Chapter 90: The Prophecy Re-enacted
"Kill! Slay the false emperor!"
"For Ottaramar! For Guilliman!"
"Extreme Warrior, Never Give Up!"
......
On a war-torn planet, amidst a torrent of blue power armor, Ultramarines wielding explosive rifles and chainswords roared battle cries as they furiously charged toward the Imperial mortal support forces defending the bottom nest front.
Unsurprisingly, the defenses of the mortal auxiliary army were quickly overwhelmed by the Ultra Warriors.
This time, Li Wei possessed an imperial statue in the central square of Hive City, silently watching the Ultramarines mercilessly kill the naked Hive City civilians who were praying to them, but he was powerless to do anything about it.
"What's going on?"
Despite his bewildered expression, Li Wei could clearly sense the power of faith gathered within the imperial statue, gleaning some basic information from it.
All he knows now is that the planet beneath his feet is loyal to the Empire, while the Ultramarines have become a rebel army that burns, kills, and plunders, and is brutally conquering the planet.
However, the reason for this change could not be found in the faith of those believers.
After all, those devout believers were ordinary citizens of the city, and they couldn't possibly know what had happened, but this time Li Wei knew the exact time.
It was the early M31.
Li Wei's heart sank as he recalled that this was the initial time of the outbreak of the Horus rebellion.
He remembered that the Ultramarines were the most steadfast loyalists, how could they possibly rebel?
Could it be that this planet beneath our feet is outwardly loyal to the Empire, but in reality has sided with a rebellious Primarch, thus attracting the Ultramarines to come and reclaim it?
Although Levi kept deceiving himself, he was truly afraid. If Guilliman really did launch a great rebellion in place of Horus, he really didn't know how the Empire could win.
Li Wei knew that Magnus's Thousand Sons Legion was known for its small number of soldiers, while Guilliman's Ultra Warrior Legion was known for its large number of soldiers and stable gene seeds.
If the Ultramarines were to unleash their full potential and mass produce troops, the scene would be unimaginable. The number of Astartes in just one Ultramarines legion could surpass the total number of all other legions combined.
What exactly happened?
Distracted and lost in thought, Li Wei suddenly heard a roar coming from below.
"False Emperor, you deserve to die!" Guilliman roared.
It was Robert Guilliman's voice! Levi was overjoyed and immediately became alert, lowering his head to look at Guilliman, who looked exactly like him in his memory, wearing blue precision-engineered power armor.
Guilliman raised his head high, staring angrily at the statue of the Emperor, about to continue speaking.
The perceptive Guilliman seemed to sense something was wrong. He suddenly leaped to the height of the statue's head, clenched his iron fist, and smashed the head of the imperial statue down with a single punch.
At the same time, Levi's consciousness began to dissipate as the head of the Emperor statue fell, and just as he was about to return to reality, he heard Guilliman's final roar.
"It's you again, False Emperor, possessing this idol! I will conquer Terra, for my..."
"What? I haven't had enough yet! Guilliman hasn't finished speaking!"
Li Wei's consciousness, forcibly interrupted, returned to the familiar dark place. His soul, as if possessing a physical form, rubbed his temples.
"They've been discovered! And was that divine power that Guilliman just wielded?"
Li Wei is still completely baffled; he still doesn't understand what happened.
Why did Guilliman rebel?
How could Guilliman discover that he was possessed?
How did Guilliman acquire divine power?
Moreover, he couldn't even see which of the four Chaos Gods the divine power enveloping Guilliman's fist belonged to.
The next instant, a golden spot appeared in the darkness before Li Wei's eyes, just as it had appeared countless times before.
He effortlessly rushed toward the golden light, only to instantly return to reality.
hum!
Livy's five senses, which he had lost in the dark place, suddenly returned.
"Guilliman, come with me, His Majesty the Emperor awaits you!"
"Please come with me!"
The three Primarchs chatted and laughed as they walked side by side toward the interior of the Imperial Dream.
Regaining his senses, Levi gazed at Guilliman, who was surrounded by Magnus and Horus, and took a deep breath!
He realized that Guilliman's appearance and figure were almost identical to the Guilliman he had prophesied, only his temperament was completely different, and his world-destroying divine power was nowhere to be found.
Guilliman is currently just an ordinary Primarch, and has not even awakened the essence of the warp; he is merely a powerful mortal demigod.
"What a pity." Levi murmured with a complicated expression as he watched Guilliman's figure disappear into the end of the corridor amidst the crowd. "It seems that after this battle with the orcs, we'll have to send someone to keep an eye on Guilliman to prevent everything that was prophesied from happening."
In other words, they didn't know how Guilliman had changed, but they had to send someone to monitor him.
Then we can only send Ahriman there?
Li Wei remembered that it seemed that only Aliman, the company commander of the First Academy, had not yet gone to other legions to learn their combat styles.
Sending Company Commander Qianzi to other corps for exchange and learning was a set rule set by Magnus. The other nine company commanders had all gone to other corps for exchange and learning for several years.
In other words, Ahriman was seriously injured in the Carmenca system, and the First Society also suffered heavy losses in that battle, which meant that Ahriman had neither the time nor the energy to go to other legions for exchanges and learning.
Since none of the Ultra Warriors had ever been there before, visiting the Ultra Warrior Legion under the guise of exchange and learning would be an excellent excuse.
It wasn't until the massive Stormhawk hangar was completely empty that Li Wei snapped out of his daze and quickly followed after them.
Before long, they arrived at the bridge banquet hall where the Emperor had previously welcomed Magnus and Horus.
At this moment, the lights are bright, and the long table is already full of delicacies and fine wines.
With a calm expression, Li Wei quickened his pace slightly as he entered the hall. Under the gentle gaze of Magnus, who was already seated at his designated banquet seat, he walked behind him, pretending to be a silent statue.
Just as Li Wei found his place, the Emperor, still dressed in his golden robes, walked to the main seat, smiled, nodded to Guilliman below him, and said gently:
"My offspring, Primarch Magnus of the Thousand Sons, Primarch Horus of the Shadowmoon Wolves, and the new aid Legion, Primarch Guilliman of the Ultramarines, welcome. You are all the pride of the Imperium."
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, he raised the golden cup in his hand and proclaimed loudly:
"The Orcish Dynasty is unforgivable and destined for destruction!"
"For the Emperor! For humanity!"
"For Prospero! For Chiko!"
"For Alteramar! For the Empire!"
