Warhammer: Expedition to the Multiverse from 30k

Luo Xi watched the sky burning like a cloud of fire. The continuous bombings fell like raindrops, and finally stirred up countless ripples on the protective shield of the Aegis.

"You've done a great job, really." Sharokin, the first friend Luo Xi met in this era, patted him on the shoulder sincerely and comforted him softly.

Under the illumination of the firelight, Sharokin's pale skin showed a sickly red hue, and the dark pupils of the Son of Corax even began to shed tears instinctively under the stimulation of the intense light.

"I have been following you since the war at Isstvan V. I have seen with my own eyes how you have helped humanity fight against the Chaos rebels."

"If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be fighting so smoothly now. It's just that human power is limited, and you can't fight the will of those bastards in the subspace."

"Yes, father." Iron Man Adam also imitated Sharokin and comforted him.

"According to my calculations, the probability that the enemy can break through the hundreds of defense lines set up by the Empire is only 24.61%. Now that they are here, it is entirely due to the interference and intervention of the gods of the warp."

"The Emperor remains in his prime, Malcador the Sigillite is keeping the logistics system running, Rogal Dorn, Sanguinius, Jaghatai Khan, and Leman Russ are on Terra, and we have not lost hope of victory."

"The Lion King and Midnight Haunter must be desperately trying to get back to our aid. The solar system is ours after all. Horus cannot fight for long."

Roxi took a minute to calm down. Sharokin and Adam were right. Even if Horus cheated, he could not win directly. The current situation would at most speed up the originally long Siege of the Sun.

"The emperor is still here, the sky won't fall, let's see what the emperor says first."

At this moment, the palace conference room was already filled with noise.

Led by Rogal Dorn, a total of four Primarchs guarded the Emperor, with the Grand Marshal of the Guards and the Soulless Queen of the Sisters of Silence serving on his left and right. More mortal commanders stood further away, waiting for the Lord of Mankind to speak.

The heavy roar caused by the rebel bombing seemed to make even the sky collapse, but as long as the Lord of mankind still stood here, no one would feel fear or uneasy.

"My people, my children, my warriors, I am the Emperor." The Lord of Mankind said slowly.

"My rebellious son did not understand what foolish thing he had done. Horus was bewitched by the evil power from the warp and committed an unforgivable crime against the human race."

"As his father, I need to take responsibility for this, no matter what. As a father, I need to apologize to all of you."

The Emperor's speech shocked everyone. He did not say any words of encouragement or inspiration, nor did he use his supreme authority to command others. He simply spoke as a father.

Through the shining golden light on the other person's body, Luo Xi saw a middle-aged man with a tired face. He was already exhausted both physically and mentally.

"I have long known that there will be such a day when I will fight Horus to the final victory. This is the intersection of fate. No matter how hard you try to prevent it from happening, it will still come, but sooner or later."

When the Emperor's voice echoed in everyone's ears, even those iron-blooded war commanders and even those demigod-like Primarchs could not help but be moved.

He is the emperor, the master of mankind, and a god-like being in everyone's eyes.

At this doomsday moment, he was never thinking about his own rule or his great achievements. He was just mourning for the countless deaths of human beings.

Heroes like Admiral Sukasan couldn't help but become teary-eyed and began to shed tears.

Rather than being the Lord of Mankind, the Emperor should perhaps be more accurately called the Protector of Mankind. He is the father of all humans. He may appear serious and dignified at ordinary times, but he always has pure and equal love for every human being.

"All-Father, we can definitely defeat Horus, we definitely can." The Wolf King of Fenris growled, and it seemed that he was planning to fight Horus to the death right now.

The emperor stretched out his hand, silently rubbed Rus's hair, then shook his head gently.

"This is a war between Horus and me. You cannot interfere."

"Go do what you should do, protect more humans from surviving, and complete the mission I have entrusted to you."

His gaze swept over Leman Russ, Rogal Dorn, and Jaghatai in turn, stayed on Sanguinius for two seconds, and finally fell on Roche.

"My friend, I have something to tell you."

When the emperor said this, the entire palace conference room fell into silence.

This was not because everyone had fallen silent, but because the Lord of Mankind had used his powerful psychic powers to directly stop and lock time.

No one except the Sigillite Malcador and the Commander-in-Chief of the Custodes Valdor could hear the contents of this private conversation.

Even Primarchs like Rogal Dorn were no exception.

The reason why even they had to keep the secret was because each Primarch was coveted and watched by the Dark Gods. Although each evil god obtained a genetic Primarch as a trophy, it did not mean that their desires were limited to this.

And if a Primarch accidentally falls into the hands of an evil god in the future, it is very likely that secrets will be leaked.

Luo Xi's heart moved slightly, and he vaguely realized what the emperor wanted to say to him.

About that conversation on the Golden Throne.

"My friend, do you still remember what we talked about when you first stepped onto the Golden Throne?" said the Emperor.

"Of course, I can't forget it." Luo Xi said, "You told me the truth about the future reinforcement plan and the true mission I shoulder."

A smile appeared on the emperor's face, and his smile was very pure. Specific memories are always linked to specific people. When he saw Luo Xi's appearance, he remembered those happy days.

At that time, he didn't need to think about these complicated issues and face the repeated questioning of human nature.

The position of the Lord of Mankind is destined. The person who sits on the position must endure the torture of human nature and conscience again and again until they are completely exhausted.

Roche's existence is the last line of defense, and its importance can even be compared to Vulkan holding the Amulet of Seven Hammers.

