Warhammer: I live under the watchful eyes of the gods

Chapter 237 Prospero's Endgame

The breath of life was fading away, at this moment Leman Russ seemed to see his own end.

Magnus covered his severed eye with one hand, and stood in the center of the ruins against the violent whistling psionic storm around him.

Silver cold flames and day-like lightning surrounded the center of the ruins, completely blocking all the Wolf Guards and Custodians who tried to rush to aid the Primarch from the arena.

The figure in the distance spread its blue wings, holding the strange object called "Book of Magnus" in one hand, and slowly floated towards Leman Russ who was lying in the pit and gasping for breath.

"You lost, like those stupid idealists."

As he spoke, Magnus slowly turned the "Book of Magnus" that revolved around psionic energy to a new page.

Then a mirror with blue light appeared in front of Ruth.

Through the light blue mirror surface, Russ saw the wolf guards outside who, although they knew it was meaningless, were still rushing towards the flame wall created by Magnus, and finally burned to death.

At this moment, even Ruth felt a little unbearable in his heart.

"See, that's why I chose."

"And now, you have one last chance."

"Surrender to Him, and you will gain the truth of everything."

As they spoke, the red and blue giant had already arrived in front of Ruth.

Dozens of pitch-black sharp blades have emerged from the void, and these sharp blades formed purely from the condensed spirit contain enough power to completely annihilate the Primarch.

This is one of the by-products that Magnus obtained from the evil god after sacrificing billions of Prospero's lives to him.

From its pitch-black surface, Russ could even see distorted faces howling.

Such a huge mental impact is enough to destroy everything.

Even including Ruth in front of him.

This is the answer sheet given by Magnus.

The guy named "Carl" in the distance is nothing to fear.

Even according to Magnus' estimate, he couldn't catch up with this time.

Divide and wipe them out, as long as Russ is eliminated first and then dealt with separately.

Anyway, He prepared another copy of those pitch-black sharp blades.

"I reject."

Ruth's refusal pulled Magnus's thoughts back from afar.

He was not surprised by this result.

Even if Russ chooses to surrender, he will feel a headache.

After all, if the Space Wolves cannot be completely wiped out, then his deal with him is out of the question.

Even in the future, the two legions will return to the cooperative state of stumbling each other.

So for Magnus, Ruth's choice also gave him a relief in a sense.

"Well then, I respect your choice, but it's a pity that you will never see the Age of Astartes again."

As if perfunctory to the boss' request, Magnus still gave the wolf king a little face at the last moment.

After all, the Wolf King is also a Primarch after all.

And the view held by Magnus at this moment is also that the Astartes stand above mortals.

At least in his own opinion, this is his "own point of view".

Silently closing the pages of the book in his hand, he injected the last trace of resentment into the black blade beside him.

"Goodbye then."

"An idealist under the false emperor."

His eyes were closed, but Magnus could still see all this through the huge eyes that opened on the pages of the book and in the sky far away.

The giant is coming.

But it was too late.

The sharp blade had already flown in front of the wolf lord.

It seems that just as Magnus expected, an era belonging to the wolf king is over.

However, at this moment, a ray of light from Magnus' shoulder suddenly flashed.

This ray of light was so strong that it even temporarily blinded Magnus' borrowed eyes.

But even so, he could still feel the sharp black blade piercing into the flesh.

Corrupts and annihilates all physical existence it touches.

But a question came to Magnus's mind.

Did he really stab Ruth?
The answer is obviously no.

"This is my last gift to you."

The dazzling light dissipated, and when Magnus saw everything in front of him, he wailed in pain.

"No!"

Ahriman's broken body appeared before his eyes.

Ten shocking wounds already doomed his death.

This is not a physical injury that can be healed by spiritual energy, even the great teacher of the Liangyu School cannot heal such an injury.

From Magnus' psychic perspective, Ahriman's soul was being corrupted and eroded by endless resentment.

Needless to say, looking at the shattered emerald scarab on Ahriman's chest, Magnus understood everything.

