Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

"Come on, come on! I'm standing right here! The Emperor is my witness! I'll give you a chance to deal with me!"

The few lights in the small conference room were shattered by Calvin's roar, but fortunately there were no mortals present, and the dim light did not hinder these supermen's vision.

"Please calm down your anger!" The leader of the Lamenters shouted to Calvin. Adelaide behind him also advised him in the same way, but the former's anger had not yet calmed down, so the two had to turn their eyes for help. Looking at Alan Janus aside.

After receiving the two's requests for help, the latter helplessly spread his hands to show his powerlessness.

This is a very easy to understand truth:

When it comes to who is most affected by a Primarch's rage, it is his direct descendants who bear the brunt.

Allen has experienced Calvin's wrath for the first time in nearly a hundred years since he started following Calvin. As the only Gray Knight present, he was actually the one who suffered the most serious impact.

"Speak!" Calvin continued to use words to flog Moloch, who was pushed into the corner and shut himself up. The latter's response was also quite straightforward:

"Do not hit!"

"Why! I gave you a chance!"

"Can't beat it!"

"..." Calvin's facial muscles began to twitch, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise. He was really angry at this unsavory thing and laughed.

"You won't fight, right? Then I'll fight!" He gestured to take a step in the direction of Moloch, and the frightened three people hurriedly hugged him.

But the huge force contained in his body was something that the three of them could not stop. The steel soles of the magnetic boots were striking sparks with the ground at full output, but they still could not stop him from getting closer and closer.

They could only look anxiously back and forth between Calvin and Moloch, using their eyes to signal the latter to leave the room quickly and avoid the limelight.

But Moloch, who had caused all this, instinctively did not choose to run away. Instead, he squatted down with his head in his hands as if he was doing whatever he wanted.

"Mad!" Calvin finally stopped when he looked at the savage bull across from him.

He really had murderous intentions for a moment just now, and the expression of this emotion was so obvious. For a moment, everyone present thought that they were not facing a person, but a mountain that was about to overturn. The huge feeling of powerlessness made the three people instinctively hold back his steps to prevent the crisis from becoming a reality.

Calvin also recovered from his impulse and pointed in Moloch's direction with his hand bitterly.

Just now, as long as this cow dared to escape from this room, the resistance of the three people around him was a joke. He could even use brute force to throw the three people away without using psychic powers, and then catch up with the cow in a few steps. Locke beheaded him on the spot.

The exquisite terminator power armor, the martial arts that can confront the Forbidden Army, those so-called advantages are like rabbits waiting to be slaughtered in front of him, whether it is bigger or smaller makes no difference.

But the guy in front of me is really carrying out his "reality" to the end, and he really doesn't want to run away.

This attitude of being willing to fight but willing to suffer made Calvin wary. He could not break the hearts of the other two veterans just because of him.

At first, the murderous intention faded away like a tide, but after recovering, Calvin began to appreciate this fool who in a sense had the skills of "survival wisdom" and "cunning and cruelty" fully equipped.

At least this kind of person is simple enough, and his principles of doing things are simple and clear. As long as his demands can be met, his loyal soldiers can absolutely be trusted.

"Okay! No beating, right? Then the punishment is inevitable! Do you admit it or not?"

Calvin threw the three pendants aside, thought about it for a while, and then said to Moloch who was still squatting.

"Admit it! You have the final say!"

Moloch replied, walking back from the corner in the eyes of the three people who had just realized Calvin's true power in horror.

"How many times is it now for you?"

Sighing, Calvin walked up to him. After looking at Moloch intently for a while, he asked a question that confused the others.

"The third time...how did you know?" Moloch raised his head and looked at Calvin in surprise.

"The physical strength becomes stronger and stronger every time you change the body, but your emotions are getting less and less, right?"

After thinking about it carefully with a frown, Calvin concluded in a positive tone.

"Yes...every time you die, you become stronger. But the memory becomes less and less. Now, I can only remember my origin, but I can't remember many things from back then."

The words that Moloch said made the pupils of the other three people dilate instantly.

