Warhammer: Lord of the Endless Monsters

Chapter 553 Lucius and Fugan, A calculated scheme

“Great Father of Genetics, I think I can be the squad leader for this raid, and I will help you seize this special cargo,” Lucius said.

"Lucius, I thought you'd have some sophisticated ideas, but have you lost your mind? How is this plan any different from that Chaos Wizard's? It's just that I'm putting you in charge of this raid?"

Fogrem looked at his genetic offspring with the look of someone looking at an idiot; he disliked his son Lucius from the bottom of his heart.

I disliked them from the moment they joined my legion.

The other demon princes, chaos champions, chaos lords, and high-ranking demons all wore mocking expressions. Lucius's plan was essentially meaningless.

Lucius is no longer a Chosen One of Chaos; all the Chosen Ones have disappeared since Slaanesh’s power began to fall.

Only Forgrim can now appoint his chosen ones, but that will have to wait until he has fully merged with Slaanesh's divine nature.

Right now, Lucius is just a slightly stronger Chaos Champion, nothing more!

"Father! My plan is different!"
This time, the real bait should be you. Only if you appear, appear on the front lines of the battlefield, can you be the bait.

Only then can you attract everyone's attention, whether it's the incarnation of the Emperor, the Eldar Death God, or the upcoming Guilliman, they will all come to you.

"And I will lead a small team to steal the goods for you! This plan is the perfect choice," Lucius said.

"Utterly foolish! How could Lucius, the father of genes, risk his life? Moreover, the great father of genes is about to ascend to become a true god!"

"Such things are naturally to be done by us subordinates," said a Chaos Space Marine champion.

He used to be afraid to offend Lucius because he was a champion and Lucius was the Chosen One, an immortal being. But now things are different!

The evil god who favored Lucius the most has disappeared.

“But if the Father of Genetics isn’t here, even if we mobilize our entire army, we won’t be able to seize the goods, and Father, you will never be able to walk in the real universe again,” Lucius said.

That's the crux of the problem. He knew that Foggery didn't want to participate in this operation because anyone with a bit of insight and intelligence could see that it was a trap.

But the bait offered by the Empire was something that Vogrim simply couldn't refuse; it was far too important for him.

It was so important that he had to risk his life. Even though Forgrim repeatedly expressed his desire for his men to take it back, Forgrim himself knew that the mission was virtually impossible if he didn't take action.

“Lucius, I’m starting to suspect you’re acting on someone else’s orders to lie to me,” Forgrim said.

"Great father of genes, sometimes you have to take a risk to get what you want, right?"
Moreover, the Chaos Godhead has now chosen you, and you will become the most powerful being in the entire galaxy, and even the entire universe. Even if the desiccated corpse sitting on the golden throne has some schemes, what use will it be?
"Why should I pledge allegiance to that mummified corpse?" Lucius asked.

Lucius did not directly answer Forgrim's question, stating that he would never rise and fall like the corpse on that golden throne, and that he was merely being loyal to his master!

He has only ever had one master, the goddess Elsa, and he doesn't care about the mummified corpse on the golden throne.

Therefore, when addressing the Emperor, he used the most disrespectful term, completely allaying Forgrim's concerns.

Hearing this, Fugrim smiled. He was about to become a Chaos God, so what was there to be afraid of?
Although he has not yet fully become a Chaos God, the power of Chaos God is already inseparable from him, and he will soon be able to integrate this power.

“Lucius, your plan is good, but I don’t think you’re suitable for the position of squad leader. I have a more suitable candidate to replace you,” Forgrim said.

Although Lucius's proposed plan was not feasible, he was not willing to entrust something so important to him to Lucius; he needed to choose someone he could trust more.

And this person is Luo Jia, who has become his own demon prince. Now Luo Jia's hatred for the emperor is even stronger than before, because he has discovered that the emperor would rather find a substitute to replace him than bring him back.

How heartbreaking this is!
“Your command is the father of all great genes,” Lucius said with a smile.

It's not important whether you go yourself or someone else goes; the important thing is that you go!

