Warhammer 40: From the League of Humans to Warhammer

Page 69

Khorne's crimson barrier caused the blade to spark with blinding flashes, Nurgle's putrid spores corroded the power field generator, and Tzeentch's warp runes crawled out spiderweb-like cracks on the blade.

As one of the Titans staggered backward due to weapon overload, the demon's six-fingered giant hand had already grabbed the head of another, with copper-green slime seeping from between its fingers.

That was Nurgle's "Sevenfold Regeneration Touch," and the corroded Titan armor was growing foul-smelling proliferative tissue at a visible rate.

In just the first round of combat, both Emperor-class Titans were completely destroyed by the demon's offensive.

At least that's how it seemed to the Imperial Army; even the Imperial Guards narrowed their eyes, watching the scene unfold in disbelief.

Two Emperor-class Titans joined forces, yet they were so easily crushed by this great demon!?

The Imperial Guard, Space Marines, and Grey Knights began to focus their fire on the Great Demon.

Although they had developed a sense of apprehension towards this great demon, and some soldiers even felt a slight fear.

But this feeling was instantly suppressed as they raised their weapons and unleashed a torrent of fire.

Such firepower poured upon the Chaos Demon caused it no harm whatsoever.

This is the great demon created by the four gods together, and the power it represents is an irresistible force.

A large amount of firepower hit the Great Demon, but it was all blocked within a 10-meter radius of him. Even energy attacks were neutralized by an invisible shield.

Even attacks from heavy weapons often follow the rule of "smoke but no damage".

The massive "Ka'ai-Kaine-Sla, Four-Crown World Slayer" paid no attention to the attacks aimed at it. Instead, it reached out and lifted the two Emperor-class Titans it was carrying.

He could see that two PDFs were still alive inside the Titan, glaring at him as if they were up to something.

The demon, newly born in this warp, watched these creatures with great interest, not believing that these tiny ants could pose any threat to him.

But the warning from Tzeentch the next instant made him quickly try to throw the Emperor-class Titan out of his hand.

Unfortunately, it was too late. The pilots inside the two Emperor-class Titans gripped the Chaos Demon tightly. Then, an unnatural red light emanated from the Titans.

"For humanity!"

The two pilots inside the Emperor-class Titans directly detonated the two Emperor-class Titans designed by Zhou Qing.

The internal super-powered engine began to operate at overload, preparing for self-destruction.

Two enormous mushroom clouds rose from the net channel.

The great demon, who had initially been quite disdainful, found both arms injured by the explosion the moment the smoke cleared. The self-destruction of the Emperor-class Titan had indeed inflicted considerable damage on him.

This scene relieved the Imperial troops behind them, and more Emperor-level Titans prepared to follow suit. However, what happened next shocked them.

When the smoke cleared, the arms of the Four-Crown World Slayer had already begun to writhe and recombine like boiling asphalt.

Nurgle's blessing allowed his flesh and blood to regenerate in a way that defied the laws of physics.

Broken bones intertwined like vines, muscle fibers stitched themselves together as if alive, and countless agonizing, wailing demonic faces appeared on the skin's surface before being quickly covered by newly formed keratin.

"A futile struggle." The devil's whisper echoed through the net, his voice a mixture of four distinct tones.

The roar of Khorne, the snicker of Tzeentch, the spitting of Nurghul, and the groans of Slaanesh.

At that moment, the Gray Knight Grandmaster's psionic communication exploded in Zhou Qing's tactical network: "Subspace contamination index detected! That thing's regeneration is not a physiological phenomenon, but a conceptual-level 'reconstruction of existence'!"

As if to confirm his warning, a copper-green fungal carpet suddenly spread under the demon's feet, and any metal debris that came into contact with it transformed into twitching chunks of flesh.

This is Nurgle's "Corruption Shrine"—the destroyed Titan remains twisted into dozens of lesser demons, dragging tentacles formed from mutated pipes, roaring as they lunged at the human defenses.

"Change to black ammunition!" The Imperial Guard commander's roar was transmitted to the ears of the surrounding soldiers through the tactical network.

The Grey Knights immediately switched to bomb guns loaded with anti-pseudo-bullets, while the Space Marines set up their molten weapons.

However, the blessing of the treacherous had already foreseen all of this.

The demon suddenly opened its blood-red maw and spewed out eerie, deep blue flames. These were no ordinary flames, but the "Flame of Paradoxical Fate," which instantly shrunk the future possibilities of anyone burned into certain death.

As soon as the three Terminator warriors raised their Storm Shields, their armor disintegrated into elementary particles without warning!

Slaanesh's blessing reached its peak at this moment. Whenever a cannonball exploded on the demon's body, amethyst-like iridescent light would burst forth from the wound, and his roars would gradually turn into a joyful tremor.

A Cyclone missile accurately struck its left eye, but what exploded was not flesh and blood, but a gushing out of pearly white mist.

The mist transformed into whip-like blades, twisting five nearby Sentinel mechs into metal twists.

Such is the power of the one blessed by the four gods. This is a demon that has gathered the divine authority of all the Chaos Gods. They are the crystallization of the battle created by the four Chaos Gods working together.

The four Chaos Gods succeeded. After this great demon launched its attack, the damage they caused far exceeded the damage they had inflicted over the previous few months.

Hundreds of PDFs died in this attack, and even two Emperor-class Titans were lost.

However, the damage caused by this great demon ended there.

The military combat robot sent by Zhou Qing has entered the bend, and the splitting cannon on its arm has also opened fire.

