Chapter 396 Clocks and Chariots

"My Lord..."

In the Grey Knights' laboratory, Golden looked at Calvin, who was about to speak but could not.

"Is there something?" Calvin turned around after watching Stovan leave, but there was nothing in his open left hand.

"Uh... it's okay." Golden blinked, somewhat doubting his own eyes.

Leaving the experimental area, Calvin returned to his residence under Golden's strange eyes all the way, and did not mention the experimental area again.

Golden was really holding back, but limited by the Grey Knights' discipline of "no rights without being informed", he had to plan to verify his memory with Tariq beside him after the shift was over.

The way back seemed particularly short under his thoughts. After waving his hand to drive the captain of the guard with a face full of "curiosity" out of the room, Calvin could finally be alone.

Walking through the quiet office, Calvin pushed open the side door of the room and came to his exclusive equipment display room.

Here were the spoils of the Primarch's previous wars, as well as some spare parts of power armor and unused weapons and equipment.

Calvin came to the center of the room and sat on the chair built for him. He took a deep breath while looking at the possessions accumulated over decades around him, then slowly closed his eyes and raised his left hand.

His will continued to sink as he split the waves of his subconscious mind until he touched the essence of his soul deep in his mind.

His spirit continued to rise in reality, moving towards the direction of the Supreme Heaven after transcending the barriers of the mundane world.

The obstacles that seemed like natural barriers in the eyes of psychics were easily broken through, and the divine soul's transcendental gaze once again descended into reality.

Calvin opened his "eyes" and searched in his soul. He first "saw" a sword-shaped engraving, which was the link between the "Imperial Truth" and Calvin.

With it, Calvin no longer needed to worry about losing the sword. He could even summon the sword within a certain range during battle.

And this engraving was not yet complete. In terms of Calvin's understanding and cognition of his true name and his own inscription system, this engraving was only in its initial state.

It should have more capabilities, but other parts need to be completed before it can appear.

But this is not Calvin's goal this time. He tried to recall the last form of the Erebus Bell he saw.

As his target was locked, his vision shifted and at the end of a chain, a small and exquisite pocket watch appeared in his "vision".

That's it!

Calvin concentrated his will on this pocket watch. After receiving Calvin's will call, this uninvited guest also revealed part of its true appearance:

"Erebus Bell" and "Helios's Cord".

The former is a key to a systematic project developed by humans in the Golden Age to guard against the gods under their fear of the subspace. It is currently in a disabled state and only basic functions can be used.

But this basic function is enough to surprise Calvin:

Its red pointer can capture the vision of the gods in the subspace!

And for this vision, after the time effect, it can accurately mark the time when the gods' authority is manifested in reality!

This is a countdown counter! And it is a special version for the Warp!

This is really an unexpected surprise!

What is Calvin most worried about now? Isn't it the attention of those evil gods in the Warp to him?

The Emperor's protection is limited, and his main energy is still in the direction of suppressing the Webway. It is impossible for him to respond to Calvin's prayers every time.

The situation of Ophelia is the result of countless years of accumulation of faith on her planet, and it has its own unique conditions that cannot be repeated.

The reason why the battle to kill Kotos was successfully completed is that the battlefield is at the gate of Terra.

Calvin can't expect that every time he fights in the Warp, there will be an Emperor behind him to block the eyes of the gods.

The appearance of the Erebus Bell just solves his most urgent problem at the moment!

You must know that the essence of gods is also a kind of existence. Although they have transcended time, as long as they still want to maintain themselves in this universe, they still have to abide by the rules here.

This is even more true for time, the biggest rule in the real universe!

It may not be able to influence the gods, and it is even more impossible to constrain the existence of gods with the pitifully short life cycle of mortals.

But time is also the fairest rule.

Its existence itself will make the gods, who use billions of years as the basic time scale, naturally unable to grasp the time of mortals.

This gives Calvin a huge opportunity!

He can completely interfere with reality and destiny in some key events while the gods have not yet reacted!

And only he can do this!

Because although the gods do not have a precise grasp of time, they can also overturn the existing destiny after the event with the power in their hands.

But who is Calvin? He is an outsider! His soul is equal to that of the gods, and its essence is reflected on the timeline, which is similar to the existence of a hub.

Anything that has traces of his interference can only maintain the existing destiny.

Before the gods really find his footing, they are destined not to make any subversion of the things under his influence at the time level!

That's interesting.

Calvin looked at the Erebus Clock in front of him and couldn't help but imagine the future scene:

With the help of this timer, Calvin can be like a mole on the timeline, stepping on the moment when the gods failed to react every time, turning the fate of this universe to the direction that is beneficial to mankind.

Although this still cannot solve the threat of the gods to him, it is the best situation for him, an outsider who still needs to hide from the gods at this stage.

"Take your time, if you play like this, I have plenty of patience..."

Calvin withdrew his eyes from the Erebus Clock and turned to the chain tied to the end of the clock.

The Helios's rope, as the name suggests, is a fragment of the "Helios Chariot" project of the same name built by the Golden Humans on the eve of their ascension to defend the gods of the subspace.

Calvin has no way of knowing its power, and there is no information about it on the existing fragments that he can perceive.

But just from the hugeness of this project and the material resources consumed, it took several centuries for the Golden Age humans to complete it, and it was destroyed by the gods before humans ascended.

Calvin knew that this thing called "Helios Chariot" was definitely a real threat to the gods.

But unfortunately it was broken, and according to the information Calvin learned from this fragment, it was broken quite thoroughly.

In the record of that war in this fragment, at least one-third of the "Helios Chariot" was destroyed forever, and the remaining parts, except for a few scattered in the universe, most of them have been lost in the depths of the subspace and become the treasures of the gods.

But this does not mean that it has no value. At least in Calvin's absorption of this memory, there are several fragments of the fallen "Helios Chariot", all of which have the power that shocked Calvin and made him salivate!

But again, it was too broken, so broken that Calvin couldn't help but doubt himself, could he restore this huge project to even one ten-thousandth of its progress in his lifetime?

"Is this thing called a chain task? I just don't know if I have the life to do it..." Calvin complained in his heart.

And in response to his call, in reality, a silver chain appeared in his palm from nothing.

Update.
