I'm a magnetic field madman

After such a war, many dark angels were cast into every corner of the universe... but when they wanted to return, they were hunted down by their own people.

Those loyal dark angels, in order to cover up the fact that the First Legion had rebelled, didn't give these dark angels a chance to explain!

They were not only eager to silence them, but they even dragged some loyal dark angels back to the boulder and forced them to "repent" under extremely cruel torture.

This is what these fallen angels have experienced over the past ten thousand years.

Filled with loyalty, yet utterly lost, there was nowhere in the empire's world that felt like home.

Even if they help the empire repel the enemy, they will only be dragged back to the boulder and cruelly tortured by the relentlessly pursuing dark angels.

They did try to explain, of course, but the more they explained, the more obsessed these dark angels became.

Ultimately, the root of all these problems lies in the secret society and its intricate system personally created by Leon. And the absolute purity championed by the First Legion is, to hell, the catalyst for all of this!

Which legion hasn't had traitors? During the Horus Rebellion, how many legions were left without a single supporter of Horus?

The white scars even led to the defection of half the legion to Horus.

But did Khan ever cover up this fact? Even if it invites ridicule and skepticism, the white scars cannot obscure this true history.

There is no absolute right or wrong, nor is there any such thing as loyalty, in this galaxy. Even a Khan would not blame his sons who betrayed him.

Horus was certainly more charming than him, wasn't he?

Moreover, Horus's rebellion at that time, before the power of Chaos had manifested, cannot be considered wrong.

Even if they don't correct their mistakes now, what about later? Over thousands of years, the Dark Angels have had many opportunities to correct their errors; all they needed to do was relinquish this false title and glory, but they didn't!

They wear the crown of vanity, and the longer they wear it, the more insane they become. They are obsessed with the reputation of loyalty, but it is precisely because of their excessive pursuit of so-called loyalty that their actions seem to drift further and further away from loyalty.

Under such torment, countless dark angels were forced to betray the Empire and humanity and turn to chaos—and this became the excuse for the dark angels to despise the fallen angels.

To be honest, this isn't really Leon's fault. After all, it was Luther's fleet that attacked first, so there was nothing wrong with Leon choosing to retaliate.

The problem is that the later pursuit of fallen angels by the dark angels was entirely Leon's fault... The dark angels he personally trained, who adhered to mysticism and a pure inclination, were also caused by him falling asleep before he could understand the problem, leading to the farce of "fallen angels" that lasted for ten thousand years!

As for those "veteran cadres," they have tried to petition Terra countless times over the course of ten thousand years... but each time they were dragged back to the boulder by those crazed dark angels, or beaten to death on the spot.

Thinking of everything that had happened not long ago, Leon closed his eyes in anguish.

His son even grabbed Leon by the neck in a fit of rage, loudly and angrily demanding to know where Leon had been. In the past, Leon would have slapped him off the head long ago.

Because he experienced the pain of his own offspring, Leon endured it all, even changing his emotions and personality.

He knew that more than suffering, his help was needed to awaken his empire at this moment.

He looked at the Khan, asking this stranger, whom he had probably never spoken more than a hundred words to, what had happened in the past ten thousand years—and then the Khan recounted it all with a gloating expression.

After all, he can't bear this dog shit-like pain alone.

He said their father ascended the Golden Throne and was worshipped as a god by the Empire... Oh right, now the entire Empire doesn't believe in Imperial Truth, but in that book of nonsense written by Loka.

Upon hearing this, the Lion King's heart stopped in agony.

However, this is not the end; this is just the beginning.

The Khan also explained in detail to the Lion King how his brothers had disappeared, explained that the Empire was now under the control of the High Lords, and then vividly described the War of the Beasts and the Age of Apostasy.

"Traitor! Traitor! Damn it! I'll kill them all, I'll kill all the trash on Terra!!"

Leon roared in fury and smashed the stone coffin he had slept in for ten thousand years with a single punch.

But this wasn't the end, because when Leon forced himself to ask about the fate of his legion, even preparing for their complete annihilation—

"Oh, no, not at all." The Khan calmly brought Leon some good news.

"Your legion still exists, but it has been dismantled. Guilliman has broken your complete legion into hundreds of pieces."

