Chapter 227: Blackstone Fortress
As Sivir and the psionic avatar continued to engage in fierce battles, the energy in their bodies was also rapidly decreasing.
For Sivir, after his avatar energy was depleted, he would only fall into a period of weakness himself. And the power of this psionic incarnation in front of him was exhausted, which meant that the hope of the Chaos Evil God coming to reality was completely shattered.
Therefore, it is very beneficial for the empire to continue to develop according to the current situation.
But will it really be that smooth?
At this time, Sivir, whose attention was completely attracted by the psionic incarnation, did not notice that in a subspace crack in the psionic beacon under him, a crimson figure quietly appeared.
The dark energy converged at an astonishing speed, converging into a terrifying vortex of flames, wings flapping, giant horns hideous, Magnus, the scarlet king, and the fallen Thousand Sons Primordial came to this battlefield.
And he also has some powerful supreme wizards by his side.
After the Legion of the Thousand Sons descended into chaos, they further delved into the most forbidden psionic spells to perfect their devastating sorcery skills, and the Supreme Sorcerer, the leader of the various sects of the Thousand Sons, was one of the few Space Marines in the Legion who still existed in human form.
The strength of their power and the depth of their mastery of witchcraft are beyond doubt.
But even these powerful Supreme Wizards and Magnus together are no match for Sivir above the psionic beacon.
Sivel's casual blow, maybe these Supreme Wizards will have to resist with all their might.
Still, Magnus had led them here, to this very dangerous place, just to fulfill the orders of his master.
What an irony, Magnus, who had betrayed the empire for the sake of his army of a thousand sons, now had to ignore the danger and bring with him the few wizards in the legion who still had their bodies in order to fulfill the orders of his evil master.
Over the years since the Great Rebellion, Magnus has become increasingly aloof and detached from his legions and the real world. He spends most of his time playing great games in the subspace of the Dark Gods, but he doesn't care as much about the Legion of a Thousand Sons as he once did.
It's no wonder that Cayan no longer thinks of him as his father, believing that he has become a puppet of Tzeentch. He was even able to do things like forcing Magnus to kneel before Abaddon. And this is also the reason why he is called the "King Breaker".
But don't underestimate Magnus just because he knelt down to Abaddon. (Magnus: All Chaos Primordials are on their knees, and if they all kneel, they all kneel, they don't kneel!) )
In any case, Magnus is also a primordial, and Abaddon's strength is far from it.
However, if the object of comparison is replaced by Siwell, that is, Magnus and Sivir are far apart, and there is at least 108,000 Abaddon in the middle.
What can Magnus, who is so "weak", do here?
......
Another place for psionic beacons is where a demon breaks into reality.
But unlike the other demons, this one had two heads on his neck, was dressed in a gorgeous robe, and the wings behind him were wide open. What is even more surprising is that the head of this demon is a bird head, that is, the head of a bird.
If he stands on a certain imperial building and spreads his wings, I am afraid that the people of the empire with bad eyes will even take him as the imperial double-headed eagle emblem carved on the imperial building.
Could it be that not only the orcs believe in the emperor, but even the demons have joined the empire under the inspiration of the emperor?
He was even loyal enough to turn his form into an imperial icon!
However, with the appearance of some Changing Lords around this demon, his identity gradually became clear.
Not the Empire's Double-Headed Eagle, but I, Tzeentch Prophet, Carlos the Weaver!
Carlos appeared, and the arrival of the archdemon caused a whirlpool in the Aether, and even the air seemed to become thick.
The appearance of Magnus, the appearance of Carlos, there is no doubt that those evil gods have a new move when they see that their plan to come to reality is about to fail.
Even though Magnus and Carlos wield immense power, they were still not strong enough to join Sivir in the battle with the psionic avatars.
But the Four Gods of Chaos can!
Their power is endless, and as masters of illusion and magic, Tzeentch provides wizards with incredible power to destroy. And other Chaos Gods also have this ability.
