Warhammer: Lord of the Endless Monsters

Chapter 577 The Tree of Life, A Special Planet with Distorted Time
Lemanus disappeared after entering the Eye of Terror, but how was the Eye of Terror created? It was created because of its own birth.

Therefore, she has a special connection with the Eye of Fear, as she personally witnessed the Wolf King enter the Eye of Fear.

It's really hard to find anything without wearing iron shoes, and it takes no effort at all!

So it turns out his own wife knew where Lemanus was.
"So, do you know where this wolf is right now?" Rod quickly asked.

“I know! In a way, he did find the Tree of Life,” Aisha said.

"Is the Tree of Life really that miraculous, able to restore an emperor and allow him to rise from the golden throne again?" Rhodes asked.

"The Tree of Life possesses extremely powerful life energy and is a rare treasure. In the ancient legends of Fenris, it was also called the World Tree. If the Tree of Life were to fully mature!"
"The fruit that grows can indeed restore the Emperor's body, but the Emperor still cannot leave the Golden Throne; the Dark Lord is an obstacle that cannot be bypassed," Aisha said.

There was no way the Emperor could suppress the Dark King once he rose from that place! With the Dark King's emergence, not only the human race, but even the Chaos Gods would be doomed.

“Enough of that. Can you tell me his exact location? I’ll bring this wolf back now and let him return to the Empire. That way, all the Loyalist Primarchs except for Headless Fey will be back,” Rhodes said.

Dealing with the Dark Lord is indeed difficult; I'll deal with that after I summon a legendary-level monster! At least one of the level of the King of Ultra!
"He is located on a special planet in the source of fear, where time flows differently than outside. I can give you the coordinates, but you'd better bring him out as soon as possible!"

Time flows incredibly fast there. A day there is equivalent to several decades in the outside world. Lemanus spent less than a hundred years there, but ten thousand years had passed in the outside world,” Aisha said.

"Since you know his location, why didn't you capture him and corrupt him into your demon prince when you were still the Chaos God?" Rhodes asked curiously.

"That's a good question. Entering that space isn't easy; you might even unknowingly get lost in the timeline of that planet."

Moreover, that's the territory of the Spirit Race. I couldn't go there before because the Spirit Race gods had set up a special barrier there.

"Although the Eye of Terror is in the warp, the four Chaos Gods are essentially without physical bodies; we have no concept of physical form at all," Aisha said.

Besides, it was just a genetic prototype. The Chaos Gods only captured one of them out of curiosity!
You don't really think this thing is that valuable, do you?
If they were truly so valuable, then the few traitorous Primarchs wouldn't have been born into Chaosless; they would all have been divided up by the Four Evil Gods!

“I understand. I will bring him out as quickly as possible,” Rhodes nodded and said.

The missing Primarchs all shared the same fate: they were essentially in a place where the flow of time was unknown. Ten thousand years had passed in the outside world, yet the Primarchs had no idea what had happened.
Otherwise, by the time it would be 41 to 42 years ago, the human empire would be teetering on the brink of collapse, with Chaos, Greenskins, and Terran swarming everywhere.

Once these prototypes receive the message, they will definitely return immediately. The only exceptions are if they do not receive the message or are imprisoned or captured.

“Go! Don’t linger too long. One minute you waste there is equivalent to several days passing in the outside world,” Aisha said.

That planet was very strange, arguably the most bizarre place in the Eye of Terror. It was located in the space between the warp and the real universe, but it did not belong to the Webpath.

After exchanging a few more words with Aisha, Rhodes hung up the call, then summoned Guilliman and explained the whole story to him.

"You found it so quickly? I thought it would take you several years!" Guilliman looked at Rhodes with surprise.

They had only been separated for less than a day, and Rhodes had already found out accurate information about Lemanus. If they had delayed any longer, Rhodes would have brought him back directly.

“As you know, I have a good relationship with the Eldar. The Eldar Goddess of Love and Beauty has very detailed information. I have now basically confirmed Lemanus’s location. All I need to do is bring him back,” Rhodes said.

“No problem, you can go ahead without worry!” Guilliman nodded and said.

“Every minute I delay counts as several days in the outside world, so I need you to write me a letter and then record a video.”

"Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have to use force to get him out," Rhodes said.

So he came to Guilliman to ask him to find a way to get him some proof. Otherwise, Remanus doesn't recognize him, and if it takes too long, the Emperor on Holy Terra might have already completed the separation process, and he just happens to be away from it, then everything will be terrible!

So Rhodes set the timeframe at 10 minutes, which is equivalent to a month or two. This timeframe can't explain much, so Guilliman needs to provide proof, such as video evidence.

Otherwise, given the Space Wolf Gene Primarch's volatile temper, it wouldn't easily come back with him.

"Lemanus is indeed rather irritable, but he is still sensible. However, we can't delay too long this time. Why don't you just knock him out and bring him back?"

"The outcome will be the same anyway. I'll try to persuade him again after he returns to Holy Terra." Guilliman offered a faster and more efficient method.

Even a minute's delay is dangerous. Recording a video takes several minutes to watch, which would allow more than twenty days to pass for the outside world. During these twenty days, something unexpected could happen to the Emperor at any time.

Therefore, the safest and best way is for Rhodes to go over and knock Lemanus unconscious, then forcibly bring him back, and then leave the persuasion work to himself.

"Hahaha! Your method is simple and brutal enough. Well then, let's do it your way. I'll go over there and take down Lemanrus instantly." Rod laughed and patted Guilliman on the shoulder.

