Spoilers for Marvel Multiverse: Avengers Live Broadcast

[After falsely passing the emperor's order to destroy Magnus's mouth, Horus did not sit idle. 】

[As a good commander, he knows better than anyone :]

[With only his own Shadow Moon Blue Wolf, as well as Luo Jia's Bearer, it is impossible to compete with the Empire. 】

[If he wants to win this battle, he not only needs to pull in as many genetic primas as possible, but also needs to get the help of "Chaos"!]

[Horus was originally a leader with excellent eloquence and high personal charisma. 】

[In addition, he knows a lot about his genetic origin brothers and knows where to start. 】

[Soon, he convinced the three genetic protogens,...... Rebel with him!]

[These three people are the "Anglon" of the World Eater Legion. "Fergrim" of the Emperor's Sons Legion, "Motarian" of the Death Guard Legion. 】

[These genetic prototypes not only joined the rebellion, but even took the entire war group to join forces with Horus!]

[There are many reasons why they betray so easily. 】

[First of all, Horus was the first primordial to rendezvous with the Emperor, and has been fighting side by side with the Emperor for many years. 】

[The genetic prototypes found afterwards were all guided by Horus alone, and he taught them to establish the Astarte Legion and fight together on the battlefield!]

[Compared to the emperor who is invisible, and is high in anger, many primordials are much closer to Horus. 】

[Moreover, the Emperor returned to Holy Terra alone and threw all the Imperial troops to Horus!]

[This practice made many genetic protogens and imperial soldiers feel ...... Betrayal!]

[Instead, they are more inclined to rally around Horus than the emperor who "abandoned" them. 】

[Not to mention, people like the World Eater "Angelon" have long held a grudge against the emperor. 】

[I finally found an opportunity to rebel, how can there be a reason not to grasp it tightly?]

[But even if the original body betrayed, the Astarte warriors under their command may not all have backbones. 】

[Facing these ...... Astarte, Horus, and the rebellious Primordials, who are still loyal to the Emperor, must find a way to get rid of them. 】

Soon, an opportunity appeared in front of them. 】

[Planet Istavan 3 under the rule of the Empire, due to the planetary governor being polluted by Slaanesh, declared a rebellion. 】

[Faced with this situation, the Council of Terra ordered Horus to send troops to quell the rebellion. 】

[Horus will soon be the "Son of Horus", the former Silvermoon Wolf, the World Eater, the Death Guard, and the Emperor's Son...... Four Astarte regiments were transferred to the skies over "Istavan 3". 】

[What happened next was the so-called "Istavan Purge"!]

[Horus first ordered a long orbital bombardment of the planet. 】

[Next, he ordered all the loyal warriors in the four legions to land on the surface of the planet in the orbital airborne capsule. 】

[Among these loyal fighters, Astarte alone has exceeded 100,000 people. 】

[Under the strict orders of Horus, the Astartes all went into battle lightly, without carrying any heavy weapons or heavy armor. 】

[The loyal warriors did not know that disaster was coming, but they followed the order and occupied the capital of the planet and declared victory in the counterinsurgency campaign. 】

[But what greeted them was not the commendation of the commander, but the countless "virus bombs" that fell from the sky. 】

[This bomb is called the "Devourer of Life", and it can dissolve all the flesh and blood of living beings, turning them into a pile of mud.] 】

[This kind of terrifying attack is one of the most terrible "extermination orders" of the Imperial Army, which is specially designed to completely destroy the ecological environment of a planet and exterminate all living beings on it!]

["Boom, boom!"]

[After the explosion of the Devourer of Life, countless lifeforms were wrapped in the poisonous smoke of the bomb, and then corrupted into skeletons!]

[Even the plants have been melted away and turned into nothing!]

[Even the ocean has turned into green sludge!]

[It didn't take long for the entire 8 billion civilians on Istavan 3 to be wiped out by Horus's attack. 】

[So many humans died at the same time...... The resulting psionic energy fluctuations caused violent shocks in the subspace. 】

[And worse things are yet to come. 】

[After countless creatures decayed, the combustible gas formed enveloped the entire planet. 】

[Just a few sparks ignited all these gases!]

