Warhammer: Become a Saint Starting with the Banner of Souls

Chapter 92 Everything was part of a plan

These words made the Demon Lord of Myriad Changes look even more embarrassed.

He was betrayed by Jianqi.

These four words are nothing new to any of the demons under Tzeentch's command.

Their master's personality was notorious throughout the entire subspace.

He is always seeking change, and He becomes dissatisfied if things proceed as planned.

Change itself is the essence of life; deception and betrayal are the very breath.

Therefore, Tzeentch not only harms mortals, but he also harms his own demons.

Take this time, for example.

He could have told the Myriad Transformations Demon Lord some information about Qin Mo beforehand, but Tzeentch said nothing and just threw it over.

The Demon Lord of Myriad Transformations now strongly suspects that his master's plan originally included the element of watching him make a fool of himself.

Yes, that's very strange, extremely strange.

"Return to my lord."

The Demon Lord of Myriad Transformations took a deep breath, trying to keep his tone steady.

"This...this is all part of the Lord of Change's plan."

66

When he said those words, the Myriad Transformations Demon Lord felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

But what could it say, being a demon of Tzeentch? "Yes, sir, I was tricked by my master"?

So it had no choice but to resort to that universal shield.

"It's all part of the plan."

Qin Mo's smile widened even further.

"Hmm, that's a universal reason."

66

His tone was clearly sarcastic.

"Anything can be described as part of the plan."

The Demon Lord of Myriad Transformations was speechless.

It wanted to argue, but it found itself unable to do so.

Because Qin Mo was right. The phrase "everything is part of a plan" is indeed the most useful all-purpose tactic for the Tzeentch faction.

It worked out; it was part of the plan.

If things go wrong, it's part of the plan. No matter the outcome, it can always be explained with that phrase.

Just as the Myriad Transformations Demon Lord was making a final struggle for his dignity, Qin Mo suddenly changed the subject.

"On another note."

"6

"Your master can see this conversation between us through you, right?"

66

The Myriad Transformations Demon Lord was slightly taken aback, then nodded.

There's no need for it to hide this.

As a great demon of Tzeentch, it has an eternal bond with its master.

Through this connection, Tzeentch can see everything it sees and hear everything it hears.

"Why doesn't he just tell me his real name through you?"

'

"ah?

"

The Demon Lord of Myriad Transformations was stunned once again.

"This, this..."

'

Yes.

If Tzeentch is truly sincere in wanting to reach a deal, and if he really can "answer any question" as the Myriad Transformations Demon Lord claims, then wouldn't the simplest way to prove it be to directly tell Qin Mo his real name through the Myriad Transformations Demon Lord as a medium?

This way, one can demonstrate both the sincerity of the transaction and one's own integrity.

But the problem is... Tzeentch couldn't possibly do that.

So Tzeentch kept observing everything here, but didn't respond at all.

This in itself says it all.

The Demon Lord of Myriad Changes only now belatedly realized that Qin Mo had never intended to make a deal with Jianqi from the very beginning.

He asked the question about his real name not to get an answer.

Rather, it was to test Tzeentch's bottom line.

You say you can answer any question? Okay, then I'll ask you a question you absolutely cannot answer.

You say you're sincere? Fine, then prove it with actions.

The Demon Lord of Myriad Transformations finally understood one thing.

The person in front of me is not an ordinary person who can be easily fooled by rhetoric and self-interest.

Qin Mo waited for a moment.

No additional sounds emanated from the crystal labyrinth. There were no whispers from higher dimensions, no mystical messages injected into the mind of the Myriad-Change Demon Lord—nothing at all.

Tzeentch chose to remain silent.

"Ugh."

Qin Mo sighed.

"Is this how your master wants to make a deal with me?"

'

These words sounded ordinary, but the Myriad Transformations Demon Lord felt a chill run down his spine.

Because as Qin Mo said those words, the hand gripping its neck tightened slightly.

Not much, just a tiny bit tighter.

But even this small amount was enough for the Myriad Transformations Demon Lord to feel the power contained within it, a power capable of completely crushing its soul.

Fear instantly seized over the entire mind of the Myriad Transformations Demon Lord.

"Sir! Please ask another question! Any other question will do!"

'

However, Qin Mo simply shook his head slightly.

I think we should forget about it.

"I will directly absorb you into my Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and then read the memories in your soul."

He glanced at the banner beside him, and the countless souls on its surface seemed to sense their master's intentions, letting out excited hisses.

"It's much faster than me asking questions."

The ever-changing demon lord caused the entire bird to erupt in panic. Its wings flapped wildly, and its eyes were filled with terror.

"In that case, you won't get any useful information!"

Qin Mo raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Oh? Your soul has been placed under some kind of restriction?"

'

The Demon Lord of Myriad Transformations nodded frantically.

"Yes, sir!"

"Before sending me here, my master placed a spell on my soul that prevented me from reading my memories! Any attempt to peek into the memories in my soul will result in my immediate death! So even if you wanted to see them, you couldn't!"

'

When he said these words, the Myriad Transformations Demon Lord's feelings were extremely complicated.

On one hand, it was glad that its master had at least left it this "insurance." As long as Qin Mo believed that forcibly reading memories would lead to information loss, then it still had a reason to live.

on the other hand...

It also clearly realized one thing.

This so-called restriction has never protected its safety.

What is being protected is Tzeentch's secret.

If the memories of the Myriad Transformations Demon Lord are read, they may contain information that Tzeentch does not want to be revealed.

To prevent this from happening, Tzeentch placed a self-destruct spell on its soul.

It will die immediately if anyone tries to read its memories.

The soul shattered completely. Memories vanished with it.

The Demon Lord of Myriad Transformations gave a bitter laugh to himself.

Sure enough, in its master's eyes, it was never anything important. Just a pawn, used and discarded.

But now is not the time for sentimentality.

The most important thing now is to survive.

The Myriad Transformations Demon Lord stared intently at Qin Mo's expression, trying to read some emotion from his face.

However, it read nothing.

Qin Mo's expression was calm.

"Yeah?

'

Two light, casual words. Then Qin Mo smiled.

That smile sent chills down the spine of the ever-changing Demon Lord.

"Then I'll just have to see for myself."

"My lord! Wait! My lord, please... don't come any closer!"

Before he could finish speaking...

Qin Mo's divine sense directly pierced into the mind of the Myriad Transformations Demon Lord.
