From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 443: Trap "Tear" "Brother Killing" Curse

?

At this moment, Magnus found himself in a completely strange and bizarre environment.

He looked around, and his brother Horus had disappeared, as had Gastalin and Sekhmet.

Instead, there was an endless chaotic void, like a boundless quagmire, filled with strange green, blue, yellow and other dazzling lights.

These lights flowed like living things, entangled and intertwined with each other, forming an indescribable confusion and uneasiness.

And Magnus himself, or his consciousness, is in this space without a solid ground.

He floated on this flowing sea of ​​chaos, moving slowly along with the surging tide of colorful lights.

Despite the extremely strange surroundings, he did not show any panic or hesitation.

He immediately realized that all this was not an illusion, but that the moment he touched the heretical book, his consciousness was taken over by some powerful being.

It could be a great demon or even an evil god-level being that was forcibly dragged in here.

Magnus' eyes darkened when he noticed this, and he slowly clenched his hands.

He knew very well that he was in a realm of chaos at the moment, so the enemy's goal was most likely to trap his consciousness, weaken or even corrupt his soul, and then invade his physical body.

Magnus was no stranger to this trick.

And as his father's son, he was carefully trained and taught by his father, so that his psychic talent has long surpassed all his brothers.

He quickly adjusted his state, slightly closed his eyes, blocked out external visual interference, and began to concentrate, preparing to mobilize the pure spiritual energy in his body that was like a golden flame, symbolizing absolute order and rationality.

As spiritual energy gathered, a dazzling golden light began to emanate from his surroundings, forming a sharp contrast with the chaos around him.

Magnus planned to use a "full-strength attack" to destroy the chaotic space in front of him and free his consciousness from this strange cage.

However, just when he finished accumulating energy and was only one step away from releasing this powerful spiritual power, he suddenly stopped.

Magnus opened his eyes slightly, his gaze sharp, cautious and thoughtful.

He always felt that there seemed to be some hidden meaning behind this space, and perhaps there was important information waiting for him to interpret.

If he destroys it rashly, he might miss the key clues. Also, would his action of releasing psychic energy in this space implicate his brothers and the Glory Guard?

The more serious consequence is that once he releases an extremely powerful psychic impact, it may cause irreversible damage to the entire Pandora, especially to the space gate.

If he accidentally "destroyed" the space gate, or his psychic impact broke through the constraints of the space gate and reached the imperial palace in the main universe

Then Magnus would become the "eternal sinner" since the founding of the human empire, or in the history of mankind.

Thinking of this, he temporarily suppressed the urge to release his psychic energy and decided to first find out the nature of this chaotic void before making further decisions.

-

While Magnus was "accumulating strength and energy", but before he gave up, the atmosphere in the shelter suddenly became extremely tense -

"Father!"

"Please give the order, father!"

"Quick! We have to stop him!"

"What are you doing?! Put down your guns!"

The metallic roars and quarrels of the crowd echoed in this sturdy shelter, shaking every corner.

The Gastarins of the Luna Wolves pointed their parallel bolters at Magnus, who was in a daze and emitting dazzling golden light. At the same time, they activated the power claws on the side of their right arms, and the pulsating plasma force field was eager to try like a hungry beast.

As long as the situation changes, they will take action without hesitation.

On the other hand, the Sekhmets of the Thousand Sons fell into "chaos".

Their reactions were split into two camps:

Half of them immediately stood up, trying to stop Gastalin's actions and shouting warnings.

After all, Magnus is their Primarch, and they are Magnus's "children".

Seeing that Gastalin pointed his gun and claws at his father, half of the Sekhmet immediately wanted to protect Magnus' safety and confronted Gastalin and others.

But the other half was a little hesitant.

Their helmet's eye monitors, their 'gazes', flickered between the Primarchs Magnus and Horus.

For them, the current situation is full of contradictions.

