Guilliman looked at Rhodes in surprise. Could he also undergo that kind of special synthetic surgery?
Turning into that form had its advantages in battle. If he could turn back afterward, maybe it wouldn't be so bad—but he had no intention of being rebuilt into a Dreadnought!
"Thank you for the offer, Rhodes, but I don't want to beco so giant Dreadnought ch!" Guilliman shook his head.
Despite the strength of that combat form, he didn't want to modify himself, get stuffed into a Dreadnought, and then be fused by Rhodes.
"Hahaha! You think I an a giant Dreadnought? Don't be ridiculous. That's not what I'm talking about at all.
I an to enlarge your body to giant size—make you into a giant, but with your original appearance and armor, unchanged. There's a ti limit, too.
You'll revert to normal in about an hour. During the transformation, you'll weigh tens of thousands of tons," Rhodes explained.
He was referring to the human gigantification power of filas—not the Super Beast fusion.
"Turning into a giant? Is that possible? And making weigh tens of thousands of tons? That's totally against the laws of physics!
Is this so kind of special psychic power of yours? I know your psychic strength is formidable, but lately, I think I'd better steer clear of Warp energy," Guilliman said, sweating a little.
He'd been wound up ever since the Chaos Four's proclamations. Every Chaos god wanted him.
Nurgle was said to have declared that he'd like Guilliman and Mortarion to make up in his garden and sit down for so of his soup.
As if he'd ever drink Nurgle's soup.
And Slaanesh was even scarier—bragging about giving him a special welco in their palace, together with Fulgrim. That made Guilliman even more nervous.
Tzeentch was brewing so sche against him, and Magnus would act against him in the future.
Khorne was the most direct; he wanted Guilliman's skull and blood.
Being targeted by all four Chaos gods at once—that was the treatnt Horus got!
He wanted to reveal Rhodes and Elena's identities and make them share the burden a bit.
Now all four gods were watching him alone—the pressure was imnse.
"Relax! This is a special superpower, has nothing to do with the Warp, and it's not psychic energy.
You seem a little too on edge, brother," Rhodes said to Guilliman.
In the original tiline, after Guilliman was revived, he was indeed watched by the Chaos gods.
But only the fallen Primarchs took action; the Chaos Four themselves never personally intervened against him.
But maybe because Abaddon already knew about the female Primarch Elena, the Chaos gods would soon make a move on both Guilliman and Elena.
Fulgrim's sudden action was the best proof of this.
"You don't know, Rhodes. Recently, on the edge of the Ultramar 500 worlds, seven strange new plagues have appeared out of nowhere. That's Mortarion's doing—Nurgle is plotting sothing!
And Khorne's daemon champions are even scarier. Since my awakening, they've destroyed eighty Imperial worlds, all marked with ssages promising to take my head," Guilliman said.
"Okay, I can see you're terrified. Ti to help ease your burden.
How about this: you know about the Emperor's avatar, right? Tonight, I'll have the Emperor's avatar stay with you while you sleep.
With your old man's psychic light shining on you, you'll be able to get so rest," Rhodes said.
"Ahem! Rhodes, don't ss with . I'm not a kid who still needs an adult to tuck him in at night," Guilliman rolled his eyes.
"So, what do you want, then?"
"Ahem! That special transformation Elena has—it boosts power dramatically. You made Horus stronger, too.
And you get a companion inside your body. So, could you boost my strength as well? Give a Cosmic Phantom Beast, too?" Guilliman coughed.
He wanted to increase his self-preservation. The fastest way was Rhodes' Cosmic Phantom Beast.
If he weren't truly desperate, targeted by all four Chaos gods at once, he wouldn't have co to Rhodes for help.
Lately, Rhodes had ntioned that Horus's power had increased a lot; he could now transform into an 80-ter-tall dark giant.
So, you gave Horus a set, I even gave you three star systems, and you're not giving a set? That wouldn't be fair!
Anyway, there's no way Guilliman was going to get caught by Slaanesh and Fulgrim to play perverted gas, or go to Nurgle's garden for soup with Mortarion, or give his head to Khorne. As for Tzeentch, who knows what he wants!
"Oh, that's all? Got it!
Since you're asking, of course, I have no problem!
I know you don't like owing favors, so here's the deal: these Cosmic Phantom Beasts need a super-large, beautiful, and pleasant planet as their ho.
In the future, help them find a suitable star system, with at least two or three habitable planets.
I'll find a suitable Cosmic Phantom Beast to possess you—give you gigantification and a huge power boost," Rhodes said.
Finding the right planet for the Beasts was naturally Guilliman's job!
"No problem! Once I return to Terra, I'll reorganize the Imperial armies and launch an expedition. I'm sure we'll find a suitable planet," Guilliman nodded.
"OK! Co with . I'll let you pick a suitable Cosmic Phantom Beast," Rhodes said, patting Guilliman's shoulder and leading him back to his mansion, to a huge training field.
The two Eldar girls, Yvraine and Lelith, and Elena, were practicing Cosmic Phantom Beast martial arts here.
This power-boosting martial art—the two Eldar beauties showed no hesitation about learning it from Rhodes.
As usual, they even offered another threeso for training facilities, to practice the basic version of Cosmic Phantom Beast martial arts.
"Lord Guilliman, I didn't expect to see you here," Elena said, finishing her training and walking over.
"No need for honorifics, just call Guilliman, Sister Elena. I'm here to train in the Cosmic Phantom Beast martial arts, too—got myself into so trouble recently," Guilliman said.
"What trouble? Do you need Lord Rhodes and to help?" Elena asked.
"We will need your help in the future, but right now, he has to handle it alone.
I'm planning to give him more power. Ladies, could you step outside for a bit and co back tomorrow to train?" Rhodes said, coughing lightly.
Elena, who already had a Cosmic Phantom Beast, instantly understood. The two Eldar girls thought Guilliman was also here to learn the martial arts.
They trained in the morning, and Rhodes' subordinates used the field in the afternoon.
"We'll be going, then, Lord Rhodes, Guilliman, Sister Elena," Yvraine said.
But as she walked past Rhodes, she mouthed, "Co see tonight," and winked.
Yvraine, after tasting the forbidden fruit without her soul getting sucked out, is now very addicted to it.
Rhodes sighed—sotis Eldar girls were even more enthusiastic about pleasure than humans! These two Eldar girls could tire even soone with Rhodes' monster stamina.
"This is the Cosmic Phantom Beast martial arts manual, right? It's a truly amazing artifact," Guilliman said, looking at the main book with admiration.
"That's right! Your life level is very high, so you can choose a higher-grade Beast as your power source.
Lesser Beasts can possess ordinary humans, turning them into super-beings, but you can handle a much stronger one," Rhodes said.
"That's best! Rhodes, you're a huge help this ti!" Guilliman said excitedly.
"No need to thank —finding the right planet will fall to you anyway. I'll go talk to them, wait a sec," Rhodes said, patting Guilliman and going to the martial arts book to communicate with the Beasts inside.
"Cosmic Phantom Beasts, anyone willing to possess this guy? His life level is super high a super being," Rhodes gestured at Guilliman.
"Master, does your friend want high defense, special abilities, or high attack?" the Beasts asked.
"He's being targeted by four powerful Chaos gods—give him defense, so he feels safer," Rhodes replied.
"In that case, our strongest defensive Beast is the Cosmic Xuanwu.
With its power, his physical level will greatly increase, and he'll gain both ntal and physical protection."
"Alright, Xuanwu it is," Rhodes agreed.
