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

Chapter 549 Summoning Magnus (Seeking Tracking)

Sevatar and the veterans of the Black Guard broke into the mysterious Shadow Prison, an unknown place that had never been recorded even in the oldest archives of the Eighth Legion.

Unable to distinguish the direction and distance, an invisible hazy feeling shrouded everyone. Every step they took felt like walking on the soft and muddy clouds.

It was a very repulsive feeling. Sevatar felt as if he had entered the abdomen of some unknown beast, and they were stepping on its digestive organ.

Prince Crow's keen sixth sense was frantically warning him to flee from here.

He didn't know how far he had walked. Since entering the Shadow Prison, Sevatar only felt that there was a problem with the timer set in his power armor, because according to the atomic clock inside it, they had spent three Terra days.

A dim candlelight flickered before his eyes, and Sevatar saw a huge metal door with an intriguing number ⅩⅠ written in the center of the door.

Compared to the antiquity of the four prisons that held the Chaos Demons, it didn't even look like it had experienced many years of age.

Perhaps a few decades, or even one or two hundred years. It is very likely a creation left over from the Great Crusade.

There are some beautiful patterns on the gate, which are as perfect and harmonious as the curves drawn by some artistic genius.

With the intuition of an Astartes, the Prince of Crows saw the figures of countless tragic and tragic warriors in the silent lines and curves.

But he had no time to stay. Sevatar and the black-armored guards continued to move forward, and a mind-control cage that reflected a powerful infectious force appeared in front of him.

An extremely powerful infectious force spread out from the prison, and even Astartes' willpower felt strongly shaken.

Countless phantom voices rang out from within the cage, voices of both men and women, young and old, some holy and some foul, penetrating the Night Lord's mental defenses from every possible angle.

Sevatar kept his distance from the other party in disgust. He hated anything that could modify human thoughts and minds.

Just by staying in the shadow prison, the strong discomfort made Prince Crow feel uneasy and fearful.

He had no choice but to put aside those emotions that would affect the execution of the mission and concentrate on controlling the [Token] given to him by Koz.

This token would lead him to the cell where his target was held. Once it was opened, they would be able to immediately establish a stable warp bridge between the Terran Palace and where Curze and Magnus were.

Otherwise, even Magnus would not have been able to bypass so many obstacles and barriers and sneak under the Emperor's nose to find his soul fragments.

As for how Koz knew that the things in this shadow prison had such an effect, Sevatar could only attribute it to the effect of his father's damn future foresight.

After all, Conrad Kurtz always sees all kinds of strange things or some incredible things from the future.

Sometimes Sevastata is the only one who listens, forced to accept the weird things in his father's mind.

Prince Crow still remembers that his father would sometimes mutter some inexplicable words like "bugs covering the sky", "dwarves hiding in the center of the galaxy" and so on.

"Dad, please be more reliable this time. We have found the cell."

Sevatar thought to himself as he and the black-armored guards safely arrived at the door of the target cell.

Then, he inserted the token given to him by Curze into the chain of the cell. After some kind of psychic verification and matching, the door that was ordered to be closed by the Emperor finally slowly opened.

Dust was dispersed by the air, and Sevastata's figure appeared and disappeared in the dust, like a ghost.

As the dust continued to drift, Prince Crow was horrified to find that around him, just a dozen meters away, there were the Emperor's Guards standing there without him noticing.

However, their color is not the blinding gold, but some dull black imperial guards.

The Shadow Prison was actually much more bustling than he'd imagined. There were at least a hundred Shadow Prison Guards guarding it, but no one had been discovered by them. Sevatar couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He felt that he was a little too arrogant. This wasn't because their stealth skills were good, it was simply because the Guards had let the sea loose.

No matter how good a fighter he is, it is impossible for him to fight against hundreds of Shadow Prison Black Guards in the opponent's home court.

Fortunately, the imperial guards who received the order from Marshal Waldo had no interest in Sevata and others. They were just extremely vigilant in guarding against the open door. There was no living entity inside, but only a mass of energy body that was moving rhythmically.

The blue mist energy flowed and tried to cross the boundary, but the token brought by Sevatar immediately emitted a bright light. Under the same frequency resonance, the energy mist turned into a hole similar to a subspace rift.

At this moment, inside a Thousand Sons warship heading to Ullanor.

The Red King and his Nostramo brother were discussing the final order from the Warmaster on the bridge.

"Do you think Horus will ever regain consciousness? We have not received any direct orders from the Warmaster since he collapsed from a relapse of his old wounds in Betagarmon."

Koz leaned half of his body on the battleship's pillar, wriggling as if he had no bones.

Next to him, Magnus, who was nearly five meters tall and whose entire body was as red as fire, was kneading a blue-purple psychic light ball in his hand.

On the breastplate of the golden armor he was wearing, two ivory-like horns snaked out, flashing milky white arcs of light, while the golden scimitar held in his right hand complemented the arc of light.

The powerful psychic energy emanating from the King of Prospero almost blinded Curze's eyes.

Ever since the amniotic chamber crashed on that sunless evil star, Koz has adapted to the dark, humid environment filled with poisonous gases and acidic rain.

Now staying with Magnus, a brother who likes the bright and shining environment, Curze feels like a mouse that can't adapt to the outside world.

"Who knows? Maybe before he wakes up, our restless brothers have already seized the power that belongs to him?" Koz said with a smile, with a unique hissing sound coming from Nostramo at the end of his mouth.

"Yes, although my brothers all come from the same origin, they attach too much importance to meaningless things like power. This is short-sighted and stupid. Compared with the universal truth that I master, what is power?"

Magnus played with the psychic light ball in his hand with great interest. In it was bound a small thing he named "guardian spirit".

Back in Prospero, each Thousand Son would summon some entities from the Warp to serve as their guardian spirit.

"And you, Brother Curze, you are different from them. It was not until you came to me and said you could help me find my soul fragments that I realized you had been hiding your abilities."

"It seems crazy and incomprehensible because you haven't found someone to communicate with on the same level. Only I can understand your situation and difficulties because we are born the same kind of people." Magnus said sincerely.

Koz used his strong muscle control to resist the urge to laugh out loud, and he remembered a joke.

The joke is just four words: Magnus.

Suddenly, a subspace tunnel with no end in sight appeared in front of Curze, and he immediately realized that Sevatar had completed the task he had entrusted to him.

His son opened a room in the damned Shadow Prison beneath the palace and constructed this Warp Bridge that could bypass countless defenses.

All preparations are here at this moment!
"Brother, my son has cleared the way, let's go!"

Curze immediately grabbed Magnus' hand. The Crimson King was much taller than the Nostramo, which made Magnus stagger a few times.

But after hearing what Koz said, Magnus immediately rushed into the tunnel, even faster than Koz.
