The darkness was crumbling and shattering like glass.
The light poured in like a flood, further widening the crack.
Asakami Shion suppressed the fear and panic in her heart.
Prayers directed to the Holy Emperor were recited with a pious spirit.
“Master of mankind, please have sympathy for my humble soul and show me the way forward.
Ruler of all worlds, please protect my soul and keep me from the harm of evil.
Holy Emperor, I am your warrior and your servant.
No hypocrisy, no lies, no conceit.
Remember hatred, maintain hostility, and accumulate anger.
Grant death to those who are unclean in your name.
Protect me, Holy Emperor, the only One I can trust.
... ... ... ..
Strong faith gives words unexpected power.
Power continued to surge from her body.
Filled her chest.
Let her whole body emit a strong light.
The dead with hideous smiles on their faces howled and retreated in front of her.
Their limbs melted away as they screamed.
The parents and brother cried and begged Asakami Shion not to treat them like that.
The terrible abyss was also shaking.
The terrible creature sleeping within was angry because it had been offended.
Angry because his food was taken away.
It is the source of darkness and despair.
An eternal and immortal existence.
Experienced the birth and death of countless universes.
Witnessing the heavens and myriad worlds appear and disappear again and again, appear and disappear again, repeating over and over again forever, returning to the origin which is not the origin.
Its wrath is enough to bring down thousands of worlds.
Just reading its name is enough to cause the souls of countless creatures to collapse and their sanity to be damaged.
If it appeared in the real universe, it would be enough to cause everything to collapse and become extinct.
No one has ever dared to rob it of its things like this.
The gods knelt humbly before it and prayed for salvation, begging for its terrible wrath not to come upon them.
Those powerful beings willingly become its servants, spreading its chaotic thoughts and sowing despair and suffering to every world, just to please it.
Now, some people are offending it.
Steal its food.
The abyss roared, and its terrifying power was enough to restart the universe, causing all things to collapse and evolve again.
But at this moment, there was nothing I could do.
The owner of that light is so powerful that she manifests herself in this world through her believers.
Created an area that was not under its control.
The faith of countless living beings blesses that ray of light, giving it immortal power and power that is above everything.
Her will is the law of the universe.
Her words are the pulse of the universe.
She is not the Creator, but she is far superior to the Creator.
"I am her sword, her messenger, her warrior."
The giant sickle appeared in Asakami Shion's hand.
A double-headed eagle with gold and blue interwoven and green as embellishment emerged from the black Gothic long skirt.
A three-petal emblem of gold, blue and green also appeared on her forehead.
Billions of voices rang out, singing for her and cheering for her.
The song was so sacred, filling people with strength and hope.
It enables people to move towards the future bravely.
She swung the scythe in her hand to drive away the last bit of darkness.
That was her fear, the nightmare that haunted her.
She fought against it countless times to prevent herself from falling into the eternal abyss.
Her faith in the Holy Emperor allowed her to anchor herself amidst the madness and chaos.
"My soul belongs to her, not to you, twisted false god. Go away. In the name of the one I serve, get out of here and leave me alone."
Asakami Shion shouted, her words were pious and full of conviction.
The dazzling light completely occupied everything, filling every part of Asakami Shion's soul and flesh.
She was bathed in light and everything was purified.
Only devout belief and burning mission.
The darkness was completely shattered, defeated and faded away by the light.
Asakami Shion walked into the world of light.
Everything is so holy.
Her bare feet stepped on the soft grass, and a crystal clear stream flowed happily beside her.
The scent of flowers filled her nostrils, along with the gentle rustle of leaves and the pleasant chirping of insects.
The sun touched her skin gently.
The trees were full of rich fruits.
The flowers are also in full bloom, so beautiful.
It's all so beautiful.
Countless creatures curled up like unborn fetuses, sleeping in the world of light with peaceful and tranquil expressions.
Sleeping under the trees, sleeping in the flowers, or sleeping in the big leaves, floating with the stream.
Shion Asakami also had an urge to fall asleep here.
However, there was a voice in her heart telling her that it was not time to fall asleep yet, as she still had her own mission to accomplish.
She followed the path as if she were being summoned.
There are some light balls with wings of light flying in the world of light.
Bring those lost souls into this special realm and let them choose a favorite place to sleep.
There were also balls of light surrounding Asakami Shion, making a childlike laugh.
When they got close enough, Shion Asakami could see that those balls of light were little children with wings.
With cute smiles on their faces, they performed various tumbling movements in the air.
"My comrades are still fighting, how can I abandon them!
”
A man with a worried look on his face was being led forward by a ball of light.
