Damn Chaos, Daring to Call Itself the Emperor's Children!

Before the current Chapter Master of the Sons of the Emperor could speak, Kasgar had already taken a step forward, walking towards his opponent with a movement that seemed to travel through the void.

I can't stand it.

If it were another Chapter, such as a bad warband like the Malicious Warriors, even if Kasgar was angry, he would at most teach the other party a lesson, but he wouldn't risk exposing his own identity to fight to the death with the other party.

But these people!

These people, however, used the title of the Sons of the Emperor to indulge in extravagance and debauchery, using his past achievements to justify their depraved behavior.

They've always been using the names of Kasgar and Fulgrim!

Kasgar really couldn't maintain his composure in front of this arrogant and domineering Sons of the Emperor anymore.

It's time to clean house!

"Who?"

Despite the Sons of the Emperor Chapter's overall disarray, [Salakiss], as the Chapter Master of the First Founding, could not possibly defeat his opponent, but it was not impossible for him to withstand two or three of his attacks.

The next moment, the Chapter Master, who was trying to block the sudden attack with his hands, was instantly sent flying from one end of the Fortress-Monastery to the other, crashing heavily into the exquisitely carved and fragrant wall.

Zzzzz!

The next moment, a field of Psychic Power expanded throughout the Fortress-Monastery hall, blocking the view of all the bewildered Sons of the Emperor.

Kasgar did not immediately reveal his signature Gold-Red Flame; in fact, he was still dressed in the disguise he had worn as the Emperor's Children.

Or rather, let's give these people with such narrow forearms even the slightest bit of hope.

When he reveals his true identity, their despair and regret will slightly alleviate Kasgar's anger at this moment.

However, he seemed to have overestimated the true strength of this Sons of the Emperor and the Chapter Master.

Even though he didn't use his full strength, his attack still slammed the opponent hard against the wall, knocking him unconscious.

Even less powerful than Otis, the Chapter Master of the Red Scorpions.

How did this Sons of the Emperor become the Chief Commander?

With such laughable reaction speed and vigilance, how can he call himself the leader of the First Founding?

While sparring with and giving pointers to the Red Scorpions Chapter, Kasgar also experienced the strength of his physical body without using Psychic Power.

One punch would be more than enough to knock down the Chapter Master.

Thinking that if I added a little more force, the other party wouldn't be seriously injured, and it would also serve as a warning.

But who knew—

This idiot couldn't even withstand a single, Kasgar!

You're so disappointing!

What a disappointment!

How dare someone of this caliber claim to be the Sons of the Emperor?

You're so angry that even your ancestors came back to life!

Kasgar felt as if his hands were about to strike these worthless Sons of the Emperor again.

"Is this the ability of the Sons of the Emperor Chapter Master?!"

"Who else dares to come up and challenge us?"

"Is that all?"

"Is this the ability of the Sons of the Emperor?"

"Or is it that you have absolutely no sense of honor whatsoever?"

"."

Looking at the mysterious being standing in the Fortress-Monastery, shouting angrily, Titus also looked at the other with a gaze that was a mixture of sympathy and relief.

Although the other party was currently dressed as an ordinary Sons of the Emperor, judging from his surging rage, Titus could tell his identity without even having to guess.

Kasgar.

This hero, once the Sons of the Emperor, could not help but feel sorry for the Emperor's Children after seeing his current state of depravity and decadence.

Call.

Luckily he was Ultramarines, otherwise he would have been in serious trouble.

He at least considered himself an Ultramarines.

If Roboute Guilliman, the Gene-father, were to wake up and see that the Imperium of Man he had ruled for seven thousand years had become such a wretched sight, he would surely be just as angry as he was in Kasgar.

I hope he's alright.

"Quick! Sound the alarm and stop him from causing further destruction!"

After their initial panic, the Sons of the Emperor anxiously raised their ornate longswords to block Kasgar.

The Sons of the Emperor, who had only ever served in ceremonial guards (and other species), had never seen anything like this before.

