Gustav took a deep breath of the hot and dry air, and felt the burning pain in his severely damaged lungs. He slowly closed his eyes and awakened the nano implants in his brain with a smile. He said to the Burning Heaven Divine Soldier who was hovering outside the tomb and quietly watching the situation develop further:

"Help!"

Chapter 398 The Chosen God of Khorne

The steel army of the Necrons rumbled in on the surface of the tomb. The large black stone plane under their feet had already emitted a pale light. This was a sign that the Necrons' instruction set written in the black stone was infected by the virus code. The source of this strange infection is in the huge black stone spire in front of him.

The flames of the Burner are spurting out from it, and the escaping temperature alone turns the surrounding ground into an extremely hot purgatory. The Star God's extreme heat, which originates from the laws of physics, even exceeds the ultimate melting point of living metal. Approaching the tattered black stone spire, the metal joints of the advancing undead army began to melt and deform, making every inch of movement difficult.

That is the fury of the [Burner], and even the Necrons who have given up their flesh and blood and embraced mechanical ascension cannot bear it.

However, even in such an extreme environment that theoretically cannot support the survival of any living thing, a bright bioelectric signal continues to be active. It is an overclocked human brain.

The complex psychic circuits in Gustav's cerebral cortex were undergoing some mysterious resonance with the surrounding black stone obelisk arrays controlled by him. He continuously drew psychic energy from the storm-ravaged sea of ​​souls, and constantly used the only defensive psychic spell he knew to resist the continuous bombardment of the Burning One.

Flames, lightning, thermal particle flows... The Burner used every kind of energy flow to try to destroy the annoying little creature in front of him. However, the 'new human' that brought together the advantages of many races in the organic canon was far more tenacious than he had imagined.

Gustav's lungs and respiratory tract were severely burned, the optical lenses in his eyeballs had long been burned and cracked, his nearly collapsed skeleton was scorched through the flesh and made a crackling sound, the skin all over his body had completely melted, exposing the pink muscle fibers beneath the skin that were slightly throbbing in the air, baked to a crisp on the outside and tender on the inside by the high heat of the burner's death.

However, even with such serious injuries that were enough to put the lives of the Imperial Guards in danger, Gustav was still conscious. His brain actively blocked the extreme pain coming from various parts of his body and allocated the limited energy supply to his brain first.

Every new human is a powerful psyker. The average level under normal conditions can reach the 'Beta' level designated by the Empire for psykers. And if the brain is overclocked recklessly, it can be obtained in a short time. 'Alpha' or even 'Alpha+' level of limit-breaking power, that's what Gustav is doing.

The neurons in his brain were suddenly dying in batches due to overclocking every second. Losing too many brain cells in a short period of time even made his thinking speed a little slow, but he could not stop this self-mutilation. Uncover potential.

The furious Star God is going berserk. Once he shows even a hint of weakness and humility in front of the Burner, his only ending will be to be wiped out in ashes.

"The only thing I can hope for now is to delay time and wait for the Burning God Soldier crew to come to support and rescue me." Gustav threw out a lightning chain as ferocious as a python, and whispered in his voiceless throat: "The Burning God Soldier's shield is enough to withstand the most violent supernova explosion at the closest distance. Even the Burner should be unable to do anything to the Burning God Soldier with its thick skin and flesh. That is my only hope of being rescued..."

Although they were still unclear about the current situation, the confused crew members of the Burning Heaven Soldier immediately responded to Gustav's distress signal. They pulled out the god-killing gun from the hand of the black hole that was forming and flew towards the undead. The direction of the tomb complex.

At the same time, the undead army that continued to march in a hurry finally arrived at its destination. The gleaming steel army surrounded the crumbling black stone spire. The huge doomsday stele was suspended on the black stone plane, facing the broken spire at a distance. .

The power of the Burner continued to overflow, forming a forbidden area of ​​life that no living creature could set foot on. Even the well-equipped Necrons could only gather far away from the scope of the extreme heat, and did not dare to take a step beyond the limit.

Perhaps it is necessary to thank Gustav for inverting the psychic magnetic poles of the surrounding black stone obelisks. While increasing his own psychic power, he also suppressed the power of the Star God's laws. Therefore, the range of influence of the Burner's power is not very large. The Necron encirclement was also able to be tightened as much as possible.

