Hawks from the Land of Light are calling me a dove and an undercover agent in the chat group.

Lucius immediately went limp.

He had always found it strange that the Empire had such invincible technology to create such an invincible Titan, but now it was clear that this thing was not a new type of Titan at all, but a mount of a brand new Primarch that was unique to the entire Empire, similar to the Mountain Array!

It's likely that this cursed being, the false emperor, created it using a large amount of Dark Age technology combined with invincible psychic energy; it's impossible for a second such special product to exist. (First published on Bichon Chinese website)

I'm using Primarch-level and Mountain Array-level units? Really?

"Are you kidding me!"

Lucius immediately started cursing, saying that he shouldn't think that just because he received Slaanesh's blessing and became the chosen one of the Chaos Gods, he was anything special.

There are at least several thousand or tens of thousands of demon princes who have ascended to demonic status, and there may even be more. Each of those demon princes is just like him and can be called a true chosen one of the Chaos Gods. But what is the Primarch?

That's a race and existence that has only existed in the entire Milky Way throughout history, and there are only twenty-one of them!

Apart from the False Emperor and the Chaos Gods, nothing is more powerful, more precious, or more valuable than the Primal Body.

Even the Mountain Array of the Empire of Man, at its peak and most prosperous period, could not be valued as much as a Primarch. How could a mere Chosen One compare to Shinji Ikari? He's not like Horus, who is chosen by all four gods!

Lucius desperately wanted to run away on the spot, but he couldn't. With Unit-01 pointing at him so clearly, he couldn't move an inch.

Although its stance is not psionic, as a god-level power, sealing off the warp abilities of a mere chosen one of gods is still a piece of cake.

"Shinji Ikari!"

With his mind racing and alarm bells blaring, Lucius steeled his resolve and roared, "Does a Primarch not even have this much honor? As a Primarch, do you really need to use a machine or external force to deal with a mere Astartes like me?"

"What about your glory, your honor, your dignity as a Primarch? Even if you can defeat me with this machine, I won't accept it. I challenge you to a duel!"

"Come out, new Primarch! If you don't come out and fight me one-on-one, then you are afraid of me, the champion, and you fear me, the son of Forgrim. It means you fear my father and have always considered yourself inferior to him. That is your defeat!"

It's a tactic of provocation, so obvious that anyone can see it, but it's really effective.

In the Empire, no loyalist can tolerate insults and humiliations from Chaos, especially a Primarch of that caliber. If they are put on a pedestal and do not respond to the invitation, they will truly feel that their dignity has been greatly damaged.

Lucius prepared to flee.

Fighting Unit-01 is out of the question, but fighting the Primarch? Although he definitely wouldn't win, at least he'd have a chance to escape; it all depends on whether he can seize it.

On one side, Caul was also ready to record the first battle of this new Primarch of the Empire. The recording functions of all the mechanical parts on his body were turned on and adjusted to the clearest picture quality.

No one thought Shinji Ikari would accept this provocation.

Until Unit-01 fired a shot, Lucius was instantly reduced to ashes.

Lucius, whose head was gradually disappearing: "?"

The Emperor's son, who was surrounded and blown away by the aftershocks: "?"

Belisarius Caul, who wasted electricity for nothing: "?"

Ah this?

"Turn it off!" Titus and Sergeant Sevis, who seemed to appear out of nowhere, flanked him, immediately setting up the Great Sage's Examination.

Er, in a sinister and extremely threatening manner, coerced the elderly.

I have no idea how they managed to jump all the way from so far away to get here so quickly.

The underlying principles don't need to be explored in detail, because they are the Primarch's guard, and they will never be absent when the Primarch needs them!

Although the Primarch's refusal to fight was initially unexpected, after considering Shinji's small arms and legs, the two of them immediately understood that it was only natural.

We can't exactly send the specialized Shinji to fight hand-to-hand with the two- or three-meter-tall Astartes, can we? That would be ridiculous!

Of course, while it may seem reasonable, in the eyes of others it could be evidence of defamation against His Highness the Primarch. So even the legendary Great Sage Kaul, sorry, you cannot leave any information or records on this matter.

"Shut it down then!"

Kaul was very defiant, and immediately deleted all the videos with a hum.

That's how tough we are!

Damn it, it's been ten thousand years since we've seen the Primarch. What's wrong with giving the Primarch some something? This isn't cowardice; it's his way of greeting him. He's all about social skills.

"For the Emperor! For the Empire! For humanity! For the Primarch!"

"For the Emperor! For the Empire! For the Primarch!"

"For the Emperor! For the Primarch!"

"For the Primarch!"

"For Shinji Ikari!"

The entire Forgeworld was filled with fighting spirit, and slogans changed every second. As they shouted, the Emperor, the Empire, and humanity disappeared, leaving only the Primarch.

They respected the Primarch too much, loved the Primarch too much, and loved progress too much.

With Lucius dead, his trusted confidants and the emperor's sons were also blasted to death by cannon fire. Chaos was instantly thrown into chaos, suffering heavy losses and fleeing in defeat.

"Drive all the enemies of Chaos from the Empire's territory!"

This also became "Expel all the enemies of Chaos from the Forging Worlds belonging to the Primarch!"

Since the Primarch is the Emperor's son, he is the Crown Prince, the Heir Apparent, and the Regent. Therefore, the Imperial territory naturally belongs to the Primarch. (First published by Fantasy Princess)

With so many planets in the Empire, it's impossible for the Primarch to visit them all. Now that the Primarch has finally come in person, if we don't surrender now, when will we?

If this place becomes a planet directly under the control of the new Primarch, then all kinds of benefits will inevitably skyrocket, and as the original inhabitants of this place, they will naturally feel honored as well!

