Warhammer: I don’t want to become an evil god!!

They didn't use the emperor as their anchor, but rather Qin Yun.

These heroic warriors only slowly dissipated after Qin Yun withdrew his power.

Of course, Qin Yun left behind Saint Gilles.

Even though it's just a fragment of a soul, it has to work now that it's back.

Qin Yun planned to have Saint Gilles follow the player to find his soul fragments.

That way, the resurrection speed will be much faster.

As for why they didn't follow Mephisto...

This is because the player and Qin Yun are one.

The current Saint Gillespie exists solely because of Qin Yun.

Without Qin Yun, he would revert to being a fragment of a soul, so he could only follow the player.

In that way, Qin Yun's power can maintain the original state.

The Battle of Signas has ended.

Qin Yun also collected the light spots that flowed out of Nago's body.

I initially thought this was the blood of the god of chaos.

But once collected,

Qin Yun then realized that these things were not blood.

Instead, they were cubes of various shapes, each radiating a hazy glow and covered with ancient characters.

Just as Qin Yun was wondering what these things were,

A golden light curtain appeared.

They explained in detail to Qin Yun the origin and uses of these cubes.

"These are concepts and laws inherent to Nurgle himself!!"

Qin Yun's eyes widened in shock.

Who would have thought that what flowed from that fat otaku's wound wasn't blood, but rather the very concept and laws of his own existence?

These concepts and laws might just be the legendary blood of the gods!

It's also possible that the Chaos Gods no longer have physical bodies; their forms are composed of concepts and laws, which is why they are so powerful and omnipotent.

The fleet of Chaos traitors that came with the Chaos Gods decisively chose to retreat after seeing the gods banished.

However, how could the many commanders of the empire just watch their credit slip away? They decisively chose to pursue them.

Relying on powerful firepower and speed,

Several hours later, they successfully wiped out all the traitors.

Just as the battle was winding down, Guilliman and Lane sent their communication requests.

"Let's connect them, so they can feel at ease."

Qin Yun knew about his actions in mobilizing the Chosen Ones and the Imperial Army this time.

It was absolutely impossible to hide it from the two Primarchs.

I need to tell them about the situation here, and also mention the Midnight Lord.

He had previously mentioned Talos's plan to establish a kingdom with the Midnight Lords.

However, before they could even speak, they received a distress call from Mephisto.

We had no choice but to rush over here to help.

Now that we have the opportunity, let's talk about this together.

"Yes, Master. I will immediately re-establish communication with the two Primarchs." Xiling switched back to her original loli voice.

Compared to his earlier domineering presence as he fought against several demons, it was truly a stark contrast.

The projection appeared in front of Qin Yun.

Guilliman and Lane were seen in it.

Through the communication window, they gazed at Signas, where the fighting had just subsided.

The battlefield, billowing with thick black smoke, clearly showed how fierce the battle was.

"saint."

"saint."

Guilliman and Lane visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

They learned from the governments of Terra and the Calicus sector that the Chosen Ones were sent to the battlefield immediately after their resurrection, taking with them a large amount of military supplies.

Meanwhile, a large support fleet was also rushing to Signas day and night.

They knew something serious had happened.

Now that the battle has ended and the Sage is safe and sound, they can finally rest assured.

"How could such a large-scale conflict have broken out?!"

Ryan received information about the battlefield of Signas through the instant messaging network and was shocked to learn that even the Chaos Gods had appeared.

It's important to understand that even during the War of Horus, it was only during the War of Terra that the Chaos Gods descended to fight the Emperor, using Horus as their anchor point.

In the Battle of Signus, all the Chaos Gods actually revealed themselves.

"Naturally, it's for..."

Qin Yun took a step back, and an angel shrouded in radiance with pure white wings appeared before the two Primarchs.

Guilliman and Lane's eyes widened instantly.

Ah!

No!

The real Saint Gilles has also been resurrected!!

"Is this true?" Ryan was so excited he was incoherent.

At that moment, a head suddenly pushed aside the lion and squeezed in front of the screen.

"Father, is that you?"

Azrael frowned, his Primarch being pushed aside so easily!

That's outrageous!

When Ryan saw Azrael's pale face, he shook his head at him, indicating that he shouldn't bother with such trivial matters.

“Saint Gilles has finally returned! That’s wonderful! We brothers can fight side by side again.” Guilliman was also very excited.

"Lobout, it's been a long time." Saint Gilles gently flapped his wings, his voice as gentle as ever.

"Yes, it's been a long time. I haven't seen you since we parted ways with Devon."

Guilliman felt a pang of sadness as he recalled the past.

His heart broke when he saw Saint Gilles' body.

