Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates

"I agree. Dante is right. This orcish demon king is unlike any orc we've ever met before."

He is a mutation within the orc race, stronger and more powerful, possessing psionic abilities capable of striking across planets—an extremely rare and powerful psychic ability.

"We should get to know this future adversary better," said the tech priest of the Cult of Machines.

He shared the same view as Dante, the Chapter Master of the Blood Angels, that this orcish demon king was a potential future adversary.

After dealing with the Tyranids, that's their next task, so it's essential to understand this very special orc race.

"But Commander Dante, you cannot leave the Holy Blood Angels so easily. You are the commander-in-chief here now."

If the Blood Angels lose their Chapter Leader, then all the armies of the Hades Galaxy will lose their leadership.

"If you just want to learn about our opponent, then I can take on this role. Let me go! I will thoroughly investigate this orcish demon king." A company commander from the Holy Blood Angels Legion said.

The life of the warband leader is of utmost importance. This is not just about the Holy Blood Angels family, but about the entire bloodline of the Holy Blood Angels!

"No, I don't trust anyone else to go, and I'm only going to negotiate with that orcish demon king; I won't get involved in the rest," Chapter Master Dante said, shaking his head.

He had to go there in person for this. Sending just an ordinary company commander wouldn't be enough to find out the orc's specific information. In fact, if possible, Dante would love to fight the orc to test its strength.

Dante, the Chapter Commander of the Blood Angels, has lived for over 1600 years. In the entire galaxy, apart from the veterans loaded in the Dreadnoughts, his age is unparalleled, and his combat experience and life experience are naturally incredibly rich.

Of course, this excludes the Chaos Space Marines blessed by the Chaos Demon. These Chaos Enemies who sided with the Chaos Demon and were blessed by the demon all possessed extremely long lives, or even immortality.

Take Warmaster Abaddon, for example. He was originally just an ordinary Star Warrior company commander, but after being blessed by the Chaos Gods, he possessed power second only to the Primarch, and it is even said that his combat strength is not much worse than that of an ordinary Primarch.

Unlike some civilians in the empire, Dante, as the leader of the Blood Angels Chapter, knew some of the secrets of the empire, and those chaotic demons were not fictional.

In addition to the chaotic demons and evil gods, there are also gods of other races in the chaotic subspace.

The orc gods are named Gogo and Maogo, although the Empire has always believed that these are two gods that the orcs themselves have claimed to be.

But there was a Chosen One called the Bonebreaker before, so it's not impossible for another Chosen One to appear now.

Dante and the Technologist Fathers of the Mechanicus both had similar conjectures: this extremely powerful orcish demon king was very likely another chosen one.

"This time, we'll send two engineers, four Mechanicus members, and four Space Marines, making a total of ten people, to the Orcs' war planet," Dante said.

"Understood, Commander. I will immediately select four battle-hardened warriors. I guarantee they are the best among all of them." The company commander of the Holy Blood Angels Legion took a deep breath, nodded, and immediately turned and left.

As a veteran Space Marine who had followed Dante for hundreds of years, he knew that once his captain made a decision, it was irreversible.

Since that's the case, then we can only work on the bodyguards. We need to select four of the most senior Space Marines, so let's pick them from the company!

On the other side, the Technologists of the Cult of Mechanism also selected four of their most outstanding talents to enter the orc warship. Their primary task was to investigate the specific structure of the warship.

If it were just about communication, sending a communicator or two technicians would have been enough. Their main objective this time was to figure out the internal structure of the orc war planet, how many weapons it had, how many troops it had, and so on.

An hour later, Dante, the leader of the Holy Blood Angels Chapter, led a small squad of ten people in a small interstellar spaceship and flew towards the giant war planet where Rhodes was located.

Meanwhile, Rhodes instructed his orc underlings not to attack the human ships that were about to arrive, and to allow them to enter the war planet and bring them to him.

The orc chieftain responsible for relaying the order nodded and turned to leave, while a large group of orc war bosses in the hall looked at Rhodes with puzzled expressions.

"Boss, why did we let them in? These humans came in simply to investigate what our war planet is all about," an orc war boss said.

"That's right, boss! Even if we choose to cooperate with these shrimps, we only need them to send one psionicist over so we can communicate. There's no need for all this trouble, sending a ten-person team to take over."

"These bastards have no good intentions; they want to know about our Super Battle Moon."

Orcs are indeed a warrior race, but that doesn't mean they aren't intelligent; on the contrary, they are quite cunning.

Orcs are very skilled at using all sorts of tricks and schemes; they are not mindless brutes. In fact, the longer an orc lives, the more adept they become at tactics and the more likely they are to use tricks and schemes.

