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

Chapter 476 3

There is a message on the wind.

The Wolf King raised his head and sniffed hard. The short summer in Fenris carried a putrid smell, which was the smell of corpses rotting under the frozen soil.

[...Winter is coming. 】

Russ said, frowning and staring at the wolf moon. Its cold edge told the wolf king that a new storm was coming.

【unlucky,】

The Wolf King whispered to himself,

[Why is this summer so short...eight hours? No, nine hours. 】

At the end of his sight, at the edge of the slowly drifting land, Leman Russ saw the rising wind and snow. The blizzard would hinder his journey, so he no longer hesitated and immediately set off with his howling wolves.

The wind and snow surged.

————————

【right here? 】

The Wolf King was silent. They had already arrived at their destination. The Gate of Sirtir was there. It looked like an ordinary volcanic fissure. A simple altar made of skulls stood beside the mouth of this narrow crevice. rise.

His rune priests walked over silently, some of them were very old, so old that Beerus was even familiar with this mysterious land. The Wolf King did not understand the stories of psychic powers, so he allowed his heirs to They started chanting mantras.

In a song and dance of staffs and spells, the rift opened.

The strong sulfur smell next to the crater hit the Wolf King's nose directly. Ruth's expression remained unchanged. He stared at the crack and touched his waist——

He took out the remaining half bottle of mead and drank it in one gulp.

[Hiccup,] Ruth said, [Okay, my Talisman priests, can I go down? 】

In his hazy vision, the priest wearing an ignorant mask walked towards him.

"My Lord, Lord of Winter and War,"

He said that the sun in Fenris rose to its highest point behind him, staring at him like a giant eye. In a daze, Leman Russ saw the dark shadow flashing past the edge of the eternal sun.

"It's the summer solstice now, and this year's summer is extremely short - so there won't be much time left for you. You need to end your journey in the lower world as soon as possible. You can drink their wine and talk to them, but you can't eat what they eat. Try to avoid answering their questions when offering fruits and meat, even the most lawful spirits like to play tricks on others.”

"According to the laws of winter, you will get what you want, but you also need to pay the price."

As the priest spoke, he slowly made way for the Wolf King. He stepped into the land of fire and cold winter, and heard the priest's last words in his ears,

"You don't have enough time, please be sure to return to the human world before the summer sinks."

————————

Magnus took a loud, deep breath and stood up unsteadily, his head spinning.

[So, what should I...what should I do? 】

Magnus trembled, and he touched his neck subconsciously. The heavy senses on it reminded him of the fact all the time.

【No……】

Magnus said softly, "What else can I do?" 】

If the shackles were lifted, Magnus was sure that he could recover half of his psychic power in a short time, but without rituals or sacrifices, it would be a bit difficult for him to shake the current situation...

Magnus mused that the current Lord of Change wished to lead "him" into the Webway, and Magnus needed to stop this.

He had had a glimpse of the Emperor's sea of ​​knowledge, and Magnus knew Humanity the moment he saw the Webway, and the Emperor could not lose it.

But...how could he stop this?

[Fenris, can you destroy the Webway? 】

The planet was silent, denying Magnus' question.

+…You still don’t understand Him. +

The cold wind whimpers,

+ It was not the webway here that attracted him - it was fate, and he was unwilling to give up the bet he had made, Magnus. +

Blind Magnus opened his mouth,

【I? 】

He said in disbelief as more terrifying thoughts slowly flowed into his brain.

Magnus thought about the prophecy he saw at the Nicaea meeting. If he was controlled and monitored at that time, then——

Magnus' voice was out of tune;

[He knows that I know His thoughts, and also knows that I will stop Him? ! 】

ah? !

Magnus thought of the images in the prophecy that day, the howling cold wind, the blizzard, the well-intentioned subspace existence that resonated with him, he stood in the blizzard, he shouted those spells, and finally, Leman Russ angrily Rushing towards him.

It was now clear to him that the good warp being was Fenris.

【--I am right! There are friendly beings in the subspace! 】

Magnus shouted, he spread his arms, trying to prove to those who had defended him, but what could it prove?

And now, what about Magnus, the prisoner who can't be believed?

He doesn't even have enough psychic powers to reverse this!

Magnus clenched his teeth subconsciously, realizing that the Lord of Change had calculated all this.

Magnus, he asked himself deep in his heart, trying to find a breaking point,

First of all, he is monitored by the Lord of Change.

He is monitored by the Lord of Change.

Magnus thought as he looked into his soul, and next to that small dark crack, he saw a part of what he had paid to the Lord of Change.

He is the one who is controlled by all changes.

Secondly, Magnus knows part of the future, and he will join forces with Fenris to launch a spell to try to stop the Lord of Change.

