"I understand, father." Calgar knelt on one knee and saluted, then stood up again.

Guilliman did not react much.

He stared at the screen in front of him, which displayed various information about the Spirit of Vengeance and the artillery coverage indicator.

Of course, if the distance between the two ships is calculated based on their respective speeds, it is very close.

It only takes a few minutes for them to come together.

However, it is far from being expressed in human terms.

It is tens of thousands of kilometers away, enough to circle Terra several times.

At such a long distance, no details of the Spirit of Vengeance could be seen.

There was only a dot of light floating on the screen, with the data of the Spirit of Vengeance jumping next to it.

Guilliman stroked his second in command beside the throne, pondering Abaddon's possible counterattack.

During the Great Crusade, Abaddon was merely the Captain of Horus's First Company.

His status is completely incomparable to that of the primarchs such as Labour and Fulgrim.

No one would have thought that this former captain of the first company would become the chosen one favored by the Chaos Gods after Horus defeated the Emperor.

Such an experience is worthy of being the protagonist of a cool novel.

Guilliman had to tread carefully.

What he feared was not Abaddon, but the guys standing behind Abaddon.

Abaddon was merely their spokesman.

Anyone who despises the gods will pay an unimaginable price.

Being careful is the best policy.

In order to create the illusion that he is not in the Nakmond Corridor.

Guilliman placed the Macragge's Glory in the Baal system.

All of this was designed to bring out Abaddon.

Let’s catch the turtle in the jar.

Karga stood up again.

He glanced at his genetic father, who was immersed in thought.

Karga didn't ask any more questions.

Plans to hunt Abaddon had been made months in advance.

Now is his chance to perform.

Abaddon suffered a crushing defeat.

This time, if he dares to take the initiative to challenge, he must have a backup plan.

The Imperial Regent will not take action immediately.

I must first force Abaddon to reveal his trump card.

Guilliman will only take action if he is unable to deal with the opponent's trump card.

Calgar turned and walked out of the bridge and onto the landing deck.

Abaddon will pay the price for his hubris.

He thought he could win the battle on Red Earth Star by using the conspiracy of luring the tiger away from the mountain.

But the ending is already determined.

This time, everything will be lost.

... ... ..

... ... ... ... ... ... ..

The best Primaris warriors drawn from various chapters have been assembled.

The troops selected for this operation are all veterans with rich combat experience.

A secondary Primaris upgrade has been performed.

They possess all kinds of incredible fighting abilities, and each of them is a powerful figure who can fight against a hundred people alone.

Wearing Terminator armor made using the latest Martian technology.

Thousands of technical experts and ordinary crew members are making pre-war preparations for them.

With a rumbling sound, an arms train came from the lower deck.

The slaves with mechanical arms unloaded the heavy ammunition and distributed it to their masters.

The priest strode through the gaps between the warriors and listened to their sacred oaths.

The oath was affixed to their armor with wax and sealed with a sacred iron seal with a hissing sound.

Every member of the regiment, whether mortal or superhuman, is completing their work in a tense and efficient manner.

Calgar walked down the corridor, his tall and majestic figure particularly conspicuous.

Seeing his appearance, many Primaris warriors all showed determined looks.

This time, their mission is to raid the Spirit of Vengeance.

Everyone knows what this means.

That terrifying battleship.

It has witnessed the glory and sorrow of mankind.

The Emperor once stood alongside Horus aboard the Vengeful Spirit.

Many Primarchs gathered in that magnificent hall.

In addition to these, it also witnessed the evil conspiracy of Erebus.

Witnessed Horus' betrayal.

Witnessed the fight between brothers and the death of Sanguinius.

He witnessed the fratricide between father and son, the killing of Horus, and the death of the Emperor due to his injuries.

Now, they will shape the future.

The future of humanity was lost aboard the Vengeful Spirit.

Now, they want to take it back.

"The flames of war have been ignited, and the gods are laughing wildly." Calgar looked at everyone and said in a low voice, "Humanity has drawn its sword. For the survival of our race, we must not let Guilliman down. In this battle, we must kill Abaddon and seize the Spirit of Vengeance."

Many soldiers did not speak, only had firm eyes.

They had already sworn an oath of loyalty.

Even if I die, I will have no regrets.

They will recreate the heroic deeds of the heroes of the past who stormed the Vengeful Spirit, slayed the enemies, and restored the glory of mankind.

"Teleport, act according to the plan, and each team must complete their tasks." Calgar said nothing more.

These are all the elite soldiers of the empire who emerged from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Death - they are already accustomed to it.

Loyalty has long been engraved in their blood.