Humans once thought that orcs were a bunch of brutes and brainless fools, so they underestimated the orc race and suffered a great loss as a result!

Sometimes humans just don't learn their lesson; even after suffering a loss, they don't realize how clever the orcs are.

"I have my own plans, so you don't need to worry. Just get ready and give our guests a proper welcome," Rhodes said.

Are you kidding me? Ten people want to explore the entire war planet? I'll keep you up there for a year without any vehicles, and you won't even be able to get out of the top steel dome.

You really think this war planet is made of clay? The main reason this war planet was able to be built is because of my connections, not because of anything else. I'm pondering this power.

For some time now, Rhodes has been researching this orcish bug-level energy, I'm thinking about its power!

This power is somewhat similar to Scarlet Witch's Chaos Magic or the Reality Stone; it's a power that can distort reality and turn the fake into the real.

However, in terms of level, it is somewhat inferior to the Scarlet Witch's Chaos Magic. A single orc is no match for either of these two, but as long as there are enough orcs, this power can be infinitely amplified.

It must be said that the Ancient Saints race truly created a very powerful war race.

Soon, a squad of Space Marines led you to the enormous palace where Rhodes resided. Inside the palace, Rhodes sat alone on his throne, surrounded by more than thirty incredibly powerful war bosses.

Each of them is about six meters tall. These orcs have been enhanced by Rhodes, possessing extremely abnormal physical strength, as well as the regenerative ability of the Extremis virus and the power of fire.

Upon entering the hall, Dante, the leader of the Blood Angels, walked at the front, with four Space Marines on the outermost edge, surrounding four priests of the Mechanicus and two communications personnel in the center.

Upon arriving before Rhodes, Dante, the commander of the Holy Blood Angels Chapter, stepped forward and performed an Imperial salute.

"We've finally met in person, the mighty Orc Warlord Rhodes." Dante frowned as he looked at the green-skinned man sitting on the throne before him. He was a little different from what he had imagined!

The other person was indeed very tall, appearing to be taller than an average Space Marine, but not by much. This height was within the range of the Orc race.

He was only considered relatively strong; compared to the large group of war leaders who stood in the hall, each over six meters tall, he was practically a little radish.

With that height, he should only be able to become a minor leader in the orc race. How did this guy become the Great Demon King?

And how did he manage to subdue such a large group of powerful war bosses?

Just how much power is contained within his somewhat thin body?

Or rather, this person's physical strength wasn't very strong; the reason he was able to subdue these powerful orc war bosses was because of his powerful psionic energy.

Upon meeting, Dante, the leader of the Holy Blood Angels Chapter, immediately began analyzing Rhodes' power.

"Are you their leader?" Rhodes asked, looking at the somewhat aged Space Marine in front of him.

"That's right, Your Majesty, I am Dante, the Chapter Master of the Holy Blood Angels Chapter, and I am in charge of this negotiation."

"And these people behind me are some communications personnel who will soon be stationed in your fortress. There are four Space Marines as bodyguards, and several Mechanicus priests as assistants." Dante pointed to his entourage behind him and said.

"Hahaha! Your communications personnel will be perfectly safe in my war fortress."

"I don't even need bodyguards, and if anyone were to break through my defenses and get into my command center, your four Space Marines wouldn't be able to protect them," Rhodes said.

"Hahaha! If the enemy can get in here, then these four tin cans are useless."

"These tin cans are no match for us orcs."

"That's right! These tin cans aren't that strong."

Hearing this, the four Space Marines were clearly angered. They stepped forward together, glaring at Rhodes and his large group of war bosses.

They are Space Marines of the Blood Angels Chapter, the Emperor's Death Angels, Astartes, and the most elite force in the Imperial Army, second only to the Emperor's Guard in combat strength.

They are the backbone of the enemy forces of the Empire in dealing with these creatures, and countless aliens have died at their hands.

"The soldiers I selected are all veterans who have served for more than 200 years. It is no exaggeration to say that they are veterans who have fought countless battles."

"If you don't believe me, you can go down and test their power yourself, and let them feel the power of the Orc Demon King. What do you think?" Dante, the leader of the Holy Blood Angels Chapter, said.

One of his goals in coming here was to test the fighting power of this orcish demon king and see if he was as powerful as he claimed, capable of rivaling the Primarch.

"The shrimp has issued a challenge to us! WAAAGH! The orcs accept the challenge."

"WAAAGH!!" A large group of orc war leaders in the hall immediately brandished their weapons and began to shout loudly.

