Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 319 Chaos Corruption, Invisible Distortion (Please Subscribe)
Faced with the different attitudes of Daven, the consensus among the Primarchs was broken in a short period of time. Sanguinius chose to land on the planet with his troops to find out, while Lion thought it would be better to just bomb it with an extermination order.

Guilliman also thought that Llane had become too radical and arrogant, and he was more inclined to Sanguinius's attitude.

The lion only felt the anger surging in his heart, almost materializing. Why, why were they unwilling to listen to him?

Why are they so conceited? Does Sanguinius think he is invincible?

It was obvious that they only needed to destroy the planet Devin, and then they could leave this damn extreme star field and return to Terra.

The Emperor is waiting for him, and countless rebels are waiting for him to kill and clean up.

He silently grabbed the armrest of the table beside him. The terrifying force almost pressed his fingers into the metal. The lion took deep breaths to suppress his emotions.

Hou Guin and Red Ross on the side saw the suppressed rage of the Father of Genes. The blood connection derived from the genes made them feel that Ryan was as violent as a volcano about to erupt.

"The Ninth Legion is landing on the planet Daven, and the Thirteenth Legion is preparing for a large-scale landing, sir." Hou Guin said, looking at the data displayed on the dashboard.

"What should we do?" Grand Master Redros of the Dreadwing seemed eager to try. He thought that Ryan's anger came at the right time. "They are going their own way, and we are right, my lord."

Lion sensed the hint from his offspring, who was implicitly suggesting that he complete the Dark Angels' mission - to save the Empire.

In order to save the empire, he would pay any price, even if it meant killing his brothers.

Yes, he is right.

Loyalty, a firm voice sounded in Ryan's heart.

Go ahead, for the sake of loyalty, everything can be sacrificed.

"Yes, the Dark Angels take loyalty as their duty. Loyalty is everything to us."

Ryan's hand moved towards the scarlet button. Once pressed, the entire battleship would respond to his orders.

Deadly weapons such as the star destroyer cannon, light spear array, vortex torpedoes, etc. on the bow will be unleashed in full force.

Captain Stannis had a blank expression on his face, his own emotions almost disappeared. As long as the Primarch gave an order, he would execute it, even if the planet below was Holy Terra.

"Davin is very dangerous. The abnormality shown by Sanguinius shows that he has been affected by an unknown factor. This is a dirty and dangerous place. It is unwise to land there. I must clear it out."

Go ahead, Ryan.

The voice in his heart became louder and louder, and Ryan could hardly hear the subtle sounds of the mechanical servants walking inside the ship.

"But if I destroy it now, I will also destroy the 9th Legion and Sanguinius, and turn against Roboute Guilliman." The Lion thought, wondering if it was worth it.

But you have no other choice, Lion, you are the most loyal heir. Sanguinius has wavered and is about to throw himself into the evil embrace of the Warp.

What you have done is just, and these are just necessary sacrifices. If the angels have been corrupted, you will be dragged to death in the Davin system.

Do what you want, a necessary evil, just like before.

Ryan could hardly hear the sounds from the outside world. Everything was silent in his ears. He seemed to hear his own thoughts. His right hand slowly stretched out.

However, not everyone will obey Llane's orders unconditionally. Redros of the Dreadwing desires destruction, but at least Grand Master Houguin of the Deathwing still has his own thoughts.

Hou Gu's inner uneasiness was magnified. He found that his respected genetic father seemed vaguely...something was not right. He was about to give the order to bomb Dai Wenxing.

The Grand Master of Deathwing thought that he should stand up, as Ryan was walking on an extremely dangerous edge.

Civil unrest at this time would only give the Warp a golden opportunity, and this would destroy the Empire's hopes.

Sanguinius has already landed, followed by Guilliman, Roche and Curze. If they take action now, they will have no chance of survival.

"Sir." Hou Guin walked up to him and called softly, "Please think twice."