Without any words of encouragement, they would willingly die for the survival of the empire and the future of mankind.

A loud rumbling sound came from the transmission platform, and the mysterious transmission machinery seemed to be singing and shouting in chorus.

The entire deck was noisy from the vibrations of the machinery.

The sounds mixed together and became stronger and stronger.

With a strong flash of light, a light gate opened on the deck.

The Empire's teleportation technology is no longer what it used to be.

By distorting the structure of space, the space of the Spirit of Vengeance and the Laurel of Victory was folded.

This special state is like four dimensions superimposed on three dimensions.

Imperial warriors can jump to any location on the Vengeful Spirit.

Unfortunately, under the influence of the evil power of the subspace.

This fold did not last long, but it was enough for them to complete the teleportation.

The warriors who had been prepared walked into the light gate.

According to their different tasks, they were teleported to different areas.

The power room, the armory, and the energy node, while Calgar's landing point was the bridge.

There is protection from evil forces.

He and his men were escorted to the Avenue de Triomphe.

It was a giant road that ran through the battleship, with railroad tracks and various military facilities laid out.

The Spirit of Vengeance is twenty-six kilometers long and nearly eight kilometers high.

It can be said to be a suspended metal battleship city.

The network for transporting materials is also extremely large and complex.

Calgar stood firm on the Triumphal Avenue of the Vengeful Spirit. The Primaris warriors who moved with him formed a defensive formation with heavy shields and grenade launchers to avoid sudden attacks.

The Spirit of Vengeance is shrouded in darkness.

The vision devices on their helmets and the super senses gained from the Primaris upgrades allow them to see in the dark.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Karga showed an unsightly expression.

The changes to the Vengeful Spirit were like the whispers of a deadly nightmare.

After becoming the Chapter Master of the Ultramarines, Calgar experienced countless battles.

He has walked the surfaces of worlds corrupted by the uncleanness of Chaos.

I have also glimpsed the abyss of evil through the cracks in the flesh and blood created by the witches' evil magic.

That is hell, a scene that only exists in the depths of the eternal horror of the warp.

The Vengeful Spirit is a corner of the warp.

The twisted flesh, scattered bones, and the strange faces that appeared on the walls all made people deeply aware of how terrifying this hell is.

The warriors following Calgar checked the surrounding environment.

Holding the shield and battle axe tightly, he was alert to possible attacks.

The shared channel was broadcasting a signal that everything was safe.

The blinding light shone from the armor.

Illuminating the silhouette inside the ship.

The Wolf Priest Jace showed a solemn expression and spoke first, "There is a terrifying power of the Warp hidden here. It is not easy to cut off its connection with the Warp."

"What we have to do is never easy." Karga said, "Go ahead, we need to find that damned traitor. This time, he has no way to escape."

The power armor's built-in thinker system automatically highlights key locations and sources of threats.

Calgar took a casual look.

The improved brain can process a large amount of war information at the same time.

This suit of armor is brand new and has a teleportation coordinate anchored inside it.

As long as Calgar initiates a call for help, this coordinate will save him.

The Gene Father will respond to his call for help within seconds.

The Avenue de Triomphe has long since changed beyond all recognition and no longer has the grandeur and magnificence it once had.

The former glory has faded, and is now dominated by a deep darkness.

The light emitted from the imperial warriors was swallowed up by the darkness before it lasted long, leaving only a layer of bleak silver edge on the edges of surrounding objects.

Objects within sight are blurry, details are unclear, and it is difficult to judge the distance.

Fortunately, these warriors have been upgraded by the Primaris, and they possess powers and abilities comparable to those of demigods.

Calgar learned of the Vengeful Spirit's former glory from those ancient texts.

At that time, the Vengeful Spirit, the flagship of the Warmaster, was a perfect exhibition hall of human art.

Sculptures and paintings created by countless artists who have devoted their entire lives to the creation of these works are lined up on both sides of the avenue.

Now, everything is gone.

There was only flesh wriggling on the walls and heads and bones hanging from the ceiling.

They howled and whispered.

Those heads would open their eyes from time to time and stare at these reckless invaders.

Humans who dared to step onto this ship either died miserably or went mad in endless torture.

Calgar walked in front, his electronic prosthetic eye emitting a faint scarlet light, which was particularly conspicuous in the darkness.

The Primaris warriors followed Calgar closely, their minds steadfast.

In the process of sacred transformation from mortal to superman and then to demigod, he achieved sublimation.

After years of training, he overcame the influence of fear.

"Sir, we have arrived at the designated location." A voice mixed with strange laughter, screams and electrical noise sounded in the encrypted communication channel.

"Very good, let's proceed according to the plan. John." Calgar responded while moving.

