Chapter 218: Regret, in short, regret
I observed, I saw through the hatred that was hidden behind the graceful manners.
I listened, and I saw the darkness that lurked behind the carefully orchestrated lies.
I'm waiting for you on the edge of sanity. I savor the pain in your heart, longing to put an end to the false pretense. I make my home in the darkest abyss of your soul.
In the shadows, I polish time. I waited patiently for you to open your eyes and realize that only my will could make you breathe. For I am a female ganchi, and you are my puppet, and you dance to my melody. - Female Ganqi
...
...
Nuganqi, also known as the god of ravens, the Lord of Change, the Trickster of Change, the God of Fortune, the Great Conspirator, the Master of Destiny, and the Weaver of Destiny, who is in charge of magic, change, evolution, fate, lies, and trickery. He is the embodiment of all things, an evil god who can truly embody the terrifying energy and power of Chaos.
Magnus was extremely sure that his warning to the emperor again this time was definitely intentional on the part of the female ganqi. After all, just to convey a message, any big demon can replace himself.
So why did Nuganchi choose Magnus?
Unlike the last time he was kept in the dark when he warned the Emperor, this time, Magnus had some knowledge of Nuganqi's plan in his mind.
The basic power of the god of chaos comes from the emotions of mortal beings.
Sadism does not exist because people worship it as a god of blood and war; Sadism exists because of the anger that all sentient beings in the mortal world can feel and burst out, the desire to destroy and kill their enemies.
And for Nüganqi, it doesn't matter whether a mortal who seeks power or thirst for knowledge does so in the name of Nüganqi, people's emotions and thoughts are enough to keep the storm going.
This is chaos, and it is the result of every weakness in mortal beings being given strength and released against themselves, without beginning and without end.
Many of Nuganqi's plans are not aimed at a specific goal, but rather simply to create chaos for the sake of creating chaos. However, one thing is certain, whenever Nuganchi wakes up from his fantasies, madness, betrayal, and conflict torment sentient beings.
In Magnus's view, the complex emotions in his heart at this time are what Nuganchi longs to see. And Magnus also knew that if he could think of all this, it must have been expected by Nuganqi.
All kinds of strong feelings filled Magnus's mind, nostalgia, regret, anger, powerlessness, despair......
But Magnus couldn't do anything.
He is like a puppet manipulated on stage by the female ganji, doing everything just to please his master. And what is even more desperate and crazy is that all his actions are completely under the control of his master.
Once when the emperor gave orders to his subordinates, those primordials could barely oppose and protest.
But now those primordial beings who have fallen into chaos and become demon princes cannot resist the orders of the evil gods at all. They have become completely appendages of the evil gods.
Magnus ascended to the top of his silver spire on the Wizarding Star, sitting alone in a chair, surrounded by a pile of books.
He knew he might never have any hope of returning to the Empire. But after a thousand years, once again issued a warning to the emperor, he couldn't help but recall the beginning.
He couldn't help but wonder what it would have been like if he had been able to make other choices.
Look at the empire at this time.
Countless scientists and psionic mentors are exploring the secrets of the subspace, and psionic energy is entering thousands of households, and the entire human race is entering the age of psionic energy.
This is simply the society that Magnus has always envisioned for mankind!
Jealousy, this uncommon emotion, should not have been in the heart of a demon prince like Magnus.
Whether it was in the Empire as a genetic prototype or now as the demon prince of Nuganqi, Magnus is the one who should be jealous.
Although he is just a chess piece in front of the evil god, he is also noble and important among the chess pieces of the evil god
That batch.
Moreover, not everyone can be the pawn of the evil god, how many Chaos believers have spent their lives calling and sacrificing just for a glimpse of the gods, but they have not received a single response from the evil god at all.
But Magnus didn't want any evil gods at all, he just wanted to be an ordinary citizen of the empire in the current empire.
Magnus was jealous that those people could be born in such an era.
