Warhammer Inquisitor Chapter 345

  Chapter 345 Expedition Road: Webway Alliance

Some people say that the physical universe and the subspace are like two sides of a mirror, one side is reality, and the other side is a broken adversity. In the endless storm of the subspace, the opposite reflection of the real world is torn between them, one positive and the other negative, just like Light and shadow, then, there is another place, it is just between the mirror of reality and nothingness, and that is here.

  Netway, when the Milky Way was just born in the budding era, when civilization first cried, the ancient sages, the creators, pioneers and guides of countless lives among the thousands of galaxies created the Netway.

This is a highway between the real universe and the subspace storm, a perfect creation that perfectly combines all the advantages of entity and nothingness, the ancient saints use it to shuttle around the galaxy, spread life and create civilization, this ultimate perfection The creation of God is eternal and indestructible. Even if the Old Sage left the galaxy after the tragic battle of heaven, after his civilized eldest son, the Eldar, inherited the webway, they still used it to create and connect their own huge galaxy empire. every corner of the

No one thought that the webway would be destroyed one day. The Eldar think that it is eternal and the most precious property they have. No other race can touch it, so it is precisely because of this that those proud Eldar refuse to use it. And overlooked a point, a crucial point.

Those civilizations, those civilizations that seem meaningless, small and unintentional in the eyes of the Eldar, will one day catch up with this powerful but ancient and stagnant Eldar Empire, perhaps through a technological explosion, perhaps, in the long After the accumulation and research, but one day, they will catch up.

The Eldar ignored this, and their arrogance brought disastrous consequences, from a "monkey civilization" born on a planet next to the sun on a planet on the edge of the galaxy called Odd Trini by the Eldar , at least that's what the Eldar call them pejoratively, but in other civilizations and their own names, they call themselves humans.

When the human beings who established the future situation of the Milky Way in the millennium began, the Eldars did not believe, nor did they want to believe that their eternal empire would be defeated by a group of monkeys flying into the universe. , as long as the webway still exists, the Eldar Empire is invincible, and no one can destroy it.

But the final result was surprising. The proud and ancient Eldar Empire was defeated by the upstart human beings. The human civilization known as barbarians successfully found a way to destroy the webway. Before the war, countless webways and the artificial planets within them were destroyed, and the webways that once connected different corners of the vast empire collapsed in repeated raids.

Only then did the Spirit Race realize that since the technology and civilization they were proud of was entirely based on the webway, when the webway was destroyed, they suddenly realized that their arrogance for thousands of years had brought Ultimately, the Eldar were unable to rebuild the Webway anyway, or even understand it, so when the Fall came, the Eldar, with nowhere to escape, finally met their own destruction, as did many civilizations they had despised.

Today, there are only some surviving branches of the Eldar, hiding in various parts of the galaxy, or cutting off all emotional connections in order to protect themselves, or hiding in the webway and obliterating psionic energy. They are proud of themselves, using cruelty and torturing others to anesthetize themselves, and some have completely given up all the success of civilization and hid on ancient planets one by one, hoping that they can live longer.

But no matter what, the Eldar have forgotten their pride in the past, whether it is scientific or magical, they are like the remnants of a huge empire after the collapse, surviving on the ruins, fighting for survival one after another. In the struggle, I forgot everything I had.

It is very ironic that humans, who are regarded as monkeys by the Eldar, may be more called the heirs of the Eldar civilization. In order to defeat the Eldar, humans have learned and understood many things about the Eldar, their technology, their Civilization and "magic".

When the Eldar Empire collapsed, human beings became the heirs to the mantle of the ancient sages. With the Eldar technology learned and researched in the flames of war, the thriving human civilization should have ushered in its own prosperity, replacing the Eldar as the master of the galaxy prosperity.

But the final result was not like this. At the end of the golden age, human beings and this enemy who fell in love and killed each other for decades entered their own end together. With the decline of the spirit race and human beings, those ancient technologies were Almost completely forgotten, but not so, the man known as the Emperor survived all the research on the Golden Age, especially, webway technology.

