Chapter 221. The Second Empire? Take my punch!
Many Ultramarines opposed Ron's plan to go to the holy land of the Ultramarines to pay homage to his genetic father. If it were any other time, no matter who the other party was, they would launch a fierce attack without mercy to let them know what a humiliation this behavior represented to the Ultramarines.

But now, they didn't do so, for no other reason than that the great crimes they committed during the Horus Heresy were discovered. In this case, Ron had no problem at least imprisoning them all, not to mention executing them.

And more importantly, wake up their genetic father? What does that mean?
With hesitation and confusion, the Ultramarines' Legion Commander and the Librarian took them to the secret room where Guilliman was sleeping. The magnificent palace was full of Roman colors, and the white marble was painted with gold to show the great achievements of Guilliman and the Emperor fighting side by side. After the Ultramarines of all generations officially completed the genetic modification surgery, they would arrive here as soon as possible to admire the appearance of the Gene Father and swear an oath here to fight for the Five Hundred Worlds and the Empire.

Now, when they came to Guilliman, Ron said to Cawl beside him: "Bring the holy relic warehouse here."

"Okay, but the reliquary is not really finished yet."

Hearing Ron's question, Cawl added as he controlled the Holy Relic Warehouse to land from the Explorer King: "I have invested about four thousand years in the Holy Relic Warehouse, but until now, some core issues have not been properly resolved. According to calculations, it may take another four thousand years for all this to be completely completed."

"It doesn't matter. It's just a medium anyway."

Hearing Roan's nonchalant voice, Cawl nodded. A moment later, an infantry fighting vehicle landed from the Explorer King, and then, under the escort of the Imperial Guards, arrived at Guilliman's palace.

Watching this series of events, the commander of the Extreme Legion beside him was well aware that he was now guilty, but considering that this was directly related to their Gene Father, he couldn't help but ask: "Excuse me, everyone, what exactly is this..."

In response, Ron asked Cole to repeat the order he had received.

After hearing that Guilliman had predicted his own death five thousand years ago and had made many plans in advance, the Legion Commander was amazed at the Primarch's foresight and also felt a little excited.

"You mean, the purpose of coming here this time is to fulfill the promise and awaken our Gene Father, Lord Guilliman?!"

"No, in fact, the relic warehouse has not yet been completed." Kaul said calmly: "But Lord Ron brought us here, there must be a deep meaning that we cannot understand, so we came here."

As he spoke, Cawl activated the Reliquary. As the adjustment was completed, the heavy Reliquary wrapped the platform where Guilliman was sleeping from bottom to top, and then stood up like a throne to include it.

Through the gradually closing gap, people could vaguely see that a huge set of power armor was gradually closing on Guilliman's body. The name of the armor was Destiny. Although it looked like armor, it was equipped with a life support system specially developed by Cawl.

Of course, it was absolutely impossible to save Guilliman at this level. Because Guilliman was injured by the Primarch of the Emperor's Children Legion, a Space Marine who defected to Slaanesh. Because of the poison attached to the sword, Guilliman's injuries could not be healed, and he could only be sent to a stasis position to maintain a half-dead state for a long time.

In the original novel, to revive Guilliman, one must first release the stasis state to allow Guilliman to truly die, then borrow the power of the Eldar Death God to complete the cycle of life and death, and finally load the Armor of Destiny through the Holy Relic Chamber to complete the resurrection.

But now, there is no need at all.

"Emperor."

"Ah."

The voice of the Emperor came from the subspace. After accumulating for a long time, the Emperor did not pause at all and immediately injected all the required energy into the psychic crown above Ron's head.

Along with the surging psychic energy, Ron's eyes began to emit golden psychic aura. After a moment, it turned into golden arcs that flashed in the air. A shadow with a blurred face emerged from behind Ron, and then in sync with Ron's movements, he stretched out his hand and dropped it on Guilliman's head, shedding dots of golden light.

These golden spiritual energies originated from the Emperor, but after being transformed by the Crown of Psychic Energy, they formed the secret energy form that Ron mastered.

The curse of Slaanesh is almost incurable except for death. But the monks from outside are good at chanting, and the form that Ron mastered is exactly the form that does not exist in Slaanesh's cognition - energy from other worlds.

Then, the energy pipeline of the stasis field was cut off, allowing Guilliman to return to the normal flow of time. At the same time, in the holy relic warehouse, Guilliman instinctively let out a gasp of overwhelm, giving people the feeling that he would die at any time. But before he could take a few breaths, he couldn't help but groan.

Flesh and blood proliferated in large quantities, and the original parts turned into rotten meat and splashed out along the gaps of the Fate Armor that had not yet been fully equipped. Just like the Ship of Theseus, Guilliman's body was replaced inch by inch during the mutation process. In the end, except for the soul and brain, the rest of the flesh, organs, and even the neural network had been completely renewed.

During the process, Roan led the general direction of the mutation, while the details were handled by the Emperor's psychic power - Roan did not understand Guilliman's subspace nature, but Guilliman's genetic engineering was completed by the Emperor, so the Emperor was responsible for building a new body to ensure that it was foolproof.

However, this proliferation mutation also represents intense pain, especially when the body is replaced and regenerated without any preparation. Even Guilliman's spirit cannot help but become slightly dazed.

Opening his eyes hesitantly, Guilliman couldn't even control his thoughts. He could only instinctively stretch out his hand to stand up. Unfortunately, his soul and flesh had not yet been matched, and his arms were very weak.

"Primarch Thirteen, Roboute Guilliman. Today, you are discharged from the hospital. But you will soon learn. Recovery also has a price. The hospital will accompany you forever, and this armor is your new ICU."

