The giant corporations that started from Night City

Chapter 428: Confess guilt or embrace darkness? Attack!
Amon followed Magnus to the porthole and asked anxiously, "Lord, do we still have a chance? Now that you are back, I believe the Emperor will take back his order!"

With the Emperor's great mind, it should not be difficult to forgive them. After all, the Emperor had forgiven serious crimes committed by other Primarchs.

However, Magnus knew that there was no chance of success, so the Emperor sent four Primarchs to eradicate the influence of the Warp.

Today the warriors of the Thousand Sons Legion must die.

"It's all too late." Magnus let out a deep sigh, like a whisper echoing in the abyss.

Tzeentch has promised Magnus that as long as he is willing to submit to him, Tzeentch is willing to save Magnus's home planet and offspring.

In addition, Magnus will no longer be subject to any shackles and can read and know all the knowledge and truth in the warp.

Which outcome is better, getting everything you pursue all your life and preserving the lives of the legionaries, or being suspected by the Emperor and imprisoned, being despised by other Primarch brothers, and being regarded as a sinner by humans?

Magnus had to admit that if he made the choice according to his heart, he didn't want to never raise his head again.

By this time, the other Thousand Sons warriors had sensed Magnus' return.

There is a subtle and special psychic connection between the Primarch and his offspring, and the influence of the Warp amplifies this connection as they are near the Mandeville Point.

This also allowed them to clearly sense Magnus's presence.

"It's the Primarch! The Primarch is back!"

The warriors of the Thousand Sons Legion responded one after another. Magnus sensed the warriors' ecstasy, but he did not relax.

On the contrary, Magnus' inner pain became clearer!
Because he knew that even if he returned to Prospero, the Emperor's misunderstanding of him would not be eliminated and his warriors would still die.

"I'm sorry, I'm a sinner of the Thousand Sons Legion, and it's me who caused everything that happened today!"

As he said this, Magnus's teeth were chattering, and he felt his heart contracting rapidly and hurting him.

Not every Primarch has deep feelings for his offspring. Most of them have ordinary feelings towards their own warriors.

They just regard it as their own war resource and do not sincerely care for it, and Magnus happens to be an extremely rare lord among them.

The power of psionic energy itself is closely related to the emotions of living things.

People with strong psychic talents tend to have stronger emotions, and stronger emotions will in turn nourish the growth of psychic power.

It's just like that sentimental people are more suitable for art and jobs that require inspiration.

As a powerful psyker, Magnus was naturally also an emotionally rich Primarch who deeply loved his Thousand Sons Legion.

It would be more painful for him to witness the death of his own soldiers than to kill him.

It’s a pity that Magnus has no choice now.

His foolish behavior has completely ruined the future of the Thousand Sons Legion. If he could really start over, Magnus would rather never step into the warp again to grab that tempting knowledge.

"No, Primarch! We were incompetent and failed to protect Prospero. This is our fault!"

At this time, the Thousand Sons Legion soldiers still did not understand the deeper meaning of Magnus' words. They mistakenly thought that the Primarch was blaming himself for the misunderstanding caused by his disappearance.

"Everyone, listen carefully, these words are very important!"

Magnus took a deep breath, psychic energy flowing along the bonds of the Thousand Sons bloodline, and he transmitted his words into the minds of every Thousand Sons warrior.

The truth behind the healing of flesh and blood mutations, the evil god the Lord of Change in the warp, the Emperor's determination to eradicate the Thousand Sons Legion, and Prospero's irreversible depravity...

All the attacks originated from psychic power and Magnus' greed for knowledge.

Everyone has his own comeuppance, and now Magnus is willing to sacrifice himself in exchange for the lives of other Thousand Sons warriors.

"I have made up my mind to submit to the god of the Warp in order to protect Prospero and your safety."

Magnus did not call Tzeentch by his name, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.

"Now, you have two choices. If you are willing to follow me and betray the empire, stand in the teleportation array and the gods will take you to a safe place."

"For those who are unwilling to leave, use your psychic energy to remove the mutated flesh and blood from your body. With the protection of the gods, you will be completely healed, but I cannot guarantee whether you can get the Emperor's forgiveness."

