=========
Looking at the information popping up in his head, Carl let out a long sigh of relief.

Although the judge is not in his hands at the moment, but the emperor said that it is stable, then there is a high probability that it is really stable.

After a cursory glance at the skill level, he found that except for Nurgle's attention value, the other three items had all improved considerably.

"Sure enough, it still needs to be bad."

Sighing silently, Karl had no choice but to accept the fact that the best skills didn't increase his attention value at all.

It seems that there is not much relationship between the attention value and the ability to use or not. On the contrary, it is the sincere acceptance of the ideas represented by the four gods that can be improved.

This also explains why he has become a Nurgle card Chaos Egg, and the poor Wind of Recovery is still at level 2.

On the other hand, after he had been fighting wits and courage with Tzeentu for three full days, although the two sides were still in a "hostile relationship", the level of the Abyss of Wisdom had skyrocketed.

It feels like it's just a step away from reaching a whole new level.

Karl, who has already used Tier 3 Abyss of Wisdom in "History", knows exactly what kind of power it represents.

The reason why I felt that it was not easy to use before was purely because Tzeentch didn't pay attention to martial arts.

If Karl can count once, He can count countless times.

This kind of strength gap that is not in the same dimension at all reminds Karl to be more cautious next time he opens the Abyss of Wisdom in the dungeon.

After all, hiding in the dark is his biggest advantage every time he makes a copy.

Let me make a prophecy first, of course it can help him break the first layer of conspiracy on the facade.

But just like Tzeentch's doll-like trick this time, it is true that it hurts the enemy by 800 and self-damaged 1000.

But, it's good to win.

It's a pity that now another extremely terrible choice has been put in front of Karl by the emperor.

Do you choose to smoke and enjoy immediately, or wait for the pony pool?
You must know that the judge is not in Karl's hands at this moment.

According to the letter Kaya sent before, she and Franco should be in Hive Capital B-23.

It is just adjacent to the B-13 nest that Karl is currently controlling.

And further away is Hive Capital No. B-33 directly connected to the Hive Capital Group of the Imperial City,

After briefly recalling the clues and progress collected before, Karl probably summarized them as the following.

1. An extremely terrifying corruption disaster occurred in hive capital B-23, and according to Kaya’s description, this method is very similar to the demon host Karl saw before (Duke version)
2. Combined with the previous dialogue between the Emperor possessed him in the "Perfect City Incident" and when he provided the final form boost, Karl locked the core of the contradiction in the mentioned "split immortality" on the word "by".

Although I have never heard of this word, it is not difficult to deduce the hidden meaning of it simply by separating the two words "split body" and "eternal life".

Kaya's letter in particular mentions the word altar.

Karl, who just ran out from Prospero, is well aware of the horror of those things.

3. It was the mission that was interrupted because Karl activated his ability in advance, that is, the last postscript in the gift given to him by the Emperor - the cloud has gathered, that is the blood god screaming
Obviously, there is a reason for him to go to Hive Capital B-23 not far away.

Crown, tyrant, viper, poisonous insect.

These four are the leaders of the Concentric Society that Carl investigated before.

Except for the "crown" which represents the third prince in the royal family whom Karl has never even seen, the other three bombs are still buried inside Frank III.

From these code names, it is not difficult to distinguish the forces behind the characters they refer to.

Of course, in addition to these, there are many fragmentary clues that cannot be pieced together for the time being.

But just when Carl was about to "think about it" for a while, the snoring sound from beside him interrupted his thinking.

Turning his head to look, he realized that there is still a big living person here.

So if this is the case, when will you wait if you don't smoke now?

With the Aba egg bodyguard, he finally doesn't have to do a lot of physical work before "summoning".

For Carl, who has not completely dissipated the "salted fish" breath from his body at this moment, it is a little bit of unnecessary trouble to be saved.

"Hey, wake up."

Nothing happens.

I don't know if it's because of being too tired or something else, but no matter how Karl pulls it, the profuse Abadan doesn't show any sign of waking up.

There is something wrong with this.

It doesn't make sense to say that Karl has woken up, but Abadan hasn't woken up yet, right?

Besides, shouldn't the Astartes be in a fighting state all the time?

Such numbness, if someone attacked Abadan by surprise, he would have died long ago.

And after thoroughly checking around Abba's egg, and finally confirming that he is in good condition now, Karl came up with a unique trick.

"Hey, the magic pony is calling!"

In an instant, Abadan jumped up from the floor.

"Uh, um, huh?!!!"

He looked around nervously, as if he was really frightened by something.

Seeing this, Karl had no choice but to wipe off his cold sweat silently.

It scared him to death just now.

I couldn't feel it with the body of the Astartes before, but now I am back in the familiar mortal body.

Looking at the behemoth in front of him, it was really difficult for him to find the so-called sense of security.

Fortunately, in this situation, he has other countermeasures.

Taking it out of his bosom, a golden book instantly shocked Abadan like a father coming.

Aba Dankar, who had gradually calmed down after seeing that he had overreacted before, breathed a sigh of relief.

"What happened to you just now, why can't you wake up?"

This is a serious question.

Some things may not be abnormal in Karl, but it may be hard to say if it is done by other people.

It is precisely because of this that he must confirm whether this "execution task" will really cause some unknown "side effects".

Karl didn't want to capsize in the gutter like Horus did.

He gave Horus and Lorgar, who were stored in the "Astarte Lottery" at the moment, a chance.

But as far as he knew, probably no one would give him a chance.

After all, "Final Yan" is not a pleasing name.

And just as he was thinking wildly, Abadan finally woke up completely from his fugue state.

Embarrassed, he touched the back of his head, and he hurriedly explained: "It's all right, it's just that the soul transfer is a little uncomfortable."

