Warhammer 40: My Fiancée Fulgrim

Logically, since he had just joined the Great Crusade from Nostramore, the hallucinations in Koz's mind shouldn't be too severe. As the Midnight King of Nostramore, Koz shouldn't be so delirious.

The real breakdown of Kurtz's personality, and his true transformation into the Batman Who Laughs, will occur around the time of the Great Rebellion.

Kaska wondered.

He didn't realize it came from within himself.

He was the one who startled and agitated Koz.

In the end, a panting Casca chose to ask for off-field assistance.

After landing in Nostramo and meeting with Coz, the Emperor didn't stay with him for long before leaving on the Emperor Dream.

He seemed to have completely neglected his responsibilities as a father, having only had a brief meeting with Coz before leaving him in the care of Kasgar, Fugrim, Angron, and Rogdorn.

This is a Primarch whose mental state is not very stable!

You just ran away like that?

The thought of this guy leaving Koz to other legions (mostly Horus and Kaska) and then leading the fleet on a grand expedition all by himself is making me a little nervous.

You are the strongest Space Marine I have ever seen.

There are stars in your eyes.

I need to return to Holy Terra to deal with the web channel.

This Koz is a gift I'm giving you.

Oh no, now Casca has become the one with stars in his eyes.

Sometimes, there's a reason why this guy was able to be beaten half to death by nine people who betrayed him.

Fortunately, at least he was left with a few Primarch teammates.

After being persuaded by Fugrim with infectious enthusiasm, Koz finally got down from his position leaning against the wall and came to Kasgar's side with a look of surprise and uncertainty.

Are you really sure his flames won't hurt anyone?

"Yes, I did receive his help. If you don't believe me, I can demonstrate it for you right now."

With that, Angron stepped forward and said to Kasgar, "Come on, let this cautious kid see our power."

Bear!

Flames rose, and under the scorching golden-red light, Angron appeared completely unharmed.

It seems like it might actually work?

Even if their Primarchs were also monsters of the Warp, even if Koz was also a monster of the Warp.

But as long as the flames in Casca's hands do not intend to harm them, they will not be completely annihilated in the flames.

".OK."

With the fact that Angron was unharmed in the flames, Koz finally decided to trust Kasgar and the Emperor.

He stepped forward with a righteous air, nervously closing his eyes, like a prisoner awaiting execution, waiting for the flames of Casca.

That’s right!

What are you afraid of, Phoenix Fire? You're not some spicy chicken strips!

Start the fever!

The raging flames engulfed Koz's entire body in the next instant.

Casca frowned.

Everything is normal, there are no problems.

The flames subsided, and Coz remained standing in the same spot, motionless.

"How about it?"

"Ok?"

"No."

Nothing has changed.

Or rather, Coz has no flaws whatsoever.

Kasgar's flames can only heal physical or spiritual deformities and defects; they cannot eradicate the characteristics of his soul.

The reason he seems a bit neurotic is simply because he knows too many things he shouldn't know.

Psionic prophecy is an innate ability of his; the Warp Fire can only suppress it to a certain extent and cannot completely eradicate Koz's mental problems.

It's impossible to have Casca follow Coz around 24 hours a day, right?

"Even your flames can't do it? Then I'll give it a try?"

Angron stepped forward, somewhat eager to try.

As a Primarch, he naturally possesses his own unique skill—the ability to absorb the negative emotions of others.

Of course, you can't suck too much, otherwise, like last time, Angron would have wanted to just smash his head against the Rebel and die.

Although he disliked Coz's way of ruling—ruling the people through fear and torture, which sounded no different from the slave owners Angron had encountered before.

This made Angron very unhappy.

"They actually have to compromise with those families and the administrators of the Nest City."

"Honestly, if it were me, none of those damned corrupt bureaucrats and their dirty families would survive."

Unfortunately, Nostramore is still the homeworld of Koz, and the recruits of the World Eaters come from the entire human world. Angron is not picky about this, but only requires that they be those who are oppressed and from the lower classes.

If Angron were to actually manage Nostramamo, he might actually be able to turn the place around.

That being said, on the surface, Koz's planet was governed quite well, and even the lower classes had a chance to survive under his iron fist.

While the methods used are debatable, the results are commendable compared to Nostramat's earlier success.

As the Primarch, Angron would naturally not give up the opportunity to save his brother.

Seeing that Koz did not object, Anglon slowly took two steps forward, gently placing his hand on the other's shoulder, feeling the touch of what the other had once received—

No, I can't feel it.

