Overview 概述

Following the dissolution of Imperium Secundus the three Primarch's within Ultramar, Roboute Guilliman, Sanguinius, and Lion El'Jonson, attempted to journey to Terra and aid the Emperor against Horus. However to do so they would have to move their fleets through the Ruinstorm, a feat considered near-impossible. Nonetheless 2/3rds of the Ultramarines, Blood Angels, and Dark Angels departed Ultramar and set course for Terra. After many weeks of ineffectual Warp jumps that even Lion El'Jonson's Tuchulcha had difficulty navigating, The Ultramarines came into possession of several Chaos-corrupted Navigators after the Battle of Anuari. Unlike their loyalist counterparts, traitor Navigators had far less difficulty navigating the Warp and were surprisingly quite eager to lead the loyalist fleet through the Ruinstorm.

在第二帝国解散后，奥特拉玛的三位原体，罗伯特·基里曼、圣吉列斯和莱昂·艾尔庄森，试图前往泰拉并协助帝皇对抗荷鲁斯。然而，要做到这一点，他们必须将舰队穿过毁灭风暴，这一壮举被认为几乎是不可能的。尽管如此，三分之二的极限战士、圣血天使和黑暗天使还是离开了奥特拉玛，前往泰拉。在经历了数周无效的亚空间跳跃后，即使是莱昂·艾尔庄森的图丘查也很难导航，在阿努亚里之战后，极限战士拥有了几名混乱腐化的导航者。与他们的忠诚派对应不同，叛徒导航者在亚空间中的导航难度要小得多，而且令人惊讶的是，他们非常渴望带领忠诚派舰队穿过毁灭风暴。

In the Ruinstorm, the loyalist fleet came across a variety of horrors and word of an entity spreading destruction known as the "Pilgrim". During the Battle of Pyrrhan, Sanguinius received a vision and he realized that he needed to go where this struggle had begun, Davin, the world where Horus had fallen. Reluctantly, Guilliman and The Lion agreed to trust in Sanguinius but both had thought they would simply destroy the world upon arriving. At Davin, the loyalist fleet found the entire world surrounded by a shell made of the bones of trillions dubbed the Necrosphere. A bombardment managed to penetrate the sphere and the fleet was soon in orbit above Davin. While over Davin, Sanguinius shocked The Lion by boarding the Invincible Reason and taking the captive Konrad Curze with him. Sanguinius hoped to use Curze's prophetic abilities to determine what he was meant to do upon Davin. Sanguinius then commended a mass landing on the world, and the enraged Lion nearly ordered that Davin be subjected to Exterminatus regardless of Sanguinius' presence on it. At the last minute The Lion relented, and realizing how close he had come to committing a great sin followed Sanguinius onto Davin with his Dark Angels along with Guilliman's forces.

在毁灭风暴中，忠诚派舰队遇到了各种恐怖事件，并听说了一个被称为“朝圣者”的实体正在传播破坏。在皮拉罕之战中，圣吉列斯看到了一个幻象，他意识到他需要去这场斗争开始的地方，戴文，荷鲁斯堕落的世界。基里曼和莱昂不情愿地同意信任圣吉列斯，但他们都认为自己一到就会毁灭世界。在戴文，忠诚派舰队发现整个世界都被一个由数万亿块骨头组成的壳包围着，这个壳被称为死灵圈。一次轰炸成功穿透了圈体，舰队很快就进入了戴文上空的轨道。在D戴文上空，圣吉列斯登上无敌理性号并带走了俘虏康拉德·科兹，震惊了莱昂。圣吉列斯希望利用科兹的预言能力来确定他打算对戴文做什么。圣吉列斯随后建议大规模登陆世界，愤怒的莱昂几乎下令戴文接受灭绝令，无论圣吉列斯是否在场。在最后一刻，莱昂让步了，意识到自己已经离犯下大罪有多近，于是跟随圣吉列斯和他的黑暗天使以及基里曼的部队来到戴文上。

On Davin, a mass Drop Pod assault was conducted but nothing was found and the population was absent. The four Primarch's eventually traveled to the temple where Horus had been subjected to the ritual by Erebus and the Serpent Lodge that had corrupted him. Inside the temple, Sanguinius stood at the altar where Horus had been laid and proclaimed that he would change his destiny. This activated Davin itself, Warp storms roared above and a portal opened up that swallowed up Sanguinius. Guilliman and The Lion desperately tried to penetrate the portal, and the chained Curze broke down as he had not foreseen anything that was transpiring and his worldview that destiny was set in stone was being tested. Above Davin, the orbiting loyalist fleet was assailed by a fleet of Daemonships that appeared from nowhere. All the vessels were Imperial ships previously thought lost in the Warp, but had since become twisted by the powers of Chaos. At the fleet's head was the Veritas Ferrum, which had grown far beyond its original size and was horrifically mutated. The Veritas Ferrum announced its arrival by instantly destroying the Iron Hands Cruiser Sthenelus.

