Chapter 35

"Aha - welcome, welcome, welcome to the world of joy, servant of the Usurper!"

Just when the Eye of Luck was looking at the shadowy purple-black city wall in the distance, resisting the aura of chaos lingering around him, and at the same time using magic to hide his existence as much as possible, he began to think about what this change meant. At that moment, an elegant voice that was frivolous and filled with rich emotions that could shake even the most determined person's soul suddenly sounded in this wilderness where sparks of desire can be seen everywhere. Accompanied by this voice that clearly did not belong to the mortal world, a graceful Slaanesh demon wearing a gauze, holding a sharp blade, jewels hanging around his neck, and a crown on his head appeared in a ball of slowly rising clouds with a strong musky smell. Walking out of the purple mist, he slowly leaned towards the direction of the Eye of Luck. It was obvious that the secret keeper had grasped the arrival of the Eye of Luck and had prepared for the 'feast'.

"Servants of the Lord of Joy."

Although his own existence was revealed, the Eye of Luck trembled in the depths of its soul, but the countless fates that flashed before its eyes immediately calmed its mind. Henceforth, the great demon of Tzeentch habitually created a series of Illusions that are difficult to distinguish between true and false are projected in all directions, while vibrating its own voice, letting it linger in this chaotic demon realm in a way that its source cannot be distinguished - according to the future it peeks into, as long as it does this, then things will be It will move in a direction that is relatively more controlled by it.

only.....

"Oh - don't be so open-minded, think about it, the mortals you value are loyal to the mortals I value, and the mortals you value also provide the mortals I value - provide! - a lot of super Interesting and exciting idea! Really! What he did at the end made me happy from the bottom of my heart! At that time, I was thinking about how to communicate with him and have a better relationship with him. Study the art!”

After hearing that the Eye of Luck responded to his 'greeting', the Great Demon of Slaanesh stood there excitedly, and twisted around and said a lot of 'weird words' that the Eye of Luck had not expected at all. . After easily understanding the meaning of these words, Tzeentch felt that his bird face was a little 'distorted', and at the same time, he roughly guessed what might happen next.

Sure enough, it was crackling

He said a lot of good things about the leader of the Angels of Paradise warband, whom Tzeentch didn't even know his name and didn't care about his fate, and piled up a lot of meaningless rhetoric for God knows what purpose. After thinking about what he was doing, the big demon of Slaanesh changed his mind, and at the same time, the whole demon started to show its teeth and claws.

"But - servant of the usurper, you burned him, you killed him! I am very unhappy! I am very unhappy! I need an explanation! I need compensation!"

"I will only follow the path pointed out to me by the great magic bird god, Servant of Joy."

Although it feels like the subspace wind around him has been 'squeezing' himself due to the emotional fluctuations of the secret keeper in front of him, the spreading purple mist in the distance also clearly indicates that more Slaanesh demons are rushing here. However, the Eye of Luck is even less panicked - after peering into a lot of destiny paths, the Eye of Luck has become more certain that the great Demonic Bird God will not let himself be so worthless in the Demonic Realm of Slaanesh. dissipate. Therefore, when he fell into this place, he must have had some 'deal' with the omniscient and omniscient Saint Tzege, and the dark prince who squatted in his palace every day to play, and this meant that although the great demon of Slaanesh in front of him It may seem aggressive, but you must be asking for it!

"As long as the usurper promises?"

The Keeper of Secrets tilted his head slightly, and his tone became a little cute. Feeling that things seemed to be slipping in the wrong direction, the Great Demon of Tzeentch immediately tightened his grip on his staff and cast nine spells. Entering the critical state of casting, follow, and the answer is wrong.

"I have been listening to the words of the magic bird god."

"That's great! The Lord of Pleasure has promised me pleasure, the recompense of pleasure that I can receive from you - He says the Usurper has agreed to everything!"

"???!!!"

The next moment, the Eye of Luck knew the thoughts of the Demon Bird God and the plan of the great Tzeentch - it howled and screamed, and was violently ejected from the realm of Slaanesh, rolling and crawling down. At the place where Kalans was burned before - at this moment, the Hammermen's troops have knocked down the second crystal magic tower, and have already moved towards the third one, and the third crystal tower The tower has entered a crumbling state - the Eye of Luck knows that when the third crystal tower collapses and the number of crystal phalanxes becomes six, it will be the time when he is 'sent to the contract'!

"Quah! The all-knowing and all-powerful Saint Tzeentch! I worked so hard! Why!"

