Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

Chapter 82 The Promised Land
What was Calvin doing now?

He has given up using the power of order to purify, and he has also given up the desire in his soul to digest these fragments and complete himself.

The black river is still pouring boundless despair and unwillingness to his world in the gap opened by Calvin in the sky.

In reality, there are also many unknown forces in the etheric ocean surrounding the Wraith Redeemer that contribute to this.

Those evil creatures attracted by the turbulent force of fate in the universe are cheering and celebrating the arrival of their carnival moment.

Once Calvin's soul was depraved, it would undoubtedly be a great victory of chaos over order in the subspace.

When a being favored by order, one of the most essential forces of the universe, falls, turns his back on his side and embraces chaos.

This will undoubtedly have an indelible impact on the future fate of the entire universe.

Even the tone of the entire universe will have a huge shift towards chaotic black.

The basic physical laws of the real universe will be more disordered and biased toward chaos, and the barrier between subspace and reality will be severely weakened throughout the entire universe.

And such a change is likely to be the last straw that decides to overwhelm the camel for this already dark and hopeless universe...

The black rainstorm was still pouring violently over Calvin's spiritual world.

The golden color that symbolizes divinity on Calvin's body is still shining brightly, and the pollution of these mortal souls has not faded his divinity for the time being.

But how much longer can he last?
When his entire spiritual world is occupied by the power of corruption, no matter how noble and holy his soul is.

After losing the support of the spiritual world, he was unable to sustain himself. When facing the negative power of a total of 20 billion souls, he still could not escape the fate of being worn out after all.

Perhaps the process will be as slow as centuries.

But from the moment the spiritual world completely fell, the result was already doomed.

And when everything is doomed to be irreversible, how does he know that those forces of chaos will not add new chips to this must-win gamble?

There is no longer any hesitation, and change will come later.

Although he hasn't figured out all the details of the matter, he already understands the general result of the choice of the current event:

Either withdraw decisively and expel these souls from their own world.

The price is that his will is no longer firm. Maybe he will spend dozens or even hundreds of years to repair the gap in his heart. Maybe he will never have the chance to repair it, but at least he has obtained the peace in front of him.

Or, bet your all on it.Concentrate your attention on the rain in your hand, although there is a high probability that you will not escape the fate of falling.But at least as a human being, he has a clear conscience.

When he thought about his situation clearly, and these two options pointing to different fates were in front of him, he already knew his choice.

There has always been only Calvin who died in battle, and there is no Calvin who flinched for a while.

The light of Calvin's golden soul became more dazzling and gentle, the flame that symbolized the power of order in the center of the soul was put aside by him, and the instinct to devour the concrete sphere of the soul was pulled away by him.

Calvin was just using the little fire of redemption he got at the beginning, trying to redeem the soul in the little rainwater he held in his palm.

But the reason why redemption is redemption is because of its cherishment and difficulty.

Redemption is not simply smashing and rebuilding, let alone roughly erasing; redemption is rebuilding order in the existing ruins of a place, so that broken souls can return to rationality and light.

Salvation requires strength, but more than that, it requires understanding.Salvation requires sincere sacrifices, but redemption requires the recipients not to give up their faith.

After experiencing such suffering and torture, do they really still have faith in reason and light?

They have already lost most of their souls, is it really worth Calvin to give his all to try the possibility that is less than one in ten thousand?
Is all this really worth it?
"Bullshit! What's the value of that!

I am most annoyed by others giving value to me! "

Calvin thought a lot at this moment.

He even thought of the little seaside story "This fish cares, this fish cares." He had read when he was a child.

But in the end, only the above sentence remained in his mind.

The reason is unexpectedly simple, Calvin is a soldier!
Whether it is Jiang Wen who lived in the army all his life in his previous life, or Calvin who is a gray knight in this life.

There is an unexpected common simplicity and purity in these aspects.

"What's worth it..."

Calvin had seen much in this life.

