Hero Mother Horus

After Horus returned to the Golden Throne, he was initially reluctant when the Emperor asked him to impersonate Sanguin.

Horus was clearly the one most capable of becoming the leader of the Emperor's greatest Legion of the Damned!

Despite causing a major disaster that destroyed the Imperium of Man and the Great Crusade that the Emperor had painstakingly built up over countless years, and also causing the opponent to be severely injured and only able to maintain his life by relying on the Golden Throne to avoid complete annihilation.

However, with his own power, even if he is now only a soul, he can still lead the Legion of the Damned!

But the Emperor refused his request.

This world clearly can no longer tolerate the name of the traitor Horus —if this man, considered the mastermind behind the Horus Heresy and the murderer of the Emperor, were to reappear in the Imperium of Man, how could anyone possibly believe that Horus was leading the Cursed Army to their aid?

In the human empire, the name Horus has become synonymous with traitor. No one would choose to follow a group of bald guys who look like Horus, shout "Emperor Emperor Emperor Emperor" while crawling around on the ground.

It absolutely needs a complete overhaul!

--Perfect!

After Sanguinius' death, the Blood Angels lost their Gene Mother —if there isn't a suitable, uh, Living Saint? Anyway, that's the idea, as a beacon to guide the Blood Angels to stay true to their hearts, then over the course of ten thousand years, the Blood Angels without faith and direction will all fall into an abyss of rage and obsession.

There must be one, Sanguin

"Father? But Sanguinius is a lady, I can't do that."

[You never thought about this when you flattened her.]

"Well"

Horus obediently shut up.

You have to pay for the sins you've committed.

"Sanguinius!!!"

"It's Mother! Mother has come to guide us!!!"

"Mom! I knew you had never left us! I knew you wouldn't die at the hands of that traitor Horus!"

"."

"It's Mommy."

For those who still held hope for him in their time of crisis, a female warrior as Radiance as Sanguinius could lead them out of the pain of losing their mothers and help them say goodbye to the "Mom Rage" that had haunted them for so many years, regain their past confidence, and continue fighting.

Bathed in Radiance like that of Sanguinius —who would question whether she was truly Horus?

Over the next ten thousand years, this situation occurred repeatedly whenever Baal and the Blood Angels faced peril.

You might even run into acquaintances on the battlefield at certain moments.

"Warmaster, what's wrong?"

That was Abaddon's seventh expedition with the Black Legion —this time, Abaddon's surprise attack on the Eastern End Starfield was a success.

Large numbers of Space Marine and Imperial Navy reinforcements were blocked by the Warp Storm. The invincible Chaos Warmaster led his warriors in a successful raid on the Baal System and, with the overwhelming numerical advantage of his legion, nearly wiped out the Blood Angels.

Although his Honor Guard was almost entirely wiped out by the Blood Angels Black Rage by the enemy's counterattack, Abaddon was only one step away from completely destroying Angel's Fortress, which was located above Baal!

The surface defenses have been completely crippled by his Black Legion.

All we need to do now is get back to the Vengeful Spirit and order this damn place to be blown up, and everything will be over!

Destroying Baal would destroy the last remaining hope in people's hearts that Sanguinius could be reborn and save them.

The Imperium of Man, having lost the Beacon of Sanguinius, will surely suffer another devastating blow!

But just as Abaddon was nearing victory, about to destroy all surface defenses and unleash Exterminatus on the planet, Sanguin appeared.

The female warrior [Sanguin], clad in shimmering Golden Armor, stood in Abaddon's way, preventing him from slaughtering the last remaining Blood Angels.

"."

But in the face of that Golden Armor female warrior, the usually decisive Abaddon hesitated.

(Abaddon: What do you mean my dad is being someone else's mother?)

The invincible Chaos Warmaster, who could have completely annihilated the First Founding Blood Angels in this Black Crusade and dealt a heavy blow to the Imperium of Man, inexplicably chose to retreat.

