$730, The Gathering of Storms: Guilliman at the Turning Point of History (XVI)

【Soon after, under the gaze of all of you, Primarch Guilliman held a short return ceremony.

【He slowly activated the Armor of Destiny, held the Emperor's Sword burning with psychic flames, stepped onto the command throne in Macragge that had been vacant for 10,000 years, and accepted the worship of all the Ultramarines and the Ultramar Auxiliary Army. 】

【After this symbolic ceremony, Primarch Guilliman, who couldn't wait to know more information and the truth, began to meet with all the people who came to awaken the Primarch and support Macragge. 】

【He first summoned the current Chapter Master of the Ultramarines, Calgar, and others, and then met with the Living Saint Saint Celestine, the Inquisitor Greyfax, and the Marshal Amarachi of the Black Templars, and the Grand Master of the Grey Knights who came to support the Ultramarines. 】

【Even the God Envoys Yin Furenne and Thousand Faces from the Eldar Death Army received a secret summons from Primarch Guilliman. 】

【During this period, the Primarch Guilliman, who had almost never stepped out of the palace room, also had a longer and continuous conversation with the Archmagos Cawl. 】

【After about a few days, you, as the brother of the Primarch Guilliman, got the opportunity to meet him formally. 】

【It was just that an Ultramarines who was responsible for delivering the message took you directly to a private meditation room belonging to the Primarch, instead of the palace room used to meet guests before. 】

【However, when you drove the Vibranium Power Armor and stepped into the meditation room. 】

【But you saw at a glance that the Primarch, wearing the Armor of Destiny on his tall and burly body, was sitting on the edge of a huge wooden table, and the blue giant hands covered with heavy ceramic steel tightly covered the entire bronze face.

【You haven't had time to say anything yet. 】

【The Primarch Guilliman, who had already noticed your arrival, suddenly raised his slightly distorted bronze face, staring at you with a pair of painful eyes that seemed to contain countless complex emotions. 】

【"My little brother, ten thousand years, I actually slept for ten thousand years!"】

【"Look at what humans have become now? Maybe we are the same, blind faith, ignorance, suffering, decadence..."】

【"Even all these things are popular in the name of a "god"! What's more ironic is that this "god" himself hates this title!"】

【As a Primarch brother, you silently listened to the other party's complaints and complaints. 】

【You intend to comfort the Primarch Guilliman's somewhat collapsed emotions and thoughts after learning all the truths about the human empire in the past ten thousand years. 】

【However, at this time, the Primarch Guilliman, who slightly turned his painful eyes, stared at an ancient painting that seemed to depict the Emperor and continued. 】

【"We failed, father. You failed your sons, and we failed you. Our arrogance and vanity created the human empire today. We failed humanity itself!"】

【"Didn't Horus declare that you abandoned humanity and tried to ascend to godhood, and used this as an excuse to launch the great rebellion? Wouldn't the human empire's current state cause him to gloat over it?!"】

【"But why am I still alive!"】

【At this moment, the Primarch Guilliman suddenly drove the Armor of Destiny to stand up from the huge wooden table. He stared at the elegantly decorated wall, which was a painting of a halo of the Emperor himself, and roared almost like a roar.

["What else do you want from me? I gave everything to you and them, and look what they have done to our dreams!"]

["Now there is no trace of reason and hope in the bloated and corrupted remains of the Empire. Only endless fear, hatred and ignorance maintain this dying and stiff corpse!"]

["If I had known this, I would rather be burned to pieces by the flames of the traitors in the fire that Horus ignited himself than live to see all this!"]

[At this moment, you stare at the Primarch Guilliman, whose aura suddenly collapsed, and step forward. ]

[You stand beside him, look up at the bronze face of the Primarch Guilliman, and say indifferently. 】

【"Brother, do you know that I was just a mortal from another world, yes, a powerless mortal."】

【"I fought for the human empire on many tragic battlefields from the perspective of a mortal. I witnessed countless mortal compatriots paying the price of their lives for their homes, their beliefs, and their future."】

【"At that time, I seemed to be accompanied only by death. I was so weak that I couldn't change the direction of a war, or even control the final fate of any mortal..."】

【"Brother, do you know what gave me the strength to keep fighting? Do you think it was the Emperor? No, it wasn't her, or it was not just her concern for me."】

【"It was a weapon handed to me by my comrade who was about to die in battle, a pot of clear water given to me by the human civilians I saved at the risk of their lives, and a pair of purple-eyed children that I always hid in the depths of my memory and never dared to forget..."】

【"Guilliman, you can go to the window of the meditation chamber and take a look. There are countless human people and warriors cheering for your awakening and return. Each of them has just lost their family, friends, children and relatives due to the invasion of Chaos, but what can they do? They can only cry bitterly in secret and continue to rebuild their homes, because as long as they are still alive, they have to continue to live even if the days are full of suffering!"】

【"How innocent they are, how innocent the human race itself is! Because the root cause of all this has never been us humans, but those traitors who betrayed their own race! So we, the Primarchs who can shoulder the difficult responsibilities, must fight! Keep fighting, even if you are about to die!"]

["If you think they are ignorant and blind, then guide them as the Primarch and point them on a more correct path. If you think they are ignorant and decadent, then teach them slowly as the Primarch and learn to listen to their words and wishes!"]

["Guilliman, my brother, my brother... The human empire of ten thousand years may have been irreversible and rotten, but there is still hope for the human race!"]

[At this moment, your heartfelt words seemed to quietly instill a spark of fire into the Primarch Guilliman, completely igniting the ideal place that already existed deep in his heart.]

[The next moment, the powerful aura emanating from the entire tall and burly body returned, and the Primarch Guilliman, who was even more powerful than before, turned around and looked down at you, and said in a low and powerful voice. 】

【"Little brother, you are right. I was lucky enough to grow up in a better era, a golden age full of hope and triumph. As a descendant of the Emperor and one of the extraordinary primarchs of the human empire, I have no right to complain."】

【"If I were to face these human subjects who grew up in the dark age of ignorance and chaos, but whose courage and strong will had not diminished in the slightest, how indulgent and willful would I be if I showed a trace of weakness and helplessness?"】

【The primarch Guilliman standing in front of you slowly placed a huge blue hand on your vibranium shoulder armor. 】

【Now he seemed to have locked all the sadness and desolation in the depths of his soul and heart, leaving only the terrifying rage for justice and the Chaos traitors. 】

【"I always believe in the endless potential of our human race. I think there is still hope for a more glorious future to be realized. Even the decaying human empire still has the possibility of rebirth from the ashes..."】

【"Anyway, thank you, little brother. Thanks to your existence, I understand that even today, ten thousand years later, I am not alone. There are still people fighting with me."】
