The Endurance silently left a trail through the void, and meteorites in space were hit by this behemoth and scattered dully.
Horus once again stepped onto this depressing and gloomy ship. The light in the narrow starship was dim, and the moss-green walls and bone-white ground made him feel like he was living in a damp tomb.
Even if you are a chatty person, living on such a ship for a long time, you will eventually be assimilated into a silent dead person by such a ship, right? Horus couldn't help but sigh like this. Everything on the Death Guard was telling you that fresh life was not welcome here.
The bright white light on the armor disappeared, and the screen turned silent black. No one spoke. The two primarchs silently watched the contents recorded in Hades' helmet. The video began with the separation of Hades and Blanca.
This was really... shocking to Horus.
The banner of the Wolf Shepherd God had flown over thousands of battlefields. This favorite of the Emperor had certainly witnessed the heroic stories of countless warriors. Under the shadow of the ever-changing war, miracles and mistakes were equally common.
He had seen his Moon Wolves accomplish impossible tasks time and again, just like scraping deep grooves in rock. Miracles favored the Moon Wolves, and they wrote epics that were impossible in the eyes of other legions.
So Horus understood miracles and believed that miracles could happen to the warriors of the Empire.
But isn’t this too much
Even a miracle has to follow the most basic logic, right
If it weren't for the Primarch's sharp eyes that could ensure that the video had not been manipulated, Horus would really suspect that this video was fabricated by Mortarion to deceive him.
This silent video shows an absolutely impossible miracle. The flesh and blood tentacles that fill the entire sky and earth are roaring ferociously. The densely packed eyes between the tentacles are staring angrily at the subject providing the picture. An attack that is enough to flatten an entire area is descending from the sky. The bloated flesh and blood fills the screen, wantonly releasing malice towards the owner of the helmet.
Even a veteran interstellar soldier who has experienced hundreds of battles would feel unspeakable fear when encountering such a scene, right
Even if there is no fear, you should still feel nauseous and hesitant in that sticky flesh and blood, right
But the tentacles in the picture were getting bigger and bigger, and the owner of the helmet was rushing towards the center without hesitation. If it were not silent, Horus could imagine the rustling sound of the wind breaking as he rushed.
Smooth, this was the first word Horus could think of after seeing Hades moving forward.
It was a smooth movement, and every step seemed to have been rehearsed a thousand times. A storm of flesh and blood arose, but the swifts flying through it were not wetted at all.
Moreover, in Horus's impression, the power armor Hades usually wears is the Hades-type Terminator Armor, right? In order to enhance defense and firepower, the Hades-type Terminator Armor sacrifices a certain degree of flexibility. Even though it is a more flexible type of Terminator Armor, it is still Terminator Armor!
Among the Moon Wolves led by Horus, Abaddon was famous for his ability to flexibly control the Terminator Armor.
The completely impossible evasive movements and the obvious sense of being suspended in the air.
Is this really something a Space Marine can do
Horus glanced at Mortarion at this terrifying operation. Unlike the super high mobility shown in the video just now, Mortarion and the Death Guard gave him a completely opposite feeling. These warriors seemed to enjoy slowing down the war, and then firmly and slowly harvested the increasingly exhausted enemies.
Horus carefully recalled the rare occasion when he met Hades.
But to his regret, he did not pay close attention to the warrior, except that he was tall and strong.
What kind of existence is the Death Guard named Hades
Even the Untouchables would be completely incapable of reaching this level, right
Or does it turn out that the Sisters of Silence aren’t actually the most powerful Untouchables
".So, that's it."
A sighing sound was heard, and seeing that Horus seemed to still be immersed in the video, Mortarion had to speak himself.
"It was indeed Hades who combined with the Death Guard's orbital bombardment to eliminate the enemy."
Horus looked at Mortarion slowly, then nodded seriously. The video had rigorously demonstrated Hades' behavior. Even though Horus found it difficult to believe this rationally, he really couldn't refute Mortarion.
This ruled out his previous speculation that there might be a targeted army within the Death Guard.
Horus was still wondering why a Space Marine was enough to reach this level. In his opinion, unless...
But now he had to deal with Mortarion's doubtful gaze first. The other side had given him enough sincerity, so the Wolf God naturally couldn't ignore it.
"A good fighter, good enough."
"I really envy you, my brother. Your legion has such a powerful warrior. He will be a glory to the legion."
“I am well aware of this.”
"So, he really is an untouchable?"
Mortarion blinked in surprise. The facts were already here, why was Horus asking again
"From what I understand, Hades is an Untouchable."
Horus did not agree with this answer. The wolf god knew that the Untouchables could only resist certain psychic attacks, but this could not explain Hades' performance, which was far superior to that of ordinary people in terms of mobility and strength.
This doesn't make sense.
The black domain cannot be observed by the naked eye, and the video naturally will not convey this subconscious feeling of fear and disgust, so Horus still does not agree with Mortarion's answer.
Can resist certain psychic attacks, strong physical fitness, seemingly impossible miracles.
So, Hades is actually a—
Psychic!
High-level psychics can resist psychic attacks and use psychic power to enhance their physical fitness. Moreover, think tanks who use psychic power are a group that often creates miracles due to subspace fluctuations.
Apart from what level of psyker could stop this kind of psychic alien, and why Mortarion insisted on calling a psyker untouchable, everything else formed a logical closed loop for Horus.
The main reason is that the Primarchs knew that psykers who could explode stars with one hand did exist, but such a powerful Untouchable was completely beyond their cognition.
Thinking of this, Horus looked at Mortarion thoughtfully. Why would his brother engage in such a ridiculous disguise
On the surface, he hates psychics, but the person he actually promotes is a psychic
Mortarion was completely unaware of Horus's strange logic, and the Primarch continued to speak as he had expected.
"My brother, I hope you won't tell anyone about this, including Hades' physique."
Mortarion said calmly that he didn't care whether Hades's physique would be exposed or not, but as long as he brought it up, Horus's mind would be stuck on Hades instead of thinking about other things.
"All the untouchables will be conscripted by the Black Ships, and Hades is my right-hand man in the Death Guard. I sincerely hope that he can stay in the Death Guard."
Mortarion's words made Horus suddenly realize.
Captured by black ships.
So Hades is actually a psychic who may be involved in forbidden knowledge, and Mortarion obviously does not want the Empire to know this.
Horus had also heard that on Mortarion's home planet, psykers were not a very glorious existence.
This brother who has just entered the empire still doesn't quite understand the empire's regulations. Although the empire has many restrictions on the research of psychic witchcraft, in fact many legions are studying psychic powers in private.
Well. His brother was still too cautious. Perhaps Horus could find a way to let Magnus enlighten this brother who was a little paranoid about psychic powers.
Hades is a very good psyker and should not be overshadowed by Mortarion's caution.
"My brother, I will keep this a secret."
Finally, Horus smiled and said to Mortarion.
Seeing that Horus did not pursue the matter any further, Mortarion smiled with satisfaction.
The two people who sold Hades' identity and distorted Hades' identity reached a strange cooperation here.
Hades knew nothing about this and was still trying to play dead in the medical room.
