Warhammer 40k: Collector of Terra

Chapter 10 Living Saint Celestine
"Such pure rage deserves to be rewarded." The Lord of Brass sent the blessing of fury to the angry Primarch.

This blessing does not contain any pollution from the subspace. It will only make the original body stronger, strong enough to easily kill the chaos eggs in front of you!

But as mentioned before, all gifts from subspace have already been secretly marked with a price.

What the Lord of the Skull wants is to use this blessing to arouse the Primarch's thirst for power.And once you have the desire, everything else will fall into place.

Sitting on the brass throne, the Lord of Skulls will use all methods to make the Primarch lose himself in the endless power!Waiting for Gawain's final outcome, he will only embrace Chaos and become the Daemon Prince of Khorne.

For the precarious empire, it would be an extremely desperate future!

The Lord of Skulls' harsh laughter echoed through the Warp, and Khorne seemed to have seen Gawain's future as he surrendered under the Brazen Throne.

But just before the power from the Brass Throne was about to contact the Primarch, a cold and magnificent golden light prevented the arrival of Khorne's blessing.

The moment this light appeared, the entire High Heaven felt the anger of the Lord of Brass.

"The Cursed!!!" The Lord of Brass roared the unknown name crazily.

[The Cursed], this is the contemptuous name given to the Emperor by the Chaos Gods!The Emperor could have ascended to godhood in the warp, but instead he chose to be imprisoned on the Golden Throne forever for the sake of the Empire and humanity.

For the Emperor, the Golden Throne is not a blessing, but an eternal curse!
The appearance of the Lord of Mankind disrupted all Khorne's plans. No matter how powerful Khorne was, he could not corrupt a Primarch in front of the Lord of Mankind.

……

At the same time, in the physical universe, on the battlefield of Purgatory Planet.

The Sons of the Fire Dragon who followed the Primarch were gone, but their sacrifices were not entirely meaningless.

The sacrifices of the Sons of the Fire Dragon bought enough time for the original body. Relying on the strong recovery power, the hideous wound on the original body's shoulder has scabbed.

The restored Primarch rejoined the battlefield, but the Goddess of Victory still did not smile at the heroic Imperial warriors.

For loyalists, if there is no way to break through the defense of the Chaos Egg, then even with the joining of the original body, they will inevitably fail.

The situation seemed to be desperate.

But at this moment, a few bright lights suddenly flashed at the end of the distant sky!With a harsh whistling sound, several golden orbital drop pods landed heavily in front of the Chaos Egg.

The Imperial Guards wearing golden power armor walked out of the airborne pod. As soon as they joined the battlefield, the Imperial Guards launched a ferocious attack on this abominable monster.

The bolt gun installed on the top of the guard's spear made a deafening roar. Driven by high-energy gunpowder, mass bombs carrying terrifying kinetic energy were shot out of the muzzle.

Unlike the bolters in the hands of the Astartes, the weapons used by the Custodes Legion are significantly more advanced and more powerful.

The mass bomb engraved with the mark of purity drew a beautiful arc in the air. With the dull sound of the bullet entering the flesh, the Chaos Egg instantly had more than a dozen fist-sized wounds on its body.

The flesh and blood on the Chaos Egg's body squirmed in an attempt to repair the injury, but the mass bomb embedded deeply in the flesh suddenly released a burst of terrifying heat.A disgusting burnt smell emanated from the monster, and the Chaos Egg's self-repair process was interrupted.

For loyalists, this is an impeccable time!

"In the name of the great Emperor, I grant you eternal death!" Valerian, Captain of the Guards Guards, raised the guard's spear high, "Golden Legion, charge with me!!!"

A dozen Imperial Guardsmen shouted the name of the Emperor and charged towards the Chaos Egg like a raging golden torrent.

The charge of the Golden Legion is far more terrifying than the advance of the Astartes!
The charge of just a dozen Forbidden Army soldiers was as suffocating as if they were facing thousands of troops.

Facing the menacing Golden Army, the flesh and blood on the Chaos Egg squirmed, and the disgusting bloody whip started to wave again!But this time, the Chaos Egg's attack failed to be effective against the Imperial Guards.

The glorious Imperial Guards held high their finely crafted chainswords branded with the double-headed eagle emblem, and chopped into pieces the incoming whip like the undefeated golden god of war!
Amidst the harsh neighing of the Chaos Egg, the Imperial Guards pierced the monster's body with their weapons without hesitation.

The finely crafted chainsword used by the Imperial Army easily penetrated the Chaos Egg's defense. The golden finely crafted weapon penetrated deeply into the monster's flesh, causing great damage to this abominable monster.

But the battle didn't end there.

The blessing of the Brass Throne not only gives the Chaos Egg great power, but also gives it extremely terrifying resilience.

The Imperial Guards used their powerful strength and weapons to temporarily suppress the Chaos Egg, but due to its strong recovery ability, the warriors were never able to truly kill the monster.

At this moment, the dim sky of Purgatory Star was enveloped by a burst of golden light.

Accompanied by a puff of smoke-like hymns, a female warrior in golden armor waved her wings and landed on this tragic battlefield like an angel descending.

The gentle and healing golden light fell, and the wounds and fatigue on the warriors were instantly wiped away.

With a face that could make a mortal intoxicated, wings like feathers of light, and the iconic [Blade of Zeal], the identity of the visitor is already revealed.

The living saint of the Emperor—Saint Celestine!

Celestine, who arrived on the battlefield, did not join the battlefield immediately. This prestigious living saint held a long bronze box in his hands, and his beautiful face was full of piety.

"Your Majesty the God-Emperor! After thousands of years, the Empire finally welcomes the return of a son of the Emperor." Celestine knelt down on one knee and offered his loyalty to the Primarch.

As the emperor's living saint, Celestine has a very important mission during this trip!Not only Celestine, but also the Golden Army who came before also came for this mission.

And this mission, which is enough to affect the future of the empire, is related to the long box that Celestine and the Forbidden Army escorted all the way.

"This is a gift prepared by the God Emperor for your return." The Living Saint held the long box in front of the original body. "It is a gift from the God Emperor, but it also represents endless responsibilities!"

The moment the original body's palm touched the long box, the precision machinery hidden inside the long box started automatically.Accompanied by a pleasant sound, the long box opened.
