Forced to die just after becoming invincible in Warhammer?

…(9) Wife’s Art 3: The Tumor of Yueyi…

As the undercurrents of the Warp and the flames of war in the Empire intertwined, Magnus, the once lost and troubled Primarch, miraculously returned to the embrace of the Empire.

The news was like a ray of dawn that broke through the chaotic night sky and spread throughout the stars in an instant.

And at the edge of a distant galaxy, the loyal descendants of the Thousand Sons Legion, upon hearing that the Primarch had returned, their eyes, originally tired and confused due to genetic disease, suddenly ignited with a fiery light, like stars in the dark night being lit again.

Regardless of the dangers and length of interstellar travel, they resolutely adjusted the course of the fleet and rushed at full speed towards the coordinates where Magnus was located.

What is amazing is that during this reunion, the Thousand Sons Legion seemed to be protected by a mysterious force, and the almost unsolvable genetic disease that had been raging for many years began to heal itself.

The deformed limbs of the sick soldiers gradually returned to normal, and the disordered psychic energy fluctuations also tended to stabilize. The laughter and joy that had been suppressed by the pain in the past once again echoed between the battleship cabins.

This sudden miracle of healing left everyone who knew the inside story stunned, as if they had witnessed the arrival of God's grace.

Although Magnus had returned to the Imperium, he was not so arrogant as to claim all the credit for the Thousand Sons Legion's cure of the genetic disease. He knew that the reasons behind this were mysterious and could not be achieved by ordinary people.

The fog of the warp was thick, always shrouding the truth and making it difficult for him to see through it.

Doubts arose in his mind, and he secretly wondered who was the mastermind behind this.

Is he the mysterious man who once held nine mysterious rings and controlled the power to overturn the world?

Or is he a conspirator who covets his crown, the symbol of supreme authority, secretly plotting in the dark, trying to achieve his selfish desires at the expense of the suffering of the Thousand Sons?

Or is it some other evil existence lurking in the depths of darkness, whose true face has not yet been revealed?

All kinds of speculations lingered in his mind like ghosts, and could not be shaken off.

But even though he was caught in a vortex of suspicion, Magnus did not stop.

The Primarch decided to lead the Thousand Sons Legion and move closer to his brothers and sisters, for the glory of the Emperor, for the expectations of the Regent, and more importantly, to bring the fire of knowledge to those enslaved and ignorant planets, to dispel the haze of chaos, and to light the dawn of civilization.

He wants to prove with his actions that even if the road ahead is full of thorns and suspicion is always around, he can still open up a path of redemption for the empire and let every planet return to peace and tranquility.

Chapter 156 Garden, Welcome

"Oh, after so many days of hard work, it's finally done!"

As Leila spoke, she stretched out her giant yet slender body comfortably, revealing her graceful curves inadvertently.

Before this, she had just finished mailing the Eldar alien anatomical drawings, and without even having time to catch her breath, she plunged into the laboratory again.

At this moment, she appeared again with joy, and her face was filled with excitement, as if she was hiding some great secret.

"So what outstanding research results have you come up with this time?" Hui Le held the coffee cup and took a sip. He seemed nonchalant, but his eyes were always firmly glued to the tablet in front of him that was filled with countless data, and he couldn't move away at all.

After all, many affairs of the legion are in her hands and she cannot relax for a moment. She can only take advantage of this break to ask casually while handling her work.

Huile glanced at Leila and said half-jokingly:

"I hope you can come up with something truly impressive this time. If not, you better be careful. I've been working tirelessly for ten days straight to handle the legion's internal affairs, and I'm just starving for venting my frustrations. Then I'll use you as my punching bag."

"Hmph!" Leila raised her head and said proudly, "Is this the heart of the imitation original? But it seems to be a lot weaker than the previous one." Huile frowned slightly, his eyes full of confusion, and his gaze was fixed on the heart in the glass container.

In the glass placed in front of her, there was a heart. The heart was lifelike, with every texture and detail clearly visible, as if endless mysteries could be glimpsed from every angle.