Although these people appeared to be blocking Kasgar's advance, their posture, body language, and the trembling in their voices suggested that they had never encountered the current situation before.

After all, even the Chapter Master the battle group, who had always been the face of the Chapter and possessed the strongest combat power, was defeated in one blow by the enemy. What use would these little minions be if they went up there to die?

If the Chapter Master can't even last one round, how can they possibly do it?

The morale of the entire Sons of the Emperor was on the verge of complete collapse.

Kasgar: "."

The Sons of the Emperor have not only forgotten their past glory.

They had even completely forgotten the combat techniques that Kasgar had taught them before, such as how to spread out when facing powerful enemies!

One or two of them were shaking like leaves, and they were all standing in a row in front of each other. They didn't know how to spread out their positions to fly the kite!

He forgot everything he had been taught!

No, it seems there is more.

Just as Kasgar was about to give each of them a giant sinus, a sharp whooshing sound came from behind him.

Sizzle

The rapiers struck Kasgar's Psychic Shield, and seeing that the attack had failed, the assassin concealed himself again and retreated rapidly, preparing to look for another opportunity to attack.

Finally!

After being ambushed, Kasgar felt no anger, but rather a surge of joy from the bottom of his heart.

Really!

I told you, there are still some capable fighters among the Sons of the Emperor!

Even if the entire Chapter is utterly corrupt, decadent, and worthless, there are still a few individuals who can shoulder the responsibility.

They shouldn't be so useless that the entire Chapter is incompetent.

The rapier that just launched a sneak attack was fast, accurate, and ruthless, clearly the work of a swordsman who had studied swordsmanship extensively.

Although this is merely the average level of a typical Adeptus Astartes, Kasgar has already placed far too low expectations on the Sons of the Emperor.

He would be very happy if there was even one human among all the Sons of the Emperor.

Then, before Kasgar could even show a relieved smile, he saw that the Sons of the Emperor swordsman behind him seemed to have some medicine canisters attached to his power backpack.

And those medicine bottles seemed to be infusing him with new strength at that moment.

That's right, medication.

In these fortieth millenniums, the Sons of the Emperor has survived to this day, so it is impossible that he has no fighting power at all.

Although the entire legion was irreversibly marching toward decadence and depravity, some of the Sons of the Emperor seemed to persist in training, hoping to become qualified and powerful swordsmen, due to the ancient swordsmanship tradition within the Chapter.

This is good, but in these ten thousand years, in the countless battles and fights between countless swordsmen of countless generations, something gradually broke the balance between swordsmen's duels.

—Stimulant.

This potion, originally intended to allow Space Marine to put on a final stand even after being severely wounded or exhausted, gradually became popular in the duels of the Sons of the Emperor.

In the early duels between the Emperor's Children, winning or losing was not so important; honor was the primary concern.

Those who use drugs illegally will be looked down upon by everyone in the Chapter.

But as time went on, a trend of thinking that everyone was using it, and that I would be losing out if I didn't, gradually spread throughout the entire Sons of the Emperor.

In any case, when you actually go to the battlefield, the Xenos and Chaos enemies won't show you any mercy just because of your self-righteous glory.

In order to strengthen the entire Emperor's Children Chapter, they will definitely need to vigorously develop even more powerful stimulant drugs.

Drug development has entered the next phase of the arms race.

In addition, the unique number of Apothecary in the Emperor's Children' brigade enabled the entire Sons of the Emperor' Chapter to develop faster and more effective medicines under the influence of the duels.

Furthermore, the Codex Astartes does not impose any restrictions on Apothecary, which conveniently allows the Sons of the Emperor Chapter to expand its army.

Amidst this frenzied push from the entire Chapter, the entire Emperor's Children was plunged into a competition of drug development and application.

This has become a Chapter feature of the Sons of the Emperor Chapter.

The current Emperor's Children does use medicine, but he only uses a little bit of it during battle.

The Sons of the Emperor are all-natural, but it is unlikely that the Sons of the Emperor can be all-natural.

