Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

"I think he may have been terminated, and then merged into the cold sun in the subspace, becoming part of many wills." The Emperor himself said, "In the past, I could feel the expansion of the cold sun. It's just 10,000 years of torture, and so many of me are not all broken." When speaking, the Emperor seemed a little depressed: "Is there not a single universe in which I successfully completed my goal?" "There are not many universes, at least not many now." Qin Mo told the Emperor what the Star Scroll told him, "The reality we are in is the most solid, strong and complete. Maybe the universe that Vulcan was swept away to is extremely fragile... I don't think it's just reality alone. The failure of the warp is enough to make the warp overlap with a reality. "

The Emperor sighed, adjusted his mentality, and patted Vulkan on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work. You finally returned, and you have to face a lot of messes again."

"When I was desperate in another reality, I found that I just regarded the place where I was dragged into as my original home, and my original home was still holding on, I didn't feel any hardship." Vulkan's hand rested on the Emperor's hand on his shoulder, "I can still contribute to the survival of the human species, and I still have the opportunity to contribute. This is a great happiness for me. "

The Emperor opened his mouth, and finally just nodded lightly.

"Where's Russ?" Vulkan looked at the other brothers, "And Dorn, and Corax... I thought they had returned."

When mentioning Corax, Guilliman shook his head helplessly: "Dorn, Russ, their whereabouts are still unknown, but I estimate that they will be found soon. As for Corax, he has been found, but he may return to humans, or he may not. At least now it seems more likely that he will not."

"What happened to Corax?" Vulkan asked with concern.

"He..." Guilliman recalled the appearance of Corax he saw during the Golden Crusade. "He has changed a lot. When I saw him, I couldn't believe it was Corax. He looked like a... a warp creature, but one thing has not changed, that is, he is still on the side of humanity, just like you and us." "I don't understand why Corax hasn't come back if that's the case." Vulkan shook his head. "The external appearance is not real. The inner is the most important. Corax is still fighting for humanity, so humans can still accept him. He can continue to fight all enemies for humanity and Imperial Truth." Hearing Vulkan suddenly mention Imperial Truth, Sanguinius was silent, Guilliman sneered with a little anger, Lion turned his head away, and Chagatai grinned. This strange reaction made Vulkan puzzled. "He returned during the Beast War. I thought he knew what happened." Qin Mo smiled and shook his head, "You should talk to Vulkan." In Vulkan's confused eyes, Guilliman used one sentence to make Vulkan understand all the changes. "If Corax returns as decisively as you said, he will not face the enemy's artillery fire, but the hostility and fear from humans, not because of what he did, but just because of his appearance." Hearing this, Vulkan was stunned. "What are you talking about?" Ryan patted Vulkan's head, "You returned during the Beast War, and you don't know what changes have taken place in the Empire?" Vulkan shook his head. He did return during the Beast War, but he didn't stay for a long time, let alone travel around to understand the current situation of the Empire. The situation was urgent at the time, and Vulkan almost immediately joined the war after returning, and then exchanged one for one with the beast. However, if there is something wrong, he did feel it, but he didn't understand it in detail, so he naturally didn't know the reason. "The Imperial Truth is a lie." Guilliman said, "A bigger lie replaced it, the State Religion was born, and humans have now completely abandoned science and reason. They worship our father as a god, and then persecute those who do not worship him. If you were the Primarch, and you said you don't think our father is a god, the State Religion would dare to argue with you for a few days." Although Vulkan is honest and kind, he is not dull and stupid. When Guilliman talked about the State Religion and faith, Vulkan immediately thought of everything that might happen, and understood why Corax was unwilling to return. "But Corax has his own considerations for not coming back. After all, even if the Empire can't accommodate him like that, he can go somewhere else." Guilliman looked back at Qin Mo. Qin Mo raised his eyebrows and added: "When Vulkan returned, it should be 546.M32, and the Pope of the State Religion became the High Lord in 500.M32. Perhaps the State Religion had not developed so fast at that time, so Vulkan did not see it. In short, the fact is as Guilliman said, everything has changed." Vulkan was completely serious and solemn now. He did not care much about the affairs of the State Religion. After all, no matter what human beings think, they are still human beings. It would be wishful thinking if the empire did not suffer a heavy blow and human beings did not change after the Horus Heresy. In any case, as a warrior, do what you should do as a warrior. Human beings will not no longer need to be protected and defended because of changes in their thoughts. What Vulkan really felt heavy was the current situation that he did not understand.

After being swept into another universe by the subspace, Vulkan's experience as a gravekeeper for traces of humanity affected him, and he was terrified of the extremely horrific ending that humans would fall into.

There was a war going on right now, and Vulkan felt somewhat imminent.

"What's the current situation of mankind?" Vulkan spoke with difficulty, ready to bear a heavy crisis.

"Actually, it's not bad." Guilliman clapped his fingers and told Vulkan. "Abaddon, the First Captain of the Sons of Horus, is dead. We now have powerful allies. We fought a war to completely close the Eye of Terror. , you should know that Horus is dead, Turabo is missing, Fulgrim enjoys himself every day and cares about nothing, Magnus’s soul is not complete, and Mortarion was beaten while I was lying down. Win... Right now we are facing a group of skeletons who want to exterminate humanity."

"Eye of Terror?" Vulkan wondered.

"Cygnus Anomaly-X is the anomalous astronomical phenomenon discovered by Turab, which instills spiritual energy into the real universe." Guilliman explained.

After hearing this, Vulkan lowered his head and digested what he heard.

Then his hanging heart dropped with a bang, and he raised his head with a smile on his face: "Looking at how serious you are, I thought we were besieged on all sides. Either another orc warlord came to Terra or those who rebelled. I broke out of Cygnus Anomaly X again, and the situation is pretty good now.”

"Hmph." Ryan crossed his arms on his chest and said in a deep voice, "When you and your heirs are ready, I will immediately deploy you into the most difficult battle. I hope I can see you again next time. How can you be so optimistic?"

"Just drive me." Vulkan smiled and nodded, "Send me to the place where mortals have the most difficulty and need me the most. Anywhere will do."
