Forced to die just after becoming invincible in Warhammer?

Deep in his heart, he longed for Guilliman to let go of the constraints of reason and join him in devoutly believing in the God-Emperor.

At this moment, beside Luojia's stove, the blazing flames were roasting the iron sheets.

As the temperature rose, the iron sheet gradually turned red, and the words "ambitious" seemed to be faintly imprinted on it.

Luo Jia looked at this scene with mixed feelings.

In fact, he was not willing to promote his faith in such an extreme way from the bottom of his heart, but in his cognition, clear rewards and punishments were necessary means to maintain the order of faith.

Only in this way can the flame of faith burn more vigorously in the hearts of the people, allowing the Word Bearers Legion and even the entire empire to bathe in the glory of the God-Emperor's faith.

However, Lorgar and Guilliman were both Primarchs, each possessing extraordinary strength, wisdom, and leadership, making it difficult for either to defeat the other easily in a confrontation.

Chapter 297: Scholar? Magnus's New Doctrine?

Zhuang Sen and Leman Ross, who were lurking on the edge of the hazy star field, received the news at the same time. The news came from Hui Le, informing them that the matter had been settled.

However, the scene before them left them speechless.

In front of them, there were a large number of Ultramarines and Word Bearers densely packed together.

Zhuang Sen's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, but he didn't know where to begin, so he could only remain silent.

Leman Russ did the same. He opened his mouth, but ultimately fell into silence helplessly.

They were filled with confusion and wondered to themselves: What on earth is going on?

Was it Guilliman's ambitious style of doing things that "infected" everyone, or was it that the beliefs preached by Lorgar spread like a virus?

Otherwise, how to explain the sudden increase in the number of Astartes belonging to these two legions?

You know, such a large-scale military assembly must indicate that a major event is about to break out, and they are now caught up in this unknown storm.

But Hui Le told me that the problem has been solved?

……

In Prospero, Magnus stood quietly, his expression solemn, his eyes fixed on the books in front of him.

One of them is a book written by Hui Le about the introductory knowledge of psychic powers.

The pages of the book are slightly yellowed, as if they have been read repeatedly. They are densely packed with records of various basic principles of psychic powers, cultivation methods, and practical cases.

Hui Le uses a unique perspective to explain the mystery of psychic power in a simple and easy-to-understand way, as if trying to open a mysterious door for people exploring the field of psychic power.

The other was a book on numerology written by Mortarion. This book had a completely different style, using rigorous logic and precise calculations to reveal the order and laws hidden behind numbers.

In the book, Mortarion uses a large number of complex formulas and charts to explore the role of numbers in the operation of all things in the universe. From the trajectory of stars to the movement of microscopic particles, it seems that clues to the explanation can be found in numerology.

Magnus fell into deep thought. The fields of knowledge represented by these two books seemed unrelated, but both contained profound wisdom.

Deep down, Magnus actually admired Mortarion's wisdom.

Mortarion has profound attainments in the field of numerology, and his writings demonstrate rigorous thinking and profound insights that are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

However, despite his approval in his heart, he would never express this admiration to Mortarion in reality.

The reason is that Mortarion firmly rejects psychic powers, even to the point of disgust.

And psychic power is precisely the power that Magnus cherishes most and relies on for survival. It is the core of his life and faith.

This huge difference in concepts has caused the two to always be at odds with each other and their relationship has been quite tense.

But today, Magnus, who was immersed in these two books, seemed to have realized something different.

He vaguely sensed that perhaps there was some undiscovered connection between psionic power and numerology.

This discovery made him very excited, and all kinds of new ideas flashed in his mind like sparks.

He began to wonder whether he could use the precise logic and order of numerology to open up a new path for the application and research of psychic energy; or, perhaps, find clues to decipher the deeper mysteries of numerology from the mysterious power of psychic energy.

Magnus's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he put the idea that flashed through his mind into action.

I saw him stretch out his hand and pick up a piece of chalk. The chalk was spinning nimbly between his slender fingertips, as if it were given life.

At the same time, all the knowledge about Mortarion's numerology emerged in his mind like a tide.

He silently pondered the combinations and patterns of numbers in his mind, and with an almost mysterious power, he threw the chalk in his hand towards the building in front of him.

The chalk ball drew a beautiful arc in the air, hitting specific parts of the building one after another precisely according to the number of 913 times he had conceived.

Every collision is accompanied by a slight sound, as if numbers and psychic energy are communicating with the real world.

The chalk continued to bounce off the building 913 times. As the number of collisions increased, the chalk gradually wore away, eventually turning into powder that drifted into the air.

The building, which had endured such precise blows, finally collapsed under the weight after a series of collisions.

Accompanied by a dull roar, the building began to shake violently, and then collapsed with a loud bang. Bricks and rubble poured down like a waterfall, raising a cloud of dust.

The dust slowly settled, and Magnus stared at the ruins, his thoughts running like a torrent.

Although this attempt to combine psychic power and numerology was only a small beginning, it was like a ray of light that illuminated a corner of the unknown area in his mind.

