Traveling through time, I'm making pancakes in Warhammer

Chapter 244 Anger

The three of them formed a circle, and Mei made the psychic flames suspend between them, like a cold bonfire.

"I actually have no idea why I'm here, or what I'm doing here," Howard said. "I was originally in a relatively stable place in the Warp, but a fight between two Warp creatures stirred up the storm, and I was blown here."

"This is already the third version you've come up with!" The nun's eyes widened. "Only the Divine Emperor knows if you'll come up with a fourth version later!"

"This is the final version," Howard said. "The lies I made before were all forced by the situation. I swear this time it's really true. If I tell a fourth version in the future, don't believe it. That would be a lie. This is the final version."

"As a human being, what were you doing in the subspace before?" the nun continued to ask.

"I'm sorry, but this is the unspeakable part. I can't tell you. This is good for both of us," Howard said.

"You must explain things clearly!" The nun still seemed unwilling to give up.

"Sister, it's rare that I've made up my mind to communicate openly with you. If you insist on asking, I'll have to lie to you again."

"The bullets in my gun won't stop you." The nun began to load the grenade launcher.

"No, no?!" Howard was shocked. "Didn't we just agree a minute ago that you can't ask further questions if you don't want to talk about it?"

"I didn't agree with your proposal," the nun said confidently. "I was just deceiving you and waiting for you to reveal more flaws."

"If that's the case, then if you want to get upset, you should wait until we've almost finished talking!" Howard felt both angry and amused. "Isn't it a bit rash to get upset just after I've said the beginning?"

"Because your words just now further prove that you are a traitor and a liar, and that what you are doing is even more filthy than my most despicable assumptions." The nun raised her grenade launcher and pointed it at Howard. "To hear you say another word is to blaspheme the God-Emperor."

The nun turned her gun towards Mei again. "I understand. Everything that happened here, from your ulterior motives in interfering with our actions to our arrival in this strange place, was a conspiracy by you all. Your goal was to seduce me, to make me waver and betray you. And so achieve your hidden, evil purpose. Sadly, you have failed. By the Divine Emperor, no words can shake me. Prepare to die!"

After saying that, the nun pulled the trigger.

But the grenade launcher did not fire.

Because Mei raised her hand, the spirit that was far more powerful than the nun's could prevent the nun's finger pressing the trigger from moving even a little bit.

"Miss Gloria, it's useless for us to try to seduce you." Even in this situation, Mei still tried to talk to Gloria. "Coming here was not our plan. We just hope that you can make the choice that is most in our and your interests. So, please calm down."

"Yes! Yes!" Howard quickly chimed in, "I'll use my personality, my soul... well, I don't think I have that, but I promise you, hiding my experiences in the Warp will only benefit everyone. If I tell you, not only will you die, but everyone else on this planet might not be spared."

"It's their honor!" the nun immediately retorted.

Howard's brain froze for a moment as he couldn't make sense of Gloria's words, so he instinctively asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Even if they die for this, it's their honor to sacrifice their lives for the Empire!" Gloria's furious expression was tinged with a disturbing fervor. "The greater the harm caused by revealing the secret, the more valuable this secret proves. I may die, but before I die, I will record everything and send it to Terra. Even if everyone on this planet dies, their deaths will be worthy!"

"boom!"

Before the nun could finish her impassioned speech, Howard had already punched her in the face. Although the nun despised Howard, she also knew that Howard was essentially just a human without psychic powers, no transformation, and no weapons. So after the falling out, she focused most of her attention on May and never expected Howard to suddenly attack.

And along the way, no matter how she mocked or offended this mortal, this mortal always tolerated and accommodated her, so that Gloria never regarded Howard as an enemy in her heart.

The reason why Gloria didn't regard Howard as an enemy was not that she had no hostility towards him, but that she looked down on this mortal too much. Even if this mortal might have a huge connection and carry many secrets, in her eyes, this mortal himself was still just an ant-like creature that could be crushed at any time and was not worthy of being regarded as an enemy at all.

But at this moment, this man as tiny as an ant punched her hard.

This sudden punch caused the nun to temporarily lose her balance. Howard then took advantage of the moment when the nun lost her balance and pounced on her. He grabbed the external pipe of the nun's power armor and punched her again.

With a bang, Howard's second punch was blocked by the nun. Howard's fist hit the ceramic steel armor and immediately bled. The nun immediately turned around and pressed Howard under her, punching him in the eye socket.

Howard's body shook, his eyes went dark, and his ears were buzzing, as if the nun's punch was going to knock his brains out of his ears. Fortunately, the nun didn't have armor on her hands, otherwise this punch would have been enough to smash Howard's head.

