Chapter 65

The dark lady, who didn't expect this detail at all, was stuck.

"So, I unilaterally suggest that you use Lusaka to move around now - the Great Demon of Slaanesh must have the ability to transform into a mortal size. Then, after we prepare the chess pieces, we will use you as an auxiliary anchor to come down and take you there. Universe, after finding Erebus, then hold a ceremony to throw out your follow-up troops, maybe that’s the right thing to do?”

Twenty-five, Erebus must die! ——The ‘infiltration’ plan of the hammer guys

The delicate ground is paved with minced meat.

The white stones are regular and carefully carved, but they create a crooked wall.

The colors are gorgeous and soft to the touch, but all kinds of furs and satins are messily sewn together with human skin or worse things.

The halo is brilliant and the shape is perfect, but it is embedded with pearls and gems in the dry flesh and broken bones.

The paintings hanging on the wall are full of beauty at first glance, but upon closer inspection you will find the catastrophic incongruity in them. You can vaguely smell the smell of blood or even weirder body fluids.

It seems to be interpreting some stories seriously, but as soon as you get close to it, you will find that it is covered with symbols of unknown meaning and raised sculptures with completely abnormal materials.

By the way, there is also the strong aroma that is always permeating the air that can easily suffocate ordinary people and is so close to the stench. You can see bottles and jars filled with liquids that are obviously wrong from the color. There were food scraps scattered on the ground, as well as things imprisoned in cages that might be considered human beings.

This is the external manifestation of the filthy ocean that the power of Slaanesh has brought to reality. It is full of beauty and splendor, but they are pieced together by the concept of "extreme", which perfectly interprets the meaning of the idiom that things must be reversed when they reach their extremes - Youth is quilted Distorted, leaving only weirdness, beauty desecrated, leaving only corruption.

When the Dark Lady's Slaanesh Demon descended into the body, Shi Shiran walked into the base camp of the Howling Desire warband on this planet, and pushed away the Slaanesh warband's demon lair with a perfect posture. When she opened the door of the main building, this crazy scene was presented to her without hesitation - and she had already used her descending body to follow her. In the eyes of the other hammer guys who came to this devil's cave with her, it impacted their will and spirit - even if the filtering level was turned to the highest level, Liang Feifan and the political commissar sister, who knew what these things were in essence, could still feel it. , that feeling called 'disgusting' is surging out from the depths of his soul.

"I see in the combat records that you have dealt with Slaanesh stuff a few times before? Why do you look so uncomfortable even with the filter turned on?"

A certain dark lady who seemed to have no problem at all looked around curiously, and even tried to analyze what liquid the colors on the painting came from.

"... I have watched it on the ship before, and it was all burned with Brother E's fire. This is the first time for me to experience the corruption of Slaanesh at such a close range and immersively - Lady Dark, are you really okay?"

Liang Feifan, who finally got control of his situation, raised his right hand and wiped the corner of his mouth where there was nothing. He looked at the dark lady who had started to use Lusaka's weapon to dismantle the sculpture with a confused expression, completely unable to understand it. Why is she so brave when she can't use any filters?

"Ah? I have special brain-filling skills. There are some things that I can just fill my head with. This sculpture seems to be a blend of six different styles, that's why it looks so bad on the outside. You guys say we give it another What will happen if we complement two styles?”

"Nothing will happen. I think you will be forced by Big E to drag you back to calm down for a few days - we are here to beat Erebus, not to appreciate the art of Slaanesh - Litchi Zhang, have you found the spaceship?"

The political commissar sister said in a "very scary" tone the possible consequences of IF Dark Lady continuing to wander like this, while looking at Lizhi Zhang who wandered around the surrounding rooms - when they entered this hall, one of them The best at running Warhammer 40k groups, he used his Guan Gong colored chess piece to come to the 40k world. Litchi Zhang spontaneously entered the state, frantically looking for clues around him, and looking at his current appearance, it seems that he has really found something?

"I have determined the location of the launch tower, and I have also found the spacecraft that can go to the universe. However, there is a small problem. Some messy information from the launch tower shows that the orbit above the planet has been destroyed by Erebus. A cruiser of the gang blocked the door, and its main gun muzzle was facing the base. If the countdown was up, if the Howling Desire gang did not surrender, it would open fire directly - by the way, the countdown might only have one hour left. "

"Forehead……"

Liang Feifan looked up - well, now he could only see the wonderful ceiling of Slaanesh - then thought for a second and came up with his own idea.

