Warhammer: Expedition to the Multiverse from 30k

He didn't believe that this matter would end so easily.

Keeping the temple in place for now would actually allow more room for maneuver. At least we have to wait until he has collected all the clues before carrying out the destructive bombing.

"We have already issued extermination orders to so many planets, is this one still missing?" The lion was puzzled. The solution was clearly right in front of him, so why was his brother so pedantic?

"Do you still remember how many of your five hundred worlds refused to surrender and had to be bombed with extermination orders before they surrendered?" Ryan asked cunningly.

"Thirty-eight, or thirty-nine if you count Nuceria of Angron."

Guilliman answered without hesitation and asked a counter-question, "If you need, I can recite their names to you now."

Lion cursed Guilliman's damn memory in his heart. Although in fact all the Primarchs could remember everything they had experienced, almost no one would do so.

Only Guilliman, damn Guilliman, he was just a Theorist computer in human form.

At this tense moment, it was impossible for Roche and Sanguinius to sit back and watch the quarrel between the two continue. Given the two's violent state, it would not be surprising if they really fought each other.

Of course, Luo Xi didn't think his best friend would be able to get the upper hand at Ryan's hands.

That was Lion the Lion after all, one of the most capable and militant Primarchs.

"Calm down first and don't argue." Luo Xi advised.

"I veto the extermination order, Lion, in the name of the Regent of the Second Empire." Sanguinius pressed his palm on the strategic table, and the Lion and Guilliman stopped and turned to look at their Emperor.

"I can tell you that the temple below, the building called Delphos, is a portal that leads to the path to solving the problem. If we issue an extermination order, it will cut off our path to redeem everything."

Luo Xi was surprised at the confidence shown by Saint-Gilius. The archangel seemed very sure that he was right. Was his magical prophecy taking effect again?

He spoke up and supported Sanguinius' decision.

"The test we face cannot be solved by simple brute force. Everyone calm down. The long journey and the incomprehensible things we encountered along the way have exhausted us mentally and physically."

The plague garden encountered in the warp, the skull planet on the edge of the Daven system, and the isolated temple on this planet.

They all have their own symbolic meanings, rather than simply material concepts.

"The Ruinstorm is a huge wave that the Word Bearers raised in the Warp through sacrifice, and the matter of the Sea of ​​Souls is obviously not something that can be solved by simple physical means. Those are symbolic enemies, so naturally our means of attack must also be symbolic."

"This war has already gone beyond the realm of reason. Why do we think that destroying Daven Planet can solve the subspace storm? Is this a mental inertia trap set by the enemy for us?"

Guilliman mused, and Sanguinius was pleased that Roche had expressed his innermost thoughts.

This is the place where Horus fell and where everything began, and this is its symbolic significance.

"I think you are just imagining things, brothers. Victory is just around the corner." Ryan still maintained his stubborn opinion. He was too confident and too eager for success.

Sanguinius looked at his brother who had lost his composure and said in a steady voice, "Lion, when Horus came here, he was just as confident as you are. He didn't think anything could threaten him when he was surrounded by the Sons of Horus Legion."

The Archangel used Horus as an example to refute Lion, which immediately caused extreme dissatisfaction among the Calibans.

"Horus? You mean the corrupted Warmaster who betrayed the Emperor?"

When mentioning the word Warmaster, Ryan became obviously sarcastic, which was also the point that had been bothering him.

"I have no intention of exonerating him, but we have to admit how outstanding Horus was in the past. He is a well-deserved Warmaster. All the brothers acknowledge this. We never thought that Horus would betray us, not even our father."

"Any indifference and carelessness will lead to failure. I will walk the path Horus once took and see what caused him to fall. Prepare a drop chamber for me. I will take the Blood Angels to orbit and land on Davin."

When the archangel showed his majesty, no one dared to contradict or refute him. Not even Lion could stop Sanguinius' actions.

Azkaelon held the Primarch's Spear of Bigong in both hands, while Sanguinius held the Scarlet Sword himself and disappeared into the corridor of the ship with the Holy Blood Guard.

Sanguinius found it difficult to describe what he saw in words. The prophecy told him that he must go to that planet and face what was destined, only then would everything be resolved.

He could defy fate, as long as he didn't go down, the prophecies wouldn't happen, and Sanguinius wouldn't have to die at the hands of Horus, but the Archangel's answer was - "No!"

He must come to that inevitable time node, the place where the threads of fate are intertwined, and he will use his own strength to open up a path of survival that he expects.

The Blood Angels who had been on standby responded to the order from the Gene-Father. They quickly entered the orbital drop chamber. After releasing the safety locks on the cabin deck, one by one the Blood Angels left the New Caliban via orbital drop.

They were like falling meteors, rubbing violently against the atmosphere of the planet Daven, leaving behind long tail flames reaching all the way to the sky.

Ryan's face turned pale. Sanguinius's behavior was incomprehensible to him. Why, why were his brothers so unreasonable.

"Are you leaving too, Guilliman?"

At the side, Lord Macragge also put on his helmet. The fully armed Guilliman obviously intended to take the initiative to attack.

"Yes, Lion, we can't let Sanguinius go alone, I think he is right."

"You are a little too extreme. Maybe you need to take a good rest for a while and relax your mental stress, right?"

Roxi shrugged helplessly and said with his back to Lion that he and Curze who was imprisoned in the Iron Man followed. As the person who knew Guilliman best, he was very worried that the other party would have brain congestion again and go crazy again without hesitation.

Ryan Johnson was the only one left at the strategy table.

He placed his hands on the table, staring at the changing projection of Daven Star and the Blood Angels that had already airdropped.

