Warhammer: I don't want to become a stinky can!

Page 357

Well, that's just a pointless statement. Everyone present, except for the Emperor, booed.

Makado let out a cold laugh.

“I’d rather work with the sculptures in front of Terra Palace than be with you.”

The emperor waved his hand, once again stopping the crowd's mockery.

"The next scene is about to begin,"

The Emperor said,

"If you need to go out and do it quickly, or you will miss the start of the next scene."

"By the way,"

The Emperor said,

"You can invite a few more Primarchs over to enjoy the next scene together."

The emperor moved his hand slightly, feeling the white feathers brush against his skin.

Saint Gilles...

However, upon hearing the Emperor's words, the Primarchs who had accompanied him to the "Good Dad Movie Screening" immediately scattered like birds and beasts, getting up and leaving in an instant.

Hades also took the opportunity to slip out for some fresh air, fearing that he would be beaten by Macado if he stayed behind.

Angron strode forward, and the Lord of the Red Sands patted Hades abruptly on the shoulder.

【here you go,】

Anglong said gruffly,

Well done, Hades!

He raised the Coke cup in his hand.

[Homage to Hades!]

Mortarian, who had been walking silently to the side, also spoke in a low voice.

[...Homage to Hades.]

[Homage to Hades.]

Killieman's serious and solemn voice rang out from behind them.

Magnus paused, pursed his lips, and gritted his teeth.

【…】

[Homage to Hades!]

Hades smiled, then looked up and saw a dim, golden figure in the distance.

[Respectfully dedicated to Luojia.]

He said.

Act 2 Prologue [Second Empire]

Act 2. Prologue [Second Empire]

"...These are...one second empire after another—hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!"

—A sharp comment from Xi Gaoqi.

"Scholars of the Empire have to admit that during that period, the Second Empire, proposed by Guilliman and composed of Mortarian, commander of the Death Guard, and Angron, commander of the World Eater Legion, made indelible contributions to maintaining regional stability.

The Dark Side of the Empire, proposed by Saint Gilles and formed by the Second Empire (also known as the First Divine Kingdom by the common people) with Leon Johnson, the commander of the Dark Angels Legion, and Conrad Coz, the commander of the Midnight Ghosts Legion, also played an important role in saving the Dark Side from falling into chaos.

Chapter 421 Everyone Has a Bright Future

I just...

The bright sunlight streamed in through the window, and Robert Killieman, sitting on the sofa, looked up and saw a few white clouds drifting across the clear sky of Macurag.

The warm aroma of tea wafted around him, and Guilliman's foster mother, Yoton, watched him quietly, encouraging the demigod with her eyes to continue.

Killieman sighed wearily.

I just don't understand what happened.

He helplessly spread his hands, as if to express his confusion about the current situation.

Three squads of Iron Warriors arrived in Macragge, led by Danteok, whom I've mentioned before—the Iron Warriors' War Blacksmith.

When the Iron Warriors were mentioned, Guilliman paused slightly.

"A rational and resolute good soldier, I do remember him."

Euton said calmly,

"What's wrong? I think this might be worse news than the extinction of the Star Torch?"

After a moment of silence, Killieman took a deep, deep breath, buried his face in his large hands, and ran his fingers through the short blond hair on his forehead.

I don't know.

Killieman said slowly,

He said...Petulabo is dead.

The tea in Yoton's hand rippled almost imperceptibly, but Guilliman continued speaking.

Or worse, he betrayed us.

"Betrayed your father?"

Yoton asked softly, and the mortal woman heard Guilliman inhale, then Guilliman gave a low hum.

Every Space Marine has a special connection to their Primarchs. Danteok told me that in the months leading up to the Extinction, every Iron Warrior he knew experienced some kind of terrifying vision.

He firmly believed that something ominous had happened.

Killieman paused, then sat up straight and looked at Euton. He realized he had been cruel; he shouldn't have told Euton all this, adding to her stress.

