However, the deepest essence of Guilliman's soul is so consistent with the power of war represented by this Helm of Command, as if the talent for war was born to him, and he was born for war in this life.

Even if Angron, the primarch of Daemon of Khorne, wears the Helm of Dominance, he may not be more suitable than Robert Guilliman...

Looking at the huge giant in front of him, wearing a crimson crown, with black thorns wrapped around his body and holding the blazing Emperor's sword, Magnus realized:

"Guilliman, my brother, you seem to be born for war."

Chapter 320 Son of War

Before Robert Guilliman returned to the Imperium and joined the Emperor's Great Crusade, the 13th Legion was not called the Ultramarines. At that time, they were known as the Children of War.

The earliest Ultramarines were born during the Terra Unification War. At that time, ancient Terra was filled with brutal and violent technological barbarians and self-satisfied separatist warlords, which posed a considerable obstacle to the Emperor's cause of unifying Terra.

Those unreasonably arrogant warlords and bloodthirsty barbarians put up a fierce resistance against the Emperor's army of Thunder Warriors, and were eventually completely wiped out.

The Emperor's army slaughtered the most radical warlords and the rudest barbarians, and the resulting large number of war orphans were taken in by the Emperor and joined the research project of a new generation of genetically modified warriors, which was the earliest 13th Legion, later known as the Ultramarines.

Before Guilliman's return, the 13th Legion had been known for its extremely high intensity of war and devastating violent suppression, and was therefore known as the 'Children of War'. This was a violent legion forged from blood and fire, serving as the emperor's The great cause of the emperor went through fire and water.

Since the Astartes' gene-seed was derived from the Primarch's genetic genes, the Empire generally believed that the Astartes' life style and even personality would be similar to that of their genetic father, because there were many differences before Guilliman's return. It is thought that the Primarch of the Warborne would also have been a war maniac.

Later facts proved that they were wrong. Robert Guilliman grew up in a beautiful family full of warmth and care. His adoptive father and mother gave him all the good qualities. Therefore, when the Emperor's Great Expedition Fleet came to Austria, Tramar, he was greeted by a wise, rational, sober, and easy-going Robert Guilliman.

After Guilliman took over the Legion, he quickly began to transform the 13th Legion with his own ideas. He taught his genetic descendants that in addition to war skills, they should also learn politics, history, philosophy, mathematics and other subjects, and use clear reason to suppress the desire for war. Fury in order to seamlessly transition from warrior to domestic officer running the empire in the peaceful times following the Great Crusade.

Although Guilliman's ideals failed in the end, under his teachings, the originally rough and wild Sons of War began to change. Their war fanaticism was replaced by rational thinking. In the past, the Sons of War of the 13th Legion, who only knew how to suppress brutally, Became a disciplined extreme warrior.

And today, ten thousand years later, when Guilliman put on the Helm of Control and stood up from the throne in the stasis field.

The war frenzy and bloodthirstiness buried deep within the subconscious of the Ultramarines were ignited by the flames of the Emperor's Sword, and the warlike genes of the 13th Legion, which had been dormant for thousands of years, awakened today.

Looking at the Emperor's Sword in Guilliman's hand, Magnus knew that it was time for him to leave.

"There's no need to see me off, Robert, I don't want to see you again." Before the words could be heard, Magnus's fiery red body had already disappeared into the church.

In the center of the church, Guilliman's consciousness was drowsy. The crown on his head seemed to be of great weight. The heavy pressure gave him a splitting headache. War roars and sounds of fighting from unknown sources kept ringing in his ears. It seemed that he was suffering. tinnitus.

Does the original body also have tinnitus?

No, now is not the time to think about this...

The dark thorns wrapped around his helmet and collarbone brought a cold touch, clearing Guilliman's consciousness. He took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and saw Eliwood kneeling at the foot of the steps. With the Ultramarines Honor Guard.

Thousands of years later, the Ultramarines' power armor models have been upgraded many times, but Guilliman still recognized the emblem on their shoulder armor, which was the emblem he personally designed for the 13th Legion.

