Warhammer 40 A New Hope

Sublime in battle, even at the last moment, his talent cannot be doubted by others!

These humans, these [Pillars], these mediocre geniuses before him are not his targets. He wants to challenge the strongest! He wants to...

Focusing all his attention on the huge golden giant, Kokushibo saw... The sun...

[Transparent World] allows others to see the world and its essence in another way. However, what he saw when he spied on the golden giant was the real 'sun'.

Swinging a knife at the sun? This was foolish. Even his genius brother had never swung a knife at the scorching sun.

But he did it, even after seeing the true nature of the enemy in front of him, he barely hesitated and delivered his strongest blow.

The result was obvious. The sword light dissipated before it could touch the target. The blade pointing directly at the "sun" vaporized instantly, followed by his arm and body.

No one saw what happened, but even from a distance one could feel that the fierce blow disappeared in the blink of an eye. In an instant, only the head of Kokushibo was left, which fell to the ground and then began to dissipate.

At that moment, Kokushibo completed his self-transcendence and used a blow comparable to that of Yoshiichirō Tsugakuni, but his opponent was too strong, and his transformation was meaningless in front of O'Neill.

"You are very good."

“Just took the wrong road.”

This was the last sound heard by Kokushibo before his consciousness completely disappeared.

Warhammer World Galaxy

An [Ultramarines] fleet has arrived here for a long time, and has already contacted the patrol forces in this star field and obtained some useful intelligence.

The civilian ship carrying the target person was like a 'magnet', attracting the Slaanesh troops of unknown origin, who flocked to them one after another.

It is also because of this that one imperial planet after another in this star field has suffered unexpected disasters. The docking of this ship there often means that this place will become the next target of attack by Slaanesh's troops. Therefore, many planet managers drive these poor guys away as if they were the plague god - even so, they may not be able to escape disaster. It is not the first or second time that Slaanesh has not played by the rules.

At the same time, more and more Eldar warships were gathering and chasing the ship. They were flying the banner of Evelyne and demanding that humans not stop their actions in this star region.

Although it is true that there has not been a large-scale conflict between the two sides so far, minor frictions continue to occur. As mentioned before, the cognition developed over hundreds and thousands of years is not so easy to change.

"We need to make contact with that ship, preferably to take him over."

"It won't be that easy. Besides us, there are at least two other forces that want to get him."

"Then let's make this our ultimate goal. At this stage, we need to at least grasp its actions and ensure that the initiative is in our hands."

“Afterwards, someone will come to complete the ultimate goal.”

448. Emperor: Don’t look at that, look at me!

"I refuse to work overtime! I..."

Zhang Yi, who was about to protest fiercely, was pinched on the cheek by the little emperor O'Neill and lifted up.

"Protests are useless," O'Neal responded. "I'm here to 'work' and you have to get busy too."

"Also, after these things are over, you will have to prepare to lead the Empire's troops on a large-scale exploration and conquest of other worlds."

"Don't say you forgot."

After listening to O'Neill's words, Zhang Yi nodded, and was then let go by the little emperor.

Both sides fell silent until...

"I remember Slaanesh gave me a cult of beast-eared girls?"

Bang－－!

The imperial guards guarding the gate outside only felt a very obvious sound coming from the wall behind them, something hit the metal wall.

"... (He and his brother who was standing guard together exchanged glances/they motioned for him to leave it alone)..."

. . . . . .

The commercial ship carrying a large number of lucky people and the incarnation of the Eldar god of death finally met its end after being lucky countless times, and crashed from the orbit of an inhabited world.

The Fallen of the Emperor's Children once again followed the target ship and arrived above an Imperial planet, starting another joyful battle.

Soon after, the Ultramarines fleet, which had obtained the intelligence, arrived to assist the planetary defense forces on the planet, while searching for targets. Next came the belated arrival of a small Eldar fleet.

The three forces were in a mess, and everyone wanted to take this precious incarnation torn from the god for themselves.

The battle soon became intense. Relying on the local advantages of the planet, humans gained the upper hand at the beginning, but soon the advantage turned to Slaanesh due to the opening of a warp rift.

After the Eldar forces tried and suffered many casualties, they determined that they could not achieve their goal with their current troops. So, they once again asked for an alliance with humans in the name of Evelyne to fight against Slaanesh's attack and search for the incarnation of death.

