Chapter 224: Eye of Mara, or...

In Helheim, Guilliman was always in a state of extreme weightlessness. Now he was suddenly vomited out of the Helheim Gate, and it took Guilliman a long time to raise his head again.

The next thing that came into Guilliman's sight was the Emperor sitting on the Golden Throne.

Suddenly seeing the Emperor, Guilliman felt a little complicated, mainly because he was still not sure what had happened during this process.

Especially after Ron discovered that the Ultramarines and their primarchs were all workplace elites, good at guessing their superiors' intentions, and liked to judge the development of things through details and logic, Ron directly imprisoned Guilliman in a temporary park that was separately designated in Helheim.

And now, although the captain and the director of the think tank have realized that Ron may be a fan of the bureaucratic system of Qilu in the ancient mythological era of Holy Land Terra, Ron is right there and can easily see through their thoughts, so they don’t even have time to communicate with their genetic father through Morse code by blinking. They can only watch their old father who has been sleeping for more than 5,000 years stand up from the ground in a daze, then half-kneel in front of the emperor and begin to repent.

But just when Guilliman was still thinking about how he should start to repent and explain to his father about the Second Empire, Roan suddenly walked past him.

Looking up, Guilliman immediately saw Ron taking out a long sword from the suspected warp realm where he had just been imprisoned, and then walked towards the Emperor.

The imperial guards on the side just pretended not to see it...

He subconsciously stood up and tried to stop Roan's behavior, but before Guilliman could make any move, a powerful psychic force blocked him in place. He was a little angry, but soon Guilliman's expression turned into confusion, bewilderment, and then surprise.

Because when he raised his head, this power did not come from anywhere else, but from the... corpse of his father, the Emperor?
"Here, you have to call me the Saint King." Giving Guilliman a "yeah" gesture, Ron placed the flaming sword that could burn the essence of the Warp demons back on the armrest in front of the Emperor, then took out a recliner from Helheim and leaned on it, saying lazily:

"No need to walk in the court, no need to name when praising or bowing, just go to the palace with sword and shoes. All done in one breath~ Next, the prime minister will sleep on the dragon bed~"

"There's no dragon bed, but there is a throne. How about you sit on it for a while?"

Perhaps because Guilliman had successfully awakened, the Emperor was in a much better mood and even had the leisure to joke with Ron - of course, if Ron was willing, the Emperor would not hesitate at all, but would immediately nod and give up his seat.

"Claw." Ron raised his middle finger, and Guilliman, who was standing by, watched Ron communicating psychically with his father, but after a brief silence, he said nothing and pretended not to see or hear anything.

"Come back and find me."

Waldo patted the captain of the first company and the director of the think tank with his power halberd and said, "I will help you delete your memories."

"...Thank you." The captain had never thought that he would feel grateful when faced with the request to have his memory erased...

After that, the Emperor also focused his attention on Guilliman. Thanks to the help of the Ancient One, although the Emperor was imprisoned on the throne and could not move, he accumulated enough psychic energy. These psychic energies could not allow the Emperor to descend directly into reality, but they could be indirectly anchored through the links of the group system-World Tree-Roon-Warhammer 40k.

Thinking about it, the Emperor said: "Child, as you can see, I can no longer leave the Golden Throne. Any unnecessary movement will cause the webway to break. If I am not careful, Terra will become the second Eye of Terror."

"Yes, it's super scary." Ron said, "It is said that there was a god of destruction called Mara in the warp. After the soul of the last tortured and abused human was shattered, he would sing crazy hymns and bring about the final destruction with the rage of revenge in despair. Although this rumor is an unfounded case, it doesn't matter. We can name Terra's Eye of Terror the Eye of Mara in advance, or Mara for short..."

Suddenly, the psychic crown on Ron's head glowed again, and then his entire body became dignified, solemn, noble and great in the eyes of others. Even the criticisms in his mouth were automatically modified into hymns.

