Warhammer, about my years with the Wolfpack

"Before answering this question, I'd like to first understand some of the history of the orcs, such as the ancient orcs, the so-called clever ones, and why the ancient orcs fell into their current state?" The traveler said after a moment's thought. "Both the Eldar and the Necrontyr are ancient civilizations. I assume you are well-versed in the history of the ancient orcs, right?" The traveler said after a moment's contemplation.

Chapter 476 The Problem of the Orcs (5K)

"Then could you be more specific, sir? How much do you know about orcs and ancient orcs? Tell me what questions you have, and then I can answer them." The big clown thought for a moment and said.

"I've seen ancient orcs placed in stasis in the Endless Museum. They were called Crooks. One Crook was over 12 meters tall after putting on power armor, with their huge weapons placed next to them. It felt like the one standing in front of me was not an intelligent creature, but a terrifying biological weapon. I have no doubt that such an orc, equipped with weapons, can easily destroy the Knight Mech and the Nether Lord of the same level." The traveler thought for a moment and said.

"During my past travels, I've come across records about the Ancient Orc Empire in hidden corners of the galaxy. You Eldar should have defeated the Ancient Orc Empire, and there should be a branch of the Ancient Orcs called the Clever Boys, who are proficient in technology and forging. Their relationship with the Orcs is very complicated. Some sages believe these so-called Clever Boys are a subspecies of Orcs, while others believe they are the masters of the Ancient Orcs. But later, for some reason, these Clever Boys became extinct, or most of them died."

"So, what I want to know is why the ancient orcs fell, why the clever boy became extinct, why the orcs reverted to their ancestral form, and the war between you and the orcs." After the traveler finished speaking, he looked at the Big Clown and the Silent King. After all, these two existed in the same period as the ancient orcs, and large-scale battles must have taken place there.

"You are right. The orcs today are indeed the fallen ancient orcs, and the ancient orcs are indeed weapons created by the ancient sages to fight against various existences. They are powerful and very tough both physically and mentally. Their legions are disciplined, cold-blooded and cruel. Coupled with various high-tech weapons, they have become a very terrifying military civilization." The Big Clown paused and continued.

"However, this is not enough. Because their bodies are too strong, they are not suitable for doing very precise work, such as forging and precision processing. Can you imagine a 10-meter-tall orc screwing a screw?" The big clown smiled when he said this.

"So, the so-called smart guys are cooperating with this terrifying orc army. They provide technology and equipment to the ancient orc army, and the ancient orcs protect them and provide them with various supplies. The relationship between the two parties is a cooperative relationship, or it can be said that they are classified within a large category. Is that right?" asked the emperor.

(Some background stories suggest that the Clever Boy is the master of the Orcs or a branch of them. The author chooses the latter relationship because during the Beast Wars, the Eldar Shadow Prophet, after breaking into the palace, boasted about how the Eldar had defeated the Crok Empire. Since the Eldar called this empire "Old Orcs," this suggests that the Clever Boy was not the master of the Orcs. And since they called the Ancient Orcs "Crok" instead of "Greenskins," this suggests that the Ancient Orc Empire was probably not yet destroyed.)

"Yes, that's the basic relationship." The big clown nodded.

"While browsing through some ancient texts, I came across records that said the Eldar once defeated the ancient Orc Empire after the Necrontyr fell into slumber. Can you tell me about the history of this? And why did the Clever Boy perish?" the traveler asked. "Some records I've read suggest that the Clever Boy died of a plague."

"Haha, the so-called ancient sages, and the arrogant elves." The Silent King laughed when he heard this.

"Isn't what I said right?" The traveler looked at the Silent King. Then he looked at the big clown next to him with a strange expression.

"Well, let me explain this history. After all, when it comes to understanding the ancient saints and star gods, who among you here knows more than me?" The Silent King said with a smile.

"First of all, one thing that is certain is that the ancient saints actually had a backup plan for the races they created. The original races they created, whether it was the ancient elves or the ancient orcs, were all very powerful. The ancient orcs are a very clear example of this, and the same is true for the ancient elves. Their psychic power is much stronger than that of the current elves, and the ancient elves have a stronger ability to recover physically." said the Silent King.