Hou Guin and Red Ross were guarding in a corner nearby, while the lion exuded a deep, oppressive aura, as if a mountain with no top in sight had fallen.

Ryan looked at the scarlet button he often used, with a fierce light in his eyes.

Faced with the different attitudes of Daven, the consensus among the Primarchs was broken in a short period of time. Sanguinius chose to land on the planet with his troops to find out, while Lion thought it would be better to just bomb it with an extermination order.

Guilliman also thought that Llane had become too radical and arrogant, and he was more inclined to Sanguinius's attitude.

The lion only felt the anger surging in his heart, almost materializing. Why, why were they unwilling to listen to him?

Why are they so conceited? Does Sanguinius think he is invincible?

It was obvious that they only needed to destroy the planet Devin, and then they could leave this damn extreme star field and return to Terra.

The Emperor is waiting for him, and countless rebels are waiting for him to kill and clean up.

He silently grabbed the armrest of the table beside him. The terrifying force almost pressed his fingers into the metal. The lion took deep breaths to suppress his emotions.

Hou Guin and Red Ross on the side saw the suppressed rage of the Father of Genes. The blood connection derived from the genes made them feel that Ryan was as violent as a volcano about to erupt.

"The Ninth Legion is landing on the planet Daven, and the Thirteenth Legion is preparing for a large-scale landing, sir." Hou Guin said, looking at the data displayed on the dashboard.

"What should we do?" Grand Master Redros of the Dreadwing seemed eager to try. He thought that Ryan's anger came at the right time. "They are going their own way, and we are right, my lord."

Lion sensed the hint from his offspring, who was implicitly suggesting that he complete the Dark Angels' mission - to save the Empire.

In order to save the empire, he would pay any price, even if it meant killing his brothers.

Yes, he is right.

Loyalty, a firm voice sounded in Ryan's heart.

Go ahead, for the sake of loyalty, everything can be sacrificed.

"Yes, the Dark Angels take loyalty as their duty. Loyalty is everything to us."

Ryan's hand moved towards the scarlet button. Once pressed, the entire battleship would respond to his orders.

Deadly weapons such as the star destroyer cannon, light spear array, vortex torpedoes, etc. on the bow will be unleashed in full force.

Captain Stannis had a blank expression on his face, his own emotions almost disappeared. As long as the Primarch gave an order, he would execute it, even if the planet below was Holy Terra.

"Davin is very dangerous. The abnormality shown by Sanguinius shows that he has been affected by an unknown factor. This is a dirty and dangerous place. It is unwise to land there. I must clear it out."

Go ahead, Ryan.

The voice in his heart became louder and louder, and Ryan could hardly hear the subtle sounds of the mechanical servants walking inside the ship.

"But if I destroy it now, I will also destroy the 9th Legion and Sanguinius, and turn against Roboute Guilliman." The Lion thought, wondering if it was worth it.

But you have no other choice, Lion, you are the most loyal heir. Sanguinius has wavered and is about to throw himself into the evil embrace of the Warp.

What you have done is just, and these are just necessary sacrifices. If the angels have been corrupted, you will be dragged to death in the Davin system.

Do what you want, a necessary evil, just like before.

Ryan could hardly hear the sounds from the outside world. Everything was silent in his ears. He seemed to hear his own thoughts. His right hand slowly stretched out.

However, not everyone will obey Llane's orders unconditionally. Redros of the Dreadwing desires destruction, but at least Grand Master Houguin of the Deathwing still has his own thoughts.

Hou Gu's inner uneasiness was magnified. He found that his respected genetic father seemed vaguely...something was not right. He was about to give the order to bomb Dai Wenxing.

The Grand Master of Deathwing thought that he should stand up, as Ryan was walking on an extremely dangerous edge.

Civil unrest at this time would only give the Warp a golden opportunity, and this would destroy the Empire's hopes.

Sanguinius has already landed, followed by Guilliman, Roche and Curze. If they take action now, they will have no chance of survival.

"Sir." Hou Guin walked up to him and called softly, "Please think twice."

Hou Guin's voice penetrated the whispers, and the Lion King was suddenly stunned. He suddenly realized that his son had come in front of him without him knowing, and he immediately stopped what he was doing.

"What did I just do?" Ryan felt the long-lost fear, and his blood seemed to freeze.

He saw his hand resting on the scarlet button, feeling somewhat unbelievable.

Just now he seemed to have had an extremely real dream, in which another "him" was guiding the lion to make a decision.

"I want to kill my brother? Just to speed up the defense?"

"How am I different from Horus?"

Hou Guin was frightened by the lion king's appearance and nodded hesitantly.

Ryan pulled out his Lion Sword with a swish. The blade, which had not yet activated the decomposition force field, rubbed against the wrist armor, making a sharp whistling sound.

He was breathing so heavily that the dark angels beside him could even hear the sound of his breathing like a bellows, as if he had just gone through a difficult battle.

"Almost, almost, I'm about to take action."

The rage and anxiety in Ryan's heart were immediately poured with a basin of Fenris ice water, and the IQ of the Caliban people's brains came online again, becoming as elusive as the dark forest.

He realized that something was wrong with him. Why was he so eager to destroy Devin? Why did he not hesitate to attack his own blood relatives for this purpose?

An unknown existence is quietly influencing him. It is not a simple corruption, nor a whisper of temptation, but an invisible guidance and a subtle change.

This change seeped in after he had used the extermination order time and again, and continued to give psychological hints.

This is an invisible distortion.

At the last moment, Ryan finally came to his senses after being reminded by Hou Guin.
