Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

The accumulated water on the stalactite slid down along the rock surface. It fell from a height and hit the water surface. A ripple quickly appeared on the water, and a scarlet splash appeared.

The ripples spread outward and were quickly stopped. A huge object falling into the water blocked its diffusion path. The object floated face down on the shallow water, a scarlet color right in front of it. It expands from below, gradually diffuses outwards, and then connects with more things floating on the water.

The red smoke spread in the water, turning the surface of the entire underground cave into a red color. The reflections from the water surface shone on the stalactites above and the smooth spike-like rocks drilled out of the water, creating continuous reflections. Everything here was soon painted a light red.

The thing floating on the water floated sideways, and its black carapace collided with a new step. In a flood of ripples, the thing floating on the water floated backwards, slowly interacting with the new person. Pulled away.

Vito bent down and emerged from the cave with stone steps. He stood up and stood in the water. Vito looked around in the ripples below. He tilted his head and looked at a corpse floating on its back. Its big mouth A horrifying gash was ripped open on one side, and the entire face was split in half.

Vito looked down at the corpses on the other side. They were all floating on the water and scattered around, floating around with the ripples caused by the disturbance of a piece of stagnant water, with blood spreading underneath them.

In the ripples, a helmet floated over. Vito found it and bent down to pick it up. The water inside flowed out from under the helmet as it was picked up, and some from the front part of the face. It flowed out from the huge tear on his forehead, which started from his forehead and was torn all the way to his chin.

Vito looked at the helmet in his hand. He knew that the owner of the helmet was not dead because he was standing not far away. Lilith also entered the cave from behind Vito. She stepped into the water and was submerged up to her thighs. s position.

"Damn, my boots are ruined. I still like them." Lilith complained and raised her head. She stood behind Vito and looked with him at the thing in the center of the water ahead. There stood a man with wet hair and armor. It was a warrior covered with water stains. He stood there, holding a long sword stained with blood.

There was a huge beast lying next to him, with blood flowing from the huge cracks on its body. The blood flowed downwards along the surface of the black carapace into the water, and soon dyed the entire water surface scarlet. .

Vito smiled slightly and walked up. The sound he made while running through the water caught the soldier's attention. He turned his head and caught the thrown helmet.

"One versus thirty, plus a big victory, you are still so strong in a one-on-one fight." Vito said and walked past him. The white-armored warrior holding the helmet raised his head and faced the difficult situation in the water. Lilith approached and looked at him. He stretched out a hand, and Lilith also smiled and got on top, allowing Loken to carry him to the platform outside the water in front of him.

"Thank you, what a gentleman, Mr. Loken." After Lilith landed, she turned around and blew a kiss to Loken, but the latter obviously didn't take this trick. He just nodded to Lilith and said, "You're welcome, Lilith. Judge."

"But you have to take a shower. Your body is now full of the smell of Tyranid blood, and your hair is full of the smell of rock minerals in the cave." Lilith sniffed, and then pretended to pinch it with her hands. it.

Loken didn't say anything, but he walked indifferently to Vito. His burly body caused ripples on the water below. Gavier Loken came to Vito's side and looked at the statue in front of him. .

"That's not the statue of Tyran, but that of the Great Keeper of Slaanesh, right?" "It seems like you've carefully read the information from the last ten thousand years. Yes, that's the Great Keeper of Secrets."

Vito admitted very directly. Loken glanced at him and raised his head forward to signal. His eyes looked at the half-female and half-male thing, "But why is there a statue of the Great Keeper here? This is not Tyranx's. Lao Lao? Do they also believe in chaos?"

"Believe in the Hive Mind but believe in a Chaos God? Are they going to stack BUF?" Vito laughed mockingly. His hand except the power claw was pressed on his waist, looking up at the extremely exposed body in front of him. statue.

"No, it's not. Before the Tyranids occupied this place, it was a sanctuary for Slaanesh believers a long time ago. They indulged in lust and carnival here. It was still full of singing and dancing, although you won't be interested in that scene. Yes, believe me, seeing it once is enough.”

Vito's smile was obviously something he had seen before. Maybe he had even given a spoon to the Nurgle Demon? He is simply a heretic and can no longer be a heretic.

"It's a pity that now this place has become the Tyranids' lair. They obviously haven't taken good care of this place, and it's all flooded." Lilith wrung out the water at the end of her clothes, and the water poured out of it as she wrung it. on the ground.