"Under the premise of having control of the universe, Erebus's war gang did not clear out this Chaos war gang at the first time. Does it mean that they have something to ask for? Can we take advantage of this? Make a fake surrender, such as Something like that?"

"It's 100% asking for help. If we were just asking for something on the planet, with the Chaos Astartes' bottomless operation method, 10000% would have plowed the planet back and forth three or two times - and then, we are now How can people like this get along?”

The political commissar thought for a moment along Liang Feifan's train of thought and then made a judgment.

"Playing chess pieces? Is it okay for our chess pieces to pretend to be people?"

Liang Feifan felt that this matter did not seem to be difficult, and then received a subtle response from Lizhi Zhang.

"The people of Erebus came to force a bunch of Slaanesh Astartes, but it turned out that the one who expressed his willingness to join them was the Black Legion brother of Khorne. Do you think that according to the usual thinking of the Chaos Astartes, Erebus What would the people of Bath think?"

"Then it must be that this Slaanesh warband has been plotted, and these old brothers who have plotted the Slaanesh warband are not happy enough - well, this is indeed our current predicament."

Liang Feifan understood what Litchi Zhang meant in a flash. The Astartes of the Khorne faction were straightforward and never ambiguous when it came to killing people. The Black Legion was currently the most visible force in the mortal world. , with this identity, the Chaos Astartes are slightly more powerful than other factions—— These two factions suddenly appeared in the hometown of a Slaanesh warband that they wanted to recruit as their own. After slaughtering the local Slaanesh brothers, they patted their chests and said, "Erebus, you are so handsome. We Decided to follow you!" - As long as a Chaos Commander with a right mind, I am afraid that not the first reaction will be...

"You want to sneak into my ship and show your loyalty to the braid while sacrificing blood to the blood god? Boom!"

"But, all the Slaanesh Astartes here were burned by the Dark Lady. Even if the Dark Lady didn't burn them, they wouldn't necessarily cooperate with us - otherwise, I'll get a Manta to bring them out. Let us quietly go to heaven and try to join the gang? "

Liang Feifan used the corner of his eye to look at the dark lady who was obviously ordered to die by Big E, who was purifying the devil's cave with golden flames with a "sad look on her face", and at the same time came up with an idea that he couldn't even figure out. ——After all, if a manta suddenly pops up in a place like Aishanyan, everyone knows there is something wrong!

"I have a way. I can control the skins of those Chaos Astartes as puppets. I can use their leaders to reply to the people of Erebus. Although the skins have no fighting power, they can pretend to be alive. No pressure - the operation of the Slaanesh thing is actually very easy to simulate.”

Ms. Dark spoke, and what she said made Liang Feifan's mind stop for a tenth of a second.

"Um...Dark Lady, are you sure you are not the true form of Slaanesh in the real universe?"

"Definitely not! You should make preparations! By the way! Blur the signal! This place is half burned!"

——————————————Above the planet’s orbit, the Painful Truth——————————

The truth is always full of pain, and only those who dare to walk in pain can understand the ultimate truth of the universe.

The captain of the Painful Truth stood in front of his captain's seat, clasping his hands and looking at the "monastery" of the Howling Desire warband displayed on the screen with emotionless eyes, waiting for the leader of this warband. After seeing the results of the ritual, make the right decision - as Erebus' One of his close confidants, the Word Bearer, had actually learned through the sounds in the warp that the Howling Desire warband was trying to use a ritual that he thought was too high a task to win the favor of Slaanesh and try to make a comeback. ——And the reason why he did not interfere with the ceremony at all was because he was very convinced——

Warbands like Howling Desire who are not familiar with the heart of the Destruction Might will definitely not be favored by the Destruction Mighty!

"How long is the countdown?"

Although the Astartes' superhuman senses and the blessing of the power of Chaos allow the Word Bearers captain to easily judge the jump of time, in the Eye of Terror, time is not a number that can be strictly quantified. It is possible that The next second is already in place, or it is possible that the next second will never come.

"The color of the energy lamp has begun to turn red. In addition, we have received clutter communications from the ground."

His subordinates answered his countdown question and gave him an unexpected surprise.

"Oh, it looks like at least some of the little ones from Howling Desire figured it out, and that's good, good."

