Chapter 437: Emperor Tarot Card

The current situation is truly exactly as Malcador said.

It is nothing more than him successfully returning or him truly dying.

Neither of these has any impact on me.

As long as it does not endanger the current Universe, there is no problem.

I already have enough enemies, I cannot have any more; even if there were one more, it cannot be an old fox like Malcador.

"Fine, I have to say, you win," Ye Cang sighed lightly.

"However, I have a small question. As far as I know, the Emperor Tarot Card is composed of 78 psychically active liquid crystal thin sheets, connected to the Emperor's mind in the Warp."

"And only specialized psykers can interpret them; otherwise..."

Speaking to this point, Ye Cang picked up a paper Emperor Tarot Card.

"It has no reference value."

"And these Emperor Tarot Cards in your hand are just ordinary paper products. Are you sure these paper products can perform accurate divination?"

"Not to mention you don't even have psychic powers."

"If it happens to be wrong, then that would be..."

Malcador took the paper Emperor Tarot Card from Ye Cang's hand.

"What you said is indeed correct."

"But I am Malcador; that reason alone is enough."

As soon as these words were spoken.

Ye Cang immediately became interested.

"Oh?"

"Saying it like that, I don't really believe it. Why don't you perform a divination for me?"

"Let me witness the Emperor Tarot Card."

"Or rather, let me witness the Sigillite Malcador!"

Regarding Ye Cang's request for a divination, Malcador agreed without the slightest hesitation.

"Very well."

After speaking, Malcador laid out the 78 Emperor Tarot Cards and then flipped one over.

To his surprise, this Emperor Tarot Card displayed an Ouroboros pattern situated in the darkness.

The pattern of this Ouroboros was clearly hand-drawn, yet it looked vivid and lifelike, as if it were about to come alive.

What Ye Cang could not understand was that this Ouroboros was not black, but golden.

A golden Ouroboros.

This was the first time he had ever seen one; it was truly...

(I couldn't find the specific rules for the Emperor Tarot Card, so I just made some up.)

The next second.

Ye Cang suddenly thought of something, which was that among these 78 Emperor Tarot Cards, there was no Ouroboros pattern at all.

But why...

Before Ye Cang could think too much, Malcador picked up the golden Ouroboros and examined it carefully.

"Hmm, what a unique card."

"It is my first time seeing one too. I think if you were to meet the Emperor, you two would definitely have things to talk about, or perhaps become close friends."

Ye Cang ignored Malcador's words entirely.

Sorry, he did not want to meet the Emperor, and even less did he want to become his close friend.

If he were to meet the Emperor, it would mean he would have to go to the Warhammer world.

In other words, it would mean meeting the Four Ruinous Powers.

Eww~ (disgusted face).

Also, is the Empire so short of people? They are even recruiting all the way to him!

"Hehe!"

Ye Cang wore an awkward yet polite smile.

"So can you tell me what this golden Ouroboros means?" Ye Cang looked at Malcador.

Malcador did not speak and flipped over the next card.

This card actually showed Ye Cang himself, and it was him wearing golden Power Armor and holding the "Xuanyuan Sword" high; looking closely, he even had his eyes closed.

This made Ye Cang, who was already puzzled, become even more confused.

You Emperor Tarot Card, shouldn't the Emperor appear?

Why did he appear?

He is not the Emperor; this is truly inexplicable!

He had thought Malcador would continue to flip a third card.

Instead, Malcador shuffled all the Emperor Tarot Cards back together and finally put them back into the wooden box.

"What does this mean?" Ye Cang frowned and said.

While tucking the wooden box back into his robes, Malcador said: "It means the divination for you ends here."

"And I cannot say much about the result. The Emperor Tarot Card tells me that if I were to reveal the result of my divination for you, it would be a huge disaster."

"So I am sorry, I cannot say."

Ye Cang:...

So, was he played by Malcador, or did he just have a divination that amounted to nothing?

However, these things are not important.

The only reason he had Malcador perform a divination for him was simply out of curiosity.

Whether there is a result or not is unimportant.

It's just... that speaking only half of what one has to say is truly annoying.

Putting away the wooden box containing the Emperor Tarot Card, Malcador straightened his black robe and gripped his wooden... staff?

"Ye Cang, I am ready."

"Send me on my way."

Withdrawing his wandering thoughts, he looked at Malcador standing there.

Ye Cang did not say much, only slowly nodding his head.

Then, he opened his hand toward Malcador and activated Quantum Control with all his might.

In an instant!

Malcador, who had been standing there, vanished.

However, the next second, a clatter rang out.

Ye Cang looked over.

He saw that it was the wooden box containing the Emperor Tarot Card that had fallen to the ground.

This surprised Ye Cang somewhat.

He had used Quantum Control at full power; nothing should have been able to remain behind.

Yet, this wooden box...

After a moment of hesitation, Ye Cang used his Lightning Claw to hook the wooden box, then used the Xuanyuan Sword to gently cut it open.

Immediately, he saw that inside the wooden box, there was one Emperor Tarot Card.

Ye Cang did not quite understand.

Why were 77 of the 78 Emperor Tarot Cards disintegrated, leaving only this one behind?

He reached out and picked up that tarot card.

He saw that the tarot card was completely blank, with nothing on it.

This left Ye Cang feeling somewhat puzzled.

What does this mean? Why would two blank Emperor Tarot Cards be left behind? Could this be a metaphor for something?

It is a pity that he is not a diviner and does not understand what this signifies.

He put away the blank Emperor Tarot Card and looked at the empty space before him.

Ye Cang shook his head.

He did not quite know what to say.

He only knew that today had been somewhat surreal.

Even Malcador had actually appeared.

Exhaling a soft breath, Ye Cang turned his head to look at the Star Gate behind him.

At this moment, the Star Gate was already glowing with a faint Blue Light Energy Shield, proving that it had already connected to Earth.

About two or three minutes later, an old man wearing Power Armor walked out from it.

"Little Cang, your speed in establishing diplomatic relations is truly too fast."

"It has only been a few days, and you have already taken another planet."

"I haven't even finished dealing with the Lion God Empire yet; that place is truly a mess."

"This place wouldn't be a mess as well, would it?"

As he spoke, the old man took off his helmet.

A look of concern also appeared on his face.

Ye Cang smiled.

"No, this place is not a mess, it is just a little bit troublesome."
