As long as you die, you are invincible, but in 40K

"I was the one who sent her to see you, 'the one who was prophesied'."

"You asked her to kill me?"

"That was her decision, and because of that, when she asked for help, we made our decision."

Making a decision means selling out your teammates, right?

The original guess turned out to be correct. Not only was Keti sold, but she was sold by her own people, and she didn't even know it herself.

But Cati herself is really talented enough. She knows that her decision is contrary to her boss's, but she still runs back to her boss to borrow people. Did she burn her brain out from playing with psychics?

"Let's put aside the past and talk about the present. Since you don't like to talk in circles like others, I'll ask you directly: What exactly is the prophecy you are talking about?"

"'Prophecy' means 'unpredictable'. Well, just understand it as meaning the 'future' disappears."

"..."

Zhang Ge tried to understand, but then he said wisely:

"Let me be clear, I don't want any ambiguity in this conversation."

"If a bullet were fired at you, there are various possibilities: 'avoiding it,' 'being hit and killed,' 'being hit and surviving,' and so on. These possibilities are interwoven, circling the long axis of space-time, together forming 'the future.' Yet, as we grope upward along this long axis, we suddenly realize that somewhere in the future, it has vanished... or rather, it has vanished."

"Are you trying to say that the core of this phenomenon is me, the one you call the prophesied one?"

"To have such a fate rest upon one individual is a misfortune for both races. Unfortunately, we can only give you an answer that is 'confirmed'."

Zhang Ge touched his chin and finally understood what this thing was farting.

Simply put, these elves cannot predict their own fate or the fate of the things around them, so they mistakenly believe that they are a "black hole" that affects the future.

At the same time, they could not determine the principle of this "black hole", so further, they could not confirm whether such a phenomenon would change due to Zhang Ge's death, life or any other state.

It would be fine if it simply disappeared, but what if the opposite happened? For example, if it expanded to the point of swallowing up the entire "future" on the so-called "long axis of space-time"?

The risk is too great. If it were to happen, even in the best case scenario, the entire Eldar race's ability to predict would be completely ineffective.

Of course, in reality, it may not just be the Eldar’s ability to predict that will disappear.

"So your Ark came for this matter. I thought you would really mobilize such a large force for a few compatriots."

"..."

This sentence did not get her response. It was obvious that for the elves, whether they valued the lives of their compatriots was a sensitive topic, even for someone of her status.

"Now that we understand the reason, tell me, what do you want?"

"you."

"I?"

"Stay aboard the Ark, and you will gain longevity, pleasure, knowledge... or whatever you can imagine."

"Well, that's a nice offer—but unfortunately, I love nothing more than saying no to those self-righteous people."

It seems that although the elves on the opposite side sound normal in their words, they are actually still the same in their bones. Let’s not even mention whether they will build a zoo and throw bananas in it and think that it is "satisfying anything the monkeys can think of". Even if they can really provide everything that ordinary people want, the question is, is Zhang Ge an ordinary person?

"Alien."

After Zhang Ge said this in a mocking tone, the other party's face finally showed some fluctuation.

That's the expression of "as expected."

"Ok."

As the Eldar spoke, a faint tremor began to come from the soles of everyone's feet.

A miniature webway gate rose up behind them... Although it was miniature, it was still tiny compared to the webway gate that was tens of thousands of kilometers long.

To everyone, it was undoubtedly a behemoth. When its entire body emerged from the ground, the top was at least two or three hundred meters away from the surface.

Ok?

Why didn't the tremors stop?

A bad premonition began to rise in the heart of the Eldar, and she and the guards around her were not the only ones who took warning.

There is also an Eldar "Phantom" Titan stepping out of the Webway Gate.

This behemoth is the Eldar's second largest giant weapon after the War Titan. It will only appear on the most intense and unavoidable battlefields, confronting the enemy head-on with the most powerful firepower and heavy armor.

Every step it took lifted up countless pieces of soil and vegetation in the garden, and after completely leaving the webway gate, it made a counter-attacking gesture with extremely agile movements for a creature of this size.

It’s getting closer, right in front of you.

