"Don't worry about him. Just prepare to land on Macragge. Chaos has faded, but there are still some rebels and cultists waiting for you to clean up. As for me——"

"I am going to see Guilliman directly."

Without saying anything more, the Khan cut off the communication, wrapped himself in the power of the magnetic field, and rushed towards the land of Macragge like a ray of white lightning.

On Macragge, Guilliman sat heavily back on his throne. A moment ago, he dismissed all his servants and advisors. Even the Honor Guard were ordered to wait outside the sanctuary.

The first steps towards restoration have been taken, and the profane power of Chaos has been driven out of Macragge.

Sporadic resistance forces are no longer a problem... Dozens of Ultramarines' successor regiments trudged through the howling Aether tide, gathering here without fear of danger, just to catch a glimpse of the Primarch.

There was a flood of Nova Marines, Sons of Aurora, Genesis, and countless other Chapters, coming to pledge fealty to the Primarch, along with other pilgrims from across the Imperium - in short, all of these forces came once the problem was solved.

All current problems have been resolved, and Angron was finally appeased by Guilliman... but the problems left for the Sons of Vengeance are no less.

There were four people left in the reception room, Evelyne, Lilith, Fulgrim, and Calgar.

The first three are the "guests" that Guilliman must meet and discuss... As for Calgar, he must stay here to guard the Primarch.

After all, leaving Fulgrim and Guilliman in the same place, even if it was a clone of Fulgrim, Calgar felt a chill on his neck.

This would be a short and private meeting, and Guilliman knew that the Emperor might have reached some kind of cooperation with the Eldar...

But for most people in the Empire, the alliance with the Eldar is still a subversive and serious diplomatic event.

The alliance between Humanity and the Eldar has proven to be a fruitful one for both sides, and the resurrection of Guilliman is a debt that the Ultramarines can never repay.

Despite this, the vast majority of Ultramar's warriors were unwilling to turn their backs to such a group of sinful and brave xenos. But Guilliman was not one of them.

"The road ahead is long and difficult..." said Evelyne. "The stars are becoming dim, Primarch. You have successfully deceived death this time, but your pain and suffering are still lingering. You need adequate treatment."

After leaving the battlefield, it seemed that Eveline no longer had that wanton and crazy attitude, but had returned to her silent self like Ada.

Guilliman remained silent, although he appeared to be very relaxed... but in fact, ever since the Emperor left Guilliman's body, he had always felt the weakness and pain lingering in his body.

The power of an Elsa Rose is only enough to keep Guilliman alive... The Armor of Destiny was not delivered in time due to the time misalignment, leaving Guilliman with only two choices.

Either follow Evelyne to the webway and enter the so-called Ulthuan, or wait for Belisarius Cawl, who is currently in Acheron-8, to come.

Guilliman should choose the latter for safety reasons, but it's not just about constant pain...

Guilliman realizes that traveling to the Eldar capital may be the first step towards humanity actually having a relatively trustworthy ally in the dangers ahead.

"I will always remember this kindness in my heart." Guilliman said solemnly

"But following you to your territory will require some waiting and preparation. I hope you can stay as guests on Macragge for a while longer."

Of course preparations must be made. Guilliman, who has already slept for 10,000 years, does not intend to be forced to sleep for another 10,000 years due to any carelessness!

"Are you scared, big boy?"

Lilith licked her tongue, looking at Guilliman provocatively and seductively... and then looked at the scene between him and Evelyne with a strange and ambiguous look.

Calgar, who was about to explode, was stopped by Guilliman with his eyes... and Evelyne also gave Lilith an unfriendly look to make her shut up.

"Our time is also precious." Evelyne said gently and gracefully.

"It's okay if you are really scared. You can just wait for your great sage. We will only stay here for another week. We also have important things to do."

"Really? Then I wish you good luck in martial arts."

Everenne gave Guilliman a warrior's salute, and the Primarch nodded slightly in farewell to the two Eldar, who turned and walked out of the room with unmoving grace.

"The Eldar Empire..."

Guilliman watched the two mysterious aliens leave and whispered deeply: "I don't think you are so kind..."

After finishing the meeting with Aida, Guilliman immediately turned his attention to Kronfugen in front of him...

His eyes were deep, and contained a kind of weirdness that even Guilliman himself could not explain.

"I……"

110. Emperor: Guilliman, I give you an angel...

"I……"

Knowing that it was his turn, Fulgrim took a step forward and was about to speak... but after all the preparations he had made, they disappeared when he saw the scar on Guilliman's neck.

Speechless, Fugen didn't even know what to say when he opened his mouth.

