40K: Where did the Emperor go?

Chapter 191 Trial of the Ambassador
Horus died, the Emperor passed his hand across his eyes, and his body crumbled to ash in a golden flame.

Xiao He came to the Emperor and helped him up: "Father, how are you?"

Emperor: "I have destroyed the world line from which you have strayed. From now on, you are the only Horus."

Horus nodded and said, "Well, father, thank you for helping me escape the fate controlled by the four gods."

At this time, Commissar Kane was holding Draconion in his hand, and the tip of Draconion's sword was gradually pointing at the Emperor.

The Emperor looked at Commissar Kane and waved to him, "Commissar, come here."

Commissar Kane was sweating profusely, with veins popping out of his forehead. "Your Majesty, please get out of the way. I...I can't control myself anymore."

At this time, the boundless hatred and resentment emanating from the magic sword were gradually controlling Kane's body.

"Kill, kill the Emperor... The Emperor must die, He must die..."

The Emperor came in front of Commissar Kane. As the Emperor got closer, Commissar Kane could no longer control the sword in his hand.

At this time, the tip of the sword pierced straight through the emperor's armor and easily pierced into the emperor's chest.

"No!"

Horus cried out as he rushed to the Emperor and Cain, reaching out to pull out the demonic sword that had pierced the Emperor's chest.

"Don't come near! Xiao He, don't come near."

The Emperor stopped Horus's movement.

Horus asked hurriedly, "What should I do, father?"

The emperor reached out and held Kane's hand. A dazzling beam of light and energy emerged. The magic sword in Kane's hand began to deform and shrink with his power, and finally shrank into Kane's right palm.

The power that controlled Kane disappeared. Kane opened his palm, and a grenade bullet lay quietly in his palm.

There was a string of words engraved on the bullet. This was a kind of hieroglyphics from the ancient times, and it was the prototype of the earliest writing in human history.

But even a completely illiterate person can clearly understand the meaning and content of this string of words: the emperor must die.

Commissar Kane held the bullet in his hand and asked, "What should we do with this thing, Your Majesty?"

The Emperor looked at the explosive bomb in Commissar Kane's hand and said, "Put it away, Commissar Kane, you must keep it well. It will play a big role in the future."

Horus looked at the grenade launcher bullet in Commissar Kane's hand, and a picture suddenly emerged in his mind.

A bolter was pressed against the Emperor's back, and then a bullet pierced the Emperor's heart, causing the Emperor to fall to his knees.

Great fear awakened Horus from the illusion and returned to reality.

Horus advised the Emperor: "Father, destroy this thing. It is too dangerous to keep it."

The Emperor reached out and touched Horus' head. "Humanity needs it, my son. We must keep it. It is the only thing that can kill me."

Horus hurriedly asked, "It's something that can hurt you, why should we keep it?"

Emperor: "This is necessary insurance to prevent me from harming and controlling humanity in the future."

Horus: "No one can match your loyalty to humanity. I don't believe you would do that. I know how powerful you are. If you want to do that, you have countless opportunities and you can do it at any time."

The Emperor patted Horus on the shoulder and said, "Leave it. Perhaps you won't need it in the future. It's just an insurance policy."

At this time, the Vengeful Spirit began to shake and the ship was collapsing.

The Emperor reached out and grabbed Horus and Commissar Kane: "Let's get out of here."

The Emperor teleported both of them to the ground and onto the wall of Lion's Gate.

The Emperor looked up at the sky, and saw the Spirit of Vengeance gradually falling towards the ground. Such a huge ship was gradually approaching the ground, giving everyone on the ground a feeling that the sky was falling.

Sanguinius immediately took flight towards the Emperor.

Trajan shouted, "Protect the Emperor!"

All the Custodes also rushed to the Emperor at the first opportunity, followed by all the Asterta and Astra Militarum.

The Emperor stretched out his hand and unleashed an infinite force, opening a space-time rift and throwing the entire Spirit of Vengeance into it.

A shocking disaster was easily resolved with a single move by the emperor.

The people below began to cheer for the greatness of the Emperor, and all the people of the empire cheered for having such a great leader and god.

Malcador came to the Emperor's side. "Did you get the thing?"

The Emperor nodded and looked to Malcador: "We still have much to do next."

Malcador glanced at Kane and his clenched right hand: "The gun and bullets are all there, but the one who fired the gun is not strong enough."

Emperor: "I will arrange the next one together."

The Emperor held out his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet.

With a gesture of the emperor, all sounds disappeared instantly. This was not magic or superpower, but his supreme power and prestige.

The Emperor spoke, his voice reaching everyone's ears: "My people, today we have once again defeated the evil god of the warp. With the help of Commissar Kane, I brought back my son."

The Emperor beckoned Commissar Cain to come before him and placed his hands on his shoulders. "I now grant Commissar Cain the title of hero. He is our hero."

"Hero! Hero! Kane, the hero of the Empire!"

"Praise the Emperor, praise the hero, Commissar Caiaphas Cain!"

Political Commissar Kane was stunned. What was going on? He didn't do anything.

He knew that the Spirit of Vengeance relied entirely on the great power of the Emperor. In his opinion, he had been just a sidekick in the past.

How come he has now been named a hero of the empire by the emperor himself?

The Emperor raised his hand again to signal silence, and then announced again: "Before I returned to Terra, I traveled with Commissar Cain for a period of time. Commissar Cain had given me a lot of help before that, so I decided to give Commissar Cain a privileged position. Commissar Cain will be the Imperial Judge Ambassador. When encountering injustice, Commissar Cain has the right to sue anyone in the Empire in the Terra court. The court must give a fair trial, regardless of the other party's identity."

"Long live! Long live Commissar Kane!"

"A fair court! Long live the Imperial Ambassador of Justice!"

…………

Since being named a hero of the Empire, Commissar Kane has been caught up in the solicitation and struggle of various Imperial forces.

Especially the Imperial Ecclesiarch. Commissar Kane could feel that these guys had green light in their eyes when they looked at him.

Political Commissar Kane was certain that after his death, these guys would do whatever they could to get their hands on his body and make it into a holy object for exhibition and worship.

Political Commissar Kane knew that many saints who were canonized by the state religion after their death had their coffins knocked open, their shrouds pulled out and collected, and their bones ground into powder and made into holy vessels for worship and publicity to believers.

Commissar Kane looked at the grenade launcher and the bomb in his hand. After thinking it over, he went to see the Emperor.

Emperor: "You want to resign?"

Political Commissar Kane: "I hope you can allow me to do this. I am too incompetent to be qualified for my current position."
