Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

…

Inside the Skull Fortress.

The Giant Skull Titan led the three remaining Titans over the heads of the infantry and entered the fortress first.

Then the Blood God's machines, led by Killer, quickly walked towards the hangar built by their master in the fortress, refusing any friendly forces to provide maintenance help, and refusing friendly forces to check the wounds suffered by the Titans.

As the Blood God extracted the power of the ritual and left a canyon in the dead wasteland of Broome, the ritual failed and all the Blood God's servants began to evacuate, and the war process was suspended, at least not until someone reached the vicinity of the Skull Fortress. There will be another war.

The atmosphere inside the fortress became a little more relaxed.

Karn led the men of the Butchers' warband into the fortress, which was somewhat tortuous as he killed the gatekeepers who insisted on identifying him.

But fortunately, the demon prince Ubondrak didn't mind Kahn's irritability and madness, and chatted with the Chaos lord who took the initiative to come to Broome to participate in the war, giving people a sense of stupidity and sincerity.

The vampires and demons were taken to their quarters in the fortress.

Inside one of the Blood God's machines, the demon prince named Killer was just about to stand up from the Skull Throne and go to discuss the next step of the war with Ubundrak.

"Master...Master..." A devil with a small body and a wrench crawled over and asked in a shrunken and weak voice towards the killing weapon: "Those enemies in the blood god's machine...hiss...those enemies... Should we..."

"I know there are enemies in my masterpiece!" Killer stood up from the throne and let out a roar that shook the entire Titan body.

Just the airflow generated from the mouth when roaring made the little devil stagger around.

"My masterpiece was indeed killed by the enemy by jumping into gangs...but I am the killing weapon." The killing weapon raised its sharp bloody claws.

The little devil doesn't understand. A murder weapon is a murder weapon. What does it have to do with this enemy joining the Titans?

"I have long considered the possibility that Titan might be jumped into the gang... From the blood I bathed in, I saw revelations from the Blood God. I even know who has joined the gang."

As if to show off or to cheer himself up, Killer began to explain his methods.

"Those intruders will enter the blood furnace. They will be lost and wither in the furnace, and then their blood and soul will become the fuel to drive the blood god's machinery."

"We don't have to do anything, we just have to wait."

"This is the Titan defense technology I developed. It is absolutely reliable!"

After listening to the master's story, the demon touched the structure at the bottom of its body, which can be called its head, "But master... why... why don't we ask for help from friendly forces? After all, the defense methods you applied to the Blood Furnace are not Tested, just in case it..."

"It is true that it has not been tested." Killer nodded, "But now it is being tested. If those enemies did not die in the furnace, I would kill them myself to find out who is in danger."

"But Master..."

The devil still felt that it was not very reliable, but before it could finish speaking, the killer squatted down to be level with him.

After a moment, Killer curled his fingers at his demon slave.

The little devil immediately listened obediently.

"Get out of here now and do what you should do!" The roar from the killing weapon shook the entire Blood God Machine. "Get out of here now and do what you should do and disappear completely in front of me! Don't let it I heard your fart-like voice, so I can’t help but tear you into pieces!”

…

Inside the Blood God Machine.

Corax, wearing Thunder Warrior armor, followed the Gray Knights together with several other real Thunder Warriors.

The Grand Master of the Gray Knight was holding an occult item and looking in the direction.

Although a lot of time has been spent since the beheading operation began, most of the time is not spent on fighting, but on finding the way and identifying the direction.

For some reason, everyone lost their sense of direction after entering the engine room of this blasphemous creation.

The engine room looks similar to a vast room, but it feels like being in an endless factory, with layers upon layers and no edges visible at a glance. It makes people feel that its area definitely exceeds the internal space of the Skull Titan. area.

"So, that bone is what you use to find your direction?"

Clone Corax walked a few steps quickly, looked down at the occult items in the hands of the Gray Knight Grand Master, and asked questions.

It was a strange thing made of several ribs bonded together as a chassis, with a skull resting on it.

The skull looked like a pure human skull, without any variation.

When the Gray Knight instructor presses his hand on the wooden handle-like object connected to the chassis and slowly turns the wooden handle, the head on the chassis will rotate 360 ​​degrees clockwise.

"I'm not questioning the function of this thing." Corax looked around, "But our enemies seem to worship the skull very much. This is the Eye of Terror. It's hard for me not to worry that this skull device will be corroded by the enemy's dark beliefs."

"No." The Gray Knight instructor said in a very firm tone without raising his head, "This device was made by a martyred nun. This nun is considered a living saint. She chose to sacrifice her life after showing slight signs of aging. Everything about myself continues to serve the God-Emperor, and she was alive when the materials from her body were stripped, and her pain stamped her soul on the bones, so this thing is very pure and sacred and will not be eroded."

Lux tightened his grip on the power claw after hearing this, but released it after a few seconds and continued to follow behind the Gray Knight mentor.

The crowd moved forward for a while, and as the nun's skull emitted a sacred golden light as it rotated, the road in front of them became clearer.

Corax realized that the function of the skull was to make visible things that were originally invisible or obscured.

The road ahead stretches from the factory to a huge gate.

The gate is decorated with mutated skulls, and the mouth full of fangs is wide open, as if it is roaring silently at everyone who looks at it.

"That's it." The Gray Knight mentor put away the nun's skull and rushed forward with a power hammer covered with purity marks and engraved with sacred prayers.

Corax acted first, having learned how to use the living metal used to construct the Thunder Warriors' weapons, even constructing a pair of power claws for himself.

The original clone jumped up and attacked the skull on the gate one after another. However, after a series of attacks that were enough to dent an iron mountain hit the skull, the skull did not react at all.

"Leave professional matters to professionals." The Gray Knight instructor took out a bottle of light yellow oil, smeared it on the weapon, rushed to the gate, and hit the skull with a hammer.

The power hammer engraved with sacred prayers directly smashed the skull and the gate to pieces.

Corax stood there, looking at the Gray Knight mentor in surprise.

"This is your first time dealing with a supernatural event?" The instructor said as he walked through the gate and led everyone into a road decorated with skulls.
