Warhammer: Lord of the Endless Monsters

Chapter 518 Titus's Fierce Offensive: First Slaying the Demon Prince, Then Battling Mortarion
It's time to deal with that bastard Mortarian.

“Great master, everything is proceeding according to your plan. Mortarion now thinks he can suppress you, and you even have a wife!” Tartarus said.

Tarian had no idea that this was all a show staged for him, designed to lure him to a planet and then capture him alive.

During the last Terra Expedition, Rhodes originally planned to capture Magnus alive and then hold a public trial to execute a traitorous Primarch in front of everyone.

Now Rhodes has finally got his chance!

“Let’s go! We’re heading to the battlefield too,” Rhodes said.

"Master! Who will you be taking with you this time?" Tartarus bowed to Rhodes and asked.

“You overestimate Mortarian! I don’t need to bring anyone with me to deal with him. Just you and I are enough,” Rhodes said with a smile.

It's just a small Mortarian. Even if I don't go, my Stand, the Babar alien, should be able to handle him. My only job is to go and bring him back!

“Understood, great master, let’s go.” Tartarus nodded, reached out and opened a golden portal, and stepped into it with Rhodes.

Time rewinds to several hours earlier.

In the pitch-black depths of space, the Unyielding Expedition First Fleet encountered the plague army led by Mortarion.

The Imperial fleet was attacked immediately after encountering the Chaos Fleet, with countless corrupted demonic weapons roaring as they bombarded it.

The newcomer Bavar, seated on the bridge, also issued a counterattack order in Rhodes' name, activating the Void Shield to its fullest extent and supporting the Energy Shield.

"Warriors of the Empire, the great enemy of Chaos has arrived! Fight bravely and live up to the Emperor's trust!" The Babar alien, impersonating Rhodes, shouted loudly on the bridge.

"For the Empire! For the Emperor!"

"Destroy these Chaos traitors! Open fire!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Imperial destroyers and cruisers lined up in a row, launching a counterattack against the Chaos army ahead. The macro cannons and light spears on the ships roared, and torpedoes were launched one after another, aiming at the Chaos fleet's ships.

Boom! Boom! The void psionic shields of the Chaos Fleet shimmered with light.

Meanwhile, on the Space Marine side, Rhodes' Gene, under the Primarch's orders, boarded a small landing craft and began the boarding operation.

Accompanying them were Imperial assault squads and combat nun units. With flashes of blue light, Rhodes' genetic offspring used teleportation bracelets to directly enter the Chaos Star Warriors' ships.

Countless Space Marines, wielding their chainsaw swords and kinetic weapons, charged into the enemy's lair and clashed with the Chaos Demons.

Chaos Hell Beasts, and Demon Machines.

Large numbers of Chaos Space Marines, Chaos Wizards, and Chaos Followers attacked the boarding Space Marines.

Evil psionic spells flew wildly, and bullet guns roared through the cramped spaceship!

It wasn't just the Empire that launched a boarding operation; the Chaos Space Marines also engaged in one. However, their landing craft were blocked by energy shields just as they were about to reach Rhodes Fleet.

A large number of King Joe droids flew out of Rhodes' mothership. These Titan units, capable of fighting in space, combined with the Imperium's flight weapons, began a fierce attack on the Chaos Space Marines who boarded the ships.

After leaving the cabin, Jin Guqiao quickly dispersed into four independent individuals, and then launched an attack on the Chaos boarding ship in front of him, blasting them into fragments in space.

Even Space Marines, once exposed to outer space, are powerless to resist and are quickly killed by the coldness of space, or by various forms of bombardment.

"Order the Chaos Wizards to use psionic spells to teleport directly into their cabins," Mortarion, who was in charge of command on his flagship, said.

Following Mortarion's orders, a new round of boarding operations began, with the Chaos Fleet using psionic magic to teleport onto Imperial ships and launch attacks.

Meanwhile, the Space Marines and Battle Sisters who remained behind, along with the mortal forces, engaged in fierce battles with them.

"Destroy these traitors! Destroy these damned heretics!"

"Sisters, the Mother of Genes is watching us! Long live the Daughters of Ice and Snow!" a tall, battle-hardened nun roared, raising her chainsaw sword.

