"The righteous path of honoring God is the ultimate answer. It is normal for those who realize that they have been following a false path to turn back!"
If the Dark Lady's malicious spread of Erebus in the Warp and the Eye of Terror could stir up waves in those Chaos Astartes with insufficient cultural heritage, then its role in the Word Bearers was undoubtedly to stir up a tsunami of the Genesis level. To be sure, anyone who was doing well in the Word Bearers knew what kind of abominable thing Erebus was. However, the Word Bearers also knew that the reason why Erebus could survive and still have a certain say in the Word Bearers was that Erebus himself was not bad and was good at hiding. However, how could such a guy die like this? And it looked like he was killed by the Empire and Chaos together!
Of course, the various voices within the Word Bearers warband regarding this video did not affect the Word Bearers' current top brass.
Those high priests - or rather, the high priests of the Word Bearers, because of their strength, saw the essence of some existences in this video to varying degrees, and each of them had their own thoughts on this video that was full of certain meanings in their eyes - for example, were there any mistakes or omissions in the original body's true words? For example, at the beginning, were the Word Bearers on the right path?
Among them, the most violent priest was Kor Phaeron, who was as famous as Erebus in some places. After watching the video and confirming the authenticity of the video, the chief priest of the Word Bearers was so scared that he closed his door and started to read the primarch's mantra frantically. However, no matter how he read Lorgar's mantra and prayed to the gods, the answer he got was the most terrifying and crazy one. This made Kor Phaeron more panic, more crazy, and more timid, fearing that he would accidentally follow in Erebus's footsteps one day. Have the gods ever been tolerant of the Forsworn? No! There is absolutely no such thing!
As for the Primarch of the Word Bearers, Great Word Bearer Lorgar, who is theoretically at the center of the storm in the video?
Well - although it is ironic, after watching a bunch of his priests going crazy because of the various hints in the video, this demon primarch who was 'famous' for his eloquence realized that he could not explain some of the 'suspicious points' in the video - he simply chose to 'ignore' the video!
————————————————The dividing line of the highest sky————————————————————
“Hahahahahaha——————!!”
“Ga gaga gaga————————!!”
“Ehehehe————————!!”
“Hehehe——————!!!!”
The crystal lotus was trembling. The Lord of Change, who had watched the video of Erebus's 'magnificent' ending outside of fate, was laughing wildly. The entire crystal maze was like a living thing with epilepsy, rising and falling with the laughter of its moody god - causing the buildings in the maze to begin to change and reorganize wildly again - in the library, people had become accustomed to their creator laughing wildly at every turn because of something in recent times. The Tzeentch demons who reconstructed the Tzeentch domain calmly threw the burning books into the wind of chaos, and bound the newly formed pages into volumes and stuffed them into the bookshelf - each incredible In the fortress, the Tzeentch demons, lamenting that "the intelligence is problematic again", destroyed the no longer effective crystals in front of them, and then impatiently mobilized their own forces, trying to find the new knowledge learned by their main god from the endlessly changing energy - the worst were those Tzeentch believers who had just stepped into the way of Tzeentch in reality and were ambitious to "do big things" - they were unfamiliar with the temper of their master, and easily "pleased" their god at this time, and then, all of them were treated as either turned into Chaos Eggs at the lightest, or sent directly to the Tzeentch Demon Realm to "drink tea" at the worst.
"Stop laughing! You slime monster! Help me think about how to make those powers that "He" took away and that should belong to us return to our own hands!!!"
Beside the Supreme Eagle's ears, the Dark Prince's iconic voice rose and fell, gently plucking the crystal threads in the Tzeentch Labyrinth, wantonly "tempting" those less determined souls in the Tzeentch Labyrinth - before, the Transformation Heaven would have kicked out the "guest" who he "invited" to discuss things, but now...
Tzeentch just wants more beings to hear his laughter!
"Is this drama not to your liking? Lustful One? Why do you want it in His hand to be under your command?"
"It's because it suits my taste so well that I can't bear to see the Pearl covered in dust! Mutator! I know you have the most knowledge about Him! We can trade!"
The increasingly anxious voice of the Dark Prince was heard in the wind of the void - after watching the entire scene of "Erebus", Slaanesh found that a desire that he had never experienced before was stirred in his heart - a desire to make the being who was supposed to be under his command, but was serving the cursed for some reason, serve him - this desire was so strong that the youngest goddess did not even find the souls of the Dazzling Elves fragrant.
