That's right, all that's left are to dry up and destroy these three Chaos Gods.
But they are not fools who would sit idly by and wait for their doom—ten thousand years ago, these cunning beings would lie in wait, cooperate, and deceive, and ten thousand years later, they have no reason not to understand these things.
"You've given me a big task, Your Majesty."
Kaska gave a helpless, bitter smile.
I understand this is a difficult task... but you, Casca, you are our last hope.
Hope remains
Despite the immense difficulty of breaking into the palaces of the remaining three gods and seizing the fragments of the emperor's humanity from them.
But Casgar accepted the challenge nonetheless.
So, that's why.
"Where is Fugrim, whom I came here hoping to see the most?"
No need to rush, she's right here.
As the Emperor finished speaking, a pale purple-pink ball of light quietly came to rest in front of Casca.
Chapter 269 So Cute and Adorable When Meeting the Emperor (Part 2)
【What's this?】
Phew...at least we can finally get back together!
Drawn by the ball of light, the two swords in Casca's hands seemed to be summoned and rose into the air, colliding with the ball of light in the sky.
Almost at the same moment of fusion, the flames in Casca's hands burst forth and burned within the fused orb of light—
What should we say at this point?
Shouting "Rise again, my love!"?
Kasga didn't know, or rather, he wasn't sure how to deal with this situation that he longed to encounter but was so shy and at a loss when he actually did.
What is he going to do to express his opinion?
But everyone's here, Emperor Mortalian and Loliman are watching us. Would it be too hasty to just hug her and shower her with kisses while she's crying? But what if I act too indifferently? Will Forgrim be angry? After all, this is a reunion after ten thousand years. What if her insecurities flare up again? What should I do...?
There was no time to think further. As the power of the flames was restored, the body of the former Imperial Warmaster Vograim was reconstructed before his eyes—the clothes she was wearing before she disappeared were also restored at the same time.
While Kasgar was still contemplating how to face Forgrim, whom he would meet again after ten thousand years, she appeared before him, clad in her magnificent crimson cloak as an Imperial Warmaster.
Her long, flowing silver hair cascaded down naturally, creating a fragrant breeze. Her bright, amethyst-like eyes met his gaze, filled with tender affection.
“Forgrim…I…”
What are you saying?!
Hey, you shut-up, get moving!
Everyone's watching! The Emperor, Mortalian, and Loliman are all watching!
Fugrim is watching you too!
As Furym returned to the world under the restoration of the psionic flames in Kasgar's hands, Kasgar, who had been extremely meticulous and patient in his plans for the Phoenix Sons' rise to power and eventual seizure of control on Holy Terra, was now utterly speechless.
What...what are you going to say?
"There's nothing more to say, Casgar."
Just like ten thousand years ago, they were of one mind. She smiled gently and slowly cupped Casca's slightly nervous face.
"I....."
Do you think I would deny your efforts to save us all because of this?
"In fact, I like this clumsy look the most."
As he spoke, Fugrim licked his lips and kissed him on the forehead.
She's so kind; she's always supported Casca with the gentlest words and actions.
However, it seems...
It seems that Fugrim's true form is somewhat different from when he had two swords in his hand and they were arguing on his shoulder before.
"But... I seem to have heard something different about you from the fragments of the stabbing sword and the cleaving sword."
"they--"
A slightly cold hand covered his mouth.
Then, Kasgar saw the other person's ambiguous, threatening expression.
"Casgar—"
"You don't remember anything, right?"
All the memories were merged.
Previously, with Casca, her two fragments argued and exposed each other's weaknesses on Casca's shoulder, revealing her true nature...
She remembers everything.
【...】
[Ahem, alright, I hope you two can continue your efforts for the revival of the human emperor.]
Next up, Mortalian.
As the Emperor's voice rang in everyone's ears, Mortalian stepped forward a few paces and put his power scythe on his back.
"I am back."
【Um】
The two socially awkward individuals seemed to have exhausted all their language abilities after just one greeting, and they just stood there facing each other without saying a word.
"We don't need to say more, I understand your meaning and expectations."
“I will continue to serve this damned empire, but not because of you.”
Despite Mortalian's high praise for the Emperor during his conversation with Mathieu.
But when it came down to face, he found it hard to admit that the Emperor was right, and that he was just a rebellious child dissatisfied with the route the other had planned.
