Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!.

Chapter 738 07.737: "A True and False Formation (asking for a monthly ticket!)"

"Ukani!!!"

Horatio shouted loudly, and Ukani's pale face slowly turned around.

He smiled contemptuously, then turned and walked towards the inner hall.

“No!!” Lati yelled, “Don’t let him in! Stop him! Protect my findings!!”

The fighter servants and the Alphas, the vanguards of the Skitarii, rushed forward, but Ukani simply slammed his staff into the ground.

hum!
A buzzing sound suddenly sounded, and a circular shock wave instantly erupted from his body and spread out all over. The vortex airflow that materialized in the air was like a blade, and any flesh, blood, and steel touched by the airflow was instantly cut off and crushed. The human skin and flesh were cruelly peeled off, leaving only bloody bones and scrap metal mixed together and thrown away.

"Letty! Stop these traitors! I'll stop him!" Horatio shouted to Letty.

"Be careful! Don't let him get the device on the altar! It's important! And dangerous!"

As he spoke, the Mecha Axe in Latti's hand spun at high speed, and the eight-clawed mobile platform rushed forward like a giant beast charging into the crowd, tearing bodies into pieces amid lightning and thunder.

"Since time is of the essence, I only ask one thing: Will that thing kill me instantly if I touch it?" Horatio needed to confirm the most urgent issue at the moment.

"No! That thing is not meant for flesh and blood! It will have other effects on humans, but at least it won't kill you."

"All right." Horatio gritted his teeth and chased after him, followed closely by Sister Arabella, and the rest of the troops immediately joined the battle against the Chaos invaders.

When Horatio rushed into the tomb hall, Ukani had already climbed onto the pyramid-shaped altar in the center. Below the altar, two rows of Thousand Sons Rubric Warriors silently watched the lone intruder.

"The Milky Way is vast and contains infinite mysteries. Those who can see through these mysteries will be the ones who control their destiny in the future." Ukani reached out and picked up a prismatic object on the altar, and spoke leisurely.

Horatio was not unfamiliar with that thing, as its appearance was almost identical to the 'gift' he got from Captain Tiberius of the Carcharodon Warband.

But unlike what he had seen before, this similar 'gift' placed on the altar now emitted a green glow all over.

It was activated, and each component woke up from its previous closed state, and the whole thing opened slightly.

It is supported by a larger triangular base.

Each corner of it had a unique symbol, and from the layout of the entire altar, to the placement of the artifact, Horatio could tell that this thing was important.

Even the entire Carpathian Catacombs may have been built for this purpose.

But what do Tzeentch's apostles want to do with these undead creatures?
This place is close to the outermost part of the 'Exorcist Death Zone', and Horatio can vaguely guess something.

Considering the importance that the Silent King attaches to the Dead Realm, there may be an artifact buried here that is of vital importance to the Necrons.

"Put it down, traitor." Horatio raised his bolter at the traitor's head on the stage: "Otherwise I will let it undergo another brainwash."

"Hehehaha." Facing Horatio's threat, the high-level wizard laughed out loud.

"You poor little creature who has been played by fate. You don't even know what you are going through."

Wukani said mockingly: "You long to know the truth, but the false emperor you believe in hides the truth. You, who are so important, are caught up in the toy of fate, drifting with the tide, wasting the value of your existence."

"Shut up and die!"

boom!
Horatio pulled the trigger without hesitation, and the explosive arrow spiraled out of the barrel and headed straight for the wizard's head.

puff!
The explosive arrow pierced the wizard's forehead, and a blurry mass of bloody tissue exploded from the back of his head. His eyes opened wide and he fell to the ground with a thud.

? !
It all went so smoothly that Horatio couldn't believe it.

A high-level wizard of the Thousand Sons died just like that? ...

"Ha ha ha ha."

But apparently things were not that simple. Amidst the laughter of teasing, the wizard's body stood up in strange postures like a puppet.

The bullet hole on his head, which was still emitting smoke, healed rapidly in a spiral shape.

