Warhammer: Lord of the Endless Monsters

Chapter 421 The Emperor scolds Luther, and the Lion King awakens

Well done, Rhodes! This is a qualified ruler. The Dark Angels are not allowed to have any secrets in the future.

After deciding the fate of the Dark Angels, the Emperor himself met with all the thousands of Dark Angels who were captured alive.

In order to maintain his majesty, the Emperor now has his incarnation stand in front of the Golden Throne when he meets with other mortal empire personnel.

He used his huge body to block his own rotten body, so that others could only see the tall and mighty incarnation of the emperor wearing golden armor and holding a huge sword.

The appearance of the Yellow Avatar is exactly the same as the historical records show that the Emperor looked when he was still walking on Earth. This is even more intimidating than the decaying corpse on the Golden Throne, as if the Emperor is still ruling the Empire.

Doing so can, firstly, preserve the emperor's dignity, and secondly, make the people of the empire more cohesive. After leaving, these mortals will spread the news that the emperor is still alive, and they have seen with their own eyes the mighty giant standing on the golden throne.

Unless he borrows from some particularly important people, the emperor will appear as the incarnation of the emperor.

At this time, the dark angels had been repaired and their severed limbs had been restored. After seeing the golden-armored giant on the golden throne and feeling the pressure from him, all the dark angels knelt down.

"Praise you, great God-Emperor, praise you." Azrael said with a trembling voice. The Emperor was really still alive, and the Emperor was standing before him!

Look at the majestic giant in golden armor, and feel the gold emanating from his body.

Azrael and all the dark angels lowered their heads in shame. They actually used their own weapons to attack the Emperor's Guards!
Even if they were sentenced to launch a penitential expedition or even directly sentenced to death at this moment, they would have no complaints.

"Please forgive our Emperor, please forgive your Angel of Death."

Of all the Dark Angels, the most excited was Luther, an old man who lived ten thousand years ago and had seen the Emperor with his own eyes.

When the Emperor first arrived on the planet Taliban, he took away the grown-up Lion King Leon. He had seen what the Emperor looked like, and this golden-armored giant was exactly the same as the Emperor back then.

Although he did not reveal his human face, this was indeed the Emperor.

It's just magnified 10 times. The emperor back then was a giant more than 5 meters tall, but this emperor's height reached 60 meters.

To be honest, as an old man who lived ten thousand years ago, the Emperor had not yet completely ruled the human empire at that time. Even at the beginning, many people in the human world only thought that the Emperor was a warlord who ruled Terra.

It was not until later, when the local people performed more miracles and demonstrated unparalleled power, that they were regarded as gods by humans.

He does not respect the Emperor like humans do ten thousand years later, and his attitude is even a bit similar to Rhodes'.

Although we admire and respect each other very much, we will never go to the point of blindly worshipping and treating the other person as a god.

"Emperor! Are you able to stand up from the Golden Throne now? You have become more powerful than you were 1 years ago." Luther said.

Ten thousand years ago, when the Horus Heresy had just ended, he was planning to launch a rebellion against the Lion King. At that time, the Emperor was said to have sat on the Golden Throne. As for what happened later, he knew nothing.

Could it be that the Emperor has recovered? Perhaps the Emperor is the most powerful psychic? And he is also immortal. His immortality is explained at the molecular level. Even if he is blown to pieces, the Emperor's molecular structure can be reborn.

"I have recovered a little, but not enough to wake me up from the Golden Throne. The one standing in front of you is my incarnation, and my real self is behind. Now I am going to sentence you to punishment, are you willing to accept it?" The Emperor did not want to say too much to Luther.

Originally, according to him, no matter whether you did it intentionally or unintentionally, or were bewitched by someone, treason is treason, and you even caused your eldest son to fall into a deep sleep for a full ten thousand years. This is a capital crime!
If it were according to the Emperor's own will, Luther would have been cut into pieces, but there is talk of whitewashing it.

