"Sanguinius?"
"Father?"
The phantom looked at the crowd, its eyes blazing with flames.
He spoke, his voice low and filled with anger.
"Horus, why, why did you betray us?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a spear made of light appeared in his hand.
Immediately afterwards, he charged towards the Holy Blood Angel and the players.
“No!” Mephisto cried. “We are your offspring, Primarch, we are not Horus.”
However, the phantom of Saint Gilles did not stop at all.
He launched an attack on Mephisto and his men.
Every blow was fatal.
Players finally know where those charred corpses came from.
They must have wandered here by mistake and been burned like this by Saint Gilles' wrath.
Mephisto fends off his father's attacks.
Zheng~
The spear of light struck Mephisto's scepter, producing a clanging sound.
Saint Gilles' fighting prowess is despair-inducing.
Even a fragment of a soul was somewhat difficult for Mephisto.
Moreover, Mephisto couldn't possibly harm his own genetic father.
After blocking another attack, he shouted to the other think tank members.
"Use a magic array to trap him first."
Several think tanks dispersed, unleashed their power, connected, and ultimately converged on Morpheus.
"Restraint!"
Morpheus shouted,
A complex and profound runic array appeared beneath Saint Gilles' feet.
The runes intertwined, forming strong chains that bound Saint Gilles firmly together.
Saint Gilles moved suddenly, snapping several chains in two.
But the next second, more chains appeared, binding him tightly once more.
Saint Gilles was not one to give in so easily.
He roared and struggled incessantly, causing the runic chains binding him to break repeatedly.
“We can’t hold out for long,” one think tank member cried out. “The power of the Primarchs is too great.”
“We need to find a way to awaken the Primarch,” another think tank member who persisted in their efforts said.
“Now, there is only one way,” Morpheus said. “That is to sacrifice a Bloodborn child, to use his blood to appease the Primarch’s wrath and awaken reason.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned to look at the leader of Erlonghu.
Why are you all looking at me?
The boss of Erlonghu felt a sudden jolt of unease, sensing something was amiss.
"We need to sacrifice a child of holy blood," declared the dog-declaring war. "You are the most suitable."
The leader of Erlonghu was about to object, but after looking around, it seemed that he really was the most suitable.
After all, NPCs like Mephisto only have one life.
He, however, can be resurrected indefinitely.
"Alright, alright, here I come," said the leader of Erlonghu. "I'm getting killed while doing missions, I'm speechless."
Mephisto and the other Blood Angels nodded silently in their hearts.
The benefits of bringing the chosen ones here become apparent.
If there's anything that needs to be sacrificed, let them do it.
However, we still need to offer some incentives.
"If you can awaken the Primarch and quell his wrath, this scepter will be yours. - Chosen One, 'The Boss of Erlong Lake'."
Mephisto's words immediately drew envious looks from the other players.
This is Mephisto's scepter!
So, this pretty, fresh-faced girl was given to this guy as a reward?
I'm so envious, jealous, and resentful!!
"I don't care about scepters or anything like that. I just want to contribute to the return of the Angel Father."
At this moment, the eyes of the leader of Erlonghu became incredibly clear and resolute.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Morpheus again.
"Keep my scepter safe until I return to retrieve it."
Mephisto: "..."
He was initially somewhat moved,
But now, he wants to take back that feeling of being moved.
The leader of Erlonghu charged toward Saint Gilles, who was bound by a magic array.
Saint Gilles narrowed his eyes, revealing a chilling killing intent.
The Primarch moved with incredible speed; in the blink of an eye, his spear pierced through the charging leader of Erlonghu.
Even after the original casting upgrade is completed, these actions are still not clearly visible.
"So fast."
The leader of Erlonghu looked down at the spear that had pierced him, marveling at the Primarch's speed.
A look of pain crossed Saint Gilles' face.
The act of slaughtering his offspring revealed a struggling expression on this bewildered soul.
The next second, the leader of Erlonghu decisively plunged the dagger into his own neck.
Crimson blood splattered out, landing on the phantom of Saint Gilles.
The blood extinguished the fury in the Primarch's bright eyes, and the light of reason returned.
