Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 168 03.0167: ‘When the needle of fate slowly turns’

"Please retell the prophecy you saw, Brother Mephiston."

This time, both of them were mentally prepared, and the tense atmosphere between them eased slightly.

"The entire Baal, our three homeworlds, and the remains of the Gene Father will be destroyed and devoured by the Tyranids."

Mephiston spoke clearly word for word.

"All the children of Sanguinius will meet their end. All the children of Sanguinius will die here."

"Is this all the prophecy is about?" Chapter Commander Dante divided his breath into three parts and slowly exhaled, and asked.

"Yes, Lord Dante."

"The ninth person has appeared. He is a mortal, a naval officer. Who are the first eight?"

Mephiston named the first eight people one by one.

"They are all great people." Dante said slowly.

The mortals with these names are all noble, ranging from the children of high lords to the descendants of legendary commanders of the Astra Militarum.

The ninth one, the naval officer's life experience is also arrogant, and he is considered prominent among the mortals.

Horatio Cochrane, the terminator of the Twelfth Black Crusade, the only living descendant of the legendary Admiral Speyer of the Gothic Fleet.

When Mephiston announced the eighth name, Dante paused.

"Second Company of Blood Angels, Brother Romain Roland. In his black rage, he drank the blood tears dripping from the statue of Sanguinius, temporarily suppressing the black rage."

When Mephiston said the name of Brother Romain Rolland, both of them fell silent.

Although it is not certain who the real Holy Blood Herald is who survived in the end.

But Dante was optimistic about Brother Romain Rolland in his heart.

Serve as an elite strike company of the Blood Angels.

The Second Company of the Blood Angels amassed the most elite assault warriors of the entire Chapter.

Everyone in the pure-blood company is the pride of the chapter. As the leader of the chapter, he has watched everyone grow into a powerful warrior and was selected by him to join the pure-blood company.

He knew Brother Romain Rolland.

The young battle brother was only ninety-nine years old.

Since becoming a member of the Blood Angels, he has stood out from the Tenth Company (the Chapter's new recruit company), quickly passed the experience of the first seven companies, and been selected as the Second Company Assault Brother.

And he drank the blood and tears of the statue of Sanguinius, under which the mortal received the blessing.

From this point of view, the two are almost starting from the same starting point. But it was a contest between the Adepts Astartes and mortals.

[But... No. 9, that mortal, that Imperial Navy officer.

[He was directly possessed by an angel...]

This once again caused the Chapter Master, whose lifespan was significantly longer than that of most Astartes, to hesitate.

He reviewed the records of angels in golden armor possessing mortals that he had seen or known about over the past thousand years.

Although not every mortal possessed by an angel managed to survive to the end.

Because the appearance of the golden-armored angel was a rare miracle after all. The right time, right place, right people and people were all indispensable.

But those who survived and became the final survivors still accounted for up to 70% of them.

This is already a very high proportion.

If that was really Sanguinus, as the herald of Sanguinius, he might be foreshadowing something.

But no matter what, only one of them will survive in the end.

As expected, time will eventually guide the children of Sanguinius to the true chosen one of the Gene Father.

Dante closed his eyes.

He extremely hoped that this final survivor would be the Romain Roland brothers who were also descendants of Sanguinius.

And he happens to have a basis:

After returning from this expedition, Brother Romain Roland will join the Death Watch as the most promising warrior in the second company to learn anti-alien strategies.

The Death Watch is a specialized anti-alien battle group composed of Space Marines in the Human Empire.

This mysterious organization never recruits openly.

Only the best warriors selected from within each war group are accepted.

Every Death Watch warrior who has undergone rigorous training and training is the most elite special weapon against aliens.

Whether they were facing Aeldari, Tyranids, Tau, Necron, or other abominable aliens, they could come up with ten thousand ways to kill these enemies of the Emperor.

They are definitely the best anti-alien experts in the empire, and their strength is beyond doubt.

If Brother Romain Roland is also the Herald of the Holy Blood, then everything will be correct.