He has died! And it seems to have been resurrected in the bodies of other battle group members!

"Soul Shifter...I really don't know if it's your luck or your battle group's misfortune."

Calvin's tone was a little complicated, and he understood that the initiator of this scene was not the person in front of him.

But being reborn at the expense of one's own comrades is really not a curse or a blessing...

Thinking of this, Calvin decided to end this tragedy in his own hands. He turned back to look at Alan Janus, who stood up straight under his eyes to show his readiness.

"Ask Father Constantine if he has a way to get an Astartes-level gene modulation cabin. There is no need for secondary synthesis of genes or diversification. The original genetic blueprint is ready. As long as a single Just the product line. The technical difficulty shouldn’t be that big, right?”

"As ordered!" Alan Janus responded loudly, turned around and walked out of the conference room.

After giving instructions to Allen, Calvin looked back at Moloch and said to him seriously:

"I have solved half of your problem now. The rest will be painful. Are you willing?"

"Yes! Thank you... thank you for your kindness!"

It's not that Moloch has no emotions, it's just that his weak humanity and special way of expression prevent most people from understanding his emotions.

Seeing the recruits of his war group become his puppets, and their consciousness and personality can only be built on false souls, he felt guilty in his heart.

But what can he do? His duty is to fight, and his abilities are limited to fighting. He was born to fight, but other directions were beyond his control.

The high lord regarded him as a sharp sword to kill dissenters, but apart from the generosity of war supplies, he never had any real intention to help him.

The founding regiment regarded these war groups that cursed the founding of the army as bastards. Even the Lamenters and the Fire Eagle have never received the serious attention and recognition of their parent regiment.

In their eyes, these cursed people are nothing more than failures in cooperation with the Mechanicus.

Even they were in this situation, let alone the orphans of the traitorous Primarch like Moloch.

But this time he met Calvin unexpectedly. Although the situation was so dangerous that he almost lost his life here, the strange original body in front of him was the first person who really wanted to solve the problem for him.

"Then get ready. I can't solidify your soul directly, that is no different from killing you. But I will try to make an anchor point for your memory so that you don't lose too much memory when you regain consciousness in the future. "

As Calvin finished speaking, the light of psychic energy in his hand lit up again.

It was a small change on the soul side, essentially similar to, but different from, the psychic anchors he originally gave his Honor Guard.

Moloch had no psychic talent to begin with, and after being reborn twice, it is unknown how strong his soul still is.

Calvin did not dare to go too deep and could only use his own power to exert a fixed seed on the outside of his soul.

Let them slowly absorb the soul's escaping power over time, allowing them to blend in and grow, increasing the soul's strength in a slow but gentle way.

The actual operation didn't take much time, and Moloch only felt a slight sting.

When Calvin put away his psychic energy and stepped back, the latter blinked in confusion, as if asking how it ended so quickly.

"Okay, that's it for now. Don't feel relaxed. When you really use it, you will know the pain involved."

Calvin said to Moloch that if nothing unexpected happened to Constantine, the single-body cloning technology should not be difficult.

After that, Moloch himself was responsible for the source of new recruits for the Tauren Chapter. And when he was unfortunately killed in battle again, the reincarnated body would be his own, so there would be nothing to feel guilty about.

But since then, because their faces are too similar, these clones may have to wear helmets all the time to hide their faces.

Calvin also dealt with the problem of the loss of the soul. It can be regarded as filling in the last missing piece in this cycle.

The matter between Moloch and the Tauren Chapter was finally over, and Calvin finally had the energy to discuss their issues with the other two Chapter Masters.

"Your seed purification can begin now, but regarding the issue of active soldiers, I suggest you make your own choice."

"What's the difference?"

The two Chapter Masters can now obey Calvin, but he does not want to take too much leadership in this matter.

He looked in the direction of the door, and after using his psychic power to confirm that Allen had not returned, he said to the two chapter leaders:

"I can give you two options. One is a soldier whose alienation is not serious, and I can try to purify it; the other is like Allen, because the alienation is too serious, I can only cover his with my own blood. Gene expression, thereby transforming it into a Gray Knight."

