Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

Although Ahriman's explanation was not entirely credible to the clone masters, there was no other explanation.

If what he said was true... Horus simply couldn't imagine that the Lord of Tyrone was about to or was undergoing an ascension ceremony, and then told the latest situation in a very calm tone, not at all like he had just experienced something big.

"If he succeeds in becoming a god, will there be a god in the subspace who is willing to do something for mankind?" Horus suddenly asked.

"Of course not, father." Luperzi stared at the clone of his genetic father, "He will be distorted by the subspace itself, just like you ten thousand years ago."

Ahriman glanced at Luperzi and then at Horus.

He was a little confused as to why Horus asked such a childish question and was so stupid as to think that a warp god would stick to his heart.

However, Horus did not have naive expectations, he was just thinking about his father.

He once heard Qin Mo say that the emperor might become a god if he got down from the golden throne.

Horus thought more than once about the consequences if the Emperor became a god.

"Back to the current matter." Ahriman stopped pacing and stared at Horus. "We must find a way to dispel the reverberations of the Emperor and your true form to prevent the fierce battle between them from destroying us all."

"How do you plan to disperse them? Can we get even half a step closer to them?" Horus asked Ahriman, "I think the best way for us now is to wait until Lord Tyron has dealt with Vashtor and return to deal with this problem. side things."

"He can solve it, but whether he can arrive in time is a question." Ahriman shook his head slowly, and then took out a dagger from his waist, "I have a better idea. Magnus and I are together Use psychic energy to cover you, and then go over and use this dagger to disperse the reverberation of your body."

Looking at the dagger handed over by Ahriman, Horus frowned slightly.

Ahriman moved his fingers lightly, turned the dagger from the blade towards Horus to towards himself, and held out the handle: "Either you tell me honestly how you came here, and then how to take me out, in return. I saved you. Or you can work with me to find a way to dispel the reverberations of those two guys. Don't think that you are not afraid of the impact of psychic energy because you are clones of the original body."

"What is the use of this dagger?" Horus asked.

"It is an artifact born from the first resistance of the human species against wizards." Ahriman lowered his head and looked at the dagger, his eyes full of fear. "A human paid a heavy price and finally used this dagger to kill a wizard. tyrant."

Horus still didn't take the dagger, and he turned to look at Magnus.

Magnus closed his eyes and felt it, then nodded.

Horus then took the dagger and placed it on his waist.

Among the clone primarchs, only Guilliman felt that he should not listen to any words of the wizard Ahriman, but he did not say it out loud. On the one hand, some things still had to be discussed by the brothers alone, and on the other hand, He knew that his words could not change the judgment of others.

Due to the influence of memory, all the clone masters, except those who were already on good terms with Guilliman, were still wary of him.

This is not suspicion, but habitual vigilance based on memory.

Regardless of the reasons for Guilliman's original body or clones, they have to admit that it was difficult for them to avoid suspicion ten thousand years ago.

Others probably had this idea: Stay away from me, Guilliman. Don't splatter your blood on me when you're shot, you bastard of a state within a state.

"Everyone, please prepare." Ahriman turned to look at Luperzi, "Prepare some weapons and equipment for your cloned father and uncles."

Luperzi looked at Horus and then at the others, then took out an ancient treasure and poured out all the contents stored in its dimensional pocket.

Although Luperzi complied, it was because he saw that Horus agreed with Ahriman's plan, so he did so. He did not agree highly with Ahriman's plan.

It's not that I think Ahriman's plan is bad, but because I habitually feel that something will happen to Ahriman.

Just like when the two of them joined a gang to grab the Discord Engine, they were thrown into the webway by Vashtor and were confusedly involved in the battle on the iron ring.

Same as Luperzi.

Horus also didn't really agree with Ahriman's plan, but he quietly had his own plan in mind.

…

Before the operation officially began, Guilliman left the hiding place of the clone primarchs and Ahriman to explore where everyone was now.

He was used to doubting everything about Ahriman, a wizard, so he didn't think that Ahriman really couldn't find a way out of the iron ring before he found these clones.

He even wondered if this place was now in the pocket space of one of Ahriman's treasures.

However, after actual investigation, Guilliman discovered that everyone was indeed on the iron ring, but the reason Ahriman was able to hide in front of those Chaos warriors was because he deployed a ritual.

After the investigation, Guilliman returned the same way. When he was thinking about what was suspicious about Ahriman's words and deeds just now, a black shadow suddenly appeared in his peripheral vision. When he subconsciously turned his head to look at the black shadow, he saw A familiar figure arrived.

"Corax?" Guilliman was shocked.

The person in front of him was his clone brother, Corax, who did not participate in the Battle of the Iron Ring at all.

Corax looked at Guilliman, smiled, and walked out of the darkness carrying something.

When Guilliman saw clearly what Corax was carrying, he was stunned for a moment.

In Corax's hand was a human head, that of Fabius Bayer.

"I'm back, the mission is accomplished." Corax casually threw Fabius's head to the ground.

At the same time, behind Corax, another figure came out.

It was a very tall but slender figure, looking like a demon, with black feathers all over his body and wings folded behind his back.

The moment he saw the daemon, Guilliman recognized him as the true form of Corax.

"Why are you here?" Guilliman asked eagerly, "You..."

Clone Corax had no explanation because he had been through so much since the Battle of Broome.

"I chased Fabius to a planet that was shrunk by Ahriman's spiritual energy, until my body released me and lurked next to Ahriman until now." Corax looked at the body beside him. , "Don't tell others that you saw us, it will be detrimental to our next actions."

"Next action?" Guilliman asked, "You mean Ahriman's plan to dispel the reverberation of Horus's body?"

Corax nodded slowly: "I will sit down and explain some things to you later. Now I can only say that we are indirectly affected by our father, including Ahriman and Fabius. The mission of clones like us is not Just stay in the ring.”