So Guilliman asked these strange heirs the most pressing question in his heart:

"What year is tonight?"

It is now Year 40 of the 035th Millennium, and the news of Robert Guilliman's return has detonated the entire Ultramar.

After urgently summoning several Ultramarine commanders who had survived the battle to defend Macragge and having a long conversation with them, Guilliman quickly grasped the current situation of the galaxy by relying on the original's otherworldly thinking ability and learning speed. situation.

There is mainly one bad news and one good news.

——The bad news is that during the years he was in coma, the human empire had completely degenerated into what he had tried his best to avoid. Religious superstition and sinful torture had taken root in the empire, and the poison called ignorance had permeated everyone. The bone marrow of a human being.

The era of ideals, pioneering, enterprising and struggle has passed.

The great pursuits that had made Guilliman willing to die were gone.

The human empire is dead, leaving only a rotten, swollen, and smelly corpse that continues to move forward relying on its huge size and inertia, gradually entering decline and destruction.

——The good news is that an ancient immortal named Starbuster has stood up in this era. He has brought mankind the decisive technology to escape subspace navigation: the star gate.

According to Eliwood's report, Guilliman learned that the Starbuster worked with the Emperor's Prophetess to form 13 large expedition fleets to Terra to deliver the Torch of Hope/Stargate construction template to the ancient world of mankind. The mother planet is the only hope for mankind to rise again.

After learning about this, Guilliman was speechless for a long time.

As a master of operations, humanity's most outstanding politician and military strategist, no one understands better than Guilliman what the Stargate means to the human empire.

It's transportation, economy, military, politics... Stable super-light navigation technology is the foundation of everything and the lifeblood of the empire. The appearance of the star bomber and the star gate can be said to be a life-saving hemp rope for the drowning person.

As for whether they can rely on this rope to leave the deep pool and reach the shore safely, it depends on the human empire itself.

After much thought, the excited Guilliman rejected Eliwood's request to hold a primarch return ceremony for him. The Lord of the Ultramarines couldn't wait to confirm the authenticity of the Star Gate.

In the eyes of Guilliman, who is absolutely rational, this matter has a higher priority than anything else.

However, when Guilliman proposed to personally use the stargate of the Konor system to conduct an interstellar voyage, this request was politely rejected by Eliwood.

Looking at the slightly angry Gene Father, Eliwood said with a stiff face: "Father, it's not that I didn't intend to open the Star Gate for you to use, it's just that your current image... is not suitable for public appearance."

"Is there anything wrong with my current image?" Guilliman was confused.

The old sword guard next to him then brought a 5-meter-tall luxurious full-length mirror decorated with golden branch patterns and placed it in front of Guilliman.

Looking in the mirror, Guilliman understood why Eliwood had advised him not to appear in public.

The sky blue armor on his body had become mottled, and the dark blue armor was covered with black scars. The dark and cold thorns were wrapped around his collarbone and neck like poisonous snakes. The dark red helmet with two long curved horns on his head looked even more terrifying and hideous.

It was as if the person standing in front of the mirror was not a Primarch created by the Emperor of Mankind, but a bloodthirsty demon blessed by Khorne.

"If you appear in public in front of the citizens of the empire like this, the Inquisition and the National Church will probably regard you as a heretic and evil creature contaminated by Chaos." Eliwood said in a low voice.

"Any mortal who dares to disrespect me will be killed," Guilliman said.

As soon as he said this, Guilliman raised his head in great shock and looked at himself in the mirror as if facing a great enemy.

Chapter 321 Belisarius Caul

Chapter 321 Belisarius Caul

North of the Eye of Terror, the shadow-shrouded Klenna sector is particularly busy.

Unlike other Imperial sectors in the galaxy that are bathed in the light of the Star Torch, the Keranna Sector has always been shrouded in the shadow of the warp. The open Eye of Terror is like a mountain blocking the space between the Keranna Sector and the Sun Sector. , obscured Terra's light, making it difficult for navigators in the Keranna sector to capture the Star Torch's navigation beacon.

