Chapter 579 Father and Child
"Oh? Do you miss your children so much? They are traitors. They are blasphemers whose souls are infected by Chaos."
"Shut up!" Fulgrim shouted, interrupting Trazyn's words. He gritted his teeth and said word by word, "Release them."
"Okay, okay. This will be interesting."
Trazyn clapped his hands, and the scene in front of everyone became illusory. Amid the buzzing sound, a group of Chaos Space Marines ready for battle suddenly appeared in the room. They were stilled by Trazyn, like lifelike statues. From the rotten and withered marks on their shoulder armor, it can be seen that they are the Emperor's children.
Human skin and various ornaments are just the most plain decorations on their armor. The Chaos pollution of Slaanesh's characteristics is well displayed on them. The Emperor's children without helmets have smooth and round heads. The tender skin is tightened by the nails pierced into the head. The face lacks details. The eyes are like black pearls. Except for a little luster under the reflection of light, there is no pupil. The mouth and ears were replaced by loudspeakers, and a slippery black tongue slid out of the gap.
Lin Fan frowned. He hadn't seen the dark side of Slaanesh for a long time. Although Slaanesh is now trying to restrain her crazy and indulgent side, this kind of polluting corruption will still exist. He raised his hand to stop Chagatai's action and looked at Fulgrim and Trazyn.
Trazyn snapped his fingers, and these Emperor's Children were released from the stasis state.
"Damn spider! You can't do this!" An Emperor's Child cursed, waving a scimitar made of flesh and tendons, and their perception was still at the time of being killed by Trazyn.
The Emperor's Children's eyes without eyelids rotated, receiving all the information. They were confused, nervous, painful, and happy. These emotions were shown from their armor and the various ornaments on it. The corrupt appearance made the Khan pinch the handle of the knife in his hand again and again.
"Children, I'm here." Fulgrim spoke softly, with love and apology for the children in his tone.
The Emperor's Children were attracted by the voice, this gentle voice they had lost for too long, this loneliness from the soul they had endured for too long. The leader of this team of Emperor's Children, Ikenex, looked at Fulgrim with a smile on his face, his throat uttered a hoarse voice of joy, and he knelt down to Fulgrim with a sense of happy awe.
"Father?" Ikenex stretched out his hand, he looked at Fulgrim's perfect figure, and felt that his current image was so filthy and disgusting, "Father. Is it really you? You are back. You are back."
Fulgrim walked towards Ikenex, not disdaining his armor with skin and flesh, "I remember you, Ikenex, I remember you and I were in Byzantium."
"Yes! Yes! Father. I have always followed you, no matter where you go I will follow you, and so will they." Ikenex's eyes that never shed tears spurted blood in trembling because of regret and desire, and other Emperor's Children also followed Fulgrim's footsteps forever in the joy and sorrow of meeting their father again.
Trazyn was recording the video, and he didn't want to miss any details.
Chagatai frowned, he didn't expect Fulgrim to treat the fallen Space Marines like this.
Iverene and Irafren were eating melons nearby.
Only Lin Fan sighed as he watched Fulgrim and the Emperor's Children interact. The Primarchs naturally suppressed the Astartes warriors in terms of strength, and also had an absolute influence on their offspring in their genes.
Look at Perturabo, he is not a good father in general. He is paranoid, irritable, and demanding. He does not allow his offspring to show weakness in anything, and does not allow them to make mistakes in battle.
This harshness caused many Iron Warriors to suffer unnecessary losses. They worked hard under Perturabo's toughness, eager to get Perturabo's recognition and praise.
How Perturabo longed for the praise of the Emperor and other brothers, and how his offspring longed for their father to show them a little tenderness.
After Perturabo took over the legion and issued the order to kill with 11 blows, his descendants also silently completed this cruel task, and understood Perturabo's expectations in the torture of smashing his brothers to death with his fists.
"War is clear, indifferent, ruthless, and blind. I will be as indestructible and unstoppable as steel, and most importantly, indifferent and ruthless. I will become what Perturabo wants me to be - a descendant he is proud of, a descendant he will cherish - otherwise I will have nothing."
However, Perturabo's descendants can still see Perturabo's twisted character clearly. After all, they inherited Perturabo's talent for logic. During the rebellion, the Iron Warriors produced the most loyal warriors. When the loyal warriors heard the news that Perturabo was seriously injured or even died, they also sighed: Maybe this is not bad news.
If it were other legions, the influence of the primarch on the descendants would be even greater. For example, Angron's World Eaters, this group of warriors who were desperately seeking their father's approval, were branded with the Butcher's Nails for Angron, so that he could feel his father's pain and make him feel better.
But Angron didn't care about that. His sanity had long been torn to pieces by the pain brought by the Butcher's Nails. He was suffering all the time. Every breath he took and every heartbeat would drag him deeper into the madness of losing his sanity.
Even so, the World Eaters did not give up their father. After Angron ascended to the devil, his material form became extremely unstable, and a lot of slaughter and blood were needed to solidify his body, otherwise he would be rejected by the world and sent into the warp. In order to keep Angron in reality, his descendants constantly searched for densely populated imperial worlds to slaughter.
Primarchs who were not very friendly to their descendants could make the warriors die willingly. It goes without saying how powerful the attraction of those Primarchs who were friendly to their descendants and even knelt down and made promises to their descendants was.
Fulgrim was one of them, and the corruption of his legion was inseparable from his corruption. Those rebellious Emperor's children may not be against the Emperor and the Empire, nor to show their faith to the evil gods, but more to hope that they can stay with their father, just like Ikenex said: No matter where you go, we will always follow you.
The Emperor was too far away and great to be approached, but the Primarch was always in contact with the Legion. This contradiction between loyalty to the Emperor and loyalty to the Primarch became one of the reasons for betrayal.
There are many people in Warhammer who do whatever it takes but their goals are pretty good. Fabius is one of them (but he may be crazy, who knows)
