Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

…

When the fleet battle is going on.

Carlos the Destiny Weaver is in a void base transformed from an asteroid.

The two heads of the Demon Lord were staring in the direction of the fleet battle, but there was an airtight wall in front of it.

Carlos doesn't need eyes to observe everything. He can see the past and the future. If he can't see it, the Book of Destiny, which records everything in the future, will help him see it.

But at this moment, Carlos could only see a blank space and a lot of dead people in the future's head.

The pages of the Book of Destiny are quietly turning, and each page records the experiences of one dead person after another.

[Gray died in the bottom nest of Tyrone's nest. 】

[Adam died in the mouth of the Tyranid war beast. 】

The experiences and records of these dead people have no meaning to Carlos. The only function is to make him make a decision to run away quickly, so as not to be attacked by a lot of dead people or weapons like the last time in Cadia. Consumables are hunted by the soulless.

The All-Changing Demon Lord gently raised the Staff of Tomorrow and struck it on the wall in front of him.

Any object touched by the Staff of Tomorrow will undergo continuous and bizarre changes. The wall sometimes turns into flesh and sometimes turns into crystal, but no matter how it changes, it has the function of allowing Carlos to penetrate it and return to the Crystal Demon Realm.

"Return...quickly...come...to the Demon Realm..."

Carlos was about to enter the wall when he heard a whisper.

That was a whisper from the Lord of All Changes. Its power was unprecedentedly powerful due to the changes in the real universe, and even made Carlos, who was part of the Lord of All Changes, feel torment and pain.

This series of whispers formed a message in Carlos's mind: Come back quickly.

Tzeentch's urging actually made Carlos subconsciously take back the step he took and move away from the wall.

For Carlos, if his master doesn't urge him to do something, then he must do it. Otherwise, he must make a careful calculation to see if there is any trap here.

"return!"

Another whisper reached Carlos' ears.

Carlos directly closed the passage opened in the wall to return to the Crystal Demon Realm, and began to think about whether he should stay in the Maelstrom for a while longer.

The whisper did not sound again, but Carlos heard someone speaking again. The voice was very familiar. It was the voice of Magnus, the original body who had become a demon.

"Come back," Magnus said. "This is part of the plan."

Although Carlos believed that Magnus was more reliable than his master, he still did not listen to the Ascension Primarch because his honest mind believed that this was not part of the plan.

The original plan was to find Guilliman through the Book of Destiny, and then Carlos and Magnus would be in the Maelstrom and the other in the Demon Realm of Tzeentch, using the lives and souls of millions of people to make it impossible for Guilliman to escape.

If it goes according to plan and Guilliman escapes, then Magnus should immediately pursue Guilliman, stop his good brother and then kidnap him back, trying to find a way to corrupt Guilliman.

But this is what Magnus has to do. Carlos believes that his mission has been completed. If it were not for the whispers from his master, he would not hesitate to return to the Crystal Demon Realm.

"We have to prepare for a bigger plan." Magnus continued to persuade. "The bigger plan is the most important. We must solve a bigger threat."

Carlos has still not made a decision. It believes that there is a certain probability that Magnus is defrauding him with his master.

With many doubts, Carlos looked to the Book of Destiny for an explanation.

The Book of Destiny quickly turned the pages. This time, what appeared on the page was no longer dead people or blank spaces one after another, but detailed text.

It shows that Magnus will go to the moon to stop Guilliman through the compromised webway, which was the original plan.

Then it was shown that Magnus had changed his mind. It discussed with the Lord of Changes in the Crystal Demon Realm for a long time, and finally came up with a new plan.

It is unknown what this plan is, but the Book of Destiny describes from the side that this is a plan that the Lord of Changes has planned for a long time, a higher priority plan, a more urgent plan, a plan to eliminate the real threat... In short, it is a plan.

"Carlos, you are a wise and current guy." Magnus said suddenly, "If you were stupid, you would be dead long ago."

Carlos very much agrees with this assessment: "Correct. Do you know why I am so smart? Because I know when to stop and not keep raising."

"So." Magnus enhanced his psychic powers and roared at Carlos with penetrating and thick psychic words, "Take your wisdom and come back quickly!"

"I'll go back right away." Carlos opened a portal to the other side of the maelstrom. "I still can't believe you, you guys. I will go back when I think it's time. Anyway, there is no place where you are staying. Time, it doesn’t matter when I go back.”

After saying that, Carlos blocked Magnus's psychic energy, stepped into the gate and teleported to an inaccessible place in the Maelstrom, where he would stay for a while until he thought he could go back.

Carlos knew that nothing he could do would anger his master, because this kind of suspicion, this kind of detour when he could go back directly, could actually please his master.

…

the other side.

Huron sat on the throne, quietly observing the ongoing fleet battle.

The Macragge's Glory escaped with Guilliman, and now it is still facing the attack of the enemy fleet. What's even more terrible is that the people in the Blackstone Fortress just now had their minds shattered and committed suicide in various strange ways.

The current situation is very bad.

Huron could think of only two solutions.

First, turn to the dark gods for help. But this might bring you closer to them, which is not good.

Second, escape. Run away like Carlos did.

Huron did not see Carlos escape with his own eyes, but he could not contact the big demon now, so he was 90% sure that Carlos had escaped.

"We will lose this fleet battle soon, you must make a decision quickly!" Huron's deputy saw the explosion of many battleships with his spiritual power. He was sure that if Huron hesitated any longer, the Red Pirates would be finished.

"I don't understand." Huron looked confused. "Why did the Tyron navy come to the maelstrom to rescue the original body? They did it, but they still haven't left. The maelstrom is not a good place for them. "

After listening to Huron's words, the deputy thought about it carefully and became equally puzzled.

Guilliman is gone, and the Tyron navy staying in the maelstrom is facing more than just the red pirate fleet.

The whispers of the dark gods are invading the will of everyone in the fleet. The deputy was able to see the situation on the Tyrone Navy side with his spiritual power. He found that there were already people in the enemy who were mutated by the influence of the maelstrom. Although There are only a few here and there, but the number is gradually increasing.