Human beings understand the webway better. In order to defeat the Eldar, they humbly research and understand the technology and principles of the webway. Human beings can use this to destroy the webway, and they can also use this to create a new webway, which is completely independent of the spirit race. The brand-new webway of subspace and all material existence belongs only to human beings' own webway.

The Emperor did indeed do this. He took advantage of the golden age when the Great Crusade was advancing. Human beings successfully analyzed Eldar technology and researched the webway to build a brand new webway. He hoped to make that webway a The key to the new era, the way to salvation from the chaos of the warp.

But in the end, that webway plan was unsuccessful, and during the Horus Heresy, Magnus broke the webway's barriers, and the Emperor was forced to sit on the throne after countless chaos poured into the webway through the hole. The moment the gates of the webway were sealed to prevent the influx of demons into the physical universe, the plan that was supposed to bring about the dawn of humanity failed.

Today, the last inheritor of the webway and all ancient technologies is still sitting on the throne, and the person who caused all the disasters is also standing in a broken world like the emperor's webway, staring at With the same loss that he caused back then.

Standing on the shattered earth, Magnus looked up at the shattered sky above his head. The sky that shone with countless strange lights was like a shattered mirror, and every shard of glass was flying in the air. Floating and flickering its own light.

The scarlet Cyclops glanced at the shattered ground floating under his feet. The shattered piece of land was floating in the void, and the same shattered land and ground were everywhere around him. All the broken things were floating in the air. Through countless refractions on its mirror surface, the ghostly light is projected to the surrounding places, creating a place like a twisted dream.

Magnus raised a hand, and he gathered his power in his hand, trying to draw power from the realm of chaos to open a road, a passage out of here, but he failed, the power of chaos seemed to be blocked Isolated from the outside of this broken world.

The one-eyed Magnus looked up at the webway barrier that seemed to be far away in the sky, but was close in front of him. He squeezed his hands to his chest suddenly, and a psionic entity writhing distorted smoke appeared in his hands. , Magnus pushed it against the wall in front of him with a backhand palm.

The ever-changing churning smoke rushed towards the webway barrier, but the moment its storm-like front hit the wall, it was destroyed and dissipated in an instant, and Magnus' attack was resolved in the blink of an eye. And the webway barrier didn't show any damage at all, and it was still intact and shone with a strange light.

   "If you want to break the original webway barrier created by the Old Sage, you can't break through it like this."

A voice suddenly came from the Twisting Nether, and Magnus immediately turned his head to look, and he saw a figure coming from the haze of ghostly light, his tall armored body stepped on the broken ground of the webway Come up slowly.

The man jumped from a piece of ground that was suspended on one side of the ground where Magnus was, and another piece of ground was broken. He landed a few steps away from Magnus, and the sound of huge footsteps boomed and echoed in the air. Within the entire webway barrier, Magnus looked at him with his red-gold single eye, at the person who walked out of the thin haze.

He pushed away the mist with his huge power claws, and while looking around, he walked leisurely, "This thing is the original version, much harder than the copycat network road made by the emperor, what do you think?" It takes a lot of outlandish methods to get in."

"Vito, you're not dead yet?" Magnus looked at the man approaching and whispered, while he put his fingers on his forehead with a smile on his face, "I'm so handsome and awesome, how could I To die in such a boring place, I must be surrounded by beautiful girls when I die."

Vito boasted to himself, as if he didn't notice the psychic beam that appeared in Magnus's hand. He shot the light at Vito with a backhand palm, but the facts proved that Vito did not notice of.

When the light beam hit, Vito drew out the Phoenix Sword with his backhand, and cut off the sword without even looking at the light ball. The shattered light ball shattered into countless light particles from the ear and flew away. In the past, Vito looked helplessly at Magnus in that light.

   "Really? You still want to fight me here?"

"Why not? If you can kill you here, your soul will surely satisfy Tzeentch, even the other three gods." Magnus said, and a large cloud of blue appeared in his hands A cloud of smoke, a dense mist flickering with tiny blue lightnings, hung around him, rising around the tall giant.

