Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 559 Omega, I've come to save you

Since the start of Randan's full-scale invasion, the Imperial world of Baal Savor has fallen.

Brutal aliens enslave most of the empire's population.

Among the survivors exiled to other worlds, there are tales of the Emperor's Death Angel, a majestic and towering warrior, who saved them.

He was bald, wielding a giant spear, slaying wild beasts and aliens, and shouting at them, "Hurry up and board the space shuttle, I will follow closely behind."

They never saw that soldier again.

On the eastern horizon of Bar Savor, in the suburbs of Haidana, stands a row of chimneys and cooling towers.

Low-voltage power towers supply the silvery-white building complex with immense energy, while the structures drag rotting corpses as offerings to their creators.

Inside a tower-shaped building, the Shros, shrouded in shrouds, move through the space centered around a gray columned cage.

The gray pillar was enveloped by a green energy field, and a tall giant stood within the cage of necrotic energy.

Omega calmly looked around. He had tried twenty different methods, but still couldn't break free of the cage. He didn't try again until he came up with a new solution.

The necrotic mucus could also cause considerable damage to his naturally superior physique; on one occasion, he was unconscious for a long time.

He watched indifferently as the worm-men passed through the pillar, drawing blood from him or cutting off pieces of flesh and tissue.

Physical injuries are much easier to heal than necrotic injuries.

Through observation, Omega also understood the alien's purpose: to study him and enslave him.

He saw a worm-man approach the pillars, raise his staff, and as evil runes flashed, green light simultaneously shot from the tops of the twenty pillars.

Omega's body trembled, but he did not utter a sound of pain.

It was partly because he was paralyzed, and partly because he didn't want to show his fear to the alien.

The worm-man's body suddenly swelled, and to prevent a possible counterattack from Omega, he circled around.

The needle pierced Omega's left leg, and blood gushed into the syringe.

The Schlossers tried using experimental equipment, but any equipment was destroyed by this man full of secrets.

Sensing the tremor, the worms quickly retracted.

The enormous fist slammed into the worm's body, and dozens of maggots fell to the ground with a thud.

The worms writhed and twisted, carrying the collected blood back with them.

Shlos suddenly swelled up, and swarms of worms carrying syringes leaped in front of the energy field, the speaker emitting a ghostly light.

"Omega, give in! You can't hold out much longer."

“Dream on!” Omega said coldly.

A series of rustling sounds arose, and Omega turned his head to look.

He saw clumps of restless worms writhing under the hood and realized something seemed to have happened.

[Is the Empire launching a counter-offensive?]
Omega didn't have high hopes for the changes; he had seen the corpses of those Astartes, devoured by the worm-men like food.

[Perhaps only those Primarchs, as the people call them, have the potential to defeat that worm-man.]
He searched among the worm-men for that evil figure.

At the same moment, they were transported to the Shadow of Reign in the real world.

After receiving the Bone Eater arms sacrificed by Howard Finder, Ramsay, and others, Nimrod returned to the real world.

After arriving at the bridge, he inspected the holographic strategic table.

As I remembered, Schloss's fleet was not large.

After handing over the Void Wars to Luther, Glenn Wosotto, and Diana Bolin, Nimrod retrieved Baal Sarvor's Imperial data.

He glanced at the hologram and zoomed in on a major southern continent.

A series of labels flashed by until a huge urban cluster appeared.

There were residential areas and manufacturing plants scattered around a central starport.

Haidana.

"According to the Auger matrix scan, the city has no signs of life; it is a dead city."

Ning Lu raised his hand and tapped on the power plant area, 120 kilometers north of the spaceport.

"Prepare to teleport."

"Parameter settings, positioning error of one kilometer, non-lethal physicalization success rate of 95%."

“Summon the chief pharmacist and Garland Surak.”

Although the Empire's world inevitably underwent destructive changes after Shrews's takeover, he remembered Alpharis leading the team to successfully complete the secret teleportation. [Omega, I've come to save you.]
Ninglu stared at the area below. He knew that among the many Shros, there was a Primarch-level powerhouse who surpassed the Destroyer.

