Warhammer 40 A New Hope

"Please..."

When the last sentence was spoken, the Emperor's figure had completely transformed into golden ripples, which were injected into Angron's body, the symbol of reason.

"...You have changed a lot, father..."

. . . . . .

Click!

The fake Heaven's Chain finally broke into pieces. The huge Angron suddenly stood up and dropped the DOM on his body.

But then, this powerful ascended demon primarch did not launch another fierce attack on DOM, but covered his head and began to roar in pain.

"Exile me!" Angron roared. "While I can still control myself!"

"quick!"

DOM did not think too much about this. He ejected the blade on his arm that had once killed the God of Creation, and leaped towards Angron who was struggling in pain.

Seeing the DOM-enhanced Angron approaching him, he opened his arms in that direction.

puff!

The sharp blade pierced his chest, and a huge roar was heard, almost echoing throughout the entire planet.

"I will not, give up, resist..."

"If I really lose control again..."

"Take everything from me, powerful warrior from another world..."

The huge scarlet body began to burn, and the defeated Angron was banished back to the Warp.

Because of the intervention of the Emperor's power, Angron's sanity temporarily prevailed and he gained a certain degree of control over his body.

This means that, at least in the short term, he will stay away from the battlefield and buy as much time as possible for the empire.

At the same time, due to the characteristics of DOM, part of the power originating from Khorne was extracted from Angron and absorbed by DOM, making him even more powerful.

"Angron has been defeated and will not be able to return for a short time." Zhang Yi said. "A large number of demons are approaching here..."

"Would you like to go someplace safe with me to fix it up?"

DOM did not respond to Zhang Yi's proposal, but silently took out his assault rifle and loaded it.

"The demons are gathering here? That's great." DOM ​​said. "It saves me from having to go look for them!"

To others, hordes of demons might be a nuisance, but to DOM...

That's really good!

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

With the help of the Emperor, DOM successfully defeated Angron and banished him back to the Warp.

At the same time, Khorne, having almost completely forgotten his original plan, was sending more and more troops to several bait planets.

Just when Zhang Yi and others thought they had successfully stabilized the "Northern" front, bad news came from the Eldar.

Another chaotic mixed fleet is breaking through their defenses bit by bit!

. . . . . .

The mixed fleet of the Eldar and the Human Empire is blocking a Chaos ship and the fleet it leads that they have never seen before.

The Black Throne is a Chaos Battleship, one of the very few brand new ships ever built by the Dark Mechanicus, and now serves a new Chaos Lord.

[The Four Gods of the Past] - Archaon

At this moment, this brand new Chaos battleship was using its adamantium ram at an astonishing speed to ram and sink a small Eldar ship that was blocking its way, and it continued to move forward at high speed without stopping.

"Lord Archaon, we have been separated from the main force. Should we..."

"Keep moving forward. After escaping the enemy's pursuit and passing through the enemy's defenses, we will enter the warp." Sitting on the throne decorated with human skulls, Archaon supported his head with one hand and said, "Those troops are irrelevant..."

"They have completed their mission..."

"Yes, my lord!"

Although Archaon was a strange existence to the believers in the 40K Warp, this unknown existence soon convinced a large number of Chaos believers and Space Marines with his power, wisdom and personal charm.

So much so that some people believe that he is more qualified to lead many warbands than the current [Warmaster] Abaddon.

(Abaddon was very angry about this, but the Chaos Gods clearly warned him not to meet or fight Archaon)

"Drive our ships right in front of the enemy's flagship. Even if our ships are destroyed here and we all die in the universe far away from the empire's territory, we must stop him!"

At this time, a Overlord-class battlecruiser named Blue Noble crossed its hull and blocked the front of the Black Throne, trying to use this method to stop the enemy flagship that was about to break through the defense line.

Macrocannons and lances opened fire, and Archaon's vehicle began to return fire, but the Black Throne did not slow down from beginning to end.

"Adjust the ship's attitude and ram it." Archaon said, still sitting firmly on the throne. "Begin warming up the warp engine, and target the nearest inhabited planet within the human empire."

"Yes!"

The exchange of fire between the rapidly advancing Black Throne and Blue Noble did not last for a few rounds. The red and black Black Throne directly hit the bow of the Blue Noble, knocking it aside, and then continued to move forward, ignoring all damage and attacks.

"Energy pipeline damaged! Engine power is decreasing!"

"The armor has been severely damaged! The torpedo tubes have been destroyed!"

"The enemy did not slow down and ignored our attacks, still advancing!"

"Subspace fluctuations detected, we can't intercept!"

"Get the assault troops ready and launch a [Lightning Strike]. We must stop him!"

"Commissar Tass! We don't have any Astartes on board. It's impossible to do so with just a few commandos..."

"Even so, we cannot watch the chaotic enemy escape from under our noses! I will lead the team myself! Get ready immediately!"

Just as Archaon's vehicle was about to enter the warp, the countless luminous spears of the Blue Noble finally pierced through the void shield of the Black Throne. Hundreds of elite mortal commandos, led by the political commissar who became Tass, boarded Archaon's ship through the teleportation device at that moment.

The next moment, the Black Throne entered the subspace.

"Powerful Chaos Lord, we have successfully escaped the enemy's blockade and entered the warp, but some ignorant corpse followers have boarded our ship." A psychic who had undergone a serious mutation walked in front of Archaon, kneeling down and reporting. "Several teams of Space Marines have gone to wipe out these ignorant corpse followers, and they will soon be able to..."