"Is this the heart of the Simulacrum? But it seems to be much weaker than before."

Huile frowned slightly, his eyes full of confusion, his gaze fixed on the heart in the glass container.

She was no stranger to the imitation original heart. When Leila used the first generation product to create offspring, something went wrong, which caused a serious incident and almost caused a big mess, causing a lot of trouble for Lareo. Leila was scolded by Lareo for this, and she still remembered the scene vividly.

"Hehe, this is my improved, castrated version of the original heart."

Lyra's face was filled with pride, her chin slightly raised. "Its abilities are quite impressive. It can make a Space Marine's body more coordinated and slow down the aging of its functions. Most importantly, the cost is incredibly low!"

When it comes to cost, Leila, a great geneticist, knows the key.

She was familiar with the structure of the Emperor's Golden Guards, the Regent's attendants, and these elite troops around him, and she had the ability to manufacture them in the same way, but the high cost forced the plan to be shelved.

In this vast galaxy, aliens are rampant. If it weren't for cost constraints, there would be no need to work hard to train Astartes. We could just send those well-equipped guards and attendants to the battlefield to clear out the aliens.

"Well, you are really good this time, really."

Huile raised his eyes, glanced at Leila quickly, and gave this slightly perfunctory compliment, his hands still not stopping the action of processing the complicated information on the data board.

She frowned slightly and continued in a firm tone, "But I refuse to allow my descendants to have another heart implanted, even if it's an improved version like yours.

"Why?" Leila was full of doubts and looked at Huile with wide eyes, not understanding why she was so determined to oppose it. In Leila's opinion, this improved imitation original heart obviously had many advantages.

Hui Le slowly put down the data tablet in his hand, his expression became extremely solemn, and he said seriously:

"Because my instincts have been quietly reminding me that once my descendants have three hearts, it will trigger some mysterious and dangerous rituals. At that time, I am afraid that it will lead to extremely dire consequences."

"However, I can allow you to try implanting this heart into Mod, who made a mistake before and only has one heart."

Huile didn't want to reject Leila's kindness and friendship after all, so after a little thought, he said,

"But after the other offspring have the heart you created implanted, they must remove their original heart and maintain two hearts."

"Oh, okay! But I think three is a good number. After all, there are only three of us!"

Leila was still full of doubts and couldn't help mumbling questions.

However, Hui Le did not respond to her, but turned around and left quickly, not even bothering to take the data tablet aside.

Her steps were a little hurried, and the strange and terrifying scene just now kept echoing in her mind.

Because of the ability derived from the original body, she is particularly sensitive to certain specific numbers.

Just now, when she mentioned the number "three", she seemed to be instantly pulled by a mysterious force, and her consciousness drifted into an extremely strange scene.

She saw a place filled with germs and crawling with pus, full of flowers that exuded a corrupt and poisonous smell, and there were sticky and strange plants growing there. The whole garden was filled with a disgusting and creepy atmosphere.

And in the depths of the garden, there was a vague figure, like a master who controlled stagnation, looking at her with a seemingly loving but indescribably strange look, even calling her daughter affectionately, and warmly inviting her to walk into the garden full of horror.

At this moment, the Primarch's instinct suddenly took effect, like a heavy hammer, forcibly pulling her consciousness back into her body.

Hui Le finally came to his senses and felt a hot and wet sensation on his forehead. He reached out to touch it and found it was soaked with sweat. His hair was sticking to his forehead and his body was sweating profusely, as if he had just woken up from a terrible nightmare.

This Primarch, who had always been proud and conceited, and who believed that the entire galaxy was his hunting ground and that he was the greatest hunter in the galaxy, now felt a fear he had never felt before.

For the first time, she truly realized that in this vast galaxy, there existed beings as powerful and mysterious as her parents.

And just by using his abilities to explore the mystery behind the number "three", he encountered such a terrifying experience.

