The Bizarre Adventures of Cloud Hammer

Before Alan could answer, all the psychics present felt that the subspace energy in the city was rising rapidly. The originally clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and illusory figures flashed in the city.

"What's going on?" Alan put his hand on the hilt of the sword and looked alert.

"These are the memories contained in the Colchis fragments, activated by the warp." Luochen explained to Allen that it was too late for them to do anything now. This phenomenon was proof that Isil had been corrupted by the Colchis 'heretics!' and that the phenomenon would intensify until the cities of Colchis began to appear.

This also indicates that the ritual of the Word Bearers has begun.

After the Imperial Guard completely occupied the Lower Nest, they set up a temporary camp in the area where the Lower Nest passage was located. Elio, the Chapter Master of the Celestial Lions, was in command in this temporary camp. He ordered the Cadian Assault Force and the Astartes Squad to explore the situation in the passage. Once the risks were eliminated, the Imperial Guard would launch an attack on the Lower Nest from here.

After deciding not to attend the banquet, Elio wanted to send people to the city to search for the missing Tianshi team, but Mikasa told him that Inquisitor Allen personally led people to the city to investigate, so he didn't need to send anyone there.

Then Elio found that he seemed to have nothing to do. He thought about the fact that the Tianshi Regiment did not put in much effort when attacking the lower nest, so he took the initiative to take over the task of exploring the passage to the lower nest.

Just now, Elio received a communication from the Tianshi team, and learned that the Tianshi team was first rescued by Inquisitor Allen and his men, then buried underground by a traitor, and then rescued by the Nebula Hammer Legion and returned to the ground.

"This operation should be over soon."

After the operation was over, Elio prepared to thank Alan and the Nebula Hammer Chapter, and to have a conversation with the Nebula Hammer. Elio was still thinking about the story of the Nebula Hammer. After all, Chapter Captain Uldren had promised him.

Suddenly, a bad premonition arose in Elio's heart, making him feel depressed.

Not only Elio, but other Astartes and some veterans of the Cadian Assault Force also felt the same way, as did the Lord of the Black Templars in the defensive position and Marshal Koslo at the tower-top banquet.

The Chaos Astartes of the Underhive, the Bringer of Suffering and the Scarlet Blade were no longer hiding. They walked towards the passage to the Underhive surrounded by cultists.

"The final holy war has arrived! Act now, followers of the Ancient God. The false emperor and his servants will become corpses at our feet, and we will rise again!"

The Dark Apostle stood at the highest point of the bottom nest. He broadcast his voice to every corner of the bottom nest, inciting the emotions of the cultists.

When he first left the Eye of Terror, the Dark Apostle never thought that this plan could succeed, but God favored him and allowed him to gather all the necessary conditions for success.

Those minions of the Corpse King would never imagine that it was they who helped the Word Bearers complete this ritual.

In the Word Bearers' rituals, the power of the Chaos Gods is indispensable. Killing, death, joy, and change must all be achieved, so the Word Bearers have been making careful arrangements. If any link in the middle goes wrong, the entire plan will fail.

The death had already been achieved at the beginning of the rebellion two years ago, joy had existed in the hive from the beginning, the actions of the Imperial Guard in the lower nests completed the killing, and even the Dark Apostle himself did not know how the final change was achieved.

The Inquisitor's arrival hadn't caused enough change, and it wasn't until a few days ago, when the Imperial Guard began their attack, that drastic changes began to appear on Isil.

The Dark Apostle thought of the Thousand Son that his substitute had met. Only the Thousand Son was beyond his expectations. But could the appearance of one person change the fate of the entire planet?

However, none of this matters to the Dark Apostle. As long as this ritual can be completed, Colchis will reappear in this universe. At that time, the Dark Apostle will be rewarded by the Primarch, and he will be promoted to a high-level Dark Apostle and become a member of the Dark Council.

The Inquisitors, the Imperial Guard, the Astartes, the Thousand Sons would only be stepping stones for him.

"Come, let us return to our former home."

Chapter 66 Impact

The planetary governor's banquet was filled with a sense of weirdness from the very beginning. Ou Ge discovered that all the nobles attending the banquet, regardless of gender, were young and beautiful. This alone was very abnormal. The top nobles should not be stupid enough to allow only their own young people to attend such an important banquet.