Realizing that his nonsense had been corrected, Ron couldn't stand it anymore. He sat up straight and opened his hands to perform Chen Dun·Mother's Separation Technique——

'Your mother is beeping (the sacred curse of Holy Terra)'

It was a pity that it was filtered through the psychic energy of the Emperor of Eternal Magic Card, and when it reached the ears of Guilliman and others, it just turned into a series of passionate preaching and praise.

……

It turns out that this is how my father created his image...

With extremely blasphemous thoughts in his mind, Guilliman immediately shook his head, then looked at the Emperor and said: "Father, about the Second Empire..."

"Don't worry, your idea is correct." Hearing Guilliman's confession, the Emperor's projection in the warp seemed to shake his head. It was not known whether it was an illusion, but in Guilliman's sight, the eyes of his father's mummy, who looked like witchcraft bacon, sitting on the golden throne, even revealed a hint of approval.

"Your will and determination in the face of desperate circumstances are amazing. There is no doubt that you are right. Perhaps this is unacceptable to others in the Empire, but rest assured, Roan has pardoned all of your actions in the Horus Heresy."

"……pardon?"

Hearing this, Guilliman looked at Ron beside him with some confusion.

In fact, not only Guilliman, but also the Captain and the Director of the Think Tank beside him raised their heads curiously.

Because of the Emperor's Wrath Warp Storm, the various star regions of the Empire were once again isolated. That is, the Astronomican still shines, and the Warp Demons are also affected by the same effect, but they can't pass through. Otherwise, given the current situation of the Empire, it will not collapse in an instant, but the rule will definitely be affected by a considerable degree of chaos for a period of time.

In response, Waldo on the side also repeated Ron's decree. After hearing the relevant information, Guilliman couldn't help but pursed his lips, and then said helplessly: "Then why when I woke up..."

"It's for fun~" Ron said nonchalantly while cleaning his nails, "Anyway, all I have to do is bring you back. It doesn't conflict with having fun."

"...Okay." Guilliman said that he accepted this answer. After all, judging from his father's attitude, Roan was obviously not an ordinary citizen of the Empire... But what puzzled Guilliman was why his father was so... easy to talk to?

In Guilliman's impression, his father was definitely not a cruel tyrant, but he was always rational and wise. But now... I don't know if it's an illusion, but Guilliman can feel that his father gives people a warm feeling, instead of the coldness in his impression, as if he is just a tool for him to realize his wishes...

"I am now the remnant of my sensibility." As if seeing Guilliman's doubts, the Emperor said calmly: "I have managed to separate my sensibility and rationality. Although it is not pure, most of my cold rationality remains in the warp and burns as a beacon of the Empire. The reason why I chose to let sensibility descend upon this world... there are many reasons for this, you can slowly understand."

"...I have already made some guesses." After hearing the Emperor's words, Guilliman nodded thoughtfully.

Before, because he didn't know Roan's true identity, Guilliman was still a little confused about what happened in the process. Now that he has more or less come to his senses, with only Roan's title of "Saint King" and the limited information such as the Pope of the State Religion mentioned by Roan before, Guilliman has realized some of the problems that the Empire needs to face.

"Anyway, get ready for the parade."

Ron on the side said: "Inform the empire of your return. Tsk tsk, this is really a headache. I am the Saint King, but the influence I bring is not as good as yours."

After hearing Ron's complaints, Guilliman was not happy, but rather a little solemn.

Although it was just speculation, the premise for Ron to descend from Holy Terra and go all the way to Macragge must be that he had cleared Holy Terra and most of the core star regions of the Empire. He chose to leave only after ensuring that the entire human empire could operate in an orderly and stable manner even without any major leaders.

