Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 224 Armor
"How am I supposed to explain this to you monkeys!"

The Prophet saw the future of two Grey Knights.

What he saw in the future even overwhelmed his hatred for Qin Xia and others for destroying the Ark World.

Because he understood that when the thread of fate began to collapse, it would not just be the Ark World that would be affected.

"You have explained it very clearly, Prophet." Qin Xia walked up to the Prophet, "You don't need to explain anything more. I understand, and I know this will not lead to any consequences."

"You can see the future of the two Grey Knights from the thread of fate, which in itself proves that they are not outliers."

As he spoke, Qin Xia stretched out his hand, and with his palm filled with spiritual power, he gently patted the prophet's head.

"You gave a good reminder."

"Your reward is to return your soul to the Throne of Pleasure."

Qin Xia uttered words that made the prophet's soul tremble.

With a sharp roar of "No!!!", Qin Xia's spiritual power penetrated the prophet's soul and extracted the ornament that could protect his soul.

All the souls in the accessory called the Torment Circuit dissipated, and the prophet's soul also lost its protection.

The humans present felt nothing, but the prophet had already seen the approach of the terrible god in his psychic vision.

A purple god appeared.

He had a kind smile on his face and waved at the prophet, as if to say, "Come back, my child."

The connection between the Eldar individuals and Slaanesh forms a path, and the Prophet follows this path to approach Slaanesh.

An Eldar living in a soul stone does not mean immortality, because a soul with a weak will cannot retain self-awareness like the tenacious souls of the ancient ancestors of the Eldar, but will dissipate and merge.

If an Eldar does not return to the Soul Stone after death, he will gain eternal life.

Eternal life in the arms of Slaanesh.

Enduring never-ending torture, dying in torture over and over again, and then waking up to find that the death just now was nothing more than an extremely sweet dream.

The Prophet's soul ran uncontrollably towards Slaanesh, even though the Prophet did not want to.

In the arms of Slaanesh he saw his ancient and corrupt ancestors.

There were countless of them, all of them Eldar individuals who had died in the destruction brought about by the birth of Slaanesh.

The prophet saw the torture they were enduring. Every method of that torture would be enough to frighten the humans who had just fought with them to the point of cardiac arrest if they were seen by them.

Soon some chains came from all directions and were tied to the prophet's facial features and bones. A torture device appeared under his feet. The chains were hung on the torture device and kept stretching around.

The prophet howled in pain and begged.

But his howls were soon drowned out by the insults of his fellow countrymen. He saw a warrior who was killed by his own hands. The warrior was ridden on the neck by a Slaanesh demon. Every muscle was separated from the skin, like pulled out threads, and was held in the demon's hands.

The devil controlled the warrior to pull the torture instruments that bound the prophet, while the warrior cursed the prophet in pain.

But this insignificant torture is not even a connection ritual. It is merely equivalent to Slaanesh telling this weak creature bound to itself that you have come to the realm of Slaanesh.

Qin Xia and the others could not see what the prophet experienced. All they could see was the prophet's soul gradually dissipating, until it was as if it had never existed.

Slaanesh is not a god of mankind, and is not forcibly bound to humans in souls and concepts.

If humans create some kind of evil god in the future, then their souls will return to the arms of that evil god after death.

However, although Qin Xia did not see what the prophet saw, Qin Xia knew what would happen.

So he thought it was a good thing for humans to have an emperor.

"Haha."

As everyone stared at the place where the prophet had just been, Varis suddenly laughed.

Hearing the laughter, everyone thought that Varis was laughing because he had won.

Qin Xia was just about to praise Varis.

But Varis was not a man who liked to show off. He smiled and said, "This damn prophet kept talking about monkeys, destiny and prophecy, as if he was a visionary, but in fact he was the most short-sighted."

"He didn't even think carefully about whether he could handle so many of us. He just took a weird creation, sacrificed his compatriots, and then rushed over to be killed."

