Warhammer: I don't want to be a stinky can! ! !

Chapter 680 128. Mystery within mystery, trap within trap, Jianqi is not a human being

No matter how huge the battlefield is, there are always gaps. Hades breathed a sigh of relief as the giant ship sank beside him. Amid the dazzling explosion, the air squeezed out of the cabin blew across his face.

"It's finally over."

Even Hades could hardly bear the high-intensity combat. He turned sideways and floating in space was no longer a novel experience.

Hades floated to the wreckage of the broken enemy ship, and on a slightly larger platform, he saw Garo who was clearing out the remnants of the alien race.

Hades snapped his fingers (even though it couldn't be heard in space), and the silver liquid immediately pierced through the enemies surrounding Garo like a bullet. Garo paused for a moment in shock, then turned to look at Hades.

"Where are you going next?"

Hades asked, seeing the golden flames on Garo's body becoming brighter and brighter - the yellow-skinned man was going to take back the cursed army.

"go back."

Jia Luo said, in the golden flames, he seemed to remember something and smiled.
"You're back... Leaving is not a bad thing. The Pale Lord is much more mature now than before... He has suffered a lot in the past ten thousand years, and he asked for it."

"How are you doing?"

Hades asked again hurriedly, but Garo just shook his head.
"What can a dead person do...? Heaven is real, and I asked for it myself - tell Vox to let the boy work hard and stop writing his diary himself."

Jialuo laughed again, but the golden flame had blurred his features.

"Maybe I'm too cruel? Vox, that taciturn guy, can only write a few things..."

Then the figure of the old soldier disappeared in the cold along with the golden flame. Hades sighed. He planned to embellish Gala's words before conveying them. At the same time, he decided to beat the yellow-skinned man next time so that he would give the cursed army more time.

He really couldn't ask for too much even though he could see Gala again after ten thousand years. After all, too many old acquaintances had disappeared in the long river of history; some were still there, but had changed forever.

Hades took a look around and confirmed that the naval battle was over. Then the space twisted and he disappeared into the void.

………………

"How's the progress?"

Hades asked, looking at the fallen Eldar in front of Mortarion. The strange multi-armed Eldar had fallen down with empty eyes, and the Black Domain took it away forever.

【The first phase of the plan was successfully completed. 】

Mortarion said that seeing Hades coming, he simply retracted the scythe. He stretched out his hand and unfolded a holographic projection to show Hades the current situation.

But Mortarion glanced at Hades and added before he began to show,
【You should take a rest.】

Hades smiled and looked at the holographic projection. Mortarion said no more and began to adjust the projection.
[On the outer battlefield of the first zone, the mortal army has successfully occupied four planets, and there are still two planets left to fight, but the situation has turned to our side. ]

[On the inner battlefield, the three most corrupted planets were also captured by the Death Guard and the Imperial Fists.]

Hades nodded. He knew the naval battle well. The Yellow Skin's superluminal fleet alone was far from enough, so the Imperial Fists and the Imperial Navy were also responsible for part of the naval battle area.

[Second War Zone... Malcador and the Dark Angels did some work. ]

The Primarch sneered.

[I hope they didn't lose too many troops in their dirty tricks. I'm going to send them to fill the line next.]

"cruel."

Hades commented:

“So where should I fill it in?”

[There is a gap in the webway. Some crazy Eldar have escaped from Comoros. I am going to send the First Legion to bring Malcador back to the main battlefield. It is time for us to see Malcador's plan.]

Hades looked calm, "What about over there?"

[Everything went well. I think my brother has been preparing for that day for too long.]

[The Lord of Mankind is also involved... He told us not to worry. ]

Mortarion emphasized the last High Gothic word and laughed scornfully.
【I decided to give him a credit loan. 】

Hades was carefully examining the star map. The Empire's army had already retaken the Empire's territory that had been infiltrated by Slaanesh forces, ensuring the stability of the territory bordering the war-torn star zone.

Next, the Imperial army will continue to advance deeper. They will face planets soaked in Slaanesh psychic energy. Some Webway entrances and exits are lurking in this star region, and the boundary between the Warp and the physical world has become blurred.

The Warp, the broken Webway, and the physical world. Slaanesh's psionics acted as the bullet that broke the boundaries between the three. The Warp was now infiltrating into the physical world through the Webway.

