Both Shots at Erebus

As a seasoned Chaos Cultist,

Erebus had long since mastered various ways of offering sacrifices to the Chaos Gods.

Based on his professional experience accumulated over thousands of years, he immediately recognized that the Commorragh was an excellent altar.

This dark city has enough hatred, enough bloodshed, and enough killing.

Countless conspiracies, betrayals, and killings have occurred there.

Despair, pain, hatred and other dark emotions have long permeated every brick and stone of the Commorragh.

With proper guidance, this emotion can be harnessed to create an echo in the Warp.

This will create a massive Aether Storm.

Given that the Great Rift has already opened,

This storm will be no smaller than the Ruinstorm that struck at the beginning of the Horus Rebellion.

At that time, it won't just be Commorragh that will be swept up by the storm.

Many planets in the Imperium of Man will also lose the guidance of the Astronomican due to this storm, accelerating the speed at which Chaos devours the universe.

Commorragh has been plagued by demonic possession for some time.

When Yvraine ascended to become Ynnead Messenger, the psychic energy fluctuations that emanated from her...

And the violent turbulence that occurs when Great Rift appear.

All of these factors have caused damage to the protective barrier of Commorragh, leading to an escalating demon crisis.

Through his observations of the Commorragh and the information he gleaned from the demons, Erebus...

They quickly devised a detailed plan to use Commorragh to cause trouble.

Erebus focused his attack on the Dark Throne of the Dark Eldar.

You should know that thing was made in imitation of the Golden Throne.

The reason the Emperor sits on the Golden Throne is because he fears that the Golden Throne might go out of control, tearing open the Warp and turning Earth into a demon planet.

If the Dark Throne were also activated and then went out of control,

That would certainly make things very interesting in Commorragh.

"Humans always think they still have hope, but little do they know that everything they have now is nothing but an illusion that leads them to fall into the final Abyss."

"From this day forward, I will end this unrealistic fantasy."

Erebus was aware of the recent First Company actions taken by the Imperium of Man.

Guilliman launched the Indomitus Crusade to counter Abaddon's all-out offensive and attempt to suppress the various crises that followed the appearance of the Great Rift.

The Living Saint who resembled Sanguinius initiated reforms in Terra.

They purge the scourge of corruption and greed, and introduce various technologies that have not yet been corrupted, intending to bring the Imperium back on track.

But Erebus will make all of this a pipe dream, letting them know that everything they've done has been in vain.

A massive storm originating from the Commorragh will plunge the entire Milky Way into darkness once again.

At that time, the forces of Chaos will have a complete advantage.

Erebus couldn't wait to see the Emperor Living Saint and Guilliman's expressions of despair.

I'd rather see the despair and suffering of humanity after falling into an endless Abyss, and the Exterminatus when the entire Milky Way is swallowed by Chaos.

Let despair and pain fill the entire universe.

Erebus felt a burning fighting spirit within him.

He couldn't wait to realize his grand vision.

Erebus took out a dagger from his pocket.

This was a treasured artifact, the Dagger of Venom.

It can cut through any entity or concept.

It was obtained by dismantling the artifact that wounded Horus — the Anathame.

The Anathame was forged by Kambria metalworkers from sentient metal.

Once a specific target is selected for this type of weapon, it will become the target's nemesis and possess deadly power.

The original Anathame did not possess the power to cleave through time and space.

However, the Dagger of Venom derived from its decomposition can achieve this.

This was largely due to the sword wounding Horus and contributing to his rebellion.

Just as the spear that wounded Jesus was called the Spear of Destiny.

It possesses the power to slay gods and demons.

The Anathame wounded Horus and instigated the Horus Heresy thus became a divine weapon.

With Dagger of Venom in hand, Erebus cleaved through time and space with a single stroke.

A deep, dark crack appeared before him.

Let's go.

Erebus stepped inside.

The next second, he entered the core area of Commorragh and arrived at the location of the Dark Throne.

He was accompanied by a group of demons and Dark Apostle.

The demons screamed and pounced on the Dark Eldar and slaves who were perfecting the Dark Throne.

The Dark Apostle then fired their bone- Bolter at every enemy within their field of vision.

