Warhammer: Expedition to the Multiverse from 30k

Some people fought with cross swords to defend the beliefs in their hearts.

Some people waved their swords and cut off the enemy's heads, shouting "Long live the motherland!"

But their spirit and will are the same, which is why they resonate with Leman Russ and appear from the warp to help the Wolf King fight together.

If the Wolf King and the Warmaster fought in some other arena, such as the surface of a planet, the aftermath of their attack could cause volcanoes to erupt, oceans to send tsunamis flying, and even the planet itself to collapse and be destroyed in the aftermath of the battle.

But the Spirit of Vengeance has become a conceptual existence. It is the altar prepared by the gods of the Warp for Horus and the Emperor, where the true master of mankind will be born.

Horus believed that when he killed the Emperor he would become the new Lord of Mankind.

Therefore, the Spirit of Vengeance would never be destroyed, and the aftermath of the battle between the two was neutralized and eliminated by the power of the subspace here.

Horus' every move was haunted by the power of Chaos from the depths of the Warp, and the Wolf King countered it with the ancient magic of Fenris.

No matter how hard the Space Wolves claim to be, the rune power of Fenris is a relatively safe psychic energy. It is a general term for the gentle power that has been devoured and digested by Fenris's [World Soul].

Leman Russ is like Odin, the father of the gods in the ancient Earth mythology. He holds the divine spear Gungnir and fights against the giants of destruction who are about to destroy Asgard at the time of Ragnarok.

But history always seems to have similarities. The Father of the Gods could not prevent the destruction of Asgard and the demise of the World Tree. Even Leman Russ, who tried his best, could not stop the hammer and claws of Horus.

He had indeed done his best, liberating his own warp power and obtaining the Spear of Dionysus containing the power of the Emperor.

Russ's faith and will were far greater than his past self in the decisive battle with Magnus on Prospero.

"No, I still can't defeat this monster..."

"All-Father, he is too powerful."

The chaotic power of the Warmaster was superior to the arcane magic of Russ in both quality and quantity. In the war of attrition between the two sides, the Wolf King became more and more embarrassed and passive.

Suddenly, Leman Russ was shocked and he figured out something.

He came here not to defeat Horus, but to pierce the Spear of Dionysus into his body.

For this, he could pay any price, and he had made up his mind to die here long before he joined the ship.

Leman Russ wielded the Spear of Dionysus more swiftly and flexibly, and no longer tried to block the terrifying claws of the Wolf God.

Horus left several deep scratches on his brother's armor, almost tearing him into pieces. The Wolf King felt the severe pain from the wounds on his body and burst into the most powerful roar.

"Wake up!"

Horus' claws tore through the Wolf King's shoulder armor, causing countless pieces of armor to fall and scatter. The decomposition field broke the Fenris rune in it, and suddenly countless frosty air currents were released, trying to freeze Horus' attack.

The Warmaster used his power claws to penetrate his brother's arm, then his chest, nearly tearing Leman Russ in two.

But Rus also seized this opportunity that cost his life. Regardless of his own injuries, he injected the last of his strength into the Spear of Dionysus, piercing the most vulnerable part of the Terminator Armor from the side and piercing into Horus' flesh.

Horus looked at his waist and abdomen in disbelief, and bright red blood slowly flowed out.

That was not the polluted blood of the Warp, but the blood of a human.

The power of the Spear of Dionysus burst out, and the Emperor's might expelled the Warp energy that permeated the Warmaster. Soul fire and psychic lightning gushed out from the cracks in the armor and ignited on the bodies of Lupercal and Leman Russ at the same time.

The violent energy fluctuations almost knocked the Spear of Dionysus away, but Leman Russ suppressed this power tightly, allowing it to remain in his brother's body.

Horus staggered backwards, intense trance and painful struggle emerging from his inhuman face.

He looked at his brother who had thrust the Spear of Dionysus into his body.

"Ruth...what am I doing..."

Chapter 472 The Emperor's Summons

At the moment when the Wolf King stabbed the Spear of Dionysus into Horus' body, a resonance spanning time and space sounded in different places in the galaxy.

In the Imperial Palace of Terra, deep within the immense Golden Throne, the Emperor, who was suppressing the Webway with all his might, suddenly raised his head.

The increasingly haggard Lord of Humanity stared blankly in a certain direction of the Milky Way. His sight traveled across a long distance and saw his two sons who were fighting for life and death at this moment.

"Horus..."

"my son."

The eyes of the Lord of Mankind were filled with endless anger and hatred, but not towards Horus. He stared straight into the void before him, as if he could cross the barrier of the curtain and talk directly to the four evil gods of the Warp.

"Why did you kill my son?"

"Why!"

An extremely deep sadness emerged from the emperor. At this moment, the man who carried everything in his heart could no longer remain calm and composed.

No matter how he said that "the primarchs are tools" and "necessary sacrifices for the great cause", they were still his most beloved sons.

He had devoted all his efforts to teach his eldest son everything about being a human being and about war, and kept him by his side for thirty years. They were father and son, monarch and subject, and close friends.

Horus understood how much his father longed to unify the scattered human race again, and how much he hoped that mankind would return to the open and powerful golden age of the past.

Horus also tried his best to help the Emperor realize his dream. He became his father's proud warmaster and exercised his power and dreams on his behalf.

