Evil will not deceive you

Horus could not understand Guilliman's thoughts, but Guilliman could not understand Horus's thoughts either.

Because at this moment, there are still many things in the world that need them to be busy, to create, and to solve.

But for Guilliman, Horus is constantly trying to solve all the problems in one go, so in Guilliman's eyes, Horus is incomprehensible.

Because it is too difficult, there is almost no hope of ending in the short term. During this period when Azeroth has not fully grown, no one can fight against the six forces. Without another person to pull the power of the six forces, Li Ke can't return to normal.

And if you want to fight against the six forces at this time, either destroy their Azeroth, use the power of Azeroth like exhausting the pond to catch fish, and let the birth of Azeroth have countless problems, so that the six forces will seize the opportunity.

This is not advisable. Although there are problems with the current empire, most of the institutions and mainstream thoughts are not problematic. As long as they maintain the empire until the birth of Azeroth, they can completely solve the problem.

Guilliman knew that his father would be tortured endlessly during this period, but he also knew that his father would never want his life's work to go to waste.

The people of the empire, they are all his children, all his hard work, so Guilliman does not think that destroying the empire to save his father is what his father wants to see.

This is different from when he taught himself and others.

His father would never want his children to be people who betray their responsibilities, their goals, glory, and hope!

"But... isn't this a bit too cruel to Horus?"

Guilliman stroked the pillars of Li Ke's palace. When Li Ke did not need to maintain the isolation network with all his strength, he and his father had been here to relax, just himself and his father.

And at that time...

In a trance, Guilliman saw the phantom of his father Li Ke talking to him here.

"Guilliman, do you think human life is more important, or human belief is the most important?"

How did he answer at that time?

Guilliman was silent for a moment, and he remembered that what he answered at that time was——

"Life, father, only those who have life can talk about faith, and without life, there is nothing."

How did his father answer?

"Both are important, Guilliman, faith is because of responsibility and love, and life itself has no meaning, or life itself is meaningful, but as the master of life, we ourselves need a meaning."

He remembered that his father's expression at that time was very painful, as if he had been carrying shackles.

"I have betrayed my own beliefs for many things, and deceived myself that it was a small means for the greater good, but after this step, I slowly realized that the last thing a person can betray is himself, betraying his own beliefs, and if you carry out your beliefs in a difficult world, it is the greatest practice in life."

At that time, his father's hand was on his shoulder, and he didn't quite understand why his father said such inexplicable words to him.

But now I understand.

"No matter what, don't regret sticking to your duty, Guilliman, and be firm in your own beliefs, because once the beliefs are betrayed, it is almost impossible for you to repair them."

He didn't understand this a long time ago, but now he really understands it.

He can't save his father.

He knows that Horus is right as a son, and it is also right for the Warmaster of the Empire to be eager to welcome his father back, but as the acting emperor of the Empire.

He can't be so extreme and so desperate.

Yes, if he welcomes his father back, then even if Azeroth is destroyed, he can rebuild Azeroth with the help of his father's power.

But what if not?

Sacrificing Azeroth but not welcoming his father back, what about everything his father cares about? What about everything his father loves?

What about his brothers and sisters?

What about his friends, his mother, those who admire them, admire his father, and regard the Empire as their greatest belief?

And just as Guilliman was thinking, Magnus suddenly arrived.

"Guilliman, Horus is very angry about this."

"I know."

Guilliman did not look back, but the image of his father disappeared because of Magnus' arrival.

This was not Magnus' fault, but Guilliman himself thought that his father was kidnapped by the six forces because of Magnus and others.

Everyone knew that Magnus was not to blame, but every time they saw Magnus, they would think that it was because of him that his father was forcibly promoted by the six forces and turned into a god.

Even he was no exception.

So, Guilliman's mood towards Magnus was also very complicated.

"Magnus...you..."

He opened his mouth, his heart full of guilt for his brother, but Magnus spoke very calmly.

