Chapter 1327 Halftime break (It’s too hot and I’m exhausted)

With the killing of Abaddon, the Black Legion's 13th Crusade was completely declared a failure.

The remaining black army quickly evacuated and hastily disappeared into the depths of the Eye of Terror. On Cadia, the warriors cheered for this hard-won victory, only Duanmu Huai stood there, looking at the Eye of Terror in front of him, with no joy or sadness.

From the Empire's perspective, this time they won a great victory. Not only did they kill Abaddon, the Empire's biggest threat, but they also thwarted the enemy's invasion and once again secured the Empire's front line against Chaos.

But in Duanmu Huai's opinion, this was a draw.

Because Duanmu Huai knew very well that in the dimension of time, stopping the 13th Black Crusade was nothing. The Chaos God could find an Abaddon, and then he could find another Warmaster. It was just a matter of time. After that, there would be the 14th, 15th, and 16th times... Then one day, Cadia would be blown apart, and the Eye of Terror would tear the universe apart.

History cannot be changed, it can only be corrected.

From this point of view, the purpose of Chaos Evil God using a certain period of history to test his power has been achieved. Because in this period of history, Duanmu Huai could not kill Chaos Evil God, so they can commit suicide in various ways. Anyway, unless Duanmu Huai chooses to destroy this timeline, they can't die.

And now, they have obtained information about Duanmu Huai's power and characteristics, especially the Sixth Heaven Demon King... This will be very helpful information for these evil gods to harm Duanmu Huai in the future.

On the other hand, Duanmu Huai was not at a disadvantage either. Through this fight, he had thoroughly verified the strength of the Chaos Evil God, and also verified the restraint of his own priesthood on the opponent.

From this point of view, the result made Duanmu Huai quite satisfied.

No matter which Chaos Evil God, their power and strength are based on life itself, and Duanmu Huai's power of destruction is almost a natural nemesis for them. After all, once destroyed, nothing will be left, whether it is wisdom, life, courage or desire.

No more, just no more.

Any living being fears destruction, and Chaos Evil God is no exception. In this sense, Duanmu Huai is their nemesis.

Moreover, although Duanmu Huai exposed the power of the God of Destruction and the Sixth Heaven Demon King, he also concealed the power of the God of Joy and the Old Ones. Not to mention the God of Joy, Duanmu Huai intended to use the power of the Old Ones as a trump card.

Specifically, if you can't defeat it, just rush into the Eye of Terror to summon Azathoth and let it bite you.

Or maybe summoning the black goat to give the obsessed evil a hug of love would be nice too……………

Of course, the real strength of the Chaos Evil God is not limited to this, they must have hidden cards, so in Duanmu Huai's opinion, this battle is a draw.

Everyone revealed some of their strength, but no one was able to know the full extent of it. It could only be considered that the opponents who had been fighting in the air actually faced each other for the first time, and they had some understanding of each other's strength.

Duanmu Huai thought that this battle was just a draw, but Lord Creedeburg obviously did not think so. When he saw Duanmu Huai again, he appeared extremely respectful.

This is also normal. Although Duanmu Huai used soul cards to strengthen the power of the Cadia defenders, greatly improving their efficiency and attack power. And everyone was really happy at the time, but when the battle was over, many people were actually prepared to die. After all, they also knew that this kind of power was not normal, even if they burned their souls to gain this power, it was not unreasonable.

However, after Duanmu Huai put away the soul cards, everyone was surprised to find that apart from a little fatigue and exhaustion, they did not have any problems!

Not to mention that because Duanmu Huai had been healing through [Yela's Prayer], most of the people on the battlefield were lightly injured.

Only those unlucky ones who were caught up in the confrontation between Duanmu Huai and the Chaos Evil God did not escape.

There was no physical mutation, no soul destruction, and the soldiers were just somewhat exhausted. This was completely different from the ending they had imagined.

Everyone attributed this to a miracle. They believed that it was the power of the Inquisition (nonsense, those who shouted "Emperor of God" were directly strangled by Duanmu Huai) that protected them. In fact, most of the soldiers had no idea what was going on, nor did they know where those strange things came from.

But Lord Creedburg knew.

As a pragmatist, Lord Creedeburg would not be as stupid as the fanatics of the state religion. He had personally felt the effect of Duanmu Huai's enhanced magic. To be honest, if he had not been burdened with the responsibility of a battlefield commander, Lord Creedeburg would even want to go to the battlefield himself and kill the demons to his heart's content.

But unfortunately... Feeling the powerful force in his body fading away, Lord Creed was a little disappointed.

It is estimated that he will never have a second chance to experience all this in his life.

Originally, Lord Creedburg tried to retain Duanmu Huai, but Duanmu Huai rejected Lord Creedburg's request. If Duanmu Huai was a coward like Aikote, he could have stayed in Cardia and firmly controlled the throat of the Eye of Terror until his original timeline.

After all, Duanmu Huai is a god now, and time has no meaning to him.

However, Duanmu Huai was unwilling to do so. On the one hand, he was impatient and could not do such a thing as sitting back and waiting. He had no patience for fishing. If the fish did not take the bait, he would just throw a hot melt bomb into the water. For Duanmu Huai, doing such a thing was no different from going to jail.

  In addition, Duanmu Huai knew the revisionist nature of history, so what if he stayed here? He might have something to do someday, such as going to the toilet on another planet, and when he came back he found that Cardia had exploded. Wouldn't that be a waste of time?

Duanmu Huai's fight against the evil god is already a headache enough, he doesn't want to deal with the correction force of time at the same time, which would only make things difficult for himself.