Using gene seeds from Elena, the nuns can manipulate the power of ice, emanating a chilling aura.

They froze those chaotic evil spirits who dared to fight them in close combat into ice sculptures, and then smashed them.

"Kill! Annihilate the False Emperor's lackeys!" the Chaos Space Marine roared as he clashed with the somewhat unfamiliar Battle Sisters.

After undergoing Space Marine modification surgery, these battle nuns, whose implanted gene seeds made them no less powerful than the Space Marines, were also more devout.

She's a twisted, upgraded version of a crazy woman.

“The new Imperial Primarch will die by my hand,” Mortarion said with a loud laugh.

I must win this war, I must fulfill my father's mission, otherwise I will be unable to wash away the shame, unable to erase the immense shame that Typhon has brought upon me.

"For the mercy of Nurgle!" The festering Death Guard smashed through the blister pack door, spraying putrid pus into the corridor.

The plague warrior leading the squad had just raised his bomb gun when three ice spikes pierced his head—the combat nun squad's icy armor gleamed with a cold, eerie blue light in the dimly lit ship corridor.

Just then, a hell beast roared and charged over. Several battle nuns joined forces and unleashed a powerful ice force, instantly freezing the hell beast in front of them into an ice sculpture.

"Pathetic imposter, you face a true Space Marine. I have come to grant you salvation through death." The hoarse voice of the Death Guard Chaos Space Marine Champion came from beneath his helmet as his scythe slashed at the last Sister Captain who held aloft her chainsword.

"Clang!" The two weapons clashed together.

The moment the chainsaw sword clashed with the plague scythe, the energies of ice and venom clashed violently, creating a visible shockwave.

The battle nun captain was forced back several steps, but her eyes still burned with a fanatical fighting spirit. "Heretics...you will be purified! For the Mother of Genes."

She growled, and the chainsword roared once more, sharp ice crystals condensing on its blade, blessed by the icy bloodline of the Great Mother of Genetics. The Chaos Space Marine let out a hoarse laugh, pus oozing from beneath his rotting visor: "Foolish Imperial lackeys, you have no understanding of the Father's grace!"

He swung his scythe violently, and a toxin-laden miasma erupted, corroding the surrounding metal walls.

"With the pure bloodline of the Mother of Genes! Judgment of Ice!" The battle nun captain's chainsword, raised high, suddenly unleashed a polar storm, freezing the surging plague cloud into blue ice shards.

The Chaos Space Marine Champion's bloated body began to crack as he was horrified to discover that his Father's Blessing was being covered by some ancient, icy law, and the chainsaw sword pierced precisely into the Chaos Space Marine's skull.

You're the champion of Chaos, so what? I'm also a benefactor of a great mother.

Meanwhile, Titus, who was leading the Space Marines on a boarding mission, also faced off against a Chaos Demon Prince.

“You lackeys of the false emperor, you are courting death.” Nurgle, the Chaos Demon Prince, let out a sinister laugh.

"For Lord Rhodes, my fellow monks, vanquish the heretics before us!" Titus brandished his massive power sword and led the charge forward.

The two weapons collided, and the Chaos Demon Prince was sent flying backward.

"This is impossible! How could you possess such power?" The demon prince looked incredulous. He had been blessed by his benevolent father and had sacrificed billions of mortals to complete his ascension ritual.

“Foolish traitor, you don’t deserve to live! Death is your best end!” Titus roared, brandishing his power sword.

"You will witness the blessing of the merciful father, and I will show you just how vast the difference is between mortals and me!" the Chaos Demon Prince roared.

Corrupted energy surged forth from his body, and countless forces of warp chaos caused the demon prince's body to grow enormous, instantly transforming him into a terrifying creature 60 meters tall with a wingspan of 80 meters.

"This is the blessing of the great and benevolent Father! Mortals, witness my power now!" the Chaos Demon Prince said proudly.

"Don't think you're the only one who can grow to gigantic size." Titus sneered, activated his super beast transformation, and his body instantly transformed into a giant over 60 meters tall.