Screams rang out one after another.

In no time, the entire hall was transformed into a bloody hell.

The demons under Erebus's command and the Dark Apostle accompanied him.

Easily seize the Dark Throne, whose defenses are weak.

The invasion of the Imperium of Man plunged Commorragh into chaos, and the guards who were supposed to protect the Dark Throne were all redeployed.

After all, this is Commorragh; who would dare steal or damage anything belonging to the Supreme Overlord Vect?!

The outcome would be very tragic; they would be unable to live and unable to die.

Ignoring the brutal battle scenes, Erebus focused his attention on the Dark Throne.

Not being able to see what the Golden Throne looked like in person was a small regret in his heart.

Siege of Terra, they were on the verge of breaching the Sanctum where the Throne Room was located.

Horus, however, lowered his Void Shield and challenged the Emperor to a duel.

The result was that the rebels' efforts were in vain, and they were forced to withdraw from the Sanctum.

After Guilliman arrived with reinforcements, the rebels fled in disarray.

Erebus escaped the Sol System with the others.

From beginning to end, he was unable to enter the Throne Room, let alone see the Golden Throne.

The area where the Dark Throne is located is very empty.

Various complex machines were piled up, connected in parallel, linking to a huge metal throne.

Erebus stepped forward and touched the armrest of the Dark Throne.

The image of Emperor sitting forlornly on his Golden Throne flashed through my mind, and I was suddenly filled with an indescribable, inexplicable joy.

Erebus has never forgotten how the Emperor looked when he first descended upon Colchis.

How spirited and ambitious the Emperor back then!

Now he is a rotting corpse sitting on Golden Throne.

"The Imperium of Man is finished. I mean, even if the Emperor awakens, he can't save it."

Erebus muttered to himself, brimming with confidence.

Once he makes a move, that Living Saint who looks like Sanguinius and Guilliman, who is trying to save the Imperium, won't be able to cause trouble for long.

He turned to look at the demons and Dark Apostle who were wreaking havoc.

"Collect the corpses, offer them as sacrifices to the gods, and then we will activate the Dark Throne, presenting a great gift to humanity and the Dark Eldar."

When human armies and the Dark Eldar of Commorragh waged a brutal ground war in an attempt to seize control of the city,

An unexpected event occurred that surprised both sides' top officials.

Deep in the Commorragh,

A terrifying surge of energy suddenly erupted from the location of the Dark Throne.

This fluctuation was like a terrible storm, instantly sweeping across the entire Commorragh.

Immediately afterwards, a colossal Warp Rift that plunged the Dark Eldar into despair appeared above Commorragh.

The crack was so large that it tore the entire Commorragh in two.

The crack became a transparent window leading to the Warp.

You can see the Immaterium and ocean from a high vantage point.

Giant, mountain-sized spherical eyes and terrifying tentacle monsters loomed over Commorragh.

This horrific and blasphemous scene elicited terrifying screams from the residents of the dark city.

The whispers of the Prince of Pleasure echoed in the ears of every Dark Eldar.

The current situation is tantamount to throwing the Dark Eldar into the Warp.

With so many delicious Aeldari, Slaanesh was so excited he wanted to poke Erebus and pamper him properly.

The entire Commorragh was plunged into chaos.

Many of the Dark Eldar's souls and flesh melted together, transforming them all into dark and twisted monsters.

It was exactly the same situation as when the Imperium the Fall.

The Prince of Pleasure is devouring their souls.

Everywhere there were piercing screams.

Only some towers, inscribed with ancient prayers, are in a slightly better condition.

But judging from the flashing frequency of those runes,

The condition of these towers is also not optimistic; they won't last much longer.

Sitting inside the floating Pyramid, Vect stared in disbelief at the sudden appearance of the Warp Rift.

Then, despair welled up in my heart.

Originally, he thought that by using the extinction weapons in the secret vault, he could fight against humanity, or even inflict a great loss on them.

Now, with the Warp Rift open, it's all over.

Even if we defeat humanity, it won't matter.

Because the Dark Eldar simply cannot close that rift.

"Erebus, I will never let you get away with this!!!"

