Chapter 535

"You traitor..." Zabriel picked up the chainsword on the ground and shouted through gritted teeth.

"Lies." The man in the hood said coldly: "No one has ever dared to accuse me of being a traitor."

"I dare." Zabriel gripped the chainsword tightly and growled: "You betrayed us, you betrayed Caliban, you even betrayed the Imperium."

"Utterly ridiculous."

The man in the hood slowly raised the practice sword in his hand:

"You even killed my loyal offspring and snatched his weapon. The chainsword in your hand does not belong to you."

The object in the hooded man's hand was a block of metal without an edge, heavy and bulky, and difficult to cause real harm to the enemy.

But Zabriel did not doubt for a second that the sword could kill him; after all, the person holding the sword was sharper than any weapon.

"Ridiculous, your 'loyal' son wanted to kill me."

Zabriel sneered and laughed, his voice cold:

"They only wanted to cover up the truth for these ten thousand years. When I first woke up, there were a few loyal Sanguinius offspring traveling with me, and my loyal little brothers killed them without hesitation, just to cover up my existence."

"But I turned around and killed those traitors, avenging those true loyalists. This chainsword was snatched from the hands of those traitors hiding in the Imperium."

"My dear lord, if you think this is your loyal offspring, then you are truly a good teacher of your son."

"Simply ridiculous!!!"

The man in the hood growled. Zabriel seized this fleeting opportunity and swung the chainsword in his hand toward the man in front of him.

He knew the opportunity was only for an instant; either kill the Lion, or be killed by the Lion.

He could only pin his hopes on such a sudden attack, hoping to catch the Lion off guard and reveal a flaw.

Close!!!!

The chainsword pressed against the hooded man's neck, almost about to cut off this head.

But suddenly, Zabriel's chest felt a pain, as if he had been hit by a general's cannon, and his whole body flew backward, the chainsword in his hand slipping away and rolling back and forth on the ground a few times.

The man in the hood just swung a sword lightly, smashing it into Zabriel's chest, destroying Zabriel's carefully planned attack.

Zabriel had blood in his mouth, staring fixedly at the hooded man with a look of hatred.

The man stood beside Zabriel, seemingly observing and sizing up Zabriel.

The man slowly took off his hood, revealing that face.

Aged, age had re-sculpted that majestic face.

The Lion was completely different from what Zabriel remembered. The Lion of the past was so proud and terrifying. Now Lion's face was full of wrinkles and gray beard, but when Zabriel focused his energy, he could still see the endless glory and power behind that face.

"I do not know everything you said. I slept for ten thousand years. When I opened my eyes, the galaxy was already vastly different."

"My father was worshipped as a god, and another god who claimed not to be a god awakened me and healed me."

"After I woke up last time, I followed the Emperor's will and executed Lu Se, and now that I have woken up for the second time, it is to see you."

"The Dark Angels who are hunting you down, I have not seen them yet, nor do I understand them."

Zabriel opened his mouth slightly, and he was surprised to find that the Lion was explaining to him.

This... if the trembling of his bloodline did not tell Zabriel that the person in front of him was the Lion, Zabriel would have suspected that this was some Warp entity that had transformed into Lion's appearance.

Although it was an explanation, Lion's tone was still unquestionable, and Zabriel instinctively believed that what the Lion said was true.

"As for ten thousand years ago, when I returned to Caliban from Terra, you opened fire on us without any notification."

"And Lu Se... Lu Se was corrupted by those chaotic evils in the Warp, ugly and insane."

"Heh, when I returned to my homeland, all I saw was betrayal."

"When I woke up from my ten-thousand-year sleep, I also only saw betrayal."

"Are you still trying to kill me, Fallen Angels? Is that what they call you?"
