Chapter 244: Return of the Second Primarch
"Emperor, since I already have this part of authority, I can confirm that I have mastered it thoroughly. The Purifier technology is not an experimental technology. It is very mature and has been verified countless times in another world.
The Soul Furnace no longer uses power from Chaos, but is provided by my subspace projection.
You are well aware of its capabilities. I am confident that I can isolate it from the regular warp and keep it from being affected by the power of Chaos. Ferrus' soul will not be eroded by the power of Chaos.
I have built a body for it made of spirit bone machinery. A person's soul should be the basis for judging whether he is truly a human being, rather than simply judging by his physical form.
Perhaps you have a more reliable method, but after all, you are still inseparable from the Golden Throne and it is impossible to do it in a short period of time.
No one knows what the future will be like, but if we can get one more Primarch to help us now, the pressure on the Empire will be much less. We may have to face more than one demon Primarch in the future, and I need more power."
After hearing Gao Yi's words, the emperor was silent for a moment.
Resurrection in a non-human body was not what he had thought of, but as Gao Yi said, it might be better if another Primarch returned.
In the end, the emperor chose to agree to Gao Yi's request.
Beings like Ferrus, who possess the essence of the Warp, have extremely powerful souls.
The Primarch who has awakened the essence of the Warp can be regarded as a secondary evil god of the Warp.
Maintaining its existence in its cursed form is also a great burden for the Emperor.
This is equivalent to the Emperor creating a top-level demon.
Once Gao Yi succeeds, the emperor's burden of resisting deification will be a little lighter.
"Okay... create a space with enough subspace energy for me... I will let Ferrus come to you."
After receiving the Emperor's affirmative answer, Gao Yi immediately returned to reality and began to issue orders to Karax.
The surrounding crystal towers began to operate, and the psychic matrix released a large amount of psychic energy in the entire Star Furnace Forge.
"Kairax, remove the psychic protection of the Star Furnace!"
"Yes, Lord!"
With the translucent psychic shield around the Spear of Adun removed, the Emperor was able to mobilize his power through Gao Yi.
Hot flames suddenly appeared in the air, and they were getting stronger and stronger.
Psychic energy seemed to have become its fuel, and the crackling sound of flames was endless.
And slowly, a tall, dark warrior, his body burning with the flames of revenge, appeared out of nowhere in front of everyone.
With the appearance of the other party, the spiritual energy in the forging room suddenly decreased significantly, and all of it was used to maintain its continued existence.
Gao Yi looked up at the other person, a long-handled hammer was tightly held in his hand. Gao Yi looked at the other person's face, but it seemed very blurry.
Compared to the ordinary cursed warriors in the Phalanx, the hatred and anger of the cursed warriors transformed by Ferrus almost condensed into substance.
The Legion of the Damned has no Chapter Master, and the most likely person to be the Chapter Master is Ferrus.
At this moment, Ferrus seemed to have no self-awareness, he just stood in front of everyone.
Kaul couldn't help but come to Gao Yi's side.
Although the Cursed Legion would appear from time to time on various battlefields within the Empire, the Empire had always wanted to explore what kind of existence this special existence was.
However, every investigation would come to an abrupt end inexplicably. He once created a clone to study the cursed warriors, but also did not get any results.
"Lord Gao Yi, you said this is Lord Ferrus?"
"If the Emperor didn't lie to me... then why is he so motionless and unresponsive?"
"The subspace always brings surprises!"
Kaur couldn't help but sigh.
Karax also marveled at the magic of this world. The application of psychic power in the two worlds was worlds apart.
StarCraft is science, while Warhammer is metaphysics.
"Kairax, open the Star Furnace!"
"Yes! Lord!"
Under Karax's control, the door of the star furnace where the mechanical body was stored was opened.
The scorching heat emanating from it made everyone present feel severely uncomfortable.
And the spirit of Ferrus actually began to move towards the Star Furnace on his own initiative.
The flame fueled by psychic energy seemed to be melting his spirit. When Ferrus' spirit walked into the star furnace, one third of his spirit had been melted.
"Quick! Shut down the Star Furnace!"
Gao Yi immediately began to control the Star Furnace, which had turned into a soul forge.
Ferrus' spirit slowly began to transform into the purest energy under the high temperature of the Star Furnace.
The cursed Ferrus could no longer be seen with the naked eye.
Under the effect of the Soul Forge, Ferrus' soul began to attach to this spiritual body.
The mechanical body that was originally motionless suddenly seemed to have real life.
The blurry face began to become clearer and clearer, slowly revealing the original appearance of Ferrus in the record.
The expression of Ferrus in front of him began to become painful and struggling.
The process of the Soul Forge tearing apart the original soul and attaching it to a body that does not belong to it is not a pleasant one.
This kind of pain is simply unbearable for ordinary people, even the demons.
This is why all the demon engines created by the Soul Forge are irrational and full of madness.
One hour... two hours... When it came to the third hour, the painful expression on Ferrus' face began to fade.
The mechanical body also began to move automatically.
As Ferrus opened his eyes, a roar filled with endless anger even penetrated the Star Furnace!
"Fulgrim! You traitor! I will never join you in betraying my father!"
Ferrus used to have a very good relationship with Fogg. When he learned that his friend had betrayed him, one can imagine how Ferrus felt.
Even for Fulgrim, killing Ferrus was torture, and Ferrus' death gave Fulgrim the final push.
Seeing that the souls had been completely integrated, Gao Yi immediately stopped the operation of the Soul Forge and asked Karax to shut down the smelting of the Star Furnace.
Seeing Ferrus's reaction, Gao Yi guessed that his memory was still stuck at the moment when he was beheaded by Fugen.
The Emperor preserved its soul, but did not allow it to have self-awareness.
When Ferrus found that there was no enemy around, he stared at his different body in a daze.
"I...what's wrong with me...am I dead? What's wrong with my body?!"
The surrounding psychic matrix draws power from the sun's core to power this body.
Ferrus couldn't help but touch his neck. The cold and hard touch made him look a little confused. He couldn't feel his heart, nor any flesh and blood organs in his body.
He only felt that the energy core in this body was continuously providing him with incomparable energy.
He also saw Gao Yi and others standing outside the energy shield.
He couldn't wait to find out what was going on.
However, although the body forged with spirit bones and Purifier technology has no problem moving, it is not the original body after all.
This made Ferrus's movements seem a little clumsy at first, but as a Primarch he adapted very quickly.
Soon I was able to move freely.
The adaptability of the spirit bone material to psychic energy and souls allowed Ferrus to speed up the adaptation process.
He felt that he had lost a lot of memory, but there was a reminder from the Emperor in his soul. He told Ferrus about his current situation and told him that it was Gao Yi in front of him who allowed him to be resurrected in this way.
What he has to do now is to help Gao Yi and his brother Guilliman to maintain this crumbling human empire
