Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 311: The Prophecy of Sanguinius

Roche followed Sanguinius's footsteps and came to the warship parked in the satellite orbit.

The archangel seemed to be worried about something, and there were some things that were inconvenient to say and could not be said in such a noisy environment.

Lion El'Jonson watched his brother, waiting for his second Emperor to give his opinion.

Uslan bowed slightly, intending to leave first. Everything in front of him looked like a negotiation between several giants of the Second Empire, so it would be better for him not to be present.

However, Sanguinius stopped Uslan, and what happened next had a lot to do with this Eldar prophet.

"Should we call Guilliman? He is still in Macragge handling government affairs." Roxi looked around and found that the Lord of Five Hundred Worlds was not here.

The Regent, the Lord Protector, and the Deputy Governor are all here. There is no reason why they would deliberately exclude Guilliman from attending the meeting.

What's more, this is Guilliman's Five Hundred Worlds. Although he gave up the position of the Uncrowned King, everyone knows that the Second Empire is actually dominated by Guilliman.

"I have informed him and he is on his way," said Sanguinius.

His huge wings spread out behind him, catching the light of the stars, like glittering gold.

"What the great demon said is true. The source and anchor of the Ruinstorm are related to the corruption of Horus."

The archangel's voice was full of compassion, as if he was crying blood. His tall body trembled slightly, and even the luster of his feathers dimmed.

"Horus is my brother. We were inseparable during the Great Crusade. I have no intention of exonerating him. His actions have caused too much pain to the Imperium and humanity. But Horus was loyal. He died in conspiracy and betrayal long ago."

"Dawenxing."

Luo Xi controlled the Thinker computer here, and the brilliant star map was suddenly displayed in the form of a holographic projection.

He continued to zoom in with his hands, and finally found an ordinary planet, which was Daven, where Horus was corrupted.

"If we want to calm the storm of destruction, we have to put an end to everything on Daven. Because of Horus's fall, that planet has become a concept in the warp. I'm afraid we need to go there in person."

"us?"

Ryan raised his eyebrows, he heard the hidden meaning of Sanguinius' words.

"I am the Protector of the Second Empire. Matters concerning the war should be under my jurisdiction. You said that Daven Star is the anchor point of the Destruction Storm. It's that simple. Isn't it enough to just destroy it with the Extinction Order weapon?"

"Bipolar cyclone torpedoes? Orbital bombardment? If there are living enemies, we can also use virus bombs. My flagship, the New Caliban, has excellent planet-destroying capabilities. If that doesn't work, we can also send in combat planets to completely smash them."

"Don't you trust me? And you want to send other people to destroy the planet Daven with me?"

Caliban is extremely sensitive and suspicious. Any distrust will be infinitely magnified by him, becoming a huge rift that can collapse the alliance.

He stared at Sanguinius, waiting for a powerful answer from him.

The archangel took two steps forward and placed his hands on his brother's shoulders, maintaining constant eye contact.

"No, brother, it's not like that. I have never doubted your loyalty to our father, nor your invincible ability." Sanguinius comforted him. It was obvious that Ryan was soft-hearted, and with the regent's kind words, Ryan's stiff expression finally relaxed a little.

"It's a prophecy. My prophecy tells me that I must go to Daven Star. The key to breaking the deadlock lies with me. This trip is full of dangers, and I don't want to implicate you."

Ryan's breathing suddenly became rapid. This was undoubtedly a tough battle, and he could not let Sanguinius go alone no matter what.

"I can't let you go alone, brother." There were hurried and heavy footsteps in the corridor of the battleship. Roxi didn't even need to look back, Guilliman had already hurried over.

The Lion was immediately furious when he saw the annoying Guilliman coming, not to mention that he had said what he wanted to say before him.

That annoying Guilliman, why is he everywhere?

Guilliman, who had just been temporarily freed from the overwhelming government documents, rushed here. While he used his superhuman hearing to discern the content of everyone's conversation, what he cared most about was Sanguinius' decision to go to Davin by himself.

Sanguinius is now the Emperor of the Second Empire. Even though he hardly has any say in matters, he is still an Emperor.

It is totally unacceptable to let one's emperor risk his life.

"Tell us, what did you predict?" Guilliman grabbed Sanguinius' hand and squeezed his body, pushing Lion aside.

"The prophecy is not entirely correct. For example, Conrad was tortured into a madman by the damn false prophecy. When he jumped from Ryan's ship to Macragge and caused a big commotion, he was a complete prophetic madman. He stubbornly believed that what he saw was the unchangeable truth."

"Yes, Archangel, we should face difficulties together instead of making our own decisions and bearing them alone. Do you still remember the oath we made together? Does your current plan violate that oath?" Luo Xi said.

Everyone was talking at once, and suddenly they were a little confused by what Sanguinius said.

He gave a wry smile and began to describe the prophecy he had seen.

"Among the many Primarch brothers, not many have the ability of psychic prophecy. Apart from Conrad, I should have the strongest psychic prophecy ability."

Luo Xi nodded in agreement. Perhaps the predictions made by Midnight Haunter could not even be called prophecies. No psychic could see what would happen in the future as clearly and completely as he did.

Koz can even immerse himself in the situation and completely integrate into that state to participate in what will happen in the future. For him, the prophecy is not completely false, but partially true.

"Through the prophecy, I saw that all the answers are on Daven. I will find a way to destroy the warp storm there, and I saw more pictures than usual."

"I will die at the hands of Horus, on Terra, aboard his Vengeful Spirit."

Sanguinius spoke calmly about his own death notice, as calmly as if he was talking about the life and death of a stranger.

"Because my death has been anchored, I will not die no matter what I do before that. That's why I want to go to Daven alone. I saw blood and fire, the shadows of the demons in the warp, and some traces of even more terrifying existences."

Sanguinius will die at the hands of Horus...

Luo Xi pondered over this prophecy. Did it mean that they would definitely be able to catch up with the decisive battle and successfully reach Terra?
"But Archangel, if you didn't go to Terra and didn't take part in that decisive battle, you could have avoided your death." Roxi was puzzled. Since Sanguinius had seen those endings, why did he make them happen?

The Archangel's bright eyes moved. No gem in the world could compare to the eyes of Sanguinius. He was perfection itself and the epitome of all holiness and nobility.

"From a long-term perspective, my sacrifice is necessary. I saw that I fought side by side with my father to fight against Horus, who had been amplified to infinite terror by the warp. If I did not go, the Emperor would lose his help."

Roche looked at Sanguinius with mixed emotions. Knowing that he would die... would he still go?
No, if this is the future, then change it!

When Sanguinius said this, Roxi understood that the perfection and nobility of the archangel were not his beautiful appearance, but his golden heart and holy inner soul.

How many people can foresee their own death and still move towards that end unwaveringly?

Sanguinius was different. Not only did he know, but he also chose to embark on that path without hesitation.
