"This is not right." Prophet No. 10 in the bridge shouted nervously.
No one paid attention to him, everyone's attention was focused on the broadcast signal. All the children of the night on this ship, whether they have wandered here from the long past or were born from a moment closer to the "now", have all been transformed from electronic data without exception. I was mesmerized by the sounds and images that came.
No one in this ragtag group had actually met their genetic father, and there was certainly no way to tell the authenticity of the speaker from a broadcast message that could obviously be forged - in theory, that was the case, but There is obviously some kind of supernatural force at work: all the gene seeds in the children of the night are singing in this sound, and the rushing blood happily declares surrender the first moment they see the image. They should have questioned or even denied everything they saw, but no one could.
Even Prophet No. 10 himself, who was yelling "This isn't right."
"This is not what happened!" Even so, his nervous voice still shouted, "This has nothing to do with my original prediction, something must have gone wrong!"
Still no one paid attention to him, even the corpse of the slave hanging beside him remained silent. Perhaps it is a gift from the gene seed, or perhaps it is his own talent. It is not a very unusual thing for Prophet No. 10 to "talk to the dead" - just like his predecessor, or his genetic father. .
This may be because uncontrollable spiritual energy oppresses his physiology, making him prone to hallucinations on similar occasions, or maybe something in the subspace wants to convey certain information to him through the corpses around him. And their conversations were deliberately prolonged. But now, he felt nothing.
There were no sudden troubles or maddening omens. Even the subspace calmed down submissively, and the chattering disappeared. This made Prophet No. 10 very uncomfortable for a while, as if those cursed talents suddenly decided to leave him, and his world became the same as those of his more "unspiritual" brothers, leaving only Himself, the physical universe, and the voice of the Gene Father, carried by the radio, echoing across the bridge.
He should probably convince himself to focus on those rare words that everyone had longed for, but this feeling of "something wrong" made him unable to do so. He couldn't help but nervously compare everything he saw in his original vision with what was happening now: something was wrong from the beginning, he did not foresee such a speech.
What he saw was that the Plague God's fleet was wreaking havoc in the Extreme Star Territory, and they would discover the figure of the Gene Father on a planet called Parmenio. Konrad Curze would be at the forefront of the war against the Death Guard and the Daemon Primarch, fighting alongside Robert Guilliman for the Imperium.
This is already a ridiculous enough prediction. All the warband leaders who heard this prophecy thought he was telling some unfunny joke, and some even got so angry that they wanted to kill him. No. 10 himself felt that this prophecy was too ridiculous, but out of trust in the ability passed down in the gene seeds, he did not completely deny the possibility that this would actually happen in the future.
With his strong persistence, the news was finally passed to all warbands through the Nightborne's secret communication network. And because even rumors about the father of genes, even if they are just random, will easily touch the nerves of the bats. The Night Lords finally mobilized in full force, gathering all the strength of the entire "legion" of about 60,000 people - after the Thirteenth Dark Crusade, they were the only ones left - as a whole, they marched mightily Pressing the Mandeville point of the Parmenio galaxy.
They want to know if this prophecy is true and if they can actually find their genetic father on this planet. If not, it doesn't matter, the snipe and the clam compete for the fishermen's profit. While the Imperial Regent is devastated by the Plague Warriors' attack, they can also make a fortune in this wealthy little kingdom.
Of course, if the prophecy was wrong and they didn't find their genetic father, then it's hard to say what would happen to Prophet No. 10 who "tricked them all". Number Ten himself knew this, but he was willing to gamble out of trust in his ability.
But now, it happened in a strange way: his prediction was wrong, but the Night Lord did confirm the existence of Konrad Curze at the edge of the Parmenio System.
This may have saved Prophet No. 10 from being killed (of course, in the Midnight Lord's concept, the final actual expression of this word will always be a million times worse than simply "death"), but it also made him Fell into great confusion and confusion.