"Show your disgust, my brother, no need to feel guilty, this is what I deserve."

He slowly walked to Guilliman's side, clenched the staff in his hand, and then spoke.

"Horus will rebel, and you must step up your defense of the Well of Eternity."

Magnus's first words made Guilliman open his eyes wide, and then he realized that this was indeed done by Horus. After all, for Horus, this was what he had to do. matter.

However, Guilliman cared about one thing more.

"Are you asking for help from the Six Forces again? The prophecies are all scams prepared by the Six Forces... Why are you still doing this?"

His voice was unusually serious, but Magnus still spoke calmly.

"Because if they want to deceive us, they will not let go of the opportunity of the prophecy. The prophecy is both a trap and an opportunity, and it will become the information they leak. Guilliman, especially now that they are ready to make a move."

Magnus paused before speaking again.

"Although I don't know what their plan was, whether this imminent move was a scam or something else, they must have made a big move, because no matter what kind of force it was, it revealed that Horus raised the flag of rebellion. , and try to raid the Well of Eternity, the demons, and the Shadow Realm may make big moves, so you must be on guard."

"The Shadow Realm..."

Guilliman narrowed his eyes, and he immediately thought of Denathrius, a guy his father once said was a standard vampire who would betray him when necessary.

"Didn't Mr. Denathrius break away from the shackles of the Force long ago with the help of Azeroth?"

And Magnus's answer was quite straightforward.

"My father is not here, and the Six Forces are eager to fight us and get Azeroth. This is his last chance to win. Do you think such an ambitious man can endure this temptation?"

Guilliman was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"I understand...you, go tell Horus."

Guilliman looked to the sky and closed his eyes.

His father once told him that the best way to solve a problem is not to ignore him, but to use him, face him squarely, and eliminate him completely.

He didn't want to kill his brother completely, but he also knew that there must be brothers in the empire who had the same idea as Horus.

You absolutely can’t get to that point!

Guilliman, clenched his fist!

He is not joking, but he will never allow such a thing to happen in the empire, because once the Emperor's Sons fight internally, the empire will split and decline in an instant!

That's not to say that these people will fight each other once. They will definitely break up their brothers and sisters, and their mothers and their supporters will inevitably fight. The chaotic battle that swept the entire world that countless people once wanted to avoid will come true. The Empire The fair and righteous people will turn into vicious dogs that escape the reins and will never stop until the entire universe is burned up!

So what Horus did is absolutely not allowed and absolutely impossible!

"I don't think he will listen to us. Guilliman, Horus, he is in danger now and must be dealt with! Otherwise, more brothers will agree with his plan. If we kill him now, only one of us will die. brother!"

Magnus said these words in pain, but Guilliman looked at Magnus and couldn't help but think about the fact that he was bewitched by the Six Forces, so he took action against the isolation network at the critical moment. Subconsciously——

Ignoring Magnus, who got the news that Horus wanted to rebel because of the intelligence from the Six Forces!

However, Guilliman's sense of responsibility still allowed him to give what he thought was the safest way to deal with the matter.

"I will ask our brothers to keep an eye on him. Sanguinius will go to talk to Horus in my place. Angron will also go with his Chapter, two scions of the Emperor and a full Chapter. , even if Horus surrenders to the Force, it will be enough!"

He paused before speaking.

"After all, the empire currently has many enemies and many things to do. Magnus, we cannot lack too much power and manpower."

Guilliman took a deep breath, then left the palace and continued to work.

And Magnus stood there, clenching the scepter in his hand painfully.

Because the saddest thing about prophecy is——

The prophecy cannot be changed!

"Is it really enough? Guilliman, I hope your arrangement works. I hope my prediction will never come true."

Magnus didn't know what he should say, because he also knew that what he saw was what the Six Forces wanted him to see, not the real future. So, he spoke slowly.

"hope……"