(I've read a post about a Necrontyr Overlord who acknowledged the psychic powers of the Blood Angel Morpheus, but also stated that his psychic powers were just so-so in the eyes of the ancient Eldar. It's true that some of the Eldar's abilities are sealed, such as the Strand of Elsa. I've written about this before, so I won't elaborate here.)

"As for the Ancient Orcs, the same goes. As war machines, the Ancient Orcs cannot have weaknesses, so the original Ancient Orcs were indeed very strong, both physically and mentally. They have psychic powers and can link each other's mental power to form a powerful spiritual field to resist attacks from psychic and mental aspects." The Silent King said this with some emotion. It seems that it was not easy for the Necrontyrs to deal with the Ancient Orcs back then.

"But the smart guys who provided them with technical and equipment support are different. They are much weaker, or rather, they are not weak in themselves, but they are very weak when facing some super-specification existences. You just said that the extinction of the smart guys was due to some kind of plague, is that true?" asked the Silent King.

"Yes, this is the information I read." The traveler nodded.

"This isn't far from the truth. The extinction of the clever boys was due to a plague, but it wasn't a plague in the conventional sense. There was a divine manipulation and curse behind it. The ancient orcs were once used to fight against the Star Gods, and they did cause them some trouble, so some Star Gods cursed the ancient orcs. The ancient orcs themselves were very powerful, but the clever boys who provided them with equipment and technology were very weak, making them perfect candidates for the curse."

"In addition to the Star God, there is another guy who plays a very important role in this. This guy is Nurgle! He realized the horror of the ancient orcs, and he wanted to weaken them! So he took action." said the Silent King.

"So that's how it is," the Emperor said, suddenly realizing. The C'tan could curse living beings, and their methods were so advanced that even the most technologically advanced Necrontyr in the Warhammer universe couldn't do anything about it. One reason was the Necrontyr's own lifespan, and the other was the flaying curse, which even the automatons couldn't escape. And if it was the C'tan who was behind it, then it was only natural that a relatively weak and clever person would be cursed.

As for Nurgle taking action, it's perfectly normal. Isn't it normal for him to spread a plague at random? The half-immortal Vulcan would do evil behind the backs of humans at their peak, and it's also normal for Nurgle to do evil behind the backs of the ancient orcs.

(Note: The background mentioned that one possible cause of the clever boy's demise was a long-term plague, not a sudden death, but a gradual death.)

"No wonder. If Nurgle really took action, then the orcish rumor that the orc god beat Nurgle might be a revenge for this incident. As for whether they really fought or not, it is not clear." The traveler said in his heart.

"So, after the Star Gods and the Chaos Gods attacked that clever boy, the decline of this ancient orc civilization was doomed. It's just that this is a long process. After my race fell into hibernation, a war did break out between the Eldar and the ancient orcs. You did win, but the reason for your victory was not just the Eldar's fighting skills." After saying this, the Silent King looked at the Big Clown meaningfully.

"Basically, when our tribe was fighting the ancient orcs, the clever boy suffered heavy losses. They subsequently implemented some remedial measures, such as inserting genes into the orcs' DNA and attempting to improve the spiritual realm. The former allowed the orcs to retain some of their technology, while the latter gave rise to the so-called orc gods."

"There are many problems involved, so the result is the decline of the clever boy and the unsuccessful creation of a god, which led to the current situation of the orcs. The orc god is always in a chaotic and confused state, rarely awake, but when he wakes up, it will cause the orcs to regress. And when we defeat the atavistic orcs, we only banish this atavistic impulse, not permanently destroy it. He will come back." said the big clown.

(At the end of the book Beast Wars, the old Eldar prophet mentioned that humans and the Eldar killed the beast, not completely killing him, but temporarily exiling him, and he would eventually come back. The Bonebreaker in the 40K era in the background confirms this.)

"Then will the orcs return to the starting point? I mean, if the orcs return to their ancestors and continue to fight, will they return to the original state where the orcs and the smart boys helped each other?" asked the emperor.

"No. The smart guys have become extinct. They were fundamentally destroyed by the Star God and Nurgle. Even if the so-called technician boys come out, they are no longer the original smart guys." said the Eldar Death God.

