Chapter 54: Chapter 54 Lorgar Aurelion's
cleaning up of the Chaos supporters was just a side job! What the Imperial Regent really wanted Celestine to do was to deal with the pests within the [State Religion] and the ambitious people who wanted to interfere in the internal affairs of the Empire.
[State Religion] is just a religion, and it can only be a religion!
Any attempt to manipulate the empire through faith will be ruthlessly attacked and liquidated by the Imperial Regent.
…
At this point, all matters before leaving the [Throne World] have been completed.
The task of managing the empire's internal affairs was temporarily handed over to [Marshal of the Imperial Guards] Trajan.
The Imperial Regent himself led the huge [Golden Fleet] and hundreds of [Battle Barges] and set out on the road to the [Ultrastar Region]!
The navigator in the fleet has locked the coordinates of Macragge! This will be a three-month warp voyage.
The mechanical priest praised the battleship's [Machine Soul] with binary prayers, and the navy crew members who had served for more than half a century used their rough palms to connect the pipelines filled with liquid energy to the subspace engine.
The roaring warp engine tore a rift in the physical universe, and the huge fleet led by the [Imperial Regent] slowly sailed into the mad sea of souls.
The Chaos Gods hidden deep in the Warp were aware of the Primarch's presence at the first moment.
But before the malice from the gods could affect the Imperial fleet, the [Cold Sun] representing the Emperor's will slowly rose from the depths of the Sea of Souls.
The great Emperor never took his eyes off his own race!
Although the Lord of Mankind cannot interfere with the physical universe, in this crazy subspace... nothing can harm the [Imperial Regent] who carries hope.
The great will of the Emperor always protects the fleet of the Imperial Regent, and the malicious Chaos Gods never find any opportunity to attack.
…
Sitting in the crystal forest, [Lord of Change] Tzeentch was flipping through the Book of Destiny in his hand. Through the mottled threads of fate, Tzeentch had already sensed the intentions of the Imperial Regent.
Awaken the Primarch [Robert Guilliman] who has been sleeping in stasis for ten thousand years!
As mentioned before, a decadent and declining empire is what the Chaos Gods want to see.
Once the empire returns to the era full of rationality and beauty, the Sea of Souls representing chaos and madness will inevitably be greatly impacted.
The existence of the Imperial Regent has allowed humanity to begin to emerge from despair and gloom.
If we add Guilliman, who is extremely politically talented, the rise of the Empire will be unstoppable.
Guilliman must not be revived!!!
The ancient [Lord of Change] began to weave the thread of fate in his hands.
He wanted to kill Gawain, who carried the hope of the Empire, and the sleeping Guilliman together on the distant Macragge.
The mighty power from the God of Chaos silently affects reality.
At this moment, the psykers with the ability to predict the future discovered with horror that they had lost the ability to observe the future through the subspace.
The indescribable, bizarre and evil laughter of the Lord of Change echoed in the Crystal Forest, and the entire Usurper Heaven was praising the same name - Tzeentch!
...
Deep in the Warp, [Demon World] Sekharus.
The fallen Primarch of the Word Bearers, Lorgar Aurelion, was sitting in the Infernal Temple meditating.
Ten thousand years ago during the Horus Heresy, Lorgar led the Word Bearers Legion and committed countless inhumane atrocities.
Hundreds of Imperial worlds were sacrificed to the Chaos Gods by the Word Bearers. With the power of the gods' blessings, Lorgar was successfully upgraded to a Demon Prince with no share in Chaos.
"Chaos without division" means that Lorgar does not have to be restricted by any evil god! But correspondingly, he is destined not to be favored by any evil god.
Therefore, although Lorgar is the [Demon Prince], his status in the Sea of Souls is not that high.
In order to avoid bringing unnecessary ill will to the Word Bearers, the Demon Prince Lorgar has been meditating in this Purgatory Temple for a thousand years.
But there seemed to be something in the dark, pulling at the Demon Prince's thoughts.
The air was filled with a pungent smell of burning! The strong winds in the sky carried black ashes and blew towards us with a desolate and bleak atmosphere.
The demon prince slowly opened his eyes!
What comes into view is a desolate scene of ruins!
The magnificent statue of the Emperor was engulfed by the blazing flames, the city walls inscribed with scriptures collapsed under the swords, and the devout believers who were unwilling to leave were torn into countless pieces by the artillery fire...
This was the destruction of the Perfect City and the beginning of Lorgar Aurelion's fall.
Even though thousands of years had passed, when this scene was replayed in front of the Demon Prince, the Word Bearers Primarch still felt an irrepressible rage.
"Guilliman! You will pay the price for the destruction of the Perfect City." A hint of resentment flashed in Lorgar's red pupils.
It was at this time that an uninvited guest visited the Demon Prince's Purgatory Temple.
It was a giant wearing sky blue power armor.
The fact that he was able to bypass the Word Bearers' guards and appear here has proven the terrifying strength of this blue giant.
No one could see the blue giant's movements clearly!
Almost in an instant, several [Chosen Chaos Gods] responsible for guarding the Purgatory Temple fell to the ground without any warning!
In the last second before losing consciousness, a Chaos God activated the Purgatory Temple's alarm.
The bronze bell placed on top of the Purgatory Temple began to ring! The piercing sound of the bell not only attracted the guards of the Word Bearers, but also awakened the meditating Demon Prince Lorgar.
The Word Bearers Primarch looked gloomy!
Lorgar grabbed the [Skull Scepter] at hand, pushed open the door of the Purgatory Temple and came to the square.
Hundreds of Word Bearers were besieging a blue giant, but when Lorgar saw the giant's face clearly, the Demon Prince fell into an unprecedented rage.
"Robert Guilliman, how dare you appear before me!!!" Lorgar roared angrily.
Blasphemous Chaos mottos poured out from the Demon Prince's mouth. Countless Chaos Runes attracted the filthy power of the Sea of Souls, gathering into a blazing flame that rushed straight towards "Guilliman".
This terrifying psychic flame is enough to burn a main battle tank into molten iron.
But in the face of such horrific flames, "Guilliman" simply showed a disdainful smile.
"What a weak spell!" Guilliman waved his hand casually, and the psychic flames containing terrifying high temperatures instantly disappeared into thin air.