Since it has been decided to give the right of disposal to his eldest son, the emperor will not go back on his word and the right of disposal lies in the hands of the Lion King.

"I am willing to confess to you, the great Emperor. I was indeed bewitched by Chaos in the past, but I did not fall into it. I stopped at the last moment." Luther tried to make a final defense for himself, but the Emperor's next words pierced his thoughts with coldness.

"Just because you were bewitched by Chaos, you could start a rebellion, bury the entire planet with it, and make my eldest son, your genetic father, sleep for a full ten thousand years?
He is not only my son, but also your brother, and even your adopted son. If you feel guilty, admit your mistake.

Or you can yell at me, "False Emperor!" Even if I want to defect to Chaos and betray the Human Empire, I will still look up to you.

But you actually want to defend yourself, what qualifications do you have to defend yourself? You don't have the qualifications!" The Emperor's voice was like a huge bell, and the powerful psychic power made Luther kneel on the ground, unable to even get up.

Luther felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on him. His internal organs were in great pain, and even his soul felt like it was being torn apart. This was the wrath of the Emperor.

Yes! The emperor was right. What qualifications did he have? He had no right to say these words!

Could it be that if I had stopped at the brink of disaster back then, I could have saved everything?
If you kill someone, can you be exempted from all criminal laws by just saying "I admit my mistake"?
The big mistake has already been made, so standing up and bravely facing the mistake you have made is what a true warrior should do, and what a true Caliban knight should do.

At this moment, Luther felt incomparable shame, shame towards the Emperor, shame towards his identity as a Taliban Knight, and shame towards his former brother, genetic father, adopted son, and Primarch Lion King.

"You are right, Emperor, I was wrong. I am willing to accept any punishment from you, even death, I will accept it calmly." Luther said while kneeling on the ground, gritting his teeth.

"Hmph! I am not the one who judges you. Just kneel there quietly! Don't get up without my order." said the emperor.

After loudly scolding Luther, the Emperor turned his gaze to the dark angels.

"You have also committed a grave mistake? To a certain extent, you have even betrayed the Empire. You shot your compatriots and comrades without hesitation.

According to my wishes, all of you should be sentenced to death. Only death can atone for your sins. You should launch an expedition of atonement.

But now the human empire is facing a precarious situation, with countless evil enemies eyeing it covetously. The situation is even worse than it was ten thousand years ago.

I need you, so I am not going to send you on a meaningless crusade of atonement or a suicide attack. You will serve in the Deathwatch, and you will be stripped of your Dark Angels' legionary icon and sent to Blackshield. It will be 100 years before you can wear the mothership's symbol again.

During this period, you must fight desperately. I will always watch you. When facing the enemy, you must forget all the desperate fighting. "The emperor said.

"Thank you for your mercy, praise your kindness, great emperor." All the dark angels present lowered their heads and slammed them heavily on the ground of the palace, making a bang.

From today on, they will completely tear off the emblem of the Dark Angels, erase everything that is connected to the parent group and remain in the Death Watch, fighting desperately against the aliens, the Chaos enemies, and all enemies of mankind.

Even a large number of Dark Angels have decided that within the next 100 years, they will do everything they can to die in Death Watch in order to atone for their sins to the Emperor!
The trial was broadcast via video to all the legions of the Empire the next day.

After receiving the news, the Blood Angels, Ultramarines, Imperial Fists, Space Wolves, White Scars, Iron Hands, Raven Guard, Salamanders and other legions all condemned the Dark Angels at the first opportunity.

The Death Watch responded positively and will arrange these dark angels who come to serve in the Black Hole Force to let them participate in the most dangerous and brutal battles in the human empire.

After the trial, Rhodes, the Emperor and the Heavy Primarch began the work of resurrecting the Lion King Lion!
In order to revive the Lion King, his soul had to be repaired. According to the Emperor's plan, this should have started more than 100 years later.

Only then will he be able to resurrect the Lion King.

