Casca suddenly remembered a very important blind spot.
When the Interles arrived here, and they fought against the Cainblach people who believed in Chaos, it was the Eldar who brought them this unique technology and understanding of the dangers of Chaos.
It has to be said that the old charlatan finally guessed correctly one of his prophecies.
In fact, they had already formed an inextricable bond with the centaurs back at this time...
So... so everyone's been wearing the [centaur gold ring] all along...
(The fact that Interles' arias can inspire and promote communication, and that he is located in the constellation Centaurus, are official settings. See Rise of Horus for details.)
(The centaur gold ring is real; he wasn't just making it up, I'm telling you.)
.......
"Ah!"
"Forgrim!"
The musicians from the Interles Federation complemented the performance on stage perfectly.
The instruments in front of you, played with fingers flying across the keys, produce beautiful music that almost sparks, making you feel like you're right there in the music. Even the original pieces composed by Terra's master musicians pale in comparison.
"—Centaurus Rex ↓!!!"
As the last syllable fell, an unimaginable golden light shone through the tireless performance of the musicians.
It seems that after receiving assistance from the musician Metzi, the Centaur Gold Ring has been greatly enhanced once again.
"What is that?!"
"It's a centaur! The real centaurs have revealed themselves!"
"How is this going?"
A dazzling golden light instantly converged, forming a solid, golden centaur.
As a mascot and symbol of the Interles, the centaur has always been widely associated with their culture.
However, appearing in legends and appearing in reality are two different concepts.
The Interlesian envoys could never have imagined that golden centaurs would actually appear beside them like something out of a myth.
They really do help them and dispel the darkness.
The golden light continued to gather, and the pupils of the medzio musician, who was still playing, shimmered with a dazzling golden flame.
The light emanating from them was so tangible that it instantly condensed into a dazzling golden spear, which was held in the centaur's hand.
He leaned back on the right side of his body, which held the spear, and the golden spear in his hand flew out in the next instant.
—Straight to Magnus!
......
Click.
Before the Crimson King could react, a mysterious, dazzling light froze everything in an instant.
Even if the spirit of the centaur is powerful, the power projection it can generate in the face of a true warp chaos god is still insufficient to shake the opponent.
This pause in time and space was not solely the work of the Myriad Transformations Demon Lord, the Weaver of Fate, Carlos.
Even the master of all transformations, Tzeentch himself, couldn't restrain himself at this moment and chose to project his ever-changing magical power onto the "Spirit of the Imperial Two-Headed Eagle," thus controlling everything under the guise of Carlos, the Pokémon.
It didn't just freeze the two Primarchs and Kasgar in an instant.
Even the golden centaur's spear was suspended in mid-air, unable to advance an inch.
The Lord of Changes bought Carlos the Weaver of Fate a period of time, an opportunity.
A chance to see Casca's inner thoughts.
At that very moment, the Pokémon of the Fate Weaver, which resembled the Imperial Double-Headed Eagle, suddenly transformed into its most commonly used form.
"quack!"
With his right hand supporting the Staff of Tomorrow, which was radiating metamorphic flames, Carlos let out a triumphant shriek. His multiple eyes, emitting a strange light, met those of Kasgar, who was trapped in a time-stopped state.
His eyes pierced Casca's soul.
......
This is a unique and ever-changing strange space.
Carlos brought his chosen Casca here.
Here, he could use his wisdom and boundless power of change to twist the very person whom the Imperial Warmaster Vograim trusted most.
Once his soul is captured, the War General will naturally be no problem.
If such a great feat could be accomplished, and the war commander of the cursed one could be successfully brought into the embrace of the Lord of Change... then the Weaver of Fate, Carlos, would surely gain the other party's supreme favor.
As Carlos gazed at the Casca soul, which seemed to be awakening from a deep dream, countless eyes on the heads of his two birds gleamed with shrewdness.
"Ask me questions, human."
"I will tell you all knowledge, and I will clear away all your doubts."
This is the most common tactic used by the Tzeentch demons.
