Roboute Guilliman, Primarch of the XIII Legion - the Ultramarines, finally reawakened after a ten-thousand-year slumber, thanks to the advanced medical technology and psychic manipulation of Protoss technology brought to him by the 9th Fleet of the Lightseekers.
After waking up, his first question was: What happened to the loyalists now?
Zhong Kai, who was standing in front of him, was wearing a magnificent set of psychic crystal armor and spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
"The loyalists of the empire now constitute the majority."
Guilliman was very happy when he heard it, but the second half of Zhong Kai's sentence made him feel depressed.
"Of this vast majority, 78% are your cubs, Ultramarines wearing blue power armor."
Guilliman was silent for a moment, then chuckled bitterly, "Really? Is this all that remains of the Imperium's Space Marines now?"
Zhong Kai nodded and continued, "If you're pessimistic about the empire's future, there's no need to be. You'll soon witness the power of the Light Chaser! The new Warmaster is leading a massive expedition! To put an end to this chaotic world once and for all!"
"Warmaster? Expedition? And... the Lightseekers? Are you referring to you? What on earth happened in these ten thousand years?" Guilliman had just woken up and was full of doubts. He looked seriously at Zhong Kai and the two high-level Protoss Templars beside him.
Any other Primarch, upon seeing a xenomorph before their eyes, would have killed it immediately! Even if the xenomorph had saved their lives, awakened them from their long slumber, they would have killed them just the same. The only difference was that they wouldn't have suffered such a painful death! Because the Primarchs were created specifically to fight war. Therefore, the Emperor had imprinted an innate hatred of xenomorphs into their genes. (This hatred would change through life experiences and acquired beliefs.)
The Emperor used his own genes to create the Primarchs, and designed them to be superhumans who far surpassed ordinary humans in every aspect.
They were larger, stronger, more durable, faster, and more intelligent. At the same time, they possessed the personal charisma befitting their roles as generals and leaders of the Imperial armies. Each Primarch possessed unique traits and strengths, enabling them to serve a variety of purposes in the Emperor's war to reconquer the galaxy.
As for Thirteenth Brother, Guilliman's specialty lies in multi-threaded analysis and processing of things, with special emphasis on management, planning and completing multiple tasks simultaneously. He is very suitable to be a political leader, participate in the imperial affairs, and share the worries of the Emperor.
However, having grown up in a happy family with both parents, a healthy childhood and parents who loved him, made Guilliman a strong and upright idealist. This also made him express his incomprehension and disagreement with many of the Emperor's decrees.
Extreme materialism, extreme xenophobia, extreme rights protectionism, all of these made Guilliman very uncomfortable. Although he said nothing on the surface, nor did he oppose anything, in his heart, the real human empire should not be like this!
Especially when it comes to dealing with aliens, he believes that we should not adopt a one-size-fits-all approach, but rather screen out those aliens that are friendly and harmless to humans, and then coexist peacefully with them, and even help each other.
In the original Warhammer 41,000 novel, Regent Guilliman awakens and saves the imperiled Empire. However, the Great Rift splits the vast Empire in two. Guilliman then establishes the Second Empire, creating his dream of an "ideal kingdom" and marrying an Eldar woman as his queen, leading a shameless life.
If the Emperor had not considered Guilliman's importance to humanity, the big golden guy who opposed this marriage might have been so angry that he would have sat up from the toilet and slapped this unfilial son to death!
I gave you the Emperor's Sword, and you're actually collaborating with aliens? And you even had a baby with the Eldar? I'm so pissed!
Of course, perhaps by that time, the Emperor's humanity would have been erased by humanity's immense faith, so at the last moment, he gave the "Sword of the Emperor" to Guilliman?
No one knows the truth. But in this derived parallel world, with the arrival of Chang Wei and the Light Chaser, the empire's tragic end is destined to change!
Therefore, when Guilliman saw the Protoss beside Zhong Kai, he did not show much hostility. Instead, he patiently understood the current situation and conditions. At the same time, he also instructed his Ultramarines to exercise restraint towards the Protoss and not to confuse right and wrong!
So, with Zhong Kai's explanation, Guilliman quickly understood the current situation, and also watched Chang Wei's video of the Warmaster's enthronement with exciting BGM.
Honestly, he was a little jealous. A completely unknown, seemingly unknown stranger, had the Emperor personally appear before him and been crowned Warmaster? He was even given the Emperor's Sword, a weapon that felt like the Emperor himself? And commanded all the Primarchs and their armies with it? Anyone would have found it hard to accept.
But later he heard that Chang Wei was actually a pure-blooded human who was born in the same period as the Emperor, and that he was also an immortal and a powerful psychic. So, he felt a little relieved!
Besides, the facts are already established. Now is not the time to openly oppose them. Let's first see the capabilities of this Warmaster and the strength of those Light Chasers before making any plans...