"I know that the Raven Guard will complete the mission perfectly."

"The Revenge Squad has also entered the designated location. There are some evil creatures from the subspace here." Another voice sounded, and the coordinates of the fifteenth deck below were displayed on Calga's personal display.

The communications were punctuated by the fierce roar of grenade launchers and the roar of melta weapons that seared the air.

"Be careful, Laiya, can you reach the energy core area at the specified time?" asked Calgar.

"The Nova Corps will not let anyone down, Lord Calgar, please believe us."

... ... ..

... ... ... ... ... .

A series of communications came in.

The teams soon ran into the enemy head-on.

The sounds of fighting and battle echoed over the communications.

Soon, Calgar also faced his first wave of enemies.

They were a group of armed slaves.

Karga and his men slaughtered them all easily.

They then encountered beastmen and mutants, as well as the ghosts that roamed the Vengeful Spirit.

The extent to which the Spirit of Vengeance has been affected by the power of the Warp has become terrifying, and the strange whispers have become increasingly intense.

It was extremely strange, yet full of malice, and becoming clearer and clearer.

Even if the Primaris warriors turned off their communications, it would still echo in their ears.

The corridor under my feet became soft, like skin, and very slimy and moist.

Those malignant growths were extremely large and connected together, scattered throughout the corridors and cabins like cancer cells.

The tall explosion-proof door grew teeth and its twisted face screamed.

However, none of this stopped Calgar and others.

They destroyed any evil they saw.

Defeat all the Chaos Warriors that escape.

The beastmen and mutants all fell under their anger and attacks.

At the end of the corridor is a hall.

There are traces of blasphemy everywhere.

Those glorious symbols had been completely obliterated by the Sons of Horus.

There were traces of those traitorous masters everywhere.

The statue comes alive when left alone in the dark.

What is applied to a painting is not paint.

The fire pan burned with strange blue-green flames.

And the decorations were either swallowed up by the living carpet or submerged in the slime that seeped from the walls.

The whole ship has changed.

Sharp edges and spikes can be found on objects everywhere.

Many rotting corpses were hung on rusty iron hooks everywhere, maintaining the painful postures they had in life.

When the doors blew open, Abaddon was standing on his throne in the hall.

Erebus stood beside him.

In addition, there is a group of warriors blessed by demons.

Their bodies are twisted, their power cannot be underestimated, and they can destroy everything.

"I didn't expect that we would meet so soon." Abaddon looked at Calgar who came out of the smoke and dust with a mocking smile.

"Today is the day you pay the price, Abaddon. You will not have the chance to escape like last time. Today is your end." Calgar stared at the traitors and roared like a lion.

He was still holding a Chaos Warrior that had just tried to attack him from the wall.

That damn unlucky guy was beaten to death by him.

"Really?" Abaddon's face was nonchalant, and his sinister tone revealed confidence. "You are like a fool, Calgar. You were fooled. Do you think you have a chance to walk out after entering the Spirit of Vengeance? Don't dream anymore, Calgar. You are destined to die here."

"But you still have a chance. Kneel down and declare your submission to the gods, and you will have a chance to survive."

"I hope you won't run so fast like last time that I couldn't catch up with you even in my battleship." Calga said sarcastically.

Abaddon's face darkened.

He stood up, and the Claw of Horus in his hand reflected a cold light in the light, which made people feel particularly nervous.

“I hope you’ll have the last laugh this time.”

Calgar stared at Abaddon. "I will not have the last laugh. I will laugh wildly, because only a fool like you would set such a trap. The prey sets the trap, but it is still the prey."

"That's not necessarily true." Abaddon leaped up and swung the Claw of Horus in his hand towards Calgar.

Calgar activated the power fists in both hands and smashed forward.

A terrifying shock wave of power was created, visible to the naked eye, forming a circle and sweeping in all directions.

Those strange creatures were howling, it was extremely terrifying.

The other warriors also raised their battle cries.

The two sides fought each other.

... ... ... ..

... ... ... ... ... ...

Red Earth Star.

Hong Suo stood at the edge of the battlefield, looking at the human position protected by the purple-blue light shield, with a solemn look on his face.

Just a little bit more.

Victory is only one step away.

"We have invested all the demon eggs, sir, but the resistance of the human empire is extremely fierce. We are fighting them in every street, and the progress is very slow." Hong Suo's right-hand man, the Iron Warrior Samukuan, walked up to Hong Suo and said.

"Not even close." Hong Suo shook his head and said, "The human empire's defense is like a bullet. The more the defense line shrinks, the more we have to pay. They are defending Red Earth to the death, and all we have to do is smash their delusions with an iron fist. Everything is over, and it will end on Red Earth."