It was their duty to protect their Primarch, but Magnus was now on the verge of losing control, and once his psychic power ran wild, the consequences would be disastrous.

The tense atmosphere in the entire shelter seemed to freeze.

Magnus' figure was wrapped in dazzling golden light, like a small sun. The light even penetrated the thick walls of the shelter and was faintly reflected on the metal wall outside.

At this moment, the Primarch was like a still statue, and his whole body was in some unknown daze, making it impossible for Gastalin and Sekhmet to tell whether the Primarch was still controlling his own psychic power or was approaching the critical point of exploding.

Everyone's anxiety is not without reason.

The release of an uncontrolled Primarch's psychic energy would undoubtedly be catastrophic, not to mention that Magnus was not an ordinary Primarch.

Not only does he have powerful psychic powers, he also possesses unparalleled psychic talent.

If he went berserk, the impact he could unleash would not be limited to the shelter or the 2nd Company Base, but would directly tear apart the crust of Pandora, turning the entire surface of the planet into a dead sea of ​​fire.

"keep Calm!"

Horus's deep and shocking roar echoed in the shelter like thunder, instantly suppressing everyone's noise.

"Yes, father!"

The Gastalins who had pointed their guns at Magnus immediately put away their weapons and stood in place, ready for battle.

A Sekhmet knelt on one knee and pleaded respectfully to Horus:

"Respected Lord Horus, please assist our father!"

The Sekhmet's tone was full of earnestness and anxiety, and it was obvious that he was extremely worried about Magnus' safety.

"Please help our father!" More Sekhmet followed, half-knelt and requested in unison.

"."

Horus was silent for a moment and did not answer immediately.

He simply nodded slightly, indicating that he would do his best to save the current situation.

At the same time he turned and looked at Magnus, his eyes complex, deep and heavy.

In fact, Horus also experienced a fierce conflict in his heart.

He trusted Magnus's wisdom and strength so much that not long ago, he fully agreed to his brother's proposal to read the heretical book.

He believed that Magnus could manipulate psionic energy to suppress any potential threats.

But the current situation clearly showed that he had underestimated the cunning and evil of Chaos.

This was a highly targeted trap.

Although Magnus no longer has blind curiosity about "unknown things" under the careful teaching of his father and has gradually become more stable and calm, when faced with intelligence that can see into the future and may even change the course of the war, Magnus will still choose to take risks.

In fact, most of the Primarchs, including Horus, like to take risks.

This is a determination that is deeply rooted in the Primarch's bones.

They would rather take risks themselves to obtain key intelligence for the benefit of the empire, or for their fathers.

The vast majority of Primarchs are not reckless people, but are confident in their own strength, wisdom, and ability to deal with crises.

However, the current situation is clearly a plot by evil gods and demons.

The heretical book that was recovered from the battlefield by the ODSTs and elite veterans, no matter how dangerous it was, should not pose a threat to a being like the Primarch.

After all, ODST and elite veterans can resist the temptation and corruption of heretical books, so there is no reason why they would have an impact on the Primarch.

However, the fact is that after Magnus touched the heretical book, he instantly fell into a state of stagnation.

Horus immediately realized that his brother's consciousness was likely held hostage by some "power" behind the book.

Although he could sense that Magnus was not in danger of death and that pure psychic energy was still protecting his body, this could not prevent a more serious problem.

Magnus can unleash powerful and chaotic psychic blasts without realizing it.

Once the psychic powers of the Primarchs, especially Magnus, were to unleash their full power, the consequences would be disastrous.

Truth be told, Horus had never seen any of his brothers unleash a full-force attack before.

However, even his brother Guilliman, who is not "interested" in psychic power, can easily destroy an entire planet if he unleashes it at full power.

And if Magnus, the brother who is unmatched in psychic attainments, loses control, perhaps the entire Pandora, and even the star system it is in, will be completely torn apart by the psychic storm, creating a "channel" that facilitates the connection between the subspace and the real universe.

