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

Chapter 275 A Joker is Still a Joker

After sending the message, the two awaited a response.

A minute passed, and Isabella waited patiently for the clown, her face showing the excitement of her impending escape.

Two minutes, three minutes, four minutes…

Ten minutes later, Isabella's smile became somewhat forced.

Twenty minutes later, the clown still hadn't appeared.

Isabella's smug smile vanished, replaced by fawning.

"Um... just pretend I was talking in my sleep before. I'm going to go and direct the technician kid to repair the psionic engine."

Isabella's obsequiousness and subsequent servility were laughable.

Li Nuo suddenly turned his head to look at the corner of the command platform, staring at the transparent light and shadow there.

Isabella noticed the orc's movements and looked over as well.

As the two watched, the light and shadow shifted and blurred, and countless bubbles, like shards of glass, gathered together and coalesced into colorful human-shaped objects.

When the light faded, the humanoid figure came into view, which was a clown dressed in an exaggerated theatrical costume.

It is said that the color scheme of a clown's costume can represent the troupe he belongs to.

The clown in front of me is dressed in yellow and blue.

Li Nuo had not studied this kind of knowledge before his time travel, so he did not recognize the troupe to which the clown belonged.

"Isabella, have you finally decided to accept our invitation?"

The clown's gaze fell on Li Nuo:
"Or do you simply want me to rescue you from these orcs?"

The clown stands with his hands behind his back, his legs spread apart at a 120-degree angle, his heels together, and the toes of his shoes curving upwards.

The mask concealed his true appearance and expression.

The clown's fake smile was so exaggerated it was almost creepy, as if he were about to plunge a dagger into his enemy's neck at any moment.

When the clown spoke, he looked at Li Nuo, but he was only talking to Isabella, giving the impression that he didn't take the orcs seriously.

Li Nuo wasn't sure if this was just the clown's eccentric style, or if the other party really had the ability to overturn all the Palu kids.

When Isabella saw the clown appear, her fawning expression vanished, and a joyful and confident smile returned to her face:

“Great, Osden, I’m willing to join you. Let’s get you out of here quickly. I’ve had enough of these greens.”

The clown named Osden took out a device resembling a pocket watch and fired a scanning beam at Isabella:
"You don't look too good. Your genetic mask is missing, your genetic fragments are disordered, and your clumsy genetic manipulation almost turned you into a green skin. Okay, okay, I'll take you away now. After all, we like you."

Isabella strode forward, then suddenly stopped, looking warily at Li Nuo:
Why didn't you stop me?

Li Nuo stood with his arms crossed, remaining calm and composed throughout.

“I told you a long time ago, you can leave, but don’t modify your own genetic code. You can follow the bean sprout, no problem. But if you modify your own genetic code, you’re dead. Try it if you don’t believe me, and if you die, don’t blame me.”

The orcs' intense confidence made Isabella feel a chill.

The clown Osden stood with his hands behind his back, tiptoed, and his smile on his mask became even more exaggerated:

"Greenskins, are you provoking us?"

"So what if it is?" Li Nuo's gaze was cold.

Osden moved slowly around Li Nuo with the steps of a ballerina, his voice tinged with a hint of mockery:
“I admit that your destruction of Comoros took us by surprise. I also admit that your army of greenskins did pose some threat to the troupe. But don’t forget, we are the clowns who walk in the shadows and behind the scenes, skilled at taking the heads of enemy leaders from the midst of a vast army. And most importantly, we never act alone.”

"Snap." A crisp sound rang out from the sky.

The green electric light illuminating the command post was shattered, and the light on the command post suddenly became dim.

"Den."

Another crisp sound.

A beam of light shot from above at an angle, forming a pillar that enveloped Osden.

A delicate, melodious female voice rang out, as if reciting a narration to herself:

"The brave Osden was determined to rescue the Eldar from the Greenskins. His opponents were a powerful, savage, and disciplined group of Greenskins. The Greenskins would not let Osden take his prisoners so easily. Osden did not back down in the face of the Greenskins' coercion."

Where did the narration and background music come from?
Li Nuo was slightly taken aback, his gaze darting around.

Below the command platform, Palu, who was fiddling with the psionic engine, was startled.

They swarmed up, ready to support their leader.

This scene gave the narrator a new inspiration.

"The greenskins couldn't wait to teach Osden a lesson. They brandished their chainswords and bomb guns, just waiting for their leader's order..."

The narrator's voice came from all directions, making it difficult to pinpoint her exact location.

She also seems to have mastered some kind of extremely advanced stealth technology, making it impossible to track her movements using only the naked eye, a sixth sense, or a spotting device.

Li Nuo rummaged in his pocket, took out a green crystal, held it in his hand, and plugged it into a power source.

"Sizzle s ...————"

Green crystal emits strong light when exposed to an electric current.

Tens of thousands of different light spectrums illuminated the command platform, making the scene as lively as a disco.