These tokens on the chest of every Thousand Sons warrior used to have another function - teleportation.

But even so, Magnus still couldn't understand Ahriman's behavior.

It makes no sense.

The whole of Prospero has been cut off by the forces of the Warp.

Ahriman seems to have no effect other than to die.

However, just as Magnus was trying to track the scattered aether around him, trying to figure out where Leman Russ was displaced, he suddenly felt the danger.

It seems that the psychic energy fluctuation caused by the teleportation just now sent far more than just one Ahriman.

"how is this possible?"

Sensing the crisis, Magnus immediately flapped his wings in an attempt to avoid the attack from above his head.

next moment.

A sharp claw with silvery cold flames broke through the thundering lightning layer in the sky, and grabbed Magnus straightly.

"Apex dog?"

There was no response, because at this moment the apex dog's huge claws gave the best response.

The huge mechanical claws locked Magnus's escape route with physical might.

He tried to dodge and dodge, but Ahriman's deadly teleport just now disrupted the stable space around him.

This caused Magnus' figure to flicker on the spot a few times, and then slammed into the giant sharp claw that swung down.

His body was pressed against the bite of the two sharp claws by the huge impact.

And with the roar of the Apex Dog's engine, it was violently thrown out and finally smashed deeply into the ground.

A huge cloud of dust was raised.

The originally solid metal ground was even smashed into a huge hole.

And as Magnus temporarily left the stage, the wall of flames that had roared before was blown out like a birthday candle by the storm swung by the apex dog's paw.

"Abadan, Kaya, go and recover Ahriman first, and I will deal with the magic pony."

"What is a magic pony?" Abbadan seemed to be a little confused about this new term.

Pointing to the big pit not far away, Karl turned around and asked Aba Dan beside him, "Why don't you come?"

"Okay, shall we see you then?"

"See you."

The most tacit communication requires only the most concise vocabulary.

But first of all, Abadan has to take Kaya, and give priority to recovering Ahriman who volunteered to "take the sword".

Unlucky to say.

Originally, Karl thought that Ahriman could make two moves with Magnus.

At least I can say a few words to delay the time.

Who knew that Ahriman, who was so unlucky, flashed over and directly burped his face with a big move.

Doesn't it seem that the maker of the whole plan, that is, Karl, is a bit dumb.

Fortunately, no matter what, the wolf king was at least saved.

Ironically, in another timeline.

It was these emerald scarabs that fled to the Wizard Planet with the remaining Thousand Sons.

And this time, Karl just happened to use them in reverse.

"Then, the next step is how to deal with Magnus."

Unlike the routine chasing to the hole to make up the knife, Karl ran out of the battlefield in the opposite direction.

Yes, he ran off the apex dog by teleporting.

The same move cannot be effective twice on a master.

The weakness of the apex dog has been exposed.

Its body, which was joined by creatures, was no longer able to withstand the scorching flames as before.

It is obviously extremely irrational behavior to continue to stay on this large target.

Sure enough, Karl hadn't taken a few steps.

Silver flames erupted from the huge pit in the distance.

And at the center of the flames was the disgraced Magnus.

With a roar, he swung his wings and rushed towards the apex dog beside him.

Silver flames shot out from his side again.

Like the anger in Magnus's chest, the cold flame turned into a raging flame at this moment.

These flames, like necrosis, penetrated into the apex dog's surface immediately after touching it.

Start burning the biomass part inside those apex dogs.

Under such a high temperature, the walking corpses that formed part of the body of the apex dog wailed in pain.

It weeps under the flames.

And this time, there was no Ahriman anymore.

"bump"

Kaya put away the Inquisitor who had finished shooting.

After carefully recovering the shell casing, she turned her gaze to the Abadan beside her.

The long whip fluttered in the roaring waves of psionic energy around it.

At this moment, Kaya seemed to read Abadan's true thoughts.

His body was already covered with scars.

But he never chose to back down.

