The best of all the Astartes had come together, and the only thing left for them was a fight to the death.
Angertai was the most peaceful of the four. In his hand he still held the guard spear seized from the imperial guards, while the other half of his body had transformed into a hideous and terrifying demon body.
The possessed demon Kam released his power, stretching Angertai towards a higher dimension.
"Just like we did on the Conqueror, but you had Bloodspitter Davarus by your side."
Ingertelle began to reminisce about the past, while Kahn stood beside him. The two seemed to form a harmonious whole, with Ingertelle as the main figure and Kahn as the auxiliary.
"Sigismund," Kahn called out.
The Black Knight did not respond at all. He just stood there and raised the black sword in his hand.
Angertai felt a little disappointed, as he had originally thought he could have a talk with the other party.
Since exiling his failed father, Angertai has become the Lord of the Word Bearers. He deeply reflected on the ins and outs of the rebellion started by Horus, and finally came to a conclusion:
Horus is bound to fail. Chaos cannot completely defeat humanity, and humanity cannot completely expel Chaos.
The two sides will inevitably fight each other, but they cannot be separated.
So if that's the case, why are they still shedding blood here?
Angleta is going to do something that is not recognized. He wants to achieve a balance between humans and chaos, just like him and his demon brother Kam.
But before they could sit down and talk, they had to survive the siege from Sigismund and Sevastata.
Sigismund suddenly increased his speed, and Kahn also roared in anger.
Sevatar's chainsaw halberd and Angertai's guard spear collided with each other, splashing dazzling sparks.
The loud battle cry freed everyone from their restraints, and the Astartes from the four legions fought desperately for each other's goals and beliefs.
"My brother, why have you become what you are now?"
"Why, why is this happening?"
When Kahn charged with Blood Father and Blood Son in his hands, but was once again blocked by Sigismund's black sword, this rare warrior in the Eighth Legion who could withstand the torture of the Butcher's Nails asked in confusion.
Kahn's height without armor was over three meters and a half, and the butcher's nails arranged like cables on his head were buzzing, urging him to launch a more ferocious attack.
Over the years, Kharn has already become the de facto controller of the World Eaters Legion, and Angron's situation after ascending to demon status is even worse than before.
He needs a constant supply of blood sacrifices to stay in the real universe, and it is unrealistic to expect the demon primarch to give orders.
Kahn is the only choice. He has to endure the pain of the Butcher's Nails while fighting against the whispers of the evil god that keep ringing in his mind.
He wanted Kahn to let go of all restraints, to enjoy the pleasure of slaughter and bloodshed, to let anger dominate him, and to make the battle eternal.
He promised to grant Kahn the greatest power, allowing him to transform from a mortal body into a more advanced being.
However, after witnessing Angron's tragic condition, Kahn became extremely wary of the existence called the Blood God.
His best friend Angerte was paying close attention to Kahn's changes. He repeatedly warned Kahn not to believe the lies of the dark gods, as their promises were all false.
If you want eternal life, the loving father will grant you immortality of decay; if you want revenge, the blood god will grant you endless killing.
The most typical person favored by the Bronze Throne is to become a mindless killing machine like Angron. Such a price is too heavy for a person with self-thinking.
Even if you have unparalleled power, what is the point when you become a madman without any reason?
Therefore, Angortai helps his brother calm down every day. As the first individual with perfect fusion of human and demon, Angortai's understanding of the warp can even rival that of Lorgar.
At the same time, the true words left by the Great Speaker also found a whole new use in his hands.
"The Book of Lorgar" explains the Great Speakers' understanding and use of the Warp. Anyone who studies this book can greatly improve their control over the Warp, including different sacrificial rituals, the habits of different Warp creatures, and the likes and dislikes of different Chaos Powers.
However, after Angertai obtained the complete "Book of Lorgar", he did the opposite. He used the power of the Warp at his disposal to help Kahn strengthen his resistance to the Warp, and recited mantras for him every day to block the whispers from the Blood God.
