Infinite Metaverse

Chapter 613 Edrad Uslan

“When there is no way out, the dangerous path is the only way to salvation.”

——Adrad Uslan

…………

The Void Whale successfully broke out of the screaming vortex.

Fu Qinghai once heard that there is an area in the screaming whirlpool called the "Rope-turning Realm", which is the residence of Thrall Tyr, another great demon of Tzeentch. Fu Qinghai didn't know where the rope-turning realm was, but it seemed that apart from the initial encounter with the group of Fire Lord Demon Engines, the Void Whale had never encountered any Chaos Demons trying to stop him.

The Ada Dragon ship left the super giant whale and turned its head in another direction. When the Eldar cruiser was sailing at sub-light speed, it moved much faster than the human empire warships, and soon arrived at a large webway gate outside the Kronos expansion area, a webway gate that warships could pass through. .

Then the Ada dragon ship entered the webway.

Fu Qinghai silently noted this location.

He doesn't care about other places, but the Calixis Sector, including the Kronos expansion area on the edge of the Calixis Sector, has been regarded by Fu Qinghai as his own sphere of influence. Any Webway gates in these places are worth being vigilant about - because not only the Ark Eldar can use the Webway, but the Dark Eldar, Harlequin Eldar, and Eldar pirates can also use it.

Ada dragon ships sailed rapidly through the webway.

Go through forks and branches one after another.

Fu Qinghai and Salamander, who had reunited after a long separation, were still chatting about each other's current situation. The main thing was Fu Qinghai telling Salamander about his battle of wits and courage with the Great Demon of Tzeentch.

As a result, we haven’t even had enough chat for one day.

An Eldar soldier came to the cabin and reported:

"Lord Salamander, we are here."

"So fast?"

Fu Qinghai raised his head and said in surprise.

"Yes, let's go, Qingshan."

Salamander stood up gracefully and said.

The Screaming Vortex and the Eye of Terror are both located in the Obscure Star Field, but the distance between them is very far. If you use the traditional method of subspace jumping, it will take a month or two to arrive without any trouble - however As we all know, there are the most moths in subspace, and it is possible to arrive early or late. The specific sailing time is actually difficult to accurately estimate.

Although this is not the first time that the Webway has been used for faster-than-light travel, the top speed of a jet motorcycle has never been comparable to the top speed of an Ada dragon ship. Having crossed almost half of the Hazy Star Territory in less than a day, Fu Qinghai was still surprised by the high efficiency and stability of the Webway navigation.

No wonder the Emperor loves the Webway so much.

Not to mention the stability that far exceeds that of subspace jumping.

The speed alone is exaggerated.

…

The craftworld of Uthwe.

The Ada Dragon ship slowly docked at the airport.

Fu Qinghai followed Salamander out of the battleship.

Along the way, Fu Qinghai's ferocious pitch-black armor and unusually tall body made the Eldar people in the airport look askance. How many years has it been since humans appeared in the Uthwe Arkworld? Besides, he's a Space Marine. Many Eldar civilians adhere to the path and spend their entire lives in the craft world, never seeing a Space Marine in their entire life.

Walking in the smooth jade-like spirit bone passage, Fu Qinghai saw a child from the spirit tribe standing next to his mother, blinking and looking at him curiously. Facing his gaze, the Elf child pointed at him with a smile, but was stopped by his mother. The Eldest woman's eyes were evasive and she didn't dare to look at each other. She quickly picked up her child and moved it away.

Fu Qinghai withdrew his gaze and showed no concern.

It's normal for them to feel scared.

That's what Space Marines are for.

"My father is waiting for you in the council, Aoyama."

Salamander turned around and said.

"Um."

Fu Qinghai nodded.

About to meet the legendary old prophet, Edrad Uslan, Fu Qinghai also felt a slight fluctuation in his heart. This is the representative and leader of the Ark Eldar family. He has superb prophecy abilities - not the passive prophecies of Sanguinius and Midnight Ghost. By practicing the way of prophecy, Eldrad can proactively start a meaningful event. prophecy of purpose.

And in a sense.

Edlard is also a semi-tragic character.

He accurately predicted that Horus had been corrupted and fell into Chaos, so he sent one of his Nether Lords to inform humans and Fulgrim, the Primarch of the Third Legion. But he never expected that the Phoenix Lord had fallen earlier than the Warmaster, and that Fulgrim was the first fallen Primarch. The final outcome was that the Nether Lords destroyed the entire Phoenix Guard, and then the Eldar Titan was strangled to death by Fulgrim.

Similar cases abound.

It can be predicted, but it cannot be changed.

How would you describe Edlard? He is a gambler, a stickman, an old bastard who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, and a riddler with a habit of talking in a nonchalant manner. But at least, his ability to see into the future is extremely powerful, and his stance against chaos is extremely firm. These two points are very certain. The old prophet now may not be as powerful as he will be ten thousand years ago, and he may not even be old, but his predictions...

