Eternal Night

Chapter 428 The beginning of the big melee!
Grand Inquisitor Anris Gus had a tired look on his face. He was already three hundred years old and had already surpassed the limit of mortal lifespan. He barely survived by relying on various life-extending technologies, but his limit was approaching, unless he was willing to transform himself into a mechanical body. But then he would no longer maintain the pure characteristics of a human being, so he would not do that. After all, he did not believe in the God of All Machines, not the Messiah of Ohm, but the Emperor, and he was eager to die as a pure human being.

But he can't die yet!
No matter in what sense, he cannot die!

He maintains the fragile balance of the three star sectors. Those worlds that would be burned to death or destroyed by radical inquisitors are retained after his review. He coordinates the connections between the six Space Marine sub-groups and provides the basis for their existence. He acts as a guarantor for the thirteen forge worlds to exchange their goods and materials, and there are countless more hive cities, agricultural worlds, temple worlds, shrine worlds... he maintains the balance of all of this.

There were rumors about him within the Inquisition, but as a High Inquisitor with outstanding merit, as a legendary figure who had served the Emperor for three hundred years, as someone who had repelled Chaos, killed countless Chaos Cultists, exiled countless demons, and even personally reversed at least three conspiracies of the evil god, exiled no less than a dozen demons, this was enough to guarantee the Inquisition's trust in him.

Knowing the nature of the high-ranking officials of the Human Empire and the bureaucratic style within the Inquisition well, he was even more aware of one thing: he could not die. He could not die before his disciples grew up and were qualified to become Grand Inquisitors. Otherwise, trillions of humans in these three star regions would experience a catastrophe.

So now Anris Gus hates any accidents, because accidents mean that he might risk his life to do one or several things.

However, the arrival of accidents was not subject to his will. For example, when there had been no accidents or wars for about half a year, and Andres Gus thought that this year was a rare good year, his disciple, Caesia, who he had high hopes for and was worthy of inheriting his mantle, sent him multiple urgent messages in succession. The contents were so unorthodox that he wanted to use a plasma pistol to cleanse Caesia's brain.

What conspiracy of the four evil gods? What possible co-election of the four gods with three signs? What living saint? What Carlos Fateweaver was captured? What demon primarch was captured? What... what what what! !
If Anris Gus had not been very sure of the special nature of Caesia, the type that could be killed and captured by demons but almost impossible to be corrupted out of thin air, he would have even thought that this was another conspiracy by demons to corrupt or kill him. However, he still planned to go there in person with a fleet and an army, even if it was just to clean up the mess for his disciple.

But while he was organizing the army, things changed again and again.

First, several Sisters' Chapters contacted him, and at least three Archsister-level Ecclesiarchal armed forces wanted to join his expedition. Before that, he had not even revealed to the outside world that he was going to do anything. These Sisters' Chapters all came out of nowhere.

Before Anris Gus could decide whether to ask these elder sisters why they wanted to join his team and why they were sure that he was going to go on an "expedition", two Titan orders also came to him. They didn't want anything, and had no preconditions. They told Anris Gus bluntly that he could use their power at will, a total of ten War Dog-class Titans, five Plunder-class Titans, and one powerful, invincible Warlord-class Titan. This force was already huge enough to determine the direction of a sector-level battle.

As the Grand Inquisitor, Anris Gus has cooperated with the Titan Order many times during his three hundred years of service, using these behemoths known as God's Machines. No matter whether it was to expel the Great Demon or to eliminate the chaotic forces in a star region, he paid a huge price every time to activate these God's Machines, whether it was in terms of connections, commitments, or material things.

Even so, he never used more than five Titans in any one campaign.

Titan, known as the God's Machine, is the pinnacle masterpiece of the technological power of the human empire, no, of the entire material universe. It is divided into levels, generally divided into war dog class, plunderer class, warlord class, and the legendary emperor class.

Even the smallest Warhound-class Titan is fifteen to eighteen meters tall, equipped with battleship-level weapons, such as plasma blasters, etc., and equipped with high-power void shields. Both the attack and defense sides are almost extreme. Once it steps onto the battlefield, it is an armed force that can directly end a small battle, but in the Titan series, it is a reconnaissance-class machine.

The Plunderer-class Titans are 25 to 30 meters tall, with more powerful weapons and void shields. Then there are the Warlord-class Titans that are nearly 40 meters tall, and the legendary Emperor-class Titans that are over 50 meters tall...

This is the empire’s treasure and the last trump card that will hardly be easily used in a war!
But before he went into battle, two Titan Orders came knocking on his door, which directly shocked Anris Gus.

Then followed by more than ten Space Marine sub-regiments, the smallest of which had about two hundred people, and the largest had more than a thousand. They all arrived including their chapter masters and their main flagships, and activated their best equipment, whether it was the inherited relic-level power armor, power swords, or masterwork-level power hammers, bolters, and even the dreadnoughts that were never used lightly. They were all awakened, as if they were ready to fight the final battle directly, and all declared that they would join Anris Gus' expedition.

