Chapter 362: Abaddon?

~6 min read 1,165 words

"He is the Wolf King from Fenris, he is my brother, he is Leman Russ."

The whisper of knowledge echoed beside Zhou Yun.

A kind of unbridled wildness exploded violently before Zhou Yun; the unbearable heatwaves on the nuclear-radiated wasteland seemed to recede.

Following this came a savage, icy wind, like a blizzard from the Ice Age, blowing toward Zhou Yun.

That figure with wild, golden braided hair and a long, gaunt face that looked as if it had been carved by ice blades stood horizontally before Zhou Yun.

Knowledge converged into that savage figure, a figure clad in dark blue armor with two wild wolves lurking by his side.

The golden eyes of that figure were filled with a sense of barbarian dullness, and he was observing Zhou Yun with great interest from not far away.

Then, that dullness instantly turned into cunning————

"Russ is a liar!"

"He was never any barbarian! He deliberately disguised himself as that stupid dog-like creature to deceive others!"

"I thought he was Thor from ancient Terra mythology, but in reality, he is Loki."

"It was only when he fought me to the death on Prospero that I realized this."

"The bastard! He actually dared to accuse me and my Legion of being too deeply mired in arcane things!"

"When I distorted time, he walked through the frozen time completely unaffected."

"When I summoned the torrents of the Warp, he suppressed them with just a few savage growls."

"When I unleashed the psychic power within my flesh to transform into a giant made of light and ether, he actually grinned and transformed into a similar form."

"This wild wolf's connection to the Great Ocean is as close as mine, and his research into psychic power is by no means superstition."

"Leman Russ is a cunning wild wolf, a wise psychic master; do not be deceived by his appearance!"

This passage of knowledge echoed in Zhou Yun's ears; it was clearly written by Ma Genusi after the Burning of Prospero.

The defensive mechanism within the *Book of Ma Genusi* released this knowledge about Russ, activating it to intercept Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun's mouth couldn't help but twitch; he hadn't expected Ma Genusi to choose to use Leman Russ to protect his own Warp essence?

Could it be because the psychological shadow Russ left on him was too great, making him subconsciously feel that Russ was very strong—strong enough to protect his essence?

But it had to be said, even if it was just a Leman Russ activated from knowledge, the sense of oppression he brought was unparalleled.

Zhou Yun flicked the red cloak in his hand violently, and the silver-white lightning was suddenly repelled. He looked up at that figure, as dazzling as lightning and as massive as a Titan.

Leman Russ's material form seemed to have disintegrated; the magnificent power residing within his body was released, turning him into a savage and primitive storm.

Black rain poured down, the night was deep, and scorching lightning struck the heavy, leaden clouds. The two wild wolves lurking by Russ's side also pounced toward Zhou Yun.

But the flow of time in the surroundings suddenly slowed down; the fall of every raindrop became slow motion. Also slowed down were the two wild wolves activated from knowledge.

Zhou Yun pressed the Time-Madness Clock, slowing the surrounding time by sixty thousand times.

But the savage storm that Leman Russ had transformed into showed no sign of stopping; the time dilation had absolutely no effect on him.

Although he didn't know how much of the original's power this Russ in the book world possessed, Zhou Yun didn't intend to waste time with him.

He grabbed the Mechanized Device with one hand and took out a petri dish with the other, which contained a type of bacteria he had cultivated with an originally unclear purpose.

Mechanized Device: Star Adalia————

The scorching light of a star burst forth in the book world. Zhou Yun took the opportunity to pull the Finder's Cane from his pocket, then turned and ran.

A low, powerful chanting sound echoed in the Tizca Pyramid. A strong psychic shock swept through the surroundings, causing countless precious scrolls to fly about.

Sanguinius's white figure was also violently thrown out, drawing an arc in the air and crashing heavily against the wall.

The Archangel's face was covered in blood, his golden hair hung down, his gaze carried deep exhaustion, and a pair of wings, white with metallic blue, hung behind him.

"... You." Ma Genusi's angry roar sounded. He twisted his severely wounded body and slowly walked toward Sanguinius.

He reached out his hand, pulled the Crimson Blade out of his neck, and threw it onto the ground.

Those hideous wounds also healed continuously under the urging of his powerful psychic energy, returning to their original state within a few breaths.

But Ma Genusi was still terrified.

Clearly, the power of the Changer of Ways had caused the wound on Sanguinius to expand, and the power Horus left on Sanguinius ten thousand years ago was raging, making Sanguinius extremely weak.

But he still almost killed him; Ma Genusi was almost banished back to the Warp by Sanguinius.

Even so weak... he still almost killed him.

"So Lorgar was telling the truth."

Sanguinius said in a nearly calm tone:

"Your body has always been the external manifestation of your own psychic power, just like our father."

"There aren't even any organs in the true sense within this scarlet body of yours; otherwise, that sword just now should have finished you off."

Sanguinius had slashed the Crimson Blade into Ma Genusi's neck, in a position almost identical to the wound Fulgrim caused to Guilliman.

Even a Primarch would lose the ability to resist after taking such a sword, but Ma Genusi did not.

Ma Genusi looked at the calm Sanguinius and still didn't dare to approach for a while.

Sanguinius's fierce performance just now made Ma Genusi feel fear, fearing that he still had some power hidden, waiting for him to approach before launching a desperate counterattack.

"I have a spell, originally intended for Russ."

A vicious thought rose in the bottom of Ma Genusi's heart.

He had an extremely malicious spell, filled with the blasphemous power of the Changer of Ways. That spell could dismantle both material and Warp existences into pure knowledge and seal them into Ma Genusi's *Book of Ma Genusi*.

He had originally intended to use this spell to blaspheme and restrain Russ, making that wild wolf his slave.

But now it seemed that using it on Sanguinius wouldn't be bad either.

Ma Genusi moved his throat slightly, opened his mouth, and was about to chant that blasphemous incantation.

"Uh, ah, na?"

"Aba? Aba aba?"

A few funny and meaningless syllables spilled from Ma Genusi's mouth.

He blinked his eyes in confusion, suddenly discovering that the knowledge about that spell in his mind seemed to have disappeared.
