Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

After being killed, Typhons's body floated, and the powerful psychic energy from Ahriman read all the information contained in this body.

This is not a psychic ability like mind reading, but a direct look at what this body is doing in the web of fate.

Ahriman saw Typhons's end, his reshaping, and his future reshaping and end, continuing forever, until the god he most admired deemed him of no value.

And Typhons has already become a part of Nurgle's power. Just like those demons, he can be reshaped even if he is completely destroyed, because this process is not to resurrect the dead, but to create another one. A new person in the identity of a deceased person.

The name Typhons has ceased to be a person's name since his second death, but has become the code name of Plague Herald.

Of course, Ahriman also found what he wanted to find in Typhons' past and future.

"Over there."

Ahriman gently waved his palm, and Typhons's body was swept aside by psychic energy.

Then an illusory passage shaped by psychic energy appeared directly in front of Ahriman and his party.

The wizard took the Sons of Horus and the Thousand Sons Scarlet Warriors into the illusory passage and arrived at the bottom engine room of the New Vengeful Spirit.

Before entering the passage, Ahriman and his party saw many enemies waiting in the engine room at the final point of the passage.

There are countless demon engines, and there are many creations that look like mutated demon iron men scattered in the engine room.

Of course, there is also their owner - Vashtor.

Typhonse helped his ally delay a little while so that Vashtor could prepare to meet Ahriman again.

The Lord of the Forge is not too afraid of this Chaos Wizard who thinks he is not a lackey of the Four Gods, but he is worried that this wizard's powerful spiritual energy will destroy his most important artifact when it evaporates.

The preparation he had just made was to place the artifact called Tuchucha Engine where it would not be affected by the battle.

Now, Vashtor can fight without any worries.

Ahriman and his party, who had just walked through the channel shaped by psychic energy, and Vashtor, who had laid a dragnet in the engine room, were facing each other and observing. Since neither of them knew the details of the other party, neither party acted rashly now. Start killing.

"Professor Ahriman, if you come to me to seek knowledge, then we should sit down and talk." Vashtor looked at the wizard in front of him up and down. He knew a little bit about the wizard's story, so he didn't know it yet. As for the attacker, we don’t even know who this attacker is.

And Ahriman looked at Vashtor, and he knew Vashtor far better than Vashtor knew himself.

He knew that Vashtor was a lesser god.

He also knew that he was not without the power to fight against this secondary god.

"I did not come to you to seek knowledge, because I have no interest in those evil arts that rely on demons and witchcraft." Ahriman said, glancing at the many demon engines present, "I came here hoping to indirectly find to knowledge.”

"indirect?"

"Yes, looking for it indirectly. You have the springboard I need here."

Ahriman came for the three artifacts, and his ultimate goal was to use the ancient holy relics composed of the three artifacts to open a path to the Black Library in the Webway, and then obtain the endless knowledge in the Black Library.

But there was no need for Ahriman to tell Vashtor about this purpose. He was just stalling for time with topics that the other party was interested in.

Ahriman's spiritual energy was continuously infiltrating the entire battleship and the space where the entire battleship was located. He could directly feel the existence of the three artifacts, but he also needed to feel where the three artifacts were now.

Luperzi on the side could also guess Ahriman's thoughts, but what he didn't understand was why Vashtor was so cooperative?

Ahriman was also puzzled by this, but he showed no doubt on the surface.

"Or we can cooperate." Vashtor slowly spread his arms, "As creatures that inhabit the Eye of Terror, we suffered a huge failure on Broome, and the entire Eye of Terror may be closed. , then we will have no choice but to go to the Maelstrom.”

"And with the Eye of Terror closed, it's not just us who are affected."

"If the rift opened by this subspace in the real universe is completely closed, it will only be the emotional resonance caused by mortals, just a small ritual, just... it will no longer be able to allow a demon to cross the veil and descend into the real universe. Psyker Their numbers will be greatly reduced, and the power that psykers like you can exert will no longer be as powerful as before."

Vashtor made a great point.

It actually makes sense to others. For example, those in the Black Legion think it makes sense.

But it made no sense to Ahriman.

"You are right, but all I care about is knowledge." The wizard explored the location of the three artifacts on the battleship, "How did you get the three artifacts?"

"I got it when the Plague War was going on." Vashtor answered the question honestly. "A good helper helped me get the Ouroboros, the Tuchucha Engine, and the Heart of the Plague. In your opinion, this Maybe it was an incredible stroke of luck, but it seemed pretty easy to me.”

Hearing Vashtor say a helper, Ahriman frowned slightly on his face under his horned helmet: "Help? Who?"

"A man who was once favored by the dark gods." Vashtor replied, "The reason why I tell you so much is because I want to wait for him to come."

As soon as he finished speaking, a vortex spread out in the engine room.

Then heavy footsteps were heard in the vortex, and a huge and strong demon stepped out of it.

It was impossible for a wise man like Ahriman to fail to discern the origin of this demon.

This demon is not a lackey servant of any of the dark gods, and its origins are shrouded in mystery.

Some claim that it was the first mortal to pledge allegiance to the Dark Gods, and thus gained unimaginable power.

This demon is none other than the Demon Prince Belak.

"Vashtor is waiting for me, what are you waiting for!" Bilak rushed out of the vortex with great momentum, spread his wings, and slashed Ahriman's shoulder with his sword.

Luperzit raised his sword to block the attack of the Demon Prince, then looked back at Ahriman, asking him with his eyes whether he hadn't expected Belak's arrival?

Ahriman certainly didn't expect it. He didn't even know when Vashtor and Be'lak had colluded.

However, Ahriman was not afraid of this demon prince who had been abandoned by the dark gods. His body flashed behind Luperzi, brewing up terrifying spiritual energy. In the early stages of the fight, he unleashed all the energy he could muster on Bilak. The strongest psychic attack.
