Traveling through time, I'm making pancakes in Warhammer

Chapter 489 Shell

The bullet hit the noise point on the other side, and the fog, which should have been beyond the narrative layer like Howard and others, reacted. It contracted and expanded violently as if it had life, and finally, after an inaudible sound, the fog dissipated.

At first, the guard who was about to kill Howard seemed to have the ability to detect these observers, but lacked the means to attack them. Later, whether it was the demons or other human warriors, they lacked the means to detect or attack them. But now, this woman of unknown origin possessed the power to both detect and attack the observers.

The recording paused and laughter came from beside Howard. It was Hai Wei'an laughing.

The laughter of this undead was not a restrained smile, nor was it a crazy laugh, but a very lively and slightly ungraceful "giggle", just like a child who saw something very funny.

After realizing Howard was looking at her, Hai Wei'an took two seconds to calm down her laughter. She also turned her face away, as if she was embarrassed by her own gaffe. When she finally calmed down, she said to Howard:

"Um...I'm sorry, I couldn't control my emotions."

It is said that the undead do not actually have emotions. A more accurate statement would be that the program controlling Haivian's body just now judged that if the necrophile named Isis saw this scene, she would laugh like this, so she gave the command to make her laugh as well.

"But please understand, every time I replay the recording, the unidentified observer gets hit by a bullet, so I find it funny."

Howard was slightly surprised: "You mean, the bullet fired in the record hit an observer now?!"

"Yes," Hai Wei'an answered directly. "The observation anchor point is unique in time and space, existing simultaneously in the past, present, and future, and will not disappear until the observer dies. If that bullet just now was fired at us, we must respond, otherwise there is also the risk of injury. And if I choose to replay this recording a thousand times, then that unknown observer will have to face a thousand bullets fired at him."

Then Hai Wei'an said, "Of course, playing the recording a thousand times will consume a huge amount of energy. If we want to provoke them, we have more effective methods."

Howard nodded. He had no idea what was going on, but that didn't stop him from understanding it. It was just like his brain couldn't imagine higher-dimensional spaces, but that didn't stop him from understanding those concepts from a mathematical and physical perspective.

Then Howard asked, "The person you want me to see is probably the one who just exiled the demon, right? I guess she's the ancestor of the Helvetic family because I saw the emblem on her hat."

"No." Unexpectedly, Hai Wei'an gave a negative answer: "I want to see it."

Then Hai Weiyan said, "But your guess is correct. Her name is Hildra, but at that time, the concept of the Helvensin family did not exist. The family would not officially appear until three hundred years later. She was not supposed to appear here, but..."

But Hai Weiyan didn't say the rest of the words in the end. Then she waved her hand and said to Howard:

"Don't dwell on these insignificant episodes anymore. I know what you want to see most. Come with me."

On the rest of the journey, Hevian and Howard did not encounter any other obstacles and did not stop. Soon they arrived at the final destination of this trip, the command bridge of the Spirit of Vengeance.

And this is where the Lord of Humanity and his rebellious son Shouguizi had their decisive battle ten thousand years ago.

Howard's gaze began at his feet and slowly moved out into the distance. He saw feathers again, countless white feathers scattered on the ground, all stained with mud and blood, blending into a ball. Then he saw the giant's corpse, its chest dented, the Holy Blood Eye on its armor also obscured by blood and shredded flesh.

Howard's gaze did not linger on the giant's corpse for too long. He continued to look forward. Finally, after passing the giant's corpse and countless fighting humans and demons, Howard finally saw the existence he had always wanted to see.

Lord of mankind.

This was the second time Howard saw the appearance of the Lord of Mankind since he came to this world. The first time was when he was abducted into the palace of Slaanesh and the demon disguised himself as the Emperor and tried to deceive him.

So in this case, this was actually the first time he saw the emperor's appearance.

Then he felt disappointed.

Howard originally thought that he would see the truest side of the Lord of Mankind.

But what he witnessed at this moment was the Lord of Humanity, clad in golden armor, holding a burning blade, and surrounded by light, as if he embodied all the glory of humanity in one.

However, Howard knew that this was not the true face of the Emperor.

In the descriptions of some Warhammer works, the Sister of Silence, who is born with the ability to block psychic energy, looks at the throne and sees not a glorious and majestic giant, nor a rotten corpse, but an ordinary and tired middle-aged man.

However, the perspective of the Sister of Silence may not necessarily be the complete picture of the Lord of Mankind. In many works, some people have had a glimpse of the essence of the Lord of Mankind for various reasons. From the perspectives of different people at these different opportunities, the Emperor is sometimes a white-haired old man, sometimes countless stacked faces, and sometimes simply a shining star.

All of these more or less touched upon the essence of the Emperor, and any one of them was better than the magnificent and perfect shell that Howard saw at this moment.

In contrast, the rebellious Shouguizi on the other side was much more "real". Howard saw not only the corrupted bald warmaster, but also the energies of mutual repulsion and collision in the warmaster's body, as well as the power that restrained these energies.

It seems that the true appearance of the Lord of Mankind has not yet been revealed.

At the site of the decisive battle, the noise points representing the observers also increased, but no noise point could really get close to the core of the battlefield.

Hildra was undoubtedly a strong person, but no matter how strong she was, she could not be stronger than the two people who were currently fighting. However, she was able to easily shatter an observation anchor point. This showed that those seemingly superior observers were not necessarily that strong. It was just that the forces participating in the war at this location and time were not willing to waste their time on them.

Howard was still walking forward unconsciously when he was stopped by Hai Wei'an.

"It's fine here." Hai Wei'an said to Howard, "If we continue to move forward, we will attract unnecessary attention, and their attacks will also affect us."

So Howard stood still, and Hai Weiyan snapped her fingers, and the recording continued to play.
