Warhammer 40k, but I’m really not an angelic father!

But there is no sympathy or forgiveness.

Abaddon doesn't deserve forgiveness now.

Loken, as the Cursed Astartes, pulled a mirror coin from his waist and threw it at Abaddon's feet.

It was not until this moment that Abaddon discovered that the number of mirror coins on Loken's waist was the same as the number of mirror coins he had placed in the storage box.

And now, the mirror coin thrown by Loken corresponds to the one Horus gave him.

Abaddon squatted down and carefully picked up the flaming mirror coin.

The mirror coin was so hot that it almost burned his palm through the power armor, but Abaddon did not let go.

"Go away as a nameless person to atone for your miserable life. All the glory you once held belonging to the Luna Wolves has been confiscated. As you journey to cleanse your sins, these glories will be returned to you bit by bit."

"Not until you have cleansed all your sins will you be worthy enough to return to the Empire as the Luna Wolf."

"Now let's go and defend Baal first."

Chapter 74 Thorpe: You guys are making trouble for me.

Abaddon and Kalaran left on the Mechanicus fleet, but before leaving, they still left a group of available forces to Sandales.

Among them is the psychic think tank named Thorpe.

They boarded the ancient Eldar cruiser and watched from space as a purple barrage erupted from the Eye of Terror.

The Blackrock Fortress, located directly inside the Eye of Terror, did not need to worry about energy loss, and Erebus did not care at all about how much damage this bombardment would cause to the Blackrock Fortress's weapons, and directly forced his Word Bearers to fire the main gun.

All the Imperial ships floating in space saw the bombardment that penetrated the Cadia system and shot out from the Eye of Terror, directly hitting the Black Stone Obelisk array that had been activated in Cadia.

Although the Blackstone Fortress was a weapon built by the Eldar god of artifice, Vaul, to focus and amplify the energy of the Warp, the Blackstone Obelisk's isolating properties remain in effect.

Therefore, the enhanced artillery bombardment released by the Blackstone Fortress did hit the main body of the Blackstone Obelisk array, but the power of the artillery bombardment that could directly destroy a planet was greatly weakened by the effect of the Blackstone Obelisk itself.

So it only created a huge crater on Cadia, but did not destroy the planet itself.

"The Blackstone Obelisk on Cadia is doomed, but fortunately Cadia is still there."

Cadia did not explode completely, so the Eye of Terror only partially erupted at this moment, but the surging warp energy still instantly poured into the real universe.

At this moment, the balance between the two worlds was finally broken, but the scale did not completely tilt towards the subspace. There were still several weights on the tray representing the real universe.

At this moment, Sandiles immediately felt that the sea of soul in his body became several times clearer, and his ability to perceive those active souls was constantly rising like a rocket.

Even in his eyes, the brilliance of the living saint Celestine beside him, which came from the Emperor, became more dazzling at this moment.

No one knows what the outbreak of the Eye of Terror means for the Empire yet. They can only pray that the impact will pass quickly and mobilize supplies in the shortest possible time to rebuild the Blackstone Obelisk array on Cadia.

Kaul handed over the use of black stone and the construction method to a great sage who came from the Agrippina forge world, and explained the precautions in detail under the other party's gaze as if he were his reincarnated parents.

He didn't have that much time to rebuild the Blackstone Obelisk Array in Cadia. Roboute Guilliman, who was sitting on Macragge, was still waiting for him to wake him up.

Cadia has been severely damaged and cannot be repaired, so it can only be rebuilt later.

Therefore, there must be no mistakes in the operation to awaken Robert Guilliman, otherwise it will not be just a matter of time.

In short, the longer you delay, the more uncontrollable changes will occur.

Sandiles and his companions, along with some of the remaining Blood Angels, strolled through the corridors of the Eldar cruiser, heading towards the main control room where Curze was.

For them, this was the first time they had boarded a complete and functioning Eldar ship.

"The creations of the Eldar are indeed ancient. Whether it's the technology or the various design concepts used within them, they are beyond the Mechanicus's current comprehension."

"If anyone else saw this ship, they would probably immediately dismantle it for research or learn how to control some of its equipment."

"I am truly increasingly curious about the Emperor's knowledge of how to operate such a vessel."

Cawl was now like a visitor entering a palace of treasures, looking around at all the structures inside the Eldar ship, whether it was every texture or its different materials.

This thing called spirit bone is so rare that even black stone is more common than it.

All the spirit bones currently collected by the Empire basically come from the Eldar ships destroyed by the Imperial Navy.

