Chapter 443: Trap, "Tear", "Brother Killing", Curse

?

At this moment, Magnus found himself in a completely strange and strange environment.

He looked around and saw that his brother Horus had disappeared, and Gastalin and Sekhmet had also disappeared.

Instead, there is an endless chaotic void, like an endless quagmire, filled with weird green, blue, yellow and other dazzling lights.

These lights flow like living things, entangled and intertwined with each other, forming an indescribable chaos and uneasiness.

And Magnus himself, or rather his consciousness, is in this space without a solid ground.

He floated on this flowing sea of ​​chaos, moving slowly with the tidal flow of those colored lights.

Despite the bizarre surroundings, he showed no signs of panic or hesitation.

He immediately realized that all this was not an illusion, but the moment he touched the heretical book, his consciousness was affected by some powerful existence.

It may be that a being at the level of a great demon or even an evil god was forcibly dragged in here.

Magnus's eyes darkened when he noticed this, and he slowly clenched his hands.

He knew very well that he was in the realm of chaos at the moment, so the enemy's goal was most likely to try to trap his consciousness, thereby weakening or even corrupting his soul, and then taking over his physical body.

Magnus was no stranger to such tactics.

And as his father's son, he was carefully cultivated and taught by his father, making his psychic talent surpass all his brothers.

He quickly adjusted his state, closed his eyes slightly, blocked out the visual interference from the outside world, and began to concentrate, preparing to mobilize the pure spiritual energy in his body that was like a golden flame, symbolizing absolute order and rationality.

As the spiritual energy gathered, his body began to emit a dazzling golden light, which was in sharp contrast to the chaos around him.

Magnus planned to use a "full blow" to destroy the chaotic space in front of him and liberate his consciousness from this strange cage.

However, just when he finished accumulating energy and was only one step away from releasing this majestic spiritual energy, he suddenly stopped.

Magnus opened his eyes slightly, his eyes sharp, cautious and thoughtful.

He always felt that there seemed to be some deep meaning hidden behind this space, and perhaps there was important information waiting for him to interpret.

If he destroys it hastily, he may miss key clues. Moreover, will his action of releasing psychic energy shock in this space implicate his brother and the Honor Guard?

The more serious consequence is that once he releases an extremely powerful psychic impact, it may cause irreversible damage to the entire Pandora planet, especially the damage to the space gate.

What if he accidentally "destroyed" the space gate, or if his psychic impact broke through the shackles of the space gate and reached the imperial palace of the main universe?

Then Magnus would become the "eternal sinner" since the founding of the Human Empire, or in the history of mankind.

Thinking of this, he temporarily suppressed the urge to release his spiritual energy and decided to explore the nature of this chaotic void before making further decisions.

——

While Magnus was "charging up energy, accumulating energy", but before giving up on his own initiative, the atmosphere in the refuge room suddenly became extremely tense——

"Father!"

"Please give the order! Father!"

"Quick! We have to stop him!"

"What are you doing?! Put down your guns!"

The metallic roars and quarrels of the people echoed in this solid refuge room, shaking every corner.

The Gastarins of the Luna Wolves aimed the muzzles of their parallel bolters at Magnus, who was in a daze with a dazzling golden light all over his body. At the same time, they also used the power on the side of his right arm. The claws are activated, and the beating plasma force field is ready to fight like a hungry beast.

As long as the situation changes, they will not hesitate to take action.

On the other side, the Sekhmets of the Thousand Sons fell into "chaos".

Their reaction was divided into two groups -

Half of them immediately stood up and tried to stop Gastalin's actions, shouting warnings.

After all, Magnus is their primarch, and they are Magnus's "children".

Seeing Gastalin pointing his gun and claw tips at his father, the half of Sekhmet immediately wanted to protect Magnus' safety and confronted the Gastalins.

But the other half was a little hesitant.

The eye monitors of their helmets, or "Gazes," moved between the Primarchs Magnus and Horus.