"Is my mission really over? I haven't helped her win the battle of Cadia yet. How can it end like this? My soul is too fragile. Why can't I be as strong as those warriors?"
Asakami Shion looked at the man, who was wearing a military uniform with a double eagle emblem engraved on it.
"You are too tired, Colonel Kraus. Fall asleep in the arms of the Holy Emperor. When the time is right, you will fight for her again." The ball of light that led the man sang happily, "Sleep, sleep, and recover your strength quickly. Don't be sad, and fall asleep quickly. The evil gods are watching the tired souls, and their claws are eager to drag the ignorant into the eternal abyss. Fall asleep quickly, only by recovering your strength can you fight against the evil whispers and the eternal darkness."
The singing had a soothing effect on the soul, and the man laughed.
"I understand. This is not the end of the mission, but a rest to gather strength. I will gather strength again, and I will return to the battlefield and serve him again."
The man no longer struggled or worried, but chose a quiet place and fell into a deep sleep.
Asakami Shion watched all this and a smile appeared on her face.
Will she one day come to this infinitely magnificent place and fall asleep
Asakami Shion kept walking forward, following the path at the call of her heart.
She saw countless sleeping people.
Their souls recover in their sleep.
Once they have accumulated enough strength, they will be awakened and devote themselves once again to her great cause.
She didn't know how long she had been walking.
There is no concept of time in this mysterious country.
No matter how long you walk, the sunshine is always there.
The light always shines everywhere.
Finally, Asakami Shion saw a magnificent giant city.
The huge city gleamed with beautiful golden light in the sun.
The walls, temples, columns and arch bridges are all built of white rocks.
The wide squares and fragrant gardens are sprinkled with fountains with colorful water columns.
Asakami Shion walked into the city.
The people inside were no longer sleeping, but were wearing armor and holding weapons, practicing combat skills.
They swore all sorts of oaths to fight for their emperor to the last moment.
Win wars between gods for her.
Asakami Shion walked among them, stepped onto the high stairs, and finally reached the highest point of the giant city.
A magnificent throne appeared at the end.
Extremely tall, towering into the clouds.
She was like a tiny ant looking up at the miracle built by a giant.
A creature in armor sat on it.
He lowered his head and looked down at Asakami Shion.
Those eyes shone like the sun, revealing sadness, genuine compassion, and kindness that loved the world.
She loved her much more than she believed in her.
Pure and selfless.
Just be glad that she was saved, without longing for her return.
Tears welled up in Shion Asakami's eyes. Her journey had come to an end and she met the person she had always longed to see.
She cried out, "My Lord."
The giant did not answer, but his eyes still showed kindness and love.
She slowly raised her arm and pointed behind Asakami Shion.
A huge gate of light opened behind her.
On the other side of the light gate was her broken, charred body.
There are also monsters crawling out of the ruins and high-level players.
A flash of lightning passed through Asagami Shion's brain.
Understood her orders and will.
Death was too much of a luxury for her.
The mission is not over yet.
With tears in her eyes, Shion Asagami gladly accepted her fate.
She will return to that world of suffering and fight for it until her great cause is accomplished.
She walked towards the light gate and then jumped out.
... ... ...
... ... ... ... ... ... .
Su Xiao crawled out of the ruins.
The shock on his face just wouldn't go away.
Just now, a series of light spears and torpedoes fell, turning the area where they were into ruins.
Only a few players survived.
Even the god that exuded a terrifying aura became decadent at this moment.
This ambush on the empire can be said to have caused heavy losses but little gain.
The original plan was to execute the traitors and then seize the battleship hovering in low-Earth orbit.
Who could have imagined that a series of unexpected events would occur.
The Heavenly God Temple was in the lead, with two other player forces of the same level as advisors, but in the end they suffered heavy casualties and were in a miserable state.
The only result was killing those damn traitors.
Those shameful idiots who acted as guides for the invaders.
However, something unexpected happened to the charred corpse.
The charred, lifeless corpse floated in the air.
A crack appeared.
Light was released from it.
The ruins began to shake.
The monster that claimed to be a god made a sound of fear.
“What’s going on!
"Su Xiao stared at all this in amazement. He tightly grasped the blood-stained ancient sword, ready to cut through the void and escape at any time.
The corpse trembled in the air.
The broken, charred face raised itself up and looked at them.
There is a terrible will that is transcending everything and injecting into this body.
It's like breaking out of a cocoon and being reborn.
The black coke broke apart like a shell, peeled off, and fell to the ground.
Several players had expressions of fear on their faces.
On the warship, several detectors also discovered something unusual.