“I’m sorry—even though I want to say that I’m willing to trade with you, right now I can only give you a ‘no’ answer! Because, I still don’t understand how He did it! Ahahahahahaha!!!”
All kinds of knowledge surged and fell frantically before his eyes, and countless mysterious phantoms of fate began to try to become real under the stroke of Tzeentch's fingers. When the Supreme Eagle came out of this weird obsession, the 666 demon armies of Slaanesh, who felt that Tzeentch was playing a trick on them, had already blasted open the gates of the Fortress of Illusion.
"Ah ha? Another change! Up!!!"
Tzeentch danced wildly, releasing nine hundred and ninety-nine Tzeentch demon armies, and fought with Slaanesh's troops in his own territory - although he might suffer heavy losses in this battle, so what?
After all, change is a good thing!
Volume: Big Mixed Up! Big Mixed Up!
1. The Hammers meeting at Big E's house
At three o'clock in the morning, everything was silent.
In his room, Brother E, in his bathrobe, was sitting on a chair.
, staring fixedly at the chess endgame on the table in front of him under the dim light of the bedside lamp - a game in which, although it seemed that the black and white sides were still deeply entangled, the outcome was already decided.
"Malcador..."
Recalling the bits and pieces of the past related to this chess game, Big E reached out his hand and slowly picked up a chess piece from the chessboard. He gently rubbed the edges and corners of the chess piece and murmured the name of his best friend in his hometown world. He remembered very clearly that this chess game was the result of him and Malcador doing their best to represent the two opposing sides at the moment when the four Chaos Gods overturned the table, and condensed the ups and downs of the entire galaxy on the chessboard. After this chess game, his old friend knew what he had to bear, and he also embarked on his road to fight against fate...
"A Thousand Sons, The Burning of Prospero, huh..."
Recalling this world's description of the actions of the Chaos God in that very short period of time, which completely sent the human empire into a future where it could no longer escape the gods of the warp, Big Brother E let out a meaningless chuckle and gently placed the chess piece in his hand back on the chessboard. Then, he opened the drawer next to him and took out a large number of chess pieces from it.
“Now, I can flip the table, too.”
While Big Brother E was speaking words full of malice towards the Four Chaos Gods, he took out the chess pieces from the drawer and placed them one by one in the squares on the chessboard. Soon, the "color" representing the empire filled up the entire chessboard, completely suppressing the side representing the enemies of the empire without any room to maneuver.
"In this way, the chess game has a way out again."
Looking at the chess game in front of him, which was extremely illegal for the Empire, Big E nodded with satisfaction, yawned loudly, and turned to look at the electronic clock on the bedside table. At this time, he realized that the time had come to about 4:30 in the morning, less than an hour and a half before his usual wake-up time!
"Forget it, I won't sleep today. It just so happens that I have to gather everyone together for an important test today. As long as the result of this test is good, it means that I can try to start prying the "anchor point" representing the past, and start implementing the next plan..."
After thinking it over again and again, Big Brother E decisively gave up today's rest time, walked to his golden chair and sat down. In an instant, his will returned to his hometown, and the familiar feeling of billions of prayers and the chaos of the subspace tearing the soul apart suddenly filled his soul.
"Give it to me—go!"
Accompanied by the echo of the sound that mortals could not understand at all, and accompanied by the raging waves of the vast ocean due to the will of the Lord of Humanity, the radiance of the cold sun burst out from time, and went straight along the countless wishes carefully selected by the Emperor of Humanity in the vast ocean, turning into countless spiritual anchors, rushing towards reality, and locking onto a certain time node in the reality of the 40k universe -
Everything was locked onto the galaxy of that time.
——————————————The dividing line between the Hammer guys————————————————————
A huge projection screen.
The magnificent Milky Way is projected onto the projection screen.
The red skull mark that is marked on this galaxy can be called "overflowing".
And there is a task robot standing next to the screen, with tasks hanging on it.
Well, there was also Big E standing next to the screen with a serious expression, and the Hammer guys sitting in the audience in a meeting-like manner - well, it can't be said to be very well-behaved, at least, some were sleeping, some were distracted, some were eating snacks, some were playing chess, some were playing with their phones, and there were even two people playing a 500-point gang battle on the desktop - it can be said that everything is available...