Going to the Death Watch for further training, he will become Baal's most effective sword against the Tyranid swarm.

"Lord Dante, no matter what you are thinking, we must not interfere too much in the decision of fate.

Otherwise, when the person chosen is not the true herald of the Holy Blood of the prophecy..." The Lord of Death's voice became deeper.

"Baal's destruction will be as unstoppable as our Gene-Father's death on the Vengeful Spirit."

"I know, Brother Mephiston."

Chapter Master Dante slowly stood up.

"Let them continue their mission, and time will screen out the prophesied savior for us." Dante's vicissitudes of voice became slower and slower.

"You can rest assured, Lord Dante. I will personally watch these two." Mephiston said:

"Whether one of them survives in the end, I'll let you know as soon as possible."

"Thank you for thanking you for letting a chief think tank like you worry about this."

"The safety of Baal and the Chapter is paramount."

Mephiston saluted Dante.

After the two communicated, Mephiston used his powerful power to restore the messenger's communication with just a wave of his hand.

"Lord Dante...Ah, Lord Mephiston." The second company commander saluted again.

"We are aware of this incident."

Dante said: "Now, let Brother Romain Rolland accept the spiritual connection of Brother Mephiston, and he will decide the fate of Brother Romain Rolland."

"Understood."

The ceremony began quickly, and the young monk Romain Rolland sat on a cold steel throne, with pipelines connected in all directions behind the throne.

Many pipelines finally converge into a confluence, connecting the nerve plug of the messenger.

Mephiston stared, and a wave of shock shot out.

The ripples followed the Holy Grail of Blood, immersed in the flow of spiritual energy.

At such a long distance of tens of thousands of light years, the chief think tank Mephiston penetrated his spiritual power into the soul realm of monk Romain Rolland through the messenger.

He saw a calm pool of blood.

But beneath the calmness of the pool of blood, there is actually an undercurrent.

The power of darkness is like a black dragon that meanders through the blood lake.

Mephiston murmured a spell softly.

The pool of blood began to surge, creating gurgling waves of blood. The black undercurrents gathered in the middle and formed a vortex.

"Ah!! Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

Sitting on the Iron Throne, with his hands and feet bound by iron hoops, Brother Romain Roland twisted violently and let out a deafening roar.

This roar shocked everyone. The priests and holy blood priests were already ready beside him, always on standby.

The indestructible steel prison could hardly restrain him without even wearing power armor.

Powerful power is bursting out from the genetically modified body covered with solid muscles with incredible efficiency.

Bang!

Mephiston saw a black and red undercurrent exploding into the sky in the middle of the blood lake.

Crash--

A rain of blood fell from the sky and returned to the blood pool.

Mephiston, the Lord of Death, already knows this.

He ended the psionic immersion trial.

"Sir, can Brother Romain Roland still perform his duties?" Captain Afel asked with concern.

At this time, Brother Romain Roland shrugged his head and leaned against the Iron Throne, breathing heavily.

Relying on his strong will, he withstood the surge of black rage that was constantly being triggered by the terrifying force.

Although his thinking is a little fuzzy, he is still awake.

From his heart-rending roar, the other brothers had no idea what he had just experienced.

But everyone knew that he had gone through an extremely torturous and painful trial.

"In my opinion, there is no need for Brother Romain Rolland to serve in the Death Company for the time being."

Hearing the words of the chief think tank, the battle brothers of the second company collectively breathed a sigh of relief.

"but!"

The voice of Mephiston, the Lord of Death, suddenly became louder, surprising everyone.

"He will enter the Death Watch to hone his skills as promised."

"But my lord, Brother Romain Roland is...blind." The company commander looked at the sweating Brother Romain Roland with concern and said to the chief think tank.

"What he lost was light. But what he gained... was power."

"Yes, Lord Mephiston. I will make arrangements, please don't worry."

"Captain Afel, before returning to Baal, you have one more thing to do in the Abyss Port. Regarding the naval officer and the conspiracy he may encounter to forcibly twist his fate..."
