Warhammer, about my years with the Wolfpack

As Lorgar said, Guilliman was only one step away from transcendence, and he had been reluctant to take that step before! But now, Guilliman decided to take it!

The moment Guilliman's thoughts reached a clearing, his mind seemed to enter a vast expanse of space, a place rife with undercurrents. Countless shadows lay hidden beneath the waves. And in the infinity beyond, indescribable regions shone forth their presence. Guilliman had never seen anything like it, but he knew he had entered the Warp!

At this moment, his mind was like a giant whale, swimming freely in the Warp, feeling quite at home. The demons and monsters that usually terrified him were reduced to ash with a single blow. For the first time, Guilliman felt how powerful his mind was in the Warp. It was a wonderful feeling.

He cast his gaze cautiously over certain areas. His subconscious told him that these were the realms of the gods, the gods of Chaos and the gods of Order. He dared not look directly at these areas, only glancing at them from afar. But further away, Guilliman saw a warped industrial world within the Warp: twisted machinery, twisted flesh, twisted knowledge. All this distortion was spreading from the Warp into the real universe.

"What a foul and evil being Jonson and Vulkan are dealing with." Guilliman sighed in shock as he saw the domain of the valkyrie.

When Guilliman's spirit plunged into the Warp, boundless power and knowledge merged into his consciousness. As descendants of the Emperor, advanced beings crafted from the Warp's rare materials, the Primarchs themselves were a vast treasure trove, but they lacked the means and opportunity to understand themselves. Once they faced their own true selves, the gifts of the Emperor and the Warp became like their own personal treasure trove, available to them at their own request!

Everything he had experienced was but a moment. When Guilliman's spirit returned to his body, he felt stronger than ever before!

"Lorgar, I am no longer the same person I was before!" Guilliman stood up, his wounds healing rapidly. Even the fragments of power armor that had fallen to the ground were pulled back to his body by an inexplicable force, reuniting with the armor. A vortex of psionic energy, powerful enough to shock Ahriman, converged on Guilliman's power gauntlets. He struggled lightly, and the shackles Lorgar had cast upon him broke.

"Interesting, Guilliman, have you finally faced up to your own origins?" Lorgar looked at Guilliman and sneered. If it weren't for Khorne's blessing and divine power, Lorgar's first reaction upon seeing Guilliman would have been to prepare for retreat. But this time, Lorgar was different!

Flashes of psychic energy gathered on Guilliman's body, and he fired the first psychic energy since his birth at Lorgar. The vast psychic lightning surged towards his opponent like a tide, destroying everything it encountered along the way. Altars, shrines, various furniture and decorative items turned into nothingness in the vast psychic waves. Even if Magnus was here, he would have to boast that it was good.

However, just as Guilliman hoped his psychic energy could completely devour the leader of betrayal, Lorgar swung his hammer. An invisible force blocked the psychic tide, and then as Lorgar's hammer fell again, Guilliman's psychic lightning turned into a spark.

"Your psychic energy is worthless in my eyes," Lorgar said with a hint of pride. Khorne Daemons are naturally adept at suppressing psychic energy. And Lorgar, blessed by Khorne, can easily neutralize psychic attacks capable of destroying a Titan.

"You have become stronger, but not strong enough!" Lorgar raised his hand and pushed Guilliman!

Guilliman tried to block, but neither his psychic energy nor his physical strength was adequate against the thrust. The immense force even pierced through his power armor and body, sending a series of crackling sounds through his spine. For a moment, Guilliman felt as if he might faint. But his strong will kept him awake. But with another blow, Guilliman was knocked to the ground again, his whole body paralyzed.

"Kill Lorgar. Use all your means to defeat your opponent. The Emperor is still fighting. For the sake of human civilization, He has not given up. Why should you lie on the ground like a dead dog?" A voice echoed in Guilliman's mind. A clown with a half-mask flashed through Guilliman's mind.

"Go and help my father, Lord Harlequin," Guilliman pleaded.

"I'm not his descendant." Xilego showed a strange smile at the corner of his mouth, and then disappeared.

At this moment, Guilliman felt a deep sense of defeat. He had tried his best, but he was still no match for Lorgar, who could even knock him down with a single blow. He had never hated his own weakness and powerlessness as much as he did now. Overwhelmed with remorse, guilt, and love for the Emperor, Guilliman desperately struggled to his feet. He no longer trusted the Traveler, for he had his own mission, and the Eldar had rejected him.