Damn it! Wouldn't the emperor have done this a long time ago?
Although Magnus did not know where this so-called Son Sivir, who is currently leading the empire, came from, he learned some information.
Magnus believes that Sivir must have a very close connection with the emperor, and everything that is happening in the empire must have the shadow of the emperor behind it.
Look at the current empire!
What the emperor didn't let him do, he did it himself.
Magnus had mixed feelings, remembering the future that the Emperor had shown him that the Primordial had not rebelled: the Empire had conquered the galaxy in the name of humanity.
In that vision of the future, Magnus physically sits on a golden throne to support the network system, while the soul wanders with the emperor in eternal bliss in the immaterial space to discover the ultimate mysteries of the universe.
The Emperor was still trying to win back Magnus, and he told Magnus that the future was still possible, and that Magnus could still return to the Loyalists and lead a new army for him.
And the Thousand Sons Legion will be completely wiped out because of the rampant flesh mutation, and they will not be able to follow Magnus back to the arms of the emperor.
It's a pity that the emperor couldn't understand Magnus's feelings at that time. Unable to accept the loss of his Thousand Sons as a price, Magnus attacked the Emperor again.
At this point, Magnus completely betrayed the Empire.
Whether it's sending a psionic warning or storming Terra's palace at the time, Magnus has other options. At that time, he was not a completely chaotic puppet like now, and he had not yet been completely controlled by Nuganqi's calculations.
But was Magnus, who was firmly trapped by the web of female intrigues, really had any other choice at that time?
Hard.
Thinking about the development of the empire at this time, the establishment of human supremacy in the galaxy, and the good days when he fought in the empire were recalled.
Magnus had a taste in his heart that was difficult for others to feel.
No, maybe some people can feel it.
For example, somewhere in subspace, a man holding a holy word that had been circulated in the empire at this time had a distorted expression on his face.
At this time, the state religion of the empire was flourishing, and everyone worshipped the emperor as a god, which also stimulated another primordial who had fallen into chaos, Luo Jia.
At this time, the fact that the empire was building infrastructure in various parts of the galaxy and establishing its own galactic miracle in the starry sky also stimulated another primordial, Peturab.
Because the former Perturab himself longed to build and protect in his heart, and was praised by everyone for this, but the empire did not give him this opportunity.
...
...
"Ah! It's Lord Horus!"
A soldier of the Black Legion exclaimed.
When the orcs retreated under the leadership of Calassa, and Magnus departed with him. Abaddon began to rally his own troops on the planet.
The soldiers of the Black Legion, who had witnessed the disappearance of Abaddon's braids, knew everything. But those Chaos Space Marines who were summoned couldn't help but immediately exclaim when they saw Abaddon at this time.
Armoured Abaddon and his father Horus were almost identical, separated only by wounds and weaponry, and otherwise they were twins.
And when the distinctive identifier of the braid is lost, it is no wonder that some people are mistaken.
"Lord Horus, listen to me."
"It's the name of that bastard Abaddon Legion
From the Sons of Horus to the Black Legion."
"There is no other day, you are the only commander in my heart!"
"I'm going to repaint the Legion logo now!"
When he saw Lord "Horus" standing in front of him with a hideous face and a murderous aura, a Chaos Space Marines immediately showed their loyalty to Lord Warlord, of course, this Warlord was not the other Warlord.
As for why the long-dead Lord Horus suddenly appeared here, the Chaos Space Marines said they didn't know. But since you can have an orc wearing Ultramarine's power armor to attack you, it is not unacceptable for Lord Horus to come back from the dead.
And when our Lord Horus heard the words of this Chaos Warrior, his face became even more hideous. But he didn't say anything more, but turned and left.
was beaten by the orcs and had his braids burned, and Abaddon was already very unhappy in his heart. And after hearing the words of his subordinates, Abaddon was even more eager to kill him to vent his anger.
But Abaddon's sanity prevented him from doing so.
