Warhammer 40: My Fiancée Fulgrim

Even if you were really performing some kind of witchcraft ritual, you wouldn't go so far as to use the Centaur Gold Ring to prank me, would you?

"That Horus is really infuriating, Kaska, don't you think?"

"Casca?"

Fugrim was about to ask Kasgar beside him, but the fear and confusion on Kasgar's face suggested that Horus was not joking.

Is he serious?

Could there really be witchcraft rituals in this world that can be activated through a theatrical performance like the Centaur Ring?

Do you know what they're doing?

"I don't know, but I think it's definitely not good news."

"Is he really practicing witchcraft? Should we stop them?"

"It might not be that bad, let's wait and see."

Casca was also very uneasy.

On the one hand, he also wanted to see Horus's latest research findings on the spirit of the centaur.

On the other hand, Casgar was also very nervous if something truly outrageous happened, turning the Emperor's Truth into toilet paper.

Horus, stop messing around!

As the originator of the Centaur Golden Ring, if the Emperor were to truly hold him accountable, Kasgar doesn't believe he can escape the guilt of playing with witchcraft.

Horus, you really need to act normal!

Even if you've become mentally disturbed, you still have to act like a normal person!

Kaska prayed frantically in his heart.

"Emperor."

"Emperor! Emperor! Emperor!"

The strange behavior of the Shadowmoon Wolves did not last long.

As Horus cried out the word "Emperor" with increasing urgency, he finally threw a punch forward with his eyes closed.

"Thoughts of the Emperor's Fist, thoughts flow like a spring!"

Bang!

As the choir of Shadowmoon Wolves sang, Horus suddenly threw a punch at the distant sky.

With a powerful psychic energy explosion, the punch shot out from Horus's left hand towards the distant sky, reaching the edge of the atmosphere before disappearing into the invisible distance.

An unimaginable golden radiance stretched outwards from Horus's fist.

what is this?

(The Golden Road)

It was an absolutely bizarre scene.

Those standing behind him, Horus remained in his previous punching stance until he opened his eyes and looked at the distant sky that was constantly extending with golden light. Only then did he show a relieved smile and lower his outstretched right fist.

How could Horus, without any psychic talent, actually unleash such a powerful attack brimming with psychic energy?

Fugrim and Kasgar couldn't understand it.

But they were deeply shocked.

"Alright, all the warp storms we encountered have been completely cleared up, and we can now continue our pursuit of those fleeing ships."

"Notify the navigators of Vengeance to check again whether the warp storm has subsided since then."

"However, based on my previous experiments, this golden light path doesn't seem to last very long. We need to complete the launch as soon as possible."

A golden waterway not only appeared before them at this moment, but also stretched into the distance of the subspace, calming the raging storm there.

Not only was the raging warp storm dispersed by Horus's strange fist technique, but the thin golden line also appeared in the warp's field of vision, becoming a beacon guiding the navigators forward.

In the short term, the expeditionary fleet's navigators will have another anchor point to refer to besides the Starbeam, which will greatly improve the accuracy of future subspace warp jumps!

"How is it, Fugrim?"

"Would you like to learn this move of mine?"

Horus looked towards the distance with a show of pride, then looked away and raised an eyebrow at Fugrim and Kasgar.

Just when everyone thought the strange ritual was over, a portion of the golden light that Horus had unleashed from his fist suddenly turned back and returned to Horus's side.

"This is.?"

Just as Horus was still marveling at the miracle, the golden psychic light suddenly changed shape, transforming into something else.

palm?

Snapped!

The next moment, the radiance rushed in front of Horus and delivered a dazzling psionic slap to him.

Even a Primarch-level physical strength was left with a bright red handprint after that psionic slap.

It seems to have been intentional.

"Although I don't know why this is the case, the move I learned while watching the [Centaur Gold Ring] can not only dispel the raging warp storm, but can even tear apart a powerful enemy in front of me."

As for the psionic sinus strike Horus delivered earlier, it was a natural punch emanating from the image of the emperor in his memory, imbued with his longing emotions.

That golden light must also be the work of the emperor.

It was he who slapped Horus.

What does this mean?

This shows that the emperor cares about me!

"Hehe, hehe."

Horus tried his best to suppress the corners of his mouth, but found that he couldn't.

He could only helplessly wipe the drool from his mouth with the hand he had just taken off his boxing glove.

Hehe, Emperor. Hehe

"So...this isn't actually witchcraft?"

"You didn't use any witchcraft; you only threw that punch out of your love for the Emperor?"

After stroking his chin in deep thought for a long time, Fugrim, who was standing to the side, concluded.