"This is a good thing!" Adelaide said.

"Even if they can't serve in the battle group, after solving the mutation, they can still serve the emperor in another form, and they can even meet with us occasionally..."

He contemplates that scenario, but Calvin ruthlessly interrupts him.

"Absolutely impossible! Every Gray Knight has the basic requirement not to reveal his true name and origin. He must completely forget the past and get a new start!"

"Your Majesty! What do you mean..." Halfway through, Adelaide understood what Calvin meant.

"Isn't Alan Janus his original name?" the leader of the Lamenters asked tentatively.

Once this suspicion occurred, the tall figure became more familiar in his memory.

He knew that he should have touched on some areas that were forbidden by Calvin, so he quickly ordered himself to stop these thoughts and decided to cleanse his memory later.

"This is not something you should know!" Calvin decisively stopped the topic.

"yes!"

They both performed the Eagle Salute at the same time, then stood up in silence and looked at each other.

"We will lose these warriors forever, won't we?" the leader of the Lamenters said with difficulty.

"But it's still better than them dying in a dishonorable way," Firehawk's Adelaide added.

"It seems we have no choice." The leader of the Lamenters lowered his head and felt sad for this painful choice, and Adelaide stood beside him unspeakably.

"Attention!" Calvin reminded the two of them.

"Not everyone is qualified. I only want warriors with strong will. Otherwise, they will not be able to pass the genetic transformation. The fate of the weak will not change, and they can only die miserably. 400 people is the limit of my ability. I don't want one more!" After saying this, Calvin turned and walked out, and boarded the ship with Allen who was coming towards him and returned to the St. Chris.

What should be said has been said, and the rest is the choice of these war groups.

Two days later, Calvin, accompanied by Father Constantine, secretly boarded the "King of Raptors" interstellar fortress from a backup passage.

Witnessed by several war group leaders, Calvin purified the 1,700 gene seeds they concentrated in the medical hall, and then applied psychic intervention to the new recruits in the transformation process on the Fire Eagle's King of Raptors and the Lamenters' Storm Daughter battle barge.

Losses were inevitable, and at least 100 seeds and 50 recruits failed to survive Calvin's intervention, and turned into a pool of festering tissue in the eyes of everyone's regret...

In the whole process, except for the commander himself, only the commander's great pharmacist or the holy blood priests of the Sanguinius bloodline accompanied him.

These commanders were not allowed to tell any other information or ask any questions except Calvin's identity as a Grey Knight.

The purification process lasted for a whole month. When the commander of the Weepers sent the second batch of seeds left in the outside world for safety and purified them, the matter was completely completed.

After this, Calvin also completely returned to his previous height due to the use of psychic energy, and his aura became stronger.

After a long period of suppression by the power of time and space, the psychic energy that was revived again had obviously undergone some qualitative changes, and a purer will was carried and expressed in his psychic energy.

In addition to his experience as a superior for nearly a hundred years. Calvin's momentum became extremely amazing after the combination of living to nourish the body and moving to nourish the qi.

Often, just looking at him would make an Astartes breathless.

But Calvin knew that with his complete recovery, his strength had also entered a critical state. The time he could stay in this world was getting shorter and shorter.

The Fire Eagle and the Lamenters made a difficult choice. They spent a month to confirm the list of people who could enter Calvin's transformation.

They repeatedly considered it, and only sent these people to the Saint Chris with regret until Calvin urged them.

400 Astartes, 400 veterans who were evaluated as the most experienced and determined in the war group.

Only such warriors would persist in the long-term mutation, and only such warriors would have the opportunity to survive the transformation that Calvin said was a life-and-death transformation.

When these warriors were told where they were going before leaving and were ordered to take off their power armor with the war group mark, which they thought would accompany them for the rest of their lives, these iron-boned men could not help but shed tears.

The two chapter leaders were not feeling well either, as they had to watch these core members leave the chapter and have nothing to do with it anymore.

According to Calvin, what awaits them is likely a long hibernation.

That is to say, from now on, they will be separated forever...