They rely on others' curiosity and use knowledge as bait to lure people.
As long as the other party has even the slightest curiosity about the future and the unknown, Carlos is confident that he can lead them astray with his silver tongue.
Especially those like Kasgar who believed in hope and that the human empire could still be saved.
Carlos had already prepared those malicious answers.
Each of his answers contained nine possible interpretations, each with nine possible variations, and each variation contained nine metaphors.
"quack!"
As if mocking humanity's incompetence and stupidity, Carlos shouted again.
Unlike other ever-changing demon lords, the Weaver of Fate Carlos has two heads, in other words, bird heads.
One head can see hidden things that happened in the past, while the other head can see an infinite future.
Carlos possesses unparalleled power compared to other shape-shifting demon lords, but he also has a weakness—
It cannot see the present.
In his omens of the future, he saw Casca fall for his trick and was asking him questions.
This already foreshadows the inevitable outcome—as long as one is interested in Carlos's knowledge, there are 99999 ways to seduce Carlos into corruption.
In the Warhammer world, knowledge is a curse.
The worst-case scenario is that he might act like a brute like Khorne, howling and swinging his power sword at its head—that would be disastrous.
"Can you really tell me the answers to everything?"
Kasga, dazed and confused after being struck in the soul by Carlos, asked the question.
“That’s right…yes, I can provide whatever you want to know,” one of its heads said in a sweet, low voice.
"All the answers! Everything you want to know!"
Another head screamed and shouted at the same time.
Tell me... what's in your heart...
"What exactly are they yearning for...?"
......
"You can really answer my questions? And you won't lie at all?!"
Casca was still hesitating.
This made the Weaver of Fate somewhat impatient: Just ask!
Is there anything that Tzeentch doesn't know?
Can you ask this more openly?
What kind of behavior is this, all so hesitant and timid?
You can sense Casca's curiosity on one hand, and his hesitation on the other; this back-and-forth tug-of-war is truly frustrating.
Is there anything I, Carlos, cannot say?
what?
"That's right... Trust us, we never lie."
"Feel free to ask questions; we will answer everything we know to the best of our ability!"
The Myriad Transformations Demon Lord does not lie; they only make certain corrections to the truth.
"it is good."
Casca's soul seemed to have made up its mind.
“The treacherous one…”
"Did she really have nine children with the Dragon Emperor?"
......
The bird's head to Carlos's left: "..."
The bird head to Carlos's right: "..."
The two bird heads stared at each other in bewilderment.
What is the Dragon Emperor?
What does it mean to have nine children?
Casca's question was as absurd and illogical as asking him if he wanted to mix No. 42 concrete into his pasta.
But it was at this crucial moment that he asked the question.
I don't know, it's the bird's head on the left. Why don't you go take a look?
The Weaver of Fate, Carlos, possesses the power to see through the entire past.
With the blessing of the Lord of All Changes, it can even see the answers to everything in the world.
Including parallel worlds.
"Gah! What...what is this!?"
A piece of malicious knowledge instantly flooded into the Weaver of Fate's two heads.
That's a story that happened in a parallel world.
An equally powerful and terrifying being, the Dragon Emperor!
He is pressuring the Lord of Change.
The Dragon Emperor insulted the Lord of Myriad Changes, strong alkali!
That's how powerful the Dragon Emperor is! Domineering! Bending! Strong!
"Oh my god... This is, this is part of the plan! Oh my god!"
Even the mighty Lord of All Changes trembles beneath the Dragon Emperor only after relinquishing all his power of change!
She even had nine children!
Dragon Emperor... Invincible under heaven!
......
It has always been the ever-changing Demon Lord who uses knowledge to curse mortals.
But today's Carlos... he is cursed by mortal knowledge!
What's this?
While I, the Weaver of Fate, Carlos, was unaware, Lord of Change, what were you doing...?
“Answer my question.”
The information, like a death knell, overwhelmed Carlos, who was trying to process the incredibly explosive news.