For them, the situation before them is full of contradictions——

It is their duty to protect their original body, but now Magnus is on the verge of losing control, and once the psychic energy completely goes wild, the consequences will be disastrous.

The tense atmosphere in the entire refuge room seemed to have frozen.

Magnus' figure was wrapped in dazzling golden light, like a small sun. The light even penetrated the thick walls of the refuge room and faintly reflected on the metal wall outside.

At this moment, the original body was like a still statue, and the whole person fell into an unknown state of sluggishness, making it impossible for Gastalin and Sekhmet to tell whether the original body was still in control of its own spiritual power, or whether it was It is reaching a critical point about to explode.

Everyone's anxiety is not unreasonable.

The release of psychic energy from an out-of-control Primarch would undoubtedly be catastrophic, not to mention that Magnus was no ordinary Primarch.

Not only is he psychically powerful, he also possesses unparalleled psychic talent.

If he goes berserk, the range of impact he can release will not be limited to the refuge room or the 2nd company base, but will directly tear apart the crust of Pandora and turn the entire planet's surface into a sea of ​​dead fire.

"keep Calm!"

Horus's deep and shocking roar reverberated through the refuge room like thunder, instantly suppressing everyone's noise.

"Yes, father!"

The Gastalins who had pointed their guns at Magnus just now immediately put away their weapons and stood ready.

A Sekhmet knelt on one knee and respectfully begged Horus:

"Dear Lord Horus, please assist our father!"

The Sekhmet's tone was full of sincerity and anxiety, and he was obviously extremely worried about Magnus' safety.

"Please help our father!" More Sekhmet followed, half-kneeling and begging in unison.

"."

Horus was silent for a moment and did not answer immediately.

He just nodded slightly, indicating that he would do his best to save the situation at hand.

At the same time, he turned to look at Magnus, his eyes complex, deep and heavy.

In fact, Horus also experienced a violent conflict in his heart.

He trusted Magnus's wisdom and strength so much that not long ago, he fully agreed to his brother's proposal to read the heretical book.

He believed that Magnus could control psychic powers and suppress any potential threats.

But the situation before him clearly showed that he underestimated the cunning and evil of Chaos——

This is a highly targeted trap.

Although Magnus has already been carefully taught by his father, he no longer has blind curiosity about "unknown things" and has gradually become more stable and calm. However, in the face of intelligence that can provide insight into the future and may even change the direction of the war, Magnus will still choose to take risks.

In fact, most of the Primarchs, including Horus, like to take risks.

This is a determination rooted in the bones of the original body——

They would rather take risks themselves to obtain key information for the benefit of the empire, or for their father.

The vast majority of Primarchs are not reckless, but are confident in their own strength, wisdom, and ability to deal with crises.

However, the situation in front of him is obviously the plan of evil gods and demons.

Logically speaking, the heretical book recovered from the battlefield by ODST and elite veterans, no matter how dangerous it is, cannot pose a threat to an existence like the original body.

After all, ODSTs and elite veterans can resist the temptation and corruption of heretical books, so there is no reason why they would affect the original body.

However, the fact before him is that Magnus instantly fell into a sluggish state after touching the heretical book.

Horus immediately sensed that his brother's consciousness might have been held hostage by some kind of "power" behind the books.

Although he could sense that Magnus was not in danger and the pure spiritual energy was still protecting his body, this could not prevent a more serious problem.

Magnus unleashes powerful and chaotic psychic blasts, possibly unconsciously.

And once the original body, especially Magnus's spiritual energy explodes with full force, the consequences will be disastrous.

To be honest, Horus had never seen any of his brothers unleash their full force.

However, even his brother Guilliman, who is not "cold" about psychic powers, can easily destroy an entire planet if he unleashes it with all his strength.

As for Magnus, once this brother who is unparalleled in spiritual attainments loses control, perhaps the entire Pandora, and even the star system where it is located, will be completely torn apart by the psychic storm, and create a convenient subspace connection. The "channel" of the real universe.

