I'm in Warhammer, I just want to grow mushrooms

Chapter 322 Tzeentch's Hands

What does Dekaramus, the Plague Bearer, the Gardener, and the Great Impure One, fear most?
die?

For the children of a loving father, death is merely another beginning of life, not its end.

Imprisonment?

The confinement is only temporary; growth is eternal. One day, Dekaramus will accumulate enough power within the seal to break free of his shackles.

Truth serum? Viewing soul codes?

Truth serum is a potion, and all potions can be absorbed and transformed into useful substances by the Father's creation. As for viewing the soul code, Dekaramus's soul is filled with the Father's blessings, which are a curse to others.

Netway?

Yes, that's right, it's the internet.

Unlike ordinary demons, the Great Impure Ones do not typically enter the real universe through "projection".

They entered this territory in their physical form.

The same goes for Decalems.

When the net severed its spiritual connection with the Father, this villain, who relied on the power of the evil god to wield his power, suddenly lost all will to resist.

Once you die in the net, it means the true end.

No living being that has tasted immortality desires to become a corpse.

Li Nuo, now in space, stood before the amniotic fluid tank, arms crossed, quietly observing the uneasy skull of the Great Impure One:
"Speak, Decarramus, you have at least three things to say?"

“I didn’t do the plague in Luganat,” Decalems cried out anxiously.

“That’s not it,” Li Nuo replied coldly.

“Uh…” Dekaramus’s eyes darted around. “The prophet of Luganat asked for trouble!”

“Not that sentence either.” Li Nuo stretched out his right hand toward the switch. “If the last sentence doesn’t satisfy me, you can expect to enjoy an electric bath.”

"Wait! Wait!" Decarramus shouted.

"If only the prophet of Luganat hadn't fallen into Tzeentch's trap!"

“Tzeentch’s trap?” Li Nuo pondered for a moment. “Tell me in detail.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Nuo pressed the switch.

"Zizzi-"

An electric current surged, and Dekaramus screamed in pain as his powerful body's self-healing ability simultaneously repaired his injuries.

In the end, Dekaramus suffered an electric shock but was left with no injury, which meant he endured the pain for nothing.

"Sorry, my hand slipped." Li Nuo turned off the switch, and the current disappeared.

Dekaramus wanted to hurl a few angry curses, but he shrank back under the orc's piercing gaze and could only suppress his anger, cautiously saying:

"About a month ago, the Luganat Prophets of the End Times attempted to infiltrate the Father's back garden to save Eldar's Goddess of Life, Elsa..." (Note)
"Stop." Li Nuo held up his index finger. "Hasn't Elsa already escaped?"

DeKalems said:

"He did escape, but not completely. The Father's time-reversal spell tore about a third of his power from Elsa. This part of his power was sealed in the Father's back garden. The Luganat Prophets of the End Times wanted to save this part."

"Oh, I see." Li Nuo imagined the rest of the story:
"In other words, the Luganat Prophets of the End Times, after infiltrating Nurgle's backyard, were captured and corrupted by Nurgle, which led to the false prophecies?"

Dekaramus was unhappy with the orcs' stigma of calling him "father," but dared not say anything, and could only patiently say:
"No, that's not it. The Luganat Prophets of the End Times knew they couldn't save Elsa. They used the Eldar's soul technology to contact the Luganat Prophets of the Rebellion and Apostasy eras, and the three parties together infiltrated the Father's backyard. But what they didn't know was that the High Heaven they entered wasn't the Father's backyard, but a trap space created by Tzeentch. And what they rescued wasn't Elsa's clone, but Tzeentch's clone..."

Having said that, Li Nuo basically understood the cause and effect.

After gaining the trust of the Luganat Prophets, Tzeentch issued false prophecies to them, directly targeting the Palu Orcs.

This move was intended to hinder the Palu Orcs' cleanup of the Webpaths and prevent the human Empire from using the Webpaths to quickly reach Alterama.

But what Li Nuo didn't understand was why this false prophecy could spread to other Ark worlds.

Are the gods of the Spirit Race deaf or blind? They failed to stop the false prophecy.

"Hehe." Decarramus chuckled smugly.

"You know what, Greenskin? The Eldar's prophetic abilities are not immune to interference."

"Their gods within the Ark exercised their prophetic abilities, peering into changes in the warp and the real universe. The Father and the other High Gods could not directly alter the future seen by the Eldar gods. However, when a false prophecy took hold, the future seen by the Eldar gods would tend to conform to the false prophecy."

“After Tzeentch confirmed that the false prophecy had been spread and that no Eldar god had discovered it, he handed over the Luganat Prophets Council to the Father, which led to the scene where the three sub-universes of Luganat were blessed by us.”

Decalems did not explain the principles behind the distorted prophecy in detail, but Lino roughly figured out the key points.

This is similar to the Palu psychic field and a potion containing chaotic corruption.

The Palu Psionic Field is invincible in dealing with chaos, but it is vulnerable to enemies within the body.

If the corrupting elements of chaos enter the body, the Palu Orc will be neutralized from the inside out.

Similarly, if the Eldar gods are predisposed to false prophecies, the future visions they see will tend to be those of false prophecies.

Therefore, prophecies are really unreliable.

"Boss, a pointy-eared girl named Elena wants to see you," the beast's voice crackled through the internal communication channel.

Li Nuo replied:

"Bring her to the interrogation room."

"okay."

A few minutes later, the beast led Elena into the interrogation room.

Dekaramus, inside the amniotic fluid tank, paused for a moment, then asked hesitantly:
"You are... an alter ego of Elsa?"

Elena ignored the great unclean being, now only a head, and turned to Li Nuo, her words tinged with apology:

"Sorry, I was meditating when the battle started and couldn't wake up in time."

Li Nuo raised his hand, stopping the other person from speaking:
"We'll talk about compensation later. I think you should listen to this bastard's nonsense..."

Li Nuo pressed the switch on the holographic device, and a holographic image popped up, playing back the conversation they had just had.

Before coming here, Elena had already learned the truth through other channels. Now, hearing the Great Impure One describe what happened in person, she was still furious and wished she could grind him to dust on the spot.

After the video finished playing, Li Nuo crossed his arms and said:
“I warned you long ago that prophecies are unreliable. If prophecies were useful, would Slaanesh still exist? You bunch of pointy-eared people are really blockheaded. Continuing to blindly follow the guidance of prophecies will only embolden the Chaos Gods. Perhaps a fifth and a sixth Chaos God will be born because of you.”

Despite her extraordinary status, Elena showed no desire to refute the orcs' reprimands.

From the moment she received the outrageous prophecy, she began to doubt its validity; otherwise, she wouldn't have given Li Nuo half an hour to mediate.

But if asked to make a direct commitment to stop blindly following prophecies from now on, unfortunately, she cannot do so.

In Eldar society, the higher one's position and the more power one wields, the more one must constantly mention "obeying prophecies," because prophecies are the primary means by which Eldar gods guide their subordinates. Opposing prophecies is tantamount to denying the authority of Eldar gods.

Li Nuo pressed the button.

The cryogenic device was activated, freezing Dekaramus's head into an ice sculpture and halting his life activities.

"Lend me your three abilities: Brain Stun, Vibration, and Light. I'll return them to you after I destroy the Chaos God. This matter is settled, and you can take Dekaramus's head with you." Elena paused for a few seconds:
"The so-called 'bacterial ability' is actually a kind of psionic energy driven by soul coding. Your Palu orcs' psionic field can provide energy for this kind of psionic energy. I'll give you the soul codes for Brain Freeze, Vibration, and Light spells; you don't need to change them."

"Yeah, deal."

Elena raised her hand and pointed, shooting out a beam of light.

Li Nuo relaxed his mind and welcomed the beam of light into his head.

After a brief moment of disorientation, the system text appeared.

Elena taught you the spell diagrams for Brain Freeze, Vibration, and Light.

[These three spell-casting materials are transformed into universal psionic materials.]

Finally, they were reunited, and the separation felt like a new marriage.

Suppressing his excitement, Li Nuo instructed the young technician to pack up the amniotic fluid container and hand it over to Elena to take away.

Before long, the Eldar ships above Paru's home planet departed, and the planet, which had just been ravaged by war, began to recover rapidly under the boys' hard work.

Li Nuo possesses the sorcerer boy Sak and convenes a meeting to summarize the gains and losses of this battle and formulate corresponding improvement measures.

After arranging everything properly, Li Nuo then tested his ability to return to normal in Palu's back garden.

Needless to say, the brain freeze technique works every time; simply raise your hand and point, and the target is frozen in place.

The depth of the Vibration spell's manipulation makes it an almost universal psionic spell, capable of moving anything from the air to ships.

The Light spell is an absolute killer for dealing with living and non-living beings with optical systems, making it an ideal tool for mass control.

Li Nuo tried it one after another, and was very excited.