Moreover, no one came to communicate with the two Astartes Chapter Captains, Ogo and Koslo, during the banquet. They were really just enjoying the banquet quietly. The nobles on Atis were not like this in the past.

“It’s strange here,” Koslo said to Ou Ge. “I don’t feel awe from these people.”

"It's not just reverence they lack, Brother Koslo."

After Gloria scanned out the distribution of the stone pillars, it was obvious at a glance that there was something wrong with the planetary governor, and Brother Ou had already prepared to deal with various situations at the banquet.

"They don't even have an ounce of emotion."

The two looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

Brother Ou used the communicator to contact Mikasa and asked her to leave the banquet first. As Mikasa was Allen's disciple, Brother Ou must take care of her. If something really happened later, Brother Ou might not be able to take care of her.

After Mikasa successfully left for a while, Ou Ge and Koslo stayed in the banquet for a while. During this time, Ou Ge also listened to Luo Chen talk about the plan of the Word Bearer. It can only be said that the Word Bearer's plan is indeed big.

"Mikasa is safe, let's go."

Ou Ge and Koslo put on their helmets, stood up and prepared to leave the banquet hall with the guards.

"Where are you two going?"

The voice of the planetary governor came from the other end of the hall, and the eyes of the nobles in the field were focused on them at this moment.

"Sorry, Planetary Governor, we just received news and need to return to the battleship immediately to deal with a matter. Let's discuss the matters of the hive city next time." Brother Ou said, his eyes under the helmet scanning the banquet hall. Those expressionless nobles looked like pseudo-people.

"Is that so? The angels are really busy." The planetary governor clapped his hands, and the door to the banquet venue suddenly closed. The lights in the venue also turned into a deep pink and purple, making the entire venue dim.

"What does this mean, Planetary Governor?"

The Astartes' hands were now on their weapons.

"Oh, are you still pretending to be confused, my Lords?" The Governor's voice was filled with an unpleasant stickiness. "Of course I want you to stay and witness my ascension under the favor of the Lord of Pleasure."

"Heretic!" Koslo fired the plasma pistol in his hand at the planetary governor. The nobles at the banquet blocked the planetary governor at an abnormal speed. The nobles' bodies were blown apart by the plasma beam. In the charred gaps, there were no human internal organs, but various unknown fillers.

"You destroyed my doll. How are you going to compensate me now?" The planetary governor pretended to be distressed, but to be honest, his acting was terrible.

Ou Ge asked Koslo not to rush into action. He asked the planetary governor:

"If you want compensation, we can talk about it up close, but I'm curious how you passed Judge Allen's review."

Alan is not a fool. It is impossible for him not to see this obvious heresy. The planetary governor must have used some means to deceive Alan.

"That's not an easy task. I spent a lot of effort to make him believe it, but Inquisitor Allen still didn't let me go, and I couldn't enjoy myself properly in the past six months." The planetary governor had long discovered that Allen was letting Mikasa monitor him, but in order not to affect the plan of the messenger of God, she could only keep pretending.

"And now I don't have to endure it anymore." As he said this, the planetary governor undid his clothes and exposed his body.

The Astartes had no time to admire the body of a middle-aged heretic woman, but the planetary governor continued to tear off a layer of skin on the surface of her body, revealing her real body with a large number of sutures. This made her look like a doll that had been constantly repaired.

Then the planetary governor tore off the skin on his face, revealing the face of a beautiful girl.

"What a disgusting gesture." This heresy performed on the spot made Koslo and the Astartes of the Black Templars feel disgusted.

"This is the ultimate and eternal beauty you don't understand." The Planetary Governor first raised his own hands. "These hands belonged to a noble's little daughter. I had just received them when Inquisitor Allen arrived. It was she who helped me pass the Inquisitor's final review."

The hand seized by the planetary governor will not contain any chaotic energy for a period of time, and naturally will not trigger the "cleanliness" mechanism of Allen's demonic creation.

"These legs belong to..., the breasts are..." The Governor continued to introduce the origins of various parts of her body. Finally, she pointed to her face, "And this face, she belongs to my granddaughter, she is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen."

