Twilight of the Gods

Vect is a madman!!

Recalling those unbearable days in the other party's hands,

Rebas couldn't help but shiver.

That's fucking terrifying!!

The Dark Eldar used every method at his disposal, which shows how terrifying he was.

Erebus immediately jumped out from the broken part of the Webway.

He was mentally prepared that even if he were swept into the depths of the Warp by the Aetheric Energy flow, he absolutely could not fall into the hands of that madman, Vect.

Vect quickly noticed the commotion, but by the time he ran over, Erebus had already escaped.

Using the flow of Aetheric Energy, they escaped into the depths of the Warp.

He could only rage in vain, helplessly watching the other party escape.

"Finally, we've gotten rid of that guy."

Erebus felt a surge of relief.

He secretly chanted ancient incantations to ward off attacks from monsters in the Warp.

However, the Immaterium were unusually peaceful.

The demons and Warp creatures that once roamed everywhere have now vanished without a trace.

It gives people an indescribable sense of desolation.

"What exactly happened?"

Erebus used an ancient spell to summon a demon.

After several failed attempts, he finally managed to summon a demon engulfed in flames.

Erebus asked what had happened during this time.

"The Eye of Terror the army of the Cursed One, annihilated the Despoiler's forces, and even the demonic sword that bound the 'The Imperium's Destruction' was seized and sealed away by them."

"Nowadays, those Outsider go into the Warp to hunt, slaughter demons, and plunder their essence to strengthen themselves, causing many demons to flee and go into hiding."

Erebus was stunned.

I was locked up for a while, how come so many things have changed?

At that moment, a terrifying sound came.

The fire demon trembled violently, terrified.

"What is that?" Erebus asked.

"They're Outsider; they've come to hunt again."

Hearing this, Erebus felt it was absurd.

Previously, it was always the Warp that invaded the Realspace. How come it's the other way around, with humans actually invading the Realspace?

"Let's go take a look."

Erebus forces demons to obey his commands through rituals.

The demon was very reluctant, but due to the power of the ritual, it still took him there.

The Warp contains many materialized realms, shaped by the collective beliefs or fantasies of ancient races or certain worlds.

Erebus and the demon arrived in a lush Forest and witnessed the Imperium warships burning, killing, and looting the area.

Demons live in the Forest, so they burn down the Forest to force them out.

Then they used warships to shoot them down; the whole process was swift and brutal, like a planned hunt and massacre.

"The Imperium of Man has grown to this extent."

Erebus was dumbfounded.

The greatest advantage of Warp has been lost.

"How are the Chaos Gods doing?"

Erebus lowered his voice and asked the demon beside him.

"They shut down their respective domains and frantically devoured Warp energy to fight against the impending depletion," the demon recounted in detail the recent actions of the four Chaos Gods.

They recruit various powerful Warp creatures to join their ranks, then devour Warp energy to prevent their strength from declining too much due to the loss of Warp energy.

"Even the gods have such a hard time?" Erebus felt a chill in his heart.

"It seems it's time to abandon them and go in search of those eternally existing Extragalactic Old Gods."

Erebus had an idea.

Like Lorgar, he had conducted in-depth research on the Extragalactic Old Gods long ago.

These ancient beings existed even before the birth of the universe, and possessed unimaginable power.

The Chaos Gods were merely a clumsy imitation of them by the Old Ones Saints.

Those Extragalactic Old Gods are the true masters and true controllers of this universe.

The entire Forest was destroyed, and countless demons were captured, becoming materials for players to extract fragments of the laws.

The release of the public beta expansion pack instantly caused a sensation across the internet.

Countless people shouted that it was finally their turn.

On the day of the public beta test, the streets were packed with people.

If it weren't for the rapid development of robotics and various technologies at the Great East during this period...

Even without workers, production can be maintained.

Only timely maintenance and data correction are required.

In order to accommodate people entering the game,

The leadership of Great East urged major state-owned enterprises to accelerate the absorption of technology from the game.

They are launching various unmanned workshops and lights-out factories.

