The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Although Torson had a superhuman brain and thinking ability, he still couldn't sort out most of the details in such a complex event and intricate context. Now, the only thing he could be sure of was that the plan was initially started by the Primarch, Macardo intervened later, and the Emperor knew about it all along. It involved a mysterious guide, as well as the power of the Eldar and the Star Gods, which was not far from what he knew in the past.

The biggest difference was that the Emperor always knew this was happening.

So now the biggest problem is that the Mortal's view of the ultimate goal of the Gray Marrow Project seems to be inconsistent with that 'Macardo'.

"Mortal, then what do you want me to do?"

Torson didn't ask directly, but he felt that the other party should be able to understand his euphemistic question.

After pondering for a moment, the other party said something that surprised him.

"I can't interfere too much now. Perhaps this is the last time we meet. If I have to make a request, then let's just do it according to your own ideas. I think this sentence can reduce a lot of your psychological burden."

"This—"

Torson was a little confused again. The Mortal's attitude made him feel very strange.

"Mortal, don't you want to walk among the people again?"

"We may have such thoughts, but I—"

The Mortal shook his head.

"I no longer have this ability, Torson. Are you trying to ask why what I said sounds like I agree with the Gray Marrow plan, but it doesn't seem like I agree very much, right?"

Torson nodded.

"Because if this plan really comes to the point of desperation, it is indeed humanity's only hope. I can't deny this, but the final result may not necessarily be as they expected. Moreover, the secret of the Undying Starfall has never been cracked, which is a huge hidden danger. Although in theory the power of the Nalanda Sangharama is enough to complete the final transformation, it has never been verified. Who knows what accidents will happen in the middle—"

"Nalanda Sangharama?"

Torson frowned. He didn't expect to hear this place name from the Mortal's mouth again.

"Isn't that... how is it related to Gray Marrow?"

"It has nothing to do with Gray Marrow, but it has to do with us. I can't explain that place to you. Perhaps you can only understand it when you go there yourself."

The other party's words directly blocked Torson's subsequent inquiries, and he had to stop this topic.

"Then... should I cooperate with them?"

"I said, it's up to you to decide."

"Will the Gray Marrow transplanted into the warriors have any impact?"

The Mortal shook his head.

"I don't know the details of these plans. Many things will change in ten thousand years, not to mention a long plan that has been taken over by many people."

"Mortal, Dorn? Did he also intervene in the Gray Marrow plan? What is his relationship with the White Templars? Is his disappearance related to Xerxes' homeworld, Tizca?"

"The only thing I can say about this matter is that it is related to the Deceiver. As for more, I don't think this plan should be stopped. No matter what, it has already reached this point. No matter where it ultimately leads, there is no reason to stop at this time."

"Then Mortal, can I ask you one last question? I hope to get the most truthful answer."

"Speak."

"If I choose to sacrifice myself, can I really save humanity and the Empire?"

The Mortal was silent for a long time before slowly uttering a few words.

"Possibly."

After hearing this, Torson breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had unloaded some burden, and even his expression became much more relaxed.

"I understand. I will do my best to investigate the Eldar, Necrons, and Undying Starfall, and eliminate all possible hidden dangers. I will live up to my oath when I became an Astartes. I can return everything others have given me without regret, but there is only one thing: Veronica's safety cannot be threatened. If anyone wants to take excessive actions, no matter who they are, don't blame me for turning against them!"

The Mortal didn't show anything after hearing this, but seemed to think of something, walked to the tall bookshelf, then floated up and took out a book from it.

It looked like a notebook, with a very simple line written on the cover—

Aida Mythology System Research and Arrangement

But there was no author's signature. Torson guessed if this was written by Xerxes.

Then the Mortal placed the book on the ground, and the pages automatically opened, flipping page by page, and finally stopped on a page near the back.

"Isha is the mother goddess of the Aida, the creator of the soul stones. Her husband is the hunting god Kurnous. The main god of the Aida is Asuryan, and its consort is a goddess named Haya. Haya is also the wife of Khaine. However, some ancient records show that Khaine's consort should be Hekate, the goddess of the old woman. There is some contradiction or lie in this."

The Mortal gently read out the words above, and Torson also walked over curiously, tilting his head and looking at the pages on the ground.

"Who wrote this?"

"Xerxes."

"Was the Primarch always researching Aida mythology?"

"Xerxes has been investigating the secrets of Asuryan. Before, I didn't think he had any results, but now it seems not..."

Saying that, the Mortal gently waved his finger, and the page turned again.

"Thanks to Kylo, I finally know some key secrets. The Rogue Trader fleet has taken in an Aida Rogue Trader who believes in Haya. Their Craftworld was destroyed by demons, and only a few people escaped."

"Haya is actually a wrong name. She should be called Morai-Heg, and she is a twin goddess. One is old, and one is young. The old one is Hekate, and the young one is Isha."

"This also means one thing: Isha is very likely to be the wife of Asuryan, so she is naturally the mother goddess of the Aida. But if this is the case, then what about the hunting god Kurnous? Are the Aida mythological records wrong?"

Then the page turned, but there was only one paragraph.

"I now have two guesses. First, Kurnous may be the child born to Asuryan and Isha, but the Aida may have misunderstood the relationship, thinking of them as husband and wife. Another, Asuryan always dwells in his temple in the Eldar mythology and rarely comes forward. So, is there a possibility that Kurnous is one of its incarnations? But what is the purpose of this? Perhaps it is related to the fact that Asuryan rarely shows up. Is it not that it doesn't want to show up, but that it can't? If I can enter the Eldar's former homeland, I might be able to crack this secret..."

Seeing this, Torson's eyes widened. There were some things he didn't say to the Mortal, but he knew very well in his heart that the Undying Starfall was Asuryan, so his meeting with Veronica might not be a simple "accident", and their love might also have some deeper reason.

Perhaps this is a breakthrough. Torson was planning to discuss it with Veronica after returning.

The Mortal seemed to notice his thoughts, raised his head and glanced at Torson who was thinking, and didn't say anything, closing the book.

"I will have this book sent to your ship. You can study it carefully with your wife when you have time. There will be many difficulties in this marriage in the future, but I must remind you to be careful of that guy Eldrad. Never trust this Aida. Although this old liar still has some ability... he has too few truths in his mouth. It is estimated that his plan has been going on since the fall of the Eldar, but with the Deceiver there, you don't have to worry too much. Well, I should go see a friend too."

"Friend?"

"Thanks to you, this old friend has the opportunity to meet me in Terra."
