Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!.

Chapter 740 07.739: "Exorcising the Dead Zone (asking for a monthly ticket!)"

The cards changed quietly, and a figure that Horatio was very familiar with reappeared.

It was a withered skeleton sitting on a golden throne.

And...it's reversed.

A line of small golden characters slowly appeared above the card:
"A shrunken skeleton, yellowed by the erosion of time, blackened by the coming of death.

Imprisoned within a massive throne of gold, steel, and brass, the corpse's mouth opened in a silent scream that echoed across the invisible planes of the universe.

Before this howling corpse, a group of angels knelt on their knees, shedding violet tears. "

This scene is extremely horrifying, yet contains a strong sense of sadness.

Horatio felt a soreness in his eyes, and tears slowly welled up in his eye sockets.

"Hmm...Excellent, He on the Golden Throne."

Faced with this tragic scene, he even found it difficult to judge whether its meaning was good or bad.

More importantly, the picture is upside down.

The name of this card slowly emerged on the banner: "God Emperor"

"The inverted God-Emperor..." Melun's tone became sad, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if he was racking his brains to organize his words.

"It's okay, just say whatever you want to say, Melon. I need your interpretation."

"The inverted 'God-Emperor' means that it foretells the malignant touch of the Warp that will infect the servants of the Imperium. A hopeless war is coming. A death threat from the far reaches of space.

Captain, this artifact will cause you a lot of trouble. It is the nemesis of the Empyrean, and the Empyrean will use its power to drive once loyal people to oppose your decisions.

If you cannot deal with this situation properly, the Empire will be trapped in an eternal war with no chance of winning. It may even turn into..."

Melon's voice became increasingly quiet. "It may even evolve into a second 'Great Rebellion', but I'm not sure. After all, this is just an interpretation of 'a hopeless war. Death from distant space.'"

"...The Second Great Rebellion..." Horatio was silent, muttering to himself.

It seems that the amount of information contained in the first divination is really huge, it even predicted "death from distant space".

What’s going on? Did he know that I’m a time traveler?

How did I come into this world?

Moreover, what could have possibly triggered the "Second Great Rebellion"?

At this moment, he really couldn't imagine it.

Suddenly, the deck in front of Horatio began to regroup and the number "2" appeared on the draw indicator.

"Melon, in the divination process of the Divine Emperor Tarot, do I need to draw two more cards after drawing these three cards?"

"Yes, there are two 'Change Cards'. Their function is to deepen the interpretation and make the results more accurate."

Horatio carefully selected two cards from the deck and dragged them under the three main cards.

“The first one.”

Horatio tapped on the card and it turned over.

What came into view was a pair of pure white wings. A naked man with wings was flying hard towards the red sun.

The Steadfast Angel.

"The card 'Steady Angel' indicates that if you can overcome the obstacles indicated by the inverted 'God Emperor', you will eventually reap the ultimate rewards of this artifact."

"The ultimate result..." Horatio muttered to himself.

Then he raised his head, reached out to touch the second card, and felt a cool touch on his fingertips.

The card shows a half-built metal planet, glowing alone in the dark and boundless universe.

The upper left corner of the planet is broken into a crescent shape, and there are several terrifying cracks in the middle. If a planet really has such huge cracks, it must be on the verge of collapse.

"The Falling Star?" The young star speaker Melon was slightly surprised. "What is a falling star?"

"Well, in the main card, it means that things need to be advanced step by step. Don't rush for success, otherwise all the previous efforts will be wasted. But in the variation card, its interpretation is much richer."

"for example?"

“It may refer to a specific object, perhaps a certain vital planet or an important creation. You must arrive there to find the correct answer.”

"If it is some kind of creation, do I need to go there too?" Horatio keenly noticed the key point in the wording.

"All meteorites refer to extremely large things. Therefore, this creation... may also be as big as an asteroid."

"This sounds just like our Gothic Fleet's Abyssal Port. I've never seen a second artificial planet like this in the galaxy."

"Maybe some of the answers are hidden there." Mei Lun said with a sudden inspiration.

"You are right, Melon. To this day, the underground of Abyss Port is still shrouded in plague and virus. We are still unable to explore what is hidden deeper in the earth's core. Let's stop here for the interpretation. Do you have anything else to add?"

"Be careful, Captain." Melon's tone suddenly became serious.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Horatio noticed the change keenly.

"I feel... danger... Ugh! What is this..."

Before Melon could finish his words, Horatio's sense of time suddenly returned to normal.

He instantly exited the dark vision, or more precisely, was forcibly pulled out.

I saw that Ukani had regained his ability to move. He grabbed the obelisk with his big hand and pressed it into the base.

hum-

A long humming sound turned into a visible filter oscillation, echoing throughout the tomb.

A feeling of weakness and tiredness immediately lingered in Horatio's body and mind, making him feel extremely sleepy.

[This is...what's going on.]
He suppressed the discomfort and turned around, but was surprised to find that the Krieg soldiers present all seemed to have their souls taken away. They lowered their heads, remained silent, and did not move.

"Soldiers! Soldiers!"

No matter how loudly Horatio shouted, they did not respond, as if they were isolated in a different parallel world and could not hear his voice at all.

Horatio then looked at Arabella beside him.

“Ugh!” She was kneeling on one knee, covering her head with her hands, her face twisted in pain: “I can’t hear you.”

"Arabella! What's wrong with you! Can't you hear anything?!" Horatio immediately reached out to support her, but she was unable to stand up. She could only kneel on one knee, covering her head tightly. It was obvious that she had lost the ability to communicate and think normally.

"What did you do?!" Horatio's eyes widened and he looked at Ukani angrily.

However, all he saw were the Thousand Sons Red Letter Warriors and Ukani himself, standing there motionless as if they were frozen.

"This...what on earth is going on..."

Horatio was stunned and looked around. It seemed that he was the only one who could move freely at this moment and here.

Others either hung their heads or held their heads in pain, completely unable to move.

This phenomenon seemed familiar to Horatio.

He seemed to have seen a similar scene in a CG work called "Exorcist".

"Could it be... that this bastard activated the exorcism death zone in this tomb?" Horatio couldn't help but guess secretly.

If that's the case, that would be terrible.

What is the current situation of the ground forces? Will the Necrons in other blocks wake up? Why can I still move?
"You idiot."

He raised his head without hesitation, and cursed at Ukani through gritted teeth: "Your reckless behavior has also trapped yourself. You also put so many high hats on yourself, such as "powerful wizard of the Thousand Sons Legion, explorer of eternal truth, and think tank of the Thousand Sons", but the facts prove that you are a complete idiot."

Horatio walked slowly towards the altar with heavy steps.