"I will defeat Lorgar, I will save my father, I must save my father!" Guilliman was furious, but at the same time, he was also searching for every possible solution. His soul desperately roared in defiance. The silent howl echoed in the warp, even creating ripples.

"Your voice is too loud." Lorgar walked over with a gloomy face, and then smashed Guilliman's back hard with his war hammer. The huge force almost emptied the air from Guilliman's lungs!

"I cannot..." Guilliman struggled to breathe, but the pressure from Lorgar made it difficult, as he once again prepared the power-draining Chaos spell. Facing the hammer pressed against him, Guilliman finally released himself. While retaining his absolute loyalty to the Emperor and Humanity, his spirit finally accepted any power that was willing to be used by him. In the Warp, Guilliman's spirit projection issued its own call.

At this moment, Guilliman suddenly recalled the scene more than 100 years ago when the Emperor granted Guilliman the title of Lord of the Legion. When the Emperor agreed to let Guilliman have an autonomous kingdom, it was not just a ceremony, but also an authority. He was the Lord of Ultramar, and it was decided by the god, the Emperor!

That day, Guilliman's earthly body accepted the crown bestowed by the Emperor, but his heart did not accept the authority bestowed by the Emperor. But now it is different. In the Warp, the Lord of Ultramar declares his presence! And when Guilliman in the Void puts on the crown, the human faith of Ultramar, along with Guilliman's call, is integrated into his soul!

Countless people's prayers, blessings, and hopes for the future rushed into the spiritual world of the Lord of Ultramar like a flood. In an instant, amid the prayers of hundreds of billions of people, Guilliman's soul rose in the Warp like a rising star! Or perhaps it could be said that at this moment, the power of faith of hundreds of billions of people directly ignited a star in the Warp!

At this moment, countless forces of faith transformed into Guilliman's own strength. His soul was so intense and fierce that the Warp beings who had once held some interest in the Primarch's soul fled howling. Those who ran even a little slower would have been melted by this terrifying force of faith. Even more terrifying was that Guilliman didn't even intend to deal with these things; it was a completely spontaneous self-protection mechanism.

"What is that? I feel another presence like our father." Corax, who was fighting, suddenly looked into the void and saw Guilliman's golden soul.

"Is that Guilliman? That's terrifying. Is he also going down this path?" Alpharius said in a complicated tone. "I told you before, Guilliman has ambitions."

"The Lord of Ultramar has embarked on the path of ascension, but he is still far from becoming a god," the masked man explained.

"Really? I feel like Guilliman and my father's projection in the Warp are very similar." Corax asked.

"You saw the projection of the Lord of Ultramar in the Warp, and you saw the projection of the Emperor that the Emperor wanted you to see. There is a huge difference between the two." said the Mask.

"Can everyone get back to work?" the Khan said, looking at the sun rising in the Warp. Guilliman's acceptance of the power of faith was something the Khan was happy to see. After all, the enemy was so formidable. The Primarchs still needed to work hard. "After victory, we'll have plenty of time to discuss these matters."

"Kill them!" Corax said with a wave of his hand.

Guilliman has awakened, which is something that the Primarchs and a very small number of psykers can see. As for the ordinary legion soldiers, they cannot see the rising star in the warp, but somehow they feel as if they have been given a buff, their thinking is sharper and their reactions are faster.

--------

"Lorgar, you're right. I'm a coward and naive person. But that was me in the past." A beam of light pierced directly from the Warp through the real universe. When Guilliman's soul returned to his body, carrying the vast power of faith, the immense force directly repelled Lorgar. This time, Lorgar finally saw what the path of faith was like.

Lorgar's vision was high enough. After all, he had witnessed Perturabo's ascension and had himself attained divine power. Perturabo's ascension wasn't based on faith, but rather on a technological advancement, even reaching the level of understanding the laws of the real universe. If the world were a piece of music, then after Perturabo's ascension, the strings would already be visible.

But Guilliman's Faith Ascension is essentially a form of powerful force. In terms of status, it's actually quite impressive. Some might argue that the Traveler also achieved godhood through the power of Faith. This is incorrect. After all, the Traveler absorbing Faith is different from relying solely on Faith.

