Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

…

"When I see Guilliman later, I don't need you to apologize or say anything nice."

"You only need to say one thing: I will support you in the next war."

"It's that simple."

The Eagle of Chogoris and the Lion of Caliban walk the corridors of Macragge's Glory.

After two days of continuous persuasion, Ryan's heart was finally completely opened by Chagatai.

And under Jaghatai's persuasion, Lion believed that he should express his position to Guilliman.

If it were ten thousand years ago, Chagatai's attempt to persuade Ryan would have a success rate infinitely close to zero.

But ten thousand years later, this matter has become much easier.

The much more mature Lion knew very well that he should not doubt Guilliman, but should also accept the close cooperation between the Empire and Talon.

But for Ryan, it is one thing to know something, and another thing to accept it or not.

In any case, Ryan is more obedient now, relatively speaking.

"I'm a bitch, these three words feel very disgusting to me," said Ryan.

"But sometimes just three words have great power. The feud between you and Guilliman will be alleviated, and even the relationship between the Dark Angels and the Ultramarines will be changed because of the change in the relationship between the two of you. Transformation has occurred." Chagatai patiently persuaded, "Father created an organ called the mouth for us, and its function is not only to allow us to eat and drink like Russ."

Upon hearing Jaghatai's evaluation of Russ, Ryan frowned and wiped the beard on his chin: "I agree."

The two walked quickly towards the command deck of Macragge's Glory.

This meeting was not only organized by Jaghatai contacting Guilliman, but also at Guilliman's own request.

So when the two originals entered the command deck, all the crew members on the deck left.

But Guilliman wasn't the only one here, there was also a blonde woman.

"I want to talk to you about something." Lion winked at Guilliman and motioned to Guilliman to get the woman out so that the conversation between the brothers could be conducted in privacy.

But Guilliman was indifferent, as if all his wisdom had disappeared and he became a simple man who couldn't even observe words and emotions.

"Meet our father, brother." Guilliman introduced Vanessa, "This is our father, a pure..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lion rushed forward and held down Guilliman's head, ruffling his hair vigorously.

"Have you been chipped by the Tyrones?"

According to the conspiracy theory of some people in some institutions in the empire, the reason why no rebellion broke out in the Tyrone sector is that control chips were implanted in the heads of civilians.

In Ryan's opinion, Guilliman must have been equipped with a control chip to call a girl who was obviously a Tyronian dressed as father.

"I feel like you have more chips in your head than you have white hair!"

"Calm down and listen to me!" Guilliman pushed Ryan away angrily.

He is shorter than Ryan, which means Ryan can easily look down on his scalp.

Guilliman hated behaviors that easily highlighted the height difference, such as holding his head and pulling his hair.

"Father."

While Llane was wondering if Guilliman was mad, Jaghatai was already on one knee, saluting the Emperor.

Ryan looked at Jaghatai in shock, and then looked at Vanessa.

At this moment, he felt like he was back in Caliban ten thousand years ago.

At that time, a large spaceship landed, and a tall and handsome-looking man wearing cool gold armor walked out of the spacecraft.

Then the man spoke and said I am your father.

"Guilliman is right, Lion." The Emperor pointed to his golden pupils, "You should have recalled something."

At this time, Ryan was very sure that the woman in front of him was his father.

It’s not that this woman’s appearance is that of a father, but that it refers to what’s inside and what’s attached to her.

As soon as Ryan came in, he felt a lot of things from Vanessa, but he didn't dare to admit it.

"This father is different from the father who sits on the throne and inflicts mental torture on you. He is a humanity that was abandoned ten thousand years ago, a very pure humanity." Guilliman continued, "So if you find him It’s a bit weird and difficult to deal with, so don’t be surprised.”

"Hmm." The emperor nodded.

Although the emperor looked very calm on the surface, he had long wanted to run away.

He had only met Guilliman and Sanguinius. It wasn't that he didn't have time to see Lion and Jaghatai, but that he really didn't want to.

For Lion, the Emperor's human will felt guilty.

Ryan pursues the position of war commander, but Lane does not pursue the position of war commander.

What he wanted was actually recognition. He hoped that his son, who had contributed as much as Horus, would be valued as much as his father was for Horus.

The Emperor is ashamed of this.

If the relationship between him and Ryan is compared with the relationship between father and son in a normal family, it means that Ryan is outstanding but does not get rewards. When he wants to ask for rewards from his father, his father will say that you are not an ordinary child, you don’t need Those rewards I gave to my other sons.

"Guilliman, when did you discover our father?" Lion asked, staring at the Emperor.

"Sanguinius and I met him a long time ago."

"I treat you as a brother but you hide it from me!"

When Lion wanted to continue to hold Guilliman accountable, the Emperor spoke: "Quiet, find a place to sit down, and then we will talk."

Ryan shut his mouth and sat down, with an obvious expression of dissatisfaction on his face.

As usual, he was cursing and swearing.

The Emperor then looked towards Jaghatai.

The reason why he doesn't want to see Ryan is because he feels guilty, and the reason why he doesn't want to see Chagatai is...

"Please take a seat." The emperor motioned.

"Thank you." Chaghatai brought a chair and sat down.

The two of them treated each other with respect like strangers, and there was a trace of embarrassment in the air.

Ten thousand years ago, before the Emperor sat on the Golden Throne, the relationship between him and Jaghatai was as it was now, very polite, no quarrels, but also without emotion.

The Emperor knew very well that the truth of his empire was nonsense in the eyes of Jaghatai, and the empire he had created made Jaghatai dissatisfied in every way.

Jaghatai did not give in or harbor bad intentions like the Traitor Primarch. He knew very well that the truth of the Empire was a lie, and that the Empire established by the Emperor was unbearably oppressive.

The Emperor is indeed bad, but Chaos is even worse.

Of two rotten apples, you have to choose the less rotten one.

Jaghatai will still obey orders, because he has no choice, and he is too lazy to pretend to the Emperor: I know that you treat me as a tool, and I don't believe that you have any feelings for me. You'd better not pretend to be one. As a father, everyone should do whatever they are supposed to do and nothing else.
