266. The 'Northern' Front (V)

The battle between DOOM and Angron almost turned the surrounding area into a no-man's land. No matter whether it was the Astra Militarum, Space Marines or ordinary demons, the result of approaching this area would be to be torn to pieces - neither Angron nor DOOM were good guys.

Since the start of the battle, the situation has remained basically even, with neither side being able to inflict heavy damage on the other for a while, but one thing is very clear - the ascended demon Angron is constantly adapting to DOOM's attack.

Khorne is determined to capture DOOM, who killed the God of Creation in his world. This means that Angron, who is most likely to defeat and capture DOOM now, has power that surpasses most of the Primarchs.

Although DOOM has been killing demons in the webway to restore his strength during this period, his strength has only recovered to the level of a top-level Primarch. If he continues like this, the situation will be unfavorable for him.

"Face me! Coward!"

Angron swept the giant sword in his hand, setting the ground on fire, but DOOM dodged it by jumping back and opened fire with the railgun in his hand!

boom--!

The electromagnetically accelerated shell hit the target right in the chest, but did not cause much damage to Angron, who charged at him once again.

"then!"

Fake: The Gun That Pierces Death (Gáe Bolg Alternative)!

At this moment, a scarlet spear was thrown to DOOM. He grabbed the weapon and stabbed Angron with his backhand!

"Well--!"

Angron, who had shown no change in expression despite being bombarded by various heavy weapons, showed a trace of pain for the first time, but soon he let out an angry roar and the spear broke.

Judging from Angron’s performance when he was injured just now, these counterfeits made by the Heroic Spirit Shirou Emiya under the guidance of the original Noble Phantasm holder can still exert a certain power even after being weakened twice.

The Death Shooting Spear with the "Divine Special Attack" had undoubtedly caused a certain amount of deep damage to Angron in the previous attack, although it was probably only a little.

Boom--!

A golden beam of light appeared, pushing the huge Angron back a long distance. At the same time, the fake holy sword in DOM's hand turned into powder after this blow.

"next."

DOM reached out his hand towards Zhang Yi again. He had to admit that these strange weapons gave him a lot of help.

Two weapons were thrown to the [Demon Slayer] at the same time, a dagger with a somewhat strange shape and a huge axe that seemed to be made of stone.

The big difference between the two treasures made DOM stunned for a moment, especially the dagger. Even through his helmet, Zhang Yi could guess that he wanted to ask himself, "What can this little thing do? Give the devil a pedicure?"

But the enemy did not give him too much time to think. This time, Angron rushed over directly and pushed forward with DOM.

In a hurry, DOM grabbed the dagger and stabbed it hard towards Angron's shoulder. Then, unexpectedly, a huge explosion occurred, which directly stopped Angron. DOM also exploded and distanced itself from the enemy in front of it.

The fake Rule Breaker, a weapon that originated from Medea and was specifically designed to target magic and contracts, successfully hit Angron, shrinking his size and weakening his aura.

The dagger's unexpected effect made both parties stunned for a moment. DOM was the first to react. He grabbed the huge axe with both hands and rushed towards Angron who was still a little unresponsive.

Fake: Shooting Hundred Heads (Nine Lives)!

boom!

The direct blow was blocked by Angron's horizontal giant sword, but the next moment, nine beams of light shot out and directly hit various parts of Angron's body.

Although the attack was not fatal, the sudden attack still distracted Angron for a moment, and his hand holding the sword loosened. Seeing this, DOM immediately swung the ferocious axe in his hand again, knocking away the giant sword that was bigger than his own, and then swung it down towards Angron's head.

Snap--!

The weapon in DOM's hand broke, and Angron fell to the ground because of this heavy blow. At this moment, the last fake treasure was thrown to DOM.

Fake Erukidu!

This fake Noble Phantasm, which has a very strong restraining ability against divine beings, was the last fake Noble Phantasm that Zhang Yi and others allowed a certain Gold Pekka to make with the help of Enkidu, through coercion and inducement (Red A fell to the ground after it was made...).

In the Type-Moon world, even when facing a being at the level of a creator god, it can be restrained for a period of time. Here, Zhang Yi does not ask it to be able to completely restrain Angron, as long as it can be controlled temporarily.

Doom, who took the Heavenly Chain, immediately passed the golden chain around Angron's armpits and neck, and finally stood on his back while tightening the chain in his hand.

"If you need to do something, hurry up!" DOM ​​said. "This 'dog chain' won't last long!"

Visible to the naked eye, the fake Heaven's Chain that emitted a faint golden glow did suppress the violent Angron to a certain extent. However, the red aura emanating from his body was also rapidly infecting the chains that blocked his movements.

"Shakespeare! Stop pretending to be dead! It's your turn!" Zhang Yi opened the portal and shouted into it.

"So why did I take on this fateful mission?" Shakespeare, sweating profusely, hurriedly flipped open the script in his hand and took a deep breath. "It's time to start the performance. Let's give a thunderous applause (First Folio)!"

The moment this servant with little combat power released his Noble Phantasm and covered Angron, he suddenly stopped struggling.

"It's OK for now." Zhang Yi looked at Angron who had calmed down and said, "I hope it can go according to plan..."

At this time, Zhang Yi raised his head and looked towards the sky above the planet where a fierce battle was taking place.

"I hope the old man can hold on for a while longer..."

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

With the appearance of DOM and the appearance of Zhang Yi to help DOM, this series of actions has attracted the attention of Khorne. If the Emperor had not blocked this violent god, he might have descended now relying on Angron's body.

