Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 158: Primaris Weeper

After Mephisto's explanation, the seven Weepers finally figured out what had happened and temporarily accepted the current situation.

But Tahir still didn't have a very good face towards Chen Xi. After all, this kind of transformation was really hard to accept for ordinary Space Marines.

Chen Xi was not surprised by this. When Guilliman was implementing the Primaris Reforms, there were still a lot of Chapters that were very hostile to the Primaris Space Marines. The worst-case scenario was that the Black Templars even slaughtered a group of Custodes. Expecting these canned people to accept the changes was harder than climbing to the sky.

Not to mention the toilet paper that they regard as the bible. If Guilliman himself wants to make changes, he will be criticized for not understanding the holy scriptures.

All we can say is that the abstraction of empire is not without reason.

In an empire that had existed for ten thousand years, too many things had become chronic and difficult to cure. If they wanted to do something, they could only find loopholes or wait for Guilliman to wake up and let the only Primarch who was good at politics do it himself.

For Chen Xi, he just wants to do well the task at hand.

"Sir Chen Xi, thank you again for saving them." Mephisto's gratitude to Chen Xi was beyond words.

From any perspective, Chen Xi is a great benefactor to their line of Space Marines.

"That's fine. The contributions the Weepers have made to the people of the Empire are admirable, and I'm happy to be able to help them." Chen Xi waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care much about it. He simply reminded Mephisto, "However, their bodies have undergone tremendous changes since the Primarisization. In addition to adapting quickly, they also need to hide themselves for a short period of time and not reveal their identities.

At present, the Primaris transformation has not yet received official approval from the Empire. Although I can protect them from being held accountable, the Weepers are still in the midst of the Atonement Crusade. If they are discovered, the subsequent trouble will be very serious. "

"Please rest assured, Lord Chen Xi, I will remind them." Mephisto expressed his understanding. After all, the Weepers do have to face a lot of problems.

However, after saying this, Mephisto's expression changed slightly, as if he was hesitant, but then he made a decision and whispered to Chen Xi, "Sir Chen Xi, will their gene-seeds change after Primarisization?"

"You're asking whether Primaris can be inherited through gene-seed, and whether this affects Bloodthirst and Black Rage?" Chen Xi saw through Mephisto's thoughts and replied with a smile, "After Primaris, their newly implanted special organs will be the same as their original artificial organs, and can be inherited through gene storage glands and passed down to new Space Marines.

As for whether Primaris can solve Bloodthirst and Black Rage, my answer is yes, but it can only have a slight impact.

Primarisization can solve your blood thirst problem, but blood thirst itself is a genetic trait that the Emperor deliberately retained when designing the Blood Angels Chapter, and it is not a flaw in you.

The Mechanicus sage who was in charge of researching Primaris had considered resolving this issue, but he felt it might be intentional on the part of the Emperor, so he made no changes.

As for Black Rage, Lord Mephisto, you should know more about this than I do."

After listening to Chen Xi's explanation, Mephisto fell silent.

He knew the details of Black Fury better than anyone else.

This was the first time Mephisto had heard that the Emperor had deliberately caused the bloodthirst. Both pieces of news were shocking to him, and he needed time to digest and understand the implications.

"It seems that I really need time to digest the information revealed by you, Mr. Chen Xi." Mephisto did not question the truth of what Chen Xi said. Some information does not need to be verified to know the authenticity. Mephisto just couldn't accept it for the time being.

"I understand. Some secrets are indeed a burden to those who know them." Chen Xi didn't say anything else. After comforting Mephisto, he turned and left.

Watching Chen Xi leave, Mephisto fell into deep thought.

When the Weepers were seen again, these seven unlucky guys had changed into black power armor.

Black is the paint scheme of the Death Watch. The only thing on their bodies that indicates their original chapter identity is the shoulder armor on their right shoulder that retains the original chapter paint scheme, while the left shoulder is the silver shoulder armor representing the Inquisition.

Generally speaking, members of the Death Watch are proud to join this special force. In the game Starfighter 2, Titus's little fanboy admires the Death Watch very much.

Being able to serve in the Death Watch is an honor worth boasting for any Astartes.

Unless you join this special force as a Black Shield.

The so-called Black Shields hide the identity of their original regiment and join the Death Watch. These people usually paint the shoulder armor used to indicate their original regiment black or cover it with a piece of cloth.

This is because they do not want anyone to know which Chapter they once belonged to.

They may have joined the Deathwatch for a specific purpose, but they may also have committed some crimes and do not want to tarnish the honor of their original group.

For example, according to Titus' experience in Starfighter 2, he became discouraged because no one helped him in Deathwatch for a long time, and he joined Deathwatch passively on suspicion of being a traitor.

So later he not only changed his name, but also covered the emblem of his regiment with a piece of cloth, gave up his identity as an Ultramarines, and at the same time did not want anyone to know that he had once belonged to the Ultramarines.

The shoulder armor of the seven weepers in front of him, indicating that they belonged to a certain regiment, was also covered by a piece of cloth.

"Because the Primaris technology is still a secret, you will need to conceal your identities for the time being." Chen Xi looked at the seven Primaris Weepers and gave them some instructions: "Your status in the Deathwatch is temporary. Once the Primaris returns to the Imperium, or your original Chapter completes the Atonement Crusade and returns, you can resume your status as Weepers.

Until then, you can only operate as a Deathwatch Blackshield.

I guess you don't want others to know that someone in the Weepers has undergone special body modifications, right?"

"Isn't this your responsibility? If you don't reform us..." a wailer said to Chen Xi dissatisfiedly.

"That's true, but if I hadn't saved you, you would all have died," Chen Xi said, then threw out a fact that the Weepers couldn't accept: "If you all died, the Weepers might truly be wiped out. After all, you know the situation of your own group very well."