He was right, as it turned out.

Killieman said,

On that final day, they all had the same dream—

Killieman's voice softened, and he seemed quite perplexed by the matter as well.

After Hades, the master of the Order of Silence, they could no longer sense their connection with Peturabo.

Yodon blinked, and she opened her mouth.

"And that day was—"

[Day of Calamity.]

Guilliman answered Yotton's question.

[The starlight was extinguished, the galaxy was torn apart, a third of the psionicists in the five hundred worlds of Macragge went mad, and the rest were unable to live normal lives for the foreseeable future.]

Yoton fell silent, as did Gillyman across from her. Outside the room, the birds of Macurag were chirping noisily in the branches.

Inside the room, steam slowly rose from the teacup.

"It sounds like something happened in our blind spot."

Euton said she asked tentatively,

Are you upset about this, my child?

Killieman felt a bitter taste in his mouth, but ultimately, he answered Ms. Euton.

【Um. 】

Guilliman responded with a sullen sound; he must look quite disheveled, he thought.

Yodon's voice rang out from inside the room.

"But you did a good job, Lord Macragge. Didn't you successfully appease the people that day and send in an army to unify the management of the psionicists?"

"Perhaps something cruel is happening in this galaxy,"

Yoton paused for a moment,

"But the five hundred worlds of the Limit remain intact under your leadership, and perhaps the other worlds and legions are the same."

"We just can't get in touch with them for the time being."

A tense smile appeared on Guilliman's lips, but slowly, he relaxed.

Killieman shook his head slightly and said,

I shouldn't be so pessimistic.

He may have truly been terrified by the Milky Way that day; even now, standing anywhere in the Macurag plains and looking up, you can still see that scar that runs through the Milky Way.

Euton shifted, took a sip of tea, and continued.

“Tell me about Hades. I heard from Gage that Macragge’s recent coercive actions against psionicists were based on the experience of the Order of the Silent?”

"And Danteok and the others dreamed of Hades. I remember you mentioned him; he should be a Death Guardian?"

Guilliman smiled.

In fact,

He says,

I don't know exactly what Hades is, but I do know that he and Mortarion have unique insights into psionicism.

【but……】

Killieman recalled the scene.

[When I saw this good soldier again, he was with Makado.]

“Imperial Regent Macado,”

Yoton spoke,

"Then it seems that Hades is not just a simple Death Guard."

Guilliman shook his head.

He won't. I realized his unparalleled talent long before he was a Death Guard.

He took a sip of tea.

[If only he were in Macurag right now, the Ultramarines desperately need someone like him.]

Yodon smiled.

"Maybe you'll run into him?"

Killieman nodded.

If he could travel through subspace, he would have come here.

The guiding starlight went out, and in order to maintain navigation near the Limitless Kingdom, Guilliman lit the Phaeus Lighthouse, which Danteok and his party had discovered.

The Phaeus Lighthouse, an alien technology, is, in some ways, a miniature starlight that can replace some of the guiding functions of the Terra Starlight.

In order to obtain information about the nearby star system, and in accordance with the agreement between Guilliman and the Twelfth Legion of World Eaters, the World Eaters were welcomed to Macragge for rest and reorganization.

Angron's homeworld, Nuseria, is located on the edge of the Limitless Realms, but for some reason, the Lord of the Red Sands does not like this planet.

Following the Nicaea Conference, the previously sparsely populated World Eaters were indeed searching for their own supply worlds. Out of pure brotherhood, Guilliman invited Angron and his group to Macragge for rest and recuperation.

Unaware that the World Eater was already over-supplied in the Maelstrom, Guilliman had created a rather difficult environment for the Twelfth Legion.

Before the World Eater Legion even reached Macragge, the Star Torch had already been extinguished.

In order to allow the Twelfth Legion to find Macragge and to save the ships stranded in the turbulent space near the Limitless World, Guilliman chose to light the Phaeus Lighthouse.