"According to the holy book written by Guilliman, all legions must be broken down into independent warbands of no more than a thousand men each."

Your Dark Angels too, of course I wholeheartedly agreed at the time, anyway, we White Scars are very good at operating independently. Besides, we didn't have many left anyway, so dismantling them is fine.”

"As for your legion, although you have managed to acquire warbands that rely on you through various underhanded means, allowing your Dark Angels headquarters to maintain a size that can barely be called a legion, overall, your legion is not even one-tenth the size it was ten thousand years ago."

No sooner had the Khan finished speaking than Leon could no longer contain himself and roared out…

"Guilliman!!"

"I'm going to kill you!!"

Leon roared furiously, the lion's roar instantly echoing throughout the entire Stone Monastery, attracting a large group of dark angels...

When Azrael, the chapter master of the Dark Angels, arrived with a group of mentors and inquisitors to judge the fallen angels... their reaction upon seeing Leon awaken was quite remarkable.

The interrogating priests were so fanatical that they even planned to perform a ritual in front of Leon to make the fallen angel repent on the spot, while the chapter leader and the inner circle's grandmasters broke out in a cold sweat.

What happened afterward is not important.

Anyway, Chagatai was thoroughly enjoying the spectacle.

Later, Chagatai naturally joined forces with the Dark Angels' fleet and headed directly to the Five Hundred Worlds of Alteramar once again.

The Khan figured that once they arrived at their destination, he would have a grand show to watch.

Wow, this is so satisfying...

109. Settling Accounts

“Leon, I think there’s more than one of our brothers down there.”

Looking down at the boundless blue of Altramah, Chagatai Khan keenly sensed a magnetic force emanating from below. The Eagle King, realizing something, revealed a smile of keen interest…

“Hey, but I don’t think those are the brothers who used to stand on our side. I heard there was a little accident at Khorne’s place, and maybe Angron is among those brothers down there.”

"Leon, you think you've reformed your temper, but what do you plan to do when faced with our rebellious brothers? And what do you plan to do with Angron, who has become normal?"

The Khan's question caused Leon to fall silent for a moment, before he spoke in a low voice...

"If they repent and try to make amends for their mistakes, then I will forgive them! But there are some scores I must settle!"

Leon was questioning, and even more so, regretting. He regretted that if he had gone directly to Terra instead of returning to Caliban, the course of the war might have been different.

Perhaps Saint Gilles wouldn't have died, the Emperor wouldn't have had to ascend the Golden Throne, and the Empire wouldn't have fallen to this state.

Of course, this overly self-conscious idea was met with scorn from the Khan...

The outcome of the siege of Terra had absolutely nothing to do with Leon and Guilliman.

They will never reach Terra; the warp storm orchestrated by the four gods will make them perpetual latecomers.

Unless they can reach out to the Necromancers and cooperate with those aliens whose technology is almost magical, and be sent directly to Terra like Sanguis, they will never be able to change the outcome of the war!

But Leon's guilt remained unchanged. This feeling of guilt over Saint Gilles' death, the chaos and decadence of the empire, was the root cause of Leon's drastic change in temperament.

Therefore, Leon would hate the rebellious Primarchs who besieged Terra that day.

Leaving aside the death of Horus, Leon directly transformed this guilt into boundless hatred for Angron, Perturabo, Mortarion, Magnus, and Forgrim!

This is normal, and it's true, but in Khan's eyes, Leon is just running away.

“You’re shirking responsibility; you’re using hatred and anger to mask your guilt. But Leon, your guilt is your true nature.”

The Khan tilted his head back and drank the miraculous medicinal wine in one gulp, exhaling a long breath, a leaping arc of electricity rising in the vacuum...

He gazed intently at Leon, and spoke directly to the heart of the matter…

“Leon, I have no objection to you taking action against Angron. I might even lend you a hand! But you need to figure out whether you're doing this to make yourself feel better, or simply out of hatred and murderous intent towards him.”

"Is there a difference?" Leon countered.

"Of course there is. If it's the former, you'll never be able to defeat Angron in your lifetime, even if you awaken your warp nature," the Khan said, shaking his head.

"But if it's the latter... you'll have the opportunity and time to defeat him."

"You saying that makes me even more eager to try," Leon said expressionlessly, though a spark of electricity crackled in his eyes...

