Everyone was stunned.
They didn't dare to imagine what they had just heard, and they never thought that the surprise would come so quickly, so that they were completely unprepared for this sudden surprise.
【…Mother? 】
Kahn's voice trembled slightly, no one would have guessed that the cold and calm Xue Finger in the past could actually make such a sound.
The accompanying Astartes also fell into a daze. Their superhuman reaction only took a moment to know what had just happened, and the cabin suddenly fell into unspeakable silence.
This voice was too familiar to them, but they had not heard it for a long time. In an instant, the feeling of an alien life swept through the minds of each of the original body guards, so much so that the technical priests who were still debugging on the side were shocked. He couldn't help but cast a doubtful glance.
【it's me. 】
The cold female voice sounded again, instantly detonating the excitement hidden in the hearts of these space warriors.
That familiar and majestic figure appeared in front of them again.
She stepped into the sea of soul.
Some scattered water lines slowly spread, and the plump and round toes were slightly sunken into the white sand, dotting her ankles like pearls. Through the clear water, you can see her healthy wheat-colored skin.
The flowing red hair like a blazing flame is spread freely, and the loose fabric like the ancient Terra Roman robe sets off the burly yet plump figure of the Lord of the Red Sand. The diagonally spreading fabric texture also vaguely outlines a bit of strength. The outline of the tendons is like a proud queen, showing a calm and self-confident aura. The blond hair floating in the wet breeze is dyed with a slightly wet color, and some blood-like scarlet highlights can be vaguely glimpsed. .
At this moment, the former strong and heroic brows of the Lord of the Red Sands are now full of softness and kindness. The scarlet eyes that were once soaked with violence and indifference have become extremely soft, and the corners of the lips with a gentle curve are speaking gentle words. .
[I'm back, kids. 】
In front of her children, Elaine has always been a kind mother.
【Is it really you? Mother...please, please forgive me for being rude...we haven't heard your voice for too long. 】
[I can’t believe it... I didn’t expect Kahn’s prophetic dream to be right. We really meet you again on this land...]
【ha! That guy Greer must be very regretful now, not being able to come and be reunited with his mother like us. 】
[Greer needs to maintain order in the legion, I think mother will understand him. 】
…
In the eyes of ordinary people, the Astartes are strict and cold, but now they are noisy like chirping sparrows, constantly rotating around Elaine, or simply throwing themselves into her broad and warm arms, or chatting with their companions Joking around, the tension of being chased by a demonic world was completely resolved at this moment.
However, this is only what is presented from Elaine's perspective. Those Astartes who are bound by blood are no longer spoiled children, and their minds that have been honed by rigorous training and cruel wars are no longer. They will be allowed to exhibit any weak qualities.
However, the reflections of these warriors reflected by the pure water of the Sea of Souls are indeed full of strong longing for the Mother of Genes.
Elaine looked at the heirs surrounding her with relief, and her heart, which had gone through many cruel battles, could not help but feel a little warmer.
[It seems that you have experienced a lot during this time. 】
[Thank you, my children. 】
[...I really miss you. Ever since the war - I haven't heard your voice for a long time. 】
The gentle voice echoes in the sea of souls, which also symbolizes the official return of the Lord of the Red Sand.
[We have been looking forward to your return for a long time, mother. 】
[During this period of time, we have never stopped looking for you, but the galaxy is too big, and our contact with Terra has been inexplicably good and bad. 】
[Until a while ago... I had a precognitive dream, dreaming about your location and your experience. Then with the help of Mr. Macado... we finally found this place. 】
[Everyone in the Legion misses you, whether they are mortals, Astartes, or Tech-Priests of the Mechanical Pagans...]
[Nukeria needs you, please come back to us...]
Kahn was already trembling with excitement at this moment, and his heart was filled with indescribable joy. If this mood can be traced back to the last time, it was probably when the original gene returned to the empire.
Since that war, the Children of the Mountains and the Primarch were forced to separate. They did not know where Elaine had gone, nor did they know if she was still alive. It was not until the good news brought by the Emperor that the Children of the Mountains were They were completely relieved, but their hanging hearts could not be completely settled, because they did not know when Elaine would return to the Legion again, nor did they know whether she was still safe now.
Many doubts, thoughts, unknowns, and entanglements are constantly entangled in Kahn's complicated mood like a mess.
It had been too long since he had seen the reliable figure of the Mother of Genes - the panic of living in panic filled the legion, and as one of the two pillars of the legion today, the pressure on Kahn was unimaginable.
To the Astartes, that bond of blood means everything.
They are loyal to humanity, they are loyal to the Emperor, but the existence they are most loyal to is the Primarch who has a blood connection with them.
It can be said that it is the instinct burned into the gene seeds, or it can be said that they are born to yearn for the master of the legion who is much taller than them, but this link is undeniable.
Only when the Primarch officially returns to the Imperium can an Astartes Legion be considered complete. Otherwise, it will be a tree without water and a tree without roots.
And now, the burly figure of the Gene Mother finally appeared in front of them.
This long-suppressed joy cannot be ignored, and all the speculations and worries in the past are thrown away at this moment.
【……well. 】
[I thought my father would tell you most of the things...but I don't blame him. I should have expected this kind of thing...]
[It's my fault, kids. 】
Facing the worries of her children during this period, Elaine couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
[During my time in Colchis, I tried to contact Nuceria - however, the astrological transmission did not receive any reply. 】
[I know that there should be something blocking the connection between me and you - but when I went to solve those things, another subspace storm brought me here. 】
[Now, being found by my own child... is my dereliction of duty as a primarch and my dereliction of duty as a mother. 】
【Come all the way...Thank you for your hard work. 】
