Kairos: I Have a Perfect Plan

The Mandala Formation was the most commonly used battle formation by the Thousand Sons Legion in the past.

It can share the power and abilities of the unit that forms the array.

The bomb exploded in front of Ahriman, but his instinctive shield blocked it.

Ktesias, one of the Thousand Sons Sorcerer, made a summoning sign.

The surrounding air temperature dropped, causing frost to form.

Hordes of Chaos Daemon from the Warp were summoned by contracts and spells.

The Rubric Marines, whose head had been blown off by Ten-Timer, was restored to normal.

"A heart as firm as the Stone, Indomitable."

The Warmaster roared, running and firing simultaneously.

After running out of Bolter, he drew the greatsword from his back and swung it at his opponent.

Psychic Shield cannot stop melee weapons.

But the devil can.

The enslaved demons faced the Warmaster.

The weapon emitting black smoke clashed with the greatsword in his hand, producing a clanging sound.

The barrier Warp and reality has not been broken.

The demon's projection had little effect in reality and quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.

After another sword strike missed, Warmaster seized the opportunity when his opponent dodged and threw a punch.

With a loud bang, the other person's head was smashed open.

The opponent's body dissipated like black smoke, while its soul was banished back to the Warp.

"There are too many of them," Ctesias said, his voice tinged with panic.

"The Sons of Dorn? The son of Lion El'Jonson? And the scent of a wolf cub!"

Ahriman could sense the bloodline of the attackers, and his heart sank.

The roar of gunfire was too fierce and continuous.

In the distance, the roar of the Valkyrie's engine could be heard.

Clearly, the entire city's military forces have been mobilized.

If the battle is not resolved in time, the endless stream of Imperium soldiers will surely wear them down.

"Traitor, die!"

Strategist, Iron Warriors, charged forward wielding Chainaxe, and swung it down with tremendous force.

In order to avoid his attack, the Thousand Sons Sorcerer had to abandon the Mandala Formation and retreat to avoid it.

With a thud, the giant axe hit the ground, cleaving a crack in the area where they had just stood.

The attack was so swift that their ability to anticipate was almost useless.

Without the protection of the Mandala Formation, several Rubric Marines were attacked by a barrage of bullets.

One of them was instantly smashed to pieces.

"For Luna Wolves, for the Emperor."

The Turtle shouted the slogan of the Great Crusade and swung its Chainsword at Ahriman.

"Sons of Horus?" Ahriman was stunned for a moment, then dodged the attack by sidestepping.

"I am the Luna Wolves!" the Turtle roared, launching another attack.

The Chain Axe roared as it tore through the air.

Using the knowledge of the Corvidae Cult, Ahriman peered into the Fate Lines.

However, to his horror, his precognitive abilities, which had once made him invincible, failed at this moment.

In the past, when fighting against others, Ahriman could always see all the possible futures and choose the one that was most advantageous to him.

But now, he can't see anything at all.

He ducked awkwardly to avoid the swinging axe blade.

The next second, his opponent delivered a knee strike to his faceplate.

The brute force shattered the mask instantly, causing blood to flow from his face.

Ahriman looked embarrassed; he had relied too heavily on the Corvidae Cult's precognitive abilities.

After losing the ability to foresee the future, he felt lost and helpless when fighting enemies in close combat.

But he was, after all, a veteran who had survived the Great Crusade, and he quickly adjusted.

When the Turtle attacked again, he used his Scepter to block the axe blade.

Then, a bolt of lightning appeared out of nowhere and struck the Turtle, sending it flying.

Ahriman raised his Scepter, surveyed the battlefield, and realized the situation was dire.

A distant Tzeentchian Beast was pierced by a sharp blade, and the next second, it was cleaved into pieces by a battle axe, howling as it was banished back into the Warp.

The Valkyrie and gunships in the air swept the ground, the dense barrage of gunfire forming an exaggerated barrage that instantly pierced through the enemy's body.

The Rubric Marines and demons were utterly destroyed, and the Thousand Sons Sorcerer, including Ctesias, were also in dire straits.

The Corpse Emperor has too many minions.

