Chapter 468: Rebellion? Homogeneity?
Angron was even more frightened.
He in the main universe could hardly believe that "he" in another universe would degenerate into such a lunatic with no sense at all after being implanted with the Butcher's Nail.
Once upon a time, Angron believed that he was a being with the ability to absorb pain and influence others.
This is also his consistent advantage.
However, his other self, who was almost identical to him, actually became the embodiment of violence driven by the Butcher's Nail, and all emotions and rationality were distorted into extremely violent instincts.
He understood that this twisted deviation was the horror of the Butcher's Nail, but when he heard the "past" described by his father, he still felt deeply shocked and regretful in his heart.
At the same time, Fulgrim's heart was also "overturned."
His facial expression was instantly distorted, and his eyes widened in disbelief, as if he couldn't understand that he in another universe was actually a "masochist", eager to endure endless torture and humiliation?
Fulgrim has never wavered in his concept of "love and beauty". Even when facing the deepest ugliness, he can forcefully find the beauty in it. However, he, who was completely distorted by chaos, is Struggling in the whirlpool of madness, he completely became a monster who lived for pain.
To be honest, when they learned from their father that "they were traitors", they were filled with anger, pain and confusion.
At the same time, they couldn't help but reflect on whether their "self" in another universe was, to some extent, forced to embark on this dead end?
The souls of these Primarchs are filled with deep contradictions and entanglements. They not only "see" the deviation they once chose, but also feel the silent inducement and inevitable tragedy. It seems to be an inevitable tragedy. The tragedy of fate.
The most typical example is Angron.
Originally, Angron in the "Warhammer 40k" universe was leading a group of loyal comrades and brothers, preparing to overthrow the slave owners and nobles who oppressed them. Seeing victory right in front of them——
However, at this most critical moment, the human emperor in the "Warhammer 40k" universe forcibly intervened in an irresistible gesture, completely interrupting this uprising that was about to succeed.
This decision directly led to the failure of Angron's uprising, and also caused him to permanently lose those gladiator comrades who shared the joys and sorrows with him and were brothers.
The Angron designed by the Butcher was implanted, and his mind was completely destroyed, becoming a prisoner of despair and pain.
Just imagine, if the human emperor can provide timely assistance and help Angron successfully overthrow the slave owners, not only will the entire planet be liberated, but Angron will also have a well-trained and experienced gladiator army.
The most important thing is that these gladiators have a deep emotional bond with Angron. They are not only excellent warriors, but also the backbone of the close integration between the Primarch and the Legion.
In this way, Angron's legion will not be a simple cold-blooded killing tool, but an indestructible fighting collective composed of loyalty and brotherhood.
But the reality is exactly the opposite. For the sake of so-called "efficiency", the Emperor chose to reach an agreement with the slave owners and directly bring the entire planet under the rule of the Empire, while abandoning Angron's comrades.
This decision not only caused Angron's complete heartbreak, but also planted the seeds of his future corruption and betrayal.
The Primarchs "standing" in front of the Golden Throne, through various signs, behaviors and characteristics, only felt that the human emperor in the "Warhammer 40k" universe was a superior, ruthless existence, which also made them disappointed. Almost beyond words.
In their view, the human emperor did not seem to regard the Primarch as a descendant connected by blood, but more like a batch of cold tools used to expand the territory and conquer the universe.
From Angron's experiences to the tragedies of his other brothers, they discovered that the Emperor almost never showed any paternal concern in his actions.
Whether it is the decisiveness of decision-making or the indifference to sacrifice, it is clear that the emperor and that man always put efficiency and interests above all emotions.
It is this callous and ruthless attitude that gradually creates cracks in many of the original bodies, and they even begin to question deep in their hearts——
As the father of the Emperor, does he really deserve such a title?
In comparison, their "real" father Sui Yang is undoubtedly much better than the human emperor in the "Warhammer 40k" universe.
