Warhammer Divine Throne-Chapter 661 - 292: Let’s Do It Ourselves!

"The Second Empire? What is that?" Laine was not familiar with it, he furrowed his brow and cast an inquiring glance at Angerong. "Brother?"

"The Second Empire?" Angerong stroked his chin. "Seems like during the Horus Heresy, Kiliman teamed up with Zhuangsen and Saint Gile, intending to preserve the fire of civilization for humanity. They proposed Saint Gile as the new Emperor, Zhuangsen as the Warmaster, Kiliman himself as the Regent, and even prepared the Star Torch... However, many things happened afterwards that led to the Second Empire not being established and dying before birth, Saint Gile died in battle, Zhuangsen fell into slumber... I am not very clear about what happened in between."

"Yes, brothers, I have thought a lot about this, and I believe that only the Second Empire can save us!" Magnus nodded repeatedly. "Think about it, brothers, Father created us only to use our power and have us assist him. Each of us was molded to stand alone but is not omnipotent. Those most proficient in military like Horus, Fugen, and Zhuangsen are unreliable, Kiliman who is good at internal affairs lacks martial valor, while Angerong and Ruth focus solely on combat."

Laine and Angerong both nodded as they listened, indeed they agreed with what Magnus said.

"Then why do we still have to listen to Father? As long as we brothers unite, we can establish the Second Empire!" Magnus revealed the thoughts he had pondered over for two years with an extremely excited tone. "Each of us has the ability to stand alone, why should we still be bound by Father? Laine, your appearance proves that fallen Primarchs can be saved, so we can completely form the Second Empire!"

"Listen to me, Laine, Angerong." Magnus saw that Laine and Angerong wanted to speak, he quickly gestured for them to let him finish. "Outside the dark Milky Way Galaxy, in places where the Light of the Star Torch does not reach, there are vast territories for expansion. Laine, we just need you to rescue our brothers one by one, and then we can start our great plan."

"We can propose Fugen as the Emperor of the Empire, Kiliman as Regent, Zhuangsen as Warmaster, Khan leading the fleet, Angerong you are in charge of suppressing rebellions, Laine you form the Judicial Court, Clarkson forms the Assassin Court, and Lorgar oversees the National Church, with Petrabo handling logistics, Ruth comes as the military police and so on... I will be the Star Torch!" Magnus was extremely excited, his red face glowing, his spirit in an ecstatic state. "Let Father drown with his decadent legacy! We'll do it ourselves! With everyone in their roles, the Second Empire is established!"

"An infinitely glorious tomorrow is waiting for us, Laine, Angerong, what do you say?" Magnus concluded. "What do you think?!"

"..." Laine and Angerong exchanged a glance, both silent.

Logically, Laine and Angerong should instinctively rebut, but they did not.

Both Angerong and Laine had been wronged by the Emperor, no need to mention Angerong, and Laine was inexplicably placed in this world, having gone through countless hardships, he was also not spared from harm.

With Magnus speaking this way, both had a slight desire stirring within them.

Laine did not have much knowledge about the Second Empire, nor did he have a say, Angerong pondered for a while then shook his head. "It's not possible, Magnus, Kiliman didn't succeed back then."

"Kiliman didn't succeed because he was stupid, believe me, we can definitely make it happen!" Magnus, seeing his supposedly perfect plan not being endorsed by Laine and Angerong, said anxiously. "I've already thought of a plan... a very perfect plan, we'll start from Terra..."

"Hm, carry on, Magnus, I'm listening." Just then, from behind Magnus came a cold, veiled voice simmering with anger.

"We first have to organize a rescue operation... Laine, Angerong?" Magnus noticed Laine and Angerong sweating on their foreheads, curiously he asked. "What's going on?"

"Nothing, Magnus, I mean... my loyalty to Father is unwavering, don't say more, I will not agree!" Laine suddenly declared resolutely, his tone unwaveringly firm.

Angerong nodded in agreement. "Precisely!"

"??? I didn't say we'd betray Father, we're just creating the Second Empire! Once it's established, Father might actually need our help." Magnus wondered why Laine and Angerong's attitudes suddenly became so stern.

However, no matter what he said, Laine and Angerong silently shook their heads.

The atmosphere suddenly became very awkward.

Until a voice as if from eternal ice came from behind. "Magnus, after all these years, serving as Tzeentch's Demon Prince, you've shown no progress at all, still so... foolish!"

Golden light radiated, Magnus's apparition instantly exploded into nothingness.

Laine and Angerong's last heard was the sound of the Emperor's iron fist smashing Magnus's teeth, the Red Son crying out miserably, alongside the Emperor's condemnation of Magnus's inadequacy, after which communication was cut.

Everything quieted down again.

Laine and Angerong exchanged a look, Laine softly said, "Let's call it a day, brother."
