Chapter 315: It is now the 22nd day, 22:22

"I propose that Ynnead's main body descend outside the Black Library."

In the Aeldari Embassy, Yvraine said to The Visarch.

This made The Visarch feel a little confused.

"Little girl, Ynnead's main body has not yet been fully born; is this more dangerous?"

Ynnead indeed possessed powerful strength, but He, who had not yet been born, mostly relied on the avatar The Yncarne, the Chosen The Visarch, and Yvraine to vent His power.

Besides that, His main body could only act based on crude instincts and desires.

"The closer Ynnead and The Yncarne are, the stronger The Yncarne will be."

Yvraine said in a low voice:

"And Ynnead Himself, even if He can only rely on instinct and desire to act, and His power is not yet complete, but by virtue of His identity as the Aeldari god of death, He can restrain Cegorach to a certain extent... and don't forget, the power that constitutes Ynnead, besides the Infinite Circuit, also includes the residual power of Phoenix King Asuryan."

"If He Himself arrives at the Black Library, or rather arrives next to the pantheon, then the Asuryan power remaining in it will also be used by Him."

In this way, even Cegorach Himself would not be able to do anything to Ynnead.

Unless Cegorach had other allies.

Yvraine calmed down and guessed.

The Chaos Five Gods? No, this was impossible; Cegorach could never cooperate with the Chaos Four Gods; Slaanesh naturally couldn't, Khorne loathed clowns, Nurgle was because of Isha's existence, and Tzeentch and the Emperor were both liars—could they still reach cooperation?

Then was it some force in the material universe?

The Orks would beat Cegorach up before beating Ynnead.

The Leagues of Votann were not much involved in Warp affairs.

The Tyranids were not an object that could be cooperated with at all.

It couldn't be the T'au, could it? No way, right?

A trace of hesitation appeared on Yvraine's face.

Could it be humans?

But Guilliman was on Macragge, Sanguinius had recently been fighting on the front lines of Ultramar, only...

Humanity's Death God? Could it be humanity's Death God? He had always been elusive.

That human Death God and Cegorach cooperated to hunt Ynnead?

This was entirely possible; the two's domains in the Warp overlapped. But, but Ynnead was one of the last hopes of the Aeldari.

Humanity's Death God, what kind of price did Zhou Yun have to offer to make Cegorach betray Ynnead?

Could He still save the Aeldari?

Yvraine shook her head, dispelling these thoughts from her mind.

Hopefully, it was just her being suspicious.

Even if there really was a problem, she and The Visarch could still rely on the connection with Ynnead to go directly to Ynnead's side.

"It must be Yvraine's idea." Zhou Yun quickly made a judgment.

The three giants of the Ynnari, Yvraine, The Visarch, and The Yncarne.

The Visarch was a student-licking dog with a split personality, and The Yncarne was Ynnead's premature baby.

The entire Ynnari actually shared Yvraine's one normal brain.

It was precisely because of this reason that Zhou Yun had prepared in advance.

"With the main body so close, The Yncarne's strength will be high, and I reckon that Ynnead, with some of Asuryan's power, has higher authority in the Black Library and the pantheon than I do."

"I'll be responsible for restraining Ynnead's main body; it's no problem for you to deal with The Yncarne, right?"

Cegorach said with a grin.

Zhou Yun nodded slightly.

It was not a big problem; this situation had not exceeded the planning of him, Cegorach, and Guilliman.

To prevent Yvraine from noticing that something was wrong, both Primarchs were still on Macragge, but if there was a need, just an Any-Door would allow the two to come over.

However, unless everything really exceeded the plan, I'm afraid Sanguinius and Guilliman wouldn't be needed.

The heavy door of the Black Library opened slowly, and The Yncarne, wrapped in heterogeneous flames, stepped into this treasure house of Aeldari knowledge like death itself.

"I am the avatar of the Aeldari Death God Ynnead, The Yncarne!"

"Cegorach, invited by you, I have come to discuss the future of the Aeldari with you."

The Yncarne opened His mouth slightly, letting out a cold whisper.

This voice didn't seem to come from His throat, but flowed out from some colder and deeper position.

But there was no response in the Black Library.

There was neither Cegorach's voice nor the Harlequins' voices; it seemed that there was no one here.

The Yncarne twisted His body suspended in the air, frowning and observing the surroundings—

Bang!!!

The sound of bolters suddenly rang out, and the automatic weapons hidden behind the bookshelves were venting ammunition from behind the books.

This was a pre-set automatic weapon, designed by Archmagos Belisarius Cawl, which vented two thousand two hundred hot bolter rounds toward The Yncarne in just one instant, completely covering The Yncarne's surroundings in a fan shape.

Even an experienced Astartes couldn't withstand such a sudden and dense firepower attack.

But in The Yncarne's view, this could at most be considered a ridiculous prank.

Just at the moment when the bullets were about to touch Him, The Yncarne began a dance of death; the Crone Sword, *Vilith-zhar*, stirred up the whispers of souls, weaving a dense net.

