The Emperor! The Emperor Possessed Me!

The walls of Parmenio remain as dilapidated and crumbling as ever.

Under the relentless bombardment of the Nurgle's Demon Army, the fertile land outside the city has been transformed into a muddy swamp, a marshland teeming with various diseases and exuding a strange, sweet fragrance.

Fortunately, the resistance in Parmenio is still working to contain the spreading corruption with the high temperatures of Promethium flames and disinfectant solutions, and the evil offspring of the plague god have not yet replaced them.

Nevertheless, the suffering beings who have gathered here from all corners of the planet are filling every corner of the city—thankfully, this is the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar, which is extremely well-governed and lacks the Hive City cities that plague gods love most—which undoubtedly poses a great obstacle to the spread of Nurgle's disease.

Even so, the streets of the capital were still packed with migrants who had come from other cities.

The Nurgle cult, lurking in the shadows, is spreading its influence far and wide, eager to bring Nurgle's blessings to every corner of the world.

Only when people can gather together and share the disease can they take the opportunity to escape isolation and spread the plague and disease they carry.

Just like today—whether the Ultramarines were stimulated by something or truly believed the rumors of the [The Accursed] returning to the world, they actually lifted the isolation restrictions between different areas for refugees, allowing everyone to go to the central square as soon as possible to receive purification from the Living Saint.

And witness the true arrival of Emperor miracle!

"Hurry up! Only those in the front row can receive the Emperor's favor!"

"What kind of Emperor favor is this?!"

"She is the Emperor Incarnate! Haven't you heard? She is about to save us all from all diseases in the square!"

"That Living Saint who has manifested his power?"

Compared to the ox-headed and horse-faced creatures that appear in other Hive World, although they are sallow-faced, emaciated, and plagued by diseases, at least they still look like humans.

With the Ultramarines doing their utmost to maintain order, the entire street was crammed with filthy, hungry people—a perfect poisoning spot if any Nurgle Cultists had infiltrated.

The orders from Second Captain Sicarius were extremely difficult for the Ultramarines to accept.

But even the remaining ones wouldn't understand. When the Second Captain learned that the little girl was his Gene-father, it would be a million times harder for him to accept than for these clueless Blue Smurfs.

The Second Captain felt like his world was collapsing.

If it weren't for the fact that the genetic comparison with the Adeptus Mechanicus Archmagos Cawl, who had come to Parmenio with them, was completely accurate (except for gender), no one would believe that the pouty blonde little girl in front of them was Roboute Guilliman, the Gene-father the Thirteenth Legion's Ultramarines.

"I"

Ultimately, it was the deep-seated genetic identification with her father that led the Second Captain Commander to believe that she was Loli-man —although it was hard to accept at first, once you get used to it, you really feel that having a Gene-father in the form of a loli is infinitely better than those Chapter that are unloved by their fathers and mothers.

Since we can't refuse this reality, we can only accept it!

Sicarius eventually accepted this and ordered a procession to be prepared in Parmenio —under the Emperor power guided by Guilliman, they could revive the civilians and warriors who had been nearly driven to despair.

In this time when crisis is about to ravage Macragge, faith is often the most precious thing in the world.

And it's also an honor!

The Emperor's Light did not descend upon Chapter Master Calgar or that cowardly Company Commander Agemman. The Father of Genes, after transforming into a little girl, did not immediately seek out the two ahead of them in the order of priority; instead, she chose him!

The invincible Cato Sicarius!

This guy's love for medals and honor led him to add a new layer of medal armor on top of his Power Armour.

Driven by a sense of honor, large numbers of civilians came to the city square, which had just been cleared of all the rubble and debris—from the clock tower-like buildings around it that had not yet been completely destroyed by enemy fire, one could catch a glimpse of the once bustling scene.

But now, only ruins and broken walls remain, along with countless civilians trapped in despair, waiting for the "Emperor" to save them.

Thump.

As the bells at the top of the highest clock tower rang, the previously noisy parade finally quieted down for a moment, thanks to the efforts of rows of Blue Smurfs and the Astra Militarum Guard.

Surrounded by several Imperial Cult Sisters and Priests, the blonde little girl, rumored to possess divine power, walked towards the suffering crowd amidst cheers and applause.

She wore a laurel wreath, and her petite body was draped in an oversized blue and gold coat bearing the Ultramarines U-shaped logo.

--Although I don't know why the Emperor's person in charge would choose this, or who gave him these clothes.

"Um"

The little girl looked down upon all living beings from beneath the golden throne.

The once prosperous and peaceful Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar has become as filthy and ugly as it is now. After losing themselves, the Ultramarines and the entire Imperium of Man have once again fallen into stagnation and decay.

Now, he—no, it should be her—having lost all her power, could only rely on the Emperor power that she would never have used before—though she was unwilling to admit it, it seemed that she could only provide them with the slightest bit of help by relying on the power of her Emperor father, whom she least wanted to acknowledge.

It's all Magnus's fault.

If I ever have the chance to meet him again after I recover, I will definitely fight and kill that fallen brother one-on-one!

