Subspace, a colorful place of chaos, a place of madness and twisted destruction, a place where the will and emotions of all living things are projected, a battlefield where billions of chaos demons battle, including the home of the gods of chaos and the gods of order.
Amidst the thick subspace energy and storm, Ryan found himself under a huge crystal dome. The place was pure white, with dark blue silk threads and hundreds of floating crystal islands surrounding this grand dome.
The temple is shrouded in it, and within the temple, there are three very, very ancient statues.
The statues are three amphibian aquatic animals. From their appearance, they look like frogs. The three frogs are all floating in the air. They are in three different states. One is holding a jagged sword in one hand, and the other is holding a sword in his hand.
A book and a staff in one hand.
This seems to be the temple left behind in the subspace when the Ancient Saints still existed as a race.
But Ryan had no time to care about this at this time.
Dozens of tentacles and corrupted flesh growing out of Morgul in human form are strongly entangled with Ryan's body. The corruption of chaos continues to penetrate into Ryan's body, but it constantly collides with his power.
A tangled mass of black mud and sky-blue light and shadow are entangled together.
Ryan has been fighting Morgul for three days and three nights. In the chaotic time sequence of subspace, only the ancient temple has peace.
However, just at the entrance of the hall, Sulia was holding up the Sword of Lyonnas, fighting against the endless Chaos Demons outside. The female knight had already suffered a lot of injuries. If it weren't for the artifact plate armor and jewelry blessed by the Emperor,
The power of the sword gave Sulia endless power, and the sword of Lyonnais itself was an artifact that restrained magic. Sulia had already been swallowed by the Chaos Demon.
"You shouldn't have come, Sulia." After three days and three nights of hard fighting, Ryan gradually suppressed Morgul's power. The Sun King said painfully: "As long as I don't die, you won't die.
The spirit pattern will allow us to share life, why are you doing this?"
"Like Teresa, I have always hoped to do something for you, my dear." Sulia said softly. She was fighting a red Khorne demon. This Khorne demon had well-developed limbs, but
She was simple-minded. When a Tzeentch fire demon spit out a fireball and attacked Surya, the female knight simply dodged it easily. The fireball hit the Khorne demon's head, knocking it back. Then Surya immediately added a sword.
, the sword of Lyonnais passed through the skull.
The blade swung, and the Khorne demon smashed the floor of the temple, its spine shattered. Surya turned to face the fire demon Tzeentch. Her long golden curly hair spun in a circle, and golden flames spit out from the blade. Tzeentch
The fire demon was burned into a pile of ashes.
A wave of Chaos Demons was temporarily killed and retreated. Sulia clenched the Sword of Lyonnais with both hands. She looked at the corpses and blood stains of the Chaos Demons around her. Before the next wave of attacks came, she immediately turned her attention to those who were still fighting.
Lion and Morgul.
At this time, Morgul is very strange. It no longer looks like a beast. On the contrary, it has turned into a human appearance, and it looks exactly like Ryan. If it weren't for the purple-black chaos corrosion on Morgul's body and the
With its wings, growing tentacles and spitting mud, Sulia could almost think that Morgul was Ryan's clone.
Now it seems that Ryan has gained the advantage, Morgul's power is retreating, and Sulia has to wait to see more Chaos Demons pour in. The leader has skull wings on his back, holding a blood giant ax and a
A brass iron chain, the familiar eight-pillar holy emblem on the brass armor, and the eight horns on the cow's face illustrate the problem.
It's the big devil! Sulia tightened her grip on the sword of Lyonnais, and the female knight lowered her steps, preparing to deal with the powerful enemy in front of her.
On the other side, Ryan had also suppressed Morgul's power. A long psychic blade stretched out from the wrist of the original Gray Knight. He cut off the tentacles entangled in his body and stabbed him with a sword at the same time.
Morgul's chest.
There was a painful expression on Morgul's face, and for a moment, Ryan even felt that he was stabbing himself - Morgul had completely transformed into Ryan's appearance.