Magnus said in great pain.

As the most knowledgeable of all the Primarchs of the Empire, he has always been conceited and arrogant, but the greatest evil often comes from arrogance and ignorance.

Now that retribution has come, Magnus knows he cannot escape it, but he is the Emperor's Primarch after all, and the death penalty will definitely not fall upon him.

But the Thousand Sons warriors under his command would die because of him, and Magnus was unwilling to let his offspring lose their lives because of his mistake.

That is why he would rather surrender to the evil god of the Warp than confess his guilt before the Emperor.

At this moment, Magnus was still looking at the space battlefield outside the porthole. As time passed, the pain in his heart did not ease, but became more and more obvious.

Flickering psychic energy emerged restlessly on Magnus' body, like fine lightning, but these electric currents were shrouded in a layer of ominous black fog, exuding an ominous aura.

This made Amon alert, and he asked again: "Lord, things may not have come to this point yet. Isn't the Emperor omnipotent?"

"Maybe he has other ways to salvage this."

Amon certainly didn't want his own Primarch to fall into depravity because of them.

As Magnus' mentor, Amon was always proud of having taught such an outstanding disciple like Magnus.

Even though he borrowed Magnus' gene seed to complete his body transformation and was considered Magnus' "offspring", the relationship between the two did not change.

Seeing his disciple in so much pain, Amon also wanted to do something for him.

"If the Emperor was truly omnipotent, I wouldn't have come to this point today."

Magnus has made up his mind. Since there is a power in the Warp that is more powerful than the Emperor, he will take the initiative to embrace it!
When communicating with Tzeentch in the Warp, Magnus could feel the powerful oppression from the other party. The boundless psychic power made him immersed in it and unable to extricate himself.

Hearing this, Amon raised his head with horror. He had already sensed the strange psychic energy coming from the depths of the warp.

The Thousand Sons warriors, knowing the truth, completely lost their desire to fight.

It turns out that they really have become puppets controlled by demons. The extermination order issued by the Emperor was not wrong. The ones who were truly wrong were them!

At this moment, the expressions of the Thousand Sons warriors changed from their initial anger to shock, grief and sorrow. They had become criminals who betrayed the Empire and violated the Emperor's orders!

Some Thousand Sons warriors could not accept such a tragic truth, and after cutting off the mutated flesh and blood on their bodies, they took the initiative to pull the trigger on their heads. After a bang, their souls returned to Terra.

The moment the truth was revealed, one eighth of the Thousand Sons warriors in the entire fleet chose to end their lives. They would rather commit suicide than become the devil's lackeys.

The Emperor is right, death is their best destination!

The remaining Thousand Sons warriors also made their choices one by one.

Some warriors cut off the mutated flesh and blood on their bodies and decided to stay in the Prospero galaxy and die in battle, while others took the initiative to stand on the rune array drawn by the devil, waiting for an unknown "rebirth".

But at this moment, the world's giant company, which has been silent for a long time, finally has new news.

Jack Wells had been observing from the sidelines for a long time, but as he had no right to act and the Primarch's troops did not ask for help, he could only watch it all silently.

However, the target they have been waiting for for a long time, Magnus, has appeared.

While waiting, the AI ​​drones and virus programs released by the giant company kept a close eye on everything inside the Thousand Sons Legion's flagship, the Radiant Light.

Jack Wells received the news as soon as Magnus appeared.

Then, Jack shared this information with the other four Primarchs. After getting permission to act, the Megacorp troops began to act.

The procedures of the whole process were reasonable and logical, and the global giant did not overstep its authority in the slightest.

For Jack Wells, this was a mission that had to be successful.

The Universal Corporation has spent countless amounts of money to send out an elite reinforced expeditionary corps. If it can't even catch the tiny Magnus, then what else can the Human Empire expect the Corporation to do?

Not to mention explaining to the emperor who was eagerly waiting for the mission, if the mission really failed, even Jack Wells would not have the face to see Archon Leon again.