"Yes."

Horus certainly did not use simple psychic magic.

Just like the madwoman from Battle Sisters who could withstand the exorcism debuff of the Exorcism Dead Zone by relying on her faith in the Emperor.

(The 13 Necromancers were stunned and exclaimed that Old Man Huang was invincible.)

Although it does seem illogical, sometimes miracles are not achieved through psychic power.

The power of faith, isn't it amazing?

Although the gap between the warp and the real world was quite deep in the 30k era, his love for the Emperor offset that.

"So, does that mean that as long as our passion is strong enough, we can all unleash this punch?"

As if struck by a thought, Fugrim asked Horus a question.

"That's right!"

“That’s right, sister! That’s why I’m sharing this with you, as long as your love is enough,” Horus said, glancing at Kasgar, who looked utterly dejected beside Fugrim. “Anyone can quell a warp storm with their own power, and our future routes will only be safer!”

This is indeed a remarkable discovery!

The reason why humanity declined from the golden age of dark technology is largely due to the obstruction caused by warp storms!

"How about it?"

"Alright! Horus, tell me how to use this move!"

Fugrim's eyes lit up.

"That's it, I understand."

After Horus finished explaining his thought process in developing this move, Fugrim nodded thoughtfully.

Then, she closed her eyes, her mind filled with the thirty years she and Casca had spent together on the Chemos—

"stop!!!"

However, she was interrupted by the real person beside her just as she got into the zone.

"Now that the subspace storm has dissipated, it's the perfect opportunity to pursue the enemy ships. We can't afford to waste time here!"

That was Casca's expression of wanting to cry but having no tears.

Don't do that!

Please, please, you absolutely mustn't learn this!

"Good, good, good. Casca is right. We should indeed hurry up and finish the pursuit of that fleeing enemy ship."

Horus, we'll be going now.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade the tearful Kasgar, Fugrim chose to memorize the [Three Wonders of Fugrim and Kasgar] that suddenly came to mind.

Let's try it when we have the chance later.

After all, once the subspace storms have dissipated, the threat to the Dark Night New District will naturally disappear, won't it?

【Mountain Formation】

At the central core of this enormous spaceship, comparable in size to some satellites, Dorn listened to reports from his subordinate company commanders and navigators.

"The situation from the left has been largely determined."

"The combined fleet of Lord Horus and Lord Fugrim, after encountering the human fleet from the local star system, successfully occupied more than ten nearby star systems, and the empire chose to submit to us."

"On the right is Lord Ryan's fleet. Their report states that they did not encounter many human star systems suitable for cooperation, but they did acquire some planets worth modifying after the war."

"—According to the explorations of the Mechanicus members, the surfaces of these planets all seem to possess some kind of scorched earth formed by high-temperature vitrification."

"Lord Ryan said he was unaware of this, and that he had never used the extermination order provided by the Imperial Navy ships."

That means it was used.

Rogdorn nodded slightly: "Continue. Is our future warp-space environment still functioning smoothly?"

"Unlike before when it was on the outskirts of the sector, the Star Torch is not almost unaffected by the warp."

The navigator shook his head slightly, somewhat pained: "The deeper we go into the sector, the stronger the impact of the surging subspace storms on the Star Torch becomes."

As the Mountain Formation penetrated the area, they now needed more time to discern the surroundings between each jump. To prevent excessive errors in the jumps, the jump distances were shortened accordingly.

They certainly don't want to suddenly discover that they've actually jumped a hundred years into the future.

"So, our task is still very challenging."

Rogdorn, still expressionless, concluded, "The key to this battle lies in whether our Expeditionary Fleet No. 343 can successfully capture it—Navigator, is there anything else you'd like to say?"

Seeing that the navigator seemed to have something to say but hesitated, Rogdorn asked.

"Our guiding light has indeed been blocked, but..."

"But what? Navigator, we've already penetrated deep into the core of the Dark Night Sector, a place where even the Emperor's radiance cannot reach."

"That's right! But just a few days ago, when I was observing subspace in preparation for finding a new jump point, I seemed to observe an anomaly."

"Vision?"

“That’s right! Everything was exactly the same back then. I was still carefully using the light of the star torch to determine my location when the raging warp storm suddenly—”

“I saw His presence—the presence of the Emperor.”

"He dispelled the warp storm before us with golden light, and also shone and healed the gaps in my body caused by the genetic mutation with golden radiance!"

"That's why we leap so quickly—it's the Emperor guiding us—"

"Shut up, navigator!"

The chief imperial truth preacher who was attending the meeting immediately stood up and interrupted him.
