Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 561: Brave Lord
The Legion fleet split into two and traveled along two branches of the Webway.

The location of Chemos is not a galaxy, but a subspace rift.

The rift itself has no name, for there are so many small-scale warp rifts like this that they are not worth naming.

It was being dragged towards the rift by the power of the Warp, looking like a purple tongue sticking out of the rift, swallowing Chemos.

The Emperor's Children Legion fleet was guarding Chemos. Every time Chemos moved one meter, the entire fleet moved one meter. The extremely abnormal unified mobilization ability showed that Fulgrim had obtained good things from his god again.

The fight started in two minutes.

A fleet leaves the Webway.

The Endurance, the White Knight, the Emperor's Shadow.

Two Queen of Glory-class ships and a heavy cruiser suddenly appeared, leading more than 400 warships. The Emperor's Children fleet immediately responded and gathered towards the uninvited guests.

The Emperor's Children fleet reacted so quickly that it seemed like... a single living being, rather than a huge fleet of huge ships.

The fleet formed a battle formation while moving automatically to fight against powerful enemies.

After the void war began, a branch fleet sailed out from an area far away from the void battlefield, and more than 200 warships headed directly towards Chemos.

Various orbital defense facilities were destroyed in less than a solar hour.

The fleet descended over Chemos and bombarded the surface.

Corax, who was in command of the branch fleet, then ordered that only ten ships be left to continue the orbital bombardment, and the rest would support Mortarion.

A task is underway on a frigate belonging to the World Eaters Librarian fleet.

"Are you sure you don't go down there wearing armor and carrying no weapons, or some iron men."

The quadrant and the suspended servo skeleton were dismantling Qin Xia's armor.

The ornate and heavy breastplate was removed and placed in a storage box with the World Eaters logo printed on it.

"I'm taking no one and nothing." Qin Xia's strong body was revealed as the pieces of armor were removed one by one.

After the armor was dismantled, the various weapons and equipment came next.

The book hanging on the waist, the pocket universe, the portable soulless person... a large number of odds and ends except the Book of the Fourfold Trials were taken down, and the servo skeletons mounted them with anti-gravity devices and put them into a box mixed with black stone.

Watcher Kang is also here, and he will be responsible for monitoring and guarding the contents of each black stone box.

"The Quadruple Trial was not the Laughing God's idea, it was my idea," Kang said.

"Your idea is for me to seize the concept and power of the Four Gods. You didn't say anything about the Fourfold Trial. You, like me, don't know how to achieve this intention." Qin Xia took down the Emperor's Book and handed it to Quadrant. "Besides, this is not your idea, it's mine."

"I came up with this idea with my compatriots before you arrived on Caliban," Kang said again.

Qin Xia was now only wearing a pair of shorts and the Book of Four-fold Trial tied to the elastic band of his shorts.

After the psychic message from Uslan was conveyed, Qin Xia walked forward.

When he passed by Watcher Kang, he stroked Kang's head and said, "You are right. Kang is wise after the event."

Kang has always been dissatisfied with this behavior. With his arms tucked into his sleeves and his entire shadowy body shrouded in his robe, he looks mysterious and majestic, but because he is too short, he always looks funny.

When Qin Xia walked through the equipment warehouse gate, Kang suddenly jumped up and hit Qin Xia's lower back with his head.

The robed little man, who had extremely fine control over psychic power, was almost knocked to the ground by the Lord of the White Knights.

When Qin Xia turned around, Kang closed the gate from a distance.

the other side.

Uslan sat in the cleared warehouse with his eyes closed, sensing everything with his psychic power.

He will provide guidance to Qin Xia and intervene forcefully when things go wrong.

When Qin Xia was teleported to the surface of Chemos, Uslan's eyes were also on him.

"I have already prepared the ceremony. The entire Chemos is the ceremony site."

"You will charge into Chemos in the most courageous way, fighting alone."

"Be careful to preserve things like skulls and pile them up. They'll be useful for rituals."

Qin Xia listened to Wu Silan's instructions and looked around.

Chemos.

A barren planet, Fulgrim's homeworld.

There are no people living a normal life on this planet now. The ruined cities are deserted, and people are either killed by the Emperor's Children or become slaves of them.

Almost all Space Marines are stationed on Chemos, using brutal methods to select new recruits who can undergo transformation surgery.

It is not known when they went to the Primarch's hometown to do evil, but the fact that they were not affected by the Warp storm and were able to reach Chemos quickly must have been helped by Slaanesh.

The Rebellion is not immune to the malevolence of the Warp, nor is it 100% immune to the Storm. The Emperor's Children were able to capture the planet so quickly and send it into the Warp rift because the Chaos Gods were no longer interested in acting.

“The fabric of reality here is so fragile it barely exists,” Uslan said.

The ships outside Chemos are conducting orbital bombardment on the planet's surface. However, no matter what kind of messy attack it is, it will disappear without a trace after entering Chemos.

"I can see that." Qin Xia retracted his gaze and walked forward.

