Chapter 725, The Emperor's Most Rational Son

Xernos Bloodcurse is not a small character. His position in the family is not bad. He is a middle-level cadre anyway.

He is not ignorant. With a lifespan of more than a thousand years and countless experiences of looting, he can be considered knowledgeable.

If there is anything in the Infinite Star Domain that can be regarded as an important target, it is of course the reason why this star domain is named: the Infinite Warband.

According to legend, there is a prophecy:

[The most rational son of the youngest evil god will return to the world in the End Era to determine the final fate of the Eldar. 】

This prophecy is quite intriguing. Each element needs to be chewed a little to understand what it means, and there are many different interpretations.

Who is the 'youngest evil god'?

It is obviously not the ancient three in the warp. In the past, it was generally believed to be Slaanesh, that is, the fourth evil god who rose at the cost of the demise of the Eldar Empire, the overlord of the universe.

But if it is Slaanesh, does she have a very famous 'rational son'?

It's hard to say.

It is impossible to expect to find one who can be called "rational" in an absolute sense among the Slaanesh Daemons and Demon Princes. It is laughable that the Slaanesh Daemons who pursue indulgence, recklessness, and ecstasy can advocate rationality.

However, if we pay attention to the word "most", it seems that it can be interpreted as picking a general from a short person. It is not impossible to find one who advocates rationality in a relative sense.

This is one aspect of the interpretation.

Another interpretation is that the youngest evil god refers to the sublimated emperor of mankind.

But is he already an existence at the level of the four gods of the warp?

There is a debate within the Eldar, and it is not certain.

But if we put aside the debate and think that he is the fifth main god of the warp, then the word "son" is very representative, that is, the legion commanders who commanded the various Space Marine legions when the empire was established. Each of them is a demigod created by the emperor according to his own genetic template. Each regiment is a "degraded version" created further according to the genes of these demigods.

In theory, every demigod is an immortal, a son of the Emperor, and now he can be called the Son of God.

As for the one who "advocates rationality the most", it is a bit difficult to say, but it is generally believed that it is the former commander of the Infinite Legion.

Although he is immortal, after the Emperor ascended, his sons gradually disappeared from everyone's sight due to various factors, either falling or disappearing.

Only this commander of the Infinite Legion presided over the splitting of the Space Marine Legion into small regiments, compiled the "Space Marine Codex", a book that was regarded as a bible, and once became the regent of the Empire and ruled the Empire for a long time.

But in a war, he suffered a fatal sword from the Demon Prince and his life was in danger.

His subordinates could only put him in a stasis stand to save his life for the time being.

The only function of the stasis stand is that time will no longer flow within the stand. The regent saved his life in this way, but he stayed forever in the moment of danger.

The method of removing the stasis position is not difficult, but once it is removed, he will quickly meet his death.

He has been on the Infinite Corps' home planet, Ultra Star, for nearly ten thousand years. During these ten thousand years, the Infinite Corps has been trying to find a way to save their genetic father all the time. There are some results, but who dares to bet when the success rate is not high enough?

So, until now, the regent is still in this state.

Putting aside other interpretations, a considerable number of people have determined that the person in the prophecy is the former regent of mankind, the son of the emperor, and the genetic father of the Infinite Corps-Robert.

According to the prophecy, he will wake up in the End Era? Is it related to the Eldar?

What is the End Era?

What will be the fate of the Eldar?

The interpretation of these things is even more varied and cannot be defined.

Not only are the interpretations of the prophecy different, but the attitudes of the senior members of the various families in Comoros towards this prophecy are also different.

Even though the prophecy came from the Wuling Cult and was made by the oldest great witch with a lifespan of tens of thousands of years, not every family's archon believed it.

Comoros is a cold-blooded city full of conspiracies. Who knows if this prophecy was fabricated by the Wuling Cult with some unspeakable secrets?

If you believe it, won't you fall into a trap?

The struggles between the various families in Comoros are not only as complicated and twisted as the political struggles on the sacred Terra of mankind, but also more intense and bloody.

Once you make a mistake, you will be doomed.

Some of the non-believers completely ignored this information, some strongly opposed it, and some pretended to believe it and used this prophecy to do something else.

Some believed it.

But after believing it, it does not mean that everyone has a unified opinion and action plan. Some people think it should be used, some think it should be destroyed in advance, some think it should be actively connected, and some think...

There are too many, and they are true and false.

Xernos himself could not clearly discern the thoughts of his fellow tribesmen.

He was even not sure what the Blood Curse Family, where he was, really thought of the prophecy.

But one thing was certain: the Blood Curse Family was one of the top families that was most interested in and most capable of taking action regarding the prophecy.

They united many allies and made many arrangements.

These arrangements even lasted for hundreds or thousands of years.

What Zelnos was responsible for was only a small part of one link - a trade blockade against the Infinite Star Domain.

It was not entirely about locking down the Infinite Star Domain with military force, which was unrealistic. Even if the Blood Curse Family had such power, they would never want to use it to confront the powerful Infinite War Group, and the final result would definitely be crushed.

They adopted an overall strategy of raiding.

They did not attack the Infinite Star Domain directly, but basically surrounded the Infinite Star Domain and attacked the ships that traded and transported with the Infinite Star Domain.

Dispersed looting was the method that the Dark Eldar were best at, and it made the Infinite Star Domain and the Infinite War Group seem quite at a loss.

Even now, they were still not sure whether the actions of the Dark Eldar were directed at them.
