Don't Touch It! (Two-in-one)

Russ, whose full Leman Russ Russ, was born in the Asaheim Arctic region of Fenris.

Because he was raised by Space Wolves from a young age, Leman Russ was somewhat wild in his childhood, and his appearance was somewhat inhuman compared to that of a wolf, so he could be called a werewolf.

Later, a king named Thengir heard about the legend of the werewolf and ordered his men to capture it, bringing the monster to his palace.

After a chaotic battle, Leman Russ integrated into human society and was appreciated by the king, who groomed him to be the next successor of the kingdom. He was honored as Russ and thus became known as Leman Russ Russ.

Russ is not a name, but an honorific title, similar to the Khan of Chogoris or the Chieftain of Serenity. In addition, since Roboute Guilliman is the Primarch the Empire, outsiders generally refer to him as King Russ.

King Russ was no ordinary man; he was not only the Primarch of the Space Wolves, but also a trusted ally of all the Astra Militarum. Leman Russ Battle Tank was named after him.

Of all the Primarchs, Russ may not be the most prominent, but he is always a backup option. He is generally used when facing dangerous situations where there is no first choice, and you can say something like "Russ."

This is not a joke; Russ is indeed a flawless individual who deserves the approval of all Primarchs, even Zhuang Sen.

Yet this tough guy, who would be good anywhere, has ended up like this, hanging from a beam like a roast goose, tears streaming down his face, suffering endless humiliation.

At this very moment, deep in the mountains along the Mediterranean Sea coast, in a cave that no detector can find, is the place where Russ suffered his humiliation – the Bitter Cave!

Mordred and Angron could not imagine the extent of their brother's suffering that had led him to this state, as if he had been brutally and ultimately humiliated for over three Second Son by four scantily clad, lewd, muscular men.

"Brother, don't move. We'll rescue you today."

Mordred reached out and yanked at the thick pipes piercing through Russ's body, using the Star God Power to dismantle the device, while Angron used telepathy to soothe his brother.

But when the last pipe was pulled off, two lychees rolled to the ground, startling Mordred quickly picked them up and stuffed them back in.

"No, Second Brother, don't lift it!"

"It's alright, Second Brother. I'll immediately activate your Fel Energy and use cell regeneration to restore your physical body."

"But why are you two laughing?"

"We don't!"

Mordred and Angron didn't laugh. They had tried their best to control their expressions, but they just couldn't suppress the smiles. Especially after seeing that Russ was doing even worse than them, all the past grievances seemed insignificant.

Even Russ knew how shameful he looked, so the first thing he did after breaking free of his chains was to make Mordred and Angron swear an oath promising not to reveal what he had seen.

"I swear, I will never tell anyone. My Second Brother can distinguish right from wrong when it comes to matters of principle."

Angron also assured him, "I will absolutely not divulge a single word. There are no dark, sunless caves, and there are no Primarchs hanging up like cured meat."

"Do you need me to treat you?" Seeing Russ's miserable state, Eldar was also shocked. She couldn't understand why a dog would suffer such torment, and even subconsciously ignored the fugitive identity that the two of them had given Russ earlier.

Little did she know that her words had completely broken Russ's defenses.

The resemblance was uncanny; Eldar was practically a carbon copy of Mordred. The moment Russ saw her, he was certain that she was Mordred's mother, which meant she was his own mother.

To have his mother see him in his most wretched state, even though he had turned into a dog and hadn't shown his true face, was still a mental shock that was ten or even nine Kiya more terrifying than being tortured by the Void Dragon.

"Waaaaah, don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"

Seeing Russ crying and tucking his tail between his legs, Mordred quickly comforted him, "Stop howling, I'll treat you right away. Don't worry, there are only the four of us alive here now."

Once you get back, no one will know what you've been through.

Upon hearing this, Russ felt much better and loosened his grip, letting Mordred rub his body vigorously with her paws.

As Emerald Lightning flashed, Mordred used her remaining Fel Energy reserves to heal Russ, especially some of the holes that had been stretched and expanded by the pipes and could no longer be shrunk back down.

However, what they didn't know was that Russ's posture wasn't just known to the four of them; everyone in front of the Golden Throne knew, including not only the Emperor, the Primarch, the Adeptus Custodes, and even the Space Wolves who had been summoned by Guilliman to reunite with his family.

