Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 216 Self-End
The visitor led the humans into the portal.

Qin Xia took a look at the vortex-shaped portal and could not sense any danger. He did not activate his prophetic ability that he would definitely use when facing danger, so after judging that the portal was absolutely safe, he walked into it.

The prophet gnashed his teeth as he watched Qin Xia pass by him, then treated him as dust on the side of the road, not even looking at him... The contempt from humans always made this elf prophet furious.

But a sense of fear helped the prophet to curb his rage.

Qin Xia was the first to step into the portal, followed by Quadrant, Brown, the Orina sisters, and the think tanks.

These people look diverse, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they are human beings, and when they passed by the prophet, they didn't even look at the prophet, as if the prophet had nothing to do with the current events and was just a decoration.

"Hey."

The newcomer was the last one to step into the portal, and he turned back to call for the prophet as he stepped into the vortex.

The prophet stared and turned to look.

"Use your prophetic ability to help those warriors and contribute to preventing the Craft World from being burned, killed and looted by the Orks." The visitor said to the prophet.

The prophet immediately became dissatisfied and obviously had no intention of carrying out the order.

"This is the order of the great prophet." The visitor said, turned around and continued walking.

Upon hearing this, the prophet's anger caused a psychic howl around his body, but he still rushed to deal with the greenskins and did not disobey the orders of the so-called "Great Prophet".

Walking in the swirling portal, Brown looked around.

The stone man can observe an object from many aspects other than vision and hearing.

To its senses, this place is like the inside of a kaleidoscope, but the pattern inside the kaleidoscope is just monotonous arcs that continuously spiral forward, which does not look beautiful.

Even if we analyze this place at a more detailed level, it is also a kaleidoscope.

Time and space seemed to be twisted together and stretched by some force.

"Don't you think it's strange?" Brown said as he walked. "We were just about to destroy this Craft World, but now we are following our enemies in such a strange place."

"We have to meet the Great Prophet no matter what, whether we are going to assassinate him or have other purposes..." Librarian Varis said in a deep voice, "This place is too huge. It's a good thing that someone comes to help us find the enemy's ruler."

Hearing this, Brown neither denied nor confirmed it, but looked at Qin Xia who was walking in front.

Brown felt that Qin Xia might have known something before he came.

For example, those mysterious psychic communications, inter-galactic psychic messages, super prophecies or something else.

While Brown was thinking this, Qin Xia, who was following behind the visitor, gripped his spear tightly, and all the functions in the power armor were ready to go.

This shows that Qin Xia is ready to fight. No matter what the purpose of this mysterious visitor and the so-called Great Prophet is, and what they want to do, Qin Xia just wants to take advantage of the situation and shoot the Great Prophet, adding fuel to the terrible situation of this Ark World through decapitation.

Well, he just has to take it one step at a time, Brown thought helplessly.

The spiral route inside the portal has come to an end.

Qin Xia and the visitor walked out of the portal, and what they and the people behind them saw was not the magnificent Eldar palace as they had imagined, but a dark and gloomy prison.

Humans originally could not tell the purpose of the Eldar's buildings, but as intelligent races, they always had some things in common, such as things made of unknown materials that looked like iron bars, and the prisoners who were imprisoned and looking at the outside world.

At the bottom of the prison, in a room with only walls, the Eldar aliens were packed into it.

The aliens stared nervously at the Eldar alien who was sitting alone on the floor in the room. He was the focus of everyone's attention. He was an Eldar with a handsome appearance.

The Eldar are always handsome and beautiful, so the handsomeness of the alien sitting on the ground is relative to its kind.

"Great Prophet." The newcomer led the humans who had just walked out of the portal forward and saluted to his fellow humans sitting on the floor. "I have brought the guests."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Eldar present made way for him. These aliens looked extremely nervous and kept their eyes on the Great Prophet sitting in the empty cell.

Even if Qin Xia didn't know what this group of aliens were up to, he could tell that the Great Prophet had now become the backbone of this Ark World.

"Thank you." The great prophet said, and then made a gesture of invitation.

The newcomer looked at the humans.

Everyone except Qin Xia looked at Qin Xia, waiting for his reaction.

"Is this the Great Prophet?" Qin Xia looked along the straight passage made by the aliens and looked at the handsome alien in the cell. "I think it looks like a prisoner."

"I was once a prisoner." The Great Prophet said in human language, "A solar hour ago. Before and after that 'once', I was the savior of the entire Craft World and the hope in the eyes of my people."

The great prophet stood up from the ground and walked towards Qin Xia.

His steps attracted the attention of all the aliens present.

Qin Xia could see that the Great Prophet was a little weak, because after taking two steps, he covered his chest with his hands and slowed down his pace involuntarily.

The visitor immediately stepped forward and wanted to help the Great Prophet, but the Great Prophet smiled and shook his head: "Don't help me, visitor. My life is just like this Ark World, it will not last long."

“Its name is The Visitor?” Brown laughed. “Whoever named it must have been extremely lazy.”

"Names are just definitions given by others." The Great Prophet stopped and said softly, "What is important is not the name, but what things and experiences have shaped us in the past, what role we play in the present, and what impact our future fate will have on the web of destiny."

This statement must be the result of many years of insights from the great prophet.

As a discourse composed of sounds, it seems to have substantial influence, creating ripples in the surrounding space and time, and its impact is felt by the people present.

Sister Olena stood behind Qin Xia, looking at the handsome Great Prophet, thinking about what the Great Prophet said, and then expressed their insights in unison: "What bullshit is it talking about?"

Qin Xia turned around and gave the two sisters an expression that said "I don't understand", then turned back to the Great Prophet and said, "I don't care about your nonsense. I only care about a few issues."

The Great Prophet raised his hand slightly and listened with a frown.

