Warhammer: My Biological Father Emperor and My Demigod Brother

Marum fell into a deep silence. Even the will that the dark gods could not shake wavered once again before Aaron.

He sincerely doubted whether the emperor's humanity was truly a good thing.

After all, judging from the chaos mentioned by the Emperor's First Son and the fact that almost all the Primarchs have mental problems, let's just forget about humanity!

Marum's silence left Aaron completely bewildered, and he began to stammer:

“Why, why don’t you speak? I’m sorry, Marum. If my words have offended you or my brother, I sincerely apologize.”

"But please don't tell me that those things, those absurd things that really happened between the godsons and their father?"

Bang!

The framework that Marum was building crumbled because that kind of thing really did happen.

Moreover, it happened to the Primarch, whom the Ultramarines have hated the most in the past.

For this reason, there was once a special Ultramarines combat squad that searched far and wide for the reasons why the Emperor's Sons and their Primarchs fell into corruption, recording those secrets in the documents of Macragge.

(See the actions taken by the Emperor's Son to expel the demon from Forgrim.)

Chapter 13 Mythical Prophecy, Horus

Three days later, the sound of the Nile's flowing water filled the ears of the three men and their donkey, making a rushing noise.

They were lucky; it was low tide, and the alluvial plain was full of farmers and slaves growing wheat.

Actually, the people here don't have very dark skin or thick lips; they even have a unique charm.

They worked barefoot in the mud, while the women wore robes and carried basins or earthenware buckets on their heads.

For the people here, the fertile land brought by the Nile's raging floods provided them with abundant food.

Therefore, there is a lot of extra grain that can be used for brewing.

Regions with longer sunshine cycles produce exceptional wines and fruit drinks.

The people in the fields by the roadside looked curiously at the group of people coming from the north.

In order not to disturb the people, they switched to walking instead of being carried by Marum alone as before.

Only the old donkey enjoyed being carried by Marum. After all, it had worked its whole life, and in its old age, it was still able to be served.

They arrived at a small town called Las Vegas and decided to rest there for a while.

Las Vegas is now part of Egypt, and the local customs and culture have changed drastically. Guards of the local governor can be seen patrolling everywhere, as the city is scattered across several habitable areas.

As long as there is no large-scale war, security issues are easy to manage.

Despite the different clothing styles of the people around them and the diverse types of buildings.

However, Aaron was still able to find elements from northern cultures such as Athens in various places, which had become part of Egyptian culture.

They were choosing accommodations and purchasing supplies before continuing their journey to Saise, the capital of Egypt.

Aaron had just helped unload the donkey when a merchant dressed like he was from the Babylonian kingdom approached, sized up the old donkey, took off his hat which looked like a pile of scarves, and said with a smile:

“I have met some gentlemen. This donkey is being carried on someone’s back, and it is quite old. It must be being taken to the market to be sold, or to be slaughtered by a butcher.”

Egypt is currently under the rule of Nicholas II of the Set dynasty. Five years ago, Egypt had just ended its war with the Neo-Babylonian Empire over Karkimish.

Now that the region is recuperating, merchants from both places have naturally completed the construction of trade routes and begun to exchange goods and services—this is human instinct.

Anda remained silent, and Marum was even more at a loss as to how to communicate with mortals.

Therefore, Aaron became the person Anoah communicated with. After all, the practice of deceiving these young people to make a little money could not be eradicated even after more than two thousand years.

Ainoa moved closer to Aaron, carrying a strange perfume scent. These businessmen really sacrificed too much for their businesses.

He continued:

"As luck would have it, I know a few local vendors who can sell a few small drachmas or a tenth of a dabon for a good price. Or they can be exchanged for bread and beer for the journey."

"I highly recommend Barrick's beer. It's delicious and sweet, and even Horus would praise it."

"Ugh—ahh! Master, spare me! Master, spare me!"

Before Aaron could react, Ainoa was lifted up by Marum by the collar. With just a slight tilt of that magical arm, the merchant's head would roll to the ground like a watermelon.

"Shut up! Human, that filthy name is not for you to utter!"

For all Astartes, "Horus" is a key word that triggers PTSD symptoms.

Even though Marum wasn't a warrior who personally experienced the 30K era, their inherited genetic seeds still carry the anger and regret from ten thousand years ago.

This anger was especially intense towards the Holy Blood Angel.

In other words, Marum is an Ultra Warrior, and the Astartes has the most stable gene seed.

Otherwise, Ainoa's head might have been crushed by now, and his blood might have been sucked dry from his neck.

Only then did Anda straighten up, casually checking their luggage while muttering:

"Alright, Marum, that hasn't happened yet. Let go of this poor man; we have no intention of selling the donkey."

