Dante, the Manly Man, Weeps
"Demon, you also have two choices."
Qin Yun pointed the blade of the Blade of Divine Judgment at the demon, the burning flames causing the air to distort slightly.
A holy and powerful voice came from behind the Crying Mask.
"The first one was to submit to the God-Emperor, and the second one was to be beaten up by me and then thrown back into the Warp."
Ka'Bandha: "..."
Are all the minions of the Cursed One these days so arrogant and conceited?
They even wanted to recruit the followers of the gods.
If you dare to recruit him today, you'll dare to seize the Brass Throne tomorrow.
The day after tomorrow, he dares to participate in the Eternal War as the Fifth God.
Such arrogance must be suppressed.
"You have inherited the arrogance of your creator, little angel; you know nothing of the power of the gods."
"Ka'Bandha, you have inherited your master's folly. Go back and tell Khorne that the Warp cannot keep attacking forever. One day, the Immaterium will boil over with the anger of mankind."
Qin Yun refused to back down and countered sharply.
"This temper is just like Sanguinius'. It seems that the God of Cowardice shaped you based on the image of his Ninth Son."
Unlike the other demons, Ka'Bandha didn't get angry; instead, he grinned.
He thought of Sanguinius, and the anger in his heart melted away.
If that guy had been willing to join Khorne's side, he wouldn't have died on the Vengeful Spirit; they could have been brothers.
"Go back and ask your master, anyway you'll be going back soon."
Qin Yun flapped his wings, consuming Faith Points to obtain the Emperor's blessing and enhance his power, before swooping down towards Ka'Bandha.
"Come on, I need a good, satisfying battle."
"I can no longer suppress the urge to taste your blood."
Ka'Bandha stuck out his tongue and licked his obsidian-like teeth.
Saliva, hot and sticky, dripped straight down his throat.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The two powerful beings began to clash in close combat.
Each strike produced a resounding, metallic clang.
The power released by the two caused the sky and the earth to tremble, producing a rumbling sound.
Ka'Bandha swung his battle axe repeatedly, with tremendous force, as if trying to cleave the earth and sky of Baal.
Qin Yun used the Blade of Divine Judgment and the Rod of Retribution Scepter in his hand to block and deflect it.
As the two sides clashed, Kasareth and other Aeldari Farseer descended upon Baal in a flash of light.
The offspring of the Holy Blood saw the Xenos appear.
He immediately raised his gun, aimed, and attempted to launch an attack.
However, he was stopped by Lothar and other Astral Knights were accompanying him.
They couldn't allow the Living Saint's Warp advisory group to be mistakenly killed while supporting friendly forces.
"They are allies of humanity, as personally guaranteed and promised by the Living Saint. Are you going to attack our friendly forces who have come from afar?"
Lothar stood in front of Kasareth and the Aeldari, shouting at the Blood Angels Successors were brandishing their guns.
"We will not allow the Xenos to set foot on Baal's land!" shouted a Sons of Sanguinius. "Make them leave, or we will launch an attack."
"Was what I saw an illusion?" Lothar pointed at the roaring Tyranid creature. "If enemies can set foot on Baal's lands, why can't allies?"
These words immediately enraged many of the Sons of Sanguinius.
Whose child talks like that? They have absolutely no emotional intelligence.
Don't you even know the saying "don't hit someone in the face"?
Are those Tyranid creature permitted by them?
They forced their way in!!
Just as tensions were about to rise, Dante noticed the situation on this side.
He prevented the conflict.
"No matter what, let's talk about this after the battle is over. Point your guns at the enemy, not your own people."
Dante instructed the Sons of Sanguinius to point their guns at the Tyranid creature, then looked at Lothar, recognizing his insignia and identity.
"Astral Knights, Sons of Dorn, if these Xenos do anything excessive, I will punish you all as well."
"Astral Knights never turn a blind eye to the responsibilities they bear," Lothar said.
With the help of the Astral Knights, Kasareth and the others gained the right to act freely.
They dispersed, using Qin Yun as the center, to draw a psionic array to suppress Ka'Bandha's power and restrain his actions.
"Annoying little brat!" Ka'Bandha roared angrily.
These damned Aeldari dared to interfere with my battle with the little angel; they are unforgivable.
He exerted his strength suddenly, forcing Qin Yun away.
