The Horus Heresy, which dealt a heavy blow to the Empire in the original plot, did not cause much trouble due to the intervention of the Alliance.
Horus finally left this world in a mad state under the siege of everyone. When Guilliman's dagger pierced Horus' chest, the Imperial Warmaster, who had long been corrupted by the evil god and whose whole body was covered with pus and rotten flesh, finally woke up.
Looking at his former brother and Mars, which had become riddled with holes because of their battle, Horus' eyes flashed with a hint of shame, as well as the joy of being freed from the control of the evil god.
"I'm sorry, my brother."
Looking at the dying Horus, Guilliman did not say much. He had guessed something from the changes in Horus, but the important thing now was to wait until everything was over and ask Emperor Malcador what happened.
"Do you think I can return to my father's arms?"
Horus' life was slipping away rapidly, and his intermittent voice seemed very weak.
But soon, Guilliman noticed a trace of fear in his eyes, and Horus, who was already dying, began to shout helplessly.
"No! Don't!"
Guilliman, who was confused about the situation, was pushed away by Horus with all his strength. Then his body began to deform uncontrollably, the pustules on his body kept bursting, and the foul-smelling pus flowed all over the ground.
His mind also began to split, as if something was controlling him. Horus, who was originally dying, suddenly became full of life again.
"Get out of here!"
"ah!"
The roaring Horus' soul was torn apart by the whispers of the evil god, and even if he wanted to die, he could not.
Angry, desperate, numb, Horus finally stood up slowly. There was no expression in his eyes, dull and lifeless. He walked forward step by step, waving the weapon in his hand.
At this moment, suddenly a powerful psychic energy was projected directly from the subspace into the real world, and this psychic energy impact directly hit Horus, who had become a walking corpse.
Under the influence of this powerful energy, Horus roared in pain. His body, which could no longer move, was gradually dissipating, but the expression on his face was one of comfortable relief.
This sudden change also made everyone look along the crack in the subspace.
It wouldn't matter if you didn't look at it, but once you did, everyone was shocked.
Looking through the cracks, there were countless warships in the subspace, and sporadic images showed some legions that had never appeared in the empire before, fighting with countless strange-looking demons on a strange continent.
At this time, their Emperor was wearing armor and fighting with several huge energy bodies whose faces could not be seen clearly.
The psychic beam shot at Horus also came from the Emperor's hand.
There was too much information at once, and no one was clear about the specific situation, but what was certain was that the Emperor was fighting humans in the Warp, and the current situation was one against four, which was not optimistic.
Horus, who was purified by the Emperor, lowered his head in shame at this moment. At this moment, his father still chose to pull him, a child who had fallen into the abyss.
The Emperor used his great power to snatch Horus from the hands of the Four Gods. After that, Horus will die completely, but for Horus, isn't this a blessing and relief?
Tzeentch was also in great pain at the moment. Just now, the Emperor relied on the protection of the psychic armor to exchange injuries with him, and really beat him badly.
As Horus gradually melted away under the onslaught of psychic energy, the rift in the Warp officially closed, and the other uninfected rebel sites chose to surrender after seeing clearly what the Emperor was facing.
They are the sinners of the empire.
Arranging special personnel to handle post-war affairs, Malcador brought Guilliman and others to the Emperor's underground palace. Currently, all the Empire's legions outside are on their way back to the solar system.
After excluding these rebellious legions, Malcador will explain to the remaining legions about the Warp and the current situation facing the Empire.
The Great Crusade no longer mattered.
It is the war in the warp that determines the future of humanity.
As long as we can withstand the attack of the four gods and consolidate humanity's territory in the subspace, then humanity will embark on a new path in the future.
Malcador will summon all the current Astartes of the Imperium to enter the Warp battlefield through the passages within the underground palace to support the Emperor's battle.
When Guilliman and his companions arrived at the underground palace, they saw the Sisters of Silence still clearing the corpses of Warp demons in the underground palace. They also learned about the Webway Project from Malcador.
And how Macanus almost dragged humanity into an irretrievable realm, as well as the alien human compatriots who crossed over from other universes to support the empire.
The Primarchs looked at Luo Ji beside them with curiosity.
"An alien human?"
Luo Ji felt his whole body crawling when he was stared at by these muscular men. These Primarchs looked at Luo Ji as if he were a gorilla in the zoo.
......
The human movements also made the aliens around the empire discover something.
Although they did not know what had happened in the Empire, the riots in the Warp, combined with the human retreat and Horus's rebellion, still spread across the stars.
Soon, several alien forces prepared to test the strength of the Empire, and the Empire discovered their plans shortly afterwards.
Guilliman and others who were unaware of the situation of the war in the warp were very angry at these aliens who took advantage of the situation to rob them, but there was nothing they could do as they would not abandon the foundation of the real universe and go to the warp to fight the evil gods to the death.
Therefore, Malcador placed a group of Astartes on the defense line to prepare to resist the invasion of several alien races.
The Emperor also sent a message at this time, asking them to deal with the affairs of the real universe first. The Warp... well... has the advantage...
The emperor did not expect that the soldiers under Zheng Gan were so powerful. As long as he could hold back the Four Gods, these 19 legions would be able to push directly to the Four Gods' hometown.
Unlike the Emperor's optimism, Zheng Gan still looked at the four gods in the sky thoughtfully. Since the plot has been changed beyond recognition by him, it is difficult to say whether the greenskin invasion will be advanced, and what the situation of the Eldar on Slaanesh's side is.
This time the alien invasion of the empire should not be that simple. After a brief communication with the Emperor, the Emperor said that although the strength of the empire has been damaged, not just any Tom, Dick or Harry can come and cause trouble. Now they should focus on dealing with the war in the subspace.
