Warhammer 40 A New Hope

"You should know why it was you who took this position instead of Sanguinius, right?"

"If someone else takes this position, it's easy for them to become the second you, right?" Zhang Yi replied. "But I don't have this concern..."

"Don't you think that as the current emperor of the human empire, you don't have any prestige or achievements?" O'Neill continued. "Maybe you don't care, but for the stability and longevity of the empire, you must have these things."

"I will assist you. Today you will demonstrate unprecedented strength, drive the evil minions from the warp back to their corrupt territory, save the people of the human empire, and bring a victory!"

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Nurgle's current condition is not very good. He is a clone of his original body, and it has not been long since he was found by his children. His current strength is not strong enough. It is very exhausting for him to forcibly tear the reality barrier like this.

And because of his actions, other beings in the subspace also turned their attention here after he took action, ready to take a piece of the pie or even play the role of "jackal".

In Nurgle's view, these are all worth it. You know, there are three good things on one planet now!

There is Aisha, the main target, Sanguinius, who was once coveted by the four gods, and the most important one is Zhang Yi. No matter which of these three Nurgle can get in the end, it will be a win.

If you're lucky enough, you might get two, or even three...

Thinking of the increased power output, he had to drag the planet in front of him into the subspace and slowly deal with it before anyone else came out to disrupt the situation.

However, a familiar golden light

Mang suddenly appeared on the fortress planet at this moment.

"Woo--"

"That is... a curse..."

"My body is melting..."

The low-level Nurgle demons that appeared because of the Warp rift that was large enough to engulf the entire planet were now wailing and gradually disappearing under the golden light.

The demons who had participated in his great rebellion recognized this light. It was the power of the human god, the power that could kill demons once and for all.

[You damned corpse! You are the same as that blue soft body! You both prepared a backup plan long ago!] Nurgle's voice sounded in Zhang Yi's mind. [I will not leave like this! Let me see! How much of you is left now!]

A green storm that was big enough to submerge the entire planet surged out from the subspace rift and grabbed the Aduk fortress planet like a giant hand, and a scene like the end of the world unfolded before everyone's eyes.

bite--!

The next second, a golden light flashed, and the green that had surged like a tidal wave in the previous second now melted away like snow. The subspace rift that had originally emitted green and purple light now ignited a golden flame and began to heal gradually.

The Nurgle demons and Nurgle believers were wailing. The mere aftermath of this power caused them great pain. Their bodies were dissipating, and they were dissipating.

The morale of the humans was boosted by the golden flame of the sword. They shouted the name of the Emperor and charged towards the enemy who had already begun to collapse.

Aboard the now-purified Eldar Ark, the battle between the two Primarchs was decided at this point, with the twice-weakened Mortarion being defeated by Sanguinius and now being banished back into the Warp.

"Woo woo woo! Woo woo woo! Woo woo woo... Woo woo? (Don't think you have won! The loving father will never give up! One day he will... What are you doing?)"

Sanguinius used his camera to take a picture of Mortarion, who now looked like a panda. During the process, he even kept smiling.

"I think the brothers will like you the way you are now."

"woo woo woo woo!"

. . . . . .

"I never thought I could succeed..." Zhang Yi muttered as he looked at the gradually healing Warp rift and the growing praise and shouts. "Am I replacing Guilliman and completing the achievement of burning the Garden of Nurgle?"

"Due to your physical condition, the power of this attack was somewhat weakened, but it did burn Nurgle's garden." O'Neill said as the golden light on his body dispersed. "This is enough to keep him quiet for a while."

"I feel so tired. I just want to find a place to sleep..."

"Don't even think about it. You should attend at least a week of celebrations before that." O'Neill interrupted. "In a sense, now you have truly become the emperor in the eyes of most people in the human empire."

"... Was this also a factor in why you didn't want to take this position again?"

"The enemy!"

701. Still have problems

Under a golden light, the evil beings from the warp space disappeared one after another, and the great enemy of mankind returned empty-handed once again.

Our new savior and faith, he may not be as powerful as the previous Emperor, but he can still be a beacon of light for all mankind!

Now, let us celebrate! Celebrate this victory! Celebrate the new Savior of mankind!

The New Imperial Gospels - A Must-Read Book for the State Religion

～～～～～～～Zhang Yi: Why don't you call yourself Neon Genesis Evangelion? ～～～～～～～

Nurgle's attack was thwarted, and even the plague he created against the Eldar in his attempt to find the goddess of life, Aisha, was completely purified by Aisha in this hasty attack.

The golden flames from the Emperor of Mankind repelled his attacks and ignited the outer edges of his garden, damaging him to a certain extent as he was now a clone.

