Warhammer: Lord of the Endless Monsters

Chapter 579 The Feud Between Russ and Nus, The King of Huskies

This cruel truth stunned the roaring Lemanrus instantly. What had Guilliman just said? Ten thousand years! He had been gone for ten thousand years!
"Impossible! Guilliman, you can't fool me! I set out to find the fruit of the Tree of Life for my father, and it's been less than 200 years. I haven't been away from my offspring for long," Lemanrus retorted loudly.

He knew how long he had been away. After entering the Eye of Fear, he spent several decades finding the life-bearing planet and only stayed there for a little over 100 years!

The total time spent outside was less than 200 years, how could more than 10,000 years have passed? I didn't completely enter the soul sea of ​​the subspace, nor did I get lost there.

How could that be? Ten thousand years have passed! That bastard Guilliman is trying to mislead us!

"There's no need to lie to you, Ruth. There's a big problem with the planet you're on. Haven't you noticed it yourself?"

"Because of that Tree of Life, time on that planet flows extremely fast. One minute is equivalent to ten days in the outside world, and 100 years is equivalent to more than 1 years," Rhodes said.

"And who are you? You are not my brother, you were not created by Father," Lemanrus said, looking at the unfamiliar Rhodes before him.

This guy is very strong. Although he looks only the height of an ordinary Primal Space Marine, he was able to knock me to the ground and not be able to get up in one move. His strength is even stronger than Horus in his Death God-blessed state.

Back when that bastard Horus was thrown into Chaos, I had the chance to kill him completely with the Spear of the Nine Gods in my hand. But ever since then, Horus has insisted that he is no different from Horus, even though the other party was empowered by the four evil gods of Chaos.

Little did they know that Horus, who was empowered by the four Chaos Gods at that time, was already nearly as powerful as the Emperor!
"Rhodes is the Primarch of the new era. A lot has happened, and Rhodes is not the only Primarch of the new era. You must learn to adapt to this new era!"

Ten thousand years have passed since you left to search for the Tree of Life, and the empire has undergone tremendous changes.

"If you don't believe me, I can take you to see my father, and he can tell you all this himself," Guilliman said.

He knew he couldn't persuade the stubborn wolf, so the best way to convince him was to leave it to his father!

Although the Emperor has reached a critical moment in stripping away the Chaos Godhood, there is still no time to deal with this somewhat reckless son.

“Don’t lie to me, Guilliman. My father can’t speak anymore. He’s been sitting on that throne for centuries, slowly dying. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have set out to find the Tree of Life,” Lemanrus said.

Since his father ascended the Golden Throne, he had thought that with his father's power, it would only take some time for the Emperor to rise again and lead them in the Great Crusade to continue humanity's glory.

Unfortunately, 100 years have passed, and my father has shown no signs of life. Moreover, his life force is getting weaker and weaker, and his body has even begun to decompose.

When Lemanrus saw this scene, he could hardly believe his eyes. His father, the immortal emperor, was actually, actually, his body was decaying!

Moreover, this corruption is getting worse and worse, according to rune priests and some members of the Mechanic Order!

After his duel with Horus, the Emperor was already in a near-death state. The reason he was able to maintain this state was due to the magical force field on the Golden Throne.

This was unbearable for the proud wolf, so 200 years after the emperor's ascension, Lemanrus decided to lead his wolf tails and set off to find the legendary Tree of Life.

Hoping to revive his father using the legendary Tree of Life, he jokingly told his descendants before he left that he would return when the Wolves arrived.

One of the purposes of saying this was to prevent his genetic descendants from seeking him out, because the Hour of the Wolf is the time when the world ends, the time of the final battle.

He feared that something might happen to him while he was searching for the Tree of Life, and that he would never be able to return to his genetic descendants.

The result was relatively smooth. He successfully found the Tree of Life and landed on that planet, where he and his wolf guards stayed for more than 100 years!
Then this random guy appeared, knocked himself unconscious, took him back to Holy Terra, and told him that ten thousand years had passed!

“Father doesn’t need you to save him. Rod has done a lot over the years, and now Father’s health has begun to recover.”

"We all firmly believe that one day, Father will rise again from the Golden Throne and continue to fight for the human empire," Guilliman said.

There may have been some doubts before, but the Emperor's health is indeed slowly recovering, and since Magnus's return, the situation has been getting better and better. Now everyone is hopeful rather than desperate.

“What you said is true. Then take me to see my father. I promise you I won’t do anything reckless again,” Lemanrus said.

Perhaps that bastard Guilliman wasn't lying after all, because judging by the power Guilliman had displayed, and the power displayed by this guy named Rhodes in front of him, they seemed capable of easily defeating him. Otherwise, how could Guilliman have trapped him with just one move?
Could it be true that after ten thousand years, my strength has become the weakest among all the Primarchs?

“Hahaha! I’ll release you right now, Ruth. You’ll understand once you see your father. To be honest, you’re the weakest of all the Primarchs right now,” Guilliman said.

Indeed! After fusing with cosmic mythical beasts and awakening their divine souls, the Primarchs are now essentially gods walking in the real universe.

After the yellowish-brown light dissipated, Lemanrus snorted coldly, stood up, and followed behind Rhodes and Guilliman. They then arrived at the lower level of the underground palace and saw the Emperor peeling away the Chaos God Pavilion.

There were also several strangers assisting nearby; one emanated an aura of light, one an aura of life, and one aura of darkness.

The emperor on the golden throne was gaunt and looked extremely weak, but he was no longer a corpse. He even raised his hand and was materializing a rhombus-shaped crystal in the real universe.

