After waiting several days, Bruce, who was recuperating aboard the Remilia, received two pieces of good news at the same time.
The first was that he could participate in Isstvan, and continue contacting the other Primarchs as the Warmaster's representative.
The second was good news from the blue fat cat: Angron's new body had been completed!
Whether the former could truly be classified as good news was still somewhat debatable. But the latter was genuine good news. It meant that everyone now had one more card to play in suppressing the Isstvan rebel faction.
Angron and his World Eaters Legion were not to be underestimated.
What was more, this time, the one returning was the War Hound Angron with his brain intact!
So now, Bruce was not the only one looking forward to this. Even Horus, who was far away in Isstvan arranging the battlefield, was paying close attention.
"Old Wang, everything is ready. Next, we only need to place Lord Angron's soul into this device."
To ensure that the apparatus functioned properly, the blue fat cat had specially come aboard the Remilia.
This set of flesh-reshaping equipment was truly complex. There were six devices in total, and the cables and instruments linking them together were enough to make one's head spin.
But precisely because of that, it looked reliable and professional!
"What is this thing?"
Magnus was very interested in the equipment.
Because he discovered that among the blue fat cat's things, some were scientific creations, but others seemed to involve something else entirely. They simply did not belong to the category of psychic power.
Non-scientific creations that did not involve psychic energy?
This subject was far too interesting!
"Just an insurance measure. In short, we might as well try everything."
The blue fat cat did not hide anything and explained openly:
"Old Wang and I once visited a world."
"There was a family there that used homunculus technology. Although the strength of the dolls produced by that technology is not enough to match a Primarch's body, it has a powerful effect in stabilizing souls, so we incorporated it."
"If the new physical body fails to meet expectations, then we will activate the backup plan. Multiple bodies will serve as replaceable parts, allowing Lord Angron to first stabilize his existence in the material universe."
"The family you're talking about wouldn't happen to be the Einzbern family, would it?"
When Bruce looked at the golden cup placed at the end of the apparatus, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Good grief.
You even pulled out Type-Moon stuff?
You really aren't afraid of this blowing up, huh?
Six devices.
Two were from Type-Moon, two belonged to the blue fat cat himself, and the last two were unrecognizable, though they were probably also thinly borrowed tools from some other world.
Yet the blue fat cat could link these completely unrelated things together and achieve an effect where one plus one plus one might be greater than three.
Just that level of technical skill alone—
Set aside the final result for now.
You had to admit the blue fat cat had worked hard!
At the very least, he had truly produced a solution and attempted to improve its effectiveness. A colleague and subordinate who could handle matters like this was simply too reliable.
"As long as you know."
The blue fat cat nodded.
Bruce stared at the object that was suspected to be a Holy Grail and fell into thought.
"Of course, that Lesser Grail is also a proper component. Although it can't grant any wishes, it can provide us with abundant energy."
The blue fat cat explained.
"So it can only be used as a battery?"
"Correct. It's only a Lesser Grail, not a proper Holy Grail."
"After this is over, can I take it away for research?"
Magnus asked with a serious expression.
"Please. I'll do anything."
"No... This thing is too precious, and I only have one. If you take it away, what am I supposed to use?"
The blue fat cat looked troubled as he answered.
It was not that he was stingy. Rather, he felt that things that did not belong to this world, if revealed and accumulated in too many quantities, might attract something abnormal.
If some King of Figurines came knocking, wouldn't that be the end?
"Sigh! How can you be like this..."
Magnus sighed with a conflicted and sorrowful face.
"Can we begin?"
Angron coldly interrupted their conversation.
Shouldn't the urgent priority be preparing my body first?
It is not as if this is guaranteed to succeed on the first try.
"Let's begin."
The blue fat cat trotted over to the control console. While tapping parameters on the screen, he said:
"The process roughly goes like this. First, we extract Lord Angron's soul. Then the Lesser Grail temporarily preserves it. After that, it will be injected into the new body. Finally, we wait to see the compatibility rate between the two."