The occupation soon entered a stalemate. The strength of the Slaanesh believers and demons who had lost their gods declined significantly, while on the other side, Slaanesh and the Empire were slightly inferior in terms of military numbers to the endless stream of Slaanesh troops.

Soon after, an Imperial ship equipped with the latest curvature engine appeared near the orbit of the planet. As soon as it appeared, the demonic troops rioted.

The Eldar forces were the second to realize what was happening, as their prophets sensed the arrival of a powerful presence in the Warp, while the Imperials were the last.

In any case, this battle is about to enter its final stage.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Patience, patience

[Be patient enough, and the subsequent explosion will be more enjoyable]

【In this darkness and silence, be patient...】

. . .

Slaanesh's fleet was engaged in a fierce firefight with the Imperial and Eldar fleets over the crashed merchant ship. Relying on its numerical advantage, Slaanesh was able to hold out against the Imperial fleet, which was equipped with various new technologies.

In the universe, while the two sides were fighting for air supremacy, there was also fierce fighting on the ground. The roar of the Astra Militarum's artillery never stopped, and the two sides fought for every inch of position.

The weird-looking Slaanesh succubus screamed and ripped open the Astra Militarum in front of it, but then the heavy bomb on the Leman Russ tank shattered it.

The huge and difficult to detect Slaanesh Chaos Spawn rushed into the crowd, tearing apart the Astra Militarum in front of it. The tank engines roared, and the machine guns in the hands of the small Titans that replaced the Sentinels continued to output.

squeak--!

At this moment, [Noise Warriors] carrying psionic sonic weapons appeared on the battlefield. As they released destructive sonic waves, a large area of ​​the battlefield was cleared of enemy and friendly forces.

"Come and enjoy it! This is the gift of Slaanesh!"

The Slaanesh Space Marine, holding a psychic sonic weapon and with a face that looked like a disaster, shouted loudly on the battlefield, his face full of madness.

Squeak—boom!

Just as he was about to show off his power, a blue light flashed and his chest was pierced directly. His teammates around him were also attacked directly afterwards.

[Target dealt with, tactical team rushes into the battlefield]

【receive】

The [Ultramarines] tactical team holding military flags appeared on the battlefield, and then more Space Marine teams rushed into the battlefield and began to suppress the Slaanesh troops.

Without the support of the god Slaanesh's power, the Warp rifts opened by these Slaanesh followers with the massive sacrifices they made were no longer as dangerous as they were before Slaanesh was still around.

Although Slaanesh can still gain an advantage by continuously summoning demons from the Warp, the quantity and quality that can be summoned at one time have decreased.

The assistance of the [Ultimate Marines] stabilized the front line. The open tug-of-war had been going on for a long time, and secretly, the search for the target person who caused all this was also going on non-stop.

There were signs that the survivors on the ship evacuated to the nearest city. Both sides followed the traces to that city and started a small-scale battle there.

With both sides' main forces being held up, whoever can find and capture the incarnation of Death first will gain the initiative. But for humans, as long as someone can see and remember the target's appearance, they will be close to taking the initiative.

. . . . . .

[Ronin] class (small) Titan, this small Titan with smaller size and weaker armor is very suitable for street fighting.

Although its size limits the weapons it can be equipped with, its thin armor also means that it is more vulnerable than other small Titans.

But after being equipped with large-caliber multi-barreled shotguns and power swords that are one size larger than those used by ordinary Space Marines, they can deal well with various enemies in complex and changeable street fighting.

A mortal army led by a Ronin-class (small) Titan can effectively travel through the city and meet various sudden attacks. The changes and progress brought by Zhang Yi are once again reflected on the battlefield.

[Team D reports that we have found Team C, which has lost contact, and have annihilated the nearby enemies. No survivors or target individuals have been found.]

"Got it. Continue searching. Another team of Space Marines will join the search mission soon. I will let you know the communication channel after they join."

【receive】

The Ultramarines team that arrived at the city occupied a noble's mansion as a front-line command post, and then sent a large number of troops to the entire city to search and intercept enemies who had also come to the city.

At this time, the imperial noble whose mansion was forcibly requisitioned was looking at the golden imperial guards in front of him with hope, but these loyal guards of the emperor ignored any words of the human noble and rejected his request to meet the big man in the room.

Inside the room, the huge slap mark on the long face was extremely clear, and O'Neill was sitting near him, evaluating the tea collection of this human noble.

"It's really awful," O'Neill said. "It's not the original Da Hong Pao at all."

