Chapter 363: Why is Ma Genusi's head pointy?

Ma Genusi stared blankly and confusedly at Sanguinius in front of him.

He tried to open his mouth several times, wanting to spit out the incantation he had written to restrain Sanguinius, who was already weak to the extreme, into the *Book of Ma Genusi*.

But he tried several times, and only "iya ya" sounds came out of his mouth; his mind was also filled with chaos.

The knowledge about that incantation seemed to have disappeared from Ma Genusi's mind, leaving only a hollow void; no matter what, he couldn't remember it.

Ma Genusi panicked subconsciously.

Knowledge—only knowledge was something Ma Genusi absolutely could not abandon.

For ten thousand years, he had lost his fleshly body, his soul was shattered, and his progeny were all ashes, but these were not important.

As long as there was knowledge, he was still the Crimson King, the Sorcerer King, and Ma Genusi.

Everything about Ma Genusi came from his knowledge; knowledge was Ma Genusi, and Ma Genusi was knowledge; the two were inseparable.

"What did you do?!" Ma Genusi roared, questioning Sanguinius.

And Sanguinius, looking at the expression of mixed confusion and anger on Ma Genusi's face, couldn't help but hook his mouth into a smile.

Ma Genusi let out a low growl in annoyance. He pulled the *Book of Ma Genusi*, which condensed all that knowledge and thought, from his waist, trying to find the incantation from it.

This wasn't the first time he had done this. Ever since Prospero was burned to ashes by the fire of the Wolves and the Custodes, Ma Genusi could always find some knowledge and spells in this book he had written that he had forgotten when he recorded them.

But where that spell should have been recorded in the book, there was nothing, only a twisted black mass lying on it, like a blob of chaotic ink.

However, what was eerie was that this ink blob seemed alive, constantly spreading toward other text on the surrounding pages. The text it touched would disintegrate from every stroke and merge into it, as if chaos and ignorance were devouring knowledge and enlightenment.

At the same time, the knowledge in Ma Genusi's mind was also flowing away along with it.

The Crimson King's single eye widened, and he growled in an angry voice: "Bacteria!"

It was bacteria. His single eye saw it—a strange bacterium was spreading in the *Book of Ma Genusi*, eroding and devouring the knowledge in the book, and also devouring the knowledge in Ma Genusi's mind.

He reached out his hand angrily, wanting to stop the expansion of the bacteria in the book————

"Mechanized Device: Hua Hua Hua Di Huang's Sword!"

Zhou Yun's voice suddenly sounded from the book.

Before Ma Genusi could react, Zhou Yun's arm, burning with golden psychic flames, thrust out violently from the pages of the *Book of Ma Genusi*.

His arm was as sharp as the real Hua Hua Hua Di Huang's Sword, thrusting heavily into the scarlet giant hand Ma Genusi wanted to reach toward the *Book of Ma Genusi*.

"Ah roar!!!"

A savage growl sounded from Ma Genusi's mouth. The scorching pain brought by the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang's psychic power made him unable to help but withdraw his hands.

And Zhou Yun, wearing orange-yellow interwoven shoes, also drilled out of the *Book of Ma Genusi* while holding a petri dish in one hand.

"Success." Zhou Yun nodded to the weak Sanguinius.

The bacteria in his hand were "bacteria that could eat the knowledge in the book," bacteria created by the Random Plan Bacteria Maker.

They could devour the knowledge in the book, turning the content into a mass of meaningless garbled code, but only limited to one book.

Although the bacteria created by the Random Plan Bacteria Maker had an absolute effect, when he had just created this type of bacteria, Zhou Yun really couldn't think of any way to utilize them.

After all, if he really wanted to destroy the knowledge in a book, Zhou Yun could just stuff the book into his 4D pocket and sell it.

It wasn't until Sanguinius discovered that Ma Genusi's Warp essence was the *Book of Ma Genusi* itself that Zhou Yun found a use for these bacteria.

The *Book of Ma Genusi* was Ma Genusi himself; the *Book of Ma Genusi* was even closer to his true self than the current Ma Genusi.

All of Ma Genusi's knowledge, thoughts, and concepts were in the *Book of Ma Genusi*, even those he had forgotten were all in it.

Digesting the knowledge in the *Book of Ma Genusi* was equivalent to digesting Ma Genusi's own knowledge.

