Chapter 198 190. Mortarion Feels Fear
Endurance meeting room.

Hades thought for a while, and hesitantly put down the fruit that was picked up from the Shadow Moon Wolf.

Looking at Mortarion, who was obviously not right in front of him, Hades didn't expect this to happen.

In Hades' vision, the biggest possibility is that Mortarion was favored by Horus, and then he persuaded him not to trust the moon wolf too much, and gave Horus to Mortarion The favorability of brushing will drop for him.

After all, Horus was the one with full social ability in the Primarch, Hades didn't think Mortarion could hear Horus' words.

But what's the situation now, the two chatted?
Horus can actually chat collapse?
Hades didn't know whether to lament that Mortarion had evolved to the point where even Horus could collapse, or whether he should be thankful that Mortarion was not favored by Horus' few words.

However, given Mortarion's abnormal behavior, Hades felt that things might not be so simple.

But he really couldn't think of a possible plot other than Horus scolding Mortarion a country bumpkin. It couldn't be that Horus turned against him now and then surprised Mortarion, right?

By the way, apart from Horus, Hades scanned all the shadow moon wolves he could reach with the black field, and concluded that they are healthy and free from pollution.

Hades didn't dare to scan the soul of the Primarch rashly. Even if he diluted the black area to the extreme, the sensitivity of the Primarch would make them aware that someone was "peeping" them in the first place.

Seeing that Mortarion seemed to be autistic, Hades thought for a moment, and decided to pick an unambiguous question to start the topic——

Mortarion spoke,

"Hades, open the black domain, and let those untouchables stand guard on the outermost part of the Endurance that touches the moon wolf."

"Also keep Moonwolves from seeing our Untouchables."

Before Mortarion finished speaking, Hades, who realized everything, was shocked, and at the same time, Hades immediately released the diluted black area, covering the entire conference room.

The order was also faithfully sent out by radio waves, and the gravekeeper in charge of the untouchables began to move.

After feeling the sense of oppression from the Black Territory, Mortarion opened his mouth slowly,
"Hades, I have a guess."

"The Death Guard may fall."

Hades nodded, waiting for Mortarion's next sentence, but he had already guessed what Mortarion was going to say.

"The Shadow Moon Wolf may also fall."

The tail of this sentence swept across the meeting room of the death guard, leaving a brief silence between the two.

Mortarion turned his head and looked at Hades, who nodded slowly, confirming the conjecture.

Or rather, this future.

Seeing Hades nodding, Mortarion became more emaciated, visible to the naked eye. The Primarch of the Death Guard was like a seriously ill leper, but now he is more like a dead person.

Hades waited in silence, waiting for Mortarion to see the truth.

After a while, Mortarion sighed slowly, the poison surrounding him became chaotic with this move,

"I should have thought of it."

Mortarion's voice was almost broken in the poisonous gas,

"I should have thought"

Mortarion stared at the wall of the Endurance, at the bone-white wall that would be their last gravestone,

"We have passed from a cruel and cold world into another, more empty and cold universe. The hope that was promised is but a lie for a moment, and the brotherhood that was once expected is but a mist shrouded in a cruel truth."

"I was not allowed a choice."

"Whether on the highest mountain of Barbarus or in the rooms of the Emperor's Mirage"

"Now I am forced to learn that even the last so-called blood relationship will be eroded by the evil existence in the subspace."

Mortarion's sigh-like voice sounded, and the voice dissipated into the mist like an ebbing tide, leaving only a hazy and empty poisonous mist.

"Hades,"

"Ok?"

Hades responded cautiously, obviously Mortarion was frustrated, even desperate, by the somewhat too cruel reality.

Mortarion tapped his sickle unconsciously,
"Do you know? The man who called himself my father promised me my brother and my confidant."

"It's all lies."

"He tried to lure me into a sinking ship with those nihilistic ideas. This was originally the most pale and ridiculous lie, but I believed him, just for everything ridiculous."

"Now I will watch my 'brothers' sink into the abyss called despair, and I myself hang in vain on the edge of the cliff, teetering."

Mortarion was silent for a moment, only he had faced the truth of Chaos at the edge of time, and the horror of the warp was deeply carved in his soul, making him shudder.

Would Mortarion be so terrified if it was just one person, or just him?But Mortarion finally met a brother who expressed goodwill to him, but realized that all this was just a good bubble, a promise of a liar, empty and unrealistic.

Hades remained silent, for he realized that the consolation of the moment would be another deception, that no one could be ashamed to promise a story of peace and hope in this world.

If Hades had spoken, he had done what the Emperor had done to Mortarion.

Hades spoke slowly,
"So we promise to die...because we know the world is cruel."

Mortarion heaved a long sigh, vulnerable and worried because of the rare camaraderie he had been inspired by the momentary blinding of Horus.

Horus has been promising hope and warmth, which makes Mortarion temporarily blurred what he has been carrying and facing-

death.

He is a pessimist, and he is not optimistic about any hope. The Death Guard was born in the promise of death. Perhaps Mortarion should have realized this long ago, and then gave up on Horus and brotherhood. actual phantom,
A pessimist would never say the words to save it all, and Mortarion, who had once looked into Chaos, knew he couldn't do it, but he would say—

"If their final outcome is depravity, then let me send them death."

A clean death would be the first gift Mortarion had prepared for his kind and warm brother.

Mortarion glanced at Hades, who had remained sternly silent since he spoke.
"Have you realized this before?"

Hades gave him an affirmative answer, and Mortarion sighed again,

"Words have evil power, and I understand your caution in daring not to speak too much."

"I might wonder how you know this, but it doesn't matter to me, the Emperor, Malcador, or the prophecy, I don't care."

"But I trust you."

Mortarion mused.

They have all experienced that illusion, and Hades was repeatedly warned by Malcador,

"Who do I want to guard against?"

Mortarion asked suddenly,

"Everyone, Legion, Auxiliary, Imperial Navy, Mechanicus."

"Can it appear at the same time?"

"at the same time."

Mortarion and Hades glanced at each other,
"This is worse than I imagined, did my biological father know or be involved in this?"

Hades nodded.

Mortarion looked more like a corpse now, he said weakly,
"Maybe I deserve to die on the mountain of Barbarus, not here, forced to understand and suffer from the torture of soul and heart."

"But we are all alive now, maybe this is life."

Seeing that Mortarion had stabilized after confiding, Hades decided not to persuade him anymore. After all, Mortarion had experienced a similar situation once, and the Primarch could adjust it by himself.

Hades thought for a while, picked up the fruit from Moon Wolf, gnawed on it, and handed one to Mortarion by the way,
"Eat?"

Mortarion looked at Hades with disbelieving eyes, and he pointed to the fruit. It was so plump and attractive, it was worthy of being used by the moon wolf to entertain guests.

But in this case.
"Can you still eat?"

Hades blinked indifferently,
"At least for now they're good."

Mortarion suddenly realized a terrible truth again, Hades knew it, he knew it!

But he can still do all this safely, and he can still eat a fruit with peace of mind!
For the first time Mortarion felt the terror of Hades.

 There is one more, wait for my code
