The Astartes Family's Notebook

The so-called "double-chosen one" refers to the most promising fish market scalper.

Those who could be favored by two Chaos Gods at the same time must have extraordinary talent as a basic requirement. Without some outstanding ability, they would have been turned into Chaos Eggs long ago.

Among the two chosen ones, Slaanesh and Khorne are the most common in abducting people, because their powers and authority are very similar in form.

It is extremely rare for both Khorne and Nurgle to favor the same person.

Because it's very difficult for a normal living being to balance love and family while also being bloodthirsty and murderous.

However, once such a mental illness occurs, Slaanesh and Tzeentch are often doomed.

In the Middle Ages, there was a figure called Vashner, who was jokingly referred to as the "File Destroyer." It took Slaanesh and Tzeentch teaming up to restart the timeline dozens of times to finally deal with this unfortunate fellow.

Just imagine, a monster with the Nurgle faction's massive health bar and the Khorne faction's overwhelming attack power, plus a built-in AoE aura and extremely high psionic resistance—how are the Myriad Manifestations and the Keepers of the Secret supposed to fight it?

It can't handle even a little bit.

In other words, during the 40K era, Khorne and Nurgle were vying for control of the Warp. Their fundamental conflict was irreconcilable; otherwise, neither Tzeentch nor Slaanesh would know how to get through the days of mourning.

Unfortunately, a new storm has emerged, and if the threat is not nipped in the bud, the Celestial Venerable and the Lady will once again have shoe prints on their faces.

This is a trial. Kars is just a decoy. Slaanesh and Tzeentch are working together. It can't be as simple as best friends meeting for dinner.

They're going to kill someone.

What would be a better pawn than Amaterasu, who is also blessed by Tzeentch and Slaanesh, to deal with the chosen one who is blessed by both Khorne and Nurgle?

Katz?

At another time, the Celestial and the Lady might have set up the scheme, but they had just negotiated the terms with the Emperor and hadn't even received the benefits yet. It wouldn't be appropriate to treat Kaz like a treasure at this point.

In fact, those in the subspace community have their own set of experiences regarding the double selection of gods.

Slaanesh and Nurgle rarely bless the same person at the same time. These two are incompatible and have extremely poor horoscopes. If two true gods bless the same person at the same time, it means that the account is going to be destroyed, and the Warp will be happy to receive a brand new Chaos Egg.

The same applies to Tzeentch and Khorne. Although the two brothers get along fairly well, their personalities are too different. Those who are favored by Tzeentch are unlikely to be favored by Khorne.

But the reverse is not true. Why didn't Amaterasu suspect that his brother Samar was guilty?

This isn't the first time that the Celestial Venerable has tried to poach Master's men. Khorne doesn't think much of Tzeentch's chosen ones, but Tzeentch does like several of Khorne's chosen ones. It's just that his success rate in poaching them isn't very high.

During this time, under the "protection" of his brother Samar, Amaterasu became complacent and never imagined that the Lady and the Celestial would join forces to plot against him.

The warships of this Sons of the Emperor's warships have been tainted by the power of Slaanesh; they are essentially the outpost of the Dark Prince.

With Tzeentch also joining in the sabotage, it was impossible for Amaterasu not to fall into a state of existential crisis.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?

Despite the powerful force of destruction interfering with the disappearance of their own leader, no Chaos Astartes noticed this.

And Katz...

Kaz is thinking about how to kill these sons of the emperor.

It was Sila who was shameless first.

Two hundred rounds of competition, winning one hundred and one matches would guarantee a victory, but Slaanesh gave the Emperor's Son sixty-six wins right from the start. I'll beat you to a pulp.

Don't blame Kaz for being rude; it's just that the Dark Prince went too far. Why don't you win a hundred matches first to put on a show?

Heh heh, because Slaanesh is ultimately more concerned with his reputation than Tzeentch. If the Celestial Venerable were to do this, the ninety-nine-game winning streak would just be the beginning.

"What are you thinking? A sword is a weapon, and swordsmanship is the art of killing. All that fancy stuff can be done however you want once your opponent is down on the ground. In real combat, you need to probe, maneuver, and find an opportunity to kill with one strike. Stop waving your sword around like that."

