Erebus Is Loyal??

At the Dark Throne in Commorragh.

Many players in the Emperor's Cattle Warband were furious.

That damned Erebus is like an eel, slippery and elusive, always on the run.

In just a short while, he used the Dagger of Venom to cut through space and time and escape.

"I should have known better than to chase after Vect."

The Warmaster was somewhat disappointed.

It doesn't matter whether Vect is arrested or not.

Without Commorragh, this Supreme Overlord was largely crippled and could no longer pose any threat to the Imperium.

Erebus is different; this guy is incredibly mischievous.

If he escapes, who knows what kind of schemes and tricks he'll bring when he reappears.

Furthermore, the evil deeds committed by Erebus warrant even the most severe punishment of being torn to pieces.

Letting that scoundrel escape alive is a source of deep regret for every player.

"Remember this: next time you see Erebus, hit his hands first, don't let that bastard escape with the Dagger of Venom again."

Ten-Timer analyzed the mistakes made in this battle.

The biggest problem is that Erebus's limbs were not broken to seal his psionic energy.

Everyone was so focused on hitting that bad guy that they didn't think things through calmly, which gave the other side an opportunity to take advantage.

Other players also joined in the conversation on this topic.

"That's right. If we had broken Erebus's hand from the beginning, this guy definitely wouldn't have been able to escape."

"Have Dora Workshop develop a device that can imprison time and space, so that we can prevent the enemy from escaping."

"We really need to come up with a way to deal with the enemy using spatial manipulation to escape."

"Ten-Timer, you need to learn some binding spells."

"..."

Erebus ran away.

Players can only direct their anger at the enemies still on the battlefield.

They activated their thrusters and flew towards the battlefield, ready to unleash a massacre.

The battlefield was still in complete chaos.

The various forces are locked in a fierce battle.

The armies of Tzeentch and Khorne are still locked in fierce combat.

Orks and Tyranid were also joining in the fun.

Only the Herald of Torment Zarakynel and the Plaguefather Kugath continue their demonic army's attack on the Dark Throne.

They want to stop humans and the Craftworld Aeldari from repairing Commorragh and gain control of the Webway.

The two Greater Daemons were speechless at the antics of Kairos and Angrath.

That little grudge, I can get revenge anytime.

They insist on starting an internal conflict and killing each other at this critical juncture.

Once the minions of the Cursed One take over Commorragh, the previously unfulfilled Webway Project will be restarted.

You must know, humans are the largest race in the Milky Way.

Once the Webway Project succeeds, the Warp will be devoid of human emotional reflections, and the demons will have to endure a miserable existence of going hungry for three days straight.

Therefore, humans must never engage in Webway; they must be content to be used as resources and nourishment for the Warp.

Humans have created the Webway, so what will the demon lords eat? What will they play?

These humans are so wicked; they actually thought of starving so many creatures in the Warp to death.

Zarakynel and Kugath, who were fighting against humans, seemed to be on the same wavelength.

They looked up at the same time, meeting each other's gazes in unison.

The moment their eyes met, a hint of mutual appreciation arose between the two Greater Daemons.

But soon, Zarakynel grew disgusted by Kugath's bloated, obese, and foul-smelling appearance as a recluse.

"Once the war is over, you'll be the first one I kill, you fatso, you little devil."

"How dare someone so ugly stay in the Warp?!"

Zarakynel was plotting when to find an opportunity to stab Kugath a couple of times.

The existence of Nurgle and his gang is nothing short of a desecration of the Warp.

"Abusing toxins, taking pleasure in killing lives, ignoring the natural cycle, sooner or later I'll drag you, you bitch, into the Garden to be used as fertilizer."

Kugath also disliked Zarakynel.

What kind of person Prince of Pleasure? He doesn't even deserve to eat at the same table as his Grandfather Nurgle.

Both of the Greater Daemon had their own ulterior motives.

If it weren't for the immense threat posed by the Cursed One controlling the Webway, it wouldn't be possible.

I'm afraid the two of them will start fighting right now, trying to figure out how to knock the other's brain out.

"Go attack Kugath."

"Kugath is an old acquaintance of ours, so don't hold back."

"Beat Kugath until he shits, then beat him into the shit."

"Ugh!! Isn't Kugath just a pile of shit?"

"..."

Players like Warmaster have experienced the Battle of the Goliath Hive City in Automata.

There they encountered Kugath, who had been summoned by the plague cultists.

At that time, none of them had yet become Astartes.

