Warhammer 40 A New Hope

"You brothers have such a good relationship." (Zhang Yi)

"Don't worry my little brother (put Magnus down), I can give you a hug too."

"Don't come over here! I refuse to be hugged by a man! And if you hug me, my bones will definitely fall apart!"

Looking at the scene below, the emperor on the golden throne remained silent.

[Malcador, if I had listened to you... Never mind...]

[It's meaningless now, isn't it? ]

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Magnus was pulled back half successfully - he was promoted to a demon, and his soul was still in Tzeentch's hands.

This problem can only be solved by the emperor. At least at this stage, Zhang Yi can't help much.

Then, because Liu Maoxing from the world of Little Chef went to Yangquan Restaurant for further studies, Zhang Yi took Vulkan and others to other worlds to find a fast food restaurant and bought some food to satisfy their hunger - the Primarchs had become picky eaters.

"Our little brother left a portion for you. It's not a delicacy, but it's not bad." Vulcan handed two bags of McDonalds to Magnus and said. "Whatever he asked me to ask, I actually want to know..."

"(Takes the paper bag) What?"

"You should be able to eat chicken like this, right? It's a kind of bird that is domesticated and raised for food."

"...I'm not a fucking bird!"

"What's that behind you?"

"I TM..."

Afterwards, everyone shifted the topic of discussion to Zhang Yi. Magnus seemed to have overestimated the power of the Four Gods because of his ascension to demon status, so much so that he thought that even in the multiverse, those four piles of shit could rank high.

Then...

"Devil! I can feel the devil's presence!" (Doom who wanted to rush into the throne room)

"Master Demon Slayer, that is not an enemy, at least not for now!" (A certain Gray Knight who was holding DOM back from rushing into the throne room)

"Where's the rabbit?! Hurry and bring it here!" (A certain Grey Knight B who was also dragging DOM to prevent him from rushing into the throne room)

Because of DOM's innate ability to suppress all demonic creatures like a natural enemy, our comrade Xiao Ma huddled in the corner of the throne hall and trembled from the moment DOM appeared outside until he was persuaded to leave by servants with rabbits - Zhang Yi even took photos to linger.

"Remember to give me a copy." (Chagatai)

"Delete the photo right now!" (Magnus)

"(Pa!) Only your father can use psychic powers here!" (Emperor)

Even though he was frightened by DOM once, Magnus didn't seem to change his mind. He thought DOM was just an exception.

then...

"Master Ancient One, there is someone very arrogant~"

That day, the worldview of our "My Little Pony" was completely reshaped...

. . . . . .

"Solve the problem of Magnus's missing soul or get his soul back? Why ask me?" (Zhang Yi)

"Besides you, who else here can think of a solution?" (Guilliman)

During the Heresy, Magnus' soul was shattered into many pieces. Although his subordinate Ahriman used various means to help Magnus recover most of the soul fragments, the most important fragment, which represented Magnus' noblest character, had been integrated into the body of a Grey Knight by Malcador and could not be taken out for the time being.

Now, Tzeentch owns Magnus' soul, which means that if this "soft blue creature" wants, he can at least make him incapable of action, if not control him.

If they could somehow separate that piece, at least Magnus wouldn't be completely controlled by Tzeentch.

"Well... kitty, don't take out your cards. You're such a bad player that you can't even beat me. Even if you use [Underworld], I can defeat you with [Galaxy Eyes], so don't expect to win the soul from Tzeentch. He may not pay any attention to you..."

"At this stage, it is not possible to get the soul back from Tzeentch. As for taking that part out... well... something in the hands of a certain power monster is possible, but it is not appropriate to go there at this stage..."

"Both brothers started out at the single universe level...it's never shown in the damn game..."

Also because of the lack of soul, Magnus' temper is somewhat unpredictable at this stage - in simple terms, even he himself can't control it.

"Perhaps, you could use an artificial soul or an external brain to help?"

"Artificial soul? External brain?" Magnus, who likes to explore the unknown and read books, immediately became interested and asked. "What is that?"

"I do have information on artificial souls. Chaldea also has the Einzber family's artificial human technology. I have taken all of it back. As for the external brain, it is unlikely to go to the DND world at this stage. God knows whether AO welcomes people who crawled out of the shit pit..."

"It's probably not welcome. No one can tolerate a pile of shit running around in their home, even if they can clean it up well..."

"Then I can only study it myself based on the settings in the rule book and setting book..."

A large pile of information was brought over by the servants and piled around Zhang Yi. Magnus on the side also began to look through the information under the supervision of the imperial guards.

"Artificial humans? Hmm!" Magnus looked at the history of the Einzber family in his hand and said disdainfully. "It seems that people from other worlds are not that good either."

"I will create a blank artificial soul, and then give you the parts you are currently lacking. Combined with an external brain, it can assist you in your actions at ordinary times, and prevent you from losing your combat ability directly at critical moments..."

"Considering the original body's constitution and a series of other issues, the artificial soul should not be able to drive your body for too long, but it should be enough for now... I think..."

"...I need the android named 'Sieg'. It should be possible to make a few copies of him..."

"Stop, stop, stop. I refuse. I will not destroy anything in other worlds in order to save one world, let alone destroy other worlds." Zhang Yi interrupted Magnus and said. "Don't even think about it."

"He's just an insignificant android in a world, what could go wrong?! It's his honor to sacrifice for the Empire!"

As soon as Magnus' words came out, Zhang Yi's expression turned very ugly - he hated such self-righteous words.

