Chapter 581 Complex Needs
Guilliman has complete love, not only because he has received love, but also because he does not need love much.
This need is higher than Leman Russ, but much lower than Fulgrim.
Note the key word "much lower".
Fulgrim appeared in the turbulence of the warp and landed on a planet called Chemos. As a trading port, this planet lacks the ability to be self-sufficient. The warp storm blocked the route, and the planet suddenly fell into a terrible shortage of supplies.
Everything is for survival, and any spiritual pursuit is a wasteful luxury. As a baby, Fulgrim was found by the patrol team of Chemos. They were responsible for cleaning up orphans to save resources, but Fulgrim exuded an aura that made people want to protect him, and no one could be cruel enough to do it under Fulgrim's cute blow.
The scout took Fulgrim and sent him to a Chemos family to raise.
When Fulgrim grew up, he entered the factory. His intelligence was displayed in the workshop. He would improve the machine, restart the equipment, and most importantly, his body was filled with endless energy and enthusiasm.
Twenty-four hours of overtime is the limit of the timekeeping system, not Fulgrim's limit.
Through his wisdom and hard work, the productivity of Chemos has developed significantly, the problem of food and clothing on the planet has been solved, and the people can also meet their spiritual needs in their leisure time. Maybe the Chemos people will not become the best human model, but at least they can once again stand on the ground and look up at the stars.
The Emperor saw Fulgrim's success and appeared in front of Fulgrim. He congratulated Fulgrim's efforts and handed over the Third Legion to Fulgrim for command.
At that time, the Third Legion was on the verge of extinction, with only more than 200 people left. In addition to the losses caused by years of war, a gene seed defect called blight was also spreading in the legion. Those who were sick would randomly grow incurable tumors in their bones and organs, and finally the sick would slowly die.
Although Fulgrim knelt down to his offspring when he took over the legion and made a promise, he could not make the disease that tortured the warriors go away.
Although Fulgrim's existence provided genetic support for the creation of new warriors, Fulgrim had to choose between new warriors and old warriors.
But speaking of choice, he actually had no choice. In order to prevent the blight from spreading to the new batch of soldiers, Fulgrim could only grant eternal peace to each sick soldier.
So who would be responsible for treatment and euthanasia before Fulgrim returned to the Legion? It was Fabius Bile, a Legion pharmacist born on Terra who showed surgical talent at a young age.
He tried to save his brothers' lives from the disease, but could only sadly send off one friend after another. In the end, he also fell ill, became isolated and depressed, and was incompatible with the entire Emperor's Children Legion.
The phoenix will eventually rise from the ashes, and Fabius is the black bird that cries over the pile of cooling ashes.
Fabius didn't want to die like this. He had studied the blight for a long time and was also the oldest pharmacist in the entire new legion. He forged medical records and made a special life-extending drug to delay the countdown to his own demise.
The preparation of this drug requires proteins and enzymes extracted from the remains of his comrades, so he was cautious, fearing that the truth would be exposed and incur the wrath of the Primarch.
During the Battle of Laran, the Emperor's Children faced a type of alien called the Spurred, which would be genetically modified to adapt to different situations. This method undoubtedly awakened Fabius, and he violated the ban and secretly modified the gene seeds in the laboratory, trying to eliminate the existence of the blight from the root.
This experiment was discovered by Fulgrim, who looked at the nervous Fabius and just told him to be careful. If he was discovered, Fulgrim would not lend him any help.
It sounds unreasonable. How could a Primarch let an apothecary improve the gene seeds, but if we understand what happened to Fulgrim, his decision can be understood.
We said that when the Emperor's Children first came to Fulgrim, the entire legion had only more than 200 soldiers. These soldiers were not enough to support a battle, so before the reinforcements were complete, Fulgrim's Third Legion had been playing auxiliary in Horus's Sixteenth Legion.
Horus took good care of Fulgrim, and Fulgrim had a good relationship with Horus. But having a good relationship is one thing, and completing the Great Crusade is another. Fulgrim saw other legions gain merit in the vigorous Great Crusade, and his heart was filled with eagerness. He also hoped that he could step into the grand battlefield and show the best side of the Emperor's Children to the whole empire.
This perfection that began with the honor of the legion made the Emperor's Children a powerful legion. As the only legion that could use the double-headed eagle emblem as an ornament, Fulgrim vowed that his legion would be worthy of the gift of the Emperor.
They are like the Ultramarines Legion. Although they have not reached the pinnacle in one aspect, they also gather the strengths of hundreds of schools. While striving to become a model of warriors, Fulgrim did not forget to cultivate his offspring to become an outstanding artist.
He was very anxious, anxious that his offspring was not perfect. The offspring was also very anxious, anxious that they were far from meeting their father's requirements. This need for mutual encouragement and motivation can still make the legion develop in a positive direction in the early stages of the expedition, but later, this motivation began to get out of control.
The obsession with "perfection" troubled Fulgrim. He began to look down on his barbaric brothers, and his descendants also began to look down on the warriors of other legions.
Fulgrim's paranoia is more obscure and restrained than Perturabo's. Although you don't know what Perturabo is angry about, at least you can tell from his frown that the Lord of Steel is in a bad mood. But will Fulgrim show such obvious emotions? He won't. He will perfectly control his expression and show his most elegant and moving side to everyone. Only his flashing eyes and slightly trembling eyelashes reveal his resentment.
His anxiety is trapped in the cage of perfection. He won't talk to anyone, nor will he think that the perfection he pursues is wrong. He will only raise his eyebrows in contempt and say in a half-joking tone, "My brother is too barbaric."
Among many brothers, he and Horus are good friends. This kind of friendship does not have perfect commonality, but there is also a Primarch who shares the same pursuit with Fulgrim. They pursue perfection in different forms. This clever complementarity deeply attracts Fulgrim and makes the two of them have an extremely deep friendship.
This person is the Primarch of the Iron Hands, Finus.
Finus's appearance is not good-looking. He has a strong back and a tough dark skin. But this image does not make Finus look crude and short-sighted. Instead, it is integrated with his rough and persevering character, making up for Fulgrim's regret for the rough beauty.
Guilliman has a mother, Dorn has a grandfather, and Boss Pi has a sister (Boss Pi is a scum of the world)
