Warhammer Inquisitor Chapter 184

  Chapter 184 Ruinstorm: The Death of Hope and the Last Word

  The gunshots still echoed in the hall of the temple, but everything here was completely shrouded in the deepest darkness. Vito walked here, walking forward step by step in this dark world.

  There is no light, no shadow, and no sound in the depths of the temple. Everything is shrouded in pure silence, like a dark corner forgotten by the world.

Vito walked in the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers. His eyes scanned around in the ink-like darkness. He shot golden lightning from his palm, and the arc quickly condensed into a small ball on Vito's palm. The small sun, unlike the Emperor's Sun, is that Vito's sun is internally made of lightning.

The electric light illuminates the ground under Vito's feet, but the surrounding area seems to be infinitely wide to the left and right, and infinitely long to the front and back. The light cannot touch any walls at all, as if Vito is walking in a never-ending dark world .

   As he walked, the stone ground under his feet clanked under the trample of the studded iron boots, and the clanging sound echoed farther and farther in the deep darkness.

  But suddenly Vito heard a different sound coming from under his feet. He looked down at the ground, and a pool of water emerged from nowhere and flowed past both sides of Vito's toes.

  Vito looked around at more and more accumulated water, and the water level began to rise gradually below Vito's insteps. Standing in the water, he looked around and subconsciously held down the bolter on his waist.

At the moment when Vito looked around and turned his head, he saw a large whale whose body was composed of endless lights jumping out from the ground. The fins of the whale shining with infinite lights were like a pair of spread wings. The surface of the water fell back to the ground with dripping water droplets, and suddenly a wave rolled and swept towards Vito.

  Vito was submerged by the waves before he had time to react, but in a short moment, the surrounding bubbles and waves began to materialize quickly, and everything around him changed in the blink of an eye.

Vito found himself standing under a scarlet sky. He raised his head and looked at the towering "dilapidated palace". He remembered that it was the palace of the orc emperor on Ullanor. Beauty" blessing.

  He lowered his head and looked at the scene in front of him in surprise. Horus was kneeling in the center of the ruined palace, surrounded by many people in the specially cleared space.

Loken, Torgaton, Eichmander, and Abaddon were all standing around, and with them were all the officers of the Luna Wolf. They stood with the officers of the Blood Angels, Iron Warriors and other legions. Around, staring at the scene on the square with solemn eyes.

The Emperor himself walked into the square. He held a golden olive crown and walked in front of Horus. Vito looked at himself and Valdo, Sanguinius, and Perturabo standing not far behind the Emperor. place.

  At that time, I could be said to be very high-spirited, wearing a gorgeous field marshal battle robe, which was an elaborate gift from Fulgrim.

   "Horus Lupekar, in the name of the human empire and all mankind, I appoint you as the Warmaster." The emperor said solemnly, and the shining sun wheel shone with infinite light behind his head.

"I accept this important task with trepidation, my emperor, and I swear to you that I will always be loyal to you and the empire." Horus said with his head bowed, and the emperor smoothly buckled the golden olive crown on his head , "I believe you will, my son, rise now Warmaster."

   Horus stood up and was held high by the emperor's arm. The surrounding soldiers cheered enthusiastically, and the loud and clear roar echoed throughout the land.

  Amid the cheers, the picture in front of Vito began to blur, and the water curtain and bubbles reappeared, but quickly changed into another scene.

  Vito was in a corridor at the moment, and he immediately recognized that this was the Vengeful Spirit, and in front of him, he saw that he was walking along the corridor with Horus at that time.

"Are you sure it's okay for me to leave?" Vito asked as he walked, Horus laughed and patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm not that weak, Vito, you just respond to Dorne Please go back to Terra to help him rectify his defense."

"I'm just going to suppress the rebellion. I hold a whole army in my hand, and I can easily get rid of two." Horus said with a smile. He and Vito stopped to face each other on the hangar deck at the end of the corridor. , Horus glanced at the Aquila on the deck and looked at Vito with a smile.

   "I'll go to Terra to find you once I go to Devon. We still have a lot of questions to talk to the high lord." "Of course, Horus, I'll wait for you to come and get together again."

  The water curtain and bubbles appear again to blur everything, and reappear after reorganization.

  Vito stood on the magnificent bridge of a warship, and Vito could immediately recognize this was the flagship of the Imperial Fist, the seventh ship of the Queen of Glory class "Eternal Crusade" through the surrounding military flags and decorations

Vito and Dorn are waiting here to receive an envoy. Dorn solemnly stands on the bridge deck and stares at the walking space warrior. The warrior in iron gray MK4 power armor strides towards Dorn and In front of Vito, he immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed his head to pay tribute.

   "Master Dorn, Marshal Vito, I have brought bad news." "Say it, Captain Galo, we are listening." Dorn was short but majestic as always.

   "Warmaster Horus has betrayed the Empire and the Emperor, we beg." "No! This is absolutely impossible!"

  Vito interrupted Galo, he shouted and interrupted everything, Dawn glanced at Vito and then looked at Captain Galo seriously, "Your accusation is very serious, Captain Galo.

"But what I said is true, my lords, if I have even the slightest lie, please execute me immediately!" Jia Luo faced a primarch and the strongest under the emperor without retreating. Psyker, "Warmaster Horus is purging soldiers loyal to the Emperor on Isstvan 3, and they need our help urgently!"

Dawn looked into Galo's eyes, he knew Galo, knew that he was a reliable officer loyal to the emperor, he knew he would not lie, and Vito could see it too, the latter stepped aside and looked at him in disbelief. Looking at the universe outside the window, Sigismund immediately walked to Dawn.

   "Should we notify the Emperor immediately?" "No, it will be too late, the loyalists need immediate support, and we cannot give Horus a chance to respond, we must act immediately."

