Chapter 321 Return

Chapter 321 Return
The black-clad figure climbed up the mountain, completely naked.

Feeling the memories that are etched in the darkness.

He instinctively pulled a black hammer weapon from the lava-filled ground.

His entire body was black, a color bestowed upon him by his home planet.

Even if he were resurrected countless times, he would revert to his original color, and even the fire lizards modified based on his genes would be exactly the same color as him.

The resurrection of the fire lizard is the beginning of the light emanating from a fire dragon lord's codex on Nocturne Star.

"The Lord of Fire Dragons has returned?"

"The Lord of Fire Dragons has truly returned!"

"The oracle of the Fire Dragon Lord foretells that the Fire Dragon Lord has returned!"

The core city of the world of Alteramar, shrouded in a dense network of cities.

The Ultramarines, clad in their honorary attire, silently guard the Primarch, Guilliman's resting place.

The hibernation pod, surrounded by the Imperial static field, completely froze the Primarch's body in that instant, and Guilliman waited for a long time.

Now, Calgar, standing before Guilliman, has acquired the mysterious technology that allows Guilliman to be resurrected.

In the world of the human empire.

The Empire is preparing to launch an expedition.

As Makado regained power in the human empire, he used his authority to carry out a major purge of the entire empire. This purge revealed the determination and perseverance that Makado had shown after taking power.

He was to fulfill the emperor's mission.

Therefore, they had to do one thing: thoroughly reform the empire, even though this reform affected the interests of countless people and even required the use of the Imperial Guard.

This also means that the empire can finally free up its resources to launch a major expedition.

A single purge cannot reverse the entire empire, but it can bring temporary peace and unity.

After clearing the area, Makado prepared for his next major expedition.

The Empire has temporarily gained the support of the Astartes because of his purges, but some Astartes have also refuted or even opposed Macardo's past actions.

However, with the Empire facing the same enemy and lacking the support of the Primarchs, they could only obey Macador's orders to reclaim the lost territories that Chaos had regained control of due to the Great Rift.

Due to the full resurgence of the Necromancers, the Empire is facing suppression from a terrifying force that is more powerful than any enemy the Empire has ever faced. They will have to pay an even greater price to reclaim what the Necromancers have stolen from them.

Macardo needs the support of the Mechanical Church.

He knew all too well how much powerful technology these tech enthusiasts were hoarding, technology that had shocked even the empire. However, they would never gain access to it until the empire was completely destroyed or threatened.

Back in the day, when emperors were still walking among mortals...

Those mechanical churches on Mars only have a cooperative relationship with the Empire, rather than being a true subordinate department of the Empire.

During the Horus Rebellion, a significant portion of the Martian mechanical cults directly declared rebellion, joined the Horus camp, and voluntarily degenerated into the Dark Mechanical Cult, becoming the most troublesome force in the Empire. These Dark Mechanical Cults forged a large number of divine machines for Horus and even opened their privately held World Templates to the Horus army.

And now, these mechanical churches remain the same; they are unwilling to use their best skills unless it becomes a matter of survival, at which point they will use those weapons to resist Chaos's enslavement of them.

Therefore, the second thing Macardo did after taking over the Empire was to make a political deal with the Martian Forging General and the Martian Sages, in exchange for some political price, to gain the support of the Martian Mechanical Church.

The emperor's past arrangements have left the empire riddled with problems and a ticking time bomb.

However, the empire's development trend at the time made it necessary for them to recover those lost worlds as soon as possible, otherwise those chaotic worlds would eventually pollute them. And now, they also needed to recover those lost territories as soon as possible.

This seems to be another case of a strange historical cycle.

They now need to recover those lost territories as quickly as possible, but the faster they recover them, the more problems will arise in the recovered territories. This seems to be a historical inevitability.

While thinking about these things.

Communication between the Star Speakers has also been fully restored.

Messages from all over the world spread throughout the Star Language Court and were then recorded.

The Empire received hundreds of thousands of requests for help from around the world.

Of this information, they actually receive and record less than one-tenth of it.

Their Star Language Court needs more Star Speakers to receive and decipher these requests for help.

Similarly, those navigators who lead the way also need the full support of their navigator families.

The empire is making intensive preparations for a grand expedition.

