"Ahaha - welcome, welcome, welcome to the world of pleasure, servant of the Usurper!"
Just as the Eye of Fortune was looking at the shadowy purple-black city wall in the distance, resisting the lingering chaotic aura around him, and trying to hide his existence with magic as much as possible, he began to think about what this change meant. Suddenly, a frivolous and elegant voice full of rich emotions that could shake the soul of the most determined person suddenly sounded in this wilderness full of sparks of desire. Along with this voice that was obviously not from the mortal world, a Slaanesh demon wearing a veil, holding a sharp blade, with pearls hanging from his neck and a crown on his head, walked out of a slowly rising purple mist with a strong musky smell, and slowly approached the direction of the Eye of Fortune. It was obvious that the keeper of the secrets had already grasped the arrival of the Eye of Fortune and had prepared a "feast".
"Servant of the Lord of Pleasure."
Although the Eye of Destiny's soul skipped a beat when its own existence was pointed out, the countless destinies that flashed before its eyes made it feel at ease. So, the great demon Tzeentch habitually created a series of illusions that were difficult to distinguish between true and false and projected them in all directions, while vibrating its own voice, letting it linger in this chaotic demonic realm in a way that its source could not be identified - according to the future it had glimpsed, as long as it did this, then things would move in a direction that was relatively more under its control.
only.....
"Oh, don't be so polite. Think about it. The mortal you value is loyal to the mortal I value. Moreover, the mortal you value also provides a lot of super interesting and super exciting ideas to the mortal I value! Really! What he did at the last moment made me happy from the bottom of my heart! You know, at that time, I was thinking about how to communicate with him and study art with him further!"
After hearing the response of the Eye of Fortune, the Slaanesh Demon stood there excitedly, twisting and turning and saying a lot of weird words that the Eye of Fortune had never expected. After easily figuring out what these words meant, the Tzeentch Demon felt that his bird face was a little "distorted", and at the same time, he roughly guessed what might happen next.
Sure enough, in the crackling
After saying a lot of good things about the leader of the Angels of Bliss warband, whose name the Great Daemon of Tzeentch didn't even know and who didn't care about his fate, and piling up some emotions for who knows what with a bunch of meaningless flowery words, the Great Daemon of Slaanesh suddenly changed the subject, and at the same time, the whole demon began to "bare its fangs and claws".
"But - the usurper's servant, you burned him, you killed him! I'm unhappy! I'm very unhappy! I need an explanation! I need compensation!"
"I will only follow the path that the great bird-god has pointed out for me, Servant of Pleasure."
Although he felt that the wind of the warp around him had been constantly "squeezing" him because of the emotional fluctuations of the Keeper in front of him, and the purple mist that continued to spread in the distance also indicated that more Slaanesh demons were rushing here, the Eye of Fortune was even less panicked. After peeking at a lot of destiny paths, the Eye of Fortune was certain that the great bird god would not let him dissipate so worthlessly in the Slaanesh Demon Realm. Therefore, he fell to this place because the omnipresent and omniscient Saint Tzeentch had some "deal" with the dark prince who squatted in his palace every day, which meant that although the Slaanesh demon in front of him seemed to be aggressive, he must have something to ask of him!
"As long as the usurper promises?"
The Secret Keeper tilted his head slightly, his tone becoming a little cute. Feeling that things seemed to be going in the wrong direction again, the Great Demon Tzeentch immediately clenched his staff, allowing 9 spells to enter the critical state of casting, and then answered the question irrelevantly.
"I have been listening to the words of the Demon Bird God."
"That's great! The Lord of Pleasure has promised me pleasure, the pleasure that I can get from you as compensation - He said that the Usurper has agreed to everything!"
“???!!!!!!”
The next moment, the Eye of Destiny knew the thoughts of the Bird-God, and knew the plan of the great Tzeentch - it howled and screamed, and was violently ejected from the domain of Slaanesh, rolling and crawling on the place where Kalansh was burned before - at this moment, the Hammermen's troops had knocked down the second crystal magic tower, and had already started to attack the third one, and the third crystal tower was already in a shaky state - the Eye of Destiny knew that when the third crystal tower collapsed and the number of crystal squares became six, it would be the time for itself to be 'sent to the contract'!
"Quack! The all-knowing and all-mighty Saint Tzeentch! I've tried so hard! Why!"
Feeling the crazy trembling of the magic thread around him, swallowing and spitting out the mixed wind of the Supreme Heaven, the Eye of Luck, who was still trying to struggle, let out a scream, but in return, he got the loud and wild laughter of the Demon Bird God.
