Chapter 495 "Balance" "Curse" "Open"

After Sui Yang's intervention, the remaining half of the Emperor's Sons have been completely healed.

The flesh and blood that were originally integrated with the armor are now separated again, and no longer show any signs of distortion.

Even "their" faces, which had long been distorted by the corruption of Chaos, have returned to their former glory.

After taking off their helmets, these Emperor's Sons once again showed their flowing silver hair and handsome facial features.

Even though they have fallen into the abyss of Chaos, at this moment, they all exude the heroic spirit commensurate with the title of Emperor's Son, as if trying to prove that they still have the possibility of returning to the light.

However, this rare "rebirth" is not completely flawless.

The only thing that seems to spoil the scenery is that a clear "sin" is clearly imprinted on the left cheek of each Emperor's Son.

The words were deeply embedded in the skin, burning like flames, and emitting a faint light. The surrounding skin still had a slightly burnt red feeling, representing a brand that would never fade.

The mark of sin was not only a warning of the evil deeds they had committed in the past, but also an unavoidable humiliation -

reminding every child of the Emperor that even if they were given the opportunity to be reborn, they must always bear this indelible guilt.

? ? ! !

With the restoration of vision, these children of the Emperor finally saw their own changes.

When they looked down at the body and armor that had returned to normal, shock and disbelief filled their faces, followed by ecstasy and relief, like a surging wave.

They thought they were the inevitable end of their sins and unforgivable.

The emperor of the main universe would mercilessly punish them with "heavenly punishment" and burn them completely with psychic flames, turning them from body to soul into dust.

But now, they were given such an unexpected opportunity -

an opportunity to be reborn.

Even when they raised their hands to touch the branded "sin" on their left cheek, the ugly mark had a burning pain, and it showed the heinous crimes they had committed in the past.

But compared with falling into the abyss or turning into ashes, this humiliation seemed insignificant.

More importantly, with the recovery of their bodies, they no longer felt the rejection of the rules of the physical universe, and finally got rid of the torture and slavery of chaos.

However, when they looked around, they found that half of their brothers were missing.

This discovery was like a cold blade, instantly cutting the wave of joy, and replacing it with a heavy calmness.

They soon realized that those brothers might not be forgiven, and perhaps they had paid the price of their lives.

The remaining Emperor's children lowered their heads, and the joy that originally emerged from surviving the catastrophe was gradually replaced by shame and regret.

Some clenched their fists, trying to suppress the surging self-blame in their hearts, while others closed their eyes, as if trying to seal the memory of the sin forever.

They were like survivors who crawled out of the edge of the abyss, fortunately they were still alive, but unable to get rid of the guilt in their hearts.

The burning mark on their left cheek became an eternal reminder.

No matter how hard they tried, they had to bear the bitter fruit of the past and the loneliness of never being able to integrate into the "Children of Man".

"Father?"

Seeing this, Fulgrim was slightly confused.

His eyes wandered between the figures of those Emperor's children. Obviously, he was puzzled as to whether the half that disappeared was alive or dead, or where they were transferred.

But Sui Yang just glanced at his son with his peripheral vision and did not give any explanation.

Then, Sui Yang's sight fell back on the surviving Emperor's children in front of him, his deep and majestic eyes seemed to penetrate the soul.

After a moment of silence, he finally spoke, with unquestionable authority and calmness in his tone, and every word hit the nerves of everyone present like a heavy hammer:

"After that, they will be incorporated into the organization of the Sons of Man Legion, but as for how to deal with the relationship within your legion and how to quell the public grievances caused by you, these are all your sole responsibility, Fulgrim, do you understand?"

Fulgrim straightened his body, with a touch of awe and gratitude in his eyes. He bowed his head slightly, and his tone was even more respectful and firm:

"I understand, father, and thank you for your understanding."

"No need to thank me." Sui Yang raised his left hand slightly, as if to stop Fulgrim from expressing further.

And at the moment when his hand was slightly raised-

Boom---! ! !

A terrifying psychic pressure suddenly descended from the sky above the core area of ​​New Argo.

The invisible force swept over like a huge wave, shaking the entire space.

"Ugh!"

