Two Choices!

The Dark Angels... no, it should be called the "Fallen Angels" who betrayed the Imperium of Man, is hiding in the heart of the largest sandstorm on Alert Star. Who would believe it if word got out?

However, even Hilda, Battle Witch of the Aeldari who once single-handedly fought Dark Eldar Succubus, made Nightmare unable to raise its head, and suppressed the entire squad, still felt immense pressure when facing the former "First Legion"!

First Legion, Dark Angels.

Their fearsome reputation and madness would terrify even the Ark Eldar. Their throne was forged from the blood and bones of countless conquerors!

The fact that the Commorragh were willing to infiltrate the Dark Eldar to hunt down a traitor shows just how obsessed they are. Anyone with a sane mind wouldn't want to associate with such a group of monsters!

The First Legion has no secrets... This saying isn't just for show; anyone who dares to investigate will die!

Once the Dark Angels, including those in the Vought, discover a "Fallen Angels," their fate is to vanish completely along with the "Fallen Angels"—there is no other outcome.

Hilda gripped her sword nervously, swallowed hard, and a look of seriousness crossed her face. She muttered under her breath, "Alvin, if we get back this time... you just wait!"

If she had known that a "Fallen Angels" was hiding inside the Alert Fortress, would she have allowed Alvin to act so recklessly?

I'd rather send a message to Caliban than let Alvin just barge in with her!

"Don't worry, leave everything to me."

Having learned the details, Alvin was even more aware of the consequences of contacting the "Fallen Angels," but... he also had his own plans.

"Gentlemen, as you can see," he said calmly, showing no awareness of being surrounded, but instead sporting a friendly smile, "We are not carrying any dangerous items, nor do we pose the slightest threat to you. How about... we sit down and have a calm and peaceful discussion?"

"We do not negotiate with Xenos."

In the darkness, the hoarse, deep voice clearly revealed a hint of murderous intent. "I'll ask you one more time, where did you find out our location?"

"Well..." Alvin pretended to think for a few seconds, but then a loud bang suddenly erupted in the darkness. The bomb almost grazed his face and slammed into the wall behind him.

The bullet sliced through the air, its powerful, knife-like blast leaving a bloody gash on his cheek.

You have one more chance to say something.

The voice, brimming with murderous intent and laced with threat, said, "Say another word, and I'll blow your head off."

Click! Click!

The sound of bullets being chambered echoed throughout the Laboratory from all directions.

Hilda's pupils suddenly contracted sharply, her Psychic Power surging like a tide, and a terrifying killing intent emanated from her sharp pupils. "You're welcome to try!"

"Heh, Battle Witch of the Aeldari?" A hoarse voice sneered, "I've killed countless people like you already, one more won't make a difference."

Seeing the tensions escalating and Alvin, who was at a significant disadvantage, stopped the impulsive Hilda, wiped the blood from his cheek, and chuckled:

"I like your directness, but I don't like your attitude... Kill me? Sorry, I forgot to tell you, before I arrived, an entire Dark Angels Chapter had already reached Alert Star, in the nearby Celerus Hive City."

Upon hearing this, the burly figures that were vaguely visible in the darkness surrounding them seemed to panic slightly.

"It was you... who led them here?!"

The voice was tinged with anger and horror.

Kill them!

"That's right, kill them... then escape!"

The Fallen Angels surrounding them seemed to be enraged, and the atmosphere instantly turned icy.

After being hunted by the Dark Angels for so long, anyone would develop PTSD just from hearing that name. Besides... who doesn't know the infamous Asmodeus?

When someone repents, it's important that it be sincere.

Asmodeus the only one who doesn't care at all whether you're truly repentant or not; as long as he's satisfied, that's all that matters.

If they fell into Asmodeus's hands, they would truly be unable to live or die!

This resulted in Asmodeus being the only "Master of Repentance" in the Dark Angels Legion with the most senior qualifications, yet in his long career, he only had one other "luxurious" record of successfully repenting... with just two other people.

Incidentally, Dark Angels often hand over captured Fallen Angels to the penitents in their order, so that they may repent for their sins.

For every person who repents, a "Black Pearl" is awarded as a badge of honor for the penitent. Asmodeus's "Black Pearl" are... the fewest.

This clearly demonstrates just how violent this old man was.

This led many Fallen Angels to prefer dying in battle rather than suffering in the hands of Asmodeus.

The murderous intent grew stronger, ready to erupt at any moment!

A voice broke the heavy, tense atmosphere. "No, that's not right. If you had told the Dark Angels, they would have arrived long ago. They would never have let you get here first!"

The Fallen Angels, who had been in a tense atmosphere, suddenly came to his senses and realized, "Oh, that's how it is!"

Regardless of whether the Dark Angels knew or not, even if they did, given the nature of those fanatics, they would have killed those two to keep it a secret!

Who exactly are you?

The voice asked again.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Alvin Valshius, heir to the Merchant Dynasty." Alvin bowed extremely politely, then smiled and said, "In exchange, shouldn't you also give your name?"

After a moment of silence, a burly figure slowly emerged from the dark shadows. Only the Auspex on his helmet exuded a chilling aura in the heavy, twilight environment.

"I am Ollsen, the chapter Chapter Master of... the Fallen Angels." Ollsen's jet-black Power Armor seemed to blend into his surroundings, like a wandering ghost. The red light on his Auspex resembled the cold, bloodthirsty glint of a wild beast. "Rogue Trader, I'm curious... what is your purpose in coming to us behind the backs of the Dark Angels?"

"Well, I came to have a chat with you guys."

Alvin showed no fear, even with dozens of Bolter pointed at him, he remained completely unfazed. "Chapter Master Ollsen, you... and your men, have you informed Warmaster Abaddon of the Chaos Legion about the Alert Fortress and the Void Claw?"

Upon hearing this, Ollsen was utterly horrified. A look of terror crossed his face beneath his helmet. "You... how did you know about this?!"

They informed Chaos Warmaster Abaddon about the Void Claw, hoping to use this as a merit to gain Chaos's protection and escape the pursuit of the Dark Angels and their fanatical followers.

This matter should have been kept extremely secret, and no outsiders should have known about it except for the members of the Chapter present. However... the young man in front of them directly revealed their biggest secret in one sentence!

How could this not shock Ollsen?!

"So, you have indeed betrayed the Imperium."

Alvin lowered his eyelids slightly, his gentle tone gradually turning heavy, tinged with a hint of coldness. "Now, I'm giving you two choices."

"First, atone for your sins by becoming Chapter and embarking on Penitent Crusade for them, until you cleanse your sins with death and honor."

"Secondly, you can ignore me, continue your plans, and pledge allegiance to Chaos Warmaster Abaddon. But before that, I... will slaughter you all."
