Warhammer: Beginning with Planetary Governors

Chapter 757 Savior: Don't be afraid, I'll get the Grey Knights some even purer new stuff!

The Lord of Mankind has disappeared!
Cardo Diego stared at the magnificent throne, his eyes filled with unprecedented fear.

"Could it be that the human ruler has stopped fulfilling his duties, completely abdicated on the throne, and fled the palace?"

So, the Savior, like Macado the Seal Bearer, had no choice but to ascend the throne and use his own body and life to suppress the darkness from the Warp?

The thought popped into Cardo Diego's mind, and his heart felt as if it were being gripped by an invisible hand.

This is not just about dealing with the Emperor's dark avatar, but about confronting his dark side itself!

However, if this were to happen, the Emperor, the Lord of Mankind, would have already been promoted to the Dark Lord.

However, his psychic senses found no trace of the Dark Lord in the relevant areas of the warp.

Humans were not corrupted on a large scale and became a new subspace entity.

Then Cardo Diego considered another possibility:
"Or perhaps this savior, blinded by lust and corrupted by chaos, usurped the power of the throne through some means with the help of the warp gods."

If that's the case, then where has the Lord of Humanity gone?

Either way, it means the Empire and humanity are facing their most dangerous moment, and what should the Grey Knights do?!

hum~
The Golden Throne is in turmoil.

In the vision of this Grey Knight High Master, the magnificent machine was covered with a vast amount of warp energy.

Golden and black electric arcs intertwined and devoured each other.

The savior and emperor, clad in gleaming golden armor, sat on his throne like an emperor, looking down at the crowd below the steps.

At that moment, the savior was like the ruler of mankind.

"Ah, pain, torment, endless burden..."

Ron sat on the golden throne, groaning, his eyes radiating brilliant, burning golden arcs of electricity.

Every word he uttered resonated with the oppressive power of psychic energy, causing the Grey Knights to feel immense pressure.

In a daze, the high-ranking Grey Knights seemed to see a thick darkness behind the Savior, and behind that, a burning demonic figure.

The crimson, burning figure of the demon god had sharp horns pointing to the sky. Its terrifying body seemed to blot out the sun, covering a large area of ​​subspace, and faint, endless roars could be heard.

So terrifying.

Even the throne room was affected by the demon god, with flames constantly spreading and lava flowing across the ground in some places.

That is probably the dark manifestation of some kind of power of the savior!

This situation has put even more pressure on the Grey Knights. Now, it seems that humanity must simultaneously face two dark forces from within?!

Cardo Diego felt it most deeply; the powerful psionic pressure even made his armor creak.

He even felt that the prophecy had gone wrong, and that the savior and emperor before him might actually be the legendary Dark King!
"Grey Knights, you've finally arrived." Ron, having somewhat recovered his composure, looked at Cardo Diego and the other high-ranking Grey Knights.

He was somewhat surprised, but his tone returned to normal: "Hey, what time is it? Why are you all still kneeling? Get up quickly."

In reality, high-ranking beings like Cardo Diego did not wish to kneel before the savior or the emperor.

However, upon entering the throne room, they immediately bowed to the Emperor to repent for the Grey Knights' subsequent blasphemous acts.

However, when they realized that the one on the throne was the savior, they were stunned and overwhelmed, and it was too late to get up.

Now that the savior on the throne, the Emperor, has spoken, the Grey Knights are filled with even greater despair.

They had expected it to be just an illusion created by some kind of subspace, but it turned out not to be.

The savior was indeed on the throne, without a doubt, while the emperor's withered bones were nowhere to be seen.

They felt like the sky had fallen.

The Grey Knights arrived at the throne room under pressure to carry out the final decree, only to find that the Emperor was gone.
What to do? Could this be the true ending of the prophecy? The Grey Knights are carrying out the Final Decree on the Savior, banishing him back to the Warp?!

