Great! It's Cute Duo, we're saved!

The sky Roared, the earth burned, and a terrifying beast a hundred meters tall roamed the streets, wantonly slaughtering all life before it.

This is not Daemon, but it is more terrifying than Daemon. After all, Daemon only exist in the Sea of Souls. Even if Daemon have infiltrated the Webway, they will not be as horrifying as Atlas.

"Mom, where did Dad go?"

A Xenos cub with two horns on its head and eight compound eyes huddled in its mother's arms, asking her where its father had gone.

This is a cruel question for a mother, because she knows where her husband is, that he has long been swallowed by that terrifying monster.

But to avoid being discovered by the monsters, the mother tightened her four pairs of claws and vibrated her abdomen to reassure her offspring:

"Father has gone to forage for food. You are growing and need to consume enough nutrition to grow up quickly."

But we don't lack food!

Looking down, through her daughter's pupils, the mother saw the meat hanging from the cave ceiling, next to a soup pot containing floating eyeballs, brains, fingernails, and Aeldari entrails as seasoning.

The heat wave from the explosion compressed the air, causing the several white thighs on the cave ceiling to ripple, some long, some short, some thick, some thin.

The long ones are from the Aeldari, the thick ones are from humans, and the short ones are the most delicious, with chewy, springy meat and tender, juicy fat. The only drawback is that there's too little meat, after all, the Space Squats lives up to its name, being a notorious dwarf.

Even so, these foods were not wasted. The perishable offal was used to make soup, and the firm, reliable thighs were dried into cured meat and stored as reserve food.

But those wonderful days were gone forever with the monster that fell from the sky.

Perhaps thinking of something, or perhaps sensing its mother's bad mood, the cub shifted its body, tore off a human liver that wasn't quite dead yet, and presented it to its mother:

"Father said that as long as you're well-fed, you won't have any worries. Look, that looks like Father."

Through the hole, a Xenos resembling a giant spider but with the head of a fly peeked out and waved back and forth to its young, like a great father returning home from a hunt.

Without any hesitation, the cubs pounced on their father, communicating in their unique language, asking where he had gone, why he had only just returned, and why he was covered in injuries.

No matter how the cub called out, its father did not respond. Instead, he kept waving his arms and occasionally bursting out a puff of purplish-black blood.

"Conan."

"It's me, Father. How are you?"

"Tasty!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a thick, sharp claw descended from the sky, tearing apart the Xenos nest filled with skeletons and revealing the two small insects underneath.

Glancing at the human who had been disemboweled and was beyond saving, Mordred extended her long tongue and grabbed the larger, more threatening Xenos.

The barbed tongue rubbed repeatedly, scraping away bit by bit the flesh and blood of the hateful Xenos, causing it to howl in pain.

It was at this moment that the cub realized that the one who had just entered the cave was not its father at all; its father was already dead, and a fleshy tentacle had burrowed into its father's corpse from under the monster.

"Let go of my mother, you wicked thing!"

"You incomprehensible thing, you can even speak Gothic, you must have eaten quite a few people. You've met your demise, what a pair of star-crossed lovers, I'll reunite you as a family now."

Mordred left, but another tentacle appeared behind her, continuing to lure the hideous Xenos.

Scattered explosions echoed from the ruins, occasionally triggering a blast. This was a continent located in the Webway, its area being half the size of Eurasia, and it had once been a transit point for Atlas in the Webway.

As one of the first Webway developed by Atlas, this place has been overrun by Xenos in just ten thousand years, who come to hunt down any unfortunate creatures that accidentally fall in.

The Webway is so vast that even those who have entered it before are awestruck by this magnificent structure that spans the galaxy and even leads to the outer realms, marveling at how the ancient Old Ones must have built it.

The so-called Webway is not just a highway, but an alternate dimension with infinite space and countless creatures.

These Webway of tunnels that Warp vary in size. Some are so large that they could not be filled with several planets, while others are so small that only one person can pass through at a time. Even a big guy like Mordred has to curl up and crawl on the ground.

This place is isolated from the tides of the Sea of Souls and also from the Physical World, but even the Webway cannot withstand the ravages of time, becoming leaky and dilapidated.

The ferocity of the War in Heaven was unimaginable, but Mordred knew that the C'tan faction was initially at a disadvantage. It was by using these Webway to roam around that the Old Ones were able to outmaneuver their opponents, even when fighting on foreign soil in the real world, until the Burning One unleashed their power and burned through the Webway.

It has been half a year since Atlas entered the Webway. Maybe it's half a year, or maybe it's not. Nobody knows for sure. In any case, during this time, Atlas has been cleaning the Webway.

Whether it was Xenos or Daemon, whatever kind of monster or demon, Atlas went all out and charged wildly through this Webway, killing countless monsters. Mordred even encountered a small group of Rangdan blocking his way.

If you dare block my way, go tell my fleet. Anyone who doesn't know better would think you're a speed bump.

"Kialan, where are we now?"

"Reporting, Boss, we should now be at the third transfer point. The nearest Webway Gate leads directly to Nikaea, and we have now entered the Sol Sector."

Ten thousand years later, Kialan was resurrected and could not die even if he wanted to. He was completely anchored by Mordred and became the Aeldari's number one henchman.

Leave the professional work to the professionals. Through the Mind Network, Mordred knew that the area had been almost completely cleared, so he directly ordered the Khan to drop the Virus Bomb, burning everything alive, dead, and whatever else was there.

The flames purified everything, burning away the blasphemous Xenos. A squad of Atlas was left behind to guard the area, awaiting support from the rear fleet, and to scout out a suitable location to install the Divine Seal Spire.

According to the Webway map, the fleet quickly found its destination. As a bone-white door opened from the void, Atlas returned to the Physical World after half a year.

As soon as it appeared, the portable Divine Seal Terminal inside the Abomination received a signal from a nearby base station. This pleased Mordred greatly, meaning that Guilliman and Zhuang Sen hadn't been wasting their time while he was away, and that the last leg of the journey had been cleared.

Before Mordred could catch his breath, a communication link from Holy Terra appeared in front of him, startling him as soon as the Holographic Projection connected.

Seeing Zhuang Sen's blank stare and panda-like dark circles under his eyes in the video, Mordred thought she was seeing a ghost.

"Second Son, you're finally back! I've been messaging you nonstop, didn't you hear me? Hurry back to Terra, that bastard Guilliman is out of control, I'm the only one carrying the whole of Terra."

Perhaps hearing a familiar name, a giant blue creature, two meters tall and wearing a laurel wreath, rolled up in front of Zhuang Sen.

"Is that Guilliman? How did he become... Never mind, I knew it would turn out like this. You've suffered these past few years. I'll be right back."

"Hurry up, those damn government affairs are driving me crazy. Also, I think I know the whereabouts of one of my brothers."

"Could it be Sanguinius? Ferrus would be fine, even Russ would be good enough."

"Neither! It's that man."

There was no one else who could be called "that man" by Zhuang Sen, and just thinking about it made Mordred's face harden.

"Cute Duo? Great, we're saved!"
