Chapter 255 Are you Sanguinius? So who am I? (4K "big" chapter)

[Remember your mission. 】

[Remember your loyalty. 】

[The most important thing is to always remind yourself who you really are. 】

In the endless desolate plain, a superhuman warrior wearing a furnace-grey power armor was standing alone on the cracked land. The hot wind was carrying flying sand all over the sky, obscuring the distant scenery.

He just watched quietly, muttering to himself.

"I am Levin, the newly promoted Astartes of the Chapter, the glorious son of Sanguinius, and I am no one else."

After repeating this sentence three times, the young man named Levin took a deep breath, then put the helmet tightly on his head again, and nodded towards the sky. I am already prepared.

Then, as if a switch was flipped, the wind on the plain suddenly became more violent. If it weren't for the help of this power armor, Levin even thought that he would be swept directly into the sky. At this moment, there was a weird sound. A war cry suddenly came from behind the curtain-like sandstorm.

“waaagh!!!”

Is it a public acknowledgment of their existence?
Or, as most of the Chapter's senior leaders agree, return them to the Ashes Alliance to avoid trouble?
Even Mephiston, who is the chief think tank, is undecided about this right now, but it sounds like the latter is a good idea.
Based on the above reasons, in order to train and test recruits without attracting the attention of outsiders, with the help of the Ashes Alliance, a giant [holographic training ground] was built underground in the monastery. It can simulate the most realistic battlefield environment.

As a new type of training ground, due to its extremely high convenience, a similar [holographic training ground] was built in the Holy Blood Castle not long ago under the strong recommendation of Chapter Master Dante, and it quickly became popular. Welcomed by most of the Chapter Brothers.

Seeing that he was about to be besieged, Levin initially wanted to take the initiative to distance himself from these savage creatures in order to use his expertise in shooting. But at this moment, with the flash of holographic projection light, several more green-skinned creatures appeared. Suddenly, he appeared behind him out of thin air, blocking his retreat.

Although these orcs were indeed dangerous opponents, it was obviously not a difficult battle for Levin. After only a few minutes, all ten unlucky greenskins fell at his feet.

Seeing that the soldier named Levin was beginning to get tired from the long battle, he took this opportunity to speak to the pharmacist on the side.

In desperation, Levin had no choice but to pull out the combat knife from the storage compartment of the right leg armor, and before the next round of attacks arrived, he once again took the life of a green-skinned beast with his reaction power far exceeding that of his opponent.

These green-skinned aliens armed with crude weapons were very fast. They rushed in front of Levin in the blink of an eye. The fastest green-skinned one jumped up and screamed, trying to chop the gray can in front of him into pieces with the machete in his hand. Two halves, but after a gunshot, the alien's head was blown into several pieces by the explosion.

The two of them are currently in a secret monastery on the Haven 2 satellite, which is the headquarters of the [Ashe Angels] battle group, although nominally the Ash Angels are still the descendants of Sanguinius.

Roars like wild beasts came and went, and not long after, several vague figures appeared in the wind and sand in the distance. With superhuman sharp senses, Levin recognized those Orcs at a glance.

Hearing this, the pharmacist just nodded silently to an operator in the distance, then reached out and pressed a button with a wolf head mark on the operating table nearby.

But before he could wipe off the animal blood covering the blade, a beam of silver-white shuriken light bullets suddenly penetrated the thick sandstorm and concentrated on his ceramic steel breastplate in the blink of an eye, looking like a ghost. With two Eldar banshees appearing behind the curtain, Levin knew that his trial was far from over.
At the same time, in the command room with the holographic projection shining, Mephiston, the chief think tank of the Blood Angels, was standing in front of a huge electronic screen with a pharmacist, observing the warrior named Levin and many alien enemies. The detailed process of fighting.

But now, the newcomer who has just completed the Armor Ceremony has surpassed most of the members of the parent group in rankings and achieved a score of up to 400,000 points. This is enough to prove that these new Aspens that have been transformed by the alliance's biotechnology Tate does have quite impressive abilities.

"It's time and I want to make sure they're ready."

A burst of heavy footsteps suddenly came from behind him at this moment. When Levin turned around, the scene in front of him suddenly made him freeze on the spot and became a little overwhelmed.

Appearing behind him was a giant wearing a black Terminator armor, holding a Worldbreaker warhammer, and wearing a wolfskin cape behind him.

Looking at the recruit active in the training ground on the screen, as the battle continued, the recruit's system score and ranking continued to increase. This situation made Mephiston frown.

Watching the opponent's body limp and falling, he felt that he was about to reach his limit at this time, and even his vision began to become blurry. Just when he thought that the test was coming to an end, he was looking forward to his excellent results. When the war group is recognized by the parent group.

However, due to the use of genetic technology provided by the Ashes Alliance, and the fact that it does not comply with the regulations of the [Code of Astartes] and possesses a genetic characteristic called [Echo], to this day there is still no Come up with a clear discussion on how to accommodate this particular group of members.

On the other side, amidst the screams of the banshees and the collision of steel, Levin, who had found the right moment, finally successfully pierced the dagger into the chest of the Eldar woman, thus ending this seemingly endless battle.

However, what Mephiston cares more about than these is the will of these brothers and whether their spirits can be as strong as their bodies.

The moment he looked at Levin, a contemptuous smile appeared on the giant's face.