And the copies of the *Book of Ma Genusi* were interconnected with the original. Zhou Yun didn't need to approach Ma Genusi, nor did he need to risk seizing the *Book of Ma Genusi*; both were highly difficult.

So Zhou Yun entered the world within the *Book of Ma Genusi* through the "Shoes for Entering Storybooks," went directly to the original through the copy, and spread the "bacteria that could eat the knowledge in the book" from within.

Now, just by looking at it, Zhou Yun knew this plan had succeeded.

"Ah!!!" A savage roar devoid of wisdom came from Ma Genusi's mouth.

He reached out his arms toward Zhou Yun and Sanguinius, seemingly wanting to chant some kind of sorcery.

But in the end, Ma Genusi only released a pure psychic hammer, crude and simple, as if it were a child who had just awakened psychic power or some female psychic Ogryn from Ashford.

Although Zhou Yun specifically chose chapters related to sorcery to start spreading the bacteria, the spread of bacteria required time, and the knowledge in the *Book of Ma Genusi* was as vast as the sea. Ma Genusi hadn't forgotten all the knowledge yet.

It was just that in his mind, within his knowledge system, a void had suddenly appeared. Those sorceries he was familiar with and used often were disappearing bit by bit.

The result brought by the void in the knowledge system was that even for those sorceries he hadn't forgotten, he had to think and search before he could correctly release them.

Not only on the level of sorcery, but all of Ma Genusi's thinking had become slow, and the situation on the battlefield no longer allowed for this time to think.

The psychic hammer released by Ma Genusi was so powerful; although it had no technique to speak of, Ma Genusi was one of the strongest psychics in the galaxy. Even Ahriman, the Lord of the Rubric, couldn't touch the hem of Ma Genusi's garment on the psychic level.

The walls made of silver and gold turned to dust in the face of the tsunami-like psychic power, shattering into the smallest molecules, ignited in the friction between psychic power and matter, and between matter and matter, turning into a raging sea of fire surging toward Zhou Yun and the weak Sanguinius.

Zhou Yun quickly pulled the Rebound Cloak from his 4D pocket and flicked it violently at the psychic tsunami. This psychic tsunami was immediately deflected and shot to the side.

If it were those sorceries with more complex and bizarre effects, there might still be a chance to bypass the Rebound Cloak.

But such a crude psychic hammer, such a straightforward attack, was exactly where the Rebound Cloak was most useful.

However, Ma Genusi seemed to have anticipated this situation.

He released that crude psychic hammer just to stall for time so he could find a suitable sorcery from his knowledge system, which now had voids, to solve the predicament before him.

Ma Genusi whispered blasphemous incantations in a stuttering voice. This incantation turned into semi-transparent crystal scarabs that twisted their bodies, drilled into the floor made of silver and gold, and drilled directly into the core of this *Revenge of Tizca*, merging with the arcane focal points that maintained this pyramid-shaped warship's energy.

In an instant, those arcane focal points became restless.

Ma Genusi was going to ignite this flagship of his, using the terrifying Warp energy accumulated within it to directly destroy everything in the surroundings.

Sanguinius was already so weak that even moving was difficult, and his psychic power had been exhausted. It was impossible for the two of them to escape the explosion range of the entire *Revenge of Tizca*.

"He is detonating this entire warship?" Sanguinius raised his head weakly, his gaze carrying a bit of disbelief, as if he were asking Ma Genusi with his eyes if he knew what he was doing.

Zhou Yun also scratched his head. He helped Sanguinius up, and his other hand pulled the Anywhere Door from his 4D pocket.

Ma Genusi looked blankly at the red-and-pink wooden door Zhou Yun had pulled out, as if asking what this door was.

Ma Genusi had originally known of the existence of the Anywhere Door; after all, Zhou Yun hadn't used it in front of various people few times.

But at this moment, he had forgotten it; the void of knowledge in his mind made Ma Genusi ignore the existence of the Anywhere Door.

Zhou Yun didn't hesitate at all, kicked open the Anywhere Door, and drilled in with Sanguinius.

And Ma Genusi, looking at the *Revenge of Tizca* under his feet that was constantly gushing out strong psychic power, also fell into a brief hesitation.

"Run."

Khârn, who had been paying attention to the war situation, suddenly spoke to Abaddon.