This resulted in Nurgle not taking any large-scale actions against the real world for a long time in the future, and since he would only actively spread the plague he created once, the crisis of the Eldar was resolved.

It can even be said that because Goddess Aisha stood up, the elves also saved a considerable number of elves' souls that were not completely polluted and destroyed. This will become one of their biggest gains in this rescue operation.

When O'Neill returned to the Warhammer world, he also brought with him 100 second-phase Pathfinder Space Marines and nearly a thousand Primaris Space Marines, mainly Ultramarines.

According to him, the second-phase [Pathfinder] is the finished product, and the 50 [Pathfinder] Space Marines in the first phase can be called rushed test products.

"It's easy to get into trouble if you say that, okay, old bacon?"

Then there is this batch of [Primaris Space Marines] that were used as test products. This was a project that had already been finalized by Grand Sage Cawl and was about to start mass production, but it was delayed because of Zhang Yi's existence.

The reason for the delay was very simple. The appearance of Zhang Yi brought many new technologies, which gave this great sage who was on good terms with the emperor more ideas and he put them into action later.

The number of transformation surgeries performed on the Primaris Space Marines now exceeds the original 22, and O'Neill also said that if he hadn't dissuaded him, Archmagos Cawl would have been ready to...

Prepare to continue to increase the number of reconstructive surgeries.

"I can probably understand what the Iron Man was thinking when he rebelled during the Golden Age... You are becoming less and less human..." Zhang Yi muttered as he listened to what O'Neill said. "The situation in this star region has not yet completely stabilized. I remember there is a suspected Slaanesh on a planet. Let's wait until the entire star region is stable, shall we?"

"You have to understand that you can't escape this long and boring celebration ceremony that you hate. It's only a matter of time."

"You're having fun watching me get mad, aren't you?"

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Planet Sindis

While Zhang Yi and others were fighting fiercely, the planet that was basically confirmed to be plagued by lust was not idle either.

When the top leaders of the entire planet were planning to have another carnival, a rebel army that emerged from the bottom of the city interrupted the carnival that was about to begin.

This rebellion did not end as quickly as most people thought. The local PDF was unable to quickly eliminate these suddenly appearing rebels. If their actions had not been aimed at something strange, they might have been reported to the higher authorities long ago.

At the same time, there have been many missing cases at the top level. At first, it was only a few servants, then a few small officials and nobles, and now a person who has a say in the upper class has disappeared.

Perhaps because the banquets had not been held many times, the brains of these senior managers had not completely gone mad. They began to deal with these two matters, but it seemed to be of no use.

On the other side, at the bottom of this human planet, Ella, the former Chosen One of Slaanesh, was heading home after completing another hunt.

Ordinary people are becoming less and less able to satisfy her, the frequency of her hunting is increasing, and her body and mind are becoming restless.

As mentioned before, even if her thoughts change, her essence will force her to change back to the cannibalistic Chosen of Slaanesh.

But now she is troubled by another problem - is what she insists on, her goal, really what she wants?

It was then that Ella realized that, apart from the memories that Slaanesh gave her, she didn't seem to understand Zhang Yi at all. She was just constantly pursuing him, hoping to find him... But what happened?

Bring him back to the Circle of Slaanesh? Take him for yourself? Or something else?

You don't understand what love is

The recent major actions were all led by Archaon. His target should be the upper-level Chaos beings. He will start from there to complete his revenge.

This former Chosen of the Four Gods who had escaped from the control of Chaos had found his new goal, while Ella was still bound by her previous orders.

She returned to the shabby hut and removed her disguise in front of the old man.

"This is for today." She placed today's harvest on the table, and then he saw the fragments of an unknown book with the Imperial Double-Headed Eagle in the hands of the mother-in-law who had taken his life.

"...Are you interested in this?" A large tumor almost covered half of her face, and her old and cloudy eyes looked at the charming person in front of her who seemed to be of a different species from her. "A torn page of a book of the state religion, given to me by a priest when I was young."

"I didn't expect you were a believer."

"Because I'm stingy, weird, and live in this lousy place, I can't have faith?" she said. "If it weren't for this thing on my face, I might have become a nun, little girl."

"There are indeed few good people here, but their loyalty to the empire is beyond reproach."

"Although, the Empire may not need us..."

Just as the old man said, the lower-class people on most planets might be scum who would do anything to survive or climb up, but for the state religion, even these lower-class scum have great respect for it.

Even though most missionaries and priests of the state religion would not come to the most chaotic lower-level areas for safety reasons (after all, there were not only people but also other ghost things down there), these people all had normal beliefs.

