Warhammer 40 Unorthodox Primarch
Chapter 17 Kneel! Gray Knight!
The Grey Knights arrived. Li Taiji frowned. These guys were known as the Emperor's last gift to humanity, but in reality, they didn't do very well.
Even in the eyes of humans, they are no different from chaotic demons, or even more terrifying...
They're always issuing extermination orders and purging everything. Li Taiji knew perfectly well what they were doing here. This place had been attacked by Chaos, so if they hadn't encountered any of the Chaos Gods' forces, they were simply here to slaughter this planet...
The spaceship landed, and a squad of Grey Knights emerged. They were awestruck by the sight of the Guardians of the People holding a duel ceremony.
The People's Guardians inherited Li Taiji's massive physique, with most of them being no less than five meters tall. Even the Primarchs were not as tall as these People's Guardians. Apart from the people of the world of Alteramar, no one else knew about the Twenty-One Primarchs.
The Grey Knight arrogantly read out the Inquisition's decree: the inhabitants of this planet must be eradicated, the reason being to prevent them from being corrupted by Chaos...
"You bastard! Say that again! What are the Grey Knights? You think you can just kill them like that? Billions of people! You think you can kill them just because of a piece of toilet paper? Do you think we're invisible?" Lin Dafa put on his power armor and looked down at the group of Grey Knights.
"This is the order of the court! No one may question it!" The leading gray knight said arrogantly, raising his head.
"Hmph! Are the Grey Knights loyal to the Inquisition or the Emperor? Or are they serving the Inquisition in the name of the Emperor?" Li Taiji walked over from behind. The Guardians of the People consciously made way for him, but the atmosphere was extremely tense. If a fight broke out, it would be a one-sided affair.
The Grey Knights will be worn down by the People's Guardians! They are psionic warriors skilled at hunting demons, but almost all of the People's Guardians possess psionic abilities, albeit to varying degrees and with different focuses. In essence, they are superior to the Grey Knights.
"You are the Twenty-first Primarch? This has nothing to do with you. There is no mention of you or your offspring in the extermination order..." the Grey Knight said arrogantly.
"Hehehe! Hahaha! Little Grey! This is the first time I've ever heard an Astartes speak to me like this! Even the Astartes that have fallen into chaos wouldn't dare to speak to me like this! I'll give you a chance to rephrase your words!" Li Taiji was furious.
The survivors of Kadia have had a very difficult time. On that planet, tens of billions of people were slaughtered by the Tyranids, leaving only seven billion! It was Li Taiji who saved them in the first battle!
For this reason, the Guardians of the People have died and been resurrected countless times. Lin Dafa was able to become the Emperor Champion and the Emperor's Chosen One because of this perseverance!
The purpose of an emperor's existence is to protect humanity! This is like the great principle that emperors believe in, while the corrupt human imperial system tramples on the emperor's cherishment of humanity.
The Grey Knights may be very powerful, but their arrogance and contempt for life have betrayed the Emperor.
Li Taiji knew very well that the Emperor and the Primarch were a large-scale family drama, and although the Grey Knights claimed to be derived from the Emperor's own genes, this had not been proven! The Emperor liked to create interesting things, like the Imperial Guard, all of which were the Emperor's way of guiding humanity's exploration of the future and finding the most perfect answer.
But the Grey Knights seem to have lost the most important thing: humanity! The Empire's current power structure resembles a chaotic world, with the Inquisition, the High Lords Council, the Human Nobles, and even the Custodian Army all forming their own groups!
They basically use the emperor's name to obtain their own benefits, and they don't even think that the Throne Coins are as valuable as humans.
Even the High Lords' Council and the Inquisition no longer held the Emperor's angels, the Astartes, in their eyes as if their power could judge everything...
"Primarch, I also hope you will retract your words. Going against the Inquisition will not do you any good..." the Grey Knight said without any fear.
"Very good! Very good! I originally had some illusions about the internal situation, but now it seems that some things cannot be avoided. Power grows out of the barrel of a gun, but you Grey Knights don't have that right! You few birdmen think you can swagger around? Before, your high status was because you were irreplaceable! But that may not be the case in the future! The Guardians of the People are stronger than you! You have offended me! So, on behalf of the Emperor, I sentence you to death!" With that, Li Taiji grabbed the Grey Knight.
Under the grip of the power claws, this Grey Knight looked like a figurine...
As for their supposedly invincible psychic powers? Don't be ridiculous. While Li Taiji's psychic abilities are lacking compared to other Primarchs or Chosen Ones, his passive psychic absorption is an inherent ability. Otherwise, given the Chaos God's conduct, why wouldn't he harass them? He even only sent Angron, this so-called Prince Khorne…
Li Taiji's devouring power is different from the Silent Sister's ability. It can directly devour the power in the subspace. Even if the four Chaos Gods personally visit or pass by, they will have to leave a "passing fee".
A single Grey Knight is no match for Li Taiji. In terms of potential, Li Taiji surpasses all Primarchs. Otherwise, Guilliman wouldn't value his younger brother so much. He wants to train Li Taiji to become the sharpest sword in human history!
With a single squeeze, Li Taiji flattened the Grey Knight into a mushy mess, even destroying his Grey Knight-inherited power armor.
The Grey Knights tensed up, but without their prized psionic abilities, their combat strength was no greater than that of a regular Astartes, and they were even weaker than the Smurf Primitive Space Marines!
"The first lesson I'm teaching you is to learn to respect the Primarch! This is my territory from now on. Your choice is yours—to live or to die! Do you intend to fight to the death and be my eternal enemy, or kneel down and submit? You only have one chance to choose!" Li Taiji's knife swept across their heads, the pressure palpable...
At the same time, the Emperor's shadow faintly appeared behind Li Taiji. The bond between him and the Emperor remained, and the Emperor naturally saw what was happening here.
"Dad! Let's just wipe them out! I know the Grey Knights are only a few hundred or so strong! At worst, I'll take their jobs, and we'll expand our army later. With our abilities and genetic traits, we're stronger than them! I have no qualms about wiping them out!" Lin Dafu brandished a large electric baton—this thing should now be called the Guardian Scepter, since Lin Dafu was now the Emperor's handpicked champion, and his weapon needed a better name…
"Primarch, we have no intention of being your enemy. This is the Inquisition's order, and we are merely its executors..." The Grey Knight's tone softened for once.
They can't be too lenient either. If the Grey Knights are really slaughtered, they will be devastated and it will be too difficult for them to replenish their ranks. The selection process for recruits is also too demanding.
"Kneel down! Or die! I don't want to say it a second time!" Li Taiji said.
Looking at his surroundings, the halo behind Li Taiji, and the phantom of the Emperor, the Grey Knight had no choice but to kneel down...
No one could have imagined that Li Taiji would confront the Imperial Inquisition at such a weak time. This wasn't just a confrontation with the Inquisition, but a confrontation with the entire system of the Imperial Empire! This was Tzeentch's plan; he wanted to use internal pressure to prevent the rise of a new Primarch! Any Primarch could potentially change the existing order, and in Li Taiji, they felt he was more like an early emperor, full of unwavering ideals and humanity…
