The Emperor’s Angel of Death

"It's so hot."

Hiding in the ruins, Loken and Dogo, who were preparing to sneak over and drag Rozim away, suddenly felt the entire space become stiflingly hot, and the air gradually solidified.

Suddenly, the decaying metal was torn open, and a group of things that were difficult to see with the naked eye rushed in. Their influence tore at the very fabric of spacetime. The bizarre accelerated motion around them altered the air composition of the hub hall, making it thick and even changing the structure of light, subtly shifting its hue toward the blue end of the spectrum.

The most palpable evidence of their existence was the heat; the entire hall suddenly became suffocating.

"Destroy them! Lots of cheese!"

Standing on the back of the Bonegrinder, Thanquol shook the corroded bronze bell in his hand, sending out waves of dull chimes that vibrated through the Warp. At this moment, his Bonegrinder machine seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation, becoming a jade statue formed entirely of ghostly green crystals. It lunged straight at the Keeper of Secrets, its long claws piercing towards the opponent.

The Keeper of Secrets snorted lightly and swung its long sword.

With two loud clangs, the Bonegrinder landed on the ground, but at this moment, another thing suddenly emerged from the breach. It had an extremely large body, almost as tall as the Keeper of Secrets, draped in a robe seemingly composed of countless fragments. Its exposed muscles bulged like hard rocks, and its outline resembled some kind of anthropomorphic rodent. At the same time, several clusters of slender and curved horns grew from its triangular head, and two more barbed tails appeared behind it. Some strange symbols were distributed on its jade-like skin, and its hands had sharp claws. Blade-like weapons similar to punch daggers were also installed on the back of its hands. The gray blades were surrounded by the unique power from the entropic force field, and those molten entropy seemed to flicker endlessly across countless points in time.

"Insignificant character. Rats should stay in their holes instead of coming out to embarrass themselves."

Lucius let out a contemptuous laugh, and then his massive body came before the strange behemoth like a breeze, slashing with his sword.

However, the opponent blocked the swords surrounding the deadly shadows with extreme speed, and then the flexible double tails suddenly lashed out, tearing apart the Great Demon's concealing veil, leaving a whip mark on its perfect body, which made the Keeper of Secrets furious and unable to maintain its elegance. It launched an even more fierce offensive in a fit of rage. The battle between the two behemoths in the hall made the entire space station seem to tremble.

But the Chaos Space Marines who were still alive below were miserable. A Plague Marine screamed for less than a second before collapsing, dust pouring out from the cracks in his armor.

The most mysterious Hrud, even to veterans of the Long War, were extremely unfamiliar opponents. The outlines of their forms were even difficult to see directly with the naked eye. All their actions were fleeting glimpses, swinging their long arms like phantasmal light passing through glass. All impressions were just fleeting afterimages pieced together—slender arms, dirty robes, and black eyes without eyelids.

And yet they were so deadly. Time and space twisted around them, as if the entropy from the beginning of the universe was something even Plague Marines could not resist. Moreover, they seemed to have the power to interfere with psychic abilities, but the deadliest thing was still their weapons. Streams of green phase plasma energy whistled through the air, their traces blurred, flickering and disappearing.

"Ah!"

A Noise Marine screamed as the unpredictable phase plasma pierced his armor, and a burst of blood and steam spurted out from it.

"Take the Company Champion! Retreat!"

The Plague Marines knew that the situation was hopeless, so they immediately grabbed Typhus from the ground and began to retreat, while Lucius was still staring at Rozim lying on the ground, his long sword eager for the enemy's head.

"No one can humiliate me—"

Just as Lucius was about to commit the crime, a twisted wall of light suddenly appeared in front of him. He immediately realized that something was blocking him, and he didn't know how many Hrud were among them. He wasn't even sure how many steps he could take.

He tried to take a step forward, and the next moment he heard the creaking of his armor. Looking down, the faces on his armor had all turned to ash, and even the armor itself began to rust.

Lucius took an annoyed deep breath, turned around, accelerated, and fled.

As for Eidolon?

He had already run away with his men the moment the Hrud appeared!

As the Chaos Space Marines quickly retreated, the temporal distortions created by the Hrud began to interfere with the material universe more and more strongly, even the Keeper of Secrets could not avoid it. Its movements became heavier and heavier, and its actions were no longer as elegant and swift as before.

Thanquol, who was besieging the Slaanesh Greater Daemon with the mysterious behemoth, then accelerated his offensive, manipulating the Bonegrinder to duck under the opponent's blade, and then violently shook the bronze bell. Then a beam of light rose from under the floor, overflowing upwards, becoming increasingly intense.

Enveloped in that strange twisted light, Liss'Osha painfully roared, and signs of collapse began to appear in his body.

The mysterious behemoth took the opportunity to fly towards the Slaanesh Daemon. With a flash of cold light, the punch dagger slashed into the opponent's chest, and pus gushed out. Liss'Osha screamed, more with anger than pain.

"Get your dirty hands off me!"

The Slaanesh Daemon raised his knife to slash at the opponent's head, but was blocked by the clusters of horns. Then the opponent used the punch dagger to deflect the daemon weapon, and smashed it into countless pieces of glass in the fierce collision. The evil power of the Warp seemed unable to exert any effect on this strange creature.

At this time, the Bonegrinder also jumped up, and the fists surrounded by the entropic force field slammed砰砰 on the enemy's unprotected back until it pressed its fists between the daemon's shoulder blades, pressing it to one knee.

Then, the behemoth's double tails strangled the daemon's neck from left and right, and the punch daggers of both arms waved across each other, and the Slaanesh Daemon's head flew up, and the body collapsed.

"Ugh—"

When Rozim opened his eyes, he saw the faces of Kren, Dogo, and Loken.

However, the three of them were in even worse shape than each other. Loken was covered in dust, Dogo had bruises all over his face, and Kren's entire face was black, as if he had been burned by fire.

"What's wrong with you guys? Like you've seen a ghost?"

Rozim noticed that the eyes of the three were strange, and then looked down at himself, and found that he was wearing a red robe.

"Who put this on me? Why does it look like I'm an electric monk..."

Then he looked around and immediately widened his eyes.

"Wow, what kind of barbecue party is this? Oh yeah, where are those Chaos Space Marines?"

After that, he noticed Thanquol was not far away, standing on the Bonegrinder's back, talking to a group of things huddled in dirty robes.

So he immediately wanted to stand up, but felt like all the bones in his body were falling apart.

"Ouch! Who beat me up... hiss, my ass seems to be a little sore, wait! Don't tell me those perverts who play SM gave me—"

At this time, Thanquol also ran over, and at this time he put on a unique mask on his face, like a pointed animal skull with six eyes.