Anris Gus was completely numb.

Putting aside the mortal troops that had not yet assembled, such as the Astra Militarum, this lineup made him think that the place he was about to arrive at was the Eye of Terror!

The most crucial thing is that the Hall of Astronomy keeps sending information that the Shrine Worlds in various parts of the three major star sectors are issuing calls for holy war, more than 50 million Jihad militia troops are gathering, and more than ten Forge Worlds have announced that they have received divine revelations from Om Messiah. Their Mechanicus Skitarii are being formed, and space armed forces of more than one hundred destroyers, cruisers, and battleships are beginning to gather. At the same time, in the wider areas outside the three star sectors, more Space Marine Sub-Rigids, more Sisters’ Troops, more Titan Adepts, Mechanicus Skitarii, Shrine World Crusades, and even various Hive Cities and various Astra Militarums are rushing towards him.

This plunged Anris Gus into absolute silence.

Those who know him know that he did nothing, but those who don't know him must think that he is going to attack the Eye of Terror, or attack the solar system in reverse to eliminate the evil, right? ?
Andres Gus did not dare to delay any longer, even though the mortal troops he was going to summon had not arrived yet. He still immediately set off with a fleet of more than 30 warships, not daring to be negligent at all.

He questioned all the leaders of the Sisters' troops who had arrived, the Mechanicus members of the Titan Order, and the think tanks of the Space Marine Chapters, and he got only one answer.

Emperor’s divine revelation!

Moreover, the divine revelation was given with an unprecedentedly severe attitude and anxious emotion. Even the most dull-witted recipient could sense the absolute seriousness of this incident.

When entering the warp, Anris Gus looked at the last message his apprentice passed to him, carefully reading every word of the secret letter, and then his vision passed over what he thought was the focus, the three demon primarchs, and looked at the description of the human with three signs. "...Is it from the 21st century, or the immortals before the 21st century?"

"…comparable to the Emperor, able to isolate the corruption of the Warp, and even its unique cleansing corruption, including the corruption of the Daemon Primarch?"

"… His real strength is unfathomable, but his 'psychic power'? He has been making all the beings around him feel that he is weak? Is it to conceal his own strength? Or is it to lure the beings in the subspace into taking the bait?"

"...with the moral values ​​of the 21st century, too kind, too soft-hearted, too indecisive, but from this perspective, it is full of humanity? Humanity with strength?"

"...considering oneself a human being, and having firm human thoughts, while also believing firmly in...materialism? What is that? Belief in the God of All Machines?"

The more Andres Gus looked, the more confused he became, but the desire that had long been hidden in his heart became stronger.

Where there is a teacher, there must be a disciple.

The Grand Inquisitor Anris Gus also has a desire in his heart that he never dares to tell anyone...

in case……

If the Emperor could still walk the earth, if human society could regain its rationality, if...

Then the fleet entered the warp, and as soon as it entered the warp, a torrent of chaos swept the fleet forward.

This was not an encounter with a warp storm, nor was it a battle with demons, but a golden torrent that erupted from an enormous and cold sun, carrying the fleet forward madly.

There were even powerful think tanks who noticed that in the same subspace torrent, there were several other fleets heading towards the same target.

Then, before many people could even come to their senses, their fleet broke through the Warp and returned to the material universe. Then they saw with their own eyes a fleet with a familiar livery that many Imperial soldiers and high-ranking officials were familiar with, just breaking into the Warp in the void not far from them. At the same time, there were also ships that were obviously on the Chaos side that collided out of the Warp.

"Just now... was that the fleet of the Black Legion!?"

"Yes, we can confirm it from the paint, the ship, and even the aura!"

"Then why did they leave? Chaos' conspiracy!?"

"I don't know, and I won't care about it. I only know..."

"It's time to go on a killing spree!"

At many locations in the Mandeville Point of the star system (a safe zone in the galaxy that appears when returning to the material universe from the warp), warships from the human empire constantly emerged from the warp. There were the Imperial Navy, the Mechanicus Skitarii, the Space Marines, the Sisters Fleet, and the Mortal Crusade Fleet...

At the same time, many places also eagerly spewed out a large number of Chaos-side ships from the Warp, including Chaos warbands that defected to Khorne, Chaos cultists that defected to Tzeentch, virus ships that defected to Nurgle, various "artwork" ships that defected to Slaanesh, and more Chaos-side mortal traitors, Mechanicus traitors, Space Marine traitors, various mutants, aberrations, monsters...

Thousands of warships began a frantic bombardment in this star area, fighting and marching towards the target planet. The brilliance of the battle, the aftermath of the explosion, and the wildly flashing psychic light could even be seen with the naked eye on the surface of the dead planet in the distance.

At this time, Wu Xianxiao was already chopping down the third of the Four God Demons. At the same time, more airdrop pods fell densely from outer space. There were both Imperial Space Marines and Chaos Space Marines from the Chaos side. They became excited when they met, and then started killing each other.

Warhammer Daily 2...The big melee begins!