"We have to increase our efforts. We are only one step away from victory. We must not miss this opportunity." Cole Phaeron also spoke. There was a shocking scar on his body, which was left when he tried to lead the Word Bearers to break through the Imperial lines.

"Soon, everything will be as you wish. Huron has arrived with the Black Stone Fortress and the Planet Killer. We will soon razed this planet." Hong Suo said in a serious tone, "The Empire will lose this battle. They have no hope anymore."

"Let's hurry up. I can hardly contain my excitement. Victory is calling us." Cole Fallon said.

... ... ... ... ...

... ... ... ... ... ... ... .

On the Spirit of Vengeance.

The battle between the Karl family and Abaddon was extremely fierce.

After the last disastrous defeat, Abaddon strengthened himself.

However, under Calga's terrifying offensive, he was defeated step by step and was in a miserable state.

He was also hit hard on the head by the other party.

The huge force made him dizzy, his head was covered in blood, he staggered two steps and fell to the ground.

The magic sword in his hand also fell out, making a crisp sound of impact.

The twisted magic sword Drachanian made a sharp sound, venting his anger at his host's incompetence.

"Prepare to die, Abaddon. Today is the day you pay the price." Calgar roared, his iron fists crackling as he stepped towards the fallen Abaddon, intent on beating the empire's chief rebel to death.

"You are dreaming, Calgar." Abaddon's eyes were blurred by blood, but he was not afraid at all and showed a hint of evil smile. "The time of death has come, Calgar, you will be the first martyr of the human empire."

Karga didn't say anything else. He took two steps and suddenly jumped up. The iron fist in his hand crackled and arcs of electricity surged.

But the next second, Calgar, who jumped up and was about to launch the final attack, was fixed in the air.

An invisible force seized him.

An unknown concept target has been detected. The target has rewritten the space rules and the host has been fixed.

Parsing

Parsing failed

Requesting more computing power, the parser is restarting

Parsing failed

Can't understand, can't analyze, can't solve

This concept is anti-light energy, anti-psychic energy, and anti-biological energy, and cannot be analyzed through reality and the subspace.

Karga showed a trace of panic.

The harsh sound kept echoing in his mind.

The Emperor's Angels battle engines were analyzing the forces controlling him, but to no avail.

This concept is denying the host's space-time data and establishing a logical confrontation.

The resistance failed, the host's space-time data is being erased

It is estimated that the data will be damaged in 20 seconds. The deleted data cannot be recovered. The emergency assistance procedure has been initiated.

Support still takes five seconds to enter the battlefield

... ... ... ... ... .

Karga tried to move his body, but found that he could do nothing.

Even though he was just a warrior, after staying with Guilliman for so long, Calgar had heard about and understood some advanced scientific and technological knowledge.

In the Golden Age, our ancestors mastered the technology to erase the data of all things.

As long as you use those creations, you can erase certain things permanently.

Not even a trace of the subspace will be left.

How could Chaos traitors like Abaddon possess such terrifying power

"Such a powerful force is simply unbelievable." Erebas looked at Calga who was controlled by him.

The powerful and arrogant Chapter Master of the Ultramarines was played around by himself.

As long as he had a thought, the other party would be completely wiped out.

The power of that god is so terrifying.

No less than those few.

Erebas smiled, perhaps he could use this opportunity to establish contact with the other party.

The benefits to him would be unimaginable. Perhaps he could even become the other party's dependent in this universe and master the secret of becoming a god.

"I told you that today is the day you die." Abaddon looked at the controlled Calgar, climbed up with difficulty, and showed a ferocious smile. "Do you think that I will not hold back when I let you board the Spirit of Vengeance? The power of an evil god is sealed in Erebus' body. What can you use to fight us, Calgar?"

"This day next year will be the anniversary of your death, Karga. Cry and beg me, maybe I will spare your life, you poor unfortunate creature."

He held the magic sword Drachanion in his hand, and was ready to use this terrible weapon to absorb the opponent's soul and make him suffer countless tortures.

"Do you think you are the only one who has a backup plan?"

Following Karga's voice, a strong flash of light appeared in the hall.

The incomparable will that is enough to shake the stars and the universe descends in light.

Countless demons screamed.

They cried and tried to flee, but were suppressed by that will.

His body was melting quickly like dirty snow under the scorching sun.

Many traitors also made painful noises.

They felt as if a blue giant star suddenly appeared in front of them, and their eyes were burned by the terrible light.

One of the traitors staggered to the ground in fear, his mouth trembling and mumbling strange words.

"Blue...blue...sun."
