Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

Chapter 155 Storm of Destruction: Warmaster Abaddon

The title of Warmaster did not belong to Abaddon, but to his father Horus. In the beginning, Warmaster was such an honorable title, and its value was enough for several outstanding Primarchs to compete for it. The honorable title awarded by the Emperor himself is now a title that people are afraid to avoid.

After Abaddon's rebellion, this once glorious title completely changed its nature and became a blasphemous and cursed title.

In the human empire, even if the high lords want to appoint a commander to command a large army including space marines, they will only use the title of Sun Lord, Supreme Lord, or the title of Supreme Marshal that once belonged to Vitor to call him, instead of Warmaster.

Abaddon stole this title. After Horus' death, he took the title of Warmaster. He tried his best to get rid of Horus' influence, existence and everything. He changed the name of the legion, turned the Sons of Horus into the Black Legion, and even erased the name of its Primarch from everywhere, as if everything that happened ten thousand years ago no longer existed.

He proudly declared that he was better than his father. His pride and arrogance made him try his best to surpass his Primarch, just like Horus treated the Emperor at that time.

I don't know if he has surpassed his father, but for ten thousand years, he has successfully made the title of Warmaster completely synonymous with destruction, despair and death.

Abaddon roared and strode forward. His footsteps were like iron hooves that crushed everything. He strode up high and waved his power claws to chop at Celestine, who waved the flaming sword to block the claws flashing with black lightning.

Abaddon raised his claws to attack here. Abaddon was already tall. He was three meters tall in the Terminator armor. Now Abaddon has been blessed by the four gods, making him more burly and terrifying. He pressed towards Celestine like a black mountain.

The attack of the Black Legion Warmaster had no skills, rules or strategies, but pure destructive power. He did not dodge, did not evade, and did not use any extra skills. He just kept hitting Celestine with the power claws filled with the power of the warp.

The claws and the flaming sword collided with each other, and the powerful force that was stirred up distorted the surrounding space, just like a vortex tearing the curtain between the physical universe and the warp.

The destructive lightning of the Soul Sea continued to be like a shadow, and those turbulent waves surged around Celestine, and the whispers that were enough to drive people crazy were endless. If she had not also had the blessing of the Emperor, she would have been torn apart by the power of the warp.

The little angel was suppressed. She kept waving the flaming sword to block the attack. She looked through the gap between the blade and the claw blade. She looked at Abaddon's terrifying face. The scarlet light flashed around the head, illuminating the terrifying face.

Suddenly, the artillery fire in the air became more intense, and countless shells fell to the ground like a rainstorm. Celestine looked at the dust and fire raised by the explosions around her. She looked at the chaotic warships in the air, and their artillery fire suddenly had no obstacles.

Like Celestine, Creed also noticed this. The Lord of the Castle shot down a bloodletter, and then turned his head in surprise to look at the orbital defense array in the direction of the bastion, which had stopped firing. All the ground-based heavy weapons suddenly shut down, and almost at the moment when the orbital defense system collapsed, the terrifying firepower of the Destruction Fleet was all fired.

The orbital bombardment hit the ground, the buildings in the bastion overturned, explosions broke out, and anti-aircraft guns and gun turrets were hit and exploded one by one. A huge fireball rose up and formed a huge fireball above the bastion, just like a tactical nuclear bomb.

"My lord, lie down!" Creed's loyal adjutant rushed forward and threw Creed into the trench. The moment they entered the trench, countless artillery fire bombarded the battlefield. The destructive artillery fire hit the heads of the imperial soldiers, and the flames swept everywhere. The explosion swallowed countless lives.

The bombing was unexpected, and no one had any time to react. The destructive artillery fire covered the entire battlefield. The Leman Russ main battle tank exploded and disintegrated in the artillery fire. The self-propelled artillery and howitzer positions exploded one by one. The mortal soldiers, battle sisters and space warriors of Cadia were all subjected to devastating attacks.

