Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!.

Chapter 739 07.738: "The destiny revealed by the omen tarot (asking for monthly votes!)"

Suddenly, time around Horatio seemed to freeze, and his consciousness plunged into a dark vision.

The deep darkness was endless, and the dead silence and solemn atmosphere made people feel breathless.

Two golden words emitting a soft glow slowly appeared side by side before his eyes.

"Divination - Qiming"

Horatio had previously studied in depth the two branches of this skill.

Enlightenment can help you get out of your current predicament, while divination can provide guidance for your actions.

At this moment, he was full of curiosity and wanted to explore whether there was some secret connection between the black stone in his hand, the triangular obelisk in front of him, and the base.

Therefore, his inner choice is clear...

"Divination." He whispered to the golden words in front of him.

In an instant, the golden words dissipated like a dream bubble, turning into dozens of tiny golden dust particles that fluttered down in front of him.

These dust particles turned into pieces of paper the moment they hit the ground.

In the blink of an eye, 78 tarot cards were neatly arranged in front of Horatio.

On the back of each tarot card, the colors are like a surging whirlpool, constantly surging and changing, and the shapes are also constantly changing, mysterious and unpredictable.

On the back of each Tarot card, there is a prism engraved with a large question mark in the prism, which is extremely eye-catching, as if telling Horatio the unpredictable uncertainty behind each Tarot card.

[Is this really not a trick of Tzeentch...]
Ukani's previous words echoed in Horatio's ears, making him dare not easily believe everything he saw before his eyes, and it was difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

But now that things have come to this, I don’t care about what you do!
He looked firmly at the card in the middle. The card that his eyes were fixed on slowly floated up from the deck of 78 cards, and then slowly floated in front of him, quietly waiting for the moment to be revealed.

Then, he selected two more cards in the same way, until the system prompted that the number of choices had been reset to zero.

"Let me see what the hell you're doing," Horatio muttered to himself, choosing to turn over the first card.

As the vortex slowly turns, the cards gradually emerge.

Looking at the figure on the card, Horatio's breathing suddenly stopped.

The card shows a very tall and burly man.

In his left hand, he held an extremely sharp power claw that flashed with cold light, as if it could tear everything apart easily; in his right hand, he was equipped with a gorgeous Hellstorm Bolter that exuded a terrifying aura.

However, what is more eye-catching is the sky-high braid on his head, which is very eye-catching.

Above the card, a line of small golden words quietly emerged: A figure in ancient armor, surrounded by a billion screaming souls, those souls tightly wrapped around him like mist. To his right, Holy Terra turned black and shattered. The blood of the demigod slowly dripped from his claws.

[God, look who I drew on my first card???]

Horatio felt suffocated and looked carefully. Written in High Gothic was the word "The Despoiler".

But this card is inverted.

Now the question is, the cards have been drawn, but who will interpret them for him?
Horatio looked around him, out into the dark horizon, but there was no sign that anyone would interpret the card for him.

Suddenly, a figure flashed through Horatio's mind, a psychic.

She had received professional divination training from an Inquisitor.

"Mellon! Mellon! Can you hear me?" Horatio shouted loudly around the dark vision.

After the last psychic communication, he formed a spiritual bond with Melon.

In essence, this is a bit like giving each other a psychic phone, leaving each other a phone number so that they can contact each other at any time.

However, Horatio himself does not possess psychic powers, and only Melon can actively contact him.

But if he wanted to contact Melon, he could only rely on the reserve psychic energy in Iron Hand, or use the high psychic energy in the environment.

Fortunately, he currently has both of these conditions.

"Mellon! Can you hear me?" Horatio called again.

"Um, Captain. Are you calling me?" After calling several times, the girl's slightly confused voice, as if she had not woken up yet, came from the surroundings.

"I need your ability to help analyze some things." Horatio said anxiously.

"What is it?" Melon asked. "The Emperor Tarot reading," Horatio answered briefly.

Upon hearing the words "tarot card interpretation", Melon's voice instantly became clearer, and he said with doubt and anxiety: "Captain, you have not received professional training, and the tarot cards in your hands can't play any divination role. If you need it, I can help you..."

"Mellon, my current situation does not require divination, but interpretation. The situation is very urgent." Horatio interrupted Mellon with an urgent tone.

Hearing Horatio's anxious voice, Mellon, who was far away on the warship and didn't know the specific situation, stopped trying to dissuade him.

"I understand, Captain, please tell me about the deck you drew." Melon said.

"I... drew the 'Predator' card first," said Horatio.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Mei Lun exclaim.

"Uh... is it bad?" Horatio couldn't help but feel flustered by Melon's reaction. Even though he knew nothing about the meaning of Tarot cards in the Warhammer universe, he could guess based on his intuition that drawing out a guy with a sky-high braid was definitely not a good thing.

"What form does it take?" Melon asked.

"Form? Do you mean what the picture looks like?" Horatio asked back.

"I'm asking, is it right side up or upside down?" Mellon explained.

"Inverted," Horatio replied.

In an instant, he heard Meilun heaving a sigh of relief.

"You're lucky, Captain, this is an inverted 'Predator'," said Melon.

"What does the inverted 'predator' mean?" Horatio then asked.

“The positive connotation of the card ‘The Plunderer’ is negative.

The 'Plunderer' card, symbolizing the disaster of life, is the truest foreshadowing of the impending loss of the human empire and the inevitable bloodshed.

If the player draws this card, it not only means bad luck will come, but also a bloody disaster or even the great misfortune of being destroyed." Melon explained in detail.

Just by listening to Mellon's description, Horatio deeply felt the ominous meaning of this card.

"But if it's inverted, the meaning is completely different. The inverted 'Great Plunderer' means that someone is bound to stand up and oppose the plans and conspiracies of the 'Great Plunderer'." Melon continued.

"...I see." Horatio nodded thoughtfully.

After hearing Melon's interpretation, Horatio turned his attention to the second card.

The Chaos card slowly changed, and an eye appeared.

Then, lines of small golden characters appeared from above:
'A wound in reality, an open scar in the universe, a bruised purple and blood red eye of chaos staring out at the galaxy.

Stars died around the eyes: some faded into icy blackness, others exploded in white-hot torment.

The eyes stared dully, with little emotion except distant hatred. But the nebula flared, tendrils spreading across space.'

His eyes slowly opened and stared directly at Horatio.

A chill instantly swept through his whole body, making him shiver uncontrollably.

A line of words slowly appeared from the flag.

The Great Eye

But Horatio knew in his heart that this was not the "Great Eye" at all, it was clearly the terrifying Eye of Fear!
Moreover, this card is upright, not reversed.

This made his heart sink again.

He swallowed and asked Melon, "The second card is... 'The Great Eye', but no matter how I look at it, it looks like the Eye of Terror. It is upright, so what does it mean?"

Melon pondered for a moment and said seriously: "Drawing this card indicates that the war against Chaos is coming. It means that this thing can fight against the evil Chaos and is crucial. Captain, what are you divining?"

"Uh-huh, the effect of a divine device. Okay, the third card, the last one." Horatio pointed to the last card with nervousness about the unknown.

The cards changed slightly, and a figure that Horatio was very familiar with appeared again.

A skeleton sitting on a golden throne.

And…it’s upside down.