Levin recognized that face.
The other party was the one who had appeared in the dream, the terrifying existence that brought about end and death.
In extreme shock, Levin involuntarily called out the name that had been mentioned many times in his dreams in a tragic tone.

"Horus, my brother."

As if a memory switch had been touched, those dream scenes began to flood into Levin's mind again.

The false fragments and reality were intertwined with each other, which made him confused, unable to distinguish which side was the illusion and which side was the real thing.

After realizing that he had fallen into chaos, Levin quickly began to remind himself not to be affected by those illusions, and began to repeat his name over and over again.

However, when he briefly woke up from those illusions, just like ten thousand years ago, he saw that the Worldbreaker war hammer had been raised above his head.

Soon, as the automatic hatch opened, when Levin walked out of the training ground, the priest from the Blood Angels mother group had been waiting outside the door for a long time. The battles that had just occurred were being replayed on the screen on the side. Not surprisingly, Levin was defeated by Horus after only five rounds.

However, there is nothing that can be done about it. After all, as the final trial of the Ash Angels, the calculation device of the training ground still simulates the fighting power of the original body as much as possible. Therefore, compared with combat skills, this last level is What is tested more is the ability to resist the [Echo] state.

In the eyes of the instructors from the Blood Angels parent group, only one who can maintain oneself under strong stimulation is a qualified descendant of angels.

Obviously, they regard [Echo] as something similar to [Black Rage], so they have always maintained a strong vigilance about it.

"Tell me who you are?"

Facing the pastor's question, Levin chose to kneel down on one knee and answered calmly to the pastor in front of him.

"I am Levin, a descendant of the angels from Haven."

In response to this answer, the priest wearing a skull mask nodded with satisfaction.

However, just as the other party was preparing to arrange the next round of tests for the recruits in front of them, suddenly, the angry roar of another priest instructor was heard not far away.

"No! You are not Sanguinius!"

Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw another priest yelling at a young man who was also a recruit.

"You're Karl! It's Karl Franz from Haven!"

It can be seen that the other party is very helpless, and the young man named Karl in front of him is watching the pastor in front of him calmly, always keeping a smile on his face.

"I don't understand what you're talking about, and my son doesn't understand what happened to me, but I'm happy to see you again."

The moment he heard this, the pastor's three lungs were about to explode with anger. After all, no one could accept it. He was taken advantage of by a junior who was younger than him. The next second, he was furious. shouted.

"You are not my father! Wake up now!!"

This farce naturally attracted the attention of everyone present. Apparently, the young man named Karl fell into a state called [Echo] and regarded himself as the lost original body. This is true in the Ash Angels Chapter. The middle calculation is a relatively common situation.

There was even a strange phenomenon within the war group where several people called themselves Sanguinius at the same time, thus accusing each other of being impostors.

Seeing the angry look of the priest, Levin was secretly glad at first that he woke up from those illusions in time, otherwise he would be the one who was embarrassed now.

However, when he accidentally saw the replay of the battle of the Karl brothers through the screen of the training ground, the result in front of him shocked him, because according to the records, the opponent actually defeated Horu in the test. Sri Lanka's phantom, and achieved the highest score in this test.

Obviously this is not an achievement that a recruit can achieve. What the opponent relies on is the past experience of the Archangel himself in the illusion, which has now been deeply ingrained into the soul of every Ash Angel.

Since [Echo] can give them such powerful power, is this really a curse? Is this the work of the Lord of Ashes, or is it a blessing from the Archangel himself? And what's the purpose behind this?

When Levin expressed these questions to the instructor in front of him in confusion, the old priest was silent for a long time, and then spoke to the young man in front of him in a serious tone.

"Perhaps the Lord of Ashes has indeed given you more powerful power, but you still need to hone yourself through learning and challenges, so that you can truly control this ability, instead of completely relying on it, otherwise this It will only make you lose your most basic judgment and lead you to take the wrong path in the face of certain temptations.”

"But what is the purpose of our birth? Although we have become powerful angels as we wish, none of us have ever left the monastery for so long. I am confused when the mother group will be able to accept us and give us What’s the proper mission?”

Levin's tone sounded slightly excited, and what he mentioned was the common concern of the entire Ember Angels. They wanted to prove themselves and know the meaning of their birth. Regarding this, that person The Chapter Chaplain simply said three words.

"follow me."

After a while, under the leadership of the other party, Levin came to the prayer hall of the monastery with other members of the battle group who successfully passed the test. These were all members who had not been disturbed by [Echo] in the previous test, and the total number was only fifty. No one arrived.

There they met Mephiston, the chief think tank from the parent regiment. At this time, the other party was standing on the podium, looking seriously at the recruits lining up under the stage.

Not long after, the door of the prayer hall was closed, and the chief think tank on the podium announced such a message.

"Next, I will announce your last test. Based on the results, we will make a final decision on whether to publicly accept the Ashes Angels as official members."

Hearing this, all the recruits present could not help but tighten their nerves, and then looked at each other and said firmly.

"The Alliance of Ashes is summoning an army, and you will be the first descendants of Sanguinius to respond to the call, participate in this expedition planned by the Lord of Ashes, and face the most terrifying force in the galaxy in a real battlefield. enemy."

"All your actions during the entire expedition will be directly subject to the arrangements of the Ashes Alliance. The parent group will only provide you with necessary support. The above is your first mission."