Fulgrim's body suddenly stiffened.

Even a strong Primarch felt shortness of breath due to this indescribable pressure, as if an invisible mountain of ten thousand meters was pressing on his chest. Fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, indicating how much pressure the Primarch was under.

Hundreds of imperial guards and three hundred Phoenix Guards were "fixed" in place, their bodies were still trembling obviously, and even it was difficult to maintain a clear consciousness.

Fortunately, the psychic pressure released by Sui Yang was not aimed at the Primarch, the Imperial Guards and the Glory Guards.

Otherwise, even the Primarch would become like a "mortal".

And the Emperor's children who were "locked" by the pressure knelt directly on the ground, their bodies twitched uncontrollably, and they uttered subtle and painful groans.

Their faces were pressed against the cold ground, and they were even completely deprived of the strength to raise their heads.

At this moment, they deeply felt the absolute strength of the Emperor of the Main Universe.

It was a power beyond their imagination, an existence that could not be resisted, which instantly filled their hearts with fear.

The most important point was that the long-lost tremor from the depths of their souls made them involuntarily recall the memories of ten thousand years ago.

That is, the shattering destruction of the Perfect City, the devastating punishment of the Word Bearers Legion under the Emperor's anger, these tragic scenes that had long been buried by time, now appeared vividly in their minds again.

They finally understood that the Emperor of the Main Universe in front of them was not an "ordinary replica" of the Human Emperor, but an absolute existence that could also easily control their life and death.

In the short moment under the pressure, the pride, resistance, and even the arrogance hidden in the depths of their souls were all crushed into dust, leaving only fear and regret.

This emotion was like a heavy chain, tightly binding their souls, making them realize that the so-called "forgiveness" is far more awe-inspiring than extinction.

Sui Yang looked down at the emperor's sons kneeling on the ground, his eyes were like an endless abyss, making it impossible for the other party to look directly

Of course, the emperor's sons now can't even complete the simple action of raising their heads, let alone looking directly into his eyes.

After a moment of silence, he seemed to let the pressure thoroughly permeate every soul.

Then, he spoke, his voice rolling across the wilderness like thunder, and every word carried an irresistible authority:

"Your lives no longer belong to Chaos, nor are they controlled by their dirty shackles. From this moment on, you are only loyal to humans and the Empire - this is your only path and your last chance."

Sui Yang's voice was full of coldness, like a sharp blade piercing people's hearts:

"Don't think this means forgiveness. The mark on your face is proof of your crime. Carrying this sin is your atonement for those who have paid their lives because of your fall.

If anyone dares to set foot in Chaos again, or goes against the will of the Empire and hurts innocent people, People, what awaits him is not judgment, but complete destruction. "

Sui Yang paused slightly, swept his eyes across the crowd, and continued:

"Remember, the mercy you receive today is based on the blood and tears of countless sacrifices. I will give you a chance, but only this time.

If anyone tarnishes the name of "Son of Man" again, he will lose everything and be nailed to the pillar of shame forever, becoming a warning of history and bearing eternal curses. "

After speaking, the pressure gradually dissipated, but Sui Yang's figure was as heavy as a mountain, pressing on every son of the emperor. Or, in other words, the son of man who became a "sinner", let them remember the weight of this warning for life.

And Sui Yang turned around and walked towards the exclusive Thunderhawk gunboat in the moored state.

His back was like a silent deterrent. When he was about to step into the cabin, his eyes fell on Fulgrim.

Although he didn't say a word, it was full of meaning.

No mistakes, just read it in the 6-9 book bar!

Fulgrim immediately understood that this was a silent reminder to pay attention to the balance within the legion.

At this moment, more than 1,500 "Emperor's Children" were finally able to stand up.

And in their eyes, Fulgrim was not only a bridge that connected them to return to the Empire, but also their "father" who could survive here.

It was Fulgrim who took the huge risk of being accused of "heresy" to plead with the Emperor for them. Otherwise, they might have turned into ashes in the psychic flames.

In addition, the ruthless pressure just applied by Sui Yang added an unshakable authority to Fulgrim's image.

This authority not only came from their gratitude and respect for Fulgrim, but also from their supreme trust in their "father" and the Primarch.