In fact, he hadn't finished saying anything more: the Necrontyr had already perished. Even if the Silent King found a way to recover his body and soul, the Necrontyr were still hopeless. After all, the middle and lower ranks were gone. What could a few restored Necrontyr could do? Everyone knew this, but Inijed didn't provoke the Silent King. There was no need.

As for whether the genes of the clever boy can be used to reproduce the clever boy, this is a bit disrespectful to the gods. How can a race that the gods themselves destroyed be reproduced simply by using genetic technology?

"Will the Orks become the new dominant civilization in the galaxy?" The Emperor asked, paving the way for the gods of humanity. After all, there can only be one galactic overlord. If there are two, there's no place for two tigers in one mountain. Forget about the coexistence of humanity's Golden Age and the Eldar Empire; humanity's Golden Age was not as great as the peak of the Eldar Empire. After all, Shadow Harlequin boasted in the Imperial Palace that the Eldar Empire had suppressed humanity's Lifeless Legion at its peak. And the Eldar did indeed help humanity defeat the Iron Man Rebellion. Let's assume for the time being that what the Eldar say is largely true.

"Not likely," the Clown said after a moment's thought. "Orcs' periodic reversions are common. We've experienced them over the past tens of millions of years, but after we defeated the Ancient Orc Empire, their so-called reversions were relatively limited. Compared to the Ancient Orc Empire before, their so-called reversions now are nothing more than a joke."

(During the Beast Wars, the Eldar also mentioned that the so-called beasts were a joke compared to the previous ancient orc empire.)

"But if the orcs are given time to develop, will the situation change?" the Emperor asked.

"That shouldn't be possible," Iniered said after a moment's thought. "Because the orcs' chaos isn't just a result of the clever boy's genetic improvement, it's also due to the orcs' not-so-successful waaaagh stance."

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

"You know, the Eldar could reincarnate endlessly before because we have endless souls. The Eldar haven't established a deep spiritual consensus or psychic energy. But the Orcs are different. They hastily invested all their spirit and faith in an illusory existence. Their creation of gods was too hasty and too chaotic. Because the ancient Orcs emerged as a warrior race of ancient sages, this obsession with battle was written deep into their spirit and genes, which led to the Orcs' belligerence, but their consensus only extends beyond this."

"And as I said before, the orc gods are actually in a state of confusion and coma. This is the norm, and being awake is a rare state. And it won't last long," said Iniere.

"In simple terms, it is because of the extinction of the smart guys, the hasty genetic modification and the hasty creation of gods that the orc gods have actually been in a mentally abnormal state for a long time? Is that right?" asked the traveler.

"That's basically it. I even think that the orcs' true god didn't form when we were fighting with the ancient orc empire. Because I haven't encountered him." said the big clown.

Orcs speak of powerful Orc gods, even claiming two of them could have fought Nurgle together. However, aside from their battles against Nurgle, there's no record of Orc gods attacking Eldar gods. The Eldar claim they once fought against the Ancient Orc Empire and were victorious. So, if the Ancient Orc Empire collapsed, why didn't the Orc gods appear? The only explanation is that the Orc gods hadn't yet fully formed when the Ancient Orc Empire collapsed.

The relationship between the appearance of racial gods and races is fluid. The Eldar gods and the Eldar races are generally considered to have emerged at the same time, while the Traveler's deification clearly occurred later than human history. This is true even if the Human Emperor is considered a human god. The later appearance of Orcish gods is also quite normal. Alternatively, the ancient Orcs may have never had gods, and gods only appeared after they degenerated into Orcs.

The Eldar gods were suggesting that the Orc gods were indeed powerful, but due to inherent flaws, they were often confused for extended periods and lucid for brief periods. During these lucid moments, they would manifest as beasts. However, this state of mind was short-lived; once struck, they would become confused again, and the cycle would begin anew. If the Orc gods were mostly unconscious, it would mean that the Orcs would not challenge humanity's position in the galaxy. After all, their own gods were not in their right minds, and the Orcs themselves were not quite right either. Their behavior would at best only cause trouble, but would never lead to a struggle for supremacy.

