How can a retired savior be considered retired if his price drops to 40,000?

Chapter 197: Fighting with the True God
In this universe, something like "destiny" can be regarded as "Tzeentch" in some contexts.

Not long ago, Enkidu had expressed doubts about "Does the 'Lord of Joy' and the 'Lord of Change' have a good relationship?" Debit judged that Fulgrim's words Here, the meaning of the word "destiny" is consistent with the above-mentioned context.

In this case, although no servants who clearly belong to the Lord of Change have appeared on the battlefield so far, we still should not underestimate the impact that this great power of chaos can have on the situation in other aspects.Even in Debit's original universe, things like "fate" and "karma" are very difficult to get rid of, let alone the current situation where it is almost certain that "there is a malicious operator behind the scenes." everything” situation.

But even though Tzeentch is one of the four great powers of chaos in this universe, it is obvious that he cannot create something out of nothing when controlling destiny.Fujimaru Ritsuka once explained in detail the contradictory power of this subspace god with Debit and Tezcatlipoca. Although he can arbitrarily fiddle with the direction of the thread of fate in a seemingly omniscient manner, he cannot do it. True "omniscience" and "fiddle with destiny" are not things that are completely cost-free for Him and allow Him to truly execute them as he wishes.

Simply put, if He wants to "fiddle with the thread of fate," then he first needs to meet a prerequisite: that "thread" must exist, and He must "touch it."

For example, for "outsiders without threads" like Fujimaru Ritsuka or Debit, Tzeentch's influence on them is very limited. It can only affect other people and things that are not directly related to them. , things come to reluctantly guide their destiny.For another example, although the Emperor is indeed a native of this universe, Tzeentch obviously cannot directly control the fate of the burning golden sun projected in the subspace opposite Terra - Unless He himself died.

But coming back to the current situation, no matter Ferrus Manus or all the members of the Iron Hands Chapter, their fate obviously does not meet the above two special cases, and they can only be exposed to the ever-changing environment without any defense. Under the malicious fingertips of the Lord.If what Fulgrim said was true, and the attack he launched was really under the watchful eye of Tzeentch, then if the Iron Hands wanted to win, it would be tantamount to wrestling with a true god head-on.

——And if they "want to win", their side also needs to meet a prerequisite first: find the table used for arm wrestling, otherwise everything after that will be meaningless.

If this problem were only placed in this universe, it might be turned into an unsolvable problem by Tzeentch.Of course, the Lord of Changes has the ability to hide the table while his opponent is watching. Even if the latter is about to discover its existence by accident, the Supreme Eagle, who has never intended to play a fair fight, can also With his control over everything in the subspace, he immediately discovered the omissions in his plan and made corresponding adjustments to ensure that the table remained invisible to anyone except himself before the dust settled, or An elusive state of affairs.

But it is a pity that in the current battle, He neglected the existence of Debit.Perhaps because of the latter's "outsider" status, or perhaps because of Tezcatlipoca's intentional care, Debit was aware of the existence of "that table" even before everyone set out: Yeli The three mythical stories of Brother, Gorgon, and Istvaan V.Regardless of whether Tzeentch discovered this or not, he obviously did not respond in any way.

However, why three stories like this?

Istravan V is the best to understand and the hardest to crack.Fulgrim did kill Ferrus Manus once. As long as the two appear on the same battlefield, a repeat of this "drama" is almost inevitable, and it doesn't even need to be Tzeentch intervenes more;
The Gorgon legend seems a bit strange here, but not entirely incomprehensible.Perhaps Tzeentch hoped to reenact the scene in which Perseus slays the Gorgon with the help of the gods.But if you don’t look at the nickname "Gorgon" that Ferus carries, no matter how you look at it, the current Fulgrim is more in line with the category of "monster" and "snake-related monster" the one described;
The most incomprehensible is the legend of Jericho.The entire fleet encountered no visible obstacles during its journey to the planet Jellik. Until the Emperor's Children's warship suddenly appeared, everything was going very smoothly, without the slightest sign of "something coming true."Debitt frowned amidst the sound of artillery fire that became increasingly fierce as time went by. He repeatedly reviewed all the information he knew about the mythology and the planet Jerrick in his mind, and then he vaguely realized one thing:
After confirming that Tzeentch is watching, it is highly likely that the name of this planet "Jerik" is not a mere coincidence. If this "myth" does not belong to the present, it will belong to the before and after.

