I'm in Warhammer, I just want to grow mushrooms

Chapter 272 The Warhammer Universe Splits into Three: Rebellion, Apostasy, and the End
More than an hour later, on the edge of the Goraon sector.

The Black Tooth Fleet outmaneuvered the Ulano Fleet by traveling at near-light speed.

The sealing progress is about 20% complete.

The beast was responsible for looking after Angron, injecting him with anesthetic at regular intervals to prevent him from waking up.

Li Nuo possessed Big Black Fang and commanded the fleet to head towards the Network Node.

When the charging progress reached 90%, an even stronger psionic fluctuation emanated from Angron.

The beast exclaimed in surprise:
"Boss, look! Angron is transforming!"

Li Nuo glanced to the side and was clearly taken aback.

Angron's size is shrinking at a rate visible to the naked eye.

His muscles, skin, organs, bones, and other parts were shrinking in sync; there was no muscle atrophy, but the bones remained unchanged.

Even more surprisingly, Anglong became younger, and his skin's luster changed from rough to smooth and delicate, as if he were rejuvenating.

The sealing technique's panel shows no abnormalities, indicating that this is a normal phenomenon when sealing the essence of the subspace.

Next, let's look at Anglon's nervous system.

The scan results from the diagnostic tool showed that his injuries were still very serious, and his paralysis from the neck down remained unchanged.

"That's strange. Why didn't Rejuvenation heal Angron's injuries?"

Li Nuo scratched his head, unable to understand what was going on for a moment, and could only silently wait for the seal to be completed.

About ten minutes later, the sealing progress reached 100%, and the fleet entered the network channel.

Another half hour passed, and the fleet arrived at the forward base via the network node.

After thinking for a moment, Li Nuo decided not to disassemble Angron into parts as he had done when interrogating Cole Fallon and Irebas before.

He had the boy in excruciating pain bring an amniotic fluid container and soaked Angron completely in it.

Research into the nature of subspace has officially begun.

Various testing equipment were deployed to comprehensively obtain physiological changes of Angron, and then gene samples were collected for gene analysis.

The above two steps lasted for fifteen days, during which Li Nuo obtained a series of incredible data.

First, according to the bone age calculation method commonly used by the human empire, Angron's current bone age is 12 years old.

That's right, 12 years old.

Moreover, his bone age will not change at all over time, remaining fixed at 12 years old.

Secondly, four brain tissues in Anglong—the amygdala, prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate cortex, hippocampus, and hypothalamus—are in an active state.

The anesthetic components have no effect on them.

In other words, on the surface, Angron appears to be in a state of anesthesia and unconsciousness, but in reality, his emotional perception and processing abilities are still functioning; it's just that his sensory and motor nerves are paralyzed.

Of these four brain structures, the amygdala is the most unique, containing extremely strong psionic fluctuations.

The psionic readings of the amygdala's epidermis reached the alpha level.

At a distance of 1 millimeter from the amygdala, the psionic reading suddenly drops to the picosecond level, meaning there is no psionic fluctuation.

This was the first time Li Nuo had ever seen such a phenomenon.

In terms of gene samples, the experimental data is just as bizarre as that of the amygdala.

Angron's genetic sample was unremarkable, no different from that of a normal 12-year-old Terra boy.

Some kind of psychic energy, or a more mysterious power than psychic energy, has obscured the true genetic sample.

Li Nuo determined that this was not the Bloodling's genetic mask, so the only possible cause was the amygdala.

After examining Angron's physiology and genes, Lino summoned Isabella to examine Angron's soul code.

"Who is this?" Isabella crossed her arms and paced around the amniotic sac, looking curiously at the sleeping human boy.

Li Nuo initially wanted to conceal Anglong's identity, but then he thought that when the soul code surfaced, Isabella would naturally know the boy's origins, so it would be better to reveal the truth now to avoid Isabella asking him questions.

"This is the Primarch of the Twelfth Legion of the Imperium of Man—Angron."

Li Nuo said frankly.

Isabella clearly didn't believe it:

"Are you kidding me? I've seen that clumsy, big-headed Angron in the Bloodlings' monkey encyclopedia before. If you say this boy is Angron, then I might as well say I'm the Supreme Prophet."

"Believe it or not." Li Nuo waved his hand, signaling the technician to shove the instrument into Isabella's hand. "Start reading the soul code."

Isabella, holding the instrument, saw Li Nuo's confident assertion and began to believe him to some extent.
"Is he really Angron?"