In the blink of an eye, he defeated the grown-up Alphareth.

He knocked away Alpharis's twin blades of Sarizanata, which decades later became known as the Pale Spear.

The think tank director, Kurul, sacrificed his life to activate his psionic powers, creating a brief stalemate with Shlos. Alphareis then seized the opportunity to throw an armor-piercing grenade, which detonated from the inside, killing Shlos.

[Besides Talos, only on the homeworld of Randan is it possible to encounter a stronger Sloth.]
While Nimrod was pondering, Mikel and Garland arrived at the bridge.

After the two bowed, the Primarch sent a thought pulse to Mikel.

"Your task is to obtain Schloss's experimental data and biological samples."

Mikel bowed slightly to the Black Emperor to indicate that he had received the order.

The combined fleet, with overwhelming naval superiority, defeated five disc-shaped Schloss warships and the spiked and flail-laden warships of Randan.

The communication bead in Alsena Dunn's ear beeped. He pressed the button to listen and then spoke to report.

"Based on the curvature of Bal Savor's planet, it is estimated that we will enter the theoretical maximum teleportation distance range of the target location in one minute."

Ning Lu nodded slightly and led the eleven chosen individuals, including Luther, onto the teleportation platform.

The teleporter's light intensified rapidly, becoming blindingly bright, before the platform's runes lit up.

Bar Savor, a northern suburb of Haidana, is bathed in blinding light.

The group materialized five meters above the ground, and the bright light immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding structures, which moved in groups of three to five.

The metal collided with the concrete, producing a cracking sound.

Garland looked down at the many constructs. It had seen the broken limbs of these constructs in the laboratory, but this was the first time it had seen their complete forms.

Their lower bodies consist of three flexible metal legs with spiked ends, allowing them to move erratically and hastily.

Its upper part is seamlessly connected to its pale, stalk-like fleshy body, and in the center of its body is a huge, beast-like maw with sharp teeth, surrounded by whipping tendrils.

Once the threat was located, one or two from each team charged straight at it, while the rest raised their arms, and their built-in devices fired green necrotic beams, spraying bullets wildly.

The others dodged, but Garland was a little slower, and a beam of light shot straight into his chest.

Golden flames shot out and collided with the green beam of light.

With a loud bang, Garan landed, and Lord Ninglu flew past swiftly, his golden wings flapping behind him.

Golden flames rained down, and one by one, the constructs turned to ashes in the blazing fire.

Garland's eyes widened as he saw a striking beam of bright green energy sweeping across the surroundings, evaporating the entire block of concrete.

The concrete blocks above lost their support and crashed down in large chunks.

Lord Ninglu saved my life.
After landing, Garan's eyes lit up, and he followed the figure in the air, raising his explosive pistol.

The explosive bullet pierced the gaping maw filled with sharp teeth, penetrating deep into the body.

Like a balloon bursting, disgusting slime splattered everywhere with a crackling sound.

Zaharel and Balsa Kuturi were informed in advance and sensed Shloth's evil will, so they quickly released their psionic energy without reservation.

Balthazar raised his force field staff, and lightning struck a construct, causing pale, fungal-like flesh to explode and purple blood vessels to burst.

The electric arc jumped to the second construct, then the third...

A series of structures collapsed amidst a deafening explosion.

Zaharie awakens memories of fear and dons a "mask of fear."

Everything around him slowed down instantly, and his body flickered between reality and illusion.

The Reaper construct, with its pincer-like metal tendrils shooting out from both sides, slashed towards the black figure.

Whoosh...

All the constructs' attacks missed.

They were unable to attack the think tank that had leaped into the subspace.

Each time Zaharel leaps into reality, she leaves a wound on the construct.

One by one, the constructs collapsed rapidly.

Four seconds later, the "fear vision" ended, and Zaharie returned to the real world.

He looked into the distance, where the evil wills of the Shros merged into one, like a man-eating abyss.
