Han Mingxuan's discussion with the two gods came to an end, but the battle on the battlefield had only just begun.

"This is simply a masterpiece of engineering; I couldn't have imagined such a project before I saw it."

Horus, now atop Excommunication asteroid that had transformed into Great Wall of Steel, gained a deeper understanding of Perturabo's abilities.

"The Iron Saint can do many things, but so far, I've found the most suitable one," Perturabo said.

"Next, we should discuss the specific battle plan," Guilliman continued.

"No matter how things are arranged, Abaddon and the Black Legion are mine."

"Very well, the Black Legion is to be handled by the XVI Legion, but you must be extremely careful, Horus."

"Roboute, has anything major changed?"

Guilliman nodded.

"Yes, Horus, Abaddon of this universe has inherited the Blood God's Legacy, and he is very powerful."

"Before you and the Great Angel arrived, Lion El'Jonson nearly lost his life at Abaddon's hands."

Horus remained silent for a moment after hearing the intelligence that Guilliman was targeting.

During this time, he glanced at Abaddon beside him.

Abaddon himself now seemed somewhat uneasy.

There's no way around it; this universe itself is truly disgraceful.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, Abaddon. This universe's affairs are none of our business; we're just here to clean them up."

The Wolf of Fenris saw the inner turmoil in his Scions's heart, but there was no need to dwell on such matters.

"I understand, Father, but when it comes to truly facing him, I still..."

Horus didn't say much; he simply patted Abaddon on the shoulder.

"Your dedication to the Imperium and your loyalty are beyond question, Abaddon. Have confidence in yourself."

"Yes, I understand."

Horus nodded, then ordered his Legions to head into the Warp.

"Warriors, we are about to face the XVI Legion of this world, but they are now called the Black Legion."

"We are the Luna Wolves of the Imperium, and you are also my Scions."

"Your loyalty and bravery have been proven; now bring to the traitors the death they deserve."

"Everything for humanity!"

The XVI Legion marched into the Warp in a mighty force.

However, before they even entered the Warp, the Chaos Gods and Daemon within Warp had already received the news.

"Another Wolf of Fenris?!"

When they saw this Wolf of Fenris, who was exactly the same as during the Great Crusade, and even more Primarch than before.

The Daemon panicked.

The four Chaos Gods in the Warp expended a great deal of effort when they plotted against the Wolf of Fenris.

Even the dying Wolf of Fenris took the Warp God seven days and seven nights to corrupt.

Now another Wolf of Fenris has appeared.

How can we fight like this?

Moreover, that Great Wall of Steel silently floats outside the Great Rift, completely blocking the most dangerous part of the entire Great Rift.

There's also that younger version of the Accursed, whose power is still irritating.

"Lord of Changes, how should we fight this battle?"

The Daemon of the Warp Allied Forces looked at Tzeentch, wanting an answer from him.

"Rest assured, my fellow citizens of the Sea of Souls. Ten thousand years ago we could corrupt the Wolf of Fenris, and ten thousand years later we can do the same."

"We already have a plan for the Wolf of Fenris."

Tzeentch's plan is quite simple; the most important elements are the current Black Legion and Abaddon the Despoiler.

Once the gates between the two worlds opened, Abaddon's identity as the protagonist of this timeline was gone; he had fulfilled his destiny.

Now that his identity is gone, he is considered a pawn that can be discarded at any time in Jianqi's plan.

Unfortunately, the Wolf of Fenris had already led his Legion into the Warp, meaning the Black Legion and the Despoiler had reached their doom.

"Rest assured, everyone, I will have the Black Legion hold back the Wolf of Fenris's army, and the Great Grandfather has already prepared a new poison."

"When the time is right, the Grandfather and the Prince of Pleasure will send their most capable men to bring the Wolf of Fenris back to our side."

The Black Legion distracted Horus, while the XIV Legion, the most resilient force, took on the pressure.

As for the rest, they were left to Fulgrim, the most skilled swordsman.

If he can wound the Wolf of Fenris, then everything will take a turn for the better.

"Therefore, in carrying out this plan, we need your help to hold back the frontal offensive of the Imperium of Man."

"Please believe me, we've reached this point, and I have no reason to play tricks on my brothers and sisters anymore."

Tzeentch's statement wasn't made lightly.

The pressure from Sinleech was immense; if he continued to outwit the Allied forces at this point, he would be no match for them.

"Indeed, as you say, the Lord of Changes, at this point, mutual suspicion is useless."

It is clear that the Imperium of Man has already risked everything, and in response, the Warp will also risk everything.

If we don't do this, there will be nothing left in the Warp.

"Very good, let's get started."

When the Warp Allied Forces mobilized, the Black Legion also mobilized, but they were forced to.

Now, whether it's the Great Abaddon the Despoiler, the Space Marines of the Black Legion, or the Daemon...

Anyone belonging to the Black Legion could clearly feel that they were being abandoned.

They were not only abandoned by the Chaos Gods of the Warp, but also abandoned by fate.

"Grown ups..."

"No need to say anything more. Since fate has brought us this far, then I should face it."

Ever since hearing the news of the Wolf of Fenris's descent into this world, Abaddon has remained seated in his chair without getting up.

He couldn't stand up.

Or rather, he wanted to stand up, but he couldn't.

Abaddon didn't know what he was feeling, but he just couldn't move.

"Notify all units to immediately engage in battle with the Luna Wolves."

When Abaddon said those words, he was neither as arrogant nor as spirited as before.

He sounded slightly tired, and his voice even trembled a little.

War has broken out with the Luna Wolves.

Luna Wolves.

Those were their names.

Now they're actually going to war with their former selves.

They had never imagined such a scenario.

Or perhaps in their minds, only those Emperor's Children who have become too arrogant would fantasize about such a scenario.

But now it's clear that the Emperor's Children have still kowtowed too much, and they are already facing certain death.

"Yes, sir, I will obey your orders."

So be it, so be it.

In the ten thousand years since that Horus Heresy, from the Luna Wolves to the Sons of Horus, and from the Sons of Horus to the Black Legion.

They fought in the Warp for ten thousand years and opposed the Imperium of Man for ten thousand years.

If they were to see their former selves again, they wouldn't ask for forgiveness; they would only ask for death.

And so, the entire Black Legion embarked on their final expedition.

The Fourteenth Black Crusade.

This will be the end of the entire Black Legion.

However, compared to the previous thirteen expeditions, this Black Crusade Legion not follow the usual pattern.

They were like corpses, carrying out the war orders like walking dead.

Meanwhile, Horus, after leading his Legions into the Warp, quickly locked onto his target.

However, at the same time, his Legion also issued a warning.

This is a conspiracy by Chaos Gods.

"It seems the Black Legion's days are numbered; their fate has come to an end."

"Whatever the Chaos Gods's conspiracy may be, we are destined to fight the Black Legion. Prepare for battle."
