Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 339: The Magical Use of Prophecy
……

[We have entered the real universe, respectful and beautiful Majesty Kodiko. 】

【The awakening procedure has been carried out according to your perfect and wise decree issued before the voyage into the warp.】

Kodiko woke up with a start and took a sharp breath.

When the emperor of the Clone Empire felt the burning pain in his lungs, he remembered that he would feel uncomfortable if he breathed hard. He quickly held his breath and concentrated, gradually calming down, slowly inhaling air through the two narrow nostrils on his face.

Kodiko took a breath, then suddenly he couldn't breathe through his nostrils. Realizing that he had rhinitis, he opened his mouth and breathed while asking, "Warp... Warp travel time is twelve years... I... Why do I feel like a century has passed?"

【Not one century, my perfect Majesty, but one hundred centuries.】

"Damn time turbulence... cough cough..." Codico looked around and found that he was still on the emperor's throne, with the life support device connected to the interface behind his head.

The artificial intelligence automatically disconnected the interface from the life-support device. At the moment this operation was executed, Codico was in a trance for a moment, then slowly climbed up from the throne.

"Call the replacement rider, Caudico... ahem... here."

【He is already on his way. 】

Soon, a man who looked exactly like Kodiko came in on a cart, approached the throne, and used gravity technology to lift Emperor Kodiko up and placed him on his legs.

Codico held the head of his own clone and pointed it at the door of the cabin.

Press the button to control the cart to move forward.

[The physiological scan results show that your nerves are experiencing excessive pain. The pain comes from your perfectly structured spine. Do you need an injection of painkillers immediately? ]

"As the saying goes, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight..." Kodiko shook his head, "With such a perfect body, I have to endure the unimaginable pain of those inferior people whose brains are less than a pound in size... I will inject painkillers when I can't bear it anymore."

The vehicle, Codico, carried its emperor out of the cabin and into a magnificent bedroom.

Two imperial guards, the Caudicos, had just awakened from their hibernation chambers and, like their emperor, rode out of a passage connecting the bedrooms in their Caudicos.

"Why aren't you two wearing bio-armor?" Kodeko asked.

"Because... because we want to show you the most perfect body in the known universe... ahem... ahem..." the two Custodians Kodiko answered in unison.

"Hmph, this won't happen again." With a smile on his face, Codico pressed the head of the vehicle and drove towards the path paved with golden carpet in the center of the cabin.

The cart drove for some distance and then stopped in front of a tall mirror.

Codico admired his face, took out the handkerchief he always kept in his pocket and wiped his huge and heavy head, then turned to look at a series of display cabinets next to the mirror.

【Collectibles Awakened】

The display cabinet contains some miniature collections, including a house and a photo.

Kodiko smiled as he looked at the photo of his mother hugging him, and then he admired the house that looked like a model next to the photo - that was his home.

Kodiko looked elsewhere in the display case.

There were several Cowdicos in a palm-sized bottle, but these Cowdicos were not the same. Some of them had blond hair, some had red hair, and some had black hair. Their eye colors were also different, and their clothes were also different. It was impossible to tell which type of Cowdicos they were.

These Caudicos had just woken up and walked to the edge of the bottle. They weakly slapped the bottle with their hands that could only be raised 30 degrees. There was hatred on their faces, and they looked at Emperor Caudico with eyes full of resentment.

"Where are we?"

[Nukeria. The database shows that this place belongs to the Nukeria Entertainment Group.]

Kodiko looked up in confusion: "Why did we end up... ahem... running to the Nukeriya Group's park?"

[I am just a daily helper, and I don’t know the situation outside yet. ]

"Just right, I can take revenge now." Kodiko looked at the Kodikos in the bottle who were not even as big as his fingers and smiled. "The leader of the Nukeriya Group once called me an ugly freak... I want to make him as perfect as me... and then throw him into this bottle to keep them company."

【Oh my god! Your thoughts are as perfect as your appearance! 】

Kodiko patted Kodiko's head and continued to drive in the cabin.