[The star field space coordinate system has been calibrated, and short-distance jumps have begun. 3, 2, 1——! ]

In an instant, thousands of cruisers and battleships of the Cosmic Enterprise appeared out of thin air in the camp of the Thousand Sons Legion. The appearance of the Cosmic Enterprise warships immediately calmed the surging waves of subspace psychic energy in the area.

The surrounding subspace dimensions seemed to be emptied, and in an instant it became an absolute no-man's land.

Roar--! ! !
The Warp demons that possessed the Thousand Sons warriors also lost the Warp, and their vitality quickly declined like vampires exposed to the sunlight.

They roared and wailed in pain until they were completely sublimated into a wisp of green smoke.

The Thousand Sons warriors suddenly realized that they had lost their psychic powers, and looked at each other in confusion, obviously having no idea of ​​their current situation.

"How is this going……"

The Thousand Sons warriors looked out of the porthole, and when they saw the warships belonging to the Universal Corporation gathering around them, they realized that the incident that had just happened was all caused by the Universal Corporation.

"It's the Universal Corporation! They're going to go to war with us."

The teleportation array that Magnus promised did not appear, which left many Thousand Sons warriors who were eager to survive no time to think further.

They quickly worked out a new battle plan, preparing to engage in close combat with the warships of the Universal Corporation. Only in this way could they avoid being attacked from a distance by the warships of other Primarchs.

Soon, the Thousand Sons Legion and the Universal Corporation were engaged in a chaotic battle.

Sure enough, the Imperial fleet in the distance stopped its artillery bombardment. Without the harassment of Imperial warships, perhaps they could find an opportunity to escape from the Prospero galaxy.

As for the mother planet Prospero...

At this moment, they can't even take care of their own lives, so how can they have the energy to care about what will happen after their death?

"how so!"

Magnus was shocked. Like other Thousand Sons warriors, he realized that his psychic power had been "stripped away" for no reason.

After the warp was isolated by the giant enterprise's device, Magnus's psychic power was completely useless, and the arcs surrounding him disappeared completely.

"It's the Cosmos Corporation! Their anti-warp force field has locked us in."

Amon couldn't understand why the Universal Corporation would suddenly join the war at this time. It had clearly not taken any action just now, so why would it move now?

Now the giant corporation has come out personally, ready to "clear the table in one blow", and the soldiers of the Thousand Sons Legion have completely lost hope.

"It's over, everything is over. Next we should go to Terra and die to apologize to the Emperor!" Amon seemed to have been drained of all his energy and couldn't even stand steadily.

"No! The Lord of Change will not sit idly by. Since it has agreed to my deal, it will definitely find a way to save us."

By this time, Magnus was fully convinced that Tzeentch's psychic powers could rival the Emperor's.

Amon stared at Magnus in disbelief. Lord of Change? Is this the name of the god of the Warp... His disciple has really fallen into darkness.

In a trance, Amon seemed to see Magnus transformed into a monster with a red body and sharp and vicious eyes. This scene frightened him so much that he took several steps back.

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from the communication channel: "Lord, you are no longer able to clean up this mess."

"It's not too late to turn back in time."

The person who spoke was Azek Ahriman.

After being imprisoned in Prospero's dungeon by Amon, he easily found an opportunity to escape and has now left the bombarded area.

"You should have confessed such an important matter to us earlier instead of being stubborn and stubborn!"

In fact, Azek had sensed something was wrong when Magnus first came into contact with Tzeentch, but his memory was secretly deleted by Magnus.

It was not until now that Azek deduced his lost memory through a series of events and developments.

It goes without saying that the reason why Magnus deleted Azek's memory was that he didn't want others to know about his transaction with the subspace entity.

Now that the truth has been revealed, all the Thousand Sons Legion soldiers have become thorns in the Emperor's side.

What made Azek Ahriman even more disappointed was that the incompetent Magnus would actually ignore the future of other humans for the sake of his warriors.

Such a Primarch is not worthy of his loyalty!
If he could choose again, Azek would rather be an ordinary guard soldier beside the Emperor than work for a fool like Magnus.
