Chapter 245 Brothers Meet

Ferrus was now lying on the workbench.

He watched as Kaul was performing the final work on his body.

A layer of bionic skin is slowly being covered over his mechanical body.

Even if it's just a disguise, it's easier to accept than a purely mechanical appearance.

Just because Gao Yi can accept the purely mechanized Ferrus doesn't mean that other people in the empire can accept it.

And this was also Ferrus's request.

"Ferus, does this body feel alright?"

Gao Yi asked from the side.

"In this body, I don't feel any fatigue, and I can still think. But I don't have my own sense of touch, taste, smell, or hearing. All my senses have been transformed into data and directly entered my consciousness. This makes me very uncomfortable. I need to spend more time to adapt to this body of mine."

After his initial doubts, Ferrus has now completely accepted his condition, as if after experiencing death once, his heart has become extremely firm.

Ferrus has been in self-doubt because Fulgrim wants to recruit him into the rebellion, and he wonders if he has any weaknesses or rebellious qualities.

But now he has completely gotten rid of this idea.

He once proved his loyalty to the Empire and humanity with his life, and the Emperor once again asked him to help the Empire, which showed that he was still trusted by his father.

He looked at Karax curiously. Was he surprised that the Empire had begun to accept aliens? Ferrus had exterminated many aliens, but the Empire would also accept some non-dangerous and valuable aliens into the Empire, such as space apes.

But the Protoss are clearly not the type that are not dangerous.

According to Gao Yi, his body came from the technology of these aliens.

He could feel that this body of his was stronger than his previous one.

But he also showed a worried expression. He learned from Cawl that Ferrus' own descendants still existed in the Empire, and they were still fighting for the Empire. After losing him, his descendants became more and more obsessed with flesh and blood and mechanical ascension.

His death made his descendants even more paranoid, which made Ferrus feel a little guilty.

Members of the Iron Hands like to imitate Ferrus and cut off their hands and replace them with metal prosthetics to pay tribute to Ferrus, but they don't know that Ferrus wanted to end this tradition a long time ago, but even though he banned it, some people still did it.

He is now very worried that if his descendants see him in this state, they will worship the concept of mechanical ascension even more.

Ferrus's original iconic hands covered in living metal were something he had always wanted to get rid of.

This is also the important reason why Ferrus asked Cawl to help him cover a layer of bionic skin.

The moment the bionic skin was completely covered, he quickly got into the state and began to carry out the task assigned to him by the Emperor.

Ferrus was also a pragmatist.

He has taken the initiative to ask Kaul to provide him with some weapons and equipment, and started to modify them himself.

Ferrus' most powerful fighting method was the various powerful long-range weapons he carried with him, which was very similar to Kohl's fighting method. All fear came from insufficient firepower. Under normal circumstances, he could use long-range weapons to eliminate the enemy before close combat and would never drag it into close combat.

And his favorite way to lead his legions to conquer the world is to completely destroy the opponent with overwhelming firepower.

However, in the final battle with Fulgrim, he was completely overwhelmed by anger and lost his mind. His mind was filled with the urge to kill Fulgrim with his own hands, and he even held on to a glimmer of delusion that he would turn back.

Otherwise, the outcome of the battle is uncertain.

When Cawl covered it with the last piece of bionic skin, Ferrus looked at his hands that seemed to have returned to the flesh, but suddenly two psychic light blades appeared from the finger bones.

And Karax was explaining on the side.

"Lord Ferrus, this is a psychic blade of light belonging to the Protoss, powered by your body and the psychic matrix of the Protoss. Normally, we use psychic restrainers to produce it, but based on the material properties of your body, perhaps you can use the psychic energy in your body to condense it into the weapon you are familiar with."

After listening to what Karax said, Ferrus also tried to change the form of the psychic light blade, and soon under the control of Ferrus's mind, a huge psychic long-handled hammer appeared in his hand.

Ferrus tried swinging it twice and found that the hammer was a more suitable weapon for a blacksmith like him.

Seeing the appearance of the hammer, Gao Yi guessed that what Ferrus manifested was the divine artifact, the Furnace Breaker.

This thing seems to be still in the Blood Crow's treasure house, and even the Blood Crow doesn't dare to take it out. If other people knew about it, the Iron Hand would definitely try every means to get it back.

Gao Yi also chose to pretend not to know. After all, Blood Raven now belonged to his own power, and he didn't want Ferrus to know that Blood Raven had secretly hidden his things.

"That. Ferrus."

"What's wrong with you, Lord Gao Yi? Why is there sweat on your forehead? Why are you so nervous?"

"It's nothing. I just want to remind you that you may have to face Fulgrim again in the future. He has now become the Daemon Primarch of Slaanesh. I hope you are mentally prepared and don't act impulsively this time."

Gao Yi quickly changed the subject.

"Don't worry, Lord Gao Yi. I won't make the same mistake again. I will defeat him thoroughly this time!"

"I hope so!"

At this time, a blue figure also walked here quickly.

The person who came was Guilliman. Gao Yi called Guilliman, who was making preparations for the war, into the Spear of Adun.

Guilliman was a little unhappy at first, thinking that Gao Yi should not disturb him at this point before the war, but when he saw his dead brother standing in front of him, he also stood there.

Guilliman also had a very good relationship with Ferrus, and even called Ferrus Ultramar's most steadfast ally. He was extremely sorry for the death of his brother. He even felt that if the Ultramarines and the Iron Hands cooperated, they would unleash unparalleled combat power.

"Is that really you, Ferrus?"

"Guilliman is me. My father sent me back to the Empire. We have the opportunity to fight side by side again."

"Very good!"

Guilliman couldn't help but step forward and give Ferrus a big hug.

The long-lost reunion of brothers made both of them feel much better, but when Guilliman hugged Ferrus, he also felt something abnormal in his body.

"Is this a surprise?"

Gao Yi explained the process to Guilliman.

"Thank you, Lord Gao Yi. Although he was resurrected in this way, Ferrus is back with us after all. I don't care what his body looks like, as long as it's Ferrus himself!"

"Yes, he may become our secret weapon and give Chaos a surprise, Guilliman. I hope that for the time being, we will not inform the Empire of Ferrus' return like we did with yours. His body is still not perfect. A Primarch who cannot be separated from the Spear of Adun for a long time will inevitably make people think too much, especially for his descendants."

"I think the same as you."

Ferrus did not reject Gao Yi and Guilliman's proposal. He didn't know how to face his offspring now.

In another half a mile of Terra, their fleet would reach Cadia, their destination.
