The sky of Baal has long been washed away from the acid corrosion of Tyranid Swarm, and the still broken nebula casts a rose-colored halo on the spire of Sanguinary Monastery.

"This is a miracle illuminated by the light of Emperor."

Dante stood on the side behind Guilliman. The bright liquid in front of him rippled in the special container provided by Men of Iron.

"Use it to end your pain, Dante."

Dante stretched out his hand to touch the container, and the liquid swelled gently. Although Guilliman had already told him about Panacea, he still felt unbelievable when he saw such an alarming amount of medicine.

Apothecary walked out from among the Ultramarines who arrived with Guilliman, then pulled out an injection device and moved it to the docking port under the container.

With a slight sound, the transparent injection device was filled with medicine.

Apothecary respectfully handed the syringe to Dante. The person in front of him was even more legendary than Calgar, and his experience was second only to Primarch. His life was accompanied by countless honors, and he deserves respect from everyone.

"My lord?"

Member Sanguinary Guard, who was standing behind Dante, spoke up to remind Dante to be more cautious.

However, Dante took the syringe without hesitation and then aimed the injection port at his carotid artery.

"Chi."

The non-invasive syringe left some marks on his neck, and the medicine in it was turned into a jet finer than a hair, passing through the tough skin and reaching the blood vessels.

Dante's white hair instantly burned into golden red, and the blood vessels under his skin flowed like lava.

Power Armour's servo system issued a fierce alarm, the life detection device received a series of abnormal readings, and various indices were rising unnaturally fast.

"Creak."

The expansion of flesh and blood made Dante feel a little uncomfortable.

Guilliman seemed to notice something and immediately raised his hand.

"Techmarine, help Dante take off Power Armour."

Upon hearing Guilliman's order, a Ultramarines Techmarine who accompanied the team immediately stepped forward and immediately began to dismantle Dante's Power Armour after confessing to Dante.

However, after only removing a few fixed structures, Power Armour was stretched open.

Dante saw darkness through the gap.

"The Emperor Above, why is his Black Carapace like this?"

For a moment, everyone who observed Dante's body was a little surprised.

The Black Carapace that should be under the skin is attached to the surface of the body like a Bodysuit that is stretched to the point of bursting.

The technical military had to carefully control the Laser cutting device on Auxiliary Arm to carefully cut Black Carapace.

Under the tough Black Carapace, a strong body wrapped in fair skin is revealed.

Power Armour, which lost its internal support, fell to the ground with a dull crashing sound.

Guilliman shows a rare weird look.

After all, the only people who had injected Panacea into Progeny were Jaghatai and Vulkan, and they did not say that such a thing would happen.

In fact, the two Primarch brothers did not expect that Guilliman has not given Progenys this legendary drug yet.

At the same time, Dante's once shriveled and thin face was being reorganized, and the blood in his eye sockets kept boiling.

Dante walked out from the scattered Power Armour and the separated Implants. The huge change in strength made it difficult for him to adapt.

He had never felt anything before and had to kneel down on one knee. Unconsciously, his fingertips dug deeply into the solid ground of the monastery. The solid stone slab, which could carry several tons of weight, was extremely fragile in front of his flesh and blood body.

"Master Guilliman, I seem to feel... my lord's heartbeat."

Dante's voice revealed excitement. He stood up suddenly, and there seemed to be some invisible air hissing behind him.

Power Sword, which once required wearing Power Armour to swing easily, is now still light without the blessing of Power Armour.

Dante reached out and easily tore off some of the remaining Black Carapace and leg armor on the legs, and the remaining parts of Power Armour fell from the remaining Black Carapace.

The naked Dante looked at his new body - a strong pulse beating under his bronze skin.

Guilliman glanced at the reborn brother Progeny with a smile, and then waved his hand.

"Don't live up to Emperor and your father's expectations, Dante."

After saying that, Guilliman turned around and left Sanguinary Monastery with his Honour Guard and several accompanying First Company Marines.

Men of Iron has already started taking action, so Jaghatai may be leaving soon, and he needs to return to Terra as soon as possible.

Before the reborn Dante had time to stay, Guilliman boarded Thunderhawk Gunship and headed straight for the track to leave.

Dante had to find a robe to cover his naked body first. Then Sanguinary Guard's soldiers found Chief Sanguinary Priest and began to conduct a comprehensive examination of his body.

After getting a series of shocking results, Dante had an idea.

In the depths of Tower of the Lost, the wail of Genetic Curse and the reverberation of Hive Fleet have long been sealed away by time.

When Sanguinary Priest injected Panacea into the bodies swallowed by Black Rage and Red Thirst, it was as if stars were exploding in the rotten flesh and blood.

"Look into their eyes!"

Chief Technician Astaran's trembling fingers crossed the monitoring screen.

"Black Rage's red light is fading! The sharp teeth are returning to normal!"

In Holographic Projection, the pupils of the soldiers are fading from blood red to the same blue as Sanguinius, which means that the crazy Psychic Power red light is gradually fading away.

After a soldier who lost his right arm was injected with Panacea, the new muscles squirmed like living creatures, and the bones re-condensed in the flesh and blood to form a palm.

Nerves grow at a rate visible to the naked eye and cover the muscles, followed by the skin.

The strong growth stimulation caused him to roar in a mixture of pain and ecstasy.

"My... my hands are so itchy!"

The original mechanical Bionic Body and the implanted Alloy fixed posts and Black Carapace were all squeezed out by flesh and blood.

At this moment Dante suddenly understood why Black Carapace in his body was squeezed to the surface of his body.

A soldier who had just recovered from Black Rage suddenly grabbed Dante's hand.

"Master Dante, I don't know why I can get rid of that Fury state, but I still have sense now. Give me a task, give me a mission that I must die. I think the illusion of Fury will definitely come back. The next time may be my final end. Give me the final responsibility. I will not be responsible for Blood of Sanguinius!"

However, Dante's face shed two lines of tears.

He hugged his Battle-Brother and choked up his words.

"There are no more Black Rage and Red Thirst. Emperor gave us mercy."

The golden statue of Sanguinius looked down in the dim light of the prayer room. Dante held his helmet and knelt at the foot of the statue. Countless Power Armour fragments of Chapter Master from past generations were spread on the ground like a bloody carpet.

"Father, your bloodline has finally gotten rid of the shackles of the curse."

Dante's voice was choked with sobs, and his fingertips scratched several cracks on the statue, which were traces left over from Battle of Baal.

"Those brothers who fell in Hive Fleet... their sacrifices were not in vain."

In a trance, Dante seemed to see countless transparent souls appearing in the golden light. They were Blood Angels who had been lost due to Black Rage in the past.

Their faces are no longer distorted, but are surrounded by smiles on both sides of another taller angel figure.

Dante reached out and touched the Power Armour fragments on the ground, as if he could see the scene of every Chapter Master shouting at the last moment to live up to Blood of Sanguinius and fight to the last moment.

"Calling all Death Company warriors, Sanguinary Priest and Apothecary. Issue a summons order and all Sons of Sanguinius must return to Baal to completely cure Genetic Flaw."

"I swear by the holy blood, from today on, the glory of Emperor will burn in every drop of the holy blood!"

Dante stood up, turned his back to Sanguinius, and once again put on the helmet with the face of an angel.
