Warhammer: Opening is a Crisis of Doom

Hearing Abaddon's name, Garviel Loken fell into a brief silence.

The horrified look on his face couldn't be concealed.

The shock that this name brought to his heart was like the stormy waves of the ocean.

To be honest, knowing that Abaddon was being held here was even more shocking to him than seeing the two Primarchs.

Abaddon, Captain of the First Company of the Sons of Horus, Head of the Council of Four Kings.

The most important son of Horus.

During the Great Expedition, he became a company commander early on with his military exploits.

He was the first man under the Primarch of the Sons of Horus Legion.

During the Horus Rebellion, he participated in the battles of Isstvan III and V, massacring a large number of loyalists.

"He's here too?" Gavier Loken said with a slight frown.

"Yes, he is here too. He was captured by the legendary general of the Holy Emperor, Lord Calgar, and sent to Terra. This is his prison and will also be his tomb." Triste nodded and said.

"Let's go, take me to see him." Gavel Loken said.

He fought Abaddon several times.

The first time was in Psalm City on Isstvan III.

The Council of Four Kings was completely broken.

He and Torgaddon fought against Horus the Younger and Abaddon.

Torgaddon also died in that battle.

The second was at the Wall of Saturn during the Siege of Terra.

Abaddon wanted to lead people to break through the palace from under the wall of Saturn, but Dawn sealed everything underneath with quick-drying cement, smothering all the traitors involved in this operation.

Many loyalists died at the hands of Abaddon.

Abaddon was finally besieged, and when he was only one step away from being killed by the loyalists, he was taken away by the rebels' teleportation device.

Since then, there has been no intersection between them.

The Astronomical Torch of Atonement is beyond imagination.

A giant pillar supports a huge dome, which is as magnificent as a miracle building.

Jean-Gavier Loken suspected that such a building was not built by humans.

A giant arch hundreds of meters high, with several statues parallel to the arch standing on both sides.

They hold a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, guarding the Apostle of Atonement like loyal guards.

The turbulent crowd walked by the feet of the statue, their heights only reached the instep of the statue.

The glass depicting various legendary achievements is embedded in the high part of the wall, and the immortal legends of those heroes are written with colorful paintings.

The Imperial Army wore golden armor and patrolled the Astronomical Torch, wary of the troubles that the traitors might bring, and also to prevent the rebels from mingling with the tourist crowd from releasing those monsters.

Of course, their greater duty is to make sightseeing guests aware of the power of the empire.

They hold halberds and wear golden armor that covers their entire body.

Standing on a suspended platform like a god.

Fly over people's heads.

It's like the jailer who imprisoned the evil god in ancient mythology.

The chances of those traitorous prisoners escaping are almost zero.

Present-day Terra is the domain of the Holy Emperor, and the entire galaxy is protected by his power.

The webway also isolates the primordial, chaotic Warp.

Traitors cannot borrow any power from the gods they believe in.

Made of special materials, it can suppress their power to the maximum and weaken their power through the soul siphon.

Sightseeing guests poured in like a tide and walked along the divided corridors.

Watch the traitors who brought countless deaths to the Imperium of Man.

These people turned their backs on the light of humanity and pushed humanity into the abyss.

Traitors are never forgiven.

There will be no forgiveness of any kind.

Any pity and sympathy for him is a betrayal and injury to those who died.

Gavial Loken walked on the wide aisle under Trieste's leadership.

Several statues of Imperial heroes can be seen at intervals.

They stand here as silent guards over these traitors.

Garviel Loken didn't know those people.

But he could feel their perseverance and bravery from those people's eyes.

They have the same courage as their predecessors.

Garviel Loken knew that the Empire had gone through a long period of darkness until the Holy Emperor brought them the long-awaited salvation and dawn.

During those 10,000 years of hardship, human beings suffered a lot.

Blood and dead people fill every moment that the gears of time turn.

Human civilization has entered an unprecedented trough.

Productivity is sluggish.

Science and reason are gone.

Trieste is very familiar with the Apostle of Atonement.

She has received many visitors to Terra and introduced them to the sights.

The Apostle of Atonement is a must-see for those guests.

Trieste led Garviel Loken through the complicated corridors inside the Atonement Astronomical Torch.

The Apostle of Redemption is holding a large number of traitors to the Empire.

Use the Soul Siphon to drain and torture them.

To ensure the projection of the Atonement Astronomical Torch to the subspace.

The corridors connecting these cells are intricate, and it is easy to get lost in them if you don't know your way.

After all, at a glance, there are all people inside, densely packed with human heads.

If you go the wrong way together, you will never find the original way.

Relying on her knowledge of the Apostle of Atonement, Trieste could always choose the correct corridors leading to Abaddon's prison.

After walking for ten minutes, they arrived at Abaddon's prison.

As the Warmaster of Darkness, his status is no less than those of the Demon Primarch.

The guards of the empire gave him a prison of the same size, so that more people could watch at the same time.

There are many tourists.

They came from all directions, from all the frontiers of the empire.

Meet the traitor who brought disaster to the empire.

Abaddon, a name that once terrified countless people.