The planetary governor is a stitched-together incubus who constantly seeks out the most beautiful parts and installs them on herself. This perverted pursuit of beauty has led her to the path of Slaanesh.

"What's going on with these nobles?"

"Didn't I just say that Your Majesty the Angel is really forgetful? This is eternal beauty, and only in this way can beauty be preserved." The planetary governor stroked the face of a noble beside him. She had made these people into dolls and stored them in the collection room until she took them out to perform a show at this banquet.

"From the beginning, everything on Isil was a show?"

"Yes and no. The Ancient Soul was originally a cult that was hostile to me, and I had a lot of trouble with them. But after the arrival of the Divine Messengers, the Ancient Soul was taken under their control. After that, I reached a cooperation with the Divine Messengers. They need this planet, and I will be elevated to a more beautiful existence."

To translate it, the Word Bearers wanted to use Isil to create a new Colchis, and they would give the planetary governor a chance to ascend to demonhood. The two sides immediately agreed to stage a rebellion drama in order to attract the Imperial army.

"Enough! I've heard enough of your blasphemy. You will die here today, heretic!" Koslo was ready to attack. As the marshal of the Black Templar, he could not tolerate a heretic living in front of him.

Ou Ge wanted to persuade Koslo not to be impulsive. The fact that the planetary governor dared to expose herself directly showed that she had a trump card that could deal with the two teams of Astartes. Now it would be best to fight and retreat at the same time, and wait for Mikasa to call for support before dealing with the heretic.

But at this time, Apu's voice sounded in Ou Ge's ears:

"Brother Ou, can you hear me?"

"what happens?"

"The Word Bearers' ritual has begun. Soon, Hive Isil will be transformed into a warp energy tower. It will be very dangerous to stay in the hive!"

Apu observed the start of the ceremony on the Blue Silver Sword, and Luochen also reported the news.

The stone pillars placed in various cities have been activated, and the warp energy stored in them is being transmitted to the hive city along the tentacles of the Colchis fragments. The stone pillars in the hive city will be activated layer by layer starting from the bottom nest. The warp energy will penetrate the entire hive city from low to high along the "high tower" layout. Finally, these warp energies will be emitted from the top of the tower into space, tearing a warp rift in the space where Isil is located.

The people in the hive will also suffer from the impact of the subspace energy at this stage, and even Gloria can't explain what consequences this will cause.

"But I can't leave now. The planetary governor has clearly defected."

The planetary governor had her puppets approach the Astartes. Koslo ordered the guards to open fire and had them cover his advance. Before he came, he said he would kill the heretic with his own hands.

"Well, if you want to leave, I'll have Gloria bring you back. If not, activate all the defenses you can."

"Where are the others?" Brother Ou asked everyone in the channel.

Ah Wei: "Xianyu said that a large number of enemies have come to the lower nest. I have to stay here to defend."

Luochen: "I'm with Alan and the others now, so I can't do anything. Besides, I'm not in the hive, so there's not that much to do."

Eryu: "I was rushing to your place, Brother Ou. I met Mikasa and asked her to board the Thunder Eagle and leave first."

Xianyu: "I'm still in the bottom nest. There are too many people outside. I won't leave. I'll hang up first."

After hearing what everyone said, Brother Ou also made a decision:

"Since everyone else isn't leaving, why should I leave?"

"Okay, be careful, this is not a small fight."

Apu interrupted the communication and he also had to prepare for the impending danger.

"I'm here to help you, Brother Koslo."

Ou Ge opened fire with his explosive pistol, and the blazing beam burned the approaching puppets to ashes. He stood side by side with Koslo and said:

"Let's get rid of this traitor."

Under the cover of the guards, Ou Ge and Koslo rushed towards the planetary governor. These "puppets" made of chaos sorcery could withstand multiple shots of explosive bombs, but they were not so effective against incendiary weapons.

The planetary governor did not make any move and just watched the two people rushing towards him. The bullets shot at her were blocked by a layer of shield, so he could only kill her at close range.

Soon, Ou Ge and Koslo killed their way through the group of puppets. The distance between them and the planetary governor kept closing. When the power swords in their hands were about to touch the planetary governor, the impact came.