"Everyone, first of all, I want to express my gratitude to you. With your help, my world finally sees a glimmer of hope in escaping the doomed fall."
Big E, who didn't care about the "disrespectful behavior" of the hammer guys below, got straight to the point and first expressed his gratitude to the hammer guys. After hearing Big E's gratitude, several hammer guys felt embarrassed. Group 6 9 4 9 3 6 1 3 5
"Not really, not really. Big E, this is a win-win situation for us."
"Yeah, it's a little awkward to say thank you."
"We haven't done much right now. To fulfill your ultimate dream, Big E, you have to at least repair the webway, right?"
"We can also find some time to clear Commorros and move the core hub of the human empire directly there - but if that's the case, Terra shouldn't be able to move?"
"There must be no other way... Big E doesn't dare to move his butt in 40K. Judging from the various overt and covert hints from GW, blowing up a second ward is a small matter. The most catastrophic thing is that Big E directly sits in the fifth bird position in the warp! Wait, now that Big E has ascended to our side, Big E, if you stand up, it should be... less risky?"
"I don't think Big E can answer this question either. Moreover, judging from the various metaphysical causal relationships in 40K, Terra cannot have any problems. If the human race's home planet is extinguished in the sea of stars, in the style of the 40K universe, it will definitely mean the complete demise of humanity."
"Indeed - that is to say, even if we put the Comoros dance
Clear the customs on the platform, send the Comorian Overlord brother to the Silver Palace of Slaanesh for fun, and Big E's toilet problem in Terra still needs to be solved? "
"That's the theory - but why send the Overlord of Comoros to the Silver Palace of Slaanesh?"
"Where else can I give him? You don't want to give him to the Dark Lady, do you? Oh, by the way, Dark Lady, have you finished adding the accessories to your Lusaka Demon?"
"The shape is done, but it's not colored yet. I've been busy writing my weird book "Star of Colchis" recently, and inspiration is flowing - don't mention it, I'm even considering using the points to ask the servo skull on the ship to help me with the finishing of the back half..."
"If you have too many points, you can give them to ——"
As the first Hammer guy started talking, the Hammer guys successfully completed their daily chat process - moving from one thing to another and then to something even more outrageous. When the political commissar sister finally brought the topic back to what Big E said, the Hammer guys had already been chatting nonsense for about ten minutes...
"The help you provided me is indeed incalculable, my friends. With your help, some heroes who shouldn't exist in my home world have begun to be active, and some abominations who could have been active for a longer time have lost a lot of possibilities to stir up the storm in the real universe. All of this has begun to guide my home world in an unknown direction in the future. Although I don't know what the final result will be, it is a much better direction than a destined future anyway."
Seeing that the Hammer guys had finally finished their daily bragging, Big E slowly continued talking. At the same time, he tapped the screen lightly with his hand - suddenly, an Astra Militarum troop and two Astartes Brothers regiments appeared on the projection screen.
"Sister Political Commissar, have we seen the flag of this IG army somewhere before?"
Looking at the battle flag of the IG army fluttering in the wind on the battlefield on the screen, Liang Feifan always felt that it looked familiar. However, because it had been severely washed away by various flags recently, he could not remember where he had seen this flag.
"Let me think about it - isn't this a variation of the flag of the hive world where we were first abducted by Big E to fight? Big E, you're not going to tell us that this Astra Militarum is the same unit that fought alongside us back then?"
The political commissar sister was slightly stunned as she dug out from her memory where the emblem on this battle flag most likely originated.
"Yes, the pride of the Jodis world, the Jodis Holy Relics Group - in the 'now', they have proudly walked into the sea of stars, fighting in the name of protecting humanity."
Big Brother E's tone was clearly filled with relief.
"...This wolf pack leader looks very friendly - wait! Isn't this the Galilean Wolf? Looking at him, could he be the Wolf Master of Dalian?"
Gu couldn't help but screamed when he recognized the Space Wolf warrior leading the second picture, the one with lightning claws on both hands and wearing equipment that was very unlike that of a Space Wolf.
"Yes, after Sven Bloodhowl died in the Blackstone Fortress, Galli Fierce Wolf - now his name has been changed to Galli Shadow Wolf, became the Wolf Lord of this Great Company, a company mainly composed of Primaris Space Marines, called Shadow Wolf Great Company, good at ambush, infiltration, lightning warfare and other non-frontal battlefield methods, not so 'Space Wolf' Great Company."
