Warhammer: In the Name of Nirvana

[Of course I can take you to the final battle, Sergeant Trazin. Your death is not enough to make me sad anyway, but before that, you must answer me a question: What is the thing you are holding in your hand? What is it? 】

"This..."

"Actually, this is a magical and wonderful tool that will be used later."

【……】

[Please speak Gothic. 】

"Well, to use your unartistic language, this is: This is an extremely powerful weapon, a necessity that you urgently need in the next battle."

[I don’t think that a crusade team composed of four Primarchs will need the assistance of any weapons: even if we only hold a dagger and a bolter each, the four of us are enough to slaughter an entire legion. 】

"I am not doubting your strength, Mr. Morgan, but please consider whether you overlooked an extremely small problem in your concise and crude beheading plan?"

【……question? 】

"Yes, question: Do you really know how to kill a Primarch?"

【……】

【Do you just know? 】

"Of course I don't know. After all, I have never killed a Primarch."

"However, I have witnessed with my own eyes how our race has killed more powerful beings."

"I don't know how to kill the Primarch."

"But I have a way to kill the gods, or in other words, I have killed the gods: I was present at that final moment that symbolized despair and revenge, I witnessed and remembered it all, Those are my most precious memory fragments and collections, don’t you want to hear how I did this?”

[Isn’t this free? 】

"Of course it's not free."

"But please don't worry. You don't need to pay this price because someone has already paid for it in advance. I'm just here to complete the finishing work of the transaction."

【……who is it? 】

"The man you're going to kill now."

——————

The silver light flashed, the sky and the earth fell, the distance between the stars was erased with the raising of a hand, the lonely and cold arc of the sky and the dusty sand sea and stone desert became only a door apart, the movements of thousands of armies, At this moment, it is as easy as walking slowly from the kitchen to the dining room with a plate of hearty breakfast.

Such was the power of the psionic, the power of the Primarch, the power of Morgan: with the passage of time and the upheavals of the High Heavens, her hold on the world expanded like a wildfire in the dry autumn.

From the beginning, it took a lot of concentration to teleport a team of dozens or hundreds of people to the end of the field of vision intact.

Until now, just by waving your fingers and blinking your eyelids, thousands of brave warriors can escape the shackles of gravity and walk calmly from the main hall on the battleship to the surface of the stars, leaving behind traces of their faces. That surprised sigh.

In addition to these smallest details, the spiritual power of the Lord of Avalon can also be used in greater directions: not to mention the processing of vast amounts of information and the coordinated command of the four legions and fleets, Just because the landing troops on the ground have been able to fight without hindrance so far is inseparable from the Spider Queen's full protection.

If Morgan's psychic powers hadn't been as overwhelming as a fowler's grand snare, tens of thousands of Astartes warriors might have succumbed to the extreme thought control on the Dead Star.

As the last lair chosen by Heydrich, the danger level on the Dead Star even exceeded what the veterans fighting on the front line had seen and heard: before, Morgan had neglected once during the high-intensity work of multi-threading. That was the shortest time.

And at the moment when the Primarch was temporarily unavailable, the one hundred veterans wandering on the outer front: no matter which legion they came from, no matter how determined and experienced they were, they were all in that brief moment. In an instant, he was controlled by the will of the heartless and became a puppet no different from those flesh and blood monsters.

The speed was so fast that even Morgan couldn't reverse it all, and the control was so thorough that even the Spider Queen who reacted could no longer save them: these veterans' remaining self-awareness could only howl in despair. Look, As their bodies were twisted and turned under absolute control, knives and explosives were pierced into each other's bodies, until their blood ran out and their hearts stagnated, until they fell, dissolved, and got up again, becoming A member of Heydrich's army of neither sorrow nor joy.

The last bit of their souls was used as nourishment and was swallowed up by the Death Star itself. Captured by some unknown force, they began to fall all the way: falling into the earth's crust, falling into the mantle, falling into the earth's core, and finally falling. Entering an abyss that even Morgan dared not explore deeply, it was not somewhere in the subspace, but some kind of hole hidden in the world itself, some kind of hole that should not exist at all.

Some kind of...

"Unsettling place, isn't it?"

Standing beside Morgan, Trazin's cold smile had never made the Lord of Avalon feel as sincerely annoyed as it does now, but Morgan still had to bring this well-informed undead overlord with him. As the last trump card in a desperate future.