Loken glanced at Lilith, but mainly because of the body of the Tyranid leader. He stared at the body and pondered for a moment, "So they turned this hidden old Slaanesh happy place into a secret. Hiding the newly born Tyran clan chiefs and purebreds here, in order to avoid our suppression and come back in the future. "

"Perfect, you can become an inquisitor of the Ordo Alien, or a Grey Knight? You know their armor is also gray, just like yours." Vito said with one hand on his waist and a smile, while Loken beside him shook his head and looked at the long sword in his hand full of sticky Tyranid blood.

Loken plunged the sword into the water to dilute the blood on it, and soon a ruddy color appeared around it, "No, I still have responsibilities to the Legion, but this does not prevent me from cooperating with the Grey Knights to fight more of these enemies."

"Very good, because I did call a Grey Knight unit, and later in Baal, you can work with them to deal with the endless Tyranid swarms." After Vito said this, he glanced at Loken.

"No one has been here except you?" "Just like you requested, I am the only one who came here and saw this statue." "Very good."

Lokken pulled the sword out of the water. All the blood stains on the silver sword had been washed away. He glanced at Vito hesitantly, "You asked me to keep it a secret, Vito, but why? There is no secret between this statue and this place."

"There are always many secrets in this world, both small and big. This one is not big, but can you keep it a secret for me?" Vito smiled and put his hand on Lokken's shoulder. The latter looked at Vito with a little puzzlement. He glanced at Lilith who raised her eyebrows beside him. Her silver hair was thrown back and hung behind her.

Lokken looked at the sweet smile and felt a little cool from it, but Vito on the side gently pushed Lokken's shoulder with his palm, asking him to turn his sight back.

Vito glanced up, then turned his head to look at the giant patriarch lying on one side, with blood flowing from the cracks on his shell. "Rex is still up there clearing the fortress, he will need your help, go, you have done what you need to do here."

He gently raised his power claws and swept the many floating corpses around. Lilith on the table next to him also used her toes to push away a floating corpse, which floated out and slid past Locke.

Locke looked at Vito on the side and nodded. He picked up the long sword from the ground and nodded goodbye to Lilith on the side. The latter also responded to Locke with a sweet smile, and then he left, turned around and walked towards the stone steps cave in the distance with blood flowing.

Vito watched Loken go into the cave. He turned around only after his figure and footsteps disappeared into the darkness. He nodded to Lilith and raised his power claw to signal the statue in front of him, "Please, cast your little spell."

"That's not small." Lilith said as she moved her fingers up from her forehead. As she slid between them, a pair of horns grew out of her smooth forehead without any wrinkles or flaws under her silver hair. The small curved horns slowly grew out and bent backwards from the top of her head.

Lilith unbuttoned her coat, took off the tights on her slender legs, and almost all the clothes on her body. She threw them to Vito beside her, "Take it, this is my favorite piece of clothing."

Vito caught the clothes and smiled as he pointed to the last white shirt that Lilith had not taken off. The clothes were a little smaller and looked more like tights, especially the chest part, where there was no redundant part for the female chest, so the fabric at the chest was stretched flat without any wrinkles.

"But the one you're wearing now is not, don't you feel bad?" "This is yours, so why should I feel bad?"

Lilith said as her hands slid down from the top of her head. She raised her head and then gradually lowered it. The eyes that had just opened had become vertical eyes like a cat, with a circle of purple halo around the sharp pupils, which soon turned the whole eye purple.

Behind her, the shirt bulged outwards, and then broke apart with a tearing sound. A pair of huge demon wings slowly opened from behind her, with a purple halo on the inside, as if attached to this piece of crystal. With the shining luster of the crystal, Lilith soon ignited a ball of fire from the back.

The flames quickly spread around, covering her whole body along her smooth skin, and extended to her neck before stopping. Lilith walked towards the statue of the Great Secret Keeper with the flames all over her body. The accumulated water on the surface where she stepped on all instantly churned up and evaporated with a hissing sound.

Lilith walked to the statue. Her fingers moved from the waistline of the Keeper's waist, and slid to the magic pattern on the belly as if stroking the skin of the abdomen. The slender fingers with flames gently moved across the magic pattern, and quickly pulled down along the strokes as if painting.

Following the trajectory of Lilith's fingers, the lines along the magic pattern were lit up by purple flames. Soon the raging fire spread rapidly, spreading out to the surroundings and filling the entire magic pattern. The symbol lit up, lighting up a dim luster on the Keeper's abdomen. As Lilith pulled outwards, she lightly touched the center of his lower abdomen, and the statue of the Great Keeper changed.

