Fernando sat across from Hugo, looking at Hugo seriously.

"You mean, when that recruit touched you, you felt that your psionic energy was suppressed?"

Ugo nodded silently.

"But you didn't feel unwell until you had full contact with him."

"Yes, teacher."

Fernando was silent. In terms of ability alone, this is very similar to an untouchable.

But no untouchables he'd ever seen or come into contact with had ever been so strange as this new recruit.

Fernando remembered again, after the duel between Ugo and Hades, Barasin had a meaningful conversation with him.

"The recruit, Hades, had received a weapon from the Emperor."

"It's a scythe, but Sister Silence holds it the whole time."

Barasin glanced at him again.

"Fernando, you're still not very good at disguising."

"You've clearly changed since that hulk incident."

Fernando was silent.

But Barasin pressed no further,
"I don't know psionics, but I believe in you. If you need it, come to me."

"Also, don't be too burdened. In my emergency plan, there has always been a response plan for the leakage of the library's psionic energy."

"I have also been paying attention to the black ships in this star field, and I can contact them at any time."

Fernando spoke, his voice was hoarse,

"if."

If this kind of thing is discovered, will their army really not be cleared?

Did Barasin really know the seriousness of this matter, or did he just guess?
Fernando didn't know.

But he still prefers to resolve the matter internally.

"...No, thank you, Barasin."

Even though that recruit might not be untouchable, as long as he has the corresponding abilities, it's okay.

It has to be done ASAP "it" is growing
He needed to see the recruit as soon as possible before making a decision.

Perhaps at this time, he needs a divination.

Endurance, Think Tank Library.

just now.
.
This is a library exclusively managed by the Death Guard think tank. Countless collections of books are densely packed on the bookshelves, among which there are many rare originals. The wisdom of thousands of years sleeps here.

The library, which was originally relatively bright, was completely turned off at this moment, and silent darkness enveloped the entire room.

In the center of the library, surrounded by bookshelves, some white light shone faintly——

Fernando was sitting in the middle of the library, with a set of pure black playing cards in front of him.

Around his body, some blood-stained and old weapons were placed in an orderly manner. The sword, the bolter, and the three unlit candles of the melta gun were interspersed in an orderly manner.

Some of these weapons are the weapons used by the ancient think tanks, and some are the glory bestowed by the Emperor after the victory of the war.

Golden prayers were densely engraved on the ground, centered on Fernando and the empty space opposite him, and radiating outward.

As if alive, the content of these prayers is constantly twisting.

Fernando closed his eyes tightly, and psychic lightning danced around his head, like a white crown of thorns.

There was still half a standard Terra hour before the time he had agreed to meet with Hades.

If they are untouchables, they cannot directly intervene in divination, and their existence will destroy the connection between psykers and the subspace.

Therefore, Fernando can only choose a time and space close to Hades, and replace the occupant with an empty seat.

In this world, capable psykers will use different methods, in the name of prophecy, to capture psionic fluctuations from subspaces that have no concept of time, so as to interpret their past, present, and future.

The think tank in the legion will also perform divination and predict the situation before each important battle.

In combat, it is also very common to predict the actions of the opponent in a short period of time.

Fernando subdued his will, and according to his usual feeling of divination, he devoted himself to communicating with the subspace.

The white light exploded, and the prayers began to glow faintly, as if they were alive, twisting continuously, climbing onto the placed weapons, like golden chains, fastening them tightly.

The stack of tarot cards suddenly floated up, its front and back sides were pure black, and began to shuffle in a dizzying way.

The tarot cards floated, and soon became a well-arranged arch, with a large gap between each card.

This time, Fernando chose the Holy Triangle for divination based on the latest astrology.

Shuffle the deck three times and draw a seventh card representing [past], [present] and [future].

The tarot cards began to rotate, and a tear of blood left the corner of Fernando's eye.

one two three four five six--

seven!
As if suddenly pulled away by a huge force, the seventh card quickly drew a curve in the air, and landed straight on one of the third points of the circular prayer.

Sparks flickered, and a candle burst into flames.

[Past] has been decided.

The remaining cards floating in the air rotate quickly, move the trajectory, and reshuffle the order again.

seven.

A card was suddenly drawn, and at the same time, flames burst into flames on the candle.

[Now] is clear.

The power of the subspace drives the appearance of the last card.

seven.

The last candle was lit, and the tarot cards fell silently on the circle.

[The future] is coming.

The rest of the Tarot cards returned to their places one by one, the fluctuations of spiritual energy began to shrink, and the glowing prayers gradually faded. Soon, except for the three Tarot cards lying quietly and the three burning candles, everything was gone again. All returned to their original state.

+a sneer+
Fernando opened his eyes, and tears of blood flowed down his face.

On the black surface, cumbersome and complex patterns began to appear.

The first card, in the direction facing Fernando, is rendered with bright yellow light, and a full circle rises——

[sidereal inversion]

Because it is a substitute, facing Fernando's reverse position means Hades' upright position.

The divination tablets of the two of them are exactly the opposite.

However, divination will also reflect the fate of the fortune-teller.

The upright position of the stars means hope and the realization of ideals.

Does this refer to Hades on Barbarus, helping the Primarch unify the planet?
But Fernando, the stellar inverse, felt his heart skip a beat.

Failed, helpless... and he remembered again, the stellar emblem engraved on that hulk.

No, no, divination will not account for such concrete things.

Fernando stabilized his mentality, concentrated his attention, and went to check the next card.

Outlined by straight lines, the huge aesthetic machine that occupies the entire card surface slowly steps out——

[Titan upright]
Titans, these powerful war machines on the battlefield, being upright means taking the initiative, seizing the opportunity, and—frankly.

Perhaps, in a conversation with Hades later, Fernando should be more frank.

Reversed means loss of control, accidents, and plans being shattered.

Fernando frowned, maybe he should remind the next visitor.

And the third card symbolizes the future——

Weird colors were splashed on the card in a disorderly manner, with no rules at all, no rules to follow, and random lines twisted and filled it.

[Wheel of Fate]
However, the only place where positive and negative positions can be distinguished is a hollow, as if burned by fire——

This card is twisted! ! !
Not to mention that in the previous divination, Fernando had never occupied this card, even in the previous battle where the legion suffered tragic sacrifices, he had never occupied this card!
Not to mention, the positive and negative positions of this card are distorted!

[Wheel of Fortune] Upright position is opportunity and transformation, while reverse position is failure caused by misjudgment.

But under normal circumstances, [Wheel of Fortune] will not appear. The symbolic meaning of this card is really too great.

Fernando was silent.

The door of the library was pushed open, and Hades walked in according to the agreed time——

Then he saw Fernando, who was crying blood and tears, and a strange weapon on the ground.

Hades was silent.

Shouldn't he be here at this time?

Is it too late to go now?

 The Hammer has Emperor Tarot cards in it, but it seems to come out after the Great Rebellion, there is no such thing in the early stage.

  So I adapted it by combining the Emperor Tarot and the Tarot. The Holy Triangle pile is indeed the way the Tarot is played in reality, but I added a little bit of my own design.
