Warhammer: I don't want to become a stinky can!

Page 643

After discussing with Hades, Mortarion and Hades agreed to destroy four entrances to the network tunnels, leaving only two open.

Makado's army (the private army of the Markers) was directly allowed to attack Comoros through a large entrance to the web tunnel, and the Dark Angels were also deployed at the same entrance.

If Macardo wants to gain a share of the Comoros, then with his smaller forces, he will be unable to station troops at the exit of the Webway. Meanwhile, the Dark Angels will help the Primarch complete the task of monitoring Macardo.

Although Mortarian had some doubts about the Dark Angels' abilities, he couldn't rely on the Death Guards for everything given the manpower shortage.

The Primarch glanced calmly at the suppressed expressions on Luther and Macado's faces, showing no interest in their twisted, convoluted, and trivial grudges. Mortarion turned back to continue his explanation.

The Mechanicus army will then join forces with the Death Guard and the Underworld forces to attack Comoros; they will be the main force in this campaign to decapitate Slaanesh.

The meeting was brief and somber, perfectly in line with the style of the Lord of Darkness. And sure enough, Hades skipped the entire strategic meeting.

After the meeting was adjourned, the two ordinary commanders with little experience made their escape, leaving only the old men sitting in their seats, dawdling with varying expressions.

Is there anything else?

Death glanced at him, and Luther suddenly stood up and left his seat, his eyes fixed on Macado before he left.

Macardo chuckled, a sealed folder appearing in his hand without his noticing. He tossed it to Mortalian, who caught it deftly and watched coldly as Macardo left.

As Macado stood up, Kirkland also stood up, bowed apologetically to the Primarch, and then left the room.

Motalian remained motionless, opened the folder with one hand, and saw a complaint letter about the Isaniad sector. A local land official was reporting that the Mechanicus's large-scale project within the system was severely disrupting the daily lives of the local people.

The Primarch remained unmoved and continued scrolling down, eventually finding various documents: in different star systems, the number of Christian escorts at port checkpoints had increased by about 3.5%; merchant ships were being informed of route occupancy and were applying for tax reductions...

"what is this?"

Thirty seconds after the meeting ended, Hades arrived at the scene with pinpoint accuracy.

Mortarian remained silent, casually pulling out a few documents for Hades to look at. Hades opened them, glanced at them, then looked up, blinking awkwardly.

"It seems that Makado's monitoring of the outer galaxies is far more thorough than we imagined. I expected him to find out, but I didn't expect there to be so much evidence."

I look forward to the day when Nirvana completely replaces Makado...

Hades waved his hand.

"It can't be replaced. It's okay in the large star sectors and the star sectors where the Cult of Mechanics is rooted, but in other places, the promotion of Nirvana is greatly hindered, after all, it is ruled by people."

When some Nirvana projects stalled but were still critical sectors, Hades would send the Red Pirate Huron to handle them—a task Huron was very adept at.

Did he think this project was targeted at him?

The Primarch chuckled and tossed the last photo in the folder onto the conference table. In the photo, the Cult of Mechanics was using some kind of giant machine to pull a planet, and in the distance, a dim black star.

The technology from Faos, the [Planetary Thrower], was first noticed by Hades on Terra.

They plan to throw several planets filled with anti-psychic black stones into Comoros to aid Hades in his battle.

After all, as of now, the only ones capable of storing energy in Hades' Black Domain are Black Stone and a small number of Soulless Beings.

"It seems he thinks it might be true."

Hades picked up the photograph, turned it over, and saw the file code listed by Makado. This was the file code used by the Nirvana system, which all officials could view.

In Hades' memory storage - Nirvana - Government Backup, he found the corresponding files with the codes listed by Makado. The magic pattern makers carefully smoothed out the rough edges of their project, making it even harder for outsiders to see what these guys were doing.

"But now he suggests we use this project to deal with Slaanesh."

Hades and Mortarion exchanged a glance. This was originally intended to deal with Slaanesh... someone else was there to deal with Macador.

Do you think he discovered it?

Hades's statement was vague.

Mortarion's expression seemed to indicate denial. The Primarch signaled Hades to fully activate the Dark Domain, and then produced a letter.

[Killiman's.]

Motalian said, "I also want to talk to you about this."

Hades looked up in confusion. What was it? He didn't think Mortarion would still hold a grudge against Macragge from ten thousand years ago. The current Barbarus was more beautiful, and the current Primarch was no longer the stubborn being who only focused on trivial details.

"Ok?"

Hades responded and opened the letter. He saw the familiar Killieman handwriting—after all these years, Robert's handwriting had become much sharper and thinner, but the overall layout looked more moderate and rounded.

[To Yin Yun:]

Spread the letter good.

Things are going well here, but I spoke with the crows yesterday and we both agreed that we need to warn you. Please forgive my offense.

Perhaps you have already sensed what I am about to write, or perhaps the Lord of Humanity and the Red One have advised you in advance, but in any case, I still want to remind you.

If the plan goes smoothly, you will soon face the overthrow of a god, but this is only the beginning. Dealing with the corpse of a god will be more difficult than killing him. According to the laws of the subspace, the torrent of concepts that was originally bound by him will immediately disperse and will most likely find new entities nearby to attach themselves to.

】

"Um,"

Hades was silent for a moment.

"Sorry, Guilliman was talking about psionics and gods, I almost thought I was being a bit crazy."

After that, he studied very hard.

Motarian said calmly,

I was initially quite surprised too. I discussed this with Magnus—who was also astonished, believing that not every brother possessed a psychic flash, especially Guilliman.

