A Core Ship From The Start
Chapter 1027 - Chapter 1027 Chapter 705 Master of 500 Worlds_2

Chapter 1027: Chapter 705: Master of 500 Worlds_2 Chapter 1027: Chapter 705: Master of 500 Worlds_2 Even in a two-on-one fight, they could still be killed in a counterattack.

Once again, it was proven that the “model students” weren’t stereotypically bad at fighting for nothing…

However, even such a good man as Duanmu Huai was stupefied on the spot upon hearing the news brought by Luo Ken and the other Star Warriors.

“I simply can’t believe it.”

Mr. Kiriman, standing in front of Duanmu Huai and others, was a Star Warrior of a stature not much different from an ordinary person. His appearance was plain, but he possessed an ordinary kind of handsomeness, similar to the air of a monarch on ancient silver coins. He was different from Fulgrim, sharp as a ritual dagger, and unlike the angelic Saint Giles, but he had an astounding presence and honesty.

This was what Duanmu Huai liked most about Kiriman. Most other Genetic Prototypes did not regard ordinary humans as equals; they believed they were fighting for The Emperor, and the Imperial realm belonged to The Emperor. As for those ordinary humans, they were deemed meaningless. Frankly, if The Emperor ruled over a host of lizards instead of humans, these Prototypes wouldn’t care about such trivialities.

But Kiriman didn’t think so; he respected the will of ordinary humans, acknowledged their greatness, and even sought to learn from their excellence.

Nevertheless, at that moment, this Genetic Prototype too showed a stunned, even shocked, expression. It wasn’t just him; the Limit Warriors beside him felt the same way–if it had just been Luo Ken, Taviz, or Garo making baseless accusations, they would not have believed them. But there were many Star Warriors aboard the Eisenstein, their worn bodies, armor scarred by gunfire, and that war footage–they had witnessed with their own eyes how World Eater and its Prototypes had launched an attack on those soldiers and how they had fled.

Of course, this included…

At this thought, everyone looked at Duanmu Huai with complex expressions. They saw how Duanmu Huai had furiously beaten Angellon and killed him. It must be said, this scene was so astonishing that Kiriman took a long time to calm down. The death of a Genetic Prototype was previously unthinkable, but now they had seen it.

Similarly, the betrayal of a Genetic Prototype was equally unimaginable, and yet they had also seen that.

“This… is just your side of the story.”

Soon after, a Limit Warrior captain swallowed hard as he stared at the others and spoke.

“We indeed saw your battle with the World Eaters, but that alone doesn’t prove they are traitors. Strictly speaking, you who were cornered by the Genetic Prototypes might seem more like the traitors who disobeyed orders, wouldn’t you?”

“You…”

Luo Ken wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Duanmu Huai.

“Indeed, evidence can be interpreted in two ways. We don’t deny that perhaps we are the traitors. This war footage is real, and we might simply be trying to fool you into making the wrong judgment about traitors, leading to fratricide among brothers.”

Duanmu Huai spread his hands out.

“See, a reasonable analysis.”

It was only with Kiriman that Duanmu Huai would speak so calmly and peacefully. With others like Ryan or Dorn, Duanmu Huai wouldn’t hesitate to start mocking them.

You listen or not, I couldn’t care less.

“However, you want evidence, and as it happens, I do have evidence.”

Luckily for Duanmu Huai, he truly had evidence.

“You have evidence?”

Kiriman stared at Duanmu Huai, his gaze enough to make any ordinary man tremble, but Duanmu Huai wasn’t bothered.

“Of course, or rather, you will see it soon enough… But before that, Mr. Kiriman, I want to ask you, has the Whisperer arrived yet?”

“How did you know…”

Upon Duanmu Huai’s inquiry, Kiriman paused, then suddenly seemed to realize something.

“Wait, you mean…”

“The Whisperer was the first among all Legions to betray The Emperor and pledge allegiance to the Chaos Evil God. Ares was also the mastermind behind Horus’s betrayal. You might think their mission here is to mend the relationship between the Whisperer and the Limit Warriors, but…”

At this, Duanmu Huai gave a cold laugh.

“…but in truth, that’s not the case. For the Whisperer, they’ve come for revenge, and I believe you’re well aware of the reason.”

“…”

Hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, Kiriman looked troubled. As Duanmu Huai had pointed out, the relationship between the Limit Warriors and the Whisperer was far from good. The reason was simple: the Whisperer zealously promoted the belief in The Emperor’s divinity, angering The Emperor. Thus, The Emperor ordered the Limit Warriors to destroy the Whisperer’s home planet, Perfect City. Kiriman was reluctant to carry out such an action, but he complied with the command and obliterated Perfect City.

In fact, players who studied this part of history later suspected The Emperor did this deliberately–as a rule, such dirty work was usually left to the Space Huskies, like when Magnus rebelled, and the Space Huskies were sent to burn his home planet. Indeed, this kind of demolition was always the Huskies’ specialty.

So, logically, if The Emperor wanted this done, there was no need to specifically send the Limit Warriors when he could have had the Huskies tear it down.

As to why The Emperor did this, the conclusion gamers came to after much debate was that he was probably suffering from senile dementia.
