After murdering the Martian Forge General, Duker stood at the messy scene, his expression still calm. He bypassed all communication detection methods through the heart network and issued instructions to Lev.

At this time, the guard regiment inside the Chief Forger's residence finally responded.

As the supreme leader of the Mechanicum, Dia'an naturally has a guard legion.

It's just that the Martian Covenant is there, and no one can think that the two Primarchs dare to kill the Chief Forger.

Duker and Guilliman followed the visit procedures and visited the Chief Forger openly and openly.

How could the guards have imagined that Duker would kill him without hesitation in the room where they were having a secret conversation?

In their view, even if the Emperor were here in person today, he would not casually violate the covenant he made ten thousand years ago.

All the guards were at a loss in this unexpected situation. Their mechanical brains were in chaos, and black smoke even appeared above the heads of many of them.

Only after seeing the scattered corpses of the Chief Forger did they realize what had happened here.

A Lancer-type mecha sent by the Knight Family to protect the Chief Forger immediately went crazy after seeing this.

This is an extremely rare, melee-oriented Horned Viper Knight mecha. They are famous for their speed and power that far exceeds that of ordinary mechas, as well as their moody and uncontrollable machine spirits.

Often only the most impulsive and glory-hungry get behind the wheel.

The Lancer looked at the remains of the General Forger's body in this secret room. His pilot was sitting on the mechanical throne inside the mecha, his mind buzzing.

The ancestor's angry roar rang in the knight's ears, and his anger instantly burned out all his rationality.

"You guys, kill the Chief Forger!"

As a knight who values ​​honor and commitment more than his life, he was entrusted by the King of Knights to protect the Chief Forger.

Now the object of protection is dead.

What should he do?

"How dare you?!"

The knight couldn't understand that his impulsive character had eroded all his rationality. On the mechanical throne, the angry roars of the ancestors became stronger and stronger, and the desire to kill filled his heart.

"You betray the old Martian covenant, and everyone will be punished!"

The Chief Forger was already dead, and no way could save his life. The knight's heart completely collapsed, and he charged at Duker with his spear in hand.

Without the need for Durkor to take action, Guilliman stepped forward in silence.

The flames of the Emperor's Sword in his hand rose, drawing a line of golden flames in front of him and Dukel.

"Anyone who crosses this line is considered a traitor!"

A knight mecha dared to charge towards the original body.

It seems that the interior of Mars is indeed corrupt. In the eyes of some stubborn knights, the sanctity of the Mechanicum is even higher than that of the Empire.

When he killed the Forger, Guilliman felt guilty for his hesitation. Now this group of people dared to charge Dukel in front of him?

The regent was furious.

"Brother, let me remove the obstacles for you."

Dukel watched as more and more Knight Mechas, Mechanical Skitarii and even Mechanical Archsages were approaching here. His mentality was still good, and he was even in the mood to complain to Guilliman.

"Brother, are you sure you can solve everything here on your own?"

Guilliman's anger froze, and his face even turned a little red.

"How could there be so many knights and such a large skitarii hidden in the palace of the Chief Forger? What is he going to do?"

In fact, Guilliman really wronged the Forger.

Normally, there is indeed not so much defense power in his palace.

But now the situation is different. After Dukel returned to Terra, he launched a bloody purge, and a group of powerful people suddenly committed suicide at home.

Although the Chief Forger considers himself "orthodox", he still has a guilty conscience. He is worried that one day Terra's murderous ghost will appear on Mars and he will be forced to commit suicide.

Therefore, all the power that can be gathered was gathered.

For example, the knight who rushed towards the Primarch had arrived only a few days ago from a remote planet in the medieval era.

The growth experience of the knights is very special. Most of the time, they are like the medieval knights of ancient Terra. The young knights do not even have the concept of interstellar civilization.

It's a pity that the Chief Forger never expected that the two Primarchs would visit and assassinate in an open and honest manner.

So much so that his bodyguards did not play their due role until his death.

Guilliman, who had just said that he would kill all the guards, was very embarrassed at this moment.

Careless.

Even though he is the original body holding the Emperor's Sword, he only knows physical attacks. Facing the mechanical legion composed of mechanical skitarii, great sages, and knight mecha, it is difficult for him to protect himself, let alone generals. Kill them all.