And it can only be done with the help of the power of the Eldar Death God, but now Magnus has taken over from him, plus Rod has obtained the new Death Killer, who possesses the power of the Death God.

There are not so many troubles now. Now they, the human side, do not need to rely on the power of the Eldar gods to resurrect the dormant Primarch Lion King in advance.

"Let's start! Let Elsa restore the strength of the Lion King's body first." Rhodes nodded to the goddess of life standing beside him.

The goddess of life, Elsa, smiled slightly, and began to inject a stream of divine life force into the Lion King's body, turning this Primarch, who had already turned into Old Dumbledore and even had a head full of white hair, into a man.

His body regained vitality, his white hair turned back to gold, and he became strong again.

With the presence of the Goddess of Life, there is no need to worry about physical injuries. If it weren't for the Golden Throne and the Dark Lord, the Emperor could even rise from the Golden Throne immediately.

"Okay, I have repaired his body, you can start repairing its soul." Elsa said.

"Thank you very much, great Goddess of Life. Humanity will never forget your kindness." said the Emperor.

She was sincerely grateful to the Goddess of Life, because during these ten thousand years, the Goddess of Life had not only passed on the method of eliminating the plague to the elves.

It was also selflessly passed on to humans and some other races. As long as there is the plague of Nurgle, the Goddess of Life will find a way.

"Then let's start too! Father, let's use our psychic powers to repair Leon's soul and cooperate with the power of order of the cosmic beast." Guilliman said.

"Well! Let's start, Rhodes and Elena, the two of you have enough spiritual power, join in." said the emperor.

Vulkan, who had successfully fused with the cosmic mythical beast Golzaan, Guilliman, who had fused with the cosmic basalt, and Magnus, who had fused with the Zikas star, as well as Rhodes and Elena, also used their spiritual energy to assist the Emperor's divine power and repair Lion's soul.

The power of the cosmic mythical beast order, combined with the power of the Primarch's lesser god and the Emperor's golden divine power, began to slowly repair the soul of the Lion King Leon.

Under the nourishment of powerful psychic power and the power of order of cosmic fantasy beasts, the lion king's soul began to recover and even became stronger!
For a whole day and night, under the nourishment of the divine power of the Emperor, several Primarchs and cosmic beasts, the soul of the Lion King Leon successfully recovered to its best state.

"Rod, summon your death killer now, and let him use the power of the god of death to restore Leon!" said the emperor.

Now there was only one last step left, to revive his son in the spiritual world. Rhodes nodded and summoned his own death killer, injected the gray-white death power into the lion king's body, and began to awaken his soul.

In the spiritual world of Lion King Leon, he was traveling through an unfamiliar forest, where his soul encountered many things. (I won’t write about this part, as it is described in the novel, which is a spiritual journey of the Lion King, where his soul was redeemed and then awakened with the help of the Emperor, but here it is changed to the power of death.)
The eyelids of the lion king Leon moved, and he slowly opened his eyes. He sat up in a daze, rubbed his swollen head, and then looked around.

There are three strangers, one man and two women, as well as his own father! And a brother who is both familiar and unfamiliar.

Why do they look familiar? Because they have the same face as their brother, but their body shapes are totally different.

When did this guy Vulkan turn into a 2-meter-tall black man?

And Guilliman too, he also shrunk!

Suddenly, the eyes of the Lion King Leon narrowed, and then he became extremely angry, just like a lion that had awakened, he pounced on Magnus and knocked him to the ground.

Then he swung his iron fist and hit the opponent hard in the face.

"I'm going to kill you, Magnus!"

Hearing this, Magnus gave a helpless smile, opened his arms, and released the protective power of the cosmic beast.

He let the lion king's heavy fist hit his face, beating him into a bloody mess.

Come on, my brother, vent your anger as much as you can, as long as it makes you happy.

"Enough! Leon, Magnus went undercover in Chaos under my orders, he is not a traitor!" The Emperor's voice reached the Lion King's ears.
