The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Chapter 3296 Lei Shi's Assistance

"Brother, you don't need to fall into self-doubt. What Xerses couldn't do doesn't mean you can't. Besides, have you ever thought about why Ananda would choose to help you? Cheer up, it's not a big deal. What about the Star God, what about the Evil God, or even the Emperor? You don't need to dwell on whether that power is yours or not. All you need to do is control it, obtain it, so that you can control your own destiny, and then control the fate of the entire family, instead of continuing to be a pawn like in the past."

Soshyan opened the can, took a big gulp, and then gasped:

"Maybe it's just that those things had too much of an impact on me. This is the first time I've felt so uneasy and afraid. Any small mistake I make in the future could lead to devastating consequences. Now I truly realize that I'm not having a smooth journey, but walking on thin ice."

"What's the situation with your power now?"

"I can't really say. The changes may not be that significant, or even stronger, but the problem is that my control has weakened, or rather, that one's control has weakened. In short, it's best for me not to use the power of the Ruin right now. It may already have the ability to act independently from me. I don't know if Xerses faced this situation back then."

"So you've lost confidence in yourself?"

Soshyan didn't answer, just silently finished the red ant cow in his hand.

Talos shook his head with a smile and said:

"The Soshyan I know, just when he became the Chapter Master, he was going to challenge the well-known Black Heart King, and then he was going to find the Chaos Warlord for trouble. He has gone through hundreds of battles, big and small, and he relied on more than just divine power."

As he said that, Talos raised the red ant cow in his hand and chuckled.

"Look, there's also the guy who invented this. He's just a mortal, but he's not afraid of anything, not even gods and demons. On the battlefield, green skin nests, even Gormo, a first-order commoner, without any divine power, relying on a group of equally unreliable followers, a band of snakes and rats, scurrying around, but still safe and sound. Thinking about it now, it's quite amazing?"

Soshyan lowered his head and stared at the very comical red ant cow icon on the can with its thumb up, and suddenly smiled.

"You're right, I don't even have as much courage and confidence as Rozeim now. Yes, Soshyan Alexey can still defeat his opponents even without relying on the power of the Ruin, that's right. That's right."

After a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, brother."

"You were just disturbed by the sudden changes. I always believe that you are you, the unique Soshyan Alexey."

Soshyan was very moved, but the two of them didn't need to say so many polite words.

"So what are your thoughts and plans next?"

"If you don't want to be led by the nose by them, you have to find another way. At this point, I have to admit that the Eldar line may be the safest. We still have to start with Asuryan and Isha to find a way to solve the Ruin and free Xerses. He is more suitable for certain responsibilities than I am."

"It's good that you have a plan. I will always stand by your side."

As he said that, Talos patted Soshyan on the shoulder.

"As long as you can be who you want to be, I will be very happy and fight alongside you in any situation."

Soshyan nodded.

"Sorry to worry you. I can't talk about these things with Veronica or Viletz either. I don't want them to be worried."

"By the way, there's another situation. Amnak didn't bring you back alone, at least that's what he said."

"Oh?"

"Call him over yourself."

Soshyan then summoned Amnak, but after seeing the faint scars remaining on the other's skin, his first sentence was not an inquiry.

"Thank you for this time, Amnak. The scene must have been very chaotic at the time."

Amnak, with his arms crossed, leaned against the wall and said with a smile:

"I wanted to solve the Silent King, but he was using a false body, a speaking puppet, and he also brought a lot of guards. They were indeed difficult to deal with. I couldn't take you away alone."

Before Soshyan could ask, he had already brought up the topic and said a name that surprised Soshyan even more.

"Corax took me and you away from that world."

"Huh?"

Soshyan was indeed shocked.

"He? Why?"

Amnak grinned.

"Do you think he would explain it to me? But you can guess, after all, someone must have asked him to come to this remote place."

Soshyan's mind immediately jumped to the candlelit Lei Shi(Lei Shi: thunder stone) Church.

"Where did he go after that?"

"I don't know. He just took us directly to a outpost on the edge of the Alama star system, oh, the one where you catch people, still in the warehouse, and then disappeared. I asked the people inside to contact Talos as soon as possible. By the way, the Nova-class ship that took us there is gone, smashed to pieces by the Necrons. I don't know what the situation is with the Eldar fleet."

Talos then took over the conversation.

"The people in the outpost have been dealt with."

After listening, Soshyan analyzed in his mind and roughly guessed that the Changer of Ways probably knew that he might encounter trouble, so he sent Corax to assist, but this one is still in a state of refusing contact, and probably only takes action when he thinks he should.

"Okay, at least we now know that there is a powerful ally in the dark, and the Necrons also know it, so they will also be wary of their actions. But without the restraint of the Flayer Curse, it is estimated that the Menak Dynasty will launch an attack soon."

Amnak suddenly said softly:

"Maybe not. Your last blow seemed to have injured the two tomb ships of Menak as well."

"Tomb ships?"

Soshyan blinked.

"Are you sure?"

"If my eyes are not mistaken, based on its size compared to the nearby Necron ships, it should be a tomb ship."

"It's really two tomb ships."

Soshyan looked at Talos beside him.

"Brother, your prediction is right, this trouble is not small. Before, we even used the Eternal Court's naval flagship to fight a tomb ship, but obviously we can't use the Court's power to support us here. The Avista can't be exposed, and the Randall can still be explained, but the Queen of Glory is completely unexplainable, and the Nason system also needs ships to protect it. This battle... is going to be difficult."

"First, we have to determine what the goal of the battle is, to defend the Amala star system, or to defeat the Menak Dynasty and recover Orpheus."

Soshyan shook his head.

"It is no longer possible to recover Orpheus. We can't afford the cost. We can only try our best to protect the remaining small half of Orpheus."

"If we are only limited to holding Amala, then even if we repel Menak's attack this time, they will definitely have another time. The war will become a war of attrition and consumption, like the Great Diocese, becoming a continuous bleeding wound."
