Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 375 The Wind is Whistling and the Yishui River is Cold (Please Subscribe)
At this moment, the two primarchs recognized as barbarians in the empire were chatting and laughing in the room, exchanging views and insights. Even Roche felt that he benefited a lot.

Communication brings about debate, and debate brings about understanding.

But compared to Chagatai Khan who saw through everything, Leman Russ, who was trying to get drunk with one cup after another, seemed very depressed.

Due to the physical fitness of the Primarchs, most alcohol and even poisons have no effect on them. Perhaps only the perverted Fenris mead can make the Wolf King feel a little drunk.

His legion suffered heavy losses after a series of wars, and even the White Scars Legion had surpassed them in strength. Russ's heart was tormented by a strong sense of responsibility and guilt. The Wolf King of Fenris was far more gentle and delicate than he appeared.

Rus still held the fragments of the Regicide chess piece in his hand. It was both the Regicide chess piece and Horus.

He must do something to make up for his mistake.

The Wolf King thought of the Spear of Dionysus that the Emperor had once given him, the weapon that made him feel fear and disgust. Perhaps the time had come when he had to use it.

He hated the Spear of Dionysus, for he knew that as long as he held it he would inevitably face off against one of his brothers.

He loves every one of his brothers from the bottom of his heart, although he rarely expresses it out loud.

Khan saw through his brother's thoughts. Rus came to the Sky Eagle to find him not for any reason, but simply to vent his inner distress.

He came to seek his brother's support and understanding, even though this person was Chagatai, with whom he had the greatest enmity.

Luo Xi also did not forget his original purpose. He came here to find the Wolf King to understand Magnus's situation. If he wanted to liberate the Emperor from the Golden Throne, he could not get around Magnus.

"I have something I want to ask you."

"What do you think of Magnus? The more detailed the better."

Khan and Russ did not expect Roshi to suddenly ask such a question. The Chogoris lowered his head in thought and then answered.

"Magnus was my good friend in the past. We shared similar interests and had many topics to discuss in the area of ​​psychic research. However, if I were to evaluate him objectively, I would only say—"

"Magnus is a stupidly good guy, and he also has a huge destructive power."

Chagatai Khan's words were as vicious as ever, even toward his good brother, the Red King of Prospero.

"I used to be troubled by his reckless exploration of the Warp. I also knew that the wizards of Prospero were using the power of the Warp without restriction, and even created a demonic creature called the Guardian Spirit.

He is as naive as a canary in a cage, without any real knowledge of the outside world. He really thinks that the subspace is full of benevolent beings who can discuss the unknown and knowledge with him. "

"I knew what he had done wrong. After meeting Russ and Alpha in the Araxes Nebula, I was determined to find the answer, so I traveled to Prospero, and there I encountered a fragment of Magnus' soul that was shattered by Russ."

"That was a more humble soul of Magnus. Through communicating with him, I realized what was happening to the Empire."

There was sadness in Chagatai Khan's words. He and Magnus were indeed close friends, but when they met again, he had turned into a fragment of his soul.

"It was my mistake. I broke his spine and shattered his soul."

The Wolf King, reeking of alcohol, spoke up and said that it was he who was deceived by Horus, which led him to change from escorting Magnus back to Terra to killing Magnus.

Faced with Leman Russ's self-blame, Chagatai did not say much.

As he had said before, it was impossible to step out of the situation at the time and look at the problem from a detached perspective. At that time, Leman Russ did receive orders from Horus, and no one knew that the Warmaster had betrayed the Empire.

He continued, "The soul of Magnus told me that he deeply regretted what he had done, but it was too late. The mistake had been made and there was no chance for him to turn back."

At the end of the Burning of Prospero, Magnus, who had been planning to surrender himself out of guilt and remorse, could no longer sit idly by and watch his legion and descendants die or be wounded. He stood up to fight Leman Russ, but his spine was broken by the Wolf King.

In order to change the fate of his own destruction and that of his legion, he accepted a deal with an evil god of the Warp at the last minute. That was a being in charge of destiny.

