Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 151 The God Emperor's Pressure Relief Valve
Tzeentch was sitting upright in his ever-changing labyrinth, controlling his clones to confront the God Emperor.

Carlos's prophecy still haunted His mind like a nightmare.

Of the four gods, only He knew that Gao Yi's existence might be more important than they thought.

Therefore, He attempted to make a deal with the current Lord of Humanity in the same way that the God-Emperor had made with them in order to create the Primarch.

They were willing to use much important knowledge, the Chaos Cult lurking in key positions within the human empire, and even the important offensive plans of those humans who worshipped the Chaos Gods as bargaining chips for the empire's next step.

Tzeentch also revealed some of the prophecies he had received to the other three gods. Otherwise, apart from Khorne, Nurgle and Slaanesh would not want to confront the Lord of Man. Who would want to provoke this cursed one?

However, the endless years of scheming against each other have left them with little trust in one another, even now.

However, the overwhelming rage of Khorne a few years ago, as well as the anomalies that appeared in Khorne's domain, made them believe that Tzeentch's words were not unfounded.

The enraged Khorne even waged a war in the warp in search of the existence of Doom.

As the strongest individual fighter among the four gods, even those present who disagree have to admit that Khorne is incredibly powerful.

It is necessary for them to put pressure on the Lord of Mankind together, which is worthwhile for them to unite briefly and figure out what the other really is.

The fact that the opponent possesses the power to completely annihilate demons means they have already touched upon the very foundation of the warp.

In their eyes, this new weapon created by the God-Emperor was a far greater threat than the Primarchs of the past.

The existence of the Zerg may also be a biological weapon created by the God-Emperor using the technology of the Golden Age hidden in Terra.

They were well aware of the God Emperor's condition. He was sitting on the golden throne and still had time to suppress his power. If he were to fully unleash his power and truly become a god, it would be something the God Emperor would never want to see. The gods knew very well that the God Emperor placed the survival of humanity above his own life.

The four gods continuously channeled more power into their clones.

But there was no response from the cursed person.

Just as the four gods were about to launch another attack to pressure the God Emperor, the sun, which had been calm, suddenly began to surge.

The power belonging to the God-Emperor is now suppressing the power of the Four Gods.

"Has this cursed one gone mad?! Isn't he afraid of becoming a god?!"

The same reaction occurred in the minds of all four gods.

At this moment, Gao Yi's body in reality also began to tremble continuously.

A massive amount of power is being poured into his subspace projection.

Gao Yi suddenly felt like he was about to burst.

"There are too many! I, the God Emperor, can't hold out much longer!!!! Hurry up!!!"

Gao Yi's Xel'Naga projection was absorbing the power with all its might, but how could it possibly withstand the combined power of countless humans?

Gao Yi realized that he had overestimated himself; there was still an insurmountable gap between him and the accumulated power of the God Emperor, who had existed for tens of thousands of years.

If he continued to absorb the energy, Gao Yi didn't know if the subspace projection could hold up; his physical body, however, was likely to give out first.

Everyone on the bridge noticed Gao Yi's unusual behavior.

But they were powerless to do anything about it.

Gao Yi's surroundings became a no-go zone, with so many psionic abilities preventing ordinary people from even getting close. A large number of medics rushed in to try to repair Gao Yi's body, which did have some effect.

Just as Gao Yi felt his body was about to collapse, a hand grabbed his hand.

Kerrigan?!

At this moment, Kerrigan's clothes were completely torn, and her still young body was now completely covered by the Zerg's carapace, with a pair of arthropod wings unfolding from her back.

At this point, Kerrigan had completely transformed into a younger version of the Queen of Blades.

Meanwhile, a large amount of psionic energy from Gao Yi's body flowed into Kerrigan's body through her hand.

Feeling the overflowing energy being absorbed by Kerrigan, a power that even Gao Yi couldn't withstand at his current state, how could Kerrigan possibly bear it? Perhaps only Kerrigan who had become a Xel'Naga in StarCraft could easily withstand this power.

