The air pressure in Guilliman's office dropped to freezing point, and Power Halberd held high by Adeptus Custodes drew a small arc in front of Erson's eyes. However, the former member of Word Bearers seemed not to feel the threat. His gaze passed through the halberd blade and firmly locked on the electronic eye on Iax's mechanical head.
But Iax saw something different in Energy Vision, a faint golden halo surrounded Erson.
"Sir Guilliman. Do you remember that Emperor once mentioned a motto from the time of Unification Wars?"
"When the stars fall into the endless darkness, you need to use the body of Mortals to turn into Torch to light up the way forward."
Erson's voice was hoarse like metal friction.
Iax made no movement at all, but the surging data flow and high-speed operation of Computational Core already had the answer.
This sentence has appeared many times in Emperor's diary.
It initially appeared to be what Sigillite said when Malcador once directed Emperor.
Guilliman's pupils shrank slightly.
This motto comes from the private diary of Emperor, and this diary has never been made public to the outside world. The only people who can know this sentence are brothers Primarch.
But then doubts arose in his heart again.
Lorgar knows this sentence. Erson is a veteran who has followed Primarch. With Lorgar's character that once admired Emperor, he will regard everything Emperor said as the truth, and it does not seem surprising that he knows Progeny.
"Boom, boom."
The dull sound of footsteps came from outside the door.
Venerable Contemptor Dreadnought walked into the hall with steps. Its body was covered with various parchments written on its glory and achievements.
These strips of paper are imprinted with purity using special fire paint and are decorated with thick armor that shines with golden light.
"Dear Vanguard."
The Adeptus Custodes warriors at the scene expressed their respect to the ancient forerunners, but then they were a little confused.
Under normal circumstances, these glorious and ancient figures do not seem to be supposed to appear here.
He seemed to sense the doubts of these comrades.
The speaker array of Dreadnought produces rich sound.
"I am the sacred barrier of Emperor - Figgrath, the servant of Emperor, the edge of the weapon."
"Following the order, I will be responsible for handling this escape incident."
In fact, Trajann Valoris was confessing to Emperor himself in Imperial Sanctum and telling him about his negligence.
And these ancient warriors who have been awakened by the invasion of Daemon are not sleepy yet.
Dreadnoughts like Figgrath who have been sleeping for hundreds of years do not want to sleep forever. They are willing to dedicate whatever little value they have left to Emperor.
Contemptor Dreadnought glanced at everyone present, and after paying more attention to Iax's Mechanical Body, which was almost as big as himself, he turned his attention to Erson who was surrounded in the middle.
"Retrograde of Traitors Legion, show your little trick. How did you break through Shadow Vault's Psychic Power suppression and appear here?"
Erson seems very calm.
"I followed Emperor's will and appeared where Emperor thought I should appear. These are all miracles given by Emperor."
The equipped auxiliary Cogitator component operates in the Dreadnought body.
A Word Bearers also fought against these Traitors before Figgrath entered Dreadnought.
These damn Traitors are extremely cunning. They even deceived Eyes of the Emperor (The Eyes of the Emperor)'s intelligence control ability.
Originally thought it was just an ordinary infiltration and elimination of Xenos disasters that might endanger Imperium. However, several Thousand Sons Traitors ambushed the vehicle and used Chaos Sorcery to destroy the vehicle. Two of the four people traveling with him were killed.
Dragging his seriously injured body, he and another surviving comrade crawled out of the crashed Transport Aircraft, although in the end they not only completed the task but also crushed those Imperium Traitors to death.
However, the increasing injuries sustained during the battle finally brought him to the point of death.
Finally, after returning to Terra, he was buried among these ancient and glorious Dreadnought.
Figgrath kept observing Erson and the image data he just received.
The guards of Shadow Vault detected a tide similar to Psychic Power that only appeared in Imperial Sanctum, which originated from a certain cell.
When they arrived at the scene, only one set of Psychic Power suppression components were left scattered on the ground.
There were broken marks all over it, and it was churning with amazing power, and it looked like it had been burst by some force.
But the prisoners who were supposed to be detained there have disappeared.
Based on the tracking of the Psychic Power trend, its traces do not extend too far.
The Adeptus Custodes people ran all the way through the secret passage to see the previous scene.
It only takes less than a few minutes for it to disappear and reappear.
However, this Traitors is too magnanimous.
Its behavior does not meet all the characteristics of a Traitors.
This inefficient stalemate is not in line with Men of Iron's style of conduct.
Iax also has no interest in watching them play guessing games here.
The huge machine slowly stepped forward.
But Figgrath raised the twin Laser cannon in his hand and pointed it at Iax's body, looking at the opponent warily.
Iax's huge robotic arm patted Dreadnought's body, acting like a friend who had been friends for many years.
Contemptor Dreadnought The huge machine slowly turned and then stood aside.
The surrounding Adeptus Custodess also lost control of their bodies.
The high-efficiency computing module used to calculate the design structure made a slight buzzing sound, and each Adeptus Custodes was locked in Power Armour and became a spectator.
"What happened?!"
Guilliman and the two Shieldguard watched the Adeptus Custodess line up and make room smoothly while constantly exclaiming and roaring, their minds full of doubts.
Iax directly took over the body of Contemptor Dreadnought and Power Armour of Adeptus Custodes, and then asked the other party to stand aside.
The Electronic Muscle Bundles attached to the skin under the armor firmly limits their movements.
More powerful equipment than other Astartes means a stronger cage.
When Iax came to Erson, the robotic arm quickly changed, and a peculiar ring-mounted device replaced the original palm and covered Erson's head.
A faint light flickered along the body structure.
"Ahem!"
Erson suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood and then lost consciousness.
The facial features began to bleed out at the same time.
Iax used the robot hand to hold the opponent, and a flashing Panacea suddenly popped out from the inside of the machine and stabbed into Erson's body.
Although Erson's consciousness has not returned, his breathing gradually became steady, and the Runes marks all over his body slowly disappeared in the flickering light.
Even its appearance began to change significantly.
Iax monitored his body and discovered something even more peculiar.
Gene-seed of Erson was completely destroyed by Panacea in his body. Various weird and dangerous genetic sequences were swallowed up by the medicine and completely decomposed, and the Psychic Power reaction in his body began to grow uncontrollably.
The record creation is completed and the exception status has been registered.
"The memory reading is completed, the damage has been repaired, and the value of this person is being re-evaluated."
The synthesized sound of Men of Iron echoed in the room.
