The Longest Short Bus. Chapter 56
🕑 Added 2025-02-04 14:03:47 +0000 UTCWith the extra two thousand Sister's of Battle being added to our retinue, I literally had to build another larger although more mundane church aboard the ship as only some thousand could squeeze into the true holy sanctum.
And the other sister's were using the holy sanctum as a sort of reward system as they briefly cycled the new Sister's though it after they had their genetic testing... Which led to them creaming their panties in religious fervor at seeing the Emperor's statue aflame with his own might.
And then continue moving them along for to be otherwise processed into my ship and assigned cabins, and moved into their assigned units.
"Hmm... Combining Guardsmen and Sister's of Battle, I currently have close to ten thousand units on board." I mused to myself as looking at it organically it was a huge number of people on my ship.
But then again my ship was several miles long and still had room for four times that number of soldiers with how I didn't have slaves/serfs or worse Servitor taking up space with their inefficient movements and lives.
As I made sure to automate everything possible from maintenance, food, and everything else I could.
However... In reality, a Chaos Warband was likely to be much larger in Astartes with their cultists, slaves chaos creations and monsters. But that number difference was why I had gone so far in enhancing my Guardsmen, and the Sister's of Battle.
That number difference would also be dealt with via the Jeager's and the legions of Titan's I had in production. "Now... How do I kill that little shit Erebus when he is on the Demon World Sicarus where his Primarch, and Kor Phaeron are there?" I mused to myself.
There was a tension in the air as the Custodian who heard me muttering leaned in with a heavy voice filtered through his vox speaker. "You know where the Word Bearer Arch Traitor is?"
I gave the Custodian a dull look before I said flatly. "He only left the world to deal with minor issues and has been there since the Heresy. With how corrupted the world is however and all it's protections both fel and by the Dark Mechanicus. I don't think I can just blow up the planet itself."
As the world was a Chaos Undivided planet, it had the attention and protection of the four Chaos gods. I would need to get their attention elsewhere very heavily, and I hope Tzeentch would let me blow up the planet even still.
Or I would need to have a way to send a planet-killing weapon to the surface of the corrupted shrine world without them noticing.
Then I had an idea!
Getting the attention of the Lion with how much of a fucking control freak he was. Was a fucking terrible idea to say the least. But there was another Primarch, another one who had spent the last ten millennia hunting Lorgar the demon primarch of the Word Bearers.
I exhaled with annoyance as I looked to the Custodian. "I am going to summon the spirit of the Primarch Corvus Corax when we reach orbit... I am going to need all your brothers to keep me safe as he isn't exactly in the most mentally stable state." I ordered.
The custodian who was the sole occupant of my study at this time besides myself gave a short nod before he said. "How mentally unstable is he? Is he likely to instantly attack us?"
I shrugged and with a heavy exhale I said quietly. "He... He embraced his psychic gifts when he went into the Warp to hunt down the traitor legions and Lorgar in particular. From the visions I have seen, he has lost much of his human form while he is hunting at least, and resembles a large raven."
Summoning Corvus Corax was a... Major fucking risk as god knows how remotely sane he was as the only information I had on him currently beyond the mystical knowledge I had to summon a portion of his spirit to our ship with how he had embraced his spiritual form.
Was him going on a 10,000-year crusade to kill the Traitor legions and when he did run into them? He would mangle and slaughter them without any issues, he even almost killed Lorgar when they did meet within the last couple of centuries.
I took out my data slate and checked my messages and alerts to check for issues until the Custodian grunted and said. "The Shield Host Captain agreed with your plan. Having the Raven Lord act as vanguard and distraction to make an alpha strike upon Lorgar would be for the best."
My lips twitched as I said wryly. "Blowing up Sicarius is a fool's errand... Even if we did, it's highly likely the Four within the Warp would just teleport the planet away should I throw a black hole at it like with how the bird saved the Thousand Son's home planet."
I took a deep breath and said quietly. "No. We are going to have to play their own games and fight on the planet most likely. I fucking hate Chaos, I need to make a holy nuke or something." I grunted with exasperation.
And the Custodian helpfully said flatly. "That frustration you feel is the frustration ten millennia of Inquisitors have felt Jake Bariss."
I brushed a hand across my face before shaking my head. "Whatever, alright get your brother's ready. We are taking off in half an hour and I need to prep the Holy Sanctum to perform the ritual to summon one of the Emperor's lost sons."
Leaving my study... I couldn't help an idle thought.
'If that fucking hack Fabius Bile can mass produce Primarchs, so can I revive the lost ones. Let's see how Fulgrim that snake fuck reacts to me bringing back Ferris Mannus. As all I need to do is make him a new body and then summon his Warp-God soul back into said body.'

A theory i think is very fucking likely. After all one of the glimpses we've seen of the damned has a headless mofo with a hate boner for the emperors children. Of that isn't a neon sign saying he's ferrus I don't know what is. Also to really fuck with fulgrim just point out how big of a failure he is. He failed to convince rylanor to join him, failed to convince ferrus to join him, and gets rocked like a bitch during the Siege of Terra. Plus he's not even a true primarch. He's a demon who got mind fucked into thinking he's fulgrim after possessing his body. Trayzn has the true soul of fulgrim in his museum.... fulgrim vs fulgrim fight? Or reignite the bromance and have ferrus and true fulgrim double team demon fulgrim like the little bitch he is.

All his forces, sisters and guard, is everyone getting upgrades and if so will everything be done in time for the first conflict?

For who? The new sister's of battle?
Azazyel
Ferrus Mannis would definetly be a glue eating titan honestly
Azazyel
It's a fan theory.
AWG
Also can't wait to see if he gets Stellaris tech, there's some bullshit in there
AWG
Isn't Ferrus Manus leader of the original legion of the damned or did I hear that from a theory channel and forget that it isn't real lore
Rauko the varment

The holy nuke you mention makes me think of the planet killer weapon you can make in SPORE.

I pray to the Emperor that we will get fem Corvus due to a fuck up in the summoning.

Leeeets goo Edit: On the other hand, the great raven could pop out perfectly safe but rather irritated until you tell him some important facts, the presence of custodians might give him pause for a moment at least. What kind of a time schedule is Jake from state farm looking at for full genetic transformation/upgrade and full kitting out of all units in upgraded weapons and armor? Will he have plenty of extra time or is he cutting it really close?