But now, he is imprisoned in an empty, clean prison, with a soul siphon device installed in his brain, and the pulsating brilliance shines with the roaring machinery, bringing this dark soul blessed by the four gods The human soul is transformed into pure energy and projected into the etheric ocean.

The man who brought darkness to the galaxy is now being watched like a monkey.

no dignity.

When Garviel Loken stood in front of the prison, Abaddon recognized this former colleague.

"Loken."

"Traitor." Gaviel Loken looked at Abaddon in the prison, and spat.

"You are as usual." Abaddon said weakly,

Soul siphons and chains are constantly weakening him.

All the sufferings that the emperor had suffered were engraved on him.

No one can take that pain.

Fulgrim would have screamed for it too.

The soul siphon device used by the Apostle of Atonement is designed according to the design of the Golden Throne.

It was a torture device that even dark elves would fear.

Abaddon would rather be blasted to pieces by the Empire on the battlefield than stay here any longer.

Unfortunately, he does not have the power to choose.

The empire even took away the right of traitors to commit suicide.

Guilliman is really not humane at all.

"It seems that you have lost." Gavier Loken showed a mocking look, "The gods you preached are not able to save us."

"The gods underestimated Guilliman." Abaddon said the name with hatred.

After thousands of years of forbearance, it took painstaking efforts to combine the believers of the gods like a piece of loose sand, and tore apart the galaxy with the help of thirteen dark expeditions.

I thought it was only the last step away from the final victory.

Who would have thought that it was the beginning of destruction.

Guilliman's resurrection changed everything.

The original advantage was gone, and they were reduced to prisoners.

The forces of the gods have retreated to the subspace, and they need to accumulate strength again before they can launch a counterattack against the real world.

"This is your doomed end." Gavier Loken said, "From the time you decided to betray, your end has been doomed."

"That was not betrayal. The Empire was created by us, Loken. We fought for it. We built it with blood, sweat and fury. We poured it out of the worlds we captured. We built the Empire out of the flesh and blood of our brothers." Do you remember Saiyanus, Kalus, and Viparo? They are all our brothers, our family, we used to drink and make a vow that will never be broken. They were in the Great Crusade Died, gave everything to build this empire."

"But what have we got?" growled Abaddon. "The Emperor has turned his back on us, ceding the warrior's power to the bureaucracy, spilling the warrior's blood without consolation. What have we got? Loken, Tell us, shall we die when the Emperor turns his back on us?"

"Are you still making excuses for yourself?" Gavier Loken said: "Just like back then, always making excuses for yourself, making excuses. You once swore an oath to be loyal to your monarch, but you are just You are just greedy for power and status, you have no dignity and shame, hypnotized yourself with lame reasons, convinced that you lost your former glory just because of those pure and beautiful ideals, you spent tens of thousands of years urging yourself to repeat this But I want to tell you, Abaddon, that Horus was caused by you to fall into the abyss. It was you who caused him to bear eternal infamy even if he died."

"Not us," growled Abaddon.

"It was you who believed Erebus' stupid words and sent him to Devin's temple."

"That's the only way to save him."

"I would rather die with the honor of a warrior, or lose the title of Warmaster and return to the Emperor's side to recover from his wounds, than I would never wish him to be a puppet fooled by the gods."

Garviel Loken's voice pierced into Abaddon's heart like a sharp sword.

It made him howl in pain.

If I didn't believe in Erebus, maybe there would be no such things.

Even with such an injury, the stasis field could be used to send it back to Terra for the Emperor's help.

Horus would then remain Primarch of the Sons of Horus.

His statue would stand in Terra's Times Square, and his name would go down in the Imperium's heroic annals, not a traitor cast down to eternity.

The stasis force field was not used much at the time, but Horus, as the warmaster, possessed the best technical sages.

At that time, Horus and Abaddon both valued the reputation of the son of Horus too much, and did not want him to suffer any damage.

Horus was badly wounded and sent back to Terra, which would inevitably destabilize his position as Warmaster.

It is an extremely stupid thing to send to the Temple of Devon to seek healing from the power of the warp.

But at that time, it became a good plan for them to maintain Horus' position as Warmaster and the honor of Horus' Son.

In the end, they all paid for their mistakes.

Horus suffered from the corruption of Chaos when wounded.

The ambitions of Abaddon and others also intensified, and they finally embarked on the road of abandoning their brothers and colluding with the evil forces of the subspace.

Created a tragic massacre, a great rebellion.

"It's not our fault!!" Abaddon said in a painful tone.

"It's your fault, Abaddon. Erebus is the most damned among you, and you are the second most damned." Gavel Loken said every word: "I saw you do it with my own eyes. I saw how you sent Horus to Hell. I saw with my own eyes how you led the noble Luna Wolf to the abyss."

"No! Not like that," Abaddon screamed in pain.

"That's it, Abaddon." Gavier Loken said: "You have no right to point out the accusation. I will not let you go, Abaddon, even if you have been imprisoned here as a wild dog, I will There will be no mercy for you either. This is just the revenge of the new Lord of Humanity against you, and the revenge of those of us who have returned has not yet begun."