Coach Katz was in a bad mood and gave instructions from the sidelines by turning the volume up to the maximum through the loudspeaker.

Hey, the Truth Staff Battle Clan is shameless, how come they have off-field coaching?

So the noise warriors got restless too, resorting to underhanded tactics—who doesn't know how to do the same?

Ha, you're playing dirty tricks, aren't you!

Anyway, we've already lost 88 times, brothers, let's flip the table!

The Celestial Venerable stopped at just the right moment, and the Master, who was using the ancient Terra method to repair the television, suddenly saw a clear picture again and was overjoyed.

Your Astartes is truly delightful! I've already got something to watch as soon as I entered the live stream. Fight! Fight! I want to see rivers of blood flowing in the Holy Land!

Hehe, it's done!

The Chaos God is omnipotent, but the High Heaven is full of infinite possibilities.

The instant Khorne's attention was focused on Kars, Tzeentch intervened, obscuring the clear fate of the unfortunate fellow favored by both the Master and the Father.

The scheme was orchestrated by the Celestial Venerable, so the effort should naturally fall on the lady.

Kars showed no martial ethics and immediately turned on them, which surprised none of the bad guys on the Stick of Truth's side.

[The Blade of Annihilation] Samar has actually managed to hold out until now; he has such a great sense of the big picture. I'm so moved.

So the Black Legion's envoy was put on hold.

Abaddon did something similar, except that when we Black Legion did such things, we always did it behind people's backs. You Stick of Truth are just too...

Dark Prince, Slaanesh, my dear father, please save me! Please save me!

These emperor's sons had anticipated that the Stick of Truth would betray them, but they never imagined that these scattered soldiers would be so fierce.

How could they not be fierce? Nowadays, the members of the battle gang are all those who have been cut down by Kaz and then selected through an internal battle royale competition. Those who aren't fierce would have been killed long ago.

The Eye of Fear does not believe in tears, and the Four Chaos Gods even encourage double-crossing.

This massive, chaotic spectacle, comparable to the Red Wedding, was something the Blood God absolutely loved to watch. To ensure signal stability, the Master had to invest even more effort in overcoming the issue of the broadcast venue's ownership by Slaanesh.

Thus, despite being chosen by both Khorne and Nurgle, Amaterasu did not find it too difficult to deal with the combined forces of the Lady and the Celestial.

The loving father did notice, but Nurgle had no intention of interfering in this fair one-on-one contest.

The prerequisite for being a loving family is to first become a family. Despite both Khorne and himself having made offers, the other party is still arrogant and spoiled, and Nurgle has not yet regarded him as a part of Nurgle Garden.

At this moment, Amaterasu was heavily blessed by Slaanesh, while the Celestials did not bestow any blessing upon him.

This disguise fooled the loving father.

Even after Amaterasu painstakingly secured the kill, the benevolent father only felt a slight regret.

Wild grass can never grow into a towering tree, so be it.

A sudden, inexplicable loss of warp space, a sudden, inexplicable life-or-death battle—thankfully, the Infinity Gate spell was truly powerful.

After catching his breath, Amaterasu opened the door and returned to the match venue, leaving his owners dumbfounded.

Corpses littered the ground, and Katz, holding a guitar, was singing "In the Name of the Father" in a gospel style.

“Ah, ya, check it out... Merciful Father, I have fallen into a kingdom where I cannot see sin. Please forgive my arrogance.”

When Amaterasu returned, Kaz had already sung the chorus for the second time, and the Chaos Astartes of the Staff of Truth were fawningly joining in with their "ah-ya-ya" harmonies.

"No one can tell, no one has anything to say, it's so hard to bear, behind the glory lies a deep loneliness."

"Aiya, check it out!"

A heart-wrenching melody, yet nowhere is there no fragrant grass in the world. Kaz reversed his grip on the headstock of the instrument, which was also a guillotine, and swung it directly at the noise warriors stomping beneath his feet.

"If you can't play the piano, then shut the hell up and make noise, don't you understand?!"

The noise warrior, whose head had been smashed into the floor, was not quite dead yet. He groped around on the ground with his hands, finally finding a piece of bone fragment that belonged to someone else, and tapped it against Kaz's leg armor.