I can't bring myself to say it.
I simply can't bring myself to speak.
The same seems to be true for the Emperor's side.
【...】
After speaking, Mortalian slowly stepped back—for these two taciturn father and son, these words were enough to rival the amount of conversation they had had over several years.
As for you, Guilliman... thank you for your hard work on internet technology.
【mine......】
Daughter—no, that's not right.
【son】
"You! You hesitated just now! Didn't you!"
Loriman was extremely angry at his brief silence.
What does it mean to say that I'm working hard for the sake of internet technology?
"And how did you know about my exchange of network technology with that alien witch?"
You didn't actually conspire with those aliens beforehand to have me seduce them, did you?
Then I recall the Eldar prophet Eldrad claiming to be an old friend of the Emperor...
wrong?!
This old man Huang... could he really have been involved in such a plan?
【...】
The emperor remained silent.
However, this time it seems that it's not just because of social anxiety.
Could it be...?
Could it be that turning Guilliman into a little girl and sending him to seduce Evelynn (so he wouldn't be able to challenge anyone to a duel) was also part of the Emperor's plan?!
Kaska suddenly shuddered.
Thinking of Eldrad, the Eldar swordsmanship the Emperor used when teaching Horus, and some of the rumors surrounding this guy, it seems...
【Shh】
A voice that, by all accounts, should never have come from the human emperor standing before him rang in Casca's ears.
It's unclear whether it was because Casca successfully burned down Nurgle Garden that a fragment of humanity was able to return to his body.
He's much more lively than Casca had initially imagined.
......
You should leave now... I need to talk to Casca about something...
After giving the Primarchs a warning about threats from all over the world (and a whole host of familiar questions), the Emperor opened his armory to the Primarchs still in the Empire.
During this trip, Casgar acquired a prototype of a bomb gun personally crafted by the Emperor.
As a weapon widely used by the human empire, the bomb gun did not originate from the Dark Ages, but was a product designed by the Emperor.
In the past, the Emperor created the prototype of this bomb gun based on his knowledge of existing weapons.
Naturally, the craftsmanship used by emperors would be many times superior to that of ordinary people.
Since his return, Casca has indeed not had any suitable expeditionary weapons—but when it comes to a round where long-range firepower is needed, this prototype of the bomb gun, made by the Emperor himself, will surely bring an extra surprise to the enemy.
As for the Emperor's treasures, the [Emperor's Sword], which possesses the power to extinguish demonic flames, it was bestowed upon Fugrim.
As the Imperial War Commander, possessing this sword that symbolizes the Emperor's great glory will surely rekindle people's fascination with the great Emperor.
Faced with Roboute Guilliman, who had lost all his fighting ability, the Emperor chose to give the largest amulet, forged from his True Armor, to Loriman.
Although Loliman no longer has the ability to fight anyone one-on-one, she still has some means of retaliation against potential assassinations or attacks in the future.
Network technology is of paramount importance.
By sacrificing Guilliman's charms slightly, Evelyn's maternal instincts can be awakened, allowing her to temporarily acquire some knowledge of the online world from him, thus making final preparations for building her online network.
Thus, in today's xenophobic human empire, diplomatic relations between the two sides can find a place through marriage...
This is a great deal!
As humanity's last hope, Robout Guilliman, Lord of Altera, sacrificed his virtue to become the Savior, even though the Eldar would consider him a liar, a traitor, and a thief for stealing Web Path secrets...
It's all up to you, Guilliman!
As for the last thing served to Mortalian, it was an exquisitely carved incense burner from the Emperor's collection—it was said that this incense burner would continuously release a calming effect.
Regarding weaponry, Mortalian seemed to trust his own weapons more and did not accept any gifts from the Imperial Armory.
Wait... Casca, before you leave, you'll stay here for now.
I have something else to say to you.
For me?
Kasgar looked around blankly, then focused his gaze back on the skeleton perched on the high platform.
Even at this moment, an invisible mist still shrouded him, making it seem impossible for Casca to perceive the other's true existence from his perspective.
Even now, that remains true.
"It's alright, Casca."
"We'll be waiting for you outside."
Fugrim spoke in a very gentle voice.
Although her image has been completely destroyed by those two pieces of gossip that inexplicably flew around and spread everywhere... but!
