Those two words were squeezed from Sanguinius's throat, trembling with the weight of ten thousand pounds being lifted.
He knelt there, this most perfect angel of the galaxy, for the first time, like a child who had been lost for ten thousand years and finally found his way home.
A smile of gratification appeared on Leticia's face.
She walked up to him, looking down at this half-kneeling, towering demigod, her voice incomparably gentle.
"You will not regret today's decision."
"From now on, your sorrow will have an end, and your anger will have a destination."
She reached out and placed her hand gently on Sanguinius's lowered long hair, which resembled a golden waterfall.
"System, start the rescue program."
Leticia issued the most concise command in her heart.
"Rescue program initiated... Target: Primarch Sanguinius."
"Warning: Modifying a target of this level will generate an astronomical amount of energy consumption. Please confirm, Host."
"Confirm."
Leticia's will did not waver in the slightest.
She took Terrania's small hand beside her, and the two of them looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding.
The next second, a divine power, far more majestic and vast than any previous time, resonated between the two of them with a boom!
Boom!
With Leticia and Terrania as the center, four rays of creation light, each a different color yet sharing the same origin, shot into the sky like four awakened ancient divine dragons!
The pinkish-purple radiance, bewitching and sacred, was the power of Divine Charm, the paintbrush that reshaped all "forms"!
The crimson-gold radiance, violent and pure, was the power of Battle Intent, the furnace that defined all "anger"!
The deep blue radiance, profound and vast, was the power of Intellect, the key that parsed all "rules"!
The emerald-green radiance, gentle and majestic, was the power of Vitality, the sweet spring that healed all "scars"!
The four-colored divine light swirled and intertwined high above, finally turning into a pillar of light that reached from heaven to earth, crashing down and completely enveloping the kneeling Sanguinius!
Fogremia and Angronia immediately stood on either side.
They didn't say a word, but simultaneously released their own power, acting like two most loyal gatekeepers, protecting this cosmic-level "surgery."
In Angronia's amber pupils, the crimson-gold light was reflected; she could feel the power contained within it, which was of the same origin as her own but even more magnificent.
"Is this... the Goddess's anger..."
Fogremia narrowed her perfect purple eyes; she could clearly "see" that within the pillar of light, Sanguinius's supposedly perfect genetic chain was being dismantled, analyzed, and then... reorganized in a way she could not understand.
"This is not repair..."
"This is... re-creation!"
This realization made her, an "artist" who pursued perfection, feel a trembling and frenzy from the depths of her soul for the first time.
Inside the pillar of light.
Sanguinius felt it.
He felt a gentle yet domineering force that could not be resisted, pouring into every cell and every genetic fragment of his body.
First was the deep blue light of Intellect.
It was like billions of the most precise scalpels, accurately finding that polluted genetic defect known as the "Black Rage" and "Red Thirst."
Then, mercilessly, it completely stripped it away from the root!
"Ugh, ahhh!"
Intense pain!
An intense pain, as if his soul was being torn alive, made Sanguinius let out a suppressed roar!
That was an innate curse that had long since merged with him; now that it was being forcibly stripped away, the pain was unimaginable!
But immediately after, the emerald-green light of Vitality rushed into the torn wound like a warm tide.
All pain and all trauma were quickly smoothed and healed in the face of this majestic Vitality.
A destruction, a creation.
In this destruction and creation, the original sin that had plagued the Blood Angels for ten thousand years was completely eradicated!
Sanguinius felt as if he had unloaded a mountain that had been pressing on his soul for ten thousand years; an unprecedented sense of relief made him almost faint on the spot.
But this was just the beginning.
The crimson-gold light of Battle Intent, like the hottest liquid gold, poured into every corner of his genetic chain.
It did not create anything new.
Instead, it moved the most precious "passion" of the Blood Angels from a wrong target and re-calibrated it!
"Trigger condition correction: From 'despair', 'powerlessness'... corrected to... 'protection', 'love'!"
"Anger orientation correction: From'self-destruction'... corrected to...'sacred fire'!"
The cold system prompt only rang in Leticia's mind.
But Sanguinius could clearly feel that the beast named "anger" deep in his soul was being tamed, and was being given a brand new leash!
Finally, there was the pinkish-purple light of Divine Charm.
It was like the greatest sculptor, holding the most perfect carving knife, starting to perform the final, and most critical... meticulous carving on this "divine material" from which all flaws had been removed.
Sanguinius's tall and burly body began to change at a speed visible to the naked eye within the light.
The hard muscle lines became slender and soft.
The broad shoulders narrowed slightly, outlining a perfect arc.
The originally peerlessly handsome facial features had their sharp angles wiped away bit by bit, becoming more delicate and softer, replaced by a female beauty that mixed divinity and compassion, enough to make everything in the world pale in comparison.
His Adam's apple disappeared, and his chest slowly rose, outlining breathtaking curves.
His originally brilliant golden long hair, nourished by the light, became even more dazzling and supple, like flowing sun.
The entire remodeling process was without a hint of blood or hideousness.
It was like the most perfect miracle of creation.
A great work of art was slowly being born under everyone's gaze.
Leticia's face was slightly pale.
Maintaining such a vast miracle was a huge drain on her.
Terrania felt it, and she immediately transferred the pure life essence within her, originating from the Emperor, to Leticia without reservation and continuously.
"Sister..."
The little one's eyes were incomparably firm.
Leticia felt that warm power and smiled at her.
"It's okay, it's almost over."
It was also at this moment.
The changes inside the cocoon of light reached their peak!
That power of remodeling finally touched the iconic, huge angel wings on Sanguinius's back!
The originally snow-white wings dissolved inch by inch in the light, turning into the purest energy.
Immediately after, a more sacred, purer, and more powerful force burst forth from his newly born back!
The light reached its extreme at this moment!
The entire battlefield of Signus, soaked in blood, was completely illuminated by this light of creation, dyed with a layer of hopeful and sacred color!
All the demons and Blood Angels who were fighting couldn't help but stop their actions, looking at the source of the light in horror!
The next second.
Right under everyone's gaze!
A pair...
A pair of brand-new wings, even larger and whiter than before, with every feather seemingly composed of pure light and flowing with endless divine radiance, from that cocoon of light that was too thick to disperse...
Suddenly unfolded!
Whoosh!!!
The wings flapped, whipping up a wild wind of... Hope, mixed with the scent of lilies, that swept across the entire battlefield!
