Chapter 552 This moment is just like that moment
-
“When a war ends, it’s just for the glory of someone high above and tens of thousands of light years away. Feeling relieved is elusive for an individual soul. If you want to continue to fight it, then you need a place to go back to at the end of the day, a home, a nest, an arm, one A shoulder, a hug, a light left in the night, a place to stand, or just a responsibility that is accidentally handed into your hands, no matter what it is, not failing is a success in itself."
————At the end of 999.M41, the mysterious broadcaster on the Enterprise carrying the Cadian people on the second continent to escape the Crimson Tide
————————< br>
A man who was once a brother, a nephew, a cousin, but now a mere vessel for his illusory soul conducted a battle with his brothers, uncles, and cousins that no one has ever fully recorded or anyone involved is willing to describe in detail. After the battle, the fate of mankind and the human empire once again reached a fork in the road ten thousand years later.
With the exception of a handful of high-ranking officers, the names and identities of those who participated in the battle were erased from various record carriers and given a new name to protect them in line with "some big shot" " request.
Such a complete concealment is ineffective even with the recovery and tracing methods of certain factions in the Inquisition. The Inquisition's envoy to Cadia himself also mysteriously disappeared in the last disaster. In view of the simultaneous disappearance The population was so large that even members of the Temporal Tribunal sent secretly could not tell what was going on.
Later historians are certain of only one thing about what happened under the plains of Elysian: the battle must have caused unprecedented damage to the Great Reaver himself, so that Even the opening of the Scarlet Road failed to allow him to immediately return to the carnival of plundering the Imperial Sanctuary and the Dark Side of the Empire. Therefore, the balance of power among the traitors was permanently changed, and the Pirate King in the Maelstrom was able to regain his life. , boarded the stage of rivalry.
Of course, some people think that this incident does prove that the Black Crusade and the Scarlet Road have strengthened the power of the traitors and the fallen, but some people think that this incident may not be a new opportunity.
But all these speculations, inferences or rumors happened later.

After sending the unconscious flag officer to the defensive position just built with fallen rubble and corpses at the other end of the tunnel, the High Castle The Lord immediately returned with his brave soldiers to the exit of the battlefield.
A Planetary Defense Force laser gun, jokingly called a "flashlight" by some, is not powerful enough to penetrate the Terminator's thick protection, and can only leave a trace on the surface of the ceramite coating. A faint mark, this was true, but none of the soldiers of the 8th Cadia Regiment retreated.
Under the command of Creed, the remaining members of the 8th Regiment maximized the density of their weapon volleys. The beam of the laser gun was finally focused into a thick spear of light, and its tip struck In that place, even the ancient ceramic steel soaked by the subspace energy began to blacken and smoke. Before the terrifying Chaos Guards rushed in front of them with howling and waving weapons, no one retreated, even if the weapons were swung. Above them, the shooting continued.
Finally, this behemoth fell down with an expression of disbelief.
"Cadians!" Creed shouted amidst the smoke and burning smell, "Tell me! What will happen to Cadia?!"
"Car Dia stands strong!"
"We are united! Don't let them get out of here!"
The walls, floor and ceiling of the ancient underground cave have been damaged by the fierce battle. Fighting beyond recognition.
If this were an ordinary geological structure or a human relic in the usual sense, it would have been unable to support it at this moment and would have suffered a large-scale collapse. However, the mysterious technology used by the aliens on the building kept it relatively intact.
Although not many people are aware of it here, the veil of reality is becoming thinner, time and space itself has begun to fragment, and the essence of the Supreme Sky is seeping into both sides from the gaps exposed under the erratic veil. In the warring space, the influence of invisible chaotic energy on real things has quietly increased.
In the middle of the cave, where only the bravest, strongest or craziest warriors who have been enhanced by extraordinary transformations dare to get even slightly closer, the anointed one of the Four Gods wields the weapons from his father and grandfather. A fierce battle with the "two" demigods is in full swing.
Wolves - Moon Wolf and Wild Wolf, although they do not know each other and could not have been comrades in arms, at this moment, they naturally formed another encirclement outside the battle circle, responsible for encircling them. Abaddon was isolated from his Terminator Guard, and the Moonwolves had many companions who frequently raised eyebrows among the Wolves.