Hearing what his subordinates told him, a hint of joy flashed across the face of the Captain of the Word Bearers - it is true that the Astartes of Slaanesh are not qualified to be cannon fodder most of the time, but the Astartes are Astartes after all. Especially, for a force like Erebus, which is relatively labor-intensive and free of charge to recruit people - well, even for a force that has blood feuds with most of the forces in the Eye of Terror, it is extremely necessary to collect every available force. matter. After all, those Word Bearers who followed Erebus all knew that if Erebus lost too much voice among the Word Bearers, then based on Erebus's 'prestige' among the Word Bearers, , their genetic primarch Luojia, they might as well have sold Erebus to a force willing to "acquire" him at a good price!

"The signal is stable and the clutter is reduced."

"Take it to me."

Feeling that the matter was done, the Word Bearers captain nodded slightly, raised his hand, and triggered the communication device in front of him. In an instant, the picture of the leader of the Howling Desire warband could be said to be that compared to the previous communication. The miserable face appeared in a snowflake on the screen.

"I...I surrender! I am willing to follow you! Just give me...I want...ahhhhh!"

The next second, the leader of the Howling Desire warband suddenly disappeared from the screen, and then, something

The sound of rolling on the ground was heard, followed by another murmur like a battle. The Word Bearer captain's expression stiffened slightly, and he then sent a message to the ground while the communication was still going on. His command.

"Take off all your weapons and equipment. I will arrange for an aircraft to transport these weapons and equipment. Then, you will follow this aircraft and come up in your own spaceship - I will personally tell you about the destructive power you are following. Holy Word.”

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

"Okay, what are we going to do next?"

Liang Feifan, currently in the form of an Astartes with the appearance of the Black Legion, half-crouched and thought this was an easy job. As a result, when he got off the aircraft, he was dragged into the illusion by the Dark Lady, and he was struck by an axe. Exploding bombs, beside the corpse of the Word Bearers Astartes who remained silent, he carefully 'read' this The chaotic and rebellious power armor carved incomprehensible scriptures, trying to figure out the thinking circuit of these bad things - of course, within three seconds, Liang Feifan gave up this behavior, just because even if there is a big E Without my brother's power as a filter, the things written by the Word Bearers are too outrageous.

"I will pretend to be like him and take the equipment with me on this aircraft. You will follow me on the Howling Desire warband's ship. After I get up, I will use the illusion to confuse the minds of the people in the hangar. You can take advantage of this opportunity. Sneak into the ship during the window, prepare your troops, and wait. The moment I sent their captain away, I took action immediately - will it be exposed in advance? Don't worry, the illusion I created has completely enveloped this ground-to-air aircraft, and the other chaotic gadgets above probably think they are helping. Moving equipment!”

"OK."

Although the operation of the Dark Lady can be said to be quite chaotic, the hammer guys unanimously felt that this operation was very feasible. Of course, the next second, Liang Feifan thought of something else.

"Those skin bags... do you want to take them with you?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Liang Feifan realized what he had said and kept silent. The secret-keeper face of the dark lady also looked at him with a "weird" look. Half a minute later, this unknown person Only then did Hammer spit out a sentence.

"I think you are a little extreme - if you like, I can't help you..."

"No need! Burn it all!"

Liang Feifan immediately denied what he just said, while Ms. Dark shrugged her shoulders, raised an arm, and flicked her fingers.

The golden flames roared, completely swallowing up all the filth inside the devil's cave.

26. Erebus must die!——The dark lady who boarded the ship

"This is a victory that belongs to Lord Erebas, the Dark Apostle."

Looking at the two surface-to-air craft slowly returning to the cruiser displayed on the screen, the Word Bearers following Erebus stationed in the hangar said this.

As a new generation of Astartes who have been following the great priest who was the first of the Word Bearers to see the existence of Chaos Truth, the Word Bearers knew that although their leader dedicated the original Chaos Truth to His Primarch made him understand the hypocrisy of the rotting corpse on the throne, but it was an indisputable fact that his leader was extremely disliked in the Eye of Terror - the most direct reason for not being liked was One of the reactions is that Lord Erebus's warband replacements have always been quite subtle - therefore, as Erebus's messenger, let more people understand the greatness of their leader, and make them willing and even ecstatic to join Erebus. Si's great cause has always been one of their most important responsibilities. After all, no matter how great the idea is, in the Eye of Terror, a place filled with chaotic truth, no one will listen to it without sufficient strength.

"Brother, let me tell you, the most appropriate end for these wastes who only know how to follow the path of pleasure is to just throw them somewhere and let them fend for themselves - let such guys join our team of truth, Ariba Mr. Si is really hungry."