It also distributed living allowances to all social strata, officially ushering in an era where the state supports the entire population.

Nuclear fusion has now been achieved, making energy extremely cheap. The development of various cultivation technologies has led to an unprecedented abundance of food, meat, and dairy products.

Advances in materials science have also driven the development of artificial intelligence, enabling one person to easily complete tasks that previously required thousands of people.

With a large influx of players into Warhammer Online, coupled with the living allowances provided by Great East...

The gaming helmet is free; just make an appointment and it will be delivered to your door the next day.

As long as there is electricity, it can be connected to the internet, so the cost is very low and everyone can enjoy it.

"..."

"You never thought of giving me a raise for a job that pays three thousand yuan, and now you're complaining even when I'm just playing games."

"Master Huang has already helped us endure all the hardships, so what's wrong with us enjoying the good life now?"

"Go into the game, talk to Old Man Emperor, and see if he'll slap you hard."

"..."

The same is true for other countries.

Some tycoons are also attempting to use these technologies to amass even more wealth, demanding that Congress enact various laws.

Who knew those people would ignore them completely and just immigrate?

If you can't go to the Great East, go to the area near the Great East and enjoy the industrial spillover.

The University of Great East has such comprehensive industrial facilities that once nuclear fusion technology is developed, the cost of various materials will be extremely low.

Even if it's industrial spillover, it's enough to support many people.

Without the market, the money of those tycoons becomes useless, and no one is willing to work for them, so they naturally lose their influence.

With oil losing its value, countries stopped scheming, and the world ushered in a long-awaited peace.

Because resources are so abundant, people no longer need to struggle for three meals a day, their mindset is more relaxed, and their anger has decreased significantly.

Therefore, from the day Warhammer Online was released for public testing,

The best of times followed, which many called the Golden Age or the Heavenly Age.

Of course, not everyone is addicted to Warhammer Online; some have become pioneers in real life.

They piloted spaceships produced by Great East to explore the true Void.

Of course, these are all digressions.

It's mainly the players who enter the game.

As soon as the public beta started, they immediately jumped into the game.

Now that the Warhammer Universe has finished the Eye of Terror, all that's left are the insignificant Xenos, Tyranids, and the Gods' Realm.

The remaining ones will be thoroughly messed with by the younger players.

In order to gain experience, all races that could not cooperate with humans were wiped out, and the Tyranids became particularly sought after.

Wherever there's a bug infestation, a shout-out on the world channel will bring a huge horde of players within three hours, all afraid of being too slow and missing out.

The Great Devourer was completely stunned.

This remote galaxy devoured all its tentacles, eating them one by one as they entered, leaving not even a ripple.

This made it start to wonder who its food was.

Cleaning up the Xenos and Zerg is something for low-level players.

Powerful player organizations like Emperor's Cattle, Battle Roses, and Handa Gang are now tasked with conquering the Warp.

They were the ones who carried out the burning, killing, and looting in various parts of the Warp.

After obtaining the fragments of the laws, they were able to ignore the corruption of Chaos and observe the Warp with their own knowledge, thus gaining a foothold in the Warp and hunting Warp creatures and demons.

As they hunted, the once rampant Warp creatures and demons also ushered in their darkest hour.

Their lairs are constantly being destroyed by humans, and their kin become raw materials for humans to become stronger.

This continued for some time.

There are practically no wild demons roaming the Warp anymore.

They either sided with the Chaos Gods, or they have already become raw materials for humanity.

Even the T'au'va was taken care of.

A group of players launched a siege against this newly born god, with the participation of the Eldar Aeldari Gods.

Because it wasn't created by the Old Ones, it couldn't be bound or negotiated from the beginning.

They also do not possess the humanity of Emperor.

It was only the Ethereal of the Tau race Greater Good to make their vassal races worship them.

Essentially, it leans more towards a demon than a god.

If a being like Vashtorr were given the opportunity to ascend to the level of Chaos God, it would do so without hesitation.

Previously, helping the Titanium Group was solely out of a desire to maximize profits.