The war potential of the Adeptus Mechanicus is far greater than it appears on the surface.

In the era before the Primarchs had returned, the Mechanicum was the strongest force in the empire, and it could even be said that there was no other force.

But even if he was surrounded by such a huge legion, Duker was not worried.

His personal bravery is his confidence. Although he only has a brief understanding of spiritual energy, he still has the power of the mind and a demigod body that has reached the upper limit of the rules of the physical universe and is invincible in a hundred battles.

It can be said that in terms of physical strength alone, not even the Emperor of the 30th Millennium can compare with him.

Compared with the physical strength and martial arts of warriors, the Emperor is better at psychic witchcraft.

The only thing he had to worry about now was to pay attention to Guilliman.

If by accident, the noble imperial regent is sent to the ICU by the Skitarii, it will be great fun.

"Guilliman, stop this mad knight."

Duker didn't know what was wrong with this knight mecha, but he could feel that the souls of the knight and the mecha were filled with crazy rage and murderous intent.

Guilliman nodded and rushed over.

As a warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles, he also noticed that among the escorts present, only this knight mecha had the strongest killing intent.

"As for you, are you sure you want to participate in the rebellion against the empire?"

Trapped in a tight siege, Duker's face was cold, and he calmly stared at the mechanical army in front of him.

Just with his own momentum and a few words, the pressure on the great sages present increased sharply.

"As the heirs of the Emperor, we no longer have the power to kill heretics?"

The Great Sage, who knew something about what happened on Terra, almost blurted out the question after hearing Dukel's words,

"Has the Chief Forger also become a heretic?"

Dukel nodded happily, "This great sage has clear judgment and has not been deceived by the disguise of the chief caster."

"I didn't mean that 010110"

The great sage who had just spoken quickly explained for himself. Although his voice still did not rise and fall, his Gothic language mixed with binary language revealed his inner anxiety.

"Your Highness Dukel, I'm just a little surprised - there are so many heretics hidden in the empire?"

The words of this great sage immediately resonated with more sages around him.

Frankly speaking, when Duker massacred the nobles on Terra, the great sages who were watching the show on Mars still recognized the Primarch.

Most sages believe that since the Primarchs said those people are heretics, then the powerful people must be heretics.

After all, the aristocracy is the hardest hit area by chaos corruption.

Moreover, those who can become sages in the Cult of Mechanicus have lived in the empire for at least hundreds of years - they also see what those nobles usually do.

That certainly doesn't seem like the kind of evil a human being can do.

Most of the great mechanical sages are also from civilian backgrounds, so it is reasonable for them to think that nobles are heretics.

But now, after the powerful, even the Chief Forger of the Mechanicum has become a heretic.

The Great Mechanical Sages asked themselves, it was difficult for them to accept the original body's words anymore.

It seems that these sacred emperor's parents and children are not the same as the image of Jinkou Yuyan in their impression.

Seeing the silent encouragement from his colleagues around him, the great sage who had just spoken boldly asked again,

"Sir, what evidence do you have to prove that the Chief Forger is also a heretic corrupted by Chaos?"

"I can prove it!"

Guilliman, who was still fighting with the knight mecha, turned his head and roared angrily.

The great sages looked at each other and then shook their heads.

Obviously, it is okay to deceive ordinary people with the regent's testimony, but it is almost impossible to deceive these great sages.

"Want evidence?" Dukel nodded, "A reasonable request."

The next moment, he walked to the huge wreckage of the chief caster and took out a spherical core device.

when the device is exposed to people.

The interior of the entire room changed, as if a ferocious demon that chose people to eat was about to escape from the device, and a shrill roar echoed throughout the palace.

The elusive aura of filthy chaos spread, and the entire palace instantly turned into a demon's lair.

The walls squirmed like flesh and blood, and layers of whispers sounded in the ears of every great sage.

The smell of blood filled the air, and everyone felt the horror from within.

"Gulu——"

Duker casually threw the core device at the great sages, and the sphere imprisoning the demon rolled on the flesh and blood floor.