Fu Qinghai took it 100% seriously.

Much more than taking the prophecy of blindsight seriously.

The two came to a secret room deep in the Arkworld, and a pointed arch opened automatically on the smooth and traceless wall. Salamander stood at the door and made a "please" gesture. Fu Qinghai nodded and walked into the secret room alone.

The wall behind him slowly healed. There were no lamps in this room, but all the walls exuded a faint glow, a soft light unique to Eldar technology. The air here is fresh and slightly fragrant.

A lanky figure in black robes and a crescent helmet levitated above the floor, illuminated by a ray of light falling from the sky and surrounded by swirling runes.

"Hello, Qingshan Khan."

The black-robed prophet raised his head and said.

"Hello, Supreme Prophet."

Fu Qinghai nodded calmly.

"Please take a seat."

The prophet raised his hand to signal, and a cylindrical spiritual bone platform automatically rose at Fu Qinghai's feet, with the height just right. Fu Qinghai sat down sideways, face to face with the prophet.

"I can see eight Chaos Undivided Demons bound in your power armor. They are greedily peering into my soul. If Salamander had not repeatedly assured me, I would have even thought that I was facing a Chaos Space Marine. .”

Edrad spoke softly.

"This is the key to my ability to make it through the storm alive."

Fu Qinghai didn't explain much.

"I only found out after talking with my daughter. It turns out that she was able to successfully protect the Passeril Wild Spirit Tribe from evacuating and get back our tribe's artifact, the Sword of the Old Woman, all because of your help. I have to say, Qingshan ·Khan, you surprised me and made me feel very relieved. You are one of the few enlightened people in the human empire who has not been brainwashed by rigid dogmas and fanatical propaganda. This young race of humans lacks guidance. , are generally full of distrust towards our clan. However, you understand that in fact, both our clans face a common enemy, which is the 'Original Annihilator'."

Edlard makes his case.

The Eldar call the demon "the original Annihilator".

The Necrons call the daemons "the creeping enemy."

"No, you are wrong, Supreme Prophet."

Fu Qinghai shook his head firmly and said:

"I don't trust the Eldar, not at all."

"I only trust Salamander."

Fu Qinghai emphasized his words and said seriously.

Edrad was obviously taken aback when he heard this.

"also."

The Supreme Prophet nodded and said.

He grabbed a rune from the air, examined it, and held it out into the turbulence around him, the rustle of black robes echoing in the ancient silence of the chamber.

"Then let's talk about the current matter."

Edlard changed the subject and said:

"Actually, the Prophet Council of Uthvi does not fully support my decision. They have always believed that I was overly interfering with destiny, and therefore opposed many of my decisions, including this operation. The Prophet Council believes that we should not interfere with the Space Marines. In a dispute with their Chaos cousins, this would be a thankless exercise - and in a sense they are right. I say this to you to understand, Aoyama, that you will not get anything from the Craftworld in this operation. I have done my best by sending people to bring you here from the Screaming Whirlpool, and you can only rely on yourself for the rest."

"I can understand."

Fu Qinghai nodded and said:

"Thank you for your help, Supreme Prophet."

Fu Qinghai had already expected this. He did not expect to get the full support of the Uthwe Ark World - not to mention why the Ark Eldar should support him. Even if they wanted to fully support him, just imagine the Black Templar. When a group of Eldar warships approached, the first reaction was to turn their guns and fire.

Edrad is considered an extreme radical in the Ulthwe Arkworld. In fact, many of his actions were not authorized and approved by the Prophet Council. They were completely self-initiated. After doing it so many times, the Prophet Council naturally had a strong dislike for him. Criticism - He was even expelled from the Prophet's Council during the 42K era.

"You seem very confident in yourself?"

Eldrad asked, staring at him.

"All I have is faith, Supreme Prophet."

Fu Qinghai replied calmly.

"I will deliver you to the Gates of Cadia."

Edlard made his decision known.

"This is enough."

Fu Qinghai slowly stood up and said.

…

Salamander and Eldrad stood side by side in a hollow corridor like a hollow skeleton behind the airport, watching the Ada Dragon ship slide out of the boarding deck again.

"Since the Prophet's Council has clearly expressed its opposition, why do you still choose to help Qingshan, father?"

Salamander turned and asked.

"The Council of Prophets thinks I am interfering too much with destiny."

Edlard looked long and soft and said softly:

"I do not deny their accusations against me. But this time is different. I am not interfering with fate. On the contrary, I am letting fate return to its proper track."

1. Kavin was stuck for a day without thinking about it, and then there were all kinds of social activities, drinking and eating. When I woke up, I thought about it carefully.
