Chapter 520
His clothes were in tatters, and the scars on his body were like intricate maps, recording his past battles and struggles. Despite this, his posture remained upright, as if silently telling his loyalty and tenacity. He continued: "Here, every wall is filled with the breath of despair, and every stone has witnessed the wailing of countless prisoners. I am willing to use everything I know to answer your questions."
The goals of the betrayers were obviously not simple. Their eyes were like cunning cheetahs, locked tightly in the depths of the forgotten prison. There, a once-feared existence was imprisoned—Luthor, the leader of the fallen angels. His name was like a cold iron lock, locking every corner of the prison and instilling fear in the hearts of those who tried to get close. However, these betrayers seem to have an ulterior motive. They are not afraid of hardships and do whatever it takes, just to release Luther from the dark corner and trigger an unprecedented storm. "
The name "Luthor" echoed in the mind of the Imperial Regent, with a faint sense of familiarity, which made him frown involuntarily. He clearly remembered that this man named Luther was the adoptive father of the powerful Lion King Ryan, and he was also his closest and best friend. The Imperial Regent pondered for a moment, recalling the dusty past thoughtfully. Lion King Ryan, the brave and fearless warrior, his adoptive father Luther.
In his distant childhood, Lion King Ryan Ariel Johnson encountered a sudden disaster. That day, the Chaos Evil God set off a turbulent storm in the subspace, ruthlessly involving him. The wind was howling and the darkness was boundless. Under the influence of the storm, Ryan Ariel Jonson was swaying like a leaf. At this critical moment, he was thrown out by magical power, traveled through endless time and space, and finally landed in a knightly world called Caliban. This is a land full of glory and dreams. The arrival of Ryan Ariel Johnson has undoubtedly brought new vitality and hope to this ancient land.
Deep in the desolate and inhabited forest of Caliban, monsters are rampant and the atmosphere of chaos and corruption is permeated. This is a forbidden land that even the brave dare not easily set foot in. In this cursed land, the Lion King lives alone, isolated from the world, and keeps company with monsters. However, it was not until the tenth year after Ryan's arrival that the barbaric land ushered in a glimmer of civilization. An organization of knights from afar, shouldering a mission, bravely stepped into this dangerous forest. They trudged forward in the deep forest, and finally found the savage-like lion king in a hidden corner. He was wearing a rough animal skin, and his eyes showed unyielding and tenacity, as if he was the guardian of this desolate land. In the eyes of those high-ranking knights, the wild child Lion King was originally ignored. They regarded this solitary man from the wilderness with indifference, considering him unworthy of comparison with the noble order of knights. However, it was at this moment that Luther stood up bravely and insisted on accepting the Lion King into the Knights.
Luther is not only an outstanding knight, but also a wise and discerning leader. His decision allowed the Lion King to say goodbye to loneliness and wandering, and became a member of the Knights. For the Lion King, Luther means much more than just a subordinate. He is not only the lion's guide in the knights, but also his mentor and helpful friend on the road of growth. Luther used his wisdom and courage to open a door to glory and honor for the Lion King, and at the same time pointed the way forward for this young wild child.
Under Luther's guidance, the Lion King gradually transformed and was no longer the wild child that no one cared about. He learned the honor and responsibility of a knight, and also understood the true meaning of friendship and trust. Luther is not only Lion King's superior, but also his indispensable partner in life. Together, they wrote a legendary chapter.
From the moment the Primarch returned to the Imperium in glory, Luther was naturally promoted to the number two position in the Dark Angels Legion, second only to the Primarch himself. The Lion King had high hopes for him, not only giving him supreme power, but also giving him deep trust and lofty honor. Luther is regarded as the mainstay of the Legion and the Lion King's most capable assistant. However, just when everyone thought that Luther would loyally assist the Lion King and create the glory of the empire, something unexpected happened - Luther betrayed everything. He betrayed his former beliefs, abandoned his former glory, and turned the power in his hands into a sharp sword that stabbed the Lion King. This betrayal not only shocked the entire legion, but also left an indelible stain on the history of the empire.
Luther was once the most dazzling star in the sky. However, behind the halo of glory, the shadow of jealousy followed. Finally, under the dual corrosion of glory and jealousy, he gradually lost himself and fell into the embrace of chaos, unable to extricate himself. In this dark abyss, Luther's mind gradually became distorted, and he began to question everything and deny everything.
Driven by this state of mind, Luther led the Dark Angels who stayed on the planet Caliban and launched a rebellion that shocked the universe. They rebelled against the original order, challenged the shackles of authority, and tried to break the shackles that bound them. In this chaotic whirlpool, the Dark Angels are like petrels in the storm, flying high and moving forward bravely.
However, the rebellion was not all plain sailing. Under the leadership of Luther, the Dark Angels paid a heavy price, but they still firmly believed that only by getting rid of their shackles can they regain freedom. In this protracted war, Luthor and his followers displayed amazing perseverance and courage that made the entire universe tremble.