Just as Kasgar couldn't cure Koz, Angron couldn't absorb the pessimism and negativity that came from Koz himself.

I've tried all sorts of methods, but none of them worked.

The Primarchs and Casca looked at each other in bewilderment.

"and many more."

"These facts speak for themselves: from beginning to end, it was you, Coz, who was wallowing in self-pity, and no one but yourself could save you from this predicament."

Having stood silently beside everyone, observing the unfolding events, the outspoken critic Rogdorn finally spoke.

Instead of spending time figuring out how to get better through various forms of witchcraft, it's better to confront the core of the problem.

"Koz, what exactly are you afraid of?"

Incisive and to the point, consistent with Rogdorn's long-standing characteristics.

However, no way out was left for Coz.

Naturally, he fell silent.

"Well then, since various psionic methods aren't working very well, should we first disperse a portion of the expeditionary fleet to the Great Expedition?"

"Otherwise, too many Primarchs gathering here might hinder the progress of the expedition."

It's a bit too extravagant for so many Primarchs to not participate in any expeditions and just stay here watching over Koz's illness.

Since Angron's ability to absorb negative emotions is unusable, it would be better to let him and Rogdorn go and participate in the Great Crusade on their own.

Koz's problem can be gradually corrected by Kasgar and Fugrim.

During the correction process, everything is fine as long as he's not involved!

—Rogdorn!

The key issue isn't Rogdorath, it's that Rogdorath doesn't exist!

First, we need to kick Rogdorn out of the team!

Roguedorn was indeed a very powerful and upright Primarch.

It must be said that, as the future Grand Master of the Terran Guard, he single-handedly withstood the rebel invasion of the solar system and Holy Terra. It was also he who was able to withstand the steel torrent of Horus and Peturabo during the Great Rebellion, preserving a sliver of life for the Terran Palace.

—Don't ask why Peturabo betrayed them yet.

Whether the Emperor did it intentionally or not, he actually brought Rogdorn, a rock with negative emotional intelligence, along. How could he possibly handle the Coz problem properly?

It was already difficult enough, and now the emperor is putting him through weight training?

A feeling of utter exhaustion filled his heart.

Only one went crazy when they went in.

When they came out, all five of them had gone crazy.

"Alright, take good care of yourselves. Keep in touch during the Great Expedition if you have the chance."

Angron agreed to the proposal from Kasgar and Fugrim.

As a Primarch who had just joined the Empire of Man, and with many more worlds awaiting the liberation of the World Eaters, he didn't want to waste too much time on a Primarch whose mind was unstable.

it is good.

Since Angron has agreed, Rogdorath must also agree—

"I'm sorry, but I cannot."

Rogdorn paused for a moment, then shook his head and rejected Casgar's offer.

Coz's problem worried him.

Rogdorn knew the principle that with great power comes great responsibility.

As the eldest of the Primarchs, he had witnessed far too many immature Primarch behaviors.

Therefore, it is necessary to correct the behavior of every Primarch whose mind is not yet fully mature, especially Perturabo!, under his instructions.

This is his responsibility as the elder brother.

Even if it slows down the Imperial Fist's expedition, they will not hesitate.

Casgar: "."

Speechless, really.

Is there any possibility, I mean, is there any possibility?

It's because of you, Rogdorn, that Kurz eventually went insane!

If Kasgar doesn't intervene, Koz will eventually open up to Fogrim with his sincere help and tell him what he's afraid of.

That was the psionic vision that Koz saw when the Emperor ascended Nostramore.

[Koz himself will be killed by his own father, a great rebellion will occur, their offspring will die fighting each other, and the light that the Emperor brought to Nostramore will be destroyed forever.]

A somewhat sensational prophecy.

Then, the blabbermouth and indecisive Forgrim told Rogdorn, who was with him, about it, hoping to find a solution—

Stop looking.

Roguedorn immediately launched into a tirade against Koz, accusing him of spreading falsehoods and insulting the reputation of the Emperor and the Primarchs.

This terrified Koz so much that he went into a state of mental instability, severely injuring Dorn and nearly killing him while in a delirious state.

This is rare for Coz, who harmed someone when that person was completely innocent and even more righteous than himself.

This shattered Coz's long-held view of good and evil.

He believed he was about to become a murderer rather than an executioner, which made him feel as sinful as the criminals he killed.

From then on, Kotz's condition worsened as he was consumed by guilt and fear, and he became increasingly reluctant to communicate with others.

Then I went crazy.

It must be said that the Emperor's decision to send Rogdoryn back alone to serve as the Terran Guard made sense.