Among them, one lithe swordsman wields his sword like flakes of mercury, and the Chaos Space Marines he attacks will have an incredible and then even more angry aura. , launching an increasingly frenzied attack on him.
"Hey." Lucius shook the dazzling silver hair on his head, used a sharp chop to save Sol Tarvitz from the suddenly deformed and lengthened claws of a Chaos Dreadnought, and said unceremoniously He kicked the opponent into the ranks of his comrades. "It's so dark out here! Watch the road, Tarvitz."
Then, now dressed in silver with gold and Phoenician purple (the Ironblood actually has a stock of this extinction dye) The swordsman found himself surrounded by more enemies. Every traitor who recognized him looked filled with overwhelming hatred and anger towards him.
"Hey, look! This is the fate of a great genius like me and a paladin." He smiled proudly. Compared with ordinary Astartes power armor, the armor was slimmer. Like a pretty butterfly, he shuttled among these huge enemies that would suffocate any mortal just by looking at them. "What a strong jealousy! What a sad sour taste! Alas, no matter how jealous you are, you can't defeat me who loves His Highness so much and is so pure and loyal!"
I don't know what Lucius said. What touched them? In short, the pirate punishment team members who were brought here by the silent ghosts from the Carosini Dynasty Enterprise discovered that Now, the anger of many enemies here is directed at "Healer" Lucius - since he quite enjoys the feeling of spinning and jumping non-stop among the enemy's shooting weapons and swords, claws, and ax fists, everyone ——Especially Sol Tavitz felt that he still couldn't steal his limelight, so it was a more suitable choice for him to find another opponent in this chaotic battlefield.
For Tavitz, the undoubted temporary commander of this group of people, what he is a little concerned about is actually another thing: those ghost warriors with eyes and even bodies blazing with flames and blackened power armor. Where are you now? Why did these mysterious ghost warriors sway like candles in the wind as soon as they stepped into this tunnel after they were brought here? After the giant armor, they disappeared collectively as if they had been hit by some kind of impact?
——So which Primarch came to give them the honor to fight the betrayers together with the Primarch?
He raised his power sword and blocked a chain ax dripping with blood. At the same time, he turned sideways to reveal an opening. Then Mortug of the Death Guard used his double-barreled heat. Rong gave the other party a good high-temperature sterilization.
"Who do you think that is?" Tavitz asked quietly on the communication channel as they approached. "Brother Mortug, your built-in auspicious array is more powerful than ours. Can you scan any characteristics of the man inside?"
"I don't know, brother." Mortug He answered, with a slight electronic sound in his voice, which was caused by the fact that it was not fully adjusted in order to catch up with the rush of the last batch of expeditions, "His equipment A seems simple but very reliable. However, the rest of my body and soul tell me that it must not be our father. "
It was Tavitz's next turn and he fell into a silence that lasted for tens of seconds, which to the Astartes was almost an eternity, but he finally spoke.
"Yes," he said, "although Lucius seems to...don't care about him. Yes, I admit, I feel timid about the face under that black helmet, brother." As they spoke, they cooperated with each other again , began to use the weapon to cut off an arm of another traitor who tried to attack the Ultramarines, Then came the traitor's horned and deformed head, with stinky black blood splattering several feet high. The Emperor's Children backed away from the slowly kneeling corpse. Farther away, the Space Wolves, who were clearly deformed or not, were blocking their way. The black legions were constantly teleporting in. Beasts and demons fought in a melee and became a mass of flesh and blood flying everywhere.
“I...feel a familiarity from 'him' that makes my soul tremble...but also distant and unfamiliar. I have never been so looking forward to and so scared. The truth."
"Then don't think about it yet," the Death Guard said in a calm and calm voice, "Let us finish this battle first."
———— ——————
When the relic weapon of Horus was wielded and used again, no one could know how complicated the hearts of the four Primarchs present were.
The one who rushed forward first and the fastest became the main opponent of the predator.
From another perspective of his two guardians, it was actually a compromise for Fulgrim Pallas to deal with Abaddon, so they just started to raid the formation silently. .