"Prepare for war. When all the Kodiko wake up, we will attack Nuceria." Kodiko said viciously, "Then we will colonize Nuceria and announce the establishment of the empire to the galaxy. After that, the laws of the Federation will not apply to us."

【Perfect strategy! 】

[The awakening procedure has been activated a Codico month ago. The people who have inherited the quality of loyalty from you are awakening according to the preset awakening plan. Please wait for a while before carrying out your grand plan. 】

"How's the rest of the ship?"

[Unable to connect to the core at this time. The navigation log indicates that the core was damaged in the subspace storm. Engineering Codico has been included in the priority awakening queue. Please wait for them to repair the core. ]

Codico frowned his non-existent eyebrows and tilted Codico's head to control the cart to move back the way they came.

"Locate my equipment cache and teleport it outside the royal bedroom. I will personally join the battle next."

[This is dangerous, Your Majesty Kodiko! ]

"Shut up. If I don't personally join the battle, how can I personally humiliate that inferior person from the Nukeriya Group who insulted my body? Not only will I personally join the battle, I will also personally charge in and personally inject the assimilation drug into the bastard who humiliated me."

[This is so brave! Your Majesty, Kodiko! Your bravery puts all the brave warriors in the history of the human race to shame! ]

"Don't kiss my ass."

【What I said is all true, not flattery. 】

"Hehe...it seems that the money I spent on purchasing the customized service from your manufacturer was worth it."

"..."

After walking out of the cabin where the royal bedroom was located and into the corridor, Kodiko saw two people standing in the corridor.

One was taller than Caudricius Custodes in his bio-armor, the other was stocky, though not as tall as Caudricius Custodes in his armor.

Both men were armed and standing on the only path in the corridor, looking at the monster in front of them with unfriendly eyes.

"Which company made your cyborgs?" Codico asked with a puzzled look.

Qin Xia looked at Koz and smiled. Koz also glanced at Qin Xia.

Then the two of them moved forward at the same time.

Koz came in front of Codiko in an instant, and Qin Xia raised his right hand as he moved forward.

Codico sensed something and immediately closed his eyes and raised his deformed right hand, releasing a dark purple shock from his body.

Qin Xia, who was about to crush Codico's head, suddenly found his will wavering, and then he could no longer sense Codico's existence at the psychic level.

"He is a psychic." Qin Xia used psychic power to transmit a message to Koz.

Koz was knocked back two steps by the impact, but in an instant he was in front of Codico and could smash the monster in front of him to pieces with just a wave of his hand. However, at the moment he swung his arm, Codico's body, along with the clone under him, teleported back ten meters.

Codico's head was shining with light, and he looked at the two assassins in front of him with resentment. He instinctively wanted to figure out how they appeared on his ship and which force these two modified humans belonged to.

But now is obviously not the time to think so much.

"Imperial Guards! Imperial Guards!"

Kodiko screamed and slapped the head of the clone under him, making the clone move forward.

But like the stroller that Codico had used as a baby, there was no way for the stroller to move fast; it moved forward at an extremely slow pace.

Koz and Qin Xia were about to catch up when suddenly a heavy sound of footsteps was heard, and then the two imperial guards who had just awakened, Kodiko, appeared in their master's sight. They were wearing biological armor, holding simple weapons such as shields and swords, and ran quickly towards the invaders.

Koz took a look at the biological armor on them and found that although the material of this armor was exactly the same as what he saw in his prophecy, the outline and height were different.

The only thing in common was that the two Caudricol clones were like fetuses, with their deformed bodies curled up in the translucent structure of the bio-armor's abdomen.

Curze immediately rushed towards the Custodians Kodikos.

The two guardsmen Kodiko walked slowly and with a relaxed posture, and there seemed to be nothing special about them.

Just as Koz was thinking about the melee combat capabilities of these two guys, he suddenly saw the prophecy again.

