Erebus's Despair

"The call couldn't be connected!!"

"Should we gather a group of Librarians and send a psionic message to the Living Saint, so that he can be prepared and not be outmaneuvered by that newly born Warp being?"

Guilliman had this idea in mind, but he immediately rejected the proposal.

The wisdom of Living Saint is no less than that of oneself.

Perhaps, this problem was discovered long ago.

We must not emulate Magnus's foolishness and arrogance.

If the Living Saint is busy with something important, wouldn't it be disastrous if I sent my spiritual energy over?

"Let's try and see if we can contact the Adeptus Custodes."

Guilliman changed his approach, sending someone to contact the Adeptus Custodes.

The Living Saint, favored by his father, also gained the absolute loyalty of the Adeptus Custodes.

Sometimes, contacting the Adeptus Custodes was equivalent to contacting Living Saint.

When contacting the Adeptus Custodes, there were no more instances of being unable to get through.

A short while later, Trajan appeared in the projection.

"Regent." Trajan bowed to Guilliman.

"Where is the Living Saint?" Guilliman asked Qin Yun directly without any preamble.

"The Living Saint has entered the Webway; he should be at war with the enemy at this moment."

Hearing Trajan's words, Guilliman felt a surge of relief.

Fortunately, psionic communication was not initiated.

If something goes wrong, the consequences of my mistake will be dire.

"Does the Regent have something to entrust to the Living Saint?" Trajan asked, looking at Guilliman.

"Yes, tell him to get back to me as soon as he has time," Guilliman said.

"The Adeptus Custodes can relay the message," Trajan said.

"This is a warning to the Living Saint to be careful; something has changed in the Warp."

To avoid affecting morale, Guilliman spoke vaguely and then hung up the call.

Trajan he looked at the blacked-out screen.

The Primarch and the Living Saint actually have something they need to hide from him?

Damn it, are these two plotting to seize the Emperor??

Somewhere in the Commorragh, far from the Webway.

The T'au, led by Ank Shi, are fleeing the Commorragh under the guidance of Vect.

If possible, Anselm Shih would not want to establish any cooperative relationship with a being like Vect.

In An Shi's mind, the first thing to do when encountering any Dark Eldar is to shoot and kill them immediately, without listening to any nonsense they utter.

These guys are the Milky Way scum, a thousand times, ten thousand times more despicable than the Imperium of Man.

Eliminating them by any means is justifiable.

However, the complexity of the Webway exceeded the processing limits of the T'au Empire's technological equipment.

To allow O. Starr's Expeditionary Force to successfully leave, they would need the other side's help.

"Once we're safe, we'll take down this Dark Eldar immediately."

Anselm Shih and O. Shih, along with other high-ranking members of the expedition, quickly reached a private consensus.

They agreed to act as Vect's bodyguards, but they didn't promise not to arrest him.

Once they confirm safety, they will act swiftly, using the guise of the Greater Good to subdue their target.

The Webway's structure was intricate and complex. During the evacuation, the Earth Caste's scientists used recorders to attempt to analyze this unique area.

After recording for a period of time, it was discovered that the data in the recorder was a jumbled mess and could not be used normally.

After numerous attempts and efforts, the Earth Caste's scientists were utterly desperate.

He admitted that he was simply incapable of understanding the complexities of the Webway with his limited wisdom.

After First Company of setbacks, O. Smith's former confidence vanished.

Instead, there is doubt about the universe and about oneself.

What happened this time was truly unbelievable.

It shattered his worldview.

He can no longer distinguish between what is real and what is fake.

Suddenly, the roar of an engine echoed from the swirling mist.

The Fire Caste warriors protecting the transport ship looked tense and raised their guns, aiming them at the mist.

"Initiate scanning," shouted a Fire Caste commander.

His combat suit was larger and had superior performance than those worn by ordinary Fire Caste warriors.

Armed with Plasma Rifle and Burst Cannon in both hands,

Several other Drone Bee were also working alongside him.

Responsible for providing firepower, detecting enemy movements, etc.

The fog of the Webway can interfere with the operation of electronic devices.

The Fire Caste warriors' detection equipment was also jammed, resulting in a large amount of garbled text and blurry images.

Without the aid of the detection system, the Fire Caste warriors' combat power was greatly reduced.

They could only rely on their instincts to blindly fire at the problematic areas.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Upon hearing the engine sound, a Fire Caste warrior immediately pulled the trigger.

The bright beam pierced through the mist but missed any enemy.

"Release the Drone Bee!" the Fire Caste commander shouted.

Bang!

A bullet shot out from the mist, instantly blowing the Fire Caste commander's head off.

Blood was splattered everywhere, and the scene was gruesome.

The Fire Caste warriors watched as their headless commander plummeted to the ground with a dull thud, and they were instantly filled with rage.

"Damn humans."

"We must avenge this."

"..."

The Fire Caste warriors' eyes burned with a flame called hatred.

