Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

…

The secrets of the Webway.

Vash'tor stood in front of a device powered by demonic pain, looking at the map-like image and the four red dots that represented intruders.

"Vashtor!!"

"Vashtor!!"

An angry roar sounded behind him, and the Forge Lord slowly turned around, only to be choked by a thick arm the next second.

Looking up his arm, Vashtor saw Beelak's face filled with rage.

"Why don't you activate the portal to the main webway!" Belak roared, spitting on Vashtor's face, "I thought about all the obstacles that my army and I might encounter, but I just I didn’t expect that you were the one who hindered us!”

Just like the daily interactions between subspace creatures and slaves of darkness, a conflict broke out between Vashtor and Be'lakk again.

Be'lakor wanted to lead his demons to encircle and kill the four enemies who entered the webway, instead of waiting here for others to knock on the door.

Vashtor has the opposite opinion.

The portal was closed when Be'lakor ignored advice and personally led the demons intent on reaching the main webway where the invaders were located.

"What is your intention?" Bealak still did not choose to go further. Instead, he let go of Vashtor and chose to question it: "You let them come in on purpose. You deliberately did not station troops in the webway. What did you want? do what?"

Vashtor was silent.

Beelak felt more and more strange and continued to ask: "When you were making the iron ring, you hired the Plague Warlock, and now the webway created by the Discord Engine is undergoing a ritual close to the sacred number nine. I have long known that you have a relationship with the Dark Lords. God has made deals, but if you have ever made a deal with the Lord of Change, you must tell me."

"Indeed, as you said." Vashtor turned and stared at the map, "The garbage in the Eye of Fear alone cannot protect the trauma of this real universe. I must use the power of destruction."

Belak got the answer, as expected.

Although he was very dissatisfied with Vashtor's deliberate concealment, Bealak also knew that the two were once enemies after all, and they only came together because of common interests and what each wanted.

But some things bring more dissatisfaction than being concealed.

"How did you deal with the Lord of Change?" Billak asked word for word.

Vashtor did not answer directly, but he did not intend to hide it. He pointed to the webway space on the map and pointed to the ongoing rituals: "We all know that the old enemy can materialize everything around him."

Be'lakor knew what an old enemy was, and the Lord of Tyron, who created the Iron Man entity of the Warp, was what Vash'tor called an old enemy.

Because Vash'tor believed that entity would compete with it.

"What do you think this is for?" Billak asked.

Vashtor was as unhurried as ever, slowly explaining everything he needed to tell.

"We all know that my old enemy has the ability to materialize the highest heavenly things he comes into contact with, but I guess that is not materialization, not the materialization like when we enter the real universe and have entities."

"It's that he can have an impact on the subspace and establish the rules he is familiar with and accustomed to in the chaos."

"This is an ability that makes it difficult for creatures like us not to panic, because although he has characteristics similar to those of a soulless person, he is not a soulless person. He has a normal human soul. This is why he has entered and exited the subspace many times but has not been able to do so. The reason why he will disappear is also the reason why he can become stronger by devouring creatures like us."

"It's scary, isn't it? He can influence us, but we can't influence him."

After hearing this, Bilak thought carefully and figured out what Vashtor wanted to express.

In fact, it is very simple. The old enemy in Vashtor's mouth is a person with a soul, not without a soul as usually inferred.

This means that the subspace can exert an influence on his soul, corrupt him, or the four gods forcibly upgrade him to a demon or something - in theory, this should be the case.

In fact, it is the soul that can influence the subspace and forcibly construct rules. For example, it can materialize the invisible demons and environment in the subspace. However, the four gods cannot even perceive his existence. Obviously, this influence is a single one. Aspects.

I was really frightened to think about it, but Beelak really wanted to ask Vashtor a key question: "What you said is all speculation, and even if it is true, this matter is the same as your arrangement in the webway. It has nothing to do with the deal you made with the Lord of Change, nor does it have anything to do with the fact that we are being killed now."

"No, it has a lot to do with it." Vashtor pointed to the location of the previous eighty-one-person ceremony. "The function of this ceremony is to detect. The Lord of Changes disguised it as a ritual that seemed to be an entity, but it was actually made of pure Constructed with spiritual energy, this ritual would not exist on a physical level.”

"But the ritual not only existed, but was also destroyed. Does that confirm your theory?" Billak said.

"Yes, I have also checked the monitoring data returned from that ceremony, which confirms my theory." Vashtor nodded.

"What does this have to do with your deal?" Bilak breathed impatiently and continued to ask.

Vashtor stared at Be'lak and said slowly: "If my old enemy can have an impact on the subspace, then using this characteristic can achieve a purpose, and this purpose is to make him ascend to god."

The Lord of the Forge spoke in a calm and calm tone, but the words it spoke made Be'lakk feel like he was struck by lightning.

"Ascension to God?" Billak was horrified, "What is this for! What the Lord of Changes does is tantamount to collaborating with the enemy. If you look at it from the perspective of subspace, it is collaborating with the enemy, collaborating with the enemy!"

Billak was obviously shocked. It paced back and forth and roared angrily: "Ascended to God? What kind of god did he ascend to? A secondary god? Or a true god? No, it can't be a true god. In the eighth level trial There is no place for him! And if he is a secondary god, and he was not born in the subspace and was influenced by the real universe, how could he..."

After thinking back and forth, Be'lak returned to Vashtor and roared: "You still don't want to tell me the truth! You are lying to me!"

"No, this is the deal I made with the Lord of Change," Vashtor said.

"The subspace cannot affect your old enemy. Those rules are meaningless to him. How can he become a god?!" Billak roared, "Besides, what's the point of him becoming a god?"

"He is not affected, but he can take the initiative to influence it. If he is willing to ascend to the gods, then he can..." Vashtor replied solemnly, "The Lord of Changes hopes that he will be bound by Chaos after ascending to the gods. He He will indeed be more powerful, but he will no longer be immune to the influence of Chaos as he is now, and he will be forced to join the great game instead of being a mere spectator."

Be'lak couldn't believe what he heard, and he was more likely to think that Vashtor was still deceiving him.

And even if it wasn't deception, it was just a ridiculous lie given to Vashtor by the Lord of Change.

Vashtor didn't care what Be'lak thought, it turned its head and continued to stare at the map.

"What benefits did you get from the Lord of Changes' transaction with you?" Billak asked.

"The news about the whereabouts of the three artifacts that make up the Discord Engine, your cooperation, and more... these are all benefits." Vashtor said without looking back.

"I'm warning you...I'm warning you!" Billak shouted, "If you think that the Lord of Changes has a clear purpose, you are wrong. What you think is a reasonable transaction may be just his whim. A piece of fun!”

Vash'tor stared at the map without even glancing at Be'lak.

"You have to be careful about it, did you hear that? I don't know what you think, but I can guarantee you that if what you say is true, you can't guarantee that you are really a collaborator in this ridiculous deal, and Not an object to be toyed with!" Bilak continued.

Vash'tor remained unresponsive, but it thought about Be'lak's past.

As a person who was once favored by the dark gods, Be'lakor obviously understands the temperament of the gods better than anyone else.

Realizing this, Vashtor suddenly turned his head to look at Be'lak.

On the map in front of the two people, which was driven by the pain of the devil, there were a few more blue marks.