Marum then released his grip, letting Ainoa roll to the ground.

Enoa was so frightened that he scrambled away, wetting himself in the process. He only dared to stand up after crawling a short distance, hurriedly calling out:

"The gods curse you! You rude barbarians!"

"Get out of Lavist! Wait, you taboo the name of God, calling him unclean! Heretics! Heretics!"

Horus will kill you!

It's really interesting that a businessman from an enemy country five years ago has the audacity to call others heretics.

Aaron finally caught up with Marum's reaction and stood in front of him to prevent the poor man, who didn't know what he had said wrong, from dying on the spot.

He was extremely intelligent and realized the name that had enraged Marum.

“Marum, is there something wrong with the name ‘Horus’? He is the grandson of Amun and the son of Osiris. It is the cycle of sunrise and sunset, representing the victory of order over chaos.”

Marum's eyes were tightly closed, his blood vessels were surging violently, and many of Astartes' organs were operating at full power.

“I think he was just referring to the Pharaoh as Horus. Every Pharaoh claimed to be the incarnation of Horus on earth. What was he called? ‘The Living Horus,’” Aaron continued to explain.

Marum clenched his fist, and Astartes' bones cracked.

"Relax, every place has its own mythology."

Aaron gave his father a malicious look and said metaphorically:

“Unless the main god of every myth is one person, you agree, Father. There was a time when gods in other places couldn’t find their fathers, simply because their fathers had gone to other places.”

Aaron's words were tantamount to pushing Marum to the brink of a nervous breakdown.

Listen to what sunrise and sunset mean, and what the victory of order over chaos means!

Thirty thousand years later, everything went wrong!

The sun was shot down, and chaos devastated the empire.

Your Majesty, did human history foreshadow the future long before the Common Era?

Marum remained silent, looking down at Anda who was checking the luggage.

Anda turned his head away, somewhat annoyed:

“Don’t look at me, it has nothing to do with me. What you just said might cause a lot of local priests to come and cause trouble for us. They will think we are disrespectful to God.”

"In Athens, he would be hanged. In Egypt, he would have to spend money to pay a penny for his sins. Here, metal is still used as currency, but to buy rare items from other places, you have to exchange them for money."

My father talked a bit too much again, and it turned out he was talking about money. That old man is actually quite frivolous; he even seems to enjoy watching others have fun.

As soon as he finished speaking, several guards walked over from a distance, and next to the leader was Ainoa, who had just been thrown to the ground.

The merchant had changed his tune:

“Captain Gert, when I mentioned Horus, the symbol of the Pharaoh, those outsiders called him filth and beat me in a rage! This is disrespectful to the Pharaoh! They must be taught a lesson, arrested, and thrown into a water dungeon to feed the crocodiles!”

Chapter 14 War Demons and the Ladder of Civilization

Marum glanced coldly over them and took a step forward.

Before he could even display the power to slaughter countless aliens and heretics, Adachi grabbed his shoulder.

"I don't want to see these people so scared that they wet themselves, or even have their blood vessels burst and die suddenly here."

“Marum, they are human beings whose behavior is limited by the times they live in; they are not enemies.”

Anda patiently and earnestly tried to appease Marum with language from 40,000 years in the future, lest Astartes glare at him and send the people of the city to meet Anubis that very day.

"The religious trial triggered by Lavist indirectly led to the massacre of some Persian caravans, so much so that Cyrus II of the Persian Empire conquered Egypt 70 years later."

"Well, I've digressed. Before that, Rome, which was expanding everywhere, would come here to plunder, starting its conquests from Thebes in Upper Egypt. That's what I want to see, to find out the conspiracy of some devil."

Aaron had already stretched out his hands, waiting to be tied up by these people;

"Demons, those things Guilliman is dealing with? So they appeared so early on."

Listening to the three of them babbling incoherently, Gert's nostrils twitched, and he began to curse:

"What are you babbling about! Disrespecting God is a serious crime, punishable by a fine of 10 deben or imprisonment and ten years of hard labor!"

Anda finally finished checking her luggage, then, supporting her back, burst into laughter:

"Keep an eye on these things for me."

"Let's go, we have a place to stay tonight, and we don't have to worry about anyone stealing our luggage."

Lavist's guards stood there dumbfounded. What were these guys talking about?!

They were completely ignored!

This is no ordinary blasphemy; we must take strong measures!

Gert cursed under his breath, thinking, "These damn out-of-towners don't know any manners. They're forcing us to resort to violence."

He waved his hands to the left and right, and his men nodded, put down their weapons, and walked over, each clutching their wrists.

But the moment they took a step forward, they each fell to the ground for different reasons, unable to move forward.

Aaron leaned closer to his father and whispered:
