Warhammer 40 A New Hope

At first, Nero had to use violence to beat both sides down before they stopped, but now, with just one sentence, Dante and Virgil stopped almost at the same time and looked in the direction of the voice.

Their late mother, who later raised the whole family and took care of them alone, was now standing at the door looking at them.

EVA

The two legendary demon hunters who were fighting fiercely in the previous second stopped what they were doing at the same time, with each other's weapons stuck in their chests. They stood there like children who had done something wrong, looking at the person in front of them who was both familiar and unfamiliar.

"..."

Dante and Virgil didn't say anything because they had been told before that the EVA summoned in this way was just a replica, a perfect replica, but she was not the dead EVA after all.

On the other side, EVA, who couldn't even be considered a heroic spirit (after all, her deeds were not widely circulated and could not be called a legend), walked up to Dante and Virgil and looked at them.

"You have all grown up..." she said.

"..." A trace of panic appeared on the faces of both of them. In fact, they had not figured out how to face this familiar yet strange person - they really just wanted to come over and take a look.

"I know, I'm not your mother, I'm not her." EVA continued. "You don't need to call me that..."

"It's enough to see you all grow up well."

"I'm sorry, Virgil, I couldn't find you then."

"...No." Virgil said. "It's not your fault."

Even if the person in front of him is just a fake, Virgil can't face it normally, and Dante...

"Hey~ Hey~ We finally meet and you're talking about this?" Dante returned to his previous coquettish look, pulled out the Yama Blade from his chest, and pulled out his own magic sword from Virgil's chest. "You don't know, after you and dad left, Virgil did a lot..."

"Dan! Ding!"

"Why? Are you upset because I reported you?"

"you..."

It could be said that it had been a long time since they had seen this happen. The two were just bickering instead of directly drawing knives to fight, but this scene made them miss it a little - it was the same when their father and mother were still alive.

"You are still the same as when you were little." EVA said. "I want to hear what you want to say..."

“Your story.”

Far Eastern Star Region of the Human Empire

New Star Regions

This is an area very far away from the original Solar Star Region. It is located at the easternmost part of the Far East Star Region and is an area that is being developed and colonized.

Although the human empire has begun to colonize various worlds, the Warhammer world, as its basic base, has not stopped expanding. After all, it has been developing for so long, it is unrealistic to give up just like that.

Some new Rogue Traders have accepted this arduous task. They will cross the alien territories that were originally difficult to penetrate, carry out new pioneering activities for the Empire, and at the same time try to establish trade zones that the Empire has never tried before, and conduct normal trade with a large number of alien races (mainly the Eldar).

This is not easy. Although the imperial official agencies, mainly the Inquisition, have relaxed their stance because of Zhang Yi, the approvals and restrictions are still outrageous.

On the other hand, apart from the Eldar in Nuwenus, there are still many Eldar and surviving Dark Eldar who do not know or do not acknowledge that the Eldar have established a fragile alliance with humans. They still hate and despise humans, and even continue to treat humans as prey.

Finally, the vast majority of the imperial staff who were in the right place at the right time never really let go, or they never wanted to let go of the "correct behavior" they had been doing for so long. Many high-ranking officials of the empire, including Zhang Yi, were not optimistic about this expansion and attempt.

The wandering trader, Bananak, took advantage of the opportunity to meet the new emperor of the human empire (here it means seeing an armored man 800 meters away), and was personally assigned this task by Zhang Yi along with several other new wandering traders.

He is not someone else, he is just one of the many ordinary humans in the empire. He is extremely loyal to the empire and hates aliens and heretics so much that he wants to kill them as soon as possible.

Everything seems to be the same as before. The conflict between humans and aliens in this star region seems to have never changed. They are hostile to each other, attacking and targeting each other, but it seems that something is missing...

Less... Chaos...

591. Kratos Comes Out

Chaos, the great enemy of the Human Empire in the past (and still is), has decreased in intensity and frequency of Chaos activity in the entire 40K world since the Human Emperor on the Golden Throne sacrificed himself to seal the four Warp Evil Gods (and the Eldar Death God who broke in) in the Solar System.

It’s not that Chaos’ various actions and believers have disappeared, but because the four evil gods have gone offline, many Chaos actions have had obvious problems, so that the Inquisition has reaped great rewards for a period of time.

After the four gods' avatars returned and each caused destruction to announce their return, chaos once again became quiet, to the point of being abnormal.

It is no exaggeration to say that this period of time was the time when Chaos had the least actions and the human empire was least affected by Chaos, so much so that some people began to forget the damage that Chaos had brought.

Ordinary Chaos followers who performed rituals and called out without receiving a response; legionaries who suddenly found themselves without a 'leader' after a large number of rebellions; and Chaos Space Marines who seemed to have disappeared completely.