"Which one is not suitable?" Hearing this, Carl continued to ask.

Rubbing his eyes, Abadan thought for a while and said, "Ah, it seems that the surrounding air exudes an inexplicable sense of laziness."

Hearing this, Karl suddenly realized.

It's a fart side effect.

Isn't this the Tier 2 Recovery Wind that he opened here before?

It's just that the blessing of Nurgle that Karl experienced on Prospero before was too deep, so he didn't notice anything wrong with the surrounding environment.

The truth is that 007 has done a lot, and suddenly returned to 996 and felt that he had come to a paradise on earth.

"Ahem, I probably know."

Hurriedly covering up the little embarrassment of his misjudgment, he immediately began to change the subject.

"Do you remember this book?"

Pointing to the "Astarte Lottery" in his hand, he threw his doubts back to Abadan.

"Of course, this is not..."

Abadan's originally confident answer suddenly stopped in mid-air.

He originally wanted to say that this was "The Chronicle of Urshe", after all, the aura emanating from it would not deceive people, at least it could not deceive Abbadan.

But when the line of sight gradually focused, Abadan realized the weirdness.

What does "Lotto" mean?
Why is there the breath of other Primarchs in it, and it is a breath that makes Abbadan who knows the truth feel disgusted.

Looking at the puzzled Abadan, Karl can be considered to have found his way back.

How about it, be silly!
Of course, jokes are jokes, and business must not be left behind.

"If you want to know, then watch carefully."

After speaking, Carl got busy on his own.

With a foundation of trust, he didn't need to explain too much to Abbadan.

In fact, as long as he said there was no problem, Abadan would naturally not question the emperor's envoy's judgment.

After all, what kind of strength is Karl, he has witnessed it with his own eyes.

The "good mental state" shown by Carl in front of him made Abbadan, who was already fighting with his upper and lower eyelids, feel ashamed.

Soon, a simple "altar" was erected by Karl.

On a simple small tombstone, enshrined in front of you can recognize the hand-made sculpture belonging to the belief of Big E.

In fact, this is not a necessary step.

But Carl always felt the need to do it.

Maintaining a solemn expression, he began to carefully carve words on the tombstone.

= Only this monument commemorates all the victims of the Space Wolves fleet in the Battle of Prospero =
At this moment, even Abadan put on a solemn expression.

This war is not something he and Karl can win alone.

The casualties caused by it are simply impossible to calculate.

Even Karl couldn't remember the names of all the dead souls.

But he remembered one thing, and that was the battle song of the wolf that they gave Karl in the end.

=Beside this crude bridge across the torrent=
…………

= Every harpoon counts, from the first to the last =
Written here, it should be enough as the conclusion of a tombstone.

But Karl always felt as if he had forgotten something.

After careful consideration, he finally found the name in his memory.

But this name does not seem to be engraved directly on the tombstone.

Carl had a hard time judging his thoughts from his actions.

And if his name appears here, it will inevitably cause some controversy in the future.

But if they don't mention their merits at all, Karl himself feels a little bit sorry.

In fact, he was not able to save the Thousand Sons Legion, or if he was the only one with at most a Baba egg, it was hard to say whether he could bring the pony back.

After thinking for a moment, Carl gave his answer.

= All is dust =
The last stroke fell, as if a knot in his heart had been untied, Karl felt an unprecedented sense of relief.

It is better to leave the judgment of these merits and demerits to those who come later.

Slowly put down the simple carving knife that was just dug out from all kinds of strange, rusty, uniquely placed "trash cans" that still exude the characteristics of a loving father who lives alone.

Carl took a deep breath.

"O great man who sits on the golden throne, please guide my way!"

While pretending to perform, he submitted an exchange order to the Emperor in his mind.

As a burst of golden warp energy suddenly shattered the void at the top of the tombstone, a copy of the advanced Astartes Karl had seen before slowly fell through the crack.

At this moment, Abadan was completely dumbfounded.

He can understand the first half.

But this ability to change the Astartes out of thin air is too foul, right?
Even if Abadan is well-informed, he has never seen this kind of scene.

"Single draw miracle!"

Following Karl's voice of having some secondary illnesses, Abadan turned his attention to the "Astarte Lottery"

The gold-edged parchment pages began to flip with the sound of prayers.

=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 =
=Everything in the world will decay if it falls into the hands of human beings=
= Where gods and mortals meet, not among the distant stars =
=There is no need for any pilgrimage and worship, because He is already standing beside us=
At this moment, it doesn't matter even if Abadan doesn't know what the big lottery means.

The shifting images on those pages had explained everything for Carl.

Familiar or unfamiliar faces passed by one by one.

In it, Abbadan even saw the heads of the group of Word Bearers.

"Isn't that a dream?"

Seeing these portraits belonging to the Word Bearers, Abadan reacted as if he had just woken up from a dream.

He thought that dream was just a wild thought after a busy day.

After all, how could the emperor build a perfect city by himself?

But it wasn't until this body without any obvious features descended from the golden crack that he finally reacted.

=Emperor's eyes never leave=
Seeing the dazed Abbadan, Karl could only nod silently to show that you guessed right.

For unknown reasons, the Emperor actually gambled the future of mankind on a small Frank III.

Karl couldn't understand the considerations. After all, the truth couldn't be pieced together from those words alone.

In any case, the 30k Emperor has many other options.

But why did he choose "Frank III"?
This is a paradox, at least not as far as Karl knows, to explain the behavior of the Emperor.

But he knows that the truth behind it is not something he can touch now.

Sometimes the more you know, the more desperate you will be.

Is this also a kind of protection given to him by the Emperor?
He doesn't know.

Finally, the circulating brilliance gradually took shape.

"Oh, have I run into a wolf recently?"
