Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

This was not the first time Bell saw Vito's power, but he was shocked every time. At this moment, Bell was walking on the land after the power was exerted.

There was nothing around him, yes there was nothing, but just before, there was the largest army of Khorne demons he had ever seen gathered here, but now, they are all gone, and they are everywhere in the entire land. Not even a single skeleton worth mentioning was left on it.

All the demons disappeared, they turned into nothing and disappeared as if they had never existed. Here, there was only one person standing, the entity named Vito Constantine.

He stood in the deserted wasteland, standing calmly in front of the tall teleportation gate. In the past ten minutes, he had made tens of millions or even more demons disappear, but there was nothing about him. There was no dust at all, it was neat and calm, not even showing a trace of fatigue.

Not only did he occupy the portal leading to the mortal world, but he also destroyed the demon army that was supposed to go to the empire planet and bring destruction and death there. He alone took ten minutes, only ten minutes.

He stood there, declaring his victory with a calm expression. Bell still remembered that he had declared more than once that he was not a god, but a human being, but looking at everything here, that sentence was not convincing at all.

That was a god, an undoubted god. The power he displayed could only be explained by the concept of god. So Bell knew what the man standing in front of him represented.

"It's pretty fast." Lilith walked at the front. She seemed to have completely ignored everything that had just happened around her. She said lightly and walked in front of the god.

The latter also looked down at her, and then turned to look at the portal that opened behind him. At some point, the portal had opened, and the rotating energy light converged on it, twisting and opening up the sea of ​​reality and soul. aisle.

Bell, Ragnar and others also came to the door. They looked up at the magnificent door, but then suddenly Ragnar heard the voice in his head. He clenched the battle ax in his hand and turned around. Go and look at the distant sky.

"he came."

Everyone in front of the door looked in that direction, and a huge figure emerged in the distant sky. His huge body was like heaven and earth, yet ethereal. His burning eyes released blazing flames in the clouds, but there was something about it. There seems to be nothing, he brings violent anger, but at the same time he is cold and ruthless.

Every breath seemed to ignite a sun, and every inhalation seemed to extinguish a cluster of stars. He emerged from the earth in the distance. When he came, the whole sky was burning, and the whole earth was burning. All trembling.

Vito looked up at the giant, and he clenched the sword in his hand, "It came so fast." But just as the lightning jumped out again, Lilith held his arm, and the silver-haired mysterious woman shook her head and looked at The giant gestured toward the door behind him.

"You take them over, I'll stop him and close the door. Don't let other people disturb your reunion with the child." "Lily, are you sure?" "Yes, so hurry up and I'll be there when it's done." return."

Vito looked at her silver hair, and after a moment of silence, he turned and walked towards the direction of the portal. Bell looked at Vito with a gun in his hand, and then followed after glancing at Lilith. Loken also passed her. He kept his eyes on her for a moment as he approached her, but eventually followed Vito and left.

"Vito, are you just going to leave her like this?" Among the crowd, only Ragnar asked. He followed Vito onto the stairs of the portal. The latter looked back in front of the door and looked at Lilith's back. After a moment of silence, he turned and left, "I believe her."

After saying that, Vito stepped through the portal, and several people behind him followed. Although Ragnar had doubts, and he didn't want to leave a girl here to end his future, he finally chose to believe Vito. , walked into the portal.

The last one to leave was Loken. He stood in front of the door and looked back at Lilith. He saw the powerful power released from her body. The power distorted the surrounding space, accompanied by a purple halo and raised his head. The giants on the other side looked at each other.

The huge giant let out an angry roar, and he raised the weapon in his hand. It was a world blade burning with blazing fire, as long as the sky. He raised it high, causing the fire to fall from the sky. The sky burst into flames and rushed towards the sky again.

Thousands of voices came from his direction, both male and female. In an instant, Loken heard thousands of her names, "Queen of Joy, Lady of Shadows, Queen of Phantoms, Succubus in Her Place, Lady of Slaanesh" Twin sisters, betrayers, blasphemers!”

"Lilith!"

