Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 417 Future and Present

……

"The ants Ouroboros brought in delayed you for three hours and twenty-four minutes."

"I mean solar time."

The wind and snow howled.

Qin Xia used to release various gorgeous psychic spells one after another and use various showy killing methods to wipe out the beasts. Now he just walks slowly, and from time to time releases a psychic shock that can turn everything around into flying snow.

The reason that prompted Qin Xia to change his fighting style was that he found that no matter how he killed those ferocious beasts, the number of them just kept coming.

After slaughtering for a while, Qin Xia became tired, and then began to use this simple, ordinary and effective method to clear out the nearby beasts.

The two methods are almost equally efficient.

Anyway, those livestock can be killed by a single shot or wiped out by a psychic attack.

No difference.

"I wasn't delayed for three hours by them." Qin Xia walked slowly, glancing at the flying snow that the beasts had transformed into in front of him. "I was delayed for three hours by you as a guide and your ridiculous way of finding the way."

Kang looked at the guiding object floating in the air in front of him.

It was a snake-like object that was devouring its own flesh. It was floating in the air, emitting light and guiding the way to where the Ouroboros was.

The object floated slowly, and Kang and Qin Xia had no way to urge such an inanimate object.

The navigation direction of the device is full of twists and turns, and we don’t know where the destination is, let alone teleportation.

"When we were looking for the remains of Sirius, because you have a poor sense of direction, we had to trek all the way from the place where we entered the northern wilderness to the house of the knight's family. Now, in addition to Angron, I have an adopted son."

"I just realized that after being called foster dad for so many years, I still don't even know how to change a diaper."

"Angron can tear people apart right out of the amniotic fluid chamber, and he doesn't need me to feed him or wipe his butt."

Qin Xia spoke as he walked, looking down at the baby wrapped in a cloak on his chest.

But despite what he said, the fact that Kang was a person with a poor sense of direction did bring some positive effects. Otherwise, he would not have met Soval's family, and the baby left behind by the family who must have died because of the Ouroboros would naturally not be able to be adopted by him.

"So, what is it like to be the Primarch's adoptive father?" Kang asked.

"Well, they are naturally tall, but because of their character, I can see their growth, so I feel a sense of accomplishment." Qin Xia said, "But then again, I didn't raise Angron as a son at all. I didn't even know who my parents were... When Angron called me father, I was stunned for a moment."

Another psychic shock spread out.

All the magical beasts within a one-kilometer radius turned into flying snow.

Kang had been observing Qin Xia's performance when using psychic powers, and thought that the Watchers had made the right decision in choosing this human.

If it were an ordinary psychic, no matter how powerful his talent was, he would either collapse or suffer a psychic disaster after releasing psychic power for such a long time, but Qin Xia would not do that.

Since psychic energy is an endless force that comes from the subspace, if one's head doesn't explode from using psychic energy, it would truly be a perpetual motion machine.

"I find that your psychic talent is growing." Kang said, "In terms of destructive power, your psychic power is not the best, but it is stable. Even if you are a hundred times weaker, this stability is enough to allow you to climb to the top of the pyramid among the human species."

Qin Xia did not respond because the instrument that was guiding the two to the location of the Ouroboros began to vibrate.

The object suddenly stopped where it was.

Kang looked at the object floating there, and there was a look of confusion on its non-existent face that only its peers could see.

"I thought we'd have to walk for a few more months...it's so close." Kang pointed to the ground beneath their feet.

Qin Xia lowered his head and used his psychic vision to explore the underground.

In the psychic vision, there is a huge cavity underground, and inside the cavity is a place that looks like the ruins of a city.

But there was no sight of the Ouroboros, nor could one see anything peculiar about the ruins of the city.

However, considering the special nature of the Ouroboros as one of the three sacred artifacts, Qin Xia still believed in the guidance given by the artifacts provided by these robed men, so he immediately opened the portal and entered the underground city ruins.

The Ouroboros object was pulled into the portal by Kang. After leaving the portal, it flickered again and floated in the city to guide the way forward.

"I thought the Ouroboros thing was being guarded by you guys." Qin Xia said.

"Yes and no," Kang said. "The information you revealed in the previous conversation made me think that you knew everything. Ouroboros is not a concrete thing. It does not exist in the form of some demon. It is not in some unknown corner where there is a huge snake devouring its own flesh. You can see it is Ouroboros at a glance."

"In fact, Caliban himself is the Ouroboros."

Kang pointed to the ruins of a ruin.

“This could be part of the Ouroboros.”

"Even a Caliban culture, the environment of the planet, the souls of the planet and its people, everything that makes up what you know about Caliban is an Ouroboros."

"But it is a powerful existence after all. Even if it is everywhere, the most critical part must exist somewhere."

While Kang was talking about what Ouroboros was, Qin Xia recalled the information he knew.

That was the information Abaddon heard from a demon when they were discussing the three artifacts ten thousand years later.

The devil said bluntly that when the Sea of ​​Souls shattered Caliban, Caliban’s culture, statues, people’s souls, and fragments of the world…they were Ouroboros.

