Warhammer 40: Mortal Gods

"I think he may have been terminated, and then merged into the icy sun in the warp, becoming part of many wills." The Emperor himself said, "In the past, I could feel the expansion of the icy sun. The light is ten thousand years It’s just torture, not all of them were broken into pieces.”

As he spoke, the emperor seemed a little depressed: "Among so many universes, is there not one universe where I have successfully completed my goal?"

"There aren't many universes, at least it doesn't seem to be much now." Qin Mo told the emperor what the Star Scroll told him, "The reality we are in is the most solid, strong and complete. Maybe Vulcan was swept away That universe is extremely fragile... I don't think the mere failure of reality is enough for the warp to overlap with a reality."

The emperor sighed, adjusted his mentality, and patted Vulkan on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work. It's not easy to come back, but you have to face a lot of mess."

"When I was desperate in another reality, only to find that I only regarded the place I was involved in as my original home, and my original home was still holding on, I didn't feel any hardship." Vol. Gan put his hand on the emperor's hand on his shoulder, "I can still contribute to the survival of the human species, and still have the opportunity to contribute. This is already a great happiness for me. ”

The emperor opened his mouth, but finally just nodded slightly.

"Where's Russ?" Vulkan looked at the other brothers, "And Dorn, and Corax... I thought they had returned."

Mentioning Corax, Guilliman shook his head helplessly: "Dorn, Russ, their whereabouts are still unknown, but I estimate that they will be found soon. As for Corax, he has been found, but he may Will return to humans, maybe not, at least it seems more likely now.”

"What happened to Corax?" Vulkan asked with concern.

"He..." Guilliman recalled the appearance of Corax he saw during the Golden Crusade, "He has changed a lot. When I saw him, I couldn't believe it was Corax. He looked He looks like...a subspace creature, but one thing remains unchanged, and that is that he is still on the side of humanity, just like you and us."

"I don't understand why Corax hasn't come back yet." Vulkan shook his head, "The outer appearance is not real, the inside is the most important thing. Corax is still fighting for humanity, then humanity will still be there. If you can accept him, he can continue to fight against all enemies for humanity and the truth of the empire."

Hearing Vulkan suddenly mention the Imperial Truth, Sanguinius remained silent, Guilliman sneered slightly angrily, Llane looked away, and Jaghatai grinned.

This strange reaction made Vulcan look puzzled.

"He returned during the Beast War. I thought he knew what happened." Qin Mo smiled and shook his head, "You should tell Vulkan."

In Vulkan's confused eyes, Guilliman made Vulkan understand all the changes with one sentence.

"If Corax comes back decisively as you said, what he will face is not enemy fire, but the hostility and fear from humans, not because of what he has done, but just because of his appearance. "

Hearing this, Vulgan was stunned.

"What are you freaking out about?" Ryan patted Vulkan on the back of the head, "You returned during the Beast Wars, and you don't even know what changes have taken place in the empire?"

Vulcan shook his head.

He did return during the Beast Wars, but he didn't stay long, let alone travel around to understand the current situation of the empire.

The situation was urgent at that time, and Vulkan almost immediately threw himself into the war after his return, and then traded beasts for one.

However, if there is something wrong, I did feel it, but I don’t have a detailed understanding, so naturally I don’t know the reason.

"The Imperial Truth is a lie," said Guilliman. "An even greater lie replaced it, and the Ecclesiarchy was born. Humanity has now completely abandoned science and reason. They worship our father as a god, and persecute those who do not worship him. If you were the Primarch, and you said you did not think our father was a god, the Ecclesiarchy would dare to argue with you for days."

Although Vulcan is honest and kind, he is not slow or stupid.

When Guilliman spoke about the Ecclesiastical Religion and Faith, Vulkan immediately thought of everything that might have happened, and understood why Corax was unwilling to return.

"But Corax has his own considerations about not coming back. After all, even if the empire cannot accommodate him like that, he can go somewhere else." Guilliman looked back at Qin Mo.

Qin Mo raised his eyebrows and added: "When Vulcan returned, it should be 546.M32, and the pope of the state religion became the high lord in 500.M32. Perhaps the state religion had not developed so fast at that time, so Vulkan didn't see it. In short, everything has changed as Guilliman said."

Vulkan became completely serious now.

He didn't particularly care about the state religion. After all, no matter what thoughts they had, humans were still humans. If something as big as the Horus Heresy happened, it would be wishful thinking that the empire would not be severely damaged and humans would not change.

In any case, as a warrior, do what you should do as a warrior, and human beings will not no longer need to protect and defend because of changes in their thinking.

What Vulkan really feels heavy about is the current situation that he has not yet understood.

After being swept into another universe by the subspace, Vulkan's experience as a gravekeeper for traces of humanity affected him, and he was terrified of the extremely horrific ending that humans would fall into.

There was a war going on right now, and Vulkan felt somewhat imminent.

"What's the current situation of mankind?" Vulkan said with difficulty, ready to bear the heavy crisis.

"It's not bad, actually." Guilliman counted on his fingers and told Vulkan, "Abaddon, the captain of the Sons of Horus' First Company, is dead. We now have powerful allies. We have fought a war to completely shut down the Eye of Terror. You should know that Horus is dead. Paturrab is missing. Fulgrim enjoys himself every day and doesn't care about anything. Magnus' soul is not even complete. I defeated Mortarion without even having to lie down... Right now we are facing a group of skeletons who want to exterminate mankind."

"Eye of Terror?" Vulkan wondered.

"Cygnus Anomaly-X is the anomalous astronomical phenomenon discovered by Turab, which instills psychic rifts in the real universe." Guilliman explained.

After hearing this, Vulkan lowered his head and digested what he heard.

Then his hanging heart dropped with a bang. He raised his head with a smile on his face: "Looking at how serious you are, I thought we were besieged on all sides. Either another orc warlord came to Terra or those who rebelled. I broke out of Cygnus Anomaly X again, and the situation is pretty good now.”

"Hmph." Ryan crossed his arms on his chest and said in a deep voice, "When you and your heirs are ready, I will immediately deploy you into the most difficult battle. I hope I can see you again next time. How can you be so optimistic?"

"Just drive me." Vulkan smiled and nodded, "Send me to the place where mortals have the most difficulty and need me the most. Anywhere will do."