The battle against Kugath was very difficult; even the Living Saint almost perished there.

Things are different now than they used to be.

They have now completed their second job advancement, becoming Primaris Marines, and are further enhanced with various skills.

Players shouted various slogans, used their thrusters to take off, and entered the battlefield.

At this moment, Kugath was fighting with the Brother Captain Stern.

Several Adeptus Custodes and Silent Sisterhood assisted him.

Whoosh!

Clang~~

Kugath strode forward, his massive, bloated body wielding his rusty greatsword.

As it fell, it was powerful and heavy, with a sharp sound as it cut through the air.

The Brother Captain Stern his sword to parry, producing a clanging sound.

"I hate the smell of you." Kugath stuck out his fat tongue, which was covered in pustules and parasites, and as he spoke, an indescribable stench emanated from his mouth.

"Go back to the Warp, then you won't have to hate me anymore."

The radiance emanating from the Brother Captain Stern Purification the foul smell.

Otherwise, the smell alone would be enough to make people lose their fighting ability.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Several Adeptus Custodes guards not far away aimed their halberds at Kugath and unleashed a barrage of bullets that struck his massive body.

"That hurts!" Kugath yelled, shooting a filthy beam of light from his mouth that Brother Captain Stern flying.

Then, Kugath looked at the Adeptus Custodes.

"You will also have to taste my pain."

His tongue sprang out like a frog's, grabbed one of the Adeptus Custodes, and flung him away.

The Adeptus Custodes mutated rapidly while still in the air.

The sturdy and lustrous Phlogopite armor corroded and rusted rapidly, as if millions of years had passed in an instant.

The flesh inside also rotted rapidly.

Bang!

The Adeptus Custodes slammed into the wall and turned into a pile of rotting, rusty flesh and scrap iron.

"I am Kugath, the Plaguefather, the master of disease. In this universe, there are very few who can defeat me."

At that moment, the players arrived.

They opened fire on Kugath, and a barrage of explosives landed on the bloated, rotting mountain of flesh, blasting out sticky bits of meat.

"Don't let the many bully the few; that's not fair."

Kugath looked around and found that there were more and more humans around him.

"So what if I bully you, you fatso?!" Warmaster shouted.

The thrusters on his back give him exceptional mobility, allowing him to circle around Kugath and attack.

"Then I'll need to find some help."

As Kugath spoke, the Dark Eldar architecture, covered in spikes and blades, became sticky.

The Plaguebearers crawled out and threw flasks filled with plague at the humans, tying down the players and the Adeptus Custodes who were besieging Kugath.

"Demon, go back to the Warp."

The Brother Captain Stern got up and ran towards where Kugath was.

The radiance emanating from him grew even stronger.

The weapon in his hand also emitted a strong light.

He looked like a god of war from mythology.

The Brother Captain Stern leaped up and slashed at Kugath with his longsword, but it was blocked, producing a clanging sound.

"Didn't anyone tell you that you're annoying, little servant of the Corpse Emperor?"

Kugath kept talking.

That mouth has never stopped talking since the start of the war.

It launched a counterattack, spinning the greatsword over its head before striking down.

The Brother Captain Stern jumped aside, Kugath's weapon fell to the ground, creating a terrible crater.

Several lesser demons pounced on him, but he pulverized their bodies with his psionic energy.

Do you think you can win?

Kugath raised his ailing paw and launched an attack.

As the Greater Daemon attacked, the Brother Captain Stern slashed fiercely, his claws colliding with the blade, creating a shockwave.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Warmaster Shuai launched an attack, slashing Kugath's thigh with his sword, leaving a shocking wound.

"A shameful sneak attack."

Kugath cried out in pain and raised his sword to strike the Warmaster who had ambushed him.

Clang!

Warmaster swung his sword to parry, and when the blow landed, he felt as if his internal organs were about to shift.

The power of this sword is ridiculously exaggerated.

During the collision, Warmaster felt as if he were wrestling with a train.

When Kugath wanted to launch a second attack

The Brother Captain Stern out and released a powerful beam of psionic energy, deflecting the falling sword.

"Damn it, can't you guys just stick to one-on-one?" Kugath was furious, glaring at the arrogant Brother Captain Stern.

Ten-Timer knocked down the Plague Walker that attacked him, then opened fire on Kugath.

The other players did the same, running and shooting at the same time.

Explosive bombs and Melta combined to form a dense network of fire.

