Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

"grown ups……"

Only the Gray Knight's laboratory was left, and Golden looked at Calvin who was still trying to stop talking.

"Is something wrong?" Calvin turned around after watching Stovan leave, but there was nothing on his open left hand.

"Um...it's okay." Golden blinked, doubting his own eyes.

After leaving the experimental area, Calvin returned to his residence despite Golden's strange eyes, without mentioning the experimental area the whole time.

Golden was really holding back a lot, but due to the "no rights without being informed" discipline among the Gray Knights, he had no choice but to plan to verify his memory with Tarik next to him after the rotation was over. .

The way back seemed extremely short due to his thoughts. After waving the guard captain out of the room with a "curious" face, Calvin could finally be alone.

After passing through the quiet office, Calvin pushed open the side door of the room and came to his exclusive equipment showroom.

Here are placed the trophies of the original body's previous wars, as well as some spare parts of power armor and very useful weapons and equipment.

Calvin came to the center of the room and sat on the chair specially made for him. He looked at the possessions accumulated over decades and took a deep breath. Then he slowly closed his eyes and raised his left hand.

The will is splitting the waves of the subconscious and sinking continuously until it touches the soul essence deep in one's own spirit.

The spirit continues to rise in reality, moving closer to the supreme heaven behind the barriers of the transcendent world.

Blocks that looked like natural chasms in the eyes of psychics were easily broken through, and the transcendent vision of the divine soul came to reality again.

Calvin opened his "eyes" and searched in his soul. He first "saw" a sword-shaped imprint, which was the link between "Imperial Truth" and Calvin.

With it, Calvin doesn't need to worry about losing the sword. The sword can even be summoned within a certain range during combat.

And this engraving is not complete yet. Based on Calvin's understanding and cognition of the real name and his own inscription system, this engraving is only in its initial state.

It should have more capabilities, but they will only appear if other parts are completed.

But this was not Calvin's goal this time. He tried to recall the last form of the Bell of Erebus he had seen.

As he locked onto his target, his vision shifted and at the end of a chain, a small but exquisite pocket watch appeared in his "vision".

That’s it!

Calvin concentrated his will on this pocket watch, and this uninvited guest also revealed part of its true appearance after receiving Calvin's call of will:

"The Bell of Erebus" and "The Rope of Helios".

The former is a key to a systematic project developed to defend against the gods in the Golden Age when humans were wary of subspace. It is currently in a disabled state and can only use basic functions.

But just this basic function was enough to surprise Calvin:

Its red pointer can capture the vision of the gods in subspace!

And for this kind of vision, after the time effect, make an accurate mark on the time when the gods' authority manifests in reality!

This is a countdown counter! And it’s a subspace-specific version!

This is really an unexpected surprise!

What worries Calvin most now? Isn't it just the attention of the evil gods in the subspace?

The Emperor's protection was limited. His main focus was still on suppressing the Webway, and it was impossible to answer Calvin's prayers every time.

Ophelia's situation is the result of countless years of accumulation of faith on her planet, and has its own special conditions that cannot be repeated.

The reason why the battle to kill Kotos was successfully completed was because of the geographical location of the battlefield right at the door of Terra.

Calvin cannot expect that every time he fights the warp, the Emperor will be behind him to shield him from the eyes of the gods.

The appearance of the Bell of Erebus just solved his most pressing problem at the moment!

You must know that the essence of gods is also an existence. Although they have transcended time, as long as they still want to maintain themselves in this universe, they still have to abide by the rules here.

This is especially true for time, the biggest rule in the real universe!

It may indeed be unable to influence the gods, let alone restrain the existence of the gods with the short and pitiful life cycle of the mortal world.

But time is also the fairest rule.

Its existence itself will make gods, whose basic time scale is billions of years, naturally unable to grasp the time of mortals keenly.

This gave Calvin a huge opportunity!

He can completely intervene in reality and destiny on some key events, taking advantage of the time lag before the gods can react!

And only he can do this kind of thing!

Because although the gods do not have precise control over time, they can also rely on their power to overturn the existing destiny after the fact.

But who is Calvin? He is an outsider! His own soul, which is equivalent to the gods, has its essence reflected in the timeline, and is an existence similar to the hub.

As long as there are traces of his interference in anything, it can only maintain its current destiny.

Before the gods really find his heel, they are destined not to be able to subvert the things under his influence at any time level!

Then this is interesting.

Calvin looked at the Bell of Erebus in front of him and couldn't help but start imagining the future scene:

With the help of this timer, Calvin can be like a mole on the timeline, stepping on the moment when the gods fail to react every time, turning the fate of the universe in a direction that is beneficial to mankind.

Although this still cannot solve the threat to him from the gods, it is the best situation for him, an outsider who still needs to hide from the gods at this stage.

"Take your time, if you play like this, I have a lot of patience..."

Calvin pulled his gaze away from the Bell of Erebus and turned to the chain tied to the end of the clock.

The Rope of Helios, as the name suggests, is a fragment of the "Helios Chariot" project of the same name built by the golden humans on the eve of their ascension to defend against the subspace gods.

Calvin had no way of knowing its power, and there was no information about it in the existing fragment that he could sense.

However, just because of the sheer size and cost of material resources of this project, it still took centuries to complete, and it was planned to be destroyed by the gods before humans could ascend.

Calvin can know that this thing called "Helios Chariot" is definitely a murder weapon that can truly pose a threat to the gods.

But unfortunately it has been broken, and according to the information Calvin learned from this fragment, it was broken quite completely.

According to this fragment's record of that war, at least one-third of the "Helios Chariot" was destroyed forever, and except for a few scattered in the universe, most of the remaining parts It has been lost in the depths of subspace and has become the treasure of the gods.

But this does not mean that it has no value. At least when Calvin absorbed this memory, there were several fragments of the fallen "Helios Chariot", all of which shocked Calvin. , the coveted power!

But again, it was so broken that Calvin couldn't help but doubt himself. Can he restore this huge project to even one ten thousandth of the progress in his lifetime?

"Is love a chain mission? I just don't know if I have the life to do it..." Calvin complained heavily in his heart.

And in response to his call, in reality, a silver chain appeared out of nowhere in his palm.