They will remember this grudge.

"Cover the retreat!" O. Shi shouted repeatedly, fearing that the Fire Caste warriors might act rashly.

Those humans are terrifyingly powerful.

If the Fire Caste warriors were to leave their unit and fight against the humans, they would surely face certain death.

However, even if they wanted to avoid the battle, players like Warmaster wouldn't let them go.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

With a whooshing sound, players, operating at maximum propulsion, emerged from the mist.

One by one, they charged towards the Fire Caste warriors, wielding longswords and battle axes.

The Twisted Man even directly activated a Space-Time Bomb.

With a burst of eerie light, all the transport ships slowed down instantly, as if they were stuck in a swamp.

"I told you, you're all dead."

Warmaster thrust out his sword, piercing through a Piranha looked like a potato.

The electricity crackled, and the driver inside was killed instantly with a single sword strike.

After drawing their swords, the flying Piranha plummeted to the ground just like the commander had done earlier.

"I'll be your opponent." Anshi, dressed in combat gear, jumped out of the transport ship, wielding a long sword covered in electric arcs, and slashed at the Warmaster.

Clang~

"I thought you were all cowards."

The Warmaster raised his sword to parry the opponent's attack.

He then fired the Bolter he was holding in his other hand, aiming for the opponent's head, but the opponent dodged it.

"Your foolish crimes will surely be punished and brought to justice."

An Shi stared intently at Warmaster, his eyes burning with rage.

"I hate it when people look at me like that."

The Warmaster increased the power of the thrusters and slashed at his opponent with his longsword, the force of which was immense.

Clang~

The clanging of metal weapons echoed continuously.

Anthropoid's combat power is astonishing.

As a man who survived the Dark Eldar Arena, his combat skills were also extremely powerful.

The two were evenly matched.

However, the other Fire Caste warriors were slaughtered by the players in a one-sided manner.

The combat capabilities of the two sides are completely different.

Boom!

A Devilfish Troop Carrier was detonated.

The T'au inside screamed.

"Damn it!!"

When O. Shi saw this, he was furious.

But his anger was pointless; the players continued their attacks, slaughtering his people.

Seeing the situation turn against him, Vect turned pale, thinking he was about to die at the hands of these humans.

Beams of light appeared, then suddenly erupted.

After the light disappeared, all those humans vanished.

"Retreat immediately." Anshi didn't know why those humans had suddenly disappeared.

But he didn't have time to think much and immediately shouted for his people to retreat and flee the battlefield.

Because I had been here once before

Therefore, Erebus easily used the Dagger of Venom to reopen a path to the Dark Throne.

They arrived before the Dark Throne with a host of demons.

Under the demonic attack, the remaining Imperium heroes were plunged into a fierce battle.

Meanwhile, Erebus walked to the throne with a relaxed expression, toying with the Dagger of Venom while mocking Qin Yun with vicious words.

"Hahaha, victory still belongs to me."

"Once this dagger goes in, you're finished."

The Chaos Gods, who had been fighting each other, stopped what they were doing and all turned their attention to Erebus.

They couldn't help but applaud and cheer; Erebus is indeed Erebus.

This guy may be bad, but he's really capable.

"He deserves a reward."

The Chaos Four Gods reached a consensus: Erebus had made such a great contribution, it wouldn't be right not to reward him.

Slaanesh had made up his mind to personally bestow favor upon him.

Khorne also decided to personally engage in a duel with Erebus.

Tzeentch then planned to bless Erebus, giving him a pair of wings.

As for Nurgle, he planned to give Erebus a spoonful of the soup he was simmering.

Erebus also felt the gaze and expectations of the gods.

An unparalleled sense of accomplishment welled up inside me.

Without wasting any words, he took the dagger and walked straight towards the man on the throne.

He planned to stab the enemy with Dagger of Venom, just as he had stabbed Horus, leaving an eternal wound in their soul.

The next second,

A burst of light appeared, and the Warmaster appeared between Qin Yun and Erebus, who were sitting on the throne.

He hadn't figured out the situation yet.

It appeared directly in front of Erebus.

Erebus: "..."

What happened? How come there's suddenly a grown person here?

Warmaster: "..."

Wasn't I just hitting those Tau creatures on the head?

How did we suddenly end up here?

Both of them could see each other's confusion, completely unaware of what was happening.

Warmaster frowned, looking at the incredibly ugly face in front of him.

The opponent was wearing a suit of armor that was predominantly scarlet with gold trim and covered in spikes.

His bald head was covered with blasphemous scriptures.

He held a Scepter bound with a book of evil, its end adorned with a skull and Chaos Star.

The Warmaster tentatively inquired, "Erebus!!"

Erebus didn't reply; he was still confused.

How did the relatives of the Outsider suddenly appear?

This doesn't make sense!

"Why ask so many questions? He is Erebus, hit him."

