Warhammer 40 A New Hope

Among them, the one that suffered the most attacks and sank the most enemy ships was... a living planet.

It is true that Nurgle's living planet was destroyed, but when the Khorne Hero Cohen was fighting with the Nurgle Hero Luke, he cut off a "petal" - the petal that was floating in the universe was found.

This time, the living planet was not only enveloped by Nurgle's power, but also infused with the power of the other three gods (the four gods promised to destroy the planet after destroying Terra to prevent it from being used against any of them).

A planet-sized enemy would have enormous destructive power for the entire Terra defenders. Even with the most primitive impact, few ships could withstand it - not to mention that this living planet is capable of more than just a single attack.

The moon, the natural satellite of Terra, has now been shattered because of the living planet. Countless pieces of the planet have become the most deadly "shells", causing a devastating blow to Terra's defense system.

When the Chaos forces once again set foot on the holy land of Terra, they found...

Terra, it's raining.

Terra, which had long lost its oceans and atmosphere, was now raining heavily, like a miracle.

Although this so-called 'miracle' is not appropriate.

The Phalanx, which was originally stationed in orbit, is now leading a small force to evacuate out of the solar system, and a large number of Chaos troops are chasing them.

All space defenses were breached, and just like during the Heresy, Terra's "sky" was once again occupied by Chaos.

There were many Imperial Astra Militarum and Space Marines defending Terra, including many veterans who had experienced a major rebellion, and even a small group of dwarf troops wearing power armor.

It seemed that the Emperor had put everything on his shoulders, but in the face of the Four Chaos Gods who spared no expense, all these efforts seemed like a drop in the bucket.

The Ultramarines' Honor Guards used their superb skills to kill Chaos Space Marines one after another, but soon more enemies came up; the heavy bolters with red muzzles kept shooting at the crazed Chaos believers, but the fearless enemies still rushed towards them...

The two dwarf teams wearing power armor, their high-tech weapons and equipment, powerful combat effectiveness, and the ability to suppress the warp allowed them to defeat an army led by a great demon without even suffering any damage. However, the drop pods falling from the sky and the great demons rushing out of the warp gates one after another made everything they did seem so powerless.

Chaos has always had the ability to destroy humanity, but they just don't want to - they don't want to make themselves so embarrassed. After all, the Emperor is a ruthless character, and they don't want to lose a "fun (human)" like this.

But this time it was different...

One Imperial army after another was destroyed, annihilated, or perished together with the Chaos forces that attacked them...

But there seemed to be no end to the number of enemies - they were getting weaker, but before they got weak enough, they (the Imperial forces) would be destroyed first.

In the heavy rain, the imperial troops kept retreating until they reached the huge imperial palace.

brush--!

A Custodian who was consumed by several Chaos Space Marines and Warp Daemons was slain by Abaddon, his body devoured by the Daemons behind him.

Just as Abaddon had declared three days ago, he became the first Chaos force to set foot into this sacred palace.

"I can feel it! I can feel it!" Abaddon walked past the body of the guard and said as he looked at the magnificent palace in front of him. "False Emperor! That corpse is getting weaker!"

"The power of the Four Gods is growing stronger, and the power of the corpses is being consumed and suppressed!"

"I will destroy this rotten empire, I will tear off the head of that rotten corpse, I will..."

"Are you going to kill me too?"

"?!"

Abaddon was startled by the sudden sound and he immediately distanced himself from the direction where the sound came from. At the same time, a tall figure appeared in front of him.

"How... is it possible?!"

That is Horus, before he was controlled by the four gods.

"Impossible!" Abaddon was a little bit unable to accept it. "I know, you are just an illusion! A pathetic fake that the false emperor used to deceive me!"

"You are right." Horus responded without any excuse. "Then what are you?"

"I?"

"My successor? Or a clown who has been deceived, kept in the dark, and deceived himself?"

"you!"