He himself is humanity's foremost scientist, possessing a wealth of knowledge from the Eldar. Combined with the concept of human travel established through his tens of thousands of years of reincarnation, the Traveler's ascension to godhood is complex and uniquely unrepeatable. After all, from the dawn of human civilization to the present day, only the Emperor and the Traveler have survived... The title of the Originator of Travel could not possibly be bestowed upon any other being.

Perturabo saw the strings, but what did Guilliman see? He saw the human heart, the essence of the Warp and the soul. He saw the mind within Lorgar that was about to be devoured by its own greed. And the twisted knowledge and consciousness that came from Chaos.

"Filthy creature!" Guilliman rose again, this time ablaze with golden lightning. A crown composed of faith, psychic energy, and divine power appeared above his head. Yes, divine power. After all, the Emperor and the Traveler couldn't really let Guilliman die, could they? A beating would be enough. Guilliman would need to be back in the office later, and they couldn't let the Emperor and the Traveler sit there, could they?

Only now is Guilliman capable of competing with Lorgar. Thus, the two have returned to the original rhythm of Warhammer 40, where everyone speaks with their fists. As for whether it can match the background of the Emperor and Horus War, where the two sides directly play cards in the later stages? What level are these two guys at, and they still want to play cards?

What followed was the scene the Traveler had witnessed earlier: Guilliman, now in the form of a massive golden figure, pinned Lorgar down and pummeled him. Fists imbued with the power of faith rained down upon Lorgar again and again, sending him stumbling backwards, yet unable to kill him. Guilliman had only just gained the power of faith and was unable to wield it effectively, while Lorgar, blessed by Khorne, could rapidly recover from his injuries. Furthermore, the divine power Lorgar had gained was enough to rival Guilliman, a melee expert.

After a battle, Guilliman gained the upper hand, but could not completely win. Of course, all this was unimportant. The important thing was that Khorne was about to be defeated, and Lorgar had to go.

"Haha, Khorne has been tricked too." Lorgar sensed the changes in the outside world and eventually realized the whole story. The Emperor was injured, but it was all a ruse. The Emperor and the Traveler used this opportunity to severely damage Khorne. Nurgle appeared, but he did not take back what was His. Unsurprisingly, this time the Chaos Gods lost again.

"Guilliman, you finally took this step and became the person you once hated." Lorgar taunted.

"Isn't it all because of you guys? Maybe after I get rid of all of you, I will give up this power, but before that, I will use all the means I have to kill you!" said Guilliman.

"Perhaps. Goodbye, Guilliman. This ship is yours." Lorgar didn't want to hear Guilliman's further comments. He turned, opened a portal, and left. Meanwhile, Khorne had finally decided to withdraw from the battlefield. With Khorne's departure, a massive Warp Parade stretched across the battlefield, and the remnants of the Rebel fleet vanished into thin air.

The Battle of Calth has come to an end!

Chapter 437: Continue to fight against Tzeentch! (5K)

"Khorne's clone has also been severely injured. Nurgle's clone has lost his most powerful weapon. This great rebellion is finally over." The Emperor sighed while treating the wound.

Honestly, this fight with Khorne wasn't easy. The two sides were fairly evenly matched, roughly evenly matched. Repelling Khorne wasn't difficult, but inflicting heavy damage on his avatar was. This required a certain level of skill. On the one hand, Khorne had to be convinced of his chance; only then would he stay and fight, allowing the Emperor and the Traveler to inflict heavy damage. On the other hand, Khorne was reckless, but not foolish, and he needed to have a strong hand.

Show weakness, then lure Khorne into a desperate gamble, while simultaneously counteracting Khorne's own trump cards with his own. Then, he'll seize the opportunity and deliver a devastating blow. The Traveler's plan wasn't overly complex, but it worked! After being severely damaged, Khorne posed no threat to the Emperor or the Traveler. His condition might even be worse than that of a Tzeentch clone.

"Almost there, only one Nurgle left," the Traveler nodded. "As for Vashtor? He has been sacrificed on the altar of war. We need to deal with him before we finally put an end to Horus, and then use his corpse to nourish human civilization."

Vashtor is doomed to die. It can even be said that the fate of this ancient demigod has been determined before the battle between Khorne and the Emperor. This has nothing to do with who wins or loses in the battle between the Emperor and Khorne. The fundamental reason is that Vashtor's authority is still good, which makes all high-ranking beings interested. However, Vashtor is not strong enough!

Not to mention his position in the Eastern Realm of Chaos, his current incomplete and almost hopeless forging power alone has already made the Chaos and Order Gods jealous. Previously, Wa Banxian was able to survive because of the Chaos God's tacit approval, but now he no longer has that opportunity.

If Khorne triumphs over the Emperor, he will undoubtedly become the most powerful of the evil gods. He has already determined to seize true and complete power over war, and the power to forge and invent the Vulcans is what Khorne desires. A Khorne victorious over the Emperor will be far more powerful than the weakened Tzeentch and Slaanesh. Nurgle will not stand in Khorne's way, and will more likely divide the Vulcans together.

Now Khorne has lost, but the Emperor and the Traveler have won. There's no reason for them to let go of one of the masterminds behind the AI ​​rebellion. Whether it's revenge for human civilization or the power the Traveler covets, the Gods of Order have no intention of letting Varbansen go. Meanwhile, the Chaos Gods, already severely damaged, are unable to aid Varbansen, and a fight to the death is likely. After all, Khorne wants Tzeentch and Slaanesh dead, while Tzeentch holds Mortarion, refusing to give it to Nurgle. Khorne lost Nurgle's scythe. Their relationship is incredibly complex.

Wasn't it the Chaos God's request to attack the Human Empire? Why would the Chaos God attack Wa Banxian now? So, is this a moral argument with the Chaos Gods? Is there any point? Using fists is more appropriate!

"How much will it cost us to kill Vashtor? And how much will we gain?" asked the Emperor.

"It depends on the situation. After all, it's not just us who are attacking. The Chaos Gods are also involved. I guess except for Slaanesh, the other Chaos Gods all want to get some compensation from Vashtor. This is a hunt for the Dark Forger. The hunters are very cunning." The traveler said uncertainly.

The prey was doomed, the Traveler said, because they were not on the same level. Even though the Avatar of Khorne wasn't in great shape, it was still possible to kill a forged demigod who had been fighting for a long time. After all, the Striated Malcador followed the Lion, his power coming from the Emperor. Although the Dark Angels and Salamanders remained passive, they also consumed the power of the Demigod.

This is the case with Khorne after being severely damaged. Then the Emperor and the Traveler, Nurgle and Tzeentch all have the ability to single-handedly defeat Vaal. Even if the Harlequin takes out some things from the Black Library, calls on the Phoenix King and the remnant soul of Vaal, and is willing to pay some price, it can actually be tried.

So, in the ensuing battle on the Ghoul Star Cluster, killing Val wasn't the problem; the challenge was how the hunters would trip each other up. After killing Val, what would the Gods of Order gain? This wasn't a matter of fists alone, but of brains; it required careful thinking.

"By the way, what do you think of the Iron Man Rebellion of mankind? Why is it that in the history of galactic civilization, among civilizations of the same level, only human AI has gone out of control?" asked the Emperor.

"Maybe it's because human AI technology is real, pure science and technology. But unfortunately, we haven't reached the level of the Necrontyr back then." The traveler thought for a moment and said.

"Your explanation surprises me a little. I have always believed that science and technology are the most reliable shield against the evil of the Warp." The Emperor said with some surprise.

The Emperor knew that playing with psychic powers could lead to disaster, so in the background, the Emperor disliked psychic powers. The Emperor also knew that playing with AI could lead to serious problems, so he disliked AI. But why would such problems arise? The Emperor didn't actually understand. Or perhaps his understanding wasn't thorough enough. After all, there were so many people playing with AI in the galaxy, so why did humans have to suffer such a problem?

"First and foremost, it's certain that without the Chaos God and Vashtor, an AI rebellion might have occurred, but it wouldn't have been particularly large-scale. Therefore, the problems with human AI are due to Chaos." The Traveler pondered and offered a conclusion. After all, at this level of interstellar civilization, how could there be no AI technology? Furthermore, AI is created by an intelligent civilization, which will undoubtedly have various limitations and problems, but the probability of major failures is actually low.