However, the battle brother who stood beside him and performed this mission with him, who was said to have been born in a time when the voices of the gods had not yet spread among the Word Bearers, had obvious objections to this - in his opinion Come on, your war gang is short of manpower, but you won’t be able to get all the rotten fish and shrimps into your hands. Followers of the truth who only believe in the God of Joy are notoriously unreliable, so let this kind of thing join Eriba. Does Mr. Si's journey really mean anything?

"Lord Erebus will let them realize the true original truth, and they will be reborn in Nirvana in the holy words of the Primarch."

The Word Bearer who spoke first had the signature smile on his face when the Word Bearers preached, and used an impeccable Word Bearer logic to convince his battle brothers - of course, the words lingering in his heart were...

'Wake up, brother, with Lord Erebus's connections in the Eye of Terror, we can only recruit as many people as possible like this guy!'

"Indeed, it was me who was abrupt, brother."

Although I felt in my heart that the Howling Desire gang would not change anything even if they read the Primarch's Book of Holy Words from beginning to end, yet out of respect for the Primarch and those who were loyal to them, they spoke The Word Bearer who spoke to him flattered his battle brother duplicitously - but at this time

, the aircraft filled with Slaanesh warbands also flew into the hangar and slid steadily to the parking area.

"These guys finally didn't make any mistakes this time."

Looking at the aircraft's impeccable parking action this time, the Word Bearer who spoke first muttered and walked towards the rear entrance of the aircraft - he had to complete his task quickly, and then go back to read the book of the Primarch carefully, he hadn't finished his class today!

"Wait a minute, brother, do you think they can really do such a perfect parking? When the aircraft is loaded with a bunch of equipment from the guys from the Path of Debauchery?"

However, before the first Word Bearer took two steps, he had experienced too many great The old Word Bearer who had experienced the ups and downs of the expedition raised his weapon to stop the young Word Bearer's behavior. On the surface, this parking was indeed fine, but the problem was that it was too perfect! Even the scale error of the parking distance was calculated in a very small unit! Those guys on the ship could not do this level of parking at all!

"Brother, do you mean that those guys are actually pretending to surrender and want to trick us?"

Hearing the doubts expressed by the veteran beside him, the young Word Bearer, who was originally slightly excited about the completion of this task, stopped.

"The followers of the Lord of Pleasure are not good at such tactics, and such tactics are more likely to appear in the organizations of the followers of the Lord of Change."

Speaking this, the veteran of the Great Expedition steadily raised his grenade gun and carefully aimed at the aircraft in the distance, waiting for something wrong to come out of it and then taking action - however, one minute passed, two minutes passed... The aircraft still did not move, as if everyone on it was asleep.

"Brother, the situation is totally wrong. Notify the others, battle formation - brother, brother?"

There was a sudden silence in his ears, but the old soldier of the Word Bearers realized some terrible possibility. He quickly entered the combat state, chanting the holy words of the Primarch to stabilize his mind, and followed his well-trained combat instincts, aiming his gun in a certain direction - although there was nothing in that direction, he was sure that there was something over there!

"Hehe..."

The elegant and frivolous snicker burst in his ears, and the powerful psychic pressure almost made the old soldier who had walked in the Great Crusade kneel to the ground. In his pupils, a great keeper of secrets walked out of nothingness - on the weapon of one of its hands, hung the body of his fighting brother that was so dry that only skin and bones were left - there was no doubt that his brother should not even have a soul left.

"Demon... So they succeeded?"

Under the psychic pressure brought to him by the supernatural existence in front of him, the old soldier of the Word Bearers gritted his teeth and uttered a sentence - that useless Slaanesh war gang actually summoned a great keeper of secrets? But why didn't anyone on his ship catch the wave of it stepping into the Eye of Terror from the warp?

"Heh... the truth you pursue, in its most granular form, isn't it just a demon like us? Everything will turn to its opposite when it reaches its extreme, and gods and demons are one. If you don't understand this truth, what kind of Word Bearers are you?"

However, to the surprise of the Word Bearer veteran, the Great Secret Keeper did not come up and kill him, but looked him up and down for a while, and then spoke with interest. Hearing the irony in the tone of the Slaanesh demon towards some of his own Primarch's ideas, the Word Bearer veteran suddenly became furious.

"Servant of Elysium! Are you slandering the original truth brought to us by our Primarch? You must know that in the endless chaos, you are just a wisp of dust!"

"No, no, no, I just think that your Primarch is quite unlucky. His truth cannot even be surpassed by his own. As we all know, to make Lorgar speechless, you only need a book - your companion has read this book just now, and now it's your turn."

