Warhammer 40: From the League of Humans to Warhammer

Page 89

The blood splattered onto the axe blade and was quickly absorbed.

Immediately afterwards, the Devourer Warrior vanished without a trace, as if he had never existed, evaporating directly from this world.

In return, the Blood Skull Breaking Axe emitted a satisfied hum, and the red light on its blade became even more intense.

“...plus the entire life of a warrior!” Gorg roared with laughter after completing the massacre. “Now it’s ready!”

Caruso barely contained his anger.

He knew very well that this was Gorger's provocation.

But breaking through the shield was the top priority at this moment. He extended his power gauntlet and deliberately ran it along the sharp edge—a few drops of shimmering blood fell onto the axe's surface.

He was close to becoming a demon; all he lacked was a sufficient ritual and sacrifice.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be the strongest among these World Devourers. It was precisely because of this Ascended Demon level blood that the Khorne artifact possessed such immense power.

The moment the blood touched the axe blade, a blinding red light erupted. The entire axe seemed to come alive; the spine on the handle writhed, and the Titan core on the blade emitted a thunderous heartbeat.

"Blood sacrifice to the Blood God!" Gorger roared as he charged toward the observation window, facing the planet below shrouded in a shield. "Now let's see how you stop me!"

Buzz—! ! !

The shockwaves even reached the fleet in space.

All the ships were rocking violently, and energy readings were fluctuating wildly.

Most terrifyingly, Khorne's figure also appeared at this moment.

The Chaos Artifact actually summoned the phantom of Khorne.

The next moment, the Chaos Space Marines saw their chief god raise a massive bronze axe and then cleave it down on the opposite planet.

The powerful attack from Khorne struck the planet's defensive shield directly, causing the void shield on the planet to explode instantly. The super-powered shield immediately began to operate at overload, with a large amount of energy continuously flowing into the shield.

With the massive influx of energy, the super shield is unleashing unprecedented power, using a planetary defensive shield to withstand the phantom attacks of the Khorne God!

But this was Khorne after all, and the weapon he was holding was specifically designed to break shields. Under such an attack, the planetary shield only lasted for 30 minutes before disappearing.

The shield was broken, and the biggest obstacle to the World Eater Legion was completely destroyed.

The moment Khorne's phantom disappeared, he cast a thoughtful glance at the planet's shield.

Although he was just a phantom, the planet's shield was able to withstand his attacks for a full 30 minutes. How incredible!

Such a scene made Khorne take a second look at this place.

At the same time, he also sensed that someone was watching him. In the last moment before the phantom disappeared, his gaze fell on Zhou Qing, who was hundreds of light-years away.

In the next instant, his figure vanished completely...

The moment the phantom of Khorne vanished, the terrifying pressure that had almost crushed the bridge also faded away.

All the World Eaters, including Caruso and Gorg, subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, though none would admit to their fear of the Blood God.

After a brief silence, the communication channel erupted with frantic roars and battle cries. The shield had vanished! The path to the bountiful world had been opened!

"For the Blood God!"

"Skull to the Skull Throne! Blood to the Blood God!"

"Kill them all! Loot everything!"

Gorger was the first to react. He raised the still-humming Blood Skull Breaker Axe high, his voice hoarse with excitement: "Do you see it?! The Blood God has favored me! I have broken this shell! All warriors of the Blood Harvesters, charge with me! Be the first to set foot on the ground! All the glory and skulls will belong to us!"

His fleet, like sharks smelling blood, roared to life and pounced on the undefended planet.

Gorger could already imagine the endless carnage that would engulf the city, staining the earth red with blood, and offering mountains of skulls as sacrifices to Khorne.

At that time, his power will be unmatched, even surpassing Caruso!

Caruso watched coldly as Gorg's fleet hurtled toward the planet. The rage in his heart did not subside with the shattering of the shield; instead, it burned even more fiercely.

Gorger's arrogance, that artifact, and the "thoughtful" look that Khorne's phantom cast at the end all made him feel extremely uneasy.

The planetary defense shield actually withstood the main god's attack for 30 minutes. How amazing is that?

He's not like the other reckless brutes; he's Khorne's true champion chosen one, and he possesses wisdom.

"Caruso, what are we waiting for?" Urlak's voice came from the side, tinged with urgency. "Are we really going to let that idiot Gorg take all the credit and all the spoils?"

Other warband leaders were also restless, the buzzing of chainsaw axes echoing across the bridge, their thirst for killing almost overwhelming their reason.

Driven by the desire of other leaders to launch an attack, even though he was still the strongest, he had no choice but to yield to them and issue the order.

"Attack the Blood God with blood sacrifice, offer your skull to the skull seat!"

Chapter 134 War Breaks Out in the World of Narrus

Zhou Qing saw everything that happened on the Nairus, even though it was hundreds of light-years away. After all, the equipment on the warship was not just for show.

At the same time, he also saw Khorne's gaze directed in his direction.

It can only be said that he truly deserves to be called an evil god in the warp, and that he is indeed a chaotic evil god who has been forced to this point by the human empire.

Their combat power was indeed formidable; they were able to see him from hundreds of light-years away.