Although the orcs retreated temporarily, as the commander of Chaos, Abaddon had to prevent the next orc invasion. And as Magnus said, the Black Legion at this time is not capable of invading the Empire.
Not to mention invading the Empire, even resisting the orcs is a little powerless.
Therefore, every warrior is a valuable resource. Abaddon wouldn't have taken his life for the sake of this.
After all, it is foreseeable that after killing this group of Chaos Space Marines who have just arrived here and gathered, the next group of Chaos Warriors may still point at Abaddon and shout at Horus.
Killing them at this point has no use other than venting anger.
It was with this consideration that Abaddon endured the pain in his body, walked to a no-man's corner, and treated the wound on his body himself.
And in this solitary environment, what happened just now triggered Abaddon's thinking again.
A warning?
A warning to the Emperor?
Abaddon knew Magnus's current identity, and he would never reveal anything to the emperor without permission, and Magnus could not do anything beneficial to the empire.
Unless, all this was Nuganqi's idea, or it was tacitly approved by Nuganqi.
Another conspiracy against the Empire?
Abaddon's brow furrowed, he didn't understand.
Magnus also warned him not to invade the Empire in the near future, much to Abaddon's confusion.
As the commander of Chaos, it can be said that Abaddon is the number one anti-empire among the forces of Chaos.
Among the forces of Chaos, there is no one more keen to cause trouble for the Empire and want to subvert it than Abaddon.
And since Abaddon didn't accept the power of the four gods of chaos too much, he was different from those primordials who had become demon princes. At heart, Abaddon was still a human being.
This is also the reason why he was able to lead the Black Army in and out of subspace and reality freely.
And according to Magnus, it seems that there is no place for the Black Legion to be needed next. This made Abaddon even more confused about what kind of trickery the female ganqi was up to.
You must know that although the vitality of the Black Army is greatly damaged now, in the real universe, compared to demons, it is still more useful for Chaos Space Marines.
Is Chaos going to give up on himself?
Abaddon couldn't help but have a doubt in his heart.
It's no wonder that the Chaos Warlord is so suspicious. After all, in the past, the gods of chaos were engaged in a never-ending struggle in order to gain greater power. It is called the game of greatness (e).
This is a game in which the gods of Chaos are fighting for absolute dominance in the Chaos Realm.
The subspace is not only the abode of the Chaos gods, but also their battlefield. Although this war will never end, the Chaos Gods have focused almost all of their energy on this great game.
They seldom turn their attention to the physical universe, and even if they do, it is only a quick glimpse, because the great game is far more substantial than the physical
Those things in the universe are much more important.
But the Chaos Gods may cooperate in some very specific situations.
These situations usually refer to the rise of an extremely powerful being that can attract the interest of the gods in the physical universe.
The Emperor was one of them, so the four gods together provoked the Horus Rebellion and deposed the emperor, which temporarily diverted the attention of the four gods from the great game.
And after the end of the Horus Rebellion, the four gods began their never-ending struggle again.
And the black expeditions that Abaddon usually invaded the empire and launched were not worthy of the attention of the four gods at all. So all along, Abaddon was not actually a puppet of the four gods like the Demon Primordial. He has always been subverting the empire according to his own ideas.
But this in no way means that Abaddon can ignore the will of the four gods, and he must consider the attitude of the four gods of chaos.
Of the great games, Rogant loves this game more than any other pastime.
For the Grand Conspirator Female Ganqi, this game offers not only endless fun, but also endless opportunities. Not only is Nuganqi constantly fulfilling his own ambitions, but he also spends his time satisfying his desires and coming up with the perfect plan to manipulate or deal with his opponents.
But now, Nuganqi's attention has been diverted from the great game, and once again the layout has begun to be directed at the Empire.
This made Abaddon feel a little bad.
The empire will be destroyed, but he will be destroyed by my hand.
Abaddon felt the need to learn more.
