Stars for the good Warhammer

Chapter 91 The pieced together soul

On the other side, Chapter Master Dante of the Blood Angels Chapter is standing on the bridge of the flagship, the battle barge Baal Covenant. This veteran warrior who has been fighting for the Empire for thousands of years is staring intently at the moment. Information about the Leviathan swarm is then sent back to the main control screen from each unit.

At this moment, a naval officer quickly came to the elderly giant.

"Sir! We have confirmed that the fleet of alien creatures has left the outskirts of Baal's galaxy!"

In response, the giant with his arms in his arms just silently raised his head and stared at the torrent of data flowing in front of him, trying to find any clues related to the mysterious helper, completely ignoring everything that was happening around him.

At this moment, a violent voice expressed strong dissatisfaction.

"You are asking everyone to accompany you to die! All the children of Sanguinius! Everyone!"

"Let's face the reality! Father is no longer here! It's not worth blocking everything for us!"

The owner of this voice was none other than Gabriel from the Flesh Tearers, who looked so furious that he seemed to be swallowed up by a curse at any time.

At the same time, some representatives of the sub-legions gathered here also expressed their support. Dante knew very well that because of the theft of the remains of the father of genes, under this situation, the former Ninth Legion has now fallen into In unprecedented chaos.

Shortly after Gabriel finished speaking, the First Captain of the Blood Angels impatiently expressed his objections.

"We must take back our father's body from the mouths of the aliens! No matter what the cost, this is what we really want to do! We must not let him be tainted by the aliens!"

"Giving up is forgetting the sacrifices you have made! This is betrayal!"

The company commander's voice echoed in the tactical command room of the Baal Covenant, drowning out the roars caused by the arguments at the scene.

There is no doubt that this is the biggest humiliation the Chapter has suffered since its establishment. Those present could not imagine what those Tyranid aliens would do to the body of the Gene Father with their tentacles and sharp teeth.
  Seeing that the scene was about to get out of control, at this moment, a message from the hidden reconnaissance ship Pioneer suddenly caught Dante's attention.

"Quiet!"

The next second, as the chief think tank's loud voice sounded, more and more people gradually began to focus on the picture transmitted back by the Pioneer in the center of the screen.

For a time, the members of various battle groups present had hope again in their hearts, because what was shown in the picture was the golden coffin in which the original body was buried!
  However, this excitement did not last long. As the Pioneer's observation lens continued to zoom out, the Astartes gathered in front of the screen fell silent again, along with the mortal sailors and officers around them. They fell into a long silence together.

As if in a dream, the golden coffin of Sanguinius was just like a large piece of cheese, being held overhead by a strange-looking silver spaceship, and it was easily caught away by the tide that gathered around Baal. Hungry swarm.

Through the sharing of the fleet command platform, this desperate scene quickly spread throughout the entire fleet. For a time, wailing and vicious curses spread throughout the fleet's public channels. However, as the commander of the battle group, Dante, It was extremely peaceful at the moment.

Gazing at the unique shape of the silver battleship in the picture and its elegant trajectory like an Eldar vehicle, he once again thought of some of the clues he had discovered in the Book of Sanguinius not long ago. The archangel once recorded the name of an imperial world in an extremely obscure way in a prophetic way.

After a moment of silence, after learning that Leviathan's swarm had collided with the Necron's tomb fleet, he seemed to have made some kind of determination, and suddenly he turned to a group of angry Aspens beside him. The trembling mortal captain in the middle of Tate ordered.

"Order the fleet to cease pursuit."

"My lord, please tell me, are we going to return to Baal next?"

But it didn't take long for the captain to get a somewhat surprising answer from the demigod in front of him.

"No, take us to Haven."

At this moment, the expression on the old soldier's face was full of determination.

"I'm going to find the truth myself!" *
  *
  At the same time, the angel cubs were still wailing over what happened to their genetic father.

On the other side, Otto and Gray Wind had arrived in front of the golden coffin again.

Soon, Hui Feng stretched out her hand to try to catch the intruder in front of her, but in the end, her fingers went directly through the other person's body.

It was obvious that the strange intruder in front of him was just a phantom, not a real existence.

After trying a variety of methods without success, Gray Wind finally gave up the idea of ​​driving it away, and turned to ask Otto, who was also looking puzzled.

"Master. What do you think this could be?"

In response, Otto just shrugged helplessly.

"I do not know."

"Maybe it's a small fragment of soul left in this body?"

As he spoke, he took a few steps to the side. However, it was only then that Otto discovered that the boy who was suspected to be little Sanguinius was looking at him intently, and his eyes were always following his movements.

Those dull eyes were like a dark swamp, making it difficult to see what kind of emotions were contained in them.

Could this be the legendary "being so angry that you pretend to be dead"?
  At this moment, Gray Feng seemed to have become interested in this topic. He quickly came to Otto and continued to ask with a slightly expectant expression.

"Then do you think there is a soul in my body?"

Otto did not answer this question immediately, but after looking at the boy in front of him for a long time, three words came out of his mouth in slight embarrassment.

"Maybe"

And in the process of looking at each other, an interesting idea gradually emerged from Otto's heart. According to GW's settings about the Ninth Primarch, Sanguinius's soul has now been captured by Horus. The power of chaos was completely shattered and scattered in the galaxy in the form of fragments.

If these fragments can be collected on the way to unlocking technology, will it be possible for the legendary Archangel to be reborn from the ashes? But looking back and thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is no need for me to do this for the empire.

After all, whether it is still necessary to save this empire that is now beyond recognition is a topic worthy of discussion.

Not long after, Otto, who was also curious, followed Gray Feng's example and stretched out his hand. He thought it would have the same result as the other party, but it turned out
  "!!"

"Master! Can you meet him?"

In Gray Feng's surprised eyes, he saw that the boy sitting on the coffin lid was actually picked up by Otto.

At that moment, the scene on the field reminded Otto of an animated movie he often watched as a child.

——The famous scene in the birth of Simba, the Lion King.

fuck.
  What is this situation?
