Chapter 204: How Did You Come Back?!
"You and Limanlus come back with me."
"With me watching, I can guarantee that you two return to the Terra Imperial Palace and explain the matter clearly before the Emperor."
Watching Magnus arrange the teleportation array with a terrified expression, Xisi both signals Wanfulian to end the 'Physics Lesson' and casually speaks to Magnus.
But the terror on Magnus and his companions' faces becomes even more evident against Xisi's completely calm expression.
As the saying goes, outsiders watch the spectacle while insiders see the underlying principles.
Yet Xisi, with a flat expression, says he can teleport directly from Prospero back to Terra using the array.
Magnus and the Thousand-Child Wizards, who fully understand what this implies, immediately react just as they did when the Whisperer first met Xisi.
"This level of spiritual energy..."
"Where does any trace of mortal appearance remain?!"
Now, hearing that Xisi can not only return himself but also bring two Original Bodies along, Magnus and the Thousand-Child Wizards, who thought they already grasped the extent of Xisi's exaggerated spiritual power, naturally display an even more obvious terror on their faces.
Meanwhile, Limanlus, who finally finished the Physics Lesson, is thoroughly bound by Wanfulian's men, and while he glares at Xisi in fury, he again attempts to break the restraints, resolutely carrying out the Emperor's will.
Wuwuwu!
Listening to Limanlus's muffled roar, Xisi and Magnus can't help but glance at each other.
But given what happened earlier, Xisi and Magnus both immediately abandon any thought of reasoning with the Wolf King.
Both of them bury themselves in their own matters.
Magnus speeds up the construction of the array, and on several of the array's nodes, the most powerful Thousand-Child Wizards have already taken positions.
However, unlike before, this time the array has several times more nodes, and while many Thousand-Child spiritualists have perished, more than half of the nodes have been taken over by the Whisperer's wizards.
At this moment, the Whisperer and the Thousand-Child Wizards are quickly taking their positions, silently awaiting the array's completion.
During the wait, the Thousand-Child Wizards watch the Whisperer's wizards, who fully understand what this array signifies, and they continuously offer fervent worship to Xisi.
Even during this waiting period, a few wizards standing together, while the Whisperer finds time amidst the busyness to spread the faith to the Thousand-Child Wizards.
"Brother, do you have time? Are you willing to listen to our Lord's holy words?"
A bewildered Thousand-Child Wizard looks at the kindly Whisperer before him, and at the heavy Holy Scripture he holds in his left hand.
Although they wish to politely decline, seeing the Whisperer's right hand resting directly on the grip of an Explosive Gun makes the Thousand-Child Wizards swallow their saliva, sigh helplessly, and tacitly consent.
Setting aside other matters, the Whisperer's method of preaching—Holy Scripture in the left hand and Explosive Gun in the right—has no one who, having believed Xisi, would say it's ineffective!
Then, under Luo Jia's direct command, the Whisperer controls the entire scene and begins an addictive preaching, and Magnus's array finally completes.
Xisi pulls his gaze away from the wolf pack, whose faces are flushed with anger, and from the Whisperer, who after a half day's verbal sparring wishes he could preach using a second method.
Then the Whisperer makes clear that Xisi has ordered that the attack on the wolf pack must not continue; begrudgingly, he folds the Holy Scripture, faces the wolf pack with a barbaric grin, and sneers out two words:
"Physics"~
The wolf pack's raging howls rise and fall intermittently under the Whisperer's sneer.
Thus, when Xisi returns to 40k, he discovers that the wolf pack, at some point, has added an extra prohibition to the already numerous legion taboos.
From now on, anyone who dares to mention the word 'Physics' in front of the wolf pack will be pursued by the pack without end!
Even within the straightforward wolf pack, they have, learning from the Dark Angel, created a legion secret.
Just like the 'Second Empire', anyone who knows the phrase 'wolf pack physics' will be hunted by the wolf pack!
However, Xisi naturally doesn't know these later developments yet, and truly has no time to learn about them.
He simply brings Limanlus to the center of the array and stands together with Magnus.
Outside the array, the Thousand-Child Wizards and the Whisperer's wizards finally quiet down; the Thousand-Child Wizards, with faces full of terror, breathe a huge sigh as the Whisperer finally settles.
And on the outermost side, Luo Jia, Fanluosi, Bai'er, Xiulun and others stand silently.
"The Thousand-Child Wizards will cooperate with the Whisperer, and with Prospero's mortal support troops, as well as the mortal legion I previously recruited, there should be enough forces for you to fully control the wolf pack."
"I, Magnus, and Limanlus will first go to Terra; you will then follow Aolake's Star Torch, leading the main army in relief."
Xisi issues rapid orders; the spacetime repulsion grants him no extra time to linger.
Upon hearing this, Luo Jia, indifferent to the Wolf King's and Magnus's shocked gazes, kneels on one knee before Xisi in public.
Luo Jia bends his knee, and under the glow of Magnus's activated array, looks earnestly at Xisi:
"My lord, we shall meet in Terra."
The light drowns out Luo Jia's final words.
Distant Terra.
The fleet in orbit is thin and scattered; countless victories arriving from across the galaxy, along with War General Helusu's military maneuvers, plunge Terra into a peculiar tranquility.
Only the slowly drifting Mountain Formation ship, and the Empire's Fist, which received an emergency alert under the direct order of Original Body Rogdoen, stir a hidden current beneath Terra's serenity.
The command from Rogdoen, transmitted via the Empire's Fist's suicide-like jump through Subspace, reaches the legions near Terra.
According to Magnus's reminder, at this moment, the Fire Lizard, Iron Hand, and Dark Raven Guard legions are awaiting their 'reinforcements', while the Iron Warrior, Whisperer, Midnight Lord, and Alpha legions have officially begun pacification operations against Helusu's son, the Death Guard, the Emperor's son, and the World-Eater.
In Rogdoen, the Original Body Iron Hand commander 'Ferus Marus' assesses that the battle forces are seven to four, with the advantage on our side!
Thus, although Terra is on alert, the intensity of the alert is limited; they aim to conduct pacification with minimal trace and impact.
Consequently, the three legions of the Second Empire haven't even received news of Helusu's rebellion.
Amid Terra's undercurrents, on the high platform of Terra's Imperial Palace, Magnus sets the teleportation coordinates from memory.
An elderly mortal, dressed in a stark simple robe, leans on a towering staff, staring blankly at the brilliant teleportation before him.
Around them, the Imperial Guard fills the area, and Tula Zhen rushes in with a fierce aura, eager to see who dared to storm the palace!
But as the light fades, when Magnus and Limanlus appear simultaneously on the platform, Tula Zhen can't help but wear a puzzled expression.
The elderly figure, standing conspicuously among the Imperial Guard, fixes his gaze on Xisi, who stands between the two Original Body giants.
Then the old man, together with the eyes behind him, stares at Xisi with bulging eyes.
Because this old man is named Makado, and the eyes behind him belong to the Emperor who cannot leave the Golden Throne.
Now, Makado and the Emperor stare blankly at the Xisi before them; after a brief daze, they suddenly speak:
How...?
You're back?!