In the following days, the cleansing operation against the demons of the apostate era resumed, though with some setbacks.

After the Eldar fleet drove the Paru fleet out of the Webpath, the Omniscient Church's fleet occupied the area and figured out the human Empire's attack route.

When the Paru fleet returned, intelligence such as the attack route had already been sent to Alteramar by the Omniscient Church's fleet.

The Imperium of Man's plan to launch a surprise attack from the Arathor Sector is no longer a secret.

The first direct confrontation between the Empire and the Omniscient Church unfolds within the transit node found by Li Nuo.

The confrontation ended quickly.

When Li Nuo activated the "Shoot Him" ​​function in the Cosmic Hall and accurately sniped the flagship of the Omniscient God Cult, the enemy immediately realized that the Internet Path was not their main battlefield.

Here, in the battle against the human empire, one must face not only the imperial fleet, but also the Paru fleet and the network military facilities left behind by the ancient saints.

Therefore, the Omniscient Church withdrew its fleet from the Netway and instead focused on defending Otrama, intermittently using Pharos to remotely drop small forces to harass the Solar System.

The Paru fleet continued to explore the network of routes, searching for other offensive routes.

Horus intended to broker a reconciliation between the Palu orcs and the Eldar.

To give Horus face, Lino sent Kron to represent him at the meeting.

Determine responsibility, compensate for losses, and make amends for the harm suffered by the Palu Orcs.

After the meeting, the Eldar from the Apostolic Era sub-universe joined in, pioneering the Web Path from another direction.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

The route from the Arathor Sector to Altramar has been opened, bringing the total number of routes available to five.

The human empire has completed its mobilization and assembly, and the forces to punish the Omniscient Cult are ready to set out.

This battle involved 3,200 warships, countless logistical support ships, more than 50 million civilian soldiers, and approximately 500,000 space marines.

The Eldar sent 400 warships to assist, with a total number of warriors not exceeding 12 million.

According to the plan, the Palu Orcs will not participate in the war. Their main duty is to guard the network and prevent reinforcement and supply routes from being cut off by the Omniscient Cult.

In addition, Lino had previously made a promise to Guilliman, promising to save the lives of ordinary people in Alteramar in exchange for the opportunity to take Horus away.

Judging from the Empire's current statements, this promise is unlikely to be fulfilled.

The character "诺" in Li Nuo's name suggests that he values ​​promises.

He felt guilty for not being able to keep his promise and didn't want to face Guilliman.

For this reason, and also due to Horus's planned deployment, the Palu Orcs did not appear on the main battlefield.

Of course, this is not absolute.

In Andréman, the capital of the Otraman district, the spies planted by Lino continued to monitor Pharos.

More than half a month has passed since the beginning, and the Ancient Orc Boy has made about 70% progress in deciphering Pharos.

If we just hold on for another 9 days, we'll be able to get our hands on Pharos's sorcery blueprints.

To prevent all his previous efforts from going to waste, Li Nuo would possess the ancient beastman boy whenever he had free time to personally monitor the scene.

On this day, Macardo arrived in the Apostolic Age through a portal.

He arrived in Altramor aboard the Glory Queen-class battleship and used psionic means to spread his voice to every corner of Altramor.

"Children of Otlamah, listen to these words."

"The God-Emperor is the omniscient, holy, and human lord."

"The Omniscient God is a despicable false god who has stolen the God Emperor's omniscient authority."

"The Omniscient Church is a despicable apostate religion that has deviated from the faith of the Holy Light State Church."

"Those who have strayed from the right path and return to the Golden Throne may have their souls returned to the embrace of the God-Emperor."

"Those who stubbornly resist will be subjected to the fire of world destruction, and their body, mind and soul will be annihilated."

Ok?
what happened?

When did the God Emperor acquire the title of "omniscient"?

Is the struggle over beliefs really this simple and straightforward?
Li Nuo possessed the ancient beastman boy and heard the voice coming from the radio, which he found somewhat unbelievable.

"Sizzle—"

Makado's speech was forcibly cut off.

Loka's voice came through the radio:
"Followers of the Omniscient God, citizens of Ottara, guard your walls of faith and do not heed the slander of the false emperor."

"Open your heart and sing the name of the all-knowing God!"
"Hold fast to your faith, and God will send us to His Kingdom!"

"Om-"

Pharos was suddenly struck by a burst of intense light and vibration, and an electric-like sensation instantly spread throughout his body.

Li Nuo was surprised to find that the ancient orc boy was still invisible, but had lost his ability to move.
