Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

…

Golden Expedition Branch Fleet, Angel Fleet.

The orderly realm of reality and spiritual space divide the entire barren planet into two.

Dante, the leader of the Blood Angels Chapter, led the descendants of the angels to start a bloody tug-of-war with the slaves of darkness on the surface of the planet.

Outside the planet, the angel fleet was confronting another huge fleet.

In the battle above the surface, the descendants of the angels fought against the combined forces of the Thousand Sons and the Word Bearers.

In the void battle outside the planet, the descendants of the angels only had to face the Word Bearers' battleships, but it was still not easy.

As one of the three legions that did not fall apart after the Fall, the Word Bearers undoubtedly have a strong family background. The size of the fleet they dispatched has far exceeded that of the Blood Angel fleet. They even directly intercepted the Angel fleet's support for surface battles, making but Din could only lead the war group and sub-groups to confront the Thousand Sons and Word Bearers head-on on the surface.

Just like the Battle of Baal back then.

Facing the current situation, Dante can no longer stand alone. He has already awakened his genetic father.

Sanguinius personally commanded the flagship.

But the current battle situation is extremely difficult even for Dante's genetic father.

"Father, all the battleships of the Lamenters Chapter have already gone up."

When Sanguinius heard his son's report, he felt even more worried.

The Wailer has a powerful fleet, and this powerful fleet is Sanguinius's last trump card. If the enemy gives him another surprise next, all he can think of is to lead the gang in person. Open up the situation by attacking the enemy's most powerful warship.

As the war progressed to this point, Sanguinius, who was awakened by Dante to help his heirs, felt that he had to bear a great responsibility.

The fleet would not have ended up in this situation.

The Thousand Sons had previously abandoned the Wizarding Planet and began to migrate under the protection of Magnus.

The Word Bearers were obviously no longer prepared to stay in the Eye of Terror. They and their daemon primarch joined hands, and a migration to the subspace began.

The angel fleet that had just attacked the Wizard Planet was faced with a choice.

Either pursue the enemy, intercept the enemy, and bet that the main fleet will arrive in time.

Or just let the enemy leave.

The choice Sanguinius made was to pursue.

Then the Angel Fleet's ship transporting the Black Stone was trapped by a ceremony hosted by Magnus himself, and then a large number of Word Bearers fleet suddenly appeared near the Angel Fleet.

Then, Sanguinius was even more surprised by the various intelligence obtained during the war.

The Thousand Sons and the Word Bearers, these two chaotic forces, evacuated at the cost of completely abandoning their main force, because no matter whether the main force they left behind successfully blocked the pursuit of the angel fleet, these main forces would be defeated when the main fleet arrived later. destroyed.

In order to have a few people left to serve their gods, they committed near-suicidal acts.

Sanguinius knew very well that even if the war developed to this point, half of his goal had been achieved. At least this ambush battle could annihilate the main force left to die by the Thousand Sons and the Word Bearers.

But it is unknown how much the Blood Angels will have to pay to wait for the main fleet to arrive before the main force of the Thousand Sons and Word Bearers can be captured in one fell swoop.

As Sanguinius was thinking about these things, a scion slowly walked up to him.

Sanguinius was upset when he saw the offspring, not because he didn't like the child, but because what was being reported to him was definitely not a good thing.

But when the Scion spoke, Sanguinius was ecstatic.

"The latest reconnaissance information."

"The Chapter Master stated that... a survivor of the battle group reported to him... The survivor said that he was very sure that he saw Kor Phaeron on the front lines."

Sanguinius heard from the Scion's report that he hoped to turn the tide of the war.

…

on the surface.

Kor Phalon walked on the battlefield that was still filled with smoke.

The huge black stone structure not far away stood in the center of the fortress, exuding a realistic power that made Kor Phalon feel sick.

When this extremely important figure, the adoptive father of the Primarch of the Word Bearers Legion, Lorgar Aurelion, the man with the most say in the Legion, the most revered servant of the Dark Gods, came to this position, The Word Bearers are clearing the corpses from their position.

The Blood Angels lost this place.

In previous wars, once the black stone that brought the power of reality was erected, it meant that the servants of the dark gods permanently lost the territory within the scope of the black stone.

But now, the retreat of the Blood Angels has left the area to be retaken by the Word Bearers.

And the black stone structure that exudes the power of abominable reality will also become a monument to show off the power of the gods under Kor Phalun's intervention, becoming a huge obsidian crown.

"Are you sure your plan works?"

Accompanying and questioning Kor Phaeron was the leader of one of the nine sects of the Thousand Sons. Among the Thousand Sons established around the sect after the rebellion, this military leader with the title of Templar Wizard was often influenced by Magnu. The one favored by Si and Tzeentch.

"Of course my plan is feasible." Kor Phaeron stopped and turned to look at the wizard who questioned him. "This is the only chance for Sanguinius to end this war immediately. He is a man who values ​​heirs like you." The father-like Primarch, he will not let the Blood Angels fight with us until we both lose."

"Well, if you do have the importance you say in his eyes." The wizard looked Kor Phaeron up and down, "In order to kill you, Sanguinius personally led his men here to perform beheading tactics. How do you ensure that you can actually corrupt his soul?"

Using himself as bait to attract Sanguinius and corrupt him was Kor Phaeron's purpose.

The Golden Crusade might succeed, obviously.

But the angel's soul will be the price of the expedition.

"I can't guarantee you that I can completely corrupt him." Kor Phaeron said conservatively, "But I can assure you that I have been preparing for this day with the Primarch for a long time. If Sanguinius really appears, , the worst result we can get is his complete destruction."

Hearing this, the wizard nodded, feeling completely confident.

Kor Phalon took the wizard's hand and assured him of something else cordially.

Kor Phalun promised many things, such as God's gift and a great future, and all he asked for in return from the wizard was the wizard's promise that he would help Kor Phalun complete the ritual at all costs.

The two people walked on the battlefield, heading towards the black stone that released the power of reality. No matter what they wanted to do against Sanguinius, they needed to take a prerequisite step, which was to corrupt the black stone structure.

"Not only will I give you what I promised, but if this black stone structure is corrupted, it will also belong to you."

"Imagine a future where enemies become more proficient in using black stones. You will be able to own an obsidian crown and use your psychic powers without restrictions."

Kor Phalon was still talking endlessly.

"Then you fulfill a promise first." The wizard pointed at the black stone structure, "Corrupt it, and then give it to me."

Kor Phalen nodded slowly, walked to the structure, opened his arms and said, "Watch it."

The wizard looked at Kor Phaeron with all his attention.

Kor Phaeron chanted obscure incantations, pulling the mighty power of the highest heaven.

Then his head suddenly exploded.

With a bang, his head shattered to the ground.

Kor Phaeron's headless body straightened, then fell to his knees, and his body fell to the ground.

The people nearby were stunned for a few seconds before they reacted and looked for the person who killed Kor Phalon.

But they were destined not to find it.

Not far from the position, in the ruins of a fortification that had been carefully searched countless times by the Word Bearers, a black figure put away his weapon and retreated slowly.

A flat and abrupt cross-section appeared behind the black figure, causing its metal body to slowly disappear into another dimension that could not be detected.

A message is transmitted from the black stone's range to the huge black fleet that is about to leave the webway.

"Death Seal kills the target."

"For the Silent King."