This is indeed a very high-level disaster for the entire empire.

But in the current situation, unless Horus takes action and kills Magnus with one blow, it is possible to curb Magnus's loss of control.

Because of the attack, it is very likely that Magnus, whose consciousness is imprisoned, will aggravate the situation and misjudge the situation, which will directly trigger a psychic impact that "tear apart the galaxy."

Thinking of this, Horus became more and more certain that from the moment he gave the order to the 2nd Company to eliminate all Na'vi regardless of whether there was any sign of chaos, he took the initiative to walk into the trap set by the evil god and demon.

And now, he is unable to achieve real-time communication with Magnus.

So Horus was faced with two choices, either to kill the brother closest to him, or to watch the "psionic storm" released by his brother, tearing apart and destroying himself, and even the entire star system.

And this is where the cunning of the evil god and demon lies.

No matter what choice he made, the result would be unacceptable to Horus.

"."

Horus frowned as he saw the spiritual light emitting from Magnus becoming more and more intense, so dazzling that it almost turned the entire refuge room into a golden ocean of spiritual energy.

The intensity of the psychic energy fluctuations was close to the dangerous critical point, so he couldn't help but raise his right hand, spread his fingers, and gave a silent command to the Gastalin behind him who was carrying the weapon for him.

The Gastalin immediately understood the original body's intention and quickly took off the giant warhammer that was attached to the back of his power backpack and was more than three meters long and nearly four meters long, and respectfully handed it to Horus.

Horus held the warhammer given to him by his father and named "World Breaker", and the strength of his arm tightened slightly.

The heavy texture of the warhammer entered his palm, as if reminding him of the weight of this responsibility. The look in his eyes when he looked at Magnus revealed quite complicated emotions.

There was trust and concern, but also the struggle of having to make a choice.

He believed in his brother, but he could not rely on trust for tens of millions of people and the stability and safety of the empire.

He could not gamble.

If Magnus, whose consciousness was imprisoned, thought that he could only regain his freedom by trying his best, then everything would be too late.

The Chinese characters attached to the World Breaker also glowed faintly under the reflection of the psychic light, as if responding to the master's determination.

Then, Horus raised his right hand holding the World Breaker tightly, and was about to "interrupt" his brother with all his strength-

!!

Horus saw that Magnus, who was originally wrapped in the psychic light, suddenly returned to normal, which made him quickly stop swinging the hammer.

At the same time, Horus couldn't help but take a deep breath, and his tense muscles finally relaxed, and even a trace of cold sweat oozed from his palms.

He felt an indescribable sense of relief in his heart.

If he hadn't deliberately delayed for a few seconds, if he had slightly accelerated the action of swinging the hammer,

then he might really become the Primarch of "Brother Killer", and this thought made his back cold.

It was not only him who had the same emotion, but everyone present.

Justalin and Sekhmet were both glad that Magnus did not really lose control, and Horus did not swing the World Breaker in advance.

——

At the same time, on Magnus' side in the "Chaos Realm", the surroundings were still filled with constantly changing colorful luster, as if there was an abyss with no end.

Suddenly, a sharp and piercing curse resounded in this space, and it seemed to come from all directions:

"!!!!"

"Stupid! Idiot!!! This is impossible! Why is this happening?!"

The voice was so rough that it seemed to have been crushed by gravel, and mixed with the gurgling sound of phlegm in the throat, which made Magnus frown.

"This can't be my mistake! No, it's not my fault!" The voice became sharper and sharper, with a kind of gritting teeth anger.

"It's you! You stupid thing! You actually made such a wrong choice!!!"

The whole space seemed to be shaking with this roar.

However, facing this harsh voice, Magnus was surprisingly calm.

His consciousness was like a stable lighthouse, unmoved.

Because he understood that the reason why the other party cursed was that he refused to release the psychic impact, which meant that there was nothing wrong with his decision.

And the next second, a huge "figure" appeared in front of Magnus' consciousness.
