Warhammer: Lord of the Endless Monsters

Chapter 565 The Chaos God's Conspiracy, The Barrier to Reality is Broken

Khorne's brass throne trembled in the sea of ​​blood, and the steps made of skulls collapsed because of his master's maniacal laughter.

“The wails of Slaanesh are more beautiful than the screams of mortals!” Blood God brandished his giant axe, the blade cleaving through warp space, creating a chasm that stretched for miles. “But if this is an Emperor’s trap—then it’s not worth the risk. Shall we wait and see?”

To be honest, he didn't care about either Slaanesh or this kid who accidentally inherited Slaanesh's power. As long as the other party possessed this power, they were his enemy. What he wanted to do most was to eliminate Slaanesh, not to save him.

So whether or not there was a trap, he didn't want to save Slaanesh.

“This is not a trap, it is murder.” Tzeentch’s thousand-faced mouth simultaneously spewed out the cold truth and the burning lie, and the crystal labyrinth twisted into a Möbius strip at his feet.

"Look at the ripples in the real universe; this is a premeditated conspiracy."

A projection of the Holy Terra appears in the mist: the light bursting from the Golden Throne is like a supernova, and a psionic matrix composed of thirty-six imperial avatars forcibly pulls the Chaos Godhead out of Vograim's chest. The emperor is using some means to extract the Chaos Godhead.

"What is that? That seems to be our manifestation," Khorne asked.

This thing seems to be a manifestation of their divine power, an indescribable feeling, as if it were themselves.

“Do you know something?” Nurgle asked.

He always felt that Vashtor and Tzeentch must know something he didn't.

Even the reason he lost the previous plague war was largely because these guys wanted him to be cannon fodder and draw away the Empire's power.

Or perhaps we should test the current human emperor to see what level he is at.
"Don't you understand now? This is the limitation of our power, this is the source of our power, the supreme godhood in the 10 spaces, the Chaos Godhood."

The human emperor is planning to extract the Chaos Godhead and completely annihilate a Chaos Evil God.

This is indeed a good thing for you, Khorne. You and Slaanesh are mortal enemies, and you both wish the other dead.

"But if the Emperor can kill Slaanesh, then he can also kill the three of us," Tzeentch said.

This is the most troublesome thing. The four of them are immortal beings, and they are rules that cannot be killed or destroyed.

Or rather, it's an emotion within the universe; as long as intelligent life exists in this universe, they will not perish.

They are bound to the High Heaven, also known as the Subspace, and are the great Chaos Gods.

Everything before was like a game to them, a game they could play around with, a great and eternal game.

But now the human emperor is trying to change the rules of the game, turning it into a killing spree, which is tantamount to overturning the table and destroying the interests of everyone.

"The truth is indeed as Tzeentch said; that thing is the Chaos Godhead, and the Emperor is currently retrieving it."

Humanity is using some means to completely annihilate a Chaos God, and the instigators are the human emperor and that human named Rhodes. At this point, Vashtor no longer intended to hide anything and revealed everything he knew.

“How is this possible? We are immortal beings, we are eternal gods. As long as the warp is not destroyed, as long as the great Chaos World and the great High Heaven do not perish, then we will not be destroyed,” Khorne said.

For example, if he were to master war, violence, and sadism in the universe, as long as intelligent life still possesses these three emotions and as long as intelligent life still knows how to kill, then his power would be inexhaustible.

He was the first Chaos God to be born, evolving through mutual slaughter among life forms.

"That was before. Things are different now. Humans have been getting stronger, and you've probably noticed that human named Rhodes by now!"

The creatures and machines he conjured out of thin air did not originate from our universe.

In other words, there exists a plane that is more advanced and more powerful than ours.

"We so-called multiverse-level gods only exist within all timelines; we haven't transcended this universe yet," Vashtor said.

"How is this possible? There are other universes, and this human named Rhodes actually comes from another universe!"
"He can also summon things from other universes into our world." Khorne said in disbelief, as towering red waves of blood surged violently in the warp, representing the extreme complexity of the blood god's emotions.

If there are other universes besides their own, then what are these so-called multiverse-level gods?

