Warhammer: Emperor's Ravenbringer

Chapter 2 Seeking cooperation
"Yes, I come from another universe. The universe is vast and boundless. Your universe is not the only one. As a traveler, I have the ability to travel between different universes."

Raven explained, looking up and opening his mouth.

In an instant, rays of light burst out from its mouth.

The beams of light intertwined in the air, forming countless pictures.

Some images are clear and bright, playing like a movie.

Some scenes are so intricate that they not only have multiple shots, but they also jump from time to time and keep going back to the beginning of the playback.

This is because the timeline of most universes is one-dimensional, and when it is presented, it keeps moving forward, just like in a movie.

The timelines of some universes are multidimensional, not only forming multiple parallel time and space, but also able to travel through the past and the future.

When it is displayed, it will appear very confusing.

"The wonders of the universe are beyond your imagination. As long as you are willing to cooperate, I can help you travel to other universes and gain the power and knowledge of those universes."

The Emperor asked, "What can you get? You can't tell me that you don't want anything."

"When you change the predetermined fate of those universes, the universes themselves will emit unique original power, and I feed on the original power." Raven explained: "This is a mutually beneficial transaction, no one will suffer."

"I don't cooperate with things of unknown origin." The emperor refused again.

"That's not what you said when you teamed up with the Four Gods to steal the secrets and origins of Chaos."

Raven's words made the emperor, whose expression had never changed, look a little solemn.

"How do you know this?"

The raven shut up, the light stopped gushing out, and the many images disappeared.

"Everything that has ever happened will leave traces in the universe, and I have the ability to read these traces. When I enter this universe, I begin to receive information from this universe."

"You entered the Warp on Mordor and struck a deal with the Four Chaos Gods. With their help, you stole the power and knowledge of Chaos to achieve your own goals. You also deceived them, and they are now furious with you."

The Emperor looked at the raven in front of him and narrowed his eyes slightly.

There is no trace of warp corruption on the opponent's body, so he should not be a creature from the warp.

As for the other party's claim to be a traveler and the universe, it remains to be verified.

Waldo on the side looked around, the halberd in his hand had been activated, and a bright arc of light enveloped the sharp halberd tip.

He was using the helmet's perception module and his own keen senses to search for an invisible target.

When the Emperor touched the strange sculpture, it turned into light and disappeared.

The Emperor then began to mutter to himself and drew his sword with the intention of attacking something.

Waldo was nearby but saw nothing.

No matter how hard he tried to search, he found nothing.

"What happened? Who is His Majesty talking to?"

"Who are the enemies? Those evil gods?"

"Where are they? I can't see anything."

Waldo raised his halberd and looked around, feeling confused.

Looking at the emperor talking to the air, he felt confused and powerless.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?"

The Emperor came out of his reverie and looked towards Valdor.

"I am fine."

"Then why are you talking to yourself?" Waldo asked with concern, "Do you need me to call a doctor to check you out?"

The Emperor glanced at Valdor, then at the raven that was moving back and forth in the air.

"Can not you see?"

"What is that?" Waldo looked around, but he saw nothing.

"He can't see mine. Only recognized people or those who have the permission of the protagonist of destiny can see me. This is a protection mechanism for the protagonist of destiny, ensuring that the transaction will not be known to third parties."

Raven paused for a moment and added.

"Of course, you are not in this category. After all, there are few people in the real universe who can defeat you, but this protection mechanism is still effective."

The Emperor asked, "Can he see it?"

"Of course, if you want."

The Emperor nodded, "Let him see it."

Waldo, who was confused, saw a raven appear out of thin air in front of him.

And greeted him in a friendly manner.

"Hey, Waldo, respected commander of the Imperial Guards, would you like to go to the dock together to get some French fries?"

Waldo didn't hesitate for a second. His movements were so fast that only his shadow could be seen.

The halberd in his hand instantly pointed at Raven.

Protecting the Emperor is not the duty of the Custodes, it is their raison d'être.

Valdor would never allow any danger to get close to the Emperor.