"The Eldar's technology is actually based on souls, spirit bones, and conventional science and technology. We all know what spirit bones are; they are solidified warp power. Every important Eldar weapon is inextricably linked to souls and psychic energy. Furthermore, the protection of the Eldar gods blocks most contamination from high dimensions, so their AI won't be in trouble."

Do Eldar weapons rely entirely on AI? Actually, this AI is quite cryptic. For example, various Nether Machines have their cores controlled by Soul Stones embedded within them, and are then assisted in their operation by specialized Visionaries. The core control of Nether Lords and larger Titans is also related to Soul Stones, so this is not pure AI.

Even the Eldar fleet, including a class of warships known as ghost ships, lacks a single living person aboard, completely controlled by the Eldar souls within their soul circuits. It can be said that, in many cases, the Eldar utilize soul AI, rather than human electronic technology! Coupled with their already impressive psychic control and the former Eldar God Court, Eldar AI is impervious to problems.

Even after the Eldar declined, this system was still quite effective. If Vashtor wanted to cause trouble, it would be difficult to do so. After all, the Eldar's AI was a combination of soul and technology, while the power of the Vashtor was more technological.

"As for the orcs? Their technology can be described as completely chaotic. Although there's a theory that if the orcs were to revert to their ancestral state, their technological creations might become relatively easier to understand, overall, orc technology is definitely not purely rational. This is certain."

"Similar to the Eldar, the Orcs have their own racial gods. Although the two of them are in a state of confusion, they generally block most of the interference from the evil gods. This means that although the Orcs may also be contaminated by Chaos, the level is generally very low." The traveler explained.

"So what you mean is that it is precisely because humans are completely engaged in technological AI that they are easily contaminated by Chaos, which in turn leads to a major AI rebellion?" asked the Emperor.

The Emperor's technological level, in fact, is just so-so. It can't be said to be low, but it's definitely not top-notch. After all, the Space Marines He created were deemed inferior genetic products by an ancient AI (a super-AI's assessment of the Blood Angels Space Marines in the background). And in terms of engineering, He couldn't even build a Randan War Moon.

"Yes, that's basically what I mean. AIs are not stupid, or rather, they are very smart. Precisely because of their intelligence, they can realize that the threat in the subspace is the main threat, and this threat is not something they can face independently, so the Lord of Radiance will come back." said the traveler.

"Then I'm relieved. After we kill Vashtor, we'll have fewer problems." The Emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief. The Emperor also knew that behind the AI ​​rebellion was the shadow of Vashtor, and his authority was indeed difficult to control.

"But the prerequisite is that this power of forging cannot be taken away by Tzeentch," the Traveler said. Tzeentch's electronic demons are already annoying enough, and if they also gain access to forging authority, it will be even more troublesome for humanity. "If we can't obtain this forging authority, then we must either destroy it, even if it falls into the hands of Khorne and Nurgle, but never into the hands of Tzeentch."

"Nurgle should be more difficult to deal with now, right? After all, the power of Nurgle's clone is still relatively intact. And when I communicated with Jonson, Vulkan, Dorn and Perturabo before, they all expressed their desire to teach Nurgle an unforgettable lesson." The Emperor frowned and said.

"Well, Neos, let's first consider this question: which evil god has profited the most from this war so far?" The Traveler pondered, deciding to discuss the issue with the Emperor from a different perspective. Although the Traveler deeply hated Nurgle—after all, it was the Traveler who had recruited the Lord of Radiance, only to have Nurgle reincarnate him, a vengeance he would avenge—he remained calm.

"Slaanesh was completely defeated. Fulgrim and his Emperor's Children Legion have completely gotten rid of Slaanesh. Nurgle is also in a bad situation. Mortarion and his direct legions now refuse to follow Nurgle. Angron followed Khorne, but we recovered some of the materials, and the World Eaters Legion was severely damaged. And Tzeentch..."

Having said this, the Emperor suddenly paused. He realized a problem. Although Tzeentch was listed as the primary target by the Emperor and the Traveler from the beginning, and they did take turns beating Tzeentch, but now Tzeentch is the best among the Chaos Gods!