在戴文，进行了大规模的空投舱袭击，但没有发现任何东西，人群也不在场。四位原体最终前往神庙，荷鲁斯在那里接受了艾瑞巴斯和腐化他的蛇屋的仪式。在神庙内，圣吉列斯站在荷鲁斯被安置的祭坛前，宣布他将改变自己的命运。这激活了戴文本身，亚空间风暴在上空咆哮，一个入口打开，吞噬了圣吉列斯。基里曼和莱昂拼命地试图穿过门户，被锁链锁住的科兹崩溃了，因为他没有预见到正在发生的任何事情，他的命运早已注定的世界观正在受到考验。在戴文上空，轨道上的忠诚派舰队遭到了不知从哪里出现的恶魔舰队的袭击。所有的战舰都是之前被认为在亚空间中迷失的帝国船只，但后来被混沌的力量扭曲了。舰队之首是钢铁真理号，它已经远远超出了原来的规模，并且发生了可怕的变异。钢铁真理号立即摧毁了钢铁之手巡洋舰斯特涅洛斯号，宣布其抵达。

Inside the portal on Davin, Sanguinius was back on Terra in a beautiful garden at the Imperial Palace. He for the first time was experiencing a vision that was not his death aboard the Vengeful Spirit. He saw Lorgar dead by his hands and the remaining traitor Primarch's brought before him in chains. The Emperor congratulated Sanguinius on his victory and named him the Imperator Regis of the Imperium. With Sanguinius as the Emperor's Regent, he went on to lead a great campaign that purged the Imperium of all corruption and evil and the galaxy was his to rule. Seeing this future and observing the Emperor's mannerisms, he became suspicious as to what was going on. At last, he cut down the image of the Emperor who was revealed to be the Daemon Madail in disguise.

在戴文的门户内，圣吉列斯回到了泰拉帝国皇宫里一个美丽的花园里。他第一次看到了一个不是他在复仇之魂上死亡的幻象。他看到珞珈被他亲手杀死，剩下的叛徒原体被锁链带到他面前。帝皇祝贺圣吉列斯的胜利，并任命他为帝国的雷吉斯帝皇。圣吉列斯作为帝皇的摄政，他继续领导了一场伟大的战役，清除了帝国的所有腐化和邪恶，银河系由他统治。看到这个未来，观察到帝皇的举止，他开始怀疑发生了什么。最后，他砍倒了帝皇的形象，这个形象被揭露为伪装的恶魔马代尔。

At the revelation of the presence of Madail, Daemons began to appear across Davin's surface and assaulted the Space Marines guarding Guilliman and The Lion, who were still attempting to breach the portal while Curze despaired at his blindness to the future. In space, the battle was going poorly. Every ship struck down by the Daemonic fleet was reborn as a twisted husk and another of its number. The Veritas Ferrum proved near-invincible, not only blasting vessels with Warp-fire but swallowing them whole in with massive jaws. Guilliman's flagship, the Samothrace, was destroyed when it delivered Cyclonic Torpedoes at point-blank to the Veritas Ferrum. To the horror of the Imperials, the Daemonic ship survived the blast and quickly regenerated. It seemed that the vessel could not be stopped.

在发现马代尔的存在后，恶魔开始出现在戴文的表面，并袭击了守卫基里曼和莱昂的战士，他们仍在试图突破门户，而科兹对自己对未来的盲目感到绝望。在太空中，战斗进行得很糟糕。被恶魔舰队击坠的每一艘船都重生为扭曲的外壳和成为同类中的一员。事实证明，钢铁真理号几乎不可战胜，不仅用次元火焰炸毁战舰，还用巨大的下颚将它们整个吞下。基里曼的旗舰萨莫色雷斯号在向钢铁真理号近距离发射旋风鱼雷时被摧毁。令帝国人震惊的是，恶魔舰船在爆炸中幸存下来并迅速再生。战舰似乎无法被停止。