Huile looked down at the dense layer of sweat beads on her fingernails, and realized that the clothes on her body had already been tightly stuck to the sweat. The wet and sticky feeling made her feel uncomfortable all over.

Just when she was feeling bored, a message suddenly came to her mind urging her to deal with legion affairs, but she had no time to care about those things at the moment.

He gritted his teeth and decided to go to the bathing area in the palace to wash himself up and get out of this terrible state.

The bathing place in the palace was a place her mother often went to. In her heart, it always had some meaning of protection.

The mysterious master related to "Three" couldn't possibly be so powerful as to extend that creepy invitation to him again.

With this thought in mind, Hui Le quickened his pace and walked towards the palace, as if as long as he reached that familiar and safe place, he could completely dispel the fear lingering in his heart.

PS: I wish all book friends good luck in the new year and a happy family reunion.

Then thank you all for your support.

Chapter 157: Inquiry and Almost Being Cleared

The regent was filled with helplessness. He glanced at the hot spring pool filled with steam and couldn't help but smile bitterly, muttering:

"Ever since this pool was built, I haven't had the chance to enjoy it properly. Now it's become your exclusive bathing place."

As he spoke, he looked up at the statue of the goddess of victory not far away. A set of exquisite women's power armor and underwear were casually hung on it, revealing a unique charm in the hazy water vapor.

The regent shook his head slightly, raised his hand and began to take off the crown on his head that symbolized supreme honor. His fingertips gently stroked the dazzling gems inlaid on it, each of which seemed to be telling the story of past glory and power.

The crown was slowly removed and placed on the jade table beside him. Then, he reached out to untie the magnificent white jade belt around his waist. The belt was crafted from the finest mutton-fat white jade, its soft texture complementing the delicate carvings. Every inch of it exuded the luxury of power.

He took off his belt, and the majestic and gorgeous clothes on his body also slipped off. He folded the clothes one by one and gently placed them on another ancient statue.

After doing all this, the Regent slowly stepped into the steaming hot spring pool.

Huile had already been soaking comfortably in the pool. This warm and comfortable place allowed her to briefly forget the horrific scene she had seen before.

White lotus flowers are blooming wildly around, with crystal water droplets hanging on the petals, looming in the steaming mist, like a dream wonderland.

The swirling mist was like a soft veil, cleverly concealing Hui Le's giant-like graceful yet powerful figure. Only a little bit of her jade-like skin occasionally revealed was enough to arouse endless imagination.

"Mother." Hui Legang was still excitedly praising the lotus flowers growing in the hot spring, saying how pure and elegant they were and how they added a touch of lively fairy spirit to the pond, but at this moment he suddenly regretted it.

Yuan's position was quite awkward, and she could see a little of her mother's figure, but as the original body, she always had an irrepressible curiosity and desire in her heart, wanting to see more.

But he was also afraid that any unusual movement in the hot spring pool and the possessive desire in his eyes would be discovered, which would leave a bad impression on her.

"Are you coming to take a bath too?"

The Regent looked calm, with a faint smile on her lips, and spoke in a generous manner. At the same time, she walked towards the hot spring pool and stepped lightly into the pool.

The warm spring water instantly wrapped around her body, and her skin, which was whiter than snow, was gradually dyed with a layer of charming pink under the infiltration of the spring water, just like the peach blossoms blooming in spring, delicate and gorgeous.

"Well, yes," Huile raised his head slightly, exhaled gently, and had a bit of fatigue on his face.

"I've been so busy lately with all the things going on in the army, I've been so exhausted that I can't spare any time to rest. So I thought I'd come to you and relax."

As she spoke, Huile's gaze involuntarily drifted towards the Regent's rosy skin. As if possessed by a magic spell, she moved a few steps silently in the direction of the Regent in this huge hot spring pool that was as spacious as a small lake.

Relax? The regent thought to himself, since when did this girl start treating her hot spring pool as a public bath?

However, she just shook her head helplessly in her heart and said nothing.

The regent raised her hand to tidy up the strands of long hair that were stuck to her cheeks, and the hair slid smoothly through her fingertips.