【Do you know what that is? 】

Morgan turned her head and glanced at the Endless behind her left. She no longer had any false feelings for this alien old guy in her heart: beside them, thousands of Astartes warriors seemed to be surrounded by Like the rivers blocked by the mountains, they were divided into several strands in an orderly manner to support those fronts with different directions but the same critical situation.

Among these supporters, they are not just the warriors of the Dawnbreaker, but evenly come from all four legions. They are almost the last organized elite force provided by the human empire in this war, and the near-earth Although there are still some soldiers who have been dispersed in the orbit and fleet, for this war as a whole, their positioning is actually no more different from that of "stragglers".

The high-intensity internal and external battles that lasted for hundreds of hours caused more casualties than the Primarchs had originally predicted. Even the Dawnbreaker Legion, which used its troops the most carefully and had the smallest casualty ratio, had already suffered a high death rate. Came to the tenth.

In addition, there are four times this number of Sons of Morgan. They rely on their re-modified physical fitness and the extremely strong vitality brought by their gene seeds, and were extracted from the skeletal palms of the God of the Dead by the pharmacists. Forcibly dragged back, they left the battle as seriously injured rather than dead: as for the soldiers of the other three legions, they did not have such good luck, and their casualties can be imagined.

"I'm afraid I can't answer your question, Mr. Morgan. After all, the Milky Way is countless times wider than you and I imagined. Even a memory carrier like me that has spanned tens of millions of years cannot remember that I have seen it before. Everything I’ve ever seen, read, or heard about, not to mention there are many more things I’ve never heard of in this galaxy.”

Trazin shook his head in a humble scholar manner, but his tone of rejection did not disappoint Morgan: in more than ten years of getting along, whether it was the human Primarch or the Necron overlord, They already have a basic understanding of each other: Spider Queen knows very well that according to Trazin's current tone, he must still have a twist in the second half of the sentence.

"but……"

The Overlord of Solenums rubbed his expensively disguised face.

"Although this Milky Way is so big that even I can't remember all of it, from another perspective, it is very small. As you humans once said, there is an old saying: There is nothing new under the sun. .”

"In the galaxy, there are actually very few completely new concepts. When we have a deep understanding of the existence of one thing, we can draw inferences from one example and understand thousands of conceptually similar things."

"So, even though it was my first time to come to this place, the moment I saw this world and noticed something strange, I already more or less realized what your brother was going to do: Next, I need to All I had to do was conduct some on-the-spot investigation and combine it with the new knowledge I gained from the memory array to confirm the correctness of this view in my mind."

[This will take a while? 】

"According to my calculations, I will definitely be able to complete this mission before you arrive at the final lair. However, this still requires an authorization from you: I need a small team that can break away from the large army to escort me. to carry out this exploration mission, and other such petty powers.”

【……】

Morgan did not immediately reply to the Necron overlord. She just stood on the conspicuous low hill, letting hundreds of warriors pass by her pupils, accepting their gazes or salutes, until Most of the warriors belonging to other legions had already walked away, and only after they were left with the Old Guards guarding the distance, did the original body turn around, take a few steps, come to Trazin, and lower his head. , looking directly at the alien's dark green eyes hidden in the hood.

[How should I trust you, Alien: Don’t use our mere ten years of experience together as an example. In my blood, in the depths of my soul, every element that makes up me is... Scream at me at the top of your lungs and make me doubt every word that comes out of your mouth with the utmost malice. 】

"This is not a question of doubt, ma'am."

Trazin didn't seem surprised at all by what he saw. Perhaps Morgan's reaction had been expected by him.

"Your heirs are bleeding, your brothers and your legion are in danger, but you can't guarantee that their heroic fight will get a glorious future, because the future is hidden in the unknown, and even you can't Undetectable location."

"In this case, no matter whether my proposal is malicious or not, as long as I can help you win the final victory, you will definitely accept it based on your character, right?"

"I'm just asking for the escort of a small team. Compared with the tens of thousands of your descendants who are bleeding and dying on the front line, an elite team is just a negligible bargaining chip: If you can seal the victory by sacrificing only five people, will you refuse? Such a deal?"

Morgan frowned.