This has something to do with the existence of the Emperor and the propaganda of the state religion. Many people in the state religion really want to help those suffering people at the bottom of society, but their economy and strength do not allow it. Not all people in the state religion have the money to support a crusader army, and not all priests can kill a nest with a scepter.

"The first time I heard missionaries preach, it was to get free food, but as I went there more often, I became a believer of the state religion," he said. "I would go whenever I heard the news, but..."

"It has been a long time since anyone from the state religion came to this area."

"We are no longer needed..."

"．．．．．．．" This was the first time that Ella saw the old woman like this. In her impression, the old woman who rescued her should be someone who would fight with others for a piece of scrap metal for a whole day. She never exposed her weakness in front of others.

"But," she suddenly said, "You know, the Empire has a new emperor."

"I heard that he has made many reforms and changes, which have opened up new possibilities for people like us who are at the bottom of society and have difficulty seeing the light of day."

When she said this, there was light in her eyes, and even Ella could see the excitement of the person in front of her.

"We have a new choice. We have no choice but to stay here and rot.

Besides being rotten, there is also a way to serve the Empire! We just have to wait a moment..."

She was talking about the "Planetary Bottom-Level Labor Clearance Plan" that Guilliman had been implementing. By clearing the bottom level of the planet, the hidden population that had not been counted by the local planetary governor for various reasons were cleared out and sent to other planets or other worlds as labor.

This plan has been ongoing, but as has been said repeatedly before, the territory of the Human Empire is too large, the Guilliman Energy Institute has limited manpower, and the fact that some planets have all kinds of monsters at the bottom of the society has resulted in the implementation of this plan not being smooth.

Not to mention that some recent problems have caused Kilimamba to transfer some of the staff to implement this plan.

Ella had heard about this matter. When she went to sell the fabrics she had woven, she heard similar gossip. It was also one of the rare times when Ella could see the light in the eyes of the people here.

Although in fact, these people had different ideas when talking about this matter, it is undeniable that because of Zhang Yi's existence, these people who originally had few choices now have new expectations.

"If possible... I really want to go on a pilgrimage..." At this point, the old woman's eyes dimmed again. "But, it should be impossible..."

At this time, she took out a big bag, which contained all the money that Ella had earned before.

"It's time for you to go, Miss Upper Floor." She said. "I thought it would take you a long time to adjust. I'm ready to kill that pervert next door."

"I didn't expect that he would die on his own. Everything went unexpectedly smoothly..."

"Why, do you want to live here forever?" Seeing Ella's puzzled look, she asked. "Remember what I told you when you woke up? My help to you is not free..."

At this time, she also put the remaining pages of crowdfunding group number 456127940 in her hand into the bag.

"Although I don't know why you ended up at the bottom of society, you are definitely not from here. You should be the daughter of a rich man or a minor noble or something. But these are not things I should know."

"I ask you to go on a pilgrimage to that Raghu on my behalf and place these fragments there."

"That's all I ask for."

"Surprised? How many days do an old woman like me have left to live? It's a miracle that I can live this long here. I've let it go a long time ago."

"You're just going to give me all this money? This is already..."

"Is it enough for me to eat for a long time? Do you believe that if I dare to expose this money, my body will appear on the street the next day?" She interrupted Ella. "Besides, you can tell my situation by the amount I eat every day."

"To be honest, if I were 30 years younger, I would definitely ask you to take me up there to enjoy happiness at all costs, but now..."

"Okay, take your dirty money and go. The next elevator is about to open. It's not too late to go now." She suddenly changed the subject. "Let's go, let's go. Once you go up, you should have a way to get back. If not, it's your own fault."

"go out!"

. . . . . .

Sitting on the transport elevator to the upper floor, Ella was now a little unresponsive. The large cloak covered his body and the large bag of money.

As she watched the elevator gradually rise, thinking back to her conversation with the old lady and her shining eyes when she mentioned Zhang Yi, Ella suddenly felt that she had found a new goal.

She wanted to find him, she wanted to meet him, she wanted to understand him, she wanted to know what kind of person it was who changed the human empire.

This time, it was no longer Slaanesh's order, but her own will.

maybe?

702. The Chosen One of Slaanesh - Priela

"Oh~ Thank you for your assistance, great demigod warrior." A noble saluted the Raven Guard Space Marines who helped them. "Without you, we would not be able to repel the attack of these traitors."

This group of Raven Guard Space Marines did not react to the thanks from the man in front of them, because after they dealt with the rebels who tried to attack a node in the middle layer, they lost contact with several Alpha Legion Space Marines who arrived on the planet with them.