Finally, thousands of voices converged into a unified word. The giant roared, shouting out the name with rage that resounded throughout the earth. He raised the flaming giant sword and slashed towards the earth, blazing fire followed. The sword fell from the sky, under the falling blade that seemed to tear the world apart.

Lilith turned her head and smiled at Loken who did not leave, then gently pushed Loken into the portal behind her with an invisible hand.

Loken stepped back and passed between the portals. After a spin, everything changed in an instant. When he passed by, the door behind him disappeared instantly, just like a dream that disappeared when he woke up. , as if everything he just saw was just an illusion when passing through the portal, a dream, and even Face Loken could not remember what happened.

He didn't know if it was reality, or just an illusion brought about by the realm of chaos, but now, the only thing that was real, and he could be sure of it, was that he had returned to the real world, an atrium garden.

At least this place used to be a garden, but now it is filled with corpses. Heretics lay dead on the spot. Their bodies were cut into pieces. Some fell on the ground around Loken, while others were among the flowers and trees on both sides. During this time, the blood moistened the branches and leaves and the ground beneath them, and also dyed the surrounding pools red.

The leaves of the lotus floated on the water, but underneath them there were broken arms. Loken looked around. They were in the distance. Under the leadership of Vito, they walked through the blood on the ground and arrived at the far end of the door leading to the inner court. in front of the gate.

Loken trotted after him. He came to Vito's side with his sword and bolter. He looked at Vito and wanted to ask what happened just now, but he couldn't say anything. The two remained silent. They looked at each other for a moment.

"Okay, follow up, Old Wolf, destroy the entrance there, don't let others disturb us." Vito said, destroying a gate at the end of the garden with his own hands, lightning shattered the border of the door, and huge rubble will It clogged completely, and then Olaf destroyed another.

After it was over, Vito pulled out the flaming sword, turned around and led everyone into the inner court, followed by several Astartes. They rushed behind the door with bolters and chain swords. The people here were obviously not here yet. Realizing what had happened, the massacre outside happened so fast that no screams reached here.

So the traitors here just looked at them silently, seemingly unaware of what was about to happen, until Bell reminded them with a bomb.

As Bell raised the muzzle of his gun and fired a spinning bolt at a heretic to announce the start of the battle, everything started to work as it should have, as if the play button was pressed.

The traitors roared and fired at them. Among the mortals, the traitor Astartes who stayed here and did not go to the battlefield also strode over, waving their chain swords and colliding with Loken's chain saw.

The two angels of death pressed each other's swords, and sparks scattered and danced on the ground around them. Stepping on the sparks, Ragnar strode forward like a crazy wolf, and the power ax in his hand started killing. Splashing blood and death.

Olaf followed closely behind, using bolts of lightning to clear the obstacles on both sides for his wolf brothers, allowing him to stride forward, wielding his battle ax and fight with a real World Eater traitor. The two furious giants turned on each other with battle axes, fighting each other with roars and the wildest fighting.

But Bell was not that crazy. He held a bolt gun and aimed and fired in an orderly manner with superb marksmanship. He stood on the spot and spit out tongues of fire from the muzzle, constantly sprinkling blood around him. Every mortal traitor died on the spot. Even some traitor Astartes were shot to the ground.

When everyone started fighting, Vito was not idle either. He strode past Olaf's lightning, waved the power sword in his hand and rushed towards a Khorne bloodthirsty demon in the distance. He and The few mortal traitors who hurriedly ran up at their feet had a conversation, and then their fear and cowardice angered the great demon.

He swung his battle ax and directly chopped the believers in front of him into pieces. Their broken bones roared and attacked Vitor, loudly reciting the holy words of Khorne, "Blood and Iron! For the Lord of Blood!"

He roared and raised his battle ax, and slashed at Vito's head, but the latter just faced him and collided with him with the flaming phoenix sword. The demon's battle ax was immediately knocked away, and it fell into the air. After the huge shock wave bloomed, Vito waved the fire sword with his backhand, and the demon's body was cut into two halves.