Directly ahead is a fortress located among the planet's mountains.

Before the fleet began its attack, Death Guard and Raven Guard Space Marines had already entered Chemos via the Webway.

In the perfect strategic plan formulated by the two Primarchs, two companies of Emperor's Children Space Marines were separated from their friendly forces and surrounded, gradually squeezed into the mountain fortress, and then a force of about 30,000 Death Guards and Raven Guards besieged the mountain area.

They will not attack, and Mortarion and Corax will not ask Qin Xia the reason, they will only make this arrangement.

"Lord Brave and Martial." Qin Xia murmured, quickened his pace, and disappeared in the snow and wind.

……

A squad of ten Emperor's Children walked through the fortress.

The person leading this team is Lucius.

Lucius has been complaining since entering the fortress.

"We should all have gone into the Warp instead of coming to Chemos."

"The Primarch has gone mad, haven't you noticed?"

"Well now, Death Guard, Raven Guard... Space Marine Civil War... Damn it."

Lucius took a few steps and suddenly stopped, signaling the team members behind him to stop as well.

The Emperor's Children waited for a moment.

A minute later, Lucius suddenly burst into laughter, gasping for breath. When he had laughed enough, he said, "We waited for one minute and ten seconds. At this moment, my entire company was gone. No, you and I are the last survivors of the company."

The Emperor's Children looked at each other.

These newly reformed people had no idea why Lucius was laughing.

Is it ridiculous to think of an entire company being chopped off in the meat grinder of Space Marine Civil War?
"Don't be so nervous. I'll liven up the atmosphere." Lucius continued to lead the team forward. "When you see Cormoran, draw your guns and prepare for a fight. If I don't teach this kid a lesson, he won't give me half of his people."

The Emperor's Children reached for the safety on their bolters.

The group turned a fork in the road and suddenly stopped.

There was a person standing in the corridor ahead.

At first, Lucius thought that guy was one of his own and had just done something bad.

But looking up from the standard white shorts of the White Knight Think Tank, he saw Qin Xia's face.

Lucius had met Qin Xia during the greenskin annihilation battle in the Onus star sector.

The bolter opened fire.

A series of explosive bombs hit the psychic barrier, but failed to stop Qin Xia from rushing to the front of the Emperor's Sons in an instant.

The spiritual energy penetrated into every muscle, every bone, and even every inch of Qin Xia's skin.

The first Emperor's Son who engaged Qin Xia had his heart ripped out, compressed to the size of a sesame seed in Qin Xia's hand, and then flung out, piercing the head of the next Emperor's Son. With a punch and a kick, the breastplate was pierced, the modified organs were shattered, and in less than a minute, only Lucius was left standing.

The reason why Lucius was able to stand was that he had just used his sword to block Qin Xia's fist.

"Bio-psychic energy?" Lucius recalled the power that Qin Xia had just exploded with, surpassing the physique of a Space Marine. "A unique skill."

Qin Xia approaches Lucius.

Lucius lowered his body, sword in hand, alert.

The two of them approached each other tacitly.

At the moment of the battle, the sword in Lucius's hand was shattered by psychic energy, and the sword body turned into dozens of fragments and flew behind Qin Xia. At the same time, the face that was still quite handsome was smashed by Qin Xia's fist, and the helmet fragments were mixed with the skull.

After dealing with Lucius, Qin Xia picked up a power sword and cut off the heads of the Emperor's Sons and piled them together.

The fighting in the corridor has alerted the enemy.

A group of enemies patrolling nearby approached quickly. When they all raised their grenade launchers and opened fire, fragments of sword blades flew from nowhere, pierced their armor and chopped their internal organs.

"Can you complete the trial by using psychic energy so frequently?" Uslan asked.

"As far as I know, there are also wizards among those who believe in Khorne." Qin Xia said as he walked forward and cut off another batch of heads of the Emperor's Sons and piled them together.

After doing all this, Qin Xia suddenly remembered that there was still a gene seed that he hadn't taken, so he used his sword to dig out the gene seed of a Space Marine.

The gene seed looks like a ball of flesh with some tentacles growing out of it.

The gene seed of the Emperor's Son has mutated. When Qin Xia was looking at the seed, the gene seed suddenly grew a mouth and bit Qin Xia hard, then jumped off his palm and ran away.

Qin Xia took two steps at a time to catch up with the gene seed and then kicked it out. With a disgusting sound of "pop", the gene seed was kicked into a ball of rotten meat and stuck to the wall.

The remaining gene-seeds drilled themselves out of the host's chest and ran all over the ground.

"I think it's okay as long as they exist, they don't have to be caught," said Uslan.

"I think so too." Qin Xia continued to move forward.

More and more emperor's sons discovered the uninvited guests, and based on the places of death, they estimated Qin Xia's approximate location and immediately killed him.

When Qin Xia encounters multiple Emperor's Sons, he will not teleport away, but will kill them directly. Even if he has to use psychic spells to win the battle in the end, he will never avoid it.