This is truly a disaster of extremely high magnitude for the entire empire.

But in the current situation, unless Horus takes action and kills Magnus with one blow, it will be possible to stop Magnus from losing control.

Because of the attack, it is very likely that Magnus, whose consciousness is imprisoned, will misjudge the situation and directly trigger the psychic shock of "tearing the galaxy apart".

Thinking of this, Horus became more and more certain that from the moment he gave the order to the 2nd Company to eliminate all Na'vi regardless of whether there were signs of Chaos, he had taken the initiative to walk into the trap set by the evil god and demon.

And now he is unable to communicate with Magnus in real time.

So Horus faced two choices: either kill his closest brother, or watch his brother release a "psychic storm" that would tear apart and destroy him and the entire star system.

And this is exactly the cunningness of the evil gods and demons.

No matter what choice he made, the result would be unacceptable to Horus.

"."

Horus frowned as he saw the psychic light emanating from Magnus' body becoming increasingly intense, so dazzling that it was almost turning the entire shelter into a golden ocean of psychic energy.

The intensity of the psychic energy fluctuations was approaching a dangerous critical point, forcing him to raise his right hand, spread out his five fingers, and issue a silent command to Gastalin, who was carrying his weapon behind him.

The Gastalin immediately understood the Primarch's intention, and quickly took off the giant war hammer that was attached to the back of his power backpack. The hammer was more than three meters long and nearly four meters long, and handed it to Horus respectfully.

Horus grasped the hammer given to him by his father and named "World Breaker", and the strength in his arm tightened slightly.

The heavy texture of the warhammer entered his palm, as if reminding him of the weight of his responsibility. The look in his eyes as he looked at Magnus revealed quite complicated emotions.

There is trust and concern, but also the struggle of having to make a choice.

He believed in his brothers, but he could not place the safety and stability of tens of millions of people and the empire on trust.

He can't gamble.

If Magnus, whose consciousness is imprisoned, thinks that he can only regain his freedom by fighting with all his strength, then it will be too late.

The Chinese characters attached to the World Destroyer also glowed faintly under the reflection of the psychic light, as if responding to the master's determination.

Then, Horus raised his right hand that was tightly grasping the World Breaker, and was about to use all his strength to "interrupt" his brother -

! !

Horus saw that Magnus, who was originally wrapped in psychic light, suddenly returned to normal, which made him quickly stop swinging the hammer.

At the same time, Horus couldn't help but take a deep breath, his tense muscles finally relaxed, and even a trace of cold sweat seeped out of his palms.

I felt an indescribable sense of relief in my heart.

If he hadn't delayed for a few seconds, if he had swung the hammer a little faster

Then he might really become the Primitive who "killed his brother", and this thought made his back shiver.

It was not just him who shared the same sentiment, but everyone present.

Both Gastalin and Sekhmet were thankful that Magnus had not truly lost control, and that Horus had not wielded Worldbreaker prematurely.

-

At the same time, on Magnus' side in the "Chaos Realm", the surroundings were still filled with ever-changing colorful light, as if there was an abyss with no end.

Suddenly, a sharp and piercing curse resounded throughout the space, seemingly coming from all directions:

“****!****!!!”

"Stupid! Idiot!!! This is impossible! Why is this happening?!"

The voice was so rough as if it had been crushed by gravel, and mixed with the gurgling sound of phlegm in the throat, which made Magnus frown.

"This can't possibly be my mistake! No, it's not my fault!" The voice became sharper and sharper, with a kind of gnashing anger.

"It's you! You are such a fool! You actually made such a wrong decision!!!"

The entire space seemed to be shaking because of the roar.

However, in the face of this harsh voice, Magnus remained surprisingly calm.

His consciousness stood firm like a beacon of light.

Because he understood that the reason why the other party was cursing was that he refused to release the psychic impact, which meant that there was nothing wrong with his decision.

And the next second, a huge "figure" appeared in front of Magnus's consciousness.