Moreover, he had never been able to study a complete spirit bone circuit so closely and carefully. This design was like laying the keel when humans built ships in ancient times.

It carries the most core part of the entire ship, but also provides auxiliary support for other structures of the ship.

The instruments on his body could detect a strange conscious energy flowing within him. If he had to find a suitable word to describe it, it would probably be the "machine soul."

However, compared to the Machine Soul of the Mechanicus, the consciousness in the ship's spirit bone circuit appears to be more spiritual and vivid.

And I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I always feel that their main flow is gradually converging to where Sandales is, as if Sandales is a perfect work of art to them.

It really puzzles me. It is another difficult problem that may take decades or even longer to solve.

Sandiles ignored the sudden desire to research that erupted from Kohl behind him. To him, this ship was not something he cared about.

All he really cared about were the two figures looking at him and the weapons in their hands when the ship was in stealth mode.

The power of another god flows within those two blades.

Although still somewhat weak compared to the current Emperor, it must be admitted that the other party is gradually awakening in the Supreme Heaven.

If a certain god of the Eldar really awakens, it would not be a good thing for humans. There are irreconcilable contradictions between humans and the Eldar.

These guys always appear mysteriously at the edge of the battlefield, silently monitoring the progress of the battle, and rush into the battlefield when they think the time is right, and strike swiftly at both sides of the war.

Humans have suffered many losses at the hands of these aliens.

Ever since the Great Devourer's Zerg entered the Milky Way, the Eldar have been deliberately leading the Zerg to planets with more human life activities to prevent the Zerg from finding the Eldar's Craft World.

There can be no slackness or relaxation in dealing with these guys.

"Father, why do you think those aliens came to us?"

Although Sandiles ordered Kalaran to bring back to Baal the vast majority of the Blood Angels who survived the battle.

But this father-loving company commander still left a group of veterans with considerable combat effectiveness for Sandales, and even left a twelve-man Terminator squad and a dreadnought mecha in the company to Sandales.

If I need to put it simply, this team can completely suppress any planet where cult riots are currently occurring, and the losses will not be too great.

Of course, the premise is that the enemy cannot have combat units that exceed the standard.

Sandiles was very familiar with the Blood Angel who asked this question, because the other party was Thorpe who had been chasing Kararan on Cadia.

The veteran who played a significant role in the fight against Karajan was still able to stay with Sandales.

This honor made the other Blood Angels so envious that they almost bit their back teeth to pieces.

"These Eldar guys are not simply looking for us, or it is impossible that the Eldar have finding us as their ultimate goal."

"Among the Warp Gods, there is one that specifically targets the Eldar. Currently, their race is weak and they cannot directly face the increasingly fierce Warp offensive."

As Sandales walked towards the ship's main control room, he explained the true intentions of these Eldar to his children beside him.

These Eldar guys will never offer help to humans just because they want to cooperate with them. In all the battlefields where humans have cooperated with the Eldar, eight out of ten cases were stabbed in the back by the Eldar in the end.

The Eldar would not hesitate to launch the most deadly attack on the human line at the end of the battle, and they never put themselves on the same side as the humans from beginning to end.

The arrogance and conceit that runs in their bones and blood makes them place themselves on a higher racial level than humans. They despise the young human race and intend to use humans as consumables to delay the war.

"The Eldar need a shield, a massive shield that can directly block the main attack of the Warp for them."

"And in their eyes, the Human Empire, with its vast size but no time to actively cause trouble for them, is the perfect choice to serve as a shield."

The Blood Angels' power armor made a dull sound as it clattered through the ship's corridors, but even duller than the sound of their footsteps was the sound of their hearts.

Sandiles' explanation made the Blood Angels, who were already wary of the aliens, even more resolute, and now their views and attitudes towards these aliens have dropped to below freezing point.

If these aliens come for the purpose of cooperating with the human empire, then it is not impossible to talk to them.

But what if these aliens intend to use humans and then stab them in the back?

Sorry, don't blame them for stabbing the elves first.

It's all for the survival of the race, so no one should blame anyone else.

The main control room of this Eldar cruiser was actually not far from the window where Sandales and his companions boarded the ship.

The souls in the bone circuit under their feet were constantly guiding Sandiles to the location of the main control room, so they did not need extra people to lead them.

Originally, Sandelles thought he would have to walk for a while, but after seeing a few familiar figures, he realized that the main control room was right in front of him.

The people standing guarding the gate outside the main control room are very special. They are several Black Armored Guards wearing blue-black Iron Cavalry-type Terminator power armor. Moreover, these old-style power armors are equipped with some accessories that even the current Terminator power armors are reluctant to use.

