Warhammer Inquisitor

Chapter 414 The Expedition Road: Betrayal or Loyalty

Night has fallen on the red land, and darkness is shrouded in this desolate land between the mountains and the broken valleys, on the red desert, but tonight is destined to be not peaceful, because in the sky, restless The fire didn't stop.

The raging flames burned in the sky, and the entire night sky was lit by fire, and those flashes continuously illuminated the entire land, shining everything here under the fierce battle above the orbit, where the wreckage of the battleship It fell into the atmosphere from the outer orbit of the planet, and the shattered hull turned into countless fragments and scattered to the earth.

Vito leaned on a rock, looked up at a piece of falling bolide above his head, the sky full of fire fragments slid across the sky of the whole world, and the long tail of fire pulled out a straight and dense fire net at the end, They weave through the air, forming a distinct path of fire.

The firelight from the sky shone on Vito's body, and also lit up the desolate rocks around him. His face flashed in the light, then quickly faded to dim, and then was illuminated again, repeating itself, just like the whole world Same.

"The battle on the orbit should be coming to an end soon. Iriou said that the Chaos Fleet is withdrawing from the planet, and these unlucky ones falling now should be the last batch."

Iyana's voice sounded in my ears, Vito smiled and lowered his head, he pulled out the key of the medieval world from his pocket with his elbow, "Your communication is still faster than ours, because the electromagnetic interference of the explosion , Reina or Speyer haven't contacted me yet."

"Although our race is also in a half-dead state, anyway, we are still the eldest sons of the ancient sages, aren't we?" Yi Yangna walked out from Vito's side. She walked out of the shadow between the red rocks and stood with her hands behind her back. Under the light of the firelight.

Vito glanced at her, then raised the key in his hand so that it could be seen more clearly under the firelight, "So, did you tell him that you found this thing? And, are you going to take it back? "

Iyana stared at Vito, then stood beside him with her hands behind her back, looking up at a huge piece of wreckage that fell from the top of her head. The air of outdated flames disturbed her hair, causing the crimson hair to dance wildly in the wind.

The flames illuminated Iyana's face and Vito's nearby, but the shadows fell over them again as the wreckage fell to the ground with a heavy explosion.

"No, I told him that the artifact wasn't there, it was just a trap left by the Old Sage, it was specially used to deal with tomb robbers, and there was nothing in it except for various deadly organs."

Iyana spoke calmly, and Vito on the side smiled silently. He shook the key in his hand and watched the thing swaying left and right under the firelight, "You lied to me, why keep this secret? ? Let me have a tryst with your sister Helen at any time?"

"First, Helen won't have a tryst with you. Second, I don't care about those dirty thoughts in your mind, you old pervert. Third, I have my own reasons."

Iyana said with the same accent as Vito, and it sounded like Vito thought he was talking to him, but he didn't say anything, just leaned against the firelight holding the key.

Fireballs pouring down from the sky passed over their heads, outlining a long line of beautiful flames in the sky, while Iyana stood under all of them, her rose red eyes looked up at the sky, shining a flame of flash.

"The Old Sages chose to believe in you, Vito, they handed over this key to you by name, and the whole new world, this is a great trust, my father believed in you, so I also believe in His choose."

"What? You chose to leave this thing to me just because of the prophecy of a guy you have never met?" Vito smiled and shook the key, and the key hanging in the air kept shaking the reflection under the flames. Projected onto Vito's face, shadows flickered across his face.

Iyana glanced at him, and then smiled in a low voice, the voice was as ethereal as a wind chime in the night, "No, I didn't believe it entirely because of the prophecies of the Old Ones, and I'm not those pious God stick, Adalad might, but I won't."

Although Vito wanted to say that the words Adalad and Piety have nothing to do with each other, this guy’s daily behavior is more heresy than heresy, and Chaos can call it too chaotic, but well, he doesn’t want to fight Cut off Iyana.

"I believe you because I know you, old pervert, you are an idiot who will never be reliable, but, hum, I know you, and maybe I am one of the people who know you best in this universe."

Under the firelight, Iyana smiled with the corners of her mouth slightly curled up, and Vito next to him also leaned his head on the rock with a smile, looking up at the fire rain above his head and smiling.

"At least it can be ranked in the top three. Before this is the Emperor, Lily." Vito said, he seemed to subconsciously rank the Emperor first, that old bastard, but it is true, On the Emperor's side, maybe Vito can also be ranked first. After all, they have known each other for 50,000 years as "good brothers", so it's hard to say that they don't know each other well.

