The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Kahlus Thuu had already learned about Veronica's identity and everything that had happened at the Eternal Court when he was receiving treatment. It was very easy for Elda to share information. He had no doubts about Veronica's power because he himself was proof of it.

Therefore, one can imagine how excited this former Master Bonesinger was. After he woke up, he burst into tears, shouting that the fire of Asuryan would never die, and kept kowtowing, which startled So Shayang. Moreover, he didn't seem to have any doubts or resistance to So Shayang, who was almost human, becoming the Phoenix King, and was almost abnormally obedient.

At that time, So Shayang even took the initiative to ask him what he thought of him. As a result, the other party said, "Father God Asuryan has his own arrangements." Then, he told So Shayang that he used to have a friend who was from the Bufulopo-Quisna family. He even knew So Shayang's ancient maternal Elda ancestor. Speaking of which, he even had a relationship with So Shayang's family—before the Great Fall, as one of the royal Bonesingers, although he was only the lowest-level warlock, he was already able to feel that the Eldar Empire was on the verge of collapse. Because of the deeper connection between Bonesingers and the Warp, he was more able to feel the gathering of destructive power. Therefore, he wanted to invite his friend and his family to the Kinshasa Ark to take temporary refuge. However, due to his personal reasons, the invitation was not sent out in the end, and the Ark World set sail. After that, he completely lost contact with his old friend.

If the Bufulopo-Quisna family had gone to the Kinshasa Ark at that time, then there might not have been the subsequent marriage between the Aleksei family and the Bufulopo-Quisna family. Fate seemed to turn the gears in this inconspicuous corner.

So, Kahlus Thuu's saying that Father God Asuryan has his own arrangements may have another deeper meaning.

"Is the Artisan feeling better?"

Hearing So Shayang's question, Kahlus Thuu bowed and replied:

"He is fine and can serve His Majesty and Her Highness at any time."

"These things are not urgent."

The three then came to one side of the round hall, and several floating chairs floated over, and they sat on them.

"Master Kahlus Thuu, um—"

So Shayang stopped halfway, as if considering what to say, but the other party had already guessed it and replied with a smile:

"I actually know who Moganla is. I even guessed that he would definitely kill me afterwards, because I designed this weapon."

"What does this have to do with the weapon..."

"I told him that to make the weapon he wanted, he needed three things: spirit bones touched by death, used to make the main body of the weapon; metal quenched with divine blood, used to make the blade of the scythe; and a powerful ancient prophet's soul stone, as the source of the weapon's psychic energy."

Hearing this, So Shayang and Veronica frowned. These things didn't sound like good things.

The Soul Artisan seemed to be immersed in some kind of beautiful memory, with a fanatical smile on his face.

"Although it was difficult, Moganla would do it. I understand him. This is both tempering his weapon and tempering himself. He led a group of followers to a Crone World. After sacrificing all the warriors who trusted him, he eliminated the demons entrenched there, and then harvested the black bones of death from the Infinity Circuit. After that, he tricked a bishop who trusted and respected him very much, and took him to a lost temple in another Crone World. Inside was hidden an Avatar of Khaine. Moganla used the bishop as a sacrifice to perform a dark ritual to awaken the Avatar. When the Blood God's representative on the mortal plane awakened, he deeply pierced a huge scythe-shaped star-gold into the Avatar's heart. The Avatar's molten blood quenched and hardened the blade, and infused it with Khaine's power. Finally, he came to a sanctuary, a very ancient sanctuary, where a prophet who survived the Great Fall guided the souls of the people of this world. Moganla killed this kind prophet and took away his soul stone—"

After hearing this, Veronica's beautiful eyes widened and she said in disbelief:

"He actually did this kind of thing... Is this still a Phoenix Lord? This is simply a demon!"

So Shayang narrowed his eyes, looked at the strange smile on Master Kahlus Thuu's face, and then said softly:

"So, you actually made two weapons, one called Morgantahl, and one called... Moganla."

The Bonesinger Master smiled and nodded.

"Your Highness is right. The most perfect weapon must be used by the most perfect killer. This is my principle in making weapons. Moganla was obviously not perfect enough when he found me."

Then the truth is very clear. A killer warrior who was already a bit extreme in personality met a genius artisan who was a bit morbid in personality. The final result is self-evident, and it is also very in line with Kahlus's identity as an ancient empire remnant. It is estimated that there were many Eldar with this slightly morbid style before the empire's destruction. The Great Fall may have changed some of him, but it is difficult to change his nature.

So, So Shayang always felt something was wrong when he heard Moganla talk about this matter. How could an old thing who has lived for tens of thousands of years fall into the trap without any precautions? Maybe Moganla himself didn't realize this...

"No wonder Master, you have never shown any hatred for Moganla."

"Haha, Your Highness is joking. How can an artisan hate his own work? Especially when it is so perfect."

Veronica frowned.

"I can't understand. This is simply... too unreasonable!"

Seeing that Veronica was very unhappy, Kahlus Thuu looked a little frightened and looked at So Shayang out of the corner of his eye.

So Shayang gently held Veronica's hand.

"It's all in the past, let it go. Master Kahlus Thuu will definitely not do similar things again after this lesson."

Then he turned the topic to another goal here.

"Master Kahlus Thuu, now we are facing a problem—"

Then So Shayang talked about the situation of the Malantai Ark and the disposal plan about it.

"...Now the first problem is that the Ark has lost power and cannot move on its own. Moreover, it is so huge that it cannot be transported through the Webway by dragging it. The second is how to transform an Ark World into a military facility, which parts to keep, and which parts to remove. Most Bonesingers cannot give specific plans."

After listening, Kahlus Thuu put his hands together, his fingertips supporting his chin, as if thinking.

After a while, he smacked his lips lightly and said:

"Restoring power is not difficult. I have three plans. First, rebuild the Eternal Circuit. This is the fastest. The soul stones can be reduced, but a certain amount is still needed. I see that there are many in this Maiden World."

Veronica shook her head.

"Impossible. The people of the Linnae Kingdom will not accept their ancestors' soul stones being implanted into a strange Eternal Circuit, especially as an energy source for a war machine."

"If Your Majesty says no, then don't. The second plan is to capture the core of a planet and transform it into an artificial energy source. This will take a long time and may have hidden dangers. Once the enemy attacks this core, it may cause the instant destruction of the entire Ark. That would be a terrible disaster."