"You have to come with us."

Ahriman looked at Ten-Timer, then slammed his fist on the ground, unleashing a burst of spiritual energy that instantly froze time around him.

The members of the Emperor's Cattle Warband were completely immobilized, frozen in their previous poses like statues.

Ahriman stepped forward, preparing to forcibly take Ten-Timer away.

The next second, golden light suddenly burst forth from Ten-Timer's body.

The time confinement was broken.

Qin Yun appeared beside Ten-Timer.

Xi Ling came along too.

Xi Ling's appearance is becoming more and more human-like.

She possesses a silver body composed of precious active Nano-metal.

Nano-Active Metal is an improved version of the Active Metal of the Necron and the Nano-metal of the Dark Age of Technology, possessing incredible regenerative abilities.

Even if only one atom remains, it can continuously absorb energy and return to its original form.

Upon landing, Xi Ling sent several demons flying.

With a wave of his hand, an invisible force erupted, crushing the demon into pieces.

Qin Yun looked at Ahriman calmly.

"Ahriman?"

Upon receiving news of the Ahriman invasion,

He was overseeing the reconstruction project at a distant construction site.

Discussing the new city with several designers who are also players.

Realizing the player was in danger, they immediately used their skills to rush over.

"You are that 'Living Saint,' the claw of the Corpse Emperor..."

Before Ahriman could finish speaking, Qin Yun launched an attack.

A violent bolt of lightning appeared instantly, filling the battlefield.

Ahriman's eyes widened. Such terrifying psychic power could only be controlled by his father, Magnus.

He was forced to curl up, gathering all his psionic energy into a shield to withstand the thunderstorm.

But he didn't last long before he was thrown into the air and crashed heavily to the ground.

The same applies to other Thousand Sons Sorcerer, Rubric Marines, and demons.

The opponent's technique in using psychic energy was very crude, but his psychic energy was simply too strong; even he was no match for him.

"Kill him." Ahriman pointed at Qin Yun and commanded the demons to charge.

Qin Yun swung his sword, cleaving the first demon that lunged at him in two.

He grabbed another winged demon by the throat and slammed it to the ground.

Ahriman did not linger in the fight; he used his Scepter to open a Warp portal that radiated brilliant light.

"No! My MVP, don't go!" Warmaster shouted.

Other players fired at Ahriman, but their shots were all blocked by the Psychic Shield.

They could only watch helplessly as they walked toward the entrance to the Warp.

"Ahriman, don't you consider me a brother anymore?"

Ten-Timer's words made Ahriman, who was about to step into the Warp entrance, turn his head and glance at him.

"I will come back."

His voice was somber, and it was clear that Ahriman was furious.

Ten-Timer has tricked him several times, and now he's going to do it again.

"I'll go with you as long as you close the Warp portal!" Ten-Timer shouted.

Ahriman staggered, his body twitching slightly with rage.

Does this guy think he's an idiot?

Ahriman didn't look back, but left even faster.

Qin Yun swung his sword, and the radiant blade instantly pierced through the demon's body before him.

The demon howled and turned to ashes.

Other demons, or the Rubric Marines who were unable to leave, were also blasted into pieces and scattered all over the ground under the fierce firepower.

The Warp Rift has completely closed, as if it had never existed.

Players such as Ten-Timer and Warmaster stood at the vanished Warp Rift, beating their chests and wailing incessantly.

Ahriman is gone, and their hearts are broken.

If they can secure Ahriman, the MVP award will be theirs.

Ahriman is far more valuable than that Lord of Dark Flame — Balphomer.

"Damn it, we were so close to catching him." Warmaster gritted his teeth, in agony. "Then we wouldn't have had to listen to those Demon Hunter Warband guys bragging anymore, and we could have thoroughly humiliated them."

"Who would have thought that Chosen like Ahriman would run away? He has no backbone. Shouldn't he have fought to the death?"

The Turtle also limped over, having suffered such a great loss without gaining any benefit.

"Next time, we must not let him get away with it again."

Ten-Timer clenched his fist. "He'll definitely come back again."

"..."

