Russ, who has excellent eyesight, also discovered nearly 10,000 "brothers" among these "Astartes" equipped with extremely old-fashioned ceramic armor, because the opponents were equipped with Mjolnir Mark II, III, and
Or ceramic armor specifically for reserve forces.
!
Seeing this, Russ still didn't understand that the hundreds of thousands of "Astartes" standing on the edge of the island had already died in various conflicts, wars and civil wars between the main universe and Zero-3 universe.
In this way…
Couldn't the coordinates given by the father be the sea of souls that still belong to the pure zone in the different space?
Russ guessed that not only the lost Astartes, but all the heroic souls in the long history of mankind should be gathered on that island.
"Sir!"
At this moment, a civilian in charge of communications suddenly reported: "It is a communication invitation from His Majesty, and it requires you, sir, and the other eight original bodies to conduct a private holographic meeting."
"Okay, I understand. Let the fleet approach the edge of the island and keep a certain distance from the beach where the Astartes souls gather. Don't let your guard down and wait for my instructions later."
"Yes, sir."
"Yes." Russ nodded lightly after giving the instructions, then waved and turned to leave. As he walked, he turned on the transmission device. With a burst of blue light, the five-meter-tall figure disappeared directly.
And at this moment.
The top office in the inner earth world.
The blue light still flashed, and Russ, who had completed the transmission, used his authority to enter the exclusive holographic communication channel.
Soon, his father, who was sitting on the golden throne, and eight other brothers wearing their own powered armors "appeared" in the office.
However, my father was sitting in the main seat behind the desk, while Ruth and his brothers were standing in the center of the office.
"I won't say anything unnecessary." At this time, Sui Bian did not continue to be a "riddler" with his sons, and said bluntly: "You must have guessed that this "Island of Heroes" is the place where the souls of the departed heroes performed...
The sea of sleeping souls.
In view of the characteristics of different spaces, any area is extremely dangerous, and even I can't see many places. Therefore, Yingling Island will be your base to launch a crusade against evil gods and demons and teach them a lesson.
If necessary, I can open the space gate directly on the Island of Heroes and pull you back to the solar system of the main universe.
at last…
Stay vigilant, but don't be too timid. Although you are on the home court of the bastards, it does not mean that you are weaker than those bastards."
As he spoke, Sui Bian turned his attention to Horus, who was equipped with psychic claws, the hammer of Mjolnir on his waist, and the war hammer of the Worldbreaker on his back, and said with a smile:
"Ten Earth years ago, Horus single-handedly fought against Slaanesh and Tzeentch in the dark dimension, two of the two most fond of getting together and collaborating.
Not to mention, you are now nine brothers, and I am watching over you from the throne, protecting you...
What's there to be afraid of?
If you show off the momentum of A-1999, every time you go to a different space, you feel like you are going home. Only then can you intimidate the bastards, understand?"
At the end of the sentence, Sui Bian's voice gradually rose.
The void whales he was responsible for escorting just now were one of the many pets he "raised" in different spaces.
The Isle of Heroes was also a "paradise" created by him after he inherited all the spiritual powers of the Zero Three Emperors and the warriors and heroes who died in battles in the main universe and the multiverse in different spaces. It is also the closest place to the soul.
The sea is what it should be.
As for Ares, Achilles, Hercules, and other heroic souls who have descended into the physical universe, although they are not human beings in the true sense, they were all creatures born from the earth.
Especially since these heroic souls are still in history and have made outstanding contributions to mankind, Sui Bian made an exception and dragged "them" to the Island of Heroes to receive the blessing of pure spiritual energy.
And the nine original bodies, including Russ, all just spoke, and the last worries in their hearts disappeared immediately, and they responded in unison:
"Yes, please don't worry, father."
"Okay, then let's go hunting and I won't disturb you anymore."
After Sui Bian finished speaking, he directly dissipated the holographic screen, leaving only the nine original bodies who remained silent in the top-floor office.
As a war commander, Russ was not too polite. After all, the highest-ranking primarchs were all "blood" brothers who had grown up eating, drinking, and playing with him. As for the other brothers...