It landed on Kugath's body, splashing out black slime.

"Damn the Corpse Emperor's minions, why do they always like to gang up on the weak?!"

Kugath muttered, took a deep breath, and then exhaled, spewing a filthy torrent at the players.

Ten-Timer blocked it with his psychic powers.

The Twisted Man and the Turtle were not so lucky.

The plague corroded their armor, and maggots crawled into the cracks.

"This is disgusting. Disintegration Technique activated."

"Make way, everyone, I'm here."

The Twisted Man limped toward Kugath.

"Grand Master, get out of the way!" Warmaster shouted at Brother Captain Stern.

The Brother Captain Stern was confused about the situation, but he still lunged to the side, putting some distance between himself and Kugath.

Boom!

As soon as he approached Kugath, the Twisted Man activated his self-destruct system.

The terrifying explosion generated a visible shockwave, forcing everyone to seek cover or duck to reduce the impact area.

The raging flames engulfed Kugath.

After the flames and blast wave dissipated, a charred, deep crater appeared in the smoke-filled explosion site, which had become vitrified due to the high temperature.

"Damn it, is this all the bastards know?"

Kugath's voice came from the smoke.

The Greater Daemon's vitality is unimaginable; even after suffering so many attacks and being hit at close range by the detonated fusion energy reactor, it still managed to survive.

"For the God-Emperor."

Without hesitation, the Turtle jumped into the deep pit and initiated its self-destruct sequence.

Boom!

Another earth-shattering explosion followed.

The Brother Captain Stern stared, completely stunned.

These guys are unbelievably loyal!!

I really need to learn from them!

"Is this all the tricks you have?"

Kugath's voice came from the deep pit.

He crawled out of the deep pit using both his hands and feet.

The bloated and massive body was broken and fragmented, with bones covered in fungal growth visible in some places.

"They're still alive after all this? Everyone says the N-Party is incredibly resilient. I used to have some doubts, but now I truly believe it."

Ten-Timer couldn't help but marvel at the sight of Kugath crawling out.

The previous attacks were enough to completely drive out the other Greater Daemon, but Kugath withstood them all.

"Go back to the Warp."

The massive Old Thirteen charged forward, each step causing the ground to tremble.

He possessed unimaginable spiritual power.

"Ogryn? He has psionic abilities!!"

The arrogant Brother Captain Stern stopped charging forward, his eyes wide open.

Ah!!

Am I crazy, or is the world crazy?

Brother Captain Stern is the 48th Supreme Grand Master of the Grey Knights Chapter, and his full name is Kaldor Diego. He is a legendary human.

In the Battle of Kornovin in 901. M41, Mortarion, appearing in the real world, wreaked havoc on the Grey Knights.

The Brother Captain Stern witnessed the tragic deaths of his mentor and senior colleagues.

Enraged, he received enlightenment from the Emperor and discovered Mortarion's true name.

Using his real name, he defeated Mortarion and even had the former Grand Master's name engraved on his chest.

In addition to banishing Mortarion, he also exiled the Reborn M'kar, who then used a curse to Warp.

He always maintained his purity and performed many great feats.

This includes, but is not limited to, storming into the Brass Domain, slaughtering demons, and piling their heads into a mound, with the head of a Khorne Daemon Prince on top.

Kill the six Wych chosen by Slaanesh.

The Crystal Fortress of the Lord of Change

Setting fire to the corrupt Forest that Nurgle, and so on.

The Brother Captain Stern considered himself someone who had seen a lot in life.

Having spent so much time in the Realspace and then in the Warp, I've seen it all.

But the scene shows Ogryn charging forward while unleashing his psionic energy.

Sorry, he really had never seen it before.

Old Thirteen crashed into the injured Kugath like an out-of-control heavy truck, knocking him over.

Kugath screamed angrily, grabbed the Old Thirteen's leg and threw him away.

The Old Thirteen spun in the air, crashing through wall after wall, and finally came to a stop after smashing through a huge pillar.

Even Ogryn could not withstand Nurgle's plague.

The Old Thirteen struggled to get up, but his body disintegrated at a visible speed, turning into a pile of bloody pus.

After staggering a few steps, the massive Ogryn body collapsed with a thud and never moved again.

Kugath successfully secured the first kill.

But his situation was also very bad.

Just as he got up, the Brother Captain Stern leaped up and pierced his body with the sword in his hand.

The Cursed One's power surged into his body through the sword, causing him excruciating pain.