Furthermore, Abaddon never went near Baal again during the Black Crusade.

And so, Horus, who had been a virtual character for millennia, had grown accustomed to his duties.

Although the flow of time is indeed not uniform in the Warp, she has now become a skilled hero mother!

Although some felt guilty about not only killing Sanguinius but also impersonating him to continue deceiving the Blood Angels.

But it must be said that Horus accomplished his task brilliantly.

[However, unless the Blood Angels encounter an emergency, each of my appearances consumes a large amount of the Emperor's magical power.]

Therefore, I may not be able to accompany you to Terra to help you fight the High Lord.

Sanguin's time in the real world is limited; he can only be used in urgent situations like this.

In other words, although Sanguin cannot directly appear on Terra as an ally of Kasgar.

[Understood, but I believe that after this battle, the Blood Angels will all choose to support me rather than stand by and watch the High Lords of Terra die.]

Kasgar charged forward, completely incinerating a massive Zerg hive guard. "The Norn Queen is ahead! Sons of the Phoenix, raise the volume!!!"

Accompanied by the screech of insects, the sound of exploding Bolter, and the battle cry of the Centaur gold ring, which inexplicably rang out in perfect unison.

Although Kasgar didn't want this to happen, it seems that from now on, the <Centaur gold ring> will become the warcry of the Sons of the Phoenix Chapter.

While this power couldn't help them disrupt the control of the Hive Mind at such close range, it could slightly weaken the fighting spirit of some of the swarm.

(Somewhat like Noise Marine)

Even under the influence of their singing, the light emanating from Sanguin, who was battling the insect swarm in front of them, became even more magnificent and bright.

[Horu Sanguin]

Kasgar decided it was best not to provoke the other party.

[Besides hoping you can help me return to Terra, there is another reason I've come here.]

I came for Fulgrim, where is she now?

"Grumble!!!"

Before Sanguin could answer the question, the living door in front of Kasgar, which resembled a sphincter, was completely reduced to ashes by the Psychic Flame in Kasgar's hand. The Norn Queen, hidden deep inside the core flagship of the Tyranid Fleet and protected by countless Zerg swarms, finally appeared before Kasgar.

[No time for this, let's get started!!!]

Kasgar frowned, seemingly angered that the crucial question had been interrupted.

Hive Mind, you deserve to die!!!

"Continue to hold the front! Remember, we only have Mother Sanguinius behind us!"

"All Sons of Sanguinius who do not wish for their mother's remains to be defiled by this damned swarm! Do everything in your power to protect your mother and her legacy!!!"

After using his Jump Pack to rush to the front and engage in a fierce battle with the enemy tyrant, Dante, covered in blood and insect slime, tirelessly continued to command the Blood Angels to fight on the city wall.

Although Kasgar's method somehow actually worked—while the mortal followers chanted the "Centaur gold ring" loudly, the Zerg swarm failed to launch a single successful raid from Angel's Fortress's underground, and the heavily protected Void Shield maintained its defense against Angel's Fortress's aerial forces.

Although weakened by the relentless attacks of the Zerg swarm, the powerful Void Shield, passed down from the 30K era, can still hold on if we persevere.

"My lord, the remaining troops of Baal I and Baal II have retreated into the palace to rest and recuperate."

Despite the high morale of the Blood Angels under Dante's command, the tide of battle had inevitably turned in favor of the Zerg swarm, which possessed richer resources and was less afraid of sacrifice.

Even though the Blood Angels fought bravely, by this time, fatigue and fear had gradually crept into every soldier who was holding the line.

Even if the Space Marine manage to hold out, the civilian support troops are exhausted after dozens of days of continuous fighting, and their hopes are fading.

During these dozens of days of continuous fighting, even though they killed tens of thousands of insects every day and night, when the shifts changed the next day, even more evolved insect swarms would launch attacks on Angel's Fortress's Defensive Fortifications.