Although this situation was expected to happen, according to reports from various places, the temporary absence of the Four Gods seemed to have had too much impact on the Chaos Side.

Yes, this is a good thing. Without the influence of the great enemy Chaos, the Human Empire can fully develop science and technology, improve people's livelihood and other actions, in order to prepare for exploring more worlds and responding to future challenges, but...

In fact, this is not good news. If only Nurgle or a single Chaos faction fell into silence, it would be normal, but the current situation is that the actions of all Chaos factions have weakened.

I still remember the last time this happened was when the four gods decided to join forces once again to attack the heart of the human empire - the solar system, and this time...

In response to this situation, Guilliman mobilized and redeployed the army to ensure that any possible Chaos attack would not affect several important galaxies and planets. He then asked Magnus and Lorgar, who once belonged to Chaos, to investigate the cause of Chaos' abnormal behavior again.

Although the four evil gods of the Warp can no longer use their power to directly influence the real universe, and the power of their separated clones is extremely limited, as long as they are not completely resolved, the threat of the Warp will always be a threat like a sword of Damocles hanging over the head of the Human Empire.

Because everyone knows that Chaos has never disappeared, they are just waiting for the opportunity.

Devil May Cry World

"Hmm..." Zhang Yi looked at the two people who had just come back and had fought, and said thoughtfully. "You have mixed feelings, right?"

Although the EVA created by opening a backdoor through the suppression force is a fake, it also fulfilled the wishes of Dante and Virgil.

At first their communication was fairly normal, just talking about their experiences over such a long time, Virgil and Dante undermining each other and revealing their dark history.

Then, the conversation turned to Nero's mother, Virgil's wife, whose name he might have long forgotten.

In the past, Dante would often bring this up, and then the two sides would fight, but that was before. Now that this issue was brought up in front of EVA, Virgil was obviously a little panicked.

"What's up, brother? You don't dare admit what you did?"

"I dare to take responsibility for what I did." Virgil said this with almost gritted teeth. "Why don't you tell her about Tracy?"

Virgil's counterattack made Dante a little confused, and before he could fully react, Virgil directly called Zhang Yi, who was watching the show, over and asked him to open the portal.

Then...

When Tracy, who also knew something about this matter (information was to be gathered from her), poked her head out of the portal, Dante's expression changed noticeably.

It’s not that Dante has two girlfriends and is playing tricks on others. After all, Sparta also had many admirers (like the electric guitar female demon in the third generation), and EVA also knew about this.

But the problem is that Tracy was created by Mendes based on the image of his mother EVA, which means...

Oedipus is not a big deal. For EVA, who raised them almost single-handedly and died at the hands of the devil to protect them, the two brothers more or less have more respect and love for their mother (after all, their father was not at home for many days sometimes). However... being known by her is another problem.

"I suddenly remembered that I have a commission, so I'm leaving now!"

Dante almost ran into the portal, and Virgil stood up, but stopped where he was and looked back at EVA.

"Go after him," the Heroic Spirit EVA suddenly said. "But remember, stop when you start bleeding."

Virgil then chased after him, and EVA looked at Tracy who was a little surprised.

"Would you please have a word with me, a deceased person, pretty lady?"

. . . . . .

The matter between Dante and Virgil came to a temporary end. Virgil then agreed to give the Yama Sword in his hand to Zhang Yi and the others to study for a period of time while he was present.

Now, the three Spartan bloodlines have temporarily let down their guard against Zhang Yi and the others. At the same time, perhaps because of seeing EVA, they began to think about what to do next.

Nero's situation is relatively simple, he just wants to be a demon hunter and help Kylie open a shop, while Virgil and Dante... Let's put it this way, these two can be regarded as vagrants.

Dante often spent more money than he earned on commissions, while Virgil simply had no money at all.

"I'm afraid that when we went to see Nero's mother, she was just buying on credit (the original setting said that she was a special worker)..." Zhang Yi whispered.

Therefore, the Human Empire sent some officials here and established a company for demon hunters to solve their various financial problems. At the same time, it also allowed the originally scattered demon hunters to gather together and connect with local government agencies to better deal with demon problems.

After all, even if the large-scale demon invasion has come to a temporary end because of Dante and Virgil, as long as the demons still exist in the demon world, the demons' invasion of the human world will never stop. As mentioned before, demons hunt humans like wolves eat sheep. It is an instinct, and they will tirelessly look for opportunities to come to the human world and kill humans.

On the other hand, neither of them was enthusiastic about letting these two legendary demon hunters go to the Warhammer world to deal with the demon problems there. Although they took it as their responsibility to protect humans, those were also the humans of their world. Besides, they had never seen Sparta go to other worlds to enforce the law across borders.