Moreover, Duanmu Huai felt that he had done his utmost this time.

In the original game history, Cadia was bombed because humans did not know enough about the Necrons' Blackstone Obelisks and the true purpose of these alien creations. By the time they reacted, it was too late and they no longer had enough power to protect everything.

But now it was different. Humans had understood the importance of the obelisk on Cadia to the Eye of Terror, and the warp storm had dissipated, with Imperial reinforcements on the way. If they still lost, Duanmu Huai would have no choice.

  This is fate, what else can I do?

After all, the Inquisition protects humanity, not the Empire.

Another reason why Duanmu Huai didn't plan to stay here for long was that he planned to visit old friends to reminisce about the past. Although Abaddon was dead and the main force attacking Cadia had retreated, the Black Crusade did not end there. Duanmu Huai knew that in the game history, Abaddon had also sent a large fleet to Macragge to attack the Ultramarines. Macragge was in danger at the moment, so Duanmu Huai planned to go to Macragge.

Of course, he couldn't go alone, but Duanmu Huai had already planned to hitchhike.

So he found…………the great sage Dorakaul.

"...You want me to take you to Macragge?"

The Mechanical Sage stared at Duanmu Huai with his scarlet eyes, looking him up and down with a bit of doubt. The role of this great sage in this battle was not great, but it was not small either. In fact, one of the reasons why the black fleets withdrew was that the great sage successfully repaired and activated the Black Stone Obelisk, isolating the influence of the warp again. This made the Black Legion completely lose the support from the warp, and with Abaddon dead, they could only flee in panic, leaving Cadia and hiding in the Eye of Terror.

Kaul, who crawled out of the underground, did not witness the fighting on the front line with his own eyes, but he also heard about Duanmu Huai’s heroic deeds. Apart from anything else, the fact that he killed Abaddon, the enemy of the empire, with his own hands was enough to shock people.

"Yes."

Looking at the mechanical sage in front of him, Duanmu Huai nodded.

"I'm going to Macragge to visit an old friend. Aren't you going to Macragge as well? Then give me a ride."

"How did Your Excellency know that I was going to Macragge?"

"you still need to ask?"

Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes.

"Aren't you going to send the Battlegear of Destiny to Macragge so that Guilliman can get up? I'm here to watch this show. Why? You're not taking me with you?"

“How did you know——!”

  Hearing Duanmu Huai's nonchalant answer, Kaul's whole body was shaken so much that his CPU was almost burned!

A long time ago, Cawl made an agreement with Guilliman. Guilliman once told Cawl that one day he would fall asleep on the battlefield (which showed that Guilliman had a clear understanding of his own one-on-one strength), so he hoped that Cawl could wake him up. So in the following ten thousand years, Cawl used all the methods he could think of and finally created the Armor of Destiny.

In fact, Cawl's original itinerary was to go to Macragge to wake up Guilliman. This time, he came to Cadia to support because it was completely unexpected. After all, compared with Guilliman's awakening, it was obviously more important to contain the Eye of Terror. So Cawl decided to let Guilliman sleep for a while in the stasis field, and then go there after he dealt with the trouble in Cadia.

Kohl had always been very careful to keep his secrets, but what he didn't expect was that the secret he had hidden for ten thousand years was actually blurted out by the great inquisitor in front of him!

"Well, just decide whether to take them or not. Macragge is still being attacked by the Black Legion. Time is running out and the mission is urgent. I don't think we have time to waste here."

Duanmu Huai snorted and stared at the mechanical sage in front of him. The reason why he intervened in this matter was, on the one hand, he planned to reminisce with Guilliman, and on the other hand, Duanmu Huai also planned to slightly change history.

According to the plot in the game, after Cadia was blown up, Cawl fled with the Destiny Armor, and the Black Fleet was chasing him all the way. But a group of Eldar appeared behind him, helped Cawl resist the pursuers, and led them to escape through the webway and came to Macragge.

However, in fact, this group of Eldar were not good people. Their only purpose in saving Cawl and others was to use humans as targets for the Eldar to help them resist the increasingly fierce waves of Chaos. And it was after this that the Eldar participated in Guilliman's resurrection and successfully established a relationship with Guilliman.

Even the Eldar Death Army's God-envoy, Ivrenne, was nicknamed the Regent Princess by players because of her subsequent cooperation with Guilliman many times - well, disloyal, so killed.

As a friend of Guilliman, Duanmu Huai would certainly not allow Guilliman to embark on the blasphemous and heretical path of cooperating with aliens.

  The Eldar are not sub-humans!

Although players often associate elves and the Eldar together in games, and the two do have certain similarities, they are not exactly the same.

Take Fulilian for example, except for her ears being a little longer, her skull is basically the same as that of a human.

But the Eldar were different. Their skulls were flattened and elongated, as thin and long as a horse's face, without any of the sacred purity of a human skull.

Therefore, the Eldar are completely aliens, not a sub-human race like the elves whose ears are just longer.

That's why Duanmu Huai decided to stay with Cawl this time to avoid the Eldar trying to win over Guilliman.

As for that Evelyne?

When I see this, I'll just smash it into Renee-chan.

Kaul certainly didn't know what Duanmu Huai was thinking, he stared at Duanmu Huai and fell silent. But his flashing electronic eyes showed that the great sage was in deep thought at the moment.

Reject, accept, calculate the probability of action based on the target's actions and personality, and the possibility of using force to suppress the opponent when he or she suddenly rises...

The probability of suppression failure is 98%, and the probability of suppression success is less than 1%.

The conclusion has been drawn.

In the end, the great sage stared at Duanmu Huai and lowered his head silently.

"You are welcome to come with us."
