The Emperor’s Angel of Death

#2338 - Hurry

Kayan's mastery of psychic abilities wasn't just reflected in his own power. As a Thousand Son, his theoretical knowledge was even more extensive and thorough. After a detailed explanation, even a layman like Saushjan could understand. He tilted his head, thought for a moment, and finally said with a wry smile:

"So, I really need a psychic expert by my side. I roughly understand, meaning this power isn't psychic energy in essence. It has no emotions, so it doesn't come from the Warp. But what exactly is it? An energy? Or some unknown substance?"

In response to Saushjan's question, Kayan clapped his hands lightly.

"Your understanding is correct, but this is just my personal opinion. As for what it actually is, I can't say for sure. Perhaps it's some kind of power using real-world rules to 'mimic' this near-psychic phenomenon, or maybe I'm just ignorant and can't recognize this pseudo-psychic energy. Hmm, the things on you have already surpassed all the existing theories I know. The knowledge I possess may not be able to fully explain it. Perhaps the real answer lies in your own search, but I will assist you. After all, to be honest, I'm also very curious about the source of this power. It can instantly transform an anti-psychic field into a psychic superconducting field."

"Thanks for your guidance. Otherwise, I would have always thought this was psychic energy."

"Actually, treating it as psychic energy is fine. No need to be so concerned. As long as it's useful, practicality comes first."

After Kayan finished speaking, he was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly changed the subject.

"Saushjan, you want to conquer Commorragh, right?"

Saushjan neither denied nor admitted it, simply raising his eyebrows, his meaning was clear.

In fact, when he asked the question, he knew Kayan would definitely guess it. The reason he was willing to reveal it to Kayan was because he still believed that even if Kayan entered that organization, he would still be on his side. Strictly speaking, this wasn't based on anything, more just intuition, and the similarities between Kayan and him—they were both people with rich emotions, more able to understand what was truly important.

"This matter is difficult, almost the most difficult thing in the entire galaxy. The waters of Commorragh are even deeper than any we've waded through. On the surface, the masters of Commorragh are the Dark Council, but in reality, the true masters of this corrupt city are the Haemonculus Covens. They control the life and death of every Archon. They also maintain Commorragh's eternally hungry appetite—at the same time, the Aeldari cloning technology is in their hands. Without them, there would be no Commorragh's almost inexhaustible manpower. And no one knows how many monsters they keep in those bottomless, terrifying caverns. In addition, even if you disregard Commorragh's military strength, remember what I said? Commorragh has many Warp gates inside. They are all in a sealed state, but historically, they have been broken. On the other side of these Warp gates are endless legions of daemons. They are like fish in water in the Webway, not restricted by any real-world limitations. Even if you really defeat Vect, he still has a final trump card—to break all the Warp gates. You've seen him, you should have some sense of what kind of person this bastard is. He can do such a thing."

After listening, Saushjan knew these were Kayan's heartfelt words, but he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. Because attacking Commorragh wasn't just to unlock the secrets of the ancient Aeldari Empire, nor was it just to strengthen the power of the Dynasty. More importantly, he realized a problem: no matter how he might try to restrain the Aeldari under the Dynasty in the future, or how he might try to ease the relationship between the Aeldari and the Imperium, Commorragh would always be a thorn. The Imperium wouldn't distinguish which were the fallen. Commorragh's raiding would only make the Imperium hate all Aeldari equally and destroy all possibilities of reconciliation.

Conquering Commorragh was the first major plan he had conceived according to his own will, a plan that might change the future course of the galaxy. Although it seemed reckless and a bit naive, it was at least a step forward.

Things always have to take that first step before there's a road ahead.

Kayan seemed to understand his thoughts and smiled slightly.

"That being said, opportunities are not nonexistent. Commorragh is ultimately a disorganized mess, which means that even if Vect has great abilities, he can't gather all the power. To be honest, my understanding of Commorragh's internal situation is limited. Your Phoenix Lord can understand the truly detailed situation even better, so I can't give much advice. But I think that division, disintegration, finding allies, and finding traitors are the most effective ways to deal with a loose group."

"But the Haemonculus Covens will definitely stand with Vect."

"Ah, that's the theory, but it also depends on your own thoughts, Saushjan. If you are willing to accept the Haemonculus Covens as part of the Aeldari society to continue to exist, I think some things may not be impossible to discuss, right? Those people themselves have no loyalty to speak of. Betraying Vect is no different from performing a surgery. As long as the benefits are right, they can also love the Dynasty, love the Queen."

Saushjan shook his head.

"I will never conspire with them, otherwise the Dynasty will surely repeat the mistakes of the ancient Aeldari Empire."

"That's why I said it depends on your own thoughts. As far as I'm concerned, if we can unite the part that can be united and keep the neutral ones neutral, then Vect and his damn Dark Council are nothing to worry about. But there's one thing you must listen to me."

Kayan's tone suddenly became serious at the end. Saushjan subconsciously asked:

"What?"

"Must be fast! If you really intend to implement this plan, then do it as soon as possible. The sooner the better. If it can be implemented in six months, don't delay it to a year later. If it can be implemented within a year, don't delay it to the second year."

"Why?"

Kayan only said a very short sentence.

"The Grey Seer is accelerating."

The sentence itself was a bit nonsensical, but Saushjan realized the hidden meaning—the time left for him personally might not be much.

Saushjan tightened his face, but then relaxed, nodded, and said very sincerely:

"Thank you, Kayan. I will remember."

"No, you haven't understood what I mean—"

Kayan reached out and dipped some clear water from the cup, then let two drops of water fall on the smooth table. Then the liquids quickly changed. One drop of water turned into a two-headed eagle, and the other drop of water turned into a phoenix. Finally, Kayan dripped another drop of water, and it turned into a scale, and it was in a balanced state.

Saushjan glanced at it and immediately understood Kayan's implication, but he didn't know what to say, so he leaned back slightly.

"Perhaps sometimes I have to do things against my will, but Saushjan, you must believe that I will help you."

After speaking, Kayan got up from the chair and walked towards the door. At the same time, the picture on the table also turned back into a small puddle of clear water.

Until Kayan left the office, Saushjan was still looking at the puddle of water without saying a word, his eyes flickering.