The four arms of the entire statue suddenly loosened, and the dagger held in the hand instantly fell down, but at the end of it was connected to a long chain. The iron chain extended from the Keeper's palm, and the iron rings on it were all burning with flames.

The dagger was tightened by the iron chain and stopped instantly after falling. The fire spread quickly along the iron rope. All four daggers ignited in flames, just like four torches, except that the flames on these torches were purple. The surrounding space was distorted and changed by the beating of the flames.

Lilith took a step back, and her hands slid up from the neck, moving up along the collarbone and the side of the neck, and finally moved up against the roots of the hair next to the ears, and finally moved up on both sides of the head. The position was thrown around, and the flames all over her body twitched upwards, swept up, and then flew out with the two palms.

The flames flew outward and fell on the water in an arc. In an instant, the water around the statue was ignited with flames, like a sea of ​​fire. Vito stepped onto the platform before the flames came. , he stood behind Lilith holding a handful of clothes in his hand, turning his head to look at the patriarch in the water.

The flames quickly spread below it, and as the entire sleep turned into a raging fire, countless purple hands rose up. They crawled out of the water, climbed up from the patriarch's body, grabbed him layer by layer, and pulled him After falling down, the huge body seemed to have sunk into the bottomless abyss. All the Tyran corpses around him were also grabbed by more hands and dragged into the sea of ​​fire.

Vito watched the patriarch's huge body sink little by little, and finally disappeared completely in the flames. When the last bulge of the carapace on the back sank, the flames on the entire surface of the water suddenly burned more violently, and the fire even burned for a time. The platform forced Vito to take two steps back.

He looked at the flames rising in front of him with a wry smile. He held the clothes in his hands inward, "Your posture looks very big." "There are bigger ones, stand inward, don't put my clothes on." It’s lit.”

After speaking, Lilith raised her hands violently, and all the flames rose instantly. Several flame tornadoes appeared in the fire. The fire pillar instantly rose from the surface of the sea of ​​​​fire and rushed to the top of the cave. The huge flames hit it and caused There was a violent vibration, and large pieces of debris fell from the air and hit the surface and surroundings of the platform.

Vito smiled bitterly and took a few steps back. He turned his head and looked at Lilith behind him. The latter also smiled and her purple eyes instantly spurted out purple fire. All her hair immediately stood up, and the powerful subspace power came from She jumped out of her body instantly, and huge air waves impacted the surrounding flames, causing the fire around the platform to bend outward, like a wheat field in the wind.

Lilith gathered her hands above her head, and in an instant, several fire storms around her gathered together. They hit Lilith's hands, and in an instant, an extremely powerful and terrifying force was condensed. The purple flames blazed in Lilith's hands The top of his head expanded rapidly, eventually turning into a purple fireball.

Vito looked at the purple fireball that illuminated his whole body. He looked up at the flames that were like a purple sun and took a few steps back. "What, you don't want it?"

"Turn your head over, your armor will protect you from being burned to death, and hold my clothes tight, here we come!" Lilith laughed happily, and the crazy girl suddenly raised the fireball, and then It hit him downwards all of a sudden, and Vito's eyes widened and he immediately turned his back.

The fireball exploded the moment it hit the ground. The huge fire spread around with the surging power of subspace. Vito turned his back to the fire, and the purple flame storm rushed past his sides. Before Lily, The flames that spread out from Si's laughter hit the rock walls around the cave, causing a violent earthquake in an instant.

The stalactites at high places and the surrounding rock walls quickly collapsed and shattered. Large boulders tilted down and hit the ground. Vito smiled bitterly and raised his hands to block his head, so that the falling rocks would not hit his head. , with a helpless smile all over his face.

"Fuck, you crazy girl." Vito said as he looked down and saw the changes on the surface. An eye opened from the surface of the huge fire, and a huge purple eye opened from it. Vito looked at that eye He showed a wry smile and said, "Hi, Slaanesh."

A beautiful sound came from the crack in the subspace around the eye. Every sound of the sound was accompanied by violent vibrations, as if the whole world was shaking with its laughter, as if the eye would soon expand. Come and tear the entire planet apart like the Eye of Terror.

"Bitch, don't look at my things. You said you were willing to help. Now come with me! Let's give the Hive Mind a big hole in the butt!" Lilith laughed and opened her arms. His eyes suddenly shone violently, as if they were exploding suns that instantly swallowed up everything around him.

