I'm a magnetic field madman

For the empire, so much territory became a burden rather than a blessing.

So it seems there's still a possibility of negotiation between humans and the Eldar?

Yes, that's true. In fact, among the many alien races, the Eldar have always had an ambiguous relationship with the Empire.

The upper echelons of the imperial regime were not nearly as fanatical as people believed...

The brainwashing of the mindless masses and the faith of the state religion are more used to guide and ensure the thoughts and stances of the vast majority of ordinary people, while how could the upper class be fools who see things in black and white?

Ironically, the human empire's attitude towards the outside world in 40K was actually much more open than it was during the Great Crusade in 30K.

Humanity would be more than willing to exchange some worlds for a true alliance with the Eldar.

Unfortunately, the Eldar's fickle nature and the chaotic factions within the human empire made any cooperation impossible.

To truly achieve cooperation, perhaps both sides need to step forward and have someone who can hold their own.

Evelynn, the chosen one of Death, possesses certain qualifications, although she can only represent the Death Army.

But her existence was indeed the first step towards a true alliance with humanity; however, they now have a better option.

Gazing at the city of spires as it began to rebuild from ruins, watching the ugly sculptures deliberately erected to highlight pain and torment being removed, the old prophet's eyes were filled with profound emotion and ethereal peace.

Comoros is ruined; the unrest has essentially destroyed most of the city's stable political structure.

Instead, a completely new political system was established—the Eternal Court.

It can't really be called brand new; this so-called political system is just a copy of the old Eldar Empire's structure.

Intricate court etiquette, the hierarchical system built upon it, the intrigue and backstabbing within the court, cunning and scheming courtiers—and a king who exists only as a mascot.

This system is anything but wonderful, and Eldrad, having experienced it firsthand, would never believe that such a thing could help the Eldar return to their former glory.

But if these useless things can make their people more willing to rally under their banner, then Eldrad will wholeheartedly help them accomplish it.

But Eldrad had already earned the prestigious title of High Archmage within the Eternal Court…

Although they had neither the Safruit World nor the White Tower of Hoss... Eldrad did feel a small sense of joy at fulfilling a dream.

“Our history has been tarnished, and you seem quite happy about it.”

A somber voice sounded behind the old prophet, and the speaker was a tall figure clad in black Banshee armor and wielding a halberd—JainZar, the Phoenix Lord of the Banshee Tribe Altar.

"Our history has long since become so rich that there is nothing left to pollute."

Eldrad leaned back in his wicker chair, relaxed, picked up a book, and began to read as he spoke…

"You should learn to adapt. All life must learn to adapt, otherwise we will inevitably be destroyed in the torrent of history."

“But that’s not a reason for me to accept loyalty to an ape!” Jain Zal said coldly.

"You told me you orchestrated so many conspiracies, destroying Comoros to create Death! But you've concealed so many plans!"

“This really has nothing to do with me,” Eldrad sighed, explaining with genuine innocence…

Although the old prophet has always been someone who likes to use prophecy and trickery to achieve his goals, this time, he is truly innocent.

When Eldrad peered into the future through the Unfinished Tears, he did indeed see much.

Even his contact with the Froststar and Malice Soaring troupes to intercept Bai Qian Shuang was part of his plan, or rather, part of the Human Emperor's plan.

But he never expected this outcome—Bai Qianshuang dying there wouldn't stop the birth of the Grim Reaper... and if he survived, it would only mean that the human emperor was indeed interfering in all of this.

But the fact that a human from another universe became Isha's chosen one was something he could never have foreseen; Eldrad did not have the ability to glimpse the mysteries of the gods.

He even thought that the human emperor probably hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

After all, the matter had become something that Eldrad, a mere Karami, could no longer control. With the Lord of Changes setting things up, the Dark Prince personally getting involved, and even Khorne getting involved, what right did this prophet have to take control of the situation?

Even the old prophet himself understood that in this game, he was most likely just a pawn in Tzeentch's hands.

"But isn't the reality quite good?" Eldrad said casually.

"Although the Grim Reaper was not successfully born, Evelyne's existence made us understand the possibility of the Seventh Path. Our race also has the possibility of enjoying peace after death, not to mention that we have now obtained the chosen incarnations of two gods."

He paused, making no attempt to hide his disgust for his cousin, and said...

"Comoros is a city that disgusts me! Our cousins ​​keep feeding our great enemy with their depravity... Although it is their way of survival, I still hate them."