"Do the Orks have two gods?" the Traveler asked. The situation with the Orks' gods is indeed rather unique. The Chaos Gods and even the Vraths have their own domains, and they can all be found. If the Emperor's projection in the Warp is an icy sun, the Traveler is a vast ocean. The Eldar Death God is a sea of ​​souls. The Ork gods, it seems, cannot be found in the Warp. Perhaps their Vraths form a separate dimension. Therefore, including the Traveler, no one knows how many Ork gods there are. And judging by the description, the Traveler feels that these two gods might be one and the same, or perhaps two sides of the same coin.

"Is there any difference between the two gods? Gogo is brutal and cunning, while Mao is cunning and brutal. In essence, they should be considered two sides of one god. Maybe they appear to be two, but we can regard them as one main god." said the big clown.

"Treating him to a main god-level being?" the Traveler muttered to himself. In reality, the Traveler didn't care whether the Orc God was two aspects of one god, or even two gods. What mattered to him was the overall strength of the Orc Gods. If the Orc Gods' combined strength reached the level of two main gods, it would be a major threat to human civilization. After all, humanity currently had two main gods. Adding a subordinate would already be the strongest combination in the Order faction. If it was just one main god, and they were communicable, then they could try to negotiate.

The current situation is that when the orc god is confused, the orcs cannot revert to their ancestral form, so they pose no threat to humans. When the orc god is awake, the orcs can revert to their ancestral form, which poses a threat to humans, but there is also the possibility of some kind of communication. After all, during the Beast War, the orcs tried to persuade the Terran bureaucrats to surrender.

When the orc god regained consciousness, the traveler attempted to engage in a tentative negotiation. Ultimately, both sides maintained restraint. If the orc god truly desired a fight, the gods of order would first defeat the orcs before acting. In any case, the outcome seemed to be that defeating a leader like the Beast would halt the orcs' atavism.

Humanity now has more than a dozen Primarchs, and the Traveler can exploit loopholes in the rules of the real universe and the Warp through the Webway. If the Primarchs can't handle it, there's the terrifying war machine of the Necrontyr. If that still doesn't work, the Traveler can take action himself and exile the beasts. After dealing with the Orks, we can continue with the previous grand plan. That's it!

While the Gods of Order were considering how to take advantage of the entry of a new player to deal a heavy blow to their opponent, the Gods of Chaos were also considering the changes that might result from the entry of the Great Devourer. Both Tzeentch and Nurgle were ambitious about this.

Chapter 477: The Chaos Gods' Plot (5K)

"New players are about to take the stage, and new variables are also coming. Everything is constantly changing. Who will be the winner this time, and who will be the loser?" Tzeentch sighed, looking at the vast miniature model of the galaxy before him. These past few years, or rather, the nearly ten thousand years since the end of the Heresy, have not been easy for Tzeentch. The historical trajectory of this plane has deviated significantly from that of the other. The Emperor no longer sits on the Golden Throne. Instead, Tzeentch is trapped in the Divine Realm, and any action he takes must be done in secret.

Khorne and Nurgle have formed a de facto alliance. Their legions have launched numerous attacks against Tzeentch over the past millennia, placing immense pressure on him. In the real universe, Tzeentch's followers and bewitched are far less likely to cause trouble than Khorne and Nurgle. After all, the trouble these two cause is so severe that the Imperium cracks down on them at the first sign of trouble. Tzeentch's followers, on the other hand, remain relatively secretive, which in turn gives him considerable strength, given his limited powers.

But it wasn't Tzeentch's style to constantly be defeated. Now, with a new leader poised to enter the fray, he sensed his opportunity. His gaze fell on a corner of the galaxy, a region known as the Scourge Stars. This was Nurgle's largest stronghold in the real universe, providing it with a vast supply of mortal legions and supplies. Using these resources, Nurgle had even begun to seek the power to evolve. Looking at the star cluster, Tzeentch let out a sinister laugh.

"Magnus, look at this place. Do you feel that the khaki fat man is trying to cover up his mistake?" Tzeentch asked, pointing to the location of the Scourge Stars.

"My lord, that is the edge of the Astronomican, and Khorne and Nurgle have set up a shield and destroyed the webway leading there. It will be very difficult for the Imperial fleet to reach that area." said the dark pony.

