73: Chapter 73: Chief Think Tank Mephisto.

"Brother, to be able to see a duel like this, that's really great."

"Keep it down, don't let others notice. What if they get malicious ideas and beat us both up?"

The two players chatted back and forth, when suddenly one of them seemed to notice something: "Brother, that guy is so pale!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a virtual screen appeared before all the players, as always, beginning to play the history of Chief Librarian Mephiston.

Blood Angels Chief Librarian Mephiston, originally named Calistarius.

He was originally an ordinary Librarian in the Blood Angels, and while participating in the Second Armageddon War, he was assigned to the Death Company due to the onset of the Black Rage and the Red Thirst.

When the Death Company unit to which Calistarius belonged was fighting in Hive Hades, they were buried underground by collapsing buildings on the battlefield.

The other Death Company warriors were killed, but he was trapped under the collapsed building.

But unexpectedly, this Librarian, who had already been affected by the genetic curse, regained his sanity from the edge of death and madness after being buried for seven days.

Trapped, Calistarius used his extraordinary willpower to let his reason gain the upper hand amidst the constant madness.

Because of this, he became even more powerful and became the only Blood Angel to recover from the hallucinations of the Black Rage.

On the night of the seventh day, this brand-new Librarian finally crawled out of the ruins and slaughtered a group of Orks that approached him.

"Are these Orks still simple-minded and brawny, liking to use brute force, and incapable of anything else?"

"That's so cool, I really want to go too, to show off and slap some faces!"

From then on, he transformed into Mephiston, the Lord of Death who returned from hell.

Not a trace of his past could be seen on him, and his psychic powers became extremely powerful, making him one of the best even within the entire Imperium of Man.

Relying on this power, Mephiston returned to the battlefield and soon became the Chief Librarian.

However, the aura of death emanating from this powerful Psyker also made people deeply fearful and even disgusted.

But his efforts have helped the Chapter escape crises more than once.

However, after one battle, the Black Rage he had suppressed surged back like a tide, and he nearly lost control.

Fortunately, Dante acted in time and knocked him to the ground.

It was during the course of his treatment that he encountered hallucinations of Sanguinius, Sanguinius, and a black angel.

They gave him a choice: either merge with the Dark Angels, to become one who completely masters the Black Rage and the Red Thirst, but the price is that his power becomes increasingly uncontrollable, and it might even lead him into irreversible madness.

"Three angels? Why am I a bit confused?"

"Could it be that the three angels originally jointly controlled the Blood Angels Legion? Could it be that they have three Primarchs?"

"If that's the case, that's too overpowered!"

But Mephiston still accepted this choice.

Therefore, he became an extremely dangerous figure in the Blood Angels Chapter, and many important members of the Chapter, such as Chapter Chaplain Astorath, have wanted to eliminate him more than once, but their attempts were unsuccessful.

On one hand, it is because Mephiston's strength is too powerful, and on the other, it is because of Dante's protection.
