Blue Smurfs in the Webway
"What happened!?"
"Stop her! She's about to explode!"
"Stop her!!!"
Exclamations of surprise emanated from the Vect noble spectator stands, where people had been calmly watching from the highest platform, and spread throughout the arena.
The object of everyone's shock and fear was not Evrene's opponent, Lyris, but how quickly she had eliminated the champion of the Wych Fighting Cult.
Rather, it was her own nature— Evrene was not a Dark Eldar. Although she discarded the Spirit Stone and became a Corsairs, her innate Psychic Power talent erupted completely at the last moment of her life.
Having studied the ways of Warlock, she possesses extremely powerful Psychic Power talent. However, due to her intense resistance as she faces death, her will is opening a new door from the Commorragh to the Warp.
However, this outburst of the soul, to a certain extent, is equivalent to illuminating a guiding light for the demons roaming in the void.
Even though Evrene was completely unaware that she was connecting to and opening a channel to the Warp, it was clear that she could not let it continue any longer.
"Immediately stop the formation of the Portal rift!!!"
"I give the order with extreme annoyance, "Vect commanded.
He never imagined that the grand competition he had meticulously planned would end so abruptly—not only did the participants miss out on the exciting clashes between the two sides, but now everyone was worried that demons would descend upon the world through Evrene's Portal.
Even if the Dark Eldar played some outrageous tricks, no one dared to step forward and say they would dare to go and have some fun in the Slaanesh Six Rings.
Someone must intervene to break the formation of the Portal.
However, he has staked a fortune on the victory of Arena Queen Lyris, and intervening to disrupt the arena will only cause his money to go down the drain.
Even as the Archon of the Black Heart Consortium, who controlled everything in the Dark City, Vect had to acknowledge a simple axiom—a gamble must be accepted.
Kill her.
Without even Vect himself needing to speak, his Trueborn warriors (many of the Dark Eldar from the Kabal are born from Haemonculi jars, hence those born from the womb proudly call themselves Trueborn) attacked from both sides of the Gladiator Arena toward the center in the next instant.
When!
But their attempt failed.
Even though they were trusted subordinates of Vect, the Dark Eldar each displayed remarkable combat prowess.
But when facing the Commorragh Arena Queen, their speed was far too childish.
"I'm sorry, but you can't interrupt our ceremony yet, Vect."
Just then, the Wych Fighting Cult, who had received orders from Lyris, leaped into the arena and stood in front of Evrene, protecting her.
"Quick! Let's go too!"
"Huh? Me? Why are we—"
There was no time for further explanation. Titus, who was engaged in a chaotic battle in the arena, quickly grabbed the Iron Warriors beside him and they circled around the fallen Evrene.
"Are you crazy, Lyris?"
Do you know what that Warp Rift will bring us?
Vect was astonished at how foolish the other party's actions were.
He couldn't understand why the other person would do that.
He just stood up like that, willing to give up everything he had in the Commorragh for an enemy he had killed by piercing his chest before?
Those are demons from the Empyrean!
"No, Vect."
"Not everything that exists in the Empyrean is demonic."
Lyris gave a confident smile, "It's also possible that our long-lost god has returned to save us."
Bear!
The moment Lyris finished speaking, the endless Golden Flame burst into flames in the center of the arena, which was the focus of everyone's attention.
Evrene, control your power!
I will help you rebuild your body.
Enveloped in Golden Flame, the penetrating wound that had pierced Evrene's chest miraculously began to heal under the protection of the flames.
[Who are you.]
[Evrene, you once joined the Corsairs, so you must have heard of my name, Kasgar, from Yriel.]
[Kasgar, are you the New Phoenix King she's talking about?]
New Phoenix King Kasgar?
He is the being that Yriel often mentions, the human Phoenix King Kasgar?
I thought Yriel was joking!
Even if Evrene wasn't particularly racist towards humans, she still considered her Eldar to be a superior race.
But what Yriel said was simply too outrageous; a human becoming their Phoenix King was simply...
That's appalling.
But judging from her tone, the other person didn't seem to be going crazy.
Judging from the other party's immense power, it seems that what Yriel said is true!
That's right.
Also, Evrene.
Do you want a husband?
[.?]
Just kidding.
Of course, if given the opportunity, Kasgar wouldn't mind trying to match Guilliman and Evrene together.
Now everyone is on the same side. The Eldar call him the Phoenix King, and the humans call him Hero Kasgar. Isn't it perfect that we can fight against external enemies together?
But it's too early to think about those things now.
"What kind of witchcraft is that?"
"It feels so warm. This power... it feels so familiar."
"Could it be that He really has returned?"
"He's back?"
The Dark Eldar looked at each other in bewilderment.
!
Run!
Just as Vandire was the first to run away when the Emperor returned, these nobles of the Dark Eldar knew best what they had done to this ancient and powerful Father of the Gods in their pursuit of hedonism.
The mere sight of His power reappearing in the world was enough to send the Dark Eldar nobles into a panic, ready to scatter like birds and beasts.
"Calm."
