Warhammer: I live under the watchful eyes of the gods

Chapter 167 The Future Kiri Egg
Hearing Karl's answer, Abba was stunned.

He suspected that he had misheard, but the Astartes' superhuman hearing and memory were reminding him all the time, the terrifying truth that that mortal said.

=Hey low oil, isn’t this our Grand Master of Chaos, Izekyr Abaddon, the Destroyer of Empires=
(Chaos War Commander?)
(Empire Destroyer?)

He didn't understand why he had these titles on him.

But the person in front of him didn't seem to need to lie.

In other words, as long as Karl can guarantee the resurrection of Horus, then Abadan will definitely obey any of his instructions.

As long as he can resurrect Horus, he is willing to pay any price, even if he joins the so-called Chaos.

Horus is everything to him, and whether he is loyal to the empire depends entirely on Horus' position.

But just when Abadan went in the wrong direction and frantically made up his mind, Ka's next sentence immediately pulled Abadan back from the wrong topic.

"To be precise, it should be you, the other half who was left in M31."

Now the fun is even bigger.

(What does the other half mean?)

Big question marks filled the "big dumb hair" of Abadan.

It seems that this paragraph of time passed by in a flash in his eyes, and something extraordinary happened in the long years.

Looking at the dazed Abadan, Karl once again brought the "Urshe Chronicles" in front of Abadan.

=The left eye looks to the past, the right eye looks to the future, fate is impermanent, life is priceless, this is the book of secrets, this is the method of compensation =
Pointing to the message on the title page, he explained to Abadan: "Half of the soul stays in M31, and half of the soul goes to M42. This is the limit that the emperor can do."

Hearing Karl's helpless explanation, although Abadan couldn't understand the specific reason, he still heard a hint of helplessness in the emperor's decision.

But what kind of threat can make the emperor reluctantly make a compromise?
You know, that is the human empire that is about to complete its sweep across the galaxy.

That is the empire of the peak combat power of the Great Expedition.

The fleet of the empire is invincible, and he believes that within a few decades, the entire galaxy will be under the cannon of the imperial army.

It was such an extremely powerful empire that gave Aba Dan enough doubts.

What the hell happened on the Devon satellite?
Suddenly, the previously fragmented memory fragments began to be spliced ​​together.

The traitor on the Dawen satellite, the loyal soul who only took half of it, the commander of chaos...

All the evidence points to an answer that the idiot can't even imagine.

"No, you're lying, I will not betray the Warmaster, never!"

That was a warning from Abadan gnashing his teeth.

It seems that if Karl dares to spread rumors that he betrayed Horus again, he will forcibly break free from these chains and jump up to tear Karl's hands.

Seeing Abbadan's fury, Karl almost didn't hold back.

Turning the page of the book again to the page with the golden border, pointing to the two black and white line drafts on it, Carl asked back: "Do you think these two Horus are the same person?"

Hearing this, Abadan temporarily broke free from the state of rage.

Looking at the two "completely different" Warmasters on the screen, Abba realized.

He never betrayed the Warmaster, just...

Silence enveloped the treasure house glowing with faint blue light.

Seeing that Abadan's eyes were blank and he was trapped in an endless loop of logic, Karl was not in a hurry to disturb him.

He knew that at this moment, Abadan needed to be alone for a while.

But for him, there was one more thing that had to be done.

He wants to correct Abadan's thinking, which is the basis for his future cooperation with Abadan.

=Mortals can also become heroes, Astartes are just transformed humans after all=
This is Carl's true purpose.

It is true that the Astartes can achieve higher status because of their own sacrifices, but the merits of those mortals cannot be completely ignored.

Could the Great Crusade only rely on "a few million" Astartes?
It is with this distorted idea of ​​superiority over others that the traitors finally uttered the false statement that "the Emperor intends to destroy the Astartes after the Great Crusade is over".

This kind of unstoppable fantasy is doomed when they cut themselves off from the concept of "human being" and become "superior people".

The powerful force that should have been called "Guardian" was eventually distorted by Chaos into "a struggle for (leadership) power".

This is a core fuse of the M31 rebellion.

=Everything in the world will decay if it falls into the hands of human beings=
There is no right or wrong in this subtitle written on the cover of The Chronicle of Urshe.

That may just be a warning to the successor left by a sober person after witnessing enough "crazy distortions".

If it is impossible to generate a reasonable, correct, and equal understanding of the relationship between mortals and Astartes.

Karl would not hand over the "Urshe Chronicles" to Abbadan.

=This is not an order, just a prayer=
That is the postscript of the Emperor's gift for this book, and it is a truth that even the Emperor understands.

At least Abaddon must learn to say "thank you" instead of waiting for the "tribute" offered by Karl as a matter of course.

This was evident to Karl from the very beginning of the conversation.

Abaddon's attitude towards him obviously has nothing to do with "brother".

Karl even doubted that if there was no chain to lock it, would he cut Karl directly after knowing that the soul of Horus was hidden in the book, and then find a way to take the book to the Emperor to "unlock" it.

So this time, Karl wants to train the future "kiri egg" for Horus who is still sleeping.

(Third (crossed out) [-] Otarama is just around the corner!)
After thinking about the topic of the next conversation, Carl started to work.

Collect the leftovers piled up in the corner of the treasure house.

He wants to build a monument in this treasure house.

A monument to commemorate all the sacrificed soldiers of the 231th Company of the 7st Regiment.

He knew very well that it was absolutely impossible for political commissar Kedwina alone to break into the center of the Glory of Terra, which was at the center of the wave of corruption.

Maybe he once had a "sight" with those people in the A-2 dining room of that Odysseus class (combat transport ship).

But obviously, at that time, his attention was attracted by the exquisite food.

For these martyrs, he couldn't even pronounce their names.

But he wasn't worried at all.

He always had a premonition that they would meet again, in another way that was not yet guessed.

That is the thin emperor's power lodged in the revived wind, a connection across time and space.

Of course, even if you know the truth, there will be no less "tears that should be shed".

After all, it wasn't for him to see.

Maintaining a solemn expression, Carl began to carefully engrave words on the tombstone.

仅以此碑纪念，太阳辅助军231团7连政委科德威纳·麦肯宁，太阳辅助军231团7连战斗灵能者博加多·费迪南，太阳辅助军231团7连“厨子”德拉克……

And just when Karl was about to finish engraving, Abbadan's inexplicable questions came from behind him.

"Who are these people?"

"It was a group of mortals who saved your entire Legion of the Sons of Horus."

With the last stroke, a small coat of arms is etched on top of the monument.

A blue planet, a dream world, a once shattered utopia.
