Damo's Unfulfilled Longing

"You are just like the Corpse Emperor, arrogant to an astonishing degree, and haughty beyond compare."

Erebus gazed at the God Chosen before him.

"Don't praise me like that, it makes me blush." Damo gave a shy smile.

Erebus and his group of Possessed Marines were so frustrated they were about to vomit blood!

You bunch of guys can't even tell the difference between good and bad advice, huh?

Are these words a compliment?

Are arrogance and pride good words?

"One day, you will regret it. No one can overcome the will of the gods. Even you who come from higher dimensions are no exception. The gods are the true controllers of this universe."

Erebus's voice was very deep.

He was making one last attempt to use his persuasive skills to draw these people to the side of the gods.

However, his efforts were destined to be in vain.

Damo revealed a mocking expression and said, word by word.

"No being can resist the Fourth Calamity, not even God."

"We are the ultimate masters of this universe, and we can only be the masters."

"Go, take care of those Possessed Marines at all costs. Oh, Erebus must be alive. We absolutely cannot let him die."

"Kill! For the Emperor! For the Blood God!" A World Eaters player raised his crimson battle axe and roared with excitement.

Then, Erebus felt Khorne's blessing fall upon the opponent's battle axe.

Not only Khorne, but also the powers of Chaos Gods such as the Lord of Change, the Prince of Pleasure, and the Plague God appeared on the weapons of other God Chosen.

As long as these God Chosen utter the corresponding name of the Chaos God, their weapons will be blessed.

What the hell is this?!

Have the Chaos Gods already defected to the enemy?

For a moment, Erebus even wondered if he had been abandoned by the gods.

It should be understood that even for a traitor of Chaos, obtaining the blessings of the gods is very difficult and requires going through many trials.

These God Chosen can easily receive blessings simply by calling out the names of the gods.

You must know, they are all loyal to the Corpse Emperor!

The actions of the Chaos Gods are tantamount to aiding the enemy!

We were ready to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first?

Clang~ Clang~

The sounds of clashing cold weapons and close combat were incessant, ringing out loudly.

"Master, we cannot stop them."

Cole Badal, the Possessed Marines, shouted,

Every Possessed Marines is the most wicked, the most loyal, and the most dangerous warrior.

They wore Terminator Armour, radiating a terrifying red light, and their combat power was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

The first Possessed Marines were born before Horus betrayed them.

The most famous Possessed Marines among them was Angron Tai.

It was also he who led the team on a pilgrimage into the Eye of Terror, bringing the will of the gods to Lorgar.

This legendary warrior was one of the first to come into contact with Chaos and one of the first to be possessed by a demon.

However, he managed to control Raum, the demon with whom he had a soul bond, thanks to his strong willpower.

Angron Tai can switch freely between human and demon forms while maintaining absolute control over his body.

In Lorgar's eyes, Angron Tai is the best example of humanity coexisting with Chaos.

In his later years, Angron Tey became the most favored son of the Lorgar.

According to Prescience, this legendary Word Bearers will perish at the hands of Sanguinius during the Siege of Terra.

But Erebus showed everyone through his actions Prescience prophecies can be changed with enough effort.

If you want to achieve a certain future, you have to work hard yourself, not wait passively.

During the ascension ritual of Angron, which was also the destruction and massacre of Nuceria, the Primarch of this unfortunate World Eaters Primarch,

Erebus seized the opportunity and killed Angron Tai, enraging Lorgar.

This also led Kharn, who later learned of this, to harbor murderous intent towards Erebus and challenge him to a duel.

However, Erebus lacked martial ethics; when he lost a duel, he would teleport away, which made him a laughing stock.

Possessed Marines are a testament to absolute loyalty to Chaos.

Those Fanaticism warriors made a pact with the Warp creatures by sacrificing their own bodies.

For mortal hosts, they gained even greater power.

For demons, the flesh and blood of their host allows them to remain in physical form outside the Warp.

The two have formed a mutually beneficial whole.

For the past ten thousand years, Possessed Marines, with their unique abilities, have been a nightmare for the Imperium.

However, with the rise of Primaris Marines, Possessed Marines are no longer as advantageous as before.

Fierce gunfire erupted.

