Warhammer 40: My Fiancée Fulgrim.

Chapter 203 The Second Empire 2=1, come quickly!

Eisenstein.

This is a rather old ship, and the crew on board has never been the most elite among the Deathguards.

If Casca hadn't mentioned this name in the prophecy, Garo would never have thought of this ship at this critical moment.

But he was still a step too slow.

Before he could catch up with the ship, Typhon had already taken all the navigators on the Eisenstein away through the Warriors' Society.

How could a ship without a navigator escape from the center of a bizarre subspace storm?
After boarding the ship and learning the news, Galo could only pray.

I pray that the prophecy of Casca will not come true.

However, just when he was about to think that they were likely to be trapped in this warp forever, a mysterious narrator stepped forward and came to his side.

She called herself Euphrates Kira and was a chronicler.

To be precise, he was the former narrator.

Shortly after the start of the Great Crusade, she traveled among the various legions as a reporter, but the impression of the miracles she had witnessed on Prospero remained in her mind and could not be erased for a long time.

From that moment on, she devoted her life to studying the Emperor—she devoured every book available to her in every legion, all in an effort to find the connection between the golden centaur that had appeared in the theater and the Emperor.

As she continued her research, Qi Le seemed to increasingly sense that mysterious golden power. It always stayed by her side, protecting her from the corruption of those evil thoughts.

Guided by some mysterious force, she saw the light emanating from Gara and the mission she was destined to fulfill in the future: to lead him out of the encirclement, to the Holy Terra, and to meet Makado.

Qi Le revealed to him her extraordinary faith—she had a deep and unwavering devotion to the emperor.

—and they believed that the Emperor was a giant centaur.

Galo was also helpless about this.

"Viewing the emperor as a god is not in line with the empire—what?"

and many more?

What did she say an emperor was again?

"What do you mean by emperor?"

Just as an imperial purist and the pope of the state religion were debating whether the emperor was a man or a god without reaching a conclusion, they turned to a third person for his opinion.
—Then the third person suddenly took off his power boxing gloves, revealing an old gold ring on the little finger of his left hand, and told the other two, “The Emperor is neither human nor god, the Emperor is my Centaur,” which was full of surprise and artistry!

What does it mean that the Emperor is actually a golden centaur?
Emperors are pure human beings; to compare an emperor to a demi-human is a great blasphemy against him!

After her initial surprise subsided, Galo loudly rebuked her for this absurd statement.

Galo initially dismissed her claims, thinking it was just another new form of imperial worship.

As a staunch supporter of the Empire's truth, Garo, a combat company commander from the ancient Terran race, simply does not believe in any gods or evil forces in this world.

—Until the plague zombie and the fat Chaos Space Marine appeared before Garo.

In this critical moment when demons appeared and strange things were happening, Galo, having lost all other means of dealing with the situation, could only turn to Qile, the chronicler who had found him earlier.

After all, she was able to foresee the crisis that would befall her and the entire Death Guard Legion; perhaps... perhaps she really did possess some mysterious ability that could save them from that crisis—

She might be useful, but the Emperor could never be a centaur!
This was Galo's bottom line—he believed that his previous disputes with the Imperial Cult could be put aside for the time being.

Whether the emperor was human or god is another matter, but he could never have been a centaur!
They are centaurs.

Although Galo could not believe, nor dared to believe, such a statement filled with blasphemous implications, it seemed that in the end, as golden light surged from Qile's body, the imperial miracle was truly displayed before him, and the corrosive liquid on his armor and inside the ship was completely burned away by this scorching golden light.
That...that really does look like a centaur.
"No, it can't be! This shouldn't be happening!"

Galo felt that her worldview was being greatly impacted.

He couldn't accept it, but it was indeed effective.

Under the golden light, the people who were initially panicked by the strange and foul-smelling monsters inside the ship, and even more terrified and helpless because of the plague zombies, gradually calmed down.

While the hideous monsters could continue fighting unaffected by Captain Garo's power sword, they were terrified in the face of this golden light, twisting their fat and clumsy bodies in an attempt to avoid the all-illuminating radiance.

It's obvious there's no escaping it.

Even the Chaos Space Marines, who considered themselves favored by a great and benevolent father, could only turn into harmless white ashes before this all-encompassing light, disappearing into the world along with the pus and poison they had spread.

Amidst the agonizing screams of those men, the bridge of the USS Eisenstein was once again swept clean.