Unlike the infantry on the ground who were kept in the dark, in the sight of this Phantom Titan, a huge energy source was approaching at high speed in the direction he was facing, and it was also the cause of the tremors that had not stopped yet.

"Avoid."

But as the enemy got closer, the energy source became clearer, and the Phantom Titan suddenly took a step back, speaking seriously in the language of the Eldar.

He saw it.

That's not an enemy at all.

Instead, it was a pile of dragged wreckage.

Among them are Phantom Titans like him, as well as smaller Ghost Titans.

After counting carefully, there were actually four or five of them.

Their overall scars were inconsistent, but what was the same was that their heads were cut off and missing, and their bodies were dragged by mechanical tentacles, connecting to... the sky?

Why is the Probe View unresponsive?

Although it sounded like a long sentence, in fact, the thinking only lasted for a moment. To outsiders, it seemed that the Phantom Titan had noticed something and started to look up almost the next second after the words fell.

However, this is a clash between Titans.

Just one second late can mean the difference between life and death.

Chapter 280: Unparalleled, the First of Ten Thousand Armies

A Titan Warrior with flames spewing from its back and a slightly damaged surface appeared in the Phantom's eyepiece.

Without any hesitation, the moment it saw the enemy, due to the Phantom Titan's exquisite combat skills, the space distortion cannon on its left arm also completed the fine adjustment to point to the target, and finally started with almost no delay.

This weapon, which can be called a "dimensional cannon" or simply a "distortion cannon", has extremely powerful effectiveness. It can tear a tiny subspace wormhole in the real universe and completely crush the target by gravity or tearing from the subspace.

Normally, if delivered accurately enough, a single such attack would be enough to shatter several super-heavy tanks, or even severely damage a Warlord Titan.

But first, Olivia is no ordinary Titan.

Secondly, she didn't intend to just sit there and be the target of a precise attack.

At the moment the distortion cannon was fired, the abnormal parameters of gravity immediately appeared in Olivia's perception... As expected, the location was right in front of her. It was an extremely accurately calculated prediction. If nothing unexpected happened, if she continued to move downward like this, the wormhole would be completely formed in Olivia's body and cut her in half.

However, now that this has been said, it is of course impossible for nothing unexpected to happen.

Everyone saw Olivia twisting her body in the air at an incredibly fast speed. The movement was extremely smooth, and even the rich mechanical sound produced by the movement was pleasant to the ear, like the sound of a rapidly rotating turret or a circle of high-speed running bearings.

It was with these sounds and movements that the thrusters on her back pushed her slightly to the right.

This short distance is insignificant for normal combat, but it just allows Olivia's main structure to avoid the subspace wormhole generated by the distortion cannon. The gravitational hell that appeared the next moment only tore off part of Olivia's back armor in vain, and at the same time cut off the connection between the flight kit and her.

But she no longer needs to fly.

Letting inertia take over, after her body passed through the wormhole that crushed and tore apart countless ceramic steel metals, Olivia's body did not stop spinning, but turned a full circle before landing.

With a roaring sound like a storm, it turned around when it was about to hit the Phantom Titan. At the same time, the Axe of Ohm Messiah in its hand, which was also rotating and pulled in a circle, also carried kinetic energy and chopped horizontally.

The ground was torn up.

The two giants clashed at this moment.

The loud explosion tore the eardrums of the ants on the ground, and the spreading sound waves and air waves even shattered the surrounding crystal windows. The countless soils directly under the feet of the Phantom Titan that were hit by the impact splashed and exploded, causing the Titan's long legs to penetrate more than ten meters into the ground and plow several meters away.

He blocked the attack.

Before this confrontation took place.

The Phantom Titan did not panic after his attack missed. Faced with the amazing performance displayed by the seemingly crudely made enemy, he simply calmly updated his cognition based on the maneuverability displayed by the opponent when he turned around, and changed his body posture, making the power sword on his right arm his main weapon.

Sure enough, the next moment after changing his posture, the opponent's attack came.

There is a brief stalemate at the moment.

The electronic eyes of the two heads, flashing with cold light, looked at each other for a moment.