And the center of operation of the Gamma world is almost at its end.

Inside the Ozrax Psionic Laboratory.

Within the core, scenes of violent collisions between the real universe and subspace storms continuously erupt.

On a huge figure.

They could feel the terrifying aura emanating from this body, as if it were a god.

In the midst of the fierce wind and torrential rain, the level-three alloy almost began to deform.

The power generated by the black stone obelisks, which were buried in the anti-magic domains near the Gamma World, uttered a fierce protest.

The twisting power caused the black stone obelisks to emit their sharpest roars.

Horus's body was surrounded by warp-like psionic lightning and roaring demonic flames.

Because his body's recovery had already caused fluctuations in his own power. "It can't be fully restored; a full restoration might cause problems."

"Then let's make some slight modifications based on the data collected from the Gamma World!"

Chaos made some modifications to Horus, and similarly, the Gamma world has mastered the power of the warp, because it is not impossible to modify Horus's soul and body.

By simply removing some of the subspace-containing material from his body and modifying his genes to form the form of Mengjie sponges, these Mengjie sponges would create a powerful restraining force when subspace power is injected again, thus restricting the Four Gods' control over him.

"Infuse it with soul".

"Initiate soul binding!"

When proceeding to the final step.

Once a soul bond is formed, Horus and the Emperor are bound together in life and death; Horus's soul will die along with the Emperor.

For Horus, this was actually a form of atonement before his death.

Golden light shone through the crack and entered Horus's soul.

In the subspace, four dark figures, seemingly accompanied by the Emperor's power, attempted to enter together. One of these figures even disguised itself as the Emperor's radiance.

A cold sun from subspace swept a beam of light toward the four dark figures.

The four figures disappeared directly into the subspace, and the storm around the subspace returned to calm.

Within the hidden storms, tens of millions of chaotic demons emerge from those hidden storms.

And the direction they were in was the only passageway to the Gamma world.

The Blackrock Fortress acquired by those gamma worlds.

Those Blackrock fortresses absorbed the soul power of the warp, continuously reclaiming the origin of that power and turning it into experimental materials, which were then injected into various psionic laboratories.

The cursed legions that held their ground here each had angels hovering above their heads, their heads wreathed in flames of the Emperor's wrath. They watched the demons that approached them, even though their numbers outnumbered them by a thousand times. They felt no fear or apprehension, only a fervent fighting spirit that would face whatever came their way.

Chaos is nothing more than something they have destroyed time and time again.

Meanwhile, in the psionic laboratory.

The experiment has reached its most critical juncture.

A large amount of data is undergoing final adjustments.

Warp space can morph Horus.

Their psionic labs can also modify Horus.

It wasn't just physical alteration; it also altered the opponent's strength, abilities, and even included some of their memories—the transformation through baptism.
If you're going to make changes, make them thorough.

Make him realize who he is, what mistakes he has made, and how he should atone for his sins.

Then, the most crucial soul is infused—a soul that has been atoning for its sins in the Gamma world.

When everything was poured into Horus's new body.

Horus's heart finally began to beat again.

And this was accompanied by the beating of Horus's heart.

The surrounding spiritual energy even began to weaken.

Because the modified Horus has already begun to possess the characteristics of the Mengjie Sponge, that is, the characteristics of a soulless being.

Their surroundings were like a void of souls.

All the spiritual energy around them will be absorbed by them, and the area where they exist is the Soulless Zone.

The Gamma World has mastered the method of creating soulless beings. However, the reproduction of soulless beings will not result in new soulless beings. Moreover, soulless beings not only affect psionicists, but ordinary people who stay with soulless beings for a long time will also develop severe soul loss problems.

Therefore, very few soulless beings are created in the Gamma world.

Only those parts that are suitable for modification will be modified.

Horus was one of them.

"Horus!"

Horus seemed to hear someone calling his name.

He seemed to awaken suddenly, and long memories were instantly triggered from his cerebral cortex.

Those long memories unfolded rapidly before him.

There was absolutely no flaw.

He saw the past.
He saw himself living as a gangster and was brought back by the Emperor.

He envisioned himself becoming the emperor's most trusted heir.

He saw the deception of chaos.

He believed in chaos.