Due to the different flow of time, Mordred and his companion were gone for eight years, but for the general public watching the TV series, less than two years had passed.

While the two brothers were discussing with Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Cao Cao whether their family's title should be Northern Shu or North Han, Guilliman had already sent men to Fenris to recruit more people.

This wasn't meant to be a joke; Guilliman hadn't even considered this possibility. As a purely political man, Guilliman wanted to use this opportunity to ease tensions between the Ultramarines and the Space Wolves.

Everyone secretly says they are Ambition, but Space Wolves are the most vocal. They've been saying it for a full 10,000 years, Great Crusade, and have become the most ardent haters among haters.

Now that the opportunity has come, we definitely need to find a way to ease tensions and have Space Wolves send someone to act as a witness.

But looking at the lifeless father on the projected screen, Bjorn, as a witness, and Ragnar, the Young Wolf Lord Ragnar, had gloomy faces, muttering something about Fenris, and their eyes kept glancing at Guilliman's neck.

While the two Space Wolves leaders were making fools of themselves in front of everyone, Mordred finally managed to heal Russ's old wounds before his Fel Energy reserves ran out, and led him out of the cave that had imprisoned him for who knows how many years.

As Russ emerged from the cave, a light drizzle began to fall. This sight prompted him to spread his arms wide and howl like a wolf, venting the humiliation he had suffered over the years.

"Void Dragon, I swear to kill you!"

As the sun set, with Eldar's Psychic Power support, Mordred didn't waste as much time as they had on their way there, and quickly found the Jade Rabbit had landed in the wasteland.

These futuristic creations, so different from those of the present day, further validate Mordred's lies, especially that dog cage version of the Stasis Field that Mordred designed by cutting corners.

Whether Eldar fully believed it or not is no longer important.

Since his good brother had just been released from prison, he was determined to treat him to a good meal. Angron immediately took out a small copper stove and started grilling the fresh venison he had just killed outside.

After eating a few pieces of grilled meat, Russ began to recount his experiences over the years.

According to him, he has been in this era for over 400 years, and the first person he met was Liu Bang, a middle-aged man who suited his taste.

Because he came in physical form, Russ was not as weak as Mordred and Angron. Even though he was twisted into a dog, he was still a super dog of Primarch level.

Because they were unfamiliar with the place and the locals were not well-educated due to the limitations of the times, Russ asked what planet this was. The person on the other side didn't even understand the meaning of "planet" and only said that this place was called Mount Mangdang.

Russ thought he had arrived in a remote, barbaric world in a star sector of the Empire. It was only after observing the night sky and comparing the planetary positions that he realized this place was Old Terra.

Like Mordred, since he was already here, Russ's plan was to survive and, incidentally, find the Emperor of this era.

Everything went smoothly at first. With his own strength and military leadership skills, and with the help of Russ, Liu Bang established a feudal dynasty in just a few years. He also created a group of Wolf Guard with a Perpetual named Wang Mang.

However, the seemingly barbaric Russ did not act as recklessly as Mordred. On the contrary, he avoided taking action whenever possible, trying not to disrupt the course of history, and he did not even indulge the enhanced human soldiers he trained.

As those old acquaintances passed away one by one, Russ began his main quest: to find the Emperor.

However, Russ wasn't stupid. The Dragon Kingdoms also had Perpetual. After witnessing this group of Psychic Power lunatics, Russ didn't go off on a rampage. Instead, he put his mind to work and followed the army westward, both to conceal his identity and to gather information along the way.

According to ancient legends, myths, and some random rural tales, Russ eventually led the Han army to the Mediterranean Sea coast, where he encountered the Void Dragon.

"And then what? Did you fight the Void Dragon for three days and three nights, and in the end, that despicable and shameless dragon used your friends and family to blackmail you, which is why you were defeated on the spot?"

Looking at Angron's cat-like face, Russ said, "Don't talk nonsense. Don't think I don't know this is what happened to you back in Nuceria. The Void Dragon aren't like the High-Riders; they wiped us all out right away."

"There was no three-day, three-night battle at all. If we could fight for three days and three nights, it would mean that our strengths were evenly matched, and I would have run away long ago. But in reality, I couldn't run away at all."