Feeling the crazy trembling of the magic thread around him, swallowing the wind of the supreme sky that had begun to mix, and still trying to struggle, the Eye of Luck let out a scream, and what he got in return was the high-pitched laughter of the Demon Bird God. .

"----It is not good?"

——————————————The dividing line among hammer guys——————————————————

"It's strange, why is Slaanesh reacting like crazy again?"

Seeing something familiar appearing in the real-time data table of Udal subspace pollution intensity dancing on the screen, the God of Choice spoke in confusion.

"Maybe we have cleared part of the Tzeentch pollution, so the Slaanesh pollution that has not been completely dissipated has reappeared?"

Abathur speculated uncertainly.

"No, maybe... a possibility we just guessed has come true. Look, the number of crystal towers left is six, right?"

"That is to say...?"

"We are going to face the disgusting Slaanesh thing again...?"

Seventy-seven. The Battle of Udal - The Arrival of the Slaanesh Demon Army

Thousands of knowledge rise and fall, thousands of destinies swirl, thousands of mysteries linger, and thousands of contradictions converge.

In the deepest part of the Crystal Labyrinth, the completely excited Demon Bird God sat on the lotus platform, gently playing with the countless fates of the Udal world, patiently listening to the screams of Carlos standing by his side, unraveling the supernatural sounds that would be impossible for a weaker Lord of Change to find any valuable words from, and then integrating new changes into the chessboard swirling in front of him. Before, even other Chaos Gods, once manipulated by Tzeentch, would show part of their cause and effect, although this part of the cause and effect would most likely bring a bigger "accident" to the Demon Bird God.

But this time, what surprised Tzeentch was that his unsuccessful operation could not solve the mystery in his heart. No matter how he added variables, no matter how he pulled fate, the fate of the world of Udal still did not present the causal path of the servants of the cursed who appeared in the world in a mysterious way in front of him. From the perspective of the subspace, these creations of the Lord of Humanity who suddenly intervened in the fate of Udal seemed to exist there, on the world of Udal, today, tomorrow, and of course forever.

But Tzeentch knew that this answer was wrong. On the other side of the timeline, Tzeentch had already revealed some of their ways of existence in the physical universe at the cost of the existence of a great demon, and the experience of the Eye of Luck further proved that these guys must be "projected" or "summoned" by some means to intervene in the physical universe, although they did not stir ripples in the subspace at all. But Tzeentch was sure that his judgment was correct.

"Not enough - no - like this - like this? Like this! Yes, that's it! Just do it this way!"

As the solutions to the answer in the Crystal Maze piled up more and more, the form of the Supreme Eagle became more and more ethereal. After 99,999 changes, with the support of the few words that Carlos spied, the wonderful spark finally broke out in the consciousness of the magic bird, and Tzeentch's laughter began to sweep the Crystal Maze. In the laughter, the endless power of tampering surged wildly, along the chaotic road newly outlined by the Lord of Destiny, surging to the demonic domain of Slaanesh, and also surging to the real world, at the time when Udal was fighting fiercely.

"Go! Go!"

———————————————The Hammers' dividing line————————————————————

"Tyranid swarm, keep attacking!"

"Pork chops, keep suppressing with firepower, don't give the Chaos bastards even a little breathing space!"

"Boss, the firepower intensity here is a bit below standard, sister Political Commissar, do you have any way to provide some firepower support?"

"Hold on for a few minutes, I'll help Krieg remove the Chaos roadblocks in front and then turn around to help you-fire!"

"Lack of offensive firepower? Do you need me to throw my remaining oilers over?"

"No hurry, your troops have limited long-range strike capabilities, wait until we control the second front before charging, after all, it seems that the arrival of the Slaanesh demon army is already It can't be stopped - Gu, let your troops retreat from the central area in an orderly manner, don't give away too many for nothing. "

"Don't worry! I have planned the route!"

On the bridge of the Queen of Glory, the Hammermen, who had roughly guessed what might happen next, were desperately pouring firepower forward, trying their best to destroy everything related to Chaos - before, the Hammermen tried to focus on a remaining Tzeentch tower, but found that their firepower intensity was already difficult to break its defense, so they changed the tactical policy to purification and control - under the "scouring" of the chess pieces like a storm, the second line of defense of the Tzeentch army fell at an extremely fast speed, and then in the hands of the Terra Fist, Iron Hand and Krieg, it became the temporary defense line of the Empire even faster.

"So, what on earth is that Tzeentch doing? Why did it suddenly withdraw after it had taken control, and throw the control back to Slaanesh? And it also 'kindly' prepared a ritual venue for Slaanesh?"

