Chapter 259

Sylandri Veilwalker jumped in the gaps of reality. Cegorach's blessing and the Aeldari physique made her like a ghost existing under the veil of reality.

As a Harlequin who could enter and exit the Black Library, Sylandri Veilwalker also knew the internal structure of this fortress like the back of her hand.

She moved through the patrolling Cadian warriors and Blood Angels according to the rhythm of the famous play "The Fall of the Aeldari."

Even these excellent warriors could not discover her tracks.

Sylandri Veilwalker was therefore very proud of herself and found some fun while moving through the fortress.

She secretly drew on the faces of mortals who were sleeping, stuck notes saying "I am a ghoul" on the backs of the Blood Angels' power armor, and stole the Lho sticks of the Cadian 184th Regiment warriors.

The universe was so boring; they Harlequins were responsible for adding color to the stars.

Of course, important tasks could not be forgotten.

Yvraine hoped that Sylandri Veilwalker would infiltrate this fortress, investigate the "Human God of Death" clearly, and incidentally probe the expeditionary force's attitude.

This originally didn't need Sylandri Veilwalker.

As long as that venerable old farseer and old god-stick, the oldest farseer among the Aeldari now, Eldrad Ulthran, that old bastard, performed a prophecy, it would be fine.

In fact, Eldrad Ulthran also intended to do so.

But just as he was about to perform the prophecy, all the Aeldari psykers participating in the prophecy ritual, including Eldrad Ulthran, instinctively sensed danger.

Rashly prophesying that "Human God of Death" would cause them damage they couldn't bear.

Therefore, the Ynnari could only hope to collect some information in the material universe.

Moreover, Cegorach's will had also been transmitted.

Cegorach was also very interested in that "Human God of Death."

So, Sylandri Veilwalker had to complete her task before her pranks were discovered.

Thinking this, Sylandri Veilwalker jumped and jumped down from a high place, wanting to avoid the Blood Angels patrolling not far away—

Crack!!

The sound of a door opening suddenly rang out in mid-air. The moment Sylandri Veilwalker jumped up, a wooden door with red and pink appeared suddenly in front of her.

Sylandri Veilwalker saw a figure in the open wooden door who looked no different from a mortal, and there was a white pocket on that figure's stomach.

"Human God of Death"!

Sylandri Veilwalker was startled, completely not understanding how she had been discovered.

She quickly changed her posture in mid-air, trying to bypass the wooden door that appeared in mid-air.

However, just at this moment, gray nanomachines violently surged from the pocket, instantly wrapping around Sylandri Veilwalker's body.

Sylandri Veilwalker immediately sensed that this type of nanomachine was a design from humanity's Golden Age.

If she were on the ground, she might have been able to dodge it.

However, being in mid-air, her movement was limited, and she was almost immediately entangled by these nanomachines and dragged into the door.

The red and pink wooden door closed, and Sylandri Veilwalker immediately found herself dragged into a somewhat narrow conference room.

The "Human God of Death," Archmagos Belisarius Cawl, and others were all in it.

The moment she landed, Sylandri Veilwalker twisted her body. Sharp monofilament wires shot out from the Harlequin weapon "Harlequin's Kiss" on her wrist, circling around her body as she spun, tearing the nanomachines wrapped around her into wisps of silver-gray mist.

She pointed her toes on the ground, her figure moved, and she was about to disappear from the spot.

However, standing beside the "Human God of Death," that Blood Angel Terminator Captain named Kaelen moved.

He was clearly wearing heavy Terminator power armor and holding a heavy power hammer, but his speed was actually enough to catch up with Sylandri Veilwalker.

This was clearly extremely unreasonable.

But Kaelen arrived in front of Sylandri Veilwalker in the blink of an eye. The energy field on the power hammer in his hand roared and smashed heavily toward Sylandri Veilwalker.

Veilwalker's figure moved, and the slender Harlequin blade collided with the Hammer of Baal. The scorching dark blue energy field exploded in the void.

Sylandri Veilwalker jumped lightly.

She used her psychic power to manipulate the flip belt on her waist.

This type of belt was a product of Aeldari gravity technology, which could allow the wearer to manipulate the gravity within their own range.

Sylandri Veilwalker tried to lower her own gravity, allowing her to become faster—

Then Sylandri Veilwalker quickly sensed something strange.

The flip belt didn't follow her orders!

Sylandri Veilwalker not only failed to become lighter, but instead became heavier. Gravity pressed on her body like shackles.

Not just the flip belt, the gorgeous holographic suit on her body also flickered strangely, its performance dropping sharply.

Sylandri Veilwalker couldn't react in time.

And the Hammer of Baal in Captain Kaelen's hand had already lifted an energy field that roared like thunder, smashing heavily onto Sylandri Veilwalker's mirror mask.

Veilwalker felt a power far exceeding that of an ordinary Astartes, and her whole body flew backward with the swinging Hammer of Baal, her head smashing heavily into the wall.

