I'm a magnetic field madman

Fugen took a deep breath, gripping his power sword tightly, its exquisite flames burning as if to form a soaring phoenix.

All the shame and regret were irreversible, but what lay before Fugen was a chance for him to start over.

He cannot atone for his sins, but he can look to the future if he can nip this crisis in the bud.

Fugen's gaze was firm, because he knew that this was the right thing he had to do!

If this is the last time we will meet, then he hopes to die a worthy death!

The Heavenly Punishment warship beneath Fugen's feet suddenly activated its inertia-free engine module... and this engine module, used to speed faster than light in the physical universe, will move forward at a speed approaching that of light the moment it is activated!

Such speed is enough to destroy anything that stands in its way—even the massive Black Rock Fortress.

But forces are reciprocal, and Fugen didn't know what the outcome would be, but as he said...

He would rather die a worthy death!

The pitch-black, eerie green undead warship moved forward at an incredibly fast speed...

Sensing something was wrong, Abaddon forcibly used the artifact Dark Night Eye in his hand to control his Eternal Consciousness!

The massive Blackrock Fortress rose up to protect it once more, but just before the barrier rose... the shattered living metal had already embedded itself deep within the Blackrock Fortress!

boom!!

The massive roar, accompanied by violent shaking, almost made Abaddon lose his footing. When the enraged warmaster tried to mobilize the power of Blackrock Fortress, he found that the fortress itself was resisting him!

He remembered Moriana's words—Blackrock Fortress possessed its own consciousness, and for it, being tainted by the filth of Chaos was a worse consequence than death.

The Blackrock Fortress under the Warlord's command disobeyed his orders, forbidding it from expelling the invaders. Even so, Abaddon, wielding the Eye of the Night, could still control him!

"That's enough, I'll take care of him!"

The situation on the surface also seemed to have changed—Abaddon looked fierce, and he decisively used the Eye of the Night to activate the backup plan!

At the bottom of Blackrock Fortress, the warp main cannon, drawing upon countless amounts of etheric energy, was already overloaded and charging, and with Abaddon's command—

The crimson spear pierced the earth in an instant!

157. The War of the Galactic Chaos

On the ground, Abaddon's plan, which was proceeding smoothly, encountered unexpected changes and obstacles.

Just when his forces were about to wipe out the Sons of Medusa and slaughter the Black Templars, these loyal Astartes received their "Apocalypse".

The first was Grand Marshal Helbrecht of the Black Templars... At the moment he was finally defeated by the enemy, the Grand Marshal saw the Emperor before his eyes... and then, without saying a word, the Emperor bestowed upon him a powerful magnetic field through divine revelation.

Then, he tore two squads of Chaos Terminators, an entire squadron of Demon Iron Birds, and countless Demon Engines to shreds.

The fanatical Grand Marshal saw it as a sign of imperial revelation and favor... and clearly he was not the only one on the battlefield to receive this revelation.

It seems that with the abuse of magnetic field power, the magnetic field infection in the world of Cardia has suddenly erupted into an uncontrollable state.

It could also be due to the psionic effect caused by the outburst of the Eye of Fear, or it could be the final act of resistance by the World Soul of Kadia.

But in any case, this signifies the failure of Abaddon's blitzkrieg plan against Cardia.

But the War Commander lived up to his reputation; after realizing the situation was hopeless...

He decisively chose to use the subspace main cannon, which was intended to destroy Cardia, to directly shatter Cardia's planetary shield!

Such behavior can be described as reckless, because the void shield protecting the planet would most likely be restored before his warp cannon could finish charging.

Ultimately, Void Shield technology cannot be considered "shield technology"; rather, it's more like a teleportation technology that removes attacks before they arrive.

Abaddon's subspace main gun is actually a negative in this compatibility with its shield.

But regardless, with Abaddon shattering Cardia's planetary shield...

This foreshadows the beginning of the most brutal meat grinder phase of the Battle of Cardia!

Countless airdrop pods and landing craft were launched vertically downwards from the tracks...

The raindrops falling were all minions of the Black Legion and warbands that had not yet left!

Some were from the scattered Death Guard and Word Bearers, some were the Flawless Sons after Lucius's death, and others were from various other warbands—

Even though most of the warbands have left Abaddon because of Abaddon's enemies, the remaining forces are still not to be underestimated!

However, these later-arriving forces were at least not as troublesome and terrifying as the Demonic Iron Birds and Magnet Space Marines.

After such a humiliating defeat, Lord Creed and Lord Kashezin finally dragged the war into their area of ​​expertise.