Qin Xia had not finished speaking, but the great prophet had already heard all of Qin Xia's questions.

"My name is Destiny," said the Great Prophet.

"That's what my people call me."

"You want to know where I came from, why I'm here, and what I've been through."

"And most importantly, what is my status and dominance in this Ark World, because this involves whether you can solve the constant troubles of your adopted son."

After hearing this, everyone quickly looked at Qin Xia.

Qin Xia did not answer.

The great prophet named Destiny began to narrate.

"From the moment I was born, I discovered that I had a prophetic ability far superior to others. I could directly see the direction of the thread of fate, as well as the countless extensions of the thread of fate along a certain direction."

"Since the moment I was born, many people in this Ark World have suddenly gained the ability to predict the future. The only difference is the distance they can see into the future."

Hearing this, Qin Xia suddenly remembered that there were an outrageous number of prophets in the Thuntar Ark World.

Apparently this is why.

"One day, I predicted that a human named Angron would destroy this Craft World."

"Then, two factions within this Craft World disagreed over this prophecy, which led to a civil war."

"One of the factions believes that since our fate has already come to an end in the prophecy, it means that our end is inevitable. Either we all perish, or we take our eventual demise as our bottom line and try to survive at all costs."

"Another faction believes that since we have the ability to predict and can know danger, we can avoid it."

The Great Prophet said this and looked at the tribesmen around him.

Suddenly raised the voice.

"I am the leader of the second faction. I have helped everyone here, but in the end, everyone I helped chose to stand on the side of my opponent. Then I was locked up. It was not until this Ark World faced another crisis of extinction that they wanted me to step forward and guide them towards survival."

As soon as the great prophet finished speaking, all the elves present lowered their heads.

"So because of a difference in ideas, they betrayed you and let the other faction take the lead." Qin Xia pointed at a spirit tribe member at random, "And now that things have gotten out of hand, they want you to help again?"

The great prophet nodded after hearing this.

Qin Xia's face was uncertain, but he didn't say anything else, because he didn't care about the internal ideological differences of the Ark World.

"My people, the destruction of this Craft World is inevitable." The Great Prophet raised his arms and shouted, "I saw its destruction, and saw the moment when every structure of it gradually collapsed and fell apart."

The Eldar began to whisper. They thought the Great Prophet could turn the tide and change everything, but it turned out that he couldn't. He even pretended that he could, arranging people to do various things, and only now announced that everyone was struggling in vain.

"The unscrupulous and active interference in the prophecy has led us to the desperate situation we are in now."

"We will not be destroyed by the human named Angron. We will only be destroyed while trying to stop him from destroying us, by the Orks we run into head-on in this hellish galaxy."

Having said this, the great prophet slowed down his voice again.

"But at least we still got a relatively good finish."

The Great Prophet looked at Qin Xia and at the other humans behind Qin Xia.

Every human here is prepared to fight the aliens, but until now there is no right time to draw the sword.

"Nothing can be undone." The Great Prophet said to Qin Xia, "We will end our own lives. As you know, our souls will reside in the Soul Stone after the end to avoid falling into the hands of the Dark Prince."

"Soul Stone..." Qin Xia rubbed his chin and thought.

The Soul Stone is an item used by the Eldar to store their souls after death, something that, as the High Prophet himself said, could prevent their souls from falling into the hands of Slaanesh.

This is a method used to prevent the soul from falling into the hands of a terrible evil god, not a resurrection technique to bring the dead back to life.

The preserved souls will be placed in an entity called the Infinite Loop in the Ark World, which can be said to be a kingdom after death.

"This is not a way to evade responsibility." Qin Xia said after thinking for a while, "Angron has never offended any of you. He doesn't even know what the Thuntar Craft World is. But you sent people and hired people to kill him, until you personally brought about your own destruction."

Qin Xia paced slowly, glancing at everyone present. "I can understand that intelligent life would want to eliminate threats in the bud. But Angron didn't even know who wanted to kill him before you showed up the second time. He didn't want to destroy an Ark World that had nothing to do with him. It was your actions that initiated the vendetta and hatred."

The Great Prophet responded calmly: "Those who were determined to destroy Angron, I left them in various places where the Craftworld was attacked. Their end will be utter destruction."

"They also agreed to destroy Angron." Qin Xia slowly raised his hand holding the spear, pointing the spear at the other Eldar present. "You said that these... civilians stood on the side of the other faction, betrayed you, and locked you up."

"Their opinions are irrelevant. Even if they support me, I will still be locked up." The Great Prophet said, "Because those who support the desperate efforts to prevent the prophesied end are the warriors of this Ark World."

Qin Xia was silent.

The Great Prophet continued, "I know you know that there is an infinite loop in the Craft World. When those people are killed by the Orks, I and these people will reunite with our ancestors in the infinite loop. Then the part carrying the infinite loop will break away from the Craft World and drift in the galaxy."

Qin Xia wanted to say something.

The Great Prophet seemed to see that the destruction of the Craft World was imminent, so he became anxious: "This Craft World started the hatred because of the assassination of Angron. Now its complete destruction will stop the hatred. From now on, no one will attack you because of that strange prophecy."

"Because the Thuntar Craftworld will be destroyed!"

"..."

Qin Xia put down his spear and stretched out his hand wrapped in gorgeous arm armor: "Let me sense your brain, and then I will make a decision. Will I let you die with those who are determined to kill Angron, or will you also be killed, but your soul will not fall into the hands of the Dark Prince."

The great prophet immediately stepped forward, grabbed Qin Xia's hands with both hands, and pressed them on his head.

Qin Xia began to sense and then made a decision.

"Let's go to the Infinite Circuit."

I wrote 2,000 words in the morning before the infusion, and another 2,000 in the afternoon. Now I have 4,000 words to publish a chapter.
