Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

The inner world of the Invincible.

In the upper laboratory of the research center...

Let me go! You weird guy! Let me go!

An angry roar with a thick nasal cavity sounded.

The source of the roar was Mortarion who had been forcibly removed from his power armor and bound to the operating table by a physical beam of light.

And the person scolded by this most smelly Primarch is a plague doctor wearing a bird's beak mask, a black hooded coat, and a white coat over the coat.

Oh, child... Hearing the roar, the plague doctor glanced at Mortarion, then shook his head seemingly helplessly, and raised his left hand to touch Mortarion's skin that was still sore and pus. Said in a sarcasm tone: Can you be quiet, you are also my old patient, why are you always disobedient, do you want me to use some small tricks?

... Hearing this, Mortarion suddenly fell silent.

He admitted that he was cowardly.

Since being captured, Mortarion has been treated extremely inhumanly by the plague doctor...

However, he doesn't look like a human anymore, and what makes he extremely incomprehensible is, who is this doctor in front of him? ?

Even if the spiritual energy is suppressed and the body is restrained, the body should not be slaughtered or ravaged as much as it wants, but these are not a problem in front of the plague doctor.

The four gray knights standing in the laboratory in charge of vigilance felt sorry for Mortarion in their hearts, because today is the last experiment of the plague doctor, and after the end, the fallen primarch will be subject to their The mentor (Artemis)'s trial is about to be shot and purified by the full moon bow.

at the same time.

When the plague doctor was carrying out experiments with great interest, and was even planning to carry out a craniotomy against Fulgrim who had been reduced to a snake stick...

The underground cage area of ​​the research center.

There are tens of thousands of Chaos Astartes of different rebel legions imprisoned here, as well as Fulgrim, whose body was seized by demons, and Fulgrim, who led the entire uncorrupted Night Lords Legion, refused to believe in Chaos, and voluntarily surrendered. Conrad Coates.

At this moment, the Primarch, known as the Midnight Ghost, is in a special cell with a shielded position.

Curz also took off his power armor, exposing the muscular figure that the original body should have, as well as his unique fair skin. He sat on a special metal chair, his wrists and ankles were bound by solid light beams.

Just looking at the treatment, Koz is the most comfortable among all the traitorous primarchs. He will not suffer from the pain of broken legs and arms, but he has to accept the medical examination and experiment of the plague doctor. Regarding this, it has only been 48 hours since he arrived on the Never Fallen Koz was very cooperative, and he didn't have any intention of resistance or violence throughout the whole process.

The only thing that is not normal is that the bloodshot eyes of Koz seem to have increased a lot, and his mental state is getting worse and worse. He talks to himself more and more, always muttering something in a low voice.

Also in the cell, there were four black-gold and white-tasseled guards standing at the four corners of the cell, holding thunder halberds, and Corax, who was always ready to stretch out bloody claws, was vigilant, and...

Wearing black gold armor, unfolding his helmet and keeping a smile, with his hands behind his back, Sui Bian walked into the cell through the newly opened gate.

You... At this time, Konrad Koz, whose mental state was on the verge of collapse due to unknown reasons, the moment he saw Sui Bian, his bloodshot eyes became even more reddened, and his slightly stable mood also became quite excited...

It was as if he had endured great pain and suddenly released these suppressed emotions.

But soon, Koz forced him to regain his composure, and when he saw Sui Bian who had already walked in front of him, he said respectfully: As I predicted, you are indeed a respectable lord of mankind. , and I have preserved my legion and my people as predicted...

Now, all I want is to complete the redemption.

Oh?

Hearing Coz's incomprehensible words, Sui Bian uttered doubts, and his psychic perception told him that the midnight ghost's mind was extremely disordered, but there was really no trace of chaotic power in his body, so he became more interested and asked :

Foresight, preservation and redemption, well, so you have seen today's scene, but I want to know what you did for what? And, if I'm not wrong, the redemption you expected ...is death, yes.

