Chapter 806 [248] Who Is the Bad Guy?

Chapter 806 【248.】Who is the bad guy?

[Mortarion...]

On the throne, [Guilliman]'s fingertips rested on the small chess piece. In the eyes of the rebel who was burned to black by the chaotic fire, the three kinds of light from chaos have never been extinguished.

[Who do you want to see? ]

[Guilliman] murmured to himself, the countless data lines on the crown flickering, continuing to transmit commands to the entire empire.

[What exactly is your goal...? ]

With a raised tone, [Guilliman] had a smile in his eyes, and he remembered the way [Mortarion] looked at him every time.

It was a wild dog that was never well-raised. No matter how he tamed it with sticks or tempted it with raw meat, he combed every bit of its fur and decorated it with fine gold and silk to make it look like this. thing.

But it can never be concealed, the ambition and madness behind the glamor.

[Mortarion] Ah... [Mortarion]...

[Guilliman] sat up straight, it was time for him to see what the First Rebel longed for.

[Guilliman] sighed lightly. None of his brothers could hold a big position. Their characters were too twisted and their goals were too extreme——

And he has never regarded the entire empire as his mission.

……………………

"woc, are you okay, Lao Mo?"

Hades said, he urgently used the Black Domain to check Mortarion's soul——

Mortarion's entire face twisted together as if he had eaten shit, but his soul did not really escape the inspection of the Black Realm.

Fortunately... Hades thought in his mind that there was no real damage, no curse or anything, and it might not even be as big as the mental damage caused to Mortarion by the loss of his black domain.

"Okay, it's okay."

Hades took back the Black Realm, Mortarion could be seen breathing a sigh of relief, and Guilliman beside them also clearly relaxed his expression.

"What did he tell you? You two started arguing less than 30 seconds after I left."

Mortarion felt angry and depressed. He was depressed that he was at a disadvantage in the confrontation——

He obviously cannot accept this and accept the fact that the opponent's combat power may be higher than his.

【threaten……】

Mortarion said hoarsely. He chewed the words of [Mortarion] carefully. Deep in his heart, he had never known his other goal so clearly.

Intuition, similar souls, similar jealousy and anger, let Mortarion easily find the answer.

The goal of [Mortarion] was never to help another empire restore and win, such nonsense.

The real goal of that [Mortarion] is to "replace", to replace this Mortarion, and leave himself in a glorious and future-filled destiny line.

This is the true goal of the first rebel.

A despicable thief - a buffoon who cannot face his own reality, a coward who wants to escape and is struggling with his past.

Mortarion thought that this was the ugly version of himself that he despised so much.

And he would never let the other person get what he wanted.

Mortarion still doesn't know how his other self plans to "replace", but no matter what, he will crush his plan.

Mortarion blinked, briefly freeing himself from his thoughts. He looked at Hades and Guilliman, who were looking at him with doubts and worries.

In this matter, Mortarion knew that Hades would help him unconditionally, there was no doubt about it.

But he didn't want to tell another of his goals for the time being - this would lead to misjudgment. Although Mortarion believed in Hades, Guilliman couldn't tell.

Politicians are all like this, smooth and sweet-talking. If Guilliman knew the goal of the Mortarion opposite, he would definitely say something like "We can win over this Mortarion for the time being."

This possibility must not happen.

Mortarion will never allow this short-term surrender to occur, even if the two empires are now in some vague cooperation-

But that doesn't mean they need to cooperate with that [Mortarion].

And once Guilliman has this idea, this stupid blue guy will definitely try to persuade Hades, and then the worst scene will appear.

Replace Guilliman with the Emperor, and the character would make similar choices.

Mortarion knew that the path Guilliman chose would usually be the path with the highest success rate, but this was something Mortarion would not allow. The risks and threats involved were unbearable for him.

He thought Karas would not allow Hades to call a bastard like Karas a good brother, just like calling a dog a wolf king. This simply tarnished their character.

