【战锤40k同人作品翻译】 Ennui 第二十五章:光芒 Light(9)
原文:
I was blinded.
My senses were burning with psychic overload, my eyes seared by light, my ears deafened by the thunder of an impossible heartbeat. It was like I had been thrown into the core of a dying star, surrounded by the psychic scream of an impossible sentience.
Was this the reason?
Was this why my kind had always failed to push back against the Mon-Keigh?
This mind.
This soul.
Neither dead nor alive, and somehow more than both. Its sheer presence was an eternal roar that split the torment of the warp to be heard from the lonely world that Alessa named Holy Terra, to this sieged and tainted planet, and far, far beyond.
How?
How?!
How could a race as fleeting as humanity produce a being so utterly and blindingly luminous?
“Can you feel Him?” Alessa’s voice carved through the psychic scream like a cold blade of relief. “He heard me… He heard us, Isarae!”
Her voice was high with ecstatic glee, and as I opened my eyes I found to my shock that I wasn’t fading as I had been before. I wasn’t vital or strong but the teeth that had been gnawing at the edges of my soul had been forced away by the sheer magnitude of Alessa’s God-Emperor.
