"You are very bold. No one has ever dared to insult astat like this."

Soshyan clenched his armor. The sound of metal friction made haomo's shoulder shake involuntarily. He knew that the other party could easily pinch and burst his head.

But he didn't regret it at all.

"But I have to admit."

Suddenly, astat's posture changed, and the threatening momentum dissipated. He looked at the boy calmly.

"You passed the examination."

"What?"

Haomo was stunned, and valkyou raised his head and looked up.

"Do you know why? Do you know the great rebellion?"

Hearing the term, Homer carefully took out his poor knowledge, but at last he shook his head.

"A long time ago, in a great war, the angels followed the emperor's steps and launched a great expedition to unify all mankind. However... The emperor's most beloved son, Zhan Shuai Horus, gradually grew dissatisfied and betrayed his father, destroying it before the emperor's great cause was completed."

This knowledge was so terrible that Homer's eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly unconsciously.

"Half of the emperor's sons joined Horus's rebellion, followed by bloody and cruel killing among brothers, and all soldiers were coerced into it. This is the significance of this assessment... I want to see whether you can adhere to your principles when your superiors ordered you to commit atrocities, and haomo kept your bottom line."

Haomo was stunned and stammered:

"But... But."

"It may be too early for you to say this, but the quality embodied in you is particularly precious in the lower layer of the nest that is only for survival. I know where it is. The people born there are too addicted to interests and survival, but you can surpass both."

Soshyanton paused and looked back at the horizon. The sun had completely sunk into the ground.

"Betraying his brother for personal gain, loss and glory is the first step to the eternal curse. For an astat, temptation will be the biggest threat he faces. When he is promised great power and power, what kind of people will not waver in their belief in the Lord of mankind? Do you understand?"

Haomo looked down at valkyou with strong emotion in his heart.

"You look like a smart child. You have to forgive me for these tricks in the examination."

There was a trace of guilt in soshyan's voice.

"But... Well... We all passed."

After glancing at the sad valkyou, haomo whispered:

"He... Also kept his hand."

"This is a test for you, not for him."

Hearing the cold words, Vayu sobbed and put his head on the ground.

"You passed the test, but your friend didn't. either you killed him, and then you were demoted as a slave of the battle group. You spent the rest of your life on the lower deck to reflect on what you did, or you let him go and enter the next round of screening, but no matter what choice he made, he was not qualified to join the battle group."

"Why?"

Valkyou cried.

"Why are you doing this to me!"

Soshyan turned his head for the first time and faced the defeated boy.

"Because we have to, haomo has his value, and you are just one of hundreds of millions of people. Everyone has his own meaning of existence, and you have realized your meaning... We are in an era of all-out war, and it is a privilege for you to realize such a valuable meaning of life."

Soshyan turned around and looked at Homer.

"This is only your first step. There are more severe tests waiting for you. I can't guarantee that you can come to the end."

"Without my protection, he will die."

Haomo still has illusions about his friends.

But soshyan then mercilessly shattered the illusion.

"You're right, but it was precisely because he had to rely on others to survive that he lost the election at first, just like I planned to eliminate you before, but now he has another reason for losing the election. His selfish desire is difficult to resist temptation in the future, and this defect is unacceptable. Therefore, I made this ruling, and my decision It is absolutely irrevocable. "

Sosh's words hit the hearts of the two teenagers like a hammer.

"Cutting by..."

Haomo looked at his friend, but the other party lowered his head. Blood, snot and tears mixed and flowed to the ground.

"It's true, he

It's true! I want to kill you to be an angel, you know. "

"But you are my good friend. You must be qualified!"

"No - I'm too weak."

Vader whispered sobbing:

"Come on, Homer, leave me alone. I really wanted to kill you. My heart was completely occupied by the desire to be an angel... I couldn't pass the test."

"Don't worry, at least he will survive now."

Soshyan held out his hand to haomo.

"He may be a sad loser now, but after a long time, if your life is completely in front of you, you may envy him."

With that, soshyan suddenly recalled the chapel and those memories.

"Once you really become astat, your life will be full of difficulties and hardships. All material desires and enjoyment will leave you. Death may be the best reward. Do you accept this fate? If you still have doubts, you should put forward it now and I will let you leave."

Haomo once again looked at valkyou.

Although he still endured the pain, the boy squatted up,

Shed tears, smiled and nodded to encourage their former good brothers.

"Go, brother! Do what you want to do, become an angel, spread your wings and fly to heaven! I will pray for you on earth."

Soshyan's outstretched hand is still waiting for haomo's response.

The Star Warrior was like a statue, motionless.

Time seems to have solidified.

Finally, haomo broke the stagnant time. He stretched out his dirty hand full of blood and held the big armored hand.

The metal made of armor is as warm as flesh and blood and vibrates slightly with the work of hidden machinery.

At the same time, soshyan also took haomo's hand and covered it completely.

"I will certainly become an angel and serve the emperor."

Looking at the boy's firm face, soshyan showed a rare smile. The quality of the boy who was not valued by him before surprised him.

The quality of these new blood seems quite good.

"OK, let's go."

With that, soshyang released his hand and turned around.

At this time, humo, who followed him foolishly, suddenly asked:

"My Lord, I don't know what you call me."

"Me."

Soshyang turned his head and said with a smile:

"My name is sohyan Alexei, the battle leader of the star knights."

Haomo was stunned. His little head was so stimulated today that it went down directly.

Until the roar of thunder Eagle about to take off and the exchange sound of soshyang sounded, he didn't return to his mind, ran over and jumped onto the cabin deck of thunder eagle.

When the huge flying beast roared into the air, haomo looked at the ground, and his familiar figure was fading away, just like he used to be
