Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!.

Chapter 566 06.0565: "Confrontation"

The adamantine bulkhead was caked with a mucus that had the luster of mother-of-pearl, and the path along which the demon host had crawled was oozing out geometric patterns of the sixth sacred number.

The viscous black-purple liquid, like promethium, made a muffled sound like the movement of a uterus every seven seconds, etching the imperial eagle emblem on the Roman columns of the cabin wall into the evil emblem of a hedonist.

There was no doubt that even if the beast was dealt with, this entire corridor would have to be dismantled and reassembled by the technical priests after the war.

"The analyzer shows that this is the molting mark of the descendants of Shalish." The rosary scroll on the inside of Arabella's mask automatically unfolded, and the battle sister's eyepiece locked onto the tiny succubus embryo swimming in the mucus. "Six-fold spiral claw marks, which conforms to the characteristics of the Pioneer of Pleasure recorded in Chapter CXIX of "Demonology Fragments"."

The Saint Iron Halo on Horatio's power backpack vibrated like boiling holy oil, and the Martyr's Reliquary on the shoulders of the Fine Power Armor and the Holy Rose Rosary on his waist simultaneously emitted a silver glow that could drive away evil spirits. "When I stuff that bastard's limbs into the incinerator, it will regret choosing to build its nest in my battleship."

Continuing forward for a distance, the hum of the Tactical swarm suddenly turned into a sharp binary wail.

The pile of corpses they surrounded presented a strange artistry - the corpses of forty-eight Navy Security Force soldiers were forcibly and twisted into a 6*6 posture, kneeling in worship of the Prince of Pleasure, and the blood that had not yet coagulated in the gravity-free environment coagulated into a suspended inverted eight-pointed star.

"May the Emperor have mercy."

Arabella drew the symbol of the Sky Eagle on her chest, and the ascetic's ashes embedded in the armor began to spontaneously combust into sparks.

She scattered ashes on the corpses. When everything was ready, she asked a sister holding a holy promethium sprayer to pull the trigger at the evil totem, turning the entire evil human totem into ashes.

"The pituitary glands of these sacrificed warriors were replaced with lust glands. These things can promote the growth of evil energy."

Horatio's iron fist smashed against the bleeding bulkhead, knocking off several pearly wombs hanging on the wall, which shattered when they hit the ground:
“Commissioner Carson at least interrupted the beast’s evolution ritual. We will avenge these sacrificed Divine Emperor warriors.

Speed ​​up and stop it before it reaches the Geller force field zone!"

His iron hand holding the chainsword tightened, and everyone quickened their pace.

When everyone rushed into the end entrance of D-7 deck, the scene before them made him gasp.

The entire corridor was experiencing a mass of flesh and blood.

The Imperial double-headed eagle melted into a totem of indulgence in the acidic slime, and every inch of metal grew throbbing ganglia of pleasure.

The chainsaw sword of Military Prisoner Carson was knocked away and wedged deeply into the living wall. The blade corroded by digestive fluid was oozing tears of repentance oil.

"His blessing...hiss...brighter than the stars..." An inhuman guttural voice came from the end of the darkness. The corpses of twelve Navy security force members whose spinal cords had been drained suddenly floated up, their bone marrow was extracted in mid-air, and were pieced together into a blasphemous throne in the twisted power of the warp.

The evil monster sitting on it is enough to make even the most determined Astra Militarum stumble back -

Its spine pierced through the charred epidermis and grew in a spiral upward, forming three pairs of curved horns with marrow fluid flowing through them; where the cheeks should have been split into six fluttering charming compound eyes, each pupil reflecting the hue of a different joyful evil god; most of the face had undergone a deformed mutation, and the twisted spiral bone growths broke through the human skull and were covered by a layer of purple gelatinous flesh.

"Bah! Even if you kill all my men, you'll never get through, you evil creature!" Military Supervisor Carson raised his bolt pistol tremblingly and opened fire first.

