The Astartes Family's Notebook

Because he issued the extermination order, Katz got into big trouble, so Alphares, disguised as the angel of salvation, used the excuse of escorting him to rescue Katz.

However, the Blood God encountered a communication problem with the Lord of Myriad Changes, and the Khorne Demon Army disrupted the Celestial Venerable's subsequent plans, thus igniting a battle for the dual selection of gods.

The Celestial Being sent him here so that the Kars brothers could return to the real universe as "loyalists" and continue their undercover work.

Boss Tzeentch, well done!

Ah, is that what I think?

Yes, yes, that's exactly what I think, hehe.

So what should we do next?

"Let's blow up the ship."

Kars was a pure man, detached from the base desires of Astartes. His original intention to see what it would be like to detonate a warp engine in warp space never changed.

This was a perfectly intact frigate, a genuine Imperial ship, and it just exploded like that?

“Bomb it, the Samar brothers’ ship, he can bomb it if he wants.”

While telepathy is convenient, it also has significant drawbacks.

Because of Tzeentch's role as the Riddler, and because Kars spoke the truth, Amaterasu subconsciously accepted his identity and truly dared not ruin the Celestial's plans.

It's a good ship, so let's blow it up if necessary.

After a more thorough search, the surviving Astartes all left on the Chaos Warband's ships.

Only Katz seemed a bit off.

These subspace fireworks weren't very impressive.

It was as if the two-dimensional image had been shattered into pixels and simply erased.

By the time Tzeentch withdrew his powers and Khorne swept through with his divine senses, Kars had already vanished without a trace.

What are the Samar brothers' plans next?

"I haven't decided yet. Originally, the Chapter had already made arrangements for going to Hydrafor, so it was just a formality. But then this whole Warp Trek thing happened, and the purity review is a huge problem."

Sincerity is always the ultimate weapon.

Kaz's words were so Alpharis-like that none of the eight members of the Warband doubted his loyalty.

"Reassign a new identity?"

"I've already risen to the rank of company commander, with full authority."

"That's a real shame."

With everyone's collective wisdom and efforts, Kaz gained a direct and general understanding of the Chaos Warband's ecosystem.

There is a huge cognitive barrier between empire and chaos.

The Chaos Warband is actually full of prejudice and arrogance towards the Empire. Due to the rambling of many veterans of the Eternal War, most Chaos Astartes have a vague understanding of the current operating structure of the Empire and are full of various speculations.

Only the Alpharis of the Twentieth Legion have a more comprehensive view.

Kaz has never admitted to being Alpharis, but the members of Amaterasu's warband have tacitly accepted that he is a high-ranking Alpharis.

“Brother Samar, it’s not that we want to spy on you, we’re just curious. If you don’t want to talk about it, that’s fine. But if you can, tell everyone about your legion’s big plan.”

It's a wonderful coincidence that during the Black Ship incident, Katz chased after the Great Unclean One and never even saw Sobot. The two of them didn't know each other at all.

Kaz thought for a moment, then spoke up.

"With organizational arrangements, battle group training, and a little bit of personal effort, do you think I look like someone who can be a battle group leader?"

Wow, Samar, your tactical helmet is really cool...

Alpharis has been persistently infiltrating the Empire, a fact known to anyone in the Eye of Fear.

However, after more than 10,000 years, the best result was simply replacing one or two companies of the loyal Astartes with a complete substitution.

And then, and then came all sorts of hilarious mishaps.

The rules of the loyalist Astartes on the Empire's side are too strict; most of them can't stand anything involving Chaos. This undercover job is really difficult.

Therefore, the brothers of the Warband felt nothing but respect and admiration for Karz's declaration of his feelings.

"So, brother Samar, do you have any leads?"

“Going back directly is definitely not an option. I plan to go to Deathwatch first, get in touch with the organization, and do some preliminary groundwork.”

Having someone backing you up is so great, I can't help but envy that.

