Chapter 026: Brother, want to join us?
A blessing from an evil god?
This was Draconis's first reaction.
But then he thought about it again and realized something was wrong.
There were no familiar subspace fluctuations.
How do we explain this scene?
Could it be the spirit of the false emperor manifesting?
Draconis's eyes, hidden beneath his helmet, were fixed on the colossal figure radiating a terrifying aura before him, his right hand gripping the chainsaw axe, eager to strike.
The whirring sound of the engine spinning idly was particularly jarring in the deathly silence.
As Khorne's henchman, he never feared powerful enemies.
The skull of a powerful creature is an excellent offering to the Lord of Blood.
The remaining non-Khorne Astartes didn't think so. They subconsciously exchanged glances, their eyes filled with apprehension.
They were simply disgusted by the hypocritical empire and threw themselves into chaos; they weren't stupid.
Anyone who encounters a giant who can turn Chaos Space Marines into rats would be filled with fear.
The surrounding chaotic demons sensed danger and retreated.
The once bustling battlefield has fallen into a strange balance.
"By the Emperor..."
Human morale surged to its peak at this moment.
The soldiers stared intently at Germany's retreating figure.
It must have been the emperor's great power that saved the devout citizens of the empire from dire straits.
"strangeness…"
Claire watched Dejan's retreating figure from afar, feeling mostly puzzled.
As a psionic race, the Eldar are naturally sensitive to psionic energy.
She was certain that Dejan's transformation into a giant did not cause any psionic fluctuations, nor did it carry the putrid stench of a god's blessing.
As for the emperor's divine intervention...
Claire glanced around and silently recited the Emperor's name.
It should be understood that even if an emperor manifests his power, it is, to some extent, a form of spiritual energy expression.
Wow, how did they do that?
Is it some kind of lost technology?
"I should have realized it sooner, heh heh." Chapter Leader Malakin leaned on his holy sword, a relieved smile on his face.
He finally realized that Dejan was the golden warrior prophesied in the Sanguis scroll, the giant who saved the chapter in molten golden light.
The prophecy from ten thousand years ago has now come full circle, and the red thread of fate has long been entwined around Deyan.
The salvation he had been praying for had been with him from the very beginning.
All the hardships come.
The grieving, who had been plagued by misfortune, were blessed with good fortune.
……
"Kill him!"
The brief tranquility was shattered by a violent roar.
Draconis knew that this giant posed the greatest threat and had to be eliminated first. He swung his chainsaw axe sharply, signaling the Chaos Wizard in the group to take action.
He was a Word Bearer clad in tattered robes, holding aloft a staff covered in filthy runes, chanting blasphemous verses.
A nauseating subspace fluctuation instantly locked onto Deyang.
At the same time, the other Chaos Astartes also pulled their triggers, unleashing a barrage of explosives like a storm.
Dejan sensed a thorn in his side, and the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end. Whispers whispered in his ear, trying to penetrate his mind.
No, we absolutely cannot take it head-on!
You'll die!
As Deyang focused his mind, a dazzling golden light instantly filled the hall.
Upgraded. Zhonya's Hourglass withstood all the damage.
Taking advantage of the invincible three seconds, Dejan went straight for the Chaos Wizard who was casting a spell.
In crucial moments, you can always trust Pete.
A powerful psionic lightning bolt struck the Chaos Wizard.
"what!"
The wizard screamed as his protective psionic shield shattered.
Well done!
Dejan silently cheered for Pete, and charged into the enemy ranks like a golden meteor.
Grabbing the Chaos Wizard with both hands, he exerted his strength...
"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!"
As the Chaos Wizard was torn in two, Dejan seemed to have flipped some kind of magical switch.
The sight of blood dripping everywhere is intoxicating to modern people.
In the inhuman world of Warhammer 40k, isn't the ability to kill without restraint a form of redemption?
Hearing the whispers in his ear, Dejan, enveloped in the thrill of killing, began to agree with them somewhat.
That seems to make some sense.
It's better to kill someone than to be killed by someone else.
The battle was awesome!
