Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 300 Gabriel: I bet you're more afraid of death than I am.
The subspace energy, so dense it was almost tangible, spread throughout the entire forbidden area of ​​the network in an instant.

This part of Slaanesh's body was used as an anchor point for the link.

The immense power of Slaanesh washed over the web, and under this force, the web that isolated the warp began to crumble.

Almost immediately, a huge gap was corroded in the network.

Light from the bizarre and fantastical world of the subspace shone into this pitch-black forbidden area of ​​the net passage.

As this gap widened, countless Slaanesh demons poured out.

Countless demons began to fight these malevolent entities, while a claw conjured from the power of Slaanesh headed directly toward the passage opened by the Dark Box.

The aura of the evil god caused even these mindless, malicious entities to feel pain.

At this moment, the souls of the countless dead Dark Eldar who were pouring toward Him in the Comoros were Slaanesh’s best compass!
The influx of Eldar souls left Slaanesh wanting more!

Slaanesh's demonic legions blocked the path of more malicious entities, and one after another, Slaanesh archdemons began to charge toward the open gate before them. Slaanesh's ultimate assassin, Shahira the Demon, also emerged from the vast warp energy.

Slaanesh had already set his sights on the Comoros, and Gabriel's actions provided him with the perfect opportunity to invade the Comoros.

He couldn't wait to send his demon army out of that gate and then enjoy his buffet.

Gabriel was also gambling, taking the biggest gamble of his life, but he knew he would win.

These spirits feared death more than he did, and he didn't believe they would dare continue to maintain this bizarre creation.

But the truth is, he made the right bet.

As the terrifying aura of Slaanesh itself was transmitted through the gates of the Dark Casket into the battlefield where Blood Raven and Males were located.

Both Trax and Marles stopped what they were doing.

Both of their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably, as if their hearts were about to stop beating altogether.

Slaanesh's yearning for their souls terrified them to the extreme.

A look of fear appeared on the Bloodlust's face. He saw better than anyone what would happen if the Slaanesh demons inside the gate entered Comoros.

No matter how much he tries to change himself, he is still an Eldar, and his soul is cursed by Slaanesh.

If the Slaanesh demon truly breaks through his secret equipment, he will definitely die! He won't even have a chance to be resurrected.

"Trax! Close the gate! Now!"

Marles screamed at the top of her lungs.

She couldn't believe it. She thought these humans had gone mad. How could these humans possess something capable of summoning Slaanesh? Wasn't Chaos supposed to be humanity's greatest enemy? Was this reasonable? What were your Inquisition and state religion doing?!

You guys aren't some kind of hidden Slaanesh followers, are you?!
Seeing the smug look on Gabriel's face, Males knew that he was certain of her victory.

But she had already lost the moment the bet began.

She would never risk her noble life to perish alongside these lowly monkeys.

Trax tried his best to control his profane body, and he began chanting the incantation again.

As the lifelike blood runes began to surge once more, the doors of the Dark Box slowly began to close, and the Slaanesh demons, seeing this, panicked.

But in the end, it was too late.

Finally, before Slaanesh's power could successfully pass through the gate, the door closed completely.

Slaanesh's roar echoed through the forbidden area of ​​the Webpath. As the Webpath closed again, he was unable to break through the barrier, and an opportunity to enter Comoros and kill a large number of Eldar was lost.

He could only direct his anger at all the creatures within this forbidden land.

The Dark Box was closed, and no more malicious entities came from within. Yet, the roars of the Slaanesh and his demons seemed to still echo within the control room. Everyone stared at the tightly shut door with lingering fear.

"Master! Are you alright?"

At this moment, Gabriel was almost exhausted after enduring a large amount of subspace power; not everyone has the same high magic resistance as Titus.

Jonah watched nervously as Gabriel underwent physical mutations, finally understanding why the Chapter's forefathers had strictly forbidden him from being taken from the vault.

In the past, this level of subspace corruption would have required purification and execution.

However, Jonah knew that if he brought Gabriel back to Lord Highlord, he could purify the Chapter Master's corruption, and the elixir he was about to obtain would solve the problem of his physical mutation.

"I'm fine! Quick! Kill those aliens and take STC!"

Gabriel's consciousness was beginning to fade, but he still managed to stand up.

On the other hand, Marles, having lost the decisive creation of the Dark Box, simply couldn't withstand the incredibly enraged Blood Ravens.

Seeing the Blood Ravens charging forward, Males shouted at Gabriel.

"Monkeys! If you dare to move forward again, I'll destroy this STC, and you'll never get it!!"

She can't have humans, and she can't have them either.

However, the enraged Blood Raven continued its charge, completely ignoring her threat.

In Males's eyes, the swarm of blood crows had lost their minds, bombarding her with explosives without any regard for the STC behind her.

Are these humans really not afraid of accidentally damaging something so important to them?

"Madmen! They're all fucking madmen! Overload the Trax and destroy this STC! We're retreating!"

The two immediately ran towards the secret passage behind them, and under the overload of Trax and the destruction by the remaining troops, the Panacea's STC suffered severe damage.

Marles and Trax, without hesitation, used the remaining soldiers and modified creatures as expendable pawns to cover their own retreat. In the blink of an eye, the two of them had disappeared without a trace.

"Stop chasing! Our mission is the most important!"

Gabriel, with Jonah's help, got up and stopped the Chapter members from giving chase. Revenge could be taken later, but STC had to be taken this time.

After eliminating the last enemy present, Gabriel looked at the severely damaged STC in front of him, but instead of being worried, he laughed.

Damage is never a big deal. In the past, there was no way to repair this STC, but now, as long as part of the main body is still there, the SCV can restore it to its original condition, or even make it look newer than before.

The Dark Eldar's actions even saved them time in dismantling it.

Under the guidance of the technical sergeants within the warband, most of the fragments of the Panacea were collected.

"Tell Lord Gao Yi! The mission is complete!"
-
Meanwhile, Gao Yi had already landed with the troops at the bottom level of the main city of Comoros.

When Slaanesh's power entered Comoros through the Dark Box, it could be said that almost every living being in Comoros sensed the malice emanating from the evil god.

The sudden chaos caused by the Dark Eldar even made Gao Yi's troops advance much more smoothly.

The magical steel nerve plexus attached to the metal box also revealed to Gao Yi that Gabriel had actually opened it.
Just as Gao Yi was asking Gabriel what had happened, he also received news that Blood Raven had succeeded.

"Gabriel is really bold! But it's good that he sent away such a dangerous thing and successfully obtained the elixir of life!"

At least for now, the outcome is good!
Once we get our hands on this thing, not only will the Empire have a strong ability to suppress Nurgle in the future, but it will also play a significant role in the upcoming Baal expedition.

Or perhaps a panacea can cure the Blood Angel's thirst and Black Wrath!
"Have the Blood Ravens move the goods away as soon as possible!"