Then, flapping its wings, it swooped down on the Aeldari on the ground, wanting to deal with these annoying creatures first.
"Your opponent is me."
Qin Yun swooped down, and the Rod of Retribution in his hand suddenly erupted with a bright bolt of lightning.
Boom!
In a split second, the lightning struck Ka'Bandha in the back, sending him crashing to the ground with a thud.
"How could you use those bastards' tricks??"
"As a soldier, you should fight honorably."
Ka'Bandha was furious. He climbed out of the pit and roared to the sky.
"I can use whatever I want, unlike you, you idiot, who will only ever foolishly chop around with an axe."
While launching the attack, Qin Yun verbally provoked Ka'Bandha.
"Let you be arrogant for now. Soon, you will taste the bitterness of defeat. I am Ka'Bandha, and I am destined to win."
Ka'Bandha roared, a terrifying sound that shook the heavens.
"Do you remember Signus?"
Qin Yun blocked Ka'Bandha's battle axe and then used the Rod of Retribution to release a shockwave, knocking away the opponent's long whip.
"A certain Khorne Daemon Prince had his spine crushed by Archangel's knee, and cried like a Gretchin who had his toes stepped on, while being mocked as trash by Slaaneshi Daemon standing nearby."
"According to the later recollections of that Slaaneshi Daemon, the Khorne Daemon Prince, whose back had been severed, took advantage of the Blood God's inattention and kowtowed repeatedly to Sanguinius, begging for mercy."
"I wonder who this disgraceful Khorne Daemon Prince is? It's so hard to guess. Ka'Bandha, do you know who he is?"
"You're slandering me!" Ka'Bandha roared. Signus's defeat was his eternal shame.
Recalling everything from the past, the flames on Ka'Bandha's body burned even more fiercely.
The billowing flames made him look like a giant torch.
A terrifying wave of bloodlust emanated from itself, spreading outwards in all directions like ripples.
"You're angry, which means it's true. Could it be that you're that disgraceful Khorne Daemon Prince?"
"No way, no way."
"Would Khorne blame you if he found out? Would he punish you? Unlike me, I would just kill you."
Qin Yun grinned, and a strong golden light also erupted from his body to resist the opponent's bloodthirsty Halo.
To prevent the Blood Angels Successors from being affected and falling into Red Thirst and Black Rage.
"When I have time, I want to compile this story into three parts: upper, middle, and lower. Each part will have six chapters, and each chapter will have six sections."
"Summon another 999 Psyker and have them tell this story day and night in the Warp, ensuring that every demon knows the story of the Khorne Daemon Prince."
"I even came up with several titles, such as 'Shocking! The Khorne Daemon Prince Signus did this in Signus,' 'The Secret Khorne to Be Told Throughout Warp,' 'A Sensational Short Story about Khorne,' and 'The Story of This Great Man is Going Viral Across the Milky Way.'"
"Enough!" Ka'Bandha in fury. "A coward like you, only good at empty words?"
"You don't like it? Then I'll do it even more. The more the enemy opposes something, the more it proves that I'm doing the right thing."
Qin Yun laughed even more heartily.
"Of course, just telling the story of Signus isn't enough. We also need to talk about the Siege of Terra, how pathetic you were when you were easily defeated by the angels!!"
"I will tear you apart," Ka'Bandha roared, the flames of his battle axe burning even more fiercely. "Your soul will be tormented forever, until the universe is destroyed and all things decay."
The Aeldari, including Kasareth, who were working together to cast a binding spell, stared wide-eyed at the furious Ka'Bandha, their expressions filled with shock.
He sighed inwardly, truly deserving of being the most valued Living Saint by Emperor of Mankind.
Putting everything else aside, the sheer aggression of that mouth alone is off the charts!
Look how angry they've made the children of the Khorne family!
"Unfortunately, you can't do it." Qin Yun grinned. "Ka'Bandha, today, not only will you not be able to kill me, but on the contrary, you will be defeated by me, becoming another eternal shame that you need to remember."
Roar!
Ka'Bandha Roar,
A terrifying sound shook the heavens.
Boundless rage unleashed an even more terrifying power in Ka'Bandha.
The earth shook violently, revealing terrifying cracks.
The scorching magma, like boiling blood, gushed out from the ground along the cracks.
Countless skulls tumbled in the sea of scalding blood.
Each demon was now covered in blood, billowing with scorching, unnatural steam.