The defense line was successfully established, and the fluctuating subspace pollution on the screen was temporarily stabilized within a certain degree. The Hammers felt that things were slightly back to their control. While continuing to mobilize subsequent chess pieces to Udal, they couldn't help but start studying Tzeentch's ideas. To be honest, the Hammers knew that Tzeentch's ideas might not be clear to Tzeentch himself, but...

I really can't help it.jpg

"Don't ask, just ask if the plan is clear - maybe it really feels that the idea is difficult to handle, and the mess is left to Slaanesh to deal with?"

"Although Tzeentch can really do this kind of operation that normal people can't understand, but a Tzeentch demon like this really won't become a laughing stock of the Tzeentch family?"

".....As long as the plot is not written towards the Tzeentch family, when has the Tzeentch family not been a laughing stock? Even Tzeentch himself, doesn't he have some meaningless clownish actions? If you ask, it's a change, if you ask again, it's a win no matter what - forget it, let's continue to study how to move forward and control more areas before the Slaanesh thing emerges. It's more reliable... Eh? Tzeentch's reaction?"

"Wait, I'll let my Pai Gu look over there right away - what the hell?"

As Pai Gu's first-hand picture was sent back to the Queen of Glory, the miserable appearance of a certain Tzeentch's demon was presented to the Hammers without reservation - now the Eye of Fortune, except for the eyes still flashing, the whole demon looks like a plucked chicken - in fact, if it weren't for the fact that the subspace reaction on its body was still violent, it would be hard for the Hammers to believe that this thing bound in the air by magic shackles was a changeable demon.

"Uh..."

"This?"

However, before the Hammers could "react" to the stimulation of the scene in front of them, the state of the Eye of Luck changed dramatically again. With a series of crystal runes from the Crystal Labyrinth suddenly appearing around the Great Demon, lingering and infiltrating, the physical form of the Great Demon of Tzeentch quickly collapsed and shrank, and finally turned into a golden Tampering Eye quietly suspended in the air - seemingly tangible, but without substance.

And at the moment when the Great Demon completely turned into the Eye, the six Tzeentch demon towers were shattered together and turned into six deep purple smoke pillars - strange and melodious singing came from the smoke, and the intoxicating fragrance spread with the singing.

The domain of Slaanesh began to erode reality, and the Great Demon of Slaanesh brought its demon army, ready to "welcome" the unknown with joy.

Perhaps, it was joy?

Seventy-eight. The Battle of Udal - Big Brother E's Plan

The Carver, the Skeleton Modeler, the Eye of Beauty, the Hand of Art...

All these titles belong to the Great Demon of Slaanesh - Nagrigan. Although, as a keeper born from the surge of artistic concepts such as sculptures and murals in the warp, Nagrigan is not a Slaanesh demon who is good at fighting, but this does not mean that this keeper does not desire to go to the material universe to harvest lives - in fact, when he felt the call of the Elysian Angels War Gang before, Nagrigan could not wait to summon all the Slaanesh demons he could summon, and was ready to go to reality.

Therefore, at a certain moment before, this Slaanesh demon realized that the connection between him and the material world was actually intercepted by the subordinate of that blue, changeable, soft and hard thing without any aesthetic sense, and the devil didn't know how to describe it. The resentment and pain in his heart almost made him overturn the work he was carving on the spot.

However, after the Usurper Heaven "frankly" admitted his mistake and promised to help it step into the real world it had felt before as quickly and as well as possible, and would not compete with it for the mortal souls in that world, Nagrigan immediately turned his anger into joy - the Dark Prince is above! I still have a chance to contribute better and more exquisite artistic achievements to Paradise!

So, when the door opened, the Slaanesh demon smelled the smell of the material world behind the door, and his heart was filled with the materials or better things he was about to hunt. Without thinking, he led his subordinates through the crystal archway filled with the aroma of Slaanesh and stepped into the world of Udar gracefully - but when it took a deep breath of the mortal air and wanted to smell the pain, torture, death and other smells that intoxicated the Slaanesh demons, the terrible burning sensation that rushed into its nasal cavity almost made this Slaanesh demon roll on the ground ungracefully.

"This world??"

After spending almost a second to get rid of the sour feeling that just "rushed straight to the head", Nagrigan, who felt that something was a little wrong, immediately mobilized his power, and with the unique refinement and elegance of the Slaanesh faction, turned them into fine lines like spider webs, spreading in all directions-soon, the "expression" of the Slaanesh demon twisted.

Is this world connected to me? Yes! Does this world have a soul? Yes!

But! Why is this world full of the breath of the cursed? And! It seems that there are quite a few?

