Protoss in Warhammer

Chapter 496 484. Getting Ready
When the conflict between the two gods began, Gray was already here watching.

Yes, he already knew that Vaal had settled here. This god of Ada came to the Teclis Federation hundreds of years ago and lived in seclusion here.

Time goes back to the time when Gray just discovered the Teclis Federation. The reason why he locked himself out of the library for so long was because he felt Val's power and worked hard to find the man from the past. god.

Although Val tries hard to hide himself, if you look for it carefully and within a specific range, you can still find it.To Gray's surprise, after so many years, Val's strength has weakened a lot. Although his strength can still be regarded as a standard god, it is no longer as powerful as the golden age of the Eldar.

Regarding this problem, Val, who was found by Gray, explained it very clearly.The gods of the Eldar pantheon have been weakening for thousands of years since the Eye of Terror unfolded, because the Ada no longer believes in this, and instead they devote their energy and spirit to pleasure and enjoyment. gave up worship of gods.

Without the worship of believers, the gods who brought spiritual energy to replenish the spirit race naturally began to weaken slowly. This is why when the Prince of Joy was born, he was able to eliminate them and swallow up their energy. Almost exhausted.

And Val was able to survive because of chance.First of all, when the Great Fall occurred, he had already left the Pantheon, so he was not damaged by the Chaos God for the first time when he was born.The second point is that the ancient imperial navy at that time still retained the belief in the God of Craftsmanship.It was with the supplement of these beliefs that he could barely block the attack of the Prince of Joy and push it back into the void.

It's just that Val is much weaker now than at his peak. After all, almost everyone in the Eldar died in the cry of Lady Joy. Even if the remaining people can regain their faith, there is no way to replenish it. The deity's damage in the past, not to mention how many of the Ark Eldar still maintain a shrine to him, the Dark Eldar don't believe in the pantheon at all.

Therefore, Val remained half-dead for the next tens of thousands of years, living until now, avoiding the attention of other subspace entities in the galaxy, until this time, he was discovered by the reborn elder.

Vayou bluntly stated at that time that since he had been discovered, or discovered by his past master, then as a slave, the idea of ​​​​killing and beheading Suige was probably of no use to him anyway if he wanted to resist.

Naturally, Gray would not kill Val. Val himself knew this, so he said so.Gray stated that he would keep Val's secret here, but Val also needed to help him do one thing as a deal, which was to build himself a real weapon.Mortal weapons cannot be used by gods. Gray needs a weapon worthy of himself.

The God of Craftsman agreed to the ancient sage's request and spent hundreds of years building this sword.But I didn't expect that when the sword was about to be delivered, something like this would happen.Although the things that Vashtor had done were not big or small, he originally thought that they would not be a big problem for him, but he did not expect that Iskandar would come directly to find him, and Val was forced to appear again.

The God of Craftsman looked at Gray and said calmly
"Elder, I have followed your request and made your weapon. You should not disturb my life again."

Gray looked at Val and said in a helpless and calm tone.
"I really don't want to disturb you, but you must understand that it is Chaos that disturbs you, and they are destined to attack the civilization where you are currently staying."

Val was silent for a moment after hearing this. Gray knew very well that Erda's words had an effect, but it was unrealistic to just try to persuade a god who had been wandering in the galaxy for tens of thousands of years. He continued to strike while the iron was hot.
"Val, the Tigris need a god of their own, someone who can protect their civilization in the highest heaven and resist the invasion of the evil god of Chaos."

After hearing this, Val smiled, then pointed to Iskandar and said
"Why not let this woman go? Iskandar played a key role in the emergence of this civilization."

Gray glanced at Erda, who was still holding the spear and shield, and answered calmly.
"She has her own mission, so she has no way to participate in management. That's why I need your help."

Val looked at Gray, suddenly smiled and said

"I suddenly feel that it was not a good decision for me to come here hundreds of years ago. Am I being plotted by you?" Gray shrugged and said indifferently.

"Not really. Besides, even if I really have the so-called purpose, I just hope that this civilization can be protected by a responsible person."

After hearing what the elder said, the God of Craftsmen smiled miserably and said

"Do you think I am the kind of responsible person? Do you think too much? I am a person who can evade his own responsibility when his own race is destroyed. This is what Iskandar said, and you just heard it."

Gray looked at the other party word by word with his own blue-rayed eyes, and preached solemnly and with an affirmative tone.

"People don't know what happened in the galaxy in the past. Don't you, me, and she know the truth back then?

You saved Ada from Bloodhand Kane. In order to save the father and mother of all Aida, you built 99 holy swords for the God of War. However, when you finished building the 98th one, due to the construction period limit, you only He was able to hand in a handful of fakes and was hunted down by the God of War.

And it was a mortal who stabbed you in the end, a mortal whom you fought so hard to protect.After that, you were disheartened and decided to feign death to bid farewell to your compatriots and your elder brother Asuryan, bid farewell, and left the Pantheon. "

Val did not answer after hearing this. He sighed and looked at the clouds of purple energy condensed in the space where he was.Gray looked at Val and continued.
"I know what you are afraid of. Val, what you are afraid of is not the evil of subspace, not the so-called eternal enemy. What you are afraid of is that you will treat the new people with compassion again, and they will give you to you again in the end. Abandon, live up to your expectations, and embark on the path of destruction.”

Val lowered his head, his eyes flashing with uncertainty. After a long time, he just nodded, as if he agreed with the elder's statement.After Gray saw that the matter was almost over, he continued:
"Believe me, Val, the Peremans know Ada's mistakes. They have learned many lessons in the terrible doomsday. And they have proven through their own efforts that they are capable of inheriting the last representatives of your civilization. Kind things.”

The God of Craftsmen looked at the elder and nodded. Gray only needs the last word now.
"So, are you willing to plunge into the torrent of this dark galaxy again, and once again give your strength for the future of your own race and the entire galaxy? Ada's god of craftsmen, the best blacksmith in the entire galaxy, Val."

Gray stretched out his left hand, with four crystal clear fingers reaching towards the other party.Val looked at the elder in front of him, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally took it.

"What should I do? Gray."

The elder smiled and replied gently

"It's very simple. From now on, protect this civilization."