Guilliman is right. Why bother with videos or messages? That would just waste time. It would be best to just knock the person out and bring them out.

“Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. My father and Holy Terra are in danger at any moment, so I must minimize the risks.”

Get going, Rhodes! Try to be back within three days. You need to finish the battle within one minute, and leave within two minutes.

"With your current strength, Lemanrus shouldn't be able to defeat you," Guilliman said. Rhodes nodded and waved goodbye to Guilliman, then summoned Tartarus and had him open a spatial portal linked to the Eye of Fear. The two of them entered the special area located within the Eye of Fear.

Following Elsa's guidance, they spent several hours arriving at a verdant planet where a giant tree grew.

The giant tree emitted a strange force field that isolated the surrounding subspace energy, so the planet was completely uncorroded by the chaotic subspace forces.

"Great master, this planet is like a black hole. If you look closely, everyone on it seems to be frozen in time. Their time flows, but they themselves don't feel any difference. However, to us, they appear to be motionless, or rather, they only move after very long intervals," Tartarus said to Rhodes after observing the situation on this peculiar planet.

As the ultimate life form from the Ultra Universe, he had a keen eye; this planet was very strange, like the starting point of a black hole.

“So I need to get Lemanus out of here as soon as possible. You stay in the air above this planet and don’t go down to the ground. Be vigilant at all times. As soon as I give the order, you will send us away from this planet immediately,” Rhodes said.

Tartarus serves as an insurance policy for the outside world, preventing itself from being tricked by the traps of this time-traveling planet.

After arranging all the contingency plans, Rhodes entered this special planet.

Rhodes felt a different force field acting on him, distorting the time and space around him and causing time to become abnormal.

If observed from above the planet at this moment, it would appear that Rhodes's flight speed was frozen, slowly decreasing!

Like a hydrogen balloon, he slowly drifted toward the planet's surface, but in Rhodes' perception, he was descending at supersonic speed.

This feeling is somewhat similar to interstellar travel. These special time planets are the most dangerous regions in the universe. Here, you may only have spent a day, but several years may have passed in the outside world.

At this moment, the Space Wolves members located below the Tree of Life also discovered Rhodes descending from the sky. All the Space Wolves members were extremely wary of this suddenly arriving stranger. They had been on this planet for decades and had never seen any other outsiders before.

The news of Rhodes's sudden appearance was immediately reported to Lemanus. Upon receiving the news, the Wolf King did not delay and immediately led his wolf guards outside.

At that moment, Rhodes also descended from the sky and landed steadily on this special planet.

As soon as Rhode landed on the planet's surface, he sensed something different, because the planet of the Tree of Life was constantly radiating lush green vitality, with a surging life energy surrounding the entire planet.

On this planet, normal lifespans are extended indefinitely. For example, Space Marines can only live for a little over 1000 years, but here they can live for thousands of years without any problem.

Moreover, the flow of time here is different, so these members of the Space Wolves are still as young as they were ten thousand years ago when they first followed Lemanus.

Wolf King Lemanus looked at the guy who had fallen from the sky with some curiosity. The power armor he was wearing had obvious imperial markings!
That's why he didn't order his personal guard to fire, and his height appeared to be that of a normal Space Marine.

Could it be that the Empire has sent people to find me? But the Tree of Life is not yet ripe, and I need to stay here for hundreds of years before I can bring the Fruit of Life back to save my father.

"Who are you! Did the Empire send you to find us?" Lemanrus asked.

"I don't have time to explain too much. I am the new Primarch of the Empire, and my name is Rhodes."

"Now you must leave this planet with me. The Empire needs you, and the Emperor needs you too," Rhodes said.

“No, I need to stay here for several hundred more years for the Fruit of Life to ripen, and as far as I know, there shouldn’t be any new Primarch projects. Are you something that Guilliman created?” Lemanrus asked.

Upon hearing this, Rhodes shook his head, gathered a golden-red energy around his body, and then unleashed a massive, powerful, bull-breaking punch at the Wolf King.

Guilliman is right. If we try to persuade him, it might take days or even months to win over the wolf king, let alone a few minutes!
The quickest way is to knock the wolf unconscious and then forcibly take it away.

Faced with the sudden attack, Wolf King Lemanus and his wolf guards were startled. Several wolf tails were blown away by the shockwave before they could react and then fell unconscious.

The wolf king Lemanus drew his power sword and barely managed to block it, but only for a moment. He was then blasted into the sky, spun 360 degrees in mid-air, and landed headfirst on the ground.

Lemanus felt pain all over his body and reached out to grab his frozen chainsaw sword, but the pain made him unable to move at all.

Where did this monster come from? I, the original genetic entity, was actually defeated in a single move!

This time, Rhodes's unleashed power of the Bull-Breaking Fist was perfectly controlled, just enough to subdue the Gold and Silver Primarchs and their subordinates without harming them.

Without further ado, Rhodes immediately grabbed Lang Lang Lemanus, then used his powerful telekinesis to envelop several members of the Space Wolves, before taking them away and flying into the sky.

During the struggle, Wolf King Lemanus tried to fight back, but he was instantly knocked unconscious by Rhodes' fist.

From landing to defeating and taking away the Wolf King, Lemanus, it took a total of 3 minutes, and those 3 minutes felt incredibly long.

Rhode breathed a sigh of relief only after returning to the planet's atmosphere and escaping that terrifying time-distorted zone.

"Tartarus, how long have I been gone?" Rhodes asked Tartarus.
