Warhammer: Lord of the Endless Monsters

Chapter 520 A Great Victory! The Lightforged Space Marine Program
Grabbing Mortarian, who was lying like a dead dog, with one hand, Titus flew directly back to his ship with him.

As a genetic offspring of Rhodes, and having undergone super-beast enhancement by fusing with cosmic mythical beasts, Titus can perfectly survive in outer space.

After the fall of Chaos's flagship, the morale of the human empire soared, and a deafening cheer erupted. The enemy's flagship had been destroyed, and Mortarion had been defeated!

"Long live the Empire!"

"Long live the father of genetics!"

Unlike the jubilant celebrations on the Empire's side, the morale on Chaos' side plummeted to its lowest point!
Are you kidding me? Our own demon prince and demon gene archetype have been defeated just like that?

“That piece of trash Mortarion, we really can’t trust him!” a Chaos Space Marine from the Death Guard cursed.

They were still fighting desperately on the front lines, battling these lackeys of the false emperor, when terrible news came from the rear: the Demon Prince had been killed, and then the Primarch had also been killed.

“What a damn waste! How could we be the offspring of such a person? He doesn’t deserve to be our genetic father.”

"Foolish thing! They got ganged up on and killed. We actually expected this kind of person to lead us to victory."

In an instant, news of Mortarion's defeat spread throughout the region, and all the Chaos Space Marines knew about it.

Mortalian, whose reputation and status within his own legion were already inferior to those of Typhons, instantly plummeted to his lowest point.

Nobody wants their genetic father to be a weakling, an idiot who can't beat anyone.

But Mortalian, the Primarch of the Death Guard, did just that, becoming the only one to be brutally beaten.

How could such a weak Primarch exist in this world, defeated twice in such a short time?

“My brothers, we have not failed yet. We still have countless Great Demons, and these Great Demons also have the ability to grow to enormous sizes. We will definitely be able to defeat that guy,” a Chaos Space Marine said.

"Great Demon? Ha! Look around! Those enormous Titan creations can hold back the Great Demon."

"The Hellbeasts are nothing but tiny specks compared to them, and they can fight in the universe—something even our Fallen Emperor-class Titans can't do," a Chaos Champion said.

They were defeated in this battle! A complete defeat. First, in terms of technology, they fell behind the new Titans used by the Empire, and those silver-red giants that could fly through space.

All of these dealt unimaginable damage to the Chaos Fleet, tearing it to shreds under the bombardment of their strange beams.

The chaotic demons were utterly powerless against these colossal beings; only the Demon Prince, the Great Demon Chaos Champion, could put up a fight against them.

And it has to be an upgraded version. If it's an unupgraded version, well, don't even get close to these huge guys, because you'll just get torn to shreds.

"It's time to retreat, our brothers. The Death Guard will not fall, and we can still count on Lord Typhons!"

Lord Typhon is attacking Macragge; he will surely be victorious.

“That’s right, we can’t lose our lives here. Retreat, everyone retreat!” The Chaos Space Marines were the first to retreat.

With the help of the Chaos Wizard, they used psionic teleportation to return directly to their boarding ship, and then fled at top speed with their tails between their legs.

Seeing their leader escape, some of the mortal followers of the Chaos Fleet immediately lost their will to fight.

They began to turn their ships around in preparation for escape, while Nurgle's demons, seeing that defeat was inevitable, also began to tear open rifts in the warp, preparing to return to the warp.

Demons are immortal; even if their bodies are destroyed, they can be reborn in the warp, but this rebirth takes time and energy.

If they were killed meaninglessly like this, they would be of no value to them, as they wouldn't even have plundered enough souls to return to the warp.

"The enemy is trying to escape! These degenerate traitors are trying to escape! Don't let them get away and attack!" the mortal naval commander roared.

"To pursue these Chaos traitors for the sake of the Empire."

The most swift-moving frigates and cruisers were the first to turn their bows around, preparing to pursue the Chaos fleet.

"All Imperial fleets, annihilate the warp lifeforms and Chaos traitors in their current positions. Do not pursue them. Enter the warp. This is the order." Just then, an order was broadcast over the main radio, and all human fleets ceased their pursuit.

The order was given by the Babar alien disguised as Rhodes. He was somewhat helpless at this moment. Originally, he should have been the one to deal with Mortarian, but his master's general was just too brave!

Is this for real?! Even I might not be a match for that guy!

That abnormal fighting spirit, that terrifying combat instinct, and that extremely ferocious fighting style are all incredibly frightening.

