Chapter 1, The Great Rebellion and New Plans
Opening with the massacre of loyalists on Izawane, the Great Horus Rebellion swept across the galaxy. Son of Horus, World Eater, Thousand Sons, Death Guard, Son of the Emperor, Iron Warrior, Alpha, Midnight Lord, Bearer. Half of the eighteen legions have fallen into the arms of the Chaos Gods, who, led by their respective genetic prototypes, have launched a terrifying rebellion against the Emperor's human empire.
Before the rebellion, Horus used his power as a warlord to transfer loyalists to the edge of the galaxy, and ruthlessly betrayed his cousins who had fought with him in the past. The four legions of Salamanders, Raven Guards, and Iron Hand were devastated, and the original form of the Iron Hand, Ferus Manus, was decapitated by his closest brother, Fogham, who became the first genetic agent to die in the Great Rebellion.
Subsequently, Horus took hundreds of thousands of Chaos Astartes and tens of billions of auxiliaries who defected to Chaos to the heart of the empire and the seat of the emperor, and the Holy Terra launched an attack, and under the barrier of the powerful subspace storm caused by the chaos god, the other loyal legions could not support Terra. Rogdorn, the genetic prototype of the Fist of the Empire, the Emperor's Praetorian Guard, had to defend Terra with an absolutely inferior force, waiting for reinforcements from the Loyalists.
Wave after wave of traitors stormed Terra's defenses,
Eventually, on the bridge of Horus's flagship, Vengeful Spirit, the Emperor and the warlord Horus fought a final battle, Horus inflicted a heavy blow on his father and made him sit on the Golden Throne forever, and he was also shattered by the Emperor's final blow.
Horus failed, he was killed by the Emperor on the Spirit of Vengeance, his legions fell apart, and his allies fled in all directions. He became the biggest and most notorious traitor and evil leader in human history.
Horus succeeded, too, and his rebellion shattered humanity's dreams of conquering the galaxy, and his final blow put the greatest monarch in human history on the Golden Throne and silenced him forever. Horus, the heinous traitor, drove the future of humanity into the abyss of despair.
Obviously, the Emperor's game with the evil gods of subspace has failed. However, the Lord of Mankind has a new plan for this.
Beneath the Palace of Terra lies a building called the Dark Prison, which is closed with a closed door that houses ancient dark relics enclosed in the prison. An entire garrison of Praetorian Shadow Prison Officers guards the area, patrolling the deep corridors with over a hundred men vigilantly, these forbidden sentinels wield ancient weapons to keep anything out of the prison or to prevent the horrible creatures of the dark prison from awakening and endangering humanity.
However, on one day in M41 500 (the 500th year of the 41st millennium, the Great Horus Rebellion took place in the 31st millennium), Trajann Valoris, the marshal of the Praetorian Army, arrived at the gate with a quaint lantern.
"Open the gate for me, brother Borsa Thursk," Trajan said to the keeper of the lock standing in front of the gate.
Thirsk glanced at Trajan's lantern and opened the rune lock for him.
Trajan pushed open the door and walked through the darkness behind him, the lantern in his hand lit up the path with a faint blue glow, even though the superhuman vision of the Praetorian Army did not need it.
Thirsk followed Trajan with a team of Shadow Prison Officers. He believed that the Janissal would never do anything out of the ordinary, but he still needed to follow to prevent accidents.
After walking through the dark corridor for half an hour, the Janissaries stopped in front of a biology laboratory. After a series of tedious verification measures, the safety lock of the biological laboratory is opened.
Trajan turned back to Thirsk and said, "Only you can go in with me, Brother Thirsk." β
Thirsk bowed his head and told the others to stand by outside the lab. The two then entered the laboratory together.
The lab was quite cluttered, with all kinds of materials piled up on the table and covered in a thick layer of dust. The most conspicuous is the closed stasis position in the center of the laboratory. The stasis force field is tightly wrapped in a layer of pure gold, and it is impossible to see what is stored inside.
Trajan walked up to the console, typed in a series of commands, and inserted the lantern into the recess on the console, which seemed to be tailor-made for the lantern.
With a slight vibration, the shell of the static force field slowly opened, revealing what it was hiding in, a body. A progenogen-level body.
Therske was shocked, who would have thought that there was a genetic protogen hidden under Terra's palace?
Trajan saw Thirsk's shock, and he shook his head, "This is just a soulless body, and without the soul of a demigod to match it, it will not be able to exert the strength of the original body." β
"What does He want to do?" Thirsk asked.
"Use this body to resurrect a genetic protogen"
"Who? Ferus or Kiliman? It can't be Cozy Conrad. β
Trajan gave Thirsk a meaningful look and replied, "It's Horus, Horus Lupekar." β
(#οΎΠοΎ)
Resurrect Horus! Resurrect that hateful great traitor and heretic. This is the greatest blasphemy and insult to the empire in 10,000 years.
Thirsk's hand trembling in his grip on the halberd, the Warden of the Shadow Prison had seen countless dark secrets, but he still couldn't accept the resurrection of Horus.
"That lamp, inside is the soul of Horus? Wasn't he shattered by the full force of my lord's blow? What did He want to do? Thirsk had a myriad of questions for Trajan. But as a forbidden army, he remained silent.
"Anyway, let's get started." Trajan saw Thursk's suspicion but ignored it, turning to continue operating the console.
