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

Chapter 382 Conrad Coates on the Road (Please Subscribe)

Just as Curze was "seizing the ship" and escaping, Ryan, who was on the New Caliban, also received communication intelligence from the Indomitable Truth.

While establishing holographic communication with the Indomitable Truth, he quietly controlled the airtight warships and defense systems in the solar system to create an escape space for Curze's ship.

Even if he captured a battleship, it would be extremely difficult for Coze to escape. Mandeville Point was the most tightly controlled area. Unless all people and the defense system were collectively blind, it would be impossible.

And now, Ryan had to let them go blind for a while.

"My lord, the Midnight Haunter has left the Indomitable Truth. He took away prisoner No. 006478, Yago Sevatar Lyon, and several other members of the Night Lords' Black Armor Guard."

The commander of the Indomitable Truth meticulously reported the damage caused by Curze. Although many mortal crew members and Dark Angels were injured, there was only one report of death.

The last time Curze went on a killing spree on the Indomitable Truth, it resulted in the deaths of thousands of people.

In his mind, he recalled the order from the Father of Genes that no one should stop Conrad Curze.

"Sir, why is this?"

The commander felt that his brain circuit was not enough. It was obvious that Midnight Haunter was the mortal enemy of the First Legion before. The opponent continued to cause damage inside the battleship and even almost threw 400 airdrop pods onto the defensive void shields of the Ultramarines in Macragge.

And now the Lion King's completely different attitude undoubtedly means that many situations have changed.

"This is a secret." The lion had no intention of explaining, or rather, he didn't need to explain to his offspring at all.

"Are there any other losses? Who is the dead person?" Ryan was always worried about Koz, even though he had secretly returned to the empire.

A suspicious lion can never truly trust a person, even his brother.

The commander of the Indomitable Truth hesitated for a moment and continued his report.

"My lord, besides taking away his offspring, the Midnight Haunter also took away an Astropath on our ship."

"Astropath?" Ryan frowned slightly. He didn't understand why Coze wanted to take an astropath away.

"What about the death case? Was he killed by Coates?"

The commander suddenly felt himself sweating profusely, but he did not dare to hide it at all.

"My lord, the only person who died was the supervisor we appointed. He was responsible for monitoring the astropaths and navigators on the warship. According to reports from his colleagues, this supervisor often tortured and abused the missing astropaths. Based on the comparison of the scars, it was Yago Sevatar who killed him."

"He strangled the supervisor to death with his own hands and then left."

Ryan had some impression of Sevatar. It was this powerful warrior who held back the Dark Angels Legion. Moreover, during the negotiations with Curze, Sevatar and Shen killed his Grand Master of the Ninth Knights, Alachios. He was a powerful warrior second only to Astelan and Koswain.

But that’s all. No matter how powerful Sevatar is, he is just an Astartes.

It was not his turn to worry about such a trivial matter as the death of a supervisor, and Ryan was relieved that there were no other major problems.

Now that his identity and responsibilities have changed, he has no extra energy to divert to these things.

"The fleet continues to rest. In seven days we will set out for the Beta Garmon Star Cluster to engage in direct combat with the enemy."

"For the Emperor, we must defeat the enemy's encirclement head-on and the Empire will last forever!" Ryan's voice sounded from the holographic projection.

"For the Emperor!" The commander of the Indomitable Truth responded to the Lion King's oath with a fanatical look on his face.

They have long been patient in seeking revenge against the rebels.

……

"Father? What is going on?"

Inside the cruiser, Sevatar sat in front of the ship's medical platform. The company commander used a surgical knife to clean the wound and dead flesh on his shoulder blade.

There were no Legion pharmacists among the people saved by Curze, so they could only heal themselves.

The sharp scalpel danced deftly in his hands. He calmly sliced open his skin, scraping away the necrotic flesh bit by bit. Smelly, dark blood dripped from the wound into a pre-prepared container. His control over his body reached an incredible level. As he tended to the wound himself, he didn't even observe where the knife landed, as if he'd practiced it thousands of times.

Seeing Sevatar safe, Curze breathed a sigh of relief. If he still had some concerns about the Night Lords, they were only about Sevatar, Shen and a few other descendants.

