Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

Time seems to have stopped.

Lion knew how Guilliman was resurrected, and also knew that Evrené had helped Guilliman and stayed on Terra, waiting for the original body to have time to talk about forming an alliance with the Death Army.

This is normal diplomacy.

Under the current situation, the empire needs help, Ryan can understand.

But what does it mean to talk to the Alien Prophet face to face like an old friend?

Guilliman didn't explain, because he couldn't.

Say you are talking about business?

Business should be discussed in public, at a table more than ten meters long, with Guilliman and the high lords sitting on one side, and various senior leaders of the Death Army sitting on the other.

Rather than like now.

Evelene was sensitive to the deeper reasons behind Ryan's change in attitude.

Lion walked in with a smile and wanted to share something interesting with Guilliman.

This behavior shows that Llane is no longer like what Guilliman said ten thousand years ago. He suspected Guilliman of evil intentions and ambition, and accepted him as his brother and was willing to work hand in hand with him.

Ryan's attitude at this time showed that he was suspicious of Guilliman again.

And indeed it is.

Lion had just finished a journey full of doubts about the Tyron Sector, and then saw Guilliman, who had a good relationship with the ruler of the Tyron Sector, having a private conversation with the alien again.

This is so suspicious.

If it were ten thousand years ago, Ryan would have drawn his sword long ago.

The reason why he has not drawn his sword now is because Lion believes that Guilliman has proved his loyalty to his father and humanity. He ran his own country within a country ten thousand years ago because he liked to do it, not because he was saving money for rebellion. strength.

This made Lion even feel guilty for once suspecting Guilliman's ambition.

Know that Guilliman is loyal.

I think Guilliman is still ambitious.

These two contradictory views coexisted in Lane's mind.

Twist.

In this moment where time seemed to stand still, Lion and Evrene each had their own thoughts, while Guilliman wanted to talk.

If Llane became furious and cursed, this was exactly what Guilliman wanted.

Because it proves that Ryan wants to communicate.

However, Llane's reaction disappointed Guilliman.

"Get out of here, my brother and I have something to discuss." Ryan glared at Efreni and motioned for him to get out.

Efreni saluted decently, turned and left.

Efreni acted very calmly when she passed by Ryan, but in fact her heartbeat was already six times that of a human heartbeat. She was worried that Ryan would stab her in the back.

But Lion didn't. He watched the Death Prophet leave, heard Evrené's footsteps immediately quickening as she walked out of the room, and then glared at Guilliman.

The glare quickly disappeared.

To be precise, it was hidden.

"I went to support Tai Lung as you said, but they..."

"I know, Ryan."

Guilliman had long known about the annihilation of Hive Fleet Leviathan.

Because he and Qin Mo have a communicator that can communicate directly, and with the help of communication stations in the dimensional space, real-time communication across light years can be carried out.

And Qin Mo also directly said what methods he used.

So Guilliman also knew about the Sun Engine.

This is communication and communication. Precisely because Qin Mo took the initiative to say that Guilliman knew about it, he would not think wildly.

"you……"

Ryan only said one word and swallowed it back.

He wanted to ask Guilliman, how did you know the news in advance than me, the Warmaster?

I'm using Dimension Engine!

But Lion still didn't ask, because he didn't think Guilliman would tell the truth.

What kind of education did Guilliman, a primarch designed for war, receive from his adoptive parents to become a ruler who is good at dealing with things?

Lion didn't know, he only felt that 40% of what Guilliman said was intentional or unintentional manipulation, just like how he dealt with the high lords on Terra.

"Dude, we gotta talk."

Guilliman stood up and poured a glass of strong wine for Lion himself, then pulled Lion to sit down.

Ryan sat down silently, pretending to be indifferent, and drank the wine in one gulp.

This is the wine donated by the state religion to the Son of God. The people of the state religion proudly introduced to Guilliman that this wine was brewed by serfs from a religious world. It was filled with the blood and sweat of the serfs while farming and making wine. They were full of enthusiasm. The Divine Heart brewed this wine to offer to the Son of God.

The most outrageous thing is that Guilliman once sent people to investigate that religious world and found that the serfs there were more active than the state religious institutions in making wine for the primarch.

Guilliman waited for Lion to ask himself, but Lion said nothing.

"Don't you have anything to ask?" Guilliman asked proactively.

"What?" Ryan looked confused, "Are you talking about the alien? It's nothing. After all, she helped you resurrect. You should thank her privately."

"..."

Guilliman was helpless.

Ryan was just like when he faced the Emperor ten thousand years ago.

In my heart, I felt bad that the Emperor allowed me to do many things but didn't give myself the honor I deserved. But on the surface, I just wanted to pretend that nothing happened, didn't say anything, and pretended that nothing happened.

Guilliman was silent for a moment, then asked tentatively: "I know you have a lot of dissatisfaction with me, whether it was ten thousand years ago or now, but what can you say to me?"

If it was Ryan ten thousand years ago, he would definitely have said that and cursed on the spot.

But ten thousand years later, Ryan is less irritable and more rational, and the silence at this time is a side effect of this change.

Lion remained silent, and Guilliman had no choice but to ask another question: "What did my father say when he met you?"

Ryan was silent, lost in memories.

…

"I can see the hostility in your eyes."

"Do you think of my brother the same way?"

Leon and Trajan, the commander of the imperial army, walked side by side.

The Custodes look down on the Space Marines, thinking that they are just a group of guys who like to form brotherhood groups, and they do not possess the rationality that the Custodes possess.

The Adeptus Custodes would certainly not look kindly upon the troubled children who destroyed the great vision for which the Emperor had sacrificed his life.

All that can be said is that there is no place for non-human beings in the future for which the Emperor strives.

Space Marines are not castrated, but there is a reason why they are infertile after undergoing transformation surgery.

Ryan noticed the looks in the eyes of Trajan and the Imperial Guards.

"I still trust you more than Guilliman." Trajan led Ryan to the door of the throne room and made a gesture of invitation. "At least you won't bring a bastard who sneaked into the palace to assassinate the emperor to Thailand. pull."

Before entering the throne room, Lion stopped and asked Trajan with a smile: "To be honest, I have seen the way you talked with Guilliman. I feel like you are planning to assassinate Guilliman."

Trajan and Ryan looked at each other with expressionless faces.

Ryan smiled and walked towards the throne.