Without Angertai's help, no matter how strong Kahn's will was, sooner or later he would cross the line in endless whispers and become a follower of the Blood God.
The subtle influence of the Blood God's power on Kahn in the past has never disappeared. Kahn's strength is far greater than his past self in Amatra. If he were to duel with the Ultramarines Swordmaster Cassandra Orfeo again, Kahn would surely win in the end.
What is even more extraordinary is that while possessing power, Kahn's consciousness remains calm and clear.
This is the most terrifying thing, but even so, Kahn in his strongest state was still unreasonably beaten back by Sigismund again and again.
Kahn didn't understand how Sigismund did it. He was able to restrain the rage of the Blood God under his own will. And what about the Black Knight, what power did he rely on?
He could feel that the other person was even more broken and empty than he was, as if he had reached a state of selflessness and was able to fully bear a force from a higher dimension.
So, that is the power of the Emperor?
No one could tell Kahn, but he just charged towards Sigismund again and again regardless of his injuries. He hoped that this fierce war would remind his old friend of the memories of the fight in the duel pit.
On this point, Sevatar and Kahn actually thought of the same thing. They both wanted to transform Sigismund from a cold-blooded weapon back into the flesh-and-blood warrior he once was.
"Wrath, Sigismund, come alive!"
"Kill me, take revenge on me, chop off my head!!"
Khârn's twin chainsaw axes struck with unrivaled force, and even a casual swing was enough to shred even the most elite World Eaters or Templars.
He did not hold back at all, and each of his attacks went straight to Sigismund's vital parts. Facing such a terrifying black knight, any carelessness or slackness would be courting death.
There was only pure close combat between the two, using sharp swords against heavy axes, and fists against fists.
The Emperor Champion's sword flashed by so quickly that Kahn couldn't even see the other party's sword swinging movements. He was like a ghost, and the axe could only kill living things, but could only pass through ghosts.
Kahn's consecutive slashes missed many times, and he didn't even touch Sigismund's armor. His skills were completely suppressed.
The battle-hardened Kahn was as clumsy as a rookie in front of Sigismund. The champion's black sword could accurately block the heavy blows of the chainsaw axe every time. The crisp sound of the swords colliding with each other proved that the battle had never stopped.
The loud sound of metal clashing echoed throughout the battlefield, stirring everyone's soul and inspiring them to attack the enemy.
The black sword pierced Kahn's body at the most tricky angle, cutting his force joints in order to weaken Kahn's attack in the most efficient way.
The Butcher's Nails in Kahn's head were becoming active due to the intense battle and anger, which almost caused him to break through the mental defenses set up by Angertai and reach the brink of losing control.
Kahn's speed was increasing, his flesh and blood were frantically regenerating themselves to make up for the horrific injuries left by Sigismund.
The battlefield where the two sides fought fiercely was completely destroyed, with collapsed debris everywhere. This did not look like the damage caused by two Astartes, but rather the result of the divine machines fighting each other.
Kahn and Sigismund kept colliding, destroying any obstacles like a walking disaster on the battlefield. Even Angerte and Sevatar could not intervene in the fight between the two.
Kahn was chopped back repeatedly by the furious swordsman. He slammed into a scrapped armored vehicle, and his armor sank deeply into the metal wreckage.
With all his muscles exerting force, Kahn grabbed the upper turret of the destroyed Leman Russ tank, tore it off, and threw it towards the black-armored monster in front of him.
Sigismund used his sword to split the turret that was attacking at the speed of sound. The wreckage of the war vehicle made of ceramic steel and adamantium could not even stop the Emperor's champion for a moment.
Kahn saw countless phantoms in Sigismund. The final outcome of those warriors who believed in the Emperor was to become as unyielding, fanatical, and never-giving-up as he was.
"What the hell, I, a guy who betrayed the empire, still have my own thoughts and likes and dislikes, but Sigismund is so broken and empty."
Kahn cursed and tried to block, but Sigismund cut the tendon in his left hand again, causing one of his arms to hang limply at his side.