They howled incessantly while launching attacks on both humans and Tyranid.
The three forces were locked in a fierce and protracted battle, fighting to the death.
The radiance emanating from Qin Yun grew even stronger, firmly blocking Ka'Bandha's bloody light and Aegis the Sons of Sanguinius.
Mephiston and the Blood Angels Successors witnessed this scene, feeling both fear and anticipation.
If no one stops Ka'Bandha, all the angelic descendants present will be overwhelmed by endless rage and turn into monsters who only know how to kill.
The fact that this angel could block the influence of Khorne's power on the Blood Angels Successors indicates that the angel has a strong connection with Sanguinius, and may even be the resurrected Sanguinius himself.
"Fire at that demon!" Dante commanded. "We must assist the Archangel."
The nearby Sons of Sanguinius raised their Bolt Pistol and fired at Ka'Bandha.
The explosive bomb slammed into the monster, slicing twisted flesh from its deformed body.
The players also launched an attack in coordination, trying to kill the Khorne Daemon Prince.
The other mechs of the Hammer and Sickle Warband also gathered around at this time, ready to Revenge their leader.
The magnificent guns roared as they fired projectiles and beams of light, symbols of destruction and slaughter, which struck Ka'Bandha and Rend his flesh apart.
"Have some sense of honor, you little angel of the Cursed One, come out and fight me one-on-one."
Ka'Bandha was forced to retreat by the artillery fire, letting out a roar.
"You won't get what you want," Qin Yun replied.
The rejected Khorne Daemons roared repeatedly.
Like a hot-tempered child, he angrily pounded on everything around him, trying to force Qin Yun to duel him.
"Hold on, don't let the demon break free of the binding magic circle."
Kasareth shouted, channeling all his power into the magic circle to block Ka'Bandha.
Other Farseer also shouted and chanted ancient incantations to maintain the magic circle.
Meanwhile, on the other side Baal Secundus,
Even after Ka'Bandha left, Brother Zhong and other players continued to fight.
They rallied together and marched toward the mound of skulls built by Ka'Bandha, slaughtering the demons along the way and destroying the magnificent mound with bombs.
Warp rituals possess their own power, but if disrupted, their power will be weakened.
As the Jingguan (a mound of skulls) was destroyed, the Warp Storm began to subside, no longer as terrifying as before.
As time went on, more and more Imperium troops descended upon the ground.
As they hunted him, Ka'Bandha sustained more and more wounds, which enraged him.
They were about to break the crumbling magic array and unleash a massacre on those guys.
However, as the Jingguan was destroyed, its power was gradually weakened, while the crumbling magic array received support and became more and more stable.
"I will never fail here," Ka'Bandha roared. "I am Ka'Bandha, and I am destined for victory."
Immediately afterwards, he used his long whip to bind the mech's hands and feet, restricting its movements.
Then, he swung his flaming battle axe, easily Rend the thick armor plates.
The massive Zaku Mechs was reduced to a burning wreckage.
Roar!
The Ka'Bandha, having destroyed the mech, roared to the sky, demonstrating its power.
Qin Yun seized the opportunity, circled around to Ka'Bandha's back, and delivered a fatal blow.
A blazing sword pierced between the demon's wings.
The sword shattered the armor on the demon's back, then pierced through the armor on Ka'Bandha's chest, bursting out of the demon's chest.
The longsword plunged into the demon's spine, down to the hilt.
The plundered souls flowed out along with the gushing blood.
"No!"
Ka'Bandha roared, his weapon flailing wildly in the air as he tried to destroy something.
The raging flames, centered on the Blade of Divine Judgment, spread in all directions, destroying Ka'Bandha's physical body.
Soon, its wings stopped flapping, and its limbs stiffened.
"I told you you would taste the humiliation of defeat again."
Qin Yun drew his sword, grabbed Ka'Bandha's horn, and swung it fiercely, severing the opponent's head.
The headless corpse knelt on the ground, twitched a few times, and then collapsed with a thud.
When Qin Yun raised Ka'Bandha's head high, Dante and the Blood Angels Successors cheered deafeningly.
The IX Legion's bloodline Calamity was thus executed.
This scene shocked Librarians such as Mephiston.
This angel was more powerful than they could have imagined.
"The Guide is awesome."
"It will be just around the corner to punch Khorne and kick the Tzeentch."
"Just asking, who else is there?"