The high-speed bullet turned into mother-of-pearl half a meter in front of the mutant, hitting the monster neither lightly nor heavily, bounced off, fell to the ground, and became a new gestational womb.

In a ridiculous counterattack, the monster raised its left arm claw, and the three security soldiers were instantly squeezed into bone balls with minced meat strips hanging on them by an invisible force. Blood plasma was injected into the eight-pointed star array floating on its chest in a counterclockwise vortex.

The moment he saw this scene, the communication hymn beads beside Horatio's ears burst into a shrill sound.

The screams of the warp sounded like a ghost's nails scraping across the curtain of reality, making a creepy and piercing sound.

An artificial barrier was created between the reinforcements and the hard-fought naval security forces. "Tsk! You want to stop us with such a petty trick!" Horatio took a look and without saying a word, he picked up the chainsaw sword and cut the flesh membrane attached to the hatch.

Immediately afterwards, the Punishment Mecha strode forward and tore the last barrier apart with its high-speed rotating saw blade.

When the crowd of people who came to help rushed towards the evil spirit, the whole corridor suddenly shook like a baby crying.

"In the name of the Lord of Mankind! Grant me the power of sincere consecration! The evil spirits retreat!!"

Arabella shouted a warning and rushed to the front, using the "consecrated shield" composed of the power of faith to block the sonic attack that was powerful enough to kill a person's internal organs.

The nuns' visors instantly switched to anti-pollution mode - in those seemingly ordinary metal joints, the tight air molds were shielding against the invasion of evil energy.

The seriously injured Military Supervisor Commissioner Carson knelt on one knee in a pool of blood. His ceramic steel breastplate was torn by five claw marks, revealing the charred flesh underneath.

When he saw the reinforcements, he pulled a grim smile from his bloodstained mouth: "Captain, Sister, you are finally here. This bastard tore sixty brothers to pieces! I have done my best. Please drive away this evil spirit!"

The demon host slowly stood up from the profane throne, and the six suspended corpses suddenly exploded into purple blood mist.

The corpses did not fall to the ground, but condensed into six long spinal whips in the air, each with ever-proliferating finger bones growing at the end.

"The target has the mark of the evil god's blessing!" Arabella's eyepiece flashed with a golden data stream, "We must purify this area as soon as possible! Otherwise, it will become more powerful!"

This bad news made Horatio's temple throb.

He saw that the Imperial eagle emblems that had been corroded by the slime were being reorganized, and the metal fragments were recast into an inverted eight-pointed star under the power of the Warp.

At a certain moment, he seemed to hear the Epic's keel groaning as it could not bear the heavy burden.

"Holy Image Array!"

Under the guidance of the tactical drones that risked their lives to approach, six golden statues of the Emperor rose from the power armor shrines. The pure gold statues of the Emperor shone in the psychic storm - this was the special equipment of the Holy Rose Angels that distinguished them from the Battle Sisters.

Wherever the light passed, the proliferating tissues struggled and curled up like vampires exposed to the scorching sun.

The eight-pointed star array on the Demon Host's chest burst out with curses in seven hundred languages, and six wildly flying spinal whips shredded the Tactical Machines swarm into metal fragments.

Horatio seized this fleeting opportunity, swung the chainsaw sword with his iron hand and stabbed it straight into the opponent's heart, but the blade stopped half an inch away from the skin.

Six charming and enchanting compound eyes turned to Horatio at the same time, and in the moment of being stared at, a feeling as if a cold snake's tongue was licking his memory arose from beneath the surface of his skin.

Suddenly, the scene in front of him changed.

The teardrop mole on the lover's face, the scent of his son Horace's fetal hair, the white chrysanthemums at his nun mother's funeral. These precious fragments are being violently reviewed by some force.

[No! Where does the 'funeral of the nun mother' come from?! Neither I nor the original owner have any memory of this!]
Just like when Sanguinius faced false memories, he saw the gentle side of the Lord of Mankind that he had never seen before.

The instant realization that something was wrong brought Horatio back to his senses from his fantasy, just like Sanguinius had done back then.