This deck had never been so clean before.

With the arrival of the great emperor's incarnation—the centaur—Qi Le knelt down, bowing her head devoutly to the centaur that radiated infinite light, and prayed softly like the most devout nun.

However, to Gara, whose hearing was beyond that of ordinary people, the prayers he heard seemed exceptionally blasphemous.

However, it is effective.

As the plague-ridden fat pig, which he had previously been unable to kill no matter how he slashed, only splattering pus further, was completely annihilated by the Emperor's holy light, cheers like waves resounded throughout every corner of the ship's cabin.

The emperor did not abandon them!
Even in this perilous moment, the Emperor's power can still protect them as they move forward and bless them in defeating evil!
"Qile, are you able to talk to him?"

Gara still refused to call the golden centaur phantom in mid-air the Emperor—it was too blasphemous and abnormal. If it really was the Emperor incarnate, the entire human empire would be doomed!

"Now that we've lost our navigator, can he help us escape from here?"

"Or is he even capable of killing that traitor Typhon, allowing us to complete our counter-offensive?"

“No, I can sense His thoughts.” Qi Le closed his eyes and said, “He is telling us that this is the territory of that evil creature, and even with His power, it is impossible for Him to survive in this space. Being able to protect this one escort ship is already the limit of His power.”

Even gods are not omnipotent, let alone a centaur shimmering with golden light.

His presence here is largely due to the fact that Nurgle's power is scattered throughout the world. The Dark Gods have too many things to look after, like a house with leaks on all sides. Even with the power of the evil god, they still cannot plug every leak.

This place allows Him to successfully lead them back to the real world, back to the time and space node He wants these people to go to, so that they can complete their mission.

Just then, a crack shimmering with a unique golden light suddenly appeared outside the bow porthole.

"Quickly! Commander! Go through at full speed!"

The captain was overjoyed at the sight and, without caring what might be behind the crevice, ordered his crew to cross it at full speed.

Even if there's an abyss behind it, it's still infinitely better than being infected and turned into a mindless zombie covered in foul-smelling pus!
They'd go anywhere as long as they could escape this cesspool!

"and many more!"

As everyone was caught up in absolute fervor, Gara stepped forward somewhat uneasily and asked, "Where exactly is our ship's destination?"

Where are you leading us?

The golden centaur leaped through the air.

He did not answer Garo's question, even though from all perspectives, His appearance and Casca's revelation of the prophecy were inextricably linked to Garo himself, the company commander.

"What exactly do you want me to do?"

No one could answer him; only the golden light that had successfully emerged from the warp covered every corner of the old frigate.

It blocked and purified all the filth from Nurgle on the ship, as well as the pursuers that followed when they saw the Eisenstein trying to escape.

"The great god of decay, is that the power of the false emperor? Why would he choose this moment to kidnap Company Commander Gara?"

Typhons muttered to himself in the center of the bridge's command room.

and many more.

If even the combat company commander Garo could be rescued by that pseudo-emperor, wouldn't Mortalian be just as likely to be torn apart by this warp storm?
What if he has a chance of surviving?

This is not good—the reason Typhons didn't kill Mortalian before was mainly because he found the guy both tough and resilient, possessing both incredible endurance and considerable lethality.

What if I accidentally deplete my father's credit limit to zero? Wouldn't he kill me on the spot?

Therefore, Typhons decided to choose a safer option – why not just kick him out!
Let the endless turbulence of the subspace sweep him into any spacetime, and consider him dead!

But now that even the false emperor has the power to interfere in the realm of the benevolent father, isn't this...?
"Forget it, there's no need to think about it too much."

Typhons quickly ended his internal strife.

"Clean up the rest of the ships, so that the crew members can feel the grace of a loving father!"

"Once completed, we will reorganize the Death Guard's Space Marines and auxiliary forces! We will then proceed to—Holy Terra!"

As for the missing Eisenstein
Where exactly will we end up?

Bathed in endless golden light, Company Commander Galo tried to open his eyes to catch a glimpse of the outside world—

The golden light continued to fill his vision until time slowly passed. It felt like a long time to Gara, but in objective time it didn't seem long at all. The dazzling light dimmed, and everything around him became visible again. He could almost see the ship's configuration reappear in his field of vision after the light dissipated.

Galo struggled to open his eyes, wanting to see where he had arrived after completing his journey!
What he saw when he opened his eyes to the golden light was just an ordinary-looking planet.

