Chapter 1451: Chapter 616: Tamu Khan’s Ambition

PS: There will be another update tonight, asking for votes!

In the Throne Hall, the conversation between Magnus and the Emperor continued.

"Her power seems to hold some significant assistance for the creation of the Grey Knights." The Emperor’s voice carried a hint of doubt: "The power of that Alien God is very peculiar, I suspect... you know of the Fall of the Eldar."

"You mean?!" Magnus’s eyes widened suddenly upon hearing the words "the Fall of the Eldar."

Though the Primarch of the Thousand Sons was foolish in many ways, it was undeniable that he was also a figure of vast knowledge, like a professor, and he suddenly realized something: "It seems you’ve found a treasure?"

"Not necessarily, but at least there’s no harm. My conversation with Silegau is based on this." The Emperor did not elaborate further, nor did Magnus; some things were left unsaid.

"...But in the end, that is an Alien God. The Grey Knights are your last gift to humanity, and they must not be tainted by an Alien God." After thinking carefully for a moment, Magnus decided to warn the Emperor: "How can you tolerate such a thing? If you can tolerate this, why couldn’t you tolerate me and the Thousand Sons back then?"

"What makes you think you’re purer than she is? She is more human than you, having absorbed human faith as a deity for over a thousand years, Magnus, don’t use your inferior intellect to judge my plans." The Emperor raised his head, a thin fury of disappointment on His holy face, bathed in endless wonders and light: "Magnus, use your brain for once, why didn’t I kill her, over ten thousand years, all you’ve done is mess things up."

"Yes, fine." Speaking of this matter, Magnus was also full of anger: "Yes, you can send Kiliman on the Unyielding Expedition, you can let Vulcan immerse himself in reforging the Storm Warriors, you send Zhuangsen to campaign against the Tita Star People, you can assuredly let Laine, Fugen, and Angerong battle on that special planet, but what about me? You tricked me into coming here to sit on the Golden Throne, and I only have a dozen or so days of free activity each year. Fine, I endured it for you, and now you’re discontented with me?!"

"This is the only value you have left to contribute to humanity, Magnus." The Emperor’s tone was cold and merciless: "I don’t want to repeat what you ruined back then."

"Tch! Always bringing up that matter!" Magnus stopped his complaint against the Emperor with some frustration, yes, it was he who had messed up everything back then.

The Throne Hall regained its silence, with only the sound of the Golden Throne’s operation and the constant repair and adjustment of machines by the Mechanic Priests filling the room. Magnus had a mind to ask more, but remembered that he had used up all the question opportunities given by the Emperor. Asking again now would likely result in no response from his wise and mighty father.

He hated this feeling.

Thinking it over carefully, Magnus attempted to speak: "Zhuangsen should be returning soon, father?"

Previously, the Dark Angels Primarch Leon El Johnson received orders from the Emperor to lead the Dark Angels in attacking a very important home world of the Titan Empire. Apart from the entire Dark Angels Chapter led by Zhuangsen, the Defenders Army legion from a Mechanical God Cult forge world also participated in this operation.

Zhuangsen was somewhat discontent with always being sent against the Tita Race, whom he viewed as weaklings, but he nonetheless completed his mission well. Together with the Mechanical God Cult’s Defender Army, they formed an Alliance Army, penetrated this home world, and swept through countless support troops sent by the Titan Empire with cruel and ruthless attacks. Countless Fire Warriors were slaughtered in terror and despair, and after the Dark Angels cleared the surface organisms as if wiping clean a sheet of glass, the greatest secret of this Titan Empire home world was revealed to Zhuangsen.

Within this home world were stored the Titan Empire’s highest technological achievements from the past few centuries. In their ecstasy, the Mechanic Priests began excavation work, while Zhuangsen collected a large amount of Alien Technology, feeling satisfied with the war results and his small discontent vanished.

Now, Zhuangsen and his Dark Angels Chapter, aboard the Caliban Battleship, along with a dozen or so Mechanical God Cult giant interstellar freight ships loaded with various of the Titan Empire’s latest war machines and technological research results, are on the return journey to Mars.

Since the Emperor’s return, the Master of Humans has significantly improved the treatment of the Mechanical God Cult, and they no longer report to the Terra Supreme Lord Council, instead being directly under the Emperor’s will.

Even so, the Mechanical God Cult was not particularly grateful; in the eyes of these Mechanic Priests, the Mechanical God Cult was never a part of the Human Empire. The Emperor merely restored them to their rightful status.

Yes, from start to finish, many humans shallowly believed that the Mechanical God Cult was the blind head of the Imperial Double-headed Eagle. This is completely wrong, as from the Founding Generals down to the Gear Boys, all believe that according to the pact between the Emperor and the Mechanical God Cult, the Human Empire is one head of the double-headed eagle, while the Mechanical God Cult is the other, and both are in an equal cooperative relationship.

But the Emperor’s return, bringing a large number of STC modules, filled the Mechanic Priests with immense joy. Now, besides the Great Sage Kaur on Mars, Founding Generals from key worlds like Yellow Springs No.8, Lucius, and Reza have come to Terra one after another to meet the Emperor, presenting their demands and suggestions and taking away many of their "rightful" new technologies.