"Go!"

At this point, how could Nagrigan not realize that he was being tricked? As a Slaanesh demon that has existed for who knows how many real years, how could it not understand that Tzeentch was playing a long game? The trap that could make the bird god sacrifice a demon to fill itself in, the level of the trap must not be something that a not-so-good Slaanesh keeper like me could resist!

However...

"???!!!!!!"

The Supreme Eagle's chuckle sounded in the ears of the Slaanesh Demon, and nine crystal fragments floated away in Nagrigan's supernatural vision. The curtain between the warp and reality at the ceremony site of the Udal world, which was already very weak, was ripped open fiercely by the Fate Tamperer's unreasonable and reckless attack. Although the counterattack of the real world and the lack of subsequent energy support from the Demon Bird God made the crack disappear like lightning, but...something has happened.

A piece of Slaanesh domain, and everything on it, was sent to the real world! It became a purple scar on the Udal world!

"Work hard, please me, show me the answer, show me everything - Thasorel! You bring nine hundred and ninety-nine troops to the border to prevent Elysium's attack! - Yes! I want to See clearly! See clearly!”

"I%&...%*&! Warriors of Slaanesh! Follow me! Cut off all the subordinates of that blue bastard first!"

Slaanesh's feet were forcibly inserted into the real world, and he completely understood that his current situation was not good to an outrageous level. The great demon of sexual abuse directly surpassed the most powerful vixen in the history of Terra, and scolded Tzeentch. Six minutes later, he took his subordinates—the six Slaanesh demon armies currently on this Slaanesh Desire Land, each of which had 6,666 Slaanesh demons—to begin. Slaanesh's Pilgrimage, although the power of the cursed lingering in this world is like a chokehold to it, and although there are at least thousands of mortal souls and flesh and blood to collect in this world, for the current Nagrigen explain--

Revenge against Tzeentch who caused it to end up in this field is the most important thing it should do!

————————————————Beyond the Queen of Glory————————————————————

"Um? Brother Big E, you mean that part of the subspace essence of the realm of Slaanesh was dragged by Tzeentch to the world of Udal? What consequences will this bring?"

On the bridge of the Queen of Glory, because after the great demon Slaanesh appeared, Slaanesh's pollution reaction erupted without any warning, so the Hammermen, who had temporarily postponed their attack, looked at the screen and took the initiative to contact them. Brother Big E, and after quickly understanding what Brother Big E meant, Liang Feifan immediately spoke up.

"Yes, although the whole thing was caused by Tzeentch's conspiracy, this is an opportunity for Slaanesh to suffer a real loss - although, for its destructive power, such a The loss is even less than that of a dust particle.”

"But if the upper limit of the health bar has been cut, it has been cut. Even if it only loses one, it has been cut, right? Big E, how do you say it is cut? We will do it!"

The God's Chosen rubbed his hands vigorously and entered a state of excitement. The other hammer guys also began to be eager to try - an opportunity to lower the upper limit of the health bar of one of the destructive powers? This is so exciting!

"A strong attack, a devastating attack before 'retracting' one's tentacles in the subspace. After the war, I will do my best to use my power to briefly enhance the strength of your chess pieces.

Make them more deadly when facing the creations of the subspace - according to the table description, all your chess pieces can get +1 damage to demons in this battle, and they can get +1 special protection when facing demon attacks. , and if your pieces lose all W due to the demon's attack, they will still be allowed to continue fighting for one round. "694936135

"Huh? So outrageous? You won't have any adverse reactions because of this, Brother E?"

Hearing that this rounding was roughly equal to the super BUFF bonus of cheating, the hammer guys couldn't help but worry about whether Big E could hold on, but Big E chuckled lightly and gave the hammer guys a 'rest assured' answer.

"I can hold on. Besides, I also plan to take this opportunity to see some 'answers' for that blue software thing, so that it can see some 'things' it wants to see."

Seventy-nine. The Battle of Udal - The Whistle Sounds

The warp storm weakened again.

In a small room that only he could enter, the Rune Priest of the Space Wolves, Tolom Frostmark, gently put down the divination tool in his hand. After skillfully erasing the divination traces on the table, he looked at The runes hanging in front of him showed him the answer, and he sighed deeply - since those comrades who crash-landed in the world of Soseki during the most violent subspace storm, and who have fought side by side with them until now, entrusted STC to After giving it to them and leaving, the weakening speed of the subspace storm surrounding the Morton Hess galaxy suddenly increased by an order of magnitude. Before, Tolomu thought that they would have to be trapped in this galaxy for at least a long time. However, now, Rune Priest felt that if the subspace storm continued to decline at this rate, they would have a chance in less than a month. Contact with the outside world.

