Lucius' tone was filled with fear.
Such emotions have not appeared on his face for tens of thousands of years.
Even if he was killed and dismembered, Lucius was still full of excitement.
Now, there was real fear on his face.
He couldn't sense any joy from the other party.
Only endless sorrow.
Whether it is victory or injury, it is sorrow.
It's like a person who has committed endless crimes but longs for redemption.
"It's time to settle everything, Lucius." The voice of the visitor was very low. Although his face was covered with scars, it could not hide his nobility.
His expression was filled with pain, pain for the blood flowing in his extraordinary body, pain for the boundless sins he had committed.
The one who came was Fulgrim's clone.
Now he gave himself another name, the Redeemer.
He will redeem the terrible crimes that the Phoenicians once committed.
Several Chaos Warriors held up their weapons and guns, hesitating.
I don't know whether I should take action.
The face that was exactly the same as their father's, and the same feeling of oppression, made him waver.
Even though they have joined the camp of the Chaos Evil God, their loyalty to the Gene Origin is still engraved in their bones.
"Father." Lucius was no longer as crazy as usual, but said with a painful expression, "I beg you to stop."
Seeing Fulgrim's clone did not change his ways.
He was almost paralyzed by Fulgrim's clone and was in great pain all over his body, which was why he spoke in such a painful tone.
The other party walked towards me step by step.
Several Chaos Warriors also retreated again and again, and retreated to the side of the fallen Lucius.
"The blood debt of Yin Stefan must be repaid eventually. Do you remember Tarvitz?" Fulgrim's clone walked into the light and whispered to Lucius at the bottom, "The image of Yin Stefan III keeps appearing in my memory. That was the first betrayal of the Emperor. You killed tens of billions of lives, and the psychic screams you caused even surpassed the Emperor's Astronomican."
The planet of Instefan III was the first battle of Horus's purge of the loyalists.
After receiving the blessing of the gods on the planet Davin, Horus reached a cooperation agreement with the Warp creatures.
Horus was responsible for overthrowing the Emperor and becoming the new Lord of the Galaxy, with the gods providing the power behind the scenes.
This agreement is full of lies.
The gods said nothing about the consequences of Horus's power.
The arrogant Horus did not think about why the gods helped him.
He felt frustrated by the Emperor's departure from the Great Crusade.
As soon as he became the Warmaster, he was controlled by the newly established Terra Council.
"I was born with unearthly powers, the potential for greatness imprinted within me, but I owed this to far more than that. I was forged on the iron felt of war, yet all I have worked so hard to achieve over two centuries is to be seized by lesser men who have not shed their blood in the dark corners of the galaxy. Where is the justice in this? My conquests are to be handed over to vile men to rule. What will be my reward when the war is over?"
Horus, who was severely wounded by his former subordinates, once said this to his chronicler.
The arrogance and rebelliousness contained therein are obvious.
He was furious at the Emperor's departure from the Great Crusade, his retreat into the Imperial Palace, and his introduction of the Council of Terra to replace the War Council.
Arrogantly thinking that he is the most suitable successor to the emperor.
How could those damn mortals seize my power!
When he was sent to Davin's temple and saw the so-called truth and future, he betrayed the Emperor without hesitation.
On Instfan III, the four Primarchs, Horus, Angron and Fulgrim, joined forces to purge all loyalists in their respective legions who were loyal to the great cause and the Emperor.
Instefan III was the beginning of the end of the dream of the Great Crusade.
This was the beginning of the fratricide among the Astartes Legion.
The carnival of the gods also began from that moment.
The dream that the Emperor had woven for mankind also slowly shattered from that time until it was burned to ashes.
Tarvitz was the First Captain of the Emperor's Children Legion at the time.
He was one of the loyalists.
He eventually died on the planet Yinstefan III.
In addition, there is the fearless veteran - Ruilanno.
One of the Four Kings Council, Loken, the captain of the Tenth Company.
And another member of the Council of Four Kings, Captain Torgaddon of the Second Company.
and more than a third of the Astartes Brothers of the four legions.
Because of their loyalty to the Emperor, they were targeted for purge.