"And now, they have a new option, don't they? A way to make things better, to make Comoros more aligned with our path..."

"Kneeling before humans and becoming a slave to foreign races is what you consider a good solution?" Jain Zar said sarcastically.

"Don't forget that those human emperors were hardly better than 'His Thirst' to our race... Temporary appeasement and compromise only resulted in our eventual annihilation!"

“You still don’t understand.” Eldrad sighed, his eyes twitching slightly beneath his mask. He paused, then looked at the Phoenix Lord and said…

"Our divided race is destined to accomplish nothing. We once placed high hopes on Everene... because we hoped she would serve as a beacon in this dark age, guiding more of our kind onto the same path of revival. But the path of death is ultimately not suitable for the vast majority, not even you, are you?"

Jain Zar remained silent, but the old prophet was right. As a Phoenix Lord who worshipped Asuyan, Jain Zar felt a deep-seated fear of Jena's existence.

In their view, Jena and Slaanesh were no different—they were both gods born from the Eldar, and their "birth" meant disaster for Ida.

To be tormented for eternity or to sleep forever—though the latter seems so much better—ultimately, they both lead to the same end.

“We now have a better benchmark; no deity can rival Isha’s reputation,” Eldrad chuckled, pausing before looking at Jain Zar and asking the crucial question.

"And most importantly, Phoenix Lord, do you think you could be a match for our War Lord, or our king?"

"Is the power of studying the Dao comparable to the power of the rotating magnetic field? And do you really think they are on the same side as that emperor?"

78. The legitimate royal family

Royal power emphasizes legitimacy; it may derive from legal principles, bloodline, or even a vague and ethereal legend.

Ultimately, the most stable royal power always comes from strength.

When an individual's power surpasses that of the group, their kingship becomes unshakeable. This was the case with the Phoenix King, the Queen of Ida who single-handedly confronted the gods. This was the sole reason why the Phoenix King commanded the unconditional submission of all Eldar!

Of course, there is no longer a Phoenix King, only a gender-swapped Eternal Queen and a Warlord, but both of them are extremely difficult to deal with.

News of the Eternal Court's reconstruction in Comoros spread throughout the Ark worlds in a very short time, thanks to the tireless promotion and performances of those clowns...

The various Ark worlds and even the savage spirit races on the planets all knew about this matter.

At first, they not only scoffed at the imposter king and lord, but were also furious that the ape dared to blaspheme their mother!

Then came a series of assassinations.

Among the Ark Eldar and Savage Eldar who visited Comoros, countless assassins wanted to kill these two imposters, and even Jain Zar had acted irrationally.

But what was the result?

The assassins who attempted to kill the war lord all met extremely gruesome ends...

After getting tired of being assassinated, the Blood Shark King simply moved to the center of the arena, waiting for a group of people to come and fight him whenever they had free time.

As for those who assassinated the "Eternal King," they were only slightly better off.

They didn't die, but they were all stuffed into the Soul Stone.

Although he was Isa's chosen one, the Eternal King did not possess the compassion and gentleness of the previous Eternal Queens... On the contrary, his brutality was no less than that of the Blood Shark King.

Assassins often tried to kill him, but he would slam them against the wall with his bare hands, or he would beat up the assassins with the Star of Avalon, which symbolized the healing power of the Mother Goddess. Although none of them died, what became of them...?

Jain remained silent, for her assassination attempt had already failed once, and she had no desire to experience it a second time.

Just then, a huge image suddenly appeared projected onto the pyramids hanging high in the Comorian sky above the black sun. Eldrad's lips twitched slightly, and he sighed...

"Here we go again. Why do my fellow countrymen all seem to enjoy courting death so much?"

The enormous image projected onto none other than Bai Qianshuang!

She was wearing a white cloak, simple trousers, and a vest...

He completely rejected the magnificent armor offered to him by the Eldar court, which combined historical significance, aesthetic appeal, and defensive capabilities; his taste in clothing was truly appalling.

But the Blood Shark King dressed the same way, and these two claimed it was "the attire of a martial god," and successfully inspired a group of spirit race members to follow suit...

Okay, that's not the point. The point is that it's all under the watchful eyes of the countless Eldar gathered in the Comoros...

Their "Eternal King" carried the magnificent Star of Avalon on his shoulder in a very tasteless manner, slouching like a petty thug.

He stood with the head of a warrior from the Yme-Loc Ark world's tribe firmly planted beneath his feet... This Eldar warrior, a follower of the blacksmith god Vaal, was still roaring and howling there.

