Warhammer 40 A New Hope

But that plan was aborted just as it began, as a Ratman aircraft disguised as a "double-tailed comet" was shot down by the Human Empire fleet. To be honest, when the Ratman high-ranking officials, including the Horned Rat, saw the orbital aircraft destroyed after so much difficulty in launching, they were all stunned.

In the previous battle, the ratmen had already deployed almost all of their available high-level combat forces, but even so they still failed. The [Skaven Magic City] was even destroyed by DOM alone, and the entire city was blown up.

After being stabbed by DOM and slapped several times by Khorne, the Horned Rat made a brief analysis, then gave full play to his characteristics as a rat, decisively gave up most of his power and his believers, found a secluded corner in the warp and hid there, intending to wait tens of thousands or even thousands of years until the storm had passed.

Touching the wound on the tip of his nose that had not healed yet and was caused by DOM's weapon, the Horned Rat was considering whether to move deeper when suddenly a huge attraction came over him and dragged him towards the real world.

“No, no, no—!”

The Horned Rat cried out in fear and tried to break free from the pull, but he was unable to do so as he had given up most of his strength in order to avoid being hunted by the gods and the Lizardmen.

As he was being dragged out of his hiding place, he seemed to hear wanton laughter, mocking his plight and rejoicing at the success of his plan.

"Tzeentch!" the Horned Rat roared. "Damn you!"

"I won't let you go!"

[Then you have to survive first~]

