"...Even if the Storm Boundary is here right now, it may not be able to accurately measure the current spiritual base size of 'that thing'."
Following the Iron Hand's large army, Debit, who was quickly retreating to a safe distance, was hanging himself on a Rand generated by the "wisdom of the people", looking back at the turbulence on the battlefield behind him, with such emotion.
There is no doubt that it was a battle that would, in a literal sense, tear the world apart.
The huge subspace energy echoes every move of "Fulgrim" who has become equally huge. Thunder, fire and storm seem to appear naturally in compliance with his wishes. This is not a spell, but a natural phenomenon - a monster that has been infused with so many "blessings" can cause all kinds of strange phenomena by its very existence.
The ground was shaking constantly, and the magnificent sky on this battlefield that was mixed with the subspace also had dark cracks due to the powerful energy. It was unclear whether it was the air currents or the strong winds blown by the ether that equally tried to destroy and devour everything above the ground. No one knew where those things that were blown away finally went and what their outcome was.
Most of the Chaos Space Marines and Slaanesh Daemons began to cheer when the Lord of Joy sent blessings to Fulgrim, but they were still obviously too immersed in their own worlds to realize what was happening. This incident was also a disaster for them. Unlike the Iron Hands who received the order from the original body from the command link when the mutation first occurred and began to shrink the defense line in an orderly manner and prepare to evacuate, those Chaos supporters who just stood there stupidly were very confused. It was soon torn apart in the ether storm that followed.
Although the Iron Hands received the warning in time, everything happened too fast, and they were not unscathed during the retreat. Some battle brothers fell on the battlefield forever because of the stubborn enemies. However, thanks to the fact that most of the vehicles created by the "wisdom of the people" temporarily became bunkers, at least they are not like the enemy yet. Falling into a situation where the entire army was almost annihilated.
But they were obviously more worried than themselves. They were still stuck in the center of the storm, facing Ferrus Manus, the monster who caused all this.
Even without access to the Astartes' communication network, Debit knew exactly what issues they were silently discussing. He didn't pay too much attention to these original body guards, who were only less than one-fifth in number compared to when they set off. He just raised his head and looked diagonally above him and asked bluntly: "How is your current status? ?”
"It's a little better than imagined, but it's also limited." Enkidu, who was floating in that relative position, replied, "Although I am somehow supported by earth veins on this planet, consumption is consumption. . To use the wisdom of the people to build such a large number of man-made objects with such fine structures, I know it will consume a lot of resources."
Debit did not express any opinion on this, but continued to ask in this straightforward and inhumane way: "Then, can we still use 'O people, hope to bind the gods (Enuma Elish)' again?"
Enkidu stared at Debit with a puzzled look for a moment, as if assessing whether he was still sane.
"It can be used, but I can't guarantee the effect." After a short silence, God-made Weapon still chose to reply with a normal attitude, "In terms of your and my 'common sense', 'O people, I hope to use the lock system' God's 'Noble Phantasm of Solemnity' can indeed help in the current situation, but you must realize that the world in front of us is not running according to my 'common sense'."
——The "Noble Phantasm of Righteousness" often exists based on the support of suppressive power. It is a Noble Phantasm that makes people stronger when there is a major disaster in the world itself. Although in an objective sense, Enkidu's Noble Phantasm can certainly have a sufficient effect when facing Fulgrim, whose spiritual base is so large that it can be called a "disaster". There is another very important prerequisite for activating this treasure:
Inhibitory power.
Whether it is Gaia or Alaya, the activation of this Noble Phantasm must rely on the injection of restraint. Just like a sports car, no matter how fast it is in theory, can only be parked in a garage without oil, without restraint, even if Enkidu rushes forward with the chain of a divine weapon, it is not "O people, I hope to tie the gods with chains", but it is just a "lock of heaven".
"Not to mention Gaia, the existence of Alaya in this universe has indeed been proven by Fujimaru Ritsuka." Debit understood the other party's concerns, but his words still seemed to be urging in a concise and tough way, "Since If you can get the support of the ground in this fake land of 'Jericho', then at least this land is recognized by the 'Human Law'. According to this, on this battlefield, the 'Noble Phantasm of Solemnity' 'It should be able to unfold and function normally."
A large section of the argument process has been omitted, but the current situation is obviously not suitable for a leisurely debate. Of course, Enkidu himself has relevant knowledge. The latter did not question Debit's conclusion, but figured out the joints in an instant. Instead, he smiled and said: "It seems that this time, I have to thank the Lord of Changes again."
When Tzeentch tried to use the coincidence of the names "Jericho" and "Jerik" to construct a destined destiny for the Iron Hand based on human legends, it meant that he had to conceptually admit that " Jericho is Jericho.” So naturally, here we also enjoy the concept of human activities since the beginning of the human race, and this in turn provides conditions for the natural response of the inhibitory force.
"Even if the Noble Phantasm can be deployed normally, I cannot guarantee its effectiveness." Enkidu turned to the center of the storm again, "I don't know how much energy the 'suppression force' in this universe can provide. In the worst case— —Forget it. Anyway, it’s not you who has to face the ‘worst case scenario’ that may arise first, so it’s useless for me to tell you this.”
He just stared at the etheric storm, the black shadow cast in it barely outlined the outline of a huge four-armed snake monster, and the figure of Ferrus Manus was completely invisible in it. Judging from the fact that the only remaining members of the Iron Hands can barely maintain emotional stability, it seems that they have some way to confirm the basic state of the original body from a distance, but there is still some less obvious anxiety floating in the atmosphere.
Debit didn't hurry. He knew what Enkidu's "worst case scenario" meant to the servant himself. If that possibility came true, he would now be asking his servants to commit suicide on the battlefield as their master. This is naturally not a "good deed", but its results may also lead to greater "good".
There is no suggestion that he and Enkidu have any feelings, or that they are acting for the same goal. They were able to establish this kind of master-slave relationship only because Fujimaru Ritsuka was the bridge between them. It would be normal if Enkidu refused this order here, but in Debit's judgment, this was the best solution to the current situation. if--
"Don't look so resigned to death, I will go." Instead, Enkidu spoke first to comfort the man who had comforted Debit, "Although it was for Ritsuka's sake, since she thinks she can trust your judgment. If so, I would do the same. My question is: How confident are you about where this is going?"
Debit paused and said, "I don't know either."
"Isn't this just a gamble?" Enkidu complained, but he obviously had no intention of going back on his words.
The green-haired and white-robed heroic spirit sighed helplessly, leaving a faint golden lightning in mid-air. As the lightning rushed toward the storm that was getting further and further away from Debit, he also dropped his last words:
"I will cancel the 'Wisdom of the People', and then you can find a way to escape on your own!"
Before he finished speaking, the Land Raider "carrying" Debit had already produced abnormal vibrations during operation. The moment after the only occupant on it felt danger and hurriedly jumped to the ground, it quickly collapsed while traveling and turned back into a large mass of rocks and gravel.
From within the storm in the distance, a thunderous sound was heard again.