The Webway is originally located between the subspace and the physical world, and has the characteristics of two realms. After losing the barrier, it has accelerated the erosion of the subspace.

Slaanesh used the corruption of the Eldar to unleash so much psychic energy at once...

This will also be more difficult for Hades. Last time, it was Slaanesh who took the initiative to tear through the veil and enter the physical world, but this time, Hades will try to enter the subspace. It is okay for a short stay, but once the time is prolonged, the stay will become more difficult.

He could also break out by force, but the price would still be a ticket to the intensive care unit of the medical room.

Hades cannot go to the ICU for the time being. If Chaos launches a powerful attack now, he can still hold on for a while. If he is consumed in advance, Chaos will be able to act recklessly.

"You can still trust the yellow-skinned man on important matters."

Hades pondered the star map and said,

"After all, if he fails this time... he will probably be the saddest one."

The Primarch sneered again.
[Then he shouldn't have concealed it... The numbers told me what the Lord of Mankind concealed... Trazyn came to me just now, guess what it said? ]

"what?"

Hades blinked, but Mortarion slowly removed the lantern filled with alien souls from his scythe and handed it to Hades. Hades subconsciously took it, realizing that this was the soul that the god of death had given him to deal with.

He did not refuse, and the black area covered them directly. Amidst the faint screams, the lights went out again.

[The death of Slaanesh will cause chaos in time, which may attract the attention of the Necrons... But I think there are more than just Necrons watching here. 】

Mortarion said calmly, seeing the answer the number gave him, nine.

He is everywhere.

Death thought silently, having fallen into a kind of silent anger. He never forgot that the betrayal in the garden was also the work of Tzeentch, even though He hid himself very well.

"Tzeentch?"

Hades asked casually, as if he knew what Mortarion was thinking, and Mortarion nodded.

Hades also fell into a brief thought. He did not intend to outsmart Tzeentch, because Tzeentch would always have more time, foresight and patience than them.

Hades' solution to this is to use force to defeat skill.

"The Lord of Mankind has been keeping an eye on Tzeentch, so there shouldn't be any problems."

[The war will not stop because of chaos... If He appears, the maze will also be set on fire. ]

Mortarion said grimly, “They will all pay the price.

Hades laughed. This standard villain speech somehow hit the funny spot.

"Then let's make the warp flammable! Light them all up!"

Hades laughed.

........................

【? ? ? 】

【? ? ? 】

[Winter is coming, my friend, do you hear the whistling cold wind? ]

Rus said with a sigh, stroking the surface of the smooth boulder. Among the green leaves and flowers, the lion's body was lying. Leon had waited for this day for too long, and so had Rus and Khan.

To fight against Tzeentch. The Wolf King thought of Magnus... He shouldn't have treated Magnus like that... Now it's their turn to suffer this.

Thinking of this, Russ began to wonder whether he was miserable now or Magnus was miserable at that time.

[Do you think he will be able to understand this when he wakes up? ]

Ruth frowned again and muttered under his thick beard, as if worried about how to explain everything to the awakened lion in a short time.

[Ruth, we are the result, not the cause; we are another possibility of failure.]

The Khan said calmly, his face looked even thinner and more resolute under the light of the sheep-oil candle, his eyes were as sharp and shining as an eagle,

[After this we can go back and face the real reality, but for them, it has just begun.]

【oh,】

Ruth said vaguely, as if he was still worried about the lion.

【What about him? Is he stuck in this cycle? 】

[He will go out with us. Have you forgotten the lion coffin your father made for him, Russ?]

【oh,】

Russ reached out and picked up a bowl of wine. The wine inside was turbid and had a pungent smell. Even the Primarch should not drink such garbage.
But both Primarchs accepted this calmly, as the shortage of supplies had been going on for a long time.

They were the retrogrades chosen by their father. Leon's situation was more complicated. The Lord of Mankind believed that they would never be confused. In fact, they had survived, but they were the only ones who did not compromise.

[It’s been so long, I can’t remember clearly.]

The wolf king said in a low voice, took a sip of wine carefully, and handed the wine bowl over, and the Khan also drank calmly.

[Is he so cruel?]

Ruth said to himself again,
[Is this how he treats lions?]