The crowned Undead general holding a phase spear led his army to the edge of Purgatory, staring at the dilapidated spire that was spewing flames, and a feeling of humiliation arose spontaneously.

Because they detected an extremely familiar smell in the energy fluctuations coming from inside the Blackstone Spire.

The sigh of Enid blew through every corner of the tomb like a breeze. The cold sigh cooled the heat of the burner. It was the magic of the Eldar. The so-called Enid was an ancient god in the mythology of the Eldar.

Naturally, the Necrons identified the organic life in the spire that was fighting the Star God as an Eldar.

The despicable Eldar, the inferior Eldar, forced the Necrons to sleep helplessly for 6 million years after winning the Battle of Heaven...

"Isn't this reasonable... Isn't this reasonable, inferior creatures, humble bean sprouts? Could it be that we have been sleeping for too long, and even a mere spirit race dares to defile the tomb where we sleep like this?!"

Emotions of anger and humiliation simultaneously emerged from the data center of Crowned General Elafax, making it almost unable to restrain itself from wanting to lead its troops into the purgatory to kill the intruders.

But the Burner, bathed in gamma-ray bursts, is too powerful. Every step forward towards the center of Purgatory costs it blood... and coolant.

The crowned general of the Nirberam dynasty is a calm and wise general. He did not let his anger get to his head. Instead, he suppressed all the humiliation in his heart and made the most rational choice for the current situation.

——In short, standing still.

"The Burner's rampage will not last too long. External forces that exceed the limit will soon be exhausted. As long as we wait until then and Purgatory converges, it will be the best time to imprison Niadrazata again." Crowned General Alafax comforted himself with rational words and stayed motionless on the edge of Purgatory with his mechanical army.

The sit-in wars began.

The fact was indeed as Erapax had predicted. As time passed, the aura of the Burner in the Blackstone Spire gradually became weak. Having had a feast in the stellar explosion, He soon consumed all the energy he had previously absorbed. The bombardment of fire and lightning was no longer fierce. He was already exhausted, revealing the incompleteness and weakness unique to the fragments of a star god.

Gustav's condition was even more miserable. After a long period of tug of war, his body was almost roasted into a mummy. His brittle knees broke in the high temperature, causing him to fall to the ground uncontrollably. Only the unyielding will in his empty eye sockets remained dark.

He didn't know why the support from the Burning Sky Divine Soldiers came so slowly, and it didn't arrive until all the Burners were exhausted. The only thing he could be thankful for was that he survived, having barely managed to survive the wrath of the gods.

However, before Gustav could use his remaining brain cells to think about where to go next, suddenly, a bloody rune slowly emerged from his withered body.

Gustav, who had systematically studied the belief system of the Four Gods of Chaos, immediately recognized the origin of this rune.

——This is the symbol of the blood god Khorne.

Surging blood began to fill Gustav's dry body. After defeating the Star God with his unyielding will, he became the Chosen God of Khorne.

Chapter 399 Offering the Skull to the Imperial Regent

Two dogs fight, play off.

Crowned General Elafax plans to take action after the battle in the Blackstone Spire subsides. By then, the arrogant Eldar mage should have been killed by the Star God fragments, and the Burner's power has been greatly consumed. By then, he will When the fisherman marched in with his troops and imprisoned the Burner again.

However, the situation did not develop as General Dai Guan predicted, and the real fisherman took action.

The power of the Burner has weakened, but the purgatory surrounding the Blackrock Spire has not cooled down. Instead, it has become even hotter and hotter in the air filled with a strong smell of blood.

Rivers of brass flowed among the cracked black stone, and the fire from hell crackled and roared.

"...say, blood sacrifice to the Blood God."

The large black stone structures infected with the virus code around were flashing pure white runes, which not only enhanced Gustav's psychic power but also amplified and spread the influence of the Blood God. The ground under the feet of the undead army arrayed around Purgatory was shaking slightly, and piercing wails and various meaningless screams continued to sound from their mechanical skulls. The power of Khorne passed through the curtain and came to the tomb.

A blood-red fire of rage burned on Gustav's withered and shriveled body. It was the power from the Blood God Khorne. He opened his eyes that had been blinded by the Burner, and in his empty eye sockets he saw a blood-red giant in armor sitting on a brass throne.

Khorne's entire body was wrapped in thick, hideous brass armor, except for his head, which was not covered with metal - it was an angry, growling dog's head, or a war dog.