The Twisted Man to the side didn't say a word of nonsense, and started smashing with his hammer.

The hammerhead, covered in electric arcs, struck Erebus's face, leaving a horrifying wound.

"Holy crap!!" The Twisted Man's eyes widened.

This hammer blow could shatter the head of a Fire Caste warrior wearing combat gear.

How come it only left a few scratches on the other person's face?

The excruciating pain brought the shocked Erebus back to his senses, and he instinctively swung the Dagger of Venom.

The dagger was incredibly sharp, and it easily cut a gash in the Warmaster's breastplate.

Warmaster also reacted and swung his sword at Erebus.

Erebus used his Scepter to block the Warmaster's slash.

The Twisted Man kicked him, sending him flying.

The Warmaster raised his sword and shouted, "Brothers, that scoundrel Erebus is here!"

The players who had just been forcibly summoned by Qin Yun to protect them all turned their heads away.

When they looked at the fallen Erebus, their eyes were like those of hungry wolves eyeing meat.

"The Guide can die, but Erebus must die."

"Kill Erebus, and you will be rewarded with hundreds of millions of Sky Eagle Coins and appointed as the Sector Governor."

"Kill Erebus and Revenge Horus."

"If Erebus doesn't die, how can the people's anger be appeased?"

"In the name of Loken, go forth!"

"For Angron Thayer".

"..."

Someone shouted, and the players, chanting various slogans, swarmed towards Erebus.

Qin Yun, seated on the throne: "(ΩДΩ)"

What do you mean I can hang up?!

This kind of thinking is absolutely unacceptable.

Numerous players rushed forward, punching, kicking, stabbing, and hacking at Erebus.

As a result, one of the bastard's legs was also crushed.

If it weren't for the blessing of the Chaos Gods, he would probably have died on the spot.

Erebus was terrified and hurriedly recited the ancient Word of Darkness.

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying force suddenly erupted, sending the players surrounding him flying.

Then, he hurriedly took the Dagger of Venom, cleaved through time and space, and opened a path to escape.

By the time the players rushed over again, Erebus had already disappeared into the spacetime rift.

"Damn it, that bastard got away."

"This guy is too tough; he survived several stabs."

"When I hit someone with my hammer, their head would be smashed, but he would only have a few cuts on his face."

"Speechless, he managed to get away with that."

"..."

The Chaos Gods looked at Erebus, who was fleeing in a sorry state, and felt a sense of disappointment and frustration.

You're about to stab that guy, and you still won't run faster.

They insisted on waiting for him to call his family over.

Now look what happened! Not only did he fail to hurt the other party, he also got a brutal beating.

What a useless piece of trash.

Tzeentch brandished his Scepter, altering the timeline of Erebus's landing point, intending to teach him a lesson as punishment for his incompetence.

When the lame Erebus fell from the torn space-time, he landed right in front of Vect, who was fleeing for his life.

Having risen through the ranks of the Commorragh, Vect is well-versed in intrigue and scheming.

He could tell at a glance that something was wrong with those little Blue Skins.

In his eyes, the petty tricks of Anselm and Owen were utterly awful.

Even three-year-olds in Commorragh play better than them.

So once he was sure the danger was over, he ran away with his men.

The Anshi and other T'au naturally did not want him to escape, so they led the Fire Caste warriors in pursuit.

But they were completely unfamiliar with the Webway, and after circling around a few times, Vect shook them off.

"Damn the Corpse Emperor's minions, I will never forget this humiliation."

Erebus got up, his voice vicious.

This time I've really messed up, but fortunes change, and there will always be a chance for revenge.

"Erebus." A vicious, chilling voice rang out.

It was only then that Erebus noticed several Dark Eldar standing beside him.

Who are you?

Erebus showed a wary expression.

"I am the Supreme Overlord of Commorragh — Bile Vect."

"You were the one who orchestrated the Dark Throne, weren't you??"

As Vect introduced himself, he led his men to surround Erebus.

Upon hearing the name Vect, Erebus immediately sensed something was wrong.

Upon hearing the other party reveal that he had used the Dark Throne to lure the gods into Commorragh, he turned and tried to use the Dagger of Venom to cleave through time and space to escape.

Vect reacted quickly, throwing several poison darts that hit his opponent.

The neurotoxin quickly paralyzed Erebus's limbs, rendering him unable to move. He even lost his grip on the Dagger of Venom, which fell to the ground.

Clang!

The Dagger of Venom made a crisp sound when it hit the ground.

Vect walked over, bent down, and picked up the Dagger of Venom.

Then he circled around Erebus, looking him over, and even reached out and pinched his unusually ugly face.

"I also know some of the skills of the Blood Reaver, and I hope they will satisfy you."

"Don't thank me, because this is your reward for ruining Commorragh."

"I will treat you well, Erebus."

"Believe me, you will regret coming into this world."

P. S.: Sorry, there was a slight mishap, so the update is too late.