Upon seeing the bottles and jars behind the other person, Kasgar's initial relief immediately turned to disappointment.

Insects.

That's absolutely inhuman!

Kasgar's face grew even more somber.

Is there not a single normal person in the entire Chapter?

"Who are you?!"

"I, as the only member of the Chapter of Imperium of Man worthy of wearing the Aquila Falcon insignia, issue you this warning—lay down your weapons and surrender immediately, or face bullets from the Sons of the Emperor— "

Smack

The moment that guy mustered up the courage to speak to Kasgar, a loud Psychic Power slap left him dazed and disoriented.

The Sons of the Emperor?

Pooh!

I, Kasgar, have long seen through you nobles; you are all part of Chaos's conspiracy, their instigation and division!

Damn Chaos!

How dare you impersonate the Sons of the Emperor to deceive me!

Watch me bring you all back to square one!

"Oh! My face, my incredibly handsome face!"

"Stop hitting me, sir! I know you may be acting out of jealousy, but—ah!"

"I... I know nothing! Guh. I might tell you anything—"

"It hurts... it feels so good!"

I'm tired.

Kasgar was really tired.

There are no humans left.

In this vast Sons of the Emperor Chapter, there isn't a single normal human being among them!

Although he had been in a state of extreme rage, to be honest, apart from the first Sons of the Emperor he killed, which made him extremely angry, most of the remaining Emperor's Children were just beaten up by him.

"Get up, I have something to ask you."

This was also the first time he had revealed his Gold-Red Flame, capable of repairing everything, in front of so many Sons of the Emperors.

As the flames dissipated...

"!"

"This is--"

"Father!!!"

"It's Kasgar! Lord Kasgar is back!!!"

"Yay! Dad, we're so tired of playing here! When are you going to take us on another expedition to the stars?!"

"It really is Father! Father, please let me see your face, please!"

"Father, do you intend to establish the Emperor's Grandson Chapter?"

Seeing the throngs of the Sons of the Emperor surrounding him, all eager to fight, Kasgar felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.

Did you tell them that the Great Crusade was not a vacation?

"Roll!"

Kasgar didn't even bother to say anything more to these people. He took a deep breath and then used his Psychic Power to pull the Chapter Master, who was embedded in the wall, back out.

Golden-red flames surged from Kasgar's hands, engulfing his entire body in the next moment, before Kasgar reached out and gripped him again.

"What do you want to say in your defense, Chapter Master?"

"Hero Kasgar, Father of the Gods. It really is you."

"Welcome back to Sons of the Emperor."

"Sons of the Emperor? Is this your answer to me?" Kasgar's gaze beneath his helmet grew colder, and the grip on his hand tightened. "Do you really think I'll believe your pathetic excuse?"

"Tell me, among the current Sons of the Emperor, is there anyone who even remotely deserves that title?"

"Where is the Chief Apothecary, Melusine, now?"

Kasgar asked, a hint of anger in his voice.

Rather than suggesting she might be vacationing in other paradise worlds, it's more likely she's traveling throughout the galaxy seeking to improve her skills.

Perhaps the current Sons of the Emperor is ruined, but Kasgar still believes that the core team of the Chief Apothecary — the Sons of the Emperor —can be wiped and rebuilt, but Melusine definitely still has a group of capable and idealistic Apothecary.

Because she wasn't twisted enough, she always felt out of place with the Sons of the Emperor.

It's the same regardless of the timeline.

It's just that Kasgar didn't notice her.

"The Sons of the Emperor... The Sons of the Emperor is no longer within your control, Father."

Even as the prince was being held back by Kasgar and on the verge of death, the Emperor's Children Chapter Master still managed to slip a smile onto his lips.

"You can't kill me. I possess the secret you most desire."

"You need my help if you still think about saving this hopeless world."

It's impossible for Kasgar to wipe out the First Founding of the Imperium of Man's Exemplary (at least the rumors suggest it is) here, the only Chapter capable of wielding the Imperial Eagle.