[For my plan, you have to sacrifice yourself ~ Little Mouse ~]

~~~~~~~~~

With sufficient preparation, the Horned Rat does have the ability to influence the entire mortal world after being summoned to it, turning the entire world into a paradise for ratmen - but the prerequisite is preparation.

The thing that originally allowed him to unify the entire real world now became his death warrant. He was forcibly dragged into the mortal world, exposed to the eyes of the Gods of Order and the Lizardmen, still in an extremely weak state.

Yes, he was a god. His coming caused changes in heaven and earth. Dark clouds with green light blocked the sunlight, and green gas spread along with his appearance.

But all this cannot hide his weak nature.

【What did you do? ! 】

The roar of his own god instantly shattered the joy of the pseudo-Grey Prophet. Looking at the big horned rat with curved horns on its head, protruding incisors and sharp claws, a sense of fear rose in his heart.

"I...I rang the bell according to your order..."

"Rat Man... Rat Man will rise again, and I will be the new Thirteen..."

【idiot! 】

The huge palm smashed down hard, smashing the rat man into meat paste, and at the same time a large amount of sand was shaken up.

【Damn! Damn it! 】

Having been forcibly summoned to the real world and severely suppressed by the [Great Whirlpool], the weak Horned Rat was now venting madly. He broke the rugged giant tree and smashed the big bell hanging on it.

However, all this was of no avail, as it had been exposed, and now almost all the gods of order knew the location of the last scourge of the medieval world.

[I want to run away! I want to run away! Yes, yes, yes! ]

The huge rat-like creature began to run wildly on all fours in the scorching desert, stirring up dust along the way.

But even so, all its actions were not hidden from the Lizardman warships in high orbit.

[The target has been found, it is the Great Horned Rat]

[Someone summoned it. This must be a conspiracy of Tzeentch]

[Locking the target, have the vanguard team prepare for transmission, notify the magic toad priest on the ship]

[Transmission begins! 】

Snap!

Several bolts of lightning struck the running horned rat, causing it to stop. Then several huge lizardmen warriors wearing power armor appeared at the place where the lightning struck.

The Star Guardians are elite lizardmen soldiers wearing high-tech power armor, which have been refined since their incubation stage and have undergone special debugging afterwards. They are expected to replace the duties of the Temple Guardians in the future. At this time, they are in a surrounding formation, staring at the huge horned rat in front of them.

[You damned lizardmen!] The Horned Rat roared at the [Star Guardians] that surrounded it.

Faced with the huge existence before them, these [Star Guardians] showed no fear at all. They gripped the kinetic polearms tightly in their hands and rushed towards it.

【It’s not that easy! 】

The huge claws clenched into fists and smashed the ground hard. Even though it was forcibly pulled into the real world and severely weakened by the strengthened [Maelstrom], and it had given up a lot of power in order to hide well, it was still a god.

The size advantage allowed it to temporarily repel the [Star Guardian] that was attacking it with just one strike, and then black clouds with a hint of green light gathered in the sky.

【Dimensional Stone Lightning Storm】

Unlike ordinary Grey Prophets who can only summon a piece of [Dimensional Stone Lightning], as a ratman god, it can directly summon a large lightning storm to deal a devastating blow to its enemies.

Thanks to the power armor and energy shields on their bodies, the raging warpstone lightning did not cause much damage to the [Star Guardians], but it prevented them from getting close to the giant horned rat in front of them.

Seeing this, some [Star Guards] immediately mobilized the small [Solar Engine Shoulder Cannon] on their left shoulders to attack the target from a distance, but then they found that it was difficult to break through the [Magic Screen] of the Horned Rat with their limited firepower.

At this time, the Horned Rat was ready to escape again. He was too weak now. He could still deal with these lizardmen wearing strange metal armor, but once there were more people, or even if a god of order came to him, he would surely die.

[Advanced Rat Frenzy]

The giant horned rat tore off pieces of flesh from its body and used its limited strength to make the flesh and blood grow rapidly. In almost the blink of an eye, it turned into a large group of squeaking ratmen.

"Hold them off!"

The Horned Rat cast berserker spells on these newly born ratmen, making them fearless and screaming as they pounced on the [Star Guardians] who were much taller than them.

The fate of these ratmen, who were only a few seconds old, was tragic. These elite soldiers, who were much stronger than other lizardmen, cut the ratmen, who had lost their minds due to spells, into minced meat on the ground as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

Just as the Star Guard was clearing out a large number of ratmen, the Horned Rat turned in a direction and continued to prepare to escape, but at this time, a spindle-shaped metal creature with two interlaced cross stars fell from the sky.

Boom--!

The landing capsule crashed to the ground, splashing up a large amount of sand. In response, the Horned Rat rushed towards the falling metal object without slowing down.

DUANG!

The landing capsule used to launch Space Marines from orbit would appear large to mortal eyes, after all, it would carry three to five Space Marines, or a Dreadnought or a Predator tank.

But for the big horned rat that was pulled into the mortal world, this landing capsule was still too small, which is why it chose to install it directly.

Just as the Big Horned Rat thought, the spindle-shaped metal creature in front of him was knocked away, but the next moment, he felt pain.

When he looked at what was in front of him again, the hatch that was originally closed was opened at some point, and at the same time, several giants wearing black heavy armor appeared beside him at some point, with various weapons aimed at him.

[Damn it, outsider! ]

[Advanced Dimensional Stone Lightning]

Sizzle--ding!

Fierce green lightning burst out and hit the giants that suddenly appeared, but then he found that his spell did not seem to cause any harm to these people at all.

【How can...】

Bang--!

The leading giant holding a thunder hammer interrupted the giant horned rat's shock with a heavy hammer, and the others seized this opportunity to launch a fierce attack on the target.

The Horned Rat was stopped once again. More troops were heading here, and the eyes of the God of Order were also converging here.

This also gives some people the opportunity to accomplish certain things away from the eyes and ears of others.

. . . . . .

[Soul Crucible]

