Endurance.
Now.
.
In the slightly empty personal room of the Space Marine, Hades sat on the edge of the bed, holding a mirror in one hand and a round incense burner in the other, staring blankly.
His previous goal had always been to stay in Barbarus and become a Space Marine. Although the process was not quite what he had imagined, the result was the same.
But after becoming a Space Marine, I had more doubts.
Hades thought about it and felt that the key to determining his own behavior and position at the moment might only lie with the Emperor.
What is certain is that it was the Emperor who rescued Mortarion after the battle of Barbarus.
In other words, the Emperor must have seen Hades.
Hades didn't believe his own strange physique, and the Emperor didn't discover anything.
But what was the reason that made him return Hades to the 14th Legion after only treating him
Moreover, Hades touched his left head again, which felt smooth and metallic.
Did the Emperor participate in his own treatment? If he participated, then was the change in Hades's black domain caused by the Emperor
Or was it because Hades was dying that caused his Black Domain to change? Or was it because he was transformed into a Space Marine
No, the more I think about it, the more it seems wrong, and these hypotheses are totally untestable.
Hades had no way to go to the Emperor to ask for answers. He now had no way to get close to the Emperor.
Mortarion probably doesn't know this either. If he knows anything about Hades, he will tell you.
Moreover, Hades thought about it, sometimes thinking too much proves that he is being targeted by Tzeentch!
Hades had tried hard to snatch Mortarion from Nurgle, and he didn't want to be targeted by Tzeentch again.
Forget it, there’s no point in thinking so much, in the end I’ll just have to take it one step at a time.
.
Hades originally wanted to think about how to use his new brain and left eye, but thinking that Mortarion was still waiting for him outside, Hades could not delay for too long, so he stood up and prepared to look for Mortarion.
It wasn't until he stood up that Hades realized he had grown taller! He was now at least 2.6 meters tall!
Not only did Hades grow taller, he now felt as if he was filled with strength all over his body.
The signal of exerting force came from his tight muscles, his two hearts were beating vigorously, blood was flowing rapidly in his blood vessels, his lungs were rising and falling steadily, and his brain was extremely clear at this moment.
Hades has never had such extreme control over his body as he does now.
He felt like jumping high, or doing a sprint or something. He was strong and powerful now. So strong!
After suppressing the urge to punch the wall, Hades threw the mirror on the bed and walked out with the incense burner in his hand.
Gray-green and dark gray are the main colors of this corridor. The undecorated corridor is wide and narrow. The floor is dark gray, the walls are dark green, and beige is dotted on the edges where the walls and floor meet.
Except for some necessary lighting, the corridor was dim as fog, just like the low daylight all year round on Barbaros.
Doors identical to the ones in Hades' room lined this long, narrow corridor.
This should be the Space Marine's personal rest area, Hades thought.
The corridor was empty except for Mortarion.
Mortarion was leaning against the wall of the corridor in a daze, unconsciously playing with a round incense burner.
Seeing Hades coming, Mortarion came to his senses and prepared to take Hades to visit the Endurance.
Hades walked over and handed the censer back to Mortarion.
Although the air was still a bit pungent, he could bear it. Hades thought, he didn't want to become a gas tank.
Mortarion looked at him.
"No need? I can give it to you."
"No, no, if this is the environment in the future, we still have to adapt as soon as possible."
Hades quickly refused. Although he wanted to say something more to persuade Mortarion, he still managed to stop himself.
Respecting other people's hobbies starts with you and me.
"All right."
Mortarion took the censer casually and hung it back on the copper chain around his shoulder.
"Come on, I'll show you the Endurance. It will be our second home from now on."
Hades shrugged. That's right, after becoming a Space Marine, most people have completely broken away from their past.
But Hades will still remember.
"This is the personal lounge for space marines. This floor, as well as the two floors above and below, are all your personal lounges."
"Originally, the rooms should be divided according to the companies. Moreover, the Endurance will not be stationed with all troops. Some companies will be dispersed to other battle flagships."
“But the current legion is still in the running-in period, so the companies are temporarily stationed on the Endurance.
"And the newly added Babarus people have not yet been divided into companies."
"This legion was originally called the Dusk Raiders, but after I took over, I changed the name to Death Guard."
Mortarion smiled.
"In memory of the warriors on Barbarus."
Yes, those brave warriors
Mortarion paused, then said seriously,
"You are my unbreakable blade, you are the Death Guard."
Hades knew this sentence, as Mortarion had said it to the Primarch when he first met the Dusk Raiders.
This sentence is also engraved on the air valve of the battle barge Death Scythe.
After this sentence, there were no more Fourteen Twilight Raiders in the world.
Only the Fourteenth Legion, the Death Guard, remained.
The dull and monotonous footsteps still maintained their original rhythm, echoing in the corridor for a long time.
Mortarion continued to introduce the newly reorganized Death Guard to Hades.
"I divided the Death Guard into seven major companies. Among them, the First, Second, and Seventh Companies are special."
"The Captain of the First Company is the chief commander, currently led by Barasin of Terra."
"The Captain of the Second Company is the Commander, currently led by Theseus of Terra."
"The captain of the Seventh Company is the combat captain, currently led by Garro of Terra."
As if deliberately, Mortarion emphasized the name "Terra" in Barbarus in every sentence.
Hades certainly knew what Mortarion was thinking.
The Fourteenth Legion was like a toy in the hands of Primarch Mortarion. Of course he would throw away those things he didn't like.
Mortarion wants to rejuvenate the legion.
In fact, every legion basically goes through such a process. When their primarch is found, the legion's former glory will be overwhelmed by the grand occasion of the primarch's return.
Not all legions were willing to submit directly to the Primarch who had just been recovered.
Even though there is a genetic connection, these battle-hardened veterans will not give in.
This will of course lead to contradictions.
Hades knew this was bound to happen.
I couldn't find the original English word for Dusk Raider. Also, Dusk Raider has also been translated as Twilight Raider, but I think Twilight Raider is cooler, so I used this translation.
After the Death Guard was integrated by Mortarion, it became an army that valued order and obedience. However, I think there will definitely be conflicts between the old and new legions, because other legions have many descriptions of this aspect, and when betrayed, the description of the loyalists is also the same, which shows that the legion is not a monolithic entity. So I made this description.
Happy reading()