I don't know why, but the Hammer guys always feel that when Big E was very serious about saying the news about the Gary Wolf - oh no, now it should be called the Gary Shadow Wolf, he seemed to be holding back a smile for an unknown reason.
"This group - okay, it's super obvious, the Swords of Hatred, the small group that should have been wiped out when we were dealing with the Nurgle three-star system - it seems that they have developed well? They also have PSM? But what mission are they carrying out?"
With the tips from the first two "old acquaintances", the more senior Hammer guys easily recognized who the Primaris Astartes in the third picture belonged to. While feeling sad that the fate of this small chapter had changed for the better, the Hammer guys also noticed that the Sword of Hatred Chapter did not seem to be engaged in frontal combat?
"They are assisting the Adeptus Mechanicus in excavating ruins. In addition to the Blood Ravens, the Sword of Hatred is also a well-known Astartes Chapter in the Empire that is good at excavating ruins. Although the Sword of Hatred cannot handle ruins of the same standard as the Blood Ravens due to its size, they are better in that they don't ask questions or try to find ways to 'take something home'. In addition, there is a Adeptus Mechanicus stationed in that system to refine the remaining promethium, so some smaller orders are more willing to hire them for help."
The corners of Big E's mouth curled up, and he didn't even try to act out the fact that he couldn't hold back his laughter.
"...Okay, God's Chosen, it seems that you are the most capable among us. You gave the Wolf Group a new Dalian, and then you created a little Blood Crow. Don't you have anything to express in return?"
If the development of the matter of the Galilee Shadow Wolves was still roughly within the thinking circuit of the Hammer guys, they were completely speechless when they encountered the Sword of Hatred, a tattered regiment that actually became good friends with the Oil Guys - helping the Mechanicus to dig graves has always been a high-risk and high-reward job in the 40K worldview, and an ordinary Astartes regiment is not qualified to take on such a task. However, the Sword of Hatred regiment actually... became a regiment in this direction?
"Generally - So, Big E, these are the 'heroes that didn't exist originally' that you mentioned? Are they related to us in their birth, so, do they have some... strange connection with you?"
The Chosen One first 'reservedly' stated that this was probably his basic operation, then turned to Big E and asked him why he showed these warriors to his fellow Hammers - and soon, he got Big E's nod.
"Yes, so as long as the conditions are met, even if they don't pray, you can use them as anchors and descend on the battlefield they are on - and this is one of the things I want to tell you when I invite all of you to the meeting this time."
"Then the second one is this galaxy map? Could the skull dots on it be prayer points? Big E, don't nod! Deny it!!!"
After counting the number of skulls on the galaxy map on the projection screen, Liang Feifan felt a little dizzy - the number was definitely in the thousands - he was sure of it!
"It's just a 'prayer point' - in open world terms, it's a timed mission in the open world. You can choose to do it or not - this galaxy map is what it looked like after my Thirteenth Son returned to the Empire. I believe you have all noticed this detail."
The Hammer guys nodded. After all, the huge rift on this 40K galaxy map was very conspicuous no matter how you looked at it.
"All you have to do this time is to read the task list and choose the prayer point you want to go to - there are no restrictions. The entire operation will last until I am sure that I have completed something. During this time, I will always support you from the throne."
"What's the matter? Big E, you don't need riddles in front of us, right?"
"Um......"
After thinking about it for a while, Big E felt that there was really no need to tell this matter in a riddle in front of the Hammer guys, so he ran his finger across the projection screen, outlining a straight line and a "branch" extending from this line.
"I want to make sure whether this unknown direction is truly 'solid'."
2. The Jodis Brave Group received a strange mission
This is really a ridiculous thing.
Lieutenant Bonke of the Jodis Brave Regiment was standing on the roof of a steel building in the ruins of the hive city of this planet, currently being used as a temporary military camp by his team, holding a cigarette in his mouth. He repeatedly recalled the orders he had received from his superiors not long ago, trying to understand word by word whether this passage had other meanings. However, no matter how Lieutenant Bonke used his knowledge to quibble with the words in this passage, the meaning of this passage, which did not look like a task issued by the Military Affairs Department system, was clear and objective.
"Lieutenant, I don't understand why we have to meet an alien troop here, and they are... Titanium? Such a ridiculous mission, is it really not a deception?"
