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

Chapter 799 [241.] Guilliman: I am beginning to understand everything

(The dialog box of the other fate line original body is [], and the rest remain unchanged)
[Corax] has never seen such an... ugly thing.

A true existence that coexists with the subspace would not be as discordant and ugly as that kind of existence.

The insect-like monster standing in the white mist...

The Primarch narrowed his eyes and stared at the existence. Mortarion, who was teleported from the warp, had obviously released his essence. Now his face that could make Corax recognize it was gone, replaced by a bone-white face with the lower half completely transformed into an insect.

[Just a discussion...]
[Corax] said while panting, he felt his bloodthirsty instinct catch up with him again, he wanted to see blood, he wanted to see the head being lifted high and inserted into the sky.

Instead of talking to these messy people here, although he really wanted to see the Conrad of this world - but the Conrad here was just a puddle of mud compared to the one in his world.

I have become a cowardly and timid being in this world.

[Corax] blood gushed out of his mouth, his thick spine shrugged with his breathing, he arched his back and took a slight step back.

He didn't want to get involved with them.

The raptor thought instinctively.

[Who knew this Conrad was so weak! ]
[Corax] roared, his bony wings spread wide, and a hurricane rose from under his wings. Mortarion saw the spikes rising between [Corax]'s bony wings and the head skewered on the spikes.

The next moment, Corax climbed into the air, flapped its wings, and immediately flew back to the battlefield, escaping from here as if fleeing, and re-entered the battlefield with the Necrons.

【…】

Seeing the Shrike leave, Corax almost immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the Primarch's stance relaxed.

But he knew that the danger would not disappear, and that [Corax] was very strong... If [Conrad] on the opposite side also joined the battle, he and Curze might not win if they joined forces.

Now perhaps it is only because the commanders of both sides have reached an agreement...that is why the Shrike is not acting so presumptuous now.

Corax swallowed his saliva. The first encounter made him realize the instability and brutality of the opponent's Shrike. If they were to cooperate with the opponent... or fight against it... it would be a big challenge for them.

Corax turned his head to look at Mortarion.

What is going on?

[As you can see... the Emperor created two lines of destiny, and now they begin to overlap...]

........................

【I think I can understand.】

Corax's eyelid twitched as he listened to Mortarion's explanation.

[But this is also...]

Mortarion rolled his eyes.

[If you want to curse the emperor, curse as much as you want.]

[No, forget it.]

Corax waved his hands; his arm, which had just been grabbed by the Shrike, still ached slightly.

[So what should we do now? ]

Corax demanded, glancing uneasily at the battlefield in the distance. The army of Khorne that emerged from the cracks in the earth seemed endless.

The subspace here is extremely strange now, and it feels to Corax like it is sunny and rainy at the same time.

【Listen to Guilliman.】

Mortarion said calmly,
【And protect Pluto. 】

[Is Pluto in danger? ]

【…】

Mortarion clenched his hand around the bonescythe.

[Danger...very dangerous.]

....................................

[Two days later]

Hades was lying on the hospital bed with empty eyes.

Pluto felt extreme pain in the part of his body that was hit by the light of the King of Silence. He felt that a part of himself as a Star God was severely damaged, and now that part was screaming and hissing.

In addition to the pain, Hades also felt hungry, a never-ending hunger, and he needed energy to heal.

After a brief loss of voice and wailing in his heart, Hades turned his perception to the outside world.

There was a rustling sound in his ears, an endless rustling sound. Guilliman was sitting at his desk, documents were unfolding around him, and countless floating pens were signing countless floating papers.

Hades decided to pretend he wasn't awake.

But his sense of responsibility did not allow him to do so.

So he decided to just close his eyes and sleep for five minutes.

……

I woke up because I was hungry.

Hades suddenly opened his eyes and shot up like a catapult.

“——What the hell?!”

As he moved his body, severe pain came like a tearing pain, making Hades feel like he had sprained his old waist. It had been a long time since he had felt such pain, just like being run over by the Queen of Glory while sleeping at night.

【woke up? 】

Guilliman turned to look at Hades, without slowing down the speed of his pen.

Mortarion was still on the battlefield, so Guilliman had to continue to guard Hades' bedside, and from time to time he had to fight for official documents with the sleepwalking Hades.

The good news is that Pluto's sleepwalking is very short.

"How's the war going?!"

Hades asked hurriedly. He remembered that he finally fought against the Silent King but failed... What is the current situation on the imperial front?

