Chapter 141: Different Directions
The exchange between the two genetic protogens soon ended.
Elaine immediately left the command center with Karn after dealing with Luojia's affairs, preparing to deal with the affairs of the Iron Man Tower - although Karn was catching up with Angeltay at the time, it was clear that there was no duel pit in this temporary camp for them to 'catch up', and they only talked a little about the current situation and trivial matters of the Legion.
In the not-so-long exchange, the two old friends poured the bitter water that had accumulated for many years into each other.
Obviously, they both have deep feelings about the fact that they are suddenly pressed on their heads by the complicated affairs of the genetic protoplasm, and the relationship between the two has not been easily diluted by decades.
Of course, in addition to the busy affairs of the Legion, the two Astartes also talked a lot, including but not limited to the alien worlds they had wiped out during the Great Expedition, how many skulls/scriptures had been captured in one war after another, and even some complaints about the genetic protogen.
Angeltay, in particular, when he and Karn mentioned his genetic father, was completely like a commoner in the hive city who had been crushed by work and life.
Karn also felt the same way, after all, the period of Elaine's disappearance was almost the most difficult time for the Twelfth Legion—whether it was the economic situation of the home planet Nukeria, or the scarcity of resources in many of the worlds under his command, and the various space pirates in the Maelstrom region that were difficult to exterminate, all of which were headaches for him.
Managing so many galaxies and worlds is no easy task, not to mention that they are all nearly exhausted in a massive war that will take decades to recover.
However, in response to this question, Angeltay and Karn mentioned the current formation of the Whisperers, which were reorganized from large legions into more flexible warbands, and when these warbands operated in the form of ship-based, the problems of logistics and supplies were simplified.
Karn, who had suffered from the logistical struggles, had a clear eye, and although the Children of the Mountains now had almost eight companies left, if Elaine had not returned, this strategy of dispersing and developing separately would have been entirely feasible.
Although Karn did not know that the system of the Bearer was proposed by Elaine to Luojia.
However, this kind of problem does not affect the reminiscence of the two old friends when they reunite after a long absence.
Although Karn recalled the Blessed Son he had seen in Elaine's memories and the 'great deeds' of the Bearer in that timeline, he knew that even a predetermined fate, or some kind of high will, could be changed.
So, Karn always regarded this battle brother, who might have an ill-fated future, as the Angeltay he knew, not the dirty, ugly enchanted warrior.
Moreover, Karn was determined to change the fate of the war dogs in the same way that Elaine would change the fate of the war dogs - in the future, he would also change the fate of Angeltay.
And Angeltay, who had a very good relationship with Karn, naturally noticed the strangeness of the other party when he mentioned the Great Vortex War.
But just as bonds of trust are often the result of mutual effort, the Whisperer warrior didn't think much of it, just dismissed it as some kind of secret that couldn't be said more.
……
When Angeltay meets Luojia again, his genetic father seems to have been completely transformed.
The handsome face, which was extremely similar to that of the Lord of Mankind, was no longer engraved with the gilded incantation of the Sacred Words, and even any rune tattoos were difficult to see, and the confusion in the deep purple eyes was all gone, replaced by an extremely determined gaze, as if some kind of blazing flame was constantly burning in it.
"My lord, what are you...?"
Although he was very happy to see his genetic father finally shaken off his depression, Angeltay still wondered what the two genetic prototypes had communicated.
During these days, Luojia's self-destructive and devastating appearance often worried the warriors of the Bearers.
Moreover, due to Luojia's negative attitude towards everything, they are unable to understand the state of the genetic father at all, not to mention that the crisis of Colchis has not yet been completely over, and these Astartes have to focus on the many matters in front of them.
Of course, they would never have guessed that Luojia actually had the idea of wanting to kill herself.
Even Elaine was shocked when she learned about Luojia's thoughts, she didn't expect that Luojia would be hit to a state of despair after predicting everything in the future.
"Change."
Luojia muttered softly.
As for the doubts about the heir, Luojia only expressed her changes in concise words.
During this time, he almost fell into the same thoughts as his future self during the events of the Perfect City - many extreme ideas appeared in the blank thoughts, collided with each other, and it was not until Elaine's punch fell that all the complex ideas finally stabilized.
also made Luojia once again sigh about the misfortune of fate.
If Elaine hadn't killed Erebus and executed Colfaron himself, then his previous confused appearance would have been taken advantage of by them, and might even be worse.
“……?”
Angeltay was a little puzzled.
As much as he wanted to understand what the Father of Genes was thinking today, it was clear that the Bearer did not have the ability to make a 'telepathic connection' as Karn called it.
"So... Have you decided to come back and take over the Legion? My lord. ”
Angeltay asked tentatively, and it seemed to him that Luojia had completely come out of the haze before.
Although he didn't know what was going on, Angeltay subconsciously hoped that his genetic father would be able to re-lead the Seventeenth Legion as he had done in the past, instead of putting most of the heavy lifting on his shoulders.
"Hmm."
Luojia nodded slightly, her lilac eyes full of determination.
"Thank you for your hard work during this time, Angeltay."
"As incompetent as a father and leader, as the father of your genes, I must lead you to truly free yourself from the shackles of fate."
"The crisis in Colchis, the disaster in the perfect city, I will never let them happen a second time."
"In this long journey, I have seen the crossroads of fate and the tracks of the wheels... If I'm still in prayer and don't want to see the truth... Then I will live up to my father's expectations of me, and my children's admiration for me. ”
"The Iron Man thing - it's coming to an end soon... Until then, let the warriors of the Bearers prepare a little, Angeltai. ”
"We're on an expedition."

The next two or three chapters deal with the iron man, and then go to the scared eye TTK!