The magnetic field was rotating, and there was no doubt that Khan had already taught Leon this new version of power on the way here.

And like their brothers, the Primarch's powerful body and soul allowed them to experience a leap in power after coming into contact with the essence of the universe...

Not to mention that Leon had already acquired his true nature during his millennia-long slumber.

In a very short time, it reached a power of 650,000 horsepower!

But in the Khan's eyes, this was far from enough.

Leon is not yet able to control this power well; in the words of those magnetic field experts, he has not yet fully mastered it.

More importantly—as Khan said, Leon has not yet come to understand his own nature, nor has he accepted his truest self!

Without truly understanding himself, Leon was unable to better control his power... In fact, despite possessing 650,000 units of power, he couldn't even make himself younger.

And what about Angron?

Although the Khan looked down on his mad brother, they were very similar in one respect—they shared a considerable degree of commonality in their own nature.

The Khan knew himself well from the start, what kind of person he was. That's why he would stay far away from the Emperor, leading his children to pursue a freer war rather than, like Perturab, scrambling to do illegal work for so-called glory…

Even though he later respected his "father," the Khan still maintained a certain distance. He kept his distance from the emperor and from his grand ambitions.

Even the cold sun will burn you if you get too close; only by keeping a sufficient distance can you maintain respect for it.

As for Angron, this guy was a slave for ten thousand years and had absolutely no self-awareness. Yet, like the Khan, he had a deep yearning and desire for freedom.

Once Angron is freed from slavery, he will quickly comprehend and gain immense power in his pursuit of freedom.

Because the Khan had also come into contact with that unfinished god, his only evaluation of that god was just two words.

癫佬

That god was completely different from the other four pieces of dog shit. He didn't take the initiative to cause trouble, nor was he too lazy to do so. He wouldn't use any disgusting methods to do anything corrupting.

His so-called followers are all absolutely free, only drawing power from him and acting straightforwardly.

But this bastard's direct destructive power is even more terrifying than the other four!

He doesn't need to incite his followers to do anything; once his followers gain power, they will do things on their own the moment they do!

The first step in demonstrating absolute individual violence is to tear apart the current stable social structure. Greater individual freedom means greater suffering for the group, a truth the Khan understood well.

Khan has actually found quite a few worlds with awakened magnetic field power along his journey, and almost without exception...

Those who possess magnetic field power will not hesitate to begin destroying the social structure, killing those in power, and then becoming tyrants with sole power!

Of course, the empire itself was also corrupt in this regard.

But one can imagine that this freedom and disorder is an inevitable effect brought about by the power of the magnetic field.

What would Angron do with such power?

The Khan had no doubt that unleashing his true nature would cause Angron's power to surge... and if he couldn't find anything that gave him more pleasure than destruction—

This madman might actually manage to hit Terra, or even deliver a devastating blow to it with a whirlwind torpedo...

"Are you underestimating me?" Leon said quietly.

"I'm just stating the facts," the Khan said, shaking his head.

"Of course I can't stop you from doing anything, Leon. It's human nature to vent anger, but..."

The Khan paused for a moment, then looked at it with a playful expression…

"If you really can't beat Angron, I think someone will help you. After all, that madman, like those evil gods, enjoys watching the show."

"There's no need to feel betrayed. Since we've already had to accept the power of this rotating magnetic field... then we'll inevitably be influenced by someone like him, the 'ultimate powerhouse'..."

Leon remained silent, simply rising to his feet. The Khan's final words, without a doubt, only served to further humiliate and provoke Leon.

Leon's attitude towards such doubts and contempt has always been the same.

kill!!

Enveloping his entire body in magnetic force, Leon plummeted towards Macurag without a word.

He could already sense Angron's presence, that powerful magnetic field force being controlled by that hateful traitor!

Thinking of everything he had done during the Siege of Terra, inflicting irreparable damage on Saint Gilles, Leon was driven by pain and rage to fuel his fury even further!

"Hey……"

The Khan watched Leon leave and sighed softly. But he couldn't just leave him like that.

"Lord Chagatai, may I ask about Lord Leon...?"

Azrael's cautious voice reached the Khan's ears, and the Khan impatiently interrupted him, saying directly...
