From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 468: Rebellion? Homogeneity?

Angron was even more frightened.

He in the main universe could hardly believe that "he" in another universe would degenerate into such a madman and become completely irrational after being implanted with the Butcher's Nail.

Once upon a time, Angron believed himself to be a being with the ability to absorb pain and influence others.

This is also his consistent advantage.

However, the other self who was almost identical to him, driven by the Butcher's Nails, became the embodiment of tyranny, with all his emotions and rationality distorted into extremely violent instincts.

He understood that this twisted deviation was the horror of the Butcher's Nails, but when he heard the "past" described by his father, he was still deeply shocked and regretful.

At the same time, Fulgrim's heart was also in turmoil.

His facial expression instantly twisted and his eyes widened in disbelief, as if he couldn't understand how his self in another universe could be a "masochist" who actually longed to endure endless torture and humiliation?

Fulgrim never wavered in his ideals of "love and beauty". Even when faced with the deepest ugliness, he could force himself to find the beauty in it. However, he was completely twisted by Chaos and struggled in a whirlpool of madness, completely becoming a monster who lived for pain.

To be honest, when they learned from their father that they were traitors, they felt a mixture of anger, pain and confusion.

At the same time, they can't help but reflect that perhaps the "self" in another universe was forced into this dead end to some extent?

The hearts of these Primarchs were filled with deep contradictions and entanglements. They not only "saw" the deviation from their own choices, but also felt the silent induction and inevitable tragedy. It seemed like an inevitable tragedy of fate.

The most typical example is Angron.

Originally, Angron in the Warhammer 40k universe was leading a group of loyal comrades and brothers to overthrow the slave owners and aristocrats who oppressed them, and victory was just around the corner.

However, at this most critical moment, the Emperor of Mankind in the Warhammer 40k universe forcibly intervened in an irresistible manner, completely interrupting this uprising that was about to succeed.

This decision directly led to the failure of Angron's uprising, and also caused him to lose forever those gladiator comrades who had shared weal and woe with him and were as close to him as brothers.

Angron, who had already been implanted with the Butcher's plan, had his mind completely destroyed and became a prisoner of despair and pain.

Just imagine, if the Emperor of Mankind could provide timely assistance and help Angron successfully overthrow the slave owners, not only would the entire planet be liberated, but Angron would also have a legion of well-trained gladiators with rich combat experience.

Most importantly, these gladiators have a deep emotional bond with Angron. Not only are they excellent fighters, they are also likely to become the backbone of the close integration between the Primarch and the Legion.

In this way, Angron's Legion will not be a mere cold-blooded killing tool, but an indestructible fighting collective formed by loyalty and brotherhood.

But the reality is quite the opposite. For the sake of so-called "efficiency", the Emperor chose to reach an agreement with the slave owners and directly brought the entire planet under the rule of the Empire, while abandoning Angron's comrades.

This decision not only caused Angron's complete heartbreak, but also planted the seeds for his future corruption and betrayal.

The Primarchs "standing" before the Golden Throne, through various signs, behaviors and characteristics, felt that the Emperor of Mankind in the Warhammer 40k universe was a superior, cold-blooded and merciless existence, and their disappointment was almost beyond words.

In their view, the Emperor of Mankind did not seem to regard the Primarchs as blood-related descendants at all, but more like a group of cold tools used to expand territory and conquer the universe.

From Angron's experiences to the tragedies of his other brothers, they discovered that the Emperor had rarely shown any fatherly care in his actions.

Whether it is the decisiveness in decision-making or the indifference to sacrifice, it all shows that the emperor, that man, always puts efficiency and interests above all emotions.

It was this cold-blooded attitude that gradually created cracks in many Primarchs, and even caused them to question deep down in their hearts—

As the emperor of my father, does he really deserve such a title?

In comparison, their "real" father Sui Yang is undoubtedly much better than the Emperor of Mankind in the Warhammer 40k universe.