The great sages moved forward cautiously. Naturally, they would not be frightened by the aura of chaos, but after some inspection, they all showed expressions of disbelief.

Duker looked at them calmly, and even his eyes had an unspeakably complicated expression at this time.

The Forge is not a heretic corrupted by Chaos.

The Chief Forger is a heretic corrupted by Chaos!

The chaotic scene presented all around is not a mysterious phantom, but a real reality.

Because Duker said he was a heretic, then he really was.

No one can check it, but it can't change the fact that the Chief Forger was eroded by Chaos.

This is the result of the orc human field composed of billions of orcs, plus the sixth level of spiritual cultivation technology, the virtual realm.

As Duker once said to Magnus,

"This universe may just be an absurd dream——"

In this idealistic universe, in front of the Lord of the Soul, the barrier between reality and illusion has become increasingly thin.

In Dukel's will, the reality of the Chief Forger that had not been corroded by Chaos was judged to be an illusion by the universe.

The illusion that the Chief Forger had eroded by chaos was judged to be reality by the universe.

Of course, this is almost his current limit. His current energy alone is not enough to allow him to do whatever he wants in the real universe.

"It's time for you to believe it now." Duker looked at them coldly,

"I've said it before, I never wrong a good person."

Most of the great sages believed it.

They compared various parameters and confirmed that this was the core device of the Chief Caster.

No wonder they don’t believe it!

A small group of great sages looked at Duker with great awe. Their hearts were filled with fear and they dared not believe it.

They had received intelligence and knew that Duker had a spiritual force field that could distort reality.

But

Directly twisting the Chief Forger, who could not have any connection with Chaos, into a heretic contaminated by Chaos.

They reinterpreted what Duker once said——

"I would never wrong a good man."

"Whoever I say is a heretic is a heretic!"

Now, they finally understood the true meaning of these words.

"Zi La!——"

The mechanical brains of several mechanical sages burst out blue arcs of electricity. This impact that completely distorted reality made them doubt the reality of the material universe.

If even this kind of thing can be done, then what is the meaning of the knowledge they pursue in the material universe and the truths they believe in for life?

Truth does not exist!

"Zizzi——"

The arc light emitted from their machines became more and more conspicuous, and the error alarm inside the machines became louder, but they still ignored it.

The collapse of faith even caused them to lose their belief in existence.

Unable to find the answer, they are willing to destroy themselves in thinking.

"What happen to you guys?"

Seeing their nearly burned-out bodies, the great sages around them asked in confusion.

They completely did not understand why the Chief Forger was corrupted by Chaos and caused such major malfunctions to occur to these colleagues.

Dukel's eyes followed.

At the moment when they looked into each other's eyes, the great sages who had given up on themselves suddenly felt infinite courage rise in their numb hearts.

When they regained the courage to survive in this universe, the destruction of the body automatically stopped.

After the great sages regained consciousness, they stared blankly at the original body in the field.

How should they feel at this time?

fear? Horrified? despair? .

They don't know, because their hearts at this moment have been completely filled with fearless courage, and they cannot raise any negative and low emotions at all.

"Hahahahaha"

A great sage suddenly laughed crazily. He knelt under the steel boots of the original body.

"Praise be to you, great being."

His expression was extremely crazy, and his heart was filled with great courage, but a drop of turbid tears flowed out from his eye glands that had not been removed.

He was convinced.

Seeing that almost all the great sages had believed his testimony, Dukel nodded with satisfaction.

But why is that knight mecha still fighting Guilliman?

"Who is that?" Duker asked.

"Sir, he is a knight from a family affiliated with the Titan Order." A great sage answered. After a moment of pause, he said again, "This is the first time he has left his own world."

Duker understood.

During the expedition to the dark side of the galaxy, the expeditionary legion also accepted the joining of many knight families. Most of the knights knew little about the galaxy. Most knights would make a lot of fools of themselves when they first left the planet.

The knight in front of him probably had too little driving experience and was reversely controlled by the machine spirit inside the mecha.

No wonder it's like crazy.

In previous wars, Duker even saw that the knight himself was dead and the mecha was completely fought by its machine soul. Its fighting style was equally crazy.