He could probably deduce the future direction. He teamed up with Fenris to stop the Lord of Changes - and then was interrupted by the Wolf King who didn't know the truth. The ritual would fail or succeed.

Even if Magnus explained it to Leman Russ, the Wolf King would not believe him.

As for Fenris...

[Soul of Fenris, will you tell Leman Russ that I am right? 】

+Child, I'm sorry, even the coldest winter can't turn around a living heart. +

Fenris vetoed the possibility that it could convert Leman Russ.

In other words, Magnus thought that the final change and fate would be tied between him and Leman Russ.

This is a dynamic, changing, and unpredictable ending.

The endgame can only be between him and Leman Russ.

Magnus told himself.

He thought that at the same time, Magnus stared hard at the scar on his soul - the warning from the [Jailer].

Magnus stretched out his hand, and he touched the white cloth tied to his eyes. There was nothing there. One of his two eyeballs made a deal with the Lord of Change, and the other was handed over to The Emperor - but now, that eye is on Leman Russ.

【Soul of Fenris,】

Magnus paused;

[Can you ensure that your heir, Leman Russ, will never fall? 】

+ As long as my beloved eldest son never leaves his homeland, my blessing will never leave. +

Magnus smiled deep inside, even Leman Russ! He laughed in his heart that even though the Emperor liked the child, he still had the possibility of being corrupted!

But at least Leman Russ won't fall now, that's enough.

Magnus thought that before he could reach the end, Leman Russ must remain pure.

So... Next is the last question,

[Can you protect my soul? 】

Magnus asked, and no doubt he received a negative answer,

+...One end of your lifeline has submerged into His realm, and there is nothing I can do, child. +

[Then you dare to entrust your trust to me? 】

Fenris was silent. After a long time, the planet answered Magnus again,

+The other end of your lifeline is still in your own hands. You are the person chosen by the cold winter. +

[So what if I seek refuge from “that being”? 】

+ Magnus, one end of your lifeline is no longer in your hands... Although the [Dead One] can indeed disrupt our judgment of the future, this is the key to our winning the future... He is teasing the [Dead One] Not as omniscient as you think. +

As if comforting Magnus, the spirit of Fenris has not been silenced.

+His fifteenth son, your soul is as sincere as your appearance. You don’t need to fear that one end of your lifeline is submerged in the strange light. Hold on tightly to the other end, you are still as sincere. +

……enough.

Magnus thought... He didn't know exactly where Fenris saw... but whether its vision was short-sighted or far-sighted, it was enough.

he! Magnus - will decide his own destiny!

Decide - what kind of person he will become!

Magnus' thoughts touched the [Warden] for the last time, and he trembled without any trace.

…

In the cell, the scarlet sinner leaning against the wall moved.

Fenris told him that the will of the planet will hinder the battle on the other side. At the same time, in the next time, a series of accidents will happen to assist the Scarlet Sinner in his escape.

Magnus rubbed his stiff shoulders, and sure enough, he touched a collar that had been chewed off by a wild beast.

The little beast slid down beside him, and Magnus heard the retreating footsteps of his captor, the Space Wolf.

alright,

Magnus thought with pride that it was time for him, Magnus, to take back all this, and let those who looked down on him see the real Magnus!

Magnus took a deep breath. He suppressed the feeling of vomiting and nausea that silently came up in him. He looked into his soul, and he saw that corner——

Magnus thought to himself,

[The great Lord of all changes! 】

he shouted,

[The great Lord of Change—I, Magnus, hopes to sacrifice the death of Leman Russ and all of Fenris in exchange for power, knowledge, and freedom. 】

[I will faithfully complete the contents of the prophecy - but I hope to obtain enough power to defeat Leman Russ in advance. 】

[At the last moment of what I see in the future, when Fenris entrusts all its power to me, I will dedicate it to you along with the heart of Leman Russ. At the moment of tribute, I hope to get what I wish for. 】

Without any doubt, Magnus heard a scream of surprise. He felt light feathers brushing against him, and the psychic energy in his body immediately began to become abundant.

The power given by the Lord of Change is restrained, which ensures that he will not be discovered by Fenris. What's more, Magnus thought that his destiny has already entered the Changeable Sky!

A book that is already dirty - if it were a little bit dirtier, not many people would notice it!

He took a deep breath, surprised and excited to feel the strength returning. Magnus stood up, and slowly, with relief, took off his shackles.

Damn it, Leman Russ.

Magnus chuckled as he recalled the Wolf King's rude and disrespectful behavior towards him.

Under his naked feet, the blood-stained shackles fell to the ground.

The Scarlet Sinner stepped out of his cell.

Great!
