Warhammer: My Biological Father Emperor and My Demigod Brother

"What a strange world! It's so cold, but there are lights in the distance!"

Aaron climbed the cliff and looked into the distance. On the other side of the horizon, the dawn that seemed never to come was stuck at that point.

The land bathed in sunlight presents a stark contrast to the frozen plains.

It looks warm and cozy.

However, the starlight did not move an inch. Aaron stared intently at the edge where light and darkness intertwined, and half an hour passed without any change in the dividing line.

This means that the world may be permanently divided into night and day.

Each of them has land shrouded in eternal darkness and the sun, and they can never meet again.

Damn, can any civilization survive in such a harsh environment?

The fact that I have never been here before suggests that there is an unknown younger brother living here.

Such an environment is not even sufficient to support an ecosystem to form a food chain.

Stones, stones are everywhere.

The frozen stone has an eerie black color, signifying its stubbornness and resistance to life.

No, there's no time to continue observing the environment. He needs to find his younger brother nearby as soon as possible and check on his living conditions!

If my dear younger brother really has to live by chewing on stones in this world—

Aaron recalled what Marum had mentioned: Astartes could eat almost anything, even dirt.

As the original genesis of Astartes, the younger brothers must also be able to eat stones.

"Click, click, click—"

Aaron was startled; he thought he really heard the sound of stones being chewed. It was a truly terrifying sound, because it was exactly the same as chewing bones or tearing meat with teeth.

Good heavens, could the stone under my feet be alive?

He was afraid to peek out and see a tall but rough-looking savage human who lived by eating stones.

Fortunately, the sound of gears turning behind the clicking noises caught Aaron's attention, allowing him to look out and see the passage buried beneath the frozen stone.

Some of the connection points are directly exposed to the air, passing through carriage-like equipment.

It was clearly a creation of civilization, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. If someone could build machines in this icy wasteland, it meant that the civilization here at least had basic scientific knowledge.

At least the food was cooked.

He hurriedly ran towards these passageways, shouting loudly in hopes of attracting people's attention.

But he also knew that he might not be discovered by the people of this native world until he got close to his younger brother.

After all, his only connection to these future timelines is his younger brothers.

(30K Emperor: ?)

Perhaps it truly was fate. Below the cliff where he stood, there was a semi-open tunnel entrance. A massive steel train could be seen passing by at the other end of the tunnel.

The people here are constrained by geological conditions and cannot build tracks that are completely hidden underground. Therefore, they can only expose some tracks to mitigate the damage to the extremely fragile environment.

The car that happened to be passing by seemed to have noticed Aaron's presence.

The train began to slow down, aligning the opening of one of the carriages with the opening of the tunnel.

He thus saw the signs and flags on those railcars.

Symbols are an inevitable product of civilization reaching a certain stage, and are, after all, the best way to establish identity.

This will remain true even tens of thousands of years later.

The flags were frozen, but appeared to be made of a special material.

Although it looks hard, it is not broken, and a horizon is carved on it.

An arrow was aimed at the stars in the sky and shot out.

Rumbling--

A tremendous sound of mechanical transmission and air pressure flow could be heard from the stopped carriage.

The exposed carriage and the surrounding environment of the carriages in front and behind were cut off, and then the carriage doors opened. A huge figure wearing what appeared to be a leather-like sealing material jumped out.

It's clear that the level of technological development here is much higher than Yaren had imagined. Otherwise, there would be no way to survive in such an environment.

If you were to move all the people from Athens here, it would probably take less than two hours for them all to turn into frozen sculptures on the ice field.

Alas, tens of thousands of years later, people will all be living on different stars.

But the environments on these stars are rarely habitable, no wonder that old man didn't let himself go out and run people over.

"Hey, I'm here, look this way!"

Aaron waved his hand happily, completely unaware of the terror in the eyes of those peering out from the other carriages.

After their leader noticed the figure running across the frozen plains, the ordinary people of Invit finally saw the guy who was barely wearing any clothes and yet was able to hop around in that desperate environment.

This was no different from seeing a ghost. The cold weather outside was unbearable for any living thing; even stones were frozen into those horrible shapes.

A living person standing outside waving at them—it's probably like the sirens from ancient legends, who supposedly lured sailors back when the ocean still existed.

The planet Invit does indeed have legends about the sea, but those are stories recorded in books passed down from long ago.

It might even be something that happened in another world, only brought here by humans. But ancestors, what horrors did you witness that made you flee to such a vibrant hell!

If Dorn hadn't kept insisting that he really saw someone running from a distance,

Otherwise, their plan to ascend to the heavens would never have stopped, and now it has reached its most critical moment. Any pause only delays their escape from this dangerous home planet.

