Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 456 Insight
"Thank you."

Erebus took off his helmet and held it in his hands, bowing as slightly as possible under the restraints of the Terminator Armor.

"Thank you for saving our most venerable guide and the most loyal priest of the God-Emperor."

All the Word Bearers took off their helmets and bowed to Qin Xia after Erebus bowed to express his gratitude.

Qin Xia could see that Kor Phaeron was a good man in the eyes of these Word Bearers, so Erebus' words about him being highly respected were naturally sincere.

"We fight side by side." Qin Xia said softly.

The Terminators and Erebus once again picked up their helmets and put them on their heads.

"But I'm a little confused." Qin Xia looked at Kor Phaeron, "What on earth are you doing here?"

Kor Phaeron was stunned by the question.

"You seemed like a commander, participating in this decapitation operation, and then you were beaten to your knees at the very beginning, and almost couldn't save your own life. I feel like you are more like a spectator." Qin Xia said.

Kor Phaeron looked ashamed, lowered his head, and said sincerely, "I'm sorry."

The Word Bearers all knew that the Lord of the White Knights was not very friendly, and since Kor Phaeron was saved by him after all, they all remained silent and did not respond.

Even if Qin Xia said that this chief company commander was useless.

"Look at the two beams of light on my beautiful helmet." Qin Xia took off the helmet and played with it in his hand. "This helmet was made by the Lord of Steel. I asked him what the two beams of red light were for, and he said that the purpose of this thing is to exist."

Qin Xia held the helmet and continued, "Kor Phaeron, you are like the two beams of light on this helmet."

"The two beams of light on the helmet at least have the effect of creating a sense of oppression, and I am even more useless in this war compared to them," Kor Phaeron said, "but I must be there, I must be there in the battle just now, because I am the chief captain of the Word Bearers, I am Lorgar Aurelion's adoptive father, and I am also a loyal believer of the God-Emperor. Anyone can choose not to participate in a dangerous battle, but I must participate."

"Even if I just kneel there and wait to die."

"Even if I was pierced through the head by the fangs just now, I will die as a loyal servant of the Emperor. My deeds will be praised and my actions will be remembered. I will become a banner of faith."

"But God Emperor blessed me, and his miracle happened to me, allowing my power armor to restart quickly. His divine power drove my body to make the most appropriate action, which was to move my head away..."

Kor Phaeron bowed slightly to the pharmacist, then stood up from the ground.

"I'm sorry, I didn't play any role in the battle just now, but I must state one fact, that is, even if I die, I must die in the battle just now, instead of just standing in the distance and watching these guys sacrifice themselves for the God-Emperor, and finally saying to their corpses after the battle: May your soul return to the throne."

When the Word Bearers heard Kor Phaeron's words, they all saluted him, and some were so moved that they sobbed.

With just a few words, Korphan twisted Qin Xia's accusation into an opportunity to show off his personal charm.

If for Qin Xia, talking nonsense is a way to express emotions and have fun, then for Korphan, talking nonsense is his livelihood and his unique skill.

As religious believers on Colchis, their advantage of being more eloquent than 99% of the people is just a basic skill that allows them to pass the threshold of the seminary.

"If you are really a loyal servant of the Emperor, you should have hugged the greenskin that rushed towards you just now, and died with it." Qin Xia shrugged, "Instead of flickering your eyes between the greenskin and me several times in one second. If your eyes could speak, then Qin Xia's words "Save me" would resound throughout all the war zones in the four quadrants."

Kor Phaeron nodded and admitted, "After all, I am still a mortal without divinity. I also have the bad habits that mortals have. For example, the biological instinct of fearing death... But I will try my best to restrain it."

"You have a good eloquence." Qin Xia raised his hand and pressed the button to open the cabin door.

The gunboat has entered the hangar bay of the Resolute.

The war was entering its final stages, and the cleanup of the planet would be the responsibility of the Word Bearers, so Angron, who had nothing else to do, left the command deck and went to the hangar, waiting for his adoptive father to return.

The Terminators went to maintain the armor.

Qin Xia and Angron walked out of the hangar and took the elevator to the command deck.

“Is there anything unusual happening in Kor Phaeron?” Angron asked as the elevator doors closed.

"No." Qin Xia said truthfully, "To be honest, when he wanted to drag me down to fight, I thought he wanted to trick me, but he didn't."

“He was just afraid that he would die down there because of his lack of strength.” Angron said what he sensed at that time.

"What else did you sense? Nothing about chaos?" Qin Xia looked at his adopted son.

Angron shook his head and shrugged. “That’s normal.”

"Being very normal is the biggest abnormality." Qin Xia recalled Kor Phaeron's deeds. "Do you remember what I said? The native beliefs of Colchis are actually the disguises of Chaos Gods. Kor Phaeron has been exposed to the real Chaos beliefs at a very early time. How can he be normal?"

“If you ask me, Erebus is more suspicious than Kor Phaeron, but he is a very sunny person,” Angron said.

Qin Xia frowned and thought.

Something is wrong.

Compared to the original timeline, Angron is normal now, and the World Eater is also normal, but that is the result of his own changes.

Even if other people and things change, they are changed in the same way.

There is no way Erebus and Kor Phaeron can be normal, unless the original timeline is different from the timeline they know. Is this universe a parallel universe?
Qin Xia recalled the greater things he knew.

It's not that there is only one universe, one reality, or multiverse. These conceptual things do exist. The only ones that can truly be called "only" are the Warp and the Chaos Gods.

But this universe is definitely not one of several parallel universes. This is not the first time Qin Xia has such doubts, so he tried to confirm it by looking for and comparing the pasts of those famous people.

If this universe is a parallel universe, then some notable people would have different pasts, such as Ahriman would have been a remnant of the Achaemenid nobility instead of being a member of the Fifteenth Legion.

Except for Erebus and Kor Phaeron, the past trajectories of any important characters, whether they have appeared or not, are different from what Qin Xia knows, not even the slightest bit different.

"Perhaps it's just that the past of these two people was changed." Qin Xia thought of another possibility, "The gods know that you have the ability to see through things, so they tried to change the past and let Erebus or Kor Phaeron hide temporarily."

Hearing this, Angron thought it was possible.

For creatures in the Warp, time is not the past that has already happened, the present that is happening, and the future that has not happened. In the Warp where time does not exist, time is just something that can be manipulated by demons and gods.

"We have to find a way to verify it." Qin Xia said.

“How do I verify it?” Angron asked, then immediately thought of a solution. “I see… It seems I need to embrace my essence once again.”

……

subspace.

Qin Xia and Angron sat opposite each other in the Primarch's office, their souls entering the absurd world of the Warp.

Accompanying them is the Watcher Kang.

Qin Xia, Angron, and the little man in robes first stopped at Salum.

Just like the last time Qin Xia asked Salum for help, the Great Demon of Khorne was forging weapons in the pure white area.

"Is this the demon?" Angron looked at Salum's back and asked in surprise. Although he knew that his adoptive father had a demon, he was still surprised when he actually saw the demon.

Working with the devil is a bit...

"Demons are slaves to concepts. If a demon is created because of the concept of eating shit, then it will feel that eating shit is its lifelong wish, and the motivation for everything it does is to eat shit," Kang said. "Using this concept to influence the demon, you can control it, whether by force or euphemism."

“Your style is a little different from others of your kind, right?” Angron looked at Kang helplessly.

The little man in the robe was silent.

Salum stood up from the forge and came to Qin Xia: "What's the matter?"

"Forge me a tool that can allow my abilities to resonate with his essence and be used to observe destiny." Qin Xia said.

Salum was very well behaved this time and immediately began to forge tools according to Qin Xia's wishes.

While forging, Salum talked about things in the real universe: "You want to observe the past of those two guys from the Word Bearers Legion, the real past, right? I remind you, you have to question everything you see, because it may be the known past produced under the control of the gods."

"For example, two of my kind were once driven by the Blood God to a certain time point, and then influenced the War Dogs, allowing them to taste the pleasure of slaughter in the war."

Angron was surprised by Sarum's familiarity with the real universe, and was also curious about the past of this dog of war.

"Are you saying that my children committed their past crimes under the influence of Khorne?" asked the Primarch.

"That's not what I meant." Salum said bluntly, "If your offspring are really good people, they won't be affected... As far as I know, my two kind didn't do anything at that specific time point. They just watched the dogs of war slaughter the Cerberus area."

Angron thought that was the case.

"What would you have done if the Dogs of War had refused to change?" Kang suddenly asked.

“They… were all reformed after they reached adulthood, and they understand a lot of principles, so that they can at least understand some things.” Angron said lightly, “So if they resist the changes I bring, then I will kill them all.”

"Then you might indirectly complete a sacrifice." Kang took the opportunity to teach him some knowledge of the Warp. "The Blood God's mark will be branded on the Legion the moment you complete the massacre. So sometimes, taking decisive action is not a good thing."

Salum finished building the observer.

It was something that could not be described in terms of shape, a pure creation of the warp.

Kang carefully checked it, then nodded and indicated that Qin Xia and Angron could use it.

"It is useless by itself." Salum handed over the viewer, "But when you embrace your essence, it will lift the fog of the gods and allow you to see the most essential things."

Angron took the viewer and looked at his adoptive father.

Qin Xia nodded silently.

Kang said, "Go and uncover the truth of the past."