Zhou Qing silently raised the Chaos Evil God's level by another rank in his heart.

Destroying an evil god of this level will likely require careful planning.

It wasn't just because Khorne was displaying considerable fighting prowess; more importantly, he sensed a familiar aura emanating from Khorne.

That was the aura unique to the world-devouring evil spirit!

The Human Federation once followed the path of psychic ascension, and thus sent psychics to contact the gods of the Void Realm, including five evil gods.

These five evil gods are the Vessel of Thirst, the Devouring Fiend, the Tower of Life, the Whisper of the Void, and the End of Reincarnation.

These five Void Gods had both helped and hindered the Human Federation's ascension, ultimately ending with the Federation draining the energy of the entire subspace. They never encountered these five Void Gods again afterward.

Some suspect that as a large amount of energy in the virtual realm was drained, the five virtual realm gods also disappeared along with the virtual realm.

This conjecture has a considerable following within the Human Alliance; even Zhou Qing previously held this view.

At the time, Zhou Qing also believed that the Federation had eliminated these five evil gods and killed them all.

After all, the Federation still owes Yuan Shen money. If he isn't killed, won't the end of the cycle of reincarnation come to the Federation to collect the debt?

But now there seem to be some other changes.

Now, in this unfamiliar universe, he is once again sensing the aura of the Devouring Fiend, which is no fun.

The crimes committed by the Human Federation in the Void Realm would probably infuriate the gods of the Void Realm.

Now that we've encountered something like this, wouldn't that mean...?

If the entire Human Federation were here, Zhou Qing would naturally not be afraid, but now he is all alone, and a scientist who cannot utilize military technology, which is somewhat absurd.

Zhou Qing's expression became abstract as he began to use his superhuman brain to think about how to answer and solve the problem.

If it were four peddlers plus a round god, that would be a huge problem; that wouldn't do.

The original plan to use psionicists to punish these guys will probably have to be postponed.

It would require at least the intervention of a top-tier psionic legion; what we have created ourselves is far from sufficient.

However, amidst Zhou Qing's wild thoughts, his super brain gave him another clue.

No, if they really are those gods from the Void Realm, their power shouldn't be so weak, and the demons in the subspace are also a bit too weak, right?

Another question began to appear in Zhou Qing's mind.

He was destined not to be able to solve this mystery in the short term, so Zhou Qing had no choice but to try his best to seal the problem away again.

Then they began to observe the fighting on the planet's surface.

After losing the protection of the planetary shield, the real war broke out in Narrus!

The World Eater Legion, using Warbands as its basic unit, launched an attack across the entire planet.

The World Eater fleet began orbital bombardment of the planet's orbit, while the planet's orbital cannons also began retaliating against the World Eater fleet on the planet's surface.

A large number of weapons began firing at the warships in the sky, and Gauss cannons were also brought out.

The World Eater Legion barely withstood the first wave of attacks thanks to the Void Shield, but chose to retreat during the second wave.

The Gauss cannons that Zhou Qing equipped for his worlds were not ordinary weapons.

A single salvo of this level of weaponry was enough to nearly overload the Void Shield of a battleship.

In the galaxy, naval fleets are the most important, so in order to ensure the survival of their warbands, these fleets began to derail.

Orbital bombardment was no longer an option, so they could only attack the planets below aimlessly.

Regardless of accuracy, since there are fewer of them among the World Eaters, we can just fire the artillery at them. The chances of hitting ourselves are much smaller than the chances of hitting the enemy.

A barrage of artillery fire began to fall, and the planetary defense forces on the ground also joined the battle.

Caruso, Gorg, and the other leaders of the World Eater warbands led their respective warbands to land in various hive cities and launched attacks.

When Caruso arrived at World 108, the most prosperous world in the Misty Starfield, he was stunned for a moment.

What he saw was not something that could be seen in the normal world of the Empire.

Gothic architecture did not appear on a large scale on these planets; instead, they were replaced by neat, orderly, and highly technologically advanced communities.

The place he jumped to was the bustling city of Nairrus, which was also the first city to be modified by Zhou Qing.

The appearance of this nest city stunned even the leader of the Devourer Warband.

His momentary lapse in concentration nearly led to his annihilation. Two Emperor Blades locked onto the leader of the Devourer Legion, and then two shells were fired.

At the same time, Space Marines stationed on the planet also opened fire, arriving and firing their Gauss rifles at Caruso.

Thanks to the blessing bestowed upon him by Khorne and the blessing that nearly brought him to demonic ascension, these ranged attacks had relatively little effect on him; he was merely blasted away by the Emperor's Poison Blade.

However, attacks from the Gauss rifle were not so easy to dodge. Even with Khorne's blessing, his power armor still suffered heavy damage.

The metal bullet from the Gauss rifle shattered his arm; he lost an arm just as he appeared on the scene.

This scene left the Chaos Space Marines, the Devourers of Worlds who were following behind him and preparing to launch an attack, completely dumbfounded.

What they need to think about even more now is the large number of Space Marines that have appeared on their opposite side.

It was estimated that more than 300 Space Marines appeared before them.
