The strongest astral army in Warhammer 40K

Russell understood that his thinking was dangerous; ambition and jealousy could attract the whispers of the Warp, leading him astray and into the Chaos. At that point, they would no longer be brothers, but mortal enemies, which was something Russell did not want to see.

Kayan continued, "I know you will become stronger and stronger in the future. As you become stronger, those big shots will notice you, and your power will increase. Promise me that as long as you have the opportunity, you must find a way to let me into the Dreadnought!"

"I will!" Russell decided to promise his good brother, regardless of whether that day ever came.

Kayans stood up and left. Russell watched his retreating figure with great concern and couldn't help but pray softly: "Emperor, please protect him from being bewitched by the evil god."

Late at night, Kayans, who was fast asleep, suddenly heard a barely audible sound.

“You were all the same before, but now your good brother has become stronger. He is a very selfish person, a very shameless person. He became very strong but never told you how he became strong. Why do you still consider such a selfish person a brother? He doesn’t deserve to be called a hypocrite.”

“No!” Kayans exclaimed in his sleep, “He’s not that kind of person!”

"Russell is a despicable, shameless, and selfish bastard. If he really considered you a brother, why didn't he tell you how he became stronger? You two grew stronger together and fought side by side in the galaxy. It's clear he has never told you the truth. You still say he's not a hypocrite? Admit it, he is a hypocrite."

“No, he’s not. He saved me. I’ll never forget that!” Kayans was still struggling.

"You saved him too, did he ever thank you for saving his life? Never. That hypocrite has no conscience at all. Think about it carefully, if he really had a conscience and wanted to thank you for saving his life, he should have told you how he became stronger."

Kayans fell silent and stopped speaking.

A bizarre and strange dream appeared in his mind.

This is a mysterious space filled with vibrant colors, where a bird-like figure radiating silver light stands before Kayans.

The birdman glanced at Kayans's eerie eyes, which gleamed with a mysterious light.

"Is that you speaking?" Kayans asked.

The birdman nodded and said, "Yes, you can call me 'Saint'!"

“Saints?” Kayans had no idea about the origins of the saints.

The bird-man saint said: This story is very long. Ten thousand years ago, when the great emperor was still alive, he led his twenty sons to conquer the galaxy. Later, his son rebelled and he sat on the Golden Throne. It was at that time that the great state religion was born. I was one of the first members of the state religion. You can call me "Saint Ives".

Kayans exclaimed in surprise: "So you've lived for ten thousand years? I must be dreaming?"

Saint Ives nodded and said: That's right, you're dreaming, but I have indeed lived for ten thousand years. Today I'm here to tell you that Russell is not a good person. He is a scourge, an incarnation of the devil.

“No, that’s impossible. I know him. He’s my good brother!” Cayan interrupted Saint Ives.

Saint Ives shook his head and said: You two have never been good brothers because you are not related by blood. There are many things you don't know, and I can show you.

With a wave of his hand, Saint Ives conjured a scene in front of Cayans.

Russell was fighting a two-headed demon. Their battle was extremely dangerous. Russell became incredibly powerful and finally killed the two-headed demon. When the demon died, it called Russell "Demon Prince!"

“See that? He’s a demon prince, a demon prince disguised as a human,” Saint Ives said.

Kayans still didn't believe it: "This is a battle from somewhere. Russell is strong, but not this powerful. You must be lying to me."

“Loli Island, don’t you remember?” Saint Ives’s words silenced Cayans.

“He’s a hypocrite, he’s been deceiving you all along, that’s why he’s so powerful,” Saint Ives continued.

Kayans fell completely silent.

“He will become stronger and stronger!” As he spoke, Saint Ives waved his hand again, and another scene appeared in front of Cayans.

"A giant wielding a massive demonic sword, clad in black armor, surrounded by swirling warp energy, was flanked by countless black-armored warriors. By this time, Russell had reached nearly five meters in height. He roared and led a group of blue-armored warriors as he charged toward the giant. The two engaged in a fierce battle, each clash of the entrenching tool and the demonic sword generating a tremendous gust of wind. Finally, Russell severed the black giant's head, grabbed his towering braid, and lifted him up!"

"The enemy Russell killed was Abaddon, the Chaos Warmaster, our Empire's greatest enemy. You can imagine how powerful he will become in the future," Saint Ives said.

Kayans was filled with mixed feelings and didn't know what to say.

"Why can't you be the one to slay the empire's greatest enemy? As long as you trust me, I can help you do it and make you surpass Russell to become the strongest warrior in this empire."

Saint Ives' words excited Cayans.

“I don’t care if Russell is the Demon Prince or not, I still consider him my brother. But I also want to become stronger, and it would be even better if I could surpass Russell. Can you really help me?” Kayans asked expectantly.

Saint Ives laughed: Of course, as long as you listen to me, I will turn you into the strongest person.

This time, Cayans didn't hesitate and said: I'm willing to listen to you, Lord Saint Ives. I hope you can help me.

Saint Ives laughed happily and said, "Very good, I'll help you right away."

As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of multicolored light appeared in Saint Ives's palm, and this light slowly entered Cayans's body.

"This light has changed your physique. From now on, I will come to give you holy light every day, and you will become stronger and stronger."

Kayans was overjoyed and said: Thank you so much, Lord Saint Ives.

Saint Ives nodded in satisfaction and said, "I'm leaving now, but I'll come back tomorrow."

After saying that, Saint Ives disappeared, and Cayans woke up. He sat up, felt his body had become stronger, and revealed a ferocious smile with satisfaction.

Time flies, and several weeks have passed. They are getting closer and closer to Altrama.

Alteramar is currently ravaged by war, and Titanus received a distress signal as soon as he entered this star system.
