Chapter 436: Soul Returning to the Golden Throne

"Secondly, even if my psychic powers could be used, I cannot use them."

Malcador said this, finding a clean spot to sit down.

"I'm old, I can't stand for long."

Ye Cang:...

This joke of his was not funny at all.

Malcador is the second Perpetual besides the big golden guy.

A Perpetual!

It is no exaggeration to say that age has absolutely no meaning to him.

And yet he says he is old now... and can't stand...

So, this is not a very funny joke.

After hearing this, Ye Cang wore an awkward but polite smile.

"Why?"

"Why do you have no psychic powers? Why can't you use them even if you had them?"

"For the sake of this world," Malcador said.

"For the sake of this world?" Ye Cang was puzzled.

"What do you mean by that?"

He couldn't quite figure it out; what necessary connection did psychic powers have with this world?

First of all, this world has no Warp, so using psychic powers shouldn't be that dangerous.

Not to mention it being Malcador.

Or, could using psychic powers cause this world to give birth to a Warp?

Ah... if only one person uses psychic powers, even if a Warp appeared, I'm afraid it wouldn't amount to much.

Besides, if there really were a Warp, Karl would be the first to rush in and see what's going on.

Once he studied it thoroughly, he would collect it for himself.

Don't doubt Karl; he doesn't just talk hot air, he is just too low-key, and he only has the Void on his mind.

Looking at the puzzled Ye Cang, Malcador patted the empty seat beside him.

Ye Cang understood that he was being asked to go over and sit.

So he sat down beside Malcador.

By the way, he handed Malcador a cup of water.

Where this water came from, it goes without saying.

Taking the water Ye Cang handed him, Malcador took a sip.

"This is not the power of psychic energy."

"This kind of power is beyond my understanding."

"Alright, let's get back to the point."

Malcador placed the cup beside him.

"I will answer your first question first: why I cannot use my psychic powers. Because there is no psychic energy in this world, and the concept of a Warp does not exist, so I cannot use them."

"Secondly, why I would not use them even if I had psychic powers."

"If I were to use psychic powers and forcibly leave this Universe, then this Universe would develop cracks."

"Although the cracks can repair themselves, the integrity of the Universe has already been damaged; even if repaired perfectly, it will eventually attract certain unspeakable things."

"For example, um... in your words, the Four Ruinous Powers."

After saying this, Malcador stopped speaking.

Ye Cang began to digest this information.

A moment later, Ye Cang had digested it enough, so he asked Malcador.

"So, you are trapped in this Universe and cannot leave?"

"More or less," Malcador nodded. "I cannot destroy other Universes for my own selfish desires."

"Besides, the threat your Universe faces is no less than that of the Empire."

At this moment, Ye Cang fell into deep thought.

So the question is, what is Malcador's purpose in coming to find him today?

It couldn't just be for a simple chat, could it?

Also, how did he know that he had appeared here?

And that he knew this Universe was facing the threat of the Void.

Tsk... there are quite a few secrets here.

After thinking for a long time, Ye Cang still couldn't come to any conclusion.

After all, as the Chancellor of the Empire, Malcador has lived for 6,700 years, and these 6,700 years were not as easy as Kaisha's years.

So, it is better to lay some things out directly.

"So what is your purpose in coming to find me?" Ye Cang asked Malcador straightforwardly.

"I do not believe that your appearance here and meeting me is a coincidence, and I believe even less that you are here just to chat with me."

"State your purpose, Malcador."

"I don't have time to continue chatting with you; the Star Gate is about to open, and Huaxia's... in your words, the people of Taila are about to arrive."

"Do not waste any more time."

Seeing Ye Cang lay his cards on the table, Malcador also put away his smile.

"My purpose?"

"My purpose is very simple, there is only one: you kill me, it must be you who kills me."

Ye Cang:?!

Did he mishear something?

Malcador said, let him kill him?

Why?

Malcador looked at the silent Ye Cang and pulled a wooden box from his bosom.

On this wooden box, there was the emblem of the Imperial Double-headed Eagle.

Malcador slowly opened the wooden box.

He took out a deck of cards from it.

"This is the Emperor Tarot Card, I believe you should also know its use."

"This is what psychics use when divining."

As he spoke, Malcador arranged the Emperor Tarot Card in a specific pattern.

He then picked up one card from it.

"Although there is no psychic power or Warp in this world, one can still use the Emperor Tarot to perform divination."

"I have performed countless divinations, and the results of the divinations have all been very accurate."

Looking at the Emperor Tarot Card, Ye Cang slowly picked up one and examined it carefully.

Hmm...

It was just a card made of ordinary paper, with nothing special about it.

Malcador continued, "I said, I don't even know how I came here myself; this is not my destiny."

"I believe you are very clear about the destiny that belongs to me."

"So I must go back."

"And I cannot destroy this Universe."

"I used the Emperor Tarot Card and obtained the answer to how to go back, and that is you."

"You use the ability that belongs uniquely to you to kill me, and I will be able to return to my world."

Ye Cang narrowed his eyes; he dared not believe everything Malcador said.

After all, Malcador's 6,700 years were all spent on scheming.

In other words, this old man was full of tricks; if one wasn't careful, it was very likely they would become his pawn and be played by him.

"Why should I believe you?"

"Although you, Malcador, are a hero of the Empire, that is limited only to the Emperor; I am not the Emperor, and I have almost no trust in you."

Regarding Ye Cang's disbelief, Malcador was very calm.

"Indeed, you have no reason to believe me."

"But there is one point you must believe: the invasion of any world by the Evil God of the Warp is not something I want to see."

"They are things that should not exist in the first place; until the moment I died, the Emperor was fighting to break free from the influence of the Warp."

"As the Emperor's closest friend, I am naturally on the same front as the Emperor!"

"So, if you really kill me, it will have no impact on either of us."

"It would be nothing more than the guidance of the Emperor Tarot Card being wrong; if I die, I will truly be dead and unable to return to my world, and you will have merely killed a useless old man."