"What you said is true, but not entirely true. From a common sense perspective, those two guys did a great job isolating us. They blocked both psychic navigation and the Webway. However, gods are meant to break common sense, and those with corresponding authority can do things that even exceed the imagination of their fellow gods."

"You have no idea how terrifying the Traveler is at navigation and travel." Tzeentch glanced at the Dark Pony. "Of course, I'm not entirely sure, but I sense that if he wanted to, traveling to other galaxies, let alone the Scourge Stars, would be a piece of cake."

"If possible, He should try it. After all, His power is to travel?" said the dark pony.

"How do you know He didn't go? Can you still sense the whereabouts of your brother Khan?" Tzeentch asked back.

"So Khorne and Nurgle don't realize this is a trap?" asked the dark pony.

"Maybe, maybe not, but it doesn't matter. The Eye of Terror is gone, which is a huge blow to our cause, because it means it will be very difficult for us to enter and exit the real universe. It will also be more difficult to obtain supplies. Nurgle has thought about establishing a foothold in the real universe before, but what was the result? Typhon was killed. Now Nurgle has no choice."

"So even if those two didn't realize it before, now that the shadow from the void has emerged and the Zerg's tentacles have extended into the galaxy, they must have realized it, right? And with the power of the Empire and the Gods of Order, it is entirely possible for them to lead the Zerg to the Scourge Stars." said the Dark Pony.

"So what?" Tzeentch sneered. "If you want to gain something, you must take risks. If Nurgle wants to gain the power of evolution, he must engage with the Great Devourer, who is well versed in this, fight, and hone his power. This is inevitable. Nurgle even intends to initiate a battle with the Tyranids. As for Khorne, he also hopes to strengthen his power through war against the Tyranids."

During the last great rebellion, Khorne lost some of its authority over war, and the Gods of Order who gained this authority used their racial authority to gradually strip Khorne of the ability to obtain "taxes" from the war between humans and the Eldar. After all, there is also an element of war among human gods. The Traveler's killing of the Randan Overlord is actually consolidating the authority of the human god of war.

As the dominant power in the galaxy, Khorne's extra revenue has largely vanished since the Human Wars became irrelevant to him. So, now Khorne can't be picky anymore; just pick any enemy and start a war. And that's why Khorne isn't opposed to a future battle with the Tyranids. The end result is that, at this level, the Gods of Order and Chaos maintain a tacit understanding. As for the subsequent game, that's another story.

"So, what do we need to do?" asked the dark pony.

"Send more Tyranids into Ultramar and the Scourge," said Tzeentch.

"Shouldn't we open up new battlefields in other parts of the galaxy while the Empire and Nurgle are busy?" said the Dark Pony with some doubt.

"And then after causing trouble, you're just swept away by someone?" Tzeentch sneered.

"In the foreseeable future, the Zerg fleet alone will pose no threat to the human empire and the gods. At most, it will be a nuisance, unless... the Great Devourer can separate part of its essence and descend upon the galaxy." Tzeentch said.

"Then can we push this matter forward?" the dark pony said eagerly.

"Magnus, listen to me, if one day you provoke a guy who holds a grudge and whom you cannot defeat, that would be a very bad thing. In the game of gods, we are at a disadvantage, so we have to wait and see and not jump into the field easily, because throughout history, most of the first people to play will become nutrients for others." Tzeentch said thoughtfully.

"My Lord, you seem to have become more conservative." said the dark pony.

"Isn't that perfect? ​​We have become conservative, while Nurgle has become ambitious. Nurgle gives people the impression of being conservative, but many times, he just thinks he is conservative, and some of his actions are so radical and dangerous in the eyes of other high-level beings." Tzeentch sneered.

"Are you saying that his attempt to gain the power of evolution has caused the Gods of Order to be wary?" asked the Dark Pony. "Doesn't that give us a chance?"

"Don't worry. Given our relationship, the Traveler has his weapon trained on me," Tzeentch sighed. Honestly, if possible, he really wanted to talk to the Traveler. This guy, with the Gods of Order, had been chasing him relentlessly. Tzeentch didn't think the Traveler would forget him.

