Chapter 664: Saint Doraemon's Domain

~7 min read 1,372 words

Sanguinius had never entered the Warp so lightly.

This sea of souls reflecting the material world was always filled with malice, extreme emotions, and twisted impulses, attempting to tear Sanguinius apart, devour Sanguinius, and twist Sanguinius.

But this time, Sanguinius's process of stepping into the Warp was so smooth and successful; the surrounding Warp showed clear goodwill toward him, welcoming him into that domain within the highest heaven.

Sanguinius's golden metal boots stepped onto the asphalt road, emitting a crisp sound.

Then...

*BEEP!!!! *

Sharp horn sounds suddenly rang out around Sanguinius.

Sanguinius opened his eyes with some confusion and looked around, only to see that he was standing in the center of an intersection.

There were many primitive vehicles around, frantically honking their horns at Sanguinius.

A car window rolled down, and an empty can was thrown out of the window, smashing toward Sanguinius.

Following it was a series of curses:

"Wolf-born foreigner!"

"In a hurry to die?! Standing in the middle of the road!"

"If you want to be smashed into meat paste, I'll help you!"

It didn't seem so full of goodwill after all.

Sanguinius reached out his hand, caught the can thrown at him, and cautiously observed the situation around him.

The vehicles looked relatively primitive, about the setting of the early third millennium of humanity; if more precise... it was a design from the end of the 20th century.

The architectural style of the nearby buildings also verified Sanguinius's guess; most of the houses were not tall, looking like they were in a town, but looking into the distance, one could also see some taller buildings.

It looked like this should be a small town within a large city.

Sanguinius's gaze continued to capture information from the surroundings; he noticed that the text on the surrounding walls was the text of the Nipponese region on Old Terra.

But these were all appearances. Sanguinius's eyes swept over the crowd around him.

They appeared to be human, but their inner selves were entirely of the Warp; they were a kind of daemon, an extension and fragment of the consciousness of the master of this domain.

It was just that they themselves didn't seem to notice.

"Hey, foreigner, where are you from? What's your name? Why did you come to our Tsukimidai?" A policeman in a black uniform asked while directing traffic, bringing Sanguinius out of the intersection.

"I am Sanguinius from Baal." Sanguinius said with a clear voice: "I came here to find a friend of mine; his name is Doraemon."

"Baal... Baal, oh, I remember now. The chicken sauce from your country is very fragrant." The policeman said, clapping one fist into the other hand.

Sanguinius's expression changed without a trace.

But he still said in a gentle tone: "But I forgot how to get to Doraemon's house. Can you point the way for me?"

"Doraemon?" The policeman pinched his chin and pondered for a while: "Oh, it's that child from the Nobi family, right."

"The Nobi family... you start from this intersection, go east all the way, cross the bridge over the Tanagawa River, and then you will see an open space piled with cement pipes."

"There is an old-fashioned house next to the open space; that is the Kami-nari house. You turn south from the Kami-nari family's door, and at the next intersection, go east, and you will see the Nobi family's house."

Sanguinius smiled, thanked the policeman, and walked in the direction the policeman pointed.

That policeman scratched his head and looked at Sanguinius's departing back.

"Why do I always feel like this foreigner is a bit familiar..."

"... Hey! Is he the spokesperson for Horus-brand hand-beaten chicken sauce?"

Walking east along the road, Sanguinius soon saw the Tanagawa River the policeman mentioned.

It was a fairly spacious river, and many fish could be seen swimming in the clear river.

Sanguinius stood on the bridge, gazing at the seemingly calm river surface.

The river water reflected in his eyes, but it turned into a surging Warp torrent, and the fish in it turned into individual flickering soul fires, floating and drifting in the Warp...

This Tanagawa River was clearly a projection of the Warp itself in this domain.

Sanguinius only stayed here for a moment; after crossing the bridge and walking east all the way, he soon saw the so-called open space and the Kami-nari house.

The open space looked like a truly ordinary open space, with three thick cement pipes stacked on it, not knowing what they were for.

Sanguinius's gaze lingered on it for a moment, and he felt the laughter of children coming to his ears, seeing individual figures playing baseball, soccer, flying kites, playing with toys, and even holding concerts on it, full of innocent joy.

But the essence of this open space was... the part Zhou Yun tore off from Slaanesh's domain not long ago, which he integrated into his own domain, turning it into this open space.

And the Kami-nari house next to it also gave Sanguinius a similar feeling.

This quaint mansion was composed of dark wood; looking from a distance, it looked like a brown night mountain, and looking closer, one could see the windows of this mansion broken, as if smashed by baseballs by the children playing around. Looking in through the holes in the windows, one could only see a pitch-black area, unable to see anything clearly.

And in the courtyard scattered with glass, a large number of potted plants were placed, each of which was clearly carefully cultivated, emitting vigorous vitality.

Did Zhou Yun and Nurgle exchange parts of their domains?

Sanguinius perceived the aura emanating from the Kami-nari house, feeling Nurgle's power flowing within it.

But this power was different from Nurgle's slow, decaying, and silent feeling; it was more irritable and impulsive, clearly a side of Nurgle's domain that Nurgle stuffed into Zhou Yun's domain.

Sanguinius had actually never understood why Nurgle would be so inclined toward Zhou Yun, and why Zhou Yun would think Nurgle was a reliable ally.

At least in Sanguinius's view, the gods themselves were not very trustworthy.

Could it really be that the glorious, eternal 22nd century Zhou Yun promised attracted Nurgle?

But... although the 22nd century Zhou Yun wanted was eternal, it was not necessarily decaying or stagnant. Could it really satisfy Nurgle?

Although he felt puzzled, since Zhou Yun did not explain it to Sanguinius, Sanguinius would not ask.

Some things, saying them out loud or even just asking them, would cause ripples in fate, making everything different.

Sanguinius knew this; his understanding of the future and prophecy was almost the deepest among all the Primarchs.

The Archangel continued to walk along the street and soon walked to a two-story house along the street.

On the wall of this house's courtyard, a sign was hanging, on which the three characters "Nobi Family" were written.

Sanguinius stepped forward and knocked gently on the door.

"Dora-chan!"

"A friend of yours is here to see you!"

The mistress of the Nobi house shouted toward the second floor, signaling to Sanguinius that Doraemon was on the second floor.

Sanguinius smiled and expressed his gratitude to the bespectacled mistress, then stepped on the somewhat narrow stairs, climbed to the second floor, pushed open the door, and entered this room of about ten square meters.

On the left side of the room was a bookshelf with some books on it. Sanguinius glanced at it.

He found that they were all strange books like "The Overbearing Warmaster Fell in Love with the Menopausal Me," "Why Be an Astartes Without Money," "Purple-Eyed Noble," "Fishing for Plague Zombies," "Hiding in Tzeentch's Palace as a Talent," "Immortality Starting from Offering Skulls to the Blood God," and so on.

Directly in front of the room was a window, and in front of the window was a desk with a drawer. Sanguinius's gaze lingered on the drawer on the desk for a moment, then looked toward the center of the room.

In the center of the room was a floor mat, and a boy with a crew cut was curled up in the quilt, sleeping soundly. Sanguinius entering the room did not disturb his sleep. ===== CHAPTER 665 =====