Although the Black Legion is now strong and well-equipped, they are not Abaddon's direct subordinates, and their lives are not as good as Alpharex's.

With the idea that having more friends means having more options, Amaterasu and his warband decided to send Kaz on his way.

"Brother Samar, where are you going? I'll take you there."

“Brother Amaterasu, do I look like a psionicist to you?”

Uh, should you look like it?

Tzeentch's chosen one is a Squib...

This would be a fatal flaw for any other destructive power, and Kars would be suspected of having an identity.

But if it's Blue Gugu, then it makes perfect sense.

Amaterasu himself was a victim of the God of Riddles and Fun, and he had no doubt about the source of Kars's resentment.

"But that's the problem. If you can't provide the specific coordinates, even if I have the Gate of Infinity, I still can't locate it."

"If that's the case, then the only option is to go to the Eye of Fear and return to the real universe through normal means."

"But then you blew up the ship."

Kaz, seeing Zhan Bang's petty and petty remarks, suddenly swung his hand across the room.

"A real man doesn't have to worry about not having a wife. A boat is like a wife. If you don't have one, you can go find one. If you can't find one, you can just steal one."

Alright, as expected of the valiant man the Master has his eye on. So, whose wife have you taken a fancy to? Surely it's not our warship, the escort ship.

"The Sobot brothers are really underestimating me. What I usually ride in is a battlecruiser. Destroyers and frigates are used as expendable resources to bombard the city. How could I possibly steal your ships? They don't consider me a brother."

Holy crap, this is the truth!

Amaterasu was experiencing some psychic visions.

Are you perhaps a relative of Ilkel Abaddon?

Is this Samar brother really Alpharis? Could he be a descendant of our Black Legion?

-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------

The Eye of Fear is a rather peculiar existence.

From an objective Warhammer universe astronomical perspective, the Eye of Terror is a stable gateway connecting the real universe and the warp.

But when has our Purgatory Galaxy ever been objective, viewed from the perspective of the Chaos Astartes? The Eye of Terror is just a development zone run by the Chaos Gods, the kind that looks like a kidney grill.

Not only the kidneys of the Ga Empire, but also the kidneys of the Chaos Demons.

What does it mean?

Not all subspaces are the same.

In a broad sense, subspace does not have the concepts of time and space. It is a point, a plane, 0, 1, nothingness, and infinity.

The subspace described from this perspective is closer to an abstract collection of philosophical concepts.

But the Eye of Fear is different. Inside the Eye of Fear, although the power of chaos still dominates everything, there is a faint sense of order mixed in with the chaos.

Whether it's the great power of the four gods or the influence of reality, it doesn't matter.

In simpler terms, the Eye of Fear in a narrow sense is the physical cosmic rift guarded by the world of Cadian Keep, while in a broader sense, the Eye of Fear actually refers to a vast virtual universe that emerged after that rift entered the warp.

Another strange piece of knowledge has been added to my knowledge.

Amaterasu, a rising star in the Black Legion, was young but possessed a profound knowledge of chaos. His explanation made Kaz suddenly understand.

No wonder our Lord Abaddon insisted on fighting the Eye of Terror to the death during his Black Expedition; it turns out he had no other choice.

For example, the Void Whale is something that even if the four Chaos Gods had nothing to do, they wouldn't bother dealing with. Abaddon once had the experience of wanting to launch a direct attack on an important world of the Imperium from the Warp, and then finding a bunch of Chaos Wizards to open a portal.

The plan was successful, and the positioning was precise. The only problem was that it made too much noise and attracted the attention of a Void Whale.

Then, Brother Dun's dozen or so boats and hundreds of brothers were gone forever.

Everyone loves to hear the dark history of the Great Raiders' defeats, and the War Gang is filled with laughter.

But while it's okay to joke around, don't joke when it comes to serious business.

Even the Four Gods' demonic army would need to make a large number of soul sacrifices to tear apart the veil of the real universe. Unless Kaz can provide the psionic coordinates, Amaterasu's mastery of the noble Infinity Gate spell would be in vain.