Although Sui Yang is not perfect, he has never been reluctant to give these Primarchs his heartfelt care.

Not only did Sui Yang work hard to create a happy and fulfilling childhood for them, but Dr. Alexia Ashford and Queen Tinas Losrien also gave them meticulous "motherly love".

For example, Horus and Magnus still remember that their father would accompany them to the cinema to watch family comedy movies like a normal family, or go to the shopping mall in New Accra to "go shopping".

It is precisely because of this rare care and support that, although the Primarchs are occasionally confused in the process of growing up, they are always able to find inner balance.

When they learned that half of their brothers in another universe had betrayed the empire and fallen into chaos, although they were shocked and puzzled at first, such emotions were only a momentary ripple and were soon replaced by rationality and stability.

Every Primarch knew in his heart that the reason they had completely different destinies was because Sui Yang taught them the true meaning of "father" through his actions.

"Father."

After a brief silence, it was Guilliman, also one of the eldest sons, who broke the deadlock.

He slowly raised his head, his blue eyes showing deep thought and some tentativeness. He looked at Sui Yang and asked in a low but clear voice:

"Since you know the past of that universe very well, and you also have us, the Primarchs, as your descendants, then are you the equivalent of the Emperor of Mankind in that universe?"

This question made the atmosphere in the hall freeze again. All the Primarchs focused their eyes on Sui Yang, as if they were expecting to get an answer from their father that would change their cognition.

"."

Sui Yang hesitated for a moment and did not answer Guilliman's question immediately.

After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke, his voice calm but with a hint of heaviness:

"Maybe, maybe not. My memory of that universe comes from another channel, not from my own experience."

He paused, his eyes moving between the Primarchs, as if weighing every word, "But if I really am the Emperor's equivalent of that universe, then the only thing I want to do is to make up for those irreparable mistakes."

Sui Yang's tone gradually became firmer, and his eyes were filled with deep care and responsibility:

"I will never let you be isolated, humiliated, and treated indifferently as you have been in the past in another universe.

What I pursue is to make each of you feel supported and belong, and let you know that you are not only a warrior, but also a being with flesh and blood and soul. "

As soon as the words fell, the huge hall fell silent again, but the doubts and anxieties in the expressions of the primarchs seemed to be gradually soothed by an invisible warmth.

"After Istvan III and V, the rebels launched a general attack on Holy Terra, but during this period."

Sui Yang said slowly, his eyes sweeping over the faces of every Primarch in the hall.

His tone was calm, yet filled with heavy emotions, as he continued to tell them about the major and heart-wrenching events in the Warhammer 40k universe.

He described in detail the critical stages before the brutal offensive and defensive battle.

The rebels swept across the galaxy, and the loyal Imperial legions were defeated and even lost effective contact with Holy Terra.

During this turbulent period, Robert Guilliman, Sanguinius and Lion Johnson chose to jointly establish the "Second Empire" in order to save the last hope of human civilization.

Hearing this, the expressions on Guilliman, Sanguinius and Lion's faces became noticeably more complicated.

Although there was no obvious accusation in Sui Yang's tone, and he didn't even pay attention to their emotional changes, for them, the historical description of the explosion in that universe still made them feel uneasy.

Guilliman lowered his eyelids, as if thinking about something, Sanguinius frowned slightly, his eyes flickering, while the Lion remained calm, but clenched his fists quietly, and it was obvious that some emotions in his heart were also touched.

Because although the establishment of the "Second Empire" was to continue the flame of human civilization, it also posed a suspicion of betrayal.

Later, Sui Yang turned the topic to the attack and defense of Holy Terra.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

In a low voice he recounted how Sanguinius led his army back to Terra in an attempt to save the Imperium's fate.

However, even though this brave Primarch [foresaw] that he would be killed by Horus himself and sacrifice a heroic death in the decisive battle, he still went to his death without hesitation.

