I'm in Warhammer, please don't praise Doraemon

Chapter 28: The Worm of Hades
Above the endless industrial clouds of the Hive City, on the top of this city made of steel and chaos,

Deep inside the Governor's ancient spire palace, Augustus Flax slowly opened his eyes on the soft sofa covered with red velvet.

Next to him lay a bottle of Quartis's golden red wine.
The cork had been pulled out, and the priceless scarlet wine flowed out of the bottle and was absorbed by the blood-red velvet sofa.

Augustus Flax burped and looked at the ceiling with a gorgeous crystal chandelier in confusion.

A long night of hangover can't erase the pain of nightmares.
That nightmare cannot be erased.

Augustus Flax thought blankly,
No amount of wine, singing, dancing, or pleasure could dispel the nightmare.

No matter how many tricks, calculations, and spies, they can't see through the nightmare,

No matter how many armies, soldiers, or weapons there are, they cannot stop that nightmare.

That nightmare has haunted Augustus Flax since he was still a young 17-year-old.

In order to expel the nightmare, he built a lot of buildings, recruited private soldiers, and even took in illegal psychics who escaped from the black ship.
But as I got older, the shadow of that nightmare became thicker and thicker.

It lurked in the haze of the streets of the Lower Hive, stretching out its four ferocious claws, waiting for Augustus to fall from the highest point of the hive and fall into its ferocious mouthparts.

From that time on, Augustus almost no longer cared about the nest, or rather, he did not dare to care about the nest.

He used all his strength to focus on protecting his own safety
The lights were psychedelic, as if taking Augustus Flax back to his youth.
It also reminded him of his brother, Tiberius Flax, the Hades worm.

"Tiberius, my brother."

"Tiberius, the worm of Hades."

Augustus Flax muttered to himself.

When he was a child, he was the only son and sole legal heir of the House of Flax.
His family ruled this planet in the long past, and he will eventually become the governor of this planet.

At that time, Augustus Flax was confident that he could fulfill the duties of governor better than any of his predecessors. He was wise and diligent enough.

But everything changes when his parents return from an intergalactic trade meeting.

Augustus Flax's mother gave birth to a child for their family.
Tiberius Augustus, his brother, his blood brother,
But he was born with four arms and sharp claws, as weird and disgusting as a mutant.

But Augustus' parents turned a blind eye to this and instead gave all their love to this deformed mutant child.

He even announced that he would replace Augustus and become the new heir to the family.

But what Augustus could not bear was not jealousy, but fear.

He vaguely realized what a monster his blood relative was;

He saw his parents many times taking guests to visit the newborn brother.

The guests never showed up again, and even the guards and servants in the palace often disappeared.

His parents turned a blind eye to the monster and instead began to train him to control the politics of the entire planet.
Augustus was terrified, afraid that he would disappear like the guests, servants, and guards.

He found a few trustworthy guards, and with their help, he won the support of the nobles and launched a rebellion against his parents and that monster brother.

Blood flowed in the Governor's Palace,
His blade pierced the chests of his corrupted parents,
But his deformed brother, the monster, the beast, the worm, escaped,

It must have fled deep into the city, hiding in the shadows of the lower nest or even the bottom nest.
There are often rumors of disappearances and strange things in the lower nest of the city of Ferdia.

Augustus Flax's brother, the monster who shared his blood
Tiberius Augustus, it received a new name, "the worm of Hades".

Augustus curled up his old body like a restless child on the wet sofa, sobbing softly and fearfully.

Tiberius will take revenge on him, soon, very soon.
At this moment, a data tablet he had placed on the table next to the sofa suddenly lit up.
He stretched out his trembling skinny arms and picked up the data tablet from the table.

After a complex series of passwords, keys, and inquiries, Augustus was convinced that the man on the other side of the data pad was not corrupted.

"Ignace Calcas's notebook was not found." said the person on the other side of the data board.

"Tell me, specifically." Augustus asked in a low and dry voice.

The data board told Augustus the details.
"He lied to you! That scavenger from the lower nest lied to you!"

Augustus said in a sharp voice, which showed uncontrollable anger.

He could tell that the scavenger was lying just from the sound coming from the data board.

He must have found the book!

"He found it, but he knew what was in that book!"

"I guess he destroyed or hid the notebook!"

After venting his anger for a while, Augustus lowered his head and said weakly:

"Tell him I'm willing to pay double the amount."

"If he doesn't want to give it to me, then forget it. I didn't have any hope for that book anyway."

"Or rather, I have already given up hope on everything."

Augustus leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes tightly.

Like an old man waiting for death to come at the next moment,
He opened his eyes and looked at the data pad.
"Old man, you better be careful."

"Two of our men were assassinated by Tiberius' assassins. You may be killed soon too."

He said dryly across the dataslate.

"Isn't it the same for you?" The man on the other side of the datapad said mercilessly, "We are almost there, and the curse is always there."

"But the Emperor taught us to confront corruption with faith."

Augustus smiled dryly and ignored the old man's offense to the governor.

The data board immediately cut off the connection, and silence returned to Augustus's luxurious and spacious room.

Augustus curled up again, hugged his legs, and trembled with anxiety.

Xiachao, the new base of the Ark Gang,
The Ark Gang, under the leadership of the leader, conquered this region.
The leader now occupies the former gang's stronghold and is gradually beginning to rule the surrounding neighborhoods.

Many Ark Gang members wearing linen robes and with flame-tipped spaceships painted on their faces came in and out.

They are busy and hardworking, like a group of worker bees.

Zhou Yun, wearing a linen robe and with Rag's face, walked into the stronghold.
