Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

"Opportunity?" Spier repeated Calvin's question, but his whole state began to show obvious sluggishness.

The long conversation allowed him to regain the logic of his thinking, but the thinking that followed was obviously a heavy burden for a being in a pure soul state without any source of energy.

The liquid metal is just a temporary body for his soul, and its role is only to maintain the current state.

As a mortal without psychic talent, maintaining thinking and communication in this state is probably the limit of what Spier can do.

"Yes! The opportunity, what made you..." Calvin, who was halfway through asking, also noticed something strange about Spier.

He restrained his desire to ask, because the silver light flowing on the surface of this human body made entirely of metal was getting darker and darker.

This is undoubtedly because Spier's soul is becoming weak from thinking, but Calvin has searched for his own strength, but there is no way to deal with this situation.

This is not a distortion like Chaos Taint, so the corrections of Order can do nothing about it.

This has nothing to do with the belonging of faith, so Calvin's salvation cannot improve his situation.

This is pure, spiritual weakness.

Facing this person who had no psychic talent but could miraculously survive, Calvin did not even dare to use ordinary psychic commands.

He could clearly feel that Spier's soul was like a candle in the wind.

The chaotic memory once again caused his sanity to collapse and he fell into ignorance, while the increasingly weak soul fire showed that this fragile soul was only one step away from permanent death.

Calvin could only watch quietly, unable to do anything. He could only pray that Speyer's will was strong enough to be able to single-handedly escape from the sleep of death again.

"It would be great if he still has a body." Such an idea suddenly appeared in Calvin's mind, but he dismissed this unrealistic idea in an instant.

Let’s not talk about whether there are any genetic samples left in Speyer. I just want to say that for a soul to regain control of a body, even his own body, it requires tremendous perseverance to break free from the instinct of the body.

But the existence of the body is necessary, and only the real body is the habitat of these fragile mortal souls.

Only the body of flesh and blood can support the thinking and activities of the soul, so that these fragile existences can survive for a long time.

Calvin waited and thought quietly, and time passed by unconsciously. After an unknown amount of time, Spier's voice sounded again.

"Opportunity..."

Calvin raised his head, and the eyes of Speyer in front of him were once again occupied by reason. His soul became weaker, but after experiencing another awakening from chaos, his will also became purer.

This sourceless soul fire burned itself quietly in front of Calvin.

And after relying on his own will to abandon memories that had nothing to do with his core will and break through the chaos again, Speyer's eyes were even more humane and wise than before.

"Do you remember?" Calvin's tone also became gentler, as if he was talking to a close friend he hadn't seen for a long time.

At this time, Spier deserves his respect, because at this time, he is no longer a lost disciple who just woke up, but the real master of the North Wind God.

"I remember...I remember a lot, but I also forgot a lot."

A human smile appeared on the silver metal face, and the originally dry voice became magnetic.

"But forgetting sometimes makes people feel relaxed, and it also makes people think about their needs and become pure."

Calvin was a little shocked by Speyer's words. This was the first time he had seen such a transcendent mortal.

He did not see hatred in the eyes of this man who grew up ten thousand years ago, but saw a more pure and rational gaze after experiencing suffering.

"You don't hate him?" Calvin asked uncontrollably, because in today's empire, there are very few people who are not driven by hatred.

"Hate? Yes, you have. People are always like this. No matter how much trust you have given to worship, you will have hatred when you are betrayed." Spier's eyes had some memories, but more of them were firm. .

"what about now?"

"Now?" Spier thought for a moment, and then said to Calvin:

"Death and ignorance are disintegrating my soul, and I must know what I believe most, and then go through all my memories to find the core of myself."

"What do you believe?" Calvin asked.

"I...believe...hope, I believe...humanity should have a better future. I believe that the empire should not be what it is now, and humans should not be blinded by the hatred in front of them, let alone fight for revenge. I believe Even if the Emperor is gone, his spirit will continue to guide us!"

Spier spoke faster and faster, and the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.

Even though this soul is weak, it can be blown away by any gust of wind.

But because he rediscovered and established his ideals, he became stronger than ever.

"I believe - the truth of the Empire!"

"Even if the gods have confirmed their existence?" Calvin spread his palms, and the glimmer of spiritual energy danced in his palms.

"I still believe it!" Spier blinked and said:

"We respect the facts. If God proves their existence, we will recognize them, but this will not hinder our struggle, let alone give up ourselves and seek their asylum!"

"No fear, no belief, no blind obedience?"

"Don't be afraid, don't believe, don't blindly follow!"

"Even if you die?"

"Even if you die!"

call! Calvin exhaled a long breath. The man in front of him really made him feel mixed emotions.

The light of reason is so rare and precious in this empire, and the soul in front of you is blooming the brightest light because of this.

This is a man who has returned from death of his own volition, a man who has endured the most severe trials.

His will has become one with his vision, and he has become a being that even Calvin would envy. The entire weight of his life is supported by that pure ideal, without any hesitation or hesitation.

This is his comrade! This is him, even the Emperor's companion on the road to the realization of his ideals!

He deserves to be saved because he deserves to be given greater responsibilities!

Calvin no longer thinks about the original purpose of his trip, because there will be no more important gains than him in this trip!

On the contrary, how to continue this precious soul is his most urgent desire now!

"I roughly know what you want, it's down there." Speyer said, pointing to a lava ocean outside Titan and within the crater.

"Did you find out?" Calvin was a little embarrassed, but more of a sense of urgency.

"It's not difficult..." Spier winked at him, then smiled and said:

"Go on... don't waste any more time for me. I guess you must be very busy, someone I have never seen before... Lord Primarch."
