Chapter 465: Qiao Gaolisi Top Order (Please Subscribe)

+A loud background noise from the subspace+
"My dear brother, where are you going?"

"I have cut off the bridge between the subspace and the real universe in this galaxy. No one can escape from here, especially you, my dear brother."

In the command post of the Sky Eagle's bridge, the figure of Horus suddenly appeared in the holographic projection in front of the Khan. The wolf god opened his arms, as if he wanted to embrace his brother across the long distance.

Unknown sounds from the subspace are spreading, giving people an instinctive feeling of coldness and dampness.

He looked at Chagatai with a smile, as kind and gentle as he used to be.

The Khan with White Scars tensed up all over instantly. He ordered the mechanical priests present to immediately self-check the system, and only relaxed a little after confirming that there was no problem with the artificial intelligence of the Thundercloud-class planetary battleship.

He was worried that Horus had forcibly used psychic power to hack into the artificial intelligence and distorted and corrupted the brain.

However, the Black Stone withstood the test, and the intelligent brain core that switched to an anti-subspace stance showed no signs of contamination. Horus simply sent down a psychic projection to better communicate with his brother.

"It's been many years since we last met, Chagatai. Do you think I would do anything to your precious ship? No, we are still brothers. Although you have been deceived by our father, your position in my heart has not changed."

"You have been by my side for so many years. You and Sanguinius are my closest friends. This shouldn't be the case between us."

Horus acted considerate, but the Chogorians still had a stern face and his right hand never let go of his White Tiger Sword.

This spiritual sword emits a low humming sound, alerting its owner.

Chagatai Khan stared at the virtual image in front of him, trying to find the shadow of the wolf-herding god of the past.

The mentor and friend, the first son who returns like the sun to warm other brothers.

After a long time, he let out a long sigh.

The Khan stroked his long sword. Even without activating the decomposition stance, the White Tiger Sword was still extremely sharp. Chagatai's palm brushed it lightly and he felt a slight sting.

"You're a good imitator, but you're not him."

As soon as the Chogorian finished speaking, the perfect smile of Horus in the holographic projection froze.

The expression on Horus's face became increasingly cold, and the aura he exuded was as dim as the sun after a solar eclipse.

Endless dark aura gushed out from the person in front of him, and Chagatai even felt a strong sense of suffocation from his psychic perspective.

In an instant, he realized that he could never be a match for Horus, or that no Primarch could be the enemy of the monster before him.

He is nothing more than a monster of the Warp who disguises himself as Horus, uses his identity, and commits a series of evil deeds in his name.

This is just a psychic projection of the opponent. If the real Horus came in person, Chagatai would not be able to think of any way to win.

Lion, Sanguinius, our actions in Beta-Garmon are doomed to fail. Even if we can defeat Horus's rebels, as long as Horus is alive, we will not be able to prevent the rebels from entering Terra.

If he had to find someone who could defeat Horus, Chagatai could only think of his father, the Emperor of Mankind.

Chagatai Khan never liked his father and could not tolerate any deception, even if it was well-intentioned.

But looking at Horus in front of him, Chagatai's inner view and attitude towards the Emperor also changed like melting ice and snow.

At least the Emperor is ten thousand times stronger than the monster in front of him. Look at this "Wolf Shepherd God". He has almost touched all the disgusting things in the Sea of ​​Souls and is proud of it.

"You still can't understand me, brother." Horus was still unwilling to give up Chagatai and he was still trying to persuade him to surrender.

"These are just necessary costs. I have reached an alliance with the Warp, but I am still myself. I am not a slave of the Warp. Everything I have won is what I have won through the Trial of Moloch."

Chagatai looked at Horus with contempt as he was still trying to prove his clarity and independence, and he realized that the other party was completely hopeless.

Anyone who thinks they can take advantage of the Warp and maintain their own self-esteem is a complete fool.