This place was once occupied by [The Eternal Unchosen] - Bilak, and was used to imprison the bear god Ursun. He also used countless souls to forge a large number of [Soul Grinders] legions here, intending to use the power of the bear god to become a god.

But he failed. Zhang Yi used his own abilities to free the bear god and rescued it, and Bilak's plan failed.

And since then, this place has fallen into silence again.

[I found ~Soul Crucible~]

[Is this where Bilak is trying to... become a god?]

[He didn't know that his every move was under the watchful eyes of our Lord, and everything he did was already planned.]

[Now, the gods here have been attracted by the little mouse, and the group of big lizards have also been attracted by the bait~]

[Hurry up~Hurry up~The next task is a bit "big"~We have to get everything done before they realize our Lord's true purpose~]

[(Imitating knocking on the door) Time to open the door~ The takeaway has arrived~]

439. Is Wushan Wuxing good? (The title has nothing to do with the content)

Wu Mo was the Pathfinder Space Marine who was tricked by a member of the Mechanicus, got beaten up in a one-on-three fight in the library, and was then punished to follow the Imperial Fists to fight.

After moving bricks with the Son of Dorn for a while, he was summoned by Guilliman and allowed by Zhang Yi to be a member of the Pathfinders to go to the medieval world to aid the Lizardmen.

Wu Mo, who had been holding back for a long time, finally got the chance to fight again, and his first opponent was a god - albeit a weakened one.

The various spells cast by Wu Mo were completely ineffective against the Big Horned Rat, and it was instead seriously injured by the humanoid creature that was obviously much smaller than itself.

The huge hairy claw once again smashed towards Wu Mo who was jumping up and down in front of the giant horned rat, but he dodged it again, and a power sword pierced into the back of its hand.

The painful and furious Horned Rat roared once more, but was soon silenced by the bombardment and plasma that attacked him.

Wu Mo, who was the T and main attacker, followed the arm of the giant horned rat all the way up to its shoulder, then jumped up and smashed it on the head with a hammer.

Even the big horned rat's head was buzzing from the blow, and it opened its big mouth and bit the little man in front of it.

The result of his doing this was that Wu Mo stabbed the full-power thermal sword into its mouth.

While the Horned Rat was being suppressed by the [Pathfinder], the swarm of rats that had been summoned earlier to delay the [Star Guardian] was like boiling water, with densely packed rats being blown up from time to time.

Like a reef that remains unmoved despite being hit by the waves, the Star Guardians swept away the ratmen in front of them and advanced steadily. These summoned ratmen did delay the actions of the Star Guardians, but they could only delay them. Without weapons and equipment, they could not hurt these powerful lizardmen warriors with their teeth and claws alone. They could only use their bodies to block their advance.

[Humans, we are here to support you]

Some awkward human language came from the communicator. Not far away, a huge [Ceratops] led several pterodactyls to fly towards the battlefield.

As they approached the delaying [Star Guard] rat swarm, the troop began to dive down as close to the ground as possible, then dropped the high-strength bombs held in the dragon's claws.

boom! boom! boom!

The rising flames, dust, and the remains of the ratmen demonstrated the power of this bombing. After the bombing was completed, the Lingxis on the back of the pterosaur, holding laser rifles, began to shoot at the ground.

The leading lizardman warrior, riding a tamed ceratosaurus from the Monster Hunter world, broke away from the main group and flew towards the giant horned rat.

"For the Ancient Sage!"

Diving again, the armored Ceratopsian, which was much larger than an ordinary pterosaur, crashed directly into the body of the giant horned rat, and its sharp horns pierced into its thick fur.

The sudden attack caused the giant horned rat to suffer great pain. He let out an ear-piercing scream and twisted his body frantically, trying to knock the horned dragon off him.

Its action was soon interrupted by another hammer from Wu Mo and the non-stop shooting of the Pathfinder Space Marines. The incoming bombs had already blown up its magic screen and penetrated its thick fur, while the plasma cannon that kept firing at a fixed rhythm could cause considerable damage to it with almost every shot.

The Horned Rat tried to escape, but the result was that not only did it fail to run away, it was caught up by these armored giants and suffered serious wounds.

【You damn mortals...! 】

Suddenly, a chilly breath came from its body, startling the Horned Rat, which was about to cast a spell again.

Wu Mo used the EGO weapon extracted from the Killer's Shadow - a slender sword, and stabbed it into the body of the giant horned rat, causing it to pause for a moment.

This situation made the big horned rat feel a sense of crisis. If this feeling was not obvious just now, now it felt obvious fear and crisis - it was very likely that it would be killed by these real creatures.

[I will never admit it! ]

[Advanced Flame Technique]

Unlike the scorch spell cast by ordinary rat prophets or magicians, the spell cast by the Horned Rat is centered on itself and spreads out in all directions, burning everything in sight.

The lizardman warrior who felt something was wrong pulled the horned dragon he was riding into the air in advance, and when he tried to alert others, the magic of the giant horned rat had already been released.

The rat swarm, which was still quite large in number, was instantly burned by this attack, and the [Pathfinders] that were besieging it and the [Star Guardians] that were trapped in the rat swarm were also engulfed in the burnt red flames.

[Advanced Black Whirlwind]

A pitch-black tornado appeared with the Horned Rat at its center, sweeping up the spreading flames and making the desert even hotter.

The pterodactyls and ceratosaurus immediately increased their altitude and escaped the influence of the magic, but several pterodactyls and their riders did not have time to dodge and were almost instantly burned into charred bones.

[I am a god! No matter how weak I am! No matter how decadent I am! I am still a god!] The Great Horned Rat God declared. [With just these few people! Don’t even think about defeating me...]

DUANG－－!

Once again, the words of the Horned Rat were interrupted by the Thunder Hammer. Wu Mo threw away the original weapon in his hand and drew out the only pair of power swords left on his body. Facing the raging wind and flames, he launched another charge towards the Horned Rat.

【How can...】

Bang--!

Just as the giant horned rat was shocked, Wu Mo displayed amazing speed and jumping ability. He jumped directly onto the face of the giant horned rat, and the two power armors in his hands went straight into its eyes.
