Chapter 485: Even Li Man??

Did Hua Di Huang and the Aeldari Old Seer travel to Commorragh not to acquire Aeldari technology for the Great Crusade?

Could it be that Eidolon's answer was incomplete? That Hua Di Huang's journey to Commorragh was not solely to acquire Aeldari technology for the Great Crusade?

Eidolon lowered his head, pondering for a moment, feeling this might be the greatest possibility.

Hua Di Huang is a master of schemes, sinister and cunning, despicable and shameless, ambitious, utterly inhuman, a veritable beast.

He excels at calculation; long before the Great Crusade began, he left behind numerous contingency plans to prevent many possible situations.

For instance, the Enemy Blade and the Ritual Daggers: Eidolon once believed the appearance of this artifact was a coincidence and his own sudden inspiration, only to later learn it was also one of Hua Di Huang's past contingency plans. Eidolon personally shattered the Enemy Blade, forging eight Ritual Daggers, one of which ultimately became the weapon Hua Di Huang used to kill Horus.

Perhaps visiting Commorragh alongside the Aeldari Old Seer was also one of Hua Di Huang's contingency plans! It was the Aeldari Old Seer who dug up the Eldar Craftworld graves, stole all the crystallized corpses of ancient Aeldari seers, and used these things to awaken the Aeldari God of Death, Ynnead.

Ynnead later, under Xi Xi Xi Gaoqi's plotting, became bait for Saint Doraemon, helping Saint Doraemon truly occupy a small portion of the position of the Eroding Destruction, capable of helping Hua Di Huang share part of the pressure of godhood, hehe. Remember, an avatar of the God of Laughter also exists within Commorragh.

A grand ten-thousand-year chess game suddenly sprang to Eidolon's mind: Hua Di Huang, the Aeldari Old Seer, and the God of Laughter plotting to use Ynnead as bait, pushing Saint Doraemon to occupy part of the Eroding Destruction's position, thereby sharing the pressure for Hua Di Huang.

Hua Di Huang is truly cunning and full of schemes.

Eidolon calmed himself and spoke his speculation as the answer.

Then, a thousand heavy and coarse, electrified needles pierced into Eidolon's body. Blood flowed out in streams. For a moment, the pain made Eidolon's head spin and dizzy, making it difficult to control his body, causing him to fall directly onto the ground.

Eidolon spat out a mouthful of blood, looking at the lock before him with resentment.

Indeed, Hua Di Huang's calculations go beyond this; he is truly a beast. I do not know what else he has calculated!!

Eidolon merely suspected Hua Di Huang had more calculations; as for Hua Di Huang going to Commorragh simply for pleasure and enjoyment, Eidolon had not even considered such a possibility.

Although Eidolon had slandered Hua Di Huang to the utmost extent, precisely because he was the one slandering Hua Di Huang, he knew best what kind of person Hua Di Huang was.

Hua Di Huang had no impulse for such enjoyment; he did not crave rest, nor did he possess the various desires a human should have. He did not rejoice in slaughter, nor find joy in seeking knowledge, nor delight in salvation, nor feel exultation in honor. He did not even crave godhood.

Throughout the entire Great Crusade and the Great Heresy, Hua Di Huang never craved a single moment of enjoyment or desire; he had only one impulse: to save humanity, cold as a Iron Man following a fixed program.

But Eidolon did not persist with this lock; after all, the injury from the third failed attempt could not be healed by ordinary means. Of course, Eidolon also had ways to heal, and even if the fourth punishment was certain death, Eidolon was confident he could endure it. It's just... Eidolon sensed the Nine Birds granted by Tzeentch dwelling within his body and felt it was not yet the time to waste them.

He acted decisively, switching directly to the next lock, the thirteenth lock.

A light screen popped out from the lock, transmitting a low, hoarse voice:

"He possesses a simple beauty, now almost delightful. When facing an unforgettable enemy, the Emperor will send him. He is not always right, but he firmly believes he is right; at least this makes the future path clear."

"He possesses a calculated rage capable of destroying everything, yet he strictly controls it, releasing it only when permitted. Every action of his has a purpose: to defeat his enemies as efficiently as possible."

"When I see him, I feel comfort and joy."

"Please answer: Which Primarch did Lion El'Jonson evaluate with the above words?"

Eidolon's spirit was instantly lifted, for he saw hope of successfully answering this question.

First, this is Lion evaluating a Primarch. Hmm, all are praises, so all traitor Primarchs and Li Man can be excluded.

Simple beauty, controllable rage, seeing him brings Lion comfort and joy; basically, Guilliman can also be excluded. When facing an unforgettable enemy, the Emperor sends him; he always firmly believes he is right and is good at defeating enemies efficiently. Ferrus Ma Nusi, Sanguinius, and Dorn all fit quite well.

But Ferrus Ma Nusi and Lion were not too familiar, and Ferrus Ma Nusi died relatively early during the Great Heresy; "comfort and joy" should not apply.

Considering everything, Eidolon believed that while Sanguinius was beautiful, it did not quite fit "simple," and Dorn was better at defense rather than efficiently eliminating enemies.

"Sanguinius," Eidolon answered tentatively.

An unbearable sensation of drowning overflowed from Eidolon's lungs, extremely painful and uncomfortable. He coughed up several mouthfuls of water violently, nearly choking himself into unconsciousness.

Incorrect? Then is it Dorn?

"Dorn."

Still incorrect. A liquid mixed with intense spiciness flooded into Eidolon's three lungs, burning Eidolon fiercely, nearly causing him to faint.

Incorrect. Why is everything incorrect?!

Eidolon began to think: who else could it be? Corax? Jaghatai Khan? Vulkan?

But these also seemed not quite right...

"It can't be Li Man, can it?!" Perhaps driven to the extreme by anger, perhaps the pain had clouded his mind, Eidolon spoke without restraint, saying resentfully.

Then he immediately showed a terrified expression, dodging in fear, fearing punishment, but no reaction came; no pain surged through his body...

"Answer Correct!!!"

The door lock vanished with a "Boom," and the door before Eidolon opened accordingly.

It was actually Li Man?! Even Li Man?!

Eidolon's expression went blank, unable to believe it, but he had no mind to delve deeper into this.

The door was open, but revealed behind it was a hazy light screen, seemingly some kind of teleportation gate, rather than the place this door was originally meant to lead to.

Eidolon hesitated for a moment, slightly extending his leg. The shadow coiled beside him moved accordingly, entering the teleportation gate with him.

In the blink of an eye, Eidolon found himself standing in a corridor of the Blessed Lady.

The corridor was piled with the corpses of dead Word Bearers; they were all clutching their heads, as if they had heard something terrible before dying...

Eidolon saw a broad, sturdy figure. That person turned his head, saw Eidolon, and a rough smile appeared on that muscular round face, and then...

"I am Fat Tiger!!! I am the King of Kids~"

"Invincible under heaven!!! A manly man~"