At this moment, only Vect, the lord of the Dark City, could temporarily calm the panic of the crowd.
"That is not our god, it is just a monkey pretending to be one."
"People of the Eldar, open your eyes wide and do not be blinded by this illusion."
In fact, even Vect himself couldn't tell whether it was real or fake.
Anyway, if Asuryan really descends, he definitely won't survive, so we might as well take a gamble.
With his palms slightly sweaty, Vect remained seated on his throne, feigning composure.
Thank goodness, he guessed right.
Although Evrene recovered completely under the influence of some force and the healing of that mysterious being,
Thank goodness, the Phoenix King's flames did not engulf each of them!
It was merely a burst of flame, a burst of flame carrying the scent of His past!
This proves... proves that guy is definitely a fake!
Right!
No, that's right! The Phoenix King is long dead!
It will never come back to life!
"Humans who play tricks, do you have anything else to say?"
After secretly breathing a sigh of relief, Vect spoke to the mysterious being surrounded by the crowd.
What do you want to say?
Kasgar couldn't be bothered to say another word to these depraved beings.
In his view, the entire Commorragh and the Dark Eldar, a race that lives on the suffering of others, have no reason to exist.
However, it is clear that Kasgar's current strength is insufficient to completely destroy the complex and vast Commorragh region, which is larger than billions of human cities combined.
But he still has one method left, a method he was reluctant to use before.
Let me show you the power of the devil from the depths of the Webway.
A cruel smile appeared on Kasgar's face.
To him, these fallen Eldar were no different from the demons deep within the Webway; in fact, in terms of sheer atrocities, these fallen Commorragh were far more horrifying to the entire universe.
It's not a crisis, it's just... disgusting.
Instead, we can conveniently reduce the number of demons inside the Webway, making full preparations for the upcoming Webway.
Zzzzz!
The moment the Webway was completed, countless blue demons surged forth like a flood from the Webway connection exit that opened behind Kasgar.
Wait a minute, something's not right!
"For Ultramar! For Guilliman!!!"
Those "demons" shouted that.
Kasgar: "?"
No?
Isn't the target of the Webway Demon he summoned this time a little off?
Hiss.
Kasgar recalls the changes he has undergone over the past ten thousand years during the Horus Heresy.
It seems that it is precisely because of his unremitting efforts that, although nine Primarch in the Imperium of Man still chose to leave the Imperium, the current state of the Imperium of Man still inspires despair.
But the most crucial thing, and also the last hope for human revival— the Webway —was painstakingly preserved by them.
Even at the most critical moment of the Siege of Terra, Primarch Vulkan, with his power of repeated regeneration, managed to hold off Magnus's attack. Under his command, the Salamanders and the Imperial Talons drove the already exhausted demons out of the Webway.
Unfortunately, in the instant the explosion occurred at Lorgar, it not only blasted open the Webway, but also destroyed the human laboratories and research data gathered there at the time, killing countless professionals who were researching the Webway.
Furthermore, with the greatest researcher, the Emperor, also ascending the Golden Throne, the Webway was lost to the Imperium of Man —such technological losses have been numerous since the Dark Age of Technology.
Nevertheless, Lord Regent Guilliman understood that this was what the Emperor cared about most.
Although he didn't know how to repair the gap in the Webway, he still chose to send the Adeptus Custodes and his men to guard the Webway cities and intersections at all levels to prevent any demons from daring to invade through the Webway.
Anyway, the Blue Smurfs have been breeding for over seven thousand years, and almost every Space Marine Chapter in the entire human world is related to the Sons of Guilliman, so many that there's no room for them—perfect, having them guard the Webway can shut up the mouths of others.
And so, a massive number of Blue Smurfs got stuck in the Webway.
Until someone opens the "demon" Portal.
"Xenos?"
"Xenos".
"Xenos!!!"
The first group of Blue Smurfs to enter the Commorragh looked at each other in bewilderment.
They had been searching for traces of demons, but they never imagined that after crossing the Webway, they would be facing a large number of Xenos.
Never mind.
Xenos are Xenos, so what if I kill someone?
The Blue Smurfs have a very open-minded attitude.
They're all enemies of the Emperor anyway, so what does it matter if they're Xenos, heretics, or demons?
Kill them all; it's a piece of cake.
'Kill!'
"For the Emperor!!!"
Moreover, the Blue Smurfs were only launching their first wave of attacks.
Kasgar didn't use his own power to eliminate the Portal rift that Evrene had created.
Why do we need to remove it?
Isn't the outcome that Kasgar most desires right now to let more demons enter Commorragh from the Warp and wreak havoc?
He even stepped in to stabilize the somewhat unstable Psychic Power Portal rift.
Immediately following were the demons—an equally massive number of demons poured out from another Portal behind Kasgar.
The souls of the Eldar are an absolute tonic for any demon; no demon can refuse a delicious bite of Eldar.
However, at the time, Kasgar never imagined that Blue Smurfs would emerge from the Webway.
"Waaaaagh!!!"
Moreover, it seems that Greenskin warlords are breaking into the world through the Warp Rift.
They sensed it!