"See? Our efforts have paid off, and the Guide are getting stronger and stronger."
"Brothers, keep pushing your limits! One day, the Guide will lead us into the Warp. Then we can become gods, pick up girls, and have a great time."
"As long as the Guide is strong enough, the Chaos Four Gods can also sing and dance and love peace."
"..."
The players cheered along with them.
Qin Yun's lips twitched when he heard the players' cheers; these guys were always so imaginative.
He even wants to become a god, and he wants to pick up girls!
Do they really think the Warp is humanity's Garden?!
The mounds of skulls on Baal Secundus's side were destroyed one by one, and the Warp ritual collapsed as a result.
The demons were driven back.
The sky returned to its original state.
It shows the Void in battle and the air Swarm in defeat.
As Imperium warships continue to arrive in support, the scales of victory are steadily tipping in humanity's favor.
The Imperial Glory performed consistently well.
With overwhelming firepower, they moved in and out of the Swarm fleet like Zhao Zilong of Changshan, wreaking havoc on the Hive Mind.
It was so provoked that it rolled its eyes back and lost control of the Swarm fleet, which was then decimated by the human fleet.
With yet another Synapse Creature- ship destroyed, the Swarm fleet crumbled.
They abandoned the Tyranid creature that had descended to Earth and fled beyond the galaxy.
Qin Yun did not order a pursuit, because the defeated Swarm was doomed and there was no need to waste time.
Baal, like the Cryptus System, lies within the Scarlet Scar.
To combat the Tyranid Swarm, Dante ordered the relocation and extermination of the inhabitants of the planets within the Scarlet Scar that had not yet been consumed by the Tyranid Swarm, ensuring the Tyranid Swarm would be deprived of supplies.
Apart from Baal, there is nowhere else in the Tyranid region where they can replenish their biomass.
The defeat in the Battle of Baal meant that they would suffer from Hunger and eventually be trapped and die in this area.
The Swarm's previous obsession with Baal led them to willingly walk into this trap with no turning back.
In order to obtain special gene sequences, they marched at breakneck speed, wasting a lot of biomass and leaving themselves no way back.
"Haha, all of these are ours now."
"I want that Hive Saint."
"Lictor, where is Lictor?"
"Baby, just go along with me, I'll be good to you, really, I promise I'll be good to you."
"..."
The players then began the much-anticipated loot-grabbing phase.
Using Tyranid to deal with Tyranid is impractical, but using Tyranid to deal with other Xenos is incredibly effective.
Having lost the control of the Hive Mind, the Tyranid creature appeared lost, controlled by their biological instincts, and no longer posed a threat.
"These guys are like a bunch of perverts!!"
As the God Chosen excitedly went around capturing Synapse Creature in order to control the surviving Tyranid creature, Lacerus began to complain.
"Don't talk about the people who helped us behind their backs."
Mephiston stopped Lacerus from continuing.
"We are grateful to them; without them, we would have undoubtedly lost this battle."
Dante ignored the rout of the Swarm and instead walked up to Qin Yun along with the other Chapter Master.
Each one was filled with awe and anticipation.
At this moment, Qin Yun wore Crying Mask, held the Blade of Divine Judgment and Scepter, and was enveloped in a golden glow like the dawn.
"Archangel, you have finally returned, finally returned to the side of your offspring."
Dante struggled to suppress his excitement and continued speaking.
"Forgive me, Archangel. I summoned all the Blood Chapter, but they were all wiped out. Tens of thousands of Sons of Sanguinius perished, and Baal was reduced to ruins."
Qin Yun stretched out his hand, and holy light enveloped Dante.
"Nothing is forgivable. You did a wonderful job, Dante."
"You withstood a massive Hive Fleet and weakened it. You saved Baal, and you saved this star system."
When his efforts were recognized, Dante could no longer suppress the bitterness and sorrow in his heart and burst into tears.
"I am so incompetent, Archangel. I almost lost myself and completely succumbed to the Black Rage and Red Thirst. Please forgive me."
Under the watchful eyes of all the Sons of Sanguinius, the holy angel embraced the weeping Dante.
"It's okay, it's all over now. You didn't mess anything up; on the contrary, you saved everything."
P. S.: I owed eight chapters last month, and this month I've already reached 500 monthly votes, so I owe you one more chapter. A total of nine chapters, 27,000 words.
