Wild Punches and an Agreement

Boom!

"You traitor! You madman! You've ruined everything!"

A trickle of blood flowed from the Night Haunter's mouth, but he showed no mercy and instead threw a punch.

"A madman? Corvus, you still think I'm a madman even now!"

"My Psychic Power Prophecies are never under my control. Everything I see is happening, but do you believe it?!"

"Boom!"

Corvus managed to steady himself, but he still took a half step back. However, he quickly regained his balance and threw another punch at the Night Haunter.

"You're making excuses! You and your Scions are a bunch of criminals! From the very beginning, poison has flowed in your blood; you have no honor whatsoever!"

Boom!

Without hesitation, the Night Haunter punched Corvus in the face, knocking out one of the Lord of Ravens's front teeth.

"It seems you know, you know everything!"

"You know perfectly well that my Prophecy is correct, but none of you believe it. You think I'm crazy!"

"That's true of Fulgrim, and it's true of Roger Dorn too!"

Corvus immediately retaliated, landing a heavy punch on the Night Haunter's abdomen.

"Traitor!"

The Night Haunter retaliated without hesitation.

Boom!

"Corvus! It's all that desiccated corpse sitting on the Golden Throne's fault!"

"He knew full well that fate would cause half of his brothers to betray him, so he ignored everyone and watched helplessly as half of his brothers went to their deaths, to become food for the Daemon!"

Corvus didn't reply; he just kept punching the Night Haunter, but the Night Haunter knew that Corvus was clear-headed about some things.

"Do you know what happened when Angron came back!"

"Lorgar's Monarchia turned to ashes, and the Emperor didn't even show up; he left the dirty work to the Ultramarines!"

"You were able to find out about this too!"

"And what about you?! Blind loyalty!"

"Shut up!"

Corvus erupted once again, throwing a punch at the Night Haunter, but this time the Night Haunter didn't stand still and throw a wild punch at him.

As he dodged to the side, an uppercut sent Corvus crashing to the floor once more.

"Wake up, Corvus! Ten thousand years have passed, why can't you be as clear-headed as Khan?!"

"A large part of the problems of this dying Imperium of Man stem from that mummified corpse!"

Why won't you admit this fact?!

"Facts? Your betrayal is a fact!"

"It's also a fact that the mummified corpse abandoned its own son!"

The Night Haunter calmed his breathing and looked at Corvus lying on the ground.

"Lie down and calm down for a bit, Corvus. There are some things I need your help with."

"I will not cooperate with a traitor like you."

"In return, I can help you rebuild your Legion, with absolutely pure Gene-seed."

Corvus fell silent.

For him, the Raven Guard had always been a source of anxiety.

The saying goes, "A mental illness requires a mental cure."

This time, the Night Haunter has found the opponent's weakness.

"Don't try anything funny, Corvus. If I can find you the first time, I can find you the second time. You can't beat me, and you can't escape me."

"Then why don't you kill me?"

"I'm not crazy anymore, and my father needs you."

"Ha! Ha! You still have the nerve to call the Emperor your father?!"

"Hmph, he's merely a tool of the Imperium of Man; my father was far greater."

"When you finish what you need to do here and see my father again, you will understand."

"Your father? It seems you, like your worthless Scions, have chosen to recognize a thief as your father and become a lackey of the Chaos Gods."

It would have been better if Corvus hadn't said that; the moment he did, it was as if all his teeth had been knocked out.

"Your father is the Warp God, my father is just a Mortals. Watch your words next time."

Night Haunter was also tired from playing, so he found a place to sit down and rest. Sevatar looked at Corvus lying on the ground with not a single tooth intact.

"Honorable Primarch, would you like me to prepare a set of dentures for you?"

Corvus didn't answer Sevatar's question; he simply turned his head away and closed his eyes.

Otani used a first-aid kit to give the Night Haunter basic first aid.

"I wonder if that Old Cured Meat has burned away all his sanity by now. Why did he suddenly stop showing his powers at this time?" the Night Haunter muttered to himself, sitting to the side.

He had barely finished complaining when a powerful golden light merged into Corvus's body.

A rhythmic golden light began to flash around Corvus.

"You certainly know how to pick your timing, you Old Cured Meat. Why didn't you just wait until I brought him to Terra before you came out?"

"That's a good idea."

"If you really dare to think that way, I'll kill Corvus right now."

The golden light surrounding Corvus suddenly disappeared, and after a long silence, it began to flicker again.

"He's your brother, child."

"But he's your tool, you bastard," the Night Haunter retorted sarcastically. "You bastard, you didn't show yourself from the start, and now you're only here to reap the rewards."

"You've been nagging me for a million years, but no matter what you say, you always treat us like tools."

"This is something that can never be changed; it's a fact that has already happened."

Half an hour later, Corvus sat up.

"You know the details now, right?"

Corvus didn't speak, only nodded mechanically during the time the Emperor was helping him recover from his injuries and remove the Warp erosion.

The Emperor also informed him of the changes in the Night Haunter.

What do you need me to do?

Although he felt a little nauseous, the Emperor said he needed to cooperate with the Night Haunter, so he had no choice but to comply.

Because in his recent conversation with the Emperor, the Emperor told him that the Night Haunter brought powerful hope and a bright future that could definitely be seen.

Corvus initially thought the next step would be to wipe out the Chaos faction in the Warp, but he was wrong.

"Otani has already prepared hot water for you. Take off that tattered armor and go take a hot bath to clear your head."

"Clean yourself up and change into new gear. I don't have Primarch- specific Power Armour here, but I do have standard Power Armour. You can use that for now."

"Then you can adjust your sleep schedule these few days and get a good night's sleep."

"Are you here for tourism?" Corvus couldn't help but sneer.

"Pretty much. Right now, there are very few beings in the entire Warp that can affect me."

"I'm only here to purge some criminals and then rebuild the Eighth Legion. You'll need my help during this time, and in return, I'll take you to see my father."

"Then, my father will find a way to help you rebuild your Legion."

"Believe me, Corvus, the Legion rebuilt under my father's leadership will be stronger than any previous Legiones Astartes."

"Didn't Roboute regroup into the Chapter?"

"Ha, reorganize into Chapter, let Mortals support the Imperium's wars. The Great Crusade is for unifying humanity and leading humanity to glory, not for using humanity as cannon fodder."

"In the face of the entire universe, the Legion is the most basic combat unit."

"Our conversation ends here. Once you've rested, I need to find out where those Chaos Faction members are."