Lucius was also originally listed as a target for purge.
However, out of jealousy of Tarvitz's support among the loyalists and his inner weakness of wanting to survive, he chose to betray the loyalists who were hit by the virus bomb.
A group of loyalists who fought hard were massacred.
Thanks to the betrayal of Instefan III, Lucius became a high-ranking member of the Emperor's Children.
And in the days that followed, he continued to use his martial arts to murder loyalists.
And he used all sorts of means to torture and humiliate those loyalists who fell into his hands.
At that time, Lucius was very arrogant and thought that his swordsmanship was unparalleled and he was the best under the Primarch.
Until he met Sharokin of the 19th Legion - the Raven Guard.
Lucius was beaten up by Sharokin, leaving symmetrical wounds on both sides of his face and two pierced hearts.
Somehow, he was blessed by the gods.
Even if you die, you can come back to life.
For this reason, Sharokin was unable to kill him completely.
He just lay there as a corpse for a while before being resurrected again.
Lucius took part in many battles during the Horus Heresy.
He even took part in the greatest Battle of Terra, committing countless unimaginable crimes.
During the Siege of Terra, those civilians who did not have time to escape to the Imperial Palace to receive protection from the Emperor and his loyal Primarchs became the targets of abuse by him and many of the Emperor's Children.
They created a brutal feast of massacre and torture.
For example, they would tie weights to the prisoner's legs and make him sit on a sharpened wooden stake.
The heavy object will drag the living person down little by little, and the spikes will pierce the person's body, crushing the intestines and stomach, and then pierce out from the mouth and nose.
The most terrifying thing is that those people were still alive during the whole process.
They would scream all day long, to the amusement of the Emperor's Children.
In addition, they will inject the target with drugs that increase nerve sensitivity and then skin the victim with extremely sophisticated skills to ensure that the victim can live long enough and the screams they make are harsh enough.
All the cruel techniques that humans can think of and those that humans cannot imagine are used to the fullest extent in their hands.
When the Battle of Terra ended, the soldiers who went to clean up were so frightened that they fainted at the sight of the horrors wrought by the Emperor's Children.
Lucius was the leader of these brutal acts.
After the Horus Heresy, Lucius did not calm down, but became even more crazy.
Works of art depicting massacres and terror are being created in different worlds one after another.
The number of people who died at his hands is countless.
Every city he visited was shrouded in endless terror.
Blasphemous and horrific works made of flesh and blood can be found everywhere.
Dead bodies and scraps of flesh filled the sewers of those cities.
Its pungent smell of blood and corpses enveloped the entire planet.
"Those things are in the past, father," Lucius shouted. "You can't punish me for those crimes. You can't do that."
"We all must atone for our past crimes." Fulgrim's clone looked at Lucius and spoke word by word.
The eyes of flesh and blood and the mechanical electronic eyes stared at the Immortal at the same time.
During his meeting with Guilliman, he attempted suicide and lost an eye.
That's why Guilliman gave him a chance.
If he could eliminate the traitors still roaming around, then there would be a chance for his clone to be redeemed.
It is undoubtedly unfair to blame the replica for the original's fault.
However, this was the best ending for him.
Whoever inherits Fulgrim's memories will suffer the pain of the terrible crimes he once committed.
Fulgrim's crimes are unforgivable.
The torture endured by those innocent people who died tragically at the hands of the Emperor's Children is unimaginable, and human language cannot even begin to describe it.
Fear and despair appeared on Lucius' face.
If there was a mirror, he would definitely feel very familiar with it.
This kind of expression often appeared in front of the people he abused in the past.
Bang! Bang!
The sound of bombs exploding was heard.
Those Chaos Warriors could no longer bear the oppression brought by the clones.
They screamed in fear and pulled the trigger of their bolters.
At this time, several Sons of the Emperor carrying the emblem of the God of Chaos rushed out from the corridors on both sides.
They desperately shot at the clones, trying to save Lucius.
Fulgrim's clones moved.
He possesses the same powers as his original body.
Every move he made was filled with extraordinary power.
No one can compete with him.
