Age of Despair

Just as the Night Haunter was about to leave, a crack suddenly appeared in front of him.

A stunningly beautiful woman appeared before the Night Haunter.

"Who are you?"

"I am... Xarathi, who answers your call by the command of my Lord, the Prince of Pleasure."

Looking at the Warp Daemon before him, who was even more beautiful than Fulgrim in human aesthetics, the Night Haunter's first reaction was that he had been corrupted.

"Don't be nervous, Scions of the Father of Night, let's get straight to the point."

"The betrayal of the Father of Night by the Accursed has not only displeased you, but also filled the beings of the Warp with rage."

"However, due to the absence of a certain entity, the current situation in the Warp is not optimistic."

"My Lord commands you, first, never to engage in Warp travel; second, let the Accursed follow their original destiny, only then will my Lord have a chance to find the Father of Night."

"The situation is urgent, I'll give you a ride."

After speaking, Xarathi forcibly opened an entrance to the Aeldari Webway, Night Haunter entered it without having time to think.

"The person who made the arrangements is already waiting for you. Follow his instructions and head to Terra as soon as possible."

As expected, after entering the Webway, the Night Haunter encountered the people arranged by Xarathi, a Haemonculus squad from the Drukhari.

However, the Night Haunter did not follow their guidance; instead, he activated Phase shifting directly within the Webway.

Ten minutes later, the Night Haunter arrived on the Nightfall.

Sensing the return of the Night Haunter, Curze stopped what he was doing and met with him alone.

"How's the situation?"

"We met with Prince of Pleasure's men. Prince of Pleasure has only given us two pieces of information so far."

"First, never use Warp for travel; the Warp is in chaos right now."

"Secondly, let the Emperor follow his original destiny; only in this way can the Prince of Pleasure find his father."

What was the original fate of Emperors?

"Make him squat on the toilet?"

"That's right."

"Luckily, we used the Necrontyr technology from the beginning, just to be on the safe side, otherwise it would have been a real problem."

"Then let's go full speed ahead!"

Back in the Laer System, before leaving the Realspace, Xarathi used his last bit of strength to contact the Silent King.

The content is very simple.

[To the Father of Night, we march into the Warp.]

Upon seeing this message, the Silent King, who was stationed in the Peaceful Star System, was deeply conflicted.

Should we believe the words of beings created in the Warp? But they say everything is for the Father of Night.

"Chrispeck, what are your thoughts on this news?"

Chrispeck, the Phaeron of the Nihilakh Dynasty, the supreme defensive master of the Necrontyr Dynasty, and Trazyn's former superior.

"Silent King, please forgive my bluntness, but regardless of whether news emerges from the Warp, our ultimate goal remains the Warp, doesn't it?"

Upon hearing Chrispeck's words, the Silent King nodded.

That is indeed the case.

Thanks to Han Mingxuan's prior arrangements, 70% of the entire Necrontyr Dynasty's forces were focused on the Warp, ready to act immediately at the slightest sign of trouble.

Now that news has arrived from the Warp, it's only a matter of time before it happens.

"Okay, Chrispeck, you need to keep a close eye on the Peaceful Star System while I'm on my Warp expedition."

"Clear."

Then the Silent King began to mobilize manpower, whether Resurrection or Resurrection, and the entire Necrontyr Dynasty was mobilized.

After assembling his forces, the Silent King immediately led his army into the Warp, but this time the process of entering the Warp was not smooth.

Or rather, he felt extremely strong resistance when he entered the Warp this time.

"What's going on? The three of them actually want to join forces to seal off Warp?"

Although surprised by the actions of the Chaos Gods, the Silent King still led his army into the Warp. However, the scene inside astonished him.

As soon as he entered the Warp, he saw a huge army.

Chaos Gods’ Allied Forces.

Yes, it's the Chaos Gods’ Allied Forces.

Of the four Chaos Gods, three are here.

Khorne, Nurgle, Slaanesh.

And all the forces they can mobilize, including a sizable army of Tzeentch Greater Daemon.

Of course, that's not all.

All the named Daemon in the Warp have united.

"All troops, immediately enter combat readiness and eliminate the enemy in front of you."

"Clear!"

With the addition of the Necrontyr Dynasty, the pressure on the Warp Allied Forces was greatly reduced thanks to their powerful support.

The three Warp gods were finally able to free up their hands.

"Thank you for your rescue, Great Silent King," Nurgle said.

"Everything is for the Father of Night. I'm not here to help you; I want to know what you have to say about the Father of Night."

"Of course, but right now we must solve the problem of the Warp, otherwise this world will be destroyed."

The Silent King stared at Slaanesh with a strange look.

"You... have become very different."

"This is all thanks to Mr. Han's help."

"Okay, explain the current situation in detail."

Tzeentch has disappeared.

"What?!"

Upon hearing Slaanesh's words, the Silent King felt as if he were still half asleep.

Although he hated things in the Warp, with his people's Resurrection, it was absolutely impossible for them to have no connection to the Warp at all.

The Sea of Souls isn't called that for nothing.

That's why the Silent King was very clear about what the four guys in the Warp really meant.

While Tzeentch symbolizes intrigue and treachery, it is undeniable that he also represents hope.

Whether this hope is real or not, as long as it exists, there is still A Sliver of Life for the world.

But once he disappears, the concept of hope also vanishes, leaving only Despair in the world.

Is there a solution?

The Silent King knew that now was not the time to assign blame; the most important thing now was to solve the problem.

"Yes," Khorne said. "Now we must reach Maze of Tzeentch as quickly as possible. There's a key Labyrinth the first level; we must destroy it."

"This is what Tzeentch told me before he left."

"Then what about the enemies you're fighting?"

The Silent King could see clearly that the enemies these Warp Allied Forces were fighting against were very similar to them.

"This is the prologue to Age of Despair; as the concept of hope vanishes, Despair reigns supreme."

"The first to receive feedback was in the Warp."

"I think the message Tzeentch left behind is closely related to the current situation, so if we want to destroy the key, we must clear away these embodiments of Despair along the way," Nurgle said.

"Alright, my troops will fight alongside you all the way!"

"We need to act quickly. If our pace is slowed down, it could very well lead to the ultimate destruction of this world."

"Ultimate destruction?"

"The Black Sun of the Warp, a monster that should never have appeared in this destiny." Nurgle's tone was heavy.

He had already sensed an aura that shouldn't exist at the location of the Well of Eternity.