Unexpectedly, these guys managed to sneak in.

Fortunately, no major damage was caused.

"We still need to find a way to guard against these traitors infiltrating and causing sabotage."

Qin Yun thought to himself,

Xi Ling walked over; she had switched from battle mode to daily mode.

The anthropomorphic body module activated, transforming her into a human woman wearing a naval uniform.

"Master, Fleet Commander Xia has sent you a communication."

"Connected." Qin Yun nodded.

A light screen appeared out of thin air, and Xia's figure appeared inside.

"Living Saint."

Xia performed an Aquila Salute.

"Is there something you need?" Qin Yun asked.

"A signal from Aeldari ship has been detected. The ship claims to be from the Craftworld Ulthwe and has come to assist us on the orders of the Farseer Eldrad Ulthran."

"I need to confirm with you whether they should be allowed to pass?"

Qin Yun recalled that before he left Macragge, he had spoken with Eldrad Ulthran, hoping that Eldrar could send his men to assist him.

I thought they would take a long time, but who would have thought they would arrive so quickly.

"Allow them to pass through and treat them as guests. Instruct that no department is allowed to show hostility towards them."

The Aeldari possess the most powerful psionic skills in the Milky Way.

To prevent the infiltration of Chaos or those traitors, we need to consult them.

"Understood, Living Saint."

After Xia nodded, the communication was shut down.

Qin Yun glanced at the players who were still howling and occasionally glancing at him out of the corner of their eyes, and immediately understood what these guys were thinking.

"Give them the rewards, Xi Ling."

"Yes, Master."

[Unexpected Event Reward: Ahriman suddenly infiltrates the world of Scintilla with the intention of causing chaos, but you successfully stop him. This greatly pleases the Guide, who decides to reward you.]

Rewards: 15,000 Contribution Points, 50 Honor Points, 70 Warfare Score

Upon receiving the reward, the players immediately beamed with joy, their earlier grief completely gone.

Qin Yun was speechless; these gullible youngsters were as persistent as ever in their pursuit of rewards.

After complaining for a bit, Qin Yun had Xi Ling issue another task.

Mission: Investigate the truth.

Ahriman, a henchman of the Chaos Dark God — the Lord of Change —has infiltrated Scintilla, and it is unknown what kind of conspiracy he intends to carry out. The Guide is worried that he will cause damage and must nip the threat in the bud.

Please help the Guide investigate Ahriman's intentions in infiltrating the Calixis Sector and thwart his plot.

The Inquisition Caidin be in charge of this matter, so go report to him quickly and accept the assignment.

Rewards: 25,000 Contribution Points, 1,000 Honor Points, and 1,500 Warfare Score.

Upon seeing the quest being offered, the players left excitedly.

Qin Yun returned to the construction site in his Valkyrie, and after explaining the remaining tasks to the supervisor in charge of the reconstruction and the players,

He then set off back to near-Earth orbit, preparing to meet the Farseer of the Craftworld Ulthwe.

He wanted to discuss with the other party how to prevent Chaos infiltration and intrusion.

Warp, the Crystal Labyrinth.

"Ahriman is a really smart guy."

Watching Ahriman flee in a sorry state, Kairos, looking at the messy fate lines, gritted his teeth in hatred.

I thought they would lie low, then plot and make a big fuss, but this is what happened?

Seeing the Pure Thousand Sons made him as excited as the Prince of Pleasure seeing a pervert on a train. He rushed over in a hurry, only to be beaten up and forced to flee in a sorry state.

"I'll do it myself. I'll weave a perfect plan to plunge the entire Calixis Sector into the Abyss of Chaos, keep the Corpse Emperor's minions running for their lives, and eventually bring them to collapse and offer their loyalty to the gods."

"First, seize the opportunity of chaos in the Calixis Sector, guide those cults to let the corruption of the Menagerie infiltrate the entire Calixis Sector, let those twisted people lurk everywhere, until the moment of destiny, then unleash a unified attack, and destroy everything created by the servants of the Cursed One."

"From hope to utter despair, from heaven to hell, the wails of this 'Living Saint' must be quite spectacular."