"Do you really know the truth about the Great Heresy? Do you really know why I betrayed the Empire? Do you really know the truth behind this whole incident?"

"You...you, a fake, what qualifications do you have to say this?!"

Abaddon felt something was wrong. He had killed the 'false Horus' - the Emperor's Children had stolen the body of the Warmaster Horus himself and, with the help of Fabius Bile, had created some clones of Horus. Abaddon destroyed these clones himself and said that he was not the son of Horus.

However, he was unable to kill the 'Horus' in front of him, who admitted that he was an illusion, as he had done before.

"You have no idea what you are doing." Horus said. "You also have no idea of ​​the purpose of the Chaos God..."

"You..." (Abaddon)

boom!boom!boom!boom!

At this moment, several explosive bombs flew from behind Abaddon and hit Horus accurately, and the illusion began to disappear.

"If you really think you are my successor, then do the right thing..."

"If you still think you are my descendant..."

The illusion of Horus completely disappeared, and several Chaos Space Marines from the Black Legion came to Abaddon.

"Warmaster..."

"I... am not your descendant!" Abaddon gritted his teeth and said, "Continue the attack! Destroy this planet! Kill the false emperor!"

"The human empire will end here!"

. . . . . .

The vibration is getting closer and closer, and more and more obvious.

At this time, there were dozens of imperial guards who had gathered near the Golden Throne, but now there were only a few of them.

The four evil gods' efforts and attacks at all costs gave way to a webway rift under the Golden Throne, where demons and warp forces began to wreak havoc.

In order to prevent the demons from appearing directly in the palace, and to prevent the power of the four evil gods from spreading further and causing more serious consequences, the Emperor had to take back his own power to fight against them. At the same time, a part of the Imperial Guards and Sisters of Silence also entered the Webway to intercept the demons.

As mentioned before, the Emperor seems to have put everything on the line, including a large number of Astra Militarum legions, Space Marines from different chapters, Custodians, Sisters of Silence, Inquisitors...

Even dwarves, some undead creatures with high-tech creatures (Tomb Kings), a big toad (Magic Toad)...

Some Space Marine Sub-Regions had already lost all their members on this battlefield, the Tomb King's army of the dead was overwhelmed in numbers, the Toad Priests exhausted their mental strength and eventually burned their bodies to block a large number of demons.

Sacrifices occurred everywhere, but a slight victory could not change the overall situation of the war. The gap between the two sides was too great...

The Emperor's power is weakening, while the Four Gods are attacking more and more aggressively, tearing open cracks in reality one after another, insulting, killing and transforming loyal imperial soldiers...

It seemed that there would be no more surprises, and the four gods slowly let down their guard. They thought that they only needed to be careful about the final counterattack of this skeleton (pushing Tzeentch out), regardless of the cost and paying a lot, even if they would be weak for a period of time in the future - it was all worth it, they had already won.

It seems... everything is just going so naturally...

314. Terra's Tragedy (Part )

Terra Ground

The hometown of mankind in the 40K universe, the birthplace of mankind, the cradle of mankind, is now once again set foot by chaos.

In the sky, the broken moon was very clear, and so was the living planet that was "feasting".

A Khorne Space Marine charged into an Astra Militarum position and tore the weak mortal soldiers into pieces like a meat grinder.

Ordinary people are simply no match for Space Marines. Even if the opponent is a Khorne Space Marine with little sense, the huge difference in physical fitness can still crush everyone on the battlefield.

The laser rifle beam that could directly ignite an ordinary person was like a 'flashlight' to the enemy Space Marine, and it could hardly cause much effective damage.

The chainsaw axe roared, and every swing brought out a string of blood and flesh, and added a fresh corpse.

boom! boom! boom!

Three small-caliber bolter rounds struck the Khorne Space Marine, interrupting his killing spree but also drawing the other side's attention.

The few remaining Astra Militarum soldiers gathered around a political commissar and, under the leadership of the commissar, fired at the enemy.