They were willing to be hired to deal with minor problems, but to save an unfamiliar world? Goodbye.

This situation was also within Zhang Yi's expectations. Not everyone would be willing to fight in a cesspool, let alone a cesspool that had nothing to do with them.

Even though he failed to trick the two legendary demon hunters into working in the cesspool, the materials and new forging methods obtained from a series of demons were already very good gains, and it would take a lot of time to study and digest them.

Just when the exploration of the Devil May Cry world came to a temporary end, news came from the soldiers stationed in the God of War world.

The barrier has been broken and Kratos' journey has begun.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Kratos has been feeling bad lately.

His wife died, and then a man named Badr came to cause trouble, and the nearby mountains were cracked.

I have been running away from the gaze of God all my life, running away from the past that I couldn't bear to look back on, but now, I am being targeted by a new God.

Kratos didn't know why Odin of the Nordic world was looking for him, nor did he know why Balder wanted to fight with him for a disagreement, but he knew that this journey would not be peaceful and would be full of obstacles and dangers.

To be honest, Kratos was very worried. He was worried about his son's safety and also worried that his son would know about his past.

He killed all the gods, brought great disaster to the whole of Greece, and lost everything. He didn't want Atreus to know all this.

But, the world doesn't seem to want to let him go...

592. Wolf Cub and God of War

The further strengthened [Leviathan Axe] was handed to Kratos. As a legendary warrior who had experienced countless battles, Kratos could clearly feel that the weapon in his hand was a little different.

"If you can find better materials, it (Leviathan Axe) can be further strengthened." Brock said with one hand on his desk. "You have to know that good weapons cannot be separated from good materials."

"What about those silvery lumps of metal behind the forge?"

"Those, those were given to me by someone to experiment with. They were called 'impact steel'," Brock replied. "They say it's a special metal that can change itself according to a person's will and magic power. I haven't figured out how to forge them yet. After all, there are only so many of them."

"Is there such a magical metal?" Atreus was obviously very interested in this magical thing.

"Based on the results of my tests, it's pretty much the same, but I don't know much about its properties yet." Brock replied. "If you're interested, you can go to their camp and see if there's more impact steel there."

"Thank you."

Kratos and Atreus' journey continues. Because of Brock's words, in the future they may go to the camp established by Zhang Yi and others in this world.

Now, Wolf King Leman Russ, who has been in this world for some time, can finally begin his journey.

However, he must first learn not to cause trouble.

. . . . . .

It is no exaggeration to say that there is no shortage of divine creatures in the Nordic world. Take the Valkyries, a Nordic specialty, for example. These majestic female warriors have the ability to temporarily transform into swans (there seems to have been a case where a Valkyrie who turned into a swan was shot down by an ordinary person and made into a delicacy).

You never know whether a seemingly beautiful, magical, or majestic animal is really an animal or just a transformation of some bored god, so... don't hunt recklessly.

A wild boar emitting a little golden light and with unknown patterns on its body was fleeing, and behind him, a giant wolf was following closely.

But soon, the wild boar disappeared into the fog, and the giant wolf following him stopped outside the fog.

"I remember he seemed to be some kind of god... He forgot how to transform back?" Leman Russ, who was not wearing power armor, came to the giant wolf shortly afterwards and stroked its dense fur. "This should be the residence of that Freya..."

As he spoke, Leman Russ drew a cross on the map in his hand and wrote down the location information.

"Let's go, my soul." Leman Russ turned and prepared to leave, and the giant wolf followed his movements. "We can't waste precious time to get out and enjoy the fresh air."

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Jörmungandr - The Serpent of the World

This gigantic creature is said to be able to circle the entire world. When it appeared, the water level of the entire [Nine Realms Lake] dropped significantly.

Leman Russ, holding a magic battle axe, knocked down the undead warriors that blocked his way. The giant wolf beside him bit one of the undead warriors and shook it around.

The tattered wooden shields in their hands were smashed by Leman Russ's axe, and then the undead warrior, who was only half the height of Leman Russ, was grabbed and thrown over the cliff not far away.

"Bon voyage, you stubborn idiot (the Undead Warriors are formed by stubbornness and excessive anger)!"

Another undead warrior flew out right after the previous one, and the giant wolf jumped and stood next to Leman Russ.

At this moment, a huge roar suddenly sounded, and the fog around was dispersing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Hearing the sound, Leman Russ came to the edge of the cliff. The water of the Lake of the Nine Realms was right in front of him. An unimaginable giant snake emerged from the lake, and its huge head stopped in front of a canoe.

"This is the World Serpent." Leman Russ said, looking at the giant snake in the distance. "It is much larger than the Fenris Wolf (a terrifying creature on the home planet of the Space Wolves)."
