Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 476: Sacrifice and Escape (Please Subscribe)

Leman Russ was suddenly blown backwards by the heavy blow of the World Breaker, like a super heavy tank shell, and deeply penetrated into the bulkhead of the battleship Spirit of Vengeance.

He was stunned by Horus's sudden repetition and sudden attack. The heavy blow from the World Breaker broke several of his bones. In addition, his shoulder and arm were pierced by Horus' claws. The Wolf King's condition had deteriorated to a critical point.

But the Primarchs are Primarchs after all, and the speed at which their brains think is unimaginable to mortals.

"My hesitation caused me to fail."

The Wolf King felt a chill in his heart. He originally thought that he would have more time to help Horus break free from the control of the Warp, but he did not expect that the opportunity would only be so short.

No, perhaps he had no chance at all, because as soon as the Spear of Dionysus left Horus' body, the power of Chaos would instantly take back his body.

And under this repeated torture, can the kind soul fragment of Horus continue to hold on?
A terrifying thought already occurred to him, but he did not dare to admit the truth of the thought.

Ruth hated his own indecision. Why did he become soft-hearted when he shouldn't have hesitated?
He struggled to his feet from the wreckage of metal, and Horus was walking towards him.

Horus' painful expression disappeared, transformed into a look of pride at the impending victory. He took a deep breath, the wound on his side was healing rapidly, the Emperor's power was expelled by the power of the Warp, and even the cracks in the power armor were healed.

"You only have one chance, Riemann."

"It's a pity that you missed it, but I will never give you another chance."

The Claws of Horus in the Warmaster's hands lit up one by one, a sign of the charging of Chaos power. Those terrifying claws pointed directly at his extremely weak brother.

Horus did not roar loudly, but his voice continued to echo like a tsunami, and it was as if the whispers and screams of countless tormented souls continued to overlap.

It was as if the warmaster in front of him was no longer a mortal, but a silhouette of some larger, indescribable existence.

Under the impact of Horus's sonic waves, the Space Wolves fell to their knees with their heads in their hands in agony. Under the influence of the bottomless psychic frenzy, their heads and brains were almost boiling.

Leman Russ struggled to get up, holding the Spear of Dionysus tightly with his intact arm. Despair surged in his heart, but reason told him that Horus was right.

After a bloody battle, the power emanating from Horus seemed to be even stronger, and the resistance within him seemed to have completely disappeared, and the Chaos Gods were able to bestow more power and blessings on Their Chosen Ones.

The voice of Horus seemed to have transcended the constraints of time and space, and began to spread along the timeline, arriving in a wider dimensional world.

He speaks in the present moment, and also in past and future timelines.

"There are countless universes destroyed by the fire of chaos, and your universe will only be the next one. No existence can defeat the warp, because chaos is the end of all things. You cannot fight against an inevitable ending."

"Since you would rather die than accept my power and invitation, and your narrow vision simply cannot see the glory brought by the power of chaos, then I will do as you wish—"

"Please die, you are the first, and then your father will die at my hands."

Horus disappeared on the spot, and even Leman Russ could not see the Warmaster's movements clearly. The next moment, a huge black shadow had enveloped the Wolf King.

The fully activated Claw of Horus not only contains the sharpness of decomposing the stance, but also is mixed with the powerful primordial force of the Warp.

The Warmaster vented his anger on the remains of Russ, and the claws of Horus repeatedly pulled out the wolf king's internal organs, tore his muscles, and broke his bones.

A large amount of blood and flesh was cut off. The great wolf king was like livestock under the butcher's knife, being slaughtered in an extremely cruel way.

As if he was tired of playing, Horus threw his brother heavily out, then picked up the World Breaker that could truly kill him, and rushed forward with huge and heavy steps.

With the blessing of the power of the warp, Horus' figure seemed to be infinitely elevated, turning into a more noble and powerful existence.

Even a lesser god of the Warp like Vashtor was like an ant in front of Horus at this moment.

"What a pity, what a pity, Russ, you are not a decisive person at all. You have too many emotions and thoughts hidden in your heart, which is why you were confused and hesitant after hearing my voice."