The simultaneous firing of several laser rifles finally shook the enemy, and in response, the Khorne Space Marine let out a roar and rushed towards the survivors like a cannonball.

The political commissar who tried to engage in close combat had his chainsword broken by the opponent, and the high-speed rotating chainsaw axe directly split it diagonally in two.

Seeing this, the Astra Militarum did not flee. Instead, they shouted and stabbed the tall Chaos Space Marine with the bayonets on their laser rifles.

Most of the attacks were blocked by the opponent's power armor. Only two monomolecular bayonets penetrated the gaps in the enemy's armor, but that was all.

The enraged Khorne Space Marine, armed with a chainsaw axe, easily killed those mortals who dared to attack it, just as it killed others.

In just a few dozen minutes, there was no other living person in the position except him.

Several broken bayonets were still stuck in his body, and just as he was about to pull them out, he heard a sound after calming down a little.

Like, ticking?

"Our sacrifice... is not in vain..." The remaining half of the commissar was lying on the ground, gritting his teeth and saying to the still somewhat confused Khorne Space Marine. "We... see you in hell!"

Tick-tock

boom!

Bundles of melta grenades exploded at the same time, and the scorching heat directly submerged the enemies, melting them along with their power armor.

An entire position of Astra Militarum troops was killed, and they bought a little time for subsequent battles.

An armored unit of the Astra Militarum arrived late and quickly occupied the vacated position, but soon a Tzeentch demon raised a raging flame and engulfed them.

The new troops, who had just arrived, were 'blown back' in less than ten minutes.

And this kind of thing can be seen everywhere on Terra.

It's like the end of the world...

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Three guards wearing Achilles Terminator armor led the other soldiers behind them to guard the gate of the palace. The corpses in front of them had piled up into small hills.

The enemies continued to pour in. The battle on Terra had lasted for a day and a night, and would continue even longer.

The blood on the power halberd had dried up layer by layer, and the ground had been dyed red.

Another Chaos Space Marine was pierced by the halberd, his body nailed to the ground, and another Khorne Daemon was expelled.

Now, these imperial guards can still guard the palace and ensure that the enemy will not enter from this entrance. They have been stationed to protect the sacred building, but... What will happen next...

They will surely be drowned in the endless tide of enemies...

. . . . . .

Abaddon led a squad of Space Marines into the palace from another entrance, and then... they were flattened by a [Contempt Custodian Dreadnought] and several [Custodian Guards]...

Abaddon is very strong. It's not without reason that he calls himself the successor of Horus. But even a Primarch may not be able to defeat a squad of Adeptus Custodes, not to mention that there is also a Adeptus Custodes Dreadnought here. Besides, Abaddon has never been recognized by the Four Gods as the successor of Horus, and he does not have the same blessing of the power of the Four Gods as Horus.

However, the defeated and captured Abaddon did not lose his temper, but calmly allowed two guards to put shackles on him and bring him to the Golden Throne.

"Abaddon..." said the Emperor on the throne. "Have you seen Horus?"

"He... is still alive? It wasn't just an illusion?"

"...No..." the Emperor responded. "He is dead..."

"When the sword pierced him, he died..."

Then, both sides fell into an eerie silence.

"Just go..."

"?"

"Continue to attack with Chaos, as many as possible..."

"you..."

"As Horus told you: 'Do what you think is right'..."

"Where on earth are you......?"

"I used to not believe in emotions. In order to fight against Chaos, I didn't care about my offspring as much as I should have, and even ignored them. This indirectly triggered the Great Rebellion..."

"This time, I plan to try a different approach, while I still have time to express myself..."

"Do what you think is right..."

. . . . . .

When the Black Legion Space Marines on the periphery attempted another raid on the palace, they encountered the Warmaster Abaddon, who was holding a Custodes helmet and covered in blood.

"Warmaster, you..."

"...Continue the attack." Abaddon interrupted the Space Marine and said, "Gather your forces and continue the attack!"
