Chapter 83 Goodbye, Seeing the Future
"My brother, Horus, I miss you very much too."
Magnus, dressed in a golden scholar's robe, quickly stepped forward, opened his arms and hugged Horus, not minding that the Terminator power armor Horus was wearing was uncomfortable, and patted Horus's back hard.
Seeing the heartwarming scene of the brothers reunited after a long separation, Li Wei, standing not far away, couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. He thought that there was still hope for the emperor's offspring.
Horus's innate charisma as a leader was so infectious that even Livy, an observer, felt his influence and couldn't help but believe in his words. It was like a low-budget version of an emperor, with a succubus-like personal attraction.
No, there are still differences. When Li Wei first saw the Emperor in person, the personal charisma that the Emperor, the Lord of Mankind, deliberately exuded did not actually leave a deep impression on Li Wei, who was already a psionic scholar of the Thousand Sons.
After all, the Emperor's overwhelming attraction was more like a pheromone artificially modified by biologists of the Bright Feather School.
For Li Wei at that time, this only proved that the Emperor, the ruler of mankind, was a powerful psychic and a politician who was extremely good at maintaining his image.
Horus's natural charisma as a leader was not as deliberate as that of an emperor; it was a genuine sincerity and boldness from the inside out that made people truly willing to follow him.
"It seems that Peturabo was lying and sowing discord before."
Li Wei thought to himself.
He recalled his previous conversation with Perturabo, the Primarch of the Iron Warriors. Perturabo's various complaints about Horus, who was favored by the Emperor, seemed more like sour grapes from Perturabo, who desperately craved the Emperor's attention, and was an excuse to maliciously frame Horus.
The next instant, Li Wei, who was still pondering to himself, suddenly found his bright vision turning completely black.
Li Wei, however, felt no fear whatsoever; he was completely used to it, and this was his prophetic ability acting up again.
After his soul-searching encounter with the Midnight Lord Conrad Coz, Levi's vision would suddenly go black without warning, followed by fragmented images of the future.
However, the terrifying scene of the soul possessing the now-skeletal emperor sitting on the golden throne never reappeared.
Instead, some nonsensical future scenes or fragments will appear unconsciously, from which no meaningful conclusions can be drawn at all.
At first, Levi did suspect that Conrad Coates's uncontrollable talent for predicting the future had accidentally affected his soul.
But more than anything, he suspected that this might be a conspiracy by the master of all changes, Tzeentch.
This is to distract oneself, to disturb one's mind, and to take the opportunity to harm oneself.
The vision of the future that Li Wei saw was too abstract and did not cause any harm, except that it would cause him to lose his senses for a moment.
Over time, Li Wei stopped taking it seriously.
This time, the scene before Li Wei's eyes had already turned black, and he was completely plunged into absolute darkness.
He was left with only his instinctive soul, and uncontrollably lunged toward the faint golden light that had reappeared before him.
The moment Li Wei's soul touched the point of light, the scene before his eyes suddenly became clear.
The warship's bridge was a scene of devastation, with broken walls and rubble everywhere, and traces of explosions were everywhere. Two towering Primarchs were fighting to the death, and the aftershocks of the battle even shattered everything that Li Wei could see.
"These are Horus and Saint Gilles? But why is Horus at a disadvantage?!"
Li Wei stared in shock at the horrific battlefield before him, gasping in disbelief. He was about to speak when he realized he couldn't make a sound.
It was at this moment that Li Wei realized that he could not control the body his soul had possessed. He could only watch everything in front of him as an observer, like watching a movie that he could not interfere with.
The next instant, the Shadowmoon Wolf warrior that Li Wei was possessing took a step forward and shouted anxiously:
"Father, please step back immediately! His Majesty the Emperor will arrive soon. Please do not fight the bloodthirsty Saint Gilles!"
His voice was choked with sobs, yet Horus, covered in blood and clad in silver-white Terminator armor, continued his relentless battle against the Primarch of the Blood Angel with its two wings.
Just then, Li Wei, who had been silently observing, was stunned. The Bloodthirsty Saint Gilles? Is that even possible? Isn't Bloodthirst a genetic defect of the Blood Angels? How did it end up being possessed by their Primarch?
Both Horus and Saint Gilles were unarmed, but Saint Gilles, who was already at the peak of thirst and whose face was extremely distorted, firmly held the upper hand.
A moment later, the body that Li Wei possessed desperately tried to rush up to help, but it couldn't keep up with the two of them at all.
Horus, despite his top-tier combat power, was ultimately defeated. The crazed Saint Gilles used his blood-stained, gold-like bone wings to pierce Horus's Terminator power armor, tearing open his chest cavity and causing blood to gush out.
"No, no!" The body possessed by Levi roared, trying to rush forward to stop the crazed Saint Gilles and save the Primarch from imminent death. But every time he tried to move forward, Saint Gilles, who was tearing Horus's body apart, was casually brushed aside.
In the end, Horus completely lost his breath under the frenzied attack of Sanguiles. Even Livy, whose soul was possessed by Horus, felt a heart-wrenching pain, which was the resonance of the death of the Primarch, the source of his bloodline, and a kind of despair that went deep into his bones.
"Horus is dead?"
Li Wei, whose body was ice-cold, didn't even have time to sigh at the excruciating pain he felt; he was more concerned about whether the future before him was real.
He had realized that his sudden prophecy was not so simple; it might be real, or it might be a warning to him.
"No... my brothers, why must you kill yourselves?"
Under a strong sense of soul-pulling, Li Wei's consciousness was gradually forcibly summoned back, and in the next instant, his scattered consciousness suddenly returned to reality.
"Li Wei... What's wrong with Li Wei?"
Magnus's concerned voice pulled Livy back from his wandering thoughts.
Seeing that Livina's empty eyes had regained their clarity, Magnus turned to the smiling Horus and introduced him:
"This is our Qianzi..."
Before Magnus could finish his introduction, Horus, with a hearty laugh, interrupted him, saying:
"This is Li Wei, the chief think tank member of your Qianzi. I have long admired his name. He was quite impressive at the Imperial Think Tank Promotion Conference last time, and he debated with all the scholars."
Horus spoke with utmost seriousness. He did indeed remember the previous meeting, but what he remembered most was Levi's honeyed, venomous mouth, which dared to say anything.
