Chapter 477: The Blazing Emperor’s Sword! The Second Great Crusade!

Once, the Sword of Slaanesh controlled the demon Fulgrim to kill Ferrus, and now it “killed” the demon Fulgrim again while avoiding the Hearthbreaker.

Fulgrim looked at the Sword of Slaanesh in his hand with disbelief. It turned out that what Fulgrim said was true. He had never truly controlled the sword from the beginning to the end.

From the very beginning he had become a slave to this evil sword.

Puff-!
Fulgrim suddenly pulled out the Blade of the Hearthbreaker. The gushing black blood and the hideous wounds made the demon Fulgrim feel unprecedented fear. He wanted to roar.

But the only response he got was the gurgling of blood and the hoarse and strange screams, and he was unable to speak for a while.

Immediately, the demon Fulgrim turned around and ran. He knew that it would be difficult for him to fight against the opponent after being injured. To be on the safe side, he decided to return to the subspace to heal his wounds first.

But how could Fulgrim miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? He took advantage of the opportunity and inflicted several horrific wounds on the injured demon Fulgrim.

Logically speaking, it is difficult for ordinary swords to cause any substantial damage to the demon Fulgrim, after all, he has been strengthened by the blessing of Slaanesh.

But the Blade of the Hearthbreaker in Fulgrim’s hand broke through the defense with every blow, and the demon Fulgrim cried out in pain. He was still struggling to hold on, wanting to leave the real universe as soon as possible.

Although this Furnace Breaker is extremely sharp, it is still difficult to kill a subspace entity demon, at least it does not have the function of killing with one blow.

As long as the demon Fulgrim can hold on a little longer, Fulgrim will be unable to do anything to him.

However, just when the demon Fulgrim was about to escape with his own skills, he saw that Fulgrim behind him had an extra sword.

It was a long sword burning with blazing flames, reflecting a golden luster. The demon Fulgrim had seen this sword before, and it was his unforgettable nightmare – the Sword of the Emperor!
“There is no scum like you in Chemos. Now I will personally end your so-called perfection.”

Fulgrim held the Emperor’s Sword tightly in his hand. Chemos was his home planet and also the home planet of the demon Fulgrim. However, after the Horus Heresy, Chemos was destroyed by the Empire.

The one who caused all these tragedies was the demon Fulgrim who defected to Slaanesh.

Looking at the Emperor’s Sword in Fulgrim’s hand, the demon Fulgrim realized that the other party did not come alone, and he had helpers nearby!

Fulgrim was not wrong in his guess. Not far away, Horus was watching the battle. In order to ensure that the demon Fulgrim could be completely killed, he also brought the Emperor’s sword.

In the Warhammer 40K universe, the Emperor used this sword to kill the powerful Horus. The demon Fulgrim also witnessed the battle.

So Fugen was very clear about how powerful this sword was.

Even the powerful Horus, the Chosen One of the Four Gods, died under the Sword of the Emperor, let alone him.

Soon, Horus appeared on his own initiative. The moment he saw Horus, the demon Fulgrim’s brain completely shut down.

Didn’t Horus die on Terra ten thousand years ago? How could he be resurrected? Could it be that the God-Emperor has the ability to recreate the Primarch… This is impossible!

“No, this must be an illusion, there is no way you are still alive!” The demon Fugen gritted his teeth, but the fear had already made his whole body tremble uncontrollably.

“You scum of the empire, if Fulgrim hadn’t begged me, I would have executed you today!”

Horus looked at the other person with cold eyes. The tragedy of this universe was caused by himself, so it was up to him to end it. It was his responsibility to kill the remaining demon primarchs.

However, the other Primarch brothers were also eager to try and hope to kill their own demon Primarch, so Horus had to act as the executioner and watch his brothers do their work behind the scenes.

Horus’s individual combat capability is of course unquestionable, otherwise the Four Chaos Gods would not have chosen him as the Chaos Warmaster together with the Four Gods. With him as a backup, there is basically no possibility of the Justice Team losing when they are two against one.

“Two impostors, you want to kill me!”

The demon Fulgrim was still trying to be strong. While he was shouting insults at the other party, he was secretly opening a tunnel back to the warp. But how could his little trick be hidden from the eyes of the two primarchs?

“Hmph! Want to escape?”

