Never mind, let's get this under control first.

His perception of time was incredibly vague; he could never pinpoint a specific point in time like Aaron or his father.

All he knew was that Peturabo had created the material components of the time machine, and he himself had to complete the psionic components.

That's why, the moment Guilliman was transferred away, Loga found Peturabo and revealed his entire plan.

But for some reason, after Peturabo agreed to the plan, he never smiled at me!

As they spoke, the enormous transport vehicle finally arrived deep within this area; apart from the Primarch and Aaron present, there was no one else there.

The Word Bearers in the distance noticed Aaron's appearance and asked, "Who is that person? Did he come with your Primarch?"

Company Commander Midrod turned around: "Oh, it's Prince Aaron. My father's brother, Katherine's fiancé. Katherine can call His Majesty 'father,' so I suppose he can too."

The one who spoke was somewhat displeased. Why should our Primarchs kneel down and appease your relatives on your side?

But thinking about it, this bald man really does call His Majesty "father," well, that's not something they can interfere with.

In the arena, Peturabo jumped down. He spotted Aaron from afar, his eyes sparkling, a smile playing on his lips as he waved.

"Long time no see, Aaron. It's been two weeks, by the way."

Then his expression changed rapidly, turning as cold as steel, and he looked at Luo Jia: "I've brought the things, let's begin."

Chapter 176 The Nailed Holy Infant (34K)

Two weeks!

Aaron hadn't had time to figure out why Xiao Pei's expression changed so quickly; he was simply surprised by the timing.

“I remember Dorn telling me last time that you were planning to take down the enemy within three days.”

Little Pei's face grew increasingly ashen. This Dorn, they were all in a closed environment at the time, did Dorn say these words!

How could he not remember!

"My brother, please calm down. When you're angry, the cables on your scalp get hot."

Luo Jia kindly reminded her, but this only made Xiao Pei seem more awkward.

"Enough! You just wait. When I become the next emperor, you will all be my subjects! Then no one will dare to criticize me!"

Perturabo makes no secret of his ambition, and a considerable portion of the Empire is already aware of the Iron Warrior Primarch's aspirations.

Aaron burst into laughter, bowed slightly, and made an exaggerated gesture:

"Then, Your Majesty, please tell me—"

Perturabo also knelt on one knee, interrupting Aaron:

“You are different. You can be the retired emperor to show that I am not a dictator. If there has to be someone above me, I will never allow that old man in my family to ride on my head.”

The Word Bearer, standing some distance away, sighed, “Mortals are so fragile. When we talk to them, we have to lower ourselves. Even the two Primarchs have to kneel on one knee.”

Midrod, standing beside him, didn't seem to care and laughed heartily:

"Weren't we just ordinary people before we underwent the transformation surgery? Hahaha, don't worry about that. We should focus on how to destroy the enemy more efficiently."

Peturabo raised his hand and fired a signal flare, and the Steel Warriors went to unload the quadruple rings from the transport vehicle.

Judging from their skillful operation of civil engineering machinery, they must have gained a lot of experience while assisting in the construction of Terra's defenses.

The enormous creation was smoothly unloaded, and the four distinct rings were embedded in a spherical hollow structure.

Interestingly, these rings vary in size and curvature, and regardless of the rotation angle of each ring, a complete path leading to the central space of the ring is revealed.

It is said that the Primarch ate Nakayo on Terra in order to make this thing, but he didn't get any results.

Even fewer people know the purpose of these four concentric rings.

Some kind of heavy weapon?

Compared to those truly high-yield weapons, the quadruple rings are even somewhat small.

Moreover, it is so exquisitely crafted that it resembles some kind of cutting-edge technological product, similar to the advanced technology found in some ruins encountered during the Great Expedition.

"Aaron, my brother, please allow me to introduce you to my greatest creation, the Quadruple Ring!"

"I know you were wondering about that!"

Peturabo straightened up confidently and pointed behind him at his great creation.

Aaron simply shook his head hastily and said:

"No, no, no, Xiao Pei, you taught me about the prototype when we were in Olympia."

Xiao Pei proudly declared, "That's right, this is the finished product, and it's on a much larger scale. Let me explain again—"

Aaron stopped him:

"Wait, what I really want to know is, what do those alien races that use human neurotransmitters as medicine look like? Do you have any corpses I can see?"

"I hope that by recording this in my time, I can warn people in the past to be careful of such creatures. Perhaps this will give future generations who encounter these monsters while exploring the stars a chance to react."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Pei's eyebrows drooped slightly; so that was the question she had.

He scratched his scalp, which was covered with cables, somewhat unwillingly.

“Those alien corpses were all burned clean, it’s our usual practice, the old man in the family said so.”

“I’ll ask Midrod to draw a picture. He’s seen those aliens, and his drawing is quite realistic. My company commander is very talented. We can meet up and have a meal together sometime.”