“Isn’t this great? We don’t have to participate in dangerous battles. Unlike you, I’m unlikely to be exposed if I fight,” said the Zarab alien disguised as Elena. “Hmph, idiot, get ready, our master will be here soon, and our role-playing mission is about to end,” said the Babar alien.

Almost simultaneously, all human fleets received orders from the Supreme Commander to cease pursuing the Chaos Fleet, annihilate the current Chaos Fleet, and not enter the warp.

“The commander is right. We cannot pursue them. The warp is too dangerous. It’s the territory of the demons. We can only rely on the Geller Force to protect ourselves.”

"Attention all crew members, do not tear the warp, do not activate the warp engines, aim all cannons at the Chaos Fleet, and annihilate these enemies."

The battle was drawing to a close. The Chaos forces that were unable to escape were surrounded and annihilated by Space Marines, Battle Sisters, and a large army of mortals.

This is a great victory, a great victory for the First Fleet! The Chaos Fleet led by Mortarion suffered an unimaginable defeat.

When Rhodes returned to his fleet, the battle was basically over, and the Babar and Zarab aliens gave Rhodes a detailed report of the situation.

“Great Master, the Demon Primarch has now been imprisoned in a stasis field,” the Babar alien said.

“We’ve arrived. I’ll go deal with the prisoners. After I leave, the two of you will continue to lead the First Fleet to begin the second round of the Unyielding Expedition,” Rhodes said.

Although this battle is over, Rhodes has no intention of going back. Why should he do it himself when his subordinates should lead the Unyielding Expedition?
"As you command, Master!"

Rhodes waved his hand, signaling his two subordinates to stay there, and then headed to the spaceship's prison.

Along the way, whenever they saw Rhodes in battle, the nuns and Space Marines stood up straight and saluted Rhodes with the Eagle Union salute.

"Bless you, great Primarch."

"The great father of genetics, this is an epic victory."

"Father of Genetics, did you see how bravely we fought? We have lived up to your name."

"I see, my warriors, my children, you have performed exceptionally well, and I am very satisfied with your battle!" Rhode greeted his genetic descendants with a smile.

No one was neglected; even Elena's genetic daughters, Rhodes, were greeted one by one.

The crowd cheered continuously. Rhodes knelt before him with the highest honors, and some of the mortal officers and sailors on the fleet also knelt down.

He shouted that he was the Crown Prince of the Empire and the future Emperor!
After dealing with everyone, Rhodes went to his cell in the spaceship's basement. Titus had been personally guarding him there ever since they captured the demonic Primarch, Mortarion.

They dared not slacken their efforts in the slightest; although their opponent had been defeated, he was, after all, a demon prince.

"Great Father of Genetics, you have arrived." Upon seeing Rhodes, Aetus immediately stepped forward, bowed, and then performed the Imperial Eagle salute.

"You truly amaze me, Titus! Your achievements leave me at a loss for how to reward you."

"I never expected that Mortarion would suffer such a crushing defeat at your hands." Rhodes stepped forward and patted Titus on the shoulder, saying.

Tai Ritian's combat power is still as fierce as ever. Even when he was just an ordinary Space Marine, he could tear apart the Demon Prince with his bare hands. After undergoing super beast transformation and fusing with the cosmic beast, this guy's strength has become even more formidable.

“I don’t need any reward. To be able to follow the great Father of Genetics, to fight for the Empire, and to fight for all mankind, is my greatest honor,” Titus nodded to Rhodes.

"You will still receive the rewards you deserve. Soon, I will be performing a Lightforging upgrade on you."

"This will grant you powerful light energy, and the cosmic beast within you will also receive an upgrade," Rhodes said.

After undergoing two energy enhancements, Zog, the Angel of Destruction, can infuse ordinary mortals with light energy, making them even more powerful.

The blessing of this radiant energy varies in strength. A strong blessing can transform someone into a giant, while a weaker blessing can still cause a qualitative change in their body, making them even stronger.

This new type of Space Marine, which Rhodes calls Lightforged Super Space Marine, is a new type of Space Marine.

Rhodes intends to bestow this honor first upon Titus, a new forging of the energy of light.

It can bring the cosmic beasts within Titan's body to the level of normal cosmic beasts, allowing Titan's strength to reach that of a Primarch.

Other Space Marines will also receive the blessing of the angels' light energy, gaining Lightforged status and becoming new Lightforged Space Marines.

“Thank you for your trust, great father of genes,” Titus said.