Abaddon looked up at Garviel Loken, with a hint of fear and anxiety in his eyes.

During the Great Crusade, he knew that Loken was a steadfast person.

As long as one goal is identified, Loken will not give up.

He said he wanted to take revenge on himself, so he must take revenge on himself.

"When you leave Terra, I promise, you will cry with Erebus, and those who have been destroyed by you will avenge you through my hand, and I will break your spine again and interrupt you Nerves in your neck that make you lie in it like a paralyzed old man who can't take care of himself, and become the laughing stock of the galaxy."

After leaving behind such a threat, Garviel Loken turned around and left.

Trieste also left with the legendary imperial hero.

She accompanies the imperial hero on a tour of the many traitors who will be imprisoned next.

All the Traitor Primarchs are here.

All are here except Horus, who is dead.

They all knew Loken.

Loken was active during the Great Crusade.

As a member of the Council of Four Kings, Loken often accompanied Horus and his colleagues to meet other Primarchs.

Those who betrayed the Primarch have lost their former honor, and all have been reduced to monsters.

The only ones who can remain normal are Perturabo and Curz.

Curze didn't throw himself into Chaos.

He just participated in the rebellion.

Perturabo chose Chaos itself, not the gods of Chaos.

The two still maintain a certain human appearance.

Fulgrim, Mortarion, etc. have all been transformed and are extremely ugly.

They expressed anger at Loken's arrival.

Think it's Guilliman's new trick to torture them.

It's not enough for the populace of the Empire to treat them like monkeys.

Even at the expense of resurrecting those who have long since died, let them see their own jokes.

During the great rebellion, they uttered so many big words.

Mocking the folly of the Empire against the gods.

Those who died were taunted by them as sacrifices without meaning.

They surrendered to the Chaos Gods, gained immortal life, and will indulge in pleasure to the end of the universe.

Now, they are imprisoned in cages and exhibited as monkeys.

What could be more embarrassing than being seen by acquaintances when you are down and down? ?

It's like when a man relies on crooked ways to prosper, he mocks his law-abiding friends as poor ghosts, and he will never be able to get on the stage for the rest of his life.

When he went bankrupt because of a crime, he could only beg on the street after he was released, but those poor friends made a fortune by relying on law-abiding legitimate businesses.

If you are humiliated by people you don't know, no matter how angry you are, it is still within the tolerable range.

But if they are humiliated by those acquaintances, their face will often be lost, and they will even become angry and furious.

When many traitors saw Loken coming, they did show more anger and shame than when others watched.

Guilliman revived Loken, making what they had done look like a joke, like a clown.

They were imprisoned in a cage, but Loken returned again and became a hero, a legend.

Such a thing breaks their defenses and is difficult to accept.

Gavier Loken also expressed contempt and humiliation to each of them.

Shatter their final illusions with concrete actions, and tell those idiots that they are the real Garviel Loken, the commander of the tenth company of the Luna Wolves.

The sightseeing tour of the Apostle of Atonement lasted for one day, and Garviel Loken saw all the traitors imprisoned here.

Most of the traitors named were brought back here to be humiliated.

For those people, Gavier Loken did not have the slightest mercy.

Their past choices have produced today's bitter fruit.

Those traitors deserve it.

If it wasn't for the fear of too much impact, he would have suggested that these idiots be tortured.

"It's all like a dream, Trieste." Garviel Loken whispered to the narrator when he walked out of the Apostle of Atonement, "Everything we ever dreamed of has become a reality. Those who fought in despair The heroic spirits who have reached the last moment will rest in peace."

"That's not necessarily the case, death is not the end of duty." Trieste said: "The empire has mastered how to use the recorded data hidden in the background of the universe to summon the heroes of the empire."

"What do you mean by that?" Javier Loken asked puzzledly.

"Those people you are familiar with may all return. The Holy Emperor needs them to participate in a grander war." Trieste said: "That war is bigger than the Great Crusade, mysterious, involving life and death, fate, truth, etc. domains and dimensions."

Garviel Loken frowned slightly.

He tried to understand the meaning of Trieste's words.

Guilliman had a grander ambition than the Emperor.

More importantly, the other party is implementing various plans to ensure that what he wants can be realized.

Gavill Loken felt a little uneasy.

To be honest, his field of vision is still the same as that of the tenth company commander of the Great Crusade. Even after experiencing the Horus Rebellion, he only realized the existence and danger of the subspace.

There are too many things in this era that he needs to understand.

Garviel Loken didn't know whether he should support such things as breaking the cycle of life and death.

This hesitation continued until he was sent back to the hospital for recuperation and recovery.

The reason why there is no such hesitation is that when he was sent to the hospital, he saw his former bosom friend.

They fought side by side, against those evil things.

I used to drink and talk happily, and I used to sit together to discuss the desired future.

When they looked at each other, they couldn't help calling each other's name.

Even if it is thousands or thousands of years apart, they can recognize each other immediately.

"Torgaden."

"Loken."

I can’t write it, I owed two chapters yesterday, and I probably owe another two chapters today