["Boom!"]

[The fire that swept the heavens and the earth covered the entire planet!Burned everything that remained on the planet!]

[When the flames are extinguished, only bare rocks remain on the surface of the planet!]

[But even such a terrifying serial attack did not kill all the loyal Astartes on the planet.] 】

[It turns out that in the "Emperor's Son" legion, there are still some loyal warriors. 】

[They discovered Horus's conspiracy, and then risked their lives to grab a gunboat Thunderhawk and land on the surface of the planet Istavan to warn the loyal warriors. 】

[It was because of these warnings that more than two-thirds of the loyal warriors fled into their underground bunkers, dodging the terrible poison gas attacks and the ensuing flames of the sky. 】

[Not only that, but one of the loyal warriors even grabbed a ship and turned around and flew towards Holy Terra, ready to warn Emperor Horus of his rebellion. 】

[Knowing that the loyalists on the surface have not been killed by the virus bomb, Horus is ready to continue to launch an extermination order and blow up the surface of the planet with a whirlwind torpedo!]

[But what he didn't expect was that because of the stimulation of the Butcher's Nail, Angron, who believed in the blood god of torture, had lost his mind!]

Driven by madness, Angelon and his men rushed to the surface of the planet and fought the loyal warriors in close combat. 】

["Angelon, this madman!"]

[Horus was so angry that he smoked, but he couldn't just give the order to blow up a gene protogen that was loyal to him!]

[Originally, according to Horus's plan, he was going to quickly cut through the chaos to eliminate all the loyalists, and then take the remaining 4 Astarte legions to march to Terra and cut off the emperor's head!]

[But the survival of the loyalist warriors, and the madness of Angelon, disrupted his plans.] 】

[In desperation, Horus had no choice but to send the Sons of Horus, the Death Guard, and the Emperor's Sons of the Chaos Space Marines out on the surface of the planet...... Fight with the loyalists!]

[These "loyal Astartes" already knew that they would die, but they still continued to fight!

[This scuffle on Istavan 3 lasted for three months, causing astonishing damage to the rebels in Horus. 】

[In the end, only a few hundred loyal warriors remained on the planet's surface, and they retreated to the defensive fortress, ready to die with the traitors who came to attack. 】

[At this time, Horus, patience has run out. 】

[He ordered all the Space Marines to retreat, and then bombarded them with the orbits of battleships, completely blowing up the city company and the fortifications where the loyalists were located. 】

[The reason why Horus is so impatient is actually because of bad news. 】

[The "Fergrim" of the Emperor's Sons Legion took it upon himself to convince the "Ferus Malus" of the Iron Hand Legion to defect with him.] 】

[As a result, the other party not only did not agree, but angrily denounced the traitor, and launched an attack on Fergrim!]

[Now, the news of the betrayal of Horus and others has been leaked!]

[He doesn't have time to waste any more!]

[In order to eliminate those genetic primordials who are unwilling to submit, the commander has come up with a new plan!]

[Now, even the gods of subspace are on his side!]

[The subspace storm unleashed by the Chaos Gods can obscure communications, and even destroy the imperial fleet in the subspace maneuver!]

[For the Chaos Rebels, their fleet can be unimpeded in subspace!]

[The most outrageous thing is that through the sacrificial ritual of desecration, the fleet of the commander can still appear in some ...... Where there is no way to make a subspace jump, you can launch a surprise attack!]

[With such a strategic maneuver advantage, Horus is ready to set a trap again and kill those loyal primordials who refuse to submit!]

Seeing this, the chat group is also lively.

Tian Xiaoban: That's amazing, these loyal fighters are really amazing!

Captain Mi Guo: They really don't want their lives for the sake of faith!

Robert Killiman: Damn, Horus! You damn scum! traitor!

John Constantine: Then again, with the help of the subspace gods. The advantage of these rebels is simply too great.

John Constantine: They are free to move freely through the galaxy, while you loyalists can only wait to be beaten up.

John Constantine: How do you win this battle?