In the secret chamber of the Fire Phoenix Pyramid, it was this unfallen figure that firmly blocked those lunatics who had the idea of ​​exchanging their lives for their lives.

This scene was so familiar to her eyes.

The Abba egg placed in front of her at the moment seems to be another copy of Karl in a certain sense.

Time and time again, they went into and out of dangerous situations, just to spread the hope that the Emperor stood for.

She knew that that would also be her destiny from now on.

"Then we'll see you later?"

"Yo, you're still learning fast, see you later."

After learning about Kaya's past on Istvan III and the process of sending the letter to Prospero, Abadan has lost his usual contempt for this mortal.

Kaya's presence made him realize that Karl is not the only exception among ordinary people.

At least he had placed Kaya in his heart as a "same class" rather than a mortal who could be called around at will.

Although this is not much, it is enough to prove that Karl's previous preaching had a little effect.

He picked up the giant ax that was already stained with blood.

Abbadan felt an unprecedented force.

That's not physical strength.

In fact, at this moment, his body was already exhausted from the continuous battles.

On the contrary, that power comes from above the heart.

He finally realized the significance of his efforts.

And no matter what, this is a battle of life and death without any scruples about the consequences.

But unfortunately.

Abadan was embarrassed in the same place before he pretended to be a dick.

He has no wings.

Facing Magnus, who was waving the wings of the devil and flying in the sky at this moment, he really had nothing to do.

Fortunately, soon, Karl helped him solve this problem.

Standing alone in the middle of a whole field of fallen thousand sons.

Karl guessed that this place might have once been another phalanx built by the Fire Phoenix School.

Just like the phalanx that harassed the apex dogs before, they can collectively create big fireballs -- big fireballs that knock down the ghosts flying in the sky.

Listening to the looming wailing around.

He already guessed where the giant eye in the sky came from.

At this moment, Karl also felt a little nervous.

Is this also in Magnus' or Tzeentch's plan?

he does not know.

However, the huge sense of burnout was eroding his willpower that he had managed to sustain all the time.

If I had to use an analogy, at this moment, he was like the great mentor of a certain Assassin family who had just finished handling government affairs at the end of the period.

Tired, burnout.

"But you can't stop, right, Mr. Emperor, you have to pay more!"

Take a deep breath.

"Great and loving father, can you give the humble migrant workers a sweet dream?"

Finding a slightly mottled helmet as a pillow against the back of his head, Karl found himself a fairly comfortable position.

"Everything is rotten, all beings are immortal!"

This time, it was not at the Emperor's behest.

It was Karl who guided the fatherly power that had already gathered in the distance.

At this moment, it seemed that the whole Prospero was trembling.

Two unprecedented stalwart spiritual energies converge here.

The energy that seemed to break through the laws of the physical universe all flowed through Karl, the transfer station.

Hundreds of millions of howls rang in his ears.

That's the price.

The price of begging for the gaze of the gods.

A price one cannot afford.

In front of Tzeentch, the price of the whole big job.

However, since such a huge price has been paid, the power it can exert is naturally extremely terrifying.

Those Thousand Sons who were lying on the ground like corpses stood up again.

Their skin was green and their eyes were blank.

But this did not affect the inexplicable ravings from their mouths.

They formed the most familiar phalanx like walking dead.

The psychic energy gathered here was regrouped into a dark green fireball and hit Magnus who was "teasing" the clumsy apex dog at the moment.

Everything happened so suddenly.

Even the giant eye in the distant sky didn't have time to remind him that he had become a blind giant at this moment.

It wasn't until the fireball shot out that Magnus recovered from the shock.

"Impossible, he is harming himself!"

In the etheric ocean, Magnus could see another dazzling star in the distance.

And that was the part he couldn't understand the most.

No one can bear that blessing.

The end result of doing so can only be a part of another Him completely.

But that's how it is.

Not so many ifs.

Green flames engulfed all that could be seen in the Magnus ether.

　Thank you for your reward, but this week is probably going to be very busy. I will see if I can add more next weekend.