In the eyes of the Word Bearers veteran who felt that he had met Tzeentch and Nurgle as friends, a ball of golden flame suddenly rose on one of the hands of the Great Keeper of Secrets. Although a book written by the Great Word Bearer, it is a forbidden book among the Word Bearers appeared in its hand - the book was opened, and he The opening words of the Primarch Lorgar were outlined in golden flames, clearly presented in front of him!

"You! What on earth are you! You are not a servant of the Lord of Pleasure! No! No! I don't want to read that book! Ah... Ah? Ah!!!!!!!"

When the "Word of the Emperor" was pressed against his face, for a moment, the veteran of the Word Bearers felt that he might as well face millions of bloodthirsty demons, because those golden words were all imprinted in his heart in the form of flames, igniting his soul - the thousands of heresies praising the Lord of Corpses were madly colliding with the original truth in his mind, making him more painful and fragmented - what is the truth? What is heresy? I can't tell, I can't tell!

But...

In the soul perception of this veteran of the Great Crusade, time may have passed for a second, or may have passed for tens of millions of years? The Word Bearers veteran felt that his mind was suddenly enlightened, and his soul, which had been shattered by the golden flames, was slowly being "recast". A series of questions that he had not been able to find answers to before became clear and understandable with the help of the words in the Words of the Emperor. A bunch of facts that had originally confused him became clear in the Words of the Emperor.

After baptism, it became something visible and understandable - so that's it, so that's it! His own Primarch had already written the truth! However, he actually betrayed the truth because of doubts! How ridiculous! How sad!

"I saw the truth! I heard the truth! So that's it! It turns out that you are the real original will! Even those four will bow down before you in the end! What appears before me now is just the smallest manifestation of your great power! Great God-Emperor! Your humble redeemer hereby begs, begs you to be merciful and give me a chance, a chance to let my filthy body be loyal to you with the last remaining life and soul!"

Although his body has been completely submerged by the Emperor's flames, and his soul is suffering from the unspeakable pain brought by the Emperor's flames, this veteran of the Word Bearers has entered a state of fanaticism. He screams and cries, not caring about his image at all, and not caring about the fact that his life has actually entered the countdown.

"......."

Looking at the crazy Word Bearer Astarte in front of her, whose body was swirling with the Emperor's fire, but not only was he not burned to ashes, but he suddenly gave off a breath of "I have realized it", the corner of the Dark Lady's mouth twitched - but fortunately, she quickly understood what happened to the Word Bearer in the communication of Big Brother E, so the Dark Lady immediately got into the state again and started the performance.

"Do you know your sin?"

The Dark Lady, who was posing in a solemn and solemn manner, spoke in a majestic and heavy tone, just like a bishop of the State Church who was interrogating a rebellious one - if you ignore her current appearance as a great keeper of secrets.

"I know my sin."

The words on his body had turned golden, and the flames on his body gradually subsided. The old Word Bearer in the power armor immediately returned to seriousness, prostrated himself, and sincerely repented.

"Your choice?"

The Dark Lady took a step forward and gently placed one of her swords on the shoulder of the old Word Bearer.

"I will offer all my loyalty to Him with my life and soul - whether living or dead."

The Word Bearers veteran stood up from the ground, holding his scepter-like weapon, which was one of the symbols of his identity under the Dark Messenger, with both hands, and broke it into two pieces with the strength of his hands and knees, and then threw it into the golden flames under the feet of the Dark Lady without hesitation. Such a déjà vu action not only made the Dark Lady stunned for a second, but also the hammer men sitting on the boat behind... with different expressions.

"He has promised that you can use your remaining body to embark on the road of atonement. When the atonement is completed, his kingdom will naturally open to you."

The broken scepter fell to the ground with a clang, and then it was burned into a twisted piece of scrap metal by the Emperor's Holy Flame. The Dark Lady, who reacted to what she should do now from this picture, hurriedly continued to do what she should do, and the political commissar sister who came here with a World Eater veteran as the descending body pondered for a while, and threw a power sword at the Word Bearers veteran.

"You too?"

The Word Bearers veteran who recognized the power sword as the Great Crusade version looked at the Commissar sister, and received a ferocious smile from the 'Astartes brother'.

"Let's not waste any more time. This time the Lord of Mankind wants us to settle the sins of Erebus - we all have different missions. You are a veteran, you must know what you should do now."

"Understood, I will contact the bridge immediately."