...

Hearing this, Koz stared closely at Sui Bian, then looked down with bloodshot eyes, nodded slightly, and continued: That's right, it's death. The salvation I want is death in the true sense. As for what I foresee...

Next, Curz told his what he saw and the whole story of his rebellion more than two hundred and sixty years ago, almost without reservation.

At the beginning, he and all his brothers followed the instructions of the human emperor and carried out the Great Crusade in an orderly manner, and he also led the midnight lords to exercise absolute rule over the occupied planets and galaxies in accordance with the justice he insisted on, ensuring that no more Crime, Corruption, Fraud, and more.

It’s just that this kind of absolute rule will greatly slow down the expedition efficiency of the Midnight Lords. After all, every galaxy and colony needs corresponding Midnight Lords and mortal soldiers to maintain it. On par.

But the human emperor of Universe 03 did not reprimand Konrad Koz and the Night Lords like warning and punishing Lorgar Aurelion and the Word Bearers Legion, just like the emperor acquiesced.

Therefore, the Word Bearers and the Night Lords have not dealt with it much since then, but compared to a group of crazy Night Lords, the Word Bearers hate the Ultramarines who destroyed their perfect city.

And when Coz and his legion are about to occupy the entire dark star sector, the picture about the future that emerges in his mind is becoming more and more clear...

It was the dark future where the Empire fell into civil war due to Horus, and the Emperor was finally placed on the Golden Throne by traitors.

What made Curz collapse the most was that he was actually among the ranks of the rebellion.

Knowing this made Koz, who was already withdrawn, even more extreme. He didn't understand why he rebelled, but when Horus established a new human empire, the vision was blurred again.

Fortunately, Koz in Universe 03, foreseeing the rebellion scene, would have doubts, hostility and defensiveness towards all the Primarch brothers, so he made a decisive decision and ordered the legion to continue the expedition. Negotiate with the emperor's father who was just starting to do research.

And when he told all about the dark future, the emperor's father was not as angry and surprised as he imagined, but was very calm, and even his facial muscles did not change, and he kept a constant expression. Looks aloof.

For a moment, Konrad Koz almost collapsed, because he didn't expect his father to not care? Or is the father going to take this opportunity to wait until the end of the expedition, and directly eliminate their Primarch and Astartes? ?

Fortunately, the Emperor of Universe 03, a rare person who didn't do a riddle, noticed that Curtz's state was wrong, and immediately gave an explanation, saying that he knew from the beginning to the end that half of the Primarchs and Legions would rebel, and he also understood...

In the end, he will be on the golden throne, becoming a living corpse for the traitors to squeeze out the final use value.

And the emperor of Universe 03 specifically told Curtz to choose to rebel as foreseen, but he must keep his heart, implement the extreme justice that Curtz insisted on, and wait patiently for another Lord of Humanity to appear.

Curz was puzzled after learning such information, but he still chose to act according to his father's entrustment.

This is why when Horus rebelled and brutally slaughtered his former brothers and comrades-in-arms, although Koz and the Midnight Lord also openly supported and participated, they have always been able to avoid confrontation with the loyalists, as much as possible. Usually, they provide logistical supplies to assist the rebels.

Horus had objections to Koz's multiple choices to release water, but considering that he could have more combat power, it was better than creating a new enemy.

What's more, Horus' understanding of Kotz is that madness returns to madness, but there may be a trace of emotion in his heart, and he can't bear to take action against his former brothers and nephews.

Coupled with the establishment of the New Human Empire, Koz once again showed an appearance of being addicted to his own world, only thinking about implementing the justice in his heart and building the Dark Sector into an ideal appearance.

Within a hundred years of the founding of the New Human Empire, the colonies, forge worlds, and hive worlds in the Dark Sector were back on track, and soon became the top priority of the entire empire.