Yiyangna was still smiling, and she nodded slightly with her hands behind her back, "Should I say it's an honor? It's an honor to be in line with these two, two gods, and I'm just a mortal."

"The girl I brought out, I don't think she can be considered a mortal, right?" Vito smiled on the side, while gently touching the key in front of him with his fingertips. It also dimmed briefly as the fingertips slid, but soon brightened again after the fingertips left.

The stream of light shone on Vito's face, and Iyana, who was standing beside him with her hands behind her back, was also standing under the firelight. Vito stared at the little girl beside him from the corner of his eye, looking at her side face lit up under the raging fire, That profile looks extraordinarily beautiful in the firelight.

She has grown up, Vito knows, when she first followed him, she was still a little girl, but now she has grown up, taller and bumpy, Vito rarely feels the passage of time, but look Looking at Yiyangna on the side, he felt that it had been so long since he hadn't seen it for a long time.

A hundred years is just a flick of a finger to him, but when she stands by his side, Vito can feel how much a hundred years means to a mortal.

Irina is only over a hundred years old. As a spirit race, she is very young even to many humans, but her talent is exceptionally good. The Phoenix Prophet who is over a hundred years old has a long history in the history of the spirit race. It is estimated that it is the first of its kind, and it is estimated that there will be no one after that, but this is not the greatest excellence of Yi Yangna compared to others.

The most unique thing about her is that she really understands Vito, and knows what kind of person he is from all aspects. She did it in just a few decades, and became Vito's heart-to-heart One of his friends, and the same, it took Adalad nearly a thousand years to do it.

But it's not surprising, after all, Edalad didn't grow up with Vito since he was a child, traveled the galaxy with him, went to all the places, and experienced all kinds of crazy adventures with him that ordinary people can't imagine, This is Iyana's uniqueness, and only her uniqueness.

This unique girl is looking up at the fire rain in the sky, her whole face is lit under the flames, and the flames outlined from her body make her body appear concave and convex.

"The emperor knows you, he sent you first, and you must be the first on his side. You know more about what kind of person he is than anyone else."

"Therefore, you should also be more aware that the emperor in the past was a person who put reason and calculation before all human nature, and now, the "emperor" sitting on that throne has become a person who has no The human god, the way he thinks now, is a god, not a man."

Yi Yangna said so, she lowered her head, and looked aside against the flames of the sky, "You know better than any of us that the person sitting on the golden throne is no longer the same person as before, and you More clearly, his madness and paranoia."

Vito leaned against the stone and didn't speak. He just leaned there and stood silently. Iyana looked at him standing under the dazzling flames. She was silent for a while, and then slowly turned her head away.

"You still don't want to kill him, right? Even now, when you have a way to replace him, you still don't want to kill him, right?"

Vito didn't speak, he just stood aside, the fire light illuminated his front body, while the back half of his body was shrouded in darkness behind a clear shadow boundary, he leaned silently, silent under the light and shadow.

"The Emperor doesn't care about life in this galaxy, Vito, he doesn't care what humans seem to be, not even his own, he just wants to continue civilization, not the life in it, and when that finally comes, you know what he'll do. "

Iyana's words echoed among the rocks, she knew the Emperor's "Great Battle" plan, Vito told her, told her everything, anyway, it was meaningless to hide it from her, Vito estimated that she had already passed The prophecy has a general meaning, and the words of the ancient sage's father have allowed her to guess the truth further. She is a smart girl, and she has been cheating since she was a child. It is meaningless.

So Vito told her everything, Vito didn't know why he would tell her on his own, maybe, he just wanted to find someone to chat with, and Iyana happened to be by his side, so everything was It happened naturally.

But she was right, the universe will die, just like the emperor said, when everything dies, it will return to peace, all intelligent life will die, and the evil gods that rely on their emotions will also disappear, and everything will die The end returns to zero, and after that, everything starts again.

No one will see that new universe, and all the old things will exit together when the curtain falls, chaos, aliens, humans, even himself.

"You don't believe him, do you? In your heart, Vito, you don't believe him. You've known since long ago that he was lying. He stole power from the Warp to create the Primarch. Knowing that he was actually a little bit Become a god, but you have always chosen to avoid and blindly follow him, is it the same now? Even if you know, what will he do this time. "

Iyana continued to speak, her voice echoed under the light of the flames, and echoed in Vito's ears time and time again. He stood under the constantly shining light, the shadow on his back, and more than ever Deeper.

He knew that the emperor was lying, he was lying to himself when he was in the throne room, he said that when he returned, he would lead the remaining humans to rebuild the galaxy, but Vito knew that he would not, he would destroy all the wisdom in this galaxy Life, he let himself bring back the Primarchs, but it was just to delay the time before the lie was reflected.