When Leman Russ was about to behead Magnus, the red giant released a psychic spell that was enough to change fate. By sacrificing his own body and shattering his own soul, he dispersed all his power to his offspring, allowing them to perform a large-scale space teleportation.

"Magnus teleported himself and the Thousand Sons to a demonic world within the Eye of Terror—Sorcerer." Jaghatai Khan continued, "Chogoris's Heavenly Path once explored the Warp. That region belongs to the realm of a being called the Lord of Change. Magnus' actions undoubtedly betrayed himself and the Thousand Sons to the Warp."

The Lord of All Changes, Luo Xi has dealt with this being more than once.

In fact, when he began to recall, when he was driving the Red Alert from Istvaan into the subspace, the demon that appeared in the cabin was a follower of the Lord of Change.

He always suspected that he had been observed by the other party for a long time, but for some purpose he did not exert direct influence.

Leman Russ' voice cracked as he recalled the last words Magnus had spoken to him before his body perished and his soul was shattered.

"You are a sharp sword, but you are wielded by the wrong man, my brother."

"You are now cutting the neck of an innocent person, and this will be a shadow that haunts you forever."

Luo Xi couldn't help but hold his breath. Under deception and instigation, the giant wolves and giants fought each other, using their sharp teeth and magic to wield the butcher knives against their blood brothers.

This is the power of the subspace. It does not even require direct intervention to manipulate people's hearts and control brothers who should love each other to kill each other.

What can destroy an empire is never external threats, which only make it stronger. It is the conflicts and wars that erupt from within that can cause an empire to collapse.

"I later encountered the fragment on Prospero, and I asked it how to save my brother - but there was no way, everything was irreversible, so I finally shattered the fragment," said Chagatai.

As Jaghatai Khan said, Magnus is a good man, but he was born a Primarch. He possesses the most powerful psychic power besides the Emperor, but his ignorance will cause him to commit consequences countless times worse than those of ordinary people.

Even if ordinary people want to make mistakes, how wrong can they be? It's just stealing other people's property or murdering others, which is not worth mentioning on the galactic level.

Sometimes making big mistakes is a sign of ability.

"Magnus was not innocent. When he struck at the heart of all the Emperor's plans, even his life could not pay the price. The crimes he committed were hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands times greater than those of Horus."

"If he was a wise man, or a complete fool, it wouldn't have caused such a big impact, but unfortunately he is a little smart and always thinks he is right."

Luo Xi sighed and said that the incident of the Red King was undoubtedly a tragedy, and what they had to do now was to minimize this tragedy as much as possible.

There is still a chance to redeem yourself.

"Magnus' soul has been shattered. Does this mean that he must be eager to reclaim his soul fragments? He cannot accept that he will always be broken. His biggest consciousness fragment must hope that he can become whole."

From the conversation between the two primarchs, Roxi finally found something useful.

The fragment of Magnus' soul is undoubtedly the most attractive thing to the rebellious Primarch.

If they could find the soul fragment that Magnus was looking for, then there would be a possibility of leading him to the Golden Throne. With a little help from Curze, Roxi couldn't help but slap his thigh, feeling that things were settled.

This time I came to chat with the Wolf King and Khan, and gained a lot.

After knowing what he should do, Luo Xi immediately planned to go back home and find the seal holder to discuss the plan.

At this time, Leman Russ, who was drunk, slowly stood up, and his staggering back left the Sky Eagle under the protection of his loyal Wolf Guards.

Suddenly Chagatai was the only one left in the room. He narrowed his eyes slightly and watched the two people with heavy hearts disappear into the distance. It was obvious that they came here to achieve their own goals.

Roche's plan is obviously related to Magnus, and as for Leman Russ...

The Khan drank a cup of cold tea and immediately felt the chill in his chest reaching his abdomen.

He exhaled the cool air from his mouth, and the long breath outlined a strange and ancient tone.

"The wind is whistling and the Yi River is cold. It seems that my brother wants to follow the example of the ancients."