"Ah, I've finally met you, my dear brother. Wait, let me explain. Although I know it's quite strange that someone like me is in such a harsh natural environment, given that I might not be a living being in my current state, there's no need to worry."

Aaron blurted out before the giant could move even as he approached him.

To avoid the younger brother being overly cautious and accidentally punching him to death, something that has happened many times before.

Although we will eventually be able to convince these younger brothers of the facts before us, it's always good to share as much information as possible sooner rather than later.

“I am Aaron Well, and your brother. Our father was the supreme King of the Gods, but also a despicable old man with no bottom line. When you were born, for some unknown reason, he caused you to be lost in this galaxy. The galaxy, you know? Those stars you see above your head. Each star could potentially be a world with life. Many of our brothers are in these worlds.”

As Aaron met more and more of his brothers and learned about the workings of the universe, his explanations gradually became more scientific, no longer resembling the original story of a god-king training his demigod son.

He stared expectantly, trying to see the giant's eyes through the visor on the giant's helmet, but unfortunately, the giant had been standing in front of him ever since.

Aside from slightly bowing his head to listen to his voice, he made no other move.

If it weren't for the cold wind blowing around, causing the devices on the protective suit to sway,

Otherwise, Aaron would have truly thought that the motionless giant before him was a frozen stone statue.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. The two stared at each other, and for a moment neither of them could say a word.

Until the giant finally spoke:

“I am Roger Dorn, I am listening, please continue.”

Aaron's face finally relaxed, a slight smile appearing on his face:

"You scared me to death! I thought you'd frozen to death by now after running out."

Dorn's tone never changed, making Aaron wonder if he spoke every word at the same volume.

“My companions don’t really like this kind of dry humor. They always tell me to shut up, just give orders, and not to make too many comments. Otherwise, they say my humor is like the cold wind on this icy plain, only capable of shattering even the most frozen rocks.”

"Now I'm starting to believe we might be brothers."

Aaron suddenly panicked and hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands, saying:

"No, no! You should be more vigilant, or even kill me the moment you see me."

"How can you be so patient and listen to me without any suspicion? My appearance should be quite abrupt in your worldview. You shouldn't be so careless!"

His sense of responsibility as the older brother greatly displeased him. Hands on hips, head held high, cheeks puffed out, he shouted:

"You should have tested me carefully, even if it meant attacking me from a distance with a weapon. But instead, you ran right up to me and listened to me talk for so long without showing any sign of wariness. Oh dear! How strange!"

"If I had any ill intentions towards you, you wouldn't be able to avoid me at all, being so close."

The older brother is getting a little impatient right now; the younger brothers probably don't know how dangerous the Star Sea is yet.

Or is it that Dorne's behavior is different from the other brothers?

After patiently waiting for Aaron to finish venting his frustrations, Dorn slowly began to speak:

"Inwet is a place where people have suffered greatly, but we have come together under the power of nature in order to find a better home."

“My grandfather once told me that I must protect anyone who seeks help. So when I see someone running across the tundra in thin clothes, I know I have to come and save you.”

“However, you are right about one thing. I should indeed be cautious. After all, your appearance is unusual. I was originally going to invite you to board our train directly, but now I need to find out the truth to avoid your presence posing a threat to my people.”

Dorn is a very attentive listener. Even if there isn't much feedback sometimes, he does take it to heart.

He began to remove his protective suit, revealing the shirt underneath.

The giant himself could survive in this harsh environment, but he preferred to take off the clothes and drape them over Aaron.

"Now we have plenty of time to talk. By the way, do you want anything to eat? I have some energy bars with me."

Dorn took out some stick-like objects that looked no different from stones from his tactical backpack, broke them slightly, and put them in his mouth to chew.

He handed the other half to Aaron, who was somewhat delighted, thinking he could enjoy some local specialty.

But when I chewed this so-called energy bar, my mouth felt dry.

Indeed, something dissolved and was poured into the throat to replenish the body's needs.

But the taste is indescribable; even eating dirt would be better than this!

Fortunately, I'm not a physical being. I can just stop eating this kind of thing in the future.

"Okay, you're being a bit cautious, but not tough enough. When dealing with your hypothetical enemy, you should act swiftly and decisively, not like this, which looks more like entertaining guests."

Aaron swallowed the energy bar in his mouth and started finding fault again.

Then I thought again, was it a bit too harsh to say so many rebuttals so soon after we met?

After all, the people here may be incredibly united because of the harsh natural environment, so there may no longer be any conflicts between races or nations.