He realized that if he could delve deeper into and master the connection between psionics and numerology, he might be able to bring about a revolutionary breakthrough in his own psionic skills.

It's not just about causing physical destruction like what just happened, it's more likely to make progress in more advanced psychic fields such as predicting the future and manipulating time and space.

Magnus turned back to his room, quickly spread out the parchment, picked up the quill, and eagerly recorded the experimental process and sudden inspiration in detail. As he wrote, he repeatedly deduced in his mind, thinking about how to further improve this theory.

He thought that more complex digital models could be used to precisely guide the release of psychic energy to achieve more subtle and powerful effects.

For example, the Fibonacci sequence can be used to construct a psychic shield that can automatically adjust its defense according to the intensity and frequency of attacks.

Alternatively, the unique properties of prime numbers can be used to optimize psychic energy transmission, reduce energy loss, and thus project psychic energy over greater distances.

However, Magnus also knew that this road of exploration would be full of thorns.

On the one hand, Mortarion's aversion to psionics made it difficult for him to obtain help directly from the source of numerology.

On the other hand, many people in the empire are already wary of psychic power. If he makes this research direction public, it is likely to cause a lot of unnecessary trouble and resistance.

For Magnus, exploring new dimensions of knowledge and cleverly combining knowledge from different fields are not insurmountable challenges.

After all, as a Primarch, his brain, which could be described as a supercomputer, possessed extraordinary computing and comprehension capabilities, capable of analyzing various complex knowledge systems and finding potential connections among them.

However, the biggest problem facing him was Mortarion.

When he thought of Mortarion, the corners of Magnus' mouth unconsciously turned down slightly.

He secretly complained in his heart that the "old farmer" from Barbaros was simply an old stubborn old fogey.

Mortarion's aversion to psychic powers is deep-rooted and has reached the point of paranoia.

Mortarion's extreme attitude towards psychic power is completely short-sighted and prejudiced.

But it is undeniable that Mortarion has extremely high attainments in the field of numerology. If Magnus wants to make greater breakthroughs in the research on the integration of psionics and numerology, he will have to face Mortarion, one of his most hated opponents.

Immediately, the innate arrogance in Magnus' heart was instantly ignited.

"Magnus, what are you imagining?" he scolded himself inwardly. "Without that old peasant, Barbarus, the study of psychic numerology would be impossible? Absurd! Mortarion has only made a beginning in the field of numerology. Your goal of combining numerology with psionics is only a small step in your great quest for knowledge."

As a Primarch, his pride would never allow him to bow to another Primarch.

Despite the potential benefits of recognizing Mortarion's achievements in numerology and seeking collaboration, Magnus's pride prevented him from doing so.

The Primarchs were accustomed to relying on their own outstanding abilities to conquer the unknown and create their own glory.

They only show their unique achievements to their brothers and sisters to win everyone's admiration and praise, rather than relying on the help of others to achieve their goals.

So, Magnus secretly made up his mind that even if the road ahead was full of thorns, he would rely on his own wisdom and strength to cut through the thorns in this unknown field where psionics and numerology merged, and open up a glorious path of his own, so that all the Primarchs would be amazed by his great achievements in knowledge exploration.

Magnus ordered the bells to be rung, and the melodious sound echoed over Prospero, like a call from the Father of Genes.

When all the Thousand Sons warriors heard the bell, they immediately understood that it was their Gene-Father calling them.

They put down the weapons they were using in the arena, put on the robes that symbolized their scholarly status, moved quickly and in an orderly manner, and then quickly gathered towards the assembly point.

Soon, Magnus looked at his heirs lined up neatly in front of him and saw that almost everyone was there.

His eyes revealed excitement and anticipation, and he said loudly: "I have discovered a new theory, and I need you to join me in the research." After that, Magnus showed the prototype of digital psionics to his descendants.

Amon, Ahriman, and even Khayon, all felt doubtful when they saw this so-called new doctrine.

In their view, isn't this just a simple combination of numerology and psychic powers?

Looking at Magnus in front of them, an absurd thought came to their minds: Could it be that their genetic father has become a combination of Magnus and Mortarion?

Otherwise, how could Magnus, who had always scoffed at Mortarion's ideas, use the numerology that Mortarion studied?

The Thousand Sons looked at each other with confusion in their eyes, but out of loyalty to the Gene-Father, they waited quietly for Magnus' further explanation.

Magnus keenly sensed the confusion and doubt in the eyes of the Thousand Sons. He raised his chin slightly and spoke solemnly, "I know you have many questions in your minds about why I would introduce Mortarion's numerology into our research."

He paused, his eyes scanning the faces of each Thousand Son, trying to make them understand his grand vision.

"Although Mortarion holds a prejudice against psionics, it's undeniable that he possesses unique insights into numerology. Numbers are more than simple symbols and calculations; they embody the order and laws of the universe. Psionics, on the other hand, is the mysterious power controlled by the Thousand Sons. While the two may seem unrelated, they actually share a hidden bond."