[My heirs did bleed and die there. Since I met them, I have never lost them in such pain, but they knew what they were dying for. They gradually fought side by side with the Inner Ring Knights and Wolf Guards. Withered, they were dying for a war that must be won: don't confuse that with all this, alien! 】

"Well, those are noble words and noble reasons: but as far as reality is concerned, this large paragraph of your impassioned speech is pale in comparison."

The Endless One spread his hands. When he stood there and spoke to Morgan, there was an elder-like gentleness and helplessness in his voice, as if he was teaching someone whom he was extremely optimistic about. But he was helpless as the younger generation who had conflicts with him.

"To put it in bloody reality: Even if I deliberately consume a group of your soldiers, what will happen? You need my research results and speculations, and you also need the weapon I am carrying now. This is your I have to bow my head and admit it, the original body."

"You can't always win, nor can you always hold your head high. Frustration and loss are things that every life must experience, and you are no exception."

【……】

"The reason why I can stand here and talk to you about these things is because the setbacks I have encountered are greater than you, and the things I have lost are even more unimaginable to you: so I am more fearless than you imagine, So I can step into this war without any baggage.”

【……】

"Look, what you should do is take my advice now and put your perspective on what really matters."

"After all, your descendants, those Le Fay Knights: Oh, I like this name. The terminator force unique to your legion. All members are old monsters who have served for more than two hundred years. They have already touched it. It’s on the edge of the final fortress.”

"But if you don't pay attention to them, their victory and life may end here: Have you discovered that at the edge of your spiritual senses, some things that the real universe cannot tolerate have appeared? They He is your real enemy."

【……】

The Primarch's brow furrowed.

Morgan realized that his improvised bluff had been exposed by this cunning guy: Trazin was right, in the Spider Queen's psychic perception network that was always doing its best to cover the world, The demonic tide pouring in from the cracks in the subspace has long been detected.

A few seconds ago, their specifications were within the expectations of the Lord of Avalon, but now, this is an army that needs Morgan to take seriously: the power of subspace can always make pure numbers become amazing. The hammer of despair.

【……】

[You will get what you want, Trazin. I will issue a password. Whether it is a team or something else, you can allocate it according to my order. I will let Lana stay to assist you. I hope I won't be disappointed with your results. 】

"Um……"

"Can you please change someone else?"

The Endless One looked a little helpless.

【What's wrong? Rana is the most powerful child I can find now. 】

"I don't deny this, but there is a little... nastiness between me and that soldier: mainly because he really can't understand the necessity of failure in an adventure activity, although I am used to those failures. , but he clearly hasn’t."

【……】

Morgan didn't understand what he was talking about: it was probably some archeology thing.

[I don’t have the time to care about your quarrels right now: orders will be issued, and you can choose your own team. 】

"Thank you very much for your generosity, my lord."

The Endless One saluted exaggeratedly.

"I promise to finish my job before it's too late: before. Please accept this box and keep the weapon inside until you can hand it over to the right person, the The person could be one of your blood brothers.”

【……What exactly is this? 】

"To use your superficial understanding as humans, this is the dagger buried in the scroll, the sharp blade used to assassinate the emperor: According to the worst case scenario I can imagine, if there is no such weapon, You can’t kill the enemy you’re going to face next.”

[Can you kill using it? So is there anything special about this weapon itself? 】

"There is really nothing special about it. After all, it is a weapon with a single purpose. From the moment it was created, it has only one mission."

【What is it? 】

"Kill the God."

"Kill the gods we have avenged and killed."

"The weapon in front of you is just a fragment from that time: you can't imagine how powerful we have used to kill those gods, and as a part of that power, the power of this sharp blade has a huge impact on the situation in front of us. It’s enough for me.”

[Aren’t they already dead? 】

"Yes, in theory."

"But now, someone is using their corpses to fight against you."

"And this is also the direct reason why I have to intervene in this war: your brother built himself a new body, a body pieced together by the gods of the past. With these scraps of metal in your hands, , it is impossible to truly threaten him."

"Frankly, I don't know how he did it, but I know..."

"He must be destroyed, completely destroyed, just like we destroyed those evil gods who took away everything from us, and be completely erased from the real universe."

"And if you can't do it: then we will do the necessary work."

I have to get up early tomorrow, so there will be no second update. You should also go to bed early.