"Both the Titan Order and the Knight Family support the Chief Forger. Now that the Chief Forger has been confirmed to be corrupted by Chaos, it makes sense that the knights will also be corrupted by Chaos."

Duker's analysis is well-founded and convincing.

The great sages all showed shock.

And what shocked them even more.

As the voice of the original body fell, blood actually overflowed from the gaps in the shell of the knight's mecha.

Indescribable whispers echoed in the knight's ears,

"Who is interrupting this duel of honor!"

The knight roared, trying to escape the tangle of whispering voices.

But at this moment, his body stiffened and his eyes lost focus.

When he woke up again, his consciousness had come to a fantasy space, with a huge ring of flames hanging high on the dome.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me." The knight knelt down on one knee, facing the ring of flame thorns.

Entering the virtual realm, the knight recalled the scene where he had charged towards the original body, and couldn't help but regret.

During the battle, the knight's mecha suddenly froze.

Then he was stabbed into the cockpit by Guilliman's sword.

But the regent was a little hard to understand.

"Why did this knight's body suddenly lose its response?" Guilliman looked confused.

Duker thought for a moment and analyzed, "Brother, it's obvious that he was disturbed by Chaos."

Guilliman nodded, "I see."

The great sages stood aside in silence.

After solving the knight mecha, the original bodies turned their attention to them.

"Blood seems to be flowing out of the gaps in the knight's body. The blood carries the stench of chaos. Everyone has seen it with their own eyes. Can they be witnesses for Guilliman?"

Guilliman nodded, "Yes, I have also seen it with my own eyes. It seems that the connection between the Knight family and Chaos is deeper than we thought."

This time Guilliman really didn't mean to help Dulquer frame others.

He really saw it.

The mechanical sages remained silent.

It was at this time that Lev, the head of the Supreme Council, arrived belatedly.

"What happened here?"

When he saw the torn body of the Chief Forger, he seemed to be frightened and his face turned pale.

"Chief Forger. What happened?"

The appearance of the Chief of the Supreme Council immediately made many great mechanical sages feel relieved.

They did not yet know that Lev had pledged his allegiance to Dukel.

Apparently, the Primarchs never visited the High Council.

Lev visited Dukel that day, and he also visited quietly late at night at the invitation of the murderous ghost.

The Forge also occupies a seat on the High Council. When a member dies, the Forge will do justice to him.

This is a natural thought.

In the eyes of most people, the Supreme Council is still the representative of the pinnacle of imperial power.

Therefore, the great sages immediately reported what happened here to the president of the Supreme Council.

After hearing the reports from the great sages, Lev was even more shocked.

"How could this be?"

Lev looked at Dukel;

"My lord, are you saying that the Chief Forger has also been corrupted by Chaos?"

Dukel nodded.

Although he is not afraid of the Martian Covenant and does not mind letting others know that he killed the Chief Forger, he can only allow others to think this way in their hearts.

On the surface, His Highness Duker is killing heretics.

Even if the Emperor comes, I am still killing heretics.

How does a primarch with stains on his body become a warmaster, and how does he lead the empire to fulfill its manifest destiny to rule the galaxy?

He must be holy.

I know what you are thinking in your heart, but I can only think about it in my heart. On the surface, I will always be the glorious heir of the emperor.

The justice and truth of the empire will always stand on the side of the original body.

Lev's face was pale, as if he was completely frightened by the situation in front of him.

"My lords, do you have any evidence to prove that the chief forger is a heretic?"

Duker continued to nod, "Of course, don't worry about this. I always rely on evidence when doing things."

Lev breathed a sigh of relief, "So, sir, was it really you who killed the Chief Forger?"

Duker shook his head, "Commander, I didn't kill anyone. Has anyone seen me kill the Chief Forger?"

Lev looked at the great sages.

The great sages remained silent.

To be honest, it was only now that they recalled that they had never seen Dukel do anything with their own eyes.

Lev asked cautiously, "Then how did the chief caster die?"

Duker lowered his head and pondered, looking at the pieces of body debris here and there. He analyzed carefully and said,

"The Chief Forger was exposed as a Chaos follower by me and the Imperial Regent, so he committed suicide out of fear of guilt!"
