Chapter 25 Magnus's Peeping
Li Wei stood in the very center of the circle, directly beneath the warship, serving as the eye of the entire formation.
As he chanted the incantation in a low voice, pale golden psionic patterns spread out from beneath his feet, connecting to the feet of every Thousand Warrior.
Countless golden rays intertwined, forming a complex and magnificent magic array that enveloped the entire 50 million-ton ship.
"Psionic Infusion!"
At Li Wei's command, two thousand warriors simultaneously activated their spiritual power.
A surge of powerful spiritual energy flowed into the magic array like a tidal wave, and golden light shot into the sky, illuminating the entire underground cavity.
"rise!"
Veins bulged on Li Wei's forehead, and his spiritual energy surged wildly throughout his body.
He sensed the subspace energy surging towards him, drawn by the Thousand Warriors.
As the core of the formation, he is like an energy hub forcibly opened by the pressure of millions of tons of water.
He used his mental power as a conductor, attempting to twist the two thousand raging torrents of psionic energy into a stable lift.

Suddenly, the psionic circuit trembled violently. Li Wei instantly sensed the abnormal vibration in the psionic transmission and immediately activated the Abyss Resonance Technique to forcibly sort out the chaotic subspace energy and stabilize the array that was about to collapse.
Pale purple lines reappeared at the corners of his eyes, and a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
The massive ship trembled slightly under Li Wei's control and slowly moved away from the bottom of the cave.
The warships rose higher and higher, getting closer and closer to the ground.
But just as it was about to burst out of the cave and gain its freedom, a sudden change occurred.
The Earth's core suddenly erupted with a violent tremor. The entire alloy-reinforced pit wall held up for a moment before collapsing in an instant, and countless skyscraper-sized boulders, accompanied by smoke and dust, crashed towards the warship.
At the same time, the formation's spiritual energy supply also suffered a fatal disruption, and several of the weaker Thousand Sons warriors coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground.
The golden light dimmed instantly, and the massive warship suddenly sank and began to plummet downwards.
"not good!"
Li Wei's face turned deathly pale. He tried his best to activate his spiritual energy, but he was completely unable to stop the 50 million-ton steel behemoth from falling.
Just as the giant ship was about to crash to the ground, crushing the more than two million people on board and the thousand warriors in the formation into a bloody pulp.
A dazzling crimson beam of light suddenly descended from the sky, piercing through the collapsed mountain and steadily catching the falling warship.
A figure draped in a golden robe and wearing a feathered helmet slowly emerged from the pillar of light.
A pair of enormous wings made of pure psionic energy unfurled behind him, and countless flying runes surrounded his body. He was none other than Magnus, the Primarch of the Thousand Sons.
He landed lightly beside Li Wei, and with a wave of his hand, he crushed several boulders that were about to hit the center of the formation into dust. His gaze swept over the crumbling golden formation, then fell on Li Wei, whose mouth was bleeding, and a hint of lingering fear flashed in his eyes.
"The Archmage!" Levi was both surprised and delighted. He hadn't expected Magnus to save them like a divine intervention.
Magnus nodded slightly, his voice gentle yet carrying an undeniable authority: "Stabilize the formation, Levi. Leave the rest to me."
He stretched out his hand, and an overwhelming amount of spiritual energy surged from his palm, flowing into the Mandala Spirit Gathering Array.
The originally dim golden light suddenly increased tenfold, becoming even more dazzling than the midday sun.
The falling warship regained its footing and, with the combined efforts of the two, slowly passed through the clouds and flew into the dark space.
On the ground, Peturabo stood at the edge of the loading platform of Warehouse No. 3, looking up at the red beam of light in the sky, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the tactical terminal on his wrist armor.
He watched as the giant, silvery-white ship grew smaller and smaller until it became a tiny dot and disappeared into the horizon.
After a long pause, he coldly spoke into the communicator: "Stop loading resources. All transport ships, immediately proceed to space, dock with that silver-white vessel, and evacuate the remaining civilians."
"Primarch? What about the remaining resources..."
"No need to transport any more." Perturabo turned around and walked towards the Stormhawk ahead. "That's about enough. We only have an hour left. It's time to go."
The moment the silver-white behemoth sailed into the dark space, long-suppressed cries and thunderous cheers erupted from its cabins.
Inside the ship, more than two million surviving civilians of the Empire were crammed together. The passageways and emergency exits were packed with people, and many elderly people and children could only huddle in the corners of the modular living quarters, with no room to even turn around.
But at this moment, they are all indulging in the ecstasy of surviving a disaster.
Li Wei sensed that the silver ship had completely broken free from the gravitational pull of Dawn Star, and his tense nerves finally relaxed, spitting a mouthful of blood onto his power armor.
Magnus quickly stepped forward and lightly touched Li Wei's brow with his fingertip. A warm and pure life energy surged in, soothing the damage caused by the energy surge within his body.
Seeing that Levi's breathing was gradually returning to normal, but he was still so exhausted that he could barely stand, Magnus sighed softly:
"If I had known you would end up like this, I should have shown up when you were about to push the ship. I was a bit too arrogant, thinking that your psychic abilities were enough to move that silver ship."
"But unexpectedly, the Earth's core suddenly erupted with a violent tremor, almost causing a disaster!"
His tone carried a hint of helplessness, as well as an unconcealable lingering fear.
Li Wei was taken aback, then looked up at Magnus's genuinely concerned face: "Archmage, have you been following us the whole time?"
"Otherwise what?"
Magnus sighed, a look of disappointment and frustration welling up in his eyes.
"You, on the other hand, have been spending all your time organizing those moldy ancient books and scrolls, or fiddling with those psionic manuscripts from lost civilizations, ever since the flesh mutation was completely eradicated. You've been putting off the Legion's military affairs as much as possible, and you even missed three Legion meetings last month."
"This mission to Dawn Star is your first time commanding the advance force of the Thousand Sons Expedition on a large scale. I'm really worried about you, so my flagship, the Fortep, has been following you closely."
He paused, his tone turning serious:
"Li Wei, I know you enjoy working with books, but Ahriman is too obsessive, Apophis is too mild-mannered, and the chief mages of the other three major schools each have their shortcomings and are not up to the task."
"Only you possess both sufficient psychic talent and a calm mind. I need your help."
Li Wei fell silent.
He didn't want to do this, but the source of the Infiltrator System's hub points was mostly obtained by organizing ancient books, so he had no choice in the matter.
Moreover, with more points, he would be more confident in obtaining more wizarding power and getting rid of Tzeentch's secret covetousness.
They are also more confident in completely isolating the thousand children from the chaos.
After thinking for a moment, Li Wei decided to participate more in frontline military command in his spare time in order to appease Magnus's concerns.
"I'm sorry, Archmage. From now on, I will prioritize military affairs."
