Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 457 Interference Principle
Above the curtain of the real universe, the fate of real creatures is entangled in a "whole" that cannot be described in words.

The great eye in the Warp stared at the veil.

As a being in the warp, even if the Giant Eye is the essence of Angron, it still makes people feel unreasonable panic and fear, as well as horror that penetrates deep into the soul.

Angron sensed Kang's speculation about what the Emperor had done and what he had planned to do in order to make the decision to incorporate these beings of the Warp into his greatest creation.

With the help of Qin Xia's characteristics, the power of the observer penetrated into the curtain, and Angron's essence cooperated with Qin Xia's characteristics to pierce through the fog of the gods.

Only then did the two of them know what the fog that Salum mentioned was.

That's a little trick.

The Chaos Gods have no way to influence the Veil, but they can interfere with the fate of a real creature. Combined with some sleight of hand puzzles, they can make it impossible for Qin Xia or Angron to discern the fate of Erebus or Kor Phaeron under normal circumstances.

It does not mean that the eyes cannot see, but that what is seen is not real.

The abilities of Qin Xia and Angron, which have been balanced by the observer, can directly filter out those unreal realities.

"Observe Erebus first."

"it is good."

Qin Xia and Angron saw Erebus's past.

Since Angron wanted to see the past of the "evil" Erebus when he had the thought, the fate presented to the two was not the fate of the current Erebus.

Qin Xia saw a bastard who was doing all kinds of evil. The bastard bit the midwife's finger when he was born.

From then until he became an adult, he continued to cheat and do all kinds of evil things, just like collecting stamps.

A born bad guy kept doing bad things until he met a "child of other people's family" as the adults called him. This kind-hearted child named Erebus was always well-received for his various pious and kind behaviors and became famous.

One day, the born bad guy planned to kill Erebus, whose personality was completely opposite to his own, and replace him.

The two met by chance in the desert.

Erebas was ambushed by the Bad Seed, and then just as Erebas had said before, he killed the Bad Seed back. The reason why he was able to kill the Bad Seed back was not because his small universe suddenly exploded, but a ray of azure light bursting out from his body, which filled him with strength and enabled him to control the dagger through the air and stab it into the Bad Seed's throat.

"Jianqi." Qin Xia said.

"I thought it was like the Emperor saving Arvida, with a flash of golden light saving Erebus." Angron was very surprised, "But why would the God of Chaos help someone who will inevitably fight against them?"

Watcher Kang watched the scene on the thread of fate, fell into deep thought, and finally said bluntly: "Tzeentch doesn't care whether those who are beneficial to Chaos can survive. Tzeentch cares about change, as long as he can trigger a series of changes, even if it benefits others and hurts himself."

The thread of fate continues to flow.

The thread that was accurately found continued to flow. If there was no observer, Qin Xia and Angron would have to watch countless threads of fate.

There was even a bad guy who wanted to replace Erebus, but he slipped and killed himself on the stone. This is not the past, but if you don’t have the predictive ability like Curze, the past that has happened will have to be found from countless possibilities.

“So Erebus is definitely innocent?” Angron said.

"Not necessarily." Qin Xia speculated, "The soul of that bad guy has not disappeared. He might be brought out to cause trouble again one day. But it is certain that at least this kind version of Erebus is normal."

Angron nodded and used the viewer to investigate Kor Phaeron.

In Kor Phaeron's past, observers saw more details.

For example, some ancient books show that a holy war for the right of interpretation took place on Colchis, and the sect that believed in the Chaos God Mascot was completely exterminated and burned.

This is why the native religion of Colchis that Kor Phaeron came into contact with had no traces of Chaos.

Then there are some of Kor Phaeron's growth experiences. It can be seen that this guy is not as kind and righteous as he seems. He is quite bad, but he can pretend and act.

In general, it is the life trajectory of a bad person who is good at disguising himself, and it has nothing to do with chaos.

"Kor Phaeron doesn't have a past that we haven't yet uncovered. He's normal now, but we can't rule out the possibility that he'll be lured by Chaos in the future," Kang concluded.

Angron silently put down the viewer, looking very disappointed.

"If the gods can tamper with the past of the real universe and thus change the present and the future, then what is the meaning of what we are doing now?"

The Primarch asked about his adoptive father and Kang.

"Like me, if a demon went back in time and blew up the amniotic fluid tank on Nuceria, wouldn't I be dead?"

"What if, as Sarum said, a Khorne Daemon went back in time and turned Khârn or Kil into murderous maniacs? Then in the future they will really fall into Chaos and turn everything I built to defend humanity into Khorne's minions?"

"The past and the future are being manipulated and played with by them. Isn't our current resistance just a desperate struggle?"

Angron was confused and angry.

"I don't mean to say anything discouraging. I just want to explain the facts I have seen. The fact is that Erebus and Kor Phaeron are now innocent people. Perhaps they are all pawns reserved by Tzeentch, but now we have no reason to kill them. We don't even know whether they will become reserved pawns."