Countless anti-aircraft guns fulfilled their intended purpose...

Because Abaddon focused on attacking the shield generators and neglected the air defenses, countless drop pods and landing craft attempting to crash in Qatar were destroyed.

Whether it contains a group of Chaos cultists or Astartes, it makes no difference on this meat grinder battlefield.

The things that were blown to pieces in mid-air were just a bunch of shapeless corpse fragments.

Belisarius Caul, who had quietly arrived in Cardia, headed towards the location of the black stone obelisk littered with corpses.

As soon as the Great Sage landed, a shadow rose from behind his enormous robes, and a skeletal-shaped creation emerged from a collection of metal and pipes.

"interesting."

He gazed in awe at the black stone obelisks, then snapped his fingers to summon his scepter. He circled the relics, marveling at their beauty…

"The last time I saw these things was when they were first built. And look at them now, after regaining their souls, their memories and thoughts have become quite interesting."

"Do what you're supposed to do, Xenomorph," Caul said coldly, gripping his gear-axe tightly.

"Yes, yes, I really don't know who is more like a machine, you or me."

As Tarasin spoke, he placed his hand on the massive obelisk... and the black stones, like a machine with a key inserted, began to function with a flash of light...

An invisible force instantly spread across the sky above Kadia... and then, the psionic effects in the surrounding area were greatly suppressed!

“I must tell you, these things are far too old,” Tarasin admitted.

"Because of your destructive mining work, coupled with the destruction of Abaddon, the original function of the Blackrock Array can no longer be fulfilled, at least for the time being."

“I can only activate its shielding effect, but this is only a weakened version of the Exorcism Dead Zone—it can't directly make those unborn beings in the warp disappear.”

Kaul remained silent, countless streams of fragmented data flashing before his eyes. After a moment of silence, he spoke mechanically to Tarachin…

"Then, will the influence of subspace be reduced?"

"Yes, yes, at least time won't be wasted by them." Tarasin said playfully.

"However, I won't be involved in the work from now on. Another guy who doesn't talk much will take over everything."

"That's good," Caul said softly.

"Everything will be fine as long as the Emperor launches an attack."

……

The turbulent flow of the subspace makes time unstable, turning moments into eternity and long periods into instants.

As the Warmaster's ritual and the Eye of Fear erupted in Kadia, near the Eye of Fear, the galaxy's own time began to become highly unstable...

Just before Abaddon was about to create a replica of the "Siege of Terra," the presence of Blackrock disrupted the instability of the warp.

Eternal confinement cannot be formed, but the proportion of time passing still occurs.

For the Cardiacs, the war has lasted for less than three days since it began.

But for the outside world, three years have already passed!

During these three years, the human empire's expeditionary force was not entirely idle.

In fact, right after the Emperor returned and unified the empire's power, countless problems suddenly exploded like bombs that had been planted long ago!

First, along the edge of the hazy star field, a massive branch of the Leviathan hive fleet suddenly entered the Milky Way in the eastern part of the galaxy.

The far more powerful swarm invasion and warp shadows caused almost half of the Misty Starfield to lose contact almost immediately.

Then, news of the establishment of an orcish empire called Octarius suddenly tore apart the easternmost star field of the galaxy.

The orcs, who called themselves the Bonebreakers, led a huge number of "Ancient Orcs" and tore off a piece of the empire's territory in a very short time.

Either one of them would be a catastrophe on the level of a human survival crisis, and now they've both come together!

The original expeditionary force had to be divided as a result. Chagatai Khan led the White Scars and two-thirds of the Ultramarines to stop the Orc Empire, but even so he felt it was far from enough.

The Khan and his white scars were also people who started out fighting orcs. After obtaining relatively detailed intelligence, they determined that the situation was extremely dire.

Orcs are a group whose strength and war boss are determined by the size of the green tide. With such a huge size, the Bonecrusher is very likely to become the next "beast", or even surpass the one who almost strangled the Emperor during the Great Crusade (acting)!

Korax volunteered to investigate the Swarm's problems and find a way to stop them. As the Primarch with the purest awakened essence, he was the first to come into contact with the dense warp shadow—

He saw a very ominous sight.

According to Korax's eyes, what he glimpsed was a massive hive occupying the edge of the galaxy and frantically producing Tyranid swarms.

The only problem is that the monsters produced by that nest are all Tyranids with magnetic field power.

Who knows what would happen if an overwhelming swarm of magnetic field insects were allowed to invade the Empire? The Raven Lord volunteered to lead his legion to deal with the problem of the Broodmother.