Can Kaz provide these coordinates?

You might as well make me recite pi backwards...

So we should laugh at people, not things. Abaddon has to go through the Eye of Fear to fight his way out, and Kars has to go through the Eye of Fear to go back to being his company commander.

There are many passages between the real universe and subspace, but only this one is stable.

As for the Great Vortex, the subspace evils on the other side of the Great Vortex don't follow the rules of the martial world.

According to Amaterasu, the Chaos Wizard, the Eye of Terror was purged by the four Chaos Gods. The native warp demons were systematically wiped out several times by the Chaos Gods' armies, and those who did not follow the rules were all slaughtered.

I understand. The park was built to generate profits, and basic order is necessary. Access to water, electricity, and roads is a prerequisite for attracting investment.

However, on the other side of the Great Vortex, the path between the warp and the real universe is neither stable nor smooth. Chaotic evils of all sizes are spreading a net of destruction, never looking back. Compared to the Eye of Fear, a frontline base for counterattacking the human empire, it is in a state of a thriving primeval jungle where everything is competing for survival.

So Amaterasu regretfully told Kaz that once he left the Eye of Fear, as long as he paid the toll, there wouldn't be any major problems with the Chaos forces. However, if he wanted to leave the Great Vortex, his dear brother Samar would have to call in at least a fleet the size of Dalian to escort him.

The local gangs in the Whirlpool really don't follow the rules.

Alright, alright, guild leader, I understand. You're implying you don't want to go through the Great Whirlpool.

Fun fact: Entering the Eye of Fear is free, but exiting it is blocked by Abaddon's men.

Wait, aren't these big raiders afraid of incurring public wrath?

No worries, the law doesn't apply to high-ranking officials. This money is only for the small fry and weaklings who can't afford to mess with the Black Legion, like Amaterasu's warbands.

As for the powerful and well-equipped Chaos Army leader, what's with the roadblock? What are you talking about? This is our Black Legion's welcoming fleet. Take care, brothers. We'll treat you to drinks next time.

This is also why many Astartes, who were utterly disappointed with the human empire and had a sudden urge to venture into the Eye of Terror, made an even more desperate decision to open the gate and kill.

Your Empire is utterly rotten, and the Eye of Fear isn't much better.

Don't laugh at Mao Ge, they're pretty much the same.

So you mean...?

“I don’t have any plans to go to the real universe to make a living for the time being, so I’ll just find a ship to take you out, Brother Samar. I’ll pay the toll.”

“That won’t do. These past few days, the Guizhan Gang has been treating us to good food and drink, and now you’re asking us to cover the travel expenses? That’s not my style, Samar.”

"So, brother, what are you planning to do..."

“I, Samar, will never be too late to take revenge, but I will never be too late to repay kindness. Before I leave, I must earn some benefits for my brothers.”

Nima's gangster vibe is too strong, but the Samar brothers are so naughty, everyone loves them.

Here's a fun fact: Amaterasu is considered one of the most powerful human psionicists.

In the real universe, if all the think tanks in the Empire's loyalist faction were brought together, fewer than a hundred could reliably defeat him.

However, within the warp, chaos wizards are second-class citizens; they can easily hire well-known psionic assassins from the Four Gods to target and ambush them by spending just a few hundred souls.

Especially those brutes from the Faithful Horror, each of them possessed terrifyingly high psionic resistance; Amaterasu was in the Eye of Terror...

Forget about the Eye of Fear; even the Big Boss isn't considered a big shot within the Black Legion.

So-called reputation and good name, who the hell cares about reputation and name? Even the broken king Iskandar Kayan, does he care about his reputation? Others don't care. If he doesn't like someone, he'll grab them and refine them instantly. Who cares about friendship or feelings?

Gas, the veteran who is the combat leader of the Warband and the terminator of countless battles, would not have chosen to retire with the young Amaterasu if he hadn't grown tired of the intrigue and backstabbing within the Black Legion.