Then, roaring, he charged towards the demon prince before him. For the sake of the great Father of Genetics, he would tear his enemy to shreds.

The Chaos Demon Prince's body swelled under the corruption of the warp, pus and maggots gushing from beneath his festering skin, and his decaying wings spread out, obscuring the entire battlefield.

His laughter was like a plague storm, carrying the wails of countless dead souls: "Look, you lackey of the false emperor! This is the true blessing of the benevolent father! Your flesh and blood will eventually rot, and your soul will eventually return to the plague garden!"

“Not today.” Titus swung his sword fiercely.

Two colossal beasts clashed amidst the wreckage of the warship, each collision sending tremors through the warp. The demon prince's corrupted scythe swung down, but Titus dodged to the side, the scythe slicing into the side of the warship.
Titus seized the opportunity and plunged his power sword deep into the demon prince's abdomen, causing pus and blood to gush out like a waterfall.

"Poor mortal! You cannot kill me! The grace of the Father makes me eternal!"

The demon prince grinned maliciously as his wounds healed at a visible speed, maggots wriggling among his flesh and blood, reweaving his body.

Without a word, Titus activated his power sword, its decomposition field humming as it struck the demon prince's head.

"Then let's see if your loving father can save you a second time!"

The demon prince's head exploded like a rotten pumpkin, but the next second, countless maggots poured out from his neck and reformed into a distorted face.

Titus's power sword was enveloped in holy flames. With a single strike, he cleaved the demon prince's body in two, the wound burning with an inextinguishable flame of purification.

Not long ago, Titus fused with a cosmic beast, which also possessed fire attributes and a powerful holy fire capable of burning the souls of demons. This was a blessing given to Titus by Rhodes using the Emperor's spiritual power.

The demon prince was unkillable to others, but Titus, by borrowing the power of the Emperor's incarnation, was able to slay him.

He took great care of Rhodes, his most capable general, even making his power armor out of extradimensional metal.

Moreover, this extradimensional metal was taken from the body of an emperor avatar and is a sacred armor blessed by the emperor's psychic power.

"No! This is impossible! Great Father! Save me!!"

The demon prince's wails echoed through the warp, but Nurgle's corrupting power was completely incinerated. His flesh and blood carbonized in the flames, eventually turning into a pile of ashes.

Titus stood on the shattered battlefield, his body slowly returning to normal, his power armor stained with the tainted blood of demons. He raised his power sword and roared at the surviving Space Marines: "Victory belongs to the Emperor! Victory belongs to Lord Rhodes! Keep going! Slaughter these traitors!"

"For the Father of Genes!!" the Space Marines responded fervently, their chainswords clattering and their bomb-wielding rifles roaring as they continued their advance into the depths of the Chaos Fleet.

Slay all enemies in front of you.

"..." Mortarion, who was sitting on the ship, also saw this incomparably powerful warrior.

Seeing his impressive feat of slaying the demon prince, it was clear that this was no ordinary demon prince, but the one who had completed his upgrade and could grow to enormous size!

In terms of strength, he's not even weaker than him, damn it! If one of his deputy legion commanders has this kind of combat power, then what kind of combat power does Rhode himself possess?
Can I really win? But no matter what, I have to bite the bullet and go for it.

Mortarion silently wielded his massive, powered scythe and headed toward Titus.

Fortunately, his loving father blessed him, and his strength has increased compared to a few months ago.

Mortarian's footsteps echoed on the decaying deck, his breathing mask spewing out toxic miasma, and his withered scepter leaving a trail of rotting psionic energy.

“A lackey of a false emperor dared to slaughter the favorite son of a great and benevolent father.”

His voice was like the whispers of a million corpses in a tomb, with the Death Guard Terminators following silently behind, their decaying power armor crawling with Nurgle.

Titus looked up as the visual sensors on his power armor flashed warning runes under the psionic pressure of the Death Primarch; before him stood a corrupted Primarch.

But he did not back down; the sacred flames on his power sword continued to burn.

"Motalian, your time is over, traitor." Titus's voice came through his helmet, deep and resolute.

Despite facing a Primarch, he remained fearless. Today, for the sake of the Father of Gene, he would defeat Mortarion here.