Unfortunately, Loli-man is now unable to wield her powerful abilities, nor can she continue her clerical work as Lord Regent.

No, that's right!

Now, Loli-man has lost not only her fighting ability, but also her previously prized farming skills!

What to do?

--What else can I do but go back to my hometown and farm?

Thinking of this, Guilliman's cloudy and tired eyes, which had been working overtime for seven thousand years after the Great Crusade, suddenly brightened.

It seems Magnus was Guilliman's greatest benefactor!

"Emperor! Emperor! Emperor!"

"Save us! Emperor! We are willing to worship you as a god!"

"Please, have pity on us!"

On the newly filled-in, simple plaza, mortals knelt and prayed for her divine grace, forming circle after circle. They cried out, having rushed to the plaza in the light rain, just to witness the Emperor miracle they had never seen before.

Under everyone's gaze, Loli-man, draped in heavy U-group clothing, stood up and slowly walked towards the location of the sub-group Chapter Master stationed behind her.

To maintain the Emperor's divinity, Loli-man will not speak at this time.

She simply pointed lightly with her hand towards Kasgar, whose face was filled with astonishment.

"That's right!"

After you pull off this last job, you'll be free, Guilliman!

You have to hold on!!!

"Aaaaaah!!!"

Bear!

Without a word, the instant Loli-man pointed at the Space Marine, a burst of intense fire, accompanied by a flash of Psychic Lightning, erupted directly onto the squadron Chapter Master.

"This is."

Before anyone present could react, the Chapter Master, who was engulfed in flames, stood up again in the next moment.

In an instant, countless surging Psychic Flame erupted from Kasgar's body almost simultaneously, bursting into flames towards the crowd present.

After the intense golden-red flames had passed, the civilians, who had been thrown into panic and fear by the sudden fire, were quickly replaced by cheering shouts of joy.

"My body! I can finally feel my hands again!"

"It's healed! It's really healed! My mother is cured! The Emperor has appeared, it really is the Emperor appearing!!!"

"Praise the Emperor!"

The Emperor has truly appeared!

For the first time, the skeptical crowd experienced something tangible, rather than the divine miracles of Emperor as rumored by others.

The Emperor's flames can burn away all filth without harming the innocent.

Of course, while purifying the innocent, several Cultists who had infiltrated the crowd were instantly incinerated by the golden-red flames.

This must be the power of Emperor!

As the flames that could cure all diseases and cleanse impurities swept across every swathe of the crowded square, shouts a thousand times more fervent than before erupted from every corner of the plaza.

This was exactly what Kasgar had agreed upon with Loli-man beforehand.

Through their acting skills, Kasgar was able to demonstrate the Emperor's favor and divine intervention without revealing his true identity.

On the one hand, this would allow Kasgar to gain the support of the Ultramarines and many civilians within the Imperium, and on the other hand, it would allow him to seize command of the campaign from Cato Sicarius.

Even if this Second Captain loved honor, he wouldn't dare to go against his Primarch even if he had ten times the courage.

Having gained the ability to command so many Ultramarines to shake the earth, Kasgar can now also freely unleash some of his own fire power in the name of the Emperor.

Kasgar calls it -- Invoking the Heavenly Father!

Good acting, brother, good acting.

Wrong.

Kasgar glanced at the little girl, Loli-man.

We can no longer be considered brothers.

With a slightly exaggerated twitch, Kasgar finally stood up again, his eyes blazing with intense Psychic Power light.

"Her body couldn't withstand my strength—"

With the infusion of Psychic Power energy, Kasgar's voice now possesses a natural reverberation and echo, like that of Emperor.

"Now, unite around me, and together we will cleanse the Warp of its corruption and filth!"

This is truly a sign of Emperor descending upon the world!

"Your Emperor, the Ultramarines are willing to be your spear."

"Please guide us to a final battle against the filth entrenched outside the city."

Accompanied by Kasgar's booming voice amplified by Psychic Power, Second Captain Ultramarines Sicarius (convincing himself that he was saluting the Primarch) knelt on one knee in the direction of Loli-man and Kasgar.

"Emperor! Emperor! Emperor!!!"

"The Emperor has appeared! The Emperor has appeared!!!"

"He has not abandoned us! He has always been with us!"

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

"Praise the Emperor! The Emperor is our only savior. Believe in Him, bless Him, and pray with Him for humanity!"

The priest [Matthieu] beside Kasgar, along with the reveling crowd, wept and shouted, finally finding a sliver of solace in their long despair.

As a devout follower of the Imperial Cult, he finally received divine revelation from the Great Emperor at this critical juncture.

He witnessed the Emperor's power once again ascend to this world!

"But have you thought about what will happen next, Pastor?"

"The Emperor has solved your problem once again, and so what? Do you hope that every time humanity encounters difficulties, such a great being will step forward to help you solve all your problems?"

"Who?"

Sensing someone speaking behind him, Matthieu quickly turned around to look behind him.

He was an extremely tall guy, standing right in the crowd of revelers. Despite his striking height making him stand out from the crowd, for some reason, no one around him seemed to find anything unusual about this guy who had suddenly stepped onto the stage.