Forgrim eventually agreed to Lucius's plan, but he did not fully trust the former Slaanesh chosen one.

He summoned his most elite warriors—the demon prince Luo Jia, several Chaos Lords, and a commando team composed of noise warriors and veteran imperial princes. "Luo Jia," Fugorim said, "this mission is extremely important. If I succeed, we will gain even greater power in the future. I can even promise you that I will help you become a lesser god."

“Fugen! You know I don’t care much about power. I just want a god I can follow. If you’re willing to be my god, that would be wonderful,” Luo Jia said.

His birth mission was to serve a god and establish a sect for that god. He so desperately wanted his father, the emperor, to become his god, to be worshipped by him, and to lead all mankind in worship.

But what did his own father do? He destroyed the perfect city, stripped him of his faith, and then claimed he wasn't a god. That's the funniest joke in the entire universe.

Then, something even more heartbreaking happened: his father would rather support a clone to preach in his place than trust him!

What a tragedy! At this moment, Luo Jia only wants to do one thing: kill the emperor, kill the one sitting on the golden throne who destroyed his empire.

Destroy everything he has completely!
“My brother, I am about to become a god. I will not treat you like he did. I will be incredibly generous to you. I will become the object of your faith. I need you to preach for me and establish a new cult of pleasure for me,” Forgrim said.

Human beings have a powerful faith and a vast number of followers. So after destroying the empire, he will select a new group of humans to reproduce, and this group will have faith in him.

"Don't worry! My brother, my master, I will accomplish these things for you. Your becoming my god is the greatest reward for me," Luo Jia said.

No matter what, he was determined to seize this mysterious cargo—an otherworldly avatar—so that his brother could obtain a physical body capable of walking in the mortal realm. At that time, his brother would be invincible.

Unless his father rises from the Golden Throne and achieves Ascension, he has absolutely no chance of defeating Forgrim. Once Ascension is achieved, the Emperor will be confined to the Warp.

"Luojia, you lead the main assault team and make sure you recapture the goods. I will lead all the troops to buy you time," Fogrem said.

Luo Jia bowed slightly, his eyes burning with hatred for the emperor: "For your glory, my brother, my new master."

“Now! Go choose your squad! Apart from the squad you choose, the rest of you will immediately begin the attack on Vigilant Star and join Abaddon in besieging Vigilant Heart,” Forgrim said.

For now, we must continue to put pressure on Dihuang and the Empire. The real battle will begin after Guilliman arrives.

Lucius stood to the side, a slight smile playing on his lips, as if he were watching a good show that was about to unfold.

After quietly leaving the room, he entered a meditative state and contacted the Slaanesh assassin.

"How's it going, Lucius? Did you successfully complete your mission?" the Slaanesh assassin asked.

“My lord! Please tell our great master that I have completed the task she entrusted to me. Now, Fulgrim will participate in this war. The specific plan is as follows,” Lucius said.

He recounted the entire conversation between Fugrim and Luojia.

“Very good, very good. As a reward, Lucius, you will receive something called a monster capsule. Once you open this monster capsule, you can release the cosmic monsters inside to fight for you,” the Slaanesh assassin said.

After decades of research, Rhodes' scientists have now successfully replicated the perfect version of the monster capsule.

These monster capsules contained some monsters that Rhodes had ordered to be created, as well as some that he had redeemed from the system—monsters that weren't particularly important.

“I am very grateful for the gift bestowed upon me by my great new master. I, Lucius, will certainly do my best to serve him,” Lucius said.

"After this mission is over, the master will personally summon you, and of course, the mistress as well. You will receive super-beast enhancement and become a powerful giant warrior," the Slaanesh assassin said.

To make a horse run, you must first feed it well. Rhodes knew this well, so as long as someone was willing to join him...

Even if you were once a Chaos Space Marine, I'll still take you in. Anyway, you're not the only Chaos Space Marine I have under my command.

Xiu Lun and Ahriman are representatives of this.

Time passed slowly, and a month and a half had gone by in the blink of an eye!
In the subspace, Guilliman's fleet has also arrived near the vigilant planet.
