Flame......

The dry sand lapped at the side of his face, and the towering red pyramids in the distance collapsed with a grief, and he was about to lift his knife as the winter wind tugged at his mantle, and the wolf's whimper echoed low.

The emperor opened his eyes, and he calmly watched as Macado entered the house.

"My lord, it's coming soon, and the legions are ready."

The emperor lowered his eyes, and the golden flames burned,

"Tell Hades that if he is sure that the Crimson Sinners will give a speech ordering the surrender of the Thousand Sons, then the Empire will be kind to the rest of the people on Prospero."

Makado looked at the emperor quietly,

"My lord, what if Hades is not sure?"

"Then I'll use my psionic powers to forge Magnus's orders."

——————

Only a fool would step into battle for the satisfaction of defeating someone. 】

[War is never the goal, the purpose of war is the people behind it, as well as the civilization and wisdom that people carry——]

"So that's why you left the space wolf on the battlefield and took Chiko alone to protect the alien library?"

Magnus let out a loud sound of chagrin, and the Crimson Sinner was sitting cross-legged, and he patted his knee angrily,

[The Wolf King - Riemanrus is a dog!] He didn't understand how precious an entire library was intact, and he would just lead his puppies to bite and bite! 】

"But I heard that the Space Wolf suffered heavy losses in that cooperative operation because of the sudden retreat of Chiko?"

Magnus gritted his teeth and stopped talking, and it took him a long time to say that it was Ruth's own tactical mistake.

"And what about that collaboration with Conrad Coetzes?"

But the other side is in hot pursuit.

Hades blinked and asked naturally,

"I heard you almost got into a fight with him because Coates was adamant about burning down a library, and you objected?"

[Would you rather believe a mad man who believes in prophecy and a dog, than believe me?!] 】

Hades coughed, and then he watched Magnus immediately wilt.

"I didn't mention it first this time."

【…… Yes. 】

Magnus was once again depressed, and the fact that he might suddenly become a prisoner made him sentimental.

But Magnus himself knew exactly what he had done, and the Crimson Sinner also wanted to find a corner for him to escape the harsh reality, just as he did in the original book-

Knowing that he had blown up the net, Magnus felt guilty, and he personally cut off contact with Chiko and locked himself in the library, leaving Chiko alone to face the judgment from the wolf.

Hades's evaluation is that the emperor's bloodline is extremely strong, and the sons of the pit are all ancestral.

Of course, so is the cheat daddy.

【…… Hades, will they use an extermination order on Prospero? 】

Magnus asked suddenly,

Hades raised an eyebrow,

"And what do you want them to do with Prospero?"

He looked at Magnus for a long time, and finally couldn't say anything.

After all, the situation on the Thousand Sons Mother Star, Magnus himself knows best.

In the restaurant, food is ordered with psionic energy, free psionic medical treatment for all, basically all psionic people, and the spirit calling array is all over every corner that is convenient to summon, and in front of the pyramid of the Fire Phoenix School, there is a war god machine that can only be manipulated by psionic energy.

Everything looks good – if psionic energy is ignored.

Hades wondered what the emperor had shown Magnus?

The Immortal guessed that it might have been Tzeentch or the truth about Chaos, or Magnus wouldn't have been so devastated, he was so completely aware of his mistake that even rebuttals would have made Magnus feel ashamed.

"Think about it for good,"

Hades said that he realized that Magnus was about to fall into a sea of self-blame again, and he was afraid that this guy would drown himself,

"At least some of your heirs will remain, and they will inherit your good part of the spirit and continue to contribute to the empire and humanity."

"And as long as you stay good and don't cause trouble, in case one day the empire can really get rid of the subspace garbage, and when the emperor is idle, I guess he can beat you up and then release you, instead of being locked up all the time."

Magnus seemed to think about what Hades had said, and then he shook his head with a pale face,

[I'd rather the emperor never think of me.] 】

Magnus said sullenly,

"I don't want to face him anymore. 】

"What did he do to you—"

Magnus cried violently,

[No, don't mention it!] 】

"Good, good, good! Change one! ”

Hades hurriedly interrupted Magnus's yelling,

"So what do you know?"

Hades asked tentatively,

"I know everything. 】

Magnus buried his face in his hands, he couldn't see anything now, his broad palm rubbed his face roughly, Magnus said sullenly,

[Everything—all unacceptable realities, absurd old days, distorted futures, those things that blaspheme evil, no ...... No, no, no......]

"And you're entangled in one of them."

[Don't talk about it!] 】

Magnus cried out again in horror,

[Subspace can perceive language and thinking!] Just mention it and you'll be watched! 】

It's a pity that he didn't meet Magnus sooner and then know about it, otherwise Hades wouldn't have given the entire Death Guard a spoiler buff at that time, which made Motarian nervous every day now.

"But I'm a soulless."

Hades said calmly,

"Guess why he told me to come and see you."

Magnus froze, and then he remembered Hades' identity again, but unfortunately, every communication with Hades always made him forget the fact that this guy was a goddamn soulless.

Magnus took a deep breath and said tiredly,

[Then will you keep watch over me all the time?] If it's you...... At the very least, it can block out the connection between the vast ocean and me. 】

Magnus sighed, he had been crudely stuffed with endless knowledge by the Emperor, and he knew it wasn't...... It wasn't something he should have touched, and the thought of a mark on his soul that still had it on it—

Magnus shuddered without a trace, and he suddenly felt that it was a good thing to have a soulless shield.

Hades briefly recalled Machado's pua quote to him,

"Most likely, I'll watch over you, and then I'll be replaced, I guess it's Machado."

Magnus let out a loud wail, he didn't seem to like Machado either, and Hades said with relief,

"It's okay, I hate Machado too, I don't respect the old and love the young at all-"

"Bang bang!"

The sound of a huge bridge of scepters knocking on the ground, Hades slowly turned his head,

"Yo, old horse, good, good."

Hades sneered, Magnus swore he had never seen someone change his face so quickly, and although he couldn't see it, the attitude in Hades' tone changed instantly.

Makado stood there expressionless,

"Hello, Hades."

The old man gritted his teeth and said, the scepter in his hand trembled slightly,

"You should be glad you have a mission now."

"Ahaha, hahahaha, look, isn't it-"

Magnus had never heard a gloomy Machado say this, and no one had ever dared to speak to the Regent of the Empire like this, Magnus once again marked in his heart that Hades was no ordinary man.

After a few scraping sounds, everything fell silent, and Magnus was silent in the darkness calmly and uneasily, and the Crimson Sinner wondered why Machado had suddenly come.

Is it to punish him?

Magnus thought, but then he smiled bitterly inwardly, as if laughing at his own innocence.

On the other side, Macado gestured twice with Hades in sign language, and then the old man coughed and left again.

Magnus naturally didn't see it, and Hades's expression became heavy.

Haddeston paused, his voice serious,

"Macado has given me a mission, Magnus."

[Say, what else can it be?] I can imagine all the torture. 】

Magnus said lightly, but his restrained and taut muscles betrayed him,

Hades was silent for a moment, absolute silence—the kind of silence that Magnus had longed for—and Magnus suddenly felt a suffocating panic, and he was enveloped in absolute silence.

He even wanted to shout to see if his caretaker was still there.

"Let's not mention what Machado gave me,"

Hades said that he was holding his scythe, always on the lookout,

"I've always been curious about one thing, Magnus, why are you ...... Why did you give your other eye to the emperor? ”

Magnus shuddered.