——In this universe, the origin of “Catholicism” itself is inseparable from the Emperor who has been secretly promoting the development of human civilization.Therefore, in a sense, the fact that "Ferrus took seven days to capture Jericho" during the Great Crusade may be unintentionally related to "the 'Lord' used the seven-day ritual of circumambulating the city to conquer Jesus. The city of Lego was given to His chosen people." This story is consistent.It may be a pure coincidence in itself, but it does give Tzeentch the opportunity to conceptually confuse "Jerik" with "Jericho".At least 1 years after the Mimir Treasure House was built on this planet——

He suddenly realized that he and the Iron Hands had been trapped in a blind spot that those who knew about it seemed "natural".Just as he judged not long ago, the "Legend of Jericho", which is closely related to "God", has really become a winner, and even a winner that puts them in a dilemma.Suddenly realizing that something was wrong, Debit brought his consciousness back to reality from his thoughts, quickly looked around, and passed several Terminator guards who were still guarding the central army in accordance with the order.At this time, about 4 minutes had passed since the melee started again, but he still successfully and accurately caught the signal of Lindrick's power armor in the chaos, which was gradually approaching the front line of the battlefield, and urgently sent a message to the chief think tank Message: "What is the current overall battle situation? Are the Iron Hands going to lose?"

Normally, Lindrick, who was in the middle of a fierce battle, would not pay attention to this kind of useless information that had nothing to do with the battle situation itself - but Debit's wording was so awkward that no Iron Hand could bear this kind of doubt. , and would immediately take it as an insult.The chief think tank, who was already fighting with the great secret keepers running around, released the spell he was preparing with blazing anger, and then took advantage of the slightest opportunity to angrily retaliate: "What are you talking about? *Medusa expletive* words! Of course the Iron Hands will win!"

"I'm not talking about things like combat goals or expected will!" Debit's voice, which was very rare, sounded more anxious than Lindrick, "I need actual data and logical arguments! Do what you do best! Then tell me if this deduction continues, will the Iron Hands lose?"

Lindrick wanted to curse again, but the more rational part of his mind had already made him realize that Debit must have asked this question for some reason.Therefore, the chief think tank cursed the air while sinking part of his thinking into the chain of command. It took him [-] seconds to retrieve the battle report data so far with his own authority, and another [-] seconds. Realized, there may indeed be something wrong with this:

There are too many "coincidences" happening on the battlefield that overall seem to be beneficial to the opponent.Just the "battle damage to our members due to mechanical failure", a coincidence that is so small in the Iron Hands that it can almost be ignored by the strict standards of the Astartes, has already occupied one of the reasons for attrition in the current battle report. That’s 5 percent—and the trend is rising.In just four and five minutes, the number of battle losses on the Iron Hand side on the battlefield was already 40.00% higher than originally expected by [-].

The iron-clad data suddenly extinguished Lindrick's raging anger, but it was absolutely impossible for him to agree with Debit's words, "Will the Iron Hands lose?"After a pause of half a second, he shouted back to the other party in the communication channel amidst the noise of the battlefield: "It seems from the data that something is indeed very wrong. There are too many 'coincidences' that will cause damage to our side! "

"The legend of Jericho is indeed echoing reality!" Debit reluctantly rushed to Lindrick's side at this time. "According to the legend, the 'Lord' once issued a decree, telling everyone after entering the city of Jericho: 'Never do it.' Loot the property. Nothing can be kept as your own.' Otherwise, the anger of the 'Lord' will make them retreat in the next war!"

"What?" Lindrick had indeed heard this story from Debitt not long ago, but he could not immediately understand how this story echoed reality, "But -"

"We all take it for granted, thinking that 'the items in Mimir's treasure house must belong to Ferrus Manus.'" Debit quickly explained, "But we cannot ignore that this treasure house is on the planet Jerrick. It has existed for more than 1 years - with this level of time accumulation, in terms of mysticism, it can certainly be said that 'everything in the treasure house also belongs to Jerrick'."

When they were in Mimir's treasure house, no one thought that the toy-like "generator" Ferus took out would determine their fate in the next battle.