This emotion did not last long, because the content in the broadcast was actually not very long: after a round of video and audio playback, the receiver showed obvious lag. After such a short few seconds, this The speeches visibly began to rotate. Even if it was completely predictable that what followed was just a repeat of the previous one, none of the Night Lords present took their attention away from it—except for Prophet No. 10.
Some kind of unexplainable terror suddenly seized his mind. In that flash of light, he suddenly understood why his talent, which had been entangled with him like gangrene in his bones, had been strangely quiet just now. Got it down:
The Lord of the Night arrives at this moment.
——
Yago Savitarian, who was on "duty" in Tyros Cathedral, suddenly closed his mouth at the same moment.
This was unusual, because at this moment, he obviously still had half of his sarcastic words left in his mouth. No one present would think that he was suddenly at a loss for words at this moment - first of all, Diglis and the Ever Victorious Army generally believed that this word probably did not exist in the dictionary of the Captain of the Night Lords; secondly, he really didn't look very good. Satisfied.
The cavalry-style Terminator power armor on his body visibly shut down all weapon systems in the next instant, followed by the power system, and then, its joint movement and broadcast sound functions were completely locked. . In an instant, the armor was transformed from a powerful and indispensable aid in combat to a solid cage for prisoners. The director of the Ultramarines think tank seemed to hear in a trance, a female voice vaguely penetrated the curtain, and she was angrily saying Shouting, telling everyone to stay away from him.
Then, blood seeped out from the gaps in the power armor that was supposed to be completely sealed. This is something that shouldn't happen. After the power armor is locked, everything about Yago Severtalion, his body, blood, and even his voice should be firmly locked in it - but this is the case. happened.
The miserable howl of the First Company Commander's suffering was carried by the spiritual energy beyond his own control, penetrated the locks of the power armor, and echoed between the carefully designed walls of the pulpit. Diglis raised his staff at the same time, and with his quick reactions and superb skills, he withstood the painful psychic impact for everyone else present - but then, he discovered that this was not a The end, but just the beginning.
In places he didn't see, in hidden places in Tyros Cathedral, the Children of Midnight who were originally hiding in the shadows and darkness also experienced almost the same encounter at the same time. The only difference was that they were not psychic. or, so the destruction they wreak in agony would be less threatening than that of their First Captain. In an empty cathedral, their anomalies would not attract undue attention.
Farther away in the void, on the Lion's Mane, which continued to sail towards Mandeville Point, the Night Lords who had their armor removed and imprisoned also experienced the same experience. The Dark Angels responsible for guarding them thought that they were mentally prepared for similar scenes due to Coz's advance disclosure, but when they actually saw what was happening in the cell, they still realized what was happening. It has gone far beyond their inherent knowledge.
And in the Night Lord's dilapidated and patchwork fleet, this kind of thing also happens to every nightborne in every ship. Only Konrad Curze himself, and the eighteen Night Lords around him who had already passed the same trial, were able to escape this torture and walk calmly in this terrifying living hell.
The Primarch of the Night Lords chuckled amid the wails of pain: That's it.
He is such a hateful and terrifying monster. He has nothing to offer but pain and suffering.
Even if the other party is his genetic son.
Miwu (six o'clock)
You may have forgotten that the prophecy No. 10 occurred just after the Jestal copy ended. The impact of Guda's reorganization of humanity caused ripples in the subspace. He used this to predict that the shell would be resurrected and would appear in reality. activities in the universe.
However, Guda cannot be retrieved due to its own characteristics (visitors from another world) and the joint cover of two subspace powers (old T and old E). Even Kezi himself feels that once Guda takes action, all related futures will be lost. Disturbed. So the scene No. 10 saw was a conclusion deduced from the situation at that time and after eliminating all the influence of Guda (of course it was wrong).
In fact, I feel that the 40K Night Lords disappeared after Brother Dun went to fight the Eldar Ark in the Thirteenth Dark Crusade, so I made up the current situation of NL.
It may also be that I did not do enough research. If there is any mistake, please quickly throw the original text in my face and express my gratitude.