What? You're saying the local leaders might not be happy, and might prefer to be a local tyrant rather than surrender to the original regime?

When the local sage was alive, he had the final say on that matter, but now that everyone has been beheaded, he's nothing!

"Long live the Primarch! Long live the Primarch!"

"You are the only eleven suns in our hearts, loyal and faithful!"

Nine loyal Primarchs, the new Primarchs, ascended to the sky on the eleventh day, just in time.

The one-sided war quickly came to an end, and everyone in the world flocked to Unit-01, captivated by its towering and awe-inspiring divine machine.

To the enemy, it is a terrifying killing machine; to our own people, seeing this thing is more reassuring than seeing an entire Astartes Chapter!

Without needing to say more, everyone who came here immediately knelt down in unison.

Whether they were from the Mechanicus, the State Church, the Inquisition, the Astral Army, or Imperial workers who had not yet been converted into mech servants, everyone was in tears, their loyalty stemming from the bottom of their hearts.

Especially the mechanical students, who exclaimed "Omnissiah" countless times in a single second.

If this weren't the Primarch's mount, they would have swarmed around it, performing all sorts of caresses, prayers, and eerie chants, before quickly snatching it away and keeping it hidden away forever.

"Stand up, don't kneel!"

With two loud bangs, Shinji Ikari, looking quite displeased, emerged from Unit-01, stood face-to-face with the people on the ground, and shouted at them.

He just couldn't understand why there were classic replicas. Did they think he would experience this scene every time he went to a planet? That would be too creepy and too humiliating.

"Get up, all of you, get up!"

Seeing the locals exchanging bewildered glances, filled with fear and unease, wondering if they had done something wrong to anger the Primarch and thus been stripped of their right to pay homage to the Great Primarch, Titus and Sergeant Sevis stepped forward to explain:

"His Highness Shinji doesn't need such formalities. His views are unique. He doesn't need your kneeling. He only needs you to be loyal to the Empire and the Emperor, and to fight for the Empire. That would be his greatest comfort!"

Although neither of them understood why the Primarch was so averse to being worshipped by the people of the Empire, it did not prevent them from following the Primarch's wishes.

After all, although this would reduce the pomp and circumstance, the Primarch's dignity and prestige would not be damaged by such a trivial matter.

"Great Primarch!"

Suddenly, a large number of people on the scene fainted, all moved to tears. In their eyes, the fact that they didn't need to kneel was not the point; what mattered was that the Primarch had recognized their loyalty. This was the highest form of recognition, and how fortunate they were!

"..."

Shinji Ikari was numb. He didn't want to say anything anymore. It was exactly the same. It was exactly the same. The reaction of this group was exactly the same as that of Titus and Sergeant Sevis at the beginning.

So he also realized that talking about rationality with these people was pointless.

That's all useless; it's just a waste of breath.

“You are very special, Your Highness,” Belisarius Caul remarked from the side.

He had seen Primarchs who were so kind to their people before. The genetic father of the Salamanders, Lord of the Dragons, Vorkan, was such a kind and benevolent Primarch. However, even Vorkan, in his opinion, was even more kind and self-deprecating than this Prince Shinji Ikari.

Of course, that's only secondary.

The key lies in Shinji Ikari's appearance, his Unit-01, and the Emperor's endorsement of this Primarch by issuing a galaxy-wide announcement. These are what truly make this new Primarch stand out not only from the entire Empire, but also from all previous Primarchs.

"Your Highness Shinji, I am Belisarius Caul, the Great Sage of the Cult of Mechanics. I have something I would like to discuss with you. Do you have the time?"

Before the Mechanicus, the State Church, the Inquisition, and the Astral Army could speak, Kaw was the first to preempt Shinji Ikari's time and attention.

Shinji Ikari paused for a moment, then said, "With me? But I don't know you."

Kaul's prosthetic eye flickered, as he tried to lean closer to whisper something, but was immediately stopped by Titus, Sergeant Sevis, and the other royal guards who arrived. It was only after Shinji Ikari waved his hand, signaling Kaul to come over, that Kaul was able to get close.

He whispered to Shinji Ikari, so softly that only he and Shinji could hear, "You don't know me, but Primarch Robert Guilliman of the Thirteenth Gene knows me. He and I have some... um, I wonder if you know this from the Emperor?"

He was testing the waters.

Although his Destiny Armor is now largely complete, Guilliman's awakening can only begin at the earliest after the Battle of Cardia. If the Primitive Space Marines could be deployed during the Battle of Cardia, it would be a great help to the Imperium.

If Lord Shinji Ikari can grant permission and endorse it, then he has nothing to worry about.

"You and Guilliman?"

Shinji Ikari paused for a moment, feeling somewhat confused, but then he realized, "Wait a moment, I'll get back to you later."

If you're ever unsure what to do, just ask the weasel. After all, the weasel can't possibly be unaware of what happened between Caul and Guilliman!

Chapter 299 Guilliman: Twenty-first brother, were you scared too?

[Don't want to pilot Unit-01]: "I'm here to answer your questions, @EternalYellowskin."

【Eternal Yellow Weasel】: "Here I come!"

【Eternal Yellow Weasel】: "For Caul, just tell him to go for it. Use your current Primarch identity to back it up. If anyone questions it, just have him bring all the people of the will to your side. I'll give you a golden light to show off then."

[Don't want to pilot Unit-01]: "?"

[Don't want to pilot Unit-01]: "Wait, I haven't even said anything yet, and you've already arranged everything perfectly? I haven't even mentioned the name Kaul!"

[I Don't Want to Pilot Unit-01]: "Tell me the truth, have you been spying on me and stalking me all this time?"