She had not planned to have anyone serve her today, and had deliberately sent the maid away, hoping to enjoy this moment of peace and comfort alone. Unexpectedly, her daughter would be here.

She tapped her toes to test the bottom of the pool, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that it would be impossible to have a good hot spring bath as long as the original body was there.

"Mother," Hui Le seemed to have made up her mind and moved closer to the Regent again. The warm spring water slowly flowed between their skin, creating ripples.

"I have always wanted to know, in this vast universe, is there any existence that can stand shoulder to shoulder with you and the Emperor?" Hui Le's eyes were full of curiosity and exploration, staring at the Regent closely.

"Of course," Regent Xi said slowly, his eyes seemed to penetrate the mist of the hot spring and look into the endless distance.

"Humanity's history in the universe is but a drop in the ocean, pitifully brief. Take the Outer Ones of the Star Gods, for example. They are physical gods who participated in the War of Heaven and still exist today."

As he spoke, Xi quietly watched Hui Le's every move, always feeling that there was something strange about this child today.

When she asked the question, there was a subtle fear hidden deep in her eyes, as if she was startled by something, and as if she was afraid of leading to some unknown consequences.

"What I want to know is who the owner of the number three is?" Hui Le said as she walked towards her mother step by step, facing the warm water flow. The sound of the gurgling hot spring water became clearer and clearer, just like her rapid heartbeat at the moment.

She was certain in her heart that the Emperor and the Regent must be hiding a shocking secret, a secret that was hidden among the Primarchs but was deliberately concealed.

But as soon as he thought of this, he felt timid again, afraid that his exploration would anger his mother and lead to his memory being wiped out or even worse.

After a tense silence, Xi finally spoke: "What you saw was not the master of the number three, but the master of the number seven."

"Why then?"

Hui Le became increasingly excited. His muscles tensed as he soaked in the hot spring, like a cheetah poised for action. His heart pounded against his chest, "When I was searching for the number three, I could clearly see Him."

"He denied his own death, and so from three he became seven."

The Regent raised his hand, covered his forehead with his wet hand, gently pressed his temple, and sighed inwardly.

The recent changes in this daughter are truly astonishing. Since the mutation, her psychic powers have grown to such an extent that she is powerful enough to peek into the mysterious existence hidden behind the numbers. I'm afraid there will be more unexpected variables in the future.

"After rejecting death and becoming the Lord of Stagnation from the Lord of Reincarnation, three is now his hidden number for the time being. Who knows, perhaps in the future, another being will occupy the number three."

The Regent closed her eyes slightly and took a long breath. A feeling of exhaustion that she had not felt in tens of thousands of years overwhelmed her like a tide.

"Are there any other owners of these numbers?" Hui Le asked cautiously with a hint of timidity in his voice.

At that moment, she keenly caught a slight change in the look in her mother's eyes when she looked at her. It was the same sharp look that she wore in the legion when she saw something she didn't like and wanted to get rid of it immediately, which made her hair stand on end.

Fortunately, the look was fleeting, and he soon returned to his extremely tired look.

PS: Please give me something, anything, even a comment.

Chapter 158: Confession and Revealed Possession

"I can tell you, but after you leave this hot spring pool, don't think about what I told you, don't ponder it, and don't tell anyone, not even your blood relatives. Can you do it?"

The thought of wiping him out that had flashed through the Regent's mind instantly disappeared, replaced by helplessness and compromise. She had no choice but to start the negotiation with her daughter and try to keep it secret.

At this moment, the hot spring pool is filled with steam, and the figures of mother and daughter are shrouded in a mysterious veil. Whether they will be enemies or friends, whether the mystery will be solved or a deeper one, all become increasingly elusive in this steaming mist.

Huile swallowed and nodded solemnly, his eyes full of desire for unknown secrets and awe of his mother's warnings.

Upon seeing this, the Regent closed his eyes slightly, as if considering where to begin. After a long pause, he slowly spoke...