However, as an Astartes who has served for more than two hundred years and has carefully walked the path of the Rune Priest for a hundred years, Trom knows very well that matters involving psychic energy and subspace can never be Just use the word 'coincidence' to fool around with it. He was almost certain that the rapid weakening of the subspace storm was inseparable from the mysterious comrades who left. However, the reason why it was almost certain was because——

Trom also knows very well that when it comes to matters involving subspace, sometimes it is the right choice not to investigate in depth. Since the runes do not tell him more, he does not have to take the initiative to dig deeper - Fenris Those documents that only rune priests are qualified to read record a large number of catastrophic consequences of mortals' good intentions doing bad things that are involved in the subspace. Under the premise that the runes do not reveal anything more, stay conservative and cautious. In itself, it is one of the most needed virtues of a rune priest.

"Tolom, how are you doing today?"

After the Rune Priest collected everything in the room and destroyed everything that should be destroyed, the voice of the Gali Wolf came to his ears through the headset.

"The depletion speed of the subspace storm exceeds my expectation. Assuming that it continues to deplete at this rate for some time to come, in about a month, the astrological communication between the Morton Hess system and the outside world and the subspace navigation will return to normal. ”

After packaging today's data and sending it to the Galli Wolf, Tolom stood up from his seat, moved his shoulders slightly, opened the heavy door, and walked along the creaking corridor toward the ground. He went up, but when he walked to the exit, the Rune Priest was slightly surprised to find that the Gali Wolf was waiting at the exit.

"Are you worried?"

Tuolom, who could tell at a glance that the Galli Wolf did not come to him for any official business, took a few sips from a wolf wine bottle from the old wolf's waist and put his hand on the Galli Wolf's shoulder. , and walked with him to the Space Wolves' station - which is also the storage area of ​​the STC.

"When I was resting just now, I saw the entire Udal slowly sinking into the raging fire, and the emblem of the All-Father was shining brightly on it - and then, I woke up."

Be concise and to the point.

"This means that the filth in the world of Udal will be purified, and our battle brothers will surely achieve the final victory - the Morton Hess galaxy will all return to the embrace of the empire at some point in the future."

Answer quickly.

"I see."

After hearing that his rune priest gave a very formulaic answer that could indeed explain the meaning of his sudden dream, the Galli Wolf didn't say much and silently took the drink from the priest's hand. He took back the dry wolf wine bottle and put it back on his waist. Looking at the movements of the Gali Wolf, knowing that his captain simply wanted to confirm something certain to him, the Rune Priest nodded slowly and took his hand off the Gali Wolf's shoulder.

"I believe that the All-Father is watching them from the beginning to the end."

————————————The dividing line in Udal’s world————————————————————

"For the Lord of Joy! Kill all the servants of the mutator's family!"

Amidst the loud shouts, Nagrigen, the great demon of Slaanesh, was filled with the anger of being deceived and the fear that he might be wiped out in this world. Driven by the strange and new experience produced by the intertwining of these two emotions, Leading the demon army under his command, he is frantically hunting for the Tzeentch demons that are still jumping around in the world of Udal - indeed, it can smell the current demons in the world of Udal.

The mood fluctuations of the mortals in the world showed slight fluctuations due to his appearance, but now it wants to kill Tzeentch!

"Gah - you can't fight against Trazech!"

Of course, although he no longer had a leading brother, the Tzeentch demons hunted by the demon army of Slaanesh did not sit still and wait for death. Instead, they harnessed the remaining power of the crystal labyrinth in the world of Udal and tried their best to attack Slaanesh. The demons fought back. The two subspace forces guided the power of the non-material world and collided crazily in reality, causing weird colors to spread in the sky, and heart-stopping sounds to spread crazily along the air - no need to doubt, assuming that this is allowed to happen As the battle continues, it will be a matter of time before the entire Udal world, no, even the entire Morton Hess galaxy, falls into the clutches of subspace.

only......

"Gah?"

"ah!?"

When Nagrigen commanded his own bodyguards, he turned into an extremely vicious whip of Slaanesh and whipped a group of stubborn Tzeentch fire demons into pieces together with other Tzeentch demons mixed among them. The moment their essence was crushed into dust, those golden clouds like rolling flames suddenly surged up in the sky, and burned at an extremely fast speed toward those in the sky that were polluted by the filth of subspace. Area, just in the blink of an eye, the demons on the ground - as long as there is still one breath left - all let out ear-piercing roars.