After saying this, Varis laughed again, and everyone else present also found it funny.

"He's crazy."

Olena said.

Oulina and Qin Xia were the only two people who didn't laugh out loud. They both looked at the ground, thinking about something.

"He was driven mad by the prophecy, just like most people in the Thuntar Craftworld. The decent Great Prophet is a minority after all."

"Now the Craft World has been destroyed by us. No, to be more precise, it was destroyed by the greenskins. However, we destroyed it indirectly. The separation of the soul core and a part of the infinite circuit has made the entire Craft World irreparable."

"Now that I think about it, their prophecy did come true, even though they were the ones who caused it."

Listening to what Orina said, Qin Xia found it hard not to agree. He felt that if the Thuntar Ark World did not jump out to assassinate Angron.

In other words, if they jump out to assassinate Angron and fail, they will just stop and do whatever they want, and then they will not be destroyed.

Because Angron didn't know which Ark World wanted to kill him.

Even Qin Xia only knew about the existence of the Thuntar Ark World and that the Ark World assassinated Angron, and he knew no other information.

If the people of this Ark world were a little lazier, a little cowardly, and a little afraid of death, they would not end up being destroyed.

“I think this incident is also a revelation to us.”

Oulina suddenly spoke again, looking at Qin Xia, her intention clearly revealed.

"I have to admit that prophecy is a very powerful ability. It is a power that almost everyone wants to have, because it is a power that can help people avoid disasters."

"But we still can't rely too much on predictions."

"We must not believe in prophecies so completely that we think they are an established fact and resort to all means to avoid their fulfillment, just like the Eldar did."

Oulina kept looking at Qin Xia while saying these words.

The think tanks all cast dissatisfied glances at Orina, because this woman was making a completely unfounded and unreasonable accusation against the Lord of the White Knight.

But what Oulina said did make sense, Qin Xia admitted.

Qin Xia still remembered some things he had told them, such as his lofty ideals and preventing a catastrophe that would happen in the future. This was his ideal, his goal, and what he wanted to accomplish with his life.

"My ability to predict the future is not that strong. I can only see a short period of time in the future, such as a few seconds later or a few minutes ago."

Qin Xia said.

"Also, the future I'm talking about is not the node formed by countless threads of fate, nor is it the countless nodes on the web of fate that represent every possible direction of the future. It is not a prophecy."

"But you are right, this incident is a revelation." Olena nodded.

Qin Xia turned and left.

……

On board the White Knight.

In the quadrant's exclusive laboratory.

Two Grey Knights were lying on hospital beds, bound by an energy device. The quadrants sometimes surrounded the two Grey Knights and sometimes quickly moved to the side of an instrument.

In this paradise that belongs exclusively to him, he can control everything and dominate everything.

Qin Xia sat not far away where he would not be in the way.

He waited for the results of the Quadrant's examination of the Grey Knights, while examining an item he had just received from the Prophet.

Something called the Torment Circuit.

The souls in the torment circuit had been dispersed by him. This was why the prophet was completely unable to resist in the end. Although this thing was extremely evil and was obviously an item provided by the dark relatives of the Ark Eldar, Qin Xia felt that this thing was magical and some of its functions were useful to him.

For example, the function of binding the soul into it.

"Do you really want to use this evil alien creation?"

Such a question suddenly emerged in Qin Xia's mind.

Then he felt that this was the kind of question... the kind of question an Imperial inquisitor or disciplinarian would ask a suspected heretic.

After coming to this universe for so long, Qin Xia found that he had inevitably been assimilated to some extent.

Because he found that some things really need attention, and if some things are not so extreme, the result will not be that the contradiction will not continue to intensify, but a tragic result.

Qin Xia quickly came up with his own solution for this thing called the Torment Circuit, which was to study the structure of this thing used to capture souls and then copy it.

He needs to capture souls.

As for other functions, it doesn’t matter.

“Is a demon a kind of spirit?”