While Tzeentch was plotting his scheme deep within the Crystal Labyrinth, in Nurgle's garden, the Lord of Entropy was experiencing the powerful strength brought by his new power. Before his towering figure, a powerful demon with four arms, covered in heavy armor, with a human upper body and a snake lower body, half-knelt before Nurgle.

"Your essence has been elevated. You are the first Ascended I have ever created. Blood of Corruption, you have been fused with new powers. You know what to do." Nurgle nodded as he looked at the little figure at his feet. This was the first of Nurgle's demons capable of evolving by devouring the genes of living creatures. Not only were they powerful, they could also evolve to adapt to various battlefield environments. They would be the sharpest blades in Nurgle's hands.

Originally, Nurgle should have bestowed upon him the title of Herald. But consider this: since Typhon's death, all beings bearing this title seem to have met with disastrous end, typically surviving no more than 200 years in the physical universe. That being, the Lord of Radiance, has become a nemesis of Nurgle, specifically targeting Nurgle's Heralds. And as a Herald, Nurgle couldn't possibly allow him to remain permanently within their domain; otherwise, what kind of Herald would he be? Nurgle should just stay home!

"Take this and use it to attract the Zerg to obtain more materials for my authority. Once the seal is opened, it will emit a scent that will fascinate the Zerg. Go, go to the Scourge Stars and wait for the feast that will be delivered to your door." Nurgle handed a lantern to the Blood of Corruption.

"Follow your will, father, you will master the power of evolution." The Great Demon bowed again and then left the Garden of Nurgle with the newly born Nurgle Legion.

"You seem quite pleased with yourself?" Khorne's shadow appeared before Nurgle. The fishy smell of the sea of ​​knowledge and the scorching heat that hit him made Nurgle shift in disgust. He still disliked Khorne's aura, even though they were allies, even though Khorne had shown a sincerity unbecoming of an evil god.

"Shouldn't I be proud? I have found a new path. I have realized the new meaning of life. The end of life should not be death, but evolution. An adaptive evolution." Nurgle said with a little pride.

"Are you planning to merge the Scourge Stars with your realm?" Khorne said, glancing at the edge of the universe that stretched across the Garden of Nurgle.

"No, at least not all of them will be merged. I will leave some worlds behind. After all, those worlds need to provide supplies and equipment for my legion. I need healthy intelligent creatures to work for me. I am just building a channel now." Nurgle shook his head and said.

"Don't you find it strange? In the past, the Gods of Order would eradicate the bases we established in the real universe, and then use some force to build a more stable curtain between the real universe and the warp. But now, they allow you to establish a stronghold in the Scourge Stars. This is very abnormal." Khorne said.

"The Great Devourer of the Void is coming to see us. His tentacles have already reached out. His fleet is so huge, and this fleet is heading towards me. Next to me is Guilliman's Ultramar. The Gods of Order have anticipated this, and perhaps they want me to help share the pressure." said Nurgle.

As a superior god, Nurgle could see the Terra fleet, which was still some distance away from the Milky Way. The boundless Tyranid fleet was enough to terrify any civilization and power in the real universe.

"The Imperium of Man cannot withstand such a fleet," said Nurgle.

"Do you look down on humans so much?" Khorne sneered.

"No, I have confidence in the Tyranid Fleet. You and I should understand the true nature of this Tyranid Fleet. They are a force that occupies a galaxy and projects a huge void shadow into the real universe. They are the body that a certain Warp God wants to obtain in the real universe. For mortals, it is invincible." said Nurgle.

As the Lord of Twisted Life, Nurgle's vision is sometimes very vicious. He can vaguely sense what a certain so-called Great Devourer wants to do. To outsiders, the Zerg Fleet is a hound driven by hunger, but Nurgle feels that the essence of the Zerg Fleet may be to accumulate materials for a certain existence to descend into the real universe!

As an evil god of the Warp, his real body cannot descend into the physical universe. Even at certain special times, he can only descend in his incarnation. The ambition of this Great Devourer is so great that even Nurgle dares not imagine it!

"Do you really know humans well?" Khorne asked.