Those mortal auxiliaries who had lost their families, their friends, and eventually their names never asked Calvin if it was all worth it.

The same is true of Jiang Wen in his previous life.Those young children who jumped to the gap in the embankment without hesitation when the flood burst, never asked whether it was worth it.

"It's worth it to go to TM!"

Calvin used all his strength to look at the rainwater in his hands with the warmest eyes.

"One is worth it!"

The miracle seemed to be moved by his efforts at this moment, and came for his piety.

When his last strength was used up, the raindrop in Calvin's hand was finally infected by the warm fire of salvation.

The black despair receded from the water droplets, and the clear souls stood up from the air one by one.

They are few in number, but their faces are clear.The tranquil and peaceful face is no longer desperate and unwilling.

"Thank you for your mercy..."

"Thank you for your mercy..."

Their tongues were no longer able to speak, but the singing of their souls allowed Calvin to understand what they meant.

"Give us your holy name!"

"Allow us to pray for you..."

The souls seem to be leaving, and their final will is heard with their resonance.

"My name, Calvin..."

After uttering these words, Calvin no longer had the will to sustain his soul.

He's so tired, he needs a little sleep, just a little...

After all, the golden soul failed to resist the monstrous black torrent, and the golden angel flying in the sky finally fell through the clouds against the black background of the storm and fell towards the ground...

In a trance, Calvin, exhausted of strength, seemed to see his comrades-in-arms who left in a hurry without having time to spend with each other.

Those Calvins who fought for their common ideals in countless timelines and countless worlds.

When he saw these familiar and concerned faces, he smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Apologize to the brothers. Because of my willfulness, our way...maybe we can only go here."

"What do you say?"

Calvin, the champion of the Ultramarines, put his arms around him and said:

"Good job! If it were me, I would do the same! Brother, get tired. If you are tired, take a break, and we will help you push it up for a while."

Then he passed Calvin's body and walked towards the path behind him.

Iverson Assassin Calvin, who hadn’t seen him for a long time, was still as quiet and direct as before. He just looked at Calvin with a frown and said:
"The work is a bit rough..."

Then he suddenly smiled:
"But it's not messed up anyway. Take a break and leave the rest to us!"

Then he lightly hit Calvin on the shoulder with his fist, and walked towards the way behind him.

The situation was the same after that, and many Calvins stepped forward to bid him a simple farewell.

But perhaps because of time constraints, they did not exchange more pleasantries with Calvin.

The old Governor Calvin, who looked at Calvin with prudent eyes, snorted after staring at him deeply, and limped away;

Calvin, the captain who attacked the cruiser resolutely and boldly, walked away with three laughs after fisting with Calvin;

Cardinal Calvin, who was wearing an ascetic sackcloth, looked at Calvin lovingly for a while, and then resolutely walked away.

Astral Navy fighter pilot Calvin...

Mechanical Priest Calvin...

Legionnaire Calvin...

Solar Auxiliary Calvin...

Judge Calvin...

Hive city commoner Calvin...

Countless Calvin spent a seemingly long but short time in the spiritual world. After saying goodbye to him briefly, he walked towards the path behind him.

And the last one is the original one—the old man Calvin.

The old man's body is still so tall and thin.

After everyone had gone away, he walked up to Calvin on crutches.

He lowered his head and said to Calvin seriously:
"You have never let us down. Instead, please remember that we have always been proud of you."

Then, he also disappeared on the road behind Calvin...

After an unknown amount of time, Calvin, who suddenly came to his senses, regained his strength and will.

No, it is the will!His will is more pure and hard.

The strength of his divine soul also rises with the strength of his will.

The golden soul no longer radiates light outwards, but turns these lights into armor that is consistent with his reality, and wears it on his body.

Calvin opened his eyes, and the scenery that quickly slid upwards in his eyes let him know that he was still on the way of falling.

The right to interpret everything in his own spiritual world belongs to him.