A breathtaking battle is about to take place here!
Compared to fighting those demons, fighting here is obviously much more interesting!!!
"Quick!"
"Close the Portal! Kill these intruders!!!"
Vect hurriedly walked outside, while still using a megaphone to direct his men to continue fighting.
As for him personally?
Of course, we should take advantage of the chaos and hide in the Black Heart Consortium's bunker.
"Heresy!!!"
"Stupid monkey!!"
"Waaaaagh!"
"Blood for the Blood God!"
It's too chaotic.
That's too much of a mess.
That's too Warhammer-esque.
No situation could be more overwhelming for Kasgar and Evrene beside him than it is now.
After all, Kasgar had never been to Hakimidon.
"Are you still watching?"
Kasgar felt someone gently nudging him.
"Follow me, our people are just ahead."
As she spoke, Arena Queen Lyris led her sisters to the front.
"Us?"
"What do you mean?" said Titus was behind Kasgar, incredulously.
"You've allied yourself with these Xenos, Kasgar?"
This undoubtedly dealt another blow to the simple and honest Titus.
"What exactly did you do during the days you were missing? Why did they choose to ally with you?"
"And what do you mean by saying Evrene is my future stepmother?"
"Uh, now is not the time to talk. Let's leave here first."
Kasgar looked around at the chaotic scene unfolding all around him and said somewhat awkwardly.
It may sound complicated, but Kasgar's trip to Commorragh wasn't just about finding Melusine.
Commorragh is a land of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. Although the people here have slightly lower moral standards, they are still able to make connections with Kasgar, the Corsairs who was once a subordinate of Yriel.
You can also use Evrene and Lyris to play free shopping in Commorragh.
"Those people are all—"
Titus, who had boarded the Dark Eldar ship, looked toward the crowd in the distance.
Besides Lyris's Wych, hundreds of Space Marine were waiting there!
Moreover, their appearances were incredibly diverse—there were traitorous warriors from the Iron Warriors and World Eaters, as well as countless Space Marine Chapter currently possessed by the Imperium of Man —judging from their paint schemes, they all came from—
Well, it's impossible for Space Marine to recognize so many Chapter in an instant.
Fortunately, they will all be joining the Sons of the Phoenix in the future.
Just like the Blackshield forces of Deathwatch, Kasgar simply doesn't have the resources to slowly develop and grow the Sons of the Phoenix Chapter from scratch.
If he wants to become stronger quickly, he has to take advantage of what's readily available.
The deal between the Haemonculi and Kasgar was simple: the Thirteen Scar Association would help Kasgar Melusine reunite, and in return, Kasgar would help the Haemonculi shake the rule of Victor Black Heart Consortium Vect.
In response, one of Kasgar's targets was the Arena Queen Lyris.
Just like in the original timeline when she successfully joined the Death Cult, after Kasgar removed the Slaanesh mark from her body and granted her complete freedom to challenge powerful figures around the world at will, Lyris immediately chose to give away all her wealth to help Kasgar fulfill his wish—
Summon all the Space Marine who have been kidnapped to this place from the Conspiracy.
And we extended an invitation to them—to join the Sons of the Phoenix and fight our way out of this filthy, Dark City.
Space Marine in such a predicament would certainly not refuse this invitation: rather than be a gladiator pet of the Xenos here, they would join the Chapter of the Hero Kasgar and fight for the Emperor once more!
This series of Space Marine Power Armour paint jobs looks like a collection, with hundreds of brightly colored paint jobs and wearing Power Armour of various Mark models.
—Even if there are a few similar ones, they are all Ultramarines or Ultramarines' subgroups.
Seven thousand years of farming have allowed the Ultramarines to develop to an extremely terrifying scale.
They were all following behind an Emperor's Children with a purple-gold backpack and numerous Mechadendrite.
"You're really something."
Seeing Kasgar step off the Dark Eldar ship, Melusine said helplessly.
She never imagined that Kasgar would return to the real world so quickly, and that it would cause her a huge mess as soon as it came back.
Although it was impossible to see clearly what was happening in the arena, the distant flames, shouts, and various types of spaceships circling around suggested that...
I knew Kasgar was up to no good again.
"How was the harvest?"
"Good."
Melusine's usually stern face finally showed a hint of a smile, "If all goes well, I can help you and your temporary assistants complete the Primaris Surgery right now."
"With the anatomical knowledge of the Haemonculi, our success rate can basically be maintained at over 90% this time."
This is already a major piece of good news for Kasgar.
That's the Primaris of an entire Chapter!
"But we'll talk about that after we break through."
"But how do we get out now?"
Commorragh's Webway is intricate and complex. Even if Lyris wanted to offer assistance, their current manpower clearly wouldn't allow for a complete evacuation.
She was merely the leader of the Wych Cults, not the Kabal Archon, and naturally did not possess any plundering ships.
"Look over there."
That is...
"That's the pirate ship I came on!"
Evrene, who was in the group, shouted in surprise.
In the distance, on a somewhat damaged Corsairs ship, quietly moored in the harbor.
A man wearing Jester mask waved at him again.