If there was nothing wrong with his eyes and the memories of the two Primarchs, then these Black Guards' power armor should be equipped with a plasma shield.

The best proof was the special buzzing sound in my ears when I approached them.

Because the plasma shields sensed something approaching them, they actively increased their defense power, which caused the operating noise to increase significantly.

These guys are old monsters from the Horus Heresy era.

Maybe he is one of the few guys in the Night Lords Legion who has followed Curze around the world from the beginning to the end.

"Father, can we challenge them? These guys are defying us."

The team of Terminator veterans that Kararan had left in Sandales asked him questions because they saw the guys' helmets shake slightly twice when they approached.

These warriors, born in the middle or late 30th millennium, did not recognize the honor guards of the Traitor Legions.

Because as the Horus Heresy was gradually put down, the deeds of the nine legions that chose to betray were all erased in the Empire.

Including their honor, identity, and even the existence of their legion itself.

Only the founding groups and sub-groups born in different founding periods such as the Second Founding or the Cursed Founding know part of the stories of those rebel legions.

Of course, that's only part of the story.

For example, the Ultramarines would know of the Word Bearers' sneak attack on Calth, and the Space Wolves would remember the Legion's past performance of the Burning of Prospero on the Thousand Sons' homeworld.

Apart from this, there are very few records of the rebel legions in other departments of the empire.

Judging roughly, apart from the top-secret sealed archives of the Inquisition and the Assassins' Court, only the Ptolemaic Library in Macragge still retains a relatively comprehensive collection of documents from the Heresy period.

Of course, the Ptolemaic Library also preserves content about the Second Empire that must never be known to outsiders.

"You can't defeat them. These guys are old monsters from ten thousand years ago. Even with a conservative estimate, they are a veteran guard that has survived since the Great Crusade."

"Even so, Father, we must still challenge them. These vile fellows are defying the dignity of the Blood Angels."

The Blood Angels' Terminator Squad hated these black-armored guards very much.

They couldn't explain why they hated these guys so much, but there was always an inexplicable disgust in their hearts that affected their first impression of the black-armored guards in front of them.

If one had to put it bluntly, these Black Armored Guards gave them the same feeling as the worst criminals in Terra Prison.

Those who don't care about anything and just spread fear for the sake of smooth operation have no honor at all.

"Your dignity has nothing to do with you. Your current pursuit of honor and the glorious image of sacrifice all depend on your good father."

"That great god has spent countless years teaching you bit by bit, so that you can understand the character and qualities that a glorious warrior should possess."

"If it weren't for the Archangel who poured so much effort into you, how could you, once known as 'ghouls,' be associated with the words 'holy blood' and 'angels'? Your elders from ten thousand years ago were even worse than us."

The Blood Angels' obviously hostile attitude immediately provoked a fierce counterattack from the Black Guards, who directly criticized the Blood Angels' terrifying image, which was comparable to that of a ghoul, before Sanguinius' return.

Whether it was the Great Library of Terra or the Angel Castle Library in Baal, they almost deliberately glorified these loyal legions and destroyed all past records.

This includes the Blood Angels Legion, which was once called the Ghouls by their cousins.

"Slander, lie, I demand a duel with you immediately!"

This direct attack on the Blood Angels' image had very serious consequences.

The Blood Angels and the Black Guards confronted each other almost immediately, and with Sandales raising his hand to stop them and Koz's slightly angry roar, both sides reluctantly laid down their weapons.

In fact, the moment the Blood Angels drew their weapons, Sandiles keenly sensed the presence of other Black Armored Guards in the shadows.

Their souls, as cold as underground springs, were very easy to identify. Even in the Eldar's ship, where soul activity was extremely frequent, he could easily find their location.

Sandiles was indeed somewhat concerned about the verbal attacks used by the Black Armored Guards, but what concerned him even more was that the actual period in which these Black Armored Guards were living might be earlier than he expected.

While reviewing the memories of Sanguinius and Horus, he discovered that Sanguinius returned to the Imperium in 30 of the 843th Millennium, while Curze returned in 30 of the 896th Millennium.

Perhaps at first glance, the difference between these two times does not seem to have much significance, but if it is applied to these black-armored guards, it is a different story.

Judging from their identity as Black Armor Guards, they may have come from Terra, or from Nastramu where Koz was later.

And if they were born on Nostramo, then they would not know the Blood Angels' former nickname of Ghouls.

Because before Curze of Nastramo returned, Sanguinius had already taken the Blood Angels away for education.
