Chapter 62 Vashtor's Submission
Chapter 62 Vashtor's Submission
Ordinary people cannot survive in the warp, not even Space Marines.
In other words, only after Li Wei entered the realm of a formal wizard and became a darling of the warp could he physically enter the warp without being torn apart by the omnipresent energy turbulence of the warp.
Unexpectedly, the World Eater Primarch Angron did not immediately perish in this dangerous warp. Instead, he treated the formless and intangible warp turbulence as solid ground, and charged towards him with overwhelming killing intent.
It's important to understand that there's no solid ground in the warp; all warp creatures and psykers can only levitate and move by utilizing the turbulent energy currents of the warp.
But Angron actually managed to walk on the turbulent waters as if they were flat ground; the emperor's offspring are indeed formidable.
"Unfortunately, this is my home turf."
Seeing Angron charging towards him, Li Wei waved his hand, and the raging warp currents around Angron, like a black tide that had been tamed and brought to life, transformed into countless icy tentacles that tightly bound the ferocious Angron.
Before long, Angron, unable to move, was trapped in the void like a flying insect caught in a spider web.
After a short while, as subspace energy surged into his body, Li Wei's aching chest received continuous nourishment, and his injuries were mostly healed.
Only then did he have time to examine Angron's nearly naked body, his muscles bulging to their limit, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression, but the uncontrolled madness on his face made Li Wei shake his head helplessly.
The enraged Angron struggled wildly and roared incessantly in front of Livy.
The roars somewhat disrupted Li Wei's thoughts as he pondered how to deal with this extremely troublesome World Eater Primarch.
When he was sent flying by Angron's punch, he felt a strong killing intent. But after calming down, he realized that he couldn't kill Angron. After all, Angron's status was too noble for him to afford to offend.
But now he has another idea.
He wanted to punish Angron, but he also wanted to control the World Eater Legion through Angron.
The quick-thinking Li Wei immediately moved to a spot of dense, inky warp turbulence, and helplessly slapped his forehead:
"Vashtor, why are you hiding?"
From the pitch-black subspace turbulence before Li Wei's eyes, a gray figure slowly emerged. He patted the oil stains off his clothes and chuckled dryly:
"Hehe, I was just watching the adults disciplining the emperor's offspring, so I dared not disturb them."
"Heh, you're overthinking it. I am injured, but I wouldn't kill indiscriminately for my own safety. No, I wouldn't kill demons."
Li Wei touched his chest, which was almost fully healed, and said calmly.
Seeing Vashtor's cautious demeanor, he knew that it was Vashtor's demonic instincts at work.
He feared that the injured Li Wei would become like a wild beast out of control, indiscriminately attacking any living creature nearby.
Even if he were completely out of his mind, Li Wei would never lay a hand on his own men.
Li Wei found Vashtor's timid and hesitant appearance somewhat amusing.
He never expected that after he bestowed upon Vashtor the array that could dismantle everything, the latter would voluntarily pledge allegiance to him.
Moreover, fearing that Livy wouldn't believe him, Vashtor took the initiative to draft a contract, a master-servant contract, with Livy as the master, through which he could control Livy's life.
But Li Wei didn't even look at it before burning the harsh contract, and simply accepted Vashtor as his servant.
It's not that Li Wei is arrogant, but that he actually believed in the devil's contract, which would be truly insane.
As for creating a contract to bind Vashtor, there's no need for that. Demons' ability to manipulate words, exploit loopholes, and break promises is unmatched by humans.
If Li Wei believed that he could control Vashtor, the infamous figure in the future 40K era who coveted the divine position of "Vicious Arts," with just a master-servant contract, he would be insane.
This loose cooperative relationship is already quite good.
"My lord?" Vashtor's eyes lit up, and he excitedly pointed to Angron, who was still trying to break free of his restraints in the distance. "Could I turn this son of the emperor into a demon engine?"
"The Demon Engine?" Levi was taken aback; Vashtor's suggestion hit the nail on the head.
He wants to deal with Angron, or rather, deal with Angron's soul.
Because Li Wei felt that subjecting a mad Primarch to physical torment might be a reward in some sense.
Only by truly punishing Angron's unruly soul can we do justice to Leo's spirit in heaven.
He also planned to use psionic magic to extract Angron's soul and then control his body to command the World Eater Legion.
As for why Angron's soul wasn't completely obliterated, the reason is simple: he had a good father. The Emperor might not love his child, but he wouldn't allow an outsider to kill him.
There is another reason: at the moment the Primarch dies, his offspring have a soul resonance, which would completely ruin his plan to control the World Eaters army.
So after much deliberation, the only option was to temporarily seal away Angron's soul, and Vashtor's suggestion perfectly aligned with Livy's thoughts.
He needed to punish Angron and transform him into a permanent demon engine, so that Angron would suffer endless torment within the demon engine forever. This suited his needs, and he would also gain a powerful combat force. It was truly a win-win situation.
Overjoyed, Li Wei didn't hesitate to pat Vashtor's greasy shoulder and said with satisfaction:
"Vashtor, your suggestion is excellent. I've gained a great assistant."
"Huh?" Vashtor was taken aback. He had only mentioned it casually and hadn't expected Levi to agree.
He knew that Levi was the chief strategist of the Thousand Sons and had a close relationship with Magnus, the Thousand Sons' Primarch, and was a loyal Astartes warrior of the Empire.
Magnus and Angron are brothers, and Levi's decision to turn against Angron and agree to his suggestion to turn Angron into a demon engine to suffer eternal torment was truly unexpected.
However, it is precisely this decisive and ruthless master who is worthy of my following.
......
Three days later, in the Demon Factory of Vashtor, in a secret room of that Golden Age colonial ship.
Under dim lighting.
Li Wei stared in astonishment at the gentle and refined, clear-eyed, white-glowing soul form of Angron before him.
Only now did he realize that he shouldn't have gone to such great lengths to completely separate Angron's soul from his body. This freed Angron's soul from the butcher's nail that had been clinging to his bones like a leech, and restored his clear mind.
The spirit form of Angron was facing Li Wei at this moment, speaking sincerely:
"Lord Levi, thank you for your help. I am deeply sorry for Leo's death. You may punish me however you wish, but please do not put my soul back into that body with the butcher's nail."
Before he finished speaking, he raised his hand and pointed to a spot not far away.
There, his body, still controlled by the Butcher's Nails, was staring wide-eyed, chasing after Vashtor with endless questions like a curious child.
