Warhammer 40: Doom

Chapter 1 Sea of ​​Souls
subspace.

Also known as: Sea of ​​Souls, Supreme Heaven.

It is a mirror of the real universe, the place where the souls of all living beings in the universe return after death, a paradise for souls to rest in peace.

It reflects the intelligent beings in the real universe who possess "emotions," an abstract emotion in which all emotions are transparent, pure, and intense in the subspace.

Intense emotions collided, squeezed, and twisted into vortexes in the vast subspace, while storms raged with fragments of thought. Ultimately, everything transformed into the source of power for the sea of ​​souls.

The emotions of beings in the real universe ripple in the subspace, eventually converging into endless waves.

In the Sea of ​​Souls, a world of energy formed by the convergence of various extreme emotions, time and space lose their meaning.

The sea of ​​souls was once undisturbed, allowing the souls of intelligent beings to rest in peace and enjoy eternal tranquility.

A momentous event originating from the real universe changed it forever.

A horrific war between two dominant races spanned the entire galaxy, shattering the stars and devastating life.

The resentment and pain in the souls of the billions of beings who died in the war polluted the sea of ​​souls.

Any soul that enters the warp will be corrupted by those filthy emotions, detached from its original essence, and utterly degraded.

Countless souls and intense emotions churn and churn in the unpredictable and treacherous waves of the subspace, separating and coalescing, ultimately converging into pure and extreme thought, returning to the same existence.

God has been born!

Standing amidst the endless waves of subspace, an eternal, immortal, and truly existing deity!

In contrast to the holiness and purity possessed by the gods of conventional faiths, the true gods of the Warp are born from the various extreme emotions of the Warp.

Depraved thoughts, insane emotions, twisted souls, and utterly blasphemous extremes.

The "gods" born from extremist ideologies are the real evil gods!
It is more blasphemous than blasphemy, more depraved than depravity, and its evil power surpasses the imagination of intelligent beings in reality.

What they seek are intense, passionate, pure, and extreme emotions in the real universe.

When extreme emotions arise in the real universe, the warp responds, and a surge of power tears a rift in the warp.

The evil god's claws poured out, breaking through the barrier of reality and descending into the real universe from the cracks, seeking out those souls that had fallen to extremes.

Extreme emotions of beings in the real universe are the best food for evil gods. All chaos and suffering, beauty and happiness in the mortal world will become supplements for evil gods.

The subspace encompasses all emotions and evil thoughts, and the evil god, formed by the convergence of several mainstream emotions, becomes the supreme ruler of the sea of ​​souls.

Khorne, according to legend, represents the god of war and slaughter.

In the real universe, every war, even a conflict between two people, and every drop of blood shed in war, ultimately flows to the Brass Throne.

He sat upon a bronze throne, clad in brass armor, reveling in the splendor of war and slaughter, and bestowing blessings upon valiant warriors.

Within its divine realm flowed rivers of magma formed from boiling blood, where sulfurous smoke never ceased, and under the dim sun, demons waged endless battles in hopes of pleasing their master.

Before the throne, countless "demons" formed from fragments of the consciousness of evil gods frolicked and played in the divine realm, keeping a close eye on the unstable waves in the warp for their master, ready to invade the real universe at any moment.

Khorne himself sat atop the skull throne, sensing every war in the real universe, laughing heartily at the battles between demons, and occasionally looking warily into the distance.

In the endless chaos of the subspace, there is more than one god.

In the realm of chaos, there are powerful evil gods who possess their own divine domains; they are collectively known as the Four Gods of Chaos!

They were also hostile to each other because of their different powers. The gods rarely lingered in their own realms, but were always wary of the other chaotic evil gods.

The four gods are always wary of each other, maintaining a delicate balance amidst a chain of suspicion. But there is one evil god among them who is always viewed with suspicion by the other three.

Jianqi, also known as: the Lord of Ten Thousand Changes, Xinliezhi.

He is the embodiment of all intrigue and wisdom, orchestrating an endless "Great Game" amidst the turbulent waves of the warp.

Tzeentch was once the strongest evil god in the High Heavens. Due to his overwhelming power, he was attacked by three other evil gods and forced to relinquish a part of his essence. After his strength was greatly reduced, he ranked second among the gods, after Khorne.

The longsword in Khorne's hand was snatched from Tzeentch, and Khorne had sworn never to part with it. He also kept a constant watch on any activity within Tzeentch's domain, preventing Sinrej from suddenly attacking and seizing the weapon that rightfully belonged to Him.

Unlike the deafening battles in the Khorne Realm, the Tzeentch Realm was as quiet as a library in the mortal world.

The Crystal Labyrinth, located within Tzeentch's Realm, is a labyrinth of countless corridors and rooms, and books containing the truths of the universe.

It has no external defenses and welcomes scholars to visit.