"Go to hell, Morgul, the destruction and withering you brought is over." Ryan thrust the psychic blade deep into Morgul's body, and black blood spurted out, splashing all over Ryan.
The Primarch and the Shadow are now entangled together, like two evil spirits, and it is almost impossible to tell who is who.
"Ugh!" After suffering a devastating blow, a stream of black blood flowed from the corner of Morgul's mouth. Shadow Evil lowered his head and glanced at his chest. He suddenly became depressed and seemed to have recognized his fate.
He gave up resistance and continued fighting with Ryan, and squatted down as if appointed.
Ryan's purifying spiritual power defeated Morgul's corruption, and the shadow evil in front of him seemed to become pure. He sat slumped on the ground and spread his hands: "You won, mortal. I didn't lose to you, I just lost."
I gave you that special power. Perhaps, from the moment I accepted the power of chaos, this was my destined fate."
"Destined? You should know that Chaos will never let you fulfill your wish as you imagined." Ryan put away his psychic blade, pulled out the Nemesis, and prepared to give Morgul the final blow.
"I'm not trying to fulfill my wish." At this moment, Morgul suddenly shook his head. It looked like a beast for a while, and then it looked like a human again. It changed over and over, and the only thing that remained unchanged was helplessness: "I just wanted to survive.
Survive and continue to exist, I should have been part of the magic web of life
To the forest, wood elves symbolize prosperity, growth, luxuriance and evergreen. However, as the seasons cycle, the magic web of life will naturally wither, decay, wither and even destroy. And Alaire wants to deprive me of all this. She wants to take me away.
Being stripped away from the Demonic Network is the reason why I finally fell into chaos."
"I'm just pursuing freedom, mortal!" Morgul continued: "Life is a reincarnation, and living things are composed of birth, growth, prosperity, decline, withering, and death. But the cowardly mortals naturally refused.
Decline, withering, withering and destruction, this appears to me, I want to say, why should the wood elves deprive me of this part of the magic web of life? Why should they deprive the freedom of things to wither, the world to be destroyed, and the forest to wither?"
"If you are not free, you will destroy the forest." Ryan said lightly.
The original body understood something. He understood why Morgul could be reborn no matter how many times he was destroyed. No matter where he was resurrected, Morgul would stare at the Great Forest of Athel Loren. Because the chaos was thrown away, the formation called
The concept of Morgul is originally part of Athel Loren's Weave of Life.
"Isn't going to destruction also a kind of freedom? No one has the right to deprive others of their freedom!" Morgul's voice carried some kind of magic, and Shadow Evil continued to shake his head: "The so-called big forest you protect, the so-called big forest you protect,
Order is only achieved by depriving others of their freedom. How do you know that you represent the will of the forest? Do you represent the will of mortals? No, you never are. You have the freedom to choose to prosper, and I also have the choice to wither.
freedom."
"...So I have the freedom to completely eliminate you." Ryan didn't want to argue with Morgul anymore.
From a certain perspective, he admitted that Morgul was right. Any mortal has the freedom of choice. Withering and decay, death and destruction are actually part of the forest.
"Do you really have freedom? How ignorant and pathetic." Morgul sneered, hehehehe, smiling like a child: "My Lord Primarch? Don't look at others, think about yourself, you
This file, this wrench, are you really killing me because of your own free will? You are just a tool being used, a puppet who listens to others."
"Have you ever made a real choice for yourself?" Morgul's words questioned Ryan, pointing directly to his true heart: "You are just a tool, following the path arranged by everyone, everyone is using you,
Does your goddess really entrust everything to you? She can abandon you at any time and find another lover! Your woman only loves you because of your strength. Without status, who can you get? You
Do you really think you’ve been doing multiple-choice questions?”
"Repeating the same history, repeating the same mistakes, everything is happening again, how sad, the original body of the Gray Knights." Morgul laughed wildly: "You came out of Nord, looking for freedom, but you are actually controlled by the Fairy of the Lake.