Therefore, subspace navigation within the Kerenna Sector has always been a dangerous thing, and this resource-rich star cluster has never been able to show a scene as prosperous as the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar.

After the Stargate network was built, the rich resources of the Krenna sector finally found a sales channel. Merchant ships came and went in an endless stream, planets storing precious mineral veins were discovered one after another, and a steady stream of wealth began to pour in. The Adeptus Apostolicus and the Adeptus Mechanicus both spent lavishly here.

Various magnificent star ports, shipyards, and planet-level mining facilities have sprung up from the ground. In addition, the returned original body of the Dark Angels also led the battle group to be stationed here. For a time, there was a ship jam at the star gate of the Star. It is a grand event that lasts for 8 days every week.

In the core galaxy of the Klenna Sector, the prosperous capital planet Klentarina, the war fortress symbolizing the will of the original body, and the megalithic monastery of the Dark Angels are parked in orbit.

The Stone Fortress was bustling with people, as mortal spies and intelligence agents belonging to the Dark Angels organization hurriedly delivered information from Dark Angels Chapters across the galaxy.

Among the mortal intelligence personnel traveling through the Stone Fortress, there is a figure that does not fit in.

An extraordinarily tall red-robed sage walked in the wide corridor of the fortress. The over-modified and deformed mechanical body was bloated like a fully armed main battle tank. The mechanical arm with its claws and fangs resembled a wolf spider, and it emitted sounds with every step. The sound of creaking gears turning.

There is almost no trace of humanity left on this high-level sage's body, but a small piece of human organic flesh and skin is still left on the face of the flesh-clad mechanical monster, and an excited smile is hanging on the remaining face.

The two Dark Angel sergeants following the sage looked a little disgusted.

Because this great sage from the Adeptus Mechanicus is named ‘Belisarius Caul’, he entered the Stone Fortress to dismantle and study Lion Lion’s ‘Baptizer’ mobile armor.

The Dark Angels did not welcome him very much, but the Gene Father had agreed, and they had no choice but to carry out the order.

Call walked in front of the two Dark Angel sergeants, feeling happy.

"I have exchanged research on 'living metal' with the monks of the Order of Truth before, and I have benefited a lot. It is said that Ryan's armor was also made by the Star Bomber. If I can study the Baptist in detail, maybe I can There have been breakthroughs in other aspects." A personality process said excitedly in the background of Kaur's mind.

"Ryan once fought against Fulgrim in the Stone Fortress. According to our understanding, the Baptist armor that Ryan wore at the time played an important role in his defeat of Fulgrim." Another personality said.

"It is said that the shell of the Baptist is made of a material called 'zero element' that is stronger than adamantine, and the armor skeleton is the spirit bone of the Eldar. The Star Bomber is different from the pedantic conservatives of Mars , while he masters human golden technology, he also doesn’t mind researching and adopting alien advanced technology. This person can cooperate..."

"If I can learn the production method of zero-element materials, I may be able to achieve new breakthroughs in the production of the 'Armor of Destiny', and the agreement between me and the original body of the Ultramarines ten thousand years ago can also be better fulfilled..." "

Each personality was talking in Cole's mind. Each personality had different ideas and opinions. Multiple thinking processes could greatly improve Cole's efficiency when conducting academic research, but at this moment it seemed a bit too noisy.

Caul's own personality, the leader of all thought processes, ignored the noise in the background. He firmly manipulated his heavy mechanical body through the corridor of the fortress and came to the sealing room where the armor of the primarch was displayed.

The great sage of the Adeptus Mechanicus, Belisarius Cawl, was chosen by the Emperor thousands of years ago and accepted the great mission given by the Lord of Mankind.