I learned from the spies what had happened at the Dark Throne.

Vect wished he could tear Erebus to pieces.

The original purpose of creating the Dark Throne was to save Commorragh.

But now it has become the final straw that broke Commorragh's back.

His Commorragh, which he had painstakingly built up over thousands of years, was destroyed by that wicked bastard, Erebus.

Vect swore,

This is an irreconcilable feud. If that bastard Erebus falls into my hands, I'll make sure he suffers a fate worse than death.

Warp Rift opened, and countless demons poured into the Webway.

Its sheer size left many factions in Commorragh feeling hopeless.

However, the demonic invasion was only the beginning.

As the Aether Storm intensified, ships that were originally navigating in the Warp were swept up by the storm and plunged into the Commorragh.

The first to enter the battlefield was a large Ork fleet.

"WAAAGH".

A deafening roar emanated from the warship, echoing across every communication channel.

Countless Ork rained down on the battlefield, then launched an indiscriminate attack on the Dark Eldar and humans.

Immediately afterwards,

A Tyranids fleet that was accidentally Warp also entered the Commorragh and, likewise, indiscriminately attacked all races.

In addition, there will be numerous Xenos warships, including some from the Tau race.

This is a fleet intending to travel to the new war zone via the Star Tide Nexus.

As a result, even the stable Star Tide Nexus was disrupted during this terrifying Warp Storm, which swept them to the Commorragh.

Inside a Protector Class battleship with a futuristic design.

The numerous high-ranking Tau commanders looked at each other, completely bewildered by the current situation.

Commander O. Shi looked at the projection in front of him with a puzzled expression.

Where are we?

Why are those buildings so evil and dark?

"Why are there still so many racial conflicts on the surface of the earth?"

The Tau have fought against many of the races below them, but they have never seen such a chaotic battlefield.

Each race was determined to eliminate the other by any means necessary, resulting in a fierce and evenly matched battle.

O. Sben wanted to keep the fleet away from the chaotic battlefield.

However, this battlefield is like Maelstrom.

Once you're inside, don't even think about escaping.

The Tau fleet was soon forced into the war against its will.

Seeing the battlefield, which originally consisted only of humans and Aeldari, now mixed with demons, Orks, Tau, Tyranid, and all sorts of strange Xenos races from Milky Way,

Vect felt that Commorragh at this moment was like the Succubus had openly invited passersby to engage in group sex a few days earlier.

Anyone in the Warp can come and have some fun.

What has Commorragh done to deserve such a display?!

"I will send communications to the various Kabal, giving them one day to evacuate their people and wealth from the Commorragh. Then, I will detonate those stars."

Vect truly lived up to his reputation as a ruthless character who climbed step by step to become the Supreme Overlord of the Commorragh.

Ruthless and decisive in action.

Realizing that there was no hope of saving Commorragh,

He decisively made the decision to evacuate and planned to detonate the entire Black Sun to severely damage the forces that had invaded Commorragh.

The explosion of a star will devour all living beings; even demons will find it difficult to withstand the impact of a star's explosion.

Even after activating the Dark Throne, Erebus did not stop.

He used the Dagger of Venom to traverse the Commorragh, searching for anything of value.

To prepare for the next plan.

Under the guidance of the gods

Erebus arrives at the Secret Chamber where the Blood Reaver Master, Trex, resides.

The Blood Reaver master was packing his things, preparing to flee the Commorragh.

Erebus walked up silently and slit the other's neck with the Dagger of Venom, the movement fluid and effortless.

The master of the Blood Reaver perished without even knowing who killed him.

"This is the STC module of the Panacea."

Erebus took a metal cube from the fallen Trexiss.

After reading the other party's memories through the demon, Erebus obtained this STC creation from the Dark Age of Technology.

The Panacea represents the pinnacle of Dark Age of Technology in the fields of genetics and medicine.

It can cure human diseases and all genetic defects, and is an important creation that ensures the purity of human bloodlines.

However, the members of the Adeptus Mechanicus were snatched away by Aurelia Maris, Vect's former lover, no sooner had they been unearthed than they were taken away.

