Warhammer 30k and the Great Tomb of Nazarick

Chapter 147: Night Holder

Ryan Johnson, who was leading the way, relied on the indestructible properties of the Emperor's Blade to make their boarding team move in an almost straight line.

If you encounter an enemy, kill him; if you encounter a wall, smash it; if there is no way forward, blow up the floor and move forward.

But the World Engine was still too big. Even after Warmaster Lion Johnson exerted his might inside it for two hours, he was unable to cause much substantial damage to this megastructure.

In order to improve efficiency, Warmaster Ryan Johnson had to disperse his troops, dividing the Deathwing and the Imperial Guards into five teams and launching an attack at the same time.

During the allocation and selection of the team, two warriors who had been following the Warmaster, who were much taller than ordinary Deathwing Space Marines, made a lot of suggestions, which the Warmaster adopted most of.

You have to know that the Space Marines wearing Terminator power armor are as tall as giants, but the Terminator armor on those two warriors looks particularly heavy. When fully armed, they are almost as tall as the Primarchs of the First Legion.

The real identities of these two people are not Space Marines, but Iron Men who surrendered to the Human Empire. They put on the shell of the Ultimate Armor to pretend to be Deathwing just for the sake of courtesy.

Iron Man, a hateful intelligence, is an absolute taboo in the human empire. Of course, the empire also has a very flexible moral bottom line.

Although iron men are absolutely taboo, some of them are still willing to serve humanity and are really useful. Destroying them would not only cost a huge price but would also be a waste.

So since iron man is an absolute taboo, why not just not let others know that this is an iron man?

As the first legion of the Space Marines that was first established and had many little secrets, the Dark Angels were naturally entrusted with the important task of guarding these iron men.

The possession of abominable intelligence was a secret known only to the inner circle of the Dark Angels.

However, all the Deathwing are members of the Inner Circle, and the Custodes, as the Emperor's personal army, naturally know the secret weapon of the Dark Angels. In fact, the Custodes' secret arsenal is even more insane than that of the Dark Angels. When the Emperor appointed Llane Johnson as Warmaster, some of the secret weapons sent by the Emperor seemed extreme to him.

The two Iron Men that the War Marshal brought this time are both combat models with strong combat capabilities, and they also serve as the War Marshal's personal bodyguards.

"050, which way should we go?"

Of course, Warmaster Lion Johnson did not trust these iron men, he just used their abilities, just like he did to many people.

"According to calculations, this route ahead is most likely to approach a high-value Necrons target."

The Iron Man called 050 projected a route map. In an instant, the Warmaster judged the value of this map. He nodded, accepted the Iron Man's suggestion, and directly led the remaining Deathwing warriors to the next target.

In the 30k era when the human empire was still at its peak, the Deathwing warriors were not painted in the bone white of later generations, but jet black, with the logo of crossed swords with wings, which was very handsome.

After the Heresy, the Deathwing's symbol changed from a pair of swords to a broken sword, just like the blow their human empire suffered.

The event that caused the Deathwing to change their paint to bone white actually happened after the arrival of the Tyranids. It was first adopted by a team of Deathwing Terminators when they were exterminating the Tyranid Genestealers. Later, it gradually became the standard color of the Deathwing.

In this timeline, it seems that none of this will happen.

In the 30k era, the First Legion could afford to replace the entire First Company of Deathwing with Iron Cavalry and Hades Terminators, so even if there were only 40 warriors left around the Lion King, these veterans would be enough to destroy an ordinary regiment in an instant in the k era.

Each of the divided forces has the combat capability to directly destroy a war group from the 40k era.

This division of forces did not affect the Warmaster's destructive efficiency inside the world engine, but just as the Lion King continued to destroy everything along the way, he suddenly fell into a strange illusion.

It was a time older than the ancient times. In that space filled with only the gradually cooling primordial dust, a will was awakening.

When Ryan Johnson saw that thing, he knew its name and understood its nature.

It was born from the earliest will in this world, the pinnacle of the physical universe, the embodiment of death, the killer of stars and worlds, the devourer of gods, and his name is Azagorod the Nightbringer.

When Lion Jonson learned of the Nightbringer, he saw the death of this world and countless other worlds.

The Nightbringer wielded his scythe and harvested galaxy after galaxy.

He heard the cries of countless intelligent beings as they were dying.

He smelled enough blood to fill an ocean. He tasted the pain of countless souls.

Then the Lion King laughed.

"That's it?"

"Ants!!!"

The illusion in front of him disappeared, and a giant wearing a black cloak like the legendary god of death appeared in front of the lion king. He was very angry, and raised his palm to slap the lion king with a roar, as if he was going to swat a fly to death.

His body was so huge that it exceeded the limit of vision. Even the Primarch's eyesight could not measure the size of this figure, and the hand of this figure was constantly growing larger in the Lion King's field of vision.

The downward-pressing bony hand obscured the entire sky, but as it got closer, the Lion King was able to estimate the size of this thing, which was roughly equivalent to two Queen of Glory-class battleships.

The Lion King neither parried nor dodged the Nightbringer's attack. He just smiled contemptuously and clenched the Emperor's Sword in his hand.

He could feel the Emperor's Sword trembling slightly, and joy and desire were being transmitted to the Lion King's heart through the sword.

Lion Jonson raised his sword
The Lion King raised the weapon of destruction
The Warmaster unleashed the might of the Emperor
After a brief battle, the Nightbringer's phantom was mostly shattered, and a voice full of surprise and confusion came from the black robe that covered his entire face.

"Void Dragon?!"

"hehe."

"You! Why do you... have fragments of the Void Dragon?"

"you guess."

Among the large amount of forbidden knowledge given by the Emperor, there is the part about Star Gods. The Lion King certainly knows what Star Gods like Void Dragons and Nightbringers are, or rather, they are nothing.

These earthly gods, born in the physical universe, feed on the energy of stars and also like to eat the souls of intelligent life. There is no need, but they just like to do so.

These were a bunch of bastards who were no better than the Four Gods of Subspace. Although he didn't know why he was captured by the Night Embraceer and taken into the illusion in the first place, the Lion King had no intention of cooperating with such things.

"..."

The Nightbringer was silent for a moment, then he gritted his teeth and said

"Listen, I am the Eternal God Nightbringer. I want to make a deal with you. I can teach you how to destroy this huge world engine. In return, I only need you to unlock a seal."

"But it seems that we can destroy this world engine without cooperating with you, so why should we help you?"

"Insanity!"

"So what! I am the commander personally appointed by the Emperor. How dare a mere false god act so presumptuously!"

The Nightbringer paused again. In his long life, few people dared to speak to him like this.

"You will regret this."

There was a silence for a while before the Night Embraceer finally uttered these words. Then His phantom disappeared and the Lion King found himself still in the same place as before. Only a moment had passed.

But the sharp-eyed Deathwing veterans still discovered the abnormality of the Lion King. They immediately surrounded the Lion King and guarded their own Primarch.

The Lion King showed a smile that seemed to show he was ready to devour his prey, and gently stroked the Emperor's Sword in his hand.

"I told you I don't need your help. Look, now I have a goal."

The fragment of the star god called Nightbringer must be inside this world engine, and it is undoubtedly an important facility of this world engine. Now the Sword of the Emperor is guiding them, leading them to find the fallen star god.
