Chapter 370 360. Are you having fun? Why don't you watch it?
[Main Hall of Nicaea Conference]
Magnus felt his soul trembling.
He stood on the bright and exposed stage, like a crystal toy displayed behind the glass window, with countless eyes staring at him, questioning, mocking, and uneasy.
Those...those villains who only laugh at the Scarlet King in the audience, hiding themselves in the sea of people!
Magnus thought angrily, but his anger was as fleeting as it came, and he began to look empty and pale again, a helpless victim in the spotlight.
He stared hard at the culprit - at least he still had the courage to no longer hide his true face in the darkness of fraud!
He looked directly at the monster disguised as a soulless man. The brief pause in his gaze made Magnus dizzy and he had to look away.
He saw the ignorant Mortarion, the rude Leman Russ, and the cruel-looking Angron - they were all blind! Don't they know the true identity of the so-called Hades? !
But he had no time to curse them. Magnus looked at Fulgrim for help. How he wished someone would stand up for him. Fulgrim frowned sadly and shook his head slightly at him.
...The phoenix is worth looking at but useless!
Magnus cursed in his heart. He looked at the angel. The angel's eyes were as cold as ice, like a sculpture about to be broken. He didn't respond to Magnus's plea at all. He just sat there. over there.
Magnus' soul gasped loudly and looked at White Scar's think tank with erratic eyes, but he saw White Scar's think tank chief looking at him guiltily. This was not a situation that a Space Marine could resolve.
…Why didn’t Khan come? Did he already know the purpose of this trial?
Filled with grief and anger that he had been betrayed, Magnus looked towards the Thousand Sons' sitting area, where his heirs were staring at him worriedly.
He cannot fall.
If he fell, one of the great psykers of the Imperium, then the study of psionic power would plunge back into an eon of darkness, and they would have to burn books and bury instruments.
Magnus took a deep breath, and his spell-casting hand trembled slightly. If he summoned the guardian elves, could these mortals understand the truth about the elves?
The Thousand Sons rarely display their guardian spirits in front of outsiders. The beauty of these little guys is difficult for mortals to understand, but every psyker will understand their charm. After the wise men discussed naming these warp beings, Before becoming "Guardian Spirits", the Thousand Sons called them angels.
"Angel" is a word rich in religious connotations and irrational, so it was abandoned. Angels do not exist in this world, nor do they exist - Magnus's peripheral
vision slightly glimpsed the one who was distorted in the etheric perspective. Screaming darkness.
Well, the devil still exists, and now he's trying to bring humanity back to the ignorant Middle Ages.
Hades slightly raised the giant sword he was holding on both hands, and there was a slight sound of hitting the ground.
On the high platform, Malcador's voice sounded,
"Magnus, pay attention to your time."
In the shadows, someone frowned.
Magnus looked at Hades' expressionless face,
"Scarlet King, silence and lies will consume the remaining trust of the Silent Order in psykers."
Magnus read out his unfinished words. , Hades was threatening him, taunting him into wearing down the Empire's patience with psykers.
Magnus raised his voice, and his high-pitched voice echoed in the hall,
[There is natural kindness in the vast ocean, but it is not a stupid thing, and it will not open the door to prejudice! 】
Hades closed his eyes and opened them after a moment of silence,
"You are not justified, show me your evidence, Magnus."
Magnus trembled slightly, he - can he summon the guardian spirit here? ? But doesn’t this mean declaring in front of everyone that the truth of the Empire does not exist? !
Magnus abides by the constraints of the Empire's truth, and he does not want to tell the Emperor's lies in public!
No, no, no, no - he could describe the Guardian Spirit as some kind of psionic species, bonded with the Thousand Sons through psionic energy.
But, he really, he really wanted to—
on the high platform behind him, the loud sound of Malcador's scepter hitting the ground completely shattered Magnus.
No one supports him! Even Malcador is colluding with that devil! Then he, why can't he prove his innocence? Why stoop to lies? !
Magnus took a deep breath, raised his right hand, psychic lightning crackled, and as he waved his hand, a magic circle appeared on the ground beside him.
Confused runes twisted on it as if alive.
In the audience, the archangel's eyes widened. He held the armrests with both hands and stood up slightly. The gold and silver ornaments on his wings made a slight collision sound.
No, the archangel said softly.
