The restoration of the Han Dynasty began with the Horus Rebellion.

Chapter 67 Indeed, only the "Chosen One of Chaos" can defeat the "Emperor".

Chapter 68 Indeed, only the "Chosen One of Chaos" can defeat the "Emperor".

Qi Le stared at the dark muzzle of the bomb gun, showing no fear whatsoever, and instead took a step forward.

"I know that killing all the mortal crew members is an unbearable burden for you, so at the very least, please kill me—I am the lens that connects the imperial faith with reality, and my death will weaken the other's power to some extent."

However, seeing Cruz hesitate to pull the trigger, Qi Le frowned slightly.

"Sacrificing just one person can definitively influence the course of the battle. That shouldn't be a difficult choice for Astartes, should it?"

Acton Cruz, the veteran whose shoulder armor was tattooed with a Thunderhawk, closed his eyes in anguish.

Indeed, as Qi Le said, as the Emperor's warrior, he should have been no stranger to this kind of choice.

In the warlord eradication during the Terran Wars, in the purge of the Thunder Warriors from Mount Ararat, in the elimination of other human forces that refused to submit during the Great Crusade... not every soul that fell under the chainsaw blade deserved its fate, but their sacrifice was a necessary price to pay for creating humanity's future.

That's what he used to think.

But now...

"I'm sorry, I can't do it."

Cruz put down his pistol and let out a long, melancholy sigh.

"If we relentlessly pursue victory, sacrificing everything we should protect and abandoning our humanity, how are we any different from the rebels?"

"That's right."

At that moment, a deep, hoarse voice came through the communication channel.

It was a communicator from Sol Taviz, but it was now in the hands of someone else.

"I am the Warhound... no, Captain Erlen of the World Eater. We are going to destroy that so-called Butcher's Nails network. Don't come near if you don't want to be affected."

Beside Erlen was Taviz, who had been released but was now bound hand and foot.

"Don't do anything foolish! Erlen!!"

However, Erlen gently shook his head, his eyes bloodshot and his face filled with determination.

"We can't turn back now. To liberate our brothers, we've even sold our souls to the devil."

It's time to end this farce. We'll fight to the last man, even if it means our own deaths, and use a molten metal bomb to free at least one of our captive brothers before we die—what's wrong, Lucius?

Lucius, who had been severely injured by Sun Qian, was now able to move again, but his face was gloomy and full of displeasure.

"The thermobaric bombs in the armory are all gone! Could it be that they've already guessed our intentions...?"

'

"That's not the case. It's just that I happen to have an important use for those thermoplastic explosives."

Loken's calm and collected voice rang out.

"Everyone, please don't act impulsively! I don't believe that blind self-sacrifice is what Sun Qian wants to see."

'

"I rarely agree with you, Loken."

The camera pans back to the bridge, where Noctua takes a deep breath and stands up.

"The Great Tyrant is Lord Sun Qian's flagship, so we shouldn't be thinking about our so-called honor, sacrifice, or self-satisfaction, but rather how to bring Lord Sun Qian back!"

He gripped the chainsaw sword tightly, and then...

They charged at full speed toward Liu Xuande.

"Wait, don't be reckless."

"Stop him!"

Noktua threw his weapon at Liu Xuande, then suddenly turned and jumped onto the small hill made up of the defeated Astartes.

Bang!

Liu Bei easily deflected the chainsaw sword, and Togadon hesitated for a moment before charging forward.

He grabbed Noktua's chainsaw sword in mid-air with his left hand, and wielded the heavy chainsaw sword that should have been used with both hands with his right hand, slashing at Liu Xuande with both hands at the same time!

Just as Torgardon and Liu Xuande's four swords clashed, Noctua successfully jumped onto the top of the Astartes pile and used it to propel himself toward the Command Throne.

As long as you can touch the command panel...

Boom!!

Liu Xuande's body erupted with golden spiritual energy once again, but this time Togaton gritted his teeth and held on tightly, refusing to retreat even a step.

Unexpectedly, Liu Bei then kicked off with both feet and jumped up—or rather, flew up.

Liu Bei seemed to prioritize stopping Noktua. Enveloped in golden light, he charged towards Noktua with an aura defying the laws of physics, his blade aimed at the unsuspecting opponent's back...

Unexpectedly, Noktua turned around in mid-air as if he had anticipated it.

"I knew you'd target me."

Swish! !

The sharp blade plunged straight into Noctua's chest, and the latter finally understood why all the Astartes warriors had been defeated with a single sword strike.

The golden psionic flames instantly spread from his pierced heart to his entire body, as if the scorching heat from hell was mercilessly burning his internal organs, blood vessels, nerves, and even his soul.

This kind of suffering makes even death seem like a blessing.

In a daze, he seemed to hear Sun Qian's voice...

But less than a second later, all of Noctua's electronic devices were destroyed, including the power armor's energy backpack.

Even so...

"What...it's easier than I thought."

Noktua grinned, revealing a blood-soaked, gruesome smile.

At the same time, he tightly held onto the blade and arm that Liu Xuande had plunged into his body.

"Now!!"

In fact, he didn't even need to remind him; Togadon had already charged towards Liu Xuande in mid-air with his twin swords in hand, roaring.

Because one of Liu Bei's hands was restrained, he could only wield his sword with one hand to counterattack.

Bang!

Togadon's chainsaw was parried, but he still had another heavy chainsaw aimed at Liu Xuande's forehead.

hum!

To everyone's dismay, the Butcher's Nail on Liu Bei's head trembled, generating a golden, semi-transparent psionic barrier that deflected the heavy chainsaw blade's attack...

But upon seeing this, both Togaton and Noktua spontaneously broke into smiles.

Snapped!

With the heavy chainsaw sword held horizontally, it used the momentum to its fullest extent and slapped Noctua towards the command throne!

thump.

Although his body was tattered and battered, Noctua finally breathed a sigh of relief when he felt the cold command throne.

"Perform permission inheritance! And shut down the Geller force field, lifting the total lockdown!"

After uttering those words with his last breath, Noktua finally closed his eyes in exhaustion.

It's such a pity I couldn't witness Lord Sun Qian's return and the moment he created a miracle...

[Beep beep beep, warning: Permission verification failed; command execution denied.]

Upon hearing this voice, Noktua felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Could it be that they were ultimately too late, and the enemy had already granted them access?

and many more.

Why hasn't Liu Bei killed him yet?

Noktua struggled to open his eyes, but what he saw filled him with excitement.

boom!!!!

Liu Bei, who had seemed invincible like a god descending to earth just moments before, was now sent flying and crashed into the wall.

Before him stood a man shrouded in an ominous and evil aura.

His entire body was covered in black, carapace-like, ferocious armor, and his waist was adorned with a chaotic symbol composed of eight arrows.

Compared to Liu Xuande, who was radiant with golden light and divine brilliance, this one might look more like a villain, but without a doubt.

He is the savior of the Great Tyrant.

He is also her true master.

"Sorry, I took a slightly longer route to re-register my permissions and farm Demonic Points... but it looks like I made it in time."

Sun Qian’s deep, resonant voice rang out as the demon claw on his right arm merged with his armor, transforming into a gigantic weapon resembling the Claw of Horus.

"Next up is the battle between the Chosen One of Chaos and the Emperor."