The mighty god with overwhelming arrogance stretched out his hand to the gossamer-like Gustav, and spit out 8 different tones: "Say, sacrifice blood to the blood god."

"If the Burner hadn't destroyed most of my body tissues and burned out the threshold limiter that controls my virus code, I would be able to reverse all the surrounding black stone magnetic poles again and activate the exorcism dead zone to stretch out your The dog paws of reality rush back into the subspace..." Gustav thought silently in his heart.

However, his offense and contempt for the god did not make Khorne angry, but made the Blood God appreciate the mortal who dared to challenge the Star God even more.

Gustav felt the fire flowing in his body gradually extinguish, and the body that had been temporarily restored to light due to Khorne's divine power began to slump again. At the same time, the Burner who had taken a breath had become bright again.

The Star God of the material universe has a natural hatred for the monsters in the Warp. Naturally, Gustav, who was possessed and bewitched by Khorne, became the target that He must kill at all costs.

The Burner came over, dragging a long whip of thermal particles.

"Say, sacrifice blood to the Blood God." Khorne repeated again. As his voice fell, the surging Blood God's power poured into Gustav's dry body.

The sheer power granted by Khorne frightened Gustav. If a mortal or even an ordinary Astartes received so much chaos energy at once, the best outcome would be to die on the spot. , those who are unlucky will directly mutate into chaos eggs.

However, perhaps because the new human body structure is so adaptable to psychic power, even though he was so weak, Gustav's broken body did not turn into swollen sarcomas and root-like lumps under the wash of the blood god's power. . Distinct muscle lines emerged from his body, and blood-red flames ignited in his blind eyes. Gustav's figure became taller and stronger, like a gladiator crawling out of hell, and a heavy sickle appeared. In his hands.

Blood was shed in my name."

Khorne sent down the oracle.

Gustav weighed the sickle hammer in his hand, familiarizing himself with the center of gravity and feel of the weapon, and said, "Even a fragment of the Star God Burner is so powerful. So do you know how the Ancient Eldar fought against the Necrons with the help of the complete Star God during the War in Heaven?"

"Just like I am now -!" Gustav swung his sickle hammer, hitting the Burner holding the thermal particle whip and sending him flying backwards.

Gustav bent his knees and jumped in front of the Burner, and hit the energy body with another hammer. He said excitedly: "Under the guidance of the Ancient Saint, the Ancient Spirit Tribe learned how to use their innate energy. With their spiritual talents, the Sea of ​​Souls was still relatively calm at that time, and they would actively put their spiritual tentacles into the clear waters of the Sea of ​​Souls, stirring them up to create small whirlpools..."

"Or to put it another way, the Ancient Spirits are creating 'subspace entities'."

"After our research, we finally found that the properties of these subspace entities are very similar to the so-called demons, or simply demons, artificial demons created by the Eldar themselves." Gustave swung the hammer again, knocking the Burner out. The pure energy divine body was smashed into a dull state:

"The Ancient Spirit Clan created a large number of man-made demons to fight against the Star Gods during the War in Heaven. Therefore, there is a theory in the Order of Truth that the so-called Spirit Clan gods survived the fierce war in Heaven. It’s an extremely powerful subspace entity that came down. And I am a supporter of this theory!”

He gasped, "If the Eldar can create Warp entities, why can't we humans? No, we already do it... as evidenced by the piece of sorcerous bacon hanging from the Golden Throne."

Gustav swung his hammer again, taking advantage of the second before his power was taken away by Khorne, and swung it again: "If God can be created by humans, then why should I kneel to something that can be created by humans?"

The scythe hammer in his hand fell heavily, and Khorne knew that Gustav's previous surrender was just an illusion. He just wanted the power of the Blood God to kill the Burner.

He has never listened to Khorne's bewitchment, and he has no respect for the power of the Blood God. He regards Khorne's blessing as a powerful tool, no matter how he uses it to trick or rob him. They are all used, as long as they are practical.

Gustav swung the sickle again and smashed the Burner's head into pieces. Although it is hard to say whether a pure energy body has a head, it undoubtedly represented great contempt.

Khorne was furious.

The army of undead outside Purgatory is already ready to move, and Gustav's body is rapidly weakening as the blessing of Khorne is taken back. One fisherman has been driven away, and now it is time for another fisherman to benefit.