Vito smiled, and that smile was full of sarcasm. He pointed at the wall of the webway with the phoenix sword in his hand, "You killed me, how can you bring my soul to your boss? What? Do you know how to get out?"

   After Magnus froze for a moment, he looked at Vito in front of him and frowned, "Listen to you, you really want to know how to get out, if you are not lying and delaying time for yourself."

"Please pay attention, this is a webway, do you have a concept of time? Besides, is it necessary for me? Whether you can beat me is still a question." Vito laughed mockingly, swiping the Phoenix Sword Carrying it on his shoulders, Magnus frowned suddenly as if he was irritated, and the blue smoke around him filled up and wrapped his arms.

  Magnus clenched his fists, all the smoke quickly gathered in his hands, two huge clouds of mist immediately suspended above his palm, and countless psychic lightning exploded like a thunderstorm.

   "If you want to try it, I'd love to."

Vito looked at the guy in front of him and waved his hands. He looked around and smiled, "Here? Forget it. If you want to fight, find a better place. After you get out, if you still want to fight, I will fight with you again. "

   "You mean, you know how to get out of here?" Magnus said, the blue lightning smoke in his hand still didn't disappear, he still held it in his hand, as if he was about to punch it out at any time.

Vito in front of him didn't seem to look at that thing at all. He walked to the edge of the broken ground, stood on the boundary that was broken into irregular sections, and looked at the void below. There are many fragments of the webway floating in the sea, they are like shipwrecks floating in the deep sea, floating around and colliding with each other under powerless conditions.

"I have lived for 50,000 years anyway, why do you always forget that I understand what the emperor understands?" Vito smiled and slowly inserted the Phoenix Sword into the scabbard, burning the blade and rattling When the voice slowly sank into the mouth of the sheath, Vito pursed his lips and muttered softly.

"Okay, maybe he doesn't understand it as well as he does, but I still understand it! No one understands the webway better than me!" Vito said, after inserting the Phoenix Sword completely into the golden scabbard, he raised a hand, and his fingers moved in the air He got up, and with the golden light in his eyes, all the fragments of the webway floating in the void below flew up.

Those fragments, large and small, shattered into different shapes, were pulled by Vito's fingers, and all of them rose from the endless flashing void. Vito looked at the countless fragments rising in front of him, dragging his chin After thinking about it for a moment, he grabbed it lightly with his raised fingers, and all the fragments flew into the air quickly.

Magnus looked at the fast-moving fragments, they spread out rapidly, and then joined each other in mid-air to quickly form many glowing strips, all the fragments were waved by Vito's fingers out of thin air, After rapidly closing towards the center, they formed a ring.

"Are you trying to... open a webway door to leave here?" Magnus asked in surprise, while Vito smiled wryly and shook his head slightly, "I still think, the flow of time in this ghost place is completely different from the outside world , God knows how long we've been here, and I'm in a hurry to go back and date my girl."

   "But, unfortunately, no, I can't directly build a webway to take us away. I can at most make a short-distance portal, and let us at least leave this ghostly place that is broken into one piece within the webway."

As Vito said, he continued to wave his fingers quickly, and the entire ring formed quickly with his swing, and the shattered wreckage gathered in front of Vito to form a huge rotating circular gate. Seeing that the gate was constructed , Vito hung his head back and looked at Magnus from an inverted perspective.

   "Okay, I've got it done here, but I need to support the structure of the portal, and I can't inject enough spiritual energy to get through it, so it's up to you."

"I?"

"Yeah, you want to leave here too, don't you? Then I think we can have a truce for the time being, and we can talk about it later, okay?" Vito smiled with that bright smile, and Magnus looked at the smile slightly wrinkled Frowning, he glanced at the portal, then back to Vito.

   "Aren't you afraid, I will activate the gate and climb in by myself, then kick you out and stay here?"

   "Well, it is indeed a problem, but I choose to believe you."

"why?"

