Warhammer: I, the Wizard of a Thousand Sons, Reorganize the Legion

Chapter 115 The Ambiguous Magnus

Li Wei took a step forward, his gaze deep, and said in a low voice, "Alright, what are the three requirements?"

"Hehe, you want the route, right? Let me tell you the first thing: you have to walk the route I'm showing you alive."

"Hmm?" Li Wei raised an eyebrow, his tone impatient, and urged, "Speak, tell me the route, and also mention the other two requests."

As he said this, he glanced at Magnus, who had been silent all along. It wasn't that he was afraid of offending his boss by taking charge of such an important matter on his own.

It wasn't that he was afraid Magnus's stance would waver, but rather that he was afraid Magnus would lose his composure under the influence of power. The God of Laughter was just an ordinary god of the fallen spirit race, but he was still a god after all. The playful and seductive power inherent in His divine office was constantly influencing everything around Him, and if one wasn't careful, people would unconsciously fall into His power.

In other words, after Li Wei accepted a part of the essence of the emperor, he realized that the power of the gods could never be looked at directly, and that even just being close to them without praying to them would have a subtle influence on one.

It is only because his soul essence, tempered by imperial power, allows him to remain unaffected and unaffected by the divine might of the Laughing God.

"The other two requests, hehe, we'll talk about them when you get to Terra."

"It's no use for me to say it now. Because of the entrance to the network, you can't sail your warships in at all. Only small groups can enter. The network is extremely dangerous. Without the protection of fleet firepower, you were lucky to be able to return to Terra."

Upon hearing this, Li Wei was taken aback, but not too disappointed.

After all, the Webway, a shortcut that allows travel through the gaps in warp space, had long been ravaged by the Eldar after the Great Fall, making it nearly impossible for large warships to pass through its narrow entrance smoothly.

Even if there were entrances in nearby star systems that allowed large warships to pass through, Li Wei would not recommend sending his fleet in rashly. The reason is quite simple: some parts of the network passage are extremely narrow, sometimes only allowing one person to pass at a time.

"Don't worry about that. We've made preparations. Terra must return; it's the center of human rights."

Li Wei waved his hand, his tone resolute, and then changed the subject.

"However, we would appreciate it if Laughing God could come and accompany us to Terra. Of course, it's not that we don't trust you, but the Eldar's ways are too unpredictable, so we have to be careful."

Li Wei actually made a firm demand, but his tone was full of undisguised distrust. He still did not trust the Laughing God of the Spirit Clan and hoped that the Laughing God would personally descend and direct the route.

Although having the God of Laughter by their side was extremely risky—after all, among the ancient gods of the Spirit Race, the God of Laughter was not considered to be among the top in terms of combat power, and was even somewhat weak—a god is a god. If the God of Laughter were to suddenly turn against them and launch an attack during the journey, the advance team returning to Terra would definitely suffer heavy losses, and the entire army might be wiped out.

But if Laughing God were to simply give a random route and allow the core leaders of the Thousand Sons Legion and the Shadow Moon Wolf Legion to venture deep into the net path alone, the problem would be even greater.

Neither outcome was a good one, but after careful consideration, Li Wei ultimately chose to have Laughing God personally accompany the team back to Terra.

"Hehe..." The already quick-witted God of Laughter turned to Magnus and fanned the flames, saying, "Lord Levi's request is really excessive. Lord Magnus, the Primarch of the Thousand Sons, do you agree to Levi's unilateral decision? His request is really excessive. He actually made a decision without your permission. Does he not respect your face as the Primarch?"

Before Magnus could reply, Levi, upon hearing this, was furious. He hadn't expected that he had really angered the God of Laughter, and that the God of Laughter would immediately retaliate by threatening to report him to his superior. This was truly outrageous.

But he was also bewildered. He sensed in the Laughing God the childish vengefulness of an imperial offspring, which was truly speechless.

He suddenly realized that in the Warhammer universe, everyone from ordinary people to Primarchs and even gods was a bunch of lunatics; it was utterly absurd.

However, it's also possible that he felt he was too difficult to deal with, and that the Laughing God found it easier to control the more straightforward Magnus, thus gaining the upper hand.

Li Wei felt he was not wronged at all; he was simply stating the facts and had not overstepped his authority or overstepped his bounds.

He knew there was something wrong with the Laughing God's provocation, so he didn't respond and just quietly looked at Magnus.

"Is that so?" Magnus, who had been silent all along, raised his eyes and said in a flat tone, "I trust Chief Levi's character. Since you've asked me, then you should come and guide us back to Terra in your true form."

He paused, then added, "What, you're not afraid to come near us because you're afraid of us mortals, are you?"

Li Wei, standing to the side, almost burst out laughing. It wasn't a laugh of joy at being trusted; there was no reason to laugh. He knew from Magnus's attitude that Magnus trusted him unconditionally.

Instead, Magnus surprisingly started to speak sarcastically to others. Although he was an alien god, it was the first time Li Wei had seen Magnus deliberately being sarcastic, but he didn't quite get it right, which made him laugh.

"Fine..." The God of Laughter, who had been choked up, completely broke down and said angrily, "Fine, since that's the case, I'll accompany you. However, I'll personally descend after you enter the Net Path."

"The entrance to the network is located underground on the capital planet of the Thor system. Go find it yourselves. I won't tell you the exact location. If you can't find it, you're not worthy of cooperating with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, and Li Wei was about to ask for some details, the Laughing God, who was occupying the female spirit's body, suddenly withdrew his divine sense and left the body, falling to the ground with a "thud".

"This... is so petty! Gods? Pshaw!"

Peturabo, leaning against the wall, scoffed with a look of disdain and began to complain.

Li Wei frowned, feeling speechless. This Laughing God was really childish, so easily provoked and ran away. He still had some details to ask.

He also wanted to ask about the secret that Laughing God had mentioned before. It wasn't that he didn't want to know, but rather that he and his group of people who had returned to Terra were the ones who should ask Laughing God for help.

But in order to gain the upper hand, Li Wei could only grit his teeth and endure the bait thrown out by the God of Laughter, pretending not to understand and not caring to know.

Curiosity is human nature, and it's impossible not to want to know.

"It's alright. As long as we find the entrance to the Internet, we can see the true form of the Laughing God and have the opportunity to ask him what happened in person."

""

Actually, he was more curious about how the Spirit Race divined the future and how they knew that the Emperor had fallen into a deep sleep—such a secret.