The interior of the fortress is not narrow, but except for special passages, armored units cannot pass through. Only infantry can fight Qin Xia.

After killing a group of Space Marines, they piled up their skulls and dug out their gene-seed.

When you are tired, use psionic power to restore your strength. When you are injured, use psionic power to heal your wounds. Try to kill the enemy with the most brutal melee combat.

This is a mechanical and repetitive work.

When Qin Xia killed the 400th son of the emperor with a numb expression, he suddenly looked at the lights in the corridor and recalled the past in a trance.

That was when I went to the factory to earn money during the university holidays. I sat on the assembly line every day, and my job was to open empty cans one after another. The feeling at that time was the same as it is now, numb, empty-headed, repeating the same thing, even...

Qin Xia broke away from his memories and used his fist filled with psychic energy to punch through the breastplate of an Emperor's son.

Even work is opening cans.

This repetitive and mechanical killing continued until the 19th solar hour, when the 888th Son of the Emperor died in front of Qin Xia.

After throwing away the corpse, Qin Xia subconsciously turned around to look for other enemies, but saw that his back was covered with skulls.

The skulls converged into a staircase that reached up to the sky.

Gene-seed was laid like pebbles atop the skull stairs.

Qin Xia walked towards the stairs.

After climbing for a while, he felt that he had left the real universe and entered the subspace.

The Skull Steps became a plain.

Countless blood-red demons piled up on the Skull Plain, surrounding Qin Xia layer by layer.

The molten brass gathered into a rushing river, flowing between the mountains beyond the plains.

Qin Xia continued to move forward and came to a throne.

The crimson shadow sat on the brass throne, with a mountain of skulls at its feet.

That is the Blood God.

After meeting the Blood God, Qin Xia was certain that he had completed one of the four trials, "The Lord of Bravery".

The original plan might have called for the killing of more Space Marines, but it was not surprising that only 888 were killed to complete the ritual... In the original Great Heresy, Perturabo's promotion to Undivided Chaos Daemon Prince did not involve as many Imperial Fists gene-seeds as himself.

"..." The Blood God looked at Qin Xia without making any move.

But Qin Xia felt "surprised" for some unknown reason.

Then Khorne raised his hand, and the distance between Qin Xia and the brass throne was infinitely widened.

But at this moment, the Book of Quadruple Trial glowed and its shape changed from a book to a skull.

Qin Xia then realized that the Quadruple Trial itself was not a book, but a concept, a symbol, and its form could change in thousands of ways, just like the Black Library.

Then a portion of Khorne was pulled out.

Qin Xia couldn't sense how big or small that part was, he could only sense that it was a part of the subspace.

Symbolizes courage.

The projections produced in the subspace by the countless behaviors of the creatures in the real universe of using the weak to defeat the strong have converged into this part that is similar to the concept, but different from the concept and has substance.

Qin Xia took the initiative to accept this part of the power and teleported out of the subspace.

Khorne and Tzeentch, who tried to take action, had just started fighting, and then Slaanesh also joined the battle. Another great game between the gods was carried out in the middle area of ​​the gods' demonic realm in the warp. Countless demons gathered into a force enough to annihilate the real universe, and fought for their gods on the battlefield.

After returning to the real universe, Qin Xia ignored the disputes in the subspace and just wanted to do some serious work.

His mentality now... is like holding a hammer and seeing everyone as a nail.

Driven by this mentality, Qin Xia picked up a sword from the weapons piled on the ground and swung it hard forward.

……

The Endurance was engaging the Emperor's Pride.

A battle between two Glorious Queen-class battleships often takes a long time to decide the outcome.

Mortarion watched as Chemos considered his strategy.

A flash of blood suddenly appeared in the northern hemisphere of Chemos.

The blood light was sharp and straight. After it appeared, it dispersed the clouds in the entire northern hemisphere, like a sharp blade cutting across the top of the planet.

Mortarion suddenly felt that the spiritual energy content of the entire space had increased dramatically. He didn't know why he could sense it, but he just had a feeling.

This is proof that the structure of reality has been further weakened. Massive amounts of psychic energy are released from the subspace rifts and then filtered and used by Qin Xia.

The blood light formed by countless spiritual energies suddenly dissipated.

Then an entire land mass rose from the ground as the planet rotated and rose toward the orbit. The mass split during its rise, and they will become the rings of Chemos in the future.

"What is this..." Mortarion observed Chemos and subconsciously wanted Corax to come and take a look, but when he turned around, he found that Corax was not in the flagship.

Lask suddenly teleported behind the Primarch.

In the recent war on the surface, he was responsible for forcing a group of the Emperor's Children to gather together, and then led his troops to surround them without attacking.

"Then down there..." Mortarion turned and looked at his scion.

"Father, I don't know what happened at the fortress."

Lasker recalled what he had just seen.

"We were teleported out when the fortress and the entire land suddenly separated and rose up."

"As for now, whether the Lord of the White Knights survived this celestial disaster... I don't know."