The legions corrupted by the four Chaos Gods were all severely damaged, but Tzeentch fared surprisingly well. Although most of the Thousand Sons returned to the Imperium during the War of the Thousand Sons, Tzeentch also captured nearly 2 of them. Furthermore, because the Thousand Sons had been severely damaged previously, they were able to slack off during the battle against Perturabo and his men, resulting in minimal losses. Later, Tzeentch bewitched Mortarion, resulting in the Death Guard under Mortarion now following Tzeentch's legions!

So the situation now is that Tzeentch holds two Primarchs: one is the dark side of Magnus, and the other is the complete Mortarion, which is still undivided! And as for the Legion, Tzeentch holds the remnants of the Thousand Sons and most of the Death Guard! This is really awkward. Even though Tzeentch was beaten badly, he is now the one who benefits the most! What's even more shocking to the traveler is that the number of Legion warriors Tzeentch has obtained in this plane far exceeds the background by several times!

In the background, during the final siege of Terra, Magnus led the Thousand Sons Legion, numbering around 8000. On this plane, while Chaos' overall strength was weak and Tzeentch had been dealt a blow, through various operations, the number of Space Marines currently under Tzeentch's command is estimated to be no less than 4! After all, the bulk of the Death Guard is in Mortarion's hands! And judging by the current situation, it will be extremely difficult for Nurgle to reclaim it.

"Fuck..." Upon hearing this, the Emperor felt completely upset. He originally thought that Tzeentch was nothing to be afraid of, but it turned out that Tzeentch was the Chaos God who benefited the most from this great rebellion.

"And this is not the most terrifying thing. In fact, before the final end, all the games and gains are empty. Only what is in the pocket is yours. And from the current perspective, the risk faced by Tzeentch is the smallest." The traveler paused and continued.

"Firstly, from Chaos's perspective, Tzeentch possesses an absolute advantage in mobility. If he doesn't want to fight Khorne, he can just run away. And when there's an opportunity on the battlefield, Tzeentch can rush in first."

"Then if Khorne and Nurgle work together to fight against Tzeentch, can they restrain Tzeentch? After all, in the Battle of Calth that just ended, Khorne and Nurgle were allies, and Tzeentch plotted against Khorne and Nurgle." The Emperor tried to ask.

"There is a chance, but don't forget, Khorne and Nurgle are not only facing Tzeentch, but also us. Think about this question, if the legions of Jonson, Perturabo and Dorn encounter Tzeentch and Nurgle, who will they deal with first?" The Traveler continued to ask.

"They will certainly deal with Nurgle first..." the Emperor said after a moment's reflection. After all, Nurgle had killed the friends of Jonson and the others, close friends who had fought against Randan together! Furthermore, from a tactical perspective, Tzeentch's legions were slippery. Catching them would be difficult, so they would definitely have to capture the Nurgle legions first and deal a heavy blow.

"If we encounter the incarnation of Tzeentch, it will be difficult to chase him. Most of the time, if Tzeentch wants to retreat, we will be unable to do anything about it," said the traveler.

To make a simple analogy, if the Traveler is a battlecruiser, the most capable of escaping among the gods, but with average fighting ability, then Tzeentch is a fast battleship. It may not be the fastest, but it can sometimes catch up to the Traveler, and its combat power is second to none among the evil gods. Therefore, it is very difficult to deal with.

Why was Tzeentch so severely damaged previously? The first time Tzeentch fought the Traveler, he had the upper hand. The second time he fought the Emperor, it was because he had to reclaim the Thousand Sons and couldn't retreat. The third time he was ambushed by the Traveler, it was because Tzeentch didn't know the Phoenix King had appeared. It was like an information gap. But after that, it became very difficult to contain Tzeentch.

"Then what should we do?" asked the Emperor. The Emperor didn't really like to use his brain. After all, most things were handled by the Emperor directly. There weren't many things that made the Emperor use his brain.

"That depends on the situation. We must first see what the evil gods are doing. Furthermore, the battlefield this time will be extremely complex. There will be a major battle in the physical universe, and there will also be a major battle in the depths of the warp, in the realm of the Wa Banxian. And in the warp, we are at a disadvantage."

"Yes, we are at a disadvantage." The Emperor nodded. This disadvantage does not refer to a disadvantage in battles between gods. Up to now, although the Gods of Order have also suffered losses, they are generally able to suppress the Gods of Chaos. After all, the Emperor and the Traveler are not in serious trouble. As for the Chaos side, not to mention the overall strength, they cannot unite in this situation!