But Qin Xia thought that it was caused by the destruction of Caliban, not that the Ouroboros existed everywhere. "Caliban itself is the Ouroboros." Kang turned his head and looked at Qin Xia, "That's why I suggested that you destroy Caliban itself."

"And this is meaningless, so I didn't do it." Qin Xia recalled what would happen in ten thousand years. "No matter how broken Caliban is, it can be reassembled and become a new world called Longlin Star. Then it won't prevent Ouroboros from merging with the other two artifacts to become the Discord Engine."

Kang stopped suddenly.

Qin Xia also stopped and looked back at Kang.

"How do you know what's going to happen so far in the future?"

"I just came back from ten thousand years later, what do you think?"

Qin Xia did not want to hide the fact that she came from ten thousand years later from Kang.

The Dark Watchers' layout to fight against Chaos spans the past and the future. When they were in 30k, they were able to cause trouble with Azrael, the commander of the Dark Angels in 40k. For such a race, the time of the real universe is just an obstacle that can be easily overcome.

"Then you should also know that everyone's web of destiny has countless threads, which means there are countless directions for development." Kang said the same words as the Emperor, "What you know will only become an obstacle for you in most cases."

Kang's words at this time reminded Qin Xia of the emperor.

The Emperor didn't want to know what happened in Qin Xia's cognition more than ten thousand years later, because as the most powerful psychic in human history, he could go directly to the Web of Destiny and watch the future like a movie.

The Emperor not only knows every future of mankind, but he can also see more as a God-like observer.

“Then in a certain thread of fate, if Caliban is shattered, it will completely prevent Caliban from being sewn together again and the Ouroboros from being reshaped?” Qin Xia asked.

"That's not possible. But as a friend, I have to give you some advice on other things... My people once paid a heavy price for being too superstitious about the future." Kang continued to move forward.

Qin Xia looked around at the ruins.

The architectural style of these ruins is extremely different from that of human architecture. From the doors that are opened halfway up the buildings and the fully enclosed and light-blocking walls, it can be seen that the creatures that sculpted them were not humanoids.

The ruins must contain clues to finding the most critical part of Ouroboros, but thanks to the great help of the Dark Watcher, Qin Xia doesn't need to search for clues on his own to find Ouroboros, so he doesn't pay much attention to these ruins.

The Ouroboros artifact guided the passage, leading Qin Xia and Kang directly into the depths of the ruins.

The data displayed in the lower right corner of the helmet's internal field of view shows that the depth is constantly increasing.

After only moving forward for a short while, they had already reached a depth of seventeen kilometers underground in Caliban.

At this point, the Ouroboros minions that had been entrenched in the ruins and were more powerful than those wasteland beasts and zombies finally appeared on the path of the two.

With a sudden earthquake, a worm emerged from the ground.

The worm is much larger than the Nukeria Desert Worm. Its spiral mouthparts have teeth extending into the worm's body in circles, so it can easily eat a Knight Mech.

Qin Xia inserted the spear and the Sirius Sword into the ground and calmly watched the worms coming out of the ground.

The worm stood up and opened its bloody mouth, roaring like thunder.

But the roar that echoed throughout the ruins lasted only less than a second, and the worm's mouth suddenly closed, as if its upper and lower mouths were pinched by invisible giant hands.

"Keep your voice down, you beast." Qin Xia raised his right hand and made a gesture of gently pinching his mouth.

The worm's mouth trembled violently, as if it was trying to break free from the control of the invisible big hand and shout out the roar that had just stopped abruptly.

Qin Xia put his palms together.

With a crisp sound of gauntlets colliding, the giant worm exploded.

It was like a worm placed on a forging table being hit hard by a forging hammer.

It's all bursting.

The fishy liquid splashed towards Qin Xia, and strangely floated in the air, outlining an invisible semi-arc.

Qin Xia relaxed his mind and the liquid fell to the ground, quickly corroding the stone floor and leaving a deep pit.

The same is true for other areas that have come into contact with worm fluids.

"We saved some trouble for a man named Zahariel a dozen years later," Kang said.

Hearing the name Zahariel, Qin Xia immediately became serious.

Zahariel is a Dark Angel think tank. If Lion had not been kicked back to Caliban because of the Dawn Star conflict, and had not been kicked back to Caliban so early, Zahariel would have been kicked back with Luther in the future, and then Zahariel would have discovered all the weird things in the northern wasteland.

The think tank will investigate Ouroboros, and then collect all clues in the ruins, and finally find Ouroboros and be controlled and driven by it.

The giant worm just now is a creature that Zahariel will deal with. It is a minion of the Ouroboros.

"What? That guy named Zahariel would come to Caliban, investigate Ouroboros, and be controlled by Ouroboros?" Qin Xia asked puzzledly.

Kang looked ahead and said meaningfully: "That depends on how you decide and how you handle it."

The Ouroboros artifact floated ahead.

Qin Xia saw a black metal gate over a hundred meters high standing in front of him.

Although he couldn't see what was behind the door, Qin Xia's intuition told him that the most important part of the Ouroboros was behind it.

This Chaos Artifact is indeed everywhere, and it can indeed be said that "Caliban is the Ouroboros", but as Kang said before, it is a powerful existence after all, and some key components will eventually be located somewhere.
