The Eagle and the Moth

As Curze was about to continue telling the story of the Siege of Terra, the images in the Klein bottle began to change, transforming from individual pictures into a continuous film.

"Alright, it seems I don't need to explain what happens next. Just treat it like watching a movie."

After a period of chaotic fluctuations, when the image stabilized, the first thing everyone saw was Terra's palace.

Meanwhile, in the royal palace, Rogal Dorn was serving as the commander-in-chief of the Siege of Terra.

"Khan, just to be on the safe side, I expect you to lead your men and hold the palace."

"And then let those conscripts and draft soldiers outside just wait to die?"

"This is the optimal strategy, Khan," Dorn said.

"But you know, Dorn, your plan doesn't fit my fighting style. What I hate most is staying put."

"Besides, we are undertaking Great Crusade, bringing humanity's Planet under the same map, to save them, not to abandon them at this moment."

Dorn frowned upon hearing the Khan's words.

"We must protect the Emperor. If the Emperor is gone, then there is no place that can be called Terra."

"Furthermore, the two of you appearing on the same section of the city wall would most likely result in your deaths."

The scene depicts Dorn facing its most severe challenge at this moment, where the power of any Primarch is indispensable and invaluable.

"Brother, death is a natural part of life for us. You and I will both die; it's just a matter of time."

After speaking, the Khan turned to look at Sanguinius: "Sanguinius, and what about you?"

"I see the future, brother. Death and fear permeate the city walls every moment. We must fight."

"Enough! We must hold our ground now; that's the best course of action!"

"Dorn, my brother, my Prophecy foresaw the future; it is the will of Heaven."

"So, according to your Prophecy, how many people can I save if I leave the city?"

"Countless."

"Then I will go into battle."

The Khan left first, and Sanguinius did not linger either, leaving Dorn alone in the empty corridor.

"Wow, Roger Dorn is under a lot of pressure," the God of War of War remarked from the corner.

"Neither of their actions was wrong, it's just that Dorn wanted to protect the Emperor, while the Khan wanted to protect humanity," the Grandfather said with a smile.

Upon hearing the assessments of the two Warp Gods, the Primarch present all glanced at them.

Given the current situation, the Warp Gods bear a large part of the responsibility, so why are they acting as if nothing happened?

"Don't look at us like that, young man. What happened in our destiny had nothing to do with us before. Now we are the True Gods," Slaanesh said.

In the scene, the Khan leads his army away from the city walls.

"My comrades, my Scions, the walls have held back the enemy, but not the death they bring. Now we will stop them!"

"For the Emperor!"

"For the Khan!"

The White Scars warriors charged directly into the 14th Legion Corps, wreaking havoc and quickly creating an opening with their agile and mobile tactics.

But this was just the beginning; Khan's target was never just ordinary Space Marines.

Soon, the Khan found Mortarion's location.

"You don't look too good right now, my brother."

A wisp of grayish-green mist rose, and a deep, hoarse voice reached the Khan's ears.

"Mortarion, you've changed."

"Hehehe, an unexpected gift, an unexpected turn of events."

The thick green mist dissipated, and Mortarion's figure appeared before the Khan. At the same time, those outside the scene also saw Mortarion's appearance.

"Is this me?"

Mortarion gripped his weapon firmly with one hand, his knuckles turning white from the force.

He stared intently at his reflection in the image, trying to deny that it was him, but he couldn't.

The Chaos Daemon Prince in the image is wearing a gas mask that only Barbarus would wear.

The thing Mortarion recognized was his own, his former self.

"Wings are more pleasing to the eye when they're on an angel's body."

As soon as the Khan finished speaking, his voice had barely faded when he charged forward with his sword, engaging Mortarion in fierce combat.

However, the Khan did not gain the upper hand at first.

Because of his Daemonhood form, Mortarion's power has increased significantly at this moment.

"Look at you, my brother. You've become weaker in front of me now."

"Heh heh, I've come here today specifically for you; I want your head!"

Boom!

In the scene, the Khan and Mortarion are constantly clashing, and of course, the Khan does not let Mortarion go unpunished during the battle.

"You've given up on what you held dear. You used to be so resilient, but look at yourself now!"

"Someone like you doesn't deserve to be my brother, or rather, you're not even human anymore."

"Ha, if you think this will let you defeat me, then so be it!"

Boom!

Mortarion already had a lot of health, and now that he has Nurgle's blessing, the Khan will have a hard time taking him down.

"I should... I should have fought Typhus properly. Everyone knows he's the Primarch of the Legion!"

"My brother, when you become one of us, you will understand what I'm thinking."

"A stinking piece of trash like you? Right now, all I want to do is kill you!"

"Heh, you know, I can't die anymore."

"Not necessarily."

In the scene, the Khan and Mortarion are engaged in a fierce battle, and in the end, the Khan beheads Mortarion.

Upon seeing this scene, at this very moment, Mortarion in this world suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

He patted the Khan on the shoulder.

"Well done, my brother."

"Don't get too involved, Mortarion. We're just watching the fate of that world," the Khan said.

"You're still so lucid, Khan," Mortarion said with a smile.

"We remain loyal, we remain clear-headed."

"Curze, so in the original destiny, I really did die?"

"No, you haven't truly died, Mortarion," Curze said. "For you, now Daemon Prince, death in the Realspace would only send you back to the Warp to reload."

"Based on the information I have, the only power capable of killing Warp creation so far is the Emperor's own."

However, after saying that, Curze glanced at Lorgar.

"If nothing unexpected happens, Lorgar's power can also accomplish this."

Lorgar nodded. He didn't look at the screen again, but instead looked at the three gods sitting in the corner.

"Don't look at me like that, young man. Although you've had ulterior motives towards us, your current strength is far too weak."

"If you used some special methods before we regained our Positive Authority, we might have been wary of you. But now, the threat you pose to us is very limited," the God of War said bluntly.

Lorgar didn't say much about it, he just nodded.

For him, all he needed to know was that he had the power to do this; there was no need to explain the other precautions.

Because my Uncle has always said that Warp Gods are never worth believing in.

Even if they've improved now, we still need to be wary.