In an instant, the Grey Knights gripped their Heavenly Punishment weapons, a variety of thoughts swirling in their minds.

They all turned their gaze toward Cardo Diego, the Supreme Mentor of the Grey Knights, who was at the very front.

We await the decision of that being.

If the Supreme Master decides to fight, they will immediately unleash their magic and begin fighting the Savior!
Some of the great mentors have even secretly communicated with Cowen, asking for the true name of the savior and emperor of the empire.

However, Cowen didn't know the savior's real name either, and he was a little uneasy.

Things had gone beyond everyone's expectations; even the Imperial Guards were unaware of the true situation here.

The Grand Master of the Seventh Brotherhood pondered what would happen if the Supreme Grand Master actually gave the order for the Grey Knights to fight the Savior.

What should I do?!

Cardo Diego gripped the legendary Titan's Sword, struggled against the psionic pressure, and stood up to face the savior on the throne.

He took a deep breath, refrained from making any rash moves, and instead voiced his doubts:

“Savior, our Lord of Mankind, it should be him on the throne, not you.”

Even if the Grey Knights ultimately have to face the dark forces of the savior, they still need to know where the Emperor, the Lord of Mankind, has gone.

"Hmm, wait a moment, let me think about what's going on."

Ron rubbed his temples, trying to clear his muddled thoughts.

Having spent some time on the throne and having a deep connection with the warp, even my human thoughts, memories, speech, and behavior were significantly affected.

He finally understood why the emperor was so quiet and often fell into a deep sleep.

The opponent's aim is not only to suppress the dark side of the Holy Sun, but also to mitigate the influence of the Golden Throne Mechanism.

This lousy toilet is no good; anyone who sits on it will feel sleepy!
Not long ago, the throne room experienced a violent tremor, and a third of the golden throne collapsed.

He didn't have time to worry about the return of the Grey Knights' Supreme Mentor, Cardo Diego, and rushed over here.

The situation was extremely urgent at that time; humanity was on the verge of extinction and almost reached its darkest hour.

As the throne was further damaged, a portion of the Emperor's dark personality materialized into a warp entity and entered the galaxy, attempting to pull the Emperor's remaining skeleton off the throne.

Once that happens, it means that the Emperor, the Lord of Mankind, will be completely freed from the shackles of the throne and descend as the Dark Lord!

Simply put, human civilization was on the verge of collapse, and we're ready to feast at any moment.

Fortunately, the Emperor still retained a portion of his consciousness, which cooperated with him to suppress the dark entity clone that was trying to escape.

It was a high-dimensional war involving both reality and subspace, a battle between the Hope Sun, the Holy Sun, and the Dark Side of the Emperor.

Even the higher dimensions of subspace have been erased.

Extremely intense.

In the end, he and the Emperor defeated the Emperor's dark entity clone and banished it back to the Chaos Subspace.

They were once again suppressed by the divine light of the sun.

"But why did I end up sitting on the Golden Throne?" Ron suddenly thought of this question, and felt a little numb.

He remembered that after the warp war, the Hope Sun had used up too much power, leaving it very weak.

I'm a little confused.

Moreover, the Golden Throne suffered irreversible damage due to the fierce battle and almost exploded again.

That would cause the Holy Sun to completely spiral out of control, at which point no amount of expert advice from the Empire could help.

But judging from the current situation, the Golden Throne doesn't seem to have exploded.

With his own flesh and blood, he suppressed the uncontrollable forces on the throne, just like the old emperor.

"Could it be..." Ron suddenly realized something, his body stiffening, and his brows furrowing:

"That old geezer won't trick me and make me take his place and continue guarding the throne, will he?!"

Although the emperor has appeared somewhat benevolent in recent years, he has, most of the time, been a tyrant.

He treats almost everyone as a tool to achieve his goals.

Moreover, he was willing to sacrifice anything for victory, including himself.