The bone sword collided with the bolter rounds, and every bullet that touched the blade seemed to be endowed with death, turning into pale ashes and fading away in an instant.

Not a single bolter round touched The Yncarne's body; a thick layer of pale sand accumulated under His body, all of which were bolter rounds that had been "killed."

"Clown, is this your ridiculous prank?"

The whisper sounded again, and The Yncarne questioned with disdain.

In His view, this couldn't even be called an attack, just a bad joke.

The only response to The Yncarne was the sound of pulling the trigger.

He was disdainful; another boring joke. How could mere bullets hurt the avatar of the god of death?

The Crone Sword, *Vilith-zhar*, was raised slightly, and The Yncarne dodged sideways.

Then, He didn't dodge.

The scorching laser engulfed everything within ten meters of The Yncarne, and everything was burned into a liquid state under the heat of the melta fire.

【Item Name: Heat Ray Gun】

【Origin: 22nd Century Earth—Future Department Store】

【Production Time: 231. M3】

【Function: A powerful weapon-type item; one shot can destroy a building, and it is one of the common mouse-extermination tools in the 22nd century.】

An item with a simple and crisp effect, combined with Zhou Yun's perfect marksmanship.

Zhou Yun's shot was aimed at The Yncarne's head and hit it.

But it was hard to say whether the head was a fatal spot for The Yncarne, the avatar of the god of death.

Even if it was, it was probably impossible to send Him away with just one shot.

Zhou Yun, who had hidden his figure with the Blind Spot Star, stood at a high place and observed The Yncarne.

"CEGORACH!!!"

An angry roar sounded in the void, and The Yncarne's body appeared in the flickering firelight.

"I came to discuss the future of the Aeldari! What are you doing!!"

His body was full of melted traces, and half of His face was melted, revealing the spirit and bone that constituted Him.

But layers of Aeldari runes depicting wings, flames, a bird's head, a single eye, and a crown swirled on His face.

It was Asuryan's power; Ynnead had used the Asuryan power remaining in the Black Library and the pantheon to protect His avatar.

Ynnead inherited Asuryan's power and, in a sense, was the true successor of the Phoenix King.

His position in the pantheon was far higher than Cegorach's, and His control over the Black Library and the pantheon was also stronger than His.

At the same time, outside the Black Library, giggling laughter and cold whispers sounded simultaneously.

Obviously, Cegorach had also held back Ynnead's main body.

Zhou Yun only needed to subdue The Yncarne.

Retreat quickly! Retreat quickly! Retreat quickly!

Three low roars sounded in The Yncarne's ears; that was Yvraine's warning.

But The Yncarne was not worried about being in danger; what was wrapped around Him now was the barrier created by Asuryan back then, and even Khaine at His peak couldn't forcibly break through it; unless Cegorach invited one of the Chaos Gods, it was almost impossible to break this barrier head-on.

But since Yvraine had warned Him, retreating was fine.

He turned around and wanted to leave the Black Library, but saw a burly human figure blocking His front.

That human figure was holding a baseball bat, with a wide and round face, looking like a tiger.

"Do you know what time it is today?"

That human figure asked, and then answered his own question:

"Today is the 22nd day of the month of Conno on Macragge, at 22:22."

"It is the first celebration and ceremony of praising Saint Doraemon in the galaxy."

Saying this, that human figure took a deep breath.

"Fus"

Complex and cumbersome musical rhythms came from his throat.

Macragge, Hera Fortress, Aeldari Embassy area.

"Damn it!" Yvraine let out a low roar.

Through The Yncarne's perspective, Yvraine had already determined that Cegorach had really betrayed Ynnead.

She turned her head violently and looked at The Visarch beside her.

"Use Ynnead's blessing to let us go to the Black Library."

Before The Visarch could agree, the Aeldari Embassy suddenly began to tremble slightly.

"If I had a robot cat, I would call him Ding-Dong,"

"Bamboo-Copter and Time Tunnel, can go anywhere."

"Let children, adults, and bad guys all become good people!"

"Ang ang ang! Ding-Dong help me realize all my wishes..."

The cheerful hymn sounded under the seven hills carrying Hera Fortress.

This was the first celebration of Saint Doraemon, a ceremony for the Saint Doraemon sect to praise that great figure.

They chanted hymns, shared dorayaki made by the Gourmet Tablecloth, juice made by the Leaf Decomposition Bacteria, praised the name of Saint Doraemon 222 times, and also praised the names of Sanguinius, Guilliman, and Gian.

Xiang Xiang Leina took a deep breath; she actually wanted to go to the celebration.

It was just a pity that Zhou Yun had given her, Tigurius, and Mephiston a task.

The three psychics stood together, and Tigurius looked at Xiang Xiang Leina and Mephiston with a tired face.

"What is our task?" He asked, having just left the Ptolemy Library.

"It's a task given by Zhou Yun, specifically..."

Xiang Xiang Leina brewed for a moment and imitated Zhou Yun's tone:

"Use your psychic power to blow those Aeldari bean sprouts into the sky one by one!"