As Magnus spoke, he waved the staff in his hand, outlining complex numbers and psychic runes in the air. The runes flashed with strange light, intertwining and colliding with each other.

"The Thousand Sons have always been committed to exploring the mysteries of psychic energy (although they have recently been engaged in physical training). If we can integrate numerology into this, using the precision of numbers to guide the release, control, and enhancement of psychic energy, our use of psychic energy will reach unprecedented heights. This will not only be a breakthrough in psychic research, but also a great leap forward for us, the Thousand Sons, in our pursuit of knowledge."

Magnus' voice was full of passion, as if he was describing a magnificent picture.

Amon was the first to break the silence. He stepped forward and said respectfully, "Father, your idea is indeed great, but everyone knows that Mortarion hates psionics. If we borrow his numerology, will it cause a lot of trouble?"

The other Thousand Sons nodded, agreeing with Amon's concerns.

Magnus' expression froze, and he spoke firmly, "This is the challenge we must face in our pursuit of knowledge. We need not fear Mortarion's opinions, nor seek his approval. We, in Prospero, have our own independent research system and direction. As long as we dedicate ourselves to our studies, we will surely achieve extraordinary achievements in digital psionics, making the entire Empire take notice."

After hearing Magnus' words, the doubts in the hearts of the Thousand Sons gradually dissipated, replaced by anticipation and enthusiasm for this new doctrine.

Magnus felt very pleased as he watched the enthusiasm of the Thousand Sons gradually being ignited.

He waved his hand and continued, "From today on, we will devote ourselves to the study of digital psionics. Amon, you will lead a group of people to conduct in-depth research on the regular calculations in numerology and explore how to combine it with the basic principles of psionics."

Amon knelt on one knee and responded solemnly: "I will obey your will, father."

"Ahriman, you will be responsible for selecting warriors who are good at psychic control, trying to guide the release of psychic energy through different digital models, and recording the data and results of each experiment." Magnus turned his gaze to Ahriman.

Ahriman bowed and said firmly, "I will live up to your trust, father."

"Kayon, you need to sort out our existing psychic knowledge system, find the key nodes that may resonate with numerology, and verify them with the research results of Amon and Ahriman." Magnus arranged the tasks in an orderly manner.

Khayon nodded, "Understood, Father."

With the tasks assigned, the Thousand Sons took swift action.

Prospero's various research sites suddenly became busy, with scholars moving around, and the sounds of discussion and recording intertwined.

In the laboratory, all kinds of strange psychic lights flashed, and digital runes appeared and disappeared in the air.

Chapter 298 Thousand Sons Psionic Digital Shield (5K)

In the days that followed, the Thousand Sons devoted themselves to research. Amon's team delved into numerology day and night, seeking inspiration from ancient texts and attempting to construct a computational model compatible with psychic energy.

Ahriman led the psychic manipulators to conduct repeated experiments in a specially designed venue, and each burst of psychic energy was accompanied by precise numerical calculations.

Khayang was like a bridge, constantly integrating and analyzing the research results of both sides, looking for commonalities.

However, the research was not all smooth sailing.

During an experiment, a small psychic backlash was triggered due to the mismatch between the digital model and psychic energy.

Several Thousand Sons warriors were injured and the research facility suffered some damage.

But this did not dampen the confidence of the Thousand Sons. Magnus personally came to the scene and encouraged everyone:

"Setbacks are inevitable on the road to success. This failure has made us more aware of the problem. As long as we don't give up, we will eventually overcome these difficulties."

Encouraged by Magnus, the Thousand Sons regrouped and devoted themselves to research with even greater enthusiasm and rigor.

They firmly believe that under the leadership of the Father of Genes, digital psionics will surely shine brightly.

As their research deepened, the Thousand Sons gradually figured out some tricks amidst the chaos.

Amon's team successfully constructed a preliminary digital framework that can make relatively accurate predictions about psychic energy fluctuations.

The Thousand Sons scholar excitedly showed this discovery to Magnus. Amon's eyes sparkled with excitement as he said, "Father, we've discovered that by arranging specific numerical sequences, we can sense the intensity and direction of psychic energy release in advance. This may help Ahriman and others guide psychic energy more accurately."

Magnus carefully reviewed their research report, a gratified smile on his face: "Well done, Amon. This is a major breakthrough." He immediately conveyed this result to Ahriman.

Ahriman's team optimized the psychic manipulation experiment based on the digital framework provided by Amon.

By using digital models to adjust the output frequency of psychic energy, the directional concentration of psychic energy was successfully achieved, which significantly enhanced the power of psychic energy.

Ahriman hurried over with the experimental records to report to Magnus: "Father, according to Amon's digital framework, we can not only control psionic energy more accurately, but also enhance the effectiveness of psionic attacks without increasing consumption."

Magnus looked at the data in the experimental record and nodded with satisfaction. "Very good, this is exactly what we expected. Continue to study it in depth and explore more possibilities. I will also speculate on any possibilities."