Celestine looked at the explosions around her, but her attention was quickly attracted back by Abaddon. The Warmaster waved his power claws at Celestine, forcing her to pay attention to the Warmaster himself again.

Abaddon and Celestine continued to fight in the flying artillery fire. They were like two actors dancing in the flames, performing a wonderful feast on this stage of destruction.

The Space Marines around were still fighting. Even though there were explosions everywhere, the Chaos demons and traitors still showed no signs of retreating, especially the World Eaters. They rushed through the artillery coverage area in a bloodthirsty rage and rushed towards the loyalists under their own artillery fire.

The bloody meat-crushing battle between the two sides became more intense under the bombardment. All the bolters and long-range means lost their meaning. The battle became the most primitive form, a close-range melee between blades and fists.

The deafening explosions and the soaring flames disturbed people's senses. Celestine was almost numb and kept blocking mechanically. The sounds of the subspace mixed with the chaotic battlefield around her, like a typhoon and storm in her mind.

She seemed to be trying to find a gap, a gap where Abaddon would have a flaw, and this gap suddenly appeared as the defense system suddenly crashed and suddenly restarted again.

The orbital defense systems in the bastion were all restarted, and all the remaining anti-aircraft firepower fired back at full speed. The Chaos warships in orbit, who thought that the Imperial orbital defense system had been destroyed, were caught off guard. One warship after another shattered and exploded under the attack of heavy turbo laser cannons.

The bombing of the fleet quickly weakened, and Celestine also seized the flaw after the explosion weakened. A shell, which was not known whether it was from the Empire or the Chaos side, fell from the sky and hit Abaddon and Celestine. The Warmaster naturally raised his hand and used the power of the subspace to intercept and destroy it.

The fire of the explosion illuminated the two of them, and also created an opportunity for Celestine.

The little angel immediately launched an attack. She flashed in front of Abaddon at lightning speed and slashed the flaming sword at Abaddon's head. The Warmaster seemed unable to stop it at this moment, and the flaming sword slashed at Abaddon's neck.

But just like this series of sudden accidents, the flames burning on Celestine's flaming sword disappeared, and she herself weakly hit the ground. She knelt in front of Abaddon and was powerless. The golden light on her body was taken away from her body.

Abaddon also stepped back a few steps. He knelt on the ground with a low roar. The power of the warp in his body was also taken away. The distorted space around him began to return to normal quickly. Abaddon raised his head and looked at everything around him.

The power of the warp was drying up rapidly, as if it was sucked away by a vortex. Due to the loss of the maintenance of the warp energy, the demon army began to disappear. One by one, the demons turned into flickering particles and disappeared on the ground. Those Chaos wizards who relied on the power of the warp also screamed in pain like psychics.

Their heads exploded into pieces, and the demon engines were instantly paralyzed and fell to the ground. This was not only the case on the Chaos side, but all the warriors of the Cursed Legion on the Empire side disappeared instantly, as fleeting as a candle in the wind.

"No, they discovered the secret of the Black Stone, no!" Abaddon roared and stood up. He shook off the support of his guards. Although he had lost the blessing of the warp, he was still a powerful warrior and the undisputed warmaster of the Chaos Legion!

Abaddon walked in front of Celestine. He looked at the little angel who was kneeling on the ground and could not raise her head weakly. Her wings were becoming lighter and lighter, like a phantom. She was no longer a living saint, but just an ordinary little girl.

"What an inglorious victory." Abaddon said, raising his claws, and he slashed at Celestine's neck.

A green light suddenly lit up, and Abaddon turned his head to avoid it, but his claws stopped the moment the light disappeared, and Abaddon was hit back by the halberd.

The warmaster retreated again and again, and after he stood firm, he looked at the giant that suddenly appeared with a flash of light. Celestine also raised his head with difficulty and looked at the golden giant on the side.

An imperial guard wearing golden armor stood with a spear.

"I am Dratius, the captain of the shield guard under the Emperor." The imperial guard waved the halberd with one arm, pointing the spearhead at the ground.

He is the emperor's personal guard, he is the emperor's imperial guard.
