Warhammer: Lord of the Endless Monsters

Chapter 492 Rogdorn Returns and Beats Guilliman
Guilliman looked at Rhodes in shock, almost unable to believe his ears.

Rogdorn was captured by the space necromancer overlord, the Endless One, and then this kid saved him!

This is way too much information!
However, Guilliman quickly adjusted his mindset, looked at Rhodes with a serious expression, and asked.

“Rhodes, how is Rogdorn doing now? Is he alright? Has he been subjected to any strange experiments?” Guilliman asked.

The space necromancers possess highly advanced science and technology, and can even forcibly enter the human brain using nanobots, thereby controlling the life form.

Rogdorn has been captured for nearly 1 years; who knows what this space necromancer might have done to him.

"Don't worry about that, he's in excellent health now! As you know, I have a medical pod that can perfectly treat his injuries. I've even restored his severed arm," Rhodes said.

That's right! The Fist of the Empire treasured the arm that Rogdo lost and kept it in the Mountain Formation.

Now I have found your dear father and even repaired his severed hand!

“This is indeed good news! Bring him over directly. Every Primarch returning to the Empire is a major event, of great significance to the Empire,” Guilliman said.

Rhodes nodded upon hearing this, and gave Tartarus a wink. Tartarus immediately understood his master's meaning, opened a portal, and returned to Rhodes' mothership.

This time, Tartarus did not choose to bring back Rogdorn alone, but instead opened a huge portal and brought back Rhodes's space mothership.

Rhodes, the master of Holy Terra, has already arrived. It's not good for the Pedan mothership to stay anywhere else!
Moreover, the two mistresses have already been arranged to recuperate on the Beast Planet. There are no secrets on that spaceship now. Perhaps the only secret that can be called a secret is the Luo Jia clone that Rhodes hid!

However, Tartarus perfectly concealed this clone, ensuring that no one would discover his existence, not even the human emperor.

Soon, a massive planetary mothership returned to orbit around Holy Terra and docked at the nearest spaceport.

Following Rhode's orders, Rhode's genetic offspring returned to the training base for rest and training.

Rogdo was taken back to the palace of Holy Terra by a cargo ship.

Ten thousand years later, Rogdorath once again set foot on his once-familiar homeland, the mother planet of the Imperial Fist.

Looking at the magnificent golden palace before him, Rogdorn felt a sense of both familiarity and strangeness.

Ten thousand years ago, I participated in the siege of Horus here. For the sake of holiness, Terra confronted Guilliman after the war because I opposed the Astartes that he had built.

What makes you think you're so special? You didn't even show your face during the Terra defense battle!
But in the end, you want to set all the rules to restrain all the imperial legions, and we who fight to the death to protect the emperor will also have to accept your punishment.

Guilliman's war chapter theory was rejected by Rogdorn, who was the first to oppose it.

But at that time, Chagatai Khan, Leon the Lion King (the eldest of the Primarchs), and even Vulcan, the Lord of the Dragons, stood by Guilliman's side.

Dorn refused to break up his legions and had a heated argument with the Ultramarines. After much deliberation, Dorn, as the Lord Commander of Terra's Royal Guard, finally relented.

Although it's hard to admit, with the outbreak of the Horus Rebellion, the era of the Great Crusades had indeed come to an end, and the Astartes Legion had completely withdrawn from the stage of history.

The world ten thousand years later told him that Guilliman's choice was wrong, and that the so-called Scripture of Astartes and the so-called Chapters were nothing but garbage.

Otherwise, why would you, Guilliman, abolish this toilet paper-like thing? Why would you rebuild the legions?

Filled with rage, Rogdorn pushed open the gates of Terra Palace, only to be met with a smiling Guilliman.

Dorn raised his fist, as big as a sandbag, and slammed it hard into the other man's face.

Caught off guard, Guilliman was sent flying, rolling three times on the spot before finally getting up.

Then, looking at his brother with a speechless expression, he thought, "I came to pick you up out of kindness, and this is how you greet me."

Rhodes stood aside, somewhat gloating; he was really looking forward to this scene.

Rogdorn has now sided with the Golden Beast with his help, although the Golden Beast is not as powerful as Guilliman's Cosmic Tortoise.

But now Rogdorn has upgraded to the level of a super-life form and awakened his warp god nature.

The gap between the two sides is not as insurmountable as a chasm!
“Guilliman, you idiot! Look at the reforms you’ve implemented, look at the rules you’ve set, look at the Empire today! Time has proven you wrong. You should have listened to me,” Rogdorn said.

Upon hearing this, Robert Guilliman stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and sighed helplessly.

“My brother, you still can’t let go of what happened. Actually, after that great rebellion, I knew the dangers of warbands, but I had to do it at the time.”

Moreover, I originally only intended to implement this so-called battle group theory for a few hundred years, at most 1000 years.

I will reinstate the legion system, since the empire needs to recuperate, and large-scale legions are not conducive to recuperation.

"That's why I carried out that reform, but before I could overturn it all, I was wounded by Forgrim and slept for a full 1 years," Guilliman said.

Who could understand his pain? Back then, sitting in that position, he had to consider the overall situation. Who could have imagined that he would be wounded by that guy Fugen and then lie on the planet Macragge for a full ten thousand years!

“You idiot, you fool! But I’m back, and I will correct your mistakes. I will once again lead my legions and wipe out all enemies for our father and for humanity,” Rogdorn said.

Just as Lion King Leon couldn't let go of his position as Imperial Warmaster, Rogdoryn was also very dissatisfied with his position as Regent of the Empire.