"Replacement guaranteed."

Isabella swallowed, somewhat embarrassed:

“If he really is Angron, I cannot read his soul code.”

"Why?" Li Nuo frowned.

Isabella spread her hands and said:

"He's the Primarch, the demigod of the monkeys. I'm just an ordinary Eldar, how could I possibly read the soul code of a demigod?"

"A demigod?" Li Nuo frowned even more deeply.

Isabella placed the instrument on the table and gestured with her chin toward the boy:

"The ancient sages created races such as lizardmen, spirits, monkeys, and orcs."

"The Ancient Ones' concept for the Lizardmen was extreme materialism, intended to replace the Star Gods and maintain the physical order of the real universe. This plan was abandoned because the Ancient Ones were defeated in the War of Heaven."

"In order to control the energy of the warp and maintain the Web, the ancient saints created the Eldar, endowed them with extremely high psychic abilities, and taught them to build the Web and the Ark."

"The Ancient Ones created the Orcs with the intention of turning you into pioneers and combatants in the real universe, to expand the territory of the Ancient Ones' kingdom. But before the Ancient Orcs were perfected, the Ancient Ones were defeated in the War of Heaven."

"The ancient sages created monkeys, which you call shrimps, to manage the ancient sages' kingdoms in the real universe."

"In the ancient sages' plan to create monkeys, one step was to create 21 demigods and 1 chief god for the monkeys. The chief god is the current emperor of the human empire, and the 21 demigods are the emperor's 21 genetic archetypes."

Isabella settled in for a moment:
"The 21 demigods each have their own duties and are in charge of a certain aspect of human society. As for what Angron's divine duties are, I don't know."

Li Nuosi pondered and asked:

"What level of soul is Angron?"

"First-class." Isabella emphasized.
"A first-class soul, no doubt. All those who can be called true gods and demigods are first-class souls. As long as their warp essence is not completely annihilated, they can be reborn and create clones in the real universe."

"I see." Li Nuo looked at the sleeping boy, vaguely feeling as if he had taken on a hot potato.

“If you ask me, you might as well stop the anesthetic injection and talk to him directly,” Isabella said, pointing to the IV tubing.
“A demigod cannot be bound by this kind of material-level potion. He's staying asleep, probably because he doesn't want to scare you. You can take it as him trying to be friendly.” A minute ago, Li Nuo definitely wouldn't have believed Isabella's words.

But after hearing Isabella's description of the demigods, it was hard for Li Nuo not to believe it.

"Remove the anesthesia tube."

At Li Nuo's command, the boy in excruciating pain stopped receiving the anesthetic injection.

Half a minute later, the boy in the amniotic fluid tank slowly woke up.

He remained calm, showing no irritability, rage, panic, or fear, simply watching the orcs and black bean sprouts outside the jar.

After a long while, the boy spoke, his voice very soft, but everyone present could hear what he was saying:
“Angron is a stigma imposed on me by the Chaos Demons. My real name is Angora.”

“Angela…” Li Nuo murmured.

Isabella stepped forward and asked:
“Angron, uh, no, I should call you Angela. Aren’t you supposed to be a big, burly man? How did you turn into a child?”

"Someone helped me retrieve a part of my warp essence from the warp, allowing me to undergo a primal transformation."

Angela's gaze shifted from Isabella to Lino:
"You must be the one who helped me retrieve a portion of the essence of the warp. Thank you. I owe you a favor."

Isabella looked at Li Nuo in astonishment:
"You have this kind of ability? If those Ark Eldar guys found out, wouldn't they go crazy and come begging to you for help?!"

Li Nuo glanced at the astonished Isabella, but said nothing.

It's not bad to have a demigod owe you a favor.

But this is not the point.

The key question is, why did Angela say that he had retrieved "a portion" of the subspace's essence?

Could it be that the sealing technique has a bug?
Li Nuo was somewhat puzzled and asked:
"Why was only a 'part' of the warp essence retrieved? Where is the other part? Was it stolen by the Chaos Demons?"

"You're right, it was indeed stolen by the Chaos Demon."

Angela first nodded, then shook her head:
"However, it's not the Chaos Demon of this era, but Khorne of the 41st Millennium of the Human Empire. The four directions are called the universe, and the past and present are called the cosmos. Our universe has been divided into three parts. We are currently in the first part, while the 41st Millennium is in the third part. Reclaiming the remaining part of the warp essence will not be an easy task. I would like to ask for your help."

Angela's words left Lino and Isabella stunned.