This thing is "Gao Ge's Gaze," a polarized revealing crystal that forcibly breaks through the invisibility state by stimulating tens of thousands of kinds of light.

Since creating this device six months ago, Li Nuo has placed one on each of his important simulation subjects, always ready to deal with invisible characters.

As the ever-changing light shone out, several figures covered with mosaic patterns appeared on the wall not far away.

They were swept out by the colorful light and were clearly panicked.

"Damn it, how could that green-skinned creature have such a powerful anti-stealth device?"

"I haven't even made my appearance yet!?"

"Should we run away, or continue the act?"

Li Nuo tried to distinguish the voices of these people.

There were four people on the other side. The voices of three of them did not match the voice of the narrator. So the one who was not speaking must be the female narrator, Douya.

acting?

What play are they acting in?

Did they get my permission to put on a show on my turf?

Li Nuo was too lazy to argue with these narcissistic, arrogant, and self-righteous bean sprouts, so he just unleashed a few brain freeze spells.

Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding!
Including Osden, the five bean sprouts on the scene were all stunned, inevitably falling into a state of mental blankness.

By the time they came to their senses, they had already been bound hand and foot by the green-clad men and fixed to the terracotta steel pillar.

The five bean sprouts were stunned, and cried out in shock and fear.

"what's the situation?"

Why was I tied up?

"Greenskins, what have you done to us?"

"My mask, is my mask still there?"

Li Nuo stood with his arms crossed, five meters in front of Hua Douya, next to a distraught Isabella.

Li Nuo had heard that the mask was the lifeblood of Hua Douya.

Removing their masks would be tantamount to completely antagonizing the bean sprout community.

So Li Nuo only had the boys tie up the bean sprouts, without removing their masks.

To be honest, Hua Douya's physical fitness and fighting ability are really formidable.

When Li Nuo had the boys tie up the bean sprouts, he discovered that they could avoid being tied up by instinctive physical reactions while in a state of mental paralysis.

This phenomenon is extremely rare and has only been observed in bean sprouts.

In addition, the physical defense of the bean sprouts is quite terrifying.

Chains made of plastic steel and ceramic steel granules will break due to the bean sprout's instinctive muscle reaction when tightened. Only chains made of ceramic steel can barely withstand the bean sprout's muscle force.

If Li Nuo hadn't wanted to avoid war with the bean sprouts, he would have really wanted to study their gene fragments.

Unfortunately, his forbearance and concessions led Hua Douya to mistakenly believe that there was still a chance to turn the situation around.

"Greenskins, let us go!"

"You're playing with fire!"

"The troupe leader won't let you get away with this!"

Three bean sprouts were shouting, while two other bean sprouts were secretly working together.

With their nimble hands, they dismantled the chains where the green-skinned men couldn't see, waiting to break free and teach the green-skinned men a lesson.

Li Nuo glanced sideways at the dejected Isabella:

"You're the one who caused this mess, so you'd better figure out how to fix it."

"Sigh, maybe I should send another message and ask the troupe leader to come forward."

Isabella felt uneasy; she wasn't sure if the troupe leader could handle the orc in front of her.

The opponent's mental energy, which could cause people to be stunned, was truly bizarre.

"No need to send a telegram, I'm already here."

A woman's voice came from the ceiling.

A tall figure dressed in a yellow and blue theatrical costume leaped down, a silver light flashing in his hand.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

With a flash of silver light, the ceramic steel chain binding the bean sprouts snapped.

The figure and the chain landed at the same time, stopping right in front of Li Nuo.

She wore a dark blue trench coat, her helmet had a layer of red horsehair on it, and the smile on her mask had a hint of madness.

She stood with her hands on her hips, twisting her neck as if warming up, her tone arrogant and frivolous:

"You can't handle me with just psychic powers. Let me take Isabella away, or I'll beat you up first and then take her away."

Li Nuo remained unmoved and calmly said:
"She can leave at any time, but she cannot undergo genetic modification surgery. Also, I want to see the person in charge of your gods. I want to ask about the method to avoid the annihilation of the timeline."

"Timeline annihilation? You know quite a lot, but sorry, we refuse your request."

As soon as the troupe leader finished speaking, a surge of psionic energy came from a distant place.

The troupe leader stopped twisting his neck and listened intently, as if communicating with someone.

After half a minute, she scanned the orc up and down with a scrutinizing gaze:
"Alright, I've changed my mind. The master will allow you to come with us to the Black Library. She'll meet you there. As for Isabella, she can't become one of us without genetic modification. Let her work for you for now. Contact us when you want to release her. So, what do you say?"

The troupe leader, with his left foot forward and right foot back, bowed with his hand on his chest to show goodwill.

The five clowns behind her paused for a moment, then reluctantly bowed to the green-skinned man, even though they didn't understand why the troupe leader was doing so.