"Fulgrim, you are not the brother I knew... nor are you the demon who almost killed me."

Looking at the silent Fulgrim, Guilliman's expression relaxed and became much kinder, and he said softly...

Did he hate Fulgrim? Not entirely. At least among those traitors, Fulgrim did not do so out of his own selfishness or willingness.

His betrayal was not voluntary. Just like Horus, he was forced to join Chaos - and in essence, Fulgrim was not a very loyal Primarch to the Empire.

Yes, perhaps in the eyes of many people who don't know the Primarch well, Fulgrim, the Primarch who was awarded the title of the Emperor's Children Legion, should be a die-hard fan of the Emperor... but in fact, Fulgrim's personality and his behavior are highly similar to those of the Khan.

In Fulgrim's eyes, he merely regarded the Emperor as a "boss" worthy of loyalty. He did not regard the Emperor as a father. Perhaps it was due to the culture and education of his home planet Chemos. Fulgrim never had excessive expectations of the Emperor like other Primarchs.

He defected to the Empire simply because the Empire and the Emperor were more in line with his idea of ​​a better ruler. He was very similar to Guilliman in that they were both good at politics, but he did not have Guilliman's idealism.

But Fulgrim was indeed the one who caused the greatest damage to the Primarchs.

Ten thousand years had passed, so what could Guilliman do even if he was resentful? The situation had already been determined, and what he could do, and what he should do most, was to let go of the hatred that was not necessary.

The demon Fulgrim who now surrendered to Chaos was undoubtedly his enemy, and this clone of Fulgrim—

He can be an enemy or a friend.

Guilliman consulted in detail with professionals including the current Chief Librarian of the Ultramarines Tigules and the High Priestess of the Army of Death Evelyne, and combined with Angron's statement, he concluded that this Clone Fulgrim was his incomplete brother.

A part of Fulgrim's soul did remain in this cloned body... but unfortunately, he was not complete, at least compared to the demon Fulgrim, he was just a fragment.

This makes him lack the former glory of the Primarch, and it is also a huge hidden danger and threat.

The demon Fulgrim in the Dark Prince's palace can contact this soul fragment at any time to influence him to a certain extent. He may not be able to control it... but it is very likely that he will make mistakes on some key issues.

Sometimes, if you want to induce a person to betray you don't even need to persuade him to betray you. You just need to give him the wrong information at the wrong time.

So many people, including Evelyne, persuaded Guilliman to kill Kronfulgrim, or at least exile him.

But Guilliman rejected them all.

He made this choice because he held on to a glimmer of hope that perhaps Fulgrim could find a way to return, but he also knew that he could not do anything about Fulgrim.

Angron and he had a good relationship. Although he didn't say it, Guilliman knew that Angron, who had now become a madman, would definitely make up an excuse for Fulgrim and stab him.

Guilliman would do nothing, even to stabilize Angron.

However, this alone would only prevent Guilliman from attacking Fulgrim. He was obviously going to take another route now.

"Fulgen, I welcome your return, although you may not be able to make it public to the Empire... at least for a long time, you will not have any honor to receive." Guilliman said softly.

"It doesn't matter. I just want to complete my due atonement." Fugen whispered.

"I don't care about honor and dignity. A guilty person is not worthy of talking about these things. I just want a chance... a chance to start over."

Having said that, he raised his head and looked at Guilliman, saying seriously...

"Guilliman, I do not want glory, but I want the Eagle flag that once belonged to us to be full of dignity and pride! I need a conscription world, I need to rebuild... the Emperor's Children!"

"It's impossible. The seeds of traitor will never be sown in the empire a second time!"

Calgar stepped forward excitedly and said, there was no respect for this incomplete Primarch in his eyes, only disgust and deep hatred!

Fulgrim lowered his head. He had long been accustomed to being treated this way. Being hated and despised, insulted and scolded, was what a traitor deserved.

"We still have to be wary of you, Fulgrim." Guilliman raised his hand to signal Calgar to step back, and said to Fulgrim without changing his expression...

"You still need to prove yourself. Even though you have saved me from Mortarion once... Let me put it this way, Fulgrim. I can select a group of new soldiers for you to implant with the gene seeds you brought, but in return, you need to show sufficient results."

"what do I need to do?"

"First, accompany me to the capital of the Eldar." Guilliman whispered.

Although Fulgrim was not perfect, the magnetic force he received from Angron was still strong.

Although he was also disabled by Mortarion's poison, he was quite unwilling to accept it...

But at least Guilliman could not defeat Fulgrim before he tried to further destroy this crippled body and start the magnetic field rotation.