“————Isn’t this great?”
——————————————The dividing line between the Hammer guys——————————————————
"That's weird, why is Slaanesh reacting so crazy again?"
Seeing a familiar thing appearing in the real-time data table of Udalia space pollution intensity jumping on the screen, the Chosen One spoke in confusion.
"Perhaps we have partially cleared the Tzeentch pollution, so the Slaanesh pollution that has not been completely dissipated has reappeared?"
Abathur speculated uncertainly.
"No, maybe... the possibility we just guessed has come true. Look, are there six crystal towers left?"
“So…?”
"Are we going to have to fight that disgusting Slaanesh thing again...?"
77. Battle of Udar - The Arrival of the Slaanesh Army
Thousands of knowledge rise and fall, thousands of destinies swirl, thousands of mysteries linger, and thousands of contradictions converge.
In the deepest part of the Crystal Labyrinth, the thoroughly excited Bird-Devil sat on a lotus pedestal, gently fiddling with the countless threads of destiny in the world of Udal, patiently listening to the screams of Carlos who was standing by his side, unraveling these supernatural sounds that any weaker Lord of Change would never have been able to find any valuable words from, and then integrating one new change after another into the chessboard swirling in front of him - before, even other Chaos Gods, once manipulated by Tzeentch in this way, would show part of their cause and effect, although this part of the cause and effect would most likely bring greater "surprises" to the Bird-Devil.
But this time, what surprised Tzeentch was that his own successful operation could not solve the mystery in his heart. No matter how he added variables, no matter how he pulled the fate, the fate of the world of Udal still did not present to him even a single word of the causal path of the servants of the cursed who appeared in the world like a mystery - from the perspective of the subspace, these creations of the Lord of Mankind who suddenly intervened in the fate of Udal seemed to have existed there, on the world of Udal, today, tonight, and of course forever.
But Tzeentch knew that this answer was wrong - on the other side of the timeline, Tzeentch had already used the existence of a great demon to reveal part of their way of existence in the physical universe, and the experience of the Eye of Luck further proved that these guys must be "projected" or "summoned" by some means to intervene in the physical universe - although they did not stir ripples in the subspace at all. But Tzeentch was sure that his judgment was correct.
"Not enough—no—like this—like this? Like this! Yes, that's it! Just do it this way!"
With the crystal fans
The solutions to the questions in the palace piled up, and the form of the Supreme Eagle became more and more ethereal. After 99,999 changes, with the support of the few words that Carlos had seen, the wonderful spark finally broke out in the consciousness of the magic bird, and Tzeentch's laughter began to sweep across the Crystal Labyrinth. In the laughter, the endless power of tampering surged crazily, along the chaotic road newly outlined by the Lord of Destiny, surging to the demonic domain of Slaanesh, and also to the real world, at the time when Udal was fighting fiercely.
“Go—go—!”
—————————————The Hammers’ dividing line————————————————————
"Tyranid Swarm, keep attacking!"
"Boys, keep suppressing the fire, don't give the Chaos Fragments even a chance to breathe!"
"Boss, the firepower here is a bit below standard. Sister Political Commissar, do you have any way to provide some firepower support?"
"Hold on for a few minutes. I'll help Krieg dismantle the Chaos roadblocks ahead and then I'll turn around and help you - fire!"
"Lack of attacking firepower? Do you need me to throw my remaining oilers over here?"
"No hurry. Your troops have limited long-range attack capabilities. Wait until we control the second front before charging. After all, it seems that the arrival of the Slaanesh army is unstoppable. Gu, let your troops retreat from the central area in an orderly manner. Don't give away too many for nothing."
"Don't worry! I've already planned the route!"
On the bridge of the Queen of Glory, the Hammermen, who had roughly guessed what might happen next, were desperately pouring firepower forward, trying their best to destroy everything related to Chaos. Before, the Hammermen tried to focus their fire on a remaining Tzeentch tower, but found that their firepower intensity was already difficult to break its defense, so they changed their tactical approach to purification and control. Under the torrential "scouring" of the chess pieces, the second line of defense of the Tzeentch army fell at an extremely fast speed, and then in the hands of the Terra Fist, Iron Fist and the Krieg, it even faster became a temporary line of defense for the Empire.
"So, what on earth is that Tzeentch doing? Why did it suddenly withdraw after taking control and throw the control back to Slaanesh? And why did it 'kindly' prepare a ritual venue for Slaanesh?"