This rebellion left a deep imprint on history and was later known as the "Battle of Caliban". The outbreak of this battle was not accidental. It contained profound historical background and social contradictions. In fierce conflicts and confrontations, the forces of all parties intertwined, eventually leading to this shocking war. The name "Caliban's War" became synonymous with this rebellion and has been passed down to this day.
In that cruel and ruthless counter-rebellion war, Caliban, the home planet of the Dark Angels, suffered violent orbital bombardment from the fleet. The ruthless beams and explosives tore the planet into countless fragments. At the same time, a sudden warp storm raged through, leaving the remains of Caliban in pieces. Under this devastating attack, the once prosperous planet of Caliban was reduced to ruins. The heroic leader known as the Lion King also mysteriously disappeared during the war. His whereabouts remain a mystery to this day, making the entire galaxy mourn for him.
In the subsequent battles, many Dark Angels arrived on the bloody battlefield one after another. They searched the messy battlefield and finally found the lost Luther. His eyes were empty, as if he had lost all hope of living. The Dark Angels were unable to get any useful information from him and could only regard him as a prisoner of war. Out of sympathy for their former comrade, they did not torture him to extract a confession, but instead chose to imprison him, where they have continued to this day. During these long years, Luther has never been able to get over the shadow of that war, and the Dark Angels have never been able to understand what happened to this former warrior to turn him into this. .
"Okay, take me to see Luther." Following the steady footsteps of the Dark Angel, the Imperial Regent, illuminated by dim torches, stepped into the depths of the Stone Fortress, where was the eerie prison area. The air was filled with the smell of moisture and rust, and every few steps were closely guarded by fully armed soldiers. Their vigilant eyes swept across the regent and his entourage, but no one dared to block their steps. The regent's face was stern and his eyes were as bright as a torch, as if he could see through everything even in this dark prison.
In the deepest part of the cold and damp prison, the tired and worried eyes of the Imperial Regent penetrated the air filled with blood and despair, and settled on the figure who was tightly bound on the cross by countless cold iron chains. That was a man who once had high hopes from the empire, but was now dubbed a "traitor" - Luther. His body had deep bloody marks from the chains, and pain and humiliation were intertwined on his face, but his eyes still showed an unyielding tenacity.
In esoteric cosmology, the lifespan of the Astartes is endowed with an almost infinite quality. Time flies, and ten thousand years have passed quietly since the battle of Caliban that shocked the past and the present. However, in this long river of time, Luther's face seemed to be protected by magic, still maintaining his youthful appearance, leaving no trace of time. His eyes were as clear as ever, revealing endless wisdom and profound tranquility, making people full of awe and curiosity about the vitality of the Astartes.
"Imperial Regent, please proceed with caution." The Dark Angel stood in front of the Imperial Regent with a serious expression, and there was an unquestionable warning in his tone, "Luthor has completely fallen into the embrace of Chaos, and his spirit has fallen into It is in an extremely unstable state and may lose control at any time, posing a great threat to you.”
He scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to take in every corner to ensure that no potential crisis was missed. "Luthor's former sense and self-control are now gone. His heart is filled with chaos and anger. Such emotions are like a time bomb that may explode at any time, causing you unpredictable harm."
The Dark Angel's brows were furrowed, and his voice was low and firm: "In this dangerous situation, you must always remain vigilant and not be careless. I will guard you, but Luther's madness is unpredictable, so please be careful. ""
"I have made more than three or five evil princes who have become demons. I don't think this so-called powerful existence can surpass those fallen demon princes." The imperial regent walked calmly, his eyes were as cold as ice, and he looked straight He walked towards Luther who was tied to the cross with heavy iron chains. His figure looked particularly lonely in the dark cell, as if even the air around him was solidified by his presence.
Luther, the once feared evil prince, now lowered his head feebly, and the scars on his body seemed to be the silent lament of a loser. But there was no sympathy or pity in the regent's eyes, only calm scrutiny and profound thinking.
"Your power is nothing more than that." The regent spoke coldly, with unquestionable authority in his voice, "Let me tell you, true strength does not come from becoming a demon, but from inner firmness and the strength of will. ”
Following his words, Luther's body trembled slightly, as if the deepest fear in his heart was touched. The Regent continued to approach him, and every step was like a heavy hammer, beating Luther's dignity and pride.
As the mysterious dark angel revealed, Luther's mental state has indeed fallen to the bottom and is close to collapse. The warrior who was once fearless, noble and mighty on the battlefield has now become like a beggar on the street, dishevelled and ragged. When the Regent of the Empire slowly approached, Luther's eyes revealed deep fear, and his trembling body seemed to collapse at any time.
Luther's past was full of glory and splendor, but now he can only tremble in a dark corner. His eyes have lost their former firmness and confidence, replaced by confusion and helplessness. The figure of the Regent of the Empire is like a terrifying demon in his eyes, which is chilling. Luther tried to struggle to escape, but his legs were as heavy as if they were filled with lead and he couldn't move a step.
All these changes make people sigh at the impermanence of fate. The warrior who once galloped on the battlefield and was invincible has now become like this. Perhaps, only under the revelation of the Dark Angel can people vaguely glimpse the unspeakable pain and struggle in Luther's heart.