While Qin Xia was thinking, Quadrant suddenly came over and asked a strange question.

However, Qin Xia still thought about it very seriously and carefully, and then gave an answer that he thought was extremely appropriate.

"Demons are not a kind of soul, there is no doubt about that, but considering the inseparable relationship between the warp and the soul, if you must say that demons are a kind of ghost, then the only argument I can think of is that they can have a physical body."

After hearing Qin Xia's answer, Quadrant fell into deep thought. After thinking very seriously, Quadrant finally made up his mind to ask Qin Xia a question.

"The Imperial Truth says that there is no supernatural thing in this world, so what happened today proves that the Imperial Truth is a lie, right?" asked Quadrant.

"Yes, there is no doubt that the Imperial Truth is a lie." Qin Xia answered very straightforwardly.

The Quadrant's mechanical body even trembled.

What Qin Xia said now was enough to get him executed by the empire.

Qin Xia continued, "But when the truth is harmful, we have to hide it. After all, as a real creature, what we need is not the truth, but survival, even if it means surviving like pigs and dogs."

"Then why did you tell us about the existence of demons?" asked Quadrant.

"Because you are within my sight, you are the ones I can save, and you are the ones I have the energy to care about." Qin Xia replied.

Quadrant nodded slowly and did not continue discussing the demons. He pointed to the two Grey Knights and said, "I have examined them thoroughly."

Qin Xia immediately stood up and walked towards the Grey Knights.

"Their internal organs have not suffered any serious lesions. It's just that due to the previous injuries and staying in the extreme environment of the subspace for too long, some functional disorders have occurred."

"As for their madness, I think it's their physiological function protecting them. They must have seen something extremely horrible, so horrible that they find it unacceptable, and they instinctively find it unacceptable."

"So much so that their bodies, in order to protect them, drive them into an irrational madness to avoid continuing to observe those terrible things in the outside world."

Hearing this, Qin Xia was a little surprised. He pointed at the Grey Knights and said, "Something that they find unacceptable? These religious fanatics actually have things that they cannot accept. I think this thing itself is unacceptable."

"Life is sacred and inscrutable," said Quadrant.

Qin Xia didn't continue the conversation. He slowly walked to the two Gray Knights, stood between the two operating beds and looked at them.

As for the two Gray Knights, Qin Xia couldn't remember whether he had any intersection with them before he went to somewhere on the front line.

He just remembered that the two Grey Knights were his escorts.

But Qin Xia was still impressed by their heroic performance in battle.

In any case, these two people protected themselves, Qin Xia thought.

So Qin Xia had no way of really helping them both. He couldn't do it when he knew they could still be saved.

"What did you go through?" Qin Xia asked the two gray knights who were still not fully awake.

The two grey knights did not respond, but just stared straight ahead. When Qin Xia followed their gaze, he found that they were staring at the armor.

That's the Grey Knight's armor.

The Grey Knights' armor contains fragments of the Emperor's armor.

This seemed like just a rumor to others, but when Qin Xia joined the Grey Knights he discovered that it was true.

In a sense, the Grey Knights are the Emperor's own sons. Although their gene-seeds may not come from the Emperor himself, their treatment definitely reflects this.

Since the two Gray Knights had not yet woken up, Qin Xia stopped asking questions and just looked at the two sets of armor silently.

After a while, Quadrant suddenly came over and placed two halberds next to the two sets of armor.

"The sailors found it in the wreckage," said Quadrant.

Qin Xia nodded.

"The sailors also found these." Quadrant raised his hand, and Qin Xia saw some fragments in his hand, fragments of armor.

Fragments of Grey Knight armor.

Qin Xia frowned.

The Gray Knight on his left suddenly raised his hand, his neck slowly turned like a robot, and his empty and numb eyes fell on Qin Xia's face.

"armor."

The Grey Knight's dry lips trembled, and dry words came out from them.

"yours."