A Chaos Warrior was knocked flying and struck the hull, causing it to be dented and twisted.
He fought with impeccable perfection.
The dozen or so Chaos Warriors were surrounded and slaughtered by him alone.
Spinning and jumping, it's like the dance of death.
First he chopped off the arm of one traitor, then he chopped off the head of another.
Fulgrim's clone leaped back to avoid a vicious thrust, gracefully kicking the sword out of the attacker's hand.
He crouched slightly and then swung his sword upwards suddenly, scattering the attacker's internal organs all over the ground.
Another group of warriors walked in from behind Fulgrim's clone.
They are the clones' allies.
They are also a group of poor people who once betrayed the Emperor in ignorance, but now yearn for loyalty and honor.
They opened fire as well, pouring their fury upon the traitorous Emperor's Children.
"Father, why are you killing each other like this
Lucius climbed up and shouted desperately.
"We no longer have honor, only redemption." The clone said compassionately: "Chaos will be defeated. Accept this fate."
Lucius wants to stop the clone massacre.
But even he could hardly withstand the blow of a Primarch.
No one knows how that madman Fabius did it.
He replicated the Emperor's greatest masterpieces.
He was knocked back again, smashing into a blasphemous statue.
Two Chaos Warriors were dismembered in front of him, blood and viscera spurting out and scattering on the deck.
In the melee, more and more traitors of the Emperor's Children came from all directions.
Two more Hell Beasts joined the battlefield.
Faced with such a horrific Warp creation, Fulgrim's clone showed no fear.
He was full of fighting spirit and attacked the enemy together with his many companions.
Those companions all abandoned the Empire and realized that Chaos was worse than the Empire.
They longed to return to the empire, but had already been listed as traitors.
All he can do is wander between the empire and chaos until he dies alone.
Some people fell under the explosive attacks of the hell beasts.
The dilapidated armor was directly shattered by the terrible bomb, and the flesh and blood inside also exploded.
But as long as they were still breathing, they kept on shooting until their heads were shot off and exploded into pieces.
There is no honor in their sacrifice.
The Emperor's gaze will no longer be upon them.
Nor shall the double eagle cover their cursed forms.
But they are willing to do it. It is atonement for the past and the only way to bring their tormented souls to rest.
Fulgrim's clone wielded the simple weapon in his hand, killing the Emperor's children.
To redeem the sins of the entity.
To atone for the crimes of the Emperor's Children.
He had to fight with all his might until he collapsed.
The hell beast was pierced by the molten beam, and the cursed soul inside was blown to ashes.
Lucius's end has also come.
The continuous blows left his arms numb.
The clone's final blow caused him to stumble a few steps, and then he fell to his knees.
The magnificent sword was broken into pieces.
His demon whip was also cut off.
The clone cut off Lucius's head.
The headless body fell to the ground, twitching unconsciously.
The bright red and foul-smelling blood gushed out.
The hideous and terrifying head rolled on the ground.
The remaining Emperor's Children were also cut down.
It brought an end to their sinful lives.
The clone stared at Lucius's head, which had his eyes open.
There is no joy in my heart, only sorrow.
There was no honor in fighting like this for him.
Just making up for the terrible sins of the past.
Even if those crimes were not committed by him, but by the original body.
He still suffered.
He turned to look at his other companions, and they had the same expression on their faces.
As redeemers, they no longer rejoice in their victories.
Such a battle is only to make up for past mistakes. How can one have the face to fight for honor for oneself
"May your soul rest in peace." A soldier grabbed the hand of his seriously injured companion and whispered a prayer for him.
They no longer dared to hope to pray to the Emperor and now the Emperor of the Empire.
A soul filled with sin is unworthy to enter that holy resting place.
"I hope she can forgive me." The seriously injured soldier shed tears, "I regret my past ignorance and stupidity."
After leaving these words, the soldier died.
The clone stared at the warrior who had longed for forgiveness until his death.
The sorrow in my heart grew stronger.
They are all destined to meet this end.
Carrying eternal sin, fighting to the death.
"Sir, where should we go now?" A companion walked up to the clone and asked, "Lucius has been killed. Who is our next target?"
