Inside the casino, Yvraine arrived with a group of Death God Army executives and Ark Prophets. Clearly, the Prophets had been pointing and commenting on all of Commorragh during their journey.
They reached the casino hall, which was filled with scantily clad Drukhari sisters, constantly trying to entice these old men from the Ark… "Come play, old man!"
At this moment, an old Prophet pulled a handsome middle-aged Prophet uncle, pointing at the Drukhari girls.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Aeldari, look, it's so cold, and these girls are dressed so lightly. Tsk tsk, it's truly scandalous."
Aeldari Asooran, the Eldar Prophet is one of the oldest and most prescient Eldar Psykers, and also the Chief Supreme Prophet of the Ark World, Ulthwé. He very much enjoys meddling in already overly complicated situations, attempting to adjust the scales of fate to ensure the continued existence of all Eldar.
(There's an image in the paragraph comments.)
Of course, if he could incidentally cause some losses to other races, that would be even better.
Asooran's life before becoming a prophet is unknown; the only certainty is that he was involved in music, as the saying goes: "If the music is off, Aeldari will look."
So, as the most famous Supreme Prophet of Ulthwé, he was actually a late bloomer, and he often missed meetings of the Prophet Council.
Asooran was also the main person in charge of the Prophet's Path. The teaching and practical principles of the Path of the Prophet were all planned by him, and he was the one who changed the main job content of this profession from "fortune-telling" to "fortune-telling and striking people with lightning."
Before the The Thirteenth Black Crusade, Abaddon personally led an attack on Ulthwé, targeting its Prophet Council. The Warmaster's forces struggled through the almost abandoned Ark World, suffering heavy casualties under the Eldar's guerrilla tactics, but Abaddon ultimately reached the Council Dome.
He found that Asooran was waiting for him with two subordinates. The old Prophet openly mocked Abaddon's poor martial arts, and Abaddon immediately proved this point to everyone:
"Chaos Arnault charged forward, delivering a flurry of attacks that killed one passerby Prophet, and then had his arm broken by Asooran's two normal attacks."
The Eldar then stuffed Abaddon and the remaining invaders into a Dreadclaw, wrote "Abaddon the Great Loser," "Abaddon the Great Armless," and other insulting nicknames all over the hull, and finally shot it back into the Eye of Terror amidst hysterical laughter. During the The Thirteenth Black Crusade, Asooran stole the crystallized corpses of Prophets from various Ark Worlds, attempting to prematurely summon the as-yet-unborn 'Death God' ynnead, the Eldar Death God rumored to be able to save all Eldar from Slaanesh.
The side effect was that the Imperium's Astronomican might go out for a while, but what does that have to do with my Eldar?
Aeldari planned to initiate the summoning ritual on a satellite composed entirely of psychic crystals. To this end, he orchestrated the Battle of Port Demesnus to distract surrounding forces, but the Imperium's anti-xenos special forces, the Deathwatch, discovered his intentions and arrived at the ritual site in time.
Aeldari attempted to persuade the Deathwatch, stating that the ritual he was about to begin would inflict devastating blows on both sides' "true enemies."
However, the loyal Space Marine of the Imperium responded to his speech with artillery fire, stating that even if the universe burned before their eyes, they would not trust a xenos scum.
Asooran, whose ritual had failed, found his troubles compounding. The Prophet Council of Ulthwé confirmed his previous grave-robbing and corpse-stealing activities, and also discovered that he had artificially crystallized parts of the Prophets' corpses to use as casting tools, a crime punishable by death.
But then the intervention of the Harlequin Troupe saved the prophet's life; his punishment was changed from death to expulsion from the Ark World, with immediate execution if he dared to return. Aeldari subsequently joined the Eldar Death God Army, acting alone and separately from Yvraine to find a way for ynnead to be born.
However, with the unfolding of The Minor Rift and the destruction of the Ark World Biel-Tan, the Death God Army has now become one of the main fighting forces of the Ark Aeldari… Meanwhile, on the other side,
Li Feng was currently holding a tablet that Celestine had pulled out from who knows where, video calling with Sanguinius, and incidentally taking his wife on a "cyber tour" to see the local customs of Commorragh.
As for that tablet… it was probably taken from a compartment in the front of the power armour, because Li Feng felt it was still warm.
Signal? The Astronomican burns so many Psykers every day, the "phone bill" has already been paid.
"How's Commorragh? I see a lot of people there."
"It's alright. I just made a killing at the gambling table. I'll buy you some souvenirs later."
"Alright, I've sent Khan and Russ, those two children, to find you with their people."
Just as the two were talking, a group of people stormed into the casino, running straight into Li Feng, who was holding the tablet and showing Sanguinius the casino.
"Hey! Isn't that Yvraine? What a coincidence!"
Yvraine, who was at the front, was stunned. She looked at Li Feng in front of her, and Sanguinius's big face on the tablet's large screen, with a puzzled expression:
"Mr. Li? Miss Sanguinius? You two…"
Sanguinius on the screen immediately greeted them: "Oh, what a coincidence, isn't this The Thirteenth's wife?"
At this moment, Asooran and a group of Eldar Prophets looked puzzled; they were not yet aware of the news of the Death God Army's "marriage alliance" with the Imperium of Man. Visarch immediately explained to the Prophets that the Death God Army was cooperating with the Imperium of Man, and since Chaos was a common enemy for both, cooperation would be beneficial.
To show that the Death God Army was getting the better deal, Visarch gritted his teeth and said, "Currently, the Imperium of Man is trying to marry off their Thirteenth Prince to us…"
Immediately, that group of old Prophets started to act as if their lives depended on it, exclaiming:
"Allied with monkeys! This will surely ruin the ancestral rules!!!"
"Those barbaric mon-keigh, they cannot be trusted!!!"
And as the old Prophets were carrying on, Asooran, somewhat curious, walked over to Yvraine, who was chatting with Li Feng and the woman in the small projection box.
He was clearly interested in this small box, intrigued by this mon-keigh creation. At this moment, Eliette, clutching a pile of spirit stones she had just exchanged for chips, arrived with a half-cart full of spirit stones.
As soon as she arrived, she ran into a group of Death God Army members and Ark Prophets. Eliette looked at Asooran in front of her, completely stunned.
Asooran's name was known to all from Commorragh to Biel-Tan, yet such a powerful figure stood right before her. It was like going to an arcade to play a game, only to find that your opponent in the Laser Gun game was Musk (Tesla) or Bezos (Amazon). Or going to eat "luosifen" on the street and finding that the aunt making the noodles was Lisa Su (AMD).
"Prophet Aeldari?"
Hearing someone call his name, Asooran turned to look in the direction of the voice, and the sight of Eliette startled him.
This girl was pushing a cart full of spirit stones, good heavens! Was this like robbing an "organ hospital"?
"Judging by your attire and the insignia on you… you are a Wanderer (of the Path), aren't you?"