As a top-tier warlike race, they are obligated to fight if an enemy comes to challenge them. However, it's not Rhodes who will fight, but rather the orc war bosses under his command.

Rhodes waved his hand, signaling all the war bosses below to quiet down.

"You mean you want to challenge me, right?" Rod asked with a smile.

"That's right, the mighty orcish demon king Lord Rhodes! Please come down and teach my four incompetent subordinates a lesson!"

"I suspect they might not last two moves against you before you defeat them, but this will still be valuable combat experience for them," said Dante, the leader of the Holy Blood Angels Chapter.

Come on! You savage orc, how dare you compare yourself to the great Emperor, the ruler of mankind!

You probably haven't even seen the Primarchs, since they either disappeared or died out tens of thousands of years ago.

Those corrupted demonic prototypes have only appeared a handful of times in the real universe.

These Space Marines are poor copies of the Primarch. Let them test your power!

"These small fry don't need the boss's help. Let me teach these four bigger shrimps a lesson!" said one of the orc war bosses.

"That's right, your four tin cans are no match for our boss. We can take them down easily," another orc war boss said.

"Then what about adding me? Let's add this old fellow who's lived for over 1600 years to challenge the Great Demon King's power together," Dante said.

Dante was now barely suppressing his anger. Rhodes had repeatedly said that he was on par with the Emperor of Mankind, which was an insult to the entire human race.

Even if he had to join forces with the other party, he planned to teach this arrogant orc a lesson.

Don't think that you can become king and dominate just by relying on your spiritual power. The Emperor's spiritual power is the number one in the entire real universe, and it is even close to the four Chaos Gods.

"Hahaha! Since you want to play, I'll play with you properly!"

"Go and find four orc battle lads, elite ones who have mastered the power of dominance and rage," Rhodes said to an orc war boss beside him.

During his time traveling through space, Rhode has used his power to upgrade the entire orc race.

This upgrade method involves directly pouring the Extremis Virus into the orcs' fields, allowing newborn orc boys to receive the Virus's potion power.

These newly born orcs are stronger and taller than the original green-skinned orcs, and possess the power to manipulate fire and regenerate.

Furthermore, Rhodes used some special methods to teach a large number of elite orc boys Armament Haki.

There's also the warrior's way of Azeroth, the power of rage, and the orc race—they're absolutely the most qualified warriors in any universe.

The orc war boss nodded, immediately got up and left. Soon, four orc boys wearing only tattered armor and wielding large axes were brought over.

"WAAAGH! WAAAGH! Great Demon King, Great Demon King!" The four orc boys immediately raised their axes and shouted as soon as they saw Rhodes.

These orc boys underwent rigorous training from birth, learning two powerful skills: one was the power to turn their bodies black, and the other was the power to ignite their fury and unleash crimson battle aura.

This rage power, which can greatly enhance one's combat strength, quickly became popular among the orcs.

Whether they are ordinary orc lads or orc war leaders and big bosses, they will all learn this powerful new power.

"Listen up, you lot, our guest wants to have a competition with you."

"In a little while, the four of you will have a spar with these four big metal cans. I hope you won't embarrass yourselves," Rhodes said, pointing to the Space Marines standing to the side.

These Space Marines were about 2.3 to 2.4 meters tall, with a large and incredibly strong build.

He was even a head taller than these orc boys, and wore the powerful Mark 7 Skyhawk power armor.

Armed with explosive guns and chainsaws, they threw themselves into the battlefield, each capable of killing hundreds of orc lads without sustaining a scratch.

Sending only four orc lads to fight them was a huge insult, which greatly angered the four Blood Angels Chapter Space Marines.

"Forgive my bluntness, Great Demon Lord. I'm afraid you haven't witnessed the power of the Space Marines. Each of my Space Marines could easily defeat thousands of your Orcish brats," Dante, the Chapter Master of the Blood Angels, said, somewhat speechlessly.

Sending these four orc grunts to deal with the Space Marines? Are you kidding me?

The Orc Boys should be targeting the Astral Army, right?

"Hahaha! If your four men win, then you can freely tour my war fortress."

"You can come and go freely, anywhere, and you can even draw up a detailed map." Rhodes offered a condition that Dante couldn't refuse.

"In that case, your four orc boys aren't very lucky."

The four of you will play with the four orc boys for a while. No ranged weapons allowed, only chainsaws.

"Just cut off their hands and feet, don't kill them." Dante said, looking at the four Space Marines under his command.

Even without their power armor, the Space Marines could tear four ordinary Orc lads to shreds with their bare hands; it was a completely unequal battle. (End of Chapter)