Standing next to Lieutenant Bonke, a sturdy man whose right arm had been replaced by a mechanical arm was chewing a kind of chewing gum that was recently issued by the Imperial Military Affairs Department to their front-line combat personnel. It had multiple functions such as "refreshing, relieving psychological pressure, adjusting the digestive system, and it was said that it could also solve trace amounts of toxins deposited in the blood." At the same time, he directly expressed his thoughts in a slightly dissatisfied tone. In the eyes of this veteran who had served in the Jodis Brave Corps for several years, it was a great blessing for a bunch of alien creatures not to send them to hell in the name of the Emperor. How come... there was even a mission to protect the aliens?
"This mission is indeed absurd, but precisely because it is absurd, it is less likely to be fake. If they want to give us such an outrageous fake order, the State Church, the Military Affairs Department, and even the Inquisition would have to agree. What do you think is the probability that these three organizations will have problems at the same time?"
Lieutenant Bonnke took a deep puff of his cigarette, letting the smoke swirl around in his lungs to provide some stimulation before answering his deputy's question. In fact, at the beginning, he also suspected that this absurd mission was a conspiracy of some hostile forces, but now...
He just wants to give some guys the middle finger!
"The probability is at least not zero - it's not like we haven't fought some 'stuff' before."
Lieutenant Bonnke's deputy was hinting at something - as a Celestial Army Corps whose real name was actually the 'Jodis Relic Corps', the elite of the Jodis Brave Corps were allowed to touch many more things than ordinary Celestial Army Corps. Therefore, fighting with things that mortals were not allowed to touch under normal circumstances was one of the things they would touch - especially now that the Great Rift was expanding, the existence of those things was already a semi-open secret in the Empire...
"If that's the case, we'll be in big trouble."
Speaking lightly about something that was actually terrifying for a normal Astra Militarum soldier, Lieutenant Bonke took another deep puff of his cigarette, causing the exhaled smoke to form a pretty good-looking smoke ring in front of him - however, before his deputy could continue his words, the order from his captain sounded in his earphone.
"All officers above the company level will return to their bases immediately for an important meeting."
——————————————————Lieutenant Bonnke is returning——————————————————
Confused.
Whispering
.
Double-check whether the report in your hand is authentic.
He looked at the political commissar who was attending the meeting with him with an inquiring look to determine if there were any other reasons for this incident.
If it weren't for the discipline, a bunch of men would have already started cursing. (Monthly fee group 694936135)
"I know you all don't understand why our Jodis Brave Group not only has to meet this Titanium Alien force that is about to arrive in this galaxy, but also has to guard them for a long time. Actually, I don't understand it either, but this is an order given to us by the Military Affairs Department, so we have to execute it even if we don't understand it."
Standing on the stage, looking around at the expressions of his officers, he knew very well that they were as furious as himself about the series of meaningless orders from the Military Affairs Department. The current leader of the Jodis Brave Group - who lost an eye and a leg in the battle, but was still fighting on the front line, Joel slammed the table in front of him with anger and helplessness - as the Empire's Astra Militarum, they had their own pride, however, the orders given to them by the Military Affairs Department undoubtedly forced them to put aside this pride and prioritize the mission!
"It's normal for the mission to be strange, but the Military Affairs Department should at least tell us what is worth protecting these aliens - at least let us understand it clearly, right? Otherwise, if we 'slip' or those aliens 'slip', who will bear the consequences?"
A certain unshaven officer said this as he quickly crumpled up the paper in front of him, lighted it with a lighter, and then threw it under his feet and stomped on it twice - this action, which would have been punished under normal circumstances, was ignored by his regimental commander and his political commissar, as if he had done nothing.
"If those aliens declare that they are willing to fight for the Holy Emperor and are very willing to sacrifice for the Empire, I don't think I can't accept the mission of the Munitions Department - the question is, is it possible?"
Lieutenant Bonnke nodded sympathetically, and at the same time said something that made most of the conference room laugh - the Jodis Brave Group had dealt with the Titanium a few times before, and had a very profound understanding of their "Greater Good" that was simply nonsense to the extreme - in the eyes of the Jodis Brave Group, would the Titanium, an alien that wanted to make all the sane beings in the galaxy believe in their nonsense about the Greater Good, be willing to fight for the Holy Emperor? I'm afraid tomorrow...
"It really is."
