In the dimness, the dome towering into the darkness stared at them, silence and coldness, and only a glimmer of light.

The glimmer came from Lupecar Horus, from the wolf herder, the chirping finch.

For some reason, Riemann Ruth had thoughts of uneasiness and disgust at the birds, and he wanted them to leave his brother.

The wolf king swallowed, he stared cautiously at his brother, he felt a cold in his palm, the golden spear shaft stinging his palm.

After a brief assessment, Ruth naturally sat across from Horus, placing the Bacchus Spear on his side, a place he could reach at any time.

Horus ignored Rus's caution.

[Why are you here, Horus, I remember you should have been near the Extreme Star Field, Baal?] 】

Horus smiled

[Don't you understand, my brother, this is a dream, of course you can go to all kinds of places in your dreams. 】

The wolf king frowned,

[It's not a dream, Horus, I'm real, you're not quite right—what kind of winter have you been through?] 】

Horus pursed his lips and naturally touched the shimmering blue birds under his hands,

[It doesn't matter,]

Horus said,

[Dreams and reality are no different from me, you are not the first person to say this to me, and you will not be the last, my brother. 】

The wolf king let out a faint roar in his throat, and Ruth bared his fangs,

[Okay, so what are you doing here, Marshal?] 】

The wolf king saw it clearly, and the word "battle commander" made Horus pause slightly for a moment.

Horuston paused, he raised his eyes, and looked at his brother sincerely, Russ saw the chaotic colors under Horus's eyes,

【…… I...... I don't know, or I just want to come and see you. 】

Horus turned his head and glanced at the huge alien building behind him,

[It's beautiful, isn't it?] 】

Horus said thoughtlessly,

[Alien technology - maybe the elves, maybe even older. 】

Ruth gritted his teeth, he didn't understand what Horus was trying to express, he spoke,

[I never knew there was such a building on Fenris. 】

Horus turned his head, and he glanced at Ruth,

[This is the ...... Destiny. 】

The commander said,

[Ruth, you are the second original body to be recovered after self. 】

The Wolf King moved his hand to the spear without a trace, and he stared at Horus, he would never forget the moment when he first met Horus, and at that moment, Riemann Ruth saw something beneath the shell of [Horus] - this guy was crazy that he was not the only one who was the whole father.

As the first original body to be recovered by the emperor after Horus, the wolf king is the only one who has truly seen Horus's distorted attitude towards the emperor.

Horus stood there, staring at him grimly, and of course Ruth, with his wolf instincts, could feel it—though it only lasted for a moment.

After him, Horus hid himself well, and he turned himself into a qualified elder brother to share the duties of father.

Ruth felt his mouth dry, and he spoke,

[What does that mean?] We all know what Father thinks of you and me—you are the commander, and I am the sword in his hand. 】

Horus smiled,

[I envy you. 】

Ruth felt that the hair on the back of his neck was exploding, this sentence can be said by anyone, but it can't be Horus,

[What... What do you mean? 】

Horus patiently explained,

He knows that you will not think about his orders, you will only carry out his orders - in this regard, I envy you. 】

The wolf king leaned back slowly, slowly,

[This is not enviable, my brother. 】

He bared his teeth unconsciously and looked like a threatened dog, and now Riemann Ruth felt that it was all a dream—at least Horus, whom he knew, would never say.

The space wolf has always been the emperor's executioner, so how can you envy it?

Horus was silent, he lowered his gaze, crossed his hands, and hesitated in his tone,

[Riemann Russ, I ask you—what would you do if he gave the order for you to kill him?] 】

[My father ordered you to do this?!] Horus?!!! 】

The wolf king slammed to his feet, and without hesitation, he drew the saber at his waist, the tip of which was pressed against Horus's throat,

Horus didn't resist, he even stared at the wolf king with a smile, and slowly raised his hands,

[You repeat what you just said.] 】

The wolf king slurred and said,

What did you just say? 】

[Things are far more complicated than I said,]

Horus said, feeling the chill in his neck,

[But I'm not surprised by your reaction.] 】

The battle marshal smiled, [I swear that I am loyal to him, can I put down my sword now, listen to me?] 】

The wolf king's gaze stared at him deadly, and in an instant, the cold light was put away, and Ruth sat down in silence,

This time he no longer tried to disguise himself as a brainless creature, and Horus smiled and thought that it was only him, only Horus, who saw Rieman Ruth's true face on the day the Wolf King returned.

A man disguised as a wolf.

Horus looked at the Wolf King, his gaze slid over the Bacchus spear beside Ruth's hand...... It was a gift from his father to Ruth...... What a luxury, he gave a spear of truth to a man who pretended to be stupid.

