A Resolute Heart
"Yes, yes, now that you mention it, I remember! It really does resemble Horus. It's so blasphemous!" Tzeentch said.
No wonder I felt a strange sense of familiarity; now I know what it was about.
"How could you do this? Why would Mr. Han do something like this?"
Oh, isn't it?
"How did this get involved with me? I didn't bring this trouble upon Tyranids!"
"Then what do you suggest we do?!"
"Why is this kind of problem being asked of me again? What do you mean, 'I'm supposed to tell you what to do'?"
"Shouldn't you be the one to figure this out? We're not on the same side, understand?"
"So you're still planning to come see me?"
"This is incredibly strange, you know? This is incredibly strange! Even stranger than the Horus Heresy."
"If this Tyranids's will, now in human form, were to succeed, it wouldn't just be one Pantheon, it would be Pantheon to the power of Pantheon!"
"Not that little," Sinleech said through gritted teeth.
I can't say it without gritting my teeth, mainly because of toothache, my back molars hurt!
"Our most urgent task right now is to find Mr. Han as soon as possible."
"Tell him the whole story immediately, and we must never let the Horus tragedy repeat itself."
Even a 40k- Lord of Change knows that if this Tyranids will succeeds, the Warp will definitely suffer.
Whether or not Warp exist in the future is another matter entirely.
Sinleech was also well aware that if this Tyranids will succeeded, it would completely take over the entire Tyranids.
If the Warp is eventually wiped out by the emerging Tyranids, then his Positive Authority will be in jeopardy.
"Come on, change into something decent, we're going to find Mr. Han now, right away!"
"Why are you changing your clothes? Let's go!"
Han Mingxuan is currently considering how to deal with the Tyranids.
Xiao Ning already has his own body, but he doesn't yet have his own army.
This is something we need to focus on next.
Bang!
Urtana, who was standing nearby, looked up abruptly and saw the two people who had kicked the door to pieces.
One is the current Imperium Chancellor, and the other looks exactly like Imperium Chancellor. Without a doubt, the other is the Lord of Changes.
Why did you two come together?
"There's no time to explain, Mr. Han, come with us immediately, something terrible is about to happen!"
"What's the big deal?"
"If it weren't for something serious, we two sworn enemies wouldn't be showing up together, sir. Come with us now, there's no time to explain."
Well, now that you mention it, it's true.
"Urtana, tidy up here. I'm going out with the other two."
"I understand, sir."
After arriving at the Crystal Labyrinth, Han Mingxuan just stared at the two guys.
"You two, tell me, why did you call me over in such a hurry?"
"It's really amazing, actually, that you two managed to form a united front."
Sinleech and Tzeentch exchanged a glance; neither of them knew how to begin.
"Speak up! You called me here in such a hurry, why are you dawdling like this now?"
In the end, it was Sinleech spoke first. If it had been Tzeentch spoke, Han Mingxuan would most likely have beaten them both up first, and then suspected that he had betrayed them.
"Mr. Han, the work you've done is so bizarre that we had no choice but to call you over."
"What kind of work did I do?"
"That's your newly adopted daughter; she's incredibly strange."
Um?
It's amazing that Sinleech would say it's strange.
"Tell me in detail what exactly happened."
"Sir, you should know that there is a very major event in our current timeline called the Horus Heresy."
"Of course I know about the Horus Heresy; he even wanted to have a Pantheon with the Emperor."
"When I created this girl, I realized I had the script for the Emperor, but fortunately I managed to salvage the situation in time."
"But don't you think about it? You've got the Emperor's script, but who's got Horus's?"
Han Mingxuan answered without hesitation. After all, he had done his Investigation on this matter beforehand, and with Investigation comes the right to speak, so there was nothing wrong with that.
"It definitely isn't the Night Haunter. I've discussed this with him. If I had to say someone is having a mental block about it, it's probably Curze."
"However, I believe in Curze's change, and I also believe in my own educational abilities; there won't be any problems."
The Lord of Change and Sinleech exchanged a glance, then shook their heads together at Han Mingxuan.
"Isn't that right?"
"What do you mean 'isn't it wrong'? My Mr. Han, your answer is absolutely wrong!"
"Then tell me, who got Horus's script?"
"It's your daughter!" Sinleech solemnly stated the answer.
Are you kidding me?
"Sir, what you've done seems more like a joke. I'd rather we were just joking now!"
"It's not that scary, is it? Xiao Ning seems perfectly normal to me."
Was Horus's rebellion something that could be accomplished overnight? Had Horus shown any disloyalty to the Emperor before his rebellion?
"No! But everything has a traceable history; you know everything that happened after the Ullanor Crusade."
"What does this have to do with Xiao Ning?"
"She... is Tyranids!"
Tyranids?
Doesn't she have a human body?
Wrong!
The thought of a certain possibility gave Han Mingxuan a headache, and his face began to turn pale.
"Sir, it seems your reaction wasn't slow; you've finally figured it out."
"Sinleech, tell me the truth, are you trying to say that her underlying consciousness is still that of the Tyranids?"
"So, at its core, her thought process is still based on the Tyranids way of thinking?"
"Correct answer."
Hearing the affirmative answer, Han Mingxuan rubbed his face helplessly.
"I'm getting old, really senile. I never thought I'd pull off something this big. It's true what they say, people eventually become the kind of person they hate most."
"Take it easy, Mr. Han, there's still hope."
"Of course I know there's still hope, otherwise neither of you would have come to me. I just have a bit of a toothache."
Nothing else, it's mainly due to internal heat.
"Tell me quickly, what's the solution to this?"
Horus's script fell into Xiao Ning's hands, Han Mingxuan couldn't imagine what he would become.
"The matter is very simple, just four words."
How so?
"Discard the donkey after it has served its purpose."
"True and false?"
Don't tell me you developed feelings for her after only meeting her a few times.
"That's absolutely impossible. Sinleech, you've been dealing with me Han Mingxuan, for quite some time now."
Do you think I, Han Mingxuan, am a person who acts impulsively or emotionally?
That's true.
Han Mingxuan is always a very rational person, no matter the situation.
Moreover, the reason the two of them came to find him so quickly was because Han Mingxuan and that woman had not yet developed a deep bond.
Tell me your detailed method.
"It's simple. First, have that female individual clear out the Tyranids in this universe, then pull her over and clear out the Tyranids from the 30k era."
"During the journey back, I will try to create the illusion of a spacetime turbulence."
"By then, I will completely strip away the Perpetual traits from you."
"But if you do that, by the time you've finished dealing with the 40K stuff and get back to the 30K era, you won't have many years left to live."
After hearing Sinleech's plan, Han Mingxuan fell silent.
Sinleech originally thought that Han Mingxuan had other plans or was hesitant.
However, Han Mingxuan's next words made Sinleech truly realize Han Mingxuan's determination.
"After I've settled things here, I won't go back yet. I'll stay for another 10 or 20 years. You can calculate the time for me, and then send me back when my time comes."
"After stripping away the Perpetual traits, dispose of my body immediately, leaving not a single trace of my genes."
"The destruction of the body and the handling of the other party must be carried out simultaneously. We must absolutely prevent it from discovering anything, and we must also prevent it from affecting humanity."
Is it possible?
Hiss...
"As expected of you, Mr. Han, you're decisive and ruthless. Don't worry, I can handle this."