How could Horus go so far?!

Perhaps sensing Guilliman's mood, Saint Gilles smiled.

"Robert, you can't be late anymore."

"We agreed to face Horus together, but I was the only one who got hammered by him."

"You two only came after the Battle of Terra was over, especially you, Robout. I heard you even dismantled my Blood Angels Legion. Tell me, were you planning to legitimize your Second Empire back then?"

“No wonder you’re launching the Codex Astartes.” Ryan pushed Dante aside, who was almost crying, and returned to the communication screen. “So you want to legitimize the Second Empire. Are you planning to take over the position of Emperor while Saint Gilles is away?”

Guilliman, who had been somewhat saddened, suddenly widened his eyes.

Looking at the phantom of Saint Gilles,

Goodness, it looks golden on the outside, but it's all black on the inside!

Damn it, when did I ever think about legitimizing the Second Empire?

I have been utterly loyal to the empire and to my father, and yet you just spout nonsense.

I almost cried for you just now, give me back my sincere heart!!

Euton's mother said that the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie.

She definitely omitted the rest.

That means the more handsome a man is, the more likely he is to lie.

Guilliman thought to himself, "Saint Gilles is quite the schemer. He's only a fragment, yet he's already so good at criticizing others."

Damn it, my previous appearance must have been a facade!!

P.S.: Another chapter. Thank you all for your support.

Chapter 257 Celebrating Victory and Rewarding Meritorious Service

"The dismantling of the legions was to prevent the Great Astartes from becoming too powerful. If I hadn't promoted the Astartes Codex, the empire would have fallen apart long ago."

"I have no interest in the position of Emperor of the Empire. When the war ends, whoever takes the throne can take it. I'm not going to take it. I want to travel. This universe is so big, I want to see it."

Guilliman waved his hands and loudly defended himself.

Qin Yun and Ryan both laughed when they saw this.

They knew, of course, that Saint Gilles wasn't really accusing Guilliman.

It was just to bring up a topic to lighten the mood.

"Alright, I see. So the Imperial Regent actually harbors a dream of being a traveler," Saint Gilles said sarcastically.

"Alright, let's get down to business. Although the War of Signus is over, there are some issues that need to be pointed out, namely, the influence of the Chaos Gods on the real universe is increasing." Ryan steered the conversation to the main topic.

"It seems a lot has happened since my fall," Saint Gilles said.

“Those abominable things can now manifest in the real universe without a large-scale sacrifice.”

During the Battle of Terra, the Chaos Gods needed a significant amount of bloodshed, death, and Horus as an anchor point to project their power into the real universe.

Now, they don't need to do that; they can manifest themselves.

This suggests that the Milky Way is about to become the backyard of the gods.

"The large fissure has opened up."

Qin Yun opened a projection of the Milky Way, which featured a dazzling array of stars.

In the projection, it can be clearly seen that the vast Milky Way has been torn apart by an astonishing crack.

"The end times have arrived, and the final moment that will determine the fate of mankind is approaching."

"If we can win this war, human civilization will be reborn from the ashes and become the most brilliant civilization in the galaxy, and even the universe."

"If we fail, the story of humanity will come to an end, and even the galaxy may be turned into a terrible hell for the Chaos Gods to play with."

Saint Gilles stared intently at the projection, his eyes slightly furrowed. "Has the situation become this dire?"

"Yes." Qin Yun nodded. "Human civilization has been driven to the brink of destruction. It must either fight to the death or be completely destroyed."

“The situation is indeed very bad.” Ryan nodded as well. “The bad news from the Dark Side of the Empire has never stopped. As soon as the Star Speakers enter the warp, they can hear countless worlds screaming.”

"There is still hope, brothers. As long as we stand united, even if we face the gods, we may still have a chance," Guilliman clenched his fist, his face full of confidence. "We still have the saint, we still have our father, and this battle can still be fought."

“Yes, we still have a chance,” Qin Yun echoed Guilliman’s words. “Although the situation is terrible now, there is still hope.”

"The premise is that we must put aside all concerns and suspicions, cooperate sincerely, and ensure that the things that happened during the Great Expedition never happen again. The current empire can no longer withstand any betrayal."

“Yes, Horus turned to the Chaos Gods out of suspicion, and Father chose to shoulder the responsibility of saving mankind alone because he did not trust others. We are also full of suspicion among ourselves.” Saint Gilles’ voice was tinged with sorrow.

By the end of the Great Crusade, humanity's military strength was sufficient to sweep aside any force in the galaxy.

Everyone firmly believes that no force can harm humanity anymore, and that human civilization will usher in a brilliant era, returning to its former glory.
