Chapter 314: Sword of Sarum

Chapter 314: Sword of Sarum

……

ten minutes later.

Qin Xia returned from Sarum.

The vortex bomb followed him back to the White Knight.

At the same time, the members of the Red Robe Order on Salum were learning about the recent changes on the planet while preparing for the ceremony to sacrifice Salum or packing up to leave... What the members of the Red Robe Order would do at this time depended on the position they chose in the changes caused by Qin Xia in the world forged in Salum.

Qin Xia no longer needed to go to Salum in person to do anything. He only needed to wait for those who were willing to leave Salum to come to the White Knight, and for Salum to go to the residence arranged for it in the subspace.

At the same time, Qin Xia could sit cross-legged on the ground and meditate, and while meditating, think about what had happened so far.

"The future you're talking about is just one of countless futures."

"You come from the future, but none of us can guarantee that the future you experience is the only real future."

"..."

Qin Xia recalled what the Emperor had said to himself and Angron during a remote psychic conversation after Kelbor Har, the Martian Forging General, came to Nu Star.

Qin Xia's views on what the emperor said can be divided into two stages.

In the first stage, one was truly convinced by the Emperor and began to doubt whether the future one experienced was really just one of countless future developments.

Therefore, it is meaningless to do anything in advance, and it cannot change the future. If you really take action to stop something with the idea of ​​stopping it, it will only cause everything to develop at an accelerated pace, and even lead to uncontrollable terrible consequences.

Then the second stage was that Qin Xia was half-believing and half-doubting.

Now I am half-believing and half-doubting.

Qin Xia believed that the Emperor's ability to predict was limited, and since he had not yet sat on the Golden Throne nor had he been indoctrinated with human faith for ten thousand years, the credibility of what the Emperor said was not omniscient and omnipotent.

The Emperor's prophetic ability... feels... not as good as Sanguinius and Curze.

But Qin Xia is not sure how the future will develop, but he believes that one thing will not change at present, that is, Horus will rebel.

How did Horus rebel?
A good man who gives people a sunny and trustworthy feeling, a Primarch who believes that the Emperor is the true savior of mankind, suddenly becomes evil... and then stands on the battlefield where the Space Marine Legion is fighting, clenching his power claws, glaring, and wrinkling his nose: "Then let the galaxy burn again!"

of course not.

There are many reasons for Horus' rebellion, but Qin Xia believes that the most important one is the influence of the Four Gods. In the later stages of the rebellion, Horus was not even conscious, and was continuously charged by the power of the Four Gods until he was able to rival the Emperor.

It's like a puff made by the four gods themselves.

Everything has a beginning. Qin Xia thought that he could kill Horus when everything became irreversible.

Ten thousand years later, the Inquisition came to a conclusion: the dark gods cannot directly affect anything in the real universe. If they want to exert influence on the real universe, they must rely on things in the real universe, such as an evil creation or a mortal who intends to surrender to them.

Therefore, Qin Xia wanted to create a weapon that could destroy the Primarch's physical body and destroy Horus' physical body before Horus completely became a pawn of the gods in the real universe. Salum, as a demon whose original concept was related to weapons, could provide great help.

But the premise is that Horus is completely beyond salvation and nothing can bring him back.

"..."

Qin Xia thought a lot, but these thoughts made him unable to calm down, so he simply opened his eyes and thought attentively.

As a demon, whether the weapons manufactured by Salum are tainted by other substances still depends on surveillance, as well as the understanding and research of the power of the warp. A complete, complex and tedious plan is needed to verify the safety of the weapons and ensure that Horus will not become the Chosen One of Khorne.

So in the final analysis, this is just a backup plan that was thought up on a whim.

It is only used as a last resort when all other options have failed, and even then it can only be implemented after the safety of the option has been thoroughly ensured.

But this backup plan is like all the plans and contingency plans made by generals in a war. It will most likely be abandoned for various reasons, but plans can be abandoned but cannot be avoided.

"grown ups."

The call from the communicator brought Qin Xia out of his thoughts.

Qin Xia recognized that it was the captain's voice.

"The Red Order said that those who are willing to leave Sarum are already on the ship, and the rest are unwilling to do so."

"What are your next orders?"

Listening to the captain's report, Qin Xia stood up and looked at the porthole.

The last Red Order transport plane loaded with supplies flew into the apron in the middle section of the left side of the ship.

Qin Xia was just about to give the order to leave when he saw that the Salum Forge World suddenly changed.

The entire planet seemed to have been hit by a star-shattering weapon. It disintegrated in an instant, and all the matter that made up the planet with the demon at its core turned into dust floating in the strange void near the vortex. The dust was like a star ring, rotating around the center of the earth where Salum had once been.

Salum had disappeared.

Qin Xia used his psychic vision to see the Great Demon enter the subspace and hide in a realm that he had naturally formed after signing the contract with Salum.