This method of borrowing the evil gods of chaos, or mobilizing the power of subspace, is often referred to as "witchcraft".
Witchcraft does not rely on psionic powers, and even non-psionic beings can achieve the same or similar powers as psionics with the right rituals and spells. During the Horus Rebellion, Erebath of the Legion of the Bearers was a prime example.
A psyker who has learned witchcraft can use it to increase his psionic level, even surpassing those of his own illuminated counterparts, but witchcraft also brings evil spirits and is generally cursed and corrupted.
But for cultists or demons, the price of these witchcraft doesn't seem so hard to accept.
However, there is a strong sense of uncertainty about this witchcraft.
The power obtained by asking for the evil god is not the same for different people, and it may be that a cultist can become the chosen one of the evil gods simply by calling the name of the evil god.
Somebody may have offered a large number of sacrifices and paid a huge price, only to receive only a curse.
As for the witchcraft that does not pray to the evil gods, but studies the nature of the subspace and invokes the power of the subspace itself, it does not mean that it is absolutely safe and secure.
The gods can easily interfere with these witchcraft.
When you are targeted by evil gods, they may bless you, and even if you don't want to accept it, they may thwart your witchcraft and take pleasure in your failures.
The end result of the study of witchcraft is usually inevitable corruption and depravity. This is also why the study of witchcraft was forbidden in the previous empire.
But the Demon Primordial and the Chaos Great, who are themselves corrupted and depraved, could not have used the power of their masters to any lesser extent.
At this moment, Magnus will be performing sorcery with Carlos, wielding the powerful power of the evil gods.
To the chanting of the wizards beside him, Magnus raised his arms and shouted ominous incantations, as did Carlos.
The subspace responded to the call of the Crimson Lord and the Life Weaver, and the powerful power of the subspace turned into entangled tentacles that surrounded Sivir and the Psionic Avatar above the Psionic Beacon.
At this time, Sivir realized that when his attention was focused on the psionic incarnation, Chaos' plans had already begun. But Sivir didn't find out in time, and he couldn't stop the witchcraft from being used.
With the final spell exploding, Magnus finished casting, twitching aetheric tentacles tightening, binding Sivir and the psionic avatar.
The tentacles condensed by the powerful subspace energy were no less than the minions of the desolate beasts, and under the tearing and entanglement of the subspace power, the bulkheads in the psionic beacon shrummed, and fire and irregular gravitational fluctuations swept through every deck. It's even about to be pulled from the real universe into subspace.
The cursed warriors attacked Magnus and Carlos, who were using sorcery, but countless demons stood in their way.
By the time Magnus's spell had dissipated, the final outcome of the battle between Sivir and the psionic avatar was no longer as Sivir had predicted.
Magnus and Carlos' sorcery not only temporarily restrained Sivir, but also stuffed a large amount of subspace energy into the body of the psionic incarnation.
When Sivir breaks free from his restraints and tries to vent his anger on the traitors and demons Magnus and Carlos in the psionic beacon beneath him, he discovers that their presence is not felt in the psionic beacon at all.
They had long since left, back in subspace.
The unnatural roar of the psionic avatar in front of him refocused Sivir's attention on the battle between the two.
At this time, the incarnation of spiritual energy no longer showed any resemblance to the emperor, and the body originally created by the emperor had become a blasphemous alien state.
After absorbing a large amount of subspace energy, the appearance of the psionic avatar gradually evolved in the direction of the demon.
His feet gradually turned into beast-like hooves, his hands gradually turned into sharp claws, and the color of his body became chaotic, as if to show his current chaos.
Sivir knew his plan was no longer working.
It was not only the psionic incarnation at this time that re-replenished a wave of power, where the present world and the void strangely merged, the brilliance of the stars obscured by supernatural curtains, and only the sinister and twisted worlds flickered in the sky.
Magnus and Carlos' witchcraft is not over yet, and there is still a steady stream of subspace energy replenishing the body of the psionic incarnation.