[Threat... intimidation... He briefly showed his fangs, and the nature of chaos burned in his soul. 】

Mortarion spoke slowly, considering his words.

[I can feel that he is planning something - there is a high probability that it will not be a good thing, at least not something that is good for us. 】

[Why did he do that? 】

Guilliman asked.

【...Because of me. 】

Mortarion looked at Guilliman, the damn blue man,

[Won’t you feel angry after meeting the other you? 】

Guilliman's expression was briefly stunned for a moment, as if he was recalling his meeting with that [Guilliman]. Finally, Guilliman fell silent, showing a rare gloomy expression.

【I……】

Guilliman opened his mouth, his expression gloomy.

[I know what you are thinking... Bro, I think I support your point of view. 】

"Wait, what happened again?"

Hades looked confused outside the situation. Mortarion thought that Hades would be the kind of being who would have a great time chatting with his other self and even play games together - so Hades would never be able to understand them. .

Primarchs are always proud of their own uniqueness, and in some ways, some Primarchs even suffer a brief breakdown when they learn that they have brothers.

Therefore, a similar self is absolutely intolerable.

Mortarion looked up at Guilliman, thanking Guilliman for reaching a consensus with him in this regard - Guilliman on their side would indeed be better in this regard.

He decided to ask why Guilliman kept pestering Hades and promote Macragge to Hades later, at least until Guilliman was done with his work for the time being.

【in short,】

Guilliman looked at Hades and decided that he would come,

[We cannot adapt to a soul existence that is similar to ourselves but has fallen into chaos. We will subconsciously feel pain and anger - I think there may be the influence of subspace during this period. 】

Hades paused for a moment, and then showed an expression of realization.

"I see!"

Ahaha, he couldn't understand the matter of subspace. Hades glanced at Mortarion,

"But you should come with me to meet that Mortarion next time, otherwise you two will fight again - I think both sides should exercise restraint at least now?"

Mortarion remained silent and just spat out a breath of poisonous gas.

He also hopes to give him a showdown next time... He wants to get back in the game.

He hoped that the first rebel knew that why Mortarion was so successful now was because of his own strength and tenacity - during those chaotic ten thousand years, in some respects, Mortarion was truly Carrying up the entire empire.

He wields his scythe against Nurgle himself - rather than being a slave to Chaos.

Even if he is shattered to pieces, even if the entire legion is wiped out, Mortarion will never accept being a dog of Chaos. He will raise the flag of rebellion with his last breath.

The green pines are straight and unruly, disdainful of bowing.

In this regard, Mortarion possesses absolute consciousness - far more decisive than the cowardly rebel.

Even if it was for his comrades...such as Hades, Mortarion would never treat others like a dog.

This can be seen from the fact that he abandoned Hades and resolutely returned to Barbarus instead of staying in Terra to approve the official document for Guilliman.

【I understand,】

Mortarion took a breath,

[I will not take the initiative to attack before your plan, but if he provokes me... I think I at least have some negotiation rights. 】

[The measure of measurement is with you, Mortarion - Of course, I think there may not be many opportunities like this. The opposite empire is coming soon. That [Mortarion] just told me that we may need to prepare something soon. A dinner party. 】

[To let the generals on the opposite side show their faces - they are as curious about us as we are. 】

"Wait, you mean to let several Chaos Primarchs stay on the Macragge's Glory?!"

Hades looked at Guilliman in disbelief. Guilliman shook his head helplessly.

[I will choose the location again, but this time it is indeed a bit dangerous. 】

Hades frowned. Why did he feel that this was a bit like the Hongmen Banquet?

【I know what you are thinking,】

Guilliman opened his hand,

[I will try my best to ensure that there is no possibility of a quarrel between the two parties at the banquet, and I will also make a plan for what we will do if the other side attacks - but no matter what, this will be an opportunity, and we also want to know It's the opposite story, isn't it? 】

[Understanding the opponent as much as possible will at least lay the foundation for the two armies to fight against the Necron together. 】

Guilliman also had helplessness written all over his face.