Saint Gilles looked at the Child of Holy Blood lying before him, a trace of sorrow appearing on his face.
Another son died because of him.
"The Primarch has been restored."
The players swarmed forward and dragged away the fallen leader of Erlonghu.
The body was thrown aside in a very rough manner.
It's clear that if Mephisto and the other Blood Angels weren't around, they would love to kick them a couple of times.
This guy actually got his hands on Mephisto's signature weapon! Jealousy has turned them into monstrous creatures!!
“Don’t do this,” Saint Gilles said, his voice filled with exhaustion.
“Don’t worry, Father. He is the chosen one and will soon return from the dead.”
"........."
Mephisto stepped forward and explained the identity of the Chosen One to the Primarch in detail.
This surprised Saint Gilles.
When did his father's power become so great that he could create an infinite number of resurrected chosen ones?
After the final battle of the Soul of Vengeance, Sanguis's soul was completely shattered.
The fragments scattered throughout the galaxy.
These fragments can sense each other's presence, but their memories are not interconnected.
Wandering among the fragments of the world of Signus, his memories of the Emperor remain stuck before boarding the Soul of Vengeance.
“Come, Father, we’ll take you home.” Mephisto reached out his hand, and the phantom of Saint Gilles ignited, eventually turning into a golden fragment that emitted a radiant glow.
"As long as you collect enough golden fragments, you can obtain a mythical hero." Looking at the golden fragments, "Don't be a dog, declare war!" felt that resurrecting Saint Gilles was like collecting fragments to exchange for a hero.
Other players strongly agreed with this.
Clearly, the operations team knows how to stitch things together, incorporating all sorts of excellent gameplay elements to create a hodgepodge.
Having obtained the fragment of Saint Gilles, the mission is now complete.
Mephiston and the others then set off back to the surface, preparing to leave Signus and head to their next location.
However, as soon as they arrived on the surface, they saw the sky torn open, and countless demons surged in like waves.
Clearly, the Chaos Gods had also noticed Mephisto and his companions' actions.
After the Great Rift opened, the influence of the Chaos Gods on the real universe grew stronger and stronger.
"We must protect the archangel's soul fragments at all costs!" Mephisto shouted.
“Withdraw the warships in orbit and leave immediately,” another think tank member said. “Chosen One, please buy us time.”
"Once the Archangel's soul fragments are safely returned to Baal, you can enter the Blood Angel's Relic Vault and choose a piece of equipment you like."
Having spent a long time together, the Holy Blood Angels have learned how to get these chosen ones to risk their lives for them.
Upon hearing this, players who said "If you're not going to be a dog, then declare war" immediately cheered excitedly, preparing to fight the demonic tide to the death and protect the archangel's soul fragments.
However, just as Mephisto and the others were calling for the Baal Sword,
The plan is to have Captain Nivia pinpoint their coordinates and teleport them back to the warship immediately so they can leave this place as soon as possible.
Another piece of bad news came.
"My lord, the divination instrument indicates that more than two hundred Chaos warships have suddenly appeared and surrounded us."
This news sank Mephisto's heart.
Clearly, the Chaos Gods came prepared, determined to seize the archangel's soul fragments.
"Captain Nivia, can we access the lighthouse communication network?" Morpheus asked.
“The signal is very weak, but it’s barely enough to send messages,” Nivea replied.
“We must immediately seek help from the Sage; only he can support us now,” Morpheus said.
Mephisto knew that the Saint could respond to the Chosen Ones' call and cross galaxies to instantly bring the other Chosen Ones to the battlefield.
Now, the only chance of bringing back the fragments of the archangel is to seek help from the saint.
“Yes, sir.” Nivia immediately carried out Morpheus’s order.
Mephisto turned to the others, “The plan has changed. We must hold our ground on the surface and wait for the Saint’s rescue.”
P.S.: Here's 5,000 words. There will be another chapter tonight.
My skill level is a bit lacking; I estimate I can only manage 10,000 words today. However, I won't just let the promised high-volume update slip by.
Once I've recovered a bit, I'll definitely give you a massive update of 15,000 words.
