Chapter 348: A plan within a plan
……
When the fleet battle is going on.
Carlos, the Weaver of Destiny, is in an asteroid-turned-void base.
The Lord's two heads were fixed in the direction of the fleet's battle, but there was an impermeable wall in front of it.
Carlos doesn't need eyes to see everything, he can see the past and the future, and if he can't, the book of destiny that records everything in the future will help him see.
But at this moment, Carlos' vision of the future was nothing but a blank mass, a large pile of dead people.
The book of fate is quietly turning the pages, and each page records the experiences of one dead person after another.
[Gray, died at the bottom of Tyrone's nest.] 】
[Adam, died in the mouth of the Tyranid beast. 】
The experiences and records of these dead men mean nothing to Carlos, the only thing that can be done is to make the decision to run away quickly, so as not to be hunted down by a horde of soulless people who should have been dead people or weapon consumables, as he had done last time in Cadia.
The Lord of Changeling gently raised the Staff of Tomorrow and slammed it against the wall in front of him.
Any object touched by the Staff of Tomorrow undergoes a continuous and grotesque transformation, with the wall turning from flesh to crystal, but no matter how it changes, it has the function of allowing Carlos to penetrate it and return to the Crystal Realm.
"Back to ...... Fast...... Come here...... Demon ......"
Carlos was about to enter the wall when he heard a whisper.
It was a whisper from the Lord of Change, and its power was unprecedentedly powerful due to the changes in the real universe, and even caused Carlos, who was already part of the essence of the Lord of All Changes, to feel torment and pain.
This series of whispers formed a message in Carlos's mind: Come back quickly.
Tzeentch's urging made Carlos subconsciously retract the step he had taken, away from the wall.
For Carlos, if his master doesn't urge him to do something, then he must do it, otherwise he has to sum it up, is there any trap in it.
"Return!"
Another whisper reached Carlos' ears.
Carlos closed the passage opened in the wall to return to the Crystal Demon Domain, and began to wonder if he should stay in the Maelstrom for a while.
The whisper didn't sound again, but Carlos heard someone speak again, and the voice was familiar, the voice of Magnus, the primordial who had ascended to the demons.
"Come back." "It's part of the plan. ”
Although Magnus was considered more reliable than his master to Carlos, he did not listen to the Ascension Primordial, as its honest mind did not believe that it was part of the plan.
The original plan was to find Killiman through the Book of Fate, and then Carlos and Magnus in the Maelstrom and the other in the Tzeentch Demon Domain, using the lives and souls of millions of people to make Killiman doomed.
If it really goes according to plan and Kiliman runs away, then Magnus should immediately go after Kiliman, stop his good brother and tie him back, and find a way to make Kiliman fall.
But this is what Magnus is going to do, Carlos thinks his mission is done, and if it were not for a whisper from his master, he would not hesitate to return to the Crystal Demon Domain.
"We have to prepare for bigger plans." Magnus continued to persuade, "The bigger plan is what matters, and we have to address a bigger threat." ”
Carlos is still undecided, believing that Magnus has a certain probability of being a scam with his master.
With many doubts, Carlos turned to the Book of Destiny for explanation.
The Book of Destiny quickly flipped the pages, and this time the pages were no longer dead or blank, but detailed text.
It shows that Magnus will go to the moon to stop Kiliman through the already breached net, which was the original plan.
It then revealed that Magnus had changed his mind, and that he had been discussing with the Lord of Change in the Crystal Demon Realm for a long, long time, and finally came up with a new plan.
It is not known what this plan is, but the Book of Destiny describes it as a plan that the Lord of Change has planned for a long time, a higher priority plan, a more urgent plan, a plan to eliminate the real threat...... In short, it's a plan.
"Carlos, you're a sensible and knowledgeable fellow." Magnus suddenly said, "If you were stupid, you would have died." ”
Carlos couldn't agree more: "Correct. Do you know why I'm so wise? Because I know when it's time to stop and not keep raising. ”
"So." Magnus raised his psionic powers, shouting at Carlos in penetrating and thick psionic words, "Take your wisdom and get back quickly!" ”
"I'll be back right away." Carlos opened a portal to the other end of the maelstrom, "I still can't believe you, you. I'll go back when I think it's time, and I don't have time where you're staying anyway, so it's the same when I go back. ”
With that, Carlos shielded Magnus from his psionic powers and stepped through the gate to teleport to somewhere inaccessible in the Maelstrom, where he would stay for a while until he thought he could go back.
Carlos knew that he would not anger his master by doing anything, because of this suspicion, this kind of practice that could go back directly but prefer to make a detour can please his master.
……
The other side.
Huron sat on the throne and quietly observed the ongoing fleet battle.
The Glory of Maculag escaped with Kiliman, and now it is still facing the attack of the enemy fleet, and what is even worse is that the people in the Blackstone Fortress have been broken in an instant and committed suicide in various strange ways.
The situation is very bad.
There were only two options Huron could think of.
First, turn to the dark gods. But it can lead to yourself being one step closer to them, which is not good.
Second, run away. Run away like Carlos.
Huron didn't see Carlos run away with his own eyes, but he couldn't contact the big demon right now, so he was 90% sure that Carlos had run away.
"We're going to lose this fleet battle soon, you have to make a decision quickly!" Huron's lieutenant had seen many of the ships explode with psionic energy, and he was sure that if Huron hesitated any longer, the Red Pirates would be over.
"I don't understand." Huron looked puzzled, "Why did the Tyrone Navy come to the maelstrom to rescue the primordial body?" They did, but they weren't leaving, and the maelstrom wasn't a good place for them. ”
After listening to Huron's words, the deputy thought carefully for a while, and was equally puzzled.
Killiman is gone, and the Tyrone navy in the maelstrom is facing more than just the Red Pirate fleet.
The whispers of the dark gods were encroaching on the will of everyone in the fleet, and the deputy was able to see the situation on the side of the Tyrone Navy with his psionic energy, and he found that there were already people in the enemy who had been mutated by the influence of the maelstrom, and although there were only a few people, the number was gradually increasing.