Fulgrim held the Forgebreaker in his left hand and the Sword of the Emperor in his right hand as he slowly walked towards the demon Fulgrim. Although he was not as tall as the other, every step he took seemed to be stepping on the heart of the demon Fulgrim.

Faced with this oppressive opponent, the demon Fulgrim was on the verge of despair. He wanted to fight back, but the severe pain in his throat made him feel powerless.

Immediately, Fulgrim leaped in front of the demon Fulgrim, and slashed down with the Forgebreaker, which was blocked by Fulgrim with other weapons, but he then stabbed out with the Emperor’s Sword in his right hand.

This sword pierced through the heart of the demon Fugen!

The pale flames rushed along where the blood flowed, turning Fugen into a blazing fireball. His soul was rapidly melting and falling apart.

“God…”

The demon Fulgrim tightly grasped the sword of Slaanesh in his hand. The sword seemed to be burned by the flames of the Sword of the Emperor and emitted an agitated wail.

In the warp, the joyful Slaanesh bestowed his blessing, allowing the suffering Fulgrim to feel desire and happiness. A strange curve appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he was immersed in a beautiful dream.

Even the flames on his body were somewhat extinguished.

But the next second, even more violent flames gushed out from the Sword of the Emperor, covering the entire body of the demon Fulgrim once again. This time, even Slaanesh could not save Fulgrim.

As Fulgrim watched, Fulgrim was completely reduced to ashes, and he used the Blade of the Hearthbreaker in his hand to cut off the charred head as a sacrifice to the spirit of Ferrus in heaven.

“A pathetic fellow.”

Fulgrim tossed the Emperor’s Sword back to Horus and commented on the daemon Fulgrim at his feet.

Horus looked at Fulgrim, then looked in the direction of Terra. He knew that when Slaanesh brought down the miracle just now, the God-Emperor took action to stop Slaanesh.

“Let’s go, Russ and the others have found the demon Magnus, that guy is yours.”

……

……

A great expedition sweeping across the world is underway in an orderly manner!
The Emperor sent almost all of the Primarchs to the Warhammer 40K universe where the God-Emperor is, and the Webway under the God-Emperor’s Golden Throne is being repaired by the giant corporation in every possible way.

It just so happens that the Necrons have advanced experience in the Webway. With their help, it is only a matter of time before the God-Emperor ascends to the Golden Throne.

The return of the Emperor and the return of most of the Primarchs to the Empire is definitely a grand event for the humans in the Warhammer 40K universe to sweep away the haze and regain glory.

With the Primarch forces at their peak and the human forces scattered across the empire, the power of the human empire reached an unprecedented height. In order to sweep the universe and revitalize the empire, Horus, in the name of the Imperial Warmaster, launched the second Great Crusade against the Milky Way.

Compared to the First Great Crusade, the human empire now has a larger territory, and the opponents of the Primarchs are not just some aliens, but corrupt elements and chaos forces lurking in various planets and star regions.

In order to speed up the integration of the Milky Way as much as possible, the Human Empire and the Eldar reached a strategic cooperation. Both sides pledged to coexist peacefully and wipe out the Chaos forces together.

At first, Horus did not want to cooperate with Evelyne’s Death Army. After all, the irreconcilable relationship between the Empire and the alien forces was deeply rooted in his bones.

But this was an order given by the Emperor himself, and Horus did not dare to disobey.

The god of death Iniad believed by the Eldar is a potential god unit of the cosmic giant enterprise and a part that can be utilized and united, so the Eldar also have a certain value.

Of course, the human empire’s cooperation partners are limited to the Eldar.

All the other aliens will be hit hard!
Especially the Tau Empire located on the eastern edge of the galaxy.

The Tau Empire is a civilization that experienced a technological explosion, evolving from the Black Powder Age to the Space Age in a very short period of time, and establishing a core social structure based on the concept of “the Greater Good”.

The so-called highest good essentially means that collective interests are above individual interests. On the surface, it emphasizes the tolerance of diverse races, but in reality, other races are treated as second-class citizens.

It is an oligarchy in the guise of democracy.

From this point of view, it means that the Tau Empire and the Universal Corporation are irreconcilable, because their political systems are almost the same, and the same political system must require the other party to submit to itself.

This is definitely unacceptable to the Tau Empire, so they have to cripple the enemy first.