Of course, Robert Guilliman was not very clear about the background of these uninvited guests, but he also saw that Honso knew them, and the very suspicious one, whose martial arts and body shape were very similar to Fogg But the people of Rim said: I am not him.
If it were the Fulgrim that Guilliman knew for the last time or before, the proud Phoenix would never dress like this, nor would he deny himself like this.
After carefully checking the answer within a millionth of a millisecond, the Thirteenth Primarch temporarily accepted the answer, but more questions surfaced.
Like many people here who had doubts, he chose to press them all down first - just in time, let him see now that the result of this inference is 97.42% likely to be What kind of results can be achieved between Fulgrim, the Primarch of the Emperor's Son, and Ezekiel Abaddon, who has inherited Horus from appearance to name.
Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be any suspense about this. After all, Fulgrim’s otherworldly swordsmanship was taught to him personally nine thousand years ago. The Lord of the Ultramarines does not think that the Chief Company of the Sons of Horus Chang could survive thirty years under Fulgrim—even if he had thousands of years of combat experience.
But at the fiftieth round, not only did "Fulgrim" wearing black armor roar angrily and speed up the swing of his saber, just like a violent storm, but even Robert Guilliman Frowning: Ezekiel Abaddon is indeed fast In terms of combat skills and combat skills, he could not compete with "Fulgrim". His armor was broken and scarred. He was hit and pierced by sword blades more than once. He roared with blood, but his injuries seemed to be caused by someone. Plant something to continuously heal him, so that a fatal blow can never happen to him.
Finally, the man who seemed to be Fulgrim seemed to have reached his limit of patience.
The weird Dreadnought that had been paying attention to this duel made a sound of annoyance, "Oh, no!", and the golden Garuda dropped the stump in his claws and flew back, resting uneasily and guilty on the Dauntless shoulder. Move your feet back and forth.
“The game is over! The children of Horus!”
The man in black armor finally spoke through the loudspeaker grid for the first time, and his loud and beautiful voice echoed in the cave. , so that the Emperor's Children veterans present could no longer deceive themselves and frightened the scene - fortunately they had alert companions, so they did not suffer too many casualties at that moment.
They were stunned and looked at each other in shock. Only Lucius seemed not to be so affected. He was still dancing the dance of death among a group of enemies, and he just saluted excitedly.
Then something that shocked them happened: the black-armored giant threw away the Shabal saber, which was not very lethal, and drew out the gear-powered ax he had been carrying, and with a cry of joy Shout, this heavy ax comes from The spine of the ax was divided into two, and then the giant, who was almost certainly Fulgrim, danced two big axes, one black and one white, in a vigorous manner. His fighting spirit suddenly became high, and he headed towards the four gods like a black hurricane. The great plunderer, blessed and guarded by evil spirits, swept across the plains.
"Suffer death! Today is the end of you!"
"No one can stop me! Not even the son of the Corpse Emperor!"
They separated like two hurricanes , finally collided with a clang, and the echoes of mankind's first murder roared in anger and annoyance through the sword's millions of faces as they failed to defeat the reappearing ghosts of the past.
The living people who came too close knelt down, some bleeding from their orifices, and blue flames poured out of the eyes, mouths and ears of the psykers.
The sharp claw and the other power ax also made a heart-wrenching squeaking sound. They were so close, staring at each other through their helmets, the air was filled with the intense power between the two. Crackling and flickering in conflict.
The sky rumbled above the earth's rock formations, and the boiling waves of the high sky also called their names. At this moment, through these two people, other forces were competing.
The evil lightning of Draconion surrounds Abaddon, the red energy light illuminates his twisted and ferocious face in the Terminator, and the eight-pointed star symbol of the Chosen One of the Four Gods is on him His forehead shone, and everyone saw the Warmaster showing his bloody teeth and grinning. The weapon that had killed Sanguinius was raised high, and Sol Tarvitz let out a A sound similar to a terrifying howl.
The tip of the sharp claw cut off an axe, passed through the chest of the man in black armor, lifted him up, and held him in his hand, like a death cage that caught a flying bird.
The person who was lifted up was bleeding, but he still kicked the opponent's breastplate tenaciously and threw the ax at the Warmaster's unhelmeted face——
The Warmaster laughed evilly. , raised the weapon in the other hand high, and it was about to fall heavily——
