At this moment, within the fleet of the Emperor's Children's Primarch.
The Pride of the Emperor.
After a period of adjustment, the various Astartes and Imperial Army of the 28th Expeditionary Fleet had mostly accepted these pointy-eared demi-humans as the much-needed personnel replenishment for the 28th Expeditionary Fleet.
It couldn't be helped. Their technology was just too good.
Although there would be some crazies who thought this was a compromise with the xenos, fortunately, the Emperor's Children, as a legion responsible for diplomatic etiquette and other matters in the setting, were not too xenophobic towards intelligent xenos who could be communicated with.
At most, you call me "Mon-keigh," and I call you "xenos."
They got along very harmoniously.
When Kasjia was around, he naturally would not object to this trend.
—After all, the future Regent did it too.
It was now time for the sermon.
At this time, most of the Astartes and crew would be in the large assembly hall of the ship, listening to the sermon on the Imperial Truth from the Imperial Iterant.
The Eldar Corsairs, led by Yriel, would naturally not be so foolish as to go.
They were not so stupid as to believe that a god saying he was not a god really meant he was not a god.
Yriel would often take this opportunity to gather the Eldar crew on the Pride of the Emperor to jointly worship the shrine of the Phoenix King Asuryan.
Facing the statue of the Phoenix King Asuryan, she piously bowed three times.
"Sister, but I'm still a little confused."
"Do you think that human with the power of the Phoenix King is a bit too weak?"
As she spoke, Yriel glanced at Fulgrim in the oil painting hanging in the corridor.
"As a nascent god of the Empyrean, he, like her, is currently in a hazy stage of not yet being awakened."
"Perhaps their current use of the power of the Empyrean is still very shallow, but one day, they will accept their essence."
"At that time, their power will be unstoppable."
Four words.
The future is promising.
"But Princess Yriel, that nascent god's love story with our new Phoenix King... what's that all about?"
Hearing this, Yriel was also a little embarrassed.
Not long after the Eldar Corsairs had joined the 28th Expeditionary Fleet, Fulgrim, feeling a great sense of crisis, had often performed stories from the Chemos era in front of them.
And she had demonstrated the thirty years, Sagittarius, golden ring to all of them.
It had greatly shocked these young Eldar who had not experienced the Great Fall.
The new Phoenix King is in love with a nascent god...
Some bad images appeared in Yriel's mind.
She had heard that this thing was very popular on the human side of the Imperium.
Not only did the high-ranking planetary governors and nobles love to watch it, but she had also heard that even the guys who worked all year round in the lower and middle levels of the hive cities also liked to watch it in their spare time.
"But the new Phoenix King doesn't seem to object to it."
Yriel recalled the old golden ring that Kasjia had been wearing on his right hand at that time.
"He must have his own profound meaning for doing this!"
How can you question the decision of a god?!
Friend!
As she spoke, she placed the thirtieth oil painting in the corridor, which depicted Kasjia and Fulgrim wearing the Sagittarius golden rings, together with the shrine of the Phoenix King.
And just like that, Kasjia accepted the worship of thirty Aeldari for thirty minutes and thirty seconds.
Back on the Fist of Iron.
"Challenging me?"
Ferris looked at the ambitious Kasjia and sneered.
"Even your master, the Second Company Captain Arcur Tona, with her unparalleled swordsmanship, was defeated by me."
"On what grounds do you dare to provoke me!?"
Ferris's words became sharper with her pronunciation.
Kasjia didn't know if this was her irritable older sister's nature, or if it was the influence of the damn Warp daemon.
"On this," Kasjia said, and showed the psionic flame in his hand.
[Stay away from him.]
[This is a cursed flame. You must not get close to it.]
A voice from the bottom of Ferris's heart told her.
"I never thought that my sister, who most崇尚 the Imperial Truth, would also have a sorcerer husband."
She was a little disgusted by this.
"But at that time, sorcery did indeed save the lives of your two adjutants and Amal, didn't it?"
Kasjia had actually hated sorcery very much before.
But ever since his hand had started to catch fire, he had discovered that he actually hated two things.
