Chapter 379 Do You Really Think the Emperor Needs Protection?
[Item name: Siegfried's Medicine]
[Origin: Earth in the 22nd Century - Future Department Store]
[Production time: 271.M3]
[Function: This item is based on the legend of the legendary hero Siegfried who bathed in dragon blood and remained immortal. After bathing in the blood-like drug in the bottle, the skin will turn blood red and within 30 minutes, the person will become immortal, with only a small leaf-shaped vital point on the back.]
[Value: 89]
Zhou Yun sprinkled this prop based on the hero Siegfried in "The Song of the Nibelungs" on himself and the two Primarchs.

During this half hour, the three of them will not be harmed in any form, will not be subjected to pain or mental control, and will be almost absolutely immortal.

In order to make up for the fact that the potion only took half an hour to work, they also used the crazy opportunity to slow down each other's time, making their own time flow slower.
Then use the acceleration gear and high-efficiency pills to speed up your actions, making your movement speed the same as usual.
Finally, use the rebound cloak to firmly cover the only weak spot on the back.
In this way, they can gain long-term immortality without affecting their own actions, and can also avoid the weaknesses behind them.

They were certainly not worried about the Custodes. Even if the entire Custodes were here, they could not harm Guilliman, Sanguinius, and Zhou Yun.

After all, the Imperial Guards were all wearing golden armor, and the machine souls in them were ancient and powerful, and they could not resist Zhou Yun's control over the machine souls.
What Zhou Yun and the two Primarchs are really worried about is the Emperor himself.

Both Zhou Yun and Sanguinius noticed that the Emperor's mental state seemed to be not very good, as if he was suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
Even if the Emperor is in an abnormal mental state, he is still the second-best of the four great liars in the Milky Way. He is the kind of person who lacks credibility in both reality and the subspace.
Zhou Yun trusted him. Even Guilliman and Sanguinius did not trust him that much. After all, the two Primarchs had been fooled by the Emperor.

On the contrary, Zhou Yun was puzzled by the guards' vigilance against him and the two Primarchs.
As soon as he walked out of the Anywhere Door, Zhou Yun sensed the suspicion in the eyes of the Imperial Guards.
Following the principle that it is better to blame others than to be blamed by others, Zhou Yun directly condemned the imperial guards for being suspicious of loyal officials and for doing nothing for ten thousand years.

However, the Custodians are indeed one of the most perfect creations of the Emperor. They have been tempered physically and mentally.

Even though their minds had become dull after living in a dead house for ten thousand years, they still maintained the most basic calmness under Zhou Yun’s condemnation.

"We have protected the Emperor of Mankind for ten thousand years during the Heresy!"

Before Zhou Yun could finish praising the Imperial Guards in his heart, an angry roar came from behind the Imperial Guards commander Trajan.

"I would rather you protect the Emperor of Humanity during the great rebellion ten thousand years ago." Zhou Yun shouted back almost without hesitation.

There was silence behind Trajan, and then a harsh scolding sounded.
A royal guard wearing adamantium power armor and holding a double eagle shield stepped out from behind Trajan, holding a power spear and trying to rush towards Zhou Yun who was insulting the honor of the royal guard.

"Coken! Maldova Coken!" The commander of the imperial guards, Trajan, roared, trying to stop the imperial guard named Coken.
But
Bang!
Kirken wrestled on the ground, and his corn-like pointed helmet came into close contact with the ground of the palace.

Zhou Yun calmly withdrew the finger he had just extended.
He deprived the Custodian Kirken of the power armor on his left leg, causing him to lose balance.

Kirken dragged his powerless left leg and struggled to get up from the ground.

But before he could rush forward to defend the honor of the Praetorian Guard with his sword, Trajan stopped him.

"Although Kirken is irritable, what he says is not without reason."

Trajan's face, which showed traces of time, looked at Zhou Yun and said calmly:

"Your accusation is groundless. The Custodians have never been part of the Empire, and the Custodians' duties have never included protecting the Empire."

"We only serve the Emperor. We failed ten thousand years ago. That is why we have been more diligent in protecting the Emperor for the past ten thousand years."

Let's not talk about whether the emperor ten thousand years ago needed the protection of the imperial guards.
"The Emperor doesn't need your protection now."

Zhou Yun pointed out this fact sincerely.

This is what Zhou Yun finds most puzzling.
Does the current emperor really still need the protection of the Imperial Guards?

As long as the Chaos Gods show the slightest flaw, the golden giant will dare to set fire to the Garden of Nurgle, use the Six Rings of Slaanesh to crack down on prostitution, set up a stick in the Brass Fortress, and install a lie detector in the Crystal Labyrinth.
With a set of Six Flavors Emperor Fist, the old man could even make the four vendors unable to sleep at night due to the pain.