Li Nuo lowered his arms from his chest and nodded:

“I accept your offer. Take me to see the person in charge. Isabella won’t stay with me for long. She can leave whenever she’s repaired my five Hearts of Fire.”

"Really?" A glimmer of hope ignited in Isabella's eyes.

"Absolutely true. Lead the way."

Li Nuo told the boys to scatter and go about their business.

A portal opened on the command platform, leading to the black door of the Black Library.

Li Nuo followed Hua Douya into the house, leaving Isabella behind to direct the boys' work.

The dizzying sensation that followed the portal lasted only a very short time, and in the blink of an eye, Li Nuo arrived at the Web Path space where the Black Library was located.

Here, he saw a figure that he recognized quite well.

Elena.

This female Eldar is extremely powerful; she can open a portal directly to the Webway in the Warp with her bare hands.

Li Nuo seriously doubted that she could completely overwhelm Luo Jia, who had thrown the mud.

Based on the troupe leader's previous description, Elena is the person in charge of the Spirit Clan gods.

It's just unknown which spirit god she supports.

"You may all leave. Let me speak with him alone."

Elena wore battle armor, the Bagua runes on her chest glowing faintly, with the black and white fish on them slowly rotating.

"Yes, my lord."

The clown in the yellow and blue opera costume turned into a phantom and left the place.

Elena leaned back and knelt down, where a crystal chair, outlined by silver psionic light, steadily supported her.

She sat cross-legged on the crystal chair, her arms resting on the armrests, like a queen:
"Please find a place to sit. There's not much good food or wine here, so please excuse us."

Li Nuo simply sat down cross-legged, bringing his line of sight to the other person's.

Elena said:

“I have a habit of observing the Web Path. I discovered you the first time you set foot on the Web Path. Your discipline and efficiency far surpass those of ordinary orcs, your social operation efficiency is several times that of the Ulanor orcs, and you have also mastered advanced genetic technology and the genetic templates of ancient orcs. In my opinion, it was only a matter of time before you realized the uniqueness of this world.”

Elena tapped the armrest with her fingertips:
"Listen carefully, I can help you avoid the annihilation of the sub-universe of the Rebellion Era, but I have one request: help me drive away the emperor of this sub-universe and his offspring."

"... "

Li Nuo remained silent for a moment.

how to say…

After witnessing the Emperor's outrageous demands, Elena's requests seemed reasonable.

She only asked that the emperor and his children be driven away, not that they be eliminated.

This request is far more reliable than eliminating the "God Emperor who is suspected to be an evil god in disguise".

Li Nuo was silent for a few seconds before speaking:
“We talked to the Weasel before. He also made a request. He wanted us to go to the Apostate Era Sub-Universe and kill the God Emperor. He believes that the God Emperor is an imposter, the Chaos Evil God.”

"Heh." Elena chuckled, her words dripping with sarcasm:

"Did he also say that he possessed all the power of the Dark Lord, but couldn't spare the power to kill the God-Emperor of the Apostate Era sub-universe because he had to protect this sub-universe? Do you believe these words?"

Li Nuo shrugged:

"I don't really believe it, but it seems I have no choice but to believe it. I've never seen the true god, only a demigod who called himself Angela. Angela told me that the Emperor possessed the power of the Dark Lord, but because of the sub-universe, he was able to maintain his human form."

Elena wasn't surprised by Angela's name; she simply raised her chin and said:

"I can tell you very clearly. The Emperor truly possesses the full power of the Dark Lord. He can maintain his human form because he firmly believes he is human, which is why the Age of Rebellion exists; it is a prerequisite for the Age of Rebellion's existence."

"If the emperors of this era could not firmly believe that they were human, then the era of rebellion would not exist."

“By banishing him and his offspring to the Apostate Age and the End Age, we can create a large number of demigods for the human empires of these two ages, allowing them to stand on equal footing with the four Chaos Gods.”

Li Nuosi nodded thoughtfully:
"But the question is, if the Emperor goes to the Apostate Era and the End Era, can he still control the power of the Dark Lord?"

Elena shook her head:

“He can’t control it. When he reaches the Apostate Era and the End Era, even if he only has a tiny bit of the power of the Dark Lord, he will immediately lose himself and ascend to become the Dark Lord. At that time, the Chaos faction will have another evil god.”

"So what are you going to do?" Li Nuo asked.

Elena said:

"It's very simple. The Emperor's offspring took their warp essence to the other two eras, but the Emperor left his warp essence—that is, the power of the Dark Lord—permanently in the Rebellion era."

"In this way, the Emperor can lead his demigod offspring to fight in the other two eras as a human."

"What we need to do is simply seal the power of the Dark Lord, preventing it from leaving the era of rebellion and ultimately annihilating it along with this era. In this way, we can prevent the birth of a fifth Chaos God and end the operation of the Chaos Octagon."

Li Nuo raised an eyebrow, unable to help but admire inwardly:
"good idea."
