Sevatar, You've Got Guts!
"That's all I can say to you, Shen," the Night Haunter said with a smile.
However, there was an indelible sadness and desolation in his smile.
"So I died in my original destiny, right?"
"Yes," said the Night Haunter. "I truly feel sorry for Shen. I went mad after the Tattoo-faced Earl deliberately sent criminals into the Legion, but he remained loyal and continued to follow me."
"He died later, after the Salamas expedition ended."
"By the way, the Tattoo-faced Earl is doing quite well in this world's fate. That damned reptile is cunning; he even survived Father's purge."
"That Tattoo-faced Earl was the main reason for the later split within the Legion, and the emergence of the Chaos Faction within the Legion."
"No need, Night Haunter. In the early stages of our Legion's joint accountability efforts, the Tattoo-faced Earl and all his connections were already dealt with by the Silent King."
Curze already knew about this.
He had heard the Night Haunter recount the original history more than once.
Curze had long been wary of the Tattoo-faced Earl, but as the Night Haunter said, they were indeed very cunning.
Especially after the Evernight Code was promulgated, they have always abided by the law, which has made it difficult for Curze to find an opportunity.
But before they could jointly hold anyone accountable, the Silent King dealt with those people in his own name.
"That's fine then. Let's continue with the matter of Shen's death and the Salamas expedition."
"As mentioned earlier, in order to contain the Dark Angels, the Eighth Legion began to carry out a bloody massacre, and then the two Legions engaged in a protracted battle that lasted for three years."
"And this is the Salamas Expedition."
"During this expedition, the two sides remained deadlocked until we proposed negotiations."
"During the meeting, I directly pointed out to the Lion that this was Horus's conspiracy to prevent him from Relief of Terra."
"Because of my precognitive abilities, I also explained the future to him."
"The relevant forces within the Imperium will doubt his loyalty, believing he is sitting on the sidelines watching the two sides fight, and he will ultimately face the fall of Caliban."
"The Caliban have fallen?"
"Yes, my respected Big Brother, just as I did to Nostramo, you did the same to Caliban, though you were slightly better."
"At least there's still a large asteroid floating around."
"What exactly happened here? Tell me!"
"Wait a minute, Lion, the Salamas Expedition isn't finished yet."
"During this negotiation, the Lion heard my Prophecy, but he didn't take it seriously and then ambushed me."
"I ambushed you? I am the Knight King!"
"The Knight King even let Gang into the Legion. I wonder which Knight King it was, just knocking him out and trying to kidnap him."
"You!"
The Night Haunter ignored the Lion's anger and continued explaining what was to come.
"I almost killed you in that fight, Lion El'Jonson."
"Unfortunately, Corswain came to my aid at that moment, and he pierced my spine with his sword."
Upon hearing that Corswain had pierced the Night Haunter's spine, Lion El'Jonson couldn't help but feel proud, but the Night Haunter wouldn't give him that chance.
"Don't be too happy yet, Lion El'Jonson. When we met, I brought Sevatar and Shen, while you brought Corswain and Alajos. Guess what happened to Alajos?"
"Alajos? He's definitely stronger than your men!"
"Hahaha, stop joking, Lion El'Jonson. Although Shen's combat strength was very weak in that world, Sevatar is no pushover!"
"To support you, Corswain withdrew from the battle, and then Alajos faced Sevatar and Shen directly, before Sevatar decapitated him."
"That's impossible!"
Lion El'Jonson admitted that the Thirteen-Person Group in this world was terrifyingly strong.
Especially Aequus, who is not only powerful, but also perfectly embodies the image of the ideal Dark Angels in his mind, not to mention Sevatar.
But he simply couldn't believe that in the original destiny, Sevatar would have been so strong.
"You really have to believe this, Lion El'Jonson. Even in the original timeline, Sevatar's fighting power is still extremely strong."
"In the original Destiny, there was a saying about the Three Heroes of the Great Crusade: Raldoron of the Blood Angels, Abaddon of the Luna Wolves, and Sigismund of the Imperial Fists."
"However, in my opinion at the time, Abaddon was short-sighted, Sigismund was a small stone, and Raldoron was even less impressive."
"That's a subjective assessment," Roboute said.
"But the fact is, Sigismund lost to Sevatar."
"I don't know what's wrong with this world; I've never even heard of the Three Heroes of the Great Crusade."
The other Legions were somewhat hesitant to mention what the Night Haunter had said.
After all, no matter how you rank them, the 13 members of the Council of the Long Night are just too overpowered.
Even excluding those 13 people, the Grand Inquisitor's personal guard possesses overwhelming combat power; how could they possibly rank them?
Excluding the Eighth Legion would make them seem intolerant and simply self-serving.
If you include the Eighth Legion, they can only aim for third place and strive for second.
This only applies if the council members do not attend the Council of the Long Night.
Not to mention the 13-member Council of the Long Night, who, in the eyes of their Primarch, were simply smaller versions of themselves.
We can't compare, we simply can't compare, there's no way we can.
"It's probably because the Eighth Legion of this world is too outstanding, so no matter how you rank them, you can't rank them."
"Sevatar truly deserves to be my favorite Scions, and he is indeed the strongest man in the Eighth Legion."
"He's incredibly strong, and he's a very strong person too!"
"The False Emperor should be executed"—these four words carried considerable weight among the Heresy faction at the time.
"Sevatar, don't you think so?"
The Night Haunter watched Sevatar with schadenfreude.
He wanted to see unease and confusion in Sevatar, and also to observe the reactions of the others around him.
However, the Night Haunter forgot that because he had recounted the original world's fate, the feelings of those present towards the Emperor were no longer as pure.
Therefore, they were not surprised that Sevatar could say such things in the original timeline.
As for the Thirteen-Person Group, they're already causing trouble.
"Wow, Sevatar, how could you say something like that!" Aequus exclaimed.
"That's right, Sevatar, you've got guts!" Agrid patted Sevatar on the shoulder.
"Can you guys stop making a scene? This is a serious occasion," Tu'en said.
"Exactly, hey, Sevatar, next time you come up with such a catchy slogan, could you please tell me first, and let me say it?"
"I'll treat you to a drink after everything's done?"
"Hahaha, you slippery fellow, deal."
Bang!
Tu'en couldn't take it anymore and punched Talos.
"Tu'en, why are you hitting me? If you really can't handle it, why don't you come and talk to me?"
"Okay, sure."
"Hey! I'm fucking!"
"Talos, don't forget your wine."
"Go find Tu'en!"
"Alright, quiet!" Curze brought the farce to an end.
Looking at the scene before him, the Night Haunter suddenly felt like a clown, regretting ever bringing it up.
"Alright, Night Haunter, let's not stray too far from the topic. Let's talk about my death," Shen said.
