Holy Terra Imperial Palace Throne Room,
Sanguinius had been here for almost 20 years, yet her appearance remained unchanged. Every day, she waited for news of Li Feng from the Adeptus Custodes and Sisters of Silence who were searching for him.
(Readers may question the timeline; it is not a mistake by the author, but a foreshadowing...)
She could sense that Li Feng was still in a corner of this vast universe, but she couldn't pinpoint his location due to his high-dimensional nature.
The Holy Emperor, the Emperor, and the Empress (Sanguinius) formed a classic trinity, sharing power. However, Sanguinius could not interfere with the Warp for certain special reasons... As for the Grey Knights' 'Edict of Termination,' which states, "The Emperor cannot leave the golden throne in any way, whether by descending personally or by any Warp or reincarnation method." Otherwise, the Grey Knights must stop the Emperor and force him back to the golden throne to fulfill his mission.
Although this was the case, Sanguinius was precisely in the grey area of the 'Edict of Termination,' because the Emperor or the Holy Emperor was indeed still on the golden throne, and Sanguinius, as the feminization of the Emperor, ascended dimensions before the Terra Unification War had begun.
Therefore, the Grey Knights could only determine Sanguinius to be "the Emperor" and "not the Emperor" at the same time, becoming a relationship similar to 'dragon-phoenix twins' – brother and sister or older sister and younger brother.
The originally sacred and solemn Throne Room had long been transformed. Under the command of a girl, the Adeptus Custodes had placed a large number of scaffolding and scientific research facilities here.
At this moment, Sanguinius was using a computer to write code, and all the circuits were connected to a device similar to a car radio... As the code was gradually finalized... Sanguinius took down the radio-like device, then used several electrodes on it to stick to her forehead... "Hello, hello, can you hear me?"
Sanguinius didn't speak, but everything she wanted to say came out of the radio-like device. Sanguinius removed the electrodes, clapped her hands,
"Alright, mission accomplished! This time wasn't wasted!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she looked over to see that the center console and speakers of Li Feng's beloved car had all been removed, the entire car dismantled with only four wheels left, and even the car frame had been reshaped to serve as scaffolding material. Sanguinius had also taken out the M4 chip from her iPad Pro to be the main processing chip for this device.
Because only items from a high-dimensional world would not be corroded by this dimension, Sanguinius had no choice but to dismantle these things... She hoped Li Feng wouldn't be angry... Sanguinius thought this, but then reconsidered: "I bought his car for him! Why would he be angry! I'll just buy another one!"
At this moment, Sanguinius put on rubber gloves and stepped onto the scaffolding, while the Adeptus Custodes below collectively reached out their hands to catch her, in case their mistress fell from the scaffolding.
Because the golden throne's field was too powerful, even the Adeptus Custodes would be annihilated if they entered the field, and only Sanguinius could do this work.
At this moment, Sanguinius came to the side of the Emperor's white skull, then shouted down:
"Hey! Little Kitten! Help me get a hand drill and drill bits from Li Feng's car toolkit. I need to drill a hole in his head to secure this thing."
Hearing his mistress's words, Little Kitten almost fell to the ground. As the Adeptus Custodes Deputy Commander, if it were normal times, he would have chopped into pieces anyone who dared to utter such treasonous words, but now it was "the Emperor" drilling a hole in "his" own head... He couldn't say much, only:
"My Lord, perhaps you could try another method...?"
Sanguinius stood with her hands on her hips, looking down at Little Kitten: "Tell me, how do I attach something to this smooth bone structure? With double-sided tape?... Double-sided tape! Yes! Go get that double-sided tape!"
As Little Kitten tossed the double-sided tape up, Sanguinius caught it directly and began to stick the device onto the Emperor's skull... The Adeptus Custodes below all had grim expressions behind their masks... This... oh this... could she please not use the Holy Emperor's nostrils as attachment points... As the device activated and its lights came on, Sanguinius clapped her hands and said: "Alright, this way you two won't disturb each other when you speak."
At this moment, the Adeptus Custodes collectively held their breath... waiting for the Holy Emperor, who had been on the golden throne for over ten millennia, to speak his first words... As the red light of the device flashed, the speaker emitted sacred words... "Damn it! My back is so itchy... Can someone scratch it for me...?"
...Slaukenberg, Suburbs, Women's Academy
After Yugen called for reinforcements, he dismantled the heavy bolter machine gun from the salamander, then carried the bolter and walked back towards the academy.
No matter what, Yugen would definitely rescue the Commissar and the second lieutenant. Just as Yugen was dragging the heavy machine gun towards the academy,
Several gunshots rang out from inside the academy. Yugen felt a great sense of foreboding and immediately ran towards the academy with the machine gun... Ten minutes earlier,
Caiaphas in the guest room had no idea how he had gotten inside.
It was an elegant boudoir, faintly exuding a intoxicating fragrance. Soft colors, sheer fabrics, and captivating artwork filled the room.
His body sank into the large, soft bed. Touching it, Caiaphas inhaled the pleasant scent, which carried a peculiar, seductive aroma.
"When I sensed you in the woods, I knew you were the one we were looking for."
She whispered. Caiaphas struggled to understand what she was saying, but his mind was a blur.
"Sense?" Caiaphas murmured, trying to break free from the soft, devouring quicksand-like bed.
"I can smell your soul, but I can't smell his... However, I guess Emily has already taken care of him..." She took a breath,
A small voice in Caiaphas's head kept wailing, sounding like Li Feng and Yugen off-key singing a tenor opera, the name of which seemed to be Pavarotti's "La donna è mobile."
"Then why are you here?"
Caiaphas feebly tried to push away the things on him, but his body was so weak.
"For the highest glory, for the greatest reward. Although the main course is in the dining room, you, as a side dish, are not bad for me..."
"Main course? Side dish?"
"It's about to awaken, tonight. But not for you."
And Caiaphas's soul was caught in a net.
Her ethereal voice laughed again, "Surrender, Caiaphas. Slaanesh must have touched your soul. You live only for yourself. You are his, whether you realize it or not."
Caiaphas cried out helplessly in his heart: "Holy Emperor!"
This was the first time Caiaphas had heard the name of the Chaos Forces. Perhaps Caiaphas's past life was selfish and indulgent, and to be honest, it still was, but if there was any quality Caiaphas possessed that surpassed these two, it was the will to escape.
Suddenly, Caiaphas felt a scorching heat, or rather, his pants caught fire... Something in his pocket, like a red-hot branding iron, stung his thigh.
And immediately after, there was a stinging pain in Caiaphas's palm that felt like it was tearing him apart... This pain was like the explosive pain in a drowning person's lungs after reaching shore and gaining a glimmer of hope, as if everything needed to be coughed out... Caiaphas, due to the pain, directly pushed away the constantly swaying woman on him. The girl, who had fallen to the ground, looked at Caiaphas in astonishment.
"You broke free!"
Her expression was like a spoiled child who couldn't get a toy. Now Caiaphas knew she was an enemy. Caiaphas could feel dark tentacles beginning to envelop his consciousness again, but each time they were about to touch him, the thing in his pocket began to burn him.
He drew his laspistol from his belt, picked up his chainsword from the ground, and then, disheveled, rushed towards the girl opposite him... "Sorry, I prefer blondes."