After all, the Greater Good relies on the Titanium Clan for its maintenance and promotion.

Without the Titanium Clan, the Greater Good would collapse, and it would perish.

That's why they helped the T'au Empire expand its fleet.

In the new era dominated by Imperium of Man, there is naturally no place for such deities.

Therefore, they were quickly surrounded and annihilated.

Ultimately, it was shattered into pieces and became nourishment for the player's advancement.

Farsight did not protest this matter; he was already well aware of the nature of Warp life.

If the T'au'va becomes powerful one day, she will surely try every means to maintain her faith, and may even stifle the creativity of the Tawa race.

Using this incident as a starting point, Farsight offered his allegiance to the Imperium of Man, hoping to gain an opportunity to reproduce and thrive.

In the past, the Tau were one of the few races in the Milky Way that allowed humans to be a vassal race.

They are completely different from those races that readily enslave humans and treat them as food.

The T'au Empire only wanted to rule the Milky Way and never intended to completely exterminate humanity.

Challenging the old Imperium and ruling the Milky Way is a thought that every new race has, and it is not a heinous crime.

Therefore, after careful consideration, the Emperor and Qin Yun agreed to accept the Titans and set aside an area for them to multiply and thrive.

Thus, humanity truly unified the Milky Way, and all races that had even the slightest possibility of challenging the Imperium of Man became Imperium vassals.

The Tyranids were treated like leveling monsters by newbies entering the game, and were slaughtered in droves. Some players even chased them out of the Milky Way to kill them.

When they broke out of the Milky Way to hunt down the Tyranids,

Some novice players stumbled upon the Extragalactic Old Gods that were once feared by the Old Ones.

Their bodies are enormous, with stars merely embellishments on their tentacles; their eyes are larger than the largest superblue giant in the Milky Way, an absurdity.

Human warships are like dust in their presence.

When they looked at these young players, the young players all disconnected from the game.

Their power was too great, affecting the dimensional connection, and these smaller players were not strong enough to maintain their own connection, resulting in them being forcibly disconnected.

However, these Extragalactic Old Gods were blocked by an unseen force and were unable to enter the Milky Way.

The edge of this force is the edge of the Warp.

After leaving the edge of the Warp, one enters the Primordial Immaterium.

The Primordial Immaterium will not hinder the Extragalactic Old Gods.

The appearance of the Extragalactic Old Gods has also sparked much discussion among players.

They also solved the long-standing puzzle.

For example, does Warp only exist in the Milky Way?

"Warp truly only exists in the Milky Way."

"Beyond the Warp lies the true Primordial Immaterium, which is even more chaotic and unbearable than the Warp."

"..."

As for why the Aeldari and the Necrontyr didn't come into contact with these Extragalactic Old Gods in the past,

That's because the Warp radiation range used to be very large.

It not only covers the entire Milky Way, but also radiates outwards to tens or even hundreds of thousands of light-years.

These races had never been to such a far place, so naturally they couldn't see it.

However, as Time Catastrophe and natural disasters occur, and the Aetheric Phase Engine continues to operate, the edge of the Warp is gradually shrinking.

The Extragalactic Old Gods are closer to the Milky Way, which is why they can be observed by players who have ventured out of the Milky Way.

"I thought that would be the end of the story after the Chaos Four Gods were defeated, but who would have thought there would be Extragalactic Old Gods."

"This is so awesome!"

"It feels like we're going to fight Cthulhu."

"It looks like after we finish fighting the Chaos Four Gods, we'll have to fight the Extragalactic Old Gods."

"It feels like I'm about to challenge the Lord of the Universe."

"..."

Players were very excited about this, believing it to be a pre-planned storyline by the game's official operations team.

This is so that after the Fourth Calamity has finished wreaking havoc on the Milky Way, they'll have somewhere to continue wreaking havoc.

It even lays the groundwork for the plot, setting the stage for a future journey into a wider universe.

Qin Yun and the Emperor were not so optimistic, after all, the Extragalactic Old Gods were far more powerful than the Chaos Gods.

A slight misstep could cause everything to go down the drain.