When this matter was discussed on Barbaros, Magnus almost jumped off the sofa, and the Red Primarch was heartbroken.

He had preached psionic powers to Guilliman countless times, but Guilliman always looked at him with what he thought was a polite look that was actually the look of someone looking at a fool.

Ten thousand years later, not only did Mortarion surpass Magnus in psychic abilities, but Guilliman was also close to surpassing Magnus.

It seems we underestimated him.

"My mistake, I was being stereotypical."

Hades said that even Mortalian had accepted psionic powers, so nothing was impossible now, and he continued scrolling down.

【

Perhaps your plan is for the Underworld to handle the scattered spiritual energy and tolerate my offense, but that's unrealistic.

On clear nights, I often observe the warp. I think the Underworld can try to devour one-third of the Chaos mass. Too much would also break the balance between the warp and the physical world, and parts of the Empire's territory would be thrown into the warp by the concentration difference. I think this is not the scene you want to see.

】

"Perhaps it won't even reach a third."

Hades made a brief assessment.

"One-fifth? Any more than that, and the Lord of Humanity won't have enough of the spiritual energy he uses to suppress my faith."

There's no need to force yourself.

Motalian said,

If you can't eat... then let someone else do it. That's exactly what I wanted to discuss with you. Take a look first.

Hades nodded and continued flipping through the pages.

【

Therefore, a large part of the concepts will carry power and dissipate with the death of chaos—what do you intend to do about this, Death?

】

The term "Grim Reaper" has been emphasized.

【

I suggest that the Underworlders scatter the fragmented concepts that can be scattered, allowing them to return to the warp turbulence and await their autonomous re-condensation millions of years later. As for the concepts that cannot be easily broken or shaken, the Empire needs to actively find a vessel for them.

Rather than letting them run rampant, we should take the reins of these concepts ourselves.

This is the inspiration you gave me, Death. You showed me another possibility.

In the years since I removed my crown, I have been trying to find the whereabouts of my brothers, and to my grief and anger, it is likely that my brother Phoenix is ​​in the Emperor's hands.

And the bats, too, were in the emperor's hands. I don't feel too much grief about this; perhaps it's a good thing for the bats.

Phoenix is ​​the one among us who most closely resembles this deity, followed by Falcon, me, the Moon, and the Fire Dragon.

I and the moon both overlap in terms of domination and vanity, while the falcon and the dragon correspond to the ultimate desires—perhaps the wolf is among them, for none of us is more fond of food than him.

But now I'm probably the only one who can appear in Comoros.

The remaining concepts are likely to actively attach themselves to the Emperor—the Grim Reaper. This is the Emperor's purpose. The greedy are like vultures, hovering around the dying god. This is also why you came to me.

I will settle my score with the Emperor before that, but what will become of the remaining concepts, Death?

】

Fugan and Coz are in Macado's hands...

"That is indeed a problem."

Hades scratched his head.

Is subspace really that complicated?

[Don't worry, this matter has been resolved. Nirvana has recently been mobilizing a large amount of blackstone reserves—for psionic energy storage.]

"what does that mean?"

Fernus intends to help Fugen store up the power that Seneca has lost in advance.

"????"

Mortarian watched as Hades' expression changed from bewilderment to shock.

"Wait, Phenus??? When did Phenus get back?!"

Mortarion decided to tell a small lie discreetly to cover up the fact that he hadn't told Hades about it immediately; he hoped it was the Lord of Man who had told Hades, not him.

I assumed you knew.

The Primarch said, "Your Nirvana System..."

The Emperor stuffed a Primarch inside.

Hades' pupils dilated in shock. He had realized something was wrong the moment Mortarion said that Fernus had returned. He then learned the devastating news that the physics marvel he had painstakingly created had been completely stolen by the weasel.

So, is Nirvana's high computing power due to the circuits—or the Primarch?

If it's the original entity's achievement—then is it necessary to create a shell for Nirvana?

Hades took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and tried to regain his composure. Although he already knew that the weasel was pouring psionic energy into it, he did not expect that his exquisite and painstakingly crafted Nirvana would be directly stuffed with the soul of a Primarch.

"You might as well curse the weasel to die now, Old Mo."

Hades said, what else could the engineer do but forgive the jerk who ordered fried rice at the bar.

Mortarian was pleased to see Hades direct his anger at the right person, so he continued.

After the Emperor's defeat, the Empire will force him to hand over the remaining Primarchs. After that, we can send Fulgen—or the Lord of Mankind himself.

Hades nodded.

"Perhaps Makado could also take on some of the burden... as long as his psionic energy isn't allowed to become chaotic again?"

I don't think my brothers will allow him to regain his power.

Hades thought for a moment, then sighed, "That's true."

"So what is Killieman trying to warn you about?"

Hades held up the letter and continued reading.

【

What troubles me is not only that, "Death," I think you have already heard the legends of the Eldar, that when the Eldar are completely destroyed, Death will kill Slaanesh and take the place of the youngest queen.

After extensive research, I believe that Slaanesh and Death are twin gods, one awakening and the other sleeping. If you completely kill Slaanesh, then Death will surely appear.

I'm not sure if you're prepared for this, but I need to warn you, Dark Cloud, that names have power, and your authority in some way overlaps with that of the slumbering Eldar Death God.

What will happen to you, whose powers are similar to His, when Death rises again? I have no answer to this question; only you can answer it.

What is your answer?

No matter how you answer that question, Death, I will appear with my army at that time.
