Simultaneous Journey: Starting from Holy Terra

"Waaaaah—"

"Boom!"

After the spaceship passed through the atmosphere, what appeared before everyone's eyes was a dark, overwhelming tide of demons and a massive Black Legion rebel army.

Fighter planes from both sides roamed the airspace, dropping shells to bombard the ground in a localized area one moment, and spotting each other the next, beginning an aerial contest.

From the air, one could see Imperial Astral Army soldiers on the ground carrying artillery, moving between trench after trench.

They pressed forward relentlessly, using their frail bodies and outdated weapons to resist and deplete the Black Legion's ammunition, thus creating precious opportunities for the Ultra Warriors in the middle to launch their attack.

As consumable resources within the empire, these flesh-and-blood mortals with their own feelings are nothing more than a string of numbers...

It's not that the empire doesn't care about them; on the contrary, this is why the empire has not been destroyed even after ten thousand years!

These mortals, who fight against demons and even powerful Space Marines with their own flesh and blood, are a vital force second only to the major Gene Chapters.

It is because of their sacrifice that the empire has been able to continue to this day!

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"Hold on at the front! I don't want to hear the casualty figures! I'd rather die the next moment than not take that position!!"

"This is position number 97! We need support, we need... beep—"

"Damn it! Position 97 has fallen! They've failed the Emperor! Let's go! Give me the explosives, you coward!"

"Boom!"

……

The spaceship's hatch opened, and Ye Ming stood at the hatch looking down at the battlefield.

He heard all the sounds below; the soldiers' curses, their passion, their unwavering resolve—all of it was etched into his memory.

"They are the true warriors, the undisputed heroes."

Ye Ming said something, and just as he was about to turn around, a stray bullet flew through the air and hit him right on the forehead.

"Thump."

With a muffled thud, Ye Ming reached up and removed the flattened bullet from his forehead, then turned to look at the enemy fighter jet preparing to take off.

"Whoosh!"

Ye Ming flicked his finger, and the flat bullet was sent flying.

With the added force, the bullet flew at supersonic speed!

"Thump!"

"Boom!"

The bullet struck the enemy aircraft ahead, shattering its engine compartment.

The fighter jet, having lost power, plummeted downwards, exploded in mid-air, and turned into a "spark" that fell to the ground.

"Ahead lies Hera Fortress, where the legendary Primarch, Robert Guilliman, the Lord of the Five Hundred Worlds, slumbers."

"As the vanguard team, our mission objective is to destroy the Demon Champion within and relieve the pressure on our Ultramarines brothers."

"You've all witnessed the brutality of the battle below, and I'm sure you're tired of my sermons. You're all new comrades, and I hope you'll stick close to me so that more of you will survive the final roll call!"

Ye Ming scanned the crowd.

The new Grey Knights, carrying chainsaw swords and holding their Stormblaster rifles, stood ready for battle.

The pastor picked up his scepter, and he swore with his life that his brother, the company commander who was spouting nonsense, had not been corrupted.

Ye Ming's soul is as pure as a child's!

The pharmacist silently shouldered his medicine kit and stood with the technical sergeant who came out of the cockpit.

The think tank director stood at the farthest point. His psychic talent was too strong. Even though Ye Ming was deliberately suppressing the effects of his physique, the think tank director and his brother still felt disgusted and nauseous.

But there's no way around it; "Untouchables" are essentially "soulless" beings, rejected by the Warp and by all beings with souls.

Others who see an "untouchable" will inexplicably dislike him, and may even attack him without any reason!

"Let's go! Let's take down those few guild champions down there!"

Ye Ming put on his helmet, and the Heavenly Punishment Powered Battle Halberd was activated, emitting a captivating, ghostly blue light.

Ye Ming then leaped down and landed directly in the center of the mortal battlefield.

Nineteen new Grey Knight brothers followed suit and jumped down, while the spaceship, piloted by the mechanical servants of the Tech Soldier, moved away from the battlefield and waited for backup in a safe area.

"Thump!"

The moment Ye Ming landed, the spiritual energy inherent in the Heavenly Punishment Power Halberd erupted, and along with the shockwave from his landing, it scattered all the demons and evil god believers around him.

The demon's limbs mingled with the blood and gore of the evil god's followers, spreading outwards like waves.

In the blink of an eye, a huge vacuum zone was cleared in the center of the battlefield.

The gray knights landed, quickly formed ranks, and, with Ye Ming as their spearhead, began to advance towards the black legion.

The vacuum zone that Ye Ming had cleared was instantly filled again by the surging demons and evil god believers!

Those deformed creatures, not belonging to the material world, roared and ran wildly, trying to engulf Ye Ming's team, which had fallen into the center of the battlefield.

But under the volley of fire from the fifteen Grey Knights, none of the demons or cultists charging forward survived for even a second.

Under the Storm Bomb Gun, their only fate is death!

"Gray armor? Which warband is this? I've never seen it before."

"Forget the details! Charge! Keep up with those Astartes!"

"Charge! Charge! Take the position back!"

The mortal warriors of the Astral Army shouted as they followed Ye Ming's squad, waving their flags and roaring.

They showed no fear, nor did they back down.

Even with the powerful Astartes around, they showed no fear, hesitation, or wishful thinking; instead, they became even more courageous and fearless as they charged forward!

Ye Ming led his squad in an attack, landing in the mortal battlefield area not only to relieve the Star Army, but also because there was a hidden Lao Liu in this place!

"Why is the mighty Champion hiding in the corner? Prepare to die!"

Ye Ming leaped high into the air, the dark blue light on his Heavenly Punishment Power Battle Halberd intensifying, like black light in broad daylight, and swiftly pierced towards an inconspicuous "little devil" in the demon horde.

"Sizzle!"

Ye Ming's battle halberd shattered all the surrounding demons, but it failed to strike its intended target.

"A pure-hearted traitor to the emperor, your senses are sharp, but why do you lack spiritual energy? Is it because you can't?"

The "little devil" gave a wicked laugh before revealing its true form.

It wore blue armor with an ugly skull decoration at its waist and two snake-shaped decorations facing left and right on its back. It was not wearing a helmet, revealing its twisted and deformed face.

Most notably, it has two heads!

"The once knowledge-seeking Chiko has now become an ugly monster who only knows how to play petty tricks. Don't you find that pathetic?"

Ye Ming looked at the Chaos Champion Tzeentch who had revealed his true form. He was a lone Thousand Sons, a half-ascended demon who had received Tzeentch's blessing!

Judging from its appearance, it's very likely to become a demon prince soon!

"Heh, how could you who fight for the false emperor possibly understand the greatness of the Lord of All Changes!"

"I have seen you in the plan; you will surely shed your blood and become part of the great plan!"

"I will be the one to begin that grand plan!"

Tzeentch, the Champion of Chaos, drew his sword, and the greatsword, burning with Tzeentch flames, slashed towards Ye Ming.

Ye Ming simply raised his hand to parry the attack, then followed up with a thrust, forcing the Chaos Champion, Treachery, to retreat.

After creating distance, Ye Ming's fighting style changed, becoming more expansive and aggressive, constantly compressing the space for the Chaos Champion to maneuver.

"Jie—"

Tzeentch, the Chaos Champion, roared, unleashing a terrifying psionic shockwave that formed a psionic storm centered on it.

"Go to hell!"