After hearing what the Primarch said, Watcher Kang looked at Qin Xia.

Qin Xia and the robed man exchanged glances, then looked at Angron: "I only talked about the future before, and didn't tell you in detail some theoretical things." "The gods can't just control the past. Do you think they are omnipotent?" Kang spread his hands. "Even if they want to infuse power into the real universe, they need real creatures to act as spies. How can they control the past?"

"The gods' interference in the fate of Kor Phaeron and Erebus is actually due to two basic conditions of Colchis."

"First, as a religious world, the spiritual power of the Colchis people is very strong, and the structure of reality has been greatly weakened."

"Second, there were still remnants of Chaos faith in Colchis at that time. Those people had been engaged in sacrifices in dark corners for hundreds of years just to summon the power of the gods and let them avenge the holy war hundreds of years ago. As a result, Tzeentch used the power accumulated by the ritual to change the lives of two people."

Qin Xia took over from Kang to explain the theoretical knowledge.

"If you want to be able to change a person's fate at will, the real universe must be filled with eyes of fear and rotten like a sieve."

"The veil is the guarantee of survival for creatures in our reality. No matter how powerful the gods are, they cannot easily penetrate the veil. As for why, I don't know, but that's the truth anyway."

Angron considered the Veil, then the Eye of Terror in the real universe.

The Primarch felt that if the veil could not be easily breached, and the Chaos Gods had to go to great lengths to change the fate of both men, then this cause against Chaos actually had a chance of success.

However, due to his habit of thinking things through, Angron couldn't help but think about what to do if the real universe was rotten like his adoptive father said.

"Are there other universes in the Warp? Is there any way for us to travel to other universes?" Angron asked.

"There is a method that has been lost. The ancient saint's tome treasured by my clan describes the experience of an ancient saint in other universes."

When mentioning the ancient saints, the robed man spoke in a low and solemn voice, without any of the usual humor that was in stark contrast to the style of the Watchers.

"At that time, the Warp was calm, allowing the Old Ones to travel freely."

"It took the ancient saints tens of thousands of years to finally find a way to travel through the universe. They went to a different universe and found that there were humans, greenskins who had not yet been shaped, and the Eldar... and then those people played rugby in that universe."

"Although the journey through the universe cost the souls of those brave explorers, they at least saw and recorded a different world."

Hearing this, the Primarch suddenly laughed.

He thought Kang was joking... What the hell, greenskins and humans playing rugby in the same universe?

But Kang was deadly serious.

“Wait, you are serious.” Angron frowned.

"Why do you think this is a joke?" Kang asked back.

The Primarch looked towards his adoptive father.

Qin Xia nodded solemnly - he was extremely sure that what Kang said was the truth.

"We have nowhere to retreat. This real universe is our only home. We have to fight against chaos. We don't seek to destroy it, but to expel it from the real universe," Kang said.

“We’ve figured out what’s going on with Erebus and Kor Phaeron.” Angron thought Kang was going to say something grandiose, so he quickly changed the subject. “At least we know what’s going on with Erebus. We don’t have to guess.”

Qin Xia picked up Kang, held Angron's shoulders, and the three of them passed through the curtain and returned to the real universe.

……

Angron and Qin Xia opened their eyes and saw Lorgar sitting on the chair in front of them.

Angron was not surprised at all, because just now when his soul was in the warp, he sensed Lorgar approaching his body, and he did not do anything but just sat there and waited obediently.

"Brother." Lorgar spoke only after seeing the two men wake up. "We need to discuss setting up a supply station. The other participating legions have already assembled and will arrive at the front soon."

It's just this little thing.

Lorgar could have arranged for someone, not even a Space Marine, just a mortal to run over and say something.

But he still wanted to come here in person to talk to the brothers he just met.

And when he had said this, Lorgar saluted Angron, and when his brother returned the salute, he smiled and walked out of the room and went to the command deck.

“I don’t know if I should say this… I think Lorgar is a pretty good person.” Angron said to his adoptive father using his psychic power.

"He is indeed a good person." Qin Xia did not deny it. "If I had not saved you from being nailed in Nuceria, then Lorgar would be the only Primarch who cared about you. However, his concern would lead to a more terrible ending."

Lorgar is not inherently evil.

Being weak and easily fanatical are not the biggest problems.

"He is not firm and is unwilling to persist. This is his problem. He does not firmly believe in anything. Maybe he looks very pious and determined... no matter how the emperor warns him, he just won't change. He gives people the impression that he is very stubborn, but in fact he is not that firm." Qin Xia said.

"The Emperor is also to blame for the bombing of Perfect City." Angron frowned and thought, and suddenly thought of a terrible thing, "Father, do you think the Emperor will let us destroy Perfect City in the future?"

"That's really not the case." Qin Xia laughed, "You, that's... no matter how likely something is to happen, you have to consider it before you can feel at ease. Sometimes this is an advantage, but sometimes people will sigh that you think too much."