"You shameless scoundrel who wears a crown while pretending to be a monkey! You thief who stole divine power! You—"

"ok, ok, I got it."

Bai Qianshuang picked at her ear with an indifferent expression, blew the dust off her fingertips, and looked at the angry, pathetic creature...

"It's the same old excuse again. If you're so loyal, why don't you go charge into battle against those Slaanesh demons? I'm too lazy to argue anymore. Are you ready to beg for mercy?"

"Croak, I'll forgive you, you old man..."

The Eldar warrior hadn't even finished speaking when he let out a piercing scream...

Because Bai Qianshuang was using the Star of Avalon as a golf club to relentlessly beat the head of this dominating warrior.

He was lucky because each beating was instantly healed by Isa's power—he was also unlucky because the deformed spirit bone helmet from the beating was not within the scope of healing.

So every time he was cured, he had to endure the secondary injury of skull deformation, and yet he always recovered. This meant that every time he was beaten, he had to endure the pain three times, and he had nothing but pain.

"Ah, feel the power of your mother! This healing ability is really good for tormenting people."

While praising him, Bai Qian Shuang struck even harder, delivering a blow to Ada's groin. And as the screams echoed throughout Comoros, what was the reaction of the Eldar?

Those who don't react, or who would overreact to His Majesty at this point, have either already left Comoros or have already been beaten up.

Not to mention that there are quite a few people here who admire His Majesty.

After all, racism, whether among humans or Eldar, has always been a way to fool the lower classes and ensure they take sides. Truly intelligent people should know whose side to stand on!

The beating lasted for a full five minutes. When the groans gradually stopped, Bai Qianxue felt it wasn't very meaningful anymore. Then, she swung her stick back and hit Ada's head like a ball!

But this is not the end, because he did not actually die.

How could the Eternal Queen kill someone? As Isha's representative, he naturally had to "save" her.

With a casual scoop, Bai Qian Shuang created an incredibly precious soul stone out of thin air... and then Ada's soul was absorbed into the soul stone!

He didn't actually kill Ada; her soul is still inside the Soul Stone. How can you say she's dead?

However, it's not much better than death. Staying inside a Soul Stone is a terrible feeling—some Ada who was stuffed into a Ghost Knight described it as...it feels like being stripped naked and thrown into the coldest, most icy wilderness.

The mournful cries from the soul stone continued, but Bai Qianshuang casually tossed the soul stone away, and a small pile of soul stones had already accumulated where it was thrown.

This illustrates not only how many treacherous officials attempted to assassinate His Majesty, but also something else entirely—

He was the chosen one who truly gained Isha's recognition and power, and was even more favored than most of the Eternal Queens—he could even create those incomparably precious Soul Stones at will!

This is actually the reason why he gained the tacit approval and even loyalty of many in the Ark world in such a short time!

After all, everyone needs to make a living; racism is just a business issue...

But Soulstones are the most important resource representing the expansion of their Ark world's population and the stability of its inhabitants.

"Caw!! Your Majesty, we love you dearly!!"

"Your Majesty, for your greatness, I want to bear your child!!"

Instead of a mutiny, Comoros erupted in cheers after Ada was beaten to death.

Bai Qianshuang gave them the middle finger and then turned off the video.

"Is this the future of our civilization you speak of? The emperor to whom we are to serve?"

Jain Zar pointed at the Eldar who were beating around like the green-skinned boys, and looked at Eldrad with a long, drawn-out question...

“At least he’s not a sadist or a pervert,” Eldrad said, glancing slightly into the distance.

"You should be content. At least with him around, we finally have a stable way to produce Soul Stones. Besides, he hates this power, doesn't he? This means that as long as you really find Isha's bloodline, he will be happy to hand over this power to her."

"Can you guarantee that?" Jain Zar stared at the old prophet, asking in a more forceful tone...

“No, it’s really just a verbal promise, but he’s powerful enough that we should listen to him,” Eldrad said calmly.

"And at the very least, we can be sure that the power they possess is not unrepeatable, and they would be happy to teach it to qualified people—Everene is still there, isn't she?"

Blood Shark, who remained in the arena awaiting assassination, wasn't doing nothing...

He now spends his free time teaching gifted Eldar the power of magnetic field manipulation.

In fact, due to the Eldar's unique triple-helix genetic structure, most Eldar possess the ability to control the rotation of magnetic fields.

However, due to their overly acute senses, most of them would die the moment they grasped this power, as the magnetic field would go out of control and cause death.
