Warhammer: Lord of the Endless Monsters

Chapter 510 The Emperor and Macado, Rhodes' New Plan

It has been a full 10,000 years since my old friend passed away. Now, seeing my former friend, the Emperor, evokes a special feeling that is hard to describe.

More than 10,000 years ago, he did not want to come out and rule mankind, nor did he want to become the emperor of mankind.

Throughout human history, it only guided humanity in the early stages and did not aspire to be an eternal ruler. It preferred to play an ordinary role in the long river of history and quietly observe human history.

It was Makado who persuaded him to stand up and save humanity from extinction.

"Your Majesty! Is that you? I... I'm not dead, am I? Why am I still alive? You... how did you become like this?" Macado asked, looking at the emaciated, almost mummy-like emperor on the golden throne.

As a powerful immortal being, the Emperor should not be in such a weak state.

"My old friend, a full ten thousand years have passed. You have left this world, left the Empire, for a full ten thousand years. You were killed by the energy of the Golden Throne, and your soul was drained dry," the Emperor said.

"What did you do? Did you use some special technology, or even make a deal with those four bastards to resurrect me? I advised you not to do this, that you absolutely could not trust those four." Macado seemed to realize something and immediately questioned the Emperor loudly.

The Emperor's power is insufficient to resurrect the dead; only the four evil gods of the Warp can accomplish this.

At that time, I was completely dead.

Therefore, if I were to suddenly be resurrected now, it is very likely that the Emperor and the Four Chaos Gods made some kind of deal!
This is the most terrifying thing. He doesn't want the human lord he has his eye on to lower himself to make a deal with those evil beings in the warp. Although he did it once before, he deceived the four evil gods that time.

"Rest assured, my old friend, I have not made any deals with those evil beings in the warp. I have not compromised with them in any way. I am still the Emperor you remember, and I always have been," the Emperor said with a smile.

"Then why did you become like this? You are an immortal being. Even if you are reduced to an atom, you can rebuild your body and be resurrected." Makado showed a disbelieving expression.

No one knew the Emperor better than him. Even before he met the Emperor, the Emperor had the ability to compress an entire star into an energy source and then give it to Sanguis as a gift.

In the 5th century AD, the Emperor possessed the strength to fight Void Dragons, and even in fragmented form, a Void Dragon could easily destroy dozens of Necromancer crypt worlds.

It was because the Void Dragon was sealed on Mars that humanity was able to control mechanical power, enabling the Martian Mechanic Church and even the foundations of human science to develop.

"Ten thousand years have passed, and I sit on the golden throne, using powerful spiritual energy to seal off the entire Net Dao world!"

But the Golden Throne has been tormenting me, tormenting my soul, tormenting my body. It has turned me into something neither human nor ghost, causing me to develop countless negative and dark personalities. I almost lost myself in it.

"I'm much better now. Before, I was a dried-up corpse, unable to even speak," the Emperor said.

My condition is much better now! Before you woke up, before that brat Rhodes came, before Magnus returned, and before the Goddess of Life used her life energy on me, the Emperor was practically a dead man.

Or it may be in a state that is neither alive nor dead!
"Then how did you revive me? Did you use some special method?" Macado asked.

“A lot has happened, and I need to tell you slowly, but you should know that humanity has rekindled its hope, and a savior even more powerful than me has emerged.” The Emperor said, looking at Rhodes.

Makado's gaze also turned to the man in front of him, who was two meters tall and didn't seem particularly outstanding.

Could he be a human immortal reborn after his own death?! Makado could sense that Rhodes' life force was very strong, even comparable to that of the Emperor at the time.

At this moment, Rhodes did not reveal his super life form, nor did he reveal his cosmic beast; the aura he exuded alone was enough to shock Makadovi.
"Prime Minister Arcado, I am the new genetic prototype of the Empire, but I was not created by the Emperor. I was fused with a mysterious creature, a cosmic beast. This cosmic beast can fuse with ordinary humans, turning them into super life forms, which can have lifespans of tens of thousands of years or even eternity."