Of course, I also wanted to give more face, so I spoke first and assigned tasks directly:
"Corax, Conrad, your two legions are good at guerrillas and stealth, so please use the Isle of Heroes as the center and secretly explore the nearby demon planets. If there are valuable targets, especially evil gods or demons under the evil gods, please
Report as soon as possible."
“…”
Neither of the two primarchs liked communicating very much, so they both nodded in response and said nothing more.
"Magnus, Horus, and Fulgrim, the three of you will lead your elites to explore the Isle of Spirits. At the same time, don't forget to choose a suitable place to station."
"good."
The three most powerful originals all responded in unison.
"Perturabo, after Magnus and the others select a suitable location, you Iron Warriors will cooperate with the accompanying engineering department to build a fortress that can perfectly adapt to and perfectly resist the alien space environment.
Mortarion, you and your Twilight Raiders are responsible for assisting the Iron Warriors and responsible for the early defense of the fortress."
"Um."
Perturabo nodded with a very "bad face", not sure if he was really unhappy or if this was just the way the original body was.
"no problem."
Because Mortarion was gifted a batch of Terminator armors, he readily accepted the offer without any complaints.
"Davaric, Fulgrim, your Sickles and Sons of Man, work with me and the Space Wolves to ensure the safety of the Expeditionary Force fleet, while also considering whether each department needs support.
We also need to go to the Isle of Heroes in person and make contact with the brothers who have passed away and are waiting below."
The Children of Man are actually the continuation of the un-rebellious Emperor's Children in Universe 03.
"That's right." Ruth said, then looked at Conrad and reminded:
"Our Gangnir is stationed on this side of the fleet. You also need a forward base when performing reconnaissance missions, so let your Bloodwing Bat King move with you. You don't have to stay on this side of the fleet."
"Yeah." Conrad nodded lightly.
A total of two homeworlds participated in this expedition, one of which was the Gungnir, and the second was the Night Lord's Bloodwing Bat King.
Umbrella currently has a total of twenty legions (twenty-one primarchs), but the forging sector that Ferrus is responsible for still provides a home world for each legion within half a century.
This is true even for newly formed legions.
Moreover, Ark 001, 002 and 003 will be delivered to the Ultramarines, Spartans and Dark Angels in turn after completing their respective tasks.
In the next hundred years, all twenty legions will have their own arks.
Of course, as the Primarchs and the father of the Astartes, the Custodes, a direct force of the Emperor of Mankind, will also have Ark 000 and Shield World 000.
"Is there any problem?" Ruth looked around.
"..." All the brothers shook their heads lightly.
"very good!"
Seeing this, Russ clapped his hands fiercely, as if he couldn't wait to tear the devil apart, "In this case, let's proceed as planned!
Especially Corax and Conrad, stealth is stealth, but don't be too cautious, it's best to find a big demon to beat up first!
Hahaha!"
Ruth is full of enthusiasm.
As for the solemnity before entering the different space, it has long been replaced by the excitement now.
As for his eight brothers, after replying "yes" or "ok", the holographic image immediately dissipated.
It seemed that the eight primarchs could not bear it anymore and were waiting for the "information" from Corax and Conrad.

…
In a different space.
Twenty-four hours later.
The Expeditionary Force has established a "Jue Ridge Fortress" on the Isle of Heroes, and the Expeditionary Force has also come into contact with a group of Astartes Heroic Spirits.
However, perhaps because they were forcibly "awakened", or perhaps because at least a hundred or even hundreds of years have passed, the Astartes heroes do not treat these living people very much, let alone talk to them. The most they do is nod or
Just shake your head.
In fact, without the constraints of the physical body and leaving the physical universe, these souls just want to rest, sleep and enjoy real "life".
If they were not the emperor's children (Sui Bian and Zero Three Emperors), they would not want to let go of their freedom and come here to deal with you, a group of people who are enjoying the fruits of victory and still living well in the physical universe.
"Mortal" heroic souls such as Andre and Lin Shunsheng did not receive the call from the human emperor, so they continued to "vacate" at island beaches and hot springs with peace of mind.
and.