Even though the betrayal started by Horus almost destroyed the hope of human revival, the Emperor did not resent Horus. He knew that his eldest son was the first Primarch to sacrifice in this human civil war.

He was an unfortunate being forcibly corrupted by the four Chaos Gods in order to interrupt the dream of human revival.

No matter who was the Warmaster, the Four Gods would have corrupted him, and Horus became that person simply because he was too good.

The Spear of Dionysus was a divine weapon forged by him, which contained the great power of the Emperor himself. It was through this induction that he knew about the brotherly fight taking place inside the Spirit of Vengeance.

He witnessed Leman Russ stabbing the name of Dionysus into Horus' body, and felt the last of Horus' kind soul barely awakened under the influence of this power.

But it is not enough, the gods of the Warp have discovered all of this, Leman Russ is not enough!

"Roshi, I need you."

Psychic power beyond imagination surged, and Roche, who was far away on Ganymede, suddenly felt the scene change and appeared next to the familiar golden throne.

He looked at all this in astonishment, at the Emperor's expression of extreme pain and helplessness.

"Nios?"

He immediately realized that something major had happened, so much so that the emperor couldn't wait to teleport him into the palace.

Because the Emperor sent most of his spirit and strength into the Webway to suppress the Warp demon enemies there, he would hardly allow himself to be distracted to do other things.

The emperor in his eyes was not the brilliant Lord of Humanity, but his former schoolmate. However, the years had brought him too much vicissitudes, like a weathered middle-aged man.

Seeing his sorrowful look, Luo Xi's idea of ​​teasing Neos died down.

"I'm here." Luo Xi said.

"Leman Russ has met Horus, and I sense a battle to the death has broken out between them."

Luo Xi calculated the time. It had been some time since he and the Wolf King separated, so it was not strange for him to encounter Horus.

But, can the Wolf King really defeat Horus?

"When I created each Primarch, I added unconscious entities that I found in the Warp into their bodies. Those Warp entities without self-awareness have great potential, and I injected personality into them."

“I have to anchor them with humanity so that they can truly become human beings.”

The Emperor told the secret of how the Primarch was created: "Leman Russ must have awakened his own essence, so he could pose a fatal threat to Horus."

"Essence?" Luo Xi pondered the word.

He had previously vaguely guessed that the Primarch could not be a simple creation of biotechnology, and now the Emperor himself acknowledged this conjecture.

What was Guilliman's true nature? A crazy office machine? His mind suddenly slid to a strange place like skating.

"Then what do you want me to do? Just tell me directly. No need to be polite."

However, Luo Xi also understood that the emperor asked him to come here not for small talk, but because there were more important things for him to do.

"To make a long story short, an unexpected situation occurred in the war in Betagarmon, and another force chose to intervene, so I hope you can go and help Ryan."

"I still underestimated the determination of those guys. In order to completely destroy the future of mankind, they did not hesitate to reach a greater cooperation to strengthen their power in the real universe."

The emperor's words immediately made Luo Xi more serious. In the emperor's view, even the current expeditionary force of the empire could not fight against those enemies?

In his opinion, even if Lion could not defeat Horus, he could at least weaken their power to an acceptable level, and then abandon Beta Garmon and retreat to the solar system.

But since the Emperor has asked him to go and lend a hand, doesn't that mean that several Primarchs in Betagarmon and their legions are in danger of destruction?

Is it really this serious?

"Take your Iron Legion and join Llane's expeditionary fleet. This time your enemies include a powerful enemy who aspires to be promoted to a Chaos God: you can call him Vashtor."

"Vashtor aspires to become the fifth supreme god, but because of my existence, its wish will never be realized." The Emperor said vaguely.

What is the fifth supreme god?

Luo Xi immediately realized that the old man Neos was hiding something again. He has always been like this, to his son and to himself.

"Is this your attitude when asking for help?" Luo Xi retorted.

The Emperor fell silent.

Whenever he made a request or gave an order to others, no one would disobey or refuse him.

This is rarely due to power and status, but mostly due to the emperor's incredible personal charm.

It was only after meeting the Emperor that Roche realized where the charm of Primarchs like Guilliman came from, and the source was their father.

Just think about it, when a big, golden guy invites you to accomplish something great and save the human race from danger, is there anyone cold enough to say no?

Perhaps only Roxi, who knew the Emperor's past, could say no. He had to make Neos explain himself clearly.

The emperor realized that his old friend could not be dismissed with just a few words, so he thought for a moment and spoke.

"As you know, there are four Chaos Gods today: Tzeentch, Khorne, Nurgle, and Slaanesh."

"They are the embodiment of four macro concepts, and have their own thoughts and consciousness."

"But for Chaos itself, these four most powerful gods are not all. There are still four vacancies, which means that four more Chaos gods may awaken in the future."

"And inside my body, there is a being called the Dark Lord sleeping. Although I want to deny its existence, we are actually two sides of the same coin."

The Emperor's explanation immediately detonated Roxi's brain, like a nuclear bomb exploding in his mind. He stared blankly at Neos on the throne, still unable to believe what he had heard recently.

"No, I actually believed your lies before. You said you were just a powerful psychic, only a little bit more powerful, not a god-like existence."

"Are you really a fucking god? You even lied to me?"
