Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

"So, you plan to continue to cooperate with me now."

As the battleship approached the Black Legion fleet, Ahriman tilted his head slightly and muffled words came out from under his horned helmet.

Because the blue gaze under the eye slit of the horned helmet fell on Luperzi, the latter clearly knew that Ahriman was speaking to him even if he was commanding so many people on the deck.

"My condition is to kidnap Fabius and clone my father. It's that simple." Luperzi said, "You help me achieve this goal. You help me kill the Word Bearers' pig den and let me Being able to grab the Blackstone Portal allows me to grab Fabius, and my goal has been achieved."

After saying that, Luperzi paused for two seconds: "But your goal has not been achieved yet, so I can't cancel the cooperation yet."

Ahriman was silent and only turned his head a moment ago without looking at Luperzi.

Of course, the latter could not guess Ahriman's mood and thoughts.

Anyway, after a moment of silence, Luperzi stroked the magic sword and asked: "What are we going to do next? I mean, we go directly into the battleship of those damn Abaddon lackeys, snatch the artifact you are talking about, and then we What are you going to do? What use does the artifact have to you?"

"It's useful." Faced with Luperzi's inquiry, Ahriman only gave a two-word response.

Luperzi did not know what Ahriman's wish was, and if he had known, he would have been shocked.

Ahriman's wish is to enter the Black Library, the Eldar's library that stores many truths about the universe, past history, and countless psychic-related knowledge.

He believed that as long as he entered the Black Library, he could find a way to restore the Thousand Sons Legion to normal, instead of remaining trapped in the armor forever, like a puppet being played with.

In addition, Ahriman also had a greater ambition. He wanted to become a transcendent being, and he wanted to... become a god.

But the prerequisite for all wishes to come true is to enter the Black Library.

One of the surviving gods of the Eldar, the Harlequin Troupe's cult, the Laughing God Hilego, is guarding the Black Library at the end of the Webway, which is inaccessible by normal means.

But if there were three artifacts that could open a path in the webway...

"Okay, I know you talk less." Luperzi held the magic sword and lowered his head to look at the eyes and ferocious face on the hilt of the magic sword. "Ever since I stabbed Abaddon ten thousand years ago, I have Having lost the destination of the Legion, I don’t even bother to have the destination of the Black Legion.”

Hearing the son of Horus mention something he had never mentioned before, Ahriman, who was standing in front of the porthole with his back to Luperzi, tilted his head slightly again.

"I don't want to be a lackey of the dark gods, and you probably don't want to either, so I hope we can work together more." Luperzi said, lowering his head and reaching out to touch the terrifying demon face on the hilt of the sword.

"Agree, agree. Hahahahaha!" The devil's face on the sword hilt let out a toothless laugh.

Only then did Ahriman turn around completely and face Luperzi: "The only good is knowledge. The only evil is ignorance."

Luperzi felt that Ahriman's quote had little meaning, but what he didn't know was that Ahriman was praising his knowledge.

In the eyes of fear, only the wise will not be regarded as lackeys and slaves of the dark gods, because the wise understand the abominations of the gods and know how to use the power of the gods without being trapped by the power of the gods.

This is what Ahriman thought.

When the Chief Wizard once fought for humanity, he never respected the Emperor to the extreme like others. He believed that he was fighting for the continuation of the human species.

But Ahriman didn't know that Luperzi actually left the legion not because he saw through the abominations of the gods, or because of some other reason.

Luperzi just felt that Abaddon had deviated from the true goal of the Gene Father, which was to kill the abominable people who wanted to sacrifice humans to the gods and save the human race from the disgusting conspiracy of a super conspirator.

When he thought that the black legion led by Abaddon was just burning, looting and cowering, and had become the lackeys of the gods, and he separated from the legion because of this, he hated the strange power that made the battle brothers hateful, and hated them all. A god who hates the Word Bearers...

He hates everything.

The Emperor's Children, the Word Bearers, the Black Legion.

During these ten thousand years, Luperzi had been taking revenge on those he hated, and he had been hunting until he met Ahriman and learned some secrets from Ahriman.

"Full speed ahead," Ahriman said.

His tone was calm, and his voice contained indifference and scholarly arrogance, but his voice would echo in everyone's ears.

Even what everyone hears is different.

The sailors trained by the Red Corsair warband from the mortal slaves in the demon world in the Maelstrom immediately followed Ahriman's orders to control the entire warship.

The captain who led this group of sailors came to Ahriman and asked him a question: "For some reason, the Black Heart King warned you after reaching an agreement with you, asking you to bring more battleships to do your thing, but you Just took us.”

As he spoke, the captain's eyes kept flicking around the porthole and Ahriman's face.

He was afraid of the huge Black Legion fleet outside.

Compared with the battleship called the New Spirit of Vengeance, this small ship is considered a sampan.

"..."

Ahriman remained silent, turned around and walked to the center of the command deck.

The scarlet warriors who followed Ahriman also gathered together, arranged as neatly and dull as machines.

"Come." Ahriman raised his hand to Luperzi, who was still standing, and invited him.

"What do you mean?" Luperzi thought Ahriman had just turned around and left just to patrol the bridge.

If you want to board the torpedo, everyone should go in the other direction.

"You are a brave man, Luperzi," Ahriman said. "You even thought of using boarding torpedoes, but we have no use for them."

"Are you going to teleport there?" Luperzi walked to Ahriman's side.

Ahriman waved his scepter.

The flow of time has become faster, but it is only faster here on the battleship.

The Huron-sponsored battleship with the black logo quickly crossed an extremely long distance in almost an instant as if in fast forward, arrived at the Black Legion fleet, and even directly hit the flagship of the New Spirit of Vengeance.

The battleship was shattered, and only Ahriman and Luperzi's group were safe on the command deck.

But then the broken battleship quickly recovered and then ran very far backwards.

The originally broken ship was restored to normal, and the crew members who had died in the collision disaster were also repaired. They were on standby far, far away from the Black Legion fleet.

All of this happened in a very short period of time. Ahriman and his crew and the battleship seemed to be accelerated hundreds of times, while the Black Legion fleet, the New Spirit of Vengeance, was still at the same speed as before.

The latter is naturally hard to guard against.