The White Scar think tank frowned and crossed his arms uneasily. Behind him, all the think tanks looked unhappy.
In the Thousand Sons rest area, Ahriman and the other Thousand Sons stared at Magnus nervously. Whose guardian spirit would their father summon?
The wolf king purred menacingly.
Others who didn't understand psychic powers looked on with curiosity or fear.
Hades's face was expressionless, the fish was hooked, he thought.
Magnus opened his arms and walked around to show people the spirit summoning circle. He specially selected a quiet and docile guardian elf.
Then, he began to chant, and the scarlet king's red hair moved automatically without wind, and his spiritual energy shone, tearing through the darkness.
Normally, the Scarlet King only needs a spirit-summoning magic circle and a thought to summon guardian elves that can serve a city. But now his brows are getting more and more wrinkled, and beads of sweat are appearing.
It was difficult for him to sense his guardian spirit. There were too many soulless people here, which weakened his connection with the vast ocean.
Maybe he should give up, but failing a simple summoning spell in public was hard for Magnus to accept.
The voice of his incantation increased, and the density of psychic lightning around him instantly increased.
Sanguinius frowned, and the Archangel clenched his fists angrily. What on earth was Magnus doing? !
Hades's eyes darkened, had Tzeentch escaped? right?
If this were the case, Magnus would at best be punished for lying rather than proving that he had committed a heinous crime.
Hades tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword, Magnus, he thought softly, come on.
Sweat beads streaked across his cheeks, and Magnus waved his arms, making him look more like a medieval wizard. His heart was beating violently, and he was desperately looking for a familiar breath in the vast ocean - above
. !
"It's going to run away!!!"
Kirkland's scream exploded in Vox's ears. Vox tightly hugged the left leg of the Forbidden Army that fell to the ground and was twitching and struggling. He pulled out the white bullet from his waist and exploded it directly. .
boom!
The thing in the body of the Forbidden Army let out an unimaginable scream.
Bjorn, who was holding the Forbidden Army's right hand, was choked by the white bullet dust and coughed violently, but he still held on to the Forbidden Army Amon and struggled desperately to break free. hand, and at the same time, he used his feet to kick the Imperial Guard.
Jin's huge body directly pressed against the Imperial Army, most of Bjorn, and the smaller half of Vox. The Mechanical Sage was slamming the Imperial Army's neck with his mechanical arm.
The four of them were struggling on the ground. Amon desperately wanted to stand up, but the remaining three would never let him stand up and find his balance.
Kirkland stood next to the tumbling people. He roared and used the Martian ax to hit the Imperial Guards who were buried under the three people from time to time. Vox was sure that he had been struck twice by Kirkland by mistake.
Hauser shivered in the corner of the room. Just now, the Fortress began to laugh evilly and said incomprehensible words. The next moment, he was knocked away by Jin. He saw Kirkland being thrown against the wall by the Fortress, Vox and Wild Bear. Rushing into the room.
Wild Bear rushed forward first and received the Forbidden Army's attack. After a black bomb exploded, Vox leaned over and hit the Forbidden Army's waist. At the same time, the needle in his hand directly pierced the gap in the armor that Kirkland had just torn apart.
The disturbing liquid was injected, and the Custodes began to twitch, which gave them a chance. Wild Bear and Vox dragged the battlefield to the ground, and the Custodes' weapons were thrown aside before being kicked away by Kirkland. The Custodian roared in annoyance, and once he almost stood up, but Jin jumped directly and hit him, and Hawser heard the crisp sound of bones breaking.
"Another white bullet!!!"
Kirkland yelled, and Vox spat out a mouthful of blood,
"I'm almost out! There's only one left!!!"
"You little bastard who goes to the battlefield without a gun! Pluto despises you! !!"
Kirkland screamed and hit the Custodes on the head with the ax again.
Vox cursed, he had already thrown more than a dozen white bullets! Only one black bomb was used!
"What are you afraid of! Sister Silence is coming soon!"
Bjorn roared,
it can't be Sister Silence! They need evidence, not even a video of the evidence! The Soulless Ones will expel their last hope -
"It can't be Sister Silence!!"
King and Kirkland shouted at the same time, and then Kirkland roared,
"Blow up the ground! Blow it up!!! Here is the main hall. !!"
"Why are you crazy?! Kirkland! Can you blast the floor of a defense building?!"