Most importantly, in addition to refusing to believe in the Chaos Gods and spreading the New Empire Truth written by Lorgar, Curz also showed an attitude of obeying orders and accepting all policies, which made Horus temporarily treat He let his guard down.

However, during this period, Koz was tortured mentally.

Although he followed his father's will and chose to rebel as foreseen, when he saw his brothers killing each other, and saw his seriously injured father being placed on the golden throne by Horus, Lorgar and Angron himself When it is time to fight, it is necessary to show a joyful face of winning the war and overthrowing the tyranny of the tyrant.

For the next two hundred and forty years, Curz basically lost his sleep instinct, because once he closed his eyes, he would see the picture of his brother dying tragically and his father reduced to a living corpse.

That's why Koz devoted himself to the construction of the Dark Sector, which also made the Night Lords have to hate and loathe the gods of chaos, while maintaining the human heart and essence, and at the same time, bring fairness and justice to the colonies and worlds under his command as much as possible. , and even asked the midnight lord not to kill innocent people indiscriminately, but when he encountered crimes, he had to use the most extreme means to punish him.

The sleepless work, supervision and inspections kept Koz on the verge of collapse, but in order to fulfill his father's instructions, he had to grit his teeth and persevere.

Until two years ago, the overworked Koz was really tired and needed a good rest to relieve stress.

It was also during that nap that Koz foresaw the future again, he saw that the vortex space gate would be calculated by the evil gods and demons to link the zero three universe with the main universe, and then he another universe Brothers of the same body, will set things right with another human lord.

After foreseeing this, Curz, who was lying on the desk, suddenly woke up.

Although he only squinted for less than half an hour, Curz's mental state has eased a lot. After all, he finally has a target to wait for, and he no longer needs to be aimless like before.

As a result, Koz put more energy into management, construction and maintenance, until the arrival of the main space expeditionary force, and then handed over the dark star area that still retains the complete system, and the people don't know the different space and the gods of chaos, so that The main universe expeditionary force has a foothold in an instant. In the future, the main universe can also rely on the dark star sector to quickly gain a foothold in the zero three universe.

...

After listening to what Koz said, Sui Bian put away his signature smile, frowned slightly, and fell into a moment of deep thought.

It turns out that the human emperor knew of his existence a long time ago? Sui Bian felt a little unbelievable, but it was reasonable, mainly because the zero-three universe was far from the Warhammer 30, 40k he knew.

Besides, since the evil god of different spaces can see into the multiverse, who said the emperor can't? You must know that this famous lord of mankind has done various white ticket incidents from different dimensions.

So no matter how many abnormal actions the human emperor made, Sui Bian would think it was normal.

Silence a little.

Well, I understand. Sui Bian nodded to Koz, who was ready to die calmly, but changed the subject: But I can't give you the salvation you want, no, I should refuse to give it.

why?!

Coz was puzzled. After all, what this midnight ghost wants is to obtain true tranquility after fulfilling his father's entrustment...

I just want to get rid of the scene of witnessing the tragic death of my brother and the death of my father as soon as I close my eyes. He really needs a good rest, preferably a long sleep. He is really tired.

Because you shouldn't be reduced to this, go to sleep first, child. As Sui Bian said, a faint golden light flickered in his pupils.

What do you mean... um... Before he could finish his question, Coz rolled his eyes up, then tilted his head down, his eyelids closed and fell into a deep sleep instantly.

Father. Looking at the scene in front of him, Corax couldn't help but say, You want to use him for some kind of experiment?

That's right. Sui Bian didn't deny it, and turned his head slightly to look at his fair-faced, equally handsome sixth son, and explained with a smile on his face again:

This child can be saved both in soul and body. Moreover, I really want the plague doctor to use the G gland to conduct some experiments on him so that he can prepare for it after the expedition is over.

But there is one thing that Sui Bian didn't tell the six sons, that is, there seems to be some kind of connection between him and the human emperor.

Understood. Corax nodded without paying attention.