"That is--"

The Signas Galaxy
Deep within the subspace rift.

A corner that no one, not even any god, can observe.

That is where Kabanha is located.

"Spare me, angel! Spare me!"

"what!!!"

Stupid!
Another crimson blade slashed across, cutting a huge gash through the demon's brass breastplate once more. It seemed that with this powerful blow, even the demon's body was damaged as a result.

Even with his bloodthirsty regenerative abilities and melee skills, Kabanhar, who prided himself on being the most capable demon under Khorne's command, was utterly helpless against Sangilis.

In particular, the angels are currently in a state of extreme anger.

kill!

Ignoring Carbanha's pleas for mercy, Saint Gilles, though now extremely enraged, still shone with a cold, disdainful light in her eyes. With her next strike, she plunged the spear in her right hand deep into the gap she had just created!

Deadly calmness is a key reason why Khorne favored angels—unlike mindless beasts (not referring to Angron), her anger only makes her calmer, allowing her to tear apart the enemy's weaknesses with tactical thinking and awareness.

Although outwardly there was no difference except for a slightly furrowed brow and a slightly sharper gaze on his stunningly beautiful face, only Kabanha, whose body had actually been torn to shreds, could sense it—

She was furious. Although this disdainful look actually excited Kabanha.

But while being brutally beaten, he thought about the terrible fate that awaited him if he failed to meet the Skull Master's KPI.
Clearly, even in terms of anger, Kabanha lost this duel.

It was clear that Emperor's angels were more furious and more spirited than the demons of the second brother.

Shameful.

Not even bothering to say another word to this idiot and pervert, Saint Gilles pierced the man's heart with his spear, released his right hand from the spear, and with both hands gripping the sword, severed the damned demon's head.

Perhaps this guy didn't die cleanly enough last time; when he died, he even dragged her into the warp, leaving a considerable shadow on the angels.

Therefore, she was extra careful when she killed it this time. She even flapped her wings to get away from it when she completely severed its head, for fear of being caught and taken back into the Four Gods Space.

Fortunately, it seems there is no room for it to repeat its old tricks.

After being beheaded, the demon's head struggled twice and then fell still.

"die!"

Seeing this, Saint Gilles, still not satisfied, went forward and stabbed a few more times.

Snapped.

Until Nakabanha's battered body completely turned to ashes and disappeared into the gap between reality and the warp.

"Casca."

"What is it, Your Majesty?"

After repeatedly whipping the corpse for a long time, Casca suddenly heard the other party call his name.

As Kasga stepped forward to check, the angel swiftly grabbed his shoulder, almost before Kasga could react, and brought his face very close to the angel's.

Even Casca felt a little embarrassed in the face of the angel's stunning beauty, which was made even more beautiful by the slight bloodstains on her face.

"Casca."

The angel's expression was extremely solemn: "In your prophecy, have you heard of the matter of [Black Wrath]?"

Black fury.

That's very familiar.

This is the eternal curse of Saint Gilles' death upon every one of her offspring, the Holy Blood Angels.

Under the influence of Black Fury, when the Blood Angels experience great trauma or encounter an experience extremely similar to that of the Blood Angels being killed by Horus in the original timeline, they will experience a hallucination—seeing themselves as Sangilius himself, fighting Horus on the Soul of Vengeance, and regarding all other creatures indiscriminately as Horus, and therefore wanting to attack everything around them.

"You are Horus! You are Horus too!"

"Horus, all of you, die!!!"

This is the cursed power hidden in the blood of Saint Gilles.

In fact, when Horus whispered the centaur's golden ring in her ear, some early signs of Black Wrath had already appeared.

"But I could sense that my death was an inevitable end."

As he spoke, Saint Gilles' face was filled with sorrow: "But if I am truly destined to die, what will become of the Holy Blood Angels?"

"If you could, you could quell their dark rage, wouldn't you?"

Saint Gilles was very anxious.

Casgar: "."

"Probably not."

But the result was beyond her expectations.

Thirst is a defect in the genetic seed, so the psionic flames of Casgar can directly burn and purify it.

But the death of Blackfury Saint Gilles is an inevitable mark emanating from the soul of every Blood Angel, a shared yearning for revenge and salvation.
Especially now, given Saint Gilles's almost fanatical popularity within the Legion, it's hard to imagine how terrifying the Blood Angels' dark wrath would be if Saint Gilles's Ascension Day truly arrived.