Sorcery, and the fact that he couldn't use sorcery.
And after hearing Kasjia's statement about the psionic flame, Ferris's expression also softened a little.
In the previous battle, the psionic flame had indeed effectively suppressed the Gardinerian sorcerer.
In the post-battle analysis report and after-action review, the psionic strength of that psyker from Gardiner was a bit outrageous.
Not only could he suppress the best of the Thousand Sons Librarians, but he could even intermittently affect a Primarch for a period of time.
For being able to thwart the assassination and save the lives of many of the Primarch's personal guard and Amal, Kasjia could be said to have made a great contribution.
"And because my psionic awakening was not long ago, the specific effect of this flame is also difficult to fully master."
"At the same time, because there is no Librarian position within the Iron Hands, I have no way of judging how much power the psionic flame can actually unleash."
"Therefore, I hope to be able to understand the power I was born with in a battle with a powerful enemy of the Primarch level. And in future battles, to save more allies and eliminate more enemies."
Kasjia's expression was sincere, his words earnest.
"What about Amal? Why didn't he come to help you test it?"
Hearing Kasjia's words, Ferris's tone softened a little.
"He..."
Kasjia said with a smile, "We tested it before. He couldn't withstand my flame."
As he spoke, he looked at the somewhat dazed Amal at the side.
Hey! It's your turn!
Say your lines!
"Ah? Ah!"
"Yes, yes, yes."
The Thousand Sons Librarian nodded frequently.
"We tested it before. Kasjia's psionic flame is extremely mysterious, and it seems it's not something I can withstand."
A powerful enemy.
Unlike the enemies that Ferris had encountered in the past, who were known for their brute force.
This time, the challenge from the commander of the Emperor's Children, Kasjia Sherlock, was from a sorcerer.
"Alright. In that case, then show me your power."
"But—to challenge a legion's Primarch is not so easy."
As she spoke, Ferris showed a slightly wicked smile.
"I need you to provide your stake."
Her hand pointed to Kasjia's waist.
"For example, the power sword that Fulgrim gave you."
Big Sister Fei did indeed hold a grudge.
She still seemed to be sad that her sincere heart had been let down by Fulgrim.
And she was always ready to snatch this precious sword from his, Kasjia's, hands.
"Or, Kasjia Sherlock, you can bet yourself," Ferris said with a smile.
"If I lose, I will, with the power of the entire legion, forge you a power sword that is better, stronger, and sharper than this one."
"Although I won't lose."
"Do you accept this proposal?"
"...I have no objection. Let the match begin."
Kasjia thought for a moment, and still decided to accept this bet.
Although the sword was precious, especially since it was a gift from Fulgrim...
...but compared to letting half the galaxy burn, this was indeed a small price to pay.
"You will fail."
"Utterly."
Standing in the large duel cage personally designed by the Primarch, the fully armed Kasjia felt the oppressive aura from his Primarch opponent.
Not like Fulgrim in the past, who would show him infinite mercy.
Like a fierce mother leopard that would devour people, Ferris's tall shadow at this moment completely covered Kasjia.
"Are you ready, little one?"
Looking at the other's combat stance, Kasjia, even though he knew it was just training, still felt a little scared in his heart.
Who knew if this daemon would suddenly possess Big Sister Fei like on Istvaan V?
And then give him a Lion's Head-Flying Fist?
"Go, Kasjia! Don't lose face for our Emperor's Children!"
Arcur, who was sitting at the side, shouted with a smile.
A very familiar scene.
However, this time, the one watching the show had been replaced from Kasjia to Arcur.
The tables have turned.
"Let's begin."
As she spoke, Ferris lowered her center of gravity and rushed towards the other party at an extremely fast speed.
She did not equip any weapons in a duel.
Or rather, her pair of iron hands, covered in silver liquid metal, were the best weapons.
No matter what level of attack, it could not penetrate her extremely tough hands.
And Kasjia, facing this ferocious blow, chose to dodge sideways.
Today, the weapon he had chosen was the exquisite power sword forged by Fulgrim.