They were like ruthless gamblers in a casino, having already staked everything on the table, yet still deceiving themselves that the next hand would yield a victory. "Our father deceived me. He had no love for humanity. I saw the future with my own eyes: the galaxy would forever seethe and burn, countless humans would suffer, and the Emperor would sit upon the Golden Throne, about to ascend to godhood."

Horus chattered on and on, with a grim face, as he recounted what he had seen while lying on the ritual altar in the Temple of Daven.

"I will never allow it. Humanity has only one chance to revive. If the Emperor cannot seize it, then let me do it!"

"Only I can lead humanity to revival. We will restore the glory of the golden age. Humanity will become the overlord of the entire galaxy, and these are things the Emperor cannot do."

Chagatai closed his eyes in pain as he listened to Horus using countless reasons and excuses to whitewash his betrayal.

Khan breathed heavily, which was extremely rare. The anger that lingered around him became more and more boiling, and there was even a sound of teeth gritting and grinding.

"Horus, do you still remember those thirty years? The thirty years you spent with the Emperor." Chagatai said suddenly.

Horus, who was speaking nonstop, suddenly froze, and a rare hint of tenderness appeared in his dark and chaotic pupils.

"Of course I remember. Those thirty years were the happiest time of my life. I was the only son of my father. He taught me how to study and fight, and trained me to be an outstanding general."

Horus in front of him was stroking his fingers, and Chagatai saw that he was rubbing a somewhat old gold ring.

"He told me: Horus, you are my Sagittarius, you will help me complete the mission I failed to complete - liberate the entire galaxy and unite mankind from its dispersion again."

"I remember every scene, every word the Emperor said to me, every expression."

Chagatai looked at Horus with surprise as he talked to himself as if immersed in memories. He stroked the ring that no one could touch, as if humanity had returned to the wolf shepherd god again.

But hope was shattered in an instant, and Horus's slightly raised humanity was suppressed again, and all his warmth was dispersed by rage.

"But these are all false. The Emperor wants to ascend to godhood. The Primarchs and Astartes are just his plans to become a god. He has not left a proper place for the Primarchs and Astartes in the future. Don't you know that? Jaghatai?!"

"Like the two brothers who were wiped from existence, the Emperor is a cruel tyrant who will destroy everything I hold dear."

The perceptive Chagatai saw something from Horus' words: there was at least a little goodness in Horus' heart that was rebelling against the Chaos Gods.

Perhaps he really wanted to gain the power to fight against the Emperor from Chaos, as he said, rather than becoming its slave.

Jaghatai spoke, finding a loophole in Horus's language.

"My brother, you said that the Warp told you that the future galaxy is burning, and all human beings are heading for destruction in endless pain, and your father is sitting on the Golden Throne and suffering... But is there a possibility?"

"It was not the Emperor who caused all this, but you."

Horus suddenly froze as if his throat was strangled, and the remaining rationality in his brain was trying to examine the truthfulness of Hetai's words.

"The Warp is always like this. Their lies are never just lies. Instead, they tell you the truth, but only part of it."

"You have been deceived, Horus. It is you who have caused endless suffering and made the Emperor's dream of human rejuvenation come to nothing. Stop it, my brother."

Chagatai was extremely eager for Horus to listen to his advice. Humanity had already paid enough, and all it took was an instigation and deception from the Warp.

The words of the Chogorians were more effective than any weapon, for Horus was indeed plunged into a long, dead silence.

In the heart of the wolf shepherd god, his conceited, selfish, and arrogant side and his rational, kind side began to clash.

Chagatai's words were like a ray of light shining into Horus' heart, but endless darkness forcibly blocked his rationality, and the power of chaos suppressed all of Horus' resistance.

The Four Gods would not allow their trump cards to have any thoughts of losing control.

The Claw of Horus and the Hammer of the World Breaker suddenly appeared in the hands of Horus, who was originally unarmed, and he issued a final ultimatum to Chagatai.

"Last chance, Chagatai. Obey me or die!"