They will be abandoned, Guilliman, and everyone else, all mankind will be abandoned, because the Emperor wants to completely end all threats, and it is not enough for the xenos to disappear, because the human population is huge, and their emotions are still Let the evil gods exist, and as long as this is the case, the emperor cannot kill the evil gods.

To destroy the evil gods, the only way is to end their source of power, all wisdom, life and emotion, which naturally includes human beings, or rather, human beings themselves are the largest food source for the evil gods.

The emperor will wipe out all life including human beings, and when everything in this universe comes to an end, the evil gods who rely on their emotions to survive will also be wiped out. In that new universe, there will be no more chaos. As he said, all threats will disappear.

"Vito, even so, do you still choose to trust him and implement everything according to his plan? Even if in your heart, you don't want to at all, you were his executioner, executioner, and you killed many people for him, Thunder Warrior, Primarch, and even your friend, this time, will you continue for him? Kill everyone you love once."

Iyana would die, she knew, but she was not afraid, she showed an unexpected calm in front of that doomsday, just like the people beside her, they stood under the burning sky, like It's a dialogue standing under the coming doomsday.

Beside him, Vito remained silent. He knew that Horus chose to rebel because of this reason, the betrayal and deceit of the emperor, and after the Great Crusade, he would cleanse all the Primarchs and the rumors of their legions Choose rebellion.

And now, Vito is also standing in front of the same fork in the road, two roads, Horus once chose one of them, and now, Vito is also standing at that intersection, he needs to choose a road, a decision The road to the fate of the entire galaxy and even the universe.

Iyana turned around, and she glanced at Vito and was silent for a moment, "You don't want to kill him, do you? Because he is your friend?"

"Brother, best friend." Vito said slowly, his voice was extremely low, as if he had squeezed out those words, those words full of affection.

Iyana sighed a long time after hearing this, she walked up and stood beside Vito under the firelight and looked at him, the flames shone on their faces, causing flickering ripples.

"Think about how he would decide if it was the Emperor standing in your position." Iyana said so, Vito glanced at her without saying a word, he knew what the answer was, he knew the Emperor How will it be decided.

Iyana sighed for a long time, stretched out her hand, and took Vito's hands together. She put the key in his palm and covered his palm, letting him hold the key tightly.

"Whatever you decide in the end, keep this last and final secret, and use it to make your choice when it's all over."

"But before that, you must hide its existence from the Emperor. You cannot let him know of its existence. This is your only bargaining chip when deciding to showdown. Whether you want to do it or not, Vito, keep it safe This secret."

"Also, keep it a secret from Lilith, you know why." Iyana said softly, Vito nodded, he knew that even if Lily couldn't do anything, her soul was connected to Slaanesh, and the latter would Know the existence of this key and the medieval world from Lilith's eyes.

The four gods must never know the existence there. When the emperor opens the end, when the final battle against chaos comes, that place will be the last hope of everyone, and that must not be the place of escape for chaos. They You must not escape there with everyone and take root in the new world, otherwise all sacrifices will be meaningless.

But it also means Lilith, he...must abandon Lilith, she and Slaanesh are one, she lives, Slaanesh will live, so Lilith must go...die.

Vito stood silently, and Iyana beside him also lowered her head. She sighed and touched Vito's face with her palm, "No matter what you decide, I will trust you, Vito." Trust."

"Father." Iyana said in the smallest voice, but Vito could hear it. He looked at Iyana walking away with a slightly surprised expression. She walked into the shadow of the wilderness. The back quickly disappeared under the shadow of the doomsday fire, in the bottomless darkness.

Father.

Vito was thinking about that word. He looked at the key in his hand and fell silent, but soon he raised his head and looked at Lilith who came out from the direction where Iyana disappeared. She stood there with her hands behind her back. Looking at Vito from a distance under the firelight.

"The girl is gone, so, where did you find anything?" Lilith asked, and after watching her silent for a moment, Vito stretched out the hand holding the key into the shadow behind him. In the deepest shadows of the body.

"No, no, I didn't find anything." Vito said and walked up. He passed by Lilith, as if he didn't even look at her, which made Lilith turn her head away in a little surprise. , she looked at Vito's back with some puzzlement, but then quickly shrugged.

He wouldn't lie to herself, Lilith knew, she believed him.

Lilith followed, and she followed Vito with her hands behind her back, "Malarkin and the Wailers have returned to the track, as if there is something important, they are leaving in a hurry, maybe we should start too gone?"

"Yes, we should go."