The interweaving of complex emotions destined Fulgrim to become their spiritual pillar after they joined the Legion of the Sons of Man.

However, this does not mean that Fulgrim's task will be easy.

The 2nd Company of the Sons of Man was almost exhausted and suffered heavy casualties due to the invasion of the demon Fulgrim and the Emperor's Children. In layman's terms, it almost "lost all its wealth", so the 2nd Company has a deep hatred for the Emperor's Children.

This hatred is not only because of the war damage, but also because of the deep pain they felt after witnessing their compatriots and brothers being slaughtered wantonly.

The most difficult thing is that there are already a large number of "offspring" from the Planet of Harvest within the Sons of Man, and these people are even more furious with the Emperor's Children.

If Fulgrim cannot properly reconcile internal conflicts, or even completely quell the hostility between the two, the legion may fall into endless hatred and conflict.

If he is not careful, it may trigger an irreversible internal struggle and riot.

Therefore, Fulgrim must "keep the water level".

Therefore, Sui Yang would silently remind Fulgrim to do a good job of balancing the legion.

However, Sui Yang has unparalleled trust in Fulgrim.

Fulgrim not only has the ability to handle internal relations well, but also has enough wisdom and decisiveness to not do extremely stupid things, such as directly allowing these "sinners" to come into contact with 2, or even allowing these "sinners" to supplement the 2 company.

It is highly likely that they will be sent to the edge of the Milky Way in the Halo universe to launch a "redemption expedition" against the remnants of the Covenant and the Flood.

In addition, Fulgrim should also understand that the existence of these "sinners" means much more to the Empire than sending a signal to the rebel legions that "the Empire can forgive you."

For the Imperial Biological Department, their appearance is tantamount to a huge breakthrough.

The gene seeds from the Warhammer 40k universe, especially those purified by Sui Yang's psychic energy, are extremely precious research materials.

The researchers in the Biological Department will be excited by the arrival of these gene seeds, and may even regard it as an opportunity to push biotechnology to a new peak.

At this time.

The moment Sui Yang stepped into the cabin, the hatch slowly closed.

Fulgrim looked at the Thunderhawk gunboat formation that had already taken off and gone away. Fulgrim understood that his father had almost handed over the handling and aftermath of this Chaos invasion to him.

Every step that follows, Fulgrim must face with an extremely cautious attitude.

It is necessary to let the "veterans" who have been included in the Sons of Man receive due punishment in the physical universe, and to appease the hatred and resentment of the "descendants" and the people of the empire.

And the trust and expectations of his father are the greatest motivation and heavy responsibility of this Primarch.

——

Soon after, in the cabin of the exclusive Thunderhawk gunship;

"."

Sui Yang was sitting in his seat with his eyes closed.

The Thunderhawk gunship formation is heading towards the low-Earth orbit, and then it will go to the space gate on the back side of the Plenty Star, and go directly to the "Trench Crusader" universe numbered "13".

As for the half of the Emperor's Children who disappeared, they were not actually burned to ashes by his psychic shock.

On the contrary, after he completely cleared the influence of chaos and healed their souls and bodies, he "dragged" them to the hell realm.

And among this group of Emperor's Children, there are more than a hundred thousand-year-old veterans.

Sui Yang did not leave the ten thousand year old veterans in the physical universe. After all, if that were the case, the overall strength of the Sons of Man led by Fulgrim would be somewhat "superior".

The combat experience and overall strength of the ten thousand year old veterans, coupled with his psychic healing, can be said to crush most of the current Glory Guards.

That's why Sui Yang sent half of the Emperor's Sons, including the ten thousand year old veterans, to the regional realm to "work".

If a colony in a certain universe encounters a large-scale invasion similar to the New Argo again, and other legions cannot provide timely assistance, then he, sitting on the golden throne, can "teleport" this group of Emperor's Sons to the colony at the cost of consuming a certain degree of psychic energy.

In other words, the identity of this group of Emperor's Sons is equivalent to an "alternative" cursed legion.

After Sui Yang has dealt with the "transformation" of the battle knights and battle sisters, he will consider when to open the space gate to other universes again.
