Khorne: I Just Love War!
The call has ended.
No, to be precise, it's impossible to continue.
Looking at the frenzied and terrifying Alvin, Stone Tooth felt an inexplicable fear of the "human" race for the first time in its life.
What kind of race is this?
It cannot comprehend how a civilization could be so fanatically fond of war and the destruction of another civilization.
The actions of the Devourer Imperium can be explained by the principle of "survival of the fittest." Their killings are intended to allow the Devourer Imperium to continue its magnificent and grand journey, and to ensure the continuation of the Devourer Civilization.
But humans seem to be different.
If it's for peace, humanity should agree to negotiations; if it's for revenge, humanity should feel enraged.
But Alvin was different. In Stone Tooth's perception, his emotions were more like a pure, unadulterated, and undisguised desire for destruction!
It's as if he doesn't care about achieving peace at all, only hoping for a war to satisfy his abyssal appetite.
Stone Tooth brought back news of the war, which greatly pleased a part of the Devourer Civilization.
They assembled a large army and began deploying their battle plans.
One by one, self-proclaimed shrewd advisors began to engage in heated discussions about how to efficiently destroy humanity.
Of course, the bigger issue is how to divide up the Earth's resources so that humanity dares to refuse their proposals.
And feel regret.
A significant portion of them proposed lowering the level of human captivity, while others suggested slaughtering millions of people to give humanity a shock.
But soon, a message from Stone Tooth silenced them.
Humanity, before they arrived, had already been wiped out by approximately one billion, and the people who did this...
It's "Alvin"!
The thought of this mysterious "human" intensified Stone Tooth's unease.
As the fleet commander, it needed to know enough intelligence, but that mysterious human was shrouded in mystery.
Where did those black-armored warriors come from?
What's with the warships that suddenly appeared in the sky, those magnificent buildings that resembled churches?
Who provided the weapon powerful enough to destroy a planet?
These mysteries troubled Stone Tooth, making it realize that humans might not be as powerless as they had imagined!
This is the greatest challenge the Devourer Imperium has faced since the Eridanus!
The other party is humankind, born alongside them on this beautiful blue planet.
They are "children" born of the same roots, nurtured by the same land.
However, now they and humans are about to wage a war on this beautiful blue land that gave life to two civilizations, a war that will determine the future of both civilizations. The loser will be reduced to "beasts"!
Stone Tooth stood before the massive bridge of the warship, gazing at the azure planet.
The entire Devourer Imperium was enveloped in a frenzied, excited mood. Not a single Devourer, including the high-ranking councilors, felt fear about this war.
Yes, they are Devourer Civilization, having devoured countless others. How could they possibly fear "ants" like humans?
However, for some reason, the scene from that conversation remained haunting Stone Tooth's mind like a nightmare.
That bizarre and terrifying face seemed to be deeply etched into its memory.
This made it impossible for Stone Tooth, who was already extremely tired and should have been resting, to fall asleep.
It always dreams that it has entered a desolate desert, an endless expanse of sand that seems to be soaked in blood, with bright red liquid constantly seeping out when it steps on it, and the air seems to be filled with endless Blood Qi!
"Commander Stone Tooth, you should go and rest now."
The fleet's AI issued a warning.
The detection of Stone Tooth's mental state, which appears to be extremely unstable, poses a significant threat to the entire fleet.
"Okay, I understand." Stone Tooth's eyes were bloodshot as he wearily instructed, "Continue to monitor Earth, especially that mysterious human. I need to know all his movements. If you detect anything unusual, wake me immediately!"
After giving its instructions, Stone Tooth returned to its resting room and lay down in its hibernation pod.
In order to fall asleep better, it controlled the program to inject itself with a little bit of medicine that would allow it to rest better.
As the medicine was injected, it felt its eyelids getting heavier and heavier.
However...::::. The sleeping Stone Tooth never imagined that it would be pulled into an unspeakable realm by a mysterious force.
It witnessed a scene that shook it to its core, even to the point of collapse!
The mighty Devourer Imperium's warship crashed at the edge of the Blood Desert, along with its familiar companions...
Family members, superiors, and even subordinates were all pierced through the body by sharp iron spears, resembling a giant metal thorny tomb!
No, no,
Completely consumed by fear, Stone Tooth stumbled and ran wildly through the yellow sand.
Finally, it arrived at the sharp thorny grave, but the scene that came into view made its heart feel as if it were being squeezed by an invisible hand.
Every one of the devourers had its head cut off.
"Where are their heads! Where are their heads?!"
Stone Tooth completely collapsed; it roared and howled hysterically, almost maniacally.
Its pent-up anger, with nowhere to vent, brought it to the brink of mental collapse.
Finally, after being subjected to this near-torture, it fainted.
He didn't know how long he had been unconscious, but Stone Tooth awoke from the excruciating pain, his nostrils filled with the smell of sulfur and rotting flesh.
When it regained full consciousness and struggled to open its eyes, it found itself kneeling on a ring-shaped mountain made up of hundreds of thousands, millions, or even billions of skulls!
Within the eye sockets of each skull burned a bright red, blood-red flame!
They uttered extremely blasphemous language, which Stone Tooth could not understand at all, as it was unlike any language it knew.
Staring blankly, its gaze seemed to be drawn by something, looking towards the mountain peak made of skulls!
There floated a giant axe hundreds of meters long, with crimson liquid dripping continuously from its blade.
Before the blood droplets hit the ground, they would be evaporated into Blood Qi by the high temperature, like countless souls suffering from pain and torment, emitting mournful howls, turning into gusts of cold wind that swirled around the huge Brass Throne!
At that moment, Stone Tooth's inner courage triumphed over his fear.
It finally saw it: on that enormous Brass Throne was a humanoid monster with huge, blood-red skin, wearing a huge bone-winged helmet on his inhuman face, a face filled with twisted rage and roars, and murderous intent!
He sat there on the Brass Throne, a hint of amusement in his eyes.
Finally, the enormous figure let out a cold laugh.
Countless skulls sang in unison once again, but this time, Stone Tooth finally understood what those skulls were shouting.
"Blood for the Blood God, Skulls for the Skull Throne...:"
Stone Tooth's mind completely collapsed, and he fell into endless madness.
