Warhammer 40 Unorthodox Primarch
Chapter 81 The Emperor's Power
Li Taiji acquired a super battleship, but felt no joy, because it was a thorny problem.
These people have been lost in the Warp for an unknown amount of time, yet they still firmly believe in the Emperor and continue to scorn the evil gods of the Warp. It can be said that any one of them is an extremely steadfast loyalist.
Their bodies were all corrupted and altered by the power of the subspace; their bodies mutated, but their souls remained loyal!
If Li Taiji were to eliminate this group of people in the most efficient and simplest way, it might be very easy and without any aftereffects, but this would violate Li Taiji's moral bottom line and beliefs!
The reason why the People's Guardians are powerful is not because they believe in the Emperor, but because they believe in the principle of human supremacy upheld by the Emperor.
By abandoning one's faith, a crack appears within oneself, and unexpected troubles may arise in the future. However, it cannot be left unattended. The aura of these people and these devices are like shining coordinates, and the evil things in the warp will definitely smell them and come here! One's small family and business cannot withstand such turmoil. Without a foundation, one will still have to wander.
Therefore, whether to kill or not is a difficult choice, and Li Taiji at least has no better option.
Li Taiji returned to the War Monastery in Aurelia. The devices had been sealed away, and Li Taiji could only ask the Emperor. Only the Emperor had a way to reverse the state of these people. If it could be reversed, that would be the best outcome, and it might even have miraculous effects...
Li Taiji told the emperor what had happened, and the emperor remained silent. In fact, the simplest and most effective way was to kill him! The empire didn't treat people as human beings; human life was just currency to the emperor!
However, the Emperor had to take this matter seriously, because Li Taiji was his hope. If Li Taiji was not of one mind with him, or if something happened in the future, all of the Emperor's investments would be wasted, and the whole mess would collapse...
"My child, I can grant you great power! You can reverse their changes, but in reality, they have also died once..." the Emperor said.
"What do you mean? They have to die? So many people! I can't even imagine! Many of them are veterans from the Great Expedition! They're all treasures! I can't bring myself to do it..." Li Taiji said, shrugging.
"No, my child, the warp energy in these people's bodies has been irreversibly corrupted. Their bodies have already decayed. The only thing I can save is their souls! Have you heard of the Cursed Legion? It's a state where souls exist..." the Emperor said.
The Cursed Legion, the Empire's most mysterious force, only returns in times of absolute crisis—these are the dead! They vanquish all attacks, slaughtering relentlessly! Their souls descend into the physical universe, their power unbelievable! And every member of the Cursed Legion is an absolute powerhouse! Only the strongest souls can enter, and there are even legends of deceased Primarchs among them…
"The soul is another form of existence. I have explored many directions, and the soul is one of the future evolutionary paths of humanity! That is, to exist without relying on a body and ascend to a higher dimensional realm. This is all I can do! In reality, the Cursed Legion is not reliable. They have many uncertainties, so allowing them to live as souls is also because of their loyalty. As for combat power, we will not consider it too much..." the Emperor said.
"It's the only way! Your Luojia is really going to use some serious tricks on you! He wants to spread more Chaos believers and drag more people down with him! Then it won't just be a fight to the death with those four bastards anymore..." Li Taiji said.
"The subspace has its own rules, and Luo Jia's fate will not be good. Ambition exceeding strength will only lead to destruction! I need to use you to do all this..." As he spoke, the Emperor's consciousness entered Li Taiji's body and took control of it.
"Hmm! This body is really strong, even better than the body I had before I sat on the Golden Throne..." the Emperor murmured after being possessed.
"What are you doing? You want to possess me? Fine, you can possess me! Just send me back! I really have nothing to miss..." Li Taiji used a retreat as a tactic to advance, but he was still wary of the emperor.
"Hehehe! Don't even think about it. There's only one way for me to reshape my physical body! That is to ascend to godhood! But the price of doing that is the collapse of the human will! I can have such a body anytime I want, but I won't do that! It's meaningless! What I want is the future of humanity..." The emperor's tone was very calm, but it mocked Li Taiji's shortsightedness.
"Alright! The empire depends on you all by yourself, you're awesome! You're my boss! I'll work for you..." Li Taiji said self-deprecatingly.
"No! This time you are doing this on behalf of my will. Faith is poison to me, but you need it. As long as your faith is strong enough, your warp projection will be larger and you will be able to use more power. I can also relax a bit and suppress my ascension to godhood. This is no less torment than the Golden Throne has inflicted on me..." the Emperor said.
"Why me? There are more than just me as the Primarch, Guilliman would be a perfect fit..." Li Taiji asked.
"You are different from them! You are not from the Warp in essence. All the power and everything the Primarchs possess are merely your vessels and tools! Your truly valuable things have not yet been discovered! You are the bottom line of humanity..." The Emperor said no more.
Li Taiji seemed to know a lot, yet also seemed to know very little, but there was no time to think about it further. The Emperor used his body to leave the monastery of Aurelia.
The entire glass enclosure outside was opened, and the distorted subspace energy, like twisted smoke, kept those watching outside the force field; otherwise, it would have been a disaster…
"Holy crap! I'm impressed! My grandpa rode my dad out like that! Look!" Lin Dafa's mischievous, high-pitched voice immediately attracted everyone's attention. Only he had enough spiritual power to see it.
"Loyal souls will surely be redeemed! In the name of me, the Emperor of Mankind! In the name of the extension of my descendants, Primarch Li Taiji, the 21st Genetic Primarch of the Empire, redeem your loyal souls!" As he spoke, wings burst forth from behind Li Taiji, and there were several pairs of them! The largest were, of course, dragon wings, which were Li Taiji's weapons. The slightly smaller ones were angel wings, which were also gifts from the Emperor. These wings also had psionic properties, further enhancing Li Taiji's dramatic presence.
Don't forget that Saint Gilles is perfect! If Li Taiji's image is attached to that side, he will gain more faith. Moreover, the psionic wings have many uses and will greatly improve his combat power. Otherwise, if he is dragged into the warp, he will definitely be beaten to a pulp in the battle against the Great Demon and the Demon Prince!
This can be considered a way for the emperor to save Li Taiji's life...
The emperor's power radiated outwards. Under the golden light, those terrifying and broken bodies gradually withered and weathered into dust, while their souls, nourished by the golden light, were no longer in a particularly weak state and had already revealed their original form.
The ease and liberation of their souls led them to kneel in a salute reminiscent of the Heavenly Eagle, and to follow the emperor's divine decree to worship Li Taiji, the emperor's twenty-first son! The hope of the empire…
News of the Emperor's divine intervention spread quickly. The reason why the Four Evil Gods of Chaos were so arrogant was that they were certain that the Emperor would not be able to get up, and that he was more seriously injured than the Four Evil Gods!
Lord Gao also seized power by taking advantage of the emperor's predicament. The emperor's miracles had a far-reaching impact, extending far beyond mere gains and losses. This made Li Taiji the center of attention...