He learned to visualize his own flying ability without a teacher. Two huge, silver wings satisfied his imagination and unfolded from nothing behind his back in an instant, stopping his fall from the air. !
Calvin, who was standing still again, looked down at the fire of salvation in his hand.

After it was endowed with more human and understanding memories by Calvin, who had thousands of different experiences, it also shines far better than before.

At this time, in Calvin's hands, its light jumped and danced with Calvin's breathing.

It seemed to be urging him to try its new power again.

Calvin granted its wish.

He injected his will into it again, and then he folded his wrists together and pointed at the dark clouds in the sky, a silver beam of light shot out from his hands!

This new force is so powerful!

The silver beam of light pierced through the blockade of the clouds and pushed against the black torrent all the way to the end of the black Milky Way!
The sky was filled with such silvery warm light, and the clouds disappeared without a trace after being penetrated.

Under such power, the remnant soul of Eternal Cancer was instantly purified before even the last curse could be uttered.

The black rain that fell from the sky and has not yet landed is immediately redeemed after touching this light.

One after another, the souls who had been cleansed of their former sins bowed to Calvin.

The silt on the ground began to dry and shrivel under the radiance of this light.

More souls stood up from the mud and prayed to Calvin in heaven after regaining consciousness.

After being illuminated by this ray of light, the waves on the sea surface began to calm down.

After the tide passed, countless souls stood up from the water and walked towards the land.

At this moment, all the redeemed souls naturally know the meaning of the existence of that piece of land.

There is the promised land built for these homeless suffering souls.

There is the final return of their polluted remnants.

And the name of the One who gave them this last peace was told through all the souls after the first inquiry.

They all saw Calvin's devotion and sacrifice.

Souls are praying for Calvin, they are grateful for his salvation and bestowal.

Apart from praying, they have no way to repay the mercy and mercy of the golden angel in the sky.

"Holy, Calvin! have mercy in peril!"

"Great, Calvin! Saving me is suffering!"

The land symbolizes the bearing, and the land symbolizes the promise.

People who have no land are homeless people who will eventually die as strangers.

The land without people is a wasteland, and it will never find the meaning of its own existence.

It doesn't matter how Calvin originally thought in his heart to create this land in his spiritual world, which symbolizes his willingness to bear the fate of the people of the empire.

All we need to know is that when all the souls in his spiritual world have arrived in that land, the originally empty land finally has its own people.

The meaning of the symbol is finally completed at this moment.

The people will no longer wander, because someone will finally promise them stability; the land will no longer be barren, because there will be people from then on.

On the barren plain, villages and fields were born from nothingness, and roads crossed each other.

And surrounded by the village, there is a great city rising from the center!

The towering city walls symbolize the determination to guard, and the ferocious weapons symbolize the attitude towards foreign enemies!

The towers standing everywhere mean wisdom and rationality!And the majestic and majestic palace at the highest point symbolizes the cornerstone of all this - order!
The whole city is like a huge crown made of steel, located on the central highland of this continent!
And who does the land that bears all this symbolize?

Yes, Calvin.

He symbolizes Calvin's willingness to carry the world on his back.

As a result, Calvin, whose spiritual time was still in the sky, also had an extra crown made of pure steel at the same time as the ground under his feet changed!

A total of 13 thorns correspond to the [-] towers in the city, arranged in order from small to large, and from back to front.

That crown is really too delicate, as delicate as a miniature version of the city on the surface.

That crown is too heavy and upright, because it is all made of steel that symbolizes indomitableness and responsibility!

A total of 13 thorns correspond to the thirteen towers in the city.

The Flame of Order has at some point been high above its most central thorn.

On the smaller one on the left, the flame symbolizing redemption resides in it.

At this moment, the crown on Calvin's head also heard prayers consistent with the souls on the surface.

At this moment, the voices of countless souls converged into a common voice and sounded in Calvin's head:
Holy!Holy!
