The Primarch Battle Watched by Khorne: Twin Born, Valiant

Qi, Technique

In the Empyrean beyond the Veil, the figure on the Brass Throne watches as two brothers charge toward their enemies, Spear in hand.

Alpharius and Omega.

He watched with delight as the despicable Chief Librarian Gukur, who was following in their footsteps, suddenly shuddered, knelt on one knee, and retched inside his helmet.

The Slaugth-kin's body enveloped the Primarch brothers, and he swung his scepter, clashing it against Alpharius's Pale Spear.

Alpharius's arm went numb. He tried to grip the Spear tightly, but the Slaugth-kin's strength was beyond imagination, and the Spear flew out of his hand.

A barrage of explosives came from the right, and Gukur and the other Alpha opened fire.

The Slaugth-kin creature shrank back, and the bullet whizzed past its side.

With an outstretched arm, it suddenly grabbed, the necrotic fluid instantly burning through the armor, the energy tearing Alpharius's flesh apart.

Alpharius was in excruciating pain; he had experienced burning and acid corrosion before, but now it was the molecules of his body that were being torn apart.

Flesh and blood melted away, damaging the bones.

The Primarch was not completely incapacitated; he returned fire.

A hole as thick as the Primarch's thigh was opened in the Slaugth-kin's torso, Plasma Gun burned through a large clump of maggots.

Alpharius's body began to regenerate, but his rapid self-healing was not as fast as the wriggling maggots.

While the flesh and blood on his right chest were still re-weaving on the bone, his strength was no match for the Slaugth-kin.

A maggot-like arm lashed towards his head, but Alpharius watched calmly and shifted to the side.

The hissing Power Lance pierced through the worm's arm, the handle held by Omega.

Alpharius reclaims the Pale Spear and stands shoulder to shoulder with Omega.

They moved in unison, back to back, with two heads and four arms, wielding two Spear.

Alpharius blocked the incoming Necrosis Ray with his Pale Spear, while Omega retaliated by piercing the attacker who tried to attack his brother through the gaps in his armor.

Alpharius's spear tip slashed through the worm's legs that had spread to his brother's feet, and Omega raised his spear and pierced the worm's arm, stopping the scepter from falling.

Omega dodged, Alpharius swung his spear.

"Now I understand why some of our brothers are so passionate about fighting," Alpharius said to Omega was breathing in sync with him. "The experience is completely different when you're whole."

Khorne watched the brothers huddled together, completely trusting each other without any wariness.

They are the same soul residing in different bodies; when they are whole, they are far more powerful than fighting alone.

As the offense and defense shifted, the Slaugth-kin sustained more and more wounds.

"Two bodies in one body, perfectly in sync."

In His vision, the cobalt blue figure also charged towards the enemy.

The moment the Slaugth-kin tore through Marius Gage Cobalt Armor, Robert Guilliman's rage boiled over.

The Bolter mounted on the Hand of Dominion roared incessantly, each shot hitting a different spot on the Xenos.

The Slaugth-kin twisted and dodged most of the attacks, but a bomb still exploded on his left arm.

He paid no attention to his injuries, raised his scepter, and emerald energy shimmered around it.

Guilliman couldn't discern its firing method; he only heard a hissing sound, and his Iron Halo luckily deflected the attack.

The deflected rays unfortunately struck the Honor Guard members clad in Cobalt Armor.

The Cobalt Armor crackled and melted under the Corrosion of the necrotic solution.

Guilliman roared when he saw the exposed bones of his offspring.

The Hand of Dominion activated with arcs of electricity, and a smooth blue light field enveloped the enormous mechanical finger and the Bolter suspended below it.

He charged forward, but with a strange hissing sound, he was struck by the evil beam of light, and this time his Iron Halo did not work.

The excruciating Affliction of burning and acid corrosion caused Guilliman to let out a roar.

He lost all feeling in his left arm.