That realm was the size of a planet, and its interior space was like the submarine he had taken when he dived deep into the warp. It was a realm that belonged to him and was shaped by his will.

Sarum will no longer be enslaved as long as it does not leave that realm.

At the same time, Qin Xia also saw a sword floating in the center of the forging world that had been destroyed and turned into a star ring.

Qin Xia saw a series of images while using psychic vision...that was the history of the sword.

The perspective moves away from the vicinity of the Great Vortex, focuses on the solar system, focuses on Terra, and then focuses on a land plate on Terra.

In a cave, a thin primitive man was cleaning animal skins.

Not far from the primitive man, two of his kind were lying on the fur to rest.

After cleaning the animal fur, the primitive man stood up and picked up a stone to kill the next prey that was caught. However, the stone used to kill the previous prey became slippery due to blood, so the stone fell from his hand and hit the prey's wound.

The prey howled.

A primitive man who was resting stood up, looked at the female fellow with a big belly beside him, then turned around and looked fiercely at another fellow whose face turned pale because of the howling of his prey, stood up and approached quickly.

The primitive man who was cleaning the animals was beaten and ran away in fear. He beat his fellow man until his nose bled and then stopped with satisfaction. He returned to lie down beside the female fellow man, but kept staring at the man who was beaten.

The primitive man wiped the blood from his nose and wanted to resist, but when he thought about it, he didn't have the ability to hunt alone, so he had to give up and returned to the prey to continue cleaning the fur.

He used a sharp stone to clean the fur, but the stone became slippery due to the blood and he kept slipping out of his hand. When he was about to throw the stone away in anger, he suddenly had an idea and his eyes lit up.

The primitive man wiped the sharp stone, used it to cut branches, cleaned the branches and fur together, and placed the branches and stones on the ground. After being in a daze for a moment, he scratched his head and suddenly remembered something. He took a tendon of a wild animal and used the tendon to tie the stone and branch together.

An extremely crude stone weapon was born.

Holding the weapon, the thin primitive man looked at his strong fellow, who was also dissatisfied with his look and stood up and approached him.

The two sides engaged in battle, and the skinny primitive man stabbed the neck of his strong counterpart with his weapon. Then the weapon fell apart, the wooden stick broke, the animal tendons stretched, and the stones fell.

The first mortal weapon was thus damaged, but the primitive man had already learned the idea of ​​making weapons, and the first victim who died from the first weapon appeared. At this time, Sarum was born in the warp.

The first weapon made by the mortal turned into scattered parts, but this weapon had already produced a projection in the subspace. The projection that accompanied Salum gradually became alienated. Every time the mortal came up with a flash of inspiration to come up with a new killing weapon, the projection of the weapon was gradually strengthened, and finally became the sword that Qin Xia saw now.

Psionic vision dissipates.

Qin Xia raised his hand.

The sword surrounded by star rings drifted towards the White Knight like a ghost, penetrated the hull of the White Knight, and fell into Qin Xia's hands.

The lava flowing on the blade forms a picture of the sword's birth and also forms the name of the demon Salum.

Qin Xia, who was holding the sword, could even see Salum's miniaturized head through the sword - a mask spewing flames.

Qin Xia could imagine what would happen if an ordinary person got this sword.

Becoming a puppet of Salum, driven by the original weapon, the most primitive tiny resistance, and the fighting spirit and murderous intent that the Khorne demon could not abandon, he became a slave of an ancient demon.

Qin Xia, who held the Sword of Salum in his own hands, felt nothing.

"The equipment that Laosa dropped is pretty good looking... but unfortunately I don't need cold weapons."

Qin Xia casually opened a crack and wanted to throw the Sword of Salum into the place where he usually stored the God Titan.

But when the Sword of Salum was about to be thrown in, the sword body suddenly vibrated. When Qin Xia took the sword and got closer to observe, flames spewed out of the sword body, and the flames formed a pattern.

Qin Xia was surprised to find that the pattern showed a huge ship. The pattern did not directly indicate how big the ship was, but the planet below it could be used as a reference for scale.

The ship is roughly the same size as a landmass of the planet below...assuming the reference planet hasn't mutated and shrunk due to being near a giant vortex.

"Destroy the Brotherhood's industrial ships?" Qin Xia watched the flames burning on the Sword of Salum change again, becoming a flaming star map, directly pointing out the location of the White Knight and the industrial ships.

Although Qin Xia could find out where the industrial ship was by asking the people of the Red Robe Order, the Sword of Salum directly showed him the location of the industrial ship, which gave him an unexpected gain and he learned something amazing.

The sword seemed to point out the location of any existing weapon or something used to make a weapon.

"I will help you in every way I can." Salum's voice came from the sword, "This will buy me a long period of peaceful life without being disturbed by you."

Qin Xia looked at the flaming star map released by the Sword of Salum, thought carefully and replied: "A short vacation."