Physically, this will evolve to a level stronger than the Primarch, and will also be able to create its own gene seed. Rhodes greeted Macado very warmly.

Rhodes held a rather favorable impression of this former hero of the empire.

“Hello! New Primarch. It seems I’ve missed a lot over the years. Could you tell me how I was resurrected?” Macado asked.

His old friend, the Emperor, would not be lost without reason. As a seasoned veteran who had lived for thousands of years, Makado keenly guessed that his resurrection was likely related to the young man in front of him!

“In the ancient Eldar legends, there is a god of death who will end Slaanesh. I obtained the god of death’s power through some means and created a very special life form. This special life form has a chance to resurrect, to choose a dead life to resurrect, regardless of any conditions or rules,” Rhodes said.

“I see! That’s unbelievable!” Macado exclaimed.

A perfect chance to resurrect, my old friend. You shouldn't waste it on an old man like me. I'm just a slightly stronger psionicist at best.

The one you should truly resurrect is the slain Pherosmanus!
"Don't worry, Felus, Manus will return soon. I now have the power to repair his soul." As if he had guessed his old friend's doubts, the Emperor immediately said with a smile.

“Ten thousand years have passed, Prime Minister Macardo. You must have many things you want to say to the Emperor, and many things you need to understand. I won’t disturb you any longer.” After saying this, Rhodes smiled slightly at the Emperor and Macardo, and then left Terra Palace.

Guilliman left with Rhodes. The Emperor and Macardo's relationship was even closer than that of the Primarch, so he had no intention of disturbing the meeting between these two old friends.

"When do you plan to return to your territory?" Guilliman asked.

“Leave tomorrow, the sooner the better. I don’t think I’ll be idle for long; those chaotic bastards aren’t planning to let me stay idle,” Rhodes said.

Having accumulated over 100 million system coins this time, Rhode plans to strengthen his power, starting by upgrading the advanced enhancement system shop.

Then strengthen all your generals. If there are still some left, do another 100-pull.

Rhodes had a premonition that his territory would become the epicenter of this war, and that the place where Nurgle was attacking might not be Macragge in the original timeline.

“I understand! I will keep a close eye on the forces of Chaos. The second phase of the Unyielding Expedition will require your leadership, so you probably won’t be able to rest for long,” Guilliman said.

"I understand!" Rhodes waved his hand, smiled at Guilliman, and left.

In the second phase of the Unyielding Expedition, Rhodes must lead the human fleet to continue exploring planets, expanding the human world's territory, and saving more planets.

This is a great opportunity to build prestige, even comparable to the Emperor's grand expedition, but Rhodes' homeland cannot be left undefended, so Rhodes plans to pull off a crazy scheme this time.

The previous Babar alien has already gone to Space 40, and Rhodes plans to summon another Babar alien or a Zarab alien.

They would transform into their own and Elena's likenesses, then lead the Unyielding Expedition, while I could simply command them remotely.

After fighting for decades, can't I at least enjoy a warm bed and a wife and kids?

That evening, Rod told Elena about his thoughts.

"You mean, you want your two subordinates to impersonate us and lead the fleet, while we return to the Beast Planet?" Elena looked at Rhodes with a bewildered expression.

This seemed rather bizarre to him. "Rhodes, just how lazy is this guy?! The Empire desperately needs you right now."

“Don’t worry, we can still control it remotely, and the two of my subordinates who are transformed into you and me will definitely not attract anyone’s attention,” Rhodes said.

If there is any emergency requiring him to appear, Rhodes can simply teleport there with Elena. After all, with Tartarus around, distance is no longer a concern.

With an Oscar in hand, this is how carefree we can be!
"If you put it that way, it's not impossible. Should we tell the Emperor and Guilliman about this?"

"No, no, no, absolutely not! This is our honeymoon. It's just me, two other Spirit Clan girls, and a Spirit Clan goddess."

"Don't worry! There won't be any problems, and we can better defend against the Chaos attacks by staying in the shadows," Rhodes said.

In fact, Rhodes wanted to set a trap, hiding his true form and sending two of his subordinates to attract the attention of the Chaos forces.

"So you were planning to set a trap!"
