It has been a few months to even now a year has passed after seeing the video, despite conquering so many planets, freeing so many of their beloved kind, killing malevolent Xeno's and unexplainable entities that can shake a human to its core, they cannot get the idea out of the monster they have seen alongside there Father.
Half were experiencing still the same when they left the theatre, the feeling that at every turn that a possibility that they would come unto a planet with a being like that shakes up their own belief's, their own Father was a God, one that even the staunchest of Primarch's cannot deny but it has been shaken up by seeing the beast.
It was magnificent, awe-inspiring, and downright powerful in its way, the way that it destroyed the humans of its planet with little to no regard whatsoever, weapons that his own brothers thought of making and were even the imagination of what could have been the federation was once was, mech's and ships that has the potential to beat there own even when there's was powerful, beams of light and missiles that even now are being recreated by my brother's with horrifying ease as if rivaling in obsession, but still were no match for the things the creature did.
The ability to self replicate other parts of his body into dragons that were seemed very reminiscent of the dragon's of Vulkan's world, with one stomp created an Electromagnetic Pulse fried every single device, with horrifying ease, a laser that is so thin and yet managed to make our laser weapons even on the ships look like mere sticks, even our brother, Magnus, has theorized that not even an Exterminatus will kill this beast and adding more is that his breath of fire will even reach our ships from orbit, but also the halo barrage that eviscerated everything, the spinal scattershot, the tail wave and the wind roar was the last straw that really reeled them in.
To this day, they are experimenting on how to replicate it all but little to no progress, it has even shaken Lorgar that in one time, he saw science books, documents, and even the studies of the
"Well at least something came out of this rather than the obsessions which we all have after seeing it", The level of power this beast brings is beyond our comprehension and also noteworthily so that we should see it with acceptance but also a way to create it for our own.
"Brother, are you alright?", I turned to look to my side and it's Alpharius, adorned in his armor with his spear beside him, one that they bought used with frequency as even when twins, they still use the same weapons.
"I am fine", my words were the same as always when I look to the window to see my soldiers working and training, to hone their skill's, to be worthy in my eyes even though they are already worthy but it still needed and wanted in an uncaring world.
"You seemed to be troubled, is it because of the video we watched", my brother has a knack for looking for the littlest of things in others, that is why he is my trusted interrogator and spy for worlds undocumented alongside Corvus, although the two had a knack for kicking each other in the curve that I had to separate them into groups and lead there own operations they still answer to me.
"You know why, it still bothers me, everything about that creature defies everything we see to be what it is supposed to be",
"I suppose that this creature is out there, lurking? Brother, it seemed to exists from another world as from my talk's with Father that the nation it is attacking is long destroyed city of Japan, a pre-federation nation", that really piqued my interest that the Emperor knew of such place but it is understandable, he is from that age after all.
"Do not fret about monsters that do not exist in our brother but I agree with you with that understanding, the creature is the most powerful that not even our titans or even ships can possibly match", Alpharius has memories of the creature, stomping on everything and even manage to move despite its size which is amazing, which is why is noteworthy that they replicate the powers of the creature and even theorize the evolution of it and it is enormous that even Magnus, from what he can see, is also having a hard time believing it despite working in the magics of the warp alongside Russ but he on the hand, see it as the manifestation of the planet and it already invigorated his own belief to nigh madness that his own world too has that power, which is very concerning as he is becoming like Lorgar when Lorgar is changing because of it.
"In other words, the planet itself", the idea that the creature from what they spoke and saw was theorized by Russ and we can see merit in what he said, the very skin of the creature is that of the earth itself, the very beast it spawned from the very blood and flesh of the planet and like the planet can shape everything to his will, if left unchecked, which also adds another ability, Terraformation.
