Applewhite Manson was born in a decaying hive city to his mother, a prostitute, who gave birth to him when he was sixteen.
Not knowing who his father was, his mother gave him the surname of her favorite lover.
When his mother fell into the hive's bottomless sewers due to an overdose of hallucinogens, Applewhite was left to be raised by his aunt.
Although his aunt is a devout believer in the state religion, his uncle is a psychopath. He has taken pleasure in humiliating Applewhite since he was a child. Not only did he make fun of his figure, he also deliberately dressed him up as a girl and then scolded him for being a pervert.
Twelve-year-old Applewhite couldn't stand the various atrocities his uncle treated him, and finally killed his adoptive parents and his family and set fire to the house one night. However, this kind of thing was not uncommon in the hive city, so he was not hunted down.
.
After that, Applewhite wandered on the streets. Due to his past experiences and lack of normal education, his character and personality began to be distorted to the naked eye.
In other words, when he was born into a crowd that was surrounded by predators, injustice, fornication, deceit, and people who were just getting along, his future could in fact have been foreseen.
Later, Applewhite founded the "Heart-Gawker Family", which was not actually a family, but a murderous group of perverts and criminals, most of whose members were young wanderers and scavengers.
If that were all, then Applewhite would be just the most inconspicuous among the vast number of anti-social criminals in the empire. But when he accidentally saved the life of a wizard who was being hunted by the Ministry of Justice, his life trajectory changed.
huge change.
Applewhite learned about Chaos beliefs from wizards and learned many "lies" about the Empire, so the purpose of his killings changed, from simply releasing violence to praising the dark gods and evil forces.
If that was all, then he was just one of the many cultists in the empire, but in the next ten years, the Black Legion's plundering fleet came to his planet.
Destiny once again gave him a "big gift".
By the time the leader of the warband split open the unlocked door of the Anglican Church, Applewhite was already sitting on the pile of corpses of 320 people who had been slaughtered in the name of the Four Gods.
So Applewhite took refuge with a well-known Black Legion combat assistant and truly entered the field he "dreamed of".
Day after day, month after month, year after year.
From battlefield to battlefield, from planet to planet, Applewhite slayed for the Four Gods.
He realized that the more he respected the master of darkness, the higher his status would be in the eyes of them and the four gods, and the changes inflicted on his flesh and blood would become more intense.
Slowly, his face became more like a corpse, and more in line with the wishes of those destructive powers.
Correspondingly, when there is no fighting and killing, he will become tortured and suffer as if he is lacking oxygen.
Therefore, when the legion launched an expedition against the Pai Shang planet, he couldn't wait to participate and jumped into the battle immediately.
He has harvested a hundred heads in this world, but it's not enough, not enough -
"Sir, look!"
Suddenly, an obscene voice interfered with Applewhite's prayer to the four gods. He raised his head angrily and was about to slap the guy with a spiked glove, but found that everyone on the defensive position seemed to be grabbed by invisible hands.
Neck-like, desperately looking out.
He also cast his gaze and was suddenly startled.
Under the dim light, three huge figures walked out of the smoke. Their armors were stained red with blood. Their chests, shoulder armors and leg armors were all covered with bloody human skin, and they were also tied around their waists.
Several bloody heads, holding blood-stained chainswords in their hands.
None of them were wearing helmets, but their faces seemed to be covered with messy tattoos, and no specific appearance could be seen.
But that doesn't matter anymore.
"Great Blood God, why are these grandfathers——"
Looking at the approaching bloody giant, Applewhite couldn't help but groan. He didn't know what kind of bad luck he had to encounter these guys.
The other cultists also looked frightened.
Not all Astartes in the Black Legion wear black armor. In fact, many Khorne believers still maintain their "piety" and insist on painting their armor blood red, but this is not the point.
Everyone knows that the berserkers of Khorne are the most difficult to get along with, and their emotions are unpredictable at all times, especially to mortals.
There is no difference in killing in their eyes, whether it is an imperial person or a slave of the legion.
Cultists who died at the hands of the berserkers of Khorne were no less than those who died by the Imperial laser guns, so all cultists who were not members of the Khorne sect had a consensus.
Stay as far away from these lunatics as possible.
"Strange, why did three people suddenly appear?"
However, Applewhite had been on the battlefield for many years, and after being initially surprised, he suddenly became confused.
It stands to reason that all Astartes have their own areas of responsibility. He did not remember that his superiors had told him that three Khorne Berserkers would pass by or come to support him.
For safety reasons, Applewhite took the copper horn nearby and said loudly:
"Three gentlemen, we are the Heart Digger warband under Lord Ilkand Pillai. We are responsible for defending this area and ensuring the attack route of the follow-up troops. Please stop first and inform us of your intention."
The three giants did not stop, but continued to move forward silently.
Applewhite frowned, feeling a little uneasy.
"Boss,... are you crazy? How about we hide for a while?"
Sadistic berserkers often fall into madness where they cannot distinguish between friend and foe because they are too addicted to killing. Therefore, the leader around Applewhite has begun to tremble, fearing that he will encounter such a mess.
"What are you afraid of!"
After kicking the leader away, Applewhite picked up the trumpet again.
"Sir, don't make it difficult for us!"
Finally, one of them spoke, with a wild and rough accent.
"If you stop talking nonsense, I will kill you losers! We have our orders! The Empire's Astartes are here! Do we have to rely on you losers!?"
"Sir, please wait a moment, I need to ask my superiors for instructions!"
"It's none of my business what you ask for! Don't block the road, otherwise this will be your fate!"
Seeing the other party patting the head on his waist threateningly, Applewhite sighed. It would take a few minutes to ask his superiors for instructions at this time.
Of course, there are only three people on the opposite side. With their firepower and numbers, they can still block it, but if they do that, their end may not be too good.
Would his master be willing to turn against a group of Khorne berserkers for their sake?
Applewhite had no idea.
As for whether it might be an enemy disguised, he didn't really believe that this would happen. After all, the Astartes of the Empire were full of glory and arrogance, and they should not be able to do such a thing.
"Forget it, open the door and everyone stay away."
The cultists hurriedly moved the barricades and opened the door, then cowered in the firepower and watched the scarlet giants gradually approaching.
As the three Khorne Berserkers approached, the strong smell of blood stimulated everyone's nerves, and even their every step would leave a bloody footprint on the ground.