[The Silent King and the Storm King are still fighting, but the Storm King's army seems to be gradually slipping into a disadvantage. I think we will soon face a Silent King with his hands free. 】

And, to make matters worse, the disadvantaged Storm King is activating various impermissible technologies, which will make the battlefield even more chaotic. Trazin is already complaining.

[So we need to prepare for an alliance as soon as possible. 】

"All right,"

Hades said with difficulty,

"I just have one question, do I need to appear?"

【unnecessary. 】*2

Guilliman and Mortarion said in unison, and then they looked at each other, and Guilliman decisively gave Mortarion the right to explain.

[You are our last trump card. 】

Mortarion explained,

[I think the other me will hide your existence, and this is our advantage. 】

…………………………

Hades...

[Mortarion] thought, he was still sitting quietly in the room Guilliman had prepared for him.

It was rare for him to feel the peace and order of this destiny.

But when he thought that his "brothers" were coming soon, [Mortarion] felt faintly irritable.

He didn't like them—he didn't like anything that had anything to do with Chaos, and he hated himself for it.

But it will all be over soon.

…………………………

【Terra】

"Another fate line..."

The Emperor sat in his lounge, slumped on the sofa, and behind him was Horus, who was sitting at the desk, assembling the Emperor's Dream.

His muttering seemed to be completely unheard by Horus.

In fact, after Guilliman went to the front, most of the daily affairs of the Empire returned to the Emperor, so the Lord of Mankind was also working diligently, but now he just happened to rest.

The Emperor, who had dispersed most of his power, was not enough now. He might be weaker than Guilliman now - the Lord of the Empire was now the real number one in the galaxy.

However, the Emperor sometimes wondered whether Guilliman could fully exert this part of his power.

"A very novel proposal."

The Emperor touched his chin, sat up again, and stared at the star map on the coffee table.

"I'm curious about how the other me lost - lost to Guilliman, was he also conceited?"

The Emperor blinked, Horus behind him was still immersed in the complicated assembly game that was a bit complicated for the Primarch, just like Curze, in this empire ruled by Guilliman, Horus did not have real power, his position was also awkward, and was avoided by his brothers.

But it seemed that as long as he was with the Emperor, Horus was very satisfied.

"Or was it because of something else?"

The Emperor asked himself, Horus, who was not disturbed by him, was still immersed in his own world.

"But... this did alleviate the urgent need."

The Emperor looked up, on the star map, space and time were chaotically mixed in the Eye of Silence, and the subspace and the physical world were in a mess.

This was due to the merits of the Storm King and the Silent King, and also because of the connection of the two destiny lines.

He saw the Necron army that covered the sky and almost covered the entire Eye of Silence.

There was also the human empire fleet huddled aside - in another strange position, a huge subspace storm was raging, and Chaos-style ships emerged from it.

On the other side, at the edge of the star map, a small psychic light spot was running desperately, and behind it, the monsters from the outer galaxy slowly entered the scene.

After them, the Emperor's favorite Valdor silently stayed where the outer ones originally stayed.

The Tyranids scattered on the edge of the empire also felt some kind of omen, the swarm was gathering - fleeing to a farther distance - let him see - well, the only way was the Eye of Silence.

On the other side, Hades's green-skinned little fans seemed to have new movements - but the Emperor didn't care much, the greenskins would not be the masters of this galaxy, they were born to be tools, and their fate was determined since birth.

Neos was silent, he stared at the Eye of Silence - fate would end and start here.

He felt a little itchy.

The last decoration on the side of the ship is missing... Horus straightened up in surprise, and he heard the Emperor lying on the sofa behind him speak easily.

"Shepherd Wolf God... Do you want to go to another completely different destiny line?"

Those Primarchs have all come to their destiny line, so they can also go as guests - [Guilliman] provided the Emperor with new ideas and methods.

[What - what do you mean, my father? ]

"I mean to pack your luggage quickly, Lupercal."
