Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor - #702 - Chapter 683 Final Autumn: The Burning Throne

The light blade-like Eldar aircraft broke away from the turbid atmosphere. It broke free just before the planet behind it completely slid into the abyss. The huge gravity of the collapse did not catch it, and the Eldar creation moved at an alarming speed. Fly with agility to a safe distance.

Eldarad stood behind the window of the bridge. He witnessed that the ancient planet had completely reached its end. It was originally within the Milky Way and half of it was in the endless void. But now, it is split from the center. , a huge wound penetrated the center of the earth at the location of the temple, and then the entire planet was split into two.

The light half shattered and exploded into a sky full of meteors, while the dark half completely disappeared into the darkness before even emitting light.

“Now that we have escaped, damn it, Eldarad, you never said that the Queen of Pleasure is there too!” Everene turned around in the suspended driving chair, clutching her stomach. A twisted feeling of pain was written on his face.

“I really didn’t know she was here.” “God of Death, is that the only thing in your dream? We were almost finished.” “But I didn’t, just like in the dream.” “Then your dream Did the dream tell you that we would almost die in the planet collapse? Damn it, Adarad, I have been a pirate, but I am not a Jedi pilot.”

Eldarad did not respond to him. He stood at the window and looked at the last flames of the planet outside. Its fire of life was burning for the last time. “The stars will eventually burn out, the night is destined to come, and dusk will rise, but the next day Will the sun still rise at dawn?”

“Riddle? There are no foreigners here in Eldarad who speak human language.” Efreni said impatiently. She leaned on the chair and took a big breath. Eldarad turned around, “You stay with humans. It has been too long, my sister, for you to speak like them.”

“It’s up to you, you bastard.” Ifreni stopped right after she cursed. She was bent over as if she was menstruating, but Eldar people don’t have menstruation.

“How are you?” “It feels like being pregnant and about to give birth.” “Have you ever experienced it? I mean.” “No, nonsense.”

Efreni raised her head and took a deep breath, and then her expression gradually calmed down. Adalad was about to come up to check when she waved her hand to stop her, “It’s okay, she didn’t do anything to me, she just hit me.” Fist, damn, that damn bitch, when I find all the old woman swords, I’ll give them to her…”

Eldarad looked at Efreni with a distorted expression. She cursed loudly, using the most suitable human language for cursing, and even a few swear words of space dwarves. It must be said that the language of the Eldar is not inherently good. Suitable for scolding people.

The prophet walked to the window, and the image of the Three Holy Hearts appeared on his palm. Three suspended stone tablets were spinning in front of him. Efreni looked at the thing, rubbed her belly and stood up, “Then What is this thing? Is it worth our trip to be almost killed by the Queen of Joy?”

“I think so, sister. Destiny has pointed out its path. The lighthouse is already twinkling. In the mist, the rocks are rising from the sea. Don’t collide with it.”

“Speak Gothic.”

Eldarad fell silent. He pondered for a while before speaking after Efreni also came to his side. “In human language, this thing is a sacred object that can determine the fate of the universe in the future.”

“The fate of the universe? Is our race on the verge of destruction again?” “Unfortunately, this time the entire universe is on the verge of destruction. The individual known as the Emperor has already embarked on his own path. In the end, there are no other forks in the road. This time, he will go to the end. “What is the end of that road?” “There is only destruction.”

Evelene was shocked. She frowned with a puzzled expression, “He wants to destroy his own race? Why? Does he already hate us so much that he wants to drag the entire universe down?”

Eldarad shook his head, and he walked aside holding the holy object. The firelight of the broken planet had dimmed, and the hazy light splashed on the face of the prophet, “From the beginning, from the moment he was born, When the human shamans created him, and even before that, he had only one purpose, to destroy Chaos.”

“I have known for a long time that the human empire and the rise of mankind are just subsidiary products of this purpose. It is best if a side mission can be completed, but if not, then he will complete the main mission.”

“Are you saying that the Emperor believed that humanity had no hope now, so he gave up on his people?”

“Then be prepared to destroy Chaos at all costs, yes, my sister.” Eldarad responded, Efreni fell silent and then thrust into her waist, “He is simply crazier than our prophets.”

“Our fellow prophets are determined to destroy Slaanesh at all costs out of pride and shame, but he is different. He only wants to destroy Chaos in order to destroy them and take revenge. This is the only obsession left for him on the Golden Throne. “

Eldalad’s face was reflected in the stand window of the Eldar craft, his eyes twisting above, reflecting the light of a twinkling Venus in the core of a distant galaxy. “The Golden Throne is a tormented godsend.” Things, sisters, are not because of the pain they bring, but because they will burn out all your emotions, little by little, turning you into an empty living corpse, leaving only one last thought. The essence of that soul.”

“Same as the Four Gods of Chaos?” “Yes, sister, you have discovered that the Golden Throne is the source of creation of the Evil God. When the Emperor built it, he knew its function, and when he sat on it, he knew his destiny. “Adalad raised his head and said with a tone of respect and awe, “He knows that he will be burned out, leaving only that one obsession.”

