The Emperor’s Angel of Death

#2589 - Army of Steel

Facing Balzavft's exposure of his identity, accompanied by sarcastic remarks, Soshyan simply responded with a sneer, knowing there was no need to argue with a dead man, and then slowly said:

"How pathetic, it seems this is all the value you have in Eidolon's eyes."

These words instantly ignited Balzavft's nerves. The potion he had drunk also began to accelerate his blood flow, and he narrowed his eyes.

"You really think I'm afraid? I have so many warriors here, you alone—"

But Soshyan suddenly raised Skyfire, a movement that made all Slaanesh cultists subconsciously raise their weapons. They were all on edge now, because the pressure from this giant was too strong.

Then, the next second, the strange weapon tapped lightly on the floor with its end.

Clack clack clack—

Neat and heavy footsteps echoed above the crowd, and then a cloud drifted out of the ramp, causing all Slaanesh cultists to break out in cold sweat!

They were rows of robots, all black and gleaming coldly, with a red and black Black Sun relief standard on their chests. Their angular heads drooped in the center of their chests, like abrupt mountain peaks. Their sculpted faces were like the funerary masks of ancient kings. Each robot had a long-barreled cannon and an exaggeratedly large fist on its arms, and a giant weapon hung behind them.

Walking in front of the hundred Soul Haunters were six bizarre multi-legged machines. They were like some multi-armed and multi-legged deities from ancient Earth's primitive mythology. Dark halos surrounded them, and the weapons on their multiple arms were all chilling. Even more terrifying was when their circular heads turned, the red scanning rays would sweep across the crowd. At that time, both Slaanesh warriors and mutants felt a cold gaze, a sentient gaze.

Bang!

After a neat step, accompanied by a slight tremor in the floor, the powerful battle robot legion stood quietly behind Soshyan.

Looking at the motionless Balzavft, Soshyan raised Skyfire, scaring the other party to take half a step back and grasp the weapon at his waist.

This action only drew a low sneer from Soshyan. He pointed at the other party contemptuously with Skyfire and laughed:

"Don't be afraid, I won't kill you."

"Hmm?"

"Because, you are not worthy of my killing."

"Ha!"

Suddenly, Soshyan pointed Skyfire at Miriel Sabathiel, who was standing about fifty meters away from Balzavft, in front of a dozen fallen sisters and cultists.

"You are... were a sister? I heard that the Order of the Martyred Lady once had a great traitor, named Miriel Sabathiel, is that you?"

Viletz had also told Soshyan about this fallen high-ranking Battle Sister. This was a top-secret matter of the Ecclesiarchy, only accessible to the Abbess of the Order. Even after Miriel Sabathiel's fall was discovered, the Ecclesiarchy did not dare to send the three Orders of the Adepta Sororitas to hunt down their traitor, but instead sent warriors from the Convent Prioris to deal with it. It was also for this reason that the Order of the Ebon Chalice, one of the three Orders of the Convent Prioris, had records about this traitor.

Initially, Soshyan was also surprised by the fall of the Sisters of Battle, but then he thought that sisters are ultimately mortals. They can create miracles, but they can also create sins, just like a coin has two sides.

He just didn't expect to run into the Ecclesiarchy's biggest "pain point" here. After all, the Ecclesiarchy's propaganda to date has been that no sister has ever fallen. If this matter were exposed, it would be absolutely devastating. Therefore, she has unparalleled "value" to the Ecclesiarchy, and is, in a sense, one of the highest-priced bounties in the galaxy.

Discovering Soshyan staring at her, Miriel Sabathiel restrained her enchanting charm, because she sensed danger. This was someone even her master was wary of. However, she couldn't show fear, so she cleared her throat and cursed in a shrill voice:

"Now I am a servant of the great Painbringer Balzavft! I have nothing to do with that decaying Corpse Emperor! And aren't you also a traitor to that decaying empire? When you were frolicking in bed with the Alien Queen, you were already the same as me!"

Soshyan just smiled coldly at this.

"No need to be stubborn, I'm looking forward to seeing how the Ecclesiarchy will purify you when I hand you over."

As soon as he finished speaking, the visual equipment of all the battle robots turned into a dangerous red, followed by rays of lightspeed, arcs, rumbles, loud noises, and screams.

In the blink of an eye, the flight deck became a purgatory. Flesh and blood were splashed high, and charred bones fell to the ground. The Slaanesh cultists subconsciously opened fire, but their bullets were deflected by the energy fields. The six Annihilator Engines activated anti-gravity equipment and slid forward. Slaanesh warriors who tried to stop them were either blasted into molecules or cut open by dazzling beams, and their vaunted speed was useless.

In a few breaths, dozens of steaming metal-encased remains fell to the ground.

"Fight!"

At this time, Balzavft realized he had to resist, so he roared and drew the Sharnabal saber, representing the former court blade, and then grasped the hilt of another long knife behind his waist. It was called Whisper's Edge, which was also his little-known real trump card, and the root of his ability to build such a force after leaving the legion.

He obtained this demon blade from a lost demon world by defeating dozens of opponents. Its original name was the Azure Crystal Blade, and there was also a story about jealousy and competition - once two demon princes, in the name of Slaanesh, plundered and attacked the same star region, but jealousy of each other's achievements made them start to fight each other. They both transformed their palaces into pleasure dens and alluring torture chambers, carefully arranged new and perfect large-scale sacrifices, and created ingenious devices that could elicit subtle pain, but they still could not defeat each other and gain more favor from Slaanesh.

Finally, one demon prince came to a lost Aeldari world and found a mysterious cyan crystal preserved in an abandoned but magnificent Isha temple of the ancient Aeldari empire. He discovered the mysterious power within it and used the power of that strange soul furnace in the warp to shape a blade with incredible precision. Even if an ordinary mortal held it, he could split a strand of hair from the middle without breaking it. He planned to offer this weapon as a gift to his master, Slaanesh.

The other demon prince was unwilling to admit defeat, so he made a very bold decision. While the other party was being attracted by his subordinates, he came to the other party's treasure house to steal it, but found that the other party had cast extremely powerful spells that could not be stolen. Therefore, in anger, he simply went all out and injected his own essence into this weapon, attempting to steal the other party's victory through this plan.