The huge demon fell to the ground with a crash, and its corpse fell to the ground like a collapsed mountain. Vito stood on the demon's corpse and looked around at the traitors. They were all frightened and looked at the man who killed him with just one sword. The golden giant who died the bloodthirsty demon of Khorne.

The golden giant also raised the burning holy sword in his hand and pointed at the remaining mortal heretics in the hall, "Put down your weapons and be coerced by the rebellion. Those who are forced to rebel will receive mercy and forgiveness."

Vito declared this, but what he answered was indeed the roar of the demon, and the ammunition fired. Under the roar of the Khorne vampire and the steel bull he sat on, anger and bloodthirsty desire filled the hearts of the mortals present, and their eyes Red, howling like a wild animal, he raised his weapon and fired at Vito.

Others followed their demonic masters, wielding swords and mortals using chainswords to pounce on Vito. They were hysterical, crazy and thorough, and the judgment they were waiting for was extremely simple.

"As you wish."

Even after a long time, Loken still can't recall or believe what happened that day when he fell to the ground. Everything about that day seemed like a dream, the journey to subspace, the confrontation between Khorne and the silver phantom, and the subsequent scene in the fortress hall. What happened, in fact Loken didn't remember what happened.

The only thing he remembered was a fierce battle with a former brother, now a traitor. He was a once excellent swordsman, even compared to Loken. He fought fiercely with that man for a long time, and finally achieved a difficult victory. victory.

And when Loken raised his head, he remembered that all the enemies in the entire hall had been eliminated. How long did it take? Loken didn't know, but he was certain that it hadn't grown long enough to wipe out all the demons and their heretical servants in the entire main hall of the fortress.

Loken still remembers the broken steel bull that fell in front of the stairs, the torn demon bones, the blood spilled on the stone pillars and the floor of the hall, and Vito standing in front of the golden door leading to the heights.

He stood there, silently calling for them to follow, and Loken and others followed silently. There was no teasing or joking. Everyone just followed Vito up the stairs and rushed towards the building with thousands of people. The golden gate made of bones.

It was obviously once a door built as the entrance to the main church of Vraks Fortress. The sculptural elements on it all came from the Golden Throne, but the person sitting on the throne now is not Terra. The man on top is the Lord of Blood. He occupies the magpie's nest. The once emperor's position has been chiseled away and replaced by the Lord of Blood. The King of War sits there.

It was an extremely ironic picture. The heretical sculptor tried his best to replace the emperor's angels and mortal soldiers who originally guarded the golden work with ferocious and roaring demons, and the golden throne also turned into a A throne built of skulls.

Blood flowed down from both sides of the door. Loken didn't know where the turbulent blood came from, but through Astartes' extraordinary sense of smell, he regretted why he wanted to know the truth.

It was a strong smell of blood, as well as the smell of rotting corpses. They covered the former glory with the fishy smell on the sculpture of the golden throne of the past, leaving only the madness and ferocity of the pagans.

But Vito didn't care about all that. He opened the door with one blow. With the roar of lightning, the heavy door exploded instantly, and the magnificent door hit the ground backwards. He strode in, leading the four people behind him. The emperor's angels marched together.

He was pursuing the mysterious power from within the fortress. It was neither a demon nor a mortal, but the energy signature of a descendant of a demigod. He did not hide the power. He deliberately emitted it as if it were an invitation. And Vito also came here with that invitation.

He knew he was on the right track, because in the Cathedral of Vraks behind the golden gate, between the majestic dome and the mosaic pillars, stood dozens of sons of Hydra, Alpha Space Marines.

They stood in the hall in an orderly manner, silently watching the few people who entered, as if they had been waiting here for a long time. Bell was holding a bolt gun. He walked behind Vito and noticed the people in this hall. The space was full of heretics and demons, and they were killed, killed by these Alpha Space Marines who were supposed to be allies.

The group of idols that blasphemed the Emperor behind them were also destroyed. The Khorne symbol that was harshly polished and carved on the Emperor's body, as well as the skull hanging on it, were all shattered. In fact, the entire statue was shattered. had disappeared, revealing a doorway further behind it.