“There is always something left behind of the Golden Throne. Khorne is for killing, Tzeentch is for trickery, Nurgle is for corruption, Slaanesh is for joy, but the Emperor, my sister, is different from them all. He has only one purpose. The only one is revenge, revenge against Chaos at all costs, even if it reaches the entire universe.”

“Damn it…” Efreni sighed, looking at the shattered planet, imagining that the universe would become like this, “Can anyone stop him?”

“Yes, Vito.” Adarad said, and Efrenie listened to the strange voice, “You are not sure, right?” “On the contrary, I am very sure, sister.”

“The Four Gods of Chaos cannot defeat him. He suppresses the Webway, and the golden sun drives away the power of the Four Gods of Chaos. Even if they unite and tear a rift with all their strength, they can only send more demons and armies into the galaxy, and They are not completely sure when it comes to humanity, which is united and united in the return of the Primarch.”

If Chaos was really sure, then Abaddon would not have to fight thirteen times. Facts have also proved that Chaos cannot defeat the Emperor with his current strength.

“They need someone who can defeat the Emperor for them, just like Horus back then, but this time he doesn’t need to recognize Chaos. Last time, the Emperor was not to the point where he could threaten the survival of the four gods, but this time , the four gods are no longer qualified to pick and choose, they need someone, no matter who it is, to defeat the emperor and save them and the entire universe. “

“Hmph, I didn’t expect that one day the Four Gods would agree with us.” “Fate is so unpredictable, sisters.” “So, that person is Vito?”

Eldarad nodded and let out a long sigh, “Yeah, who else is suitable besides him? He is the only person in the physical universe who can rival the Emperor, although his personal strength is not enough to face a god for the time being. The Emperor, but he could do all the rest, he was the High Marshal and could have half the Imperium follow him to Terra with a wave of his hand.”

“He created the Astra Militarum, the Navy, the Ministry of Justice, the Inquisition and the Assassin’s Court. Many Primarchs respect him far more than the Emperor. Many Space Marines will fight for him, and this time he and Horu The difference is that Horus was just an ordinary warmaster at the beginning. He actually didn’t know many secrets of the empire, but he was different. Vito knew all the secrets of the empire, the treasure trove under Terra, the Void Dragon imprisoned by Mars, and the There are more forbidden secrets, and he knows how to turn them into his own weapons.”

“And this holy weapon can help him solve the problem of personal ability and fight against the emperor.” Adarad raised the Heart of the Three Saints. He looked at the thing reflecting light on his eyeballs, “Then what are you worried about? ? He will win.”

“What I’m worried about is not whether he can win, sister. What I’m worried about is the curse of the Golden Throne in the future. As she said, it is the incarnation of the will of the galaxy. It always needs an emperor.” Eldarad was worried. He said, it is rare to see the great prophet show such an expression, even when the spirit race was in danger of life and death before.

“Are you worried about Vito sitting on the throne? But what if he can close the webway? Then he doesn’t have to sit on it and be burned by the throne…”

“No, sister, you don’t need to sit on the throne all the time. It is a curse. Once you sit on it, you will never be able to escape.” Eldarad said, “He will be burned away, leaving only one obsession.” Read and become the new emperor.”

Efreni frowned, and held her chin in her hands, thinking for a while, but in the end she didn’t come to any conclusion, “Vito’s feelings are too complicated. He is more human than the emperor. He will stay.” What obsession?”

Adarad turned around, his eyes contained the answer. Efrenie understood and widened her eyes, “You mean… Lilith?” “It’s the sister of joy, Lilith and the Queen of Joy are one, my sister, the biggest difference between Vito and the Emperor is that he can love.”

Eldarad turned and looked out the window at the dark Milky Way. There was nothing there. “This has made him successful, but I’m afraid it will also destroy him. The throne will burn away his emotions, leaving only the one of love, and That love will only belong to the one who is most obsessed with him.”

“Just like she said, he will join hands with her to ascend the throne, the emperor of reality, and the queen of nothingness. Only Asuyan knows what kind of future that will be, but there is only one thing that is certain. That future, There is no place for the Eldar.”

Efreni understood. He knew what Eldarad was worried about. She had forgotten the pain and pressed her old woman’s sword. “What should we do now?” “We must destroy Slaanesh before this. Together with her sisters, Vito will no longer have any obsession when he ascends the throne.”

Eldarad turned around and spoke with an unprecedented serious expression, “You must not let him know about this. You can’t imagine what his anger will be like. You can’t tell any human beings who work with you, especially That Guilliman, I know you have corresponded with him.”

“I know, he is quite cute, but… what the hell, what happened to Lilith and him? It can make his emotions reach such a state, and it seems that the other party is the same…”

Adarad didn’t answer, and Everene raised her eyebrows, “You know, right?” “I know, but I won’t say it. It doesn’t matter. To do what we should do, you have to find the rest.” “The Sword of the Old Woman, be prepared.” “What about you?” “I will look for the future. Prophecy is never just one side.”

Eldarad said, looking at the holy weapon in his hand, “I will also tell him to set foot on the road. I just hope that we can be faster than him. My friend, I really hope that we will always be able to are friends.”