Beside the emperor sat a man he found somewhat unbelievable—the traitor Magnus.

After the two met, they exchanged a cold snort. Magnus felt indebted to the Primarch, to his father, and to the Empire.

But he owes nothing to a certain stupid wolf and a certain husky. It was Rod who taught him the word "husky".

It means some kind of brainless, stupid canine creature; this adjective is practically tailor-made for Lemanrus.

"You damned traitor, what are you doing here? Who gave you permission to be in this sacred place?" Lemanrus immediately cursed. "I am here because of my father's orders. I am here to help my father ascend the Golden Throne, unlike you, you stupid wolf, who only knows how to mess things up."

You framed me, destroyed my homeland, and slaughtered countless innocent people. You had the chance to kill Horus and end this great rebellion, but you hesitated.

Then Horus killed him in retaliation. What a fine brotherhood! You didn't treat me like this back then. You didn't even give me a chance to explain; you just killed me." Magnus roared angrily.

He would never give this stupid wolf a kind look; the two of them were mortal enemies.

Upon hearing this, Leman Russ was somewhat speechless. Operation Prospero was one of the few stains on his life!

If I had been willing to listen to some explanations back then, and if I hadn't been so impulsive, I might have been able to avoid that tragedy, and Magnus wouldn't have sided with the rebellious Primarch.

Wait a minute! Now is not the time to dwell on this. Didn't Magnus rebel? Why would he come back to help his father ascend the Golden Throne?
"Foolish space husky, let me tell you the truth. My father sent me to Chaos as an undercover agent. He preserved the most powerful fragment of my soul!"

Then it was handed over to the successive Grey Knight Grand Mentors for safekeeping, until decades ago when I successfully completed my mission!

"Having returned to the real universe with a wealth of information about the Chaos Demons, and returned to the Empire to become the Primarch again, you're nothing but a joke." Magnus mercilessly mocked Lemanrus.

It's so satisfying to mock this guy. Magnus will mercilessly criticize and belittle this guy!

"What, what did you say?" Lemanrus could hardly believe his ears!

If what the other person said is true, and he is an undercover agent, then what am I? Am I the clown?

"Alright, Magnus, you two, say no more. It's all in the past. I don't blame you, and I don't blame Ruth either."

"Now you are all Primarchs loyal to the Empire, nothing more." The Emperor sighed beside him and said.

Seriously, can't you just let me properly detach my Chaos Godhood? Rhodes always finds himself some extra things to do. First he purified Klax, then he brought Chagatai back, and now he's brought Russ back.

Magnus always felt indebted to all the Primarchs, always looking guilty when he saw them, but he was different when he saw Lemanrus. The fact that the two of them didn't fight was already a great show of restraint.

Magnus's decision not to rush down from the Golden Throne and slap Lemanrus to the ground was already a sign of his consideration for being present.

“I understand, Father. I won’t stoop to the level of this stupid wolf,” Magnus said with a cold snort.

He was already very satisfied with just mocking the other person and seeing their embarrassed expression.

Once the Emperor has stripped away the Chaos Godhood, he can leave the Golden Throne and rest for a while. Then he will use his magic to teach that stupid wolf a lesson.

"Father! Are you alright? What are you doing?" Lemanrus sneered and asked the Emperor.

"As you can see, I am stripping away the divine essence of a Chaos God. Here's what happened. So now all of you Primarchs must return to guard the Empire. We absolutely cannot allow the forces of Chaos to hinder our plans." The Emperor told Lemanrus the whole story.

"I understand, Father. You have summoned me back at this crucial moment. I will not let you down. I will fight for the Empire once again."

"I will return to Fenris and lead my wolf pack into battle, so that the name of the Wild Wolves may once again resound throughout the galaxy, and we may defeat all the enemies of the Empire," Lemanrus said.

"I have faith in your abilities, Ruth. Now go down. I need to concentrate. Don't bother me again unless it's absolutely necessary, Guilliman," the Emperor said.

Guilliman nodded. Then, he and Rhodo, one on each side, lifted Lemanrus and carried him away from the depths of the Holy Terra Palace, returning to the upper dimension. Here, Lemanrus encountered an old acquaintance, the deceased Imperial Chancellor and hero, Makado.

"Prime Minister Macado, you, you're still alive? How did you, how did you resurrect?" During the Siege of Terra, Macado sat on the Golden Throne in place of his father. Although it was only for a short period of less than a day, it exhausted the prime minister's life and soul.

"Welcome back, Ruth. The reason I was able to be resurrected and return is because of Rhodes, one of his special creations, which possesses the law of death!"

"After the law of death is upgraded to the highest level, it can unconditionally resurrect a person, and I was chosen to be resurrected," Makado said.

“I see! Welcome back, Chancellor of the Empire,” Ruth said, nodding.

“Russ, it’s not just Magnus who’s returned, but also Chancellor Macado, and actually there’s someone else who might surprise you, or rather, two of them. Can you guess who it is?” Guilliman said.

"Speak your mind, or shut up. I'm not fucking interested in arguing with you. Don't fucking play word games with me." Leman Russ retorted to Guilliman without any politeness.

Taking him to see his father, but not telling him about Magnus, wasn't it just to see him make a fool of himself?
You got what you wanted, but don't expect me to be nice to you.

"Ahem! Fine, you stupid wolf, I'll tell you."

Horus has returned, and now, like you, he is a Primarch of the Empire.

"At the same time, Lion King Leon, Archangel Saint Gilles, Lord of Fire Vulcan, Chagatai Khan, Raven King Klax, Rock Rogdorn, and all my brothers have returned," Guilliman said with a smile.

"What did you say? Horus??"