It was at this moment that, although theoretically emotions could not be captured from electronic eyes, the Phantom Titan seemed to vaguely see indifference in the other's eyes, as if he was looking at a dead object.

No, something is wrong.

And the next moment, as Olivia's feet landed on the ground, the abnormality that the Phantom Titan saw became the last scene he could see.

Several mechanical tentacles extended from the long-handled axe that was engaged with the power sword. While wrapping around the sword, they also stabbed fiercely into the ground.

His weapon was restrained.

Although it would only take less than half a second to break free, the other party did not give him that half a second.

Olivia released her hand from the axe handle and headed straight for the Phantom Titan's head. Since the opponent was about ten meters shorter than the War Titan, this action seemed particularly easy.

Pinch and pull up.

Pipes, liquids, and fragments of spirit bones.

Everything rushed out from the opponent's severed "neck" as the movement progressed.

The Phantom Titan, who had lost control, stood still for a moment before slowly kneeling on the ground with another loud noise, and then fell further forward.

Another victim appeared.

Olivia also fixed another Phantom Titan's head on the outside of her thigh... This was the third one, and on the other side were three Revenant Titan's heads.

To be honest, these alien creatures are much stronger than Olivia imagined. Although she is confident that she can win in a one-on-one situation, if it is a one-on-two situation, there may be uncertainties. Fortunately, these things do not gather in groups like the small knight mechas, and it takes a long time to encounter one.

However, she did not stay in the battle for too long. She just picked up the Axe of Ohm Messiah again, connected another piece of debris, and turned her body towards Zhang Ge who had called her here not long ago.

Well... the dust generated by the collision between the two and the other's fall to the ground is still flying and spreading, so from a conventional optical perspective, you can only see a pile of earth-colored dust.

However, even without communication, the little tacit understanding between Zhang Ge and Olivia still exists.

After she switched to thermal vision, she saw Zhang Ge giving a "little" thumbs-up as expected.

Meanwhile, amidst the countless dust and ashes, the Eldar leader did not launch any further attacks. After Olivia cleanly and neatly knocked down a Phantom Titan in front of her, she became noticeably more communicative.

"Wait, we can change the terms!"

"Alien, stop trying to deceive me with your rhetoric. Accept the fate that you and your filthy creation will share."

"Listen to me first. If you don't want to stay on the Ark, then you can find another way. We can provide berths for your ships and guide you through the Eldar's webway!"

"Ok?"

At first glance, it seems like this won't do Zhang Ge any good, but if you think about it carefully...

On the one hand, if such a thing were discovered by the empire, it would definitely start with the death penalty, and on the other hand, the fast network path could also help Zhang Ge rush to the next battle in time after finishing one battle.

This can even normalize the risks of webway navigation. After all, according to the original plan, what Zhang Ge wanted to do was to cross the webway without guidance. One or two times could be explained as an emergency, but more than that would definitely not be justified. But now it is different. We can use the Ark for a long time. Although the risk of a single time is reduced, it is a sure profit in the long run.

Compared to hoping that the Ark's secondary explosion and the defensive power on it can kill me, it seems that agreeing to the other party is not a bad idea?

However, there are still two small problems - one is, what benefits does this bring to the Eldar, and why do they put forward such conditions?

The second was, if I agreed, how would I explain to Beavis that he had sacrificed an entire fleet of ships and personnel?

Chapter 281: The Taixia Alliance, and that to succeed you need power and background

After further conversations with the elves, Zhang Ge gradually discovered that they were willing to relax the conditions not because doing so could bring them much benefit - but only to avoid much greater harm.

Simply put, it is to give up part of the interests to ensure that they can at least take Zhang Ge's general range of activities into consideration, so as not to be completely in the dark about such things that may affect the future destiny of the entire elves.

Opening the Ark and walking on the Webway are just small things. Even if it wastes some time, it is better than a major event that may at least make the prophetic ability invalid.

If this really happened, the impact on the Eldar would be no less than the impact of the Great Rift on the Empire - at least that's what they themselves estimated.

However, what Zhang Ge didn't know was that this was not all bad for Samhan.