"As long as it reaches seventy percent, it counts as qualified. If it reaches ninety percent, then that's basically perfect!"
"Lastly, if it falls below seventy percent, the homunculus technology will temporarily store Lord Angron's soul, and then the backup plan will activate."
"Backup plan?"
Bruce was surprised that the blue fat cat had kept another card hidden.
"Why does seventy percent count as qualified?"
Curze was confused.
"Soul storage technology..."
Magnus, meanwhile, was focused on the technology's implementation and principles.
"I also prepared a doll. However, I'm not sure whether that thing is stable either. If all the above methods fail, we can only use it."
The blue fat cat first answered Bruce's question.
Then he said to Curze:
"Because Lord Angron's soul is already mature. It's completely different from when the Emperor originally created the gene-Primarchs. So seventy percent compatibility is already quite good."
"The software is too powerful. Without matching hardware, it can't really display its strength. Isn't that right?"
Finally, he explained Magnus's question.
"It's actually more like using abundant magical energy to wrap Lord Angron's soul, producing a protective effect. It's similar to the nitrogen gas inside a bag of potato chips. It can briefly protect the soul from being noticed by Chaos."
Once he finished speaking, the blue fat cat had also completed all the initial debugging.
As the hatch of the device in front of Magnus opened, it meant that the flesh-reshaping plan could officially begin.
"Lord Magnus, please place the item storing Lord Angron's soul inside."
"It won't disappear, right?"
Magnus reluctantly placed the piece of Originium inside.
At the same time, Angron's soul body also returned to the Originium.
This meant that he was ready.
"It won't."
The blue fat cat operated the console while saying:
"I won't do anything to the Originium itself. In theory, it should not be consumed at all."
As the blue fat cat's round hand slapped down on a red button, the equipment began flashing red. The screen began issuing broadcasts and progress bars.
[Soul confirmed. Executing protection procedure...]
[Generating body. Physique confirmed: extra-large...]
[Body printing in progress...]
Inside a cylindrical nutrient tank, a miraculous scene occurred.
Cells that had originally been nearly invisible to the naked eye rapidly transformed into an embryo. Immediately afterward came growth. When it reached the size of an infant, dozens of mechanical arms dismantled it again, then began stretching and extending it.
From bones, to nerves, to skin, human tissues were enlarged and assembled like components.
In the end, something one hundred percent identical to Angron was completed, occupying an entire biological chamber perfectly.
Such blasphemous technology caused displeasure in the two Primarchs, but they also understood that this was being done to save Angron.
Besides, when they themselves had been born, it had probably been something similar.
Technology was simply like that.
If it was useful to them, then it was good technology!
Who knew? Maybe one day, they themselves might need it.
"In theory, can this thing revive even us?"
Curze raised a question.
"Yes. As long as the soul can be preserved, no matter what happens to the physical body, this method can be used to revive someone. However..."
The blue fat cat warned very seriously:
"Even perfect compatibility is still inferior to the original body. Please remember that!"
"If the recruit dies one day, as long as this can save him, that's enough."
Curze said something quite terrifying in an indifferent tone.
Hm?
What do you mean, if I die one day?
Before Bruce could ask, the equipment screen suddenly emitted an ear-piercing alarm. The progress bar showed that the compatibility between soul and body was only around fifty percent, and no matter what, it refused to rise.
"Sigh. Why did it turn out like this?"
Seeing that the result was so poor, the blue fat cat could only continue adjusting.
When the second biological tank also began generating a body, everyone discovered that the homunculus meant as a fallback had begun undergoing obvious flesh mutation. The embryo uncontrollably turned into a deformed monster.
"Not good! Chaos has noticed our actions!"
Magnus looked at the defective product covered in eyes and immediately warned them.
"Don't panic! There's a contingency plan!"