This delay is only temporary. The other three gods have already looked over here. Zhang Yi and his team's plan must be completed before then, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

Shakespeare's Noble Phantasm - The Show Is Now, Give Thunderous Applause (First Folio) is a special Noble Phantasm that can test the soul. In his own world, this Noble Phantasm, which seems to have little offensive power, also has a good record.

Even a hero who has experienced many battles may still have things in his heart that he cannot forget or let go of.

Herachorus, who killed his wife and children with his own hands; he was called the monster Frankenstein by his creator; Jason, who was betrayed by his wife...

Zhang Yi's plan is to use his treasure to awaken the rational side of Angron's heart and prompt him to resist in order to delay Khorne's offensive.

As mentioned before, although Angron's rational side has been suppressed for various reasons, it is not non-existent.

Since there is hope, there is hope.

. . . . . .

Angron's Inner World

Slave Arena - This is where Angron, the Primarch, lived until he was found by the Emperor.

Of the Primarchs taken from Terra by the Chaos Gods and scattered across the galaxy, Angron had the most troubled history.

He first fought back and killed the Eldar who tried to strangle him in the cradle, and then he was captured by the locals and sent to the arena.

Afterwards, Angron was forcibly implanted with the Butcher's Nail, and because of this thing, he became the only Primarch who failed to unify his planet.

Later, when Angron was in danger, the Emperor took him away. However, the Emperor at that time did not help the gladiator brothers who revolted with him. Angron could only watch them being killed - this has always been a grudge in his heart.

(It is said that the enraged Angron even killed a guard of the emperor despite the Emperor's obstruction)

And now, in this arena that he was very familiar with, several figures were surrounding a tall, blood-red figure.

"You gave up on us."

"We trusted you so much, we responded to your call, but what did you do?!"

"You watched us get slaughtered!"

"Shut up!" Symbolizing Angron's uncontrollable desire for killing for various reasons and the power of Khorne that was integrated with this part, he roared and waved his huge arms, trying to kill all these people.

But the part that represented Angron was stopping himself - you know, even though Angron was equipped with the "Butcher's Nail" and became irritable, he did not kill his fellow gladiators.

"Angron."

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded, and an old man who looked a little thin stepped over the crowd surrounding him and came to Angron.

"Father...Father?"

"Angron." Angron's adoptive father, who was also a senior member of the arena, stood in front of him and said to him, "I told you that you must get rid of your slavery and live freely..."

"But what's the difference between you and a slave now?"

"No--!"

Angron grabbed the old man in front of him with one hand and lifted him up, almost yelling at him.

"I am not a slave! I am the strongest under Khorne! I am..."

"You used to be the strongest gladiator here," his adoptive father said. "But you are still a slave."

Sometimes words are the deadliest of swords. Angron let go of the man in his hand, kept backing away, and finally knelt on the ground.

The images of those former gladiator brothers and sisters before him began to change, becoming what he said he saw when they were killed.

"traitor!"

"traitor!"

"A slave of the 'big' slave master!"

"I'm not! I..."

Angron could not refute and could only struggle holding his head. His huge body, a symbol of power, was gradually shrinking. Khorne's control was also weakening, and he gradually became the size of an ordinary Primarch.

Then, the surrounding scene suddenly disappeared and turned into darkness.

"...That's right." Angron suddenly said. "I couldn't save them. I..."

"A slave from beginning to end..."

"...I'm so sorry, Angron..."

At this moment, a soft light illuminated the surrounding darkness, and the shadow of Angron's other father appeared beside him.

"Father?"

267. The 'Northern' Front (VI)

subspace

The sharp and fast-spinning chainsaw axe of Khorne was now stained with a layer of golden blood, while on the other side, a wound on the body of the Lord of Mankind, the Emperor, was slowly healing.

[Are you insulting me? ! Corpse King!] Khorne's voice echoed in the area [Do your best! Fight me!]

[I will not allow you to be distracted while fighting me!] (Khorne)

Yes, the Emperor had just been wounded by Khorne, and although the wound was not serious and would heal quickly, Khorne had indeed hurt him.

The reason why the Emperor was injured was...

[I have more important things to do, kobold.] The Emperor's voice echoed throughout the area.

[Nothing is more important than killing each other!]

Khorne roared and swung the chainsaw axe in his hand towards the opponent again. In response, the Emperor held up the greatsword burning with golden flames in his hand to block it.

From the very beginning, the Emperor changed his offensive strategy and began to focus on defense, no longer actively attacking Khorne.

Because, as he said, he has more important things to do now

. . . . . .

"Father? How could you..."

"It's been a long time since I last saw you, Angron."

The familiar figure of the Emperor that suddenly appeared in his consciousness surprised Angron's rational side, who had regained the initiative because of what had just happened.

"...I am truly sorry," the Emperor repeated. "For the mistakes I made toward you..."

"For the harm I have done to you..."

Angron could not help but be stunned by the Emperor's apology, because in his impression, or in the impression of all the previous Primarchs, the Emperor seemed to never admit that he was wrong.

"I have no right to ask you to do anything, but..." The Emperor placed his hand on the shoulder of the man who represented Angron's rational personality, and a golden light flowed into his body. "Please help the Empire once again, my son!"

"Today's empire needs your persistence and needs you to control yourself."

"...even now, you are still..."

"I beg you, my child," the Emperor interrupted Angron. "I know I have no right to ask anything more of you, but..."

"Not for me, but for the sake of humanity now. I ask you to at least stay away from the empire during the time you can control yourself, and buy time for humanity and your brothers!"