But just as the crowned general was commanding his army to launch a general attack on Blackrock Spire, suddenly, a group of Space Marine drop pods painted blue with the Ω logo dropped from the sky, dragging long tails of fire.

The Indomitus Expedition fleet threw its remaining forces towards Die Xing's tomb.

"A skull for the great Roboute Guilliman!"

"It seems that Khorne was not driven away by anger, but squeezed away..." Gustav thought to himself.

Chapter 400 Traveler

What does the airborne pod falling from the sky mean?

Does it mean that a group of Ultramarines wearing ceramite power armor and holding grenade launchers are about to enter the battlefield? No, it's more than that...

When those warriors wearing skull ornaments and blood runes fell into the Tomb of the Undead, it meant that the territory of the Human Empire expanded here, and the power of the Lord of War extended here.

Accompanied by the battle cry of the Blood Sacrifice Emperor, the huge body of the Burning Heaven Divine Soldier regained its freedom from the influence of the evil god of the subspace. The weapon array under the shield was rearranged and pointed at the tomb below. Beams of light spears fell straight down, accurately killing the large facilities parked around the Blackstone Spire.

With just this momentary turn, the sky was filled with fire and rain covering the sky above the tomb.

Less than two companies of Ultramarines who survived the massacre of the Dark Eldar started slaughtering the Undead phalanxes holding the Blood Axes of Ultramar engraved with the death count. They were wrapped in bloody flames symbolizing the blessing of the Lord of War and shouted sacred slogans of blood sacrifice. The Gauss ray rifles of the Undead infantry automatically deflected when hitting the bloodstained blessed armor of the Ultramarines, and the damage caused was extremely limited.

The axe blade covered with psychic decomposition field in the hands of the Astartes continuously smashed and chopped off the mechanical skeletons made of living metal. The Extreme Marines rushed forward and rushed towards the center of Purgatory where the Burners were.

"Damn it, it is almost impossible for conventional Gaussian weapons to penetrate the rich subspace energy on their bodies. If you want to cause harm to them, you must use more powerful weapons. But..." General Dai Guan raised his head with a fierce look, Another beam of light spear fell from the Burning Heaven Divine Soldier hanging high on the dome, killing a giant underworld structure that had just been repaired with precision, and fragments of living metal limbs splattered all over the ground.

The Extreme Warriors wielded bloody axes and slaughtered the undead army at will. They did have divine help, but that god was the Burning Heaven Divine Soldier.

Conventional units cannot stop the mighty men, and large units will be targeted by the Burning Sky Divine Soldiers. Unless the undead can find a way to shoot down the Burning Sky Divine Soldier hanging over the tomb, this embarrassing situation will continue.

So can it?

Thousands of heavily armed defense platforms responded to General Dai Guan's doubts. Countless coil guns and annihilation cannons were pointed toward the sky, pouring out firepower that could easily tear apart a starship. The fully deployed Burning Heaven Divine Soldier was bathed in the rain of fire, standing still, its shield rippling in circles. The weapon array continued to operate, efficiently and accurately sniping high-priority targets calculated by the AI.

The Burning Heaven Divine Weapon is above all living beings. It brings visible destruction and tangible death.

With such a big iron block on your head, you can't move it no matter how hard you hit it, and you can't drive it away. No one can help but feel aggrieved, and the emotionless undead are no exception.

Suddenly, the Crowned General was filled with rage, because just now, a commando team of the Extreme Marines had broken through the encirclement of the Undead army with the cover of the Burning Heaven Soldiers, and stepping on the living metal scorched by the light spears, they rushed into the Black Stone Spire in the center of Purgatory.

"We must not let these humans take away the fragments of Star God!" At this point, the Crowned General Ellafax no longer cared about any tactical deployment and plans. He personally led an elite Holy Equipment Guard and rushed into the purgatory filled with terrifying heat.

Walking on the scorched black stone ground, the Ultramarines Assault Squad and the Necromancer Guards entered the interior of the Black Stone Spire, which was burned to pieces by the Burning Ones.

In the black stone spire where brass and lava flow, two powerful figures stand silently.

One is a pure energy divine body that emits terrifying heat from a distance. It is a fragment of the star god "Burner".

One was a bald man with a burly figure, knotted muscles, and a fiery red body emitting evil subspace energy. He was holding a huge sickle hammer made of human bones in his hand.