   "Apart from cooperation, do we have any other options? So don't be stubborn, let's go out and talk about it. Two bets will work. This break makes my hands sore."

Vito said and turned back, his back was facing Magnus, as if he really didn't worry about Magnus being hit by him from behind, Magnus looked at the blue air mass in his hand, He looked up at Vito again, and his red-gold eyes instantly lit up.

The blue lightning mass howled and shot at Vito's back and head. The roaring thunder shortened the distance in a very short time. Vito could hear the thunder and feel a chill on the back of his neck. Feeling, but he didn't even turn his head, the whistling blue electric ball shot to the back of Vito's head.

But just when it was about to hit Vito, the air mass passed by his ear, and the whizzing lightning almost flew past his ear, and the tiny blue arc could even jump to Vito's body. On the earlobe, a feeling of numbness like an electric shock spread all over his body.

But at the moment when the paralysis of the brain was transmitted, the blue lightning air mass suddenly hit the center of the portal in front of Vito, and the blue air mass instantly exploded like a water polo hitting the wall. The "water" splashed forward onto the entire plane.

On the invisible plane of the portal, the blue smoke instantly spread and swept around, the gas quickly spread around like water and covered the entire surface, and the blue lightning mixed with the blue gas danced endlessly, But soon, the entire surface of the door was completely swallowed up.

The blue storm clouds kept churning in the ring of the shattered door body, and then with Vito's slight pull of his finger, all the fragments glowed at the same time, and the golden light shone into the central cloud layer, and in the blink of an eye, The entire cloud layer changed color like a piece of cloth thrown into a dye vat.

  The blue cloud quickly turned into gold from the edges around it, and the gold quickly advanced along its surface, and then merged into one mass in the center of the cloud, from which the entire blue cloud completely turned golden.

Magnus stepped forward, he looked at the golden rolling cloud, it was like a golden sea wave, dancing with the breeze in the center of the ring formed by the fragments, the cloud lost its previous murderous aura Instead, it suddenly became peaceful and reassuring.

"Good job, I knew you also studied the magic of the Eldar, okay, let's go in." Vito said and lightly hit Magnus' arm with his fist, and the latter rubbed his arm, eyes Frowning slightly, he looked at the golden ocean portal in front of him.

   "Do you know where this portal will take us?"

   "Not at all."

  Vito put his hands on his hips, and said righteously, the smile on his face did not have the corresponding expression that should appear when he answered, and Magnus looked at him coldly from the side.

   "You mean, you don't even know what is behind this? And then you want me to jump in with you?" "That's right, there will be surprises like this. You're welcome, I'll take a step first!"

   Vito jumped into the gate while talking and laughing. Magnus originally wanted to say something, but Vito had already jumped in. He stood outside the door and watched Vito sinking into the golden ocean.

   Magnus looked at the gate and was silent for a while, then sighed helplessly, he had no choice, didn't he? In addition to following Vito on the adventure, Magnus could only jump in after a sigh. His legs were the first to sink into the golden ocean, and his face quickly rushed to the surface of the sea as he jumped.

   Magnus suddenly recalled some memories. During the Great Crusade, before Horus launched the rebellion, Vito would take them on adventures like this, sometimes with one Primarch, sometimes with several.

  Although everyone will complain at the beginning that they have this and that problem to deal with and have no time to fight with Vito, but in the end, they will all participate in it, and most of the time in the end, they will be in a good mood.

Magnus recalled those memories, and jumped into the door at once. The golden ocean engulfed his vision in the blink of an eye, but immediately dispersed from his eyes, and Magnus passed through it all at once. The gate, after he jumped out, he stepped on a piece of ground, a stable, non-floating ground.

"Ah, it looks like we hit the jackpot." Vito stood a few steps away from Magnus with his hands on his hips, standing on the edge of the rock like an adventurer, and he looked at the things in the distance. After Gnus glanced at Vito, he slowly raised his head and looked forward.

  A majestic city came into view of Magnus, and an ancient Eldar ruin city came into view.

   "Welcome, Letaronia."