A beam of light shot directly at the great demon, and even though he possessed the blessing of the four gods, he was still as thin as a cicada's wing and was directly pierced through by the Disintegration Cannon.

All the blessings of the four gods were broken down and disappeared in a way that the four gods could not understand.

The light shone fiercely on the other person.

If it weren't for Tzeentch's blessing, which allowed him to foresee this event, this great demon might have been wiped out in this round of attacks.

Even if he was lucky enough not to have it erased, he had already lost half of his body.

The battle officially entered its second round, with the Great Demon, jointly created by the Four Gods, facing off against the military robots guarded by Zhou Qing, a Level 10 scientist from the Human Federation.

This combat robot, enhanced by hundreds of cycles of technology from the Human Federation, appeared before the Great Demon jointly forged by the four Chaos Gods.

Chapter 102 The Hope of the Four Chaos Gods Vanished Within an Hour

Kaai-Ka-Nai-Sla, the Four-Crown Worldbreaker, was steadily recovering. By the time the combat robot stood before him, his body had been fully restored.

However, this time he did not dare to charge as before. Instead, he looked at the humanoid combat robot in front of him with a look of fear.

The wicked authority and prophecy told him that if he dared to act rashly and charge head-on, he would most likely be completely banished by the attack he had just witnessed.

This was a clear warning that he would die if he dared to make any rash moves, so he dared not act rashly.

The combat robot did not act immediately; it was in a standoff with the Chaos Demon. It was pointless to simply erase such a demon in the warp; it had to be dealt with at its root to hinder the Chaos God.

This thing was created by the four Chaos Gods working together. If you just kill it, its essence will still remain and it can be resurrected in this form.

Zhou Qing did not want to see things turn out this way, so he was now ordering his 60 Gray Knight troops to carry out this anti-demon magic array.

The moment the magic circle succeeds, all the combat robots need to do is destroy the great demon chosen by the four gods, and the magic circle will eradicate the great demon's essence.

At that time, the authority that originally belonged to the Four Gods will return to them. The Four Gods cannot directly revive a great demon of this level.

They need to be remanufactured.

This means they will need at least another month, which will give Zhou Qing more time to continue slaughtering those ordinary demons.

The combat robot's height is about the same as an average person's; he's only 1.9 meters tall.

Compared to the four-crown world destroyer, this size was insignificant, since the other side was about the size of an Emperor-class Titan. However, no one would underestimate this combat robot.

Everyone saw the attack that thing just launched.

We almost sent that demon away, so don't underestimate its fighting power just because it's small.

Their combat strength is definitely top-notch.

Time slowly passed as the two combat units faced off, but as time went on, Tzeentch's prophecy became increasingly accurate.

A very dangerous prophecy appeared in the mind of this great demon.

If I rush to the front now, I'll be killed by that guy on the other side, but that kind of death is like death itself, and I can come back in just a few days.

However, if he continues to wait, he will soon be killed, and then even the Four Gods will be unable to save him.

Although he was just born and did not understand the difference between them, the wisdom from Tzeentch told him what he should choose and what he should not choose.

Complete death was not what he wanted; temporary death was something the Four Gods could accept.

"Blood sacrifice to the Blood God!!!"

Kaai-Ka-Nai-Sla, the Four-Crown Worldbreaker, suddenly unleashed a deafening roar, and Khorne's crimson energy instantly overwhelmed the blessings of the other three gods.

His body swelled to its limit, and what flowed beneath the stratum corneum was no longer blood, but the boiling essence of subspace.

—He chose to charge.

The combat robot's optical sensors flickered slightly, and after nanosecond-level calculations, its right arm's pyrolysis cannon was recharged.

This time, however, the cannons were not aimed at the demon's body, but at the dome of the net.

"Tactical Correction: Target Lock-on - Subspace Anchor Point."

The splitting beam did not directly attack the demon, but instead pierced through the network structure itself. In an instant, the entire battlefield distorted like a shattered mirror, and the boundary between reality and the warp was briefly torn apart.

"Grey Knight, now!"

The psionic energy of 600,000 Grey Knights resonated simultaneously, and the anti-demon magic circle beneath their feet suddenly lit up. Countless silver chains stretched out from the void, binding the demon's limbs.

These chains are not physical entities, but rather rule-based weapons embodied by the concept of "negating chaos".

The Four-Crowned World-Slaying One let out a scream that mixed four different tones.

Khorne's rage, Tzeentch's bewilderment, Nurgle's lament, and Slaanesh's trembling.

His body began to disintegrate, but not physically destroyed; rather, it was "conceptually erased."

"Subspace origin stripping detected," the combat robot's logic core coldly reported.

The demon's crimson portion (Khorne) evaporated like lava;

The azure wisdom of the cunning creatures transformed into scattered pages of magic, spontaneously combusting in the void.

The tarnished verdigris decayed and withered into ashes;

Slaanesh's purple glow shattered into millions of crystal fragments, falling into nothingness.

When the last wisp of chaotic energy was swallowed by the magic array, the entire network fell into an eerie silence.

This great demon, created by the four Chaos Gods themselves, was completely wiped out by the combined attack of a large army.

As for the Net Path that had just suddenly appeared in reality, the Emperor's power immediately sent them back to the subspace, while Zhou Qing initiated the repair and maintenance process.

A large amount of energy appeared directly on the dome, then converted into subspace energy, repairing it to prevent more demons from jumping down and disrupting the formation.

As a Level 10 scientist, he possesses a brain that is beyond the imagination of people in this universe.