Inside Davin's portal, Sanguinius and Madail engaged in a vicious duel. Madail had unleashed a Daemonic horde through the portal to prevent Guilliman and The Lion breaking through. The host included a massive Soul Grinder, which was destroyed in a combined effort by The Lion and Guilliman. On the other side of the portal, The Angel was eventually pinned by Madail's host of Daemonic troops, and the Preacher of Chaos Undivided announced that Sanguinius would serve or die. Madail dubbed Horus an imperfect vessel, and urged Sanguinius to strike Lupercal down and take up the mantle as Warmaster of Chaos. If he did so, Madail declared, his sons would be spared of the Black Rage. However despite the temptation Sanguinius denied the Daemon and broke free of his captors. Sanguinius and Madail again engaged in a duel, but this time the Daemon was impaled by both the Blade Encarmine and Spear of Telesto. The two wounded warriors wrestled with one another until they were both in the portal, torn between the Materium and Immaterium. On Davin, Guilliman and The Lion saw Sanguinius' upper half sticking through the portal and rushed to his aid, but were blocked by Daemons. The stalemate endured, until Sanguinius' Herald stepped forth and declared that he would take The Angel's place in the portal. Realizing that this was his herald's destiny and that he needed to confront Horus at Terra for the Imperium to endure, Sanguinius solemnly agreed. The Sanguinor charged into Madail, and as he tackled the Daemon back through the portal was transformed into a golden angelic form. The Primarch's and their escorts managed to escape the Temple just as it collapsed.

在戴文的门户内，圣吉列斯和马代尔进行了一场激烈的决斗。马代尔已经通过门户释放了一个恶魔部落，以防止基里曼和莱昂突破。天军包括一个巨大的灵魂碾磨者，在莱昂和基里曼的共同努力下被摧毁。在传送门的另一边，天使最终被马代尔的恶魔部队牵制，混沌无分的传教士宣布圣吉列斯要么服从，要么死亡。马代尔称荷鲁斯是一个不完美的容器，并敦促圣吉列斯击败卢佩卡尔，以混沌战帅的身份接过衣钵。马代尔宣称，如果他这样做，他的子嗣将免于黑怒。然而，尽管有诱惑，圣吉列斯还是拒绝了恶魔，并摆脱了他的捕获者。圣吉列斯和马代尔再次决斗，但这次恶魔被染赤之刃和毕功之矛刺穿。两名受伤的战士相互扭打，直到他们都进入了门户，在物质界和非物质界之间撕裂。在戴文上，基里曼和莱昂看到圣吉列斯的上半身从传送门伸了出来，赶紧去帮助他，但被恶魔挡住了。僵局一直持续着，直到圣吉列斯的传令官站出来宣布他将接替天使在传送门中的位置。意识到这是他的传令官的命运，他需要在泰拉与荷鲁斯对抗才能维持帝国，圣吉列斯沉着脸同意了。圣吉列诺冲向马代尔，当他通过入口抓住恶魔时，恶魔变成了一个金色的天使形态。就在神庙倒塌时，原体和他们的护卫设法逃离了神庙。

However, the defeat of Madail did not stop the Daemonic incursion on Davin. The Veritas Ferrum and its escorts still battered the Imperial fleet and the Space Marines on Davin's surface were under assault from vast hordes of Daemons. The three Primarch's managed to conduct an evacuation from Davin, and once aboard the Red Tear knew that Davin was linked to the materialization of the Veritas. Davin was bombarded with Cyclonic Torpdoes, and with its death the Veritas Ferrum and its Daemonic fleet vanished.

然而，马代尔的失败并没有阻止恶魔对戴文的入侵。钢铁真理号及其护卫舰仍在袭击帝国舰队，戴文表面上的星际战士正受到大量恶魔的攻击。三位原体设法从戴文撤离，一旦登上红泪号，就知道戴文与钢铁真理号的物质化有关。戴文被旋风鱼雷轰炸，随着它的死亡，钢铁真理号及其恶魔舰队消失了。

In the place of where Davin once was, a breach in the Ruinstorm was visible. The path led to Terra, but upon further study it became apparent that somehow Horus had foreseen this route and a large blockade was erected to block them. Guilliman and The Lion agreed to distract the blockade while Sanguinius and the Blood Angels made directly for Terra, for that was their destiny. Sanguinius took Curze with him, stating he would face their fathers justice, though in truth he would put the Night Lords Primarch into a stasis coffin and inject him into space.

在戴文曾经所在的地方，可以看到毁灭风暴中的缺口。这条路通往泰拉，但经过进一步研究，很明显荷鲁斯已经预见到了这条路，并竖起了一道巨大的封锁线来封锁他们。基里曼和莱昂同意分散封锁，而圣吉列斯和圣血天使则直接前往泰拉，因为这是他们的命运。圣吉列斯带着科兹，说他将面对他们父亲的正义，尽管事实上他会把午夜领主原体放进一个停滞棺材里，并把他发射到太空中。

The arrival of the Blood Angels to Terra proved instrumental in the upcoming siege, with Sanguinius infamously dying by the hands of Horus aboard the Vengeful Spirit. In addition, the destruction of Davin proved to have a weakening effect on the Ruinstorm, which began to dissipate after the battle.

圣血天使抵达泰拉对即将到来的围城起到了重要作用，圣吉列斯在复仇之魂号上被荷鲁斯之手夺去了生命。此外，戴文的毁灭对毁灭风暴产生了削弱作用，毁灭风暴在战斗后开始消散。