The artillery and machine guns locked onto the Word Bearers opened fire in succession, leaving the traitors utterly helpless.

Faced with overwhelming firepower, Possessed Marines in its normal state had no chance to fight back.

In an attempt to turn the tide of battle, they all activated their demonic transformation.

In the demonized state, the will of the demon will take over.

With a strange scream, a burst of red light erupted.

The Possessed Marines's body grew strong, sharp claws that could easily pierce through Plasteel and steel.

Bizarre, twisted limbs, tentacles, wings, extra mouths, and eyes.

Their speed and strength have been greatly enhanced, allowing them to easily lift heavy vehicles and machinery and throw them at the player.

But the players aren't pushovers either.

Their rich combat experience transformed them into elite veterans.

Their advanced technology grants them strength and speed far exceeding those of ordinary humans.

Their amplification skills and the Emperor's Blessing give them combat power comparable to that of Possessed Marines.

The players and the Possessed Marines engaged in an extremely fierce battle.

Both sides are evenly matched in combat strength and possess a variety of strange and unusual skills.

"Today, you will all die."

Shouting in the Damo,

He was ganging up on a Possessed Marines with horns on his back with two other players.

The other person was extremely burly and strong, with bloodshot eyes that gleamed with an evil light.

However, under the combined attack of the three players, the Possessed Marines was repeatedly defeated and routed, eventually being pinned to the ground.

"You will all be cursed by the gods."

"I'll be waiting for you in hell."

The Possessed Marines roared furiously, glaring angrily at the players in the Damo.

"Hell? Hell is where we are, you fool."

The Damo warrior swung his sword, beheading the Possessed Marines and ending his evil life.

The demon was banished back to the Warp, while the body belonging to the Word Bearers warrior died headless.

The Possessed Marines defeated some players, but even more players pounced on them.

Defeat them with numerical superiority.

As time went by, one Possessed Marines another fell.

The demons fled back to the Warp in disgrace, and along the way, they devoured the souls of the dead Word Bearers as a treat.

"You'll regret this!" Erebus shouted angrily as he watched his men fall one after another.

"Maybe, but you won't live to see that day. Because you will spend every day in despair, and even your god won't be able to save you."

"Because the Fourth Calamity is invincible, because the Fourth Calamity is destined to rule this universe, and whether it is God or anything else, they will all kneel at our feet."

The Damo exudes a powerful aura as he shouts and brandishes his sword, striding towards Erebus.

To be honest, I really enjoy this feeling.

Especially when facing these special NPCs, there is a kind of NPC who tramples everything that the other party values underfoot.

That kind of pleasure is like watching an incompetent husband steal away his beautiful wife, and all he can do is stand there in a helpless rage, unable to do anything about it.

However, Erebus's cunning was beyond imagination.

He took out a dagger, and with a casual slash, opened a crack that emitted an eerie glow.

He fled into the crevice with a few guards.

When the Damo swept past, the crack disappeared, leaving only an empty deck.

The few Possessed Marines who remained were quickly defeated, killed, or captured.

"Erebus must have escaped back to his warship. Activate the teleportation immediately; we can't let him escape."

He shouted from the Damo, issuing orders.

The players, without bothering to clean up the corpses on the ground, rushed to the Teleportarium Hall, preparing to board the ship and capture Erebus alive.

The fleet also opened fire on the Word Bearers' warships, attempting to disable their defensive shields and Warp Field.

"Brothers, let's capture Erebus live on air!"

As we headed to the Teleportarium Hall, a player started a live stream in the World Chat Channel.

At first, the other players thought that Damo and the others were joking.

Even if Erebus is stupid, he wouldn't go so far as to walk right into the line of fire.

However, as videos and photos were uploaded, they were forced to admit that it was true.

Warmaster: "Is Erebus an idiot?"

Little Alpaca: "Why send someone to the Damo? Can't you come here?"

Ten-Timer: "I'm so angry I'm shivering!!"

Lobster: "I'm clearly also in the Koronus Expanse."

"..."

Damo: "Brothers, wait for my good news. Once I capture Erebus alive and bring him back to Terra, I'll definitely throw a few tables to celebrate."

"..."