Caul made an agreement with Robert Guilliman during the Great Purge after the Horus Heresy:

Guilliman had a premonition of the empire's decline, and he asked Caul to do his best to further improve and strengthen the Astartes and develop a new generation of genetically modified soldiers that were taller, faster, stronger, smarter, and more loyal. To this end, Guilliman handed him the artifact 'Original Blood Stack' that recorded the complete genetic genes of all 21 Primarchs.

Guilliman had a premonition of his own death, and he asked Caul to try to build a device that could save him if something happened to him, so as to save the situation. For this reason, Caul carefully crafted a powerful armor called the 'Armor of Destiny' for Guilliman, and actively exchanged academic knowledge with the Order of Truth, constantly acquiring new technologies to further optimize this armor.

Now, Call has his sights set on Lion King's Baptist armor.

But when he walked into the Fengyi Room excitedly, the display shelves inside were empty.

"What's going on?" The servo skull next to Caul turned his head, and a red light flashed in his empty red eyes: "Tell me, Dark Angel, where is the research subject I requested?"

The two sergeants were also very surprised by this. According to the agreement between Lion King and Caul, he should have taken off his Baptist armor by now and stayed in the fortress to read the intelligence collected by the intelligence department about the Eye of Terror's unbreakable defense line.

At this time, a mortal major came out from the sealed room and said to the three people at the door: "Lord Kaul, Lord Ryan asked me to bring his words to you. The primarch is very sorry to break the agreement with you, but the incident happened suddenly, and he could only leave in a hurry wearing full armor."

There was no expression on Kawl's face. The mechanical tentacles on the back of the Great Sage squirmed. He lowered his head slightly and looked at the mortal who was entrusted by the Lion King. "What kind of important matter is it that made the Primarch go there with armor even though he broke his promise to me?"

Under the gaze of the great sage, the mortal officer trembled, and he said in an unsteady voice: "We have just received, received urgent news from Ultramar...the original body of the Ultramarines, who has been sleeping for thousands of years. The Emperor's Son, Robert Guilliman, awakens today."

Ryan was in a hurry to meet his brother.

The new primarch has returned, the Ultramarines have awakened their ancient genetic father, and Ultramar is about to unite under Guilliman's call to fight against the threat of the ethereal worms.

Kaur was stunned, and the countless personality thoughts that were arguing endlessly in his subconscious were all silent at this moment, and he uttered an unprecedented and incomparably unified sound:

"what?"

Chapter 322 The confession of the original body

After confirming the authenticity of Guilliman's return through multiple channels, Caul realized that he could no longer stay in the Kerenna Sector.

"I must go to Ultramar immediately."

The countless personalities in Belisarius Cawl's mind quickly reached a consensus. He used his connections as a great sage to force his way past the large number of ships lined up at the port of Pluto, cut in line and pass through the star gate ahead of time, and arrived at Ultramar's temporary capital: Connor Star, on the sage's mechanical ark.

As a forge world, Konor was originally home to a large number of Adeptus Mechanicus Skitarii, and after being designated as the temporary capital of Ultramar, it was even more heavily guarded. In the planet's orbit, a large number of naval fleets gathered from all over the Ultramar star field were parked, covering the starry sky with black. A large number of army armed forces gathered here, turning this forge world named after the Primarch's father, King Konor, into an indestructible fortress.

The Dark Angel's flagship 'Unyielding Truth' was docked above the administrative center of Connaught, and Lane arrived here earlier than Caul.

While being checked to verify his identity and obtain permission documents to land on the planet's surface, Caul noticed:

A large number of marching people gathered on the surface of Star Connaught. The fanatical marching phalanx was clearly visible even in orbit, showing the scale of its people, as if the entire planet's population was gathered in one place.

Kaul asked the scribe who was handwriting a landing permit for him: "The scale of the gathering on the planet seems to be particularly grand. What kind of large-scale social activities are the people of Connaught holding? Are they celebrating the return of the original body?"

"No, sage. As the clerk stamped Cawl's landing permit, he said, "The Primarch's confession ceremony is being held on the planet. Master Guilliman will publicly confess his sins in front of the people of Ultramar today."
