An unimaginable silver light covered everything in the world. The radiance, which was both comforting and extremely painful to demons, instantly enveloped the immortal being's entire body, rendering him unable to move.
"Huh, why is there a button here?"
Kasgar stared in surprise at the familiar spot on his hand where a secret only he knew had appeared, and instinctively pressed it down.
call out!
The retractable, powered spearhead pierced the demon's head, followed by endless golden-red flames that instantly incinerated it, leaving no trace.
That's right.
The retractable powered weapon that Kasgar casually developed to fight against the future demon army has now been equipped on every Grey Knight.
"Should I...be happy?"
His lips twitched, and he turned around and casually tossed the halberd to the gray knight behind him, who was looking completely shocked.
one strike.
This unnamed Space Marine, clad in extremely ornate and unidentified power armor, instantly killed the troublesome Demon Undying Lucius with a single, casual strike.
Moreover, the psionic light emitted by that vengeance-powered weapon... even if the Supreme Grand Master of the Grey Knights were present, he could not possibly unleash such powerful psionic energy...
With such immense power, could he be the chief think tank of some founding group? No, even the chief think tank couldn't possess such vast spiritual energy.
Seeing the ashes turn to dust, the Grey Knight couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief—
"stop!"
Just as the Grey Knight was about to feel relieved that his mission was finally completed, the golden-red flames instantly covered his entire body.
"The reason why the immortals can be reborn is because of their disgusting power of reincarnation."
Before the other person could react, Casca had already placed his hand on his forehead.
"If you feel even the slightest sense of accomplishment or joy after killing Lucius, he will parasitize your soul and eventually replace your body to be reborn."
"And your own soul will suffer eternal torment, just like the twisted and pained face on his [Howling Soul Armor]."
"Remember to remind your colleagues, Grey Knight."
After saying that, Kasgar glanced around—unfortunately, the same Recycler from before had reappeared at the scene of the Chaos invasion. According to the rules of the Grey Knights, he would most likely be silenced for knowing about the existence of Chaos.
"Let's just see this as helping someone to the very end."
Kasgar reluctantly unleashed his flames again, burning away any information about the Chaos Demon from the man's memory.
"Who...who exactly are you?"
“Casgar, the chief lord of the Emperor’s Sons Legion,” he replied, turning his head slightly, “I hope my story will still be told ten thousand years from now.”
"Casgar? Is it the Hero Casgar from the Sons of the Emperor Chapter?"
The Emperor's Sons Chapter...
Warband...
You, Guilliman, I—
Ugh.
Kaska had something to say, but considering he'd been working tirelessly for seven thousand years... he decided against it.
"Yes."
"But..." the Grey Knight asked, becoming somewhat wary, "wasn't the hero Kasgar already dead in battle?"
—Imperial Warmaster, Primarch Vograim, son of the Emperor, and his consort Kasgar Sherlock, fought against the traitorous Shadowmoon Wolves and the Iron Hand Legion on Eastvan III in an attempt to stop the madness of Primarch Filus of the Iron Hand, but were outnumbered and outmaneuvered by the enemy's cunning and evil.
In the end, the two perished together with Phyllis.
Fugrim is celebrated as the first Primarch to perish in the Great Rebellion, while Kasgar is revered as the hero Kasgar by the Empire of Man.
This is the most authoritative account currently existing within the empire.
Now, when he calls himself Kasgar, to the Grey Knights it's as if another hero of the Empire—Hero Macardo—has suddenly appeared before them.
......
"Who?!"
"Who's going around telling everyone I'm dead?"
Casca finds it hard to accept the reality that his fate has already been sealed.
But... this is indeed the best way to protect him.
After all, the Son of the Emperor is not some super army that has five hundred worlds... Without enough troops to protect them, they have no way to charge admission fees for visiting the stasis field.
Meanwhile, to prevent the existence of the missing Vogra and Kasgar and their stasis field from being detected by the forces of Chaos and a certain Xenomorph who enjoys collecting artifacts, Vesper, the first Chapter Master of the Sons of the Emperor, ultimately decided to announce Vogra's disappearance and Kasgar's death.
In this way, the hero Casgar, who lies quietly in the stasis field of the fortress monastery, is protected.
—As for why his static force field ultimately appeared in a demon world and was trapped by layers of chaos...
That's not a question we should be discussing right now.
"Ancient heroes of the past...reappear in the world with golden flames and great power."
"You are......"
The Grey Knight's gaze swept over the brand-new imperial statue standing to the side.
"The Emperor!!!"
The Recycler Toki, who had just woken up after his memories were erased, let out an incredulous shout.
Emperor!
He is the emperor!
"What! It's actually the Emperor!"
The Grey Knight was equally shocked.
of course!
That goes without saying!
In the golden flames, he realized just how magnificent a being had descended before him.
This person possesses psychic power far exceeding that of the Supreme Grand Master and claims to be the reincarnation of Casgar, a hero who died in battle tens of thousands of years ago.
His flames can burn away all evil and heal all wounds in the world.
And the only one capable of achieving this goal is—
The Emperor himself!!!
"My lord... is that you?"
When a loyal Grey Knight encounters a human emperor, he will—
ecstatic?