The defense line was successfully established, and the fluctuating subspace pollution on the screen was temporarily stabilized within a certain degree. Feeling that things were a little back to their control, the Hammers continued to mobilize the subsequent chess pieces to Udal, and at the same time, they involuntarily began to study Tzeentch's ideas. Admittedly, the Hammers knew that Tzeentch's ideas might not be understood by Tzeentch himself, but...
I really can't help
"Don't ask. If you ask, the plan is clear - maybe you really think the idea is difficult to implement and you can just leave the mess to Slaanesh to deal with?"
"Although Tzeentch can really do something that normal people can't understand, but, if a Tzeentch demon does this, won't it become a laughing stock of the Tzeentch family?"
"...As long as the plot doesn't focus on Tzeentch's family, when has Tzeentch not been a laughing stock? Even Tzeentch himself has some meaningless clownish behavior, right? If you ask, it's a change. If you ask again, it's a win no matter what. Forget it, let's continue to study how to move forward and control more areas before Slaanesh shows up. That would be more reliable...Huh? Tzeentch's reaction?"
"Wait, I'll get my chops to look over there right now - what the fuck?"
As the first-hand pictures of Pai Gu were sent back to the Queen of Glory, the miserable appearance of a certain Tzeentch Demon was presented to the Hammer Guys without reservation - except for the eyes of the Eye of Luck which were still flashing, the entire demon looked like a plucked chicken - in fact, if it weren't for the still violent subspace reaction on its body, the Hammer Guys would find it hard to believe that this thing bound in mid-air by magic shackles was a Changeable Demon Lord.
"Forehead......."
"this?"
However, before the Hammers could "react" to the stimulation of the scene before them, the state of the Eye of Luck changed again astonishingly, with strings of crystal runes originating from the Crystal Labyrinth suddenly emerging beside the Great Demon, lingering and infiltrating, and the physical form of the Great Demon of Tzeentch quickly collapsed and shrank, and finally turned into a golden Eye of Tampering quietly suspended in the air - seemingly tangible, but intangible.
And at the moment when the big demon completely turned into the demon eye, the six Tzeentch towers were shattered and turned into six deep purple smoke pillars - a strange and melodious singing came from the smoke, and an intoxicating fragrance spread with the singing.
The realm of Slaanesh began to erode reality, and the Great Demon of Slaanesh, with its demon army, prepared to happily "welcome" the unknown.
Maybe, it's pleasure?
78. Battle of Udal - Big E's Plan
Carver, bone modeler, eye of beauty, hand of art...
All these titles belong to the Slaanesh Daemon - Nagrigan. Although, as a keeper born from the artistic concepts of sculptures and murals surging in the warp, Nagrigan is not a Slaanesh Daemon who is good at fighting, but this does not mean that this keeper does not desire to go to the material universe to harvest lives - in fact, when he felt the call of the Bliss Angels Warband before, Nagrigan could not wait to summon all the Slaanesh demons he could summon, and was ready to go to reality.
Therefore, at some point before, this Slaanesh demon realized that the connection between itself and the material world was actually intercepted by that thing that had no sense of beauty, was blue, changeable, soft and hard, and who knows how to describe it. The resentment and pain in its heart almost made it overturn the work it was carving on the spot.
However, after Tampering Heaven 'frankly' admitted his mistakes and promised to help it enter the real world it had felt before as quickly and as well as possible, and would not compete with it for the mortal souls in that world, Nagrigan immediately turned his anger into joy - Prince of Darkness! He still had a chance to contribute better and more sophisticated artistic achievements to Paradise!
So, the moment the door opened, the Slaanesh Demon, who smelled the scent of the material world behind the door and whose heart was filled with the materials or better things he was about to hunt, led his subordinates through the crystal archway filled with the fragrance of Slaanesh without a second thought and stepped gracefully into the world of Udal - but when it took a deep breath of the mortal air, wanting to smell the scent of pain, torture, death and other things that intoxicated the Slaanesh demons, the terrible burning sensation that rushed into its nostrils almost made this Slaanesh Demon roll ungracefully on the spot.
"This world??"
After spending almost a second to get rid of the sour feeling that had just "rushed straight to the head", Nagrigan, who felt that something seemed a little wrong, immediately mobilized his own power, and with the refinement and elegance unique to the Slaanesh faction, turned them into spider-web-like fine lines, spreading in all directions - soon, the "expression" of the Slaanesh demon began to distort.
Is this world connected to me? Yes! Does this world have a soul? Yes!
