Chapter 480

~6 min read 1,166 words

The rejection from the Primarch made Erebus's body stiffen slightly. He had never quite understood why Lorgar had maintained a certain alienation, exclusion, and dislike for him after a certain time during the Great Heresy.

Now that Erebus was in a life-and-death situation and was in need of the Primarch's protection, Lorgar actually expressed his disgust so explicitly, as if he were happy to see Erebus's death.

This made Erebus feel extremely puzzled. Although it sounded bizarre, Lorgar was actually a good-tempered Primarch. Before that shadow appeared in the Eye of Terror, he would often respond to the prayers of the Word Bearers during life-and-death periods, even those marginal Word Bearers who were not very important.

But he was biased against Erebus. Erebus was clearly the most outstanding Word Bearer; it was truly puzzling.

Just like Erebus had never understood how Khârn knew that he was the murderer who killed Argel Tal.

You must know that Erebus was acting in secret at the time, and very few people knew the answer to this question. Erebus hadn't understood it for ten thousand years.

"I don't think Lorgar will help Erebus."

On the bridge of the Lord of Light,

Facing Titus's speculation that Erebus might request help from his gene-father Lorgar, Khârn raised an objection.

In fact, Khârn recognized Titus's guess; Erebus did have the possibility of asking Lorgar for help.

He, Lorgar, would probably not help Erebus.

"Ten thousand years ago, it was Lorgar who told me that the murderer who killed Argel Tal was Erebus."

"There might be some contradiction between the two."

Khârn still remembered the situation at the time, remembering what happened in the narrow meditation room belonging to Lorgar on the Trisagion.

Khârn had originally come to question Lorgar about Angron's ascension to demonhood. He didn't get the answer about this, but he got the answer about the death of Argel Tal.

"Khârn," Lorgar called out to Khârn, who wanted to turn and leave at the time.

Khârn turned his head and saw Lorgar finally willing to raise his head from the parchment and look at Khârn.

What shocked Khârn was that he saw coldness, pain, and sadness in Lorgar's eyes, as well as a noble and restrained anger.

Just that one look made Khârn freeze in place, just opening his mouth to ask: "My Lord?"

"Do you want to know..." Lorgar said softly: "Who killed Argel Tal?"

Khârn got the answer to this question from Lorgar's mouth and knew who the spearhead of hatred should be pointed at.

"I don't know why Lorgar wanted to tell me Erebus's actions."

"Perhaps there was some contradiction between them, some power struggle, but I didn't delve into it at the time."

Khârn's words made Zhou Yun feel a bit slightly speechless.

In Zhou Yun's view, the reason why Lorgar hated and loathed Erebus was right in front of him, but Khârn hadn't realized it.

"It's because of Argel Tal," Zhou Yun looked at Khârn and explained: "Argel Tal was the Blessed Son, the typical example of perfect fusion with demons, and the perfect posture of humanity, the Warp, and demons coexisting in Lorgar's heart."

"So Argel Tal was the collection of Lorgar's ideals and also the son Lorgar loved the most."

"But Erebus killed him. Lorgar would naturally be angry and loathe Erebus."

"But he was ultimately Lorgar, unable to disobey the will of the Chaos gods. And Erebus had other uses in the gods' arrangements, so Lorgar couldn't personally take revenge for Argel Tal, so he revealed all this to Khârn, hoping to replace him in taking revenge on Erebus."

Khârn was silent for a moment, thinking of the anger hidden in the depths of Lorgar's soul that was almost not revealed at the time, and felt it was reasonable.

Listening to Zhou Yun's words, everyone else present was slightly stunned. What kind of person was that Argel Tal, who not only made Khârn miss him for ten thousand years, but even made Lorgar secretly disobey the gods' will and let Khârn kill Erebus?

"He was just an idiot," Raum, who was parasitizing Khârn, seemed to feel the thoughts in everyone's hearts and crawled out of Khârn, saying with resentment: "I advised him to kill Erebus long ago, but he didn't listen to my advice."

Although Raum was complaining, everyone present could hear his feelings for Argel Tal and his hatred for Erebus.

Could it be that Argel Tal was actually a Slaanesh Chosen? A Chaos Great Succubus? A thought suddenly popped into everyone's minds.

"We listened to your advice this time," Zhou Yun said to Raum.

Then he took two bottles of black potion from his four-dimensional pocket and handed them to Khârn and Raum, signaling Khârn and Raum to drink one bottle each.

"You can drink it now," Zhou Yun said.

Khârn and Raum didn't hesitate, picked up the potion, and drank it into their mouths.

Then the man and the demon felt it for a while, but didn't notice any changes in themselves.

"It won't act on you, but on Erebus."

Zhou Yun had been flipping through the product catalog of the Future Department Store for the past few days.

The last operation on the Conqueror had seen all the cards in Erebus's hand.

Zhou Yun only needed to choose the right props according to Erebus's trump cards.

Those two bottles of potion that Khârn and Raum drank were one of the links.

Zhou Yun opened his mouth slightly, wanting to give the two a simple explanation of the use of the two bottles of potion.

But just as he wanted to speak, he suddenly felt a bit of strangeness, paused for a moment, then turned his head to look at the Nobita Hua Hua Hua Di Huang standing beside him.

Zhou Yun's eyes moved slightly, and after turning his head, he quickly told the action plan formulated by him, Guilliman, and Sanguinius in the three-person small meeting to Khârn, Titus, Sharrowkyn, and others.

Then, he and the Nobita Hua Hua Hua Di Huang returned to Zhou Yun's own room.

Zhou Yun looked at the Nobita Hua Hua Hua Di Huang.

When the meeting was going on, the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang's will suddenly surged into Nobita's body, seemingly having something to tell Zhou Yun.

The Nobita Hua Hua Hua Di Huang's black pupils flashed with a faint golden luster.

"After knowing that the Avenger is Khârn, the Penitent is Luther, and the Jealous is Be'lakor, the fate of the galaxy has become clear and determined in my eyes."

"I saw that in the near future, the timeline of the galaxy has become chaotic, and the past and the future are connected together."

The timeline of the galaxy has become chaotic?

This made Zhou Yun raise his eyebrows slightly, feeling a bit curious.

"Ouroboros, Tuchulcha Engine, Plague Heart."

The Nobita Hua Hua Hua Di Huang said softly:

"Do you know the existence of these three ancient artifacts?"