"Just be content. This place is so many light years away from the Earth that it's a miracle to have such normal tea leaves to drink." Zhang Yi responded. "And I just mentioned it. Do you have to hit me so hard?"

"Very good."

The two were waiting, waiting for the search team to find survivors or target persons, and then they could rely on Zhang Yi's ability to get directly to the target person.

O'Neill's purpose in coming here is, on the one hand, to keep an eye on Zhang Yi, after all, he can be regarded as a lesson for the orphan, and on the other hand, to suppress the target when he resists - even if he is now regarded as a fragment of the Emperor, it is definitely greater than the incarnation of the God of Death.

Gunshots could be heard from time to time in the city; the Empire and Slaanesh were exchanging fire in various parts of this small city.

Explosions, burning flames, faint cries...

"Ah... here it comes again." Zhang Yi said, covering his face. "Still mumbling."

Ever since Zhang Yi took the initiative to contact the ban on his left hand, he began to try to control and use the power of five gods, including the Emperor's fragments.

The emperor left this arm behind not only because he wanted Zhang Yi to stay, but also because he wanted to use him as another possibility to destroy the Four Gods.

The arm that possesses the fragments of the four gods not only has the ability to use their power, but also has the possibility of replacing them. Although the possibility is small, it is not impossible.

Although the Emperor does not know what will happen if a human takes the position of the Four Gods, it is highly likely that things will not be worse than they are now... It should...

Zhang Yi's attempt was not smooth. Although the consciousness of the four gods, including Tzeentch, had been twisted quite a lot, and their extreme emotions and views had also changed a lot, but...

There is still a long way to go before their camp becomes neutral - but at least, the resistance and influence of using their power are getting smaller and smaller.

"I guess it's Tzeentch." O'Neill looked at Zhang Yi and said, "He is stating the facts."

"Yes." Zhang Yi said. "He was explaining the disaster this action brought to ordinary people in this city and on this planet..."

"'We saved the Empire, but we couldn't save them'... what MD said makes sense."

"He's always like this. Deception that makes no sense, is full of loopholes, and is false is the lowest level of deception," O'Neill responded. "Deception with truth and facts is the highest level. Even if it is discovered, it is difficult for you to realize the problem."

"How much have you reached? Complete control of the power of the first level seal?"

"Half, maybe less than half..." Zhang Yi replied while lying on the chair. "I once thought about fighting against the Saiyans, but now I realize that I am just an ordinary boxer who couldn't even beat Goku when he was a child..."

At this point, the room fell silent, save for the sound of O'Neill sipping his tea.

Knock (knock on the door)

A guard came in after knocking on the door, and after saluting to O'Neill and Zhang Yi, he reported.

"There are results."

449. Do you want to be decent yourself, or do you want me to make you decent?

Biubiubiu－－!

The sound of laser gun firing continued, and a well-equipped Astra Militarum squad was surrounding a Ronin-class small Titan, retreating continuously.

In their ranks, a thin ordinary human was holding his head and hiding behind a Star Army soldier.

A twisted Slaanesh beast that pounced forward was cut in two by a Ronin-class mini-Titan wielding a power sword, while the firepower of the rest of the Astra Militarum suppressed other enemies and prevented them from getting close.

"Keep firing! Keep firing! Don't let them come over!"

The Slaanesh demons, who prefer to use melee weapons to enjoy combat, lack long-range weapons, while the humans, who have already upgraded their weapons, can suppress them with their long-range firepower advantage.

Under the dense firepower, the scantily clad Slaanesh Succubi found it difficult to dodge and returned to the Warp after being hit repeatedly. The Ronin-class small Titans holding power swords could deal with those large Slaanesh demons.

The small urban environment made it impossible for Slaanesh to gather a large number of troops to seize targets from the human side, and the Slaanesh Space Marines who were originally said to come to support were still not showing up.

Biubiubiu－－!

Another team of the Human Empire Astra Militarum appeared, and began to join forces with the previous team to attack the demonic forces in front of them. Although most Slaanesh demons did not care much about the outcome, they were annoyed by being suppressed like this all the time.

But they had always lacked planning and order, so they had no way to deal with this situation.

At this moment, the sound of grenade launchers rang out, followed by heavy footsteps. Hearing these sounds, the Slaanesh demons began to get excited.

However, the blue-armored Space Marines who appeared later to herald the Slaanesh Space Marines dumbfounded these demons who were opening champagne at halftime.