"I have planned a beautiful future for mankind. If my plan succeeds, mankind will no longer be coveted by the gods of the warp. Although I have seen a future of failure more than once in this process, I will never admit defeat."

"I have observed and corrected the future countless times, but mistakes still happen, and tragedies repeat themselves in different ways."

"Sometimes I see it's not Horus who rebels, but Guilliman, or Lion, or Dorn."

"My actions are still leading us to that dark future. The destiny of mankind is completely destroyed, and then we become lambs to be slaughtered in the hands of the dark gods of the warp."

"Even if I win the duel between Horus and I this time, I will most likely be unable to completely suppress the awakening of the Dark Lord. I will never let that happen."

"I will never watch the empire I worked so hard to build fall apart, watch my friends die, and watch the race I love become a sacrifice for the birth of a new god."

Luo Xi's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand. He already understood what the emperor meant.

"Is there really no better way?" Luo Xi asked unwillingly.

"Someone has to sacrifice, so why not me?" The Emperor asked, "If sacrificing me alone can solve all these problems, then I am happy to do it."

Luo Xi understood.

Many people think that the Emperor is too cruel and too extreme, but no one can deny that his heart for humanity is extremely pure.

No one has ever been as selfless as the Emperor in treating humanity. In his eyes, humanity is nothing more than a tool and a weapon.

"Now is not the time for me to take action. The siege of Terra will continue until Horus shows up in person. He is still waiting for the most appropriate node of fate.

I will challenge him to a boarding duel immediately. Only when one of us is completely defeated will this human civil war come to an end." The Emperor said firmly.

Now that Horus has not shown up, it means that the other party is also waiting for the Emperor to reveal a flaw first.

The bombing of Terra was a signal and a test. Horus was testing how much patience and confidence his father had.

"My Lord, the Ten Thousand Men will follow you to the death. Your will is the direction of our spears." Constantine Waldo held the Spear of the Sun God in his hand, knelt on one knee with great determination, and swore an oath to the Lord of mankind.

"I never doubted your loyalty, Valdor," the Emperor said soothingly.

"But I have entrusted you with what you can do."

"Now, I will give you the power to travel through the universe, Luo Xi. Don't forget our mission."

Dazzling golden spiritual energy flashed in the Emperor's hand, and slowly condensed into an object shaped like a compass from the Age of Exploration.

Then, the compass fell into Luo Xi's hands.

"You will continue to implement the plan to reinforce the future, but no longer to our future. Instead, you will go to other universes to find a new home for mankind."

"Not all universes are polluted by the Warp. Pure lands must exist. My power will guide and protect your Ark so that you can safely pass through the stormy waves of the inter-universe voyage."

Luo Xi only felt that the Emperor Compass in his hand was extremely heavy. If he really wanted to use this thing, then he would have to embark on a cross-universe voyage and a wandering journey without a definite purpose.

"When did you study other universes? Did you see anything?" Roche said.

The Emperor had not even told him about the research in this area, and he had no idea how the progress was.

"I said a long time ago that the Warp is like the ocean, and each universe is like an isolated island in the ocean. As long as you can go far enough and deep enough in the Warp, you will encounter another island sooner or later."

The Emperor raised his head and looked into the endless void. He seemed to have seen something.

"This must contain extremely terrifying risks. Perhaps some pioneers have tried this before, but they all disappeared in the ocean."

"Crossing the barriers of the universe and heading to a new world, even the thought of this makes my heart beat fast."

Luo Xi didn't know how deeply the Emperor had studied this aspect. After all, he was always like this, and no one could understand all his secrets.

"If I really want to leave, how many people can I take with me?"

At this point, Luo Xi didn't say anything more. He had promised the Chief to travel through time to the future ten thousand years ago, so now he could also promise Neos to cross the barriers of the universe and go to other worlds.

"You can only take the Red Alert. That is the limit of my carrying capacity. To be on the safe side, you can only take that ship.

Secondly, even if you want to take some people with you, the number won’t be large. Every human soul has its own weight, and these people must enter a sleeping state that is infinitely close to death when they leave.”

"According to my observations, matter and souls from other universes will arouse the vigilance of the local universe. The will of the great universe has its own considerations."

"So we have to proceed step by step. If we make too much noise at the beginning, it is very likely to cause the universe to reject us."

The emperor's words made Luo Xi suddenly feel enlightened.

Yes, isn't it the same with those evil creatures from the Warp? When they descend into the real universe, they will be blocked and weakened by the Veil.

Even the Chaos Demon that can shake the world in the subspace can be killed through normal means in the real universe.

They will also be cut down by swords and crushed by tanks.

And if they go to other universes, wouldn’t that be equivalent to the “extraterrestrial life” of their universe?

However, Roxi is different from those powerful polluting and aggressive demons. The will of the universe will not be so dead.

"If it really comes to that, I will bring the gene seeds of each legion, healthy human fertilized eggs, some reliable soldiers and researchers, plus the technology tree backup that I have been perfecting on the Red Alert. Then we may be able to let humans take root again in the alien universe."

Of course, this is the last option, and Luo Xi doesn't want it to come true as long as there is a glimmer of hope.

Chapter 629: The Siege of Terra

Everyone has his or her own mission, and Roche's responsibility is to provide the final guarantee for the future of mankind.

Once the Emperor's path can no longer continue, it will be Roche's turn to start another path. In short, humanity must continue, no matter what method is chosen.

Some people need to persist in this universe and wait for the possible dawn of light, while others need to take unknown risks and go to other universes to take root.