In this case, whether it is Ron's ability or the Emperor's ability, they should become the model of the Empire's teleportation, just like the former Prime Minister Malcador. But now, Ron said that his reputation is still not as good as his own who just woke up?
This means that the Empire's religious beliefs have reached a pathological level. For others, this may not be a big deal. But for Guilliman, who has watched the human empire gradually open up a new golden age through its own efforts since the beginning of the Great Crusade and deeply believes in the truth of the empire, the shock brought by this information seems a bit beyond the scope.

"It's okay, take your time."

Seeing Guilliman's sudden bitter expression, Ron was also amused:
"It may sound strange to say this, but the empire you're defending is already full of shit. Don't worry about it, just go for it! I guarantee they'll try to hold you back."

"...That was a nightmare." Shaking his head, Guilliman then looked at Ron and said, "But compared to this, should I call you...?"

"Just call me Ron~"

"Yes, Mr. Ron."

I'm not sure about Roan's youth, but from the way Roan and the Emperor get along, Guilliman can more or less feel the respect between the Emperor's words.

This means that the relationship between Ron and the Emperor is definitely not that of a superior and a subordinate - or in other words, his father is not a superior. Although Ron's true identity is unknown, judging from his father's words and state, the reason why he can make sensory consciousness manifest in the material world is more or less directly related to Ron.

This alone is enough for Guilliman to maintain full respect for Roan.

"What are your plans next?"

"You do your thing, and I do mine."

After hearing Guilliman's question, Roan said, "You are responsible for stabilizing the current state of the empire and carrying out a large-scale military expansion. Once everything is ready, I will begin to try to transform the Golden Throne."

"Golden Throne?!" Hearing the key words, Guilliman narrowed his eyes sharply and said, "Can you give more details?"

"Repair the webway." Ron said concisely, "But the Chaos Gods will not watch this happen during this process, so the Empire must make adequate preparations before the plan is officially implemented. Not to mention the reinforcement of Space Marines, do you still remember the Sisters of Silence during the Great Crusade? They disappeared after the Horus Heresy. Find a way to find them, so that the subsequent plan can be implemented much more conveniently."

"Ok."

After hearing what Roan said, Guilliman did not waste any words. After confirming that this was also the will of the Emperor, he nodded, then turned and left the Golden Palace to prepare for the reconstruction of Terra, as well as the restoration and expansion of the Space Marine Legion. However, before that, the first thing to do was to conduct a live parade across the Empire to ensure that the many disturbances caused by Vandir's death were quickly quelled, and to provide sufficient productivity to accelerate the expansion of troops and the construction of fortifications.

Subsequently, the entire human empire began to mobilize rapidly.

Just as Roan and the others had expected, Guilliman's appearance caused a huge sensation in his disappointed thoughts. In the words of the Emperor, when Guilliman appeared on the parade float, the faith of the human empire increased several times in an instant. Guilliman did not need to deal with the remnants of Vandir himself. After seeing Guilliman's parade, the grassroots soldiers and middle-level cadres of the rebel army immediately launched a counter-rebellion.

Although there are certainly opportunists among them, the subsequent review will not let go of any loopholes. At the same time, knowing the awakening of the Primarch Guilliman, a large number of the original chapters and the Holy Chapters began to quickly gather towards Terra after confirming that the intelligence was correct.

Especially those branch groups of the Ultramarines, in order to see their genetic father, they even ignored some small-scale warp storms and forced their way to the holy land of Terra.

The advent of the Son of God has caused an explosive growth in the influence of the state religion, which is undergoing religious reform. In addition, the state religion has been dealing with related rebellions, and the six saints have been reduced from the original two to four, leaving only two positions for saints. This has aroused the fighting spirit of the battle sisters, and their hysterical madness has caused many legion political commissars to severely reprimand them, believing that they are wasting the Emperor's currency.

And in the silent meditation of the Imperial State Religion, Saint Sebastian suddenly received the call of the Emperor.

"To carry out the will of Saint Ron and spread his teachings."

How can the so-called religious reform be limited to the material realm?