When Horatio blinked again, he saw that the explosive arrow that had clearly pierced the wizard's forehead was now hovering in the air.

The wizard stretched out his hand towards the incoming explosive arrow, which turned around in the air in a way that defied the laws of physics.

As he extended his finger, pointing it directly at Horatio.

Whoosh!
The explosive bolt with the micro-propellant rocket still burning suddenly flew towards Horatio. When he was pointed at, he felt his eyelids twitching and jumped to the side.

"careful!"

The Sister releases a Shield of Faith.

The explosive arrow seemed to have its own thoughts and consciousness. It drew an arc following his movements and chased after Horatio.

Until the barrier of the Shield of Faith was deployed, the explosive arrow hit the psychic shield composed of the power of faith, causing a ball of sparks to explode. The fragments finally lost their kinetic energy and slowly fell.

"Do you have a lot of questions?" Wukani played with the triangular pyramid-shaped black stone and said with a smile in a soothing chanting tone: "Didn't I explain it clearly to you last time?"

[What?! What last time?]
Horatio was stunned, and his mind quickly recalled what had happened in the past.

My scalp suddenly felt numb.

[Could it be that this last time... refers to... the scene where I questioned the Emperor in person?]
"Which 'last time' are you talking about?" Horatio's face darkened, and he didn't look happy at all towards Ukani.

"Hehehehehe." Ukani just let out bursts of muffled laughter from his chest, avoided answering Horatio's questions, and played with the "Obelisk Gift" that had been activated.

The time of meeting the 'Emperor' matched, and the time of receiving the gift from the obelisk also matched.

Was this all a trick set up by this high-level wizard? Was the 'Emperor' he saw a fake?
Everything was so unbelievable that Horatio couldn't believe it, nor could he completely disbelieve it.

It is said that the God of Strangeness can see the past and the future at the same time.

Could it be that Ukani had set up a confusing scheme for himself in the past, and was then waiting for him in Carpathia in the future?

The more Horatio thought about it, the more horrified he became. He couldn't help but remain skeptical and wary of everything he saw in the world.

In the official history, the awakened Robert Guilliman received nine revelations conveyed by Tzeentch through the Great Daemon, and he had to choose to believe or doubt.

In the end, it was proven that all nine prophecies were true, and the Son of Vengeance ultimately chose to believe them all.

But the last time I saw the 'Emperor', how much truth and falsehood were in what he said?
Horatio didn't know.

After that day, he always kept a watchful eye - logically speaking, before the Great Rift opened, it was not so easy for the Lord of Mankind on the Golden Throne to communicate directly with mortals.

Many things need to be revealed through the Emperor Tarot.

That is the only relatively safe and stable way known to the Lord of Mankind to communicate with mortals.

Judging from the current situation, what he saw was most likely an illusion set up by the hateful blue two-headed bird, or perhaps the hateful two-headed bird used supernatural powers to establish a "meeting" with distorted information, revealing only part of the will of the Lord of Mankind to him.

Considering that I have already been targeted, everything is possible.

Every piece of information obtained needs to be carefully considered, screened step by step, and more clues need to be obtained by exploring this world.

He couldn't bet now whether the information in it was completely true or completely false.

His scalp tingled as he thought about it, and as he looked more carefully, he noticed that the very top of the object that Ukani was playing with, that is, the very top of the 'triangular gift' after it was unfolded, seemed to be able to accommodate a small prismatic crystal.

This container shape looks familiar, where have I seen it before?

hiss.

Horatio's eyes shot open.

He glanced at his iron hand.

[Could it be that... the black stone from Cadia that Iron Hand swallowed can be placed right in the middle of the mysterious device?]
Then, the question arises.

What would happen if the Cadia Black Stone was placed right in the middle? These traitors probably didn't know that they had a piece of Cadia Black Stone in their hands.

Horatio suddenly remembered that he had just acquired the skill of Omen Tarot.

What kind of enlightenment can it bring to oneself?

It has at least one true proposition Tarot card that will not be disturbed by external evil forces. Is it authentic?
With the mentality of giving it a try, Horatio decided to give it a try.