At this moment, Abaddon's entire attention was focused on the *Macragge's Honour* that was currently engaged in battle.

The current *Vengeful Spirit* was being destroyed by various blasphemous plants summoned by the Chief Gardener of Nurgle's Garden, and it was gradually falling into a disadvantage in the fight with the *Macragge's Honour*.

But Abaddon still divided as much attention as possible to Khârn.

Abaddon respected Khârn's tactical opinions.

Ordinary people might think Khârn was just a Chosen version of a World Eaters Khorne madman.

But Abaddon knew that beneath Khârn's anger lay first-class cunning and tactical and strategic judgment.

From the Great Crusade era, when the World Eaters could still conduct organized actions under Angron's leadership, one could see Khârn's talent in war.

"I didn't expect to hear the word 'run' from the mouth of a Khorne Chosen. Won't the Blood God accuse you of being a coward?"

"..."

Khârn glanced coldly at Abaddon, who was trying to joke.

"Running doesn't mean fleeing; a strategic withdrawal doesn't mean being a coward."

"Withdrawal is to better fight with opponents worth engaging, and besides..."

"... the acts that can please the Blood God do not include being blown up by a void-flying psychic pyramid."

"After all, you can never take the skull of a pyramid."

"... Hmm?" Abaddon was slightly stunned after hearing Khârn's words, and then he discovered that the *Revenge of Tizca* in the distance was gushing out surging, majestic psychic power, shining like a small star, seemingly about to explode.

"By the Wolf-God!"

Abaddon roared in horror:

"What does Ma Genusi want to do?!"

"Has he forgotten that we are also nearby?! Does he want to blow us all up together?!"

Hey! Isn't that Horus's *Vengeful Spirit*? Why is Abaddon here too?

Ma Genusi looked at the *Vengeful Spirit* in the distance and thought blankly.

He might be able to use divination and prophecy to judge what Abaddon was doing near his flagship.

Divination, divination...

What divination arts did he know? What method was better to use for prophecy in this situation?

Hua Hua Hua Di Huang's Tarot? Numerology?

After thinking for a moment, Ma Genusi discovered with a dullness that he seemed to have forgotten how to use most divination arts.

In his mind, only the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang's Tarot and Numerology, the two pieces of knowledge related to divination and prophecy, remained.

Hey!

Suddenly, Ma Genusi keenly sensed that the psychic concentration in the surrounding air was rising sharply.

The pupil of his single eye shrank slightly, and he suddenly discovered that his flagship, the *Revenge of Tizca*, was about to explode.

Someone had ignited the arcane focal points that served as the energy for this void ship!

Ma Genusi was shocked. Someone could actually bypass the rituals, incantations, and sorcery he had laid out and forcibly tamper with the several arcane cores he had set up himself?!

And all this happened without Ma Genusi knowing, completely without triggering the alert spells Ma Genusi had set up, almost as if Ma Genusi had ignited his own flagship himself!

"Wanting to use the explosion of my own flagship to kill me is indeed feasible!"

"But wanting to use the explosion of the flagship to kill me is a bit wishful thinking!"

Ma Genusi growled toward the enemy hiding somewhere unknown.

The explosion of the *Revenge of Tizca* could indeed stir up a strong Warp energy shock, but just relying on this to kill him, to kill the dignified Sorcerer King, the Crimson King Ma Genusi, was a bit too small-minded of him, right?

He only needed one teleportation spell to escape to a safe range————

Hey!

Ma Genusi slapped his head and fell into thought and confusion again.

How was the teleportation spell used again?

He began to search for knowledge in his head, but there were more and more voids in his head. As long as he fell into thought, he would see a vast white expanse, making him more and more anxious.

Ma Genusi couldn't help but start scratching his ears and cheeks. His scarlet giant claws scratched his forehead, then scratched his hair, and finally scratched the two sharp horns on top of his head.

Hey!

Ma Genusi rubbed the horns on his head in confusion, seemingly puzzled as to how he, as a human, could grow such large horns?

He should be a human, at least Ma Genusi found knowledge about "he is a human" from his shattered knowledge system.

"Then why is my head pointy?"

"When did this horn grow out?"

"No, what am I standing here for?"

"Oh! I have to hurry and warn Father, Horus has been corrupted by Chaos, he is going to rebel!"
