Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor - #701 - Chapter 682 The Final Autumn: Prophecy

White snow fell on the sword-like aircraft of the Eldar. Ivreni of the Death Army stood under the spacecraft, looking at the temple not far away. It is an ancient ruin that has been lost for many years, embedded deep in the Inside the mountain.

This is an ancient planet, older than the stars in this galaxy, because it is man-made. The Eldar call it Korubo, which means the place of the rising, but in fact no one knows when it fell to the ground. When it appeared, Evereni only knew that the entire planet was man-made.

At least that’s what he told himself. With a flash of light, an Eldar in robes walked out from behind Ivreni. He wore a slender mask, mysterious and ancient.

“Why are we here? Eldarad, come to this dead planet in a remote galaxy far away from the civilized world.” Ivreni asked. This planet is simply more dead than a cemetery. Rather, it is a huge piece of land in itself. The cemetery, and the temple is its tombstone.

It is at the very edge of the entire galaxy and has long been out of the reach of the human star torch. Even the Eldar know very little about this place. Only the end of an extremely ancient webway connects it, like the roots of a big tree, penetrating deep. The underground stopped at a certain boundary again, not daring to take a step forward.

Evereni has heard of the concept of the Dark Frontier, but only now can she truly understand the meaning of the word, because this is the border, the entire galaxy, and the entire civilized world understands the border of the limit. One step forward, it is boundless. of dark void.

And this planet is located on its boundary, half submerged in darkness and half left in light. The dividing line between day and night is extremely obvious across the surface of the planet.

“What is here? Is it worth taking such a risk, not even taking the others with us, not even telling them.” Ivreni asked, staring at the walls of the ancient temple. “The Eldar Council, the Seers, even The Death Army doesn’t even know this place, what are you looking for here?”

“Destiny, Efreni, I came here to find the fate of the world. I saw this place in my dreams countless times, and now we finally found him.” Eldarad said, using his scepter to block the fate of the world. Freni’s chest, he shook his head towards the Death Prophet and said firmly.

“I must go in alone, this is my destiny, you stay here and wait for me to come out.”

“Then what’s the purpose of bringing me here? To look at the ship? That’s all. Anyone can do this job. Besides, I don’t think anyone will come to steal the ship on this planet.” Evelyn She looked around, then was grabbed by Adarad’s wrist. He looked into her eyes seriously and seriously.

“You must come here, daughter of the God of Death. This is your destiny. Although I don’t know why, you are here in every dream. I didn’t know who you were before, but now I know that you must Here, and every time, I am the only one who enters there.”

Evreni was silent for a moment, she nodded and broke away from Adarad’s hand, “Okay, as you wish, I will wait here, no matter what you find inside, tell me when you come out. “

“If I can come out.” As Adarad said, he had already started walking over. He came to the grand gate of the ancient ruins. It was tightly sealed, and the surface of the rock was already rugged and full of time. But when Eldarad put his hand on it, his eyes flashed suddenly, and the door exploded instantly.

The fragments of rock fell into the dark hall, and Eldarad walked in from the hazy light. He raised his arm and suddenly lit up the psychic blade, and its blue light illuminated the endless hazy surroundings. A small area in the dark.

This is a huge stone hall, or a cave is more appropriate. Darkness shrouds its borders, making everything blurry and impossible to distinguish with the naked eye. There is only a low wall located here, split between two abyss. Above the valley, a broken wall stood silently in the darkness.

The blue light shone on the wall, and its surface outline appeared in front of Eldarad’s eyes. He came to the broken wall and peered at the profound hieroglyphs on it. They did not belong to any living civilization, nor did they belong to any living civilization. Belonging to any species in the past, they are the words left by an intelligent species that wanders outside of time and space, above time.

“Old Saint.” Eldarad spoke slowly. He recognized those mysterious words. On the ancient relief was a huge world-painted mural, which depicted the birth of the universe and the time being pulled out of nothingness. The whole process up to now, considering the time when the ancient saint disappeared, this is undoubtedly a prophetic mural.

Most of it has disappeared, and only the last broken wall stands. In the center of that wall are two people. They merge together but are separated from each other. There are two different faces on both sides of one head. Dalad knew the faces and he saw the meaning of the mural.

“The birth of the Emperor has long been prophesied, and so is Vito, one soul, but with two sides, symbolizing the two sides of mankind, the God-Emperor and the Human-Emperor. They complement each other and rise in the darkness. When they merge into one, they will pierce The endless night, and when they split into two and become hostile, it will only bring about… destruction.”

Adarad immediately stepped back after touching the second half of the relief. There was shock on his face because he saw the end of the entire universe, zero, a simple zero, at the end of the huge mural. , everything disappeared, and the emperor with only one face soared in the boundless void.

“He brought destruction, all life, the end, but for what?” Eldarad asked, he didn’t understand why the emperor did this. Wouldn’t this also lead to the destruction of mankind? Just as Eldarad was thinking, suddenly the sound of approaching footsteps came from the darkness behind him.

That was not Efreni. Eldarad lit the blade decisively, turned around and cut off the slender tongue of the Slaanesh beast with a sword. It retreated, stabbed out its long sharp fingers and attacked Eldalad, The latter turned sideways to avoid the sharp fingers, and then suddenly cut off the arm of the Slaanesh beast.

