Warhammer 40 Spring: Loyalty of the Multiverse

Chapter 197 Khorne: I blessed you? I'm impressed!
A sudden explosion drew the attention of everyone present. Costus Salas stared at his two comrades-in-arms, now reduced to half-bodied corpses, his face flushed but also bearing a sinister air.

Tie Hui and the others were delighted; their trap had clearly worked. The only question was how much damage it had inflicted on the enemy.
Costus Salas waved his hand with a grim expression, and a pack of flesh hounds suddenly rushed out from their formation to scout ahead.

Boom boom boom boom boom——

Then came a series of explosions that resounded throughout the area. The explosions were even more powerful in the narrow corridors and cabins, and some of the Chaos Mortal believers who came to transport ammunition were shattered by the shockwaves.

The traps set up by Tie Hui and others were being quickly eliminated, but the casualties of the Flesh Hounds made Costus Salas's breathing become increasingly heavy.

In particular, the butcher's nails attached to his head had begun to buzz.

They followed closely behind these flesh-and-blood hounds, risking their lives to explore the safe path. Meanwhile, countless chaotic mortals were ahead of them, cleaning up the mess left behind by the flesh-and-blood hounds after their mine-clearing efforts.

Its main purpose is to prevent any remaining mines from being detected.

As they were clearing away the traps and booby traps, the faint sounds of gunfire that had been emanating from ahead of them gradually subsided.

At first, Costus Salas thought it was a flesh hound, and had already cornered the other party into a corner where he could not move.

However, as time went on, coupled with his familiarity with the internal structure of the warship...

This made him frown as he looked at the path they had taken and the direction they were heading.

It wasn't until he had traveled a certain distance that the killing urge aroused by the clanging of the Butcher's Nails gradually subsided, and he realized what was happening.

His expression changed drastically, to the point that his ruddy face turned somewhat pale.

"Watch out for ambushes!" Costus Salas had barely finished shouting when he saw a bomb pierce straight through the head of a Chaos Astartes not far behind him.

Without a second thought, he instinctively rolled away to dodge. Just as he managed to dodge, countless explosive bombs flew past him at high speed.

Tie Hui emptied the magazine of his explosive pistol and charged rapidly toward the scene with his right hand holding a power sword with a disintegration field already activated.

The engine behind him unleashed its maximum power, propelling him forward at high speed, about half a meter above the deck.

Meanwhile, the other Astartes, under the cover of their brethren's fire, rapidly advanced, directly mobilizing all the energy of their nanocores to condense a nano shield in front of them.

Costus Salas had already noticed the strange Astartes who was about to rush towards them from around the corner.

And now he was extremely excited, because the moment he saw Namin Astartes, the voice of the Blood God resounded in his mind.

"Offer your skull to the skull seat, sacrifice your blood to the blood god!"

Roaring, he grabbed his weapon and charged at Tie Hui. He felt as if he were divinely aided, as if he had received the blessing of the Blood God.

For some reason, he even had the illusion that he could challenge the emperor. The Butcher's Nail above his head was operating at full power, and he could even see the electricity emanating from it from time to time.

But he felt no pain from the Butcher's Nail; he felt he had inexhaustible strength.

boom--

But the moment they made contact, he fell silent. The immense force sent him staggering back several steps.

Before he could regain his footing, several unidentified longswords flew through the air and pierced the gaps in his breastplate and abdominal armor.

The intense pain and the excruciating agony of the straight knife churning inside his chest momentarily stunned him. Then he witnessed a scene he would never forget!
The muzzle of the plasma pistol glowed blue, and then his consciousness went black.

Tie Hui slowly lowered the arm that had been holding the plasma pistol. He stared blankly at the unknown, burly man lying on the ground, half his head missing and still steaming.

When this guy saw him, his excitement and fanaticism made him think that this guy was a Slaanesh, and a high-drug type at that.

Who would have thought it was all show and no substance!
He was taken down with just a few combos, what a waste of his size.

He instinctively wanted to spit, but then realized he was still wearing his helmet. He could only reluctantly stop himself from spitting and turn to attack the Chaos Astartes that were fighting back.

In the warp, Khorne, sitting on his bronze throne, had a constipated expression on his face.

He blessed me... but for some reason, I felt as if I hadn't blessed him.

After all, it was resolved in just a few moves, which would be too embarrassing for him to admit, especially since it was done under the blessing of the gods!
Taking a deep breath, he could only silently suppress the matter of his blessing in his heart, vowing never to tell anyone from now on.

Meanwhile, in the subspace, another red pentagram, which was enveloping an object, peeked out and danced merrily.

For some reason, Tie Hui suddenly felt that the five-pointed star in the center of the power armor on his chest was emitting a slow heat.

Moreover, the heat flowed into his body through the power armor, slowly spreading throughout his body, and for a moment it actually dispelled the slight fatigue he had felt from the recent battle.

He pierced the head of a Chaos Astartes with a sword, then kicked him away.

Tie Hui, bewildered, briefly examined the red pentagram on his chest. After zooming in on the interior of the nano-armor, he was surprised to see golden flames inside the red pentagram, seemingly alive and flickering.

"The Emperor's blessing?" he muttered in disbelief, but just then a gladiator champion rushed over with a chainsaw axe.

Tie Hui quickly regained his senses and dodged the attack by sidestepping. A nano shield condensed in front of him, and the nano blade instantly pierced through his head.

Holding a bomb gun in one hand, he raised it and fired a shot at the head that had already been riddled with spikes.

Brain matter and blood splattered all over his face, which made him forget about his investigation of the red five-pointed star.

After all, they were on the battlefield, and he couldn't afford to be distracted or careless.

With that thought in mind, he picked up his power sword again and joined the fray on the battlefield.

The killing ended quickly. The Astartes equipped with a nano-core was able to take on two opponents at once, even in this complex corridor environment, and was not at a disadvantage.

"We're done here!" Tie Hui opened his communicator and reported the team's current status to the Terminators who were clearing away the Chaos threat in various cabins and corridors.

"Roger that, sir. We are now heading to the engine room of this warship in preparation for crippling it!"

"Alright! Let's go to the command center! Then we'll sweep from both ends towards the center!"

"Yes! Your lord!"

The task was briefly assigned, and then everyone set off again towards their respective objectives.