After completing the declaration in a mysterious manner, Ron didn't care whether the machine soul of the armor of destiny was happy or not. He looked at Guilliman who opened his eyes with a blank face and said:
"Okay, I know you have a lot of doubts in your mind now. But it doesn't matter, we can talk slowly."

Ron held up a finger.

"First, your awakening was not without a price. Second, the Empire..."

Ok? !

Hearing this, even though he hadn't reacted to what was happening, Guilliman still instinctively drove the new nerves to connect with the power armor, raised the Hand of Domination, and punched Roan! Unfortunately, Guilliman's sudden attack didn't really hurt Roan at all. In fact, before he could hit Roan, Valdor blocked it accurately, and then the commander of the Custodians, Esso, held his neck with a power halberd and said coldly: "Stop! Primarch!"

Although Guilliman is the Emperor's gene descendant, the Custodes don't care about that. They are loyal to only one Emperor from beginning to end. As long as it is the Emperor's order, they will not hesitate even if they are asked to kill a Primarch personally.

In response to this, the Ultramarines on the side also immediately became nervous. Even though they were guilty, they still activated the combat status of their weapons. It was not for any other reason, but simply because they could not sit idly by and watch their gene father's life being threatened.

After calming down, Guilliman also looked at the people in front of him. His mind stayed on the battle with the Demon Prince, but even so, as the most thoughtful Primarch, Guilliman still more or less realized what was going on after seeing Cawl, and then immediately stretched out his hand and said: "Stop! Stop! At least let me know what happened!"

"Nothing." Ron said with a smile: "Your father asked me to wake you up and let you deal with some problems."

"...Is that so?" Guilliman hesitantly stood up, but saw that Erso's power halberd remained in front of him until Roan nodded, and then he took it away indifferently. During this process, Erso's eyes remained indifferent, and he was not moved at all by his identity as the Primarch.

On the contrary, Guilliman also sensed a bit of wariness and distrust in Aesop's eyes...

"Okay, let's talk about the Second Empire."

"...Huh?!" Guilliman almost fell down when he heard Roan's words. He reacted quickly and said helplessly: "I just woke up, my body is still a little weak..."

"Don't pretend with me." Ron looked at Guilliman in front of him with a bored look on his face as he performed himself. He then took out the records about the Second Empire from the Macragge Library and said, "We have already searched for all the information about the Second Empire before this, and the records above have been stored in the archives. The more you deny now, the more heretical you become."

"..."

Looking at the book in Ron's hand, Guilliman's expression suddenly turned extremely pale. After a moment of silence, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Well...then at least tell me, who sent you?"

"Of course it's the great Pope Vandiel!" Ron said enthusiastically:

"He is the Emperor's incarnation on earth, the Emperor's eternal chosen one, the Emperor's reincarnation on earth! Are you confused about what the Pope is? Come, come, come, let me tell you."

Ron took out the history of the state religion that he had collected from Vandir's room in the State Church and said:

"Haha! The Imperial Truth has been lost for a long time. Now the state religion believes in the Emperor. Have you seen these white-haired girls? They are the Battle Sisters of the State Church! The name was just changed. A few days ago, they were called the Emperor's Bride. According to the rules of Holy Land Terra, each of them is your stepmother!"

"Oh, yes. The Emperor's Bride is the personal guard of the great Pope Vandiel, and some of their fanatics have even loyally offered their bodies. So when we take you back to the Holy Land of Terra, you'd better call Lord Vandiel dad when you see him."

"...?"

He stood there in a daze, looking at Ron in front of him. Even Guilliman's Primarch's brain couldn't help but malfunction slightly.

After a moment, Guilliman looked at Valdor standing beside him. Guilliman was undoubtedly impressed by this First Guard who had been with his father for many years, and he could trust him completely. Even though he mysteriously disappeared at the end of the Horus Heresy, Guilliman did not think that he would betray his father. Thinking of this, Guilliman could not help but ask:

"Commander Valdo, shouldn't you put a stop to this heresy?!"

In response to this, Waldo shrugged helplessly and said:
"Although it sounds a bit outrageous, it is indeed the truth..."

Hearing this, Guilliman couldn't help but cover his forehead, letting his brain cool down as quickly as possible, and then said: "So, the reason you woke me up and saved me from near death was just to bring me back to Terra and punish me, and let me call a guy I haven't even met father?"

"It's okay if you think so."

As he spoke, Ron took out an aloe vera drink mixed with salted fish juice and said, "Come on, let's drink this first. This is the stock that Lord Vandiel has been storing for several days to celebrate your awakening. Although it has been slightly rotten and spoiled during the transportation, it should be fine considering your physical condition."

Hearing this, Guilliman's face darkened, and he stared at the sticky liquid for a while. After a while, he raised his eyebrows hesitantly and said, "This... although it smells strange, isn't it just salted fish juice and some plant juice?"

"...How did you figure it out?"

Ron was shocked that Guilliman didn't fall for it.

In response, Guilliman said somewhat speechlessly: "The transformation surgery of Space Marines will specifically increase the sense of smell and taste organs to enhance analytical capabilities. Although I am not sure what kind of plant this is, it does not have the smell characteristics of that kind of thing... This should be the basic quality of a Space Marine."

Hearing this, Ron did not speak, but glanced at the captain of the first company of the Ultramarines beside him. In response, the captain's mouth twitched a few times, but he did not say much.

Seeing Guilliman finish the drink in one gulp with a nonchalant look on his face, Ron just said irritably: "Okay, get on the boat and go back to Terra."

After a pause, Ron stroked his chin and said, "The same goes for the Space Marines. Except for the necessary personnel left behind, the rest of you will board the ship together!"