As for whether Fulgrim can be trusted, at least compared to the Eldar, Guilliman is more willing to believe him.

"And when I return, perhaps you can rebuild a new Chemos and choose a new world for the Emperor's Children to be reborn... Fulgrim, you will not let us down again, will you?"

"Never." Fugen said softly but firmly.

"The Phoenix will never fall a second time."

Fulgrim stroked the sword at his waist. This would be a chance for rebirth for him and the entire Emperor's Children.

The proud Purple Phoenix has sunk himself into the mire for ten thousand years, but today, he is going to wash away all the dirt again!

"By the way, Guilliman." Fulgrim suddenly spoke

"Although it's a faint feeling, I sense a small fragment of Fulgrim's evil within Macragge's range... I don't know where he's lurking, but you'd better be careful."

"Then you let me find him." Guilliman waved his hand.

Calgar nodded, and knowing what the Primarch meant, he immediately took Fulgrim away.

Looking at the empty hall once again, Guilliman's expression relaxed, his brows furrowed in pain.

These were not the only issues that worried him. There was the plague that had not been completely eradicated in Macragge, a military parade to encourage the people, summoning stronger guards, appeasing and dealing with the inquisitors, and...

Compared with the physical pain, it is obvious that the mental exhaustion makes Guilliman more painful.

He had a premonition that he might not be able to sleep for a long time in the future.

At this moment, a piercing air defense alarm suddenly sounded. Guilliman raised his head abruptly. Just before all the anti-aircraft firepower was activated, a white lightning suddenly jumped across the sky...

It blasted open the magnificent dome of Guilliman's throne room at unimaginable speed and landed in front of Guilliman!

He gripped his weapon tightly at the first moment, but Guilliman slowly relaxed until the lightning retreated.

He looked at the newcomer with some disbelief and said in a deep voice...

"Chagatai... is that you?"

"If there is no one else with this name, then I am right." Khan took off his helmet, stared at his brother whom he had not seen for thousands of years, and said softly...

"Guilliman, seeing you alive is better than anything else."

Guilliman was silent for a long time. He first dismissed a large number of Ultramarines who were coming to defend the king, then stared at his brother for a long time, and exhaled softly...

"Me too, brother..."

Guilliman smiled knowingly, his words were undoubtedly sincere... In this dark age, the return of any brother would make Guilliman feel relieved and happy from the bottom of his heart.

Although he was not completely sure that it was the Khan, Guilliman still felt a common blood flowing in their bodies.

"Don't get me wrong, Guilliman. I said that you are better alive than anyone else - because if you are alive, you can help us deal with the things we least want to do."

Before Guilliman could say anything, the Khan spoke in a very unfamiliar manner.

Of course, compared to the unfamiliar tone, what the Khan said made Guilliman's face darken!

Seeing Guilliman's face darken, the Khan smiled happily. He walked in front of Guilliman and looked at the table full of government documents in amazement...

"Guilliman, you are the only one among all our brothers who is best at handling these things. Of course, Lorgar, Horus, and Fulgrim are also good at it... But you are still the most suitable to do Malcador's work."

"I can't do that. My personality is only suitable for killing people. So please, Guilliman, I'll leave all the High Lords' Council, Imperial affairs, and state religion issues to you! Anyway, your combat ability is just average!"

Guilliman took a few deep breaths to prevent himself from being angered to death by this brother who was known for his bad mouth.

"Are you really Chagatai? Where have you been for the past ten thousand years?!"

"I followed those long ears into the webway, and by the time I got out, ten thousand years had passed." Chagatai Khan shook his head.

"I don't know what you want to ask me, but do you really think that I will have an easy life if I stay in the Empire for ten thousand years? Don't you know why Vulkan wanted to fight the beast in the first place?"

Guilliman did not speak. What Chagatai said was correct. As the Primarch who returned during the Beast War and the last one to appear, their good brother...

The reason why the super nice Salamander Primarch Vorkan went to fight with the beast was probably because he didn't want to take care of the mess of the Empire!

Although the Primarch's fight with the beast was a necessary sacrifice, on the other hand, after witnessing the High Lord's pig-nosed manipulations and what kind of Vorkan the Imperium had been turned into... he obviously restrained his strong desire to beat all the High Lords into a pulp.

Vulkan would not stay, believing that since the Emperor wanted mortals to rule the Imperium...

Not even willing to leave a seat on the High Lords' Council for the Astartes and Primarchs, so let mortals rule the Imperium.

Guilliman understood this idea. It might be the good old man Vulkan's silent expression of dissatisfaction and protest against the Emperor's behavior.