Why should this position belong to Guilliman? Isn't he suitable? Do you, Robert Guilliman, possess superb political acumen and outstanding military talent? You didn't even participate in that defense battle, while I did. I am the true choice to protect Terra.

As for the position of Imperial Regent, well, it's all over now, and he doesn't want to say anything more.

“If you’re still angry, I’ll stand here and let you punch me a few more times, until you’re happy. How about it, my brother?” Guilliman looked at Rogdorn and smiled as he spoke.

"Hmph, if punching you a few more times can make up for the Empire's losses over the past ten thousand years, then I'd be more than happy to do so," Dorn said.

But this was of no use, and there was something else going on when he came back this time: Rhodes told him a lot of bad things.

"Guilliman, was Magnus really sent on a mission by our father to infiltrate Chaos?" Dorn asked.

This is the most suspicious case. Magnus did indeed betray the emperor and even attacked the Holy Terra Emperor.

When he woke up, the Primarch who had once betrayed the Empire had returned to its side and become the Imperial Chancellor. He was even to sit on the Golden Throne in place of the Emperor and guide the Starlight.

"That's the truth, Dorn. Father saw further than we did, and Magnus took on everything."

After returning to the Empire, he brought with him the true names of many demons, enabling the Empire to successfully banish them, and he also invented a special set of spells.

"He can enslave those warp demons with the Grey Knights. His ten thousand years of lurking have brought immense benefits to the Imperium, and his genetic offspring have been fighting for the Imperium ever since," Guilliman said.

Only he, Rhodes, and Horus know the truth about Magnus. The Emperor has issued a gag order, and all the other Primarchs will only know one thing: that Magnus went undercover.

“Hmph! I want to see this guy,” Dorn said.

Having known Jimmy Man for so many years, he knew exactly what the bastard was thinking, even with the slightest movement of his toes. There was definitely something fishy going on in this matter.

Guilliman can keep his mouth shut, and Rhodes can keep his mouth shut, but Magnus, who is directly involved, do you dare to look me in the eye?

“Magnus is very busy right now. He’s on the Golden Throne, and every few months he has to take turns with his father to help stabilize the Golden Throne and reduce his father’s pressure. Now his father has regained some human form and can speak to us,” Guilliman said.

“Then I will go and pay my respects in person!” After saying this, Rogdorn pushed Guilliman aside and walked into the depths of the palace of Holy Terra.

After being led through numerous palaces by the guards, Rogdorn finally came before the Emperor.

That man is completely different from the one he was ten thousand years ago. When he sat on the golden throne ten thousand years ago, although he was somewhat weak, he was still a normal human being.

But now his elderly father has a full head of dry hair and is extremely thin, so thin that he can be described as skin and bones.

Dorn was unaware that before Rhodes appeared, the Emperor's condition was even worse, to the point of being a dried-up corpse. At this time, the Emperor was in arguably the best state he had been in in ten thousand years.

Beside the Emperor, Magnus sat with powerful psychic energy surging from his body, stabilizing the Golden Throne, suppressing the power of the King's Way, and maintaining the burning of the Star Torch.

Rod and Guilliman also entered the room.

“Father!” Dorn knelt before the Emperor and spoke.

"Dorn! My son, I am delighted by your return. Welcome home," said the Emperor.

"I'm sorry, Father, I failed. I was captured by an alien for ten thousand years and failed to protect you, which has led to your current state," Rogdorn said, kneeling on the ground with deep remorse.

If it weren't for his carelessness, if he hadn't been captured by that hateful alien and imprisoned for ten thousand years, he would never have let his father end up in such a miserable state.

"I'm much better now. If you saw what I looked like a few years ago, you'd probably feel even worse," the Emperor said.

At that time, he was a dried-up corpse with countless tiny personalities splitting off. It was with Rhodes' help that he unified all the negative personalities, leaving only the Dark Emperor. The Dark Emperor was also suppressed by Rhodes through some means.

“Father, I have something I’d like to say to Magnus.” After saying this, Rogdorn looked at Magnus, who was sitting next to the Emperor.

“Magnus is currently helping me stabilize the Golden Throne, so he probably doesn’t have time to catch up with you right now. Wait another month or two until he finishes his work, and then we’ll switch places, and then you can catch up,” the Emperor said.

Magnus sat on the golden throne, which perfectly helped him share a lot of the pain. He recovered very well during this time. If this continued, it would probably not take more than a few hundred years for him to recover from the golden throne and officially regain his appearance as a human emperor.

However, to leave the Golden Throne, a reasonable way to deal with the Dark Lord must be found, or he must be powerful enough to prevent the Dark Lord from ever waking up again.

"Magnus, was he really sent by you to be an undercover agent?" Dorn asked.

Upon hearing this, Magnus, who was maintaining the operation of the Golden Throne, swayed slightly and then slowly opened his eyes, glancing somewhat guiltily at Dorn below.

The emperor placed his withered hand on Magnus's shoulder and nodded to him, signaling him to do his best to maintain the operation of the Golden Throne.

“Magnus went undercover in Chaos on my orders. He has worked very hard for the past ten thousand years, gathering a great deal of intelligence about Chaos for our human empire. It is because of this intelligence that we have been able to temporarily suppress Chaos,” the Emperor said.

“I understand, Magnus. I’ll speak with you privately after you step down from the Golden Throne,” Dorn said.

It seems the Emperor has forgiven Magnus, but the guilty look in Magnus's eyes still allowed Dorn to guess what had happened.

"Now that you have returned and merged with the cosmic beasts, lead your legions well and serve the empire!" the emperor said.

Dorn nodded, knelt before the Emperor once more, then turned and left the palace. He was going to check on his genetic offspring.