I must say I was unlucky. When I first arrived here, I saw Void Dragon emerging from Warp Rift, dragging its half-crippled body. I thought that since it was already half-crippled, I could definitely defeat it, and maybe even use it to return to the Empire.

Before I could even say two words, this guy reacted like he was under stress, immediately sealing my Psychic Power, distorting the Physical Laws, and severing my Warp connections. He did it all in one fell swoop, and I was pinned down before I could even react."

Mordred understood now. Putting aside how the Void Dragon got to Terra, judging from the scene Russ described, it was probably during the most intense part of the War in Heaven when the Void Dragon tried to escape and took advantage of the instability of the Warp to get to Terra.

It's even quite possible that this guy was fighting the War in Heaven before he even saw Russ, and then he turned around and saw this monster, which would definitely cause him stress.

"And then, as you all saw, the Void Dragon didn't kill me. Instead, he imprisoned me, muttering strange things like, 'The Old Ones are gone, my brothers are broken, so I'm invincible.'"

This thing even lusts after my body, saying it wants to use me to raise its own kin, and then make me its empress.

"Ah!" Seeing Russ deliver such explosive information in such calm words, Angron's fur stood on end. No wonder dragons in myths and legends can always discover the unique characteristics of any race. It turns out that this information came from you, kid.

"That's not right! C'tan don't have genders; they're not flesh and blood beings, and you're just a male dog! Second Brother, say something!"

Since Angron asked, Mordred revealed some little-known secrets. "Actually, you should also know that our existence is not in accordance with common sense. Since we can be created using Warp fragment, we can also be created using C'tan fragments."

"But I'm curious, why would the Void Dragon be interested in you? You're from a different faction, what's it after?"

"Yes, that's what I said at the time, but the evil dragon got even more excited, saying that dragons are the symbol of emperors, and that it not only wants to be a Cosmic Star God, but also a god of the Warp."

Russ didn't explain the specific details, but Mordred, who was also a tech enthusiast, could already imagine how the Void Dragon would study Russ, and how the Soulless among the human population might have been created in this way.

If we let it continue its research, it might actually create a group of Lesser C'tan to benchmark against the Primarch and achieve the if plot.

Unfortunately, the Void Dragon never expected that even after 65 million years of escape, having specifically chosen a tiny, remote planet, it would find a Psychic Power primitive like the Emperor on that planet who would stab it with a broken gun.

With things having come to this point, Mordred didn't want to think about anything else. He just wanted to quickly seal Russ away. Once the mission was completed, the two of them could retreat at lightning speed.

However, before that, there's another problem to deal with: Eldar, who's happily watching the drama unfold on the sidelines.

Mordred has no feelings for Eldar, or rather, no Primarch would have any feelings for Eldar; in fact, they could be considered enemies.

If it weren't for Ishtar, the oldest of the primal beings, the Primarchs wouldn't have been scattered throughout the galaxy, creating a group of problem children.

While the Four Merchants certainly played a part in this, it's undeniable that a fool's quick thinking is always more effective than a wicked person's elaborate schemes.

But then I thought, if Eldar hadn't gone mad, with the Emperor + Eldar's parenting skills, they might not have been able to grow up wildly scattered across the Milky Way.

Since things have come to this, we can only let things take their course. After all, if something happens to Eldar, the Primarch cannot be born. Her historical mission is to form a crazy couple with the Yellow Skins and use their powerful genes to shape the Primarch's physical body.

Are you leaving?

"Yes, our mission is complete. Next, we return to the East to handle some final matters, and then escort this heinous deserter to the Luna, letting him sleep in the future."

Their eyes met. Looking at Russ, who was already locked in a dog cage, and then at Mordred and Angron, who were speaking righteously, Eldar remained silent. In fact, she had already noticed something was amiss.

Since the Primarch could recognize Eldar as their biological mother at a glance, Eldar could also sense that inexplicable sense of familiarity from Russ.

If Eldar could recognize these three strange creatures as her offspring at a glance, she certainly wouldn't think so, since the three brothers aren't even human anymore.

But to say that these three things have nothing to do with me is definitely impossible.

However, after a brief hesitation, Eldar abandoned the idea of killing the three outsiders on the spot and chose to believe Mordred's lies. She then chanted a strange syllable and cast a spell on the small plane, causing everyone to subconsciously ignore the containment object inside.