Although Sui Yang was not perfect, Sui Yang never hesitated to give these Primarchs heartfelt care.
Sui Yang not only worked hard to create a happy and fulfilling childhood for them, but Dr. Alexia Ashford and Queen Tinas Lothrian also gave them meticulous "maternal love".
For example, Horus and Magnus still remember their father accompanying them, like a normal family, going to the cinema to watch family-friendly comedy movies, or going to the mall in New Accra for "blood shopping" and so on.
It is precisely because of this rare care and support that although the originals were occasionally confused as they grew up, they were always able to find their inner balance.
When they learned that in another universe, half of their brothers had betrayed the empire and fallen into Chaos, they were inevitably shocked and confused at first, but that emotion was just a momentary wave, and was soon replaced by rationality and stability.
Every primarch understood from the bottom of their hearts that they had completely different destinies because Sui Yang told them the true meaning of "father" through his actions.
"Father."
After a brief silence, it was Guilliman, also one of the eldest sons, who broke the deadlock.
He slowly raised his head, his blue eyes filled with deep thoughts and a little temptation, turned his gaze to Sui Yang, and asked in a low and clear voice:
"Since you know the past of that universe very well, and you also have us genetic primarchs as your descendants, are you the peer of the human emperor in that universe?"
This question solidified the atmosphere in the hall again, and all the original bodies focused their eyes on Sui Yang, as if expecting to get an answer from their father that would change their perceptions.
"."
Sui Yang pondered slightly and did not immediately answer Guilliman's question.
After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke, his voice calm but with a hint of heaviness:
"Maybe, maybe not, my memory of that universe comes from another channel rather than personal experience."
He paused, his eyes wandering between the originals, as if he was considering every word, "But if I am really the emperor's peer in that universe, then the only thing I want to do is to make up for those irreparable mistakes. "
Sui Yang's tone gradually became firmer, and his eyes revealed deep care and responsibility:
"I will never let you be isolated, humiliated, and treated indifferently like in the past in another universe.
What I pursue is to make each of you feel supported and belonging, and to let you know that you are not only a warrior, but also a living being with flesh and blood and a soul. "
After the words fell, the huge hall fell into silence again, but in the expressions of the original bodies, those doubts and uneasiness seemed to be gradually soothed by an invisible warmth.
"After Istvan 3 and 5, the rebels launched a general attack on Holy Terra, but during this period..."
Sui Yang said slowly, his eyes scanning the faces of every original body in the hall.
His tone was calm, but it contained a heavy emotion, and he continued to tell them about the embarrassing and major events in the "Warhammer 40k" universe.
He described in detail the critical stages leading up to that brutal offensive and defensive battle.
The rebels swept across the galaxy, and the loyal Imperial legions were retreating steadily, even losing effective contact with Holy Terra.
During this turbulent period, Robert Guilliman, Sanguinius and Leon Jonson chose to jointly establish the "Second Empire" in order to save the last hope of human civilization.
Hearing this, the expressions on the faces of Guilliman, Sanguinius, and Leon became obviously complicated.
Although there was no obvious accusation in Sui Yang's tone, and he did not even pay attention to their emotional changes, for them, the historical description of the explosion in that universe still made them feel uneasy.
Guilliman lowered his eyelids, seeming to be thinking about something. Sanguinius frowned slightly, his eyes flickering, while Leon remained calm, clenching his fists quietly, obviously being touched by certain emotions in his heart.
Because the "Second Empire" was established to continue the fire of human civilization, but it was also suspected of betrayal.
Later, Sui Yang brought the topic to the attack and defense of Holy Terra.
The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.
He spoke in a low voice of Sanguinius's return to Terra with his forces in an attempt to save the Empire's fate.
However, even though this heroic primarch "foreseen" being killed by Horus himself in the decisive battle and died a heroic death, he still generously served his cause without hesitation.