"you..."

"That's enough." The Emperor interrupted the quarrel that was about to begin. "Chagatai, Vulkan, and Guilliman, you three should have other things to do. Let Zhang Yi take you back..."

"I will personally take care of Magnus, and I will find a way to solve his soul problem..."

"Let's all get busy."

As Zhang Yi opened the portal, Vulkan and others returned to their respective areas of responsibility, and Magnus found a place in the hall and began to study the information.

"I've finished delivering it. What should I do next..."

"...I heard you found another..."

"I have to leave first!"

"..."

Watching Zhang Yi hurriedly open the portal and disappear from his sight, the emperor did not stop him, and the entire throne hall fell silent again.

After a long time...

"How long will it take?" the emperor suddenly asked.

"...I don't know." Magnus said in the research. "But, those four will not let the human empire grow. When I was there, I received some news..."

"What are you going to do, Dad?"

"..."

"If we use his power, maybe we can get through this difficult time, just like you did before..."

"This isn't the first time you've done this, just like you did to us..."

"I'm not going to do that..."

"!"

220. Lizardman's Army

"What did you say?!"

The Emperor's answer made Magnus stand up immediately, and the surrounding guards immediately became alert.

"I do not intend to repeat the mistakes of the past," the Emperor said. "I do not intend to be as inhumane as before."

Magnus was extremely shocked because Zhang Yi's change towards his father was greater than he had imagined, and also because of his father's answer.

"You're saying you're not going to be ruthless at this moment? Are you kidding me?" Magnus said loudly. "At this critical moment, father, you..."

"His arrival awakened the few remaining human qualities in me." The Emperor interrupted Magnus. "At the same time, because of his arrival, I also began to reflect on everything I had done before..."

"My successes, my mistakes, my ending..."

"I enjoy myself now. I am much better than the cold and heartless me before..."

"So, I decided that, until my humanity was completely suppressed again, I was not going to do what I did before..."

"Besides, I saw Makado..."

"!"

"Even though I know it wasn't him, but..."

"It's really good to see him again..."

"..."

Magnus didn't know what to say for a moment. The extent to which Zhang Yi's arrival had changed the Emperor was beyond his expectations - he had never seen the Emperor like this before.

"...So what are you going to do?" Magnus asked after a long while. "If we don't use him, it will be hard for the Empire to resist another Chaos invasion..."

"...He has done enough for the Empire..." The Emperor was silent for a while before he spoke slowly. "If that moment really comes, I will let him leave and hide in another world..."

"Now, the human empire has taken root in many worlds. Even if Terra is destroyed, it is not considered a complete loss..."

"Perhaps, it will take tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years, but as long as we are alive, there is hope..."

"At that time, you can also choose to leave together..."

"And I will always be here to witness everything that happened..."

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

2077 World

Zhang Yi, who ran back in time, didn’t know what Magnus and the Emperor said. He only knew that he had avoided a slap in the face.

Then he heard the roar of the Gorgon

"Stay away from me, woman, with the needle in your hand!"

When Zhang Yi hurried over, he found Ling holding a syringe as thick as his arm and confronting a Gorgon whose snake-like hair was all standing on end.

"I just want a little bit of your blood for research." (Zero)

"You call that a little?!" (Gorgon)

"Uh..." (Zhang Yi)

Zhang Yi spent some time to understand what happened during the time he was away - in short, Zero was very interested in Gorgon, a divine creature from another world that possessed a certain divinity and the [Petrifying Magic Eyes], so he wanted to study it.

However, the Mechanicus's research methods are usually... well... they have done things like destructive dissection of isolated pieces...

Gorgon would naturally not let that weird-looking man draw his blood or anything like that. Just look at that needle. Is that a little bit?!

When Zhang Yi came back, Ling was the first to explain to Tai and hoped to get her help. He also said that if something was really researched, it might be used to strengthen Zhang Yi's offspring, or even use the [Petrifying Demon Eye] as a template to create petrifying weapons - if this was really done, it would cause a certain degree of stir in the entire Mechanicus.

"Calm down. I'm scared if you don't talk about him anymore." Zhang Yi stood in front of Gorgon, looking at the various research instruments on Zero's mechanical arms, and said, "I can understand your enthusiasm, but please calm down..."

"You go back first. I...I'll talk to her first."

It took Zhang Yi some effort to send back this [Biological Expert] of the Mechanicus who had wanted to take off his clothes at the first sign of a disagreement, and then...

He was entangled by the Gorgon's snake tail and dragged in front of her.

The Gorgon today is not that huge, only slightly taller than a Space Marine, and Zhang Yi’s physique is no longer the height of an ordinary person as before.

"Listen human, although I need to follow you due to inhibition, it does not mean that you and your people can do whatever you want to me..."

Gorgon was halfway through her words when she suddenly noticed that Zhang Yi, who was being entangled by her, had a strange expression on his face.

"Ah~ The scales on this snake's tail feel cool to the touch, so comfortable~"

Zhang Yi's reaction caught Gorgon off guard (even the snake hair on her head was stunned). The fierce expression on her face disappeared, replaced by a slight blush.

"Um... will your scales fall off?" Zhang Yi also realized that he had been caught touching the Gorgon's tail, and said awkwardly to change the subject. "Hair is also fine."

Then...

Whoosh—bang!

Two Pathfinder Space Marines passing by the door looked at their father, who spiraled out of Gorgon's room like a top and fell to the floor.