Deyang turned to look at the auxiliary soldiers who were prostrate on the ground, kneeling and shouting "May the Emperor protect us!" and "Praise the Emperor!" A murderous intent began to rise in his heart.
The soldiers hadn't realized this yet.
Even Sister Martha was awestruck by the miracle, her shoulders trembling slightly.
"My lord, is this an envoy you sent?"
Look at their devout appearance; they seem to regard Deyang as an imperial messenger.
I reckon Dejan would let her take off her clothes and dance to "Jumping Is Not a Crime".
Draconis should have been furious at the killing of the Chaos Wizard, but in fact, he was not only not angry, but his eyes revealed an indescribable appreciation, like an innocent bearded man in white socks encountering a chosen one's fierce attack.
"Hey bro, wanna join us?"
The false emperor will only discard you ruthlessly after draining you of your value, while the Blood God will bestow upon you unparalleled power!
Upon hearing this, Deyan immediately realized what was happening and broke free with great willpower.
He scoffed at the offers of recruitment.
Admittedly, the Emperor is not a good boss.
It's not Khorne either.
That's a paralyzed antisocial violent individual who would hit people with bricks at the drop of a hat.
"Get out! Wishful thinking! Prepare to face the Emperor's wrath, for the Emperor's sake!"
Deyang raised his arms and shouted, and countless people responded.
Without the support of psionicists, Chaos Astartes quickly crumbled.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Draconis led his remaining troops in a hasty retreat to catch up with the main force.
After the battle, Deyan deactivated his transformation and returned to his normal form.
Tank engines have powerful active effects, but their drawbacks are also obvious.
With no resistance and low movement speed, it is an easy target and is very dangerous when focused by multiple enemies.
It only works under specific circumstances.
"Golden Warrior, I don't know your name yet." Malakin walked over.
"Dejan Davent, is the Golden Warrior calling me?" Dejan felt a wave of unease; what an embarrassing name.
"Yes, the golden knight recorded on the Sanguis scroll, we have always generally believed that the golden knight refers to Louis Dante, until just now I realized it was you."
Dejan: Saint Gilles reel?
The Primarch of the Blood Angels, Saint Gilles, possesses the ability to foresee the future.
The Saint Gilles scroll is a collection of Saint Gilles prophecies, and surprisingly, it even includes his stories!
Deyang's thoughts are chilling upon closer examination.
You should know that Saint Gilles has been dead for 10,000 years, yet people predicted his arrival 10,000 years ago.
No way?
And isn't comparing him to Dante a bit of an overstatement?
Who is Dante?
Holy Blood Angel Super Macho Man.
The Dark Side of a Future Empire: Regent.
I have no right to try and frame Dante.
However, noticing the admiration and awe others showed when looking at him, Deyang accepted the title without any qualms.
He knew he would no longer have to worry about his identity.
"Oh, by the way, are there any records of the Golden Warrior in the Saint Gilles scroll?"
Malakin shook his head. "We can't stay here any longer. We must go and support Deathwatch. Hopefully, they're still alive."
The group continued onward, passing through the empty, still tomb chamber, where the scene before them weighed heavily on their hearts.
Corpses were everywhere.
Humans, cultists, and the undead.
Dejan stood on the remains of a necromancer destroyer. "It seems this necromancer tomb is most likely ruined."
Malakin, puzzled, asked, "How do you know?"
This was his first time fighting the undead, and he was unaware of the social structure of the space undead.
In fact, not only him, but the entire human empire was not very familiar with the space necromancers.
Far inferior to Deyang.
Dejan kicked the Destroyer's head away and said calmly, "As long as the Rebirth Protocol is still in operation, the Tomb Spider will keep dragging away corpses to be remade."
The large-scale appearance of undead corpses on the battlefield indicates that the regeneration protocol has been broken.
Malakin was deeply impressed; as expected of a Golden Warrior, he even knew this.
As they spoke, Elijah's voice came from the end of the passage.
"It's so good to see you, Commander Malakin!"
Deyang's eyes narrowed, and he silently put on the breathing mask.
It wasn't that he was afraid of Elijah; he just wanted to give Elijah a surprise.
