Warhammer 40 A New Hope

"Ah~ the air of the real world~"

Fallen Primarch - Lorgar Aurelion, Primarch of the Word Bearers Chapter

"Look at these fragile beliefs. They can't protect anything."

A blood-stained sculpture fragment was crushed by Lorgar, who was wearing power armor and had ascended to demon status. Behind him, the Word Bearers Space Marines walked out accompanied by various demons.

"I will prove that I am right. Humans need faith and gods, and the Chaos Gods are the beings that humans must believe in, father." Lorgar muttered to himself. "I will prove that you are wrong!"

In the distance, Archaon, who was organizing an attack, immediately ordered a retreat after noticing the successful opening of the rift and the arrival of the fallen primarch Lorgar.

"Great Dark Lord, why do we have to retreat? We will soon be able to..."

"Then do as I say." Archaon interrupted the servant in front of him, and his third eye lit up with an ominous light at this moment. "Our goal has been achieved..."

"So there's no need to continue wasting time on this planet."

"Before more corpse followers arrive, follow my orders! Let all our people retreat! Prepare to go to the next target!"

"Yes, great Dark Lord, I will obey your command." The servant responded respectfully. "Then, those enemies we captured, are they..."

"Release them." Archaon interrupted the servant again and said, "Tell them about Lorgar's existence, and then release them."

"Let them spread the news and let everyone know who is here and what happened..."

"This is all part of my plan!"

Terra Palace

It was rare that Lao Larou summoned Zhang Yi, since he was stabbed and separated from another emperor.

"So, why are you looking for me?" Zhang Yi said, looking at the emperor whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Remember Archaon?" the Emperor's voice echoed throughout the throne room. "His cunning was beyond my expectation."

"No matter what, he was the one who destroyed the world in the original time. If we don't handle it carefully, it will definitely fail."

"Facts have proven that he is indeed more threatening than Abaddon."

“I remember you said you would have someone deal with his problems.

"Yes, but based on the current situation, I think I would like to add an insurance policy."

"that?"

"Koz."

. . . . . .

Underground Palace

"Um..."

Zhang Yi fell silent as he looked at Curze, the Primarch of the Night Lords Chapter, who was staring at the old laptop in front of him.

Because he is watching a passionate anime right now...

As the Primarch of the Night Lords Chapter, Curze's reason for rebellion was actually quite funny - because he was afraid that he would be purged by the Emperor.

After all, the original Midnight Lords were known for their cruelty, and it was said that wherever they went, only ruins were left.

Because of his childhood experiences and the prophecies that he always saw that made him panic, Curze led himself and his chapter to this state. Among all the rebellious primarchs, he was the only one who chose to accept the fate of his own death (he voluntarily let himself be killed by the assassin, even though he had already discovered the assassin's arrival, because he wanted to prove that what he believed was that 'the future cannot be changed' was correct).

Curze's problems were largely due to the Emperor (blame +1). He had long seen Curze's problems, but at that time the Emperor was busy with the Great Crusade and did not spend time and energy dealing with his son's psychological problems - this led to a series of subsequent problems.

Just as Zhang Yi guessed, after Koze's death, his soul has always been in the hands of the Emperor. The "thin figure" that was spotted from time to time in the palace was him.

Now, the current situation of the Empire has made the Emperor decide to resurrect Curze and let him help Guilliman and others.

But before that, he needs to do something he should have done a long time ago...

After watching dozens of hot-blooded anime, Koz felt like his IQ was being rubbed to the ground.

Because the tone of some hot-blooded animations is to believe in yourself, friends, or something else, and then break the so-called fate or predetermined future, which is completely opposite to what Koz believes.

In particular, with the special existence of Zhang Yi, all these stories that were originally just fantasies or books have become reality - and the mere existence of Zhang Yi itself has broken everything that Koz believed to be correct.

Curze, who was given a new body, has been talking to the Emperor recently, then watching anime, and then talking to the Emperor again, and the cycle continues (Emperor: Didn’t you say that I ignore you, don’t care about you, and are afraid that I will deal with you? Come, chat with me until you get annoyed).

Now Koz no longer believes that prophecies are unchangeable. The anime protagonists have completely shattered his perception of this, very thoroughly.

When Zhang Yi found Koz under the leadership of the Imperial Guards, he immediately turned his head and looked at Zhang Yi.

"Are you... okay?" Looking at the pale face looking at him, Zhang Yi couldn't help but move back.

"Tell me what my father wants me to do."

"?"

"Also, don't let me look at these things anymore, and don't ask me to open the door and let me go over and take a look..."

"Is it okay if I'm wrong?"

"..."

Zhang Yi really wanted to know what the Emperor had done to Curze to make him like this...

286. Plague Prevention and Control (XI)

Archaon's goal was to complete his plan of disrupting the empire and weakening it. In his plan, nothing could be sacrificed as long as it was beneficial to his plan.

He deduced that the Primarch of the Raven Guard might lead a team to stop him, so he worked with Lorgar to help him get to the real world.

The reason he did this was simply to use Lorgar to hold Corax back, and he did succeed.

Therefore, the Emperor resurrected Curze and ordered him to lead his offspring to besiege Archaon after Corax was delayed.

Of course, in order to help Curze get rid of his long-standing problems, the Emperor took some drastic measures - although it was a bit too much, it was very effective.

