The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Hearing the name of an Imperial Primarch, many Eldar present showed surprised expressions. After all, this individual had left a significant mark on the history of the galaxy. The Beast Wars also saw the involvement of some Eldar forces, and the common belief was that this Lord of the Fire Dragons had died in a duel with the Beasts.

"Vulkan, he should have died in the Beast Wars."

Starscourge voiced the thoughts of many, but then offered an explanation for Soshjan.

"However, this Primarch inherited the Emperor of Mankind's immortal characteristics. He almost never truly dies unless extremely special methods are used to kill him."

Soshjan nodded and looked at the Iron Man.

"So, UR-025, did Vulkan tell you that I have what you're looking for here?"

"No, he simply told me that he heard the murmurs of another blacksmith, speaking of an endless treasure trove of knowledge, so I set out to find the truth."

"Hmm?"

Soshjan felt that something was not right. The Blackstone Fortress did seem to contain a bit of the divine fire of the Artisan God Vaul, but how could this be related to the missing Primarch Vulkan?

The Iron Man said Vulkan had lost his memory. Was that true or false?

"Where is he now?"

"I promised him I wouldn't..."

To UR-025's surprise, Soshjan actually gave up asking.

"Well, let's talk about this later. If he really doesn't want to get involved in the galaxy's vortex again, why should I drag another innocent person into it..."

Then he moved his hand away from the other's round head.

"The Omnissiah's Codex, if I'm not mistaken, you escaped when the Nalanda Monastery was attacked, right? And Master Ananda isn't your so-called guide, but your keeper. Your search for your kind isn't as simple as loneliness."

"No, you misunderstand. I respect Ananda very much. He taught me the perception of being an individual. When the Nalanda Monastery was attacked, the 'gates' shattered, and the keys were shattered into many pieces scattered throughout the universe by the huge force. Ananda let this part of my thought sub-body leave and told me that if I want to achieve true self-perfection, I must collect those scattered fragments and return to Nalanda Monastery. My search for my kind is indeed not just because of loneliness, because I have analyzed and deduced from various data that the life of the Human Empire is coming to an end. The galaxy is about to fall into a huge storm. I can't do it alone. I must find my kind who can help me."

"Is that so..."

Hearing this, Soshjan was a bit confused. If Vulkan really asked the Omnissiah's Codex to find him, what was the purpose?

Or, is this missing Lord of the Fire Dragons like Leman Russ? Are they both allies of the pseudo-Macaroth?

What originally seemed like a simple matter suddenly developed into such a complex relationship. Soshjan vaguely smelled a hint of conspiracy, but it was not easy to determine where it came from. Was this UR-025 a participant or just a simple pawn, it was uncertain.

At this time, it was not appropriate to bring it to Master Shi rashly. The best way was to first control it, then ask Master Shi for verification, and then discuss specific solutions.

"In other words, you are not the complete Omnissiah's Codex now? Just a part of your personality?"

"Understanding it this way is also fine."

"Then, you must know a lot of technology, right? The Human Empire calls it STC, but for you, it's just insignificant data."

"I didn't bring out too much data. More of it is what I have seen and heard in these countless years, and the human technology route is essentially different from the Eldar technology route. There is not much interoperability."

"Do you know my other identity?"

"I don't know."

"I am the Chapter Master of the Star Knights."

"Chapter Master of the Star Knights, Soshjan Alexey, one of the most famous Astartes in the Human Empire in the last hundred years."

UR-025's gaze swept across Soshjan's face.

"Unbelievable."

"There's nothing unbelievable about it. Compared to an Omnissiah's Codex running around, I don't think I'm anything. Now that we understand each other, we have to talk about some practical things. Master Ananda once told me that the encounter of two individuals can be explained by fate. So today, you and I can also be considered to have a connection, but because the situation I am facing now is very complicated, I cannot let you see Master Ananda immediately. However, I can promise you to give you that fragment, and in the future, I can arrange for you to meet Master Ananda, but correspondingly, you need to contribute your knowledge or data."

"My knowledge is likely not of much use to you. For safety reasons, I did not carry any technology with a danger level exceeding D when I left the main brain."

"Stop lying. Even if you didn't take away much knowledge from the Omnissiah's Codex, the various technologies you have collected from the Dark Age to now are enough to be called vast. I now have a terrible enemy called the Tyranid, and you should have learned about them, right?"

"A unique extragalactic biomorph, but it seems to have strong traces of artificial carving."

"Now their growing threat is approaching. I'll give you some time to find a few technologies that can counter them. During this time, you will stay in the Royal Court for the time being."

After letting the Phoenix Guard take UR-025 to Mardael for custody, Soshjan returned to the throne.

"Your Highness."

Starscourge was about to say something when Soshjan guessed his words and raised his hand to interrupt him.

"This is my personal matter. You ministers don't need to worry too much. Just do your job in the Royal Court."

But Starscourge still didn't stop.

"Your Highness, you are the King of the Royal Court and our monarch. How can your affairs be called personal matters? Your safety is related to the survival of the entire Royal Court. Why should Your Highness lower your status and exhaust yourself for those who are not worthy?"

"Just like you ministers can't abandon the position of your bloodline, I can't completely sever ties with the past. I still have hope for Him, for them. Perhaps the dark future is forcing them to be too anxious and too radical. Don't worry, ministers, what should be returned will be returned, but what shouldn't be returned, I won't be foolish enough to seek trouble. This Omnissiah's Codex involves too many things. Whether it is a pawn arranged by them or not, before it reveals hostility, let's just leave it like this."

Saying that, Soshjan supported his forehead with his hand.

"It's just... if they really want me to do something, why don't they just say it directly, instead of taking this kind of method? Clearly a sentence can explain it, but they have to create so many branches."

After that, he asked someone to find the Archivist. This Dragon Lizard had now put on a set of equipment with very Eldar characteristics, and the armor on his body was also changed to Wraithbone, and there was also a hammer composed of vines and rune stone carvings in his hand.

Soshjan consulted the Archivist about the Tyranid construct. After hearing Soshjan's description, the Archivist showed an emotion called shock. After a dozen seconds of silence, he told Soshjan that things were indeed serious!
