[By the Flame of Asuryan]
This was a common exclamation used by the Eldar...
...equivalent to "holy shit" or "WTF."
It didn't actually mean that they had seen the fire of Asuryan.
After all, ever since the destruction of Asur, the last legacy of the great Phoenix God in this world had—
...appeared in the hands of this human?
"By the Flame of Asuryan!"
For the first time, in a declarative form, it came from Yriel's mouth.
"Hu-human!"
"Where did you get this flame from? Why is it so similar to a flame I am... familiar with?!"
Of course, Yriel had immediately dismissed this ridiculous idea.
Who was Asuryan?
He was the god of the ancient Eldar, the king of the pantheon, the creator of the Eldar, the savior of all the Craftworlds!
How could his flame appear in the hands of a stupid, clumsy, dumb human?
In this world, only we, the Eldar, are the most intelligent and powerful race!
The big golden guy who is currently leading humanity is just a clumsy imitation of our ancient god!
Even if Asuryan wanted to choose a successor, it would be a great—
Kasjia looked at the surrounding Aspect Warriors with some confusion.
After he had shown the flame in his hand, the once-agile and nimble Eldar warriors had suddenly been frozen in place, watching him walk up to the seriously injured Eldar warrior.
Whether it was a tacit understanding, or they were using psionics to open a team communication channel, in any case, not a single one of them came forward to stop Kasjia.
The other's body had extensive burns.
Even for an Aspect Warrior who was known for her speed, in the face of the flamethrowers of a large number of Ork burna boyz, she was still unable to dodge.
The body under her armor was almost completely carbonized, including some exposed internal organs, which were still beating even though they were sizzling.
If it weren't for the powerful life force of the Eldar, such a serious injury would have long since sent her to... uh, no, long since sent her into a soulstone.
Sizzle.
Kasjia placed his right hand on her, and gently stroked the wound. Countless new flesh and blood then covered the previous blackness.
It seemed that compared to treating others, his flame's healing effect on the Eldar was even better.
"OK, she's healed."
"Are there any other problems? If not, please leave. There are more people on my ship who need my help."
Kasjia said to Yriel with a smile.
It's easy to invite a god, but hard to send them away.
Why are this group of Eldar still lingering on his ship and not leaving?
"By the Flame of Asuryan..."
Yriel, seeing this, blinked a few more times.
Why are they all like they've gone senile, constantly repeating this sentence...
Kasjia was getting a headache.
"I know this is indeed a miracle, but there's no need to be so surprised, right?"
"I heard that your fallen cousins, the Haemonculi, their methods are even more—"
"Wait, don't go yet."
Yriel, as if just recovering from her shock, grabbed Kasjia's power armor.
"Shalandr, how are you?" Yriel asked, turning around.
Is there a medical malpractice part to this?
Kasjia was a little helpless.
He looked back and saw the Eldar warrior who had taken off her mask, revealing her beautiful and incredulous face.
"I'm fine... in fact, I'm too good."
"I can feel her influence on me... disappearing!"
"I'm free! Yriel! I'm free!!!"
She cried with joy after taking off her war mask.
"Her? You mean to say, the influence of the Thirsting Lady (Slaanesh) is disappearing?"
"Yes! Yes! Look at my soulstone!!!"
She excitedly held up the soulstone in her hand, which was used to preserve her soul from being devoured by Slaanesh.
After being treated by Kasjia, the light of the soulstone had become extremely dim.
Only the Craftworld Eldar knew that this was a sign that the bond between the soulstone and her had been broken.
And her soul had neither been taken away by the Thirsting Lady, nor had the soulstone lost its bond!
This meant...
...it meant that she, just like the proud ancient Eldar ancestors, her soul was now connected to the Infinity Circuit!
From now on, she would no longer be at the mercy of Slaanesh!
"I have escaped her clutches! I am free! Sister!"
"I'm free!!!"
"...This should be a good thing, right?"
Kasjia, whose arm was being held by Yriel, looked at the scene before him with some confusion.
Unfortunately, he had not been a xenos enthusiast before.
He only had a half-understanding of the internal power systems and gods of the Eldar.
Especially since this group of people were communicating in the Eldar language.
He couldn't understand it.
He could only guess what had happened from their expressions.
"Yriel?"
"Can you let me go now?"
Wait, this is my ship!