It seemed that no one noticed his presence at all, and no one would pay attention to him at this moment.

"Who are you? Why are you telling me this?"

His face was unhealthy and pale, and he was wearing a respirator of unknown model.

Matthieu recognized the face, but couldn't quite place who it was.

"If you have time, we can talk privately after this parade."

The tall, pale-faced man did not answer his question.

Hey! Don't go!

Who exactly are you?

It's gone.?

Such a tall figure, yet after taking just one step, he vanished back into the crowd, never to be found again.

Who exactly is this guy?

"Is it an illusion?"

Just as the flames were purifying all the Chaos and corruption amidst the revelry, he sensed a fleeting, familiar presence with the help of the Psychic Flame.

But after a thorough search with Psychic Flame, and still finding nothing unusual, they turned their attention back to...

Then, Kasgar saw Loli-man, the innocent Second Captain, trying to sneak up on Sicarius from the crowd and threatening him with a vicious look.

This little Loli-man, seems to be planning to sneak away while Kasgar isn't looking.

But this brief eye contact forced her to abandon her plan, and she tried to explain to Kasgar with evasive eyes:

"My mission is now complete; you are now the true embodiment of the Emperor's arrival. Now, it's time to let me go—"

Seeing this, Loli-man smiled with satisfaction, then prepared to turn and leave, concealing her accomplishment.

After saying that, she took off running.

"Wait, you can't leave."

The next moment, a large hand grabbed her extremely loose-fitting Ultramar top.

Snort!

Want to escape?

Kasgar would never let such a useful Excel spreadsheet slip out of his control!

After the High Lords of Terra overturns in the future, who will do all the paperwork?

Only she, Loli-man!

Previously, she might have wanted to challenge someone to a duel, but the clever Magnus transformed Guilliman into Loli-man, successfully solving her bad habit of always looking for one-on-one fights.

From now on, I can sit in the office and approve documents all the time!

"Let me go! I want to fight you one-on-one!!!"

Loli-man, who had been grabbed and lifted by Kasgar, still seemed somewhat unconvinced.

I was even thinking of going to farm!

The entire Imperium of Man, millions of worlds, countless Space Marine Chapter, the Astra Militarum Corps, and the Adeptus Mechanicus could definitely provide Guilliman with a life of leisure and farming.

"Grown ups.!"

Just as Kasgar was about to tease Guilliman a little more, a report came through the communication system from the front lines.

"The next siege by the Nurgle's Demon Army is about to begin."

The summoning of the people to the square to receive the divine command gave Nurgle's Demon Army a perfect opportunity to attack.

The defensive troops originally stationed on the city walls were redeployed to the interior to maintain order, while most civilians gathered together, making it the perfect time for Nurgle to spread the Father's blessings.

The Cultists, who infiltrated the crowd, spread the plague and summoned demons, while simultaneously coordinating with the siege forces outside the city to destroy the internal defenses.

With coordinated efforts from within and without, the planet Parmenio, a crucial node in the Five Hundred Worlds, will inevitably fall.

Even though the infiltrators in the city were reduced to ashes by the Kasgar's Flame, it seemed that the Nurgle's Demon Army had no intention of giving up their attack.

"Right outside the city, beneath those miasma clouds lies the dregs of evil Chaos!"

Guided by the Ultramarines, a vast, swampy mass of rotting flesh with exposed bellies roamed the green swamps and miasma outside the city. Surrounded by lively Nurgling and swarms of flies, they moved slowly and deliberately toward the defensive walls of the capital city of Parmenio.

That's just how fast Nurgle works.

Interspersed among them, following behind the Great Unclean One, were countless Nurgle Wizard, plague beasts, and Cultists.

And the endless Plague Zombie and bloated corpses that serve as consumables and filler monsters—the first wave of attacks on the walls consisted only of grunts, but they still resolutely advanced towards the already crumbling walls of Parmenio under the fire of the Ultramarines.

Although their bodies decay, they possess an even stronger vitality—even if they are beaten to the point of near complete disappearance, they can regenerate through their own strength.

Even the well-organized Death Guard and the named Great Unclean One did not appear on the battlefield, but the nausea and oppression they instilled in the defenders of Parmenio was something that the Khorne Daemons, who only knew how to wield their great axes with brute force, could not provide.

The stench was overwhelming, and even some of the weaker-willed Astra Militarum succumbed to vomiting and other symptoms of illness.

"Firm will!"

"Believe that our cause is sacred, and that the Emperor is with us at this moment!"

Nurgle is an extremely formidable opponent.

Accompanied by the nauseating laughter of these evil creations, heaps of green filth were sprayed and splashed onto the defensive walls in front of the Ultramarines' barrage of fire.

In the past, the release of such an unsolvable viral plague would have infected even Servitor and automated robots.

Bear!

The overwhelming Psychic Flame once again filled everything.

"Finally, we can have a proper fight."

"Have you ever thought about how agonizing it is for me to keep my strength hidden?"

Unfortunately, Kasgar has fire.