Weeping bitterly?
Terrified?
still--
Zzzzz!
The power halberd in the Gray Knight's hand suddenly emitted an even more intense light.
"By the [Ultimate Edict], please forgive me, King of Kings, Great Emperor."
"You must return to the Golden Throne."
"If...you are still our king."
(Ultimate Decree: The Lord of Mankind, the Emperor, must never leave the Golden Throne—whether by resurrection, reincarnation into another body, or ascension into the Warp in some Warp entity form; if he does leave the Golden Throne, the Grey Knights must bring him back to fulfill that terrible duty.)
Swords and spears turned against each other.
Elbow, come back to Terra with me!
"Wait a moment!"
Kasgar dodged the spear that the gray knight was about to place in front of him with a quick movement.
Are you sick?
I'm not an emperor!
If I were truly the Emperor, could you Grey Knights possibly hold me back?
Kasgar didn't want to clash with the Grey Knights here—that would only invite the Chapter's High Master to intervene.
Even though the Supreme Grandmaster could not possibly be his match, at this moment, Kasgar absolutely could not simply go to Holy Terra with them.
Now that Vandir is the Highlord of Terra, Kasgar doesn't have Primarch-level appeal. If he were to return like this, he would likely face not hero treatment, but rather house arrest and assassination.
But now, he is surrounded by enemies: the orc overlord "The Beast," the Leviathan hive fleet, King Huron, the invincible Chaos Warmaster Abaddon, and the Four Gods who have been lurking for ten thousand years...
With external enemies surrounding them and internal instability, Casca must learn from Guilliman's experience in the original timeline—prepare a super army comparable to the Ultramarines in advance, and return with a massive number of warships and Space Marines to claim the regency!
If he were alone now, even with the power of the Primarch, he wouldn't be able to command the Empire's long-standing, bloated, and inefficient civil service system.
We must first assemble a large army.
Using this military force to remonstrate with the high lord, he seized the throne as regent!
—Let's do it Guilliman's way!
Bear!
With these thoughts in mind, Kasga disappeared from this world under the cover of the raging flames.
correct.
Has he forgotten something?
(The Tau Empire, preparing for its third expansion: Achoo!)
......
"...Calling the Inquisitor, prepare to communicate with the Grand Master via interstellar communication."
"We have discovered the incarnation of the Lord of Mankind on this planet, and we implore the Supreme Master to carry out the ultimate decree."
After Kasgar went missing, the Grey Knight dialed his communication system.
Chapter 214 A cunning person will die for the country
Psychic power is incredibly useful.
Kasgar couldn't help but think to himself, "I'm at the end of the line for applying to be a crew member on a Voidship."
Under the shaping influence of psychic power, his height of nearly three meters while wearing armor was instantly transformed into that of a young and thin worker. After the disguise was complete, he arrived at the nearby starport with great excitement and stood behind the list of teams recruiting crew members.
During the journey, Casca was also constantly planning how to strengthen its own power.
If all goes well, his best course of action right now is to find the homeworld or fortress monastery of the Sons of the Emperors as soon as possible. Perhaps most of the Sons of the Emperors have perished with the passage of time, but the famous apothecary of the Sons of the Emperors, Melusin, who can finally be called an old Chinese medicine doctor ten thousand years later, can definitely prove his identity.
Contacting the Son of God would be enough; that wouldn't be too difficult for Casca.
However, his situation was not without its challenges—he did not know why the Emperor would design the existence of the [Ultimate Edict], which would cause the Grey Knights Chapter and even the entire Inquisition to search for his whereabouts all over the world and use all means to bring him to Holy Terra.
You must hide your identity.
Now, the Grey Knight will most likely search for him throughout the entire hive city in the name of the ultimate decree. If he were to board the ship arranged by the governor as originally planned, he would most likely be stopped on the spot by the Inquisition.
Even if he, Kasgar, could defeat the Grey Knights and the Inquisitors, the ensuing star system blockade would be something he couldn't handle.
In this empire beset by internal and external troubles and surrounded by enemies, every second counts.
—Casca chose the nearby Badab War as its first target.
The reason is simple: the Badab War was nothing more than a conflict between a few warband commanders over honor and troop allocation, which was exacerbated by the Empire's inefficient and foolish management and operation, ultimately leading to tragedy.
Ruft Huron, also known as King Huron the Blackheart, is the Chapter Master of the Astartes Chapter, Starclaw, stationed in the Badab Sector. He is responsible for guarding the Great Vortex, the area connecting the Imperium to the Warp. Because it connects to the Warp like the Eye of Terror, it has become a refuge for many Chaos Space Marines, traitors, pirates, and Xenomorphs.
Wang Hulun was a man of exceptional talent, skilled in both military affairs and agriculture. Not long after taking office, he brought order to the previously chaotic Badab Sector, cultivating extremely close relationships with his fellow Space Marines from the surrounding chapters—whether it was the Lamenters or the Mantis Warriors, all the Space Marine chapters respected him as their leader. Rumors circulated that he was nicknamed "Timely Rain Wang Hulun," or simply "Brother Wang."
Unfortunately, he shared the same flaw as his genetic father: ambition.