Horus commented slowly. In his eyes, the Wolf King had become a prey to be slaughtered and no longer had the strength to resist.

"But why do you have sympathy and hesitation towards me, but are so cruel to Magnus? Why is that?" "If you had truly killed me, perhaps my father wouldn't have to suffer on the Golden Throne, and humanity wouldn't have to endure the torment of war. The war I started would also have been quelled because it was leaderless."

Listening to Horus's eloquent talk about the ending, the Wolf King's regret surged like a tide.

"I have decided to grant you mercy. A quick and clean death is a good ending, at least better than watching me kill your father and take out his heart."

"Of course, I don't know if the gods will share your soul. The soul of a great Primarch will be fought over by even the Chaos Gods."

The Wolf King wanted to resist, but he was too badly injured. At least one of his lungs had been pierced and damaged, and even his heart was shattered and disintegrated under the heavy blow of the World Breaker.

His power armor was also damaged. The opponent's unreasonable psychic destruction distorted the physical properties of the armor, making it extremely weak.

Leman Russ's body had deteriorated to the extreme, his internal organs mixed with bone fragments. Even if Horus hadn't finished him off, he would probably have died from his serious injuries.

Horus approached his prey, but a Space Wolf rushed up with all his might and smashed himself into a pool of meat on the World Breaker. The turbulent decomposition field easily shattered his body and crushed his soul.

The wolf king recognized that it was one of his battle-hardened wolf lords, and he was already dead.

Even as his offspring's blood splattered on his face, Russ could still feel the warmth of his son's blood.

Next came the second Space Wolf, who tried to chop Horus' arm with his Power Axe, but was easily pierced through the chest by the Claw of Horus. The Chaos artifact instantly drained the warrior's flesh and soul.

The third, the fourth... all the Space Wolves went crazy. They abandoned their opponents and rushed towards Horus with a fearless and crazy attitude, hoping to get a glimmer of life for their gene-father.

The young Wolf Guard Bjorn tried to carry the remains of the Gene-Father and escape. Their Thunderhawk gunships were waiting in the rear. The Space Wolves never forgot to keep a route for evacuation.

But the Horus now, even Leman Russ is no match for him, let alone these mortal Astartes.

Countless elite Space Wolves fought one after another, but died in vain at the hands of the Warmaster, and he could do it with just a flick of his finger.

"Thank me for my mercy. At least I reunited you and your son."

"Look at these poor little ones. It breaks my heart to see them like this."

Horus laughed, his humanity completely gone.

The Space Wolves were like moths to a flame. Their death was extremely heroic, but it was difficult to delay the Warmaster for even a second.

Bjorn pulled out his bolter and fired continuously at Horus, but those powerful bombs couldn't even penetrate the Warmaster's psychic barrier.

He had used up all his ammunition, and the muzzle of his gun was red with smoke rising from it. He had reached his limit.

More and more Space Wolves came from behind. They used their flesh and blood to stand between their father and the Warmaster, forming a line of defense of flesh and blood.

Bjorn was also in despair, but he would never give up. Even if he died, he would rather die in front of the Wolf King.

Just as hundreds of Space Wolves died heroically, the Spirit of Vengeance suddenly shook violently, and countless white scars painted with white and golden lightning poured into the battlefield.

They did not attack as Space Marines, but each of them piloted Tengu mechas and suppressed the enemy with their mobility advantages in speed and firepower.

At the same time, some of the White Scars rode the Tengu and threw out a dozen magnetic grappling hooks to carry away the dying Space Wolves.

Chagatai Khan turned into a lightning whirlwind and took Bjorn and Leman Russ away from the battlefield. He had no intention of fighting anymore.

Russ had fainted, his body covered in blood, as if he had been severely ravaged by an Emperor-class Titan.

Horus tore a Space Wolf apart in anger, but countless wolves were rushing towards him at the risk of their lives. Countless moments combined to form the time for his escape. He could only watch Chagatai Khan take away Leman Russ, who was already his prey.