"This is the glory of Her Majesty," a priest said excitedly, "May she bless them. That devout believer has been chosen to be her messenger and the spokesman of her will."
The captain stared at the gauge with the jumping readings.
The machine spirit sings in joy, cheering the coming of its creator's will.
Many wise men chant the names of those they serve.
She is the immortal Lord of Humanity.
She is the one who guides people in the direction they are heading.
She is the divine emperor, destined to rule over the universe.
The monster also noticed something was wrong and tried to completely eliminate the opponent before he was resurrected.
However, it could not move.
The charred corpse shone with light and the sacred flame rose.
Beneath the charred shell lies fair and smooth skin.
Flesh and bones are being rebuilt, new blood is flowing.
The pure and flawless naked body was enveloped in light, without any sign of harm.
She opened her eyes, and there was fire in them.
The light turned into her black Gothic dress, covering her graceful and perfect body.
The sickle appeared in the flames, shining with the brilliance of a thousand suns combined.
"I am her messenger, the embodiment of her will." Asakami Shion said, "You fools, you have chosen the wrong opponent."
The monster made a shrill sound.
Its body dissolved in the unbearable light.
Su Xiao felt fear in his heart.
The ancient sword in his hand also made a mournful sound.
The owner of the light holds supreme power. Even the will of the ancient sword is afraid and retreats before the sacred light.
The monster that claimed to be God wailed in despair and was in great pain.
Its tentacles waved wildly, and the huge city destroyed by the Imperial orbital bombardment was trembling.
The seams of reality were torn open.
A realm of madness, insanity, and endless darkness has descended.
In the surging darkness, countless suffering souls are screaming.
Countless terrifying scenes emerged.
That is God's realm and the manifestation of His power.
"In the name of my Lord, false god, you are sentenced to extinction." There was a sense of holiness in Asakami Shion's words, and the flawless, pure smile she had in the past appeared on her face.
She had escaped from that eternal nightmare.
She has gained the power to fight against those abominations.
Her heart has been filled with pure faith and ideals, and will no longer be overwhelmed by fear and despair.
She no longer needs to use madness and killing to cover up her cowardice and fear.
The false god's territory collapsed with her words.
The monster screamed even more desperately.
Asakami Shion wielded the sickle that emitted a strong light, completely cutting everything in half and putting an end to eternity.
A light brighter than a million suns combined drowned the monster.
The desperate and dying wail resounded throughout the entire space, and was then drowned out by the shattering of space.
The god summoned his own realm and tried to escape.
But it was shattered by a blow from Asakami Shion.
It is dead too.
To be eternally destroyed, with no possibility of resurrection.
Asakami Shion returned to the real world.
Standing on the glazed surface.
Orbital bombardment turned the eerie city into glass.
it's all over.
She died, and returned to the world at the will of the Holy Emperor to fulfill her mission.
The darkness that enveloped the world also disappeared without a trace.
The sun shines down from the sky, making it clear.
All darkness was banished.
Asakami Shion also had a clear, kind smile on her face.
She had redeemed herself from her sins and no longer felt the fear and terror of that horrible nightmare.
Those dreams and the deaths of her family members tormented her.
Fortunately, at that time she got help from Qiu Chen and gained faith.
This belief gave her an anchor during her subsequent madness and confusion, preventing her from being lost in the abyss of pain and torture.
There was a bright light in the air.
The armored giants appeared.
Their bodies were extremely large, and their helmets emitted the scarlet light of visual devices.
Armed with a giant bolter and melee weapon engraved with blessed runes.
One of them walked up to Asakami Shion, looked at her for a moment, then took off his helmet, revealing his weathered face.
"It seems that you have obtained the grace of His Majesty. Congratulations, girl, you are already a pure saint."
"The glory of our Lord protects every warrior." Asakami Shion said, "I believe you have also seen that holy country and felt her kind and loving eyes."
The Chapter Master smiled.
A sacred flame composed of three colors: gold, blue and green also flashed in his eyes.
... ...
... ... ... ... ... ... .
Lidya Su was so frightened that his face turned pale.
The ancient sword saved him again.
Let him cut through the void and escape from the battlefield.
It's so scary.
A god died just like that.
"It looks like there is no hope for the reincarnation game." Su Xiao muttered to himself, "If I continue to follow those idiots in the reincarnation game, I will definitely end up like Xiao Tian one day."
Su Xiao swore that he would never forget the scene of Xiao Tian, the creator of the Temple of Heaven, being cut into four pieces by a sickle.
So brutal and horrible.
This can't go on any longer.
