Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 710 The Emperor's Psionic Avatar

928.M30.

Northwestern part of the Milky Way.

Dozens of stone spheres, arranged in a staggered pattern, rotate along different orbits, revolving around a star that sometimes shines and sometimes dims.

A howling, cold wind arose out of nowhere in the void of space, and a flash of lightning ripped across the sky.

The sea of ​​souls churned and surged, closing like a gaping maw.

Amidst the raging storm of the Sea of ​​Souls, a ship enveloped in shimmering golden light flew out.

Dozens of stone spheres suddenly accelerated, spinning rapidly around the star.

The starlight gradually stabilized, then grew brighter and brighter.

boom!
As several blazing fireballs streaked across the void like meteors, the star burned fiercely.

A dazzling golden light suddenly rose up.

The intense light did not come from a star, but from a tall, thin, and handsome man.

He wore crisp peasant clothes, had a thick brown beard, broad shoulders, and strong arms covered with old scars.

He gazed at the red giant star, his golden eyes growing ever brighter, projecting the wild power hidden within them.

He stepped out, walking up the golden steps toward the red giant.

Suddenly, streaks of silvery-white light appeared, contracting one after another towards the center from different directions.

The farmer's upright figure, dressed in peasant clothes, suddenly transformed into a strong stag.

The deer lowered its head, looking at its golden-red fur.

The next instant, the once exquisite and magnificent fur turned dull.

His golden eyes dimmed, and his powerful antlers cracked and broke.

His eyes flashed, and he felt as if he had returned to countless years ago, to the time when he was battered and bruised during his escape from Moro.

He looked around but did not see Arivia.

“You are not them, you are just a dead snake.” The deer spoke in a human voice, his words somewhat similar to High Gothic, yet with slight differences in word order.

"Revelation." A hissing sound suddenly rang out.

The deer found the source of the sound in its memories.

Greek, or more precisely, the accent of Gordium, a city in Asia Minor.

"You and your son are both cheaters."

With an angry roar, he was instantly transported back to a magnificent temple.

A chariot appeared before him, bound by a Gordian rope that was coiled and intertwined.

The deer examined itself, and it didn't know when it had transformed back into human form.

He was dressed in magnificent bronze armor, with a bright red cloak billowing in the wind.

A giant, silvery-white serpent slowly emerged from the temple, its eyes cold and crimson.

Do you remember that prophecy?

"Whoever can untie the ropes will rule the world."

"Do you remember how you did it?"

The deer, transformed into a man clad in magnificent armor, drew a short sword from his waist and slashed it at the rope.

The next moment, he returned to his standing and scrutinizing posture.

The scales of the silvery giant serpent shimmered with dense patterns and symbols, forming interconnected rotating wheels.

The man kept staring, cutting the rope, staring, cutting the rope...

He repeated the cycle again and again.

After hundreds or thousands of times, a golden light suddenly shone in the man's eyes.

“Alexander is my true self; he is not here.”

“I am Revelation, as you just said.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the silvery-white giant serpent hissed, and the wheel burst into golden flames.

The flames roared and the giant silver snake was quickly reduced to ashes.

As specks of golden light drifted by, the temple, chariots, and Gordian ropes vanished like burst bubbles.

The ornate armor and crimson cloak vanished abruptly, revealing the man's true appearance: a tall, thin, handsome farmer with a brown beard.

"Alexander, Emperor, Revelation, they are all the same."

"You always make the same choices, cheating in a cunning way." The shriek was cold, filled with unspeakable sarcasm.

“Alexander severed the Gordian knot and ruled over all the known world, but…”

"The solution to the cheating problem shows that your reign will not last long."

Tens of thousands of light-years away, in the center of Terra's massive cavern.

Suddenly, the emperor looked up at the towering platform in front of him.

The Gordian network of cables and pipes came into view.

As a shadow rose in the Emperor's eyes, his psionic avatar was revealed, and at the same moment, golden light emanated from its eyes.

Golden light, like two laser beams, shot into the red giant.

The revelation is that the scarred arms suddenly reach out and clasp together.

He bent over, as if tens of thousands of years ago, when he was teaching his people to cultivate the land, and pulled with both arms.

Within the Sea of ​​Souls, the silvery-white light resembled clumps of sticky, giant silvery-white pythons, coiling around the golden pillar of light.

Silvery lightning flashed in the northwest of the Milky Way, colliding with golden light.

boom! boom! boom!
The blue and purple electric sparks generated by the collision intertwined like giant pythons.

The immigrants from the twelve planets of the Cradle of the Serpent looked up in horror at the lightning that tore through the blue sky.

On the surface of Sonem 8, near the Cauldron and Damis, the wandering ghosts seemed to suddenly be greeted by daylight, their bodies becoming illusory and disappearing rapidly.

The shadowy figures of order, clad in black armor, gazed uneasily at the dazzling light that pierced the sky.

The light in Revelation's eyes grew brighter and brighter, illuminating the red giant star and dozens of stone spheres like a golden sun.

As he pulled with both arms, the pillar of light enveloping the golden glow was dragged out.

Revelation spun his arms, and beams of light shot out from the area enveloped by the red giant star as his body rotated.

Dozens of stone spheres of varying sizes scattered and intertwined, forming a large net that blocked the path of the beam of light.

The revelation is evident in the shaking of his broad shoulders and the bulging of his thick arm muscles.

His eyes met at a single point, and with a sudden, forceful flick, he hurled the beam of light toward that point.

A dazzling beam of light shot out from between the stone spheres, transforming into a stream of light that vanished into the void.

Qi Shi was covered in sticky sweat, and his weathered farmer face was etched with deep wrinkles.

Shadow Castle of Vostochnya.

Ning Lu suddenly woke up from the ebony bed. As he got up, he looked ahead warily.

An invisible, dazzling light leaped up.

The light grew brighter and brighter, outlining a huge spear.

Its handle is as thick as a communication array antenna, and its spearhead is a gleaming, long, sword-shaped blade.

Ninglu stared at the psionic artifact floating in mid-air.

Dionysus's Spear.

Sure enough, after I stopped in Vostonia, Old Huang was able to locate me.

He reclaimed the Spear of Dionysus.

Despite playing at home and undergoing a restart, Uroboros are still no match for Huang Laohan.
A smile appeared on his face.

[Old Huang was pretty helpful; he finally let me get it for free.]
Ning Lu got up and went to the window. With a thought, the blinds clicked.

He gazed at the night sky. "Night Kai Class."

It is not the dawn when the spear of Dionysus returns to our side.

Nine standard hours later, Nimrod's psionic projection crossed the void and arrived at Terra's golden palace.

　PS: Revelation is one of the known incarnations of Huang Laohan, appearing in official novels such as *The Wrath of Magnus*. The deer is not a subspace image of Huang Laohan, but rather a manifestation of Revelation.

　　Incidentally, the senior members of the Translation Court mostly write in the footnotes that it is a psionic avatar. But it is clearly different from Ahriman and Kayan, who are difficult to solidify beyond a single world and must focus on one.

　　Old Huang sitting in front of the toilet has at least one, or even multiple, clones that can move freely at the same time and have demonstrated the power to suppress the original body, so clones are obviously more suitable.