The reason he did not choose his most commonly used, insidious shield-thrust was also very simple.
A boarding shield could block bullets, but it could not block a human cannonball like Ferris.
If he really took a hit like that, even with a large shield in his hand, his whole body would have to fly up.
Fly up!
But it's not like he could beat Ferris without a shield either.
Even though Kasjia had tried his best to dodge, the iron hand from Ferris had still almost scraped past him.
A series of counter-attacks met the sword that Kasjia had thrust forward.
And then, Kasjia went flying.
"Kasjia, where is your proud flame?"
Ferris asked, a little confused.
She had clearly said that this was a flame whose strength could only be tested by a Primarch. Why had Kasjia been relying on his physical strength to take hits all this time?
She didn't understand.
But if that was all, then she would gladly accept the Fireblade in Kasjia's hand.
Thinking of this, her hands once again formed into fists and rushed towards Kasjia again.
But this time, Kasjia not only did not make any evasive movements, but he even moved aside the sword he had been holding in front of him.
As if he wanted to take this punch with his own body.
"What are you do—!"
At the last moment, Ferris still chose to hold back.
Even if her temper was a little bit explosive, she would not be like the Lion King and give a head-flying fist to her subordinate who had just made a great contribution.
Now is the time!
Seeing the moment Ferris held back, the golden-red flame on Kasjia's right arm instantly ignited.
And then, at the risk of being heavily punched in the chest, Kasjia's right hand climbed onto her silver arm.
In an instant, the flame burst forth.
Kasjia was searching.
He firmly believed that Ferris would definitely not say things that encouraged the mechanization of the Iron Hands, making them more and more unlike humans.
She must have been seduced by some unknown creatures!
The moment the flame burned Ferris, Kasjia began to scan her soul.
Something's strange!
Right here!
After realizing that he had encountered something strange, Kasjia's flame tried to identify the other party.
It really is you!
In that instant, the vision from the Empyrean allowed him to see the other party's identity clearly.
The Sapphire King!
A daemon of Slaanesh!
Born in the past, but with the hatred of the dead Iron Hands of the future for their own flesh and blood, it had attached itself to that space hulk.
Finally, after Ferris had boarded the warship, it had taken this opportunity to quietly lurk in the Primarch's consciousness.
And subtly guide the Primarch to accept the future of the full mechanization of the Iron Hands!
Thus, forming a closed loop of cause and effect and fate.
"Damn you, you things are really everywhere," Kasjia could feel that in the face of his flame, this daemon who was skilled at seducing people's hearts had nowhere to hide at this moment!
Fire!
Burn him for me!
The flame covered this damn daemon.
Even though there was no sound, Kasjia could still seem to hear the other's miserable screams.
Continue!
Increase the firepower!
With Kasjia's will, the flame from his right hand grew stronger.
I want to see this damn daemon completely disappear from the world!
Almost there!
Just a little more!
Kasjia could feel that the other was becoming weaker and weaker under the roasting of his flame. Soon, he could do it!
Even though his chest was in severe pain from Ferris's bombardment at this moment, but just a little longer—
"Is this all your strength?"
"How ridiculous."
Thud.
With a huge vibration, Kasjia was impatiently sent flying by the Primarch.
He, and his proud flame, were so easily extinguished by a single punch from Ferris.
Didn't burn him to death.
Feeling the pain all over his body, Kasjia was a little helpless.
It could only be said that the plan was still too hasty.
He had even been dragged on for so long by that unknown daemon on Byzas.
To want to directly burn a famous greater daemon to death in such a short time was still too difficult.
If the real Asuryan had come in person, it might have been possible.
But Kasjia was, after all, just the new body of the Phoenix King's nirvana rebirth.
The flame was just a special ability to deal with daemons.
But that did not mean that it was omnipotent.
It would be great if he could just burn a greater daemon to death so easily.
Kasjia thought.
But the reality was that even Guilliman, with the Emperor's Sword in his hand, when he really met Mortarion, he had to fight with him for a while. Not only could he not burn the other to death, but he couldn't even beat him at all.
"Now, this is really going to be difficult."