The disadvantage the Emperor refers to is the disadvantage of the Warp Legions. Human legions are undoubtedly inferior to demonic forces in the Warp. While the Emperor and the Traveler have their own "demonic" legions, their numbers are far too small. After all, the three evil gods of KtN have been accumulating their forces for tens of millions of years, while the Traveler and the Emperor have only been accumulating them for a few years. In the background, the Legion of the Damned only appeared around 40.

"In that case, we should not intervene in the warp battles from the beginning." The Traveler's answer surprised the Emperor. After all, the home of the Va Banxian was in the Warp. Although Va Banxian had pulled some of his realm into the real universe during this war, the majority of his realm remained in the Warp.

Furthermore, if the pressure in the real universe became too great, the Vābāṇī might flee back into the Warp. The Emperor considered the Traveler's initial request not to intervene in the Warp's battles a bit too conservative.

"If we only defeat Vashtor in the real universe, and he is torn apart by the Chaos God after returning, we will be at a loss," said the Emperor.

"Perhaps, this guy has realized that dying in our hands is better than dying in the hands of the Chaos God." The traveler said leisurely after pondering for a moment.

"Can you explain it more clearly?" asked the Emperor.

Chapter 438: The Treatment of Vashtor (6K)

"Actually, at our level, or rather, at Vashtor's level, death isn't the end of everything," the Traveler said. On this plane, the Emperor had never experienced near-death, but the Traveler had nearly died. Regarding the question of the death of gods, the Traveler had considerable say.

Gods can die, but due to their powerful nature, many of them appear dead but are not completely dead. For example, the Eldar Khaine was shattered, but his incarnation still walks the mortal world. Weaker ones, such as the Lord of Radiance, were also shattered by Nurgle, but still have the chance to be reborn.

Furthermore, even for gods that were completely wiped out, like the gods of the Hrud (the race that wielded entropic weapons and gave LeBron James and the Iron Warriors such a horrific beating in the background, also known as the Space Ratmen), some remnants still remained after Slaanesh completely wiped them out. (This is a setting from the ancient past. Interested readers can search for it.)

There's even a rumor that something called the Umbra is a Warp-like entity formed after the death of the Old Ones. This suggests that even if gods are truly dead and can't return, they still leave their mark on the world. And these marks are generally quite troublesome. (Another theory is that the Umbra itself is the remnant of the Hrud gods, and also the remnants of the Old Ones.)

"So, you mean that even if this demigod is completely destroyed by us, He will still have a lot of remnants? Even these remnants may cause greater trouble at certain times?" said the Emperor.

"Indeed, it's even possible that he might be resurrected at some point. Don't forget, Vashtor is pursuing the Concept God, who is located in the due east of the Chaos Octagram. He may not be as powerful as Randan Lord, but because of his Concept God status, he can still be difficult to deal with at times."

"Another problem is that Vashtor has, to some extent, developed a close relationship with humans. Although we are trying our best to eliminate his knowledge and influence, our actions are not going smoothly due to time and other issues," said the traveler.

The Randan Lord was a demigod, a very powerful one, on the verge of godhood. However, after his passing, the aftermath was relatively minor. A crucial reason for this was that the Randan civilization was already gone. The Randan Lord was a god of faith, not a conceptual god, and he lacked the ability to sustain himself. Therefore, when the intelligent civilization that believed in him was gone, he was truly gone.

But Banxian Wa was different. While he was still a long way from achieving godhood compared to the Randan Lord, he had set his sights on the malevolent arts within the Chaos Octagram from the outset. It was the wisdom of darkness and the twisted forging of power. His goal was incredibly high, on par with the mighty powers of destruction. Perhaps it was precisely because he took such a bold step that he went off the deep end, unable to find the right path for tens of millions of years.

In addition to everyone's different pursuits, the relationship between Wa Banxian and humans has become closer. After all, his shadow can be seen in the Iron Man Rebellion, and there are indeed some people who regard Wa Banxian as a mechanical god. Although they have been labeled as heretics, and although the Emperor and the Traveler have been clearing them out, the same thing applies: time is too tight.