Sui Yang paused for a moment, and his expression became more solemn: "In the final showdown, the human emperor went to the front line in person to engage in a life-and-death battle with Horus.
Although the Emperor of Mankind finally succeeded in killing Horus, the price was heavy. "
The human emperor in "Warhammer 40k", in order to temporarily escape from the shackles of the Golden Throne, had to sacrifice his wise man and best friend, the Prime Minister of the Empire, Malcador Malcador.
Although this action brought victory, it left the Emperor seriously injured and almost completely incapacitated.
In the end, the human emperor was permanently bound to the Golden Throne to maintain the empire's spiritual power and guide its course, but he was reduced to a "living corpse" as a result.
After Sui Yang finished speaking, the huge hall fell into silence.
The expressions of the Primarchs were complicated, ranging from shock at that devastating war to deep sympathy and helplessness for their own fate in that universe.
What happened next was even more embarrassing.
Those primarchs who participated in the rebellion either perished in the chaos and killing, or completely fell into the abyss of chaos and became pawns and slaves of the evil gods.
The Loyalist Primarchs ended similarly tragically, either disappearing mysteriously and never being heard from again, or, like Robert Guilliman, being seriously wounded in battle and on the verge of death.
In the end, Guilliman was placed in a stasis field by the Ultramarines, like a statue that could not be awakened, and became a static legend.
However, regardless of loyalty or betrayal, the end result is the same; the empire gradually slides into endless darkness and stagnation, losing its former glory and hope.
Despite these chilling revelations, Sui Yang did not reveal further details about the later stages of the Warhammer 40k universe to the Primarchs.
He chose to hit the mark, telling only the necessary key events, while downplaying the more far-reaching disasters and depravities.
After all, his primary goal was to let his sons know "themselves" in another universe, recognize the tragic fate of that world, rather than let them be troubled by too many dark details.
More importantly, Sui Yang knew the cunning of the Chaos Evil God, especially the calculation and corruption that broke out in the Kuikangtuo incident.
Because of this, he deliberately avoided those parts that might cause the evil god to spy and influence, so as to prevent his sons from being disturbed by unnecessary threats.
When Sui Yang's voice fell, the atmosphere in the hall was still solemn, but the eyes of each Primarch were full of contemplation.
Obviously, they were deeply touched by the ending of that universe, but because of Sui Yang's caution, they remained sober and vigilant enough.
"Father." At this time, Horus, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke:
"You tell us this because you hope that we will be prepared to avoid the temptation and interference of those fallen evil gods?"
Sui Yang nodded slightly, his eyes were as deep as the sea of stars, revealing endless majesty and kindness.
He did not deny it, but responded in a calm and firm tone: "Yes, Horus.
And this is not only for you to prepare, but also for me to share with you what happened in that universe, which can be regarded as a long-standing worry in my heart."
Said here, Sui Yang raised his right hand and waved it gently, and all the holographic screens floating in the air turned into streams of light and dissipated in an instant.
The meditation hall returned to peace, leaving only the magnificent colonnade and the sky-like dome, showing solemnity.
Sui Yang stepped back to the throne made of gold and runes. The huge throne was more magnificent and inviolable against the backdrop of the main universe emperor.
He sat on it, his eyes swept across the faces of the Primarchs below the stage, and continued:
"Now, the evil gods and demons hidden in the warp are becoming more and more rampant and restless, which just proves that our human empire is on the right path.
That is why they try their best to destroy us and corrupt us."
Sui Yang's voice was low and penetrating, echoing in the hall, as if it was branded in the depths of the soul of every Primarch.
"You must remain vigilant. Once you detect the signs of Chaos invasion, you must respond quickly at the first time to protect the peace of the empire."
"Yes, father!"
The Primarchs responded in unison, their voices firm and powerful, echoing in the magnificent throne hall.
A resolute flame ignited in their eyes, which was an oath of loyalty to their father and loyalty to the empire, and also the belief they would fight and fight for.