During this period, many demons smelled the "smell" of living people, but after discovering that the source of the "smell" was the Isle of Heroes, most of the demons retreated on their own. After all, they had all experienced the burning of pure spiritual energy.
But some guys still don't give up and want to taste and share the food with the living people who dare to come to another dimension.
as a result…
They are all quite "miserable".
Before the expedition fleet and the Astartes heroes could take action, the swarm of void whales wandering near the Isle of Heroes had already devoured those ungrateful demons.
But the various outbreaks on the Island of Heroes also successfully attracted the attention of high-level demons, big demons and evil gods, among which...
It also includes many fallen Astartes who successfully became demons during the reign of Horus Luperkar, who slaughtered and sacrificed countless creatures and aliens.
I don't know how far away from the Isle of Heroes, but it should be the "closer" side of the void. There is a demonic planet with a dazzling light on the surface and countless exquisite buildings, sculptures and works of art.
Zoom in.
At the top of the planet's North Pole, there is a magnificent and solemn palace complex, which is much more luxurious than the palace built by the demon primarch Fulgrim on Cherinos.
The styles are very similar.
There are countless people outside the palace here, their bodies are similar to humans, and their appearance has not changed in any way. They are wearing bright clothes and exquisite accessories, either playing or watching.
In short, this scene where everything seems to be "peaceful and good" is actually inconsistent with the chaos inside the alien space and has nothing to do with it.
As for the palace, there are many Astartes with bodies, all of them swollen to three meters in height, and all of them are very colorful and exquisite.
The most important thing is that each of these Astartes has silver-white hair similar to Fulgrim, their faces are all handsome, and their behavior is full of elegance at all times.
Right in the center of the palace.
In a hall with marble columns standing on both sides.
A "primary body" that was at least five meters tall was lazily reclining on the throne, closing its eyes and concentrating.
On both sides of the hall, there were two rows of "guards" equipped with Terminator armors painted in dark purple and dark gold.
Although these "guards" all wear helmets, judging from the "Astartes" and "residents" outside the palace, their appearance under the helmets must not be much different.
However…
There is a "doctor" or "apothecary" under the throne, but he is incompatible with the primarch and the guards in the hall.
The ceramic steel armor was twisted and twisted, and although it also had long silver-white hair, it could not cure its "Mediterranean" and twisted, crooked face.
In fact, this rather disgraceful existence is none other than Fabius Bayer, the apothecary of the fallen emperor's son.
Its last name is the same as that of a company in the main universe that specializes in producing cockroach poison, and its appearance is as disgusting as cockroaches.
Even before the Emperor's Children rebelled, Fabius had begun conducting all kinds of crazy experiments.
After the rebellion, the methods became more crazy and evil.
Moreover, when the main universe expeditionary force started a confrontation with the New Human Empire, Fabius judged that the New Human Empire was bound to die, so he took its experimental equipment and some of its elite followers and fled to a relatively "safe" place.
The eye of fear.
The next half century…
No, it should be said hundreds of years.
After all, the flow rate of time in a different space is different from that in the physical universe.
It was during these hundreds of years that Fabius, who did not believe in any evil gods but was "funded" by all the evil gods, lived up to expectations and used the Vokan provided by Tzeentch to conduct continuous torture and experiments to obtain data.
Successfully cultivated Astartes unique to Chaos.
Not only that, Fabius also traded this technology with many remnants of the Empire, and then obtained enough materials to gradually improve and expand the Emperor's Children.
The most important thing is that it also cloned the perfect phoenix——
Fulgrim.
Fabius tried his best to do crazy experiments, making the clones and the Emperor's Children look more and more "normal" on the outside, but deep down they had fallen into endless corruption and depravity.
"Uh...ah~!"
Fulgrim, the original clone, had grown taller. He still opened his eyes in a lazy manner, glanced at Fabius in the audience and asked:
"The bastards nearby seem a little excited. Did something happen?"
"yes……!!"
Fabius was about to explain something, but was interrupted because a black figure appeared out of thin air behind the original clone.
"call out!"
Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air, echoing throughout the hall.