From this perspective, it's possible that an emperor might use himself as a tool to maintain his throne.

Then he will be able to extract more spiritual energy to carry out a certain plan.

However, Ron nipped the thought in the bud as soon as it crossed his mind.

He believed that the Emperor wouldn't do anything outrageous without consulting him first.

After all, she, the savior, was not some delicate original body, and she had set up countermeasures for the relevant situations. Even the Emperor could not forcibly defy her will.

Moreover, he had already proven that humanity had a greater chance of victory under the leadership of the savior.

Ron quickly sorted out his thoughts, which had been affected by the throne and the warp, and regained his previous memories. He remembered why he was on the throne.

That was my own suggestion. After discussing it with the Emperor, I took the initiative to shoulder the pressure for him, giving him some room to maneuver for the time being.

“This is only temporary,” Ron answered the question from the High Grand Mentor of the Grey Knights.
"The Emperor will soon return to the Golden Throne."

You Grey Knights need not worry, nor should you take any rash actions, lest you cause unforeseen consequences.

He sensed the Grey Knight's wariness and spoke up to reassure him.

Ron thought for a moment, then pointed to an area: "The Emperor is still handling affairs in the throne room, he should be in... that area."

He used his psychic powers to move a piece of mechanical debris near the throne, revealing what lay behind it.

It was a mechanical area where terrifying arcs of psionic energy flickered everywhere, and the Emperor's skeleton was inside, with many mechanical cables still attached to his body.

More importantly, the withered, towering skeleton, covered in the psionic phantom of the Emperor, was active.

He was squatting on the ground, his buttocks sticking out, his skeleton covered in oil, using some special tools to huff and puff as he repaired the damaged throne.

It looks like they're working very hard.

That's right, the emperor has temporarily stepped down from the throne and is now working as a repairman to restore the throne that has bound him for thousands of years.

May this magnificent throne continue to function.

That was also one of Ron's backup plans.

Due to the immense psionic pressure of the throne, the mechanical priests were simply unable to withstand the pressure and carry out their work.

Currently, the only ones in the empire capable of withstanding the pressure of the throne are himself, the savior, and the emperor.

Unfortunately, my own educational level is relatively low; I am considered semi-illiterate within the mechanical cult.

In this situation, the emperor would have to go through the trouble of getting off the toilet and fixing it himself.

After all, it was he who oversaw the repair and commissioning of this golden throne.

"Your Majesty!"

Cardo Diego and the other Grey Knights were stunned by what they saw.

Their heads were buzzing.

If the emperor truly stepped down from the throne, should this be considered as him running away, or as continuing to fulfill his responsibilities?

What to do about the Final Edict?!
"By the way, didn't the Emperor leave a set of instructions for the Grey Knights before?"

Ron recalled the urgent report the Imperial Guard had given him not long ago, when he was still fighting the Emperor's dark side and hadn't had time to reply.

He looked at the Grey Knight, his tone leaving no room for argument: "That order still has a place. From now on, the decision-making power for the Final Decree will be handed over to me."

I will be responsible for determining whether to carry out the Final Edict and for commanding the Grey Knights to complete this important mission.

The Final Decree is still useful; it can legally restrain the Emperor when necessary to prevent his mind from running wild under the influence of the Warp.

Upon hearing this, Cardo Diego instinctively retorted, "Your Excellency, this mission is..."

"Hey, what are you worried about? It's a good thing that you've handed over the Edict of the End to me."

Ron gently waved his hand, interrupting the other person:

"This is also to enable the Gray Knights to better perform their missions. You will receive more new equipment and special weaponry."

He stated without any hesitation:

"When necessary, I will lead you with even greater force and power to firmly hold down and smash the Emperor, and then drag him back to his throne."

This will stabilize the situation.

Cardo Diego swallowed hard and glanced at the emperor who was repairing the throne.

It's a bit inappropriate for them to discuss this in front of the Lord of Humanity, isn't it?