Vito turned back and raised his hands and closed his eyes. Everything around him was enveloped in purple light. Slaanesh's eyes also looked upward, looking at the orbiting stars outside the cave. Her starry sky, Immediately, power beyond the understanding limits of all living species poured into the physical universe.

Outside the underground cave, the entire fortress was shaking violently. Loken stood in the fortress hall and raised his head to look out. He saw a huge storm above the entire mountain range. The clouds shrouded the entire sky in purple color. The light jumped out from it and hit the towering mountains with lightning.

In an instant, the entire mountains began to collapse. Countless gravels poured down in the violent landslide. Loken leaned against the window and looked around at the collapsing mountains. Their bodies were totems disintegrating under the bombardment of lightning. Permafrost ice caps were falling from the sky. The impact hit around the mountain peak where Loken was located.

The entire fortress was trembling. Loken pressed against the window frame on one side and looked at the huge changes in the sky. "Damn it, what did Vito do again?"

Unlike Loken, Cole could see more clearly in orbit. He stood on the bridge of the battleship and looked at the surface of Ivan nearby. The entire storm was sweeping across the surface of the entire planet, and the purple lightning thunderstorm spread rapidly. opened, eventually covering the entire planet's western hemisphere sky.

Beating lightning writhed in the outer orbit of the planet, and the entire bridge was in chaos. All the energy reading monitors sounded alarms, and several detection servitors exploded their brains and fell to the ground.

"Captain! A huge amount of subspace capabilities have been detected! They are continuing to rise. The Emperor is above, and they have exceeded the calculation limit of the Thinker!" shouted the Oracle below, and all the screens in front of him were on A violent alarm sounded, and all the instruments flashed a crazy red light, which meant that all equipment had reached its limit.

"The Astropaths were screaming, and many of their heads exploded! That power is sweeping through several surrounding galaxies, we think." Before Captain Bird could finish speaking, a huge purple beam of light shot out from outside the battleship. , the pillar of light instantly shot out from the storm clouds on the surface of the planet, purple lightning danced around it, driving huge power towards the starry sky.

The light struck from the center of the fleet above the orbit, and the huge energy vibration caused all the battleships to tremble violently. The bridge where Cole was was no exception. He suddenly lost his balance and leaned on the armrest beside him. The crew members in the bridge area below were even more overwhelmed.

Cole lay on the armrest and looked out. He saw the huge pillar suddenly hit the dark starry sky in the distance. There, it was completely dark and there was no starlight. A huge crack instantly appeared. , as if it were torn directly from the black cloth.

Endless lightning danced in the crack, and the dazzling starlight shone as the crack expanded. The dark background of the entire universe was pierced, and the shadow of subspace was pierced!

"Chief Bird! Detect the direction of Baal, immediately!" Cole was lying on the armrest and shouted downwards. Captain Bird, who almost fell to the ground, got up immediately. He stood up and looked at the dashboard in front of him with wide eyes. eyes, and then shouted toward the top of the bridge.

"The subspace shadow was torn apart! A huge subspace storm appeared there, directly colliding with it and shattering the subspace shadow! Wait for new news. Captain! According to the navigator's judgment, a stable channel appeared in it ! Can be used by the fleet!"

The Bird Oracle stood up and looked towards Cole, "The marshal has sent new news, ordering all ground troops to evacuate Ivan immediately. All fleets and troops outside are to return urgently, and the entire expeditionary force is preparing to make an emergency jump to Baal!"

Cole's eyes widened when he saw the storm in the distance. He looked blankly at the surface of the planet below. Looking at the surface of the planet shrouded by the storm, the lightning kept jumping in front of his eyes, "Vito, What the hell did you do again?"

The Bird Captain looked up at Cole, then subconsciously turned around and glanced at the screen, but just when he was about to look away, he turned back again. He stood in front of the terminal and stared at the thing above, "Captain! Terminal A second force has been detected, rushing towards Baal from the "Scarlet Road"!"

"Identify it immediately!" Cole stood up and shouted downwards. Chief Bird quickly clicked on the terminal in front of him. Then he suddenly froze and stood up to look at Cole.

"The Astropath received a message in his madness. It was clear and unencrypted. Captain, it was not ours, but..."

"Then what did the star language say?" Cole looked down at the bird divination chief below, who turned his head and glanced at the instruments behind him, as if he was afraid that he had just seen it wrong.

"Kabanda is coming."