It's you Eldar who should be leaving!
"You... Kasjia... you—"
Yriel, who had come back to her senses, had a light in her eyes.
"Take it off!"
"Hurry up and take it off!"
"Quick, take it off for me!"
Yriel, with her agile figure, instantly pounced on Kasjia, and her hands were impatiently looking for the connection points of his power armor.
Gah!
Medical malpractice is one thing, but now there's a hooligan too!
"Calm down!"
Kasjia dodged her attack with a flash.
What are you doing!
Just coming up and getting handsy with people!
"I'm sorry, my lady, but I'm already married!"
"We may have fought side by side, but we are not in that kind of relationship!"
"No! Your arm!" Yriel's tone was full of urgency.
"Let me see your right hand, the one that can control this flame!"
My right hand?
You want me to take off my power armor to show you my right hand?
Your XP is a bit strange, Yriel.
But what could he do?
Before Fulgrim returned, these Eldar masters were the masters.
"You wait a minute. I can't just take off my power armor in front of you all."
"My people have to be around, and your warriors also have to take off their war masks."
This was too dangerous.
What if she suddenly turned dark and took him to Commorragh?
"Fine... but please hurry! This is very important to us!"
"...Thank you!"
Wow.
The Eldar actually used "please" and "thank you."
Then it seemed to be really important.
Not long after, in the cockpit of the Pride of the Emperor.
"What is the meaning of this?" Commander Vespasian asked.
He was providing cover for Kasjia with a group of elite Emperor's Children.
"I don't know. Who can figure out what the Eldar are thinking?" Kasjia said as he had the right arm of his power armor removed with the help of a mortal technician. "Thank you."
"There, Eldar! Have you seen enough?"
Kasjia impatiently stretched out his right arm.
And the other, along with the warriors who had gathered around, caressed the golden-red cracks on Kasjia's arm as if they had found a treasure.
"Finally..."
With a few tears, Yriel's eyes showed an almost fanatical fire.
"God!"
"God!"
"Friend, I'm just a human. Even you were calling me a Mon-keigh just now. Why are you suddenly calling me a god?"
"God!"
Yriel was still holding Kasjia's right hand tightly.
"I understand that there are some terrifying existences in the Empyrean that are beyond human comprehension, but I am not one of them. If I had such great power, how could I be so tired of dealing with just Orks?"
"God!"
"Friend... can you let go of my hand? Everyone is watching! I'm married, this looks really bad."
"God!"
It seemed that no matter what Kasjia said, this once-arrogant Eldar Autarch now only had this one word left.
God!
Kasjia: "..."
Children, I am also not a god.
It was simply impossible to communicate.
I'm tired.
Kasjia looked at the Eldar, whose eyes were filled with a fanatical light, and was at a loss for words.
Sometimes, the burning of the perfect city... you really can't blame Old Man Gold for it.
"You're saying that I'm the reincarnation of Asuryan, the new Phoenix King?"
Helplessly, Kasjia could only go along with the other and listen to her explain all the Eldar-related knowledge.
"That's right!"
Yriel nodded like a garlic pounder.
In the society of the Craftworld Eldar, there had always been a debate about the fate of Asuryan.
Some Eldar believed that Asuryan was already dead, and that before he was devoured by Slaanesh, he had passed his remaining power to Asurmen and the other Phoenix Lords.
And another part of the Eldar believed that as the god of the phoenix, who symbolized rebirth from the ashes, Asuryan would not have met his death so easily.
After all, at the time of the Great Fall, even the weakened Khaine could fight the newborn Slaanesh to a standstill.
If it weren't for Khorne's interference, it was still unknown who would have won.
As the king of the pantheon of gods, Asuryan, how could he have been ganked by Slaanesh so easily!?
This is fake! We don't believe it!
The great Phoenix God Asuryan is definitely still alive!
And he is recuperating, always ready to return like lightning!
Return like lightning...
Like lightning...
He's not coming back.
Just as Yriel was sneering at those old fossils who were hoping for Asuryan's return...
...a human version of Asuryan, still in his unawakened stage, had just appeared before them.
"By Asuryan..."
Kasjia did not seem to be very happy about the Eldar's statement.
Think about what Asuryan did in Warhammer 40K!
One, he sat in a chair and did nothing.
Two, he died.
Wow!
So amazing!