You arrived at Marienburg in search of freedom, but you were actually plotted by multiple forces.
In the Kingdom of Knights, you serve as a noble to seek freedom, but in fact everyone is using you. The Lady of the Lake uses you to avoid the End of Time, the Lord of Humanity uses you to purify the original body, and the enlightened nobles use you to explore other paths. Wood Elf
Using you to trade supplies, even the dwarves are using you to regain their homeland."
"You keep saying that you want to prevent the Final Moment, but even this goal was imposed on you by others."
Ryan's face was ashen. The original body took a step forward and the Nemesis swung, but Morgul easily dodged it. With a simple spell, a colorful galaxy stopped between the two people.
"I really doubt, Primarch, have you ever really exercised your true thoughts with free will?" Morgul stood up. He was a human for a while, and became a regiment leader for the next.
The devil with full eyes: "I probably understand why you like stockings so much, and why you let all your women wear stockings, because only in
In that matter, you can probably really be the master for the last time, right? In normal times, you are the original body, the king, the husband, the champion chosen by God, the leader and the model of knightly virtue. You have always been living up to the imagination of others.
Living like this, only in bed, you still have some autonomy, how sad, is this the treatment that the Emperor's son, the Primarch of the Gray Knights, should have?"
"Tzeentch!!!" Ryan was extremely angry. The original body saw that the existence in front of him was no longer Morgul, but Tzeentch himself! Tzeentch, one of the four gods of Chaos, was borrowing Morgul's body, and
Talk to him!
"Hmm~ Change is a good thing~" Tzeentch named Morgul laughed ferociously. It ignored Ryan's roar. The power of the evil god was so powerful that even if Ryan was the original body, it would be difficult to break through it in a short time.
A defense crafted by Tzeentch himself.
Ryan's onslaught was higher and higher, and his psychic energy poured out crazily, turning into a giant dragon and attacking Tzeentch's colorful galaxy.
"Acknowledge the fact, dear, you are a tool, a complete tool, and everyone is using you." Tzeentch twisted his body, and his chirping voice would penetrate into his mind no matter how much Ryan blocked it:
"A tool is just a tool, how to strengthen it, how to transfer it, it is still a tool, it is just a tool, hehehehehehehehe~"
"Shut up!" Ryan roared furiously: "With great power comes great responsibility! This is my mission, and I must abide by it. If my father asks me to be a tool, then I will become it, and I will bring destruction to it.
and purification!”
"Hey hey hey~ Hee hee hee~" Tzeentch kindly corrected the "mistake" in Ryan's words: "Is that really your responsibility, is it really your mission?"
"My original body, your IQ is probably all concentrated on the two things under your belly, right?" Tzeentch was ecstatic, and he said in a neutral tone: "Is that your responsibility? That is
The responsibility of the lord of mankind! Is that your mission? That is the mission given to you by others! You are the only pig, Teddy who thinks with dick, you think you are smart, you think you control your destiny, you wretch
, you never really dominated yourself for a day!!!”
"That's for the fate of mankind!" Ryan said coldly. He gasped for air. Cracks were appearing in Tzeentch's colorful galaxy, and Ryan cut several ripples on it.
"Ouch~~~The fate of mankind!" Tzeentch twisted around, its body spinning unnaturally, like a top: "Ouch~~~Dad's little baby Ryan, dear foreign father Maka
I kidnapped you from your hometown and made you take on inexplicable responsibilities. What does the life and death of human beings here have to do with you? Why do you have to pay so much? What about your native father?
I want to use you to make you work overtime endlessly until you die. Finally, I will drain you dry and sell you as a piglet. You are an old capitalist. Do you think they are really doing it for you? What kind of thing are you? Oh no, there is no gift from them.
Yours, who do you think you are, just like those little Barbie dolls who dress up as you like and put on all kinds of stockings and skirts to please you, who do you think you are?"