All of this happened in an instant. Captain Kaelen, who had been strengthened by the acceleration gear, was already enough to catch up with the speed of the Aeldari Harlequin. Zhou Yun also silently used the power he had gained from the field of malicious arts to affect the machines on Sylandri Veilwalker's body, slowing her speed, thus subduing this elusive clown.

Zhou Yun manipulated the Water of Thirst, aggregating these nanomachines into a rope, and pulled Sylandri Veilwalker down from the wall.

Sylandri Veilwalker's mirror mask was covered with cracks. Having taken a direct hit from the Hammer of Baal without completely shattering was enough to see the strength of Aeldari craftsmanship.

"The dance steps of fate are always so unpredictable. I serve the 'Aeldari God of Death,' yet I am captured by the 'Human God of Death'."

Sylandri Veilwalker endured the dizziness and raised her head slightly to look at Zhou Yun:

"The greatest liar, clown, lunatic, and Laughing God Cegorach in the galaxy sends his greetings."

Zhou Yun looked at the tied-up Sylandri Veilwalker and just shook his head.

"First of all, I am not a god."

"Secondly, Cegorach can only rank fourth in the ranking of the greatest liars in the galaxy. As for the competitors for the smallest clown in the galaxy, there are too many. Of course, He is also unworthy of the title of the greatest lunatic."

Sylandri Veilwalker was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded in agreement: "The Liar God is not liar enough, the Clown God is not the smallest clown, the Lunatic God is actually relatively normal—isn't this the most ironic joke?"

Sylandri Veilwalker was not in a hurry.

Clearly, this group of humans didn't intend to kill her either.

If it were just detention, there was no cage in this world that could trap Sylandri Veilwalker.

She would definitely find a way to escape—

Ouch! Cegorach's hook above, why does it hurt so much?!

A burst of pain suddenly came from Sylandri Veilwalker's body.

She sensed that something had phase-shifted into her body.

"... Mind-Shackle Scarabs?!" Sylandri Veilwalker said with a sharp voice.

She discovered that there were a group of Necron nanomachines in her body, exactly the Mind-Shackle Scarabs that those Necron metal skeletons used to control other races.

Although Aeldari had the technology to remove these Necron nanomachines, it required specific machines and environments, and it would bring great pain.

At least for now, Sylandri Veilwalker had no way to deal with the Mind-Shackle Scarabs in her body.

"Why can you control Mind-Shackle Scarabs?!"

"Are you not just the 'Human God of Death'? Are you also a C'tan?"

"First of all, I want to emphasize, I am not a god."

In the Aeldari fortress, Archmagos Belisarius Cawl and others stood behind Zhou Yun. Sylandri Veilwalker, tied up by ropes condensed from the Water of Thirst, was thrown aside, guarded by Captain Kaelen.

After Sylandri Veilwalker was captured, the expeditionary force formally issued a condemnation to the Aeldari Ynnari, accusing them of shamelessly and corruptly sending spies to attempt to assassinate the high-level officials of the expeditionary force.

This was simply unforgivable, making the human expeditionary force high-level officials, who were mortals, fragile, pitiful, with poor physical fitness, and weak psychic power:

Including but not limited to the ordinary mortal Zhou Yun, the weak-willed Inquisitor Greyfax, the pitiful and fragile Living Saint Celestine, the weak-psychic-powered Leina, and the physically poor Belisarius Cawl, feel deep unease.

Their personal safety had been seriously endangered by the profane aliens.

If the Aeldari still wanted to negotiate, they had to follow the arrangements of the expeditionary force.

With this, the expeditionary force successfully brought the high-level officials of the Aeldari Ynnari into the fortress they controlled to conduct the subsequent negotiations.

They were able to occupy the home-field advantage, with hundreds of Blood Angels firmly surrounding the area.

"I am not the 'Human God of Death'."

Zhou Yun emphasized to the Aeldari who came to negotiate:

"I was just forcibly stuffed into being a Chosen of Death by the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang."

He felt that the facts were also like this.

The God of Death was clearly the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang; he was just forcibly stuffed with a part of the authority in this regard by the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang and gained a little power.

He could at most be considered a Chosen of Death or a Chosen of the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang level.

Hearing this, the old Aeldari farseer Eldrad Ulthran nodded slightly.

This soul seer had a long life, and as early as the Great Crusade era, he was already ten thousand years old, and he had had exchanges with many Primarchs and even the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang, and had established a connection that could barely be called friendship.

His reputation was very loud inside and outside the Aeldari.

It was roughly equivalent to Trazyn among the Necrons, Tzeentch among Chaos, and the Blood Ravens among the Astartes.

In other words, his reputation stank to the extreme.

Currently, this old farseer was exiled by the Craftworlds because he had stolen the corpses of various Aeldari farseers as spellcasting materials for rituals.

"Can you distinguish between a Chosen of God and a God?" Zhou Yun asked sincerely.

Eldrad Ulthran nodded again.

Then he turned his head to look at Yvraine beside him and said:

"Confirmed, this is the human god!"

"Their human god is like this!"
