Chapter 80 Future
"Watch out, Archmage!"
With lightning-fast reflexes, Li Wei's pupils constricted, and he shouted sharply.
He also did not expect that Conrad Coates would use a feint to target Magnus, the Primarch of the Thousand Sons, as the real target.
As expected of Conrad Coz, the Primarch of the Midnight Lords, who is most skilled in assassination and raids, he really caught Magnus off guard, attacking him while Magnus's attention was completely focused on Levi.
Just as the unsuspecting Magnus was about to be struck by the ghostly Conrad Coates.
A flash of purple lightning enveloped Li Wei, who instantly teleported in front of Magnus. A purple psionic fireball, brimming with rage, suddenly shot out, hurtling straight toward Conrad Coates' face.
Conrad Coates, emerging from the shadows, watched the purple fireball hurtling towards him without flinching. He frowned and met the attack head-on, shifting his body slightly in mid-air, diverting the fireball's impact point from the fatal weakness of his forehead to other non-fatal areas.
Boom!
Conrad Coates took the hit head-on with his Primarch body, his body trembling as he hovered in mid-air. Conrad Coates, who had been silent until now, finally couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.
But his incredibly fast claws still managed to pounce on Magnus, easily tearing apart the temporary shield Magnus had created, and slamming his cold, powerful hand heavily onto Magnus's chest.
"No!" Levi roared furiously, his eyes wide with rage. His psionic flames surged, and in his fury, he struck Conrad Coz hard in the back with his hand, which was enveloped in purple psionic flames.
Bang!
Conrad Coates was wounded and violently thrown into the darkness.
Enraged, Levi charged forward, intent on avenging his Primarch, to continue his attack on Conrad Coates, who was staggering to his feet in the distance.
He had just taken a step when he noticed the scenery before him begin to tremble and distort slightly, as if it were about to shatter like a mirage.
Sensing something was wrong, Li Wei immediately suspected Conrad Coates was behind it. Despite feeling dizzy from the changing scene before him, he continued his attack.
The next second, Levi's furious attack was about to land on Conrad Coates, who had already gotten up and was now pale-faced.
But just then, the scene before them finally gave way and shattered.
All the scenes before Li Wei's eyes suddenly went black, turning into boundless darkness and deathly silence, and his consciousness began to become increasingly sluggish.
I don't know how much time has passed; it could be a second, or it could be ten thousand years.
In the depths of Li Wei's chaotic consciousness, he suddenly discovered that the boundless darkness before him seemed to have been torn apart, revealing a faint golden light.
His soul, yearning for light, was like a moth drawn to a flame, uncontrollably rushing towards the warm, golden light before him.
The next instant, just as Li Wei's chaotic consciousness came into contact with the golden light, his almost lost five senses suddenly returned.
He felt gravity, temperature, and air again, but then came a sharp pain.
He felt as if his body was being torn apart, and even his soul felt a tearing pain that went deep into his bones.
Li Wei gritted his teeth and endured for a long time before he gradually focused his unfocused gaze and saw the scene before him clearly.
In the magnificent and solemn golden palace, Li Wei, somewhat disoriented, endured the excruciating pain and stared blankly at the scene before him.
He felt that everything in front of him was becoming more and more familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
"Where... am I?"
"The...emperor's palace?"
"This is... the Golden Throne Room?"
"Is this... the Emperor's vision?"
Li Wei, trembling all over, muttered to himself, then suddenly realized where he was.
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He suddenly lowered his heavy head and looked at his own body.
His pupils suddenly contracted, and he was so frightened that his soul almost left his body. His once intact body had turned into a skeleton wreathed in purple flames from the subspace.
Completely terrified by the sight before him, Li Wei struggled to his feet to escape the nightmarish scene before him.
Just as he was about to move, he vaguely heard an old and weary sigh.
"Your Majesty..."
And then, that was it. The scene before Li Wei's eyes shattered completely, and he returned to Qianzi's flagship, the Glory Queen-class battleship, the Fortep.
After two dramatic shifts in the scene, Li Weina's once clear mind was completely thrown into chaos, and he didn't even realize that the scenery in front of him had changed.
He was already lying on a black leather sofa in the corner of the observation deck.
"Li Wei, are you alright?"
Magnus's gentle call pulled Livy back from his dazed state.
"Hmm. I'm fine." Li Wei then brought his attention back to reality.
He had already noticed that the scene before him had changed; he and Magnus had switched places.
This wasn't the area where he fought Conrad Coates; instead, he had arrived at the other side of the observation deck, which included a rest area.
What about Conrad Coz?
Li Wei tensed up abruptly, stood up, and cautiously looked around, but couldn't detect any trace of Conrad Coz. Moreover, even Conrad Coz's unique Primarch aura was gone. After being alert for a while, he only saw Magnus's complicated expression on the other side.
Huh? How come Magnus isn't injured?
And what exactly was that view we just saw?
Levi's thoughts gradually became clearer, and he guessed that Conrad Coates did not actually want to kill him or Magnus, but rather wanted to forcibly instill a vision of the future into him.
But was what I just saw really a vision of the future? Was everything really normal?
Is it really normal to see an emperor sitting on a golden throne in one's field of vision?
Hadn't he already drastically changed the fate of the Thousand Sons? How could Magnus possibly send out psionic communications, destroy the TerraNet, and cause the Emperor to sit on the Golden Throne forever, just as he remembered from his previous life?
"Levi, don't overthink it. Conrad Coz just showed me a lot of visions of the future, but most of them are too outrageous. There's even a Primarch of the Fist of the Empire, Rogue Dorn, leading the Primarchs to rebel against the Empire!"
And then there was the Dark Angel Primarch... who led many Primarchs in rebellion...
Even I...leading...”
Magnus gazed at Levina's still somewhat pale face and softly comforted him.
According to Magnus's explanation, Conrad Coz was able to manipulate future visions and forcibly project them onto others for viewing.
Moreover, Conrad Coates' actions were truly outrageous. After instilling numerous possible future scenarios into Levi and Magnus, he left on his own.
Li Wei, who was listening silently, still looked confused. He only saw a fragmented scene, and it was from the perspective of the Emperor, the ruler of mankind. Was this really normal?
