Even Lox felt that the idea which had suddenly occurred to him was insane.
Because the Warhammer universe was heavily influenced by the Warp, its spacetime continuity was far from rigorous. It could even be called exceptionally chaotic.
Humanity both loved and hated Warp travel because it was the only faster-than-light method capable of connecting humans across the entire galaxy. Yet it was also hated because Warp travel was simply too unstable.
Affected by Warp tides, the time consumed by Warp travel often fluctuated significantly from the estimated duration. In extreme cases, the deviation could even reach thousands of years.
A starship that departed in the thirty-first millennium might emerge from the Warp in the thirty-second—or appear in the thirtieth. The crew might have done nothing at all, yet outside, ages would have passed.
But even under the influence of the Warp's temporal disorder, the range of temporal error would not be too outrageous.
Interfering with spacetime across such extreme distances required a price far beyond what the Warp's inherent disorder could pay.
Unless one actively paid the price to trigger it, relying on the Warp to accomplish such a grand journey through time and space was nothing but a fool's dream.
What they needed to do now was thoroughly ignite the spacetime distortion effect entwined around Perturabo.
If properly utilized, that power could indeed take them to the era of the War in Heaven sixty million years ago.
Such an immensely long journey through time and space was an unprecedented test for Lox as well.
For that reason, he had chosen the humanoid C'tan Dantioch as his helper. As embodiments of the laws of the material universe, the C'tan almost inherently possessed the ability to manipulate timelines.
Though the Overlord was merely a fragment, he still retained part of
