Outside Twin Stars.
The void turned a kaleidoscope of colors as more and more shadows closed in, Abominations swaying within them.
It was a Chaos tide.
The armies of the Chaos Gods were attacking without reservation, throwing all their strength into breaching the defenses and charging toward this human colony world.
"My Gene-Scions, prepare to weather the impact. I hope everything can still be salvaged—"
Vulkan stared at the Abominable shadows in the void, his voice low.
Even though Primarch brothers such as Guilliman had held back most of the enemy, Twin Stars' defensive lines had inevitably been infiltrated.
That was the trouble with Warp warfare. It was unlike space warfare or ground warfare in the Galaxy, where sealing off the airspace and building fortresses could stop the enemy from advancing.
Here, enemies could arrive in any conceivable form, emerging from any corner or crack in the void, even twisting the laws of space to descend directly from distant regions.
Or they could use people's thoughts as bridges, corrupted bodies as nodes, and slowly crawl out.
Vulkan turned his head.
Twin Stars' dense clusters of buildings were already ablaze, their flames reflected in his red pupils.
It was not only the airspace that had been invaded. Even the ground was under attack, and the defenders there were resisting with all their might.
The next moment, shadows engulfed this cluster of Blackstone Fortresses. Chaos Daemons and Beastmen shrieked as they pounced on the Salamanders.
They sought to seize those Blackstone Fortresses and destroy the Reality Fields within. That way, the gods could extend more of their power inside and use terrifying Chaos Storms to tear Twin Stars apart completely!
Hehehe~
The main fortress where Vulkan stood was covered in grayish-yellow fog, and discordant music drifted out along with a rotten stench.