I need to change my life. The reincarnation game is a piece of shit." Su Xiao cursed, and threw away all the memories of worshipping the reincarnation game in the past.
It just appears powerful, mysterious and cold in front of mortals like them.
Facing enemies of the same level, Samsara’s performance was no better than any ancient king Su Xiao knew.
When the halo of worship fades.
The reincarnation game also looked crude and ugly in Su Xiao's eyes.
He reflected on why he was fighting for that damn game.
"As long as I stand on the side of the winner, I will be a member of the winner." Su Xiao whispered, "Let me think of a good way to join the empire."
"With my qualifications, I will definitely stand out in the empire. I will climb up step by step until I reach the top, the one that everyone looks up to."
... ...
... ... ... ... ... ..
The Invincible Truth.
"That was a very chaotic time. We had just realized the existence of Chaos at that time. Father kept it from us too deeply. He did not want us to understand and know those things. After the Horus Heresy, we had a certain understanding of it, but we could not say that we understood it completely. We only knew some general ideas."
"Perhaps you think I am blaming him, but I am not. Only those who understand Chaos know that my father's actions are correct. Any talk about those creatures will increase their power. At that time, there was no firewall. Those monsters could draw power from human thoughts and souls. Those who abused psychic power could even become the other party's channel to enter the real universe. There was no means to protect those people."
"Unlike now, with the protection of the firewall, people can use psionic spells freely and even establish a professional system for studying the warp. This was unimaginable before."
"We set out on the road to support Terra in confusion and ignorance. The hardship of that road is unimaginable. The moment the unprecedented storm of destruction forced us into the warp, we had to leave, otherwise we would be pulled into the terrible storm and lose our way. Even the void was boiling with terrible evil, obscuring the brilliance of the stars. When you look up at the starry sky, you can't see anything, even the nearest stars have disappeared in the darkness."
"Navigation under such circumstances is a dangerous matter. We can only use various unauthorized means to carry out the mission. Guilliman captured the enemy's navigators and forced them to lead the way for him. I used an artifact made by Chaos to guide the way."
"We also encountered a corrupted Forge World along the way. Planets were transformed into incubus-like forms, continents became mouths, and mountains became teeth, just like the countless strange sights seen in the Warp. Although we were in physical space, it felt like we were in the Warp. Using it as an anchor, the gods built a terrible portal that blocked the way to Davin. We destroyed it completely."
"The real test took place on the planet Daven. That world was wrapped in corpses. There were skeletons everywhere, not just human ones, but also various aliens and broken statues encountered during the Great Crusade. There was no trace of any living people there. It was like a graveyard of everything, with only a huge temple standing there."
"We had a dispute there. I thought we should destroy the planet with cyclonic torpedoes, which might open the way to Terra. Sanguinius thought we should be more cautious. In the end, he chose to seek the advice of Curze, the traitorous Night Haunter, who had the same ability of foresight as him."
"I was furious at the time. Sanguinius released Curze and tried to bring that guy to Davin. I had people prepare orbital bombardment, planning to kill Davin and Sanguinius at the same time."
"I was just one step away from committing that terrible crime and killing one of my brothers and those loyal warriors who fought for the empire. I can imagine what the consequences would be if I did that. The gods would laugh horribly and celebrate my fall and my father's failure."
"When I came to my senses, I realized that the gods of the warp not only seduced our rebellious brother, but also seduced everyone. Once we succumb to the darkness in our hearts, we will fail and become their slaves and puppets."
Kakar recorded Ryan's words.
From these words, he glimpsed a true Primarch.
He grieved over his brother's fall.
You will make wrong decisions because of anger.
They will also be affected by the warp and try to kill their brothers.
This kind of thing is terrible.
The corruption of the Warp is everywhere.
People in the world must beware of the darkness within themselves.
"Sanguinius rushed into the temple on Davin, where he was tempered and fought against the demons who tried to tempt him. Our fleet was also attacked by those living warships. The demons besieged Sanguinius, cut him to the ground, and asked him to choose life or death. The gods hoped that he could become an angel of destruction and receive the blessing of chaos. In that case, he would become more powerful than Horus."
“
You should choose to live, because your death is meaningless. "The demon raised his weapon and threatened Sanguinius, forcing him to accept the power of the gods. But Sanguinius was very tough. He could not betray his companions, his father, and the people who sought salvation from him. He repeated to the demon over and over again, "Then I will choose to die. Tell your masters that I spit on them."
"Sanguinius chose to die, and the demons were furious and wanted to execute him. A Holy Blood Warrior named Sanguinius rushed forward, knocked the enemy away, and sacrificed himself to save Sanguinius. He was able to pick up his weapon again and defeat the demons. Then we destroyed the entire planet, and the Ruinstorm was ended."
