Chapter 454 I choose Mara, she can lead us through the Milky Way
Unlike the stretcher team of the Ultramarines, as the King of Endurance of the Empire, the Primarch Guard of the Black Watch has always been a decoration, and Hogg does not need anyone to protect him at all.

But things are different now. After suffering a great loss, all the Black Watch do not agree with their father acting alone. The Primarch Guards return to their duties again and follow Hogg wherever he goes.

Entering the palace, Hogg, who was already familiar with the route, came directly to the gate of the underground palace without any guidance, but the Primarch's guards behind him were stopped.

Hogg stopped Bane who was about to say something obscene and ordered them to stay where they were. If the palace could be attacked again, it would be useless for them to stop them.

After pushing open the door, Hogg was ready for the Emperor to be half dead. However, when he looked up, he saw the yellow-skinned guy playing video games in his Dreadnought, swearing at his words. This suppressed Hogg's emotions.

"Lao Deng, what did you call me for?"

The Emperor quickly put down the terminal and stopped talking. He just stared at Hogg, which made him feel creepy.

After a few minutes, Hogg couldn't stand it anymore and walked up to teach this nonsense a lesson.

"Stop, I'm disabled now, you can't do this to me."

The Emperor's words did not work. Just by looking at the strong curse just now, Hogg knew that this guy must be pretending to be dead again. He was the one who created the Dreadnought. Who are you performing for here?

Seeing that pretending to be pitiful didn't work, the emperor went straight to the point and asked the question he had been thinking about for a long time:

"Damn it, am I a qualified father?"

Perhaps because he had never said such words before, Hogg actually saw a hint of uneasiness on Old Man Huang's face. He did not look as arrogant as usual.

Although he really wanted to punch that big face, when he thought of the warm golden light he felt at the last moment, Hogg gritted his teeth and said:
"Not bad! Why are you so nagging now? Is it because your little wife Makado is having a quarrel with you? I am so unlucky to have a father like you."

Hearing that Hogg agreed with him, the Emperor simply ignored the second half of the sentence, and once again resumed his arrogant attitude, saying:
"So, you rejected that invitation because I am 10000 times stronger than Mara, right?"

Hearing this, Hogg didn't know how Old Man Huang had the nerve to say that. He stopped tolerating him and punched him directly, causing two bloody noses.

"Shut up, old man Huang! Who gave you the confidence? I rejected the invitation because that idiot wanted me to sacrifice Blackwatch. I'm already giving you face by admitting that you're a qualified father. You're even comparing yourself to Malabi. I think you don't even care about your dignity anymore."

"The Empire is in such a mess right now. If not half of it, at least you are partly responsible. I am the one who keeps my mouth shut. If nothing else, as long as you release Mara's portrait, do you think the other primarchs will still recognize you as an old fool?"

For some unknown reason, the Emperor felt much better after being scolded by Hogg, and this time he summoned Hogg because of this issue.

He knew his own character very well. Even the Emperor, who admired him the most, could not guarantee that Horus would become the first leader after meeting Mara. What happened to Hogg further proved his guess.

Looking at this heir who was similar to himself in both shamelessness and moral standards, the Emperor discussed:
"Don't say these useless things. I believe you already know the origins of Mara. While the other Primarchs are still unaware, you should quickly think of a solution for me. The Empire can no longer afford another rebellion. How about we kill her..."

At this point, the Emperor stretched out his hands and made a throat-slitting gesture, which made Hogg so angry that he punched him again. He wondered why there was such a big difference in human conduct? We all came from the same body, so why couldn't you do anything that was even remotely human?

But no matter what, the Emperor's thoughts were indeed within Hogg's consideration. Even a strong man like him almost fell into the trap of the Warp, let alone the other Primarchs. Leaving Mara alone would ultimately be a time bomb.

Combining the previous inferences, after thinking for a while, Hogg suggested: "Old man Huang, in order to seduce me, the subspace actually threw out the corroded and twisted throne. Although it did not succeed, I found some interesting things in the ascension ceremony. Our previous plan was completely correct."

As a veteran of bugs who repeatedly jumped back and forth on the throne of God, the Emperor knew what Hogg was talking about, but the answer made him feel a little uncomfortable:

"You mean to say that I'm a substitute?"

"That's right!" Although he didn't want to admit it, the facts had already explained everything. Hogg knocked on Old Man Huang's car and continued:

"Since the Kobolds have a negative side in Gotha, then your negative side must also exist. Now Mara is still controllable. If she is gone, who knows what kind of weird thing will appear. It's better to recruit her."

"Besides, I don't even know what you are. You should be happy that someone is helping you share the pressure. Don't pretend in front of me. Do you believe that once Mara comes, those severe father-loving patients will be able to connect the Milky Way?"

Hogg was right. When it came to understanding the Primarch, no one knew him better than the Emperor, and that was why he disliked Mara.

The Emperor wants to make humanity great again, but after humanity is revived, even with the suppression of the Black Light Church, as the number of humans slowly increases, even the remaining faith will lead it to that end. And Hogg, who can harmlessly erode faith, is no longer strong enough to keep up with his pace, not to mention that the Emperor must maintain his own strength to achieve the effect of deterring Chaos.

Thinking of this, even though he was reluctant, the Emperor could only acquiesce to this proposal, but he still sneered:
"I've fed you Star God fragments for so many years, why are you still such a waste? Even if the Star God doesn't beat me in the subspace, at least he can maintain the balance of the dimension. Look at you."

The eldest brother doesn't laugh at the second brother. Hogg thinks he has tried very hard. His tentacle phantom eats and drinks desperately in the subspace, but even so, his strength growth is still abnormally slow. The gestation period of a star god is calculated in billions of years. What can he do?

Hogg grabbed the snacks from the emperor's table and turned his grief and anger into food. He was in a weak period now. How could he recover his strength without eating? But halfway through the meal, he suddenly remembered something.

"Old Huang, do you still have the Umbra you gave me to eat? That thing is the remnant of the Ancient Saint. This Ancient Saint is my good brother Shi Lan. Shafulin said that after Shi Lan died, he turned into three Umbra monsters. One is in charge of emotions, one turned into Shafulin, and the last one has all of Shi Lan's research memories."

"Hand that over quickly. With it, we can inherit the mantle of the ancient saint. Why are we still struggling?"

But as soon as he looked up, Hogg saw the emperor standing there in a daze. The expression on his face was more painful than if his entire family had died, and tears were bursting out directly.

"No, Old Huang? Yellow-skinned? Dad! Don't scare me, just say something."

No matter how Hogg asked, the Emperor remained silent. His eyes were as empty as a dead person, and only the tears kept pouring out. Even Terra, where the ocean had long dried up, was hit by heavy rain. Everyone could feel the endless regret from the bottom of his heart.

"I'm so damned good!"

………………

At the same time, even the last bit of their family property was lost. Mara and the other two, who had been hungry for several days, stared at the container that fell from the sky in a daze. Erda even read out the big words on the box:
"Blackwatch's special dog food brings you a home-like battlefield dining experience."

"..."

　The Corgi won the resurrection match and went home for quarantine.
