Warhammer: I live under the watchful eyes of the gods

Chapter 209 The Last Peace on Prospero
After leaving the note for Ahriman, Karl turned and left the living room that had long been in ruins.

The star that had just risen in the distance projected onto him from the side of the top of the passage through the complex projection system in the pyramid library of the Black Crow School.

The warm sunlight shone on the new skin that had just grown back, bringing him a long-lost sense of comfort.

It's a pity that as the saying goes, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. This is the last tranquility on Prospero.

Those magnificent pyramid-shaped libraries will also be completely turned into twisted metal ruins and dust in the sky.

What else can he do?

Warning to the Space Wolves?
Perhaps after all the hardships, those warnings could finally be passed on to the Space Wolves who had just leaped out of the Warp.

But here Karl is facing the same problem that Captain Galo had in "The Escape of the Eisenstein" in the original history-why believe you instead of a Primarch?
Therefore, pure communication has no effect except to make the space wolves more vigilant.

If you do this, it's better to use the time you save to control some defensive forts.

At least that would give the Space Wolves some extra cover when they made a desperate assault.

But these are not Karl's final decisions.

In the chaotic thread of fate, he found a brand new path.

It is true that with the aura of the four gods after he activated his skills, even if he went to Ruth, he would only be beaten up as a corrupt element.

But at this moment on Prospero, there is another person who can show the genuine emperor's aura.

And Karl was very sure that the Emperor possessed aura that she had shown on her body, coupled with the chip in Karl's hand at the moment, was enough to prove to Russ that this place was a trap.

Of course, this is not for Ruth to retreat.

On the contrary, Karl knew the wolf king's character very well.

Even if he can convince the wolf king to accept the reality in front of him.

This battle on Prospero was also inevitable.

Excerpt from A THOUSAND SONS
And the most crucial point, the carrier capable of carrying all the wisdom and souls of the Thousand Sons is now in her (Kaya's) hands.

It is true that on the surface it is just an ordinary large revolver.

But if the 6 rounds of ammunition in Carl's hand are refilled at this moment, then the complete body will become an artifact.

An artifact blessed by the Card of Destiny.

Coincidentally, it was Karl who gave Kaya this card.

=This is a blessing, but also a curse=
Conversely, it can also be understood as: this is a curse, but also a blessing.

One side of the card is painted with "angel" and the other with "demon".

Obviously, this time in the so-called drawer of fate, Kaya pulled out an angel.

"It's a gamble that's easy to get addicted to."

From the large slug fired from the last Ahriman gun, Karl already felt the terrifying power contained in it.

While complaining about these strange gadgets given by the emperor, he opened the cover in the passage smoothly.

What was displayed in front of Karl was the communication link that connected the entire pyramid library of the Black Crow School.

What's even more amazing is that these links are actually engraved with all kinds of runes.

Thanks to this "master" who was sent to hack into the central contemplative array, he still knows a little bit of psychic power.

Otherwise, it would be really embarrassing to be "surrounded" before the invasion started.

In fact, these protections have reached a terrifying level.

After all, as the hometown of the Thousand Sons, Prospero generally has a high level of psychic power.

Naturally, these devices also applied some psionic energy and did some localization processing.

=Privilege authentication is complete, overwrite the command authority=
With the appearance of the prompt, he went to make it clear that this area had been taken over by him.

It has to be said that this kind of psionic + electronic defense is like building an iron door several meters thick, and then opening a back door for other walls that perfectly fit Tzeentch's invasion.

But the coincidence is really a coincidence, Karl happens to have all the techniques needed to crack the above.

The information flow between the cables kept running, and with the overwriting of a large number of permissions, Carl's perspective gradually expanded from a small corner on Prospero to the outside.

Tizca - the largest cluster of cities on Prospero.

It is also the main battlefield for the next apocalypse-level battle.

A large number of giant macro artillery, anti-aircraft missiles, void shield groups and orbital defense arrays are ready.

Outside the defense circle of the core pyramid of Tizca, there are a large number of mortal auxiliaries armed to the teeth——it may be more reasonable to call them the Paladin guards here.

In fact, the essence is the mortal auxiliary army completely loyal to the Thousand Sons Legion.

Like the No. 63 Expeditionary Fleet, which almost completely rebelled at the same time, due to the unique army command structure during the Great Expedition, these mortal soldiers actually did not have the right to choose their own camp.

Of course, regardless of whether these Paladin guards are at the top of the mortal auxiliary armies, what they can do is relatively limited in the fight between two fully formed Astartes legions.

But one thing is the advantage of these Paladin guards.

There is a whole planet with a complete defense system behind them.

If the fleet of the Space Wolves is a destroyer, then at this moment Prospero seems to have been built into a well-established aircraft carrier battle group.

In M31, where ground firepower can effectively threaten space, a well-defended planet is by no means a fish to be slaughtered on the chopping board.

Take the ordinary void shield array as an example, according to its standard defense principle.

There is only one factor that limits the defensive power of these giant shields --- heat dissipation.

In theory, as long as the heat dissipation can withstand it, they can absorb a huge amount of damage without loss.

Any enemy who wants to break through the defense of these steel arms will have to pay an extremely tragic price.

In addition to the siege of Terra, Horus has assembled several legions, nearly half of the galaxy's warships for siege and orbital bombing. This kind of complete planetary defense system can almost be said to be easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Clearly, the Space Wolves of this moment do not possess the above capabilities.

With the further decryption of the data, Karl saw more terrifying killer traps.

A large orbital floating minefield, like an assassin lurking in the shadows, hides in the pure black cosmic background, quietly waiting for the arrival of the prey.

