Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

Chapter 388 Conspiracy
"You came?"

"I knew you'd come..."

In the abyss thousands of meters below the Hall of Fear, in the golden and red psychic seal, a giant alien with a height of more than ten meters raised his head and screamed.

Its huge body is entirely composed of lava-like crimson and basalt-like black, with ferocious and chaotic long horns winding and interlacing, stretching outward from all the joints, head and neck of its whole body.

On the golden seal, the psionic energy belonging to the emperor and the sealer firmly restrained its actions;

And under the pressure of this huge force, the demon's body also changed between the ferocious giant and the red magic sword.

Calvin had just entered the Hall of Fear at this time.

He passed the main hall, the apse, and the meditation room where he was tested when he was tested.

During this process, he suppressed his psionic energy and covered up his soul essence.

But the demon still seems to have received some kind of reminder, and got some kind of danger omen from his own fate.

Its crazy and hoarse whisper kept ringing in Calvin's mind, from the first step he took into this hall, there was not even a second of pause.

"But you are doomed to failure! Because I am a stubborn disease rooted in your race!"

Calvin silently pushed open the hidden door in the corner of the meditation room, and a corridor extending underground unfolded before his eyes.

He listened to the cries of the demon, which became more and more frantic because of the fear of the unknown.

But his own soul and psychic energy were restrained like never before, for fear that before reaching the devil, the latter would notice his strangeness.

"Arrogant mortal! The Lord of Humanity can't hurt me either!"

"I am the root of your race! I will live and die with you!"

Calvin continued to walk in silence, and the spiritual energy around him was becoming more and more active.

The boundary between subspace and reality almost no longer exists here, but from the perspective of the entire space, it exists independently, and it is difficult to communicate with the outside world.

Calvin somewhat understood the nature of the seal:
An independent and enclosed space.

A fragile, but impenetrable cage.

A "artifact" that violates the rules of reality.

A "subspace bubble" that exists in reality and is fixed by heavy bans.

Calvin was still walking down, and his burly body seemed extremely small against the huge building.

On the obsidian stone wall around him and the steps of the same material at the foot, the smooth and flat mirror surface is being replaced by the ice accumulated by the psionic energy raging all the year round.

On the lamp post that was cut out on the rock wall, the light of the flame became increasingly dimmer, until the darkness at the end of the field of vision was invisible.

Maybe the real abyss is like this?A thought flashed through Calvin's mind at a certain moment.

And the existence that is far underground, yet ubiquitous in this space, also discovered and began to use this piece of distracting thoughts, trying to pollute and defeat the arrogant mortal in front of him.

At the moment when the emotion, which was as small as ashes, was perceived by the demon, it proliferated and expanded visible to the naked eye in Calvin's spiritual world.

In the end, it turned into a huge and pitch-black shadow like a mountain, leaning towards Calvin's soul laughing wildly!

And then... no more.

After waving his hands to crush and absorb this foreign distraction, Calvin's brows twitched slightly, and a question that he had never thought about appeared in his mind:

Will the gods be afraid?

In other words, does the soul that has reached the divine level still have the function of generating fear?
It is true that fear comes from the unknown.

But if this "unknown" is explored, is it the "unknown" of external things, or the "unknown" of one's own destiny?

I'm afraid it's the latter...

After all, from the perspective of idealism, if the external things do not intersect with the self, then it can be considered that it does not exist;
On closer inspection, the "unknownness" of one's own destiny due to the influence of external things is the origin of this fear.

And the most basic condition for the birth of a god, or a divine soul, happens to be the certainty of destiny.

Because the gathering of countless souls on the timeline comes from the integration and unity of the concept level of the great unity.

Because of the unity of ideas, there are no distracting thoughts, so that you can clearly know the meaning and mission of your existence!

Because of being clear about your own meaning and mission, you can move forward with no distracting thoughts, and have a will that is as firm as gold and stone!

How can such a soul have fear?It is nothing more than success or failure, life and death.

If I don't die, I shall continue to fight for the vision I hold;
If I die in battle, I can look forward to a single spark, which will surely start a prairie fire in the future!
This is divinity!This is also a god!The so-called gods, the gods are clear, nothing more than the case.

But this is not something only gods can do.

If ordinary people can have a great awareness, can agree with a concept and abandon all self, willing to contribute to it.

Then this mortal's soul can also, after accumulating enough power, at a certain moment bloom with a light comparable to that of a god.

This is probably the reason for the existence of those emperor champions, purifiers, and living saints in the history of the empire.

Calvin's footsteps sped up slightly. After thinking about these things, the golden divine soul in his spiritual world became somewhat clearer.

At the same time, on the orbits of many planets in the solar system, the positions of Saturn and Terra are just separated by the sun!

In the theological sense, this happens to be the time when Terra, one of the representatives of human "concepts", is the furthest away from here!
This is when this demon rooted in the human race is at its strongest.

Because the distance of "human beings" symbolizes the disappearance, and this "disappearance" means that the demon rooted in the human race has come to the end of its cycle of growth!

But this is also the most vulnerable moment of this demon!
Because if this demon can be defeated head-on at this point in time, then the inexhaustible power of recovery from the human race that it relies on will also happen at this time, which symbolizes that it has "broken out of its shell" The point is cut off!

"I am the dark side of your civilization, I am...yourselves!"

The devil's whispers were still ringing in Calvin's ears, and became more rampant as this special time arrived.

And Calvin, who walked to the end of the steps and could already see the sealed demon, opened his mouth when he felt the Emperor billions of kilometers away, punctually exercising divine power over the entire solar system. With a mouthful of silver teeth, he smiled and walked towards the giant.

The spiritual fluctuations in his body that had been dormant for a long time were completely released in just a few seconds, and his aura also increased steadily, becoming stronger than the demon in front of him.

The two existences are obviously small and big, and their bodies are very different.

But with Calvin's terrifying aura and the demon's astonishment after feeling the former's divine soul, Calvin, who strode towards the demon, looked even more "evil"...

"Stop your steps! Mortals! No!
stop your steps!whatever you are! "

The scarlet giant roared loudly, but its retreating posture betrayed its panic.

Although the existence in front of him is wearing a human body, its essence does not belong to any derivative of human blood!

He even has a divine soul!

That means, he may still have the "authority" to truly touch its essence and kill it completely!
"You will pay for it! The blood god will hang your head on a throne of brass! Your soul will be tortured for eternity!"

The giant was still threatening, but Calvin had lost patience.

He narrowed his eyes, raised the long sword forged by himself in his hand, and said to this demon, which symbolized the first ray of malice in the birth of human beings:

"Hey, don't bark, let me see you on your way."

　The second watch, although a few minutes late, but I kept my word, at least I made up the update.That's it, good night.
