Chapter 58 Despicable Old Man Huang
Hogg still takes the Emperor's orders very seriously.

In the laboratory of the Blacklight, Hogg was instructing Mortarion in making his power armor, and Mortarion lived up to expectations and quickly produced a design.

Looking at the design drawings that had just been printed, Hogg slapped Mortarion on the... waist.

"Xiao Mo! I understand why you have such thick armor, but where are your long-range weapons? You are not just going to chop with your sickle, the only long-range weapon is your little pistol."

"Hogg, I think my Dark Lantern is enough. I've tested it and it's very powerful. I've also made a poison gas device. With my super high toughness, I will definitely be able to wear down the opponent."

What Mortarion said was not without reason. After testing, it was found that Mortarion's resistance to poison was amazingly strong. His body could withstand amazing attacks and still continue fighting. This was Mortarion's special talent.

However, Hogg, who suffered from the "fear of insufficient firepower", suggested that he install an additional firepower platform. After the two negotiated, a detachable firepower backpack was installed on the back of the armor.

At the same time, in order to meet the future demand for mass troops, the Mark II power armor equipped by the Empire was also localized.

The good news is that nearly two months later, the 14th Legion also arrived at Barbarus. Wearing a brand new power armor, Mortarion met his heir on the Emperor's Dream, and staged a familiar scene of father and son recognizing each other.

However, in this timeline, Mortarion had not yet formed a rebel group in Barbarus, which prevented the returning Legion from internal strife.

As the Primarch, Hogg also participated in Mortarion's return ceremony, standing next to the Emperor as a backdrop for his little brother.

Black Watch's reconnaissance captain Lyon suddenly came behind Hogg and reported to him the secret mission assigned to him by the Primarch.

"Father, the half-blood named Karas you mentioned has been dealt with secretly, and all the witnesses have been silenced."

"Good job, back off."

After receiving his father's affirmation, Leon stood up straight, made a polite gesture, and said excitedly:

"Live up to the Legion's cultivation"

Hogg frowned and quickly told him to get out and stop bothering him in front of him.

Looking at Mortarion, who was giving a speech to the Space Marines of the XIV Legion and officially renamed the Dusk Raiders to the Death Guard, the Emperor next to Hogg suddenly spoke:
"Can what you have done really change his fate?

He is not like Angron, whose power is everywhere on Barbarus.

I felt that this child was predestined by Him. Don’t underestimate their power.”

Understanding what the Emperor meant, Hogg wasn't sure if everything he did was effective, but he felt that doing it was better than ignoring it.

Compared to Khorne's counterattack, Nurgle just gave a small greeting to himself, so small that even the Emperor who was right next to him didn't care.

Zhifutian has only one target, and that is Mortarion who is giving a passionate speech on the podium. But even the grown-up Hogg can only barely resist the evil god's gaze.

After all, they are not the kind of bootlickers who can play games with themselves. Thinking about it this way, it seems that Khorne is really good to Hogg.

"Who knows! Even if we end up fighting each other, I want to give this silly boy some good memories. This should be your job, old Biden!

I'm sure you've already noticed that Magnus, Angron, Perturabo, and now Mortarion, are all children you haven't paid attention to.

Even though you are so powerful, you can't be a competent father. Do you think they are as 'sensible' as me? "

The emperor, who was ridiculed by Hogg, did not refute Hogg's words for the first time. He knew that he was not a competent father.

But he still firmly believed that as long as the Great Crusade could be completed, he would be able to take time to deal with such small matters. Even if he couldn't, he still had his most proud Sagittarius. The Emperor silently thought of his most perfect son in his heart. With Horus, he would definitely be able to protect them. But somehow, Hogg appeared next to Sagittarius.

"I know, but I believe in you, Hogg. You are also my most proud child. You will help me complete the cause of mankind, right?"

The emperor looked at the offspring under him who always contradicted him, and for the first time he longed for his affirmation, affirmation of his career and his love for his child.

Seeing the emperor having a seizure and saying disgusting words again, Hogg felt nauseous. He punched him in the stomach and left the scene silently.

But the Emperor still heard Hogg's muttering in the distance.

"I really owe you in my last life, old Biden! But you are my cheap dad after all."

For the first time, the Emperor felt how wise his decision was to make Hogg a genetically good Primarch. Those rubbish could never defeat him in this regard.

"I was once the most beautiful scenery in Rome, a lecturer on human nature known as the 'She-Wolf'! With just one sentence, I could make others conquer the city for me."

The Emperor standing on the high platform laughed wildly, and the Death Guards below felt that they had won the recognition of the Lord of Mankind, and they cheered warmly.

Even Mortarion changed his mind about his father, kneeling on one knee and swearing allegiance to the Emperor.

At this moment, the Emperor felt that he had won. The overlord of this galaxy must belong to humans, and he also liked Mortarion a lot more.

Since Mortarion had just returned to the Legion, he now had to quickly get familiar with his offspring, so he returned to the Endurance, which had been renamed.

Hogg, who was left alone, sat silently on the Stormbird and returned to the Blacklight alone.

"Oh! Everyone is busy, it's better to be busy!"

Hogg sighed as he slumped on the sofa, curling himself up into a ball, looking like a lazy corgi taking a nap.

He couldn't understand why Mr. Huang, who had a negative emotional quotient, suddenly became so smart and made himself helpless with a straight shot.

"Have I been bewitched by him? How despicable! If you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? You deserve to be beaten up by the debt collectors and become a high-level paraplegic. You have to sit on the toilet for ten thousand years."

"I don't know what happened to Pepe. Oh, by the way! Didn't he give me a talking device?"

He quickly took out the speaker from his pocket dimension. According to Hogg's observation, it was a relic from the dark technological era, like a walkie-talkie that children played with.

When the huge red button in the middle of the speaker was pressed, a hissing sound of electricity was heard, mixed with a roar of artillery fire.

But soon Perturabo's voice was heard:

"Can you hear me, Hogg? Tell me what you want to say."

"Pepe! The Emperor is sick and he's playing the emotional card with me. He hasn't beaten me for a day. I feel something is wrong. I suspect he has Alzheimer's. How about we break up..."

"You &%￥#@*&"

Hearing Perturabo's angry roar, Hogg silently turned off the speaker.

"As expected, happiness can be transferred. Thank you, Perturabo."