And the Imperial Guards actually thought that such a being needed their protection? Even if the entire Imperial Guards were added together, they would still be far less powerful than the current Emperor.

What's more, if the half-dead emperor sitting on the golden throne died, Zhou Yun guaranteed that those guys in the warp would be more anxious than the imperial guards.
The Emperor is a true immortal from the beginning to the end. He will not die, and even if he does die, he will eventually recover.
But the danger is that if the current emperor dies, the one who is resurrected will definitely not be the original emperor, but will directly complete the upgrade and become the real destroyer.
This is an ending that neither the Emperor nor the Chaos Gods want to see, or rather, an ending that no one with a normal brain in the entire galaxy wants to see.

However, the Imperial Guards seemed to be unaware of this. After all, when the Emperor designed the Imperial Guards, he did not give them even one percent or even one base of psychic power.

"For ten thousand years, He protected millions of human worlds and the souls of all uncorrupted humans from the hands of Chaos Gods and aliens - although the protection was not good - but you actually think that you can protect Him with less than ten thousand people?"

Zhou Yun waved his hand helplessly and said:
"Sir Trajan, your protection and suspicion are meaningless. Let us go to the throne room."

"Believe me, this is the Emperor's vision, and He needs us." After Zhou Yun pointed this out, the Imperial Guards became obviously more anxious. If Trajan hadn't suppressed them, this group of golden corn people would probably have rushed up and tried to tear Zhou Yun apart.

"What my dear friend said was not pleasant to hear, but it was true."

"My father is far more powerful than you can imagine. He is even more powerful than he was ten thousand years ago."

Sanguinius spoke softly:
"He is the king of the ages, like a god. His physical body is badly damaged, but he is still a god, so powerful that he cannot be any stronger."

"He may also be another existence that is more terrifying than anything you know. I don't want to mention that name here because I am afraid of being cursed myself."

"The Custodians once witnessed the power that name represents on the Spirit of Vengeance. It was like the power of a dark, cold sun. Today, that power still exists and is even more powerful than before."

If Zhou Yun's words angered the Imperial Guards and even caused irrational cracks in their well-trained minds,

Then the words of Sanguinius made the hearts of the Guards tremble, and his gentle words were contagious, making people believe.

But this was all within Zhou Yun and Sanguinius's calculations.

Zhou Yun's words caused a flaw in the minds of the imperial guards, and Sanguinius penetrated that flaw to convince them.

".I must make my way to the throne room."

Guilliman's words were even more decisive, without nonsense or exhortation, only pure authority:
"Perhaps one Custodes is equal to ten good Astartes, but I assure you: one Primarch is equal to a thousand Custodes."

"If Zhou Yun assists us, then Sanguinius and I will be equivalent to a whole group of ten thousand men."

Zhou Yun's accusations, Sanguinius's exhortations, and Guilliman's authority made the guards present slightly confused and bewildered.
I thought they were here to examine Zhou Yun and the two Primarchs to determine if they were loyal and whether they could enter the throne room to meet the Emperor.
But now the imperial guards all had a feeling that in just a few words, they had become the passive party, the party being judged.

Zhou Yun and the two Primarchs gave them a chance to make up for their mistakes.

After all, the Imperial Guards had not left Terra and the Imperial Palace for ten thousand years. Their bodies and martial arts might not have deteriorated during the training.
But their will, their thinking, and their spirit are actually dulled or even deteriorated.

Just like the imperial guard Ke Ken just now, Zhou Yun had an impression of him.
I have the impression that this Koken becomes the Tribune of the Custodes in the normal timeline, serving as a liaison between the Custodes and Guilliman.

Guilliman noticed the problem with Kirken: he had stayed on Terra for too long, so that his will became dull, he was often angry, and he had little ability to adapt. He even showed contempt for mortals and had extreme distrust of the Primarch and the Astartes.
This problem exists not only in Coken, in fact most of the imperial guards have similar problems to a greater or lesser extent.

But there are also excellent and wise people among the Imperial Guards. After all, they are one of the most perfect creations of the Emperor.

For example, the captain of the Valerian shield guard who had supported Zhou Yun and others on the moon, and the commander of the imperial guards, Trajan.
"The gate of eternity will open for the three of you."

"I would like to believe that this would be the Emperor's vision."

This caused a brief uproar among the Imperial Guards, but Trajan quickly suppressed it.
"I've made up my mind!"

“It is always dangerous to touch the fire, but if we always fear the flames, mankind will not have warmth and light.”

"You made the right decision," Sanguinius said softly.

Trajan was speechless, but just performed the Sky Eagle Salute to Zhou Yun and the two Primarchs.

"Come on, three of you."

"The Emperor awaits."