After doing all this, Eldar didn't hide anything and chose to tell the truth, repeatedly warning the two dogs and the cat not to do anything that would rewrite history, saying, "I'll be watching you."

There's no need to keep an eye on him. You can't play games here, you can't eat delicious food, and you can't even collect treasures. Mordred must be bored out of his mind to linger in Old Terra.

The next morning, the three brothers decisively ran away. However, before leaving, these three Rebellious son did not rest all night. They stayed by Eldar's side and accused the Emperor. Without any embellishment, it was a pure expression of their true feelings, which made Eldar furious and she vowed to make Neos pay the price.

The three brothers couldn't help but laugh at the thought of what might happen next, which was also a contribution to their parents' relationship.

When the small plane finally returned to Zhuo Commandery after a chaotic journey, the four brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Cao Cao had completely No. 1 Middle School, chosen Chang'an as their capital, and changed the dynasty to North Han.

In less than ten years, the chaos was quelled, which can be considered as extending the life of the Han Dynasty once again.

When they learned that Mordred and Angron were leaving, those who had initially chosen to do great things with them were extremely reluctant to see them go. Liu Bei even wanted the two brothers to serve as imperial tutors.

I definitely can't do this job, but while I can't be the imperial tutor, I can at least name Liu Bei's newborn son.

Because history had been completely disrupted, Liu Bei was already 36 years old, looked like a 26-year-old after being enhanced and transformed. He also married a beautiful wife. It was only after asking that he learned that this empress was not Lady Mi, but Lady Bian.

Amidst the expectant gazes of the four brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Cao Cao, Mordred glanced at Cao Cao, who had become the Chancellor of the North Han Dynasty, and muttered, "Let's call him Liu Pi. I've already thought of a courtesy name for him: Carl!"

"Liu Carl, what character is this?"

"Don't you understand? This is called Ezekiel. It's very sophisticated. You have to pronounce it Liu Carl, which means 'Wolf Shepherd God.' Since he is your Firstborn Son, it signifies the continuation of the lineage, like the alpha wolf in a pack, commanding the world."

"Excellent! As expected of the Venerable One, truly possessing great wisdom and a broad vision! Liu Pi Carl, what a great name! My son, Liu Bei's son, should have such a powerful name."

For some reason, Cao Cao felt a little strange when he heard the name, as if he had been tricked. But then he thought, this is my good nephew, I should be happy and laugh.

Since it was the birth of Crown Prince and the Venerable One bestowed a name upon him, it was a cause for celebration. On this occasion, Mordred also gave the seeds he had collected from other continents to Chang'e and Wu Gang, and also gave them the Moon Compensation Cult.

As prototypes, the two can't live forever, but as long as they don't do anything reckless, living for a few thousand years shouldn't be a problem. Rather than going to the trouble of taking them back to the future, it's better to let them enjoy themselves in this era.

As for whether the warriors of Ji County and the Dark Moon Cult would interfere in court affairs, Mordred had no intention of caring.

After all the funeral arrangements were completed, on the evening of the full moon of Liu Pi Carl, a small, creaking airplane streaked across the sky like a green meteor, establishing legitimacy for this new dynasty.

As time went by, this Emerald Meteor became a myth, evolving into the story of the celestial dog eating the moon Chang'e, telling of a palace called the Moon Palace on the moon, inhabited by all sorts of gods and immortals.

Ten days later, after a long flight, the Jade Rabbit finally landed on the moon. Two dogs and a cat stepped onto the Luna surface and began frantically digging craters.

Looking at the tunnel that had sunk a thousand meters into the earth, Russ, carrying a whole sack of local produce, opened the dog cage and, under the watchful eyes of the two brothers, uttered the famous words. "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. See you in forty thousand years!"

"Stop talking nonsense and get inside right now. We still need to finish the roof."

Three more days passed, and after ensuring that Russ wouldn't be unlucky enough to be blown up in the head by a meteorite, the entire underground palace was completely sealed off.

They exchanged a glance, knowing it was time to retreat. Gazing at the beautiful blue planet, the figures of the cat and dog gradually faded away.

What should have been Serenity and serene scene turned into a terrifying spectacle just as the two were about to vanish.

In the void, a large man clad in armor was seen carrying a horse and charging towards Terra.

"Hahaha, I knew this would work! I really am a genius!"