The swarms of insects remained endless.

At this point, even the resilient commander Dante couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.

With two of Baal's three satellites recently lost, all the pressure from the Zerg will now be placed on Angel's Fortress, the Baal Prime.

"Let them rest for a while, then join the rotation! Baal and his mother need their help, as soon as possible!"

"And... sir," the Blood Angels beside him said with a strange expression, seemingly unable to believe what he was about to say.

"Just as the meteor struck Baal I, the demon Kabanhah reappeared in this world."

"What?"

Dante found this hard to believe.

But wasn't Baal I already captured? What was that damned demon doing on Baal I?

"My lord, it is currently leading its army to resist the swarm on Baal I."

That's right!

The loyal Sons of Sanguinius (whom they all call Sanguinius" Mother") Kabanhah, is faithfully helping the Blood Angels fight against the surging insect horde.

Dante: "."

Although she couldn't see it with her own eyes, Dante seemed to already see the ugly demon shouting "Sanguinius is mine!" while commanding its demon minions to attack the swarm of insects.

Oh well, let it be. I don't have time to worry about it anyway.

"Understood. Notify all Blood Angels to continue their defense!"

Victory is just around the corner!

"Grumble!!!"

Before Dante could utter the word "ahead," countless extremely painful screams suddenly erupted from the swarm.

[Now!]

"What?"

As Mephiston was sweeping through a swarm of insects with his Psychic Lightning, he sensed the Psychic Power message coming from the depths of his mind and looked with some confusion at the chaotic flying insect swarm in the distance.

[It's me, Charlotte, the commander of the Charlotte's Chapter Master! —Pshaw, Sons of the Phoenix!]

[Our raid has destroyed the Norn Queen's command over the swarm! They are now in chaos.]

[Quick! Turn on all the Sound Array broadcasts in Angel's Fortress, at maximum volume, and play "The Centaur gold ring" for me!]

[.]

[What?]

[No time to explain, hurry!]

Before Mephiston could think further, the Sons of the Phoenix, who had just disembarked from Baal I, immediately prepared to enter the broadcasting center of Angel's Fortress and open the gateway to the underground mortal choir.

Given the Tyranids' defining characteristic is their incredibly rapid evolution, Kasgar intends to use the game-changing sonic wave, the Centaur gold ring, at the most crucial moment.

There were even instances of broadcast Sound Array being deployed directly inside the Zerg swarm's territory!

Centaur, Golden Ring

A powerful but not deafening sound wave emanated from the center of the projectile and spread outwards in all directions from the swarm of insects.

Already severed from the link to the Hive Mind, and at this most vulnerable moment further weakened by the attack of the Centaur gold ring —the already low-intelligence Termagant and Hormagaunt were instantly...

Because: The Hive Mind = Mother!

Also, because: Sanguinius = Mother!

Therefore: Sanguinius = Mother = Hive Mind!

Now that the Hive Mind has been lost, let's listen to Mother Sanguinius!

The swarm of insects that had been rushing towards Angel's Fortress suddenly turned around and launched a counterattack in the direction the insects were located!

This thing is more effective than any Melta Bomb!

Although Kasgar didn't want to do this, it seems that the speed at which the Noise Marine with the Centaur gold ring appeared in the Sons of the Phoenix has surpassed that of the Sons of the Emperor.

Is this the fate of the Third Legion?

"Mother!!!"

However, the Centaur sound waves seem to have caused some negative effects, making it difficult to distinguish between friend and foe.

As the swarm descended into madness, the suppressed desires of the Blood Angels, who had been refusing to pray to Sanguinius for countless days, also experienced a tremendous, explosive growth!

"Mommy's here!"

Fortunately, just as the Blood Angel's Mom Rage was about to erupt in exhaustion and pain, the mysterious warrior clad in Golden Armor and with outstretched wings reappeared atop Angel's Fortress.

Dante: "."

