Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

Chapter 444 Black and Red, Planning in the Shadows (29) Contact
Otto?

Calvin, who was meditating, seemed to feel something, and his slightly opened eyes also looked towards the north of Jamolo.

The design advantages of the Retribution-class battleship appeared again. Under the action of the super-powered engine, the Unremitting Jihad had reached the edge of Hepper's Forge World at this time.

And the one-time toy he gave to Otto a week ago was apparently also sent to qualified users by the gray knights.

Just now, Calvin saw that familiar light spot in meditation.

Responding to the call of the legion's will, Calvin projected a ray of his own will to the distant Otto along the coordinates given by the medal.

This is enough, there is no distance in the physical sense in the subspace, and with clear coordinate guidance, the power he projects is almost instantaneous.

The will of the Legion along the way continues to track this seed, and every soldier contributes his own strength to it.

When the seeds grow into fruits, when the dagger expands into a sharp sword, the door opened by the medal is just formed.

So in front of Marsh and the inanimate, all this happened in an instant.

At the moment when the medal fell to the ground and glowed, an incandescent flame appeared from the void, and the demon died under this precise fixed-point killing before it had time to react.

The flames that annihilated the soul and true name burned on the Word Bearer, and the demon possessed by the Word Bearer has been swallowed by Calvin's soul.

The polluted armor returns to its original color again, and after being corrected by the laws of physics, it becomes scrap iron corroded by time;
But after the distorted body lost its soul, it didn't even have a chance to collapse. It just silently turned into ashes, and then was blown away by the howling airflow on the snow mountain...

And this is just the beginning.

Because the preciousness of the Blessed Son is beyond the imagination of anyone except the Word Bearers Legion itself.

It is rare to be called to be fit to reform, not to mention that few beings in the void are willing to join with mortals.

And the process of merging two souls is even more dangerous. Without the direct intervention of the gods, every newborn blessed son is a core member of the legion.

They are the leaders of the legion warriors, and the power brought by the dead makes them sharp spearheads on the battlefield;
They are also the main components of the Dark Council, because after all, those who are lucky enough to complete the feat of raising demons are a minority.

And the power struggles of the legions often last for hundreds of years. In order to gain a long life, the path they represent is the necessary choice for most Word Bearers.

And it was such a precious warrior who died on the battlefield of Otto. His fall obviously triggered a certain mechanism, so that the fallen Primarch could detect it even if it was thousands of miles away.

It was precisely because of this opportunity that the masters of the two legions finally made their first special contact a week after the war started, separated by hundreds of light-years of physical space.

The eyes of the Dark Lord followed the traces of the Blessed Son, and Calvin's will had no time to recede.

The coming of the two wills is based on the blessed son, so in reality and the void, the collision between each other's wills is inevitable.

There was no sound, but the power of the latter was disintegrated by the power of the former as soon as it came.The snooping is at hand, and Calvin looks toward the source of the power.

A dark twisted thing, this is Calvin's intuitive feeling for Lorgar.

After the fall of this former golden son, except for a little subspace essence, there is no trace of once belonging to the empire.

That is another distortion different from the gods' family, which is more primitive disorder and darkness directly derived from chaos.

He had never seen Lorgar.

Being able to distinguish his identity is entirely from the appearance of the Word Bearer and the unique power characteristics of the other party that belong to the Primarch.

The appearance of the Fallen Demon Primarch surprised Calvin, but he was not surprised, because the sense of crisis that had been present in his intuition for a long time finally found its real source at this moment.

A black hole... or a black abyss, this conclusion is Lorgar's feeling towards Calvin.

He never imagined that a being who was written by the Emperor and was also a Primarch had more obvious psychic qualities than Magnus.

What makes him even more ironic is that its essence is even more inhuman than the former Magnus.

what is that?The sense of crisis made him, Lorgar, restrain his temptation.

But just a face-to-face observation, the information obtained has exceeded his greatest expectations.

A greater danger than death.

"Well, interesting..."

The Prayer of the Three Saints, in the almost eternal darkness of the Temple of Despair, the king sitting on the obsidian throne is whispering.

It wasn't the work of his cheap father, at least not quite.

Pragmatism, or utilitarianism, is that man's style, which can be seen from his attitude towards himself and other brothers.

It's no surprise that the Rebellion's damage to the Empire changed his attitude towards psychics and the Warp;

But is something more difficult to control than Magnus really suitable as a tool for him to realize his ideal?Not necessarily...

Thinking of the information gathered from the legion earlier, the monarch who was hiding in the dark couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth even more.

It's not just me who has cognitive errors.

Even the Eye of Terror didn't notice this person's abnormality, so thinking about his cheap brothers, he thought it was another failed tool.

You guys are all wrong...

The devil prince's whispers echoed in the empty hall, while the consciousness in his soul carefully avoided touching those "names and taboos".

Omniscient and omnipotent, huh...

It was another taunt of unknown meaning, but it was a pity that there was no possibility of this harvest being shared.

The halo of the gods was shattered again, and Luo Jia, who had truly ascended to the devil, had a more urgent and greedy desire for power besides his belief in chaos itself.

Or in other words, the real him has never changed, and the change in attitude is just a further step in the pursuit of strength.

Betrayed by his worship of destruction, now he is abandoned by his understanding of the nature of Chaos.

Same people, same logic.

The difference is that before the first change, he still needs someone to "lure" him to cross the bottom line of morality and humanity.

However, there were only zero or countless times of betrayal. When he gave up worshiping the gods, he no longer had any psychological burden, let alone any reason.

Under the throne in the darkness, two rows of Blessed Sons stood quietly.

They don't know why their lord laughs, but they also feel the demise of a kind from the link of the soul.

That is another kind of death that is different from the physical body, it is a kind of complete demise from the fundamental existence.

Fortunately, there is Erebus.

The Dark Lord, who had completed the "alternative contact" with Calvin, was currently thinking contentedly.

There is no one more suitable than him to test the quality of this "brother" for himself.