Casca was powerless to do anything about it.

"In that case, Casca, if possible, I would like to ask you to grant me one more request—"

As he spoke, Saint Gilles blushed slightly.

She carefully leaned close to Casca's ear and whispered something.

"what?"

"You want me to find someone else to take care of your child?"

Saint Gilles was very clever.

Since she is inevitably going to die, why not just find someone else to play Saint Gillespie?
They even came up with a name for the actor playing the role: San Giuliano.

At that time, there will be no need to be stationed in the legion at all times. You only need to put on the mask and temporarily manifest your spiritual power a couple of times.
A radiant light appeared on the planet Bal, and the sound of mothers' voices filled the air.

It's enough for the Blood Angels to believe that she's still alive!
Casgar: "."

"But I remember you're a woman, aren't you?"

Casca asked, seemingly knowing the answer already, "How am I supposed to act like this?"

In this world, San Giuliano must also be a woman!
and many more.

It seems, it seems there really is a suitable candidate!
It's a bit strange, but it's enough to appease the Holy Blood Angel!

"Well then," looking into the other person's innocent and hopeful eyes, Casca couldn't refuse. "Although I can't agree to your request, I have a good candidate in mind."

"Who is that person?"

"Well, I can't reveal that yet."

Kasga was a little afraid that if he revealed it, the other party would immediately become furious.

"If there is an opportunity, I will mention this matter to the Emperor during the communication and let him make the decision."

"It shouldn't be a problem."

"Great!"

"Thank you, Casgar!!!"

Seeing that Casca had agreed to her request, Saint Gilles hugged her tightly.

Whether it's healing the thirsty, rescuing them all on Nukelia, or now helping her buy time from Cabanha and agreeing to her San Giuliano plan.
Honestly, as a Space Marine born to the Emperor, Kasgar really helped her in so many ways.

She couldn't help but hug him.

But at that moment, the subspace rift could no longer be maintained.

With a thud, they both fell right under the noses of Fugrim and the Holy Blood Angel, who were anxiously waiting outside.

This time, Forgrim unusually didn't make things too difficult for Kasgar.

The Blood Angels' rage had already filled every corner of the planet.

you!
How could you hug our mother?!
These people were practically possessed by a dark rage on the spot.

With the cover of Fugrim and many of the Emperor's sons, and with the strong resistance of Sanguiles, they were finally able to return to their flagship.

"I'll deal with you later!"

After boarding the Emperor's Pride, Fugrim glared fiercely at Kasgar before activating the flagship's communication system.

She never expected that in the short time she was on the Red Tear Ship slaying the demon, these two would get entangled together!

Did she really keep an eye on him, Casca, every single moment?

I'll be watching you.
[Commander, are you able to receive communications?]

Shortly afterward, a holographic projection from Saint Gilles appeared in the command room of the Imperial Pride.

The demonic army in the Signas system has now been dealt with, although the Blood Angels forces are blocked by the warp storm.
But they can still go to Macurag!
The Second Empire is currently estimated to be at 2=1!
[Communications are working correctly, Saint Gilles. We need information from the other legions.]

Before this warp storm began, did you have any leads on other Legions?

There are no clues yet, but I can vaguely sense a prophecy about the future.

"Prophecy?" Cassia stepped forward and asked, "What did you prophesy?"

After the Great Rebellion deviated from the original timeline, Kasgara's fake prophetic abilities became ineffective, and now it's up to the real psychic prophets to complete the task.

I saw the battlefield of the final battle.

Saint Gilles closed her eyes, her words hesitant.

We must not allow Phyllis's legion to attack Terra; she possesses power that no other legion can match.

In Saint Gilles' eyes, she saw Terra under the baptism of absolute firepower and the blessing of the four gods, Philus, Terra's royal guard Rogdorn died in battle, and the remaining remnants, unable to withstand the enemy's attack, could only detonate the Seven Hammer Amulets and perish together.

The only solution lies with you.

Phyllis may be powerful, but the Emperor's Son is her eternal nemesis. You must intercept her before she reaches Terra.

And that planet that appeared in the prophecy

That is your destination, and also the final battleground where the Emperor's Sons will stop Philus from reaching Terra. Its name is—

Saint Gilles's expression was solemn.

It seems she also foresaw that their mission would be fraught with peril.

"【Istvan III】."
