Thanos didn't want to be a villain.

Chapter 117 Warhammer—The Emperor is Heartbroken

Warhammer World, Terra.

The war of unification ended, the Thunder Warriors were purged, and the Primarch in the laboratory beneath the Himalayas was swept away by the warp storm.

Now that the warp storm has begun to subside, the Emperor who unified Terra has begun preparing for the Great Crusade, and will also take the opportunity to retrieve the Primarchs who were swept away by the warp storm!

Just as the Emperor boarded the ship, a spatial portal opened right in front of him on the deck!

Before the Emperor could even give the order, the Imperial Guards following closely behind him had already stood in front of him with their power halberds, and the Astartes behind them also took up their explosive guns and got into position. Even the Emperor himself drew his longsword and activated his power claw!

And the leader of the Imperial Guard was none other than Constantine Waldo, the first commander who wielded the Spear of Apollo!

The Emperor gazed intently at the scene before him, which resembled a spatial collapse. He had never seen anything like it before, and psionic light flickered in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, please retreat immediately. The escape pods are ready..." Chancellor Makado anxiously grabbed the Emperor's belt, intending to pull him back, but the Emperor did not move.

The Emperor shook his head and removed Makado's hand.

“No need. I don’t see any filth from the Warp on this thing. Besides, something similar has appeared in the Warp.” The Emperor explained, and his words gradually calmed Macardo’s expression, causing him to slowly withdraw his hand.

Just then, footsteps came from the other side of the portal.

The footsteps grew closer and closer, and everyone could tell that there were quite a few footsteps coming from the other side; it was an entire army approaching!

Everyone was on high alert, ready to charge at the enemy army if they came out with hostility!

But when they saw the group of people coming out from the other side, everyone was stunned.

because……

They were also imperial guards!

The same golden armor and power halberd, and even the same height, left the Emperor completely bewildered.

What's going on? Could it be another emperor on the other side?

wrong!

What did the emperor think of?

Time is extremely chaotic in the subspace. You might go in one moment and come out a hundred or even a thousand years in the past!

“It’s possible this is a royal guard unit from the future!” the Emperor said calmly, his longsword slowly falling, and the lightning on his power claws dimmed.

The others were somewhat surprised by the Emperor's words. Waldo turned around and, together with Macardo, came to the Emperor and asked, "Your Majesty, is what you say true?"

The Emperor shook his head as he watched the Imperial Guards emerge one after another: "I'm not sure either. Although time is extremely chaotic in the warp, they don't bear any remnants of warp power, so I don't know either..."

As he spoke, the emperor's mouth opened slightly, revealing an expression of disbelief.

Upon seeing this, Waldo and Macardo hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty! What has happened?"

"Their souls did not have a projection in the warp!"

“！！！”x2

Soon, the footsteps of the Imperial Guards inside the portal were about to end, but then an even louder sound of footsteps came from behind!

Several robots, each about ten meters tall, gradually emerged from inside!

"Iron Man?"

The moment these robots emerged, not only the Emperor but everyone else was momentarily shocked.

After all, the Iron Man rebellion and the Warp Storm during humanity's Golden Age were the beginning of humanity's descent into darkness!

Therefore, modern humans have a natural malice towards all intelligent machines and programs.

"No, they are not iron men!" In an instant, everyone, including the Emperor, denied it.

They had encountered Iron Men before; there were some remaining Iron Men on Terra, and fighting them was quite difficult. But these robots were different from those Iron Men just by their appearance.

The emperor, however, couldn't help but twitch his face.

As the longest-living immortal being among humankind, he naturally recognized what was before him.

Transformers!

I've also seen the animated series The Emperor. After all, it was a hugely successful IP created in the 20s that caused a sensation throughout Europe and America at the time.

Hundreds of these Transformers walked out and filled the entire empty deck before stopping.

Then came the sound of a person's footsteps.

Everyone was somewhat surprised when the person came out.

His height of about two meters is too great compared to the emperor's height of four or five meters.

But in other respects, he is very similar to the emperor.

Long, flowing hair, a suit of golden armor, and an indifferent expression...

cough cough.

Makado moved his throat uncomfortably.

“No, his armor is thinner than mine.” The Emperor’s eyes turned to Makado, the implication of which was self-evident.

Makado awkwardly picked at his toes and looked away.

I was secretly wondering what would happen if the boss found out!

After the other party came out, the spatial gate closed.

At that moment, the emperor felt a suction force, as if his soul was about to be absorbed into it.

That wasn't the kind of suction you see in the real world, but rather...

Subspace!

The emperor gaped in astonishment. What had he seen?

In the subspace, a black hole appeared beside him, distorting all matter in the subspace just like a real black hole in the real world.

It even formed something resembling a real planet, suspended in subspace!

The four gazes that had noticed this place deep in the subspace were instantly blinded by the energy within, and let out miserable screams.

After doing all this, the black hole stopped moving as if it had fallen into a deathly silence.

After the inexplicable suction disappeared, the emperor composed himself and walked up to the Imperial Guards.

Dio then approached the Emperor.

The two gazed at each other, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Emperor's height gradually decreased until he was the same as Dio's.

Dio extended his hand, and the Emperor raised his hand to shake Dio's.

"Nice to meet you. Let me introduce myself. My friends call me Dio, and those who dislike me call me Thanos!"

The Emperor's face fell even more. The name Thanos was still very familiar to him, after all, Marvel and DC were once world-renowned IPs.

“They call me King of Men, but you can call me Sigmar Heldenhammer.”

"Just call me Sigmar."

The emperor realized the name was too long, so he quickly changed it.

The two met and had a very pleasant conversation.

After the Emperor learned of Dio's name, he inquired about it. Dio had no intention of hiding it. Besides seeking Hela, he also wanted to win over the Emperor, so he told him everything he knew about Warhammer.

Of course, he also revealed his identity in full.

When the Emperor learned that his world was merely a work of science fiction, even his iron will couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Dio noticed his unusual behavior and comforted him, "My world is just a comic book to you, isn't it? Besides, I'm the ruler of the universe, an absolute villain!"

"You know, I was just an ordinary person in the 2K era. It was bad enough that I was transported to Marvel, but I also became a major villain."

As he spoke, Dio shrugged and gave a strange look.

The emperor almost laughed at what he saw.

Dio dared not say that it was only because he had just briefly dealt a heavy blow to the four peddlers that they would not constantly be testing the Emperor's eyes that he dared to tell the Emperor.

Of course, Dio shielded himself from the surroundings.

For now, it's best if only he and the Emperor know; the consequences for anyone else to find out would be no less than opening the door to see the Grey Knight.

The Emperor nodded: "I understand what you mean, but I still find it hard to accept such a future."

"There's nothing we can do. After all, your story is a tragedy at its core. If we change the plot, people won't be able to sell it."

The truth is the ultimate weapon; the ancients were right.

Sure enough, as soon as Dio finished speaking, the emperor's expression became even more sorrowful.