"That's so rude. I invited you to get some fries in a friendly way, and you treat me like this?"

The raven gave an exaggerated expression of sadness.

Waldo was not moved at all, "Devil, get out of this world."

"Valdor." The Emperor pressed down Valdor's halberd. "It is not a demon."

"It is deceiving you." Valdor said, "Your Majesty, the demons of the Warp are always good at deceiving."

"I can see that it bears no trace of the corruption of Chaos," said the Emperor.

Seeing the Emperor's resolute attitude, Valdor put away his weapon.

The Emperor looked back at the Raven: "You said you could help me travel to other universes and gain power and knowledge. How can you guarantee that this is not a trap?"

"I can't give you a definite guarantee, but this is your only chance to win." Raven said, "The Primarch you used to anchor the new warriors has been stolen by the gods, but you still haven't given up and are still carrying out the plan in secret."

Waldo's eyes widened. This matter was top secret and few people knew about it.

The raven in front of him could say it easily.

If the other party was sent by those evil gods, I am afraid that everything they did could not be hidden from the other party's eyes.

"I can tell you very clearly that the Primarchs you created are not dead. They are scattered all over the place, experiencing the trials of fate. When you launch your conquest of the starry sky, they will return to your side."

The emperor looked at the raven in front of him and became more and more silent.

The other party knows too much.

“You have planned a beautiful future for mankind, but you are doomed to fail. Because no matter how hard people try, they cannot change the direction of their fate.”

"Everything you do is heading towards a predetermined destiny. You have the ability to predict the future. You should be able to see many futures, and most of them are dark and desperate."

"In the end, you will lose everything. The empire you worked so hard to build, the imperial guards you trained yourself, the friends who have always helped you, and the human beings you have always wanted to protect. In the end, they will just die a slow death."

"You're being alarmist," Waldo said.

"Am I really exaggerating?" The raven smiled. "You should ask the king you are loyal to whether he thinks my words are lies? Or do you simply not believe in his power and foresight?"

The Emperor said nothing.

This is considered to be tacit agreement with Raven's statement.

Fighting against the gods is far from being as easy as imagined.

If we fail, the fate of mankind will be extremely dark, and there will be only war and no salvation.

Waldo stared at the raven, tightly gripping the halberd in his hand, revealing his murderous intent without disguising it.

The raven was still walking in the air, without any tension.

He knew that Valdor would not take action without the Emperor's order.

The Custodians will never question the Emperor, nor disobey his orders.

Waldo is the perfect embodiment of this iron rule.

"If you are willing, I will send you to the first trial world. When you complete the task, you will be able to return with a reward. I guarantee that the reward you get will be of great help to your plan."

Valdor looked at the Emperor, and from his expression, he knew that he was considering what he had said.

"Your Majesty, don't believe its sweet words. What if this is a trap? If you can't come back, all our plans will be in vain."

Raven said: "Even if I am a liar, Terra has been unified. Even if the Emperor leaves, this place will become the new budding place of human civilization."

"You haven't even mastered the complete webway technology. If something goes wrong, all of humanity will be doomed. Instead of throwing everything at the table like a gambler, it's better to give up. At least the situation won't get worse."

All of the Emperor's plans are based on the Webway.

Whether it is the unification of Terra, the Primarchs, or the Great Crusade, they are all just means, not the ultimate goal.

The ultimate goal of the Emperor's series of plans is to enable humans to travel at faster-than-light speeds without risk and to isolate the webway of the subspace.

The Emperor and Valdor heard what the raven said.

They were usually calm and composed, but now their expressions changed.

The matter of the Webway is top secret, and only three people in the entire empire know the entire plan.

"Only from outside the universe can you gain the power and knowledge to change this universe. If you are willing to cooperate, I can also help you obtain complete webway technology in other universes."

"I need a day to replenish the energy needed to travel through the universe. You can think about it and give me an accurate reply at this time tomorrow."

After the raven finished speaking, it disappeared with a bang and turned into a ball of white mist.
