With The Help of the 'Viper-class' Knights, it was like walking on flat ground.
Abominations, abomination Overlords, and Hybrid Mutants barely had time to show their faces before Herbert, at his side, sent them to meet the Tyranid Will with precise point-blank shots.
Finally, he saw the mansion he had been longing for!
The outer defenses of the entire mansion were almost completely breached, and everywhere one could see the corpses of genestealers and the Chaos Raptor Warband.
It was hard to imagine how the initial 'Spartan' warriors managed to hold out.
Thinking of this, Merlin immediately quickened his pace, leading the group into the mansion, frantically searching for any signs of acquaintances.
However, the entire mansion was searched, but Elsa and the others were still nowhere to be found.
But just then, Merlin keenly noticed that the space in a certain location seemed a little off!
He immediately led his men into the narrow corridor, and in an instant, the entire world seemed to have changed. They seemed to have broken into another dimension, and a huge rift suddenly appeared before their eyes!
In front of that colorful rift, there was a figure.
Looking at that figure, Merlin suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, and his pupils immediately constricted. Ignoring the attempts of those beside him to stop him, he rushed forward.
The distance grew shorter and shorter. Finally, the figure fully came into view.
It was Elsa!
She was like a shriveled skeleton, like a victim, suspended by an invisible force in front of the colorful rift.
"Elsa"
Merlin was stunned. He didn't understand why it had become like this!
Elsa, why was she in a place like this?
But seeing the very familiar Elsa transformed into this state made Merlin's heart tremble violently, and the prophetic images in his mind seemed to find their match!
It turned out that this was the true 'prophecy'.
Looking at Elsa, whose skin seemed burned, who was at the very center of the psychic storm, and was in unbearable pain.
Merlin finally understood that the 'prophecy' he had seen was this very scene before his eyes!
He also finally understood why Elsa in the prophecy looked like a withered skeleton: it was precisely because she had been drained of a large amount of life force by the Warp, becoming a 'sacrifice', which led to this scene!
"Is it strange?"
"She is for you!"
Suddenly, two voices came from the colorful rift, and Merlin looked intently.
A daemon with two bird-like heads, covered in blue feathers, holding a staff, like an elegant gentleman, on the other side of the colorful rift, 'watched' him with two gray-white eyes from its heads.
"My ancestor Caron, the Emperor above!"
Herbert, who had followed him in, was immediately dumbfounded.
"Lord of Change, Kairos Fateweaver?!"
He never expected his intuition to be so accurate, but wasn't this a bit too stimulating?
This was a top Greater Daemon under Tzeentch, rumored to be able to perceive the past and future, and weave the destinies of humans!
Kairos Fateweaver, it was rumored, was thrown into the 'Well of Eternity' by his master, Tzeentch, after being deceived. When He crawled out, He became extremely aged and lost His sight.
But at the same time, like Odin in mythology, who hung himself on the world Tree seeking wisdom, He gained supreme wisdom in the Well of Eternity!
It is said that although His eyes cannot see the 'present', He can see what happened in the past and future, and the futures He observes are inevitable facts, the only timeline!
But even from a daemon's perspective, Kairos was classified as a 'madman'.
Perhaps He saw too much about the future, which is why He fell into madness.
There is also a more interesting rumor about Kairos Fateweaver: when you ask Him a question, one of His two heads will tell the truth, and the other will tell an equally believable lie.
Of course, very few people know what this Greater Daemon, once cast into the Well of Eternity by his master, saw inside, or what He is plotting.
After hearing this, Merlin suppressed the anger in his heart and, without any fear, looked directly at this, Tzeentch's foremost strategist, the Lord of Change who could know the past and future.
"What do you mean?"
Kairos Fateweaver's two heads both cast mocking glances.
"Everything has a price, doesn't it?"
"Price? What price?"
Merlin cautiously moved his steps, approaching Elsa.
"I advise you." Kairos naturally noticed his small movements, but still didn't care, saying faintly.
"It's best not to approach her, otherwise… you will also become a 'sacrifice'."
"Sacrifice… what does that mean?"
On Merlin's forehead, veins seemed to throb, and anyone could hear the terrifying anger contained in his suppressed voice!
"Khorne, in order to get you, specifically meticulously prepared and planned a blood feast." Kairos stared at him with interest, and one of His two heads said with a half-smile.
"He intends to use the blood and skulls of the entire hive city of Siluria, three thousand Chaos Raptors, and hundreds of thousands of genestealers, to achieve your path to Daemonhood!"
"For today, He paid a great price, including… stopping your little girlfriend in advance." Kairos said, and with a gentle wave of his staff, a scene immediately appeared in the colorful rift.
Merlin only took one look and was immediately shocked. It was… Winnie Winslet!
She was wielding a golden greatsword wreathed in flames, fighting against five Greater Daemons of Khorne, while beside her, Space Marines, burning with pitch-black fire, clad in black armor like daemons, like ghosts, were fighting a bloody battle against endless Khorne cultists!
This… Merlin's eyes widened. If he wasn't mistaken, these seemed to be the 'Cursed Legion', right?
Even if they died, they couldn't rest; they were still dragged into the Cursed Legion by the Emperor for overtime, high-intensity 996—that's probably what these 'ghost-like' beings were referring to!
"Did you see?"
Kairos' bird beak opened, emitting a sharp laugh.
"Do you think, after paying such a huge price, that one on the Brass Throne would let you awaken so easily?"
The words caught in Merlin's throat, and he was speechless.
He asked himself, when he held the 'demonic artifact', he felt filled with infinite rage, feeling capable of killing all enemies that stood in his way!
But… was that really the case?
From the scene Kairos showed, Khorne had not only paid a great price, He had practically gone mad!
"So… she is for me?"
Merlin looked at Elsa, whose life force was being drained, and was immediately stunned.
"She prayed to the Emperor, but unfortunately… the one who answered her was my master." Kairos held his scepter and said meaningfully.
"You should thank my master. If my master hadn't intervened, I'm afraid… you would have already ascended to become a new 'Daemon Prince' by now."