Watching the Blood Angel and the swarm of insects crawling all over the ground, calling for their mothers, the legendary commander uttered a question that had been hidden in her heart for a long time.

Have we humans truly triumphed?

And what about humans?

The Battle of Baal ended when the link between the Hive Mind was completely severed, and under the influence of the Centaur gold ring, the Zerg turned against each other and began to fight amongst themselves.

As the shadow of Hive Mind Great Devourer, the Shadow in the Warp, completely dissipated, the Ultramarines and a large number of Imperial Navy who had come to provide support quickly cleared the battlefield.

Having seen too many Blue Smurfs, and seeing that Baal had been saved, Kabanhah laughed and led his Khorne demon army back to the Warp.

Whether the Blood God accepts the insects' skulls and blood or not, it has already met its KPI targets.

Before leaving, he arrogantly shouted something like, "The Angel must be his."

Despite being badly damaged by the Zerg swarm, Angel's Fortress was able to survive.

Dante, are you alright?

A concerned inquiry came from Cato Sicarius, the Second Captain of the Ultramarines, in the ward.

After the Chaos forces used Warp Storm to disrupt interstellar Astropathic Communication, the Ultramarines only recently received a plea for help from the Blood Angels.

Because the entire Extreme Star Zone is currently under attack from multiple sides by the Tyranid Fleet and the Chaos forces, the situation is urgent. In this critical moment, Chapter Master Calgar has no choice but to send Second Captain Commander Cato Sicarius with tens of thousands of Ultramarines (most of them sub-companies) to support Baal.

Unfortunately, due to the Warp Storm, Cato Sicarius's reinforcements were intercepted by the Hive Mind Shadow in the Warp and kept outside Baal until the enemy completely collapsed, allowing them to complete the final cleanup.

The Ultramarines were a step too slow again, which was nothing new for Ultramarines.

"Thankfully, I've survived another hellish battlefield."

Dante looked at his aged hands with utter helplessness—

She didn't die!

What kind of luck did she possess to survive and complete her mission in a battle of this scale?

When will her work finally end?

"Alas," Dante sighed, "Who is this beside you?"

Upon hearing Dante's inquiry, the steel behemoth beside Cato Sicarius smiled and said, "A pleasure to meet you, Commander Dante. My Belisarius Cawl, Adeptus Mechanicus Sage, and one of the developers of the Primaris Technology."

It turns out that he was the sage who designed the Sons of the Phoenix and other Primaris warriors.

In the previous battle, the Sons of the Phoenix and its Chapter Master had indeed left Dante with a very vivid memory.

If it weren't for the opponent's final detonation of the Norn Queen, causing chaos in the swarm, and if the opponent hadn't used the Centaur gold ring to disrupt the swarm's attack rhythm...

The Blood Angels, whose underground defenses were breached by the Tunneling Python and Void Shield Generator were disabled, were utterly unable to withstand the overwhelming, ocean-like bombardment of the insect swarm.

Whether in terms of physical attributes or combat skills, the strength of the Primaris Warriors is undeniable.

"What are Commander Dante's impressions of the Primaris Technology?"

Cawl smiled obsequiously, "Primaris not only helps Space Marine gain stronger physical abilities, but also significantly extends their lifespan."

Lifespan increased!

Dante immediately extracted the key words from the other person's words.

No, no!

Does this mean Dante is going to have to keep working overtime?

"But I... Sage, my body is aging and can no longer support such a large-scale modification surgery."

"That's a real shame," Belisarius sighed, then continued, "While Primaris Space Marine possess the formidable fighting power of Sons of the Phoenix, the success rate of converting ordinary Space Marine into Primaris- Crafts is currently very low, only 40%."

"What?!"

Dante suddenly sprang up from his sickbed.

"Should I really say that when I meet Dante? But isn't the success rate of our Primaris Surgery already close to 100%?"

"Belisarius, just trust me. If you really want Dante to undergo the Primaris Surgery as well."

". All right."