"I'm going to kill you, the Corpse Emperor's little bastard."

Kugath Brother Captain Stern away and spewed out a stream of dark green filth, forcing Warmaster and the other players back.

"Feel the wrath of humanity!!"

The Little Fatty, piloting the First Generation Gundam, crashes through shattered buildings and makes his entrance wielding Power Spear.

Before Kugath could react, he was pierced by the spear and pinned to the ground.

Then, a host of Imperium heroes rushed forward and hacked him to pieces.

Kugath's soul fled back to his Garden of Nurgle, where the envious demons mocked him.

This infuriated Kugath, who vowed that the next time he entered the Realspace, he would show those guys his power and methods.

With Kugath exiled, the pressure suddenly fell on Zarakynel.

She had a slight advantage in the fight against Little Fulgrim.

She struggled to hold on when the Living Saint Celestine joined the fight.

Now that Brother Captain Stern and Warmaster and other players are rushing over, it would be a miracle if they could win.

The group of people swarmed forward.

Zarakynel, with only three hands, was no match for the group. After being knocked down, he was brutally beaten.

"I will definitely come back."

Zarakynel screamed hysterically before being exiled.

"What kind of trash dares to say that?! Do you think you're the Wolftail King of the Qingqing Grassland?"

"Besides, if you dare to enter the Realspace even once, we'll beat you up every time, until you start to doubt your existence."

Ten-Timer spoke with disdain.

His words made the players burst into laughter.

The Brother Captain Stern and Celestine couldn't understand, but they could sense that the God Chosen were mocking the demons, so they laughed along.

Zarakynel felt humiliated, and she roared in anger.

However, it doesn't change anything.

Ultimately, her body was shattered, and her soul was banished back to the Warp.

The leader of the Greater Daemon was defeated, but the remaining demons did not flee or collapse. Instead, they continued to scream, determined to win.

However, Eldrad Ulthran and Craftworld Aeldari continuously repaired the rifts, causing these demons to grow weaker and weaker.

With the added power of the Gork and Mork and the Great Devourer's will, the Chaos Daemon kept losing its way and was eventually driven out of the battlefield.

While clearing out demons and traitors, players acquired an unexpected loot.

STC Panacea.

The Word Bearers Possessed Marines, brought to the battlefield by Erebus, attempted to evacuate with this STC.

However, it was targeted by players who killed it and obtained its loot.

This STC belongs to Trex, the Blood Reaver Performer from Erebus.

I originally intended to use it as bait to fish for the Imperium.

However, because of the need to raid the Dark Throne, it was entrusted to his subordinates for safekeeping.

The raid failed, and the players who returned beat them up.

In his hasty escape with the Dagger of Venom, he for some unknown reason failed to return to his men.

Ultimately, the STC ended up in the hands of the players.

When Ten-Timer used his precognitive abilities to figure out why the Panacea STC had ended up in the hands of the Possessed Marines, he was quite surprised.

"Good heavens, could it be that this Erebus is in the Chaos but his heart is in the Imperium? Without him, this Panacea would never have returned to us."

If Erebus hadn't gone to steal the Panacea STC, the Blood Reaver would definitely have taken it with him.

If you steal it and then immediately send it away, the Imperium won't get it either.

If it's about to be stolen, destroy it immediately, and humanity will have gained nothing.

Coincidentally, Erebus stole it, but instead of giving it away, he entrusted it to his subordinates for safekeeping.

After the raid on the Dark Throne, his whereabouts became unknown.

Those Possessed Marines dared not make a decision on their own.

They could only risk their lives to protect the Panacea STC and try to take it away.

Ultimately, these Possessed Marines lost their lives, and STC fell into the hands of the Imperium.

After learning from Ten-Timer the Panacea STC became the spoils of the Imperium, Warmaster and other players were dumbfounded.

"First, Abaddon opened the Great Rift, allowing the Emperor to increase his interference in the Realspace. Then, Khayon traveled all the way to Terra to warn the Crimson Path, fearing that the Imperium might not be prepared. Now, Erebus is sending humanity the Panacea, STC."

"What do you mean by 'indirect loyalty'? This is 'indirect loyalty'! I never imagined so many people were bearing the burden for the Imperium in the Chaos!!"

"Everyone in the Milky Way is loyal to Orange!!"

"Erect some statues of Erebus in the Eye of Terror, and write that he is the Emperor's most loyal servant."

PS: Another 5,000 words. I'll try to post the second chapter before 5 PM.
