Warhammer: I don’t want to be a can of worms! ! !

Chapter 384 373. Try it once

Magnus woke up from a dry feeling of powerlessness. When he woke up, he felt an inexplicable throbbing - it was the connection with the Thousand Sons. He seemed to hear the children being killed before they died. The wail of the guardian spirit taking possession of the body.

The Primarch struggled to sit up, and then he became aware of the ever-present, anxious footsteps. Magnus coughed dryly and tried to say something, but he was stopped.

"Quiet, Magnus."

There was a sound in his ears, and Magnus realized that the watcher was close to him, that Hades was in the cell.

The relaxed and nonchalant attitude that characterized his everyday speech was gone, replaced by emotionless words that reminded Magnus of the unvarnished words of the Magus Mechanicus.

"I was wrong before, Magnus. You are His mark. Unless I destroy your soul, I can't eliminate His surveillance here."

Magnus heard the scream of the blade cutting across the ground. His muscles tensed. He wanted to do something, but felt that there was nothing he could do. He was played by Chaos. His Thousand Sons and Prosper Luo also disappeared.

"That is to say, He heard the conversation I had with you before - and He wanted to end this matter, and He did not hesitate to use your words. Is this a warning, or is it a joke?"

This sentence was said very softly, more like Hades talking to himself,

"What's more terrible is that I think the emperor also agrees with the opposite view. He saw something in Prospero, which may have changed his mind. I should go to a more important occasion instead of guarding an abandoned son. "

The anxious footsteps sounded again, and you could never tell whether Tzeentch wanted you to stop doing this, or whether he wanted you to continue doing it.

After a long time, the footsteps stopped, and Hades seemed to be squatting next to Magnus, who was half-sitting against the wall.

"Let me tell you a story, Magnus. This is my last ditch effort."

He said that the sickle pole made a scraping sound on the ground,

"There used to be an unlucky guy like you, who was attracted to you from the beginning, but the one who was attracted to him was different from the one who was attracted to you. He was unlucky all the time. On the established destiny line, he wanted to do what he wanted to do. All the great things that were accomplished failed.”

Hades' voice paused,

"Look, on the contrary, you should have had a smooth journey - it's a pity that you met me."

"But then he changed his destiny. On the one hand, he did change a lot of his bad temper. On the other hand... I am not boasting. Someone also needs to cut off the waves of subspace in order to make major changes - —”

【...You changed his fate? 】

Magnus's voice was trembling. He listened to Hades' silence for a moment.

"Yes, a soulless person is best suited to do this kind of thing, isn't it? Rather than using spiritual energy to carefully entangle with various waves of fate, it is better to cut them off directly, but unfortunately this requires a soulless person with sufficient abilities."

[Are you the only one who can do this? 】

"yes."

Magnus was silent;

[Did you just say Mortarion? He was also...also...]

"Hush, hush, Magnus."

Hades said,

"So you are the luckiest of the unfortunate, Magnus."

Magnus thought of Mortarion's unique aura of death and his morbid behavior. It was difficult to imagine what Mortarion had experienced in the past.

"It's not just you, it's not just him."

Hades murmured,

"I have also witnessed an entire legion being on the verge of extinction, and a man whose heirs were trapped in a pool of blood, unable to escape his fate. He is currently... far away from his destined destiny."

【...Angron? 】

Hades was silent,

"You should have seen the device on his head, so I say you are lucky."

Magnus was silent as if dead. For a long time, he asked slightly,

[You originally... came to help me get rid of... those things? 】

"perhaps."

Hades said,

"But you are different from them. Even in the most critical moments, their souls did not surrender for a moment. Magnus, you know what I am referring to."

Magnus had given part of his soul to Tzeentch from the very beginning. What he faced was not a cruel curse, but lies wrapped in honey.

【Then...can I still...? 】

He opened his mouth in vain, it was just inertia,

"Don't think about that, Magnus."

Cold words rang in his ears. Hades' previous methods were to isolate the gaze of the subspace, and then try to do something consistent with physics and psychology, but Magnus's situation destined that he would never be able to completely Separate subspace.

"Accept the cruel reality and atone for your sins. Magnus, this is my most sincere advice to you. Just do what the Emperor orders you to do and don't think about anything else."

Magnus tried to pull out a cracked wry smile at the corner of his mouth to prove that he was indeed numb, numb enough to accept it all, but he could only feel blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

[...My story has ended from the beginning, right? 】

Hades stood up and paced the small cell again irritably. This was what he hated about Tzeentch. When killing the opponent cannot be the solution, you have to think of other methods, but no matter what they are All plans will fall into the calculation of the Lord of Changes.

Judging from the Emperor's attitude, Hades estimated that he wanted to use Magnus as a one-time bomb and throw it out to explode the pony at a critical moment, but the question is, is this reliable?