Jin's electronic voice crackled, but Vox saw the appendages under the great sage's red robe stretched out, and above What he is holding is
dynamite.
"Father above me!!! What are you going to do?!"
Bjorn shouted angrily and confused, but the three madmen who came out of the Death Guard ignored him.
"That's right!!"
Kirkland yelled crazily. The sage's body trembled, and the parts and explosives fell to the ground at the same time. Vox suspected that the sage had removed all the explosive parts.
Vox desperately realized that he shouldn't be here again, but he remembered Mortarion's instructions. He gritted his teeth and roared,
"No!!! It's going to escape! There's nothing we can do-"
The Imperial Guard violently Twitching, the radiance of psychic energy suddenly increased, and Vox seemed to hear the monster's desperate cry.
Someone was strengthening its connection with this space!
Vox was overjoyed. He praised this good man with good intentions, and hurriedly removed all the black bullets from his body and threw them to Kirkland. This caused him to be kicked by the Forbidden Army again, and his facial bones must have been fractured.
"In the name of Hades!" Hades raised his head
subconsciously,
Kirkland roared, the sage shot at the hill-like explosives next to the Forbidden Army, and the first ray of fire lit up -
"Bang!!!"
With electronic eyes, Hades was probably one of the few people in the audience who saw the whole process clearly.
Time seemed to be slowed down, and countless things happened in one moment.
The ceiling of the towering stage was blown open, and the thick smoke covered all the scenes. He saw a falling mass of things - Hades
identified it as Vox, a Space Wolf, a Custodes, and Jin.
Before a question came up in Hades' mind, he saw a mechanical arm extending from the gap, and with lightning speed, he pulled back Jin who was lying tightly on the Imperial Guard.
The light hit the falling debris and smoke. Inside were Vox, Wolf, and Custodes.
The location where they landed was - Hades moved his gaze downwards, and he saw the successful smile on Magnus's face who had not yet reacted, and the spirit summoning circle was emitting light that looked like success - —The center of the spirit-summoning array.
At that moment, the Archangel stood up in fear, Dorn stood up and was about to draw his knife, Mortarion's hand was halfway holding the gun, Fulgrim's shouting mouth had opened, and Corax tried to hide into the darkness.
Is this a big job for Tzeentch?
Hades thought and raised his sword. He was warned in advance by Kirkland's prayer and was the first to react.
He watched the mass of things smash straight into the magic circle. The moment they landed, there seemed to be a moment of silence, but most people still didn't react. Magnus relied on inertia to finish the last note.
There was a small explosion.
Psychic energy explodes!
The twisted blue figure flashed across everyone's retinas for a moment, so short that no one could tell whether it was a false phantom or real -
Hades jumped up.
The screams that had not yet been uttered were suddenly extinguished, and the darkness lit up for a moment like a fragment. When people were shocked to find themselves standing, with tears streaming from the corners of their eyes, and looking towards the center of the stage tremblingly, they saw the Lord of the Silent Order standing there. Next to Magnus who collapsed on the ground.
The broken knife stood lightly beside the Scarlet King, as if it only needed a little force...
Hades lowered his head, absolute darkness enveloped his face, and the scarlet light stared straight at Magnus.
The dazzling light fell from behind Hades, rendering him a dazzling silhouette.
"Others may not know it,"
"Magnus,"
Hades said softly, so softly that only Magnus, who was breathing heavily, could hear his whisper,
"but I know exactly what you are doing."
" So, Magnus, do you know what you are doing now?"
Magnus looked at the spirit summoning circle tremblingly, the light had gone out, and he saw the dying Imperial Army lying there.
He was breathing hard and uncontrollably. As the initiator of the magic circle, he was natural, he was natural - Magnus gasped and retched violently.
On the throne, the Lord of Humanity stood up, with monstrous golden waves rolling in his unruffled eyes.
+Magnus, are you guilty? +
————
Out of the sight of everyone, Mortarion silently kicked Vox behind Hades who had just kicked him down and covered his mouth without daring to moan.
The wolf on Ruth's side also suddenly lay obediently beside the Wolf King, as if he had piled up a hill.
King and Kirkland high-fived each other while they were hanging on the ceiling.
For Pluto, they cheered each other in binary, and by the way, they packaged the virus into the message.
4.1k, and, yay!