With cold sweat pouring down his face, the blue fat cat protected the Originium, then activated the extermination procedure and decomposed the malformed biological waste.
"Chaos noticed that quickly?"
Bruce stared at Angron's temporarily intact body in frustration and said:
"Don't tell me we can only use this body with a compatibility rate that doesn't even reach sixty percent?"
"The Primarch's Warp essence is still too obvious. Don't worry. This body can be kept for now. Didn't I say there's another backup plan?"
The blue fat cat steadily activated another button.
Then, the Lesser Grail floating within the equipment began radiating rainbow-colored light.
At the very end, a device shaped like a coffin began pulsing, and the progress bar followed.
Thirty percent...
For some reason, when the progress bar reached ninety-nine percent, it refused to move no matter what. Everyone also noticed that the coffin-like device had begun emitting multicolored light.
Gold, red, blue, purple, and green alternated back and forth, none giving way to the others.
"Can that broken Grail really protect Angron's soul?!"
Bruce became anxious at the sight.
No matter how you looked at those lights, it seemed like those five big bosses were fighting each other.
Gah!
It must be the evil gods trying to steal Angron's soul and take him back to make him into a Daemon Primarch!
"It should be able to! Don't panic! This is just a technical adjustment!"
The blue fat cat continued operating the device while wiping sweat.
I said I can save Lord Angron, so I definitely can!
How could I possibly lie to you?
Maximum output! Activate————
The blue fat cat pushed the lever upward.
The equipment began running at overclocked output. The Lesser Grail visibly emitted even more dazzling magical radiance.
At this moment, the Remilia erupted with a light no less brilliant than an Astronomican beacon.
The five kinds of light shrouding the coffin began to dissipate.
Several seconds later, the progress bar reached one hundred percent.
The screen also displayed—
[Rebirth complete.]
"Phew! It's done!"
The blue fat cat breathed a sigh of relief.
"..."
Everyone looked expressionlessly at the blue fat cat.
"Why are you all looking at me like that?"
The blue fat cat asked in confusion.
"One question."
Curze pointed at the coffin, which was at most half the size of Angron, and asked:
"This thing is so small. How are you sure Angron has revived?"
"Well... I only guaranteed that he could be revived. I didn't guarantee what the body would look like, did I?"
"Are you some kind of omnipotent wish-granting machine that fulfills effects in a twisted way?"
Bruce could not help complaining.
"No, no, no. I think we should prepare for battle first. What if the one who comes out isn't Angron?"
Magnus recalled the five powers confronting one another just now and said with lingering fear.
"Indeed."
Curze summoned Gungnir and prepared herself for righteous extermination.
There was nothing they could do.
No one wanted this kind of thing to happen, but everyone had indeed worked hard to save Angron.
One could only say that this was his fate.
"Open it, blue fat cat. No matter what the result is."
Bruce nodded at the blue fat cat.
"All right!"
The blue fat cat tapped the activation device.
Pshh—
With a release of pressure, the mysterious black-and-white coffin device was successfully unlocked.
Bruce walked forward with heavy steps. Then he stretched out both hands and personally pushed open the lid marked with a cross.
At this moment, many questions surfaced in Bruce's mind.
Including, but not limited to, why this device had been made in the shape of a coffin, and what they should do if Angron had been corrupted by some Chaos God.
He had finally escaped the fate of slavery.
If this was still the ending, then was there truly no way to save him?
"Hm?!"
"Hm-hm?!!!"
Bruce looked at the thing inside the coffin and was so shocked that his entire body seemed to stretch taller.
"What is it?"
Seeing Bruce so startled, Curze hurried over.
When she looked inside and saw Angron, she made almost the exact same movement and reaction as Bruce.
"Hm?!"
"What happened to you two?"
Magnus also came forward.
Then she was equally shocked.
Holy crap!
You call this Angron?!
Mutation!
This was absolutely mutation!
It was time to carry out righteous extermination!