The Primarch had not completely lost his ability to move; he forced his numb fingers to pull the trigger, firing a dense barrage of bullets at the Xenos.

The Slaugth-kin was short and flat, and bullets whizzed past him.

The shadows began to spread and re-form before Guilliman could make his next move.

He swung his cane at Guilliman, who raised his arm, which had just regained feeling.

As the Power Fist collided with the Necrotic Staff, Guilliman felt the Xenos's power was terrifyingly great, and his ravaged left arm was torn apart in excruciating pain.

Guilliman raised his right hand and grabbed the Xenos's right arm.

Maggots wriggled under Guilliman's grip, and his gauntlet began to smoke as necrotic fluid corroded the Plasteel and seeped into his skin.

The Slaugth-kin swung his scepter and smashed Guilliman to the ground. "Meatball, your death is nigh."

The speech-pronouncing device emitted barely legible Low Gothic, its hissing sound like it was filled with mucus.

"I will enjoy your flesh and blood; hopefully, it will be delicious enough."

"Xenos, die!" With a roar, the Primarch's Honor Guard surged from both sides, unleashing a barrage of bullets at the Slaugth-kin.

The maggots burst open, forcing the Maggot-men to abandon his food.

The Honor Guard rushed to Guilliman's side, forming a shield wall to buy him time to stand up.

The Slaugth-kin emitted a sound similar to a human's chuckle as it slid into the Honor Guard.

Maggots multiplied, and his wounds healed faster than the Primarch gene.

Guilliman roared as he watched his offspring being pierced by evil beams and torn apart by worm arms.

The Hand of Dominion slammed heavily to the ground. He grabbed an Armor-Piercing Grenade and stepped over the last fallen Honor Guard member.

The shockwave sent cobalt blue, mangled corpses flying and also sent the Slaugth-kin soaring into the air.

"A chunk of meat."

Guilliman's chest was gripped by the worm's arm, but his eyes were fixed on the Xenos slaughtering the Honor Guard.

A blue light hissed as it tore through the necrotic cloak, and the Hand of Dominion slammed heavily into the worm's body.

Guilliman activated the Armor-Piercing Grenade and threw it into the slimy cavity, where frantically wriggling maggots tried to spit it out in terror.

Guilliman raised his right arm and slammed it down.

The Armor-Piercing Grenade was smashed into the Xenos's body, and Guilliman's right arm was also engulfed in pus.

The Armor-Piercing Grenade exploded, Slaugth-kin's body to pieces.

Clumps of worms scattered and splashed onto the Cobalt Armor.

The Corrosion liquid eroded the Primarch's armor and tore his flesh apart.

The regenerative abilities of the Primarch struggled against the necrotic forces that had invaded the body, and Guilliman looked sadly at the scattered corpses around him.

He staggered and fell, but was caught by Glenn Worsotto who rushed over.

The imposing figure on the Brass Throne uttered a single word of admiration. "Courage!"

He turned his gaze to the last person.

His hair was disheveled, his sword was stained with blood, and his eyes gleamed with the light of battle.

The black terracotta armor with gold decorations charged towards the Xenos, raising his sword in front of him to block the incoming emerald beam of light.

Feeling the impact from his palm, he twisted his wrist, causing the blade that was flying towards his body to slide away.

Lion kept his eyes fixed on the worm's arm, moving the instant it lifted.

The guards following closely behind, desperately trying to help their father, sprayed explosives at the Xenos.

Necrotic beams shot out at them, and the black pottery corpses fell one after another.

Lion stepped in a spiral, just as he had when he was being trained by Luther, and came to the Slaugth-kin.

He swung his sword, and just before it hit the scepter, he spun around sharply, slicing off a swarm of worms.

Khorne, perched atop his Brass Throne, watched as Lion constantly shifted his balance.

He defends while attacking, and attacks while defending.

He gazed upon the endless, unbreakable spiral of defense and offense, and exclaimed in awe.

Attack, defense, skill, balance.