In fact, the Emperor was very pleased to see this happen, as he had always worried that no one in the Empire could control his out-of-control dark side.

Hearing the savior's words, he slowly turned around, gripping his tools, and gave Cardo Diego a dignified yet approving look.

The emperor agreed to this.

Cardo Diego bowed to the Emperor, sensing his condition, and found that the Lord of Man was conscious.

The situation has changed too much, and the Emperor has given new instructions, which the Grey Knights can only obey.

“Your Excellency, Savior, the Grey Knight accepts your advice,” Cardo Diego said solemnly.

It's sizzling!

The throne exploded again, unleashing new arcs of dark red psionic energy.

Ron struggled to suppress the tremors of the throne, feeling a deep bondage from the warp.

The binding force of this magnificent throne grew stronger.

His brow furrowed, and he turned to urge the emperor anxiously:

"Old man, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and get to work. If you don't get the throne sorted out soon, I'm afraid I'll have to sit next to you."

You wouldn't want me to share a throne with you, would you?

If I and the emperor are bound to the throne, wouldn't humanity be doomed?
Moreover, the Lord of Darkness and the Lord of Hell are crammed into the same place, so even if they turn evil, they still have to fight each other.

Cardo Diego and other high-ranking Grey Knights felt somewhat uncomfortable watching this scene.

The savior's actions seem to be directing an emperor; who is truly the master of humanity?

But the emperor didn't show much emotion. He cursed the brat, then forcibly gathered spiritual energy and continued to manipulate his skeleton to repair the throne.

This method of control was also very difficult for the Lord of Humanity, who would occasionally wipe away sweat in the air under the influence of human instinct.

However, before Cardo Diego could react, the savior's voice came again.

Ron looked down at the gray knights below the steps and gave the order:
"You all need to get moving immediately and establish a psionic barrier to mitigate the impact from the warp!"

Cardo Diego and the others dared not slack off and moved about in a dejected manner. Since even the Lord of Mankind had not objected, how could they dare to utter a sound?
Moreover, it was for the Golden Throne, and for humanity.

hum~
The Purifiers chanted epic prayers as they burned the remaining bones of Makado.

A massive amount of silvery-white psionic energy gathered from somewhere in the warp.

Cardo Diego and other high-ranking Grey Knights seized the opportunity to use spells to guide and construct a special barrier covering the throne.

This relieved the pressure on Ron, the savior, and the Emperor, allowing the restoration of the throne to proceed more smoothly.

Before long, Makado's remains burned to ashes, and the silvery-white psionic barrier gradually dissipated.

Fortunately, the emperor seized the opportunity and repaired the damaged area, thus stabilizing the throne.

Shila-

Ron tore at his body with all his might, unleashing crimson psionic energy, then abruptly pulled the cable and fell from the throne.

At this moment, the emperor's remains returned to the throne, suppressing the surging warp energy once again.

This ruler of mankind will continue to fulfill his mission and endure endless suffering.

He fell into a deep sleep the moment he returned to the throne.

His previous activities had depleted too much of his energy, making it impossible for him to maintain consciousness in the real universe.

"It's a pity that Makado's remains have been completely consumed, so you may no longer be able to cast similar large-scale spells."

After Ron stepped down from the throne, he felt relaxed and refreshed, as if he had been reborn.

He looked at the slowly dissipating bone dust on the ground with a hint of regret.

The Grey Knights were quite capable; their combined large-scale spell array was able to effectively resist impacts from the warp.

Ron thought of something.

Click!

Suddenly, to the horror of Cardo Diego and the others, he turned and broke off several ribs from the Emperor's towering skeleton.

It is so blasphemous.

"The Emperor!" The gray knights were stunned, their scalps tingling.

In an instant, Cardo Diego gripped the Titan's Sword tightly, his heart pounding with tension.

He couldn't understand why the savior would commit such a rebellious act!