"Sevatar, this is a very long story." Koz looked at his son's clear and determined eyes and didn't know where to start.

"So, you've returned to the Empire, right?" To Coze's surprise, Sevatar saw through his hesitation and questioned him as sharply as a scalpel.

"From the moment you broke into the cage of the Indomitable Truth to the moment we escaped from that battleship and hijacked this cruiser to enter the warp, I knew that all of this was a tacit agreement between you and the Lion."

"Otherwise, even if we can really escape from the Indomitable Truth, we will definitely be turned into cannon fodder by the defense system in the solar system. I firmly believe this."

"That Caliban man actually revealed his weakness on his own initiative. This speaks volumes. He was not like that in the Salamas sector back then. Our legion was beaten by the First Legion and had to flee in all directions."

Koz smiled silently. Although he had been separated from his son for a long time, the other party was still as sharp and insightful as ever.

He wants to reshape the Eighth Legion, and those criminals and villains will be eliminated one by one. Only through fire and ashes can they be reborn, and all this requires Sevatar's support and help.

After all, Koz also knows his own level. Maybe he can kill all the people in his own legion, but for him to create a pure legion based on this foundation... it is too difficult.

Sevatar was also observing Koz carefully at this moment. Countless details had revealed Koz's changes and differences. He was pleasantly surprised to find that his genetic father had actually shed his former madness.

As the captain of the first company and the head of the Nightbat Council, Sevatar was naturally very clear about the predictive visions that had been tormenting Curze. They had also tried to suppress Curze's crazy prophecies, but all failed.

And now, somehow, the hateful curse that had haunted his father had faded.

Curze now has a clear will, and that is enough for Sevatar.

His loyalty belongs to the Gene-Father, and Sevatar is not interested in whether he is loyal or betrayed by the Empire.

After treating his injuries, Sevatar restored his slicked-back hair style. With the help of his battle brothers, he put on the power armor he retrieved from the Dark Angels warehouse. The armor made of rare metals on Nostramo could completely blend into the night, with only dark blue lightning patterns flashing on the surface of the armor.

"We must return to Horus and bring Magnus back to Terra," Curze said.

He happily watched his son recover from his miserable appearance to his original state. Sevatar's left shoulder was decorated with a Nostramo lion, and his hands were clad in red gauntlets symbolizing a death sentence. He held a finely crafted power halberd in his hands casually. The Prince of Crows had returned.

Although the experience of being imprisoned and interrogated by the Dark Angels left him covered in scars, it never made him surrender.

Sevatar understood Curze's will. He closed his eyes and thought about what to do next.

The cruiser roamed in the ocean of ether, and he used his psychic prophetic abilities to capture the future direction as much as possible.

"Yago." On the bridge of the battleship, a girl dressed in choir clothes came to Sevatar. She was the Astropath who was confirmed missing by the Dark Angels.

"Athanee."

Sevatar opened his eyes and turned his face to the side. When he was imprisoned in a cage, a voice calling him "Yago" kept ringing in his ears.

He once thought that it was his psychic illusion, and constantly reflected and confided in it, but in fact the other party was a mortal astropath serving the Dark Angels.

It is through communicating with her that Sevatar is able to briefly learn about some of the situations in the outside world. The Prince of Crows even talks to her about their pasts, confesses his crimes and faults, and reflects on the judgment and punishment he practices.

His prison life on the Indomitable Truth made him understand many things.

After being rescued by her genetic father, Sevatar took her out and killed the monitor who abused her.

The psychic power of this young girl astropath is unusually strong. She assists Sevatar in psychic prophecy so that the isolated ship can find the right way out.

Koz sat in the corner, quietly watching Sevatar and the young star talker.

"This brat..." Midnight Haunter chuckled. He saw that Sevatar had gained a calmness and concentration that he had never had before. The Primarch looked through the two of them, somewhat surprised that his son could get along so well with a mortal astropath.

"This is what I dream of a Legion warrior looking like. Perhaps one day the Night Lords will be able to live in harmony with mortals and fight side by side."