But! Why is this world filled with the breath of the cursed? And! It seems that there are quite a few?
"go!"
At this point, how could Nagrigan not realize that he had been tricked? As a Slaanesh Daemon that had existed for who knows how many real years, how could he not understand that Tzeentch was playing the long game? A trap that could make the bird-god sacrifice a Daemon in order to trap him in, that level of trap was definitely not something that a low-level Slaanesh Keeper like him could resist!
However.....
“???!!!!!!”
The chuckle of the Supreme Eagle sounded in the ears of the Great Daemon of Slaanesh, and nine crystal fragments floated away in Nagrigan's supernatural vision. The curtain between the warp and reality at the ceremony site of the Udal world, which was already very thin, was torn open viciously by the Fate Tamperer's unreasonable and reckless attack. Although the counterattack of the real world and the lack of subsequent energy support from the Demon Bird God caused the crack to disappear like lightning, but...something has happened.
A piece of Slaanesh, and everything on it, was sent to the real world! It became a purple scar on the world of Udal!
"Try hard, please me, show me the answer, show me everything - Sasoril! You take 999 troops to the border to prevent the attack of Paradise! - Yes! I want to see clearly! See clearly!"
"I%＆……%*＆! Warriors of Slaanesh! Follow me! Kill all the subordinates of that blue bastard first!"
Stepping on the Slaanesh Desire Land that was forcibly inserted into the real world, he completely realized that his current situation was extremely bad. The Slaanesh Demon surpassed the most powerful shrew in Terra's history. After scolding Tzeentch for six minutes, he led his subordinates - the six Slaanesh demon armies that were currently on this Slaanesh Desire Land, each with 6,666 Slaanesh demons - to start the Slaanesh pilgrimage. Although the power of the cursed lingering in this world was like a thorn in its throat, and although there were at least thousands of mortal souls and flesh and blood in this world that could be collected, for Nagrigan now -
The most important thing it should do is to take revenge on Tzeentch who caused it to fall into this situation!
————————————————Above the Queen of Glory——————————————————————
"Uh? Big E, you mean that part of the Warp essence of the Slaanesh Realm was dragged by Tzeentch to the world of Udar? What consequences will this bring?"
On the bridge of the Queen of Glory, because after the appearance of the Great Daemon of Slaanesh, there was an abnormal outbreak of Slaanesh pollution without any warning, so the Hammer guys who paused their attack looked at Big E who contacted them on the screen and quickly understood what Big E meant. Liang Feifan spoke up immediately.
"Yes, although the whole thing was caused by Tzeentch's conspiracy, this is an opportunity to make Slaanesh suffer real losses - although, for a destructive power like it, such a loss is even smaller than a speck of dust."
"But if the health bar limit is cut, it's cut. Even if it's only reduced by one, it's still the upper limit, right? Big E, how do you say to cut it? We'll do it!"
The Chosen One rubbed his hands vigorously, entering an excited state, and the other Hammers also began to be eager to try - a chance to lower the upper limit of the health bar of one of the Mighty Ones of Destruction? This is simply too exciting!
"A powerful attack, a devastating attack before the subspace 'retracts' its tentacles. After the battle begins, I will do my best to use my power to temporarily enhance the strength of your pawns.
Make them more deadly when facing the creatures of the warp - according to the description on the table, all your chess pieces can get an extra 1 damage against demons in this battle, and can get an extra 1 special protection against demon attacks. In addition, if your chess pieces lose all W due to demon attacks, they can be allowed to continue fighting for one round. "Six-nine-four-nine-three-six-one-three-five
"Ah? So outrageous? You won't have any adverse reactions from this, Big E?"
Hearing this super strong BUFF bonus which was almost equivalent to cheating after rounding off, the Hammer guys couldn't help but start to worry whether Big E could hold on, but Big E chuckled and gave the Hammer guys a "don't worry" answer.
"I can hold on. Besides, I also want to take this opportunity to give that blue software thing some 'answers' and let it see some 'things' it wants to see."
79. Battle of Udal - The Whistle Blows
The warp storm weakened again.
In a small room that only he could enter, the Rune Priest Tolom Frostscar of the Space Wolves gently put down the divination props in his hand, and after expertly wiping off the divination marks on the table, he looked at the answer presented to him by the runes hanging in front of him, and sighed deeply - ever since those comrades who had landed on the Sossiki world when the warp storm was the most intense and had fought side by side with them until now entrusted the STC to them and left, the weakening speed of the warp storm surrounding the Morton Hess system suddenly increased by an order of magnitude. Before, Tolom thought that they would at least be trapped in this system for quite a long time, but now, the Rune Priest felt that if the warp storm continued to decline at this rate, they would have a chance to contact the outside world in less than a month.