Hades remembered the strange psychic power he had in the last moment before he fell into a coma. What was that?
【We should all be grateful to Trazyn.】

Guilliman stopped writing and said seriously,
[It took the opportunity to stir up a dispute between the Storm King and the Silent King. Now the two Necrons are fighting each other, so we can take a break. ]

Trazyn?
Guilliman's words made Hades feel relieved almost immediately. The upgrades he had made for Trazyn in the past were finally not in vain.

I have to thank Trazyn afterwards, hxd it's really helpful.

But on the other hand, Trazyn probably had a grudge of his own for a long time... and was extremely disappointed with both the Silent King and the Storm King.

[But the situation is not very optimistic. The Storm King and the Silent King will eventually decide the winner - as long as there is a clear winner in the war between them, the winner will immediately turn his attention to us.]

"What are you going to do?"

Guilliman's eyes flickered.

[Let’s not talk about this for now…Hades, what can you sense? ]

These words stunned Hades, and then his black domain automatically extended to its maximum level - and then he "saw" it.

In a certain area on the Macragge's Glory, an extremely powerful soul was burning quietly. The fire was blazing, but there was no sound.

And... it's weird.

That soul was even larger than Mortarion's own. Amidst the dull gray, dazzling bright red, pale green, and charming pink burned on the surface of the flame. On its outermost layer, five layers of blue and gold chains overlapped to block the range of the burning flame.

What is this?

Hades frowned, feeling a faint sense of familiarity, yet extremely strange.

He squinted his eyes and looked at the guy, and as if aware of being watched by Hades, the flame shrank for a moment.

At this moment, Hades saw a small black dot deep in the soul, like a crack, very similar to his black domain.

"what is that?"

Hades asked seriously. There was a strong aura of chaos on that soul - but it didn't seem like pure chaos. For safety reasons, Hades immediately used the Black Domain to imprison the flame in the subspace dimension.

The dark grey flame suddenly swelled up, baring its fangs and claws as if trying to break the cage. Hades immediately became nervous, but the next moment, the flame dimmed again and looked weak.

Hades blinked and looked at Guilliman. He was already nervous, hoping that Guilliman would give him a proper explanation.

Guilliman then sighed, propped himself up on the table, and leaned forward to look at Hades.
[You tell me first...what did you feel? ]

"A very powerful Warp entity, composed of at least five Warp forces... the power of the Four Gods and the Emperor, what the hell is that?" [Motarion, Mortarion from another world. ]

"?!"

Hades understood it instantly. No wonder it was the power of the Five Gods. This was the main rebel on the opposite side. No wonder this soul breath was so familiar and yet strange to him.

But Hades was confused again.

"Didn't the Emperor say that the final thread of fate would only appear after the fall of the Four Gods? What is the situation now? Why is there another Mortarion on the Macragge's Glory? You have imprisoned him?"

[Strictly speaking, we did not imprison him.]

Guilliman smiled bitterly.
[Back to our previous conversation - Hades, you asked me how to deal with the Necrons, and now this is the answer. We agreed to form an alliance with another empire. ]

Hades nearly jumped out of bed.

"Alliance?!"

He shouted, his scalp tingling and a little hungry.

"Alliance with Chaos?!!!"

【calm! 】

Guilliman stood up quickly and said,

[This is our only way to fight the Necrons now. It's a pure desperation. I know what you're thinking - betrayal, right? But we have you, Pluto.]

"The two empires join forces to defeat the Necrons, and then I take action to wipe out the other side?"

Hades and Guilliman looked at each other. After working together for many days, they understood each other's thoughts.

Guilliman nodded slowly.

After all, Hades is a psychic special attack, not a necromancy special attack, so let the expert return to his special attack area...

"But would the Empire really be so stupid?"

Hades asked cautiously, sitting on the edge of the bed, darkness climbing up the blue and white striped hospital gown to form a dark casual outfit.

【This is also the point where I am hesitant and puzzled. 】

Guilliman said seriously, he clenched his fist,

[The other side's reason is that they can't face a whole Necrons alone... In any case, we can only take it one step at a time. 】

Without help from the other side, the empire would have difficulty holding on against the Silent King, or both sides would suffer losses.

Guilliman opened his hands again, and a pitch-black crown larger than his palm appeared, with spikes like inverted raindrops pointing upwards, with twinkling green lights in between.

[Trazyn asked me to give it to you. During your coma, the Necrons came by and left again after saying that you were fine.]

[He said this can prevent the Silent King from finding you for the time being, and it can also reduce the size of your black zone - it can reduce your black zone and make it look more harmless.]

