Tzeentch sealed Boss Slick inside an illusion after arguing that wisdom could overcome even his overwhelming power. The illusion turned Boss Slick into Cheng Mingrui, and he walked through a familiar modern metropolis as the chapter ended.

• Tzeentch stabbed Boss Slick in the chest and used magic to seal him after Boss Slick's divine core was weakened.

• The illusion shifted to a bustling modern metropolis, where Cheng Mingrui walked past shops, salespeople, and pedestrians.

Cheng Mingrui forced Tzeentch to face him directly, transformed into an Ork, and fought the Chaos god’s powerful avatar as the battle devastated a city. As Storm King triggered a supernova to fuel Tzeentch’s attack, Tzeentch began using widespread spells to expose and target Boss Slick.

• Tzeentch defended against Boss Slick and unleashed widespread elemental spells, using a magical mirror to track him after one spell struck.

After Hops’s light helped Boss Slick recover and defeat Tzeentch’s avatar, Boss Slick learned that Tzeentch’s endless mirrored worlds made victory impossible by force alone. He joined Gork and Mork in searching the Black Library for a solution, then vanished into the Star of Hope’s light as Tzeentch watched Boss Slick begin dying across the reflected worlds.

• Tzeentch’s runaway spells exploded after Hops’s hope combined with a low-probability event, leaving Tzeentch’s avatar unable to teleport or defend itself.
• Hops’s light restored Boss Slick, whose punch smashed Tzeentch’s avatar, but Boss Slick discovered that Tzeentch remained in infinitely many reflected worlds.

• Tzeentch observed Boss Slick’s deaths across the worlds and could not understand how they were happening.

As every reflected version of Boss Slick vanished, Tzeentch realized that Boss Slick had used his death to begin ascending as a Chaos god and claim the Dark King’s authority. Boss Slick returned to life atop a pillar of light and fought off the gods trying to steal that authority.

• Boss Slick disappeared across every reflected world, leaving Tzeentch to face the Nightbringer on Terra.
• The Nightbringer erased the battlefield with a conceptual scythe attack, while Tzeentch noticed Gorkamorka breaking apart outside the battle.
• Gorkamorka split into Gork and Mork, confirming Boss Slick’s death, as a Chaos Star appeared above the remains and began drawing him into Realspace.
• Tzeentch recognized that Boss Slick was ascending toward the Dark King’s throne and sent lesser Warp gods, the Four-Armed Emperor, and T'au'va to contest his divine authority.
• Boss Slick returned atop a black pillar of light and used death-and-purification cannons to kill the attacking gods and drive back the Four-Armed Emperor.

Boss Slick raced to touch the Chaos Star before it rooted in the universe, drawing on every authority and the support of Orks across the multiverse to accelerate his ascension. He shattered the Star, and its vast shadow vanished from the universe.

• Boss Slick realized the Chaos Star was expanding toward the source of the universe and that he had to reach it before it became an invincible force.
• Tzeentch sent Warp monsters to delay Boss Slick, while T'au'va wounded him with a divine railgun.
• Boss Slick drew on his Ork, mechanical, death, battle, and Dark King powers, then accelerated with the Emperor’s cold sun pulling him upward.

• Boss Slick declared himself Cheng Mingrui, Slick, the God of Battle, and Gorkamorka, and the Chaos Star swelled and burst, disappearing from the universe.

Boss Slick destroyed the Warp but learned from the Black Library that the Old Ones would return and might recreate the universe’s doomed future. He released hope across the universe, rekindled his divine flame through Preservation, and vanished into the universe as its guardian.

• Boss Slick dismissed Tzeentch’s plea to cooperate and asked the Black Library whether the Old Ones would return and become gods.
• The Black Library confirmed the Old Ones would return, warned that tragedy was more likely than not, and could not determine whether the gods would truly die without the Warp.

In the age of 50k, Gorkamorka’s Gretchin rebelled for equal work points and the right to join the Waaagh! as their civil war intensified. Kuka left the planet with Clever Git, spreading the story of Boss Slick and pointing the way toward a future when Greenskins might feel his presence.

• The Gretchin Revolutionary Committee led a growing rebellion after the Union Boys stole Gretchin work points and denied them a place in Waaagh! fleets.
