Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

In the end, the existence of this Tzeentch demon only lasted until this sentence was finished.

Everything in the idealistic world is information and language expression, and it is also the declaration and embodiment of power.

The impact of the terrifying essence of Calvin's existence shattered its soul in an instant.

Just as those mortals looked directly into its soul, it could not bear the horrific consequences of looking directly at Calvin.

The dark blue clouds quickly dissipated and faded, eventually turning into colorless air and becoming a part of this place, with no chance of leaving.

Since it was born in subspace in response to the call of the Lord, I have never imagined that it would be so sad when it dies.

The strike cruiser Angel of Punishment has left the planet world of Noraston. With the intelligence support of the Inquisition behind it, the Gray Knights have been moving non-stop towards the next world with traces of Chaos.

There were countless battles similar to this during the recovery of the Lyak sector.

This is the exclusive scope of work of the Gray Knights, and will also be the main work of Calvin and his warriors in the coming months.

The battleship sailed quietly in the subspace, and Calvin had just completed the planned experiment in his residence.

He witnessed and observed the death of the Tzeentch demon with his own eyes, and the disintegration of the demon's true name in the process shocked him greatly.

It was the same but different spectacular scene in his mind when the souls of the mortals who died in Chaos disintegrated.

The same thing as mortals is the disappearance of self-will when the soul is broken, but the difference is that the projection representing the authority of the gods has obviously stronger resistance and a more complex decomposition process in the process of breakage and annihilation.

what does that mean?

This means that the true name is the only label for a living being, and what truly represents will and power are two completely different parts.

The former represents the existence of the holder's own will, which has been expanding and multiplying since its birth, getting longer and longer;

In the presence of a powerful enough being, as long as you know this part of the information, it is equivalent to telling the other party everything about your past.

This is a personal code that is unique to each life and cannot be copied.

The latter represents the projection of a certain power, which can be held by other subjects even if it is separated from the previous subject.

So if we really want to talk about the real name that represents power in a narrow sense, it refers to the second half.

This is a scary realization.

Because this is the first time in the tens of thousands of years since the demise of the ancient saints that humans and other civilized races have re-advanced the understanding of subspace in the real universe to the depth it is today.

It is different from the various explorations and pursuits of Magnus and his Thousand Sons for the application of power, which can always only stay at the surface level of witchcraft and the use of power.

Because Calvin’s soul characteristics are completely different from those of the local indigenous people, this exploration has pointed directly at the birth of the soul and the essential mysteries of the existence of the gods in this universe from the beginning.

Calvin needed to write down these valuable thoughts so that if he died in an accident, no one else would have the knowledge;

But he cannot write it directly with mortal paper, pen and words, because once this kind of knowledge that can arouse the prying eyes and anger of ghosts and gods appears, it will definitely cause the most terrifying direct interference from the subspace gods.

Calvin finally summarized the results of his thinking into systematic words, and then encrypted them into runes as a whole according to the way the runes on his cells were constructed.

The advantage of this is that the knowledge he wrote down will not accidentally leak into the hands of mortals, causing irreversible consequences.

The disadvantages are equally obvious. Except for the Gray Knights who also inherited his bloodline, no one else will be able to read this kind of text.

This is a text that belongs exclusively to the sons of Calvin, because it only comes from their blood.

Without the underlying data of the genes contained in them, this kind of writing would be completely impossible to decipher, let alone understand.

This is also a script unique to the future human race, because only those populations that spread from the Gray Knights can have the basic ability to use this script.

As long as words, a highly symbolic concept, are born, they must have their own projection in the subspace.

This kind of projection, which is like a spirit, is itself the link between this rune and the power of this world;

As long as they master this kind of writing, the Gray Knights can indirectly control these powers.

In the chapel behind the dome hall of the Angel of Punishment, Calvin was sitting behind his desk writing hard under the dim candlelight.

At this time, he does not know what significance the words he is writing have to mankind.

But as the fine gold-polished pen tip in his hand drew the last stroke of vermilion ink, the underlying power of the entire Warhammer universe began to brew unknown fundamental changes.

In the following days, the tasks in his hands became more and more arduous. Under the increasingly frequent urging of the Grand Master Council on his home planet Titan, he knew that there was not much time left for him to clean up and finish things here.

But the war here has special meaning to him. This is the first time that he, as the leader of a war zone, has made his voice heard on the stage of the empire.

The peace of Orpheus and the recovery of the two major sectors of Hassan and Lyak were not only the merits and qualifications that he relied on to return to Terra after becoming a high lord.

It is also the first answer sheet he has handed over on a personal level to the great being who is about to meet again.

Publicly and privately, he has every reason to devote himself to the long-term peace and development here.

Privately and publicly, he has a long enough life to bear the subsequent evaluation brought about by this battle.

In the eyes of a being with such special specifications as him, the matter of leaving a posthumous note during one's lifetime is too extravagant.

He knew that his long and endless life like those of his brothers would give him enough time to pay long-lasting regret for any of his actions.

He can't make mistakes, he has no reason to make mistakes.

For a whole year, hundreds of Gray Knights, under his leadership, cleansed the entire Lyak star sector one by one.

He excommunicated worlds occupied by followers of Chaos;

Worlds that were proven to have human resistance were saved from the hands of Chaos by the Death Angels who descended from the sky with the Emperor and his will, leaving behind a large number of legends.

The destruction of judgment and the purification of demons by angels have become facts witnessed by the survivors of this sector.

The emperor's divine and compassionate gaze, through these Gray Knights with the fire of revenge and purification, led the loyalists back to the embrace of the empire in the purifying judgments that fell from the sky.

Ashes, only the place of ashes can witness rebirth;

Ashes, only by burning everything, can they vent the anger of the human race to Chaos, and the unyielding cry that is engraved in the bones of this short-lived race.