However, as an Astartes who had served for more than two hundred years and had carefully walked the path of the Rune Priest for a hundred years, Tolom knew very well that matters involving psychic energy and the Warp could never be easily fooled by the word "coincidence". He was almost certain that the rapid weakening of the Warp storm was closely related to the mysterious comrades who had left. However, the reason why it was almost was because -
Tolom was also very clear that for matters involving the Warp, sometimes, it was the right choice not to investigate in depth. Since the runes did not tell him more, there was no need for him to take the initiative to dig deeper - the documents in Fenris that only Rune Priests were qualified to read recorded a large number of mortals involved in the Warp who had "good intentions but bad results". Under the premise that the runes did not reveal more, remaining conservative and cautious was one of the virtues that Rune Priests needed most.
"How's the day, Tolom?"
When the Rune Priest collected all the things in the room and destroyed everything that needed to be destroyed, the voice of the Galilean Wolf was appropriately transmitted to his ears through the headset.
"The subspace storm is weakening faster than I expected. Assuming it continues to weaken at this rate for some time to come, in about a month, the astropathic communication between the Morton Hess system and the outside world, as well as subspace navigation, will be able to return to normal."
After packaging today's data and sending it to the Gallic Wolf, Tolom stood up from his seat, moved his shoulders slightly, opened the heavy door, and walked up the creaking corridor toward the ground. However, when he reached the exit, the Rune Priest was slightly surprised to find that the Gallic Wolf was waiting at the exit.
"Anything on your mind?"
Tolom could tell at a glance that Galliwolf was not looking for him on any official business. He took out a bottle of wolf wine from the old wolf's waist and drank two sips. Then he put his hand on Galliwolf's shoulder and walked with him to the Space Wolves' base, which was also the storage area of the STC.
"When I was resting just now, I saw the entire Udal slowly falling into a raging fire, and the emblem of the All-Father was shining on it - then, I woke up with a start."
Concise and concise.
"This means that the filth on the world of Udal will be purified, and our battle brothers will surely achieve final victory - at some point in the future, the entire Morton Hess system will return to the embrace of the Empire."
Quick answer.
"I understand."
Hearing his Rune Priest's very formulaic answer that could explain the meaning of his dream, Galilee Wolf didn't say much, silently took back his bottle of wolf wine from the priest and put it back on his waist. Looking at Galilee Wolf's actions, the Rune Priest, knowing that his captain simply wanted to confirm something with him, nodded slowly and took his hand off Galilee Wolf's shoulder.
“I believe that the All-Father has been watching them, from the beginning to the end.”
—————————————The dividing line in the world of Udal————————————————————
"For the Lord of Pleasure! Kill all the servants of the Usurper's House!"
With a loud shout, the Great Slaanesh Nagrigan was filled with anger at being deceived and fear of being wiped out in this world. Driven by the strange and fresh experience of the intersection of these two emotions, he led his demon army to frantically hunt down the Tzeentch demons still jumping around in the world of Udal - indeed, it could smell the current Udal world.
The emotions of the mortals in the world fluctuated slightly because of its appearance, but now it just wanted to kill Tzeentch!
"Gah—you can't stand up to Saint Tzeentch!"
Of course, although there was no leader on their side, the Tzeentch demons hunted by the Slaanesh demon army did not sit still and wait for death, but instead harnessed the remaining power of the Crystal Labyrinth on the world of Udal and fought back against the Slaanesh demons with all their might. The two warp forces guided the power of the immaterial world and collided wildly in reality, causing strange colorful things to spread continuously in the sky, and heart-pounding sounds to spread wildly along the air - there was no doubt that if such a battle was allowed to continue, it would only be a matter of time before the entire Udal world, no, even the entire Morton Hess galaxy, fell into the clutches of the warp.
only......
"Gah?"
"what!?"
When Nagrigan commanded his personal guards, transformed into an extremely vicious whip of Slaanesh, and whipped a group of stubbornly resisting Tzeentch fire demons and other Tzeentch demons mixed among them into pieces, and crushed their essence into dust, those golden clouds like raging flames suddenly surged above the sky, and burned at a very fast speed towards those areas above the sky that were contaminated by the filth of the Warp. In just a blink of an eye, the demons on the ground - as long as they had a breath left - all let out a shrill roar.
