Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Chapter 176 The Secret of World Travel (Part )
Qiao Gaochi, also known as the Laughing God, the Great Harlequin and the First Fool.

He is the Eldar god of deception and art, an ancient god active from unimaginable time ago.

He existed at least before the disappearance of the Old Ones. It was precisely because of his lies and deception that the Star God "Outside" swallowed up many other Star Gods, causing them to fall into madness and eventually stray away from the galaxy.

Then, a star god named "The Deceiver" followed suit and deliberately devoured other weaker star gods to increase his own power, and also persuaded the "Nightbringer" and "Void Dragon" to do the same. ——These star gods devoured their compatriots not because they lost their minds, but because of ambition.

But no matter what, the reason why the Silent King was able to overthrow those terrible star gods after the war in heaven was largely due to the Laughing God Qiao Gaoqi.

Among the Eldar Gods, He was also the only god to survive the "Great Fall" unscathed - among the Eldar Gods, He was the only one who escaped being raped by the "Great Thirsting One" (i.e., the Lustful One). evil) devouring or severely damaging bad luck.

According to legend, the Laughing God escaped because of his cynical nature.

His mocking attitude towards all things kept him away from the collective spiritual corruption of the ancient Eldar empire, and it was the reflection of this depraved frenzy in the warp that ultimately gave birth to the Chaos god Slaanesh.

Legend has it that as the newly born Slaanesh fought against Khaine, the Laughing God escaped into the Webway and hid within its maze of tunnels. Rumor has it that he is still there, isolated from the Warp, taunting the Chaos Gods while plotting painful vengeance.

The Laughing God is the only being who knows every path within the dimensions of the Webway Labyrinth.

This may explain why His disciples (the Eldar Harlequin Troupe) are familiar with the Webway's maps and methods of travel.

Those clowns can use the webway to travel without fear through these subspaces that can easily destroy the sanity of living beings, appearing or disappearing at any point in the material universe without warning.

As the 41st millennium of the human calendar is coming to an end, the number of Eldar in each Eldar faction who have given up their original lives and put on masks to join the Harlequin troupe is gradually increasing. Many people in the Eldar are whispering and speculating. The reason why.

The truth is both inspiring and terrifying.

In the secret Craftworld known as the Black Library, deep in the most secluded areas of the Webway, lies a gleaming silver chamber.

Within it stood a pedestal of finely carved unknown solid material, upon which rested a crystal book. It is said that this book contains crazy prophecies written by the Laughing God himself.

The book's cover has remained closed since the Great Fall, securely sealed with shimmering chains of light.

But now, the long-silent omen has arrived. A fallen wizard searches for knowledge in the Black Library; a dark king writhes on the throne of death and silence, preparing to rise again; and at the center of madness, a champion of destructive power prepares to seize a place forgotten by countless people. A millennium taboo; the signs of the Last Day (the battle of annihilation in which the Eldar are completely swallowed up by Chaos) have been revealed...

The chain of light that sealed the book was broken.

Now, the book is finally open. Within its pages, the Shadow Seer finds a script, a secret finale that forever changes the story of the Fall. The words, written in light and shadow ink, express a sense of forlorn hope, detailing an intricate, galaxy-spanning spectacle that could alter the ultimate tragedy of the Eldar as a race.

“In the wave of life, in the storm of action, rising and falling, coming and going suddenly!
Birth and death, eternal tides. The intertwining of warp and weft, the fiery vitality.

I turn the whirring machinery of time and weave a living garment upon divinity.

However, as an insider, you can never escape the fateful ending.

Only a true outsider can define it;

While enjoying the great drama, this farce comes to an end..."

While humming the prophecy he had made, Joe Gaoch carefully held up Bourne's body that was gradually losing its vitality.

At the same time, several "one-horned" harlequin troupes were not far away, struggling to dance the dance of death among a group of demons with bird heads that suddenly appeared, strangling those thieving Tzeentch spies.

An entire team of "Winter Dawn" Ark Eldar buffoons also entered the warp from the Webway in an instant, immediately devoting all their psychic power, draining their bodies and shattering their souls.

The purpose of their doing this is to use their own sacrifice to temporarily offset the subspace shadow coverage from the Great Devourer's "Hive Mind".

"Is it the self-rescue team of the 'Outsiders', or the remnants of the ancient saint's legacy?"

Qiao Gaochi glanced at the black spots reflected in the subspace, shook his head, and then said to himself with a smile: "These have nothing to do with me.