Dawn looked at Vito, and looked over without the slightest hesitation, "Marshal Vito, according to the principles set by the Emperor himself, when the Warmaster is unable to exercise power, you are all the armed forces of the empire, including all the space warrior legions Supreme Commander including you, only you have the right and qualification to mobilize the still loyal legion to immediately go to Istvan to suppress the rebellion."

  Vito turned his head to look at Dawn, and Sigismund and Galo also looked at him.

"You lead a fleet of space fighters to punish the Warmaster, no matter whether he was your friend or not." Dawn said mercilessly, and Vito sighed after a moment of hesitation tone.

The ground under the feet of Vito who was watching suddenly turned into water. He fell from the water and landed in another place in the blink of an eye. Before he could stand still, he was almost knocked down by the explosion. Start looking at the chaotic space battlefield ahead.

  A tragic fleet battle was taking place at very close range, and the attacked ship was completely unprepared, and he was the same at that time. He watched himself hit the armrest by the explosion shock on the bridge command position.

   "The Marshal, the Word Bearers, the Iron Warriors, the Night Lords, and the Alpha Legion have launched a rebellion! They are attacking the remaining fleet, and the remaining four legions on the ground are under siege!" The siren yelled.

"Lord Feferus is dead! He was killed by Fulgrim, what should we do, my lord?!" The naval officer desperately asked Vito for instructions, but at that time, he had a look of disbelief, panic and fear. Leaning desperately on the armrest.

   "Marshal! Lord Supreme Marshal!" Vito was awakened by another shout, and he immediately got up and leaned on the armrest and looked down, "All the ships that are still loyal are approaching me! Concentrate your firepower and start jumping immediately after breaking out of the encirclement!"

  The naval crew immediately executed the order, and the warships began to quickly turn to the edge of the battlefield, and the loyalist ships that still had combat power also began to turn to break through.

   A voice sounded in Vito's mind, a voice that entered his mind through spiritual transmission, "Vito, my best friend."

Vito recognized the voice, and then showed a surprised expression "Lorgar?" "Yes, we will no longer be ruled by the false emperor, we will kill that false emperor and **** on Terra. "

   "So you are loyal to the Horus rebellion?" Vito asked angrily in his mind, but Lorgar responded calmly to Vito.

"No, I have never been loyal to Horus, my friends join us, I will help you kill Horus, and the remaining brothers will support you, and then you will lead our eight legions to fight against Terra, Save humanity from him and usher in the dawn of a new age."

  With the voice of Lorgar, everything changed again. After the earth-shaking changes, Vito appeared in the palace. In Terra's palace, he looked at the emperor, Sanguinius, Dorne and himself.

"You won't let me go to the Vengeful Spirit together? What the **** are you crazy about!" Vito protested loudly, but the Emperor looked at Vito seriously, "No, I have already given you an order Vito, You have to go to the webway." "Why the **** are you ordering me?!"

"Listen to Vito!" snapped the Emperor, his rage causing a psionic flame to surge through him, "Malcador is buying me time with his life, he won't last long! The rift inside Terra gives the Astronomican function and pushes the sun in the webway!"

  The emperor rebuked Vito angrily, "I order you to go down immediately and help Valdor, the imperial army and the nun of silence guard the webway! Now is not the time for you to lose your temper!"

Vito looked at the emperor and was silent for a moment, then cursed and walked away, the emperor looked at his back and Dawn came up to him and asked in a low voice, "Is there any other reason why you didn't take him with you to fight?" ?"

   "Yes, Dorne, I know he can't be cruel, and when he really faces Horus, he will be soft at the last moment like Rus." The emperor said silently.

   "I don't want him to do that, kill his friends either."

  Now Vito looked at the Emperor, lowered his eyes with a sigh, and then the surrounding scene changed again to the final moment, the moment that he would never forget.

   With only one breath left, the emperor sat slumped on the golden throne. He lowered his head tiredly and looked at Vito in front of him. At that time, he stood in front of him and watched this scene with shock and fear.

   "You old bastard! Come down and I'll do it" "No! Vito, listen to me."

The emperor whispered, looking at Vito's exhaustion, "You are right, you and Malcador have always been right, I am not a good emperor, let alone a good father, I need you to walk instead of me In the galaxy, protect our empire."

The emperor raised his hand slightly, and a group of people appeared behind Vito following the sound of footsteps. They included a silent assassin wearing a skull mask, and a man in black wearing the letter i that Vito had never seen before. There are a few space warriors, they are dressed in gray armor, and their marks are something I have never seen before.

"This is the gift that Malcador left me at the last moment of his life, and now I will give it to you, my brother." He said, speaking the last words with his last strength, like the Baidi City Tuogu Last order.

"I appoint you as the Grand Mentor of the Assassin Court and the Judgment Chamber, and I grant you the authority to bypass the process of the High Lords Council and directly decide to assassinate anyone. If you want, you can dissolve the High Lords Council and make your own decision. "

   "I give you all my powers, and you will exercise all my rights on my behalf. The whole empire will obey your orders. What you say is what I say. I appoint you as the regent of the empire."

"Old bastard! Don't blame me! Stand up for me!" Vito shouted and rushed forward, but was held back by Dorne. The tall golden-armored giant dragged Vito, preventing him from going forward , and the priests of the Mechanicus activated the Golden Throne, and the surging spiritual power was re-ignited, and that would also be the last gap for the emperor to set foot on the eternal watch.

   "Old bastard!" "Goodbye, my one and only... brother."

  He watched the emperor gradually close his eyes. Since then, he has not said a word to his people, and just now that was his last words as an emperor, a friend, and a brother.

   Last words to Vito.