"Don't kill them all," Archaon said. "Leave some alive."

"We also need these strong and fearless warriors, just as they are willing to believe in the true gods."

"Follow your will."

The psyker retreated, but Archaon remained seated on the throne of the author's ship, silent for a long time.

"Humph~"

Archaon suddenly sneered, then spoke slowly.

"What a bad taste..."

268. Slaanesh Carnival (I)

Squeak--whoosh!

The [Black Throne] left the warp, and a prosperous planet appeared right in front of the ship.

"We have arrived near the target planet. The defense here is almost equivalent to nothing for our ships." The captain of the Black Throne said. "We will soon be able to defeat the fragile fleet and orbital defense system here, and then carry out our plan..."

"Mighty Chaos leader, what shall we do with those corpse followers who boarded our ships and were unwilling to join us? Shall we sacrifice them all?"

"No, put them back." Archaon said. "It's boring to attack without any hindrance..."

"Give them a little hope, and then..."

"I will crush it with my own hands!"

. . . . . .

The arrival of an escape ship brought bad news of Chaos' coming.

Soon after, a powerful cursed ship destroyed the Imperial Navy fleet near the planet Hamil I and its fragile orbital defense system with ease.

The followers of Chaos attacked the orbital station and took it over.

It was a massacre. Under the attack of the Space Marines led by Archaon, the local PDF (Planetary Defense Force) and the small number of Astra Militarum troops stationed here were simply unable to resist.

The airport fell in just eight hours, and the defenders were completely wiped out by the enemy before they even had time to detonate the bomb.

The tall but brainless Ogryn was cut in two by the [King's Sword (Power)] in Archaon's hand. The powerful Space Marines from different warbands around him also cleaned up their respective enemies.

"Sir, our priest needs enough corpse followers to prepare for the ceremony." A Space Marine from the Iron Warriors beside him said. "But the defenders here have already set up a defense line..."

"Defense line?"

At this moment, as Archaon swung the power sword in his hand, a chaos rift appeared in the air and gradually expanded until a huge demon dragon flew out of it.

"We will push their pathetic defenses! Everything will be destroyed!"

"No one can stop me!"

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

"Attack! Attack! We can't let them..."

Squeak--buzz!

The [Noise Marine] from the [Emperor's Children] used the noise weapons in his hands to blow open the heads of all the defenders in the position in front of him from the inside. The scene of blood and brain matter splattering everywhere made this Chaos Space Marine who believed in Slaanesh very enjoyable.

In the sky, a giant black dragon was flying in the air like the god of death. While destroying all aerial vehicles, it occasionally spewed black flames towards the ground.

The defenders near the airport are being quickly annihilated. Even though the defenders here are ready to die, they are still unable to resist the aggressive enemy - the gap between the two sides is too big.

"They are collecting sacrifices. They are taking away all the living people!" The local defense division commander in the command room said insanely. "We must kill those civilians who didn't have time to evacuate. We can't let them become the enemy's strength!"

"You can't do this! They are all the Emperor's people. We have evacuated them to a place farther away from the battlefield!"

Commissar Tass, who was still under custody, tried to refute his idea with righteous words, but after being released by Archaon, it was obvious that he lacked persuasiveness.

"Guards! Take this suspected corrupt away!" the officer said. "You are not qualified to question me! Your loyalty is still questionable! Commissar!"

"you!"

At this moment, a tall man suddenly walked in, and behind him followed the Ecclesiarchy priest holding the banner of the Emperor's holy relic and two guards.

It's Fugen.

"In the name of the Emperor, I will take command here," Fulgrim said. "Now, do as I say!"

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

"Are they actively attacking?" said Archaon after listening to his men's report.

"Yes, Lord Archaon, one of our Space Marine squadrons was destroyed, and the enemy is using that place as an attack point and is approaching here..."

"We have already dispatched soldiers from other areas to provide support there. We should be able to quickly deal with these ignorant corpse believers. However, to be on the safe side, I still think it is necessary to report to you."

"Did you see clearly who the enemy is?"

"According to the people who escaped, it was an elite mortal army with complete equipment, and at least three enemy Space Marines."

"...How are the preparations for the ceremony going?"

"The last batch of sacrifices is on the way, and will be available soon..."

"Kill a bunch of insignificant believers to speed up the ritual." Archaon interrupted him. "Quickly collect all the necessary supplies that can be found in the occupied areas and preheat the engine..."

"After we lead the group of 'lost' guys, we will leave."

Having said that, Archaon stood up and picked up his power sword.

"Before that, I will bring despair to those guys!"

. . . . . .

"Attack! Keep attacking! Give our lives for the Empire!"

The elite Astra Militarum troops, all armored, under the cover of a Leman Rust tank that used an ion cannon as its main gun, and the assault force led by Commissar Tass, were suppressing the Chaos Cultists on the opposite side.

Commissar Tass, who was originally under suspicion and surveillance because he was captured alive by Chaos and then released, returned to the battlefield under the guarantee of his original body Fulgrim (a replica).

As a price, he needed to join the assault force as bait to attract enough attention for the decapitation of the two imperial guards and Fulgrim.

Although this planet and Fulgrim provided their troops with a lot of powerful equipment in order to make them look truly threatening, Commissar Tass knew very well that even so, their troops were still extremely vulnerable when facing multiple enemy Space Marines.