Inside the Teleportarium Hall,

With the roar of machinery, the flash of teleportation covered the Damo and the group of players.

The surrounding environment was distorted; when everything returned to normal...

They have arrived at the Word Bearers' warship.

The interior of the warship was eerie and terrifying, with billowing steam gushing from the pipes.

The steam was mixed with a strong smell of incense, sweat, and decay.

"What a disgusting place."

"I feel a little nauseous."

"It stinks even worse than Ork's lair!!"

The players complained as they made their way deeper into the ship.

Along the way, they encountered many monsters and Chaos Cultist.

These enemies were easily torn to shreds by the players.

Only a few Word Bearers were able to stop them, but the final outcome was still defeat.

Soon, players from the Damo and others reached the core depths of the Word Bearers warship.

Here, Erebus is leading the Oracle in Chaos ritual.

A vortex radiating light appeared above the altar, clearly a Chaos Portal capable of instantaneous teleportation.

"No!! Damn it."

"Erebus, you coward, stay and fight me."

Realizing that the other party was trying to escape, Damo immediately ran towards where Erebus was, trying to stop this scoundrel.

However, it was still too late.

Erebus turned his head and looked at the Damo. "We will meet again soon, and at that time, you will regret what you have done today."

Then, he stepped into the vortex formed by the altar and disappeared.

The players wielded their swords, slaying the Oracle and destroying the altar.

But Erebus ultimately escaped.

"No!!"

He knelt on the ground in the Damo, crying out in grief.

"Snowflakes are falling, the north wind is howling..."

A song began to play, setting the scene perfectly.

The howling Damo stopped, and looked at its companion who was playing music with a dark expression, its gaze slightly unfriendly.

The same is true of how others see it;

The player looked slightly embarrassed. "I was thinking of playing some music to set the mood."

He got up from the Damo and asked, "Where are you from?"

"Binjiang."

"Once he logs off, send a few people to drag him to the island, then throw him into the sea and let him swim back."

"I'm annoyed," Damo said.

"No, boss! I've served the organization, I've shed blood for the organization, you can't do this to me!!"

"..."

After a round of banter, the group, who were initially in a bad mood, stopped paying attention to Erebus's escape.

As the number one evil seed in the entire Warhammer Universe, a major instigator of the Horus Heresy, and the man with the highest participation rate in the Siege of Terra,

If it were that easy to catch someone, they would have been killed by those Imperium heroes long ago, and wouldn't be able to keep running around like this.

Damo also shared this story on the chat channel.

Warmaster and other players immediately opened champagne to celebrate.

When they learned that the guy Erebus had appeared in front of the players in the Damo, they all beat their chests and regretted not going to Koronus Expanse.

After all, capturing Erebus alive would yield an enormous Warfare Score.

If the group in the Damo went through countless hardships to find Erebus, then that would be one thing.

But Erebus offered itself up to them.

It's hard not to suspect that this guy, Damo, hijacked the Warhammer Online operations team to create this kind of storyline.

Now, upon learning that the group in the Damo had failed and that Erebus had escaped, they were naturally overjoyed.

This means they have a chance.

In response, Damo also gave these guys a good scornful look in the chat channel.

The Erebus incident was ultimately just a minor episode.

After clearing out the remaining Chaos warships and making arrangements for the rescued slaves,

Damo then led his fleet to Longtooth Star, preparing to annihilate the Orks of the Koronus Expanse.

The fleet sailed through the turbulent Immaterium and arrived at the airspace where Longtooth Star was located several days later.

By this time, the Orks had assembled an enormous force.

The three remaining Ork Warlord of the Koronus Expanse also gathered on Longtooth Star.

The two sides will engage in a massive war here.

At the edge of the battlefield, an Aeldari warship hovered in the dark Void, far from the battlefield.

Several Farseer from the world of Iyanden's Craftworld are observing the assembled human army.

As the oldest race in the Milky Way, it's impossible that they were completely unaware of such a large-scale military mobilization by humanity.

"Erebus has escaped, but he's still in the Koronus Expanse. It seems these foolish Mon-keigh need some help."

Ella Ashbell, the chief Farseer of the Craftworld, lowered her voice and muttered to herself.

She will warn humanity and reveal the whereabouts of Erebus to them.