Sui Yang paused for a moment, his expression becoming more solemn: "In the final showdown, the Emperor of Mankind went to the front line in person to fight a life-and-death battle with Horus.

Although the Emperor of Mankind ultimately succeeded in slaying Horus, the cost was terrible."

In order to temporarily break free from the shackles of the Golden Throne, the Emperor of Mankind in Warhammer 40k had to sacrifice his wise man and close friend, the Imperial Prime Minister, Malcador.

Although this action brought victory, it left the Emperor severely injured and almost completely incapacitated.

In the end, the Emperor of Mankind was permanently bound to the Golden Throne to maintain the spiritual strength of the Empire and guide the course, but he also became a "living corpse".

As Sui Yang finished speaking, the huge hall fell into silence.

The Primarchs had complex expressions, showing shock at the devastating war, as well as deep sympathy and helplessness for their own fate in that universe.

What happened next was even more deplorable.

Those Primarchs who participated in the rebellion either perished in chaos and killing, or fell completely into the abyss of Chaos and became pawns and slaves of the evil gods.

The loyal primarchs also met with tragic endings. They either disappeared mysteriously and never were heard from again, or like Robert Guilliman, they were seriously injured in battle and on the verge of death.

In the end, Guilliman was placed in a stasis field by the Ultramarines, like a statue that could not be awakened, becoming a motionless legend.

However, regardless of loyalty or betrayal, the final result is the same; the empire gradually slides into endless darkness and stagnation, losing its former glory and hope.

Although these truths are chilling, Sui Yang did not reveal more details about the later period of the Warhammer 40k universe to the Primarchs.

He chooses to be brief, telling only the necessary key events, while glossing over the more far-reaching disasters and corruption.

After all, his primary goal is to let his sons know "themselves" in another universe and recognize the tragic fate of that world, rather than letting them be troubled by too many dark details.

More importantly, Sui Yang was well aware of the Chaos Evil God's cunning, especially the calculations and corruption that broke out in the Kuikangtuo incident.

Because of this, he intentionally avoided those parts that might attract the evil spirit's prying and influence, so as to prevent his sons from being disturbed by unnecessary threats.

When Sui Yang finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall was still solemn, but there was contemplation in the eyes of every Primarch.

Obviously, they were deeply touched by the ending of that universe, but because of Sui Yang's caution, they remained sober and vigilant enough.

"Father." At this time, Horus, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke:

"Are you telling us this in the hope that we can be prepared and avoid being deceived and disturbed by those fallen evil gods?"

Sui Yang nodded slightly, his eyes as deep as the sea of ​​stars, revealing endless majesty and kindness.

He did not deny it, but responded in a calm but firm tone: “That’s right, Horus.

Moreover, this is not only for you to prepare, but also for me to share with you my experience in that universe, which can also be regarded as a matter of fact that has been in my heart for a long time. "

Having said that, Sui Yang raised his right hand and waved it gently. All the holographic screens floating in the air instantly turned into streams of light and dissipated.

Peace returned to the meditation hall, leaving only the magnificent colonnades and the sky-like dome, showing solemnity.

Sui Yang stepped back onto the throne made of gold and runes. Against the backdrop of the emperor of the universe, the huge throne looked even more magnificent and inviolable.

He sat upright, his eyes swept over the faces of the Primarchs below the stage, and continued:

"Today, the evil gods and demons hidden in the warp are becoming more and more rampant and restless. This just proves that our human empire is on the right path.

That is why they try so hard to destroy us and corrupt us.”

Sui Yang's voice was deep and penetrating, echoing in the hall, as if it was imprinted deep in the soul of every Primarch.

"You must remain vigilant. Once you detect any signs of Chaos invasion, you must respond immediately to protect the peace of the empire."

"Yes, father!"

All the Primarchs responded in unison, their voices firm and powerful, echoing in the magnificent throne room.

There was a flame of determination in their eyes. It was a pledge of loyalty to their father and the empire, and it was also the belief they would fight and struggle for.