"Of course, although the real universe limits our power, our dimension is higher. It is impossible to hide some things from us forever." Nurgle said confidently.

"You are forgetful. You have forgotten the Lord of Radiance, and you have forgotten that some things have slipped from our sight." Khorne sighed. "You have become conceited, Nurgle."

"Hmm?!" Nurgle frowned. He remembered the existence that upset him. The Lord of Radiance was also capable. He also embarked on the road of sublimation. After the fall of the Eldar, the Lord of Radiance's body also avoided the evil god's rounds of searches and attacks. Of course, the main reason was that the traveler attracted most of the hatred, but it must be said that the Lord of Radiance was also capable of avoiding Vashtor's calculations and targeting, and gaining the recognition of the King of Figures.

Now, Nurgle could see no connection to the Lord of Radiance's fate. If it wasn't the protection of the Gods of Order, then this guy had found a new path and become stronger. At the same time, after being reminded by Khorne, Nurgle was surprised to find that the several Randan moons previously collected by human civilization had disappeared!

Some technological creations have actually blurred the boundaries between mortals and gods. The World Engine is one of them, and the Randan War Moon that was once controlled by the Randan Mastermind is another. These things are super-killer weapons in the physical universe unless the gods take action. Even if a war between gods breaks out, if there are too many of these things, it will still be a problem.

"You mean that humans have the ability to rebuild these things?" asked Nurgle.

"I feel so." Khorne said seriously.

"Haha, so what?!" Nurgle laughed. "The Plague Stars are already connected to my realm and are considered part of it. So, even if the Lord of Radiance returns to his prime, does he still want to fight in my realm?"

Nurgle's idea was simple: with the connection between the Scourge and his own realm, this region was no longer strictly real, allowing the power of the evil god to be unleashed. Within his own realm, was Nurgle afraid of the Radiant Lord's sphere? Of course not!

"So, have you ever thought about what would happen if the Gods of Order wanted to fight a war of gods? The Scourge Stars are the shortcut to enter your realm," Khorne said.

"Haha, now it is also difficult for the Gods of Order to exert their power in the physical universe. If they come from the subspace, it will be a contest between the two divine realms. If they want to fight, they would have done it long ago. Why take the long way around?" Nurgle asked back.

Nurgle believed that the Gods of Order would not directly use the power of their domain to fight. After all, humans were in a good environment now, and there was no need for the Gods of Order to fight with him. Moreover, under his and Tzeentch's manipulation, a large force of Tyranids arrived, and the Gods of Order were busy again, so how could they take care of themselves?

(There is a theory that the Zerg arrived very early, that the Tiamat Zerg arrived in the Milky Way in M35, but did not cause much trouble. This is referring to a large-scale Zerg attack.)

Furthermore, even if the Gods of Order did attack their own domain, they still had Khorne as their leader. Besides, wouldn't the Gods of Order be afraid of Tzeentch stabbing them in the back? There was absolutely no need to take that risk.

"Emmmm." Khorne fell silent for a rare moment after hearing Nurgle's words. This was one of the few times since Khorne had been verbally silenced by Nurgle. But Nurgle did have a point. If the Gods of Order truly wanted to kill them, they could just open their domains and charge! Just like the three of them had hunted Tzeentch.

In reality, while the Chaos Gods fought constantly, they rarely reached the depths of their respective domains, only engaging in a few battles along the outer edges. After all, entering an opponent's domain was inherently disadvantageous, and killing a true God was incredibly difficult.

There seem to be only three recorded battles. One was when Khorne, Nurgle, and Slaanesh blocked Tzeentch's entrance, and another was when Khorne destroyed a section of Slaanesh's Silver Palace, though it was only temporarily destroyed and quickly restored. As for the Emperor directly blocking Nurgle's entrance, it should also be counted as one, after all, he actually reached the gate of Nurgle's Garden.

"Okay, Khorne. Now I just want to control the power of evolution and collect materials. I also want to attract the Tyranid fleet here. As for you, you can also strengthen yourself through war. In this regard, our interests are consistent, and there is no conflict even with the human empire. To the west of the Scourge Stars is Ultramar, the most prosperous place for mankind. The gods of order dare not mess around." Nurgle laughed.
