"Based on the three men's plan, Roboute was to lead the army to intercept the Heresy faction who were about to head to the Solar System. At the same time, he would try his best to mobilize troops from the Ultramar system to provide reinforcements to Terra."

"Lion El'Jonson himself led his Legion to the Homeworlds of the various Horus Heresy Legions, punishing them with absolute annihilation."

Sanguinius led his people to Terra, and on the Terra, Sanguinius' Prophecy allowed him to see a vision of the future.

"In the final battle, he stood alone beside the Emperor, and there, he would meet his Fated Death."

"The Great Angel is dead?!" Horus could not believe this news.

The news that Curze said surprised everyone present.

Of all the brothers, Sanguinius is the most perfect.

He was elegant, rational, and loyal.

He inherited the Divinity aspect of the Emperor and brought the beauty of Divinity to its fullest expression.

"Yes Horus, the Great Angel is dead."

"As we all know, the Great Angel is perfect, and there is no one in the entire Imperium who does not love the Great Angel."

"Similarly, the Chaos Gods of the Warp also want him."

The people in the Throne Room looked toward a corner where a table stood and three people sat there listlessly.

This is a visitor from the Warp who has barely uttered a few words since arriving here.

"What are you looking at? Curze is absolutely right. In our hearts, the Great Angel is perfect, so we want him too."

"If fate unfolds according to its predetermined course, and I cannot obtain the Great Angel, then I can only destroy him."

"Aren't you ashamed at all saying that?" Horus asked angrily.

"Horus, remember this: as the God of War, I will not evade what I have done, nor will I admit to what I did not do."

"If it's considered Chaos Gods, then as everyone knows, Chaos Gods are all evil."

"You!"

Horus was so angry he couldn't utter a word; he felt this God of War was comparable to Dorn.

This person speaks bluntly and has absolutely no emotional intelligence.

"Heh, listen to history stories, kid. You're too green to mess with me."

After saying that, the God of War ignored him and continued to sit idly with his colleagues.

They could also see clearly that everything appearing in the Klein bottle was merely a phantom left behind by Han Mingxuan as he passed through fate.

They will not express their opinions until they have seen for sure what happened to Han Mingxuan in that world.

"Alright, Horus, let's continue."

"Sigh, okay."

"At that point in time, the Horus Heresy would have been the last war of the Great Crusade."

"For humanity to come, that will be the most devastating beginning of all wars."

"At that time, the situation was not easy for the Heresy faction."

"While the power of Chaos amplified the Heresy faction's offensive, Chaos also continuously influenced and consumed them."

"After their Daemonhood, Fulgrim and Angron became increasingly insane, as did Loka, Lorgar Witchcraft about Warp."

"Lorgar even orchestrated a coup in order to increase his standing in the eyes of the Warp Gods."

"His confidence in the coup stemmed from the fact that when Horus's fleet passed through the Threos System, the Wolf King, with his few remaining warriors and wielding the Dionysian Spear bestowed upon him by the Emperor, boarded the Vengeful Spirit."

"The Dionysian Spear possesses the Emperor's own power, capable of directly negating the effects of the Warp. However, Russ ultimately failed; his Scions exerted all their strength to pull him from the Vengeful Spirit."

"That's precisely why the mad and radical Lorgar had his chance."

"He used the power of the Warp and the Daemon Prince's true name to control Fulgrim, launching an internal rebellion."

"In order to suppress the Legion and take Terra as soon as possible, Horus had no choice but to make another deal with the Warp. He embraced the darkness more and more, and his power grew stronger and stronger."

Finally, he expelled Lorgar.

"Wait, I have a question."

"What's wrong, Xiao Mo?"

"How did Lorgar manage to control Fulgrim?"

"According to the Night Haunter, every Daemon has its own true name. As long as you know the Daemon's true name and recite it, you can banish and control the Daemon."

"As for the other reason, it is related to Lorgar himself."

"Does this have anything to do with me personally?"

Curze nodded, looking at Lorgar with a very serious expression.

"Lorgar, I don't know if you've noticed, but you look very much like the Emperor, and at the same time, your power is also very similar to the Emperor's."

"You may not be the strongest in terms of physical strength in the Realspace, but you are the strongest in terms of attack power against Warp beings."

"So, in the original timeline, your decision to throw yourself into Chaos was the worst possible choice. Even becoming a religious leader would have been better than being a powerless Chaos Daemon Prince."

"Curze, you clearly said you wouldn't write critical reviews," Lorgar said.

"This isn't a critique, my brother; I'm just stating a simple fact."

"Actually, whether in the original universe or in this universe, after the Emperor ordered the Ultramarines to destroy Monarchia, you almost understood."

"If it weren't for those two bastards Erebus and Kor Phaeron Corruption your mind, you wouldn't have ended up plunging into Chaos."

Upon hearing Curze's words, Lorgar fell into a deep silence.

"What you said is absolutely right, but I don't know why I couldn't understand such a simple truth back then."

Upon hearing this Curze smiled and then gave Lorgar an answer that left her both amused and exasperated.

"According to Dad, this means you've become intelligent, which is quite an achievement."

"Your answer may sound surprising, but upon closer inspection, it makes perfect sense."

Lorgar never expected that he, as a Primarch, would ever need to use the term "enlightened."

"Horus was already very strong at that time. He was so strong that even Russ, who had awakened the Warp Essence and was wielding the Dionysian Spear, could not defeat him."

"In terms of individual strength, only Emperor could possibly defeat him, but in large-scale warfare, he would be facing not only Astartes, but also Mortals."

"From a historical perspective, whether it was the Age of Great Crusades or the ten millennia following the Horus Heresy, Mortals have always been the protagonists of history."

"Therefore, the Siege of Terra was a war between Primarch, a war between the Primarch and the Emperor, and a war between the Primarch and Mortals."

"But that's all just appearances, isn't it?"

"Yes, Magnus, your observation is very keen. These are all appearances. Why don't you guess what the truth is?"

Magnus didn't think for long before giving the answer, and that answer was correct.

"If my deduction is correct, then the most fundamental reason for this war is actually the backlash from the pent-up emotions in the Warp."

"And under the influence of fate, everything the Emperor did, as well as Horus himself, became pawns and puppets in this counterattack."

Curze nodded, confirming Magnus's answer.

"You're right, Magnus, everything is as you say."