He also frowned about what he sees but not could be said for both Perturabo and Rogal Dorn, the very idea that that earth itself is a powerhouse in the given form gave them enough motivation to start their own versions, walls that even bolters cannot penetrate, lasers of power that they begin to design that can repel weapons out of the sky before they can even hit the target, or the fortress itself tanking to near-infinite amounts of firepower and it is still coming as from what Omegon said,
"They seemed to be creating versions of it, albeit smaller, but of the same design", in one, he can see Perturabo's design that of pure Metals and Iron's, adding to the large blasters and even implementing ship like weapons but also creating new energy resources and so many more that his own soldiers have said to be of concerned for there Primarch but cannot be done so as they still follow and even requested my own to help, of which I am busy at the moment due to the pacification of the planets, it seemed that only me, Guiliman, Angron, Corvus, the twin's, Konrad, and to Sangguinius were able to control ourselves although we have already sent our top scientist to work on such products at the moment.
Rogal's designs were that of walking "turtle's " which is and humanoid parts, funny but very effective, and like Perturabo is now on the same par as him as from what he can see, he wants to create a walking fortress but not very easy to destroy like the other Imperial titans and mech's at the moment they have, and like Vulcan who has been interested in recreating all of this organically especially the dragons to help his world become more habitable, his was a more humanoid that it even scared some of the Mechanicus of heresy but because he is the son of the Emperor, they cannot do a damned thing.
He had seen what these other mechs can do, help the marine's during times of trouble, support, and even mass produce them but because of resources at the moment, he counted them as just in the thousands and stayed that way as his brother assumed him that it is sufficient,
"The problem with these brothers is resources and the Mechanicus grinding on my end but they can be quelled and at this end, I will see it through", and like the both of them have begun to upgrade the armaments they have, researching energies but not on the Warp level as they see it as disdainful and dirty that it would corrode there own, and have even asked Father, although he is too wary, he had allowed them but not on the warp and they can accept that too if they can still continue.
Ferrus and Fulgrim too were in on this and like both have worked together for the benefit of both, he seemed to be interested in the powers of the vehicles and another weapon's that Fulgrim too weight in as well, the latter's reason was because of the small but fast mech that seemed to be, in his own words, "It is the most beautiful arsenal that I have ever seen Brother and I will see to it created as well, shamed that it was destroyed but it can still be created by our hand", and he is not wrong in that regard and we all are working everything we can to create our own.
But all of us have one weapon in mind that seemed to them out of reach, the laser's the beasts creates and the power it brings, the power to level if have enough power to bring down continents and even planets to even multiple in one single blow and it is only the beginning, one that can even bring down enemies and secure our power amongst the stars, one that can even bring us closer to total domination, but I also fear that day we will turn against each other, in which I also fear as well with this newfound knowledge we have found.
I sighed, "I miss the old day's brother, I fear that this grandeur and knowledge will be the death of us", I look at my clawed gauntleted hand, crackling with powers and my own new invention and inspiration from the beasts itself,
"Horus, do not fret about this, we all seen its power but we cannot have this on our heads, me, my twin Corrax and even to a lesser extent Konrad are already working on monitoring them, even Guilliman is too working with us alongside Sangguinius and even the Emperor as well", the only thing I have not seen work to this much is Vulkan, which seemed very dismissive but at the same time intrigued, especially at the ability of the beasts to terraform, which he could see light a fire in his eyes,
"I wonder what is Vulkan hiding?", Alpharius, send your twin to Vulkan and spy on him for information on what he has been doing",
"I have already done that brother and he seemed to be only interested in the ability of the monster to terraform and aside from what weapons, that still remains to be seen but for Russ, it is very concerning", I look at him and he seemed very concerned indeed.
"What about Russ?",
"He seemed to obsess, he says that he must also awaken his own planet's avatar like the beast and he seemed to always be surrounded by his priests aka psyker's", now that is very concerning and etching at the edge of sanity,
"Perhaps I will have to visit Russ at the moment then, the operation of this will be in Guilliman's hand until I come back", he nodded and radioed into Guilliman and of which Guilliman accepted, and along the way his guard is to on his side, marching mechanically and with precision, "Oh and brother, it seemed the Emperor as well maybe coming as well",
I was surprised but at this rate, it can no longer be contained, it seemed that Russ is becoming a problem.
"I hope that it will not be too late"