On the tactical map, the giant ships belonging to the Thousand Sons have already been prepared.

Now that all the treasures have been evacuated in advance, the whole of Prospero will become a literal grave for the wolves-if Karl does not come.

If I have to complain, I can only say that there were really a lot of funeral objects for this funeral.

But as the saying goes, the blackened version of Magnus who took the initiative to call was very aware of what he had done.

His actions will not be forgiven, and he will be a sinner for the entire human race.

But so what?
The world belonging to the Astartes does not need these small foils.

======Tizka--Central Library (former site) Kaya's perspective======
It can be said that this task is really bad.

First, there was an inexplicable subspace storm, which caused the Expansion and Yukikaze they were traveling on to be separated in the chaotic subspace.

What was even more uncomfortable was that she knew exactly what would happen if she was involved in the warp storm.

Not to mention the mission left on those six bullets, whether they can escape the warp alive is a huge question.

At that time, she felt a little powerless.

Under the torrent of fate, even someone as strong as an Astarte can't control her own destiny, so why does she participate in this battle that concerns the fate of the entire human race?
Did she really overestimate her abilities?
But all these troubles disappeared when she touched the familiar card.

It was a promise, a deal.

And as the cards were turned over, she let out a long sigh of relief on the side representing an angel.

That stalwart golden aura surrounded her again, and the turbulent subspace around the Expansion gradually calmed down.

"I saw it, I saw it!"

That was the excited shout of the Navigator, who had been tormented by the babbling and noise in the warp for several days.

To be able to see the Astronomican from Terra again was a grand event of the Emperor's apparition.

But at this moment, Kaya, who has accomplished such a great deed, is not happy at all.

Cold sweat soaked her palms, and only she knew the price.

Once the devil's side appears, everything will be completely destroyed.

Oh no, destruction may have been considered the best ending.

But no matter what, she won the bet again.

But how long can this good luck last? Is it really her own luck?
Obviously the answer is no.

The blue-red giant received them, but she saw through Magnus' disguise with just one glance.

When reading those words, the look in his eyes was not remorse;
The moment she met amber's one-eyed eyes, she read the meaning - an interesting experimental pet.

So at the end of the meeting, with another draw of the "Angel Card", she pointed the black muzzle of the "Judger" that Magnus had just handed back to her at the surprised giant.

The result of the angel's guidance will not be wrong, she is obviously late.

It was a ridiculous struggle.

Kaya and her party were directly overwhelmed by the vast spiritual energy.

But this time she didn't sigh.

She has done everything within her power, and even if she fails, she is worthy of Karl for saving the lives of her entire village.

The level of events has gone far beyond what she can handle.

For a mortal, being able to raise a gun to face a Primarch exuding terrifying psychic energy is enough for her to spend a lifetime.

Of course, the premise here is that she may still leave this library that has been completely abandoned at this moment.

She vaguely remembered that when she was first imprisoned here, there were still many books and exhibits that had not been removed.

And as time passed, as more and more collections began to be transferred, she smelled a breath of war.

She knew exactly what that meant.

But there was nothing she could do about it.

There is never a shortage of food and daily necessities.

It's a pity that, except for the guards called Paladin's guards, after it was completely abandoned, no one took care of it anymore.

This is a kind of ignorance, but the psychic limiter on the shackles completely blocked Kaya's prayer path.

Apparently, the Thousand Sons, who have a lot of research on psychic power, deliberately made targeted arrangements for the shackles on Kaya's hands.

Therefore, if you want to gamble your life again, it is impossible to break the predicament with the power bestowed by the emperor.

This is also a kind of despair.

You must know that no matter how you calculate, Kaya at this moment is still only half an adult.

If it wasn't for the mutation on Istvan III, she should still be living a peaceful life.

She was obviously not ready to bear this burden.

What happened to the crew who were still on the Expansion before;

How will these companions who were imprisoned with her escape?
How to explain this failed mission to the emperor who has been observing all this;

she does not know.

She didn't even dare to think about it.

After fate left the missions written on the bullet casings, she was lost in the whirlpool of self-blame.

This is a kind of helplessness, a kind of despair.

Just like Isstvan III before, it is difficult for a small group of people to challenge the so-called majority.

What's more, at this time, the so-called vast majority represent the entire Astartes Legion.

This responsibility is too heavy, so heavy that the girl who once vowed to take care of everything alone began to miss that period of time, which was short but full of so-called "sense of security".

But that figure that can block all wind and rain is so far away, like a dream.

She even doubted whether the so-called "Carl" really existed.

This is a feeling that is far more complicated than turning over the card of fate with trembling hands.

She was a little tired, facing such a mess, she didn't even dare to face it.

But at this juncture, the accident happened again just like Karl suddenly carried her out of the prison van that represented her fateful death.

"Kata"

The sound of some kind of lock being opened broke the original silence here.

Kaya, who was caught off guard, suddenly woke up from endless despair due to the sudden opening of the handcuffs.

It's not that she has any special abilities, it's just that the upper part of the shackles that lost the magnetic force slammed hard on her forehead.

Fortunately, the quality of this thing is not too large, after all, the main function of these shackles is the suppressor surrounding them.

To a certain extent, these inhibitors that interfere with the casting of psionic spells are the biggest factor that restrains her hands and feet.

But this is abnormal, at least the lock copy should not be unlocked at this point in time.

This is the experience Kaya summed up after being detained for nearly half a month.

But then, with the sound of a small-scale speaker, a tear of unknown emotion fell from the corner of her eye.