Demons flapped their wings, like scholars carrying books filled with secrets, traversing the crystal labyrinth, wandering through countless corridors of knowledge and secrets, whispers echoing, weaving one conspiracy after another. Demons resembled their masters; the more powerful the being, the closer its visible form resembled that of an evil god.

The Tzeentch Demon resembles a large bird with two claws, long forelimbs, and a mysterious dark blue body. It has wings on its back, and the light of wisdom flows out from the gaps between each of its colorful feathers.

The Crystal Maze, a palace as unpredictable as its master, can be rearranged trillions of times in an instant, giving rise to countless variations. Even a wicked demon like Tzeentch can easily get lost in its endless corridors if he is not careful.

Deep within the labyrinth, the Lord of All Changes sits cross-legged in the void.

Throughout countless ages, no intelligent being has been able to traverse the Crystal Labyrinth to reach Tzeentch himself and receive His boundless knowledge as a reward. Even the evil god himself has been momentarily distracted by the constant changes within the Crystal Labyrinth.

today……

Perhaps this description based on linear time is not accurate. There is no concept of time in subspace, only "this moment".

The ever-changing ruler is very troubled.

Countless eyes, symbolizing "omniscience," appeared on His face, then twisted and transformed into a captivating vortex in the next instant. His slender bird body was constantly changing, his skin transforming from smooth to wrinkled, and several sharp teeth and mouths on his body appearing and disappearing, cawing wildly as they spoke of mad knowledge and truth.

Her arms hung down, long and thin, her fingers withered like bamboo joints, casually resting on her thighs.

On a withered palm, one or two? Or countless fingers are stirring, weaving the most intricate conspiracy into shape, flowing into the real universe.

Change is constant, and His suffering is not something to be "seen" or defined, but a real existence.

Tzeentch was once the most powerful evil god, stronger than any of his brothers.

Because of his overwhelming power over the gods, he aroused the fear of the other gods, who joined forces to attack him and force him to relinquish some of his power.

Faced with the relentless pressure from the gods, Tzeentch was forced to relinquish some of his authority in order to plan his next act of revenge.

Tzeentch destroyed a part of himself, gripping the weapon he had never let go of—the Crystal Scepter, the source of all magic—in exchange for the departure of the gods.

The shattering of the crystal scepter essentially shattered into countless magical spells scattered across the warp, and countless magical knowledge scattered throughout the universe.

The immense power contained within the scepter, the essence of the evil god, resides deep within the crystal labyrinth, becoming a source of strength.

Countless mysteries emerged from it, and the moment the wellspring touched the ground, its true name echoed in the warp: "The Well of Eternity."

When the Well of Eternity appeared in the realm, the Lord of Changes noticed it early on.

Although it is formed from his own power, the secrets of the Well of Eternity are so profound that even Tzeentch himself could not see through them and knew them all.

When that power was relinquished, an incredible change occurred as the essence of the crystal scepter shattered.

For countless years, Twisted Fate sat before the Well of Eternity, yet he could not fathom the mysteries of its changes, much to the utter distress of the self-proclaimed "Lord of All Changes."

Looking down into the well, there was no physical presence; all that met the eye was an endless starry sky. The Well of Eternity seemed more like a portal, connecting to another universe.

If that's the case, it would be a great thing for Trevor.

He can enter another reality, take control of the universe, and then take revenge on the other three evil gods.

Throughout the endless past, the Lord of Change has tried countless times to restore his power and reclaim the position that rightfully belongs to Him.

In the past, the Lord of Change sent the powerful Tyrant to the Well of Eternity, attempting to peek into its secrets and changes, but he always found nothing.

Only one Tzeentch Archdeacon successfully returned, undergoing a strange transformation in its body.

It split open at the neck and grew a second head.

The demon's immortal body became hunched and aged, its words and actions became erratic, and its memory became completely confused, unable to recall what had happened in the well.

It was formerly known as "Carlos" and now calls itself "The Weaver of Fate Carlos," with its two heads gaining the ability to see into the past and future respectively.

Although the changes that occurred to the Weaver of Fate were miraculous, they could not satisfy the Lord of All Changes, and he dared not risk entering the Well of Eternity himself.

For countless ages, He has gazed at the Well of Eternity, lost in thought, wondering what secrets it contains.
Within the Well of Eternity, in the void beyond the reach of the evil god's gaze, a glimmer of light drifts in the silent darkness.

If the evil god knew, he would immediately see the true nature of the glimmer: the soul of an intelligent being called "human".

"System, are you sure there are elves, dwarves, orcs, and magic in the place you've traveled to?" A wave of energy emanated from his soul, echoing in the void where there was no space or distance.

"Rest assured, host, the target world has been locked and we are about to arrive." Another wave of energy came, but it was cold and mechanical.