"Traitor!" The nun grabbed Howard's neck tightly and raised her right hand to throw a second punch, but at this moment, a powerful psychic energy wave forcibly separated the two.

The source of the psychic energy was undoubtedly Mei, and for various reasons, Mei treated Gloria much more roughly than he treated Howard. Gloria was almost like being hit by an invisible cannonball and blown away, while Howard was only slightly shaken away.

"Are you hurt?" After separating Gloria and Howard, May stepped forward and helped Howard up.

But Howard immediately released May's hand that was supporting him.

"idiot!"

Howard suddenly burst into a swearing fit, which even scared May.

"Idiot, idiot, idiot!" Howard suddenly fell into a huge rage after shaking off May's hand. He roared like a thunderbolt: "You bunch of idiots...you bunch of idiots! How many more people have to die before you can grow some brains?!"

“Aa ...

He walked around angrily, constantly waving his fists and yelling, and tearing his hair and face, as if there was a devil living in his body and was about to tear off this layer of human skin and come into the world.

"You! And your superior! And your superior's superior! All of you are brainless good-for-nothings!" Howard stopped his self-harming behavior. His eye sockets were sunken, his hair was messy, and his face was covered with blood marks from his scratches. He cursed at the nun: "You bunch of idiots, you can never tell who is the enemy and who is the friend. People who could become friends are forced to become enemies by you, and people who originally were friends are labeled traitors because they disagree with you. If you were to use half of the cruelty you treat your compatriots on your enemies, the world would have been peaceful long ago! You never learn your lesson. You never learn from your mistakes. You keep falling into the same pits that others have fallen into. Once you've fallen into them, you either continue down this path to the end, or wait for a tough guy to come and save you, or you clamor for some bullshit great sacrifice to get others to sacrifice their lives to fill your holes. I'll sacrifice you! The most powerful tough guy in the world was trapped half to death by a bunch of you, even worse than Ogryn! Even after all this, you still don't repent! How dare you say such things? Do you think your actions are noble? It's because of insects like you that the Empire is so rotten now!

The nun was shocked by Howard's crazy look and didn't know how to respond for a moment. Howard became more and more excited as he spoke. In the end, he even walked up to the nun, grabbed the gap in her power armor with both hands, and put his face close to her to attack.

"How many people are there on this planet? How many people are there on the surrounding planets? I told you the truth, you sent the information out, and you became a hero, but you let these people die with you? I am your enemy, but I, your enemy, care more about the lives of your compatriots than you do. Aren't you ashamed? You say there are no unacceptable sacrifices? That's because no sacrifice has been made to the person who said this nonsense! The dead can't speak, of course, I have no objection! If your Emperor knew that you casually sent hundreds of millions of compatriots to hell with just a single sentence, do you think the Emperor would judge me or you?!"

After saying this, Howard pushed the nun away fiercely. After Howard's close combat, she actually felt a little overwhelmed. Her eyes wandered around in panic, instinctively trying to avoid Howard's gaze, and finally stopped on the grenade launcher in her hand.

In fact, the nun had no other thoughts when she looked at the gun in her hand. Her wandering gaze just needed to find an anchor point, but Howard misunderstood her action, so he kicked the grenade launcher away from the nun's hand.

The bolter spun and slid a long way across the smooth ground, and the nun's eyes followed it all the way.

"Don't point this broken thing at me! If killing me could solve the problem, it wouldn't be your turn!" Howard roared at the nun.

After yelling, Howard returned to his crazy state. He kept hitting his head and stomping his feet, as if he wanted to crush the earth into powder. Finally, he suddenly lifted his hands up, and then fell down as if he had lost his strength.

Howard remained in this position for a long moment, then sighed and slowly sat down on the ground. He lowered his head, his fingers tangled in his tangled hair. His face, hidden in the shadows, was a mixture of anger, grievance, and sadness. He gritted his teeth, his nails digging into his scalp, barely holding back his emotions from completely collapsing.

He'd had enough of this crazy bitch. If this were a game, the Nun would be the kind of character whose favorability range was so narrow you had to use a magnifying glass to see it, but whose entire body was riddled with minefields. She was the kind of character whose favorability would only increase slightly if you hit the range, but stepping on the minefield would not only plummet but even cause her to become hostile and completely shut down all side quests. The creator used this to showcase his thin family tree.

At this time, May slowly walked to his side, knelt down, and put her hand on Howard's shoulder.

"I'm sorry... I lost my composure just now." Howard took two deep breaths and apologized for opening May's hand just now.

Am I not a fool for doing these things which are doomed to be useless?

At this moment, he suddenly felt very tired. He just wanted to keep this posture forever without moving until he turned into a stone.

This fucking Battle Sisters, this fucking Empire, this fucking universe, it's so disappointing.