Koz saw that the enemy did not engage in hand-to-hand combat with him at all. Instead, when he approached, he suddenly dropped his shield and sword and took out a weapon similar to a pistol. The pistol released gravity to press him to the ground, making him unable to move at all.

[Non-friendly psychic detected! Activate psychic interference! ]

The AI's warning voice echoed in the passage.

Just as Koz was about to change his fighting style, he felt the same pain and torment as when he saw the dark prophecy. His body began to tremble uncontrollably and he was unable to deal with the enemy in front of him.

When the two imperial guards Kodiko pulled out their gravity weapons and used them, Qin Xia raised his hand and pulled Koz from the gravity that had just been released to his side.

"It seems that the core can not only intercept the perception and influence of psychic energy on the ship itself, but also directly interfere with a psychic during combat. It's really a powerful thing." Qin Xia judged, stroking his chin.

Qin Xia didn't look like he was in a battle at all at this moment, but rather like he was just watching.

Seeing that Qin Xia used his psychic power twice without any consequences, the two imperial guards Kodiko looked at Qin Xia vigilantly, while the face of the body in the belly of the biological armor showed a look of confusion.

"Your Majesty, please leave!"

"Once you leave, we can fight freely!"

The guardsmen Kodiko stood shoulder to shoulder blocking the passage.

Codico himself intended to use psychic power to attack Qin Xia, but suddenly his body began to tremble violently and his breathing became rapid, so he changed his mind and used psychic power to push the cart forward, speeding up and rushing into the cabin.

The two imperial guards, Kodiko, who were confronting Qin Xia, looked back and found that their master had disappeared. They immediately pressed the button on their arms and disappeared on the spot.

Qin Xia watched the three Codikos run away, used his psychic power to help Koz up, and disappeared on the spot just like the enemies he had just faced.

This encounter started and ended strangely.

……

Koz, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes and looked at Qin Xia behind him: "Did you see it too?"

"I see." Qin Xia stood upright and moved his hand away from Koz's head.

Everything you just experienced is not fact, but a prophecy that you can experience personally and will bring about immediate changes.

Qin Xia discovered that Koz's ability to predict was actually to "pick" out the thread of fate that was most likely to become a reality in the future, and then present it to Koz.

Now that the prophecy ended, Koz silently recalled what happened before he saw the prophecy.

He sat down and let Qin Xia put his hand on his head. After the two of them came into contact, he first experienced a wonderful experience.

The soul left the body, floated towards the curtain, and then came to the web of fate.

Then I saw the prophecy.

Koz noticed that the web of fate had changed, and the prophecy he saw was no longer the same as before, which meant that the probability of a thread of fate becoming a reality had increased.

Then, when making the prediction, Koz simultaneously observed the changes in the thread of fate within the prediction and outside the prediction.

Qin Xia was not observing, but directly participating in Koz's predictions, and exerting influence to make the predictions change in real time.

In this way, Curze saw that the prophecies presented to him did not even come from the same thread of fate.

The threads of fate are jumping and shining, and the one with the highest probability will emit light and then leap up from the web of fate... Qin Xia's influence is like a pianist playing, and one of the threads of fate whose probability of realization will change in real time will leap up and become the prophetic picture that Koz sees.

Therefore, psychic power is only reflected in the ability of prophecy, and it will never be possible for Koz to leave his body and come directly outside the curtain to see the web of fate. He saw with his own eyes the fate that he believed could never be changed changing in real time.

When each thread of fate leaped up due to the ever-changing probability and became the prophetic picture seen by Koz, the words Qin Xia said before the prophecy began were not the "unfounded confidence" that Koz believed, but the fact that what he saw was true.

Even Koz realized that Qin Xia and himself had developed another way to use the predictive ability.

That is to observe the web of fate as just now, and see a more detailed and complete prophecy that will change in real time due to the influence Qin Xia exerted in the prophecy.

This means that before Koz takes action, he and Qin Xia can know everything that will happen after he starts to act. No matter what the probability of those things happening is, they will be presented, and then an action plan that will not fail will be formulated based on the detailed predictions seen.