Later, Marys was abandoned by Vect and expelled from the Kabal of the Black Heart.

This STC creation also fell into the hands of the Blood Reaver Trexiss.

The other party used this to develop Corrupted Panacea.

The Corrupted Panacea grants its user near-immunity to poisons and toxins, and bestows upon them astonishing regenerative abilities.

Erebus picked it up.

Those God Chosen should like this.

After all, this thing can solve many problems for the Imperium, such as Gene-Seed mutations or Chaos pollution.

I can use this to set a trap, lure them into my snare, and then wipe them all out.

"The current situation in Commorragh is absolutely no less impressive than the war fought by the Adeptus Custodes in the War of the Webway."

"Look at those demons and Xenos. Did those Commorragh bastards fall for Khorne, trick Tzeentch, kick Nurgle's head, and force Slaanesh to reform? They were fighting well, how did it suddenly turn into an apocalyptic battlefield?"

The players were also completely bewildered.

How did it suddenly turn into a complete mess?

Moreover, so many demons and Xenos,

At that time, cleaning the Webway will be a troublesome task.

What kind of scoundrel created such a huge crack?

At this moment, a new task popped up in the players' database.

Mission: Capture Erebus

Mission: Capture Vect, the Supreme Overlord of the Commorragh.

[Mission: Capture...]

"What's going on with this mission? And what the hell is Erebus?" Warmaster looked confused.

"It seems we're not the only ones causing trouble." Ten-Timer quickly grasped the key point. "Erebus might be in the Webway, and that Warp rift is very likely his handiwork."

"Erebus is on the battlefield?"

Where is he?

"The Imperium can lose, but Erebus must die."

"Commorragh can wait, but Erebus must die now."

"..."

The news that Erebus had appeared on the battlefield excited the players.

If you ask these players this question

"If you only had one bullet left in your Bolter, and you had to choose between a Ko Phall and an Erebus, which one would you shoot?"

The player's answer will definitely be,

"Pray to the Machine Spirit, let it go to the Warp to steal bullets, and use all the bullets it gets on Erebus."

"If the Machine Spirit doesn't want to steal it, shoot Erebus first, then knock out Co Phall with Bolter, and then pick him up and smash Erebus."

It has to be said that Erebus is a really hateful person.

Regardless of which faction's pieces Warhammer player buys, their biggest desire is to smash Erebus.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Slash! Slash! Slash!"

Ignoring the sudden turn of events, the Wrist Bro continued to wield his Chainaxe and wreak havoc.

Kill insects when you see insects, kill demons when you see demons, kill Orks -Orks...

"He's definitely a promising talent."

Khorne was even more satisfied watching the Wrist Bro hack and slash wildly, getting happier with each strike.

But then he remembered that the other party had said he would rather sell the hook to the Prince of Pleasure than to him, and that he was an uncultured brute.

Of course, he didn't want the guy's hook; he was just furious.

Thinking of this, Khorne looked toward Slaanesh's domain.

In the chaos of the battlefield, the Khorne army suddenly changed direction and went to Slaanesh army.

Tzeentch also took the opportunity to attack Nurgle. The demon army, which should have dealt with humans and Aeldari first, was caught up in a fierce battle, resulting in bloodshed.

"It's typical of Warhammer."

The players, including Warmaster, clicked their tongues in amazement as they watched the demon army slaughtering each other.

They quickly plunged into the chaotic battlefield.

Regardless, this battle must continue.

Terra,

When the crack appeared in the sky above Commorragh, Qin Yun learned from Xi Ling that Erebus was up to something.

He immediately instructed Xi Ling to issue a mission, ordering the players to capture Erebus and the Supreme Overlord Vect.

"The Chaos Gods are paying too much attention to us; they interfere with everything we do."

"What was originally just a routine battle to annihilate the Commorragh has now turned into Apocalyptic War."

"Send a message to the Minister of the Interior and the Captain-General of the Adeptus Custodes, asking them to temporarily handle the government affairs on my behalf. I need to personally go to the Webway."

"By the way, tell Trajan that if anything goes wrong with the Imperium when I return, he can take off his armor and go guard the pond."

PS: Another 5k.