At the same time, Sivir's own anger was becoming uncontrollable, and his mind was becoming more and more difficult to concentrate, and his mind was tormented by visions that only he could see.
Sivir saw that the ideal city of Terra had been burned to the ground, and the fortress of humanity had been reduced to nothing like a tiny speck of dust in a downpour of blood.
What happened in the center of the hazy star field psionic beacon repeats itself in Terra, and countless demons pour into reality from behind the Emperor's Golden Throne. However, the emperor's body was eroded by the power of the Chaos Evil God.
He watched as the massive structures of the solar system built by humanity shattered into thousands of pieces, and the corpses of those structures turned into a meteor shower that smashed into the devastated Terra.
The whispers of the evil god echoed in Sivir's mind, and they never stopped.
These visions whipped Sivir like torture, and the treacherous and repetitive voices claimed that they were nothing more than fragments of the future.
They told him that all of this was just a glimpse of fate—that it wouldn't have happened if it weren't for his insistence on escaping the Maelstrom and his insistent attempt to complete the Terra Expedition.
They persuaded him to give up the struggle and let what was happening happen.
They promised him that Sivir would sacrifice himself to succumb to madness and despair in order to save humanity from its terrible end.
However, these whispers in his ears and visions in front of him made Sivir's will even stronger.
"Hehe, let's see who has the last laugh!"
Ignoring these whispers from the Chaos Gods themselves, Sivier did not blindly defend this time, but instead took the lead in attacking the psionic avatar.
This is not the first time that Sivir has heard the words of these Chaos Evil Gods and felt the existence of these Chaos Evil Gods.
In fact, from the first day Sivir came to this world, the four gods of chaos continued to tempt and threaten him. It wasn't until he stepped into the palace of Terra, met the emperor, and had a soul connection with him, that the whispers in his ears and the visions in front of him disappeared.
Until then, every day and night on the planet Orunki, every moment of the chaos in the Hayleon Sector, Sivir's heart had repeated the battle between heaven and man, but he had never shown the slightest abnormality to the people around him.
He continues to play the role of leader, responding to the expectations of his followers, presenting himself as indestructible, relentless in his search for a way to save humanity, and Sivir is determined not to believe any lies instilled in him by any of the creatures entrenched in the Land of Nightmares.
Day after day, Sivir's will was never worn away, his determination was never changed.
Sivir wouldn't have fallen into the arms of chaos before, and not now.
If there is anyone in the empire who is least likely to become a servant of the Chaos Evil God, then the first is definitely the emperor, and the second is Sivir.
Because Sivir and the Emperor have a psychic connection.
Sivir is the emperor's anchor point in the real world, and his existence ensures that the emperor's humanity will not completely disappear under the relentless washing of subspace energy, and his existence ensures that the emperor will not be completely trapped in the subspace.
And this connection is a two-way street, through this connection, the emperor can share his huge energy with Sivir, so that Sivir, like the emperor, will become more and more powerful in the faith of countless human beings.
Through this connection, Sivir's soul is naturally also shrouded by the emperor, and the four gods of chaos want to corrupt and reverse Sivir's will, so let's first corrupt the emperor.
However, while Sivir's will will not be distorted, the whispers of the Chaos God did cause great trouble for Sivel's battle.
This is not something that can be completely isolated from the influence by silently reciting in your heart, "If you don't look at it, if you don't look at it, if you don't listen to it, if you don't listen to it, you can't listen to it."
Imagine what would happen when someone suddenly yells in your ear when you are incredibly focused.
And Sivir, who is now fighting with the psionic incarnation, seems to have thousands of voices in his ears, and some visions appear in front of him from time to time.
If you keep it for a long time, you will lose it.
It was with these distractions, and with himself already at an irreparable disadvantage, that Sivir chose to take the initiative to attack.
Only in this way would he be able to make the battle between himself and the psionic avatar longer, and only then would he be able to wait for the arrival of Sivir's avatar before he came here, the other plan he had prepared, the Blackstone Fortress.