Li Nuo raised his hands and waved them repeatedly:

"Wait, wait, what did you just say? Our universe has been split into three universes?"

"Hmm...you didn't know? I thought you could help me retrieve the essence of the warp, so you should know this very well."

Angela blinked, her cute face showing confusion; she hardly looked like a bloodthirsty madman.

"Okay. Let me explain."

Angela said:
"Please answer one question for me first: Have you heard of this prophecy?"

"Let me tell you the truth: He is Alpha and Omega, the perfect cycle of beginning and end, the master of flesh and machine."

"He will become the brightest light in the darkest hour, the exorcist of ignorance, and the mentor of the blind believers."

"He will be the object of loyalty and devotion, and he will bring the blessings of the empire and the happiness that humanity prays for."

"A devastating war is inevitable, and peace is like the lingering echo of the past. Conflict, strife, and bloodshed ensu, the galaxy burns fiercely in the flames of war, and the empire crumbles in lamentation."

"You must work together and treat him as a brother. Only in this way can the boundaries of the galaxy be united."

Li Nuo and Isabella nodded in unison, having learned of the prophecy in advance through their respective channels.

Angela continued:
"Our universe has been divided into three universes: the Age of Rebellion, the Age of Apostasy, and the Age of the End, which correspond to the 30th and 31st millennium, the 36th and 37th millennium, and the 41st millennium, respectively."

"You can think of these three universes as independent spacetimes."

"Take the era of rebellion we are in now as an example."

"It begins in the 964th year of the 30th millennium, the third day after the destruction of the Perfect City, and ends in the last second of the 31st millennium..."

Angela details the timeline settings of the three sub-universes to help Lino and Isabella understand them.

Li Nuo knew more about the Rebellion Era and the End Era, but was somewhat unfamiliar with the Apostate Era.

Isabella's situation was even worse.

She learned the general direction of the Age of Rebellion from the Eldar prophets, but was completely clueless about the Age of Apostasy and the Age of the End.

Half an hour later, after confirming that the two understood the concept of sub-universes, Angela continued:

"If a person lived from 964.M30 to the 41st millennium, then there would be a mirror image of this person in each of the three universes."

"But there are exceptions, namely the five Chaos Gods in this world, who can choose which sub-universe to stay in."

"Khorne was the first Chaos God to be born, and He chose to remain in the End Era sub-universe."

"Tzeentch was the second Chaos God to be born, and he took root in the sub-universe during the Apostate Era."

"Nurgle and Slaanesh were the third and fourth Chaos Gods to be born, respectively, and they chose to remain in the End Age sub-universe."

"The only one who chose to remain in the era of rebellion was the fifth Chaos God - the Dark Lord, also known as the Emperor."

"What?!" Li Nuo's body trembled, and he took three steps forward in disbelief:
"What did you say?! The emperor of our time is the Dark Lord?!"

"Yes. He is the Dark Lord, the fifth true god of chaos. I don't know exactly what happened in the End Age, but I am certain that the Emperor eventually abandoned his physical body and became a true god of chaos."

Angela softened her tone and reassured him:
"However, you don't need to worry too much. Although the Emperor has become the Dark Lord, he can maintain his human identity in the Rebellion Era sub-universe. As long as he doesn't want to become a god, he can avoid becoming the Dark Lord. In the other two sub-universes, he is fixed on the Golden Throne and cannot move freely, which may be the reason why he chose to come to our sub-universe."

"The Horus rebellion..." Li Nuo felt his mouth go dry.

Angela said:

"From the moment the Emperor chose to remain in the Age of Rebellion, the Horus Rebellion was destined never to happen."

"The true forms of the four great enemies of chaos are not even in our universe."

"At most, some of their great demons exist here."

"On the other hand, the Emperor himself was in charge of the Age of Rebellion. It is no exaggeration to say that he alone could completely wipe out all the Chaos Demons of the Age of Rebellion."

Li Nuo was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Angela's words were so far-fetched that Li Nuo didn't even have the thought of doubting them.

The idea of ​​the universe splitting into three has never appeared in the Warhammer canon, but it perfectly explains why the Warhammer world I live in is so strange.

The degree of logical consistency made it impossible for Li Nuo to have any desire to doubt it.

He composed himself and asked:

"Since the Emperor possesses such great power, why didn't he directly eliminate all the hostile aliens and chaos demons of the Rebellion Era?"

Angela was silent for a few seconds, took a slight breath, and her expression became complicated:
“Father…Father wants to save all his children.”