The Imperial Expeditionary Corps, composed of five Primarchs, including Sanguinius, Russ, Jaghatai Khan, Llane, and Angron, was responsible for the mission of attacking the Tau Empire.

Their mission in this battle is to completely destroy the Tau Empire. They will either accept the rule of the Universal Corporation or be blown to pieces by the Empire’s artillery!

As for the other Primarchs, under the leadership of Horus, they advanced in all directions, clearing out all Chaos forces and killing Chaos generals.

Strive to completely restore the power map of the human empire at its peak within twenty years.

The ten thousand year long period of decline caused the human empire to lose many resource-rich star regions and countless alien forces.

If we want to recapture these territories as quickly as possible, we must slaughter these damn aliens like a gust of wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

However, it was not long before Horus encountered the first big trouble of this Great Crusade.

That was the Chaos Warmaster Abaddon, leading a powerful black legion, blocking his path!
“Abaddon…”

Horus looked at the Chaos Giant not far in front of him, and then looked at his adjutant Abaddon himself. He really didn’t understand how this guy could be chosen by the Four Chaos Gods.

Since the demon Abaddon was chosen by the four gods, each evil god left his own mark and symbol on his body, so his image looks like a piece of corrupt and strong mud.

The disgusting rotten skin and strong muscles are combined in an uncoordinated way, making people feel weird and uncomfortable no matter how they look at it.

“Horus, I really miss the time when we went to Terra together and swore to kill the Corpse Emperor. At that time, you told us in person how terrible the conspiracy of that false emperor was.”

“How come now, you suddenly changed your mind and ran off to serve that dying corpse king as a lackey?”

“Don’t you think it’s contradictory?”

The demon Abaddon laughed hideously, and the rotten flesh on his face trembled along with the laughter. It was obvious that he was trying to sow discord, and the culprit behind all this was Horus.

Whether it is resurrection from the dead or other universes, it cannot change what Horus has done.

At this moment, the demon Abaddon looked down at the tiny Horus with his inflated tall body.

On this alien planet, the troops of both legions had already deployed themselves, waiting for the order from their respective war commanders.

In fact, before coming here, the demon Abaddon was a little nervous.

Because the powerful image of Horus has long been deeply rooted in people’s hearts, neither the Black Legion nor himself can forget how powerful Horus was in the past.

A Primarch who could fight the Emperor in a 40:60 tie, or even very close to a 50:50 tie, was unprecedented!
After Horus’ death, the Chaos Warriors of the Black Legion still clearly remembered who their true commander was, and Abaddon was just a substitute.

In many cases, other Chaos legions simply did not obey the orders of him as the Warmaster.

The demon Abaddon never truly commanded the Chaos Legions like Horus did in the past.

Suspicion, jealousy, and anger were intertwined in the heart of the demon Abaddon, so the moment he saw Horus, he had already made two plans.

Either he kills Horus with his own hands and earns his reputation as the Warmaster of Chaos, or he dies at the hands of the enemy and becomes his stepping stone.

This plan might be a little reckless, but it is not impossible in the eyes of the devil Abaddon.

After all, the reason why Horus was so powerful back then was because he obtained the power chosen by the Four Chaos Gods. And now he is the one chosen by the four gods, the chosen one blessed by the four gods.

The Horus in front of him was just a fake, how could he be comparable to himself?

Instantly, a strong evil spirit rushed out from the corrupt eyeballs of the demon Abaddon. He tightly grasped the magic sword Draconian in his hand, eager to kill Horus and seal his soul in the sword.

This magic sword was transformed from an ancient demon named “Draconian”. It has a powerful curse power that can tear the barrier between reality and the subspace.

As the chosen one of the four gods, the demon Abaddon’s sword also represents his authority.

“The idiot you are talking about died on Terra a long time ago. I am not him, and he is not me. As the Warmaster of the Empire, my duty is to wipe out all of you, leaving no one alive!”

Horus was not angered by the words of the demon Abaddon. During the confrontation with the other party, Horus waved numbers to call for people, while using the equipment of the Cosmic Enterprise to block the surrounding subspace environment.

He knew that if he confronted the demon Abaddon head-on, there would be no good outcome, and the two sides would most likely end up in a one-for-one situation.

But for Horus, the one-for-one casualty ratio was simply too high. And now that the Great Crusade had just begun, how could he accept that his own Luna Wolves were wiped out by the Chaos Legion as soon as they set out?