Hades originally thought that this would be fine, but he realized that Magnus himself already had a bit of Tzeentch's color, and this was a gamble.

And he couldn't confirm whether Magnus was a decoy or the real key point, because the anchor point of Prospero had been removed, and Magnus's biggest turning point for fate had passed.

The Emperor obviously had this consideration. In fact, he had already summoned Hades to leave. This was the last day that Hades would guard Magnus.

"Okay, let me try one last time... Magnus, are you willing to make a futile attempt?"

Hades saw Magnus raising his hands in vain,

[Is this the Emperor's order? 】

Hades had no expression on his face. He turned on the channel and raised the volume.

"Emperor, I want to beat Magnus."

"Go ahead."

The other end of the channel disconnected indifferently, and Magnus looked like he was going to scream silently again.

"Now it is."

Hades said calmly,

"Next you have to cooperate with me."

[Cooperate with you to beat me? ! ]

"Yes and no."

Hades said,

"Now... you have to hand over the authority of your soul to a soulless person."

Before Magnus opened his mouth to respond, the black domain surged up.

——————

Magnus screamed and rolled in the sea of ​​​​spiritual consciousness. He desperately ran away. He didn't want that kind of thing to touch him! ! !

But he was too weak. The Emperor's psychic suppression and the fall of the Thousand Sons greatly weakened the light of Magnus's soul. In the past, he could have left directly and left the cursed thing far behind.

He watched the monster swallow him up, like a swarm of insects crawling on his skin, like falling into a bottomless stinking swamp. His soul was worse off than death, and the flames far hotter than the fire of hell burned his soul.

He subconsciously resisted, but heard roars from afar,

"Magnus - hold on! Malcador is better than you!"

Magnus suddenly remembered why he was here, and what that stinking cursed thing was, he might as well die!

[Knock me out, stay away from me! ]

"I want to knock you out!"

Then Magnus saw the blue in front of his eyes - there - he remembered! The gorgeous waves of the vast ocean seemed to be just yesterday, at the top of the Great Pyramid of Prospero, the mighty of the warp walked down the altar and signed a contract with him.

The darkness twisted and tried to penetrate the depths of his soul.

A scream sounded from the depths of his soul, and he saw Prospero burning. People's souls were burning, providing him with strength.

The darkness and the sickle stabbed at him together, and the strange light suddenly exploded! After a moment of dazzling light, everything returned to its original position, as if nothing had changed.

Then Magnus heard the sound of falling to the ground, and then the sound of retching. The waves of powerlessness began to recede, and he slowly grasped the boundary of the physical world again.

He smelled blood, but it was not his.

[… Success? ]

He asked tremblingly,

"Failed."

Hades silently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He was worthy of being Tzeentch, and worthy of being the Primarch of the Psychic System. Hades felt that the mark Tzeentch buried in Magnus' body was stronger than the psychic energy of an entire planet, and Magnus's soul itself resisted him... It was still too hasty, and he was anxious.

In the distance, the Emperor's hand, which was pondering the map, paused slightly.

"So the fireworks are here." He said softly. No wonder, at the same time, the Emperor opened the channel. "Don't waste your energy, Hades." Hades took a deep breath. "It's still a little useful..." He whispered, looking at Magnus. "I finally tore a small hole in your soul, Magnus... Don't try to heal it, it marks the location of Him, do you understand me?" [... I will stay away from there. ] Magnus said weakly, as if he was still immersed in the dizziness brought to him by the Black Domain just now, although Hades tried his best not to hurt him... The damage was not great, and the nausea was very strong. Hades frowned. "I mean, if you feel that there is something wrong with that piece, go to the Emperor or Malcador immediately." This can be regarded as giving Magnus an early warning ability, but in a sense it also facilitates Magnus to communicate with Tzeentch---But as long as Magnus wants, Tzeentch can also communicate with Magnus without obstacles, so it can be regarded as giving Magnus a self-alert function. The channel made a hissing sound of electricity. Haddish paused, and then a brisk voice sounded.

"Well, I have to go in the end."

As if nothing had happened just now,

"I wish you a happy life in prison, Magnus, don't let your imagination run wild and think of heresy."

"Reform yourself as soon as possible, be a new person, listen to the Emperor, don't mess around, maybe you will be able to turn over a new leaf in ten thousand years."

The sound of the iron bars opening, followed by footsteps, the sound of the door closing, and the sound of armor joints colliding.

Magnus smelled the blood in the cell, and for the rest of his remaining years, he would realize that this was what he heard, a final word that blessed him and contained even a hint of trust.

He surveyed the soul, and he stared at Him as He had been silently staring at him before.

Magnus finally settled into the quiet years he had always dreamed of.