[This is the network,]

Horus tilted his head, and the wolf king's gaze fell on the net behind him,

Our Father's Hope. 】

Horus's tone didn't hear any emotion,

He left the Great Expedition and left us—it was for it. 】

[Alien technology? 】

Ruth asked incredulously, and across from him, Horus smiled, but mockingly,

[Yes, alien technology. 】

Horus whispered nonchalantly, "He wants all of humanity to ascend to some higher psionic race that uses the subspace. 】

Ruth was silent for a moment,

[I support.] 】

The wolf king said simply, "The whole father has his own reason. 】

Horus let out a long, tired sigh, his eyes full of tiredness and worry,

But he was deceived. 】

Do you see that, Ruth? 】

Horus looked up, his gaze seeming to penetrate the layers of the earth's crust and look at Fenris's bright wolf moon,

[Do you see the monster that is about to descend on Fenris?] 】

Horus whispered, his voice muffled and cold, and Ruth was shocked to find that the entire space seemed to be starting to darken.

At this moment, thousands of thoughts crossed the wolf king's mind, and at the same time, Horus's voice still sounded in his ears,

Our Father...... He was deceived, by Machado and "it". 】

The whole alien building began to tremble, as if some great being incompatible with it had approached it, and dark fissures crept up from the corners, like frost that had risen and fallen before the cold of winter,

[Ruth, I have seen a lot, I have experienced a lot—I have experienced the betrayal of my best friend, but I don't blame him, I have experienced the rebellion of my brother, but I know that it was the result of being deceived by the courtiers—but I did see his passing...... Our...... The death of my father. 】

[What?! 】

The floor began to shake, and Ruth felt like he was on the back of a leaping wolf, and he stood up, and the dome began to fall stones.

Strangely enough, Horus still sat there, along with his strange birds, but he began to flicker like an unstable projection,

【…… I can't tolerate it. 】

Horus's eyes were filled with bloody tears,

He himself raised a beast and allowed it to grow up enough to hurt himself - yes, everything here is not friendly to humans, but in this matter we are in solidarity with them. 】

Horus said slowly, and he spread his hands,

[The Torch is extinguished, it's because my father is hiding from it—we need to help him, the monster won't die for a day, and the Torch will never light up again.] 】

The monster tore everything apart with its own hands, the Galaxy, the Empire...... All of this is the backlash of its actions.

He saw with his own eyes the emperor die under the claws of wild beasts.

Horus stood up, he walked over to the panicked Ruth, and slowly but surely, took the hand that Ruth held the Bacchus Spear,

"I am not a fool,"

Horus said, his hand stretched out, sliding down the cold body of the spear, and he felt the sharp tip of the spear,

[I know that the things of subspace are not things to be trusted, they are only a tool, a temporary ally, and their words are both true and false - so I will find out the truth myself. 】

【Bacchus Spear,】

Horus whispered, and Ruth saw that a treacherous light came out of those damned birds, and the flowing light made the wolf king dazed for a moment,

[The wisdom of our Father, the assassin can obtain part of his wisdom, and he has given it to you. 】

Horus lowered his eyes,

[I would like to see if what I have recognized is true, there is nothing more appropriate than the Bacchus Spear, which is his handiwork. 】

[Would he- really be hurt by that monster, or worse.] 】

Horus smiled tiredly, he was derelict as a commander, but he didn't want to be derelict anymore as his heir,

[I didn't hold the empire he gave me, but this time, I won't let him get hurt again.] 】

[O those who have been outcast...... They also needed the monster's head to soothe their souls. 】

A drop of blood flowed from the sharp head of the Dionysian spear.

Ruth let out a roar, and he reached out to grab Horus, whose form had begun to dissipate, but as if he had woken up from a dream, Horus's figure dissipated like a mist, and his hand went straight through the phantom of Horus.

Behind the sharp blue light, a huge sense of powerlessness followed, and the curtain like a foresight hung down, and the wolf king's pupils suddenly dilated, and he felt something familiar-

Magnus's psionic powers.

Magnus !!!! 】

Riemann Ruth let out a roar of rage, and at this moment his hypothesis was confirmed - that slashing psyker was fucking using his goddamn psionic power again!

The familiar smell told the Wolf King that Ruth was 200% sure that Horus's appearance and disappearance had something to do with Magnus.

In a violent tremble, the space was about to collapse, and the wolf king didn't have time to think about what Horus meant just now, he realized that he needed to stop the damned Magnus now!

He didn't understand Horus—but Magnus was indeed the Emperor's mission to him!

Rieman Ruth's priority is to fuck watch the damn Magnus!!

Intuition and the cold wind showed him the way, and without hesitation, the wolf king rushed into the network that had begun to crumble.

Something has descended here, and two forces are clashing here.

The power close to him dragged him away, while the power he was unfamiliar with carried him to his destination.

After a dizzy trance, the Wolf King suddenly found himself standing in the midst of Fenris's raging blizzard.

He smelled the scent of the Scarlet Sinner on the tip of his nose.

Without a moment's hesitation, the wolf king stepped into the blizzard.

The wolf king, desperate to stop the Scarlet Sinners from disappearing into the storm, was like a dream in the face of the fierce impact of the tiny humanoid nature.

But the tip of the spear behind the wolf king was drying up a drop of blood.

All right!
