Warhammer 40: My Fiancée Fulgrim

He will spend time healing this land.

The new "Imperial Truth" was used to educate the people, teaching them to rely on their own strength and to view the world through scientific and rational thinking.

Instead of viewing it with ignorance and fear.

The Emperor was never an absolutely ruthless person, as can be seen from his fondness for Vulcan and Corax.

He believed he could build a better world for humanity, where people would no longer be slaves toiling away in harsh living conditions.

Rather, it is to truly become human.

He believed he could avoid repeating the same mistakes and that humanity would move towards a more perfect and better tomorrow.

Then, when the time is right, and everyone has enough energy and will, they will extend a helping hand to the human homeland beyond the Milky Way, to their fellow human beings who are suffering.

Step by step, we will restore the glory of the human empire from its golden age!

Although the progress may be slightly slower, time is the least valuable thing when it comes to ensuring people's safety and well-being.

Otherwise, how would he, with his militaristic and warlike ways, be any different from those technologically barbaric warlords?

Just as he had waged unification wars for hundreds of years, he had plenty of time to consolidate his gains and develop steadily.

As an immortal being, the Emperor has always been an extremely cautious individual.

"But friends"

"You can't do it. Neither can I."

"Your warriors, how do those modified superhumans view ordinary people?"

"My friend, you know this far better than I do."

The emperor remained silent.

He knew that what the other person said was correct.

The Thunder Warriors sacrificed everything for unification, but what happened after unification?

Reports from across Terra suggest they are indulging in a sense of superiority, viewing others as inferior servants.

There are not many people who are truly willing to give everything for a greater dream.

In this world, most people are just ordinary people.

They enjoy pleasure and abhor fighting and hardship.

Everyone is like that.

If they stagnate on Holy Terra, they will quickly decay and degenerate, abandoning their kin beyond the galaxy.

Like the technological warlords who once ruled Holy Terra, they once again embarked on a path of oppressing mortals.

Do not!

This will not happen!

"As long as I'm still here"

"It's still there."

Looking at you now, he swallowed the rest of his words.

Repeating past mistakes is never just an empty threat.

It serves as a cautionary tale for countless predecessors and a source of sorrow for countless successors.

As an immortal being who had witnessed countless rises and falls of human emperors, he had long known this.

What can destroy us is never a powerful enemy.

It is ourselves.

It has always been ourselves.

Don't repeat my mistakes. Keep moving forward into the distance.

You don't have much time. You must hurry.

At this final moment, you revealed a secret to him.

"What!?"

On that very day, he received extremely terrible news.

This foreshadowing was enough to jolt him from his dream of unification and plunge him into an endless nightmare.

Soon, the Eldar Empire will implode.

The center where they are located will become a conduit connecting the real world with the highest heavens.

That connection channel that he had once sealed away with his own hands.

In the legends of the Eldar, it was Asuyan who severed the connection between the High Heavens and the Eldar in order to stop Kane from massacring them.

Only he himself knew the true identity of the legendary guy named Kane.

They are about to break through the ground.

In the future, without suppression, countless demons will invade the world through this channel, just as the web connecting the real world and the warp has been shattered.

An endless stream of demonic creatures will use this as a pretext to wreak havoc in the real world.

The future holds only darkness.

What should I do?

"You didn't come here just to tell me the cause of my future death, did you?"

"of course not."

The weak voice continued.

"You need to continue."

That is the golden throne located on the highest peak of Holy Terra.

"They will fall into a state of weakness for a long time in order to get rid of me."

During this most crucial and critical period, he must take over the Phoenix King's mission.

Ignite the golden throne, ignite himself.

"[Burning] Burn everything you have to suppress them. Suppress their final counterattack forever; this is the last chance."

The Great Expedition must be carried out as soon as possible.

Right now.

Sweep away all chaotic beliefs in the Milky Way, cut off all channels that can transport faith power to them, and let these things perish naturally because they cannot obtain sustenance.

This is the only, and last, chance to resolve their issue.

You must seize this opportunity.

"And this is the last gift I'll give you."

As the last words fell, the tattered soul vanished without a trace.

In these final moments.

You heard a cry.

Back to the present.

Tianlongxing District.

The Vengeful Spirit.

Horus' flagship, originally intended to explore the Ulanno sector, discovers during a warp jump that the Draco sector is under threat from powerful orc aliens.

This sector is ravaged by the Orcish Empire: they invade various worlds in the sector by sending artillery and Orcish lads into the air via an asteroid called "Goron," which is located outside the star systems.

Bathed in the light of a bloated red sun, the length of day and night and the magnitude of gravity on Goron are constantly changing, and the planet itself does not have a fixed orbit.

Using this as a base for invasion, just like all orc empires, a powerful orc warlord led countless mindless orc lads to ravage one human world after another.

However, "big and green" doesn't seem to be enough to describe the destruction caused by this orcish empire.

The galaxy is now filled with worlds overrun by orcs. If they are allowed to use spores to take over these worlds and continue to develop, the future threat will only grow larger and more difficult to deal with.

The situation in the Tianlong Star Region is so dire that we have to halt our advance into the Wulano Star Region and address the immediate crisis there first.

Horus consulted the Emperor about whether he should continue the operation or wait for more support from his brother legions.

The Emperor's reply was very concise.

Let them deal with the Orc Empire in the Tianlong Star Region first, so that they can gain some experience in dealing with these troublesome aliens.

He arrived quickly.

The Emperor is coming soon!

Fight alongside Horus!

This made Horus feel extremely honored and overjoyed.

at last!

After waiting for so long, Shadowmoon Wolf has conquered so many stars in the Great Crusade, and finally the moment has come when he can fight alongside the Emperor!

"Ha ha."

Emperor!

Horus was in high spirits.

"Reporting to Lord Shepherd Wolf! Lord Shepherd Wolf, can you hear me?!"

But this moment of excitement was quickly interrupted by a call from the communication channel.

"I'm here. What is it?"

"A mysterious Space Marine has boarded our warship!"

"He's defeating our Terminator guards in front of the corridor; we can't stop him."

He said he wanted to see you.

The next moment, the surveillance video recording from the Vengeful Spirit appeared on the device in front of Horus:

It was a warrior clad in cyan-blue power armor, incredibly fast, bald, wielding a spear that resembled an alien weapon, swiftly striking down any Gastrin Terminator veterans who dared to block his way.

The opponent was tall and imposing; judging from his fighting style and armor, he did not appear to be an ordinary Space Marine.

"Understood. Tell both sides to stop fighting. I'll be there soon."

A few minutes later.

"I am Alphareis."

"The Lord of the Twentieth Legion".

As Horus entered the conference room, before he could even ask questions about the man's background and behavior, the man offered to explain.

“I’ve never heard of this name before, but it seems you know us much better than I do about you.”

"Yes."

Alpharis declined to answer many of Horus's questions.

They even remain silent about their origins and the history of their home planet.

Judging from the situation, Alpharis seems to have returned to the Empire without Horus's knowledge, and he has already taken command of his own legions; this is merely his first official appearance.

The Twentieth Legion was extremely mysterious, and Horus often did not even know where it was.

When exactly did he return?

And why did he choose this moment to come to his Vengeance Soul to meet him?

Horus looked at his confident and mysterious Primarch brother, his mind filled with doubts.

He claims to be AlphaReis, but is he truly AlphaReis?

Or is it that what he sees in front of him is not the real person, but some kind of disguise that is extremely similar to him?

I don't understand.