The Cadian assault troops and Astartes in the lower nest discovered that many strange stone pillars that had been discovered before appeared in the area where they were. Before they could report to the headquarters, the surface of these stone pillars lit up with psychic light.

The warp energy rushing up from the lower nest enveloped the entire lower nest, and the warp energy in the stone pillar merged into it, just like the multi-stage propulsion of a rocket, allowing this huge amount of energy to shoot to the upper level of the hive city, followed by the upper nest, and finally the top of the tower. The warp energy column formed was visible to the naked eye in the universe, and the impact caused instantly swept through the unprepared Imperial Guards in the hive city, and most areas in the hive city were destroyed at this moment.

After the energy at the top of the tower gathers to a certain level, these subspace energies are launched from the highest spire on the top of the tower. High-density energy beams shoot directly into space. The curtain between reality and subspace is torn apart by this terrifying energy, and a huge subspace rift appears.

"Activate the Void Shield, pre-activate the Geller Stand, and prepare for impact!"

Ap watched this scene in the Blue Silver Sword. The shock wave caused by the subspace energy tearing through reality attacked the Imperial Fleet. Even though he had reminded the Imperial Fleet to be prepared, he still underestimated the intensity of the impact. The fleet's formation only lasted for a short while before it was completely broken, and several frigates were directly torn to pieces by the impact.

After the impact was over, only three battle barges and the specially modified Reprimand were left in the fleet. The other warships were blown away to somewhere in the subspace by the impact. This was why Ap asked the warships to pre-activate the Geller Stand so that they could close the void shield and set up the Geller Stand as soon as they were drawn into the subspace.

This attack directly caused the Imperial Fleet to lose more than half of its warships. Apu wanted other warships to report the losses, but the alarm suddenly sounded again.

"Subspace jump reaction detected!" Gloria said and brought up the screen.

Four Chaos warships jumped out of the Warp behind the Imperial fleet. They had been waiting for this moment.

"Turn around and prepare to engage the enemy!"

The impact of the warp energy reduced the entire Governor's Palace to ruins. Koslo stood up from the ground. He looked around but did not see any Black Templar Guards or Nebula Hammer. He tried to call other people and warships, but the overflowing warp energy in the hive cut off all communications.

"My mission is accomplished, messenger of the god of joy."

Koslo heard the sound and looked over. The planetary governor also survived the impact, and was kneeling in front of a man, a Chaos Space Marine.

There were countless scars on his pale and twisted face, and the pink and purple power armor twisted and transformed by the power of chaos was covered with faces wailing in pain. The drug syringe hanging on the power backpack was injecting unknown drugs into his body. In his left hand was a special long sword, and in his right hand was a long whip of flesh and blood spitting out from the shoulder armor. To what extent had he fallen to create such an evil posture?

"You have done well," the Chaos Space Marine said. "I grant you the Dark Prince's blessing."

After saying that, he slashed the Planetary Governor's throat with a sword. The Planetary Governor fell to the ground holding her throat with an expression of disbelief, not understanding why the Chaos Space Marine would do this.

"Idiot, how can you be qualified to receive God's gift when you failed to transform in the ritual?" The Chaos Space Marine turned and walked away, leaving the planetary governor lying on the ground waiting to die.

"These Word Bearers have truly accomplished something remarkable. I've waited so long for them." The Chaos Space Marine looked at Koslo. "Oh, I almost forgot. There's another person here."

Koslo observed the guy in front of him and said:

"Traitor, are you the one who desecrated the Blade?"

"Desecrated Blade? Ha, I didn't expect anyone to actually believe that name." The Chaos Space Marine laughed. "While it's true that this name can describe me, I still prefer another one."

"Flawless Blade~ What a fitting title for me, don't you think?"

The Chaos Space Marine pointed his sword at Koslo:

"Come, let me see what you are capable of, loyal one. I hope you can hold on a little longer so that I can feel more pleasure."

Chapter 67: Scattered People, Unclear Situation

"What the hell, where did this get me?"

As Ogo recovered from the impact, he found himself lying in a collapsed building, not the planetary governor's palace, but in an area of the Upper Nest.

"Gloria, what's going on?" Ou Ge remembered that he was charging with Koslo just now and was about to chop off the planetary governor's head with one blow.