It wailed and ran to the side. After escaping into the darkness, a hand touched its head. A biting chill swept through Eldarad’s body. It was the instinctive fear of all Eldar. Eldarad looked at it. As she walked out of the darkness, she raised the sharp blade as if facing a formidable enemy, “The evil demon of indulgence.”

“You should call me, goddess.” She said, appearing in the dim light, with her snow-white silver hair and the crown of horns on her head standing high. Behind her, nine tails stood up together, like sharp bayonets. .

A cold light flashed, and one of her tails was cut off. Efreni suddenly teleported and appeared next to Adarad. She grabbed Adarad’s wrist, and then quickly distanced herself from her.

Efreni held the slender sword tightly and pointed it at her, and the latter calmly stretched out her tail in front of her. She looked at the severed tail. As she spoke, the severed tail had started to grow again, “The Sword of the Old Woman? Since it It can really hurt me, but it’s not enough.”

“Why are you here, Queen of Indulgence, what is the purpose of your coming here?” Eldarad asked sharply, but there was unavoidable fear in his voice. No matter how high the cultivation level is, Slaanesh is still the eternal soul of the Eldar. enemies, and the deepest fears of the soul, before her, any Eldar is just a snack.

But she was not in a hurry to eat them. Slaanesh hummed and smiled, her tail had completely recovered and she threw it behind her, “Same as you, prophet, for prophecy, and you have already seen it, very good, since you If you can understand it, tell me, what did you see? Maybe then I can consider not eating you.”

“Little girl, put down that ridiculous toy of yours. It means nothing to me now.” Slaanesh smiled beautifully, but it was full of contempt and arrogance. She originated from the Eldar race, so her nature was only inferior to Eldar are more like Eldar.

Slaanesh stroked the beast’s head, waiting for an answer. Eldarad glanced at the relief, frowning warily, “Destruction, only destruction, but why? Why did he want to destroy his own tribe?”

“Oh dear, hatred can sometimes destroy everything. When you hate deeply enough, there is nothing to worry about. Just like you, isn’t it the same? In order to destroy me, you are even willing to awaken your God of Death at the cost of all your souls. The disappearance of the clan.” Slaanesh said mockingly, which for some reason angered the originally calm Efreni.

“No! I will never allow it. I will find a way to eliminate you without destroying the entire Eldar race. Slaanesh, you cannot escape your end! You have to pay the price for all the suffering in the past ten thousand years.” Eve Reni yelled bravely, showing amazing courage in the face of Slaanesh.

“Huh huh huh.” Slaanesh laughed in a deep voice, with a hint of chilling in the beauty of his voice, and a strong sense of oppression swept over him instantly, “You are very brave, little girl, you dare to call me by my name. That’s the name I hate the most.”

Slaanesh said, suddenly raising his hand, Efreni’s old woman’s sword was instantly released, and then she flew up and was pinned in the air. Efreni lowered her head, she planned to use the power of death, her eyes There was a flash of light, but in an instant, he raised his head and looked up at the sky.

There was a tearing pain in her neck, and her hands, feet, and all the bones in her body seemed to be pulled out. “Your arrogance is meaningless. You can’t kill me yet, little girl. It was very early, but I am now I can kill you with just a move of my fingers.”

“But I don’t want to.” Slaanesh said, loosening his fingers, Efreni dropped to the ground, Eldarad supported her and raised her head, Slaanesh looked down at them holding up their crowns, “I want you Live, but remember, your souls belong to me, you are my assets, but now, I want you to help him, he needs your strength, your strength little girl, this is why you leave alive, because If the Emperor wins, everything will be meaningless to you and me.”

“So go and accept the call of destiny. Prophet, you have seen what to do. Tell him to find the Heart of the Three Holy Ones and follow his destined destiny. Only he can fight against the Emperor. Neither you nor us can. Only he, The guardian of human civilization, the other side of the emperor can do it, let him ascend the throne, rule everything, let him become the new emperor,” Slaanesh said, stroking the head of the beast, the demon’s body. A rumble rose behind her.

“That is just the beginning of another painful cycle. The universe may be saved, but nothing can be changed. The cursed throne will drive him crazy, and he will annihilate the last trace of himself like the emperor in the dark galaxy. Human nature, you are pushing him into hell.” Eldarad helped Efreni, who picked up the Crone’s Sword from the ground.

“There will always be something left of him, their strongest emotion. Just as the Emperor retains the desire for revenge, the Golden Throne will always need an Emperor, and he will come to change.” Slaanesh said, stroking the beast’s Head, its slender head rubbed against Slaanesh’s thigh.

“Destiny, there is always more than one path.” Edalad said as he stepped back. He supported Evelyne and retreated into the light. Slaanesh watched them and came to the broken wall again.

Her hand gently touched Vitor’s face. She leaned her forehead against his face and stroked the head of the beast that rubbed against her. “Put on the cursed crown and ascend the throne, Vitor my love. It originally belonged to you. Even if it is ten thousand years late, it only belongs to you and rule the entire universe.”

Slaanesh said, and suddenly crushed the entire mural. She tore Vitor’s face off and held it high. The entire cave collapsed. Slaanesh held Vitor’s face high in the falling debris. “Put on the crown, my king, burn everything, bring love, and go to eternity with me.”

Before the last part behind her finally broke, it revealed a magic circle composed of three stone tablets. This was the beginning of the end of this eternal war.