Hot blood flowed down Kahn's arms, and a large amount of sweat gushed out, blurring his vision.
The World Eater was ultimately unable to defeat the Emperor's Champion; his opponent was too perfect, without any compromise or mercy.
His heart only beats for swinging the sword and fighting. The seemingly easy blade carries an empty weight and unstoppable speed.
He knew very well that even if he was now completely dominated by the power of the Blood God, he would not be able to defeat the Emperor Champion in front of him.
Sigismund has become a monster even more monstrous than himself, and perhaps only the Daemon Primarch Angron himself could defeat him through sheer crushing force.
Just as Kahn's head was about to be beheaded by the black sword, Angerte threw the imperial guard spear in his hand to block the fatal blow at the cost of being injured by Sevatar's chainsaw halberd.
The black sword slashed on the spear that originally belonged to the imperial guards, and the hard weapon made of shining gold was almost broken into two.
With a clever move, Sigismund twisted the imperial guard's spear away from his sword and sent it flying back in front of Anglete.
The imperial guard's spear, which was almost broken in half, kept shaking as it stuck in the ground. Angletai and Kahn felt their hearts sink to the bottom.
Chapter 640 Perturabo: All of them are trash! (Three in one)
Anglethe had never expected that Kahn's defeat would come so quickly.
He knew very well how powerful Kahn was now. Even if the Blood God's bloodthirsty demon encountered Kahn, it would most likely be the World Eater who chopped off the bloodthirsty demon's head.
Kahn was blessed by the Blood God and with his own help, he was able to maintain his sanity.
But such a Kahn was defeated by Sigismund without much suspense, which undoubtedly highlighted Sigismund's terrifyingness.
The Emperor's Champion is so terrifying.
"We still failed, Kahn, just as I told you before."
Anglete lent Kahn his shoulder to lean on so that he could catch his breath and recover his strength quickly.
"No one except the Primarch can defeat Sigismund, not even if we come together.
But even if the Black Knight is defeated, nothing will change. He has become the Emperor's weapon. If there is no Sigismund, there will be Dongismond. "
"A non-renewable weapon is not qualified, no matter how powerful he is. This also means that there will be more and more Astartes like him."
"How have you considered the matter I asked you before? We don't have much time to hesitate and think. This war will end soon."
Kahn struggled to stand up again and spat a mouthful of corrosive acidic saliva onto the ground, which contained a knocked-out tooth.
However, compared with the pain brought by the Butcher's Nails, this was nothing at all. His mind was full of thoughts about Anglete's problem.
He recalled something that Angertai had mentioned to him before: Angertai claimed that this rebellion war would inevitably end with the defeat of Horus, and all their efforts here were meaningless.
"Are you planning to betray the Warmaster and divide our alliance?"
"You want us to abandon our Primarch as well and follow the same path as you?"
In response to Kahn's questioning, Angerte simply nodded in agreement.
"Horus is just a slave of Chaos. Even though he is powerful now, the real power lies in the Four Chaos Gods behind him. Why should we work for him?"
"I know you are still worried about Angron, but he has become the Demon Prince of the Blood God. It is too late.
It would be better for you to consider what your Legion should do in the future, whether to continue to follow Angron and become the Blood God's servants, or to choose to rely on your own free will. "
"Horus's path has proven to be wrong. He is only walking a dead end. If we want to continue to survive, we must find a new path."
"So I chose to assassinate and exile Lorgar, because all he wanted was to replace Horus and become another puppet and slave, which was also a dead end."
Kahn suddenly swung out his Bloodfather, and the roaring chainsaw spewed out thick smoke of promethium fuel, instantly tearing apart an Eldar Assault Scorpion Warrior who pounced from the shadows.
The alien, who thought he was hiding well, had not yet reacted before he was completely shattered into a pile of meat paste.
It would be fine if Sigismund couldn't defeat them, but who the hell are these Eldar aliens active on the battlefield, to dare to provoke him?