Bell looked at these traitors with confusion and confusion. Why did they do that? They now acted not at all like traitors, but more like a group of loyal warriors, furious after witnessing the desecration of the Emperor and the defilement of his church.

But there was no room for Bell to think too much, because Ragna was also really angry. When he saw these sons of Hydra, he roared instantly, "For the wolves! Blood debt must be paid with blood!"

The Sons of Leman Russ roared and charged at them with unparalleled fury, as fierce as any Daemon of Khorne out there, if not more so.

Ragnar strode towards the Alphas. The leader of the latter also waved his arms forward violently. Several Alphas beside him immediately rushed forward. They quickly stepped forward and waved their hands with Alpha's signature power. Spear knife, fighting fiercely with Ragnar, the Son of the Wolf fought angrily, the power ax in his hand kept swinging, colliding with the power spearheads thrust from all around.

"Ah, just as reckless as his father."

Vito muttered in a low voice, held the Phoenix Sword, nodded fiercely to the remaining three people on both sides, and then took the lead and rushed forward. He waved the flaming holy sword in his hand and quickly spun around, knocking away the hilt of the knife. , killing several Alphas with slashes.

Vito pierced into Alpha like a deadly spearhead. He kept slashing forward, blocking the incoming broadside ax with his backhand, and then slashed with his backhand to kill the Alpha in front of him. His power armor fell from his chest. It broke open, like a hot knife cutting through butter, piercing the armor covered with scales.

The Alpha Space Marine fell in front of Vito, and the Alpha leader holding a spear also appeared there. Vito looked at him, and then looked around at the blue armor that blocked all vision. , then he realized that he had gone too deep. No, this was not an accident, but deliberate.

The Alpha Space Marines deliberately let him in, and then relied on their superb discipline that far surpassed the demons of Khorne, the World Eaters outside, and the mortal heretics to separate Vitor from Bail, and he was isolated among the Alphas. outside.

He looked to both sides. On the other side, Bell and Ragnar were fighting back to back. Not far away, Olaf and Loken were also trapped in a tight siege. Lightning kept lighting up, and there was the roar and roar of chain swords. Alpha was outflanking them. With their orderly actions and excellent tactical skills, the Alphas surrounded them and separated them from Vito.

Vito turned his head to face the Alpha leader in front, and then suddenly clenched the Phoenix Sword in his hand. He was not afraid of these traitors at all. As the blazing fire burned from the blade of the sword, the battle seemed to be about to begin.

But in the end, the fire did not turn into the flames of battle. The Alpha leader and the surrounding Hydras did not choose to fight him, but they did not escape. Vito did not even feel a trace of fear from them. They just gave in. On both sides, a path was made for Vito to lead to the gate behind the statue.

Vito looked at them in silence for a moment, and then he quickly sensed the unique power spreading from behind the door. It was a silent invitation to be alone, a silent warning that he was waiting for him, and his heirs would not stop him. Own.

After a moment of silence, Vito clenched the Phoenix Sword in his hand and walked up. He passed between the Alpha leader and the surrounding Sons of Hydra. Even if he still did not put away his weapon and approached them, these silent warriors did not make any move. Any act of hostility stands like a statue.

Vito passed through, passing between the power weapons and blue armor, and when he passed, the Hydras behind him immediately turned around and lined up like a long steel wall, dividing the battle behind from the The roar is isolated on the other side.

Everything here seemed to be quiet. Ragnar's roar, Bell's bolter, and Olaf's lightning seemed to be far away in another world. He walked forward and bypassed the hazy sounds. The collapsed idol stepped over from the side of the fallen head and arrived in front of the gate.

Vito stood in front of the door. He knew that he was behind, waiting for him. After hesitating for a while, Vito put his hands on the door and pushed open the deeper door.

And under the dome behind the door, in the dim light of the artillery fire outside the glass above, he was standing there, with Archbishop Vlasov who started the whole rebellion lying at his feet.

He looked back.

"Hello, my best friend."