Tyron is Tyron, wonderful drama, you bugs can't appreciate it. "

Then, he looked around again.

In an instant, wherever the Laughing God looked, there were dances performed by the Harlequin Troupe. These Eldar actors also began to risk their lives in performances, risking their lives to deal with various forces.

"Patience and restraint are the necessary professional ethics for good actors. You guys owe it to a director to practice them."

Of course, while joking, Qiao Gaochi did not forget what he should do.

I don’t know what he did. Bourne’s body and soul completed the transformation instantly, turning into an information state of “neither non-existence nor non-nothing”.

Like a paper framer, Qiao Gaochi carefully "picked up" this piece of information and then put it into a book that he carried with him.

After doing this, He hurriedly opened the last page of the book and beat the drums on it with his white-gloved palms.

"Open the script of the end and use information from outside the world to record the blank space of the last scene."

As He chanted, lines of writing began to emerge little by little on the blank page.

[Outsiders are deceived by deceivers, but how can deceivers not be deceived by their own lies? 】

[Where will there be a new C'TAN born in subspace?]

[The "namer" is just a title given to outsiders and audience members. 】

[An outsider from another universe, he is the origin of the name 'Namer'. 】

As these lines of words appeared, an extremely angry "roar" suddenly burst out from the middle of a star in its prime in the material universe.

Countless flares erupted on this yellow sun, and the space around the star system became chaotic, and the gravitational field pulled the planets into the sun.

Across the galaxy, the tomb worlds ruled by more than a dozen Necron Overlords have suffered major collapses because the C'tan fragments imprisoned in these worlds have rioted.

The aftermath of the "Deceiver's" anger caused tens of thousands of chosen people of all different races to be torn apart on the spot (literally)——

Some planetary governors of the human empire have just received injections of rejuvenation potions, but their secretaries or chief ministers have to rush to start their inheritance plans; some interstellar bosses have just finished negotiating a big deal, but with his Death, his merchant ship immediately changed its owner; several strange cannons suddenly appeared on the two black stone fortresses under the Eye of Terror Abaddon, and then fired dozens of subspace energy shells, randomly destroying countless fallen warships. …

Regarding all the above scenes, Qiao Gaoqi, the man who caused all of this, just smiled knowingly, full of ridicule.

However, He felt that although these were interesting, they were not interesting enough. He has not yet finished writing.

[The broken ancient ones will always grow old and leave, leaving space for those who come after them. 】

The "Outsiders", the star god who has lost all consciousness (and may be partially intelligent) outside the galaxy, and the several Tyranid Hive Minds that are ready to go are all stunned. These feelings towards other races in the universe have never been The beings who were all indifferent actually had an indescribable and ominous premonition at the same time.

[Vendors compete for souls, fighting back and forth, but in fact they are all in the same bowl, neither increasing nor decreasing. 】

[The gods of all walks of life are just the false words of insiders and fools, and cannot be taken seriously at all. 】

After writing these two sentences, Qiao Gaoqi's facial features instantly flowed with golden blood, staining the clown makeup on his face.

However, the Laughing God still maintained his trademark mocking expression on his lips, as if he didn't care at all.

The only bad thing is the actors of His Harlequin Troupe. They have obviously worked very hard, but there are more and more demons around them.

The stench from the Garden of Nurgle has drifted over, and many Harlequin troupe actors have experienced strange changes; shrill screams are heard from all directions, and the Eldar's enemy, the demons of Slaanesh the Great Thirst, appear out of thin air in large numbers; nearby The psychic power in the subspace began to become chaotic. The Tzeentch monsters and fallen wizards who usually wanted to hide as far away from each other as possible (for fear of being plotted by their own kind) actually gathered in large numbers for the first time; accompanied by the sound of brass steam, The surrounding space seemed to start to bleed with blood, and not far away, a huge silhouette of the Khorne Titan covered in skull decorations appeared in shadow...

"It will be over soon, soon, soon." Qiao Gaoqi wiped away the golden blood flowing from the corner of his mouth and murmured to himself, his speech still clear.

[Suffering may not be remembered, but the clown who gave a wonderful performance after the farce deserves a reward! 】

[Ada is all a clown, a joke, and there should be a way to survive under the curtain of the Milky Way. 】

He is compiling an endgame for the Eldar. He does not want his race to be devoured by the great thirster named Slaanesh.