[Because only Jonson obeys him unconditionally and is more resistant to the warp than any of us.]

Khan said that he heard the sound of Orikan approaching, and it seemed that the astrologer walked very carefully, because Khan did not hear the sound of its feet stepping on the demon's flesh.

[If Leo had not been so unpopular at the time, the position of Warmaster would have been——]

[Ah, ahhhh! ]

The wolf king shouted wildly, interrupting the Khan's words.
[Don't mention this. I'd rather he just lie in front of me and be dead.]

"Cough cough."

Beside the stone platform where the lion's corpse was placed, Khan and Rus glanced at the same time, looking at the reinforcements that the Lord of Mankind had found for them.

"I have identified the second hidden time anchor point."

Orikan said that at this moment, all the metal on the astrologer's body was shining with a kind of dazzling light, and it was as if a river of stars was flowing in his single eye. A certain energy, or time, turned into an existence that could be seen by mortals from a certain angle in his palm.

【Caliban falls.】

Ruth was the first to speak out, and he snorted.

[Are you sure? Leon is right here. ]

The Khan raised a hand in front of Russ, signaling him to be silent.

"But we all know that Leon was able to get here because of me,"

Orikan raised his voice,
"I'm sure I can do it using the laws of physics - but that doesn't account for Caliban's temporal anchor in the Warp."

【So what is it? 】

Jaghatai asked,
"Malcador!"

Orekan cried, and he raised his hand,

"This is a closed time loop, and we must go back! Our return will lead to the Emperor's early resurrection - that's why he woke up earlier than the other gods! Many of his actions after this can be explained - that's why Slaanesh is like this!"

【All right,】

Ruth said,
[I don't understand... but I hope I can see you all alive after we finish the battle - I even start to miss Magnus. ]

[I just wish FTL drives were already common.]

Khan smiled.

In the cramped and smelly cabin, the two Primarchs waited for their final release.

........................

【Comoros】

He will go back.

Leon sat alone among the ruins, silently maintaining his strength. The last of the fallen angel offspring were sent back to a safe place. He also hoped that no more of the offspring who fell during the chaos would appear in Comoros.

Malcador... Luther...

The lion chewed these two names in his mouth, the former made him hate, the latter made him silent.

Zhuangsen recalled the scene at that time. He was roaring at Luther at that time. He thought that Luther had already had the intention of rebellion.

But did Luther really think so? Or was he deceived? Or did he just take a wrong step?
Should he kill him?

Do not……

Zhuangsen was silent. Every thought and recollection made him painful. He realized that Luther might have really had the intention of treason at that time. So should he forgive him?

Ten thousand years later...the lion witnessed Luther's perseverance and loyalty.

He felt confused. The beasts that grew up in the jungle could not understand people's hearts, nor could they understand the thoughts reflected in his mind. Zhuang Sen tried to understand it, but he could not find a rational way out.

The years he spent hiding in Commorro had made him more cowardly and sentimental. In the Dark Eldar arena, his complete madness had also forged true gems. The Lion rescued some of the slaves, and the slaves also gave back to him as much as possible.

The lion despised himself, but thought back to the day when Caliban exploded. He could have stopped it. If he had taken the right step, if he had communicated with Luther one more time, so much suffering could have been avoided.

He could have built an army and become a true leader and warmaster of the Empire, instead of watching Sanguinius and his men make such a blunder.

The ravens cried again and the Lion stood up, continuing to set beacons for Guilliman's arrival.

He wants to join forces with Guilliman to kill Malcador once and for all.

………………

"Tired."

A middle-aged man wearing a straw hat sat on a stone in the field. Neos took out a water bag and drank water. He looked at the clouds in the sky with a smile. He seemed to know everything that was going to happen next.

But he had the same expression the last time he put everything on the line.

If you want to get... you must place an equal stake, this is the rule of the subspace gambling game.

The Lord of Mankind cast out his hook slowly and the fish had already taken the bait. It was just a matter of time before he could catch the fish or the fish would drag him into the water.

Hmm... maybe he should say hello to Hades again.

The Lord of Humanity narrowed his eyes and put aside his many useless thoughts.

He looked at the farmer carrying a hoe in the field and walking towards him curiously. His old immortal friends, it was time to come back.

As for the feud between the Heirs and Malcador... let them handle it on their own.