They haven't even left their own universe yet, which seems so ridiculous and laughable, like a country bumpkin proclaiming to the world's richest man how incredibly wealthy he is. But in reality, this country bumpkin hasn't even left his own village; he's only rich in his own village, yet he thinks he's the world's richest man.

“I’m telling the truth. I’ve been observing him for a long time, and haven’t you noticed?”

His soul did not initially exist in the Ya Space; he was not a life form born in our world, but came from another world.

"The universe has already changed, and we can no longer see the future," Vashtor said.

The level of warp gods transcends the concept of time. In theory, they can travel freely between the past and the future, showing everything in the future to beings in the past.

But can you guys really see the future now? The future has become uncertain, although that's a good thing for the Lord of Change.

“This is not a good thing, not a good thing for any of us,” Tzeentch said.

It's certainly a good thing that huge changes are happening in the universe, but these changes are all things he knows the outcome of. If he didn't know the outcome, then it wouldn't be a good thing.

Powerful beings from other universes, powerful life forms from other universes—no wonder the Emperor protected this kid named Rhodes, no wonder he hid him so deeply.

If Vastor hadn't revealed his true identity, they would all have thought that Rhodes was just a special genetic prototype created by the Emperor.

"That explains everything. Those special life forms called Cosmic Beasts were brought from other universes. Our universe has never had such a thing."

Cosmic Beasts are somewhat similar to the initial state of Cosmic Star Gods, but they are also fundamentally different.

They initially thought it was a variant of a cosmic star god, but they never expected it to be something from another universe.

“We must unite. We can no longer play the Great Eternal Game and then fight amongst ourselves. We must unite to completely destroy the Emperor of Man and this guy named Rhodes,” Tzeentch said.

“Tzeentch is right. We can’t afford to fight amongst ourselves any longer. We must unite to deal with the Emperor of Man.”

Otherwise, one day this guy will completely wipe us out. If we don't unite, he will defeat us one by one," Nurgle said.

“I also have something to tell you. Your beloved goddess of life wasn’t actually stolen by the human emperor, but by that brat named Rhodes. He’s even pregnant with a child of the gods.” Vashtor further provoked Nurgle.

The cauldron of plague in Nurgle suddenly boiled, and the loving father stirred the greenish foam with his bone staff, the surface of which reflected Elsa's emerald hair. "My Elsa," he cried, tears of pus welling in his cloudy eyes.

That despicable bastard! That brat stole his bride! I'll make him pay! I'll make him pay! I'll utterly destroy him, destroy the human race, destroy the human empire!

“I agree to get involved in this matter. We must unite and absolutely cannot act on our own. If the Emperor obtains the Chaos Godhead, and if he uses the power of the Dark Lord to devour it, then his power will surpass all of ours,” Khorne said.

After much deliberation, Khorne also decided to join the war, because he could no longer stand idly by.

Otherwise, by the time disaster strikes, the others might already be dead. He's the most powerful of the Chaos Gods, so he should step forward now.

"But we are insulators of the real universe; we can only manifest a portion of our power into the real universe."

"We can't even interfere with humans traveling in the Warp, so how can we stop what's happening on Holy Terra?" Nurgle raised a crucial question.

It's not that they're afraid the Human Emperor can't defeat the Human Emperor, but rather that the Human Emperor exists in the real universe, which they simply can't cross over to and can't encounter any opponents.

“Haha, that was true before. We Chaos Gods existed in the warp, we were insulators in the real universe, we could never enter reality. But it’s different now. The Great Rift has opened, tearing a hole in the entire Milky Way. We can now intervene in the real universe much better,” Tzeentch said.

“At most, we can only send some powerful demons over there; our true forms still cannot go,” Nurgle said.

"I already said that it was the Emperor who was stripping away the Chaos Godhead in the past, but what he didn't know was that the Chaos Godhead is an insulator of the real universe."

He made the Chaos Godhead appear in the real universe, which meant that the area of ​​Holy Terra at that time became a place where the subspace and reality intertwined.

"The barrier of reality is about to shatter," Tzeentch said.