Seeing that his four rings failed to attract Aaron's attention, Xiao Pei was unable to immediately fulfill Aaron's request to see the alien's appearance.

I couldn't help but feel a little restless, and the cable above my head was indeed getting quite red-hot.

Aaron gently patted his shoulder armor, changing the subject:

"Then let's talk about why you made the quadruple ring so big and moved it all the way here."

"Could it be that, as Luo Jia said, you have successfully built a time machine?"

The latter, having calmed down, spoke with a hint of pride in his voice, coldly:

"It is theoretically feasible, as the world's understanding of time is bound to subspace."

"My machine has achieved everything that is possible in the real world; now all that's left is psionic assistance."

He can emphasize the word "assist" to indicate that he has the upper hand in the quadruple rings.

Asking Luo Jia for help was just to have him do some auxiliary work.

The gentle smile on Loka's face never faded; he remained unhurried and compliant with Peturabo's words.

“That’s right, exactly. So, my brother, can you smile at me?”

Xiao Pei turned her face away, and it turned ashen again. Even Aaron sensed something was wrong this time.

“Little Pei, what happened to your face? I’ve only ever seen that expression on Dorn’s face, but he looks like that on everyone. How come you—”

Peturabo clenched his fists, his voice choked with emotion:

“It was done by Makado, my father’s close friend, that powerful psionicist.”

Aaron murmured the name: "Macado? I've heard my father mention him. He was born after me, so my father told me to call him Uncle Macado, not Uncle. From my father's description, Macado is a good man."

Xiao Pei covered her face and waved her other hand, saying:

“No, I don’t care what we call Makado. I was looking for other brothers when I was in Terra. Makado revealed to me the current situation of some of the returning brothers, which allowed me to learn about Loga.”

“My first impression of him wasn’t good, so I asked Makado to cast a psionic spell on me to prevent me from smiling when I’m with Loka. The spell is for ten years.”

He forced himself to stand up, looked at Luo Jia, and added in a low voice:

"Just think of it as two Dorns watching you. Don't misunderstand, I have no ill intentions towards you now. Don't let this delay our experiment."

Aaron expressed sympathy for Little Pei's plight and couldn't suppress a smile.

Xiao Pei had no intention of dwelling on the matter any longer. He waited for the Iron Warriors, who were like professional home appliance installers, to finish their work before activating the quadruple rings.

And he stood confidently in front of Aaron, using his body as protection.

Surprisingly, the airflow and noise from the rotating giant rings were not significant, even though, from the outside, these giant metal rings appeared to rotate with enough force to grind a person into powder inside.

But it didn't produce any annoying noise or strange wind.

Peturab crossed his arms, turned his back to Loga, and burst into laughter:

“Aaron, look, I’ve finished! The central passage remains open, and the rotating rings around it do not cause any changes to the surrounding environment.”

"Just follow the safety guidelines and don't touch those changing rings."

As he spoke, he stepped forward, making sure to always stand in front of Luo Jia and not look at his face in order to project a youthful smugness.

That's right, he's not one of those old folks in their seventies or eighties, or even who knows how many millions of years old he is. He's a spirited and talented young man!

"Luo Jia, it's your turn. I'm our first test subject today, and I have absolute confidence in my skills!"

Perturabo called on Loja to release his psionic energy, and the latter reluctantly raised his hand, feeling somewhat unaccustomed to not holding a blunt weapon.

He's been using the scepter of atonement so much lately that he's subconsciously treating the hammer itself as a scepter for casting spells.

In fact, psychic release doesn't require these things at all, just like Makado didn't need that wooden cane at all.

Aaron, on the other hand, was eager to try it out. The look in his eyes as he looked at the four-ringed structure was roughly equivalent to the sense of wonder that a child in the 21st century would have when looking at a carousel.

It might seem childish to elementary school students, but it's just right for college students.

Aaron said, "Let me give it a try. You know I don't need to worry about damaging the materials. Whether it succeeds or not, I'll come back to find you again."

Xiao Pei and Luo Jia had no objections. Xiao Pei turned her head and smiled:

“Yes, and Loka said he can trace the path to time through the quadruple rings, and even reverse the rings to bring people back.”

"Aaron, go!"

Loka added, "It's not about bringing people back, but about expanding the power that his brother already possesses while he's around. Originally, when his brother carried others on time travel, those people were also psionic projections, just like you mentioned before when you went to see Guilliman in the future."

"And this time, with the help of your four rings and my power, we can try to completely separate the entity from one timeline and bring it to another time."

Aaron interjected, "I know that. It worked once. Uncle Poseidon was completely sent to this era by my power combined with my father's power. Is he with Magnus now? By the way, have you ever met Magnus?"

Luo Jia remained silent, puzzled by the statement.

Is Aaron's father capable of completely stripping a person from one timeline and sending them to another?