Then, the Laughing God Qiao Gaoqi began to arrange again. He also hoped that the Ada Eldar could live a better life in the future and no longer wander around with the Ark World.

[The territory of the Spirit Tribe...]

But before he finished writing this sentence, a sharp claw grasped his wrist out of thin air, and a figure with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and a body covered with scales and spikes suddenly appeared beside the Laughing God.

Not only was he able to grab Qiao Gaoqi's wrist, he was also able to calmly resist the Eldar Laughing God's gaze that could drive even demons crazy.

Because he is also a god, he is the rebellious chaos, the new god who has not yet become a god, the fifth evil god in the subspace - Mara.

Mara is the embodiment of the concept of "betrayal". She symbolizes betrayal, and she is betrayal itself.

What is extremely ironic is that the evil god Mara, who was regarded as a traitor by all the four gods of chaos and was exiled and hunted for thousands of years, resolutely returned to chaos when Qiao Gaoqi decided the end of the evil god. The "loyal minister and filial son".

He wants to take back the script for Chaos and erase all the contents of Joe Gauci's prophecy and the final drama.

"Betrayal is always extremely sweet. The feeling of destroying the so-called hopes of mortals at the last moment always makes me enjoy it extremely. Now, I want to enjoy destroying the hopes of gods-"

But just when Mara was talking nonsense, a golden light suddenly poured into the depths of the subspace along the webway and suddenly lit up.

When this light hit, the fifth evil god Mara flew out like a mortal hit by a locomotive.

There is no time, no distance, no distance in the subspace - Mara is hit, either by one meter, or by thousands of mountains and rivers...

It was not only Mara who was injured, one of Qiao Gaochi's arms was also pulled away by Mara.

In addition, when this golden light also shone on the script in Qiao Gaoqi's hand, new handwriting began to appear on the last page.

The word "Eldar" was crossed out.

[Humanity will last forever, humanity will flourish forever, mankind will surely regain its past honors, and mankind will also open up a more glorious future...]

"No!"

Seeing this dramatic scene, Qiao Gaoqi's eyes turned red.

"I am the director of this scene. You should not, let alone not..."

With his only remaining hand, he tightly grasped the script. The corners of the Eldar Laughing God's mouth were almost grinning to his eyebrows.

The words that had just been engraved on the "book page" by that golden light were instantly erased again as if they had encountered an eraser or correction tape.

The only remaining complete god of the Eldar race, and the strongest psyker among humans, the human emperor who always restrained his humanity from being completely replaced by divinity, formed a pull on this blank page.

I write words, and you immediately erase them; you engrave messages, and I immediately distort them.

Just like this, under the extreme pull, the cycle repeats, and no one knows how much time has passed.

Until the four evil gods in the subspace, the furry gods worshiped by the orcs, and the Archbishop among the gene stealers controlled by the Hive Mind...these figures who could or could not be named appeared one by one, and they appeared. At the same time, they all joined in this tug-of-war without any explanation.

Seeing that all the writing that had been written before was being washed away, Qiao Gaoqi, the God of Laughter of the Spirit Tribe, could no longer laugh unscrupulously.

"enough!"

He made a crazy move that all the powerful people present did not expect (but it was perfectly in line with his character).

The god used his last strength to tear out the "last page" that had been graffitied by various forces from the script, and then threw it into the deepest part of the webway and into the material universe. and the common origin and end of subspace.

Before the "last page" was torn apart by the original power and completely turned into nothingness, only the golden light from the emperor had time to catch up and add half a sentence to it - [Human beings are never alone].

Immediately afterwards, this "last page" truly disappeared completely, and the very definition of "existed" was conceptually erased.

The many forces involved in the fight seemed to have never been here before, and returned to where they should have been in an instant.

Regarding this day, the only record left in the empire is that the one thousand psykers who need to sacrifice for the emperor every day suddenly increased to 10,000 today, and hundreds of them even have top psychic abilities above the Beta level. Can be gifted. Fortunately, this was just an accident, and everything returned to its normal state after that. The records of this accident were kept top secret by the Inquisition and the Forbidden Forces, and no one in the Warhammer universe had the authority to know.

There is only one exception: Bourne, who no longer exists in the Warhammer universe.

Byrne was involved in this event in a unique way, while at the same time being an outside observer.

The reason why he was able to travel to the world of Harry Potter may be because of the sentence "Man is never alone".