After saying that, the next second, an image was displayed in front of Ryan.
The world is burning, everything is withering, and the space fleet of the human empire is heading towards a planet to bring its own destruction.
Are humans at war with Chaos?
No, it’s humans who are at war with humans!
The war with Chaos is over, and the Emperor is purging the Primarchs and their Legions.
This is not true, this is not true! Ryan shook his head desperately, and he told himself, this is not true, I am not Horus, I will not do this, my father will not do this to me, my ability is unique
Yes, I am the original body of the Gray Knight, I can purify corruption, I cannot be copied...
……tool?
"Come on, little baby, tell me loudly, you are just a tool. You know very well that you are just a tool. You have already abandoned yourself. Come on, tell me!" Tzeentch continued to laugh:
"Apart from your strength, you are actually nothing. Are you brave? Are you great? All you do is copy your predecessors
What you did was that you didn’t even copy the homework well. It’s just that they wanted to support you and make you happy to do what they wanted. You are still complacent and self-righteous. Isn’t the title of Sun King very nice? I think
Are you so happy? I am a tool man, a high-level tool man! A master tool man!"
Ryan really wanted to shout loudly, yes, I am the tool in my father's hands. I am the Emperor's Blade. I have already recognized my destined fate. You can't trick me no matter what. I am not Horu.
Si, I am not one of those fallen primarchs, I...
But, are you really willing to do so?
A deep stinging feeling pierced Ryan's heart.
Something is broken.
Deep down in his heart, Ryan has always been proud and very proud.
He is a time traveler, he is the person chosen by the Emperor, he is the original body of the Gray Knight, he is different, he not only received the power of the Emperor, but even the inheritance of the Imperial Prime Minister Malcador.
He was born to be extraordinary, and he did so, precisely because of his specialness and irreplaceability. He also felt that with such a special power and identity as the original body, he must bear the great abilities and responsibilities.
He will work hard to prevent the final moment.
Even among the originals, Ryan felt that he was different.
But, is it really different? So what does it mean when I have always despised Ruth, a stupid wolf?
In the distance, Sulia's whole body was covered in blood. She was still resisting the Chaos Demon, and at the same time she was speaking eagerly to Ryan, but Ryan couldn't hear a word, as the original body was locked in a war with itself.
I am not a tool.
But if something looks like a tool, is used like a tool, and performs functions like a tool, then it is a tool.
No, I was not a tool at first, I was just a mortal at first... But after I was chosen by the Emperor, I became a tool.
Ryan angrily gave up the idea and frantically thought about something that could defy this logic and justify it.
In theory, since I was chosen by the Emperor, I have been a tool... In practice, I am also a tool.
No, I am not a tool!
Theoretically, my father and Malcador created me to purify the original body, give the wights on the Golden Throne a second chance, and prevent the birth of the Final Moment and the second Eye of Terror. I know very well that I still
It's a tool.
"No! I am not a tool!" The original body finally roared out all the anger from his mouth. Thinking about the origin of all problems almost caused him to have a schizophrenia. Ryan's face was covered with veins and he was in great pain.
Chaos finally waited for this moment. As the spirit of the Gray Knight's original body fluctuated violently, his perfect defense finally showed its flaws.
Take advantage of now! In the realm of chaos, the four gods of chaos have already reached an agreement in advance. Taking advantage of the moment of Ryan's mental breakdown, they simultaneously gave their powerful blessings to Ryan!
Morgul's body suddenly exploded, and two tentacles burst out, piercing into Ryan's open mouth. The thick tentacles opened their mouths, and along his esophagus, four chaotic energy poured into Ryan's body at the same time, quickly twisting
And everything that corrupts him!
The craziest echo came from the subspace, which was the roar of victory of the four gods of chaos.
From the beginning, from the moment Morgul appeared, it was Tzeentch's plan.
This is how the former Warmaster Horus was corrupted.