The complete destruction of a First Founding is truly horrifying. Even the Imperial Fists, when faced with a similar situation, draws reinforcements from its subsidiary groups to maintain morale.

The First Founding is the spiritual beacon of its subgroups; it is an indestructible, indelible, and too big to fail entity.

If Kasgar truly wanted to destroy the current Emperor's Children, even Red Scorpions, who had always supported him, would have jumped to his side.

This simply doesn't make sense—how could the Hero Kasgar not protect his offspring but instead turn on them?

"You need our prestige, and you also need us to win people's hearts for you."

"Father, put me down. Let's talk about the terms."

State your conditions.

After a moment of silence, Kasgar released him and placed him back on the ground.

"Ahem. We only ask to find a peaceful place in this chaotic world."

"This requirement shouldn't be difficult to meet, right?"

In order to maintain this lifestyle, the Sons of the Emperor's successive Chapter Master have all rejected the temptations of Chaos that were placed before them.

It's not that Chaos conditions aren't attractive, but rather that only by being the Imperium's mascot can one ensure a full stomach.

It's set up.

The entire Sons of the Emperor has now become a cohesive, unproductive group. Since there's so many of them, it's difficult for Kasgar to punish them, given their incredibly united and unyielding nature.

Pure insects.

"As the Lord Commander, I can provide you with the pure Gene-seed that you need most right now, as well as the weapons you used to use."

"There is also the Contemptor Dreadnought Ancient Sage Rylanor. I think you should have heard of this name, Father."

"We can even keep track of the movements of the Chief Apothecary Melusine and inform you of them."

Rylanor still couldn't escape the fate of going into the refrigerator.

The original intention of arranging for him to enter the Contemptor Dreadnought was to allow ancient sages to use their prestige and etiquette to educate the future Sons of the Emperor and prevent him from going astray.

Who knew that the Sons of the Emperor would fall so quickly, that he has remained in the Stasis Field ever since.

[Who wants to listen to this old machine spouting some grand philosophy—it doesn't even give us any coins anyway, I'll just shut it down!]

[Children—buzz!]

"Father, what is your opinion?"

However, the other party's proposal was indeed very attractive.

It's not convenient to start a mass killing spree right now.

The name "Sons of the Emperor" holds great symbolic significance for Imperium of Man.

There's plenty of time to deal with these Kasgar insects, but if he kills them all in the heat of the moment, his influence within the faction will be greatly reduced in the future. At the same time, he will lose the resources promised by the other party, making it even more difficult to rebuild the Emperor's Children.

"And what about Fulgrim? Have you had even the slightest clue as to how to find the Legion Primarch?"

"This"

The Chapter Master even seemed a little ashamed as he spoke.

He knows he should feel ashamed.

"Father, I'm sorry, but in all these ten thousand years, we haven't found any clues about Lady Fulgrim."

"But rest assured—as long as you spare us and let us continue to be the mascots of the Imperium of Man, we will fulfill all your requests. We will also not leak the news of your return."

Only.

As he spoke, the Emperor's Children's Chapter Master pointed behind him.

"Our allies already know about your return. They will be arriving in Chemos soon to discuss cooperation with you."

"If the communications are correct, their representative is requesting a meeting with you—"

As he spoke, the commander of the Emperor's Children's Chapter Master bowed deeply to him.

"This is it."

Following the opponent through twists and turns and unlocking numerous obstacles, the Emperor's Children's Chapter Master finally stopped in front of an extremely sophisticated fortress.

The steel gate, made of some unknown alloy, opened, and what appeared before Kasgar was an extremely large mechanical construct.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I've long admired your name, Hero Kasgar."

"Let me introduce myself. I am your Awakener, the designer of the Armor of Fate on your body, and your potential future ally."

"Dominius Belisarius Cawl, the Adeptus Mechanicus Sage."

As he spoke, the steel behemoth dressed in Red Robes bowed to him.

"As you can see, I am not an artificial intelligence."