"Kerrigan, let go! Your body will break down too!" But Kerrigan did not comply.

"I can do it, Father! I... I can use the Zerg Swarm to share this burden!!"

Kerrigan said through gritted teeth.

"A swarm network?!"

Gao Yi suddenly sensed that Kerrigan had begun to distribute the psionic energy she had absorbed to all the Zerg individuals.

Kerrigan's ability to create Zerg eggs is transformed into a psionic manifestation in the Warhammer universe, since Kerrigan cannot create a Zerg egg out of thin air in the StarCraft storyline.

But Kerrigan is different here; it can be said that as long as Kerrigan doesn't die, the Zerg will never be extinct.

Each Zerg produced in the Warhammer world can be considered an extension of Kerrigan's psionic power.

Because of this characteristic, a massive amount of psionic energy is being distributed to each individual Zerg through the Zerg swarm network.

At this moment, all the alien insects on Char Star were faintly tinged with a golden halo, making the entire Char Star shine brightly in the void.

Hundreds of millions of Zerg are sharing the burden with Gao Yi and Kerrigan. The power of the God-Emperor is also painful for the Zerg. Most of those who receive the God-Emperor's power end up dying. Many of those favored by the God-Emperor often die completely after performing a miracle because they cannot withstand the power.

An ordinary body simply cannot withstand this power, but fortunately, the Zerg's physical attributes are much stronger than those of ordinary people.

The same was true for the Zerg fighting in Malfi's lower nest; for a moment, the power of the God Emperor surged into every part of the lower nest.

The power of the God-Emperor began to spread throughout the entire Malfurion Lower Nest and Lower Nest, purifying the warp corruption there.

Meanwhile, the Dark Priests who were blocking the Zerg's onslaught discovered that the Zerg's attacks were imbued with psionic energy.

The power of the God-Emperor greatly amplified the damage to Chaos, and the Zerg, whose Primarch was still being suppressed and delayed, broke through the defenses of these black-clad geysers while radiating golden light.

"An alien blessed by the God-Emperor?! How is that possible?!"

Both Gladius and Franky were incredulous at what they saw.

"Why would you rather bless these aliens than me?! Why is that?!" Glades smashed the Thinker in front of her with a punch, while the Zerg with Chaos-resistant attacks charged toward her.

However, the continuous influx of power also caused weaker alien insects, such as worker bee springtails, to explode and die.

Kerrigan immediately ordered all stored insect eggs to hatch to buy more time!
The God Emperor also looked at Gao Yi's projection. The other party could bear more power than he had expected, which allowed him to mobilize power without any more worries.

"God Emperor! Hurry! I've really reached my limit! I can't absorb any more! I really can't absorb any more!!"

The flames, seemingly intent on purifying everything, surged toward the four divine avatars, and the God Emperor's reaction exceeded their expectations.

Tzeentch had considered many possibilities, but he never expected that the God Emperor would solve this problem by flipping the table.

The overwhelming holy flames engulfed the four gods' avatars and destroyed their power; Tzeentch was the first to flee.

Then Nurgle and Slaanesh began to retreat.

The stubborn Khorne even wanted to go up and exchange a few blows, but when the two forces collided, Khorne also made the difficult decision to give up a portion of his divine power.

All four gods suffered different losses, failing to achieve their goals and wasting a great deal of divine power.

The power displayed by the being that required the simultaneous targeting of the four gods, now temporarily freed from its restrictions, was something that their clones could not withstand.

The four gods' clones began to leave this subspace, and the loss of these clones was also a heavy blow to the four gods.

After all, the God Emperor is an enemy, as are the other three. The intensity of the eternal war between the four gods is even higher than that of the real universe.

As the God Emperor began to withdraw his power, Gao Yi collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted. He lost consciousness for a moment, his physical body reaching its limit.

Meanwhile, at the center of humanity, atop the sacred Terra of the solar system.

The palace where the golden throne was placed also began to tremble.