Today, the Space Marines of the Midnight Lords Chapter are scattered throughout the galaxy. Some have joined Chaos, while others, like Maxim Petrovich (the Space Marine who went to the world of 2077 with Zhang Yi), have chosen to save humanity in their own way.

Regarding the current situation, Koze asked Zhang Yi to find a way to contact his descendants, while he himself would go ahead with a small force to hunt down Archaon - according to him, he didn't want to stay in Terra any longer.

Before he left, the Emperor stopped him and said to Curze: "Remember, this time, you did the right thing."

"...I see..."

Curze walked into Zhang Yi's portal, left Terra, and went to a planet that was caught in Chaos attack because of Archaon.

"If you had dealt with the problem of Koze earlier, he wouldn't have ended up like this." Zhang Yi said to the emperor.

"It's not too late now..." said the Emperor on the Golden Throne. "It's just right, you can transport another group of imperial guards."

"I remember you asked me to transport a large group of imperial guards away before? Do you want to continue?"

"According to my plan, I don't need so many people to accompany me." The Emperor said. "By the way..."

"By the way?"

"Send them away."

(BGM: Awake~)

Along with something that made people's anus tighten, dozens of naked imperial guards appeared in front of Zhang Yi and the emperor with a posture that Zhang Yi was very familiar with.

"What the hell?!" Zhang Yi took a few steps back as he looked at these 'unique' imperial guards. "So many?"

"I would rather face those four bastards of the Warp alone than die with these Custodes." (Emperor)

"I don't want to either!"

"Oh~ My dear emperor, you make me so sad~"

"We are willing to fight Holy Terra until the last moment, and we are also willing to take care of your noble body~"

"Speaking of maintenance, your sacred body should also be..."

Bang－－!

A huge psychic palm knocked the group of unarmored imperial guards to the ground.

"Now! Immediately! Immediately! Get out of my sight! Get out of this world!!!" (Emperor)

"Go and harm the other me! Don't let me see you again!!!"

. . . . . .

Monster Hunter World

"... As expected of me..." The separated emperor looked at the imperial guards posing in front of him, and his blood pressure rose. "Even my own pit..."

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Kakko

Archaon and his troops had already left the planet, and Lorgar, who had been summoned, already knew this.

At this stage he didn't think much about why Archaon was in such a hurry to leave, nor did he think much about it - he thought he had more important things to accomplish.

In the largest cathedral on the planet, a large number of Word Bearers Space Marines were surrounding a large number of ordinary people of the Empire and forcing them to pray - to pray to the Emperor, asking the Emperor to save them.

However, even though he was the most pious and dedicated everything he had to the Imperial State Religion and to the believers of the Empire, his prayers did not bring help from the Emperor.

Bang--!

The scepter with the power of decomposition smashed the head of another Emperor's believer, causing many people present to panic.

"The Emperor can't save anyone!" The former Ecclesiastic nun, whose body was stained black by an unknown substance, stood beside the Word Bearer and said, "I served that rotten corpse for my whole life, and what did I get?!"

"He didn't bless me, nor did he bless my lover!"

"No matter how I pray! No matter how I beg! He doesn't answer!"

At this moment, a deformed humanoid creature limped to the side of the nun, his eyes having lost their luster.

"It's the Chaos God! He answered my prayers! He resurrected my love!"

"And that rotten corpse, he did nothing!"

"God blesses believers, and loves them without distinction; or pities believers, and loves them with piety; believers whose fate is determined by their faith, respect and love the truth; anointed believers, always worship our God!"

"Faith in that rotten corpse is useless! The Four Gods are our salvation!"

Lorgar, the Primarch of the Word Bearers, was very satisfied with everything he saw. For him, what could be more exciting than changing the faith of the Empire's believers?

Just as he had always pursued, he wanted to prove that the Emperor was wrong, both what he said and his destruction of the [Perfect City] were wrong.

Human beings need faith, need gods, and even more so, they need the Four Gods of Chaos.

"You are all wrong..."

"I am right!"

At this moment, under the coercion and inducement of the Imperial Sister who had changed her faith and the Word Bearers Space Marine, almost everyone present, whether sincere or pretending, began to pray to the Four Gods, and some even received responses on the spot.

Among these cognitions, there was a white-haired old man who was still lying on the ground, praising the emperor's name.

As the only "oddball" among all the people present, he naturally attracted the attention of almost everyone, and Lorgar, who had already ascended to a demon, also discovered him.

"When your wife died of illness, the Emperor did not respond to you; when your son died in battle, the Emperor did not respond to you; when you hid in the shelter, praying not to be discovered, the Emperor still did not respond to you..."

Luo Jia slowly walked up to the old man and spoke word by word.

"Why do you still believe in the corpse of a dead person?"

"...My wife is just an ordinary person, and she is old. Birth, aging, illness and death are the norm for mortals..."

"...My son volunteered to sacrifice his life for the Empire. When he set foot on the battlefield to fight evil, he put life and death aside..."

"...I never prayed not to be discovered. I only prayed that the Emperor would have no mercy on me and destroy me and the fallen..."

Having said this, the old man raised his head and looked at the Word Bearers Space Marine who was extremely tall compared to him, and the even taller Lorgar.

"No matter what you want to do, you will never succeed!"

bite--!

The hammer in the hands of a Word Bearer flashed red light, but was stopped by Lorgar.

"The pious one, your persistence deserves praise." Lorgar squatted in front of the old man with a smile on his face.

But the next second, he grabbed the man's neck and lifted him up.