[The Blade of Annihilation] was enraged and raised his leg to stomp on the ground again.

Do you want me to forgive your rudeness?

Slaanesh's voice struck his very soul, and Amaterasu felt as if he had fallen into a cold abyss.

Having disrupted a "fair contest" under Slaanesh's gaze, it was only right that the Dark Prince turned all the Astartes of the Staff of Truth into Chaos Eggs.

GAZ...

Freyr...

Samar Brothers...

Amaterasu made her decision without much hesitation, if...

But Slaanesh's plan was premature.

Who doesn't know what kind of celestial being the Celestial Venerable is, both inside and outside the subspace?

When it comes to serious matters, Jianqi never neglects his duties, but once he finishes his important tasks, he never gives up on causing trouble.

Fate has obscured it; gather it!

Master was furious when he discovered that the person he was fighting with Nurgle for had been killed.

Fine, fine, Slut, you're the one who ruined my plans, aren't you?

The power originating from the burning hell has been poured in, and now that we have such a good henchman as Kars, the Holy One never lets his revenge linger overnight.

Hehe, they're fighting! They're fighting!

No, Lan Gugu, where the hell are you from?

Slaanesh felt like he'd been tricked again.

Hehe, in the middle.

Since it was their own dojo, and Slaanesh wasn't made of clay, they simply threw a Keeper of the Secret over there.

With Khorne's intervention, the plan to directly bring Amaterasu under his control had to be temporarily shelved.

Well then, let's teach that brat Kaz a lesson first.

The destruction of a warband of the Emperor's Son doesn't really matter to Slaanesh, but the Eye of Fear operates on a face-saving system, and face cannot be lost.

If Amaterasu had been willing to become his chosen one, the matter would have been over; it was merely an internal power struggle within the Slaanesh camp.

But with Khorne's intervention, the matter turned into a major conflict between the Slaanesh and Khorne factions.

For the sake of saving face, Sinai must be made a big deal out of it.

However, the warp is not the real universe. Although the Chaos Demon can unleash its full power in the warp, it does not possess the super-strong immortality resistance that requires a true name to be banished, as is the case in the real universe.

Karz could never distinguish between the Keepers of Secrets under Slaanesh and ordinary Desire Maidens, and he had no sense of fear like Amaterasu.

This oppressive force is far less than that of a bloodthirsty madman.

"You broke the rules and disrupted the betting..."

Before the Keeper of the Secrets could finish speaking, Kaz had already drawn his power sword and slashed at him.

"The outcome is already decided; we have 112 wins. Can't afford to lose?"

hiss......

Kaz's shamelessness deeply shocked the three Chaos Gods who were watching this place. In him, Slaanesh, Tengich, and Khorne all saw the shadow of a certain old friend.

Later, when someone resembled you in some ways, I panicked... How could that be?

The Blood God's loud laughter startled countless great demons beneath the Brass Throne. "Master's wife has given birth!"

So happy.

Hehehe, the Celestial Venerable's wife has given birth too, I'm so happy!

Amaterasu wanted to step in and smooth things over, saying that a six-ring offer wasn't out of the question, but Samar, there was no need...

But for some reason, Amaterasu felt a warm feeling in her heart and hesitated.

The Kazleia space is here to boost the KPIs of the Golden Throne. Chaos traitors can be killed, but warp demons cannot.

That doesn't make sense, and that's not how it works.

If it weren't for the itching in my chest affecting my movements, I could have killed this keeper with the first strike.

The Master laughed for a while, then became unhappy again.

Even with all that betting, the Chaos Eight-Pointed Star didn't appear on Kars's chest. Emperor, you deserve to die!

Although the Blood Flame overwhelmed the Star Torch, Khorne's Blessing could not completely embrace Karz into the embrace of Chaos. Tzeentch, who noticed this, was even more delighted, and even Slaanesh's anger subsided somewhat.

Fine, that's it. If Katz wins, then this is the end of it.

So, can Katz win?

Of course it's possible, it's easy.

The Keeper's whip skills and physical prowess were indeed remarkable, but against the super-strong psychic resistance brought by the Blood God's Blessing, the mind-confusing spells that the Great Demon Slaanesh was most adept at were completely ineffective.