Although Magnus broke free from Tzeentch's control and gained his soul under the Emperor's power... he and Loka still needed to remain at the Golden Throne to suppress the Web Path.

Guilliman, without a doubt, as regent, must be able to sit in the center of Terra and coordinate and command military and state affairs when the emperor is not present. Compared to his value on the battlefield, this is clearly the application that maximizes Guilliman's value.

The massive expeditionary force was forced to disperse at the moment of its formation due to the rise of enemies on all sides. In the end, only Leon, the "Warmaster," was able to go on the expedition to the Eye of Terror with the Emperor.

But that was enough; for this expedition, the Emperor was the cornerstone and the center of everything.

The Empire's allies—as promised, provided the Empire with network support during the expedition—were neither suited nor able to participate in the expedition itself.

The inappropriateness stems from the distrust between emperors and humans, regardless of whether this agreement from the gods is sacred and inviolable... but tens of thousands of years of hatred cannot simply be put to rest.

The reason why they cannot is naturally because the Eldar Empire and the Star Alliance they established are facing considerable challenges.

Led by Shadow Bilak, the demonic legion launched an invasion of Ulthuan, a city that almost became the fifth god of chaos, but was corrupted by the Mandrakes in the Web of the World.

The specific details are unknown, but it is certain that Kandurak, along with all the Mandrakes, accepted the embrace of the Chaos power and became a rare member of the Chaos Eldar.

Perhaps it's because in the newly established Eldar Empire, these Mandras, who are said to have demonic blood, have little standing...

It's also possible that Nagarond no longer needs the assistance of the Mandelas because of the new power it has acquired.

Or perhaps, the Lord Mandela failed to master the power of the magnetic field.

In short, the Mandras, unable to feel the power they once had, betrayed the Eldar and sided with Chaos...

Under Bilarak's plan, they attempted to ram and destroy Osuan with their network of cities.

Their plan failed. The Warlord slew Kandurak in a one-on-one duel, and the Sword of Kane drained the souls of every Eldar who had betrayed them…

The Eternal King then personally banished the power of Bilak and the seven Archdemons.

In the end, the Grim Reaper himself killed them completely!

The plot to destroy Ulthuan ended there, but the flames of war and the shadows never truly left this reborn Eldar empire.

Within the Covenant, many races that had reached a relationship of submission and cooperation with the Eldar had all experienced varying degrees of Chaos invasion.

From the massive Chaos Corruption within its borders to the invasion of the Astartes Warband, the flames of war spread across the nascent Covenant almost instantly.

As the second largest race in the Covenant after the Eldar, the Tau face the greatest crisis—due to the bloody reforms of Anthropology and Vision, the Tau had already experienced a severe social upheaval, and then they came into real contact with the corrupt empires of humans and Eldar…

The Tau people, who were the first to perceive the entirety of the galaxy, were constantly undergoing radical changes in their thinking.

Yes, after consulting with the experiences of humans and Eldar, Anthropoid believed that deceiving people about the truth of the world was a mistake... so he revealed the truth about the Warp with reservations.

Meanwhile, the conspiracy from the Lord of Change exploited the remnants of the Aetheric class who had been purged by the Anthraxe and the Foresight, triggering a significant civil war within the Tau race.

Some remnants of the Ether claim that Anthrax and Vision betrayed the Eldar and the interests of the Tau, calling them shameless traitors and tyrants, completely unaware of the chaotic elements behind this.

With civil war and the invasion of Chaos, Anshi was struggling to cope with everything... The greatest help he could offer was to refrain from asking the Eldar for assistance.

But just because the Tau race has the ability and skill to withstand the pressure doesn't mean other races have the same ability...

Faced with such a crisis, many alien races requested aid from Ulthuan... and the Eldar, who had just recovered from a civil war, had no choice but to send troops again.

Of course, the Eldar could have refused to assist these alien races... but if they did, the purpose and necessity of establishing the Covenant would be lost.

The Eldar need a sufficient number of subordinate races to help the sparsely populated Eldar fight against the future human empire... If they can't fulfill their role as the big brother at this time, then the Covenant has no reason to exist.

The troubles for the Eldar clearly don't end there; the Chaos Gods, especially the Slaanesh, would not want to see the rise of their former corrupt empire...

Therefore, in the short term, the Eldar cannot help the human empire and can only allow them to use the Web.

However, their unrest also diluted the chaotic invasion that the human empire would have otherwise faced.