"The stars reappeared in our sight, communication was restored, and we also knew what had happened. Horus's rebellion tore the Imperium apart and the entire galaxy was ablaze. In order to deal with these enemies, we had to act separately. Sanguinius returned to Terra to strengthen the defenses of the loyalists and launched the subsequent battles of Beta-Garmon, delaying the speed of Horus's advance. Guilliman used the Five Hundred Worlds to provide backup and attacked the enemy's various defenses with all his strength. I went to the enemy's home planet and those worlds that dared to provide weapons, equipment and supplies to the rebels to clean up."
"Horus relied on his cunning to gain the upper hand. However, our efforts gradually erased his advantage and narrowed the gap between the two sides. The following battle was the final end of the Great Crusade and the most tragic battle for the Imperium of Mankind."
"What battle?" Kakar asked.
"The Battle of Terra." Ryan said in a low voice: "The cruelty of that battle was far beyond imagination..."
The electronic sound interrupted the conversation between the two.
A beautifully decorated cherubim with metal wings floated in the air.
"Lord Ryan." The cherubim's bony jaw was cast closed, and the captain's voice came out from the brass voice box, crackling.
"I'm sorry to interrupt you," the captain continued, "but we are getting close to our target. In another three hours, we will reach Scott Strait, which is guarded by the Necrons. It is an important passage to Cadia."
"I understand. I'll go to the bridge later," Ryan said.
"Do you need to summon other commanders, sir?"
"nature."
"Okay, I'll notify them to come to the bridge."
The Cherubim turned and flew to where it should be, in a small alcove.
"I wanted to finish what I was saying, but unfortunately," Ryan said, standing up.
Kakar bowed and saluted. "That's no pity, sir. I will wait patiently until you have enough free time to summon me again."
"I will." After saying this, Lai En pressed a floating button on the table.
A warrior comes in and takes Kakkar away.
After he was ready, he went to the bridge.
A new battle is about to begin.
... ... ...
... ... ... ... ... ... ..
A star was destroyed.
It is a dwarf star that has been burning for more than 7 billion years and has a diameter of 2.3 million km.
It burns hydrogen into helium through nuclear fusion reactions deep in its core.
It generates energy at an incredible rate and then radiates it into space.
Providing sufficient light and heat to the planets in this galaxy provides a necessary condition for the reproduction of life.
If it weren't for the black pyramids and crescent-shaped spacecraft floating around it, it could have provided light and heat to the planet for at least 10 billion years.
Stars constantly emit bursts of intense electromagnetic reactions.
These surging electromagnetic reactions converge into waves, forming giant storms that can be seen from outer space.
Created a circular magnetic field with a diameter of 300,000 km.
It also created an expanding sunspot in the star's corona.
The active magnetic field continues to grow and explodes upward on the surface of the star, forming a huge fountain of fire.
It has a diameter of 50,000 kilometers and the temperature of the solar material ejected is as high as millions of degrees.
It seemed as if a brilliant fire tree had grown on the surface of the star.
A shining halo formed by powerful electromagnetic energy waves and plasma eruptions flew along a winding path towards the pyramid suspended in space.
The top of the pyramid is golden, while the rest of the pyramid is constructed of shiny obsidian.
It continuously absorbs the energy and particle flow of the star and converts it into usable material.
On the outside of the pyramid, the densely packed scarab eyes and e-energy cores were shining with green light.
They use their mechanical prosthetic limbs to perform their work.
The pyramid is not yet finished.
Under the Imperial attack, the Silent King revived some lost technologies.
Those technologies could no longer be used without the help of the Star God.
The Cancer Legion completed those technologies for them.
Yog-Sothoth is known as an eternal being who is omniscient and omnipotent.
Nature also possesses knowledge that is unimaginable to the world at large.
Although the Star God's technology is advanced, it is not too difficult for it.
Through the incarnation of Horus, it transferred this knowledge to the Silent King as a gesture of sincerity in the alliance and to enhance the strength of the coalition.
Yog-Sothoth holds an immense amount of knowledge.
Unfortunately, its followers have not been able to build an effective industrial system.
The industrial system requires an orderly civilization.
In a universe controlled by Yog-Sothoth, those creatures will slowly go crazy under its influence.
Even if it does nothing, it will drive them crazy.
Naturally, there would be no civilization to speak of.
Without civilization, there would naturally be no industrial system.
Without an industrial system, how could it be possible to create something with such a sophisticated division of labor
ps: It may be quite long, so I will write this paragraph first during this period of preparation.