Guilliman knew Trazyn's intentions, which made him admire this alien ally even more.

Hades blinked and he took the crown hesitantly, he was not used to wearing such things.

Although he saw each Primarch wearing a small thing on his head every day, even Mortarion had a thing made of weeds and thorns on his head.

Hades thought about it and felt that he could shape the crown as long as it did not affect the position and spatial and temporal dimensions and layout of the device generator.

A sticky black liquid oozed out from between his hands. Guilliman watched Hades' movements carefully, and then a black baseball cap appeared between Hades' hands.

Hades felt very satisfied, he could accept this.

Pluto casually put on a baseball cap on his head, and wore it backwards.

Guilliman looked like he was about to give out.

[Sorry, I mean, can you change the crown back to its original appearance? I mean - I strongly, seriously, sincerely ask you to change it back. ]

Hades stared at Guilliman with dead eyes.
"Is it ugly?"

Guilliman nodded frantically, his blond hair almost leaving an afterimage.

"Okay... okay..."

Hades doesn't think his aesthetic is that bad yet, but it's certainly been pointed out to him often enough that he finally relented, so a stupid black crown now sits on top of his white hair instead of a cool baseball cap.

Come on, there are a lot of crowns in this galaxy, but there's only one baseball cap, okay?

[Next, I suggest you recuperate on the Macragge's Glory. If you catch any C'tan fragments on the battlefield, they will be delivered to you as soon as possible.]

Guilliman changed the subject and said seriously,
[You should not appear on the battlefield now. Once you are discovered by the Silent King... the two Necron Dynasties will join forces to deal with you. ]

"I know. Then I will review the documents here for you."

Hades said this thoughtfully, but his eyes penetrated through countless cabins and looked straight at the location where Mortarion was.

"But what are you going to do about that?"

[He is a diplomatic envoy sent by the opposite empire. I will temporarily put him under house arrest. In three days, the opposite empire will arrive in this star region in large numbers.]

[According to common sense, or according to what Mortarion warned me, I should have let that guy stay on the Macragge's Glory and wait for the two armies to reunite in three days.]

【but,】

Guilliman looked towards Hades, his blue eyes gleaming with golden sunlight.

[Although Mortarion has emphasized this matter and strictly prohibited Mortarion from seeing you, I think you should go meet him. The first rebel on the opposite side obviously doesn't get along with the other me. This is a breakthrough.]

[But I respect your opinion...Hades, this matter is up to you.]

Guilliman said, with wisdom flashing in his eyes. Hades said nothing, just staring at Guilliman.

"I'll go see him now."

Hades stood up and casually raised his hand into the air, and a black cloak suddenly grew out from behind him.

Now that I don’t have to go to the battlefield, I won’t wear armor for now. Otherwise, sometimes Hades will have to find the right angle to get through the door.

Although he has been severely injured, the black domain part is still intact. There is no one in the human empire who has more authoritative means to deal with psychic energy than Hades - so Hades is not too worried about a sudden attack from the opposite side.

Besides, if the opponent really suddenly attacks... Hades felt his stomach growling.

He was also a little hungry.

Why didn't Mortarion let him see the other [Motarion]? Hades seemed to understand Mortarion's intention, but he also wanted to talk to the other side.

There was no need to hide it if they wanted to hide the power of Hades - but it was completely exposed the moment Hades woke up.

At least [Mortarion] has "witnessed" the scale of Hades with his own eyes.

"Why are you so sure he's the breakthrough?"

Before leaving, Hades cautiously asked Guilliman who was at his desk.

【Intuition and experience.】

Guilliman said with a serious expression as he repeatedly recalled the scenes of his encounter with Mortarion.

[The aura exuded by that Mortarion... I think I am not mistaken. 】

Mortarion might be wrong in this matter, for while the Pale Lord had the greater good in mind, in some respects he was terribly narrow-minded - enough to interfere with his entire rationality.

"Okay, I believe you."

Hades said casually, already opening the door and preparing to walk out.

But before closing the door, Hades hesitated for a moment and finally spoke.

"Guilliman... do you feel that you are becoming more and more like the Yellow Skin Man?"

Creak—the door was closed.

Only Guilliman was left standing there in shock.

Then, Guilliman smiled bitterly and shook his head. A soft sigh sounded among the documents.
[The Emperor again... If this continues, I will begin to understand him. ]

..............................

Sitting upright on the single sofa.

[Mortarion] felt himself trembling, with uncontrollable fear, powerlessness and nausea, which reached its peak the moment his door was knocked.