Hou Guin's voice penetrated the whispers, and the Lion King was suddenly stunned. He suddenly realized that his son had come in front of him without him knowing, and he immediately stopped what he was doing.

"What did I just do?" Ryan felt a long-lost sense of fear, and his blood seemed to freeze. He saw his hand resting on the scarlet button, feeling a little unbelievable.

Just now he seemed to have had an extremely real dream, in which another "him" was guiding the lion to make a decision.

"I want to kill my brother? Just to speed up the defense?"

"How am I different from Horus?"

Hou Guin was frightened by the lion king's appearance and nodded hesitantly.

Ryan pulled out his Lion Sword with a swish. The blade, which had not yet activated the decomposition force field, rubbed against the wrist armor, making a sharp whistling sound.

He was breathing so heavily that the dark angels beside him could even hear the sound of his breathing like a bellows, as if he had just gone through a difficult battle.

"Almost, almost, I'm about to take action."

The rage and anxiety in Ryan's heart were immediately poured with a basin of Fenris ice water, and the IQ of the Caliban people's brains came online again, becoming as elusive as the dark forest.

He realized that something was wrong with him. Why was he so eager to destroy Devin? Why did he not hesitate to attack his own blood relatives for this purpose?
An unknown existence is quietly influencing him. It is not a simple corruption, nor a whisper of temptation, but an invisible guidance and a subtle change.

This change seeped in after he had used the extermination order time and again, and continued to give psychological hints.

This is an invisible distortion.

At the last moment, Ryan finally came to his senses after being reminded by Hou Guin.

When he thought Sanguinius was overly conceited, he never thought of a possibility, that is, was he the conceited one?
Lion was proud. The Lion King of Caliban had always believed that he was the best candidate for the Warmaster. Even though the Emperor finally chose Horus, it was only because the achievements of the Dark Angels could not be made public. They were sweepers walking in the darkness, so the achievements of the Dark Angels on the surface might not be outstanding.

Ryan can even say without exaggeration that if it were not for the strongest Dark Angel who had bitten off the tough bone of Randan, I am afraid that several Astartes Legions together would not be enough to fill this huge hole.

"Hou Guin, you must remember that if anything unusual happens to me, I authorize you to use any means to remind me."

"The corruption of Chaos is always invisible, and the invisible enemy is often more dangerous than the visible one."

After giving the instructions, Ryan missed Coswayen even more. His steward never let him down. In comparison, Redros was too reckless, and Houguin lacked some alertness.

"Prepare for an orbital drop for me, and bring my best knights, and we shall fight it out on the surface of Davin."

Ryan closed his eyes and let his animal instincts take over his body.

The elite Dark Angels veterans took action, and the monks of each order took out their best tactics. Fully armed, they followed the Lion King and boarded the landed Thunder Eagle gunship.

During the airborne process, Lion sent a communication request to Guilliman.

"Lion, what's wrong with you?" Guilliman asked.

Lion did not answer Guilliman's boring questions, and said directly: "None of this is important, Guilliman. What is important is that you must be careful in the next action, especially be careful of yourself."

"Never make any decisions in an impulsive moment, and I almost ruined all of us."

Lion cut off the communication, leaving Guilliman and Roche sitting in their private Thunderhawks looking at each other.

"You say... did he really intend to kill us with the whirlwind torpedo just now?" Guilliman couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He had a strong premonition that Lion must have planned so.

Madman, this madman, he found that he had overestimated Ryan's moral level.

Luo Xi also smiled bitterly. "But fortunately, Ryan figured it out himself. He didn't let fear and rage dominate him. And I'm afraid his words were not just for us."

What Lion King Ryan wanted to say was that on the planet of Devin, even he had to be doubtful and cautious.

Luo Xi suddenly felt that there were more variables in Davin's journey. They were so fragile. Even if the Primarch was guiding them, could they really remain united?

Before they even saw those unknown enemies, a struggle had already quietly taken place within them.