As expected of the main god of the Eldar, to have such great power!
After living for so long, the only thing he did was get cashed in by Slaanesh.
"Human, how can you slander our—"
Wait, no!
Yriel had a second thought.
He is Asuryan.
This is him, as the reincarnation of Asuryan, humbly self-criticizing!
Indeed, this is the humility of a god!
A god is truly great.
Yriel's line of thought was now rapidly moving towards another guy who often shouted about gods.
"But that's not right. Look, do I have pointy ears?"
Seeing the gazes of the Emperor's Children on both sides becoming more and more strange, Kasjia insisted on defending himself.
"I'm sorry, I don't know the detailed reason."
"But your flame has already proven that it comes from the hands of Asuryan by breaking the pull of the Thirsting Lady on the Eldar soul."
"Please, come with us back to the Craftworld Iyanden. There, we will rebuild the former glory of the Eldar!"
As she spoke, Yriel gripped his right hand tightly.
"Not going."
Kasjia's refusal was swift.
"Why? Are our words not worthy of your trust?"
Yriel's tone was a little anxious.
Of course not.
(I'm afraid your final destination is called Commorragh.)
Why would the Eldar think they were trustworthy?
If he were to go to a Craftworld and show the flame in his hand...
...then the next second, all the Eldar Farseers, even those who were most eager for Asuryan's return, would have to turn into inner-circle supermen at light speed.
Asuryan is actually a human?
Is that something that can be leaked?
No!
Absolutely not!
The glory of the Eldar must be defended! (shuriken weapon loaded)
At that time, if he could ask for a quick death, it would already be the mercy of the old Eldar Farseers.
Kasjia might not know much about the Eldar, but he definitely knew Warhammer very well.
Even the Craftworld Eldar have their own Inquisition.
Living in the world of Warhammer 40K, we all have a bright and beautiful future.
"Besides, the Craftworld Eldar are currently having a hard time protecting themselves."
"They are completely incomparable to the currently thriving Imperium of Man, which is carrying out a Great Crusade."
Kasjia was the one who was going to stir everything up.
If the Great Betrayal could not be interfered with, the outcome of the entire galaxy plunging full speed into the cesspool would not change in any way.
"Since you are willing to respect me, I will not make things difficult for you. Just leave quickly."
"If we encounter the same enemy in the future, we can still cooperate as allies."
"As for going back to be the Phoenix King... let's just forget it."
Kasjia said earnestly.
Craftworld Eldar.
Let's not contact each other in the future. I'm afraid Old Man Gold will misunderstand.
Seeing Yriel turn back to leave with a dejected look, Kasjia breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned his head to look at the Emperor's Children beside him.
"Also, those were just the crazy ravings of the Eldar just now. As the Emperor's Children, you definitely won't believe such rumors, right?"
"...Yes."
Vespasian replied after a moment of silence.
That he is the reincarnation of Asuryan... even if it's a heresy, it must not be spread!
Especially not to the ears of a certain big golden guy.
(He already knows.)
Kasjia didn't know what kind of outcome he would face if the other party were to find out about this.
The glory of the Third Legion must also be defended!
But since the Eldar were all gone, now the Third Legion couldn't possibly—
"Wait! Kasjia, we're not leaving!"
Yriel suddenly turned back again.
She wasn't leaving.
Is there no end to this!
"I've decided," Yriel said.
"My Path has now changed to the Path of the Outcast. As an Eldar Corsair, I apply to join your fleet."
"After the Ork attack, your warship is currently short of skilled crew and Navigators."
"And we can just fill this gap."
Yriel said with hope.
Although Kasjia was a human, the Flame of Asuryan in his hand could definitely not be faked.
Even if he was just an ordinary person...
...taking a ten-thousand-step-back, the fact that he could cut the connection between the Eldar and the Thirsting Lady, allowing them to return to the Infinity Circuit after death, already had an unparalleled attraction for any Eldar.
"So, are you willing to accept our proposal?"
To be able to travel with a god was already a great honor for Yriel.
Not to mention she had long wanted to leave the Craftworld and become a free Corsair, to explore this magnificent universe as she pleased.
As for her Path?
She planned to stay by Kasjia's side at all times and record all the words and deeds of the human incarnation of Asuryan before he formally awakened.
As for the name...
...let's just call it the Analects of the God.
