YT-001 did not look back, but its voice responded.
"Can."
"You just said this was the ghost of Ctesiphon."
As Thor spoke, he gestured to the temple in front of him.
"But I can't see them, but I can feel them. I can step on the steps under my feet, but in fact they don't exist."
"Thor, what do you know about the Webway?"
"Very few times, and many years ago, the Sigil Bearer told us many secrets about the Webway, but unfortunately that is still very limited."
"Have you seen the webway under the Palace of Terra?"
"I saw it only once, and then it was destroyed by Magnus's reckless behavior."
"The destruction of the Webway is not only a loss for humanity, but also a loss for the entire galaxy."
YT-001 said as he strode forward.
"It will fade away like a forgotten story, sinking into the mire of memory, remembered only by lonely poets, and will reappear in dreams only when it is sought."
"Poetic, but madam you didn't answer my question."
"You didn't ask a question either."
"Are we already in the Webway?"
"I told you, the entrance is right ahead."
"Once again you answered the question incorrectly."
"The subspace is a distorted reflection of reality, and the Webway is the realm between subspace and reality. In other words, both reality and fantasy can exist in it. Yes, we have entered the Internet.
Within the realm of Tao, everything here...has existed before, but you cannot observe it with your current eyes."
"The Eleven Primarchs studied the Webway so deeply. Did the Emperor know all this back then?"
"What's the benefit of doing that?"
"The process of transforming the unknown into the known is the process of seeking knowledge, but trusting unverified knowledge seems to be a very rash act."
"His Majesty's goals rest on his faith."
"Belief?"
Thor frowned.
"I don't quite understand."
"Why are you here if you don't also believe that your doubts can be answered?"
"It wasn't so-called 'faith' that brought me here."
"what is that?"
When he reached the top of the steps and faced the solemn palace, Thor raised his head and said:
"It's His will."
The two entered a huge square, which was covered with cobblestones and sparkling with snow.
Snowflakes fell on Thor's armor, lit up slightly, and then melted like teardrops.
Hundreds of statues are lined up like a guard of honor participating in a military parade, silent and solemn. The only thing active in their bodies is the weird energy in their bodies. At the same time, the material they are made of is not metal or rock, but some kind of
Bones - probably the so-called spiritual bones of the Eldar.
Thor took a closer look at the appearance of these statues and confirmed that they were not human, but they were also completely different from the current Eldar.
YT-001 walked freely among the rows of Eldar statues, and Thor followed it silently.
The dark wood door opened automatically when the two approached, revealing a columnar hall made of porphyry and jade, with cold reflections dancing on the floor tiles.
Thor followed the cyborg into the hall and found that the palace was filled with display cabinets with crystal doors, as if they were vaunted trophies in a museum of conquests - some display cabinets were covered with finely crafted weapons, while others were filled with extremely beautiful displays.
Mainly art works of the human race, but most of the cabinets are filled with weird skeletons.
At the same time, he also noticed that the temperature in this place was very low. According to the power armor detection, it was around minus 30 degrees, but there were burning braziers on both sides of the road, and the flames were strange light blue.
Thor walked through the narrow path between the display cabinets and marveled at the incredible richness of these collections. His eyes wandered among the dazzling array of exhibits, and suddenly he noticed a shining figure with a silver death helmet on its head placed in a display window.
His skull has a geometric rune engraved on his forehead, and his eye sockets are dazzling dark green.
A spiritual tribe, and a spiritual tribe with an extraordinary status.
The deeper Thor went, the more obvious he became aware of subtle discrepancies in the dimensions within the palace.
Things that can be seen clearly from one side are completely invisible when turned to the other side, and are replaced by brand-new collections.
Finally, at the end of the road, Thor stopped in front of a cabinet displaying exquisite bone-white armor.
The smooth and elegant workmanship of this set of armor was obviously made by the Eldar, and Thor felt a silent anger that transcended eternity. Its helmet was designed to look like some kind of death ghost, and blood-red feathers were coiled around the shoulder armor.
, like a poisonous snake ready to strike at any time.
A slender sickle hung on the human figure's shoulder, and a broken sword was held tightly in the blood-stained gauntlet.
Thor didn't need to look carefully to know that being frozen in the long river of time was an ultimate curse for the things attached to this armor.
"What is this place?"
"A place where the Webway already existed before His Majesty discovered it."
Thor tapped his fingers on the crystal glass outside the cabinet, feeling the angry soul inside eagerly awaiting his death.
"Eldar."
"Yes, it should be a prophet or war wizard who drifted in the universe shortly after the demise of the Eldar race. However, according to your Majesty's investigation, it does not belong to any known Eldar shrine or path."
"What's the meaning?"
"Your Majesty investigated the mythology of the Eldar and found that there seems to be another god hidden in the legend of the Eldar. It may have used some method to avoid the destruction of the Eldar when it fell, or it may be said that 'it' has not yet been born.
...This should be the burial place chosen by its last secret worshiper, and this incomplete webway is the 'hatching ground' he chose for that god, but it is obvious that his plan went wrong.
Something went wrong and his spirit could not be 'hatched' out. His Majesty guessed that there might be some lack of opportunity or artifact."
Sol leaned close to the display case and looked at the contents inside.
"There is such a thing...Has the spirit god found out its name?"
"No, but His Majesty speculates that it is probably...the God of Death."
"The Eldar's Death…this is something worth paying attention to."
Then he left the place full of Eldar remains and walked along a spiral road towards the center of the palace.
With every step he took, the arrangement of the cabinets changed, previous exhibits disappearing from view and other works of art taking their place.
Unconsciously, his footsteps led him into an unfamiliar area.
From the tower he just looked at outside, bright rainbow lights radiated from the depths of the octagonal shaft, and a pair of ascending stairs coiled into a double helix structure, half of which was made of translucent ice crystals, and half of which was deep.
black stone.
"It's all at the top."
Thor nodded and walked towards the double helix stairs.
