Moreover… Mortarion thought, he had witnessed Hades slashing at Chaos with his own eyes—now the Primarch understood why the Emperor valued Hades so much, and the Primarch was absolutely certain that they would win.
The losses from this Slaanesh raid were almost negligible in the Primarch's eyes.
This was a chaotic raid, and they were already worthy of being recorded in the annals of the empire even before they were completely wiped out.
This time we're bringing Callas along.
Callas, who had been feigning death, coughed this time.
----------
【Comoros】
Pain! Madness!
Pain! Pain! Pain! — Weakness!
The youngest queen clutched her abdomen as the arrow pierced the earth deeply, penetrating to its deepest point, from which flowed the rotten essence of soul and desire.
The poison from Nurgle eroded Him constantly, and everything that the arrows touched rotted away.
Mortarion... Mortarion!!!
The serpentine tail lashed out like a mountain, and the Milky Way poured down from the sky. The tall, spiraling tower was struck and slowly collapsed, kicking up a huge cloud of dust.
The cries and screams of countless dark spirits surrounded Slaanesh, which made him feel a little better. His mouth watered, his fangs pressed against the ground, and he once again wrapped his arms around himself and chewed.
The chaotic starry sea flickered above the youngest queen's head, storms raged, and the remaining parts of the network were like the old molts shed by a giant snake, thin and translucent, falling piece by piece under the heavy pressure of the vast ocean.
Crying, crying, Aisha's cries rang out beside Slaanesh. The youngest queen hated this endless crying, but she knew she couldn't devour the Eldar mother goddess right now.
He writhed in agony among the ruins of the Comoros city, devouring everything in his path like a gluttonous beast, hoping to regain the power that Hades had swallowed.
As He ate, Sin was filled again.
But the part pierced by that arrow could never heal, and a mixture of solid and fluid remnants of the soul flowed from his abdomen.
He wept bitterly, wept in agitation, and ate heartily, but at one moment, Slaanesh felt he should stop—a strong premonition struck him.
The Dark Prince looked around blankly. With Aisha's help, he could sense the number of the Elven race... no... how come there were so few left?!
That's far from enough! That's far from enough! That's far from enough!
It shrieked, its six arms piercing its cheeks, its long horns writhing and twisting like snakes, piercing the air beside it as if trying to tear something apart.
And as if appreciating His suffering, the clear chirping of birds rang out.
The applause was slow to start.
It was worth it.
The laughing god Xi Gaoqi said that the huge, distorted smile on his face was uglier than crying, with teardrop-shaped patterns hanging down his cheeks.
? ? ! ! !
Slaanesh lunged forward in anger, but missed due to the pain in his abdomen. Higgochkay nimbly dodged and gracefully bowed to Slaanesh while still in mid-air.
Then the God of Laughter rose and bowed to the Comoros, a scene of utter devastation that had become almost like hell, as if taking his final bow.
+My greedy young god,+
Xi Gaoqi blinked his completely black eyes, which were filled with extreme hatred and mockery.
Do you still remember the outrageous joke I once promised to tell?
Before the furious Slaanesh could speak, Higgoch began to speak on his own. At that moment, Slaanesh noticed the bird feather chain around the Laughing God's neck.
One day, all of this will become a joke.
As Higoki elegantly chanted, all the remaining clowns appeared, and in harmony with the Laughing God's chant, they began to perform the history of the rise and fall of the Eldar.
+You will vomit up all the Eldar souls you have consumed—and protect the Eldar from ever dying again. +
Xi Gaoqi said, the teardrop pattern at the corner of his eye shimmering.
Now—my dearest and most greedy youngest queen, my joke is over.
Slaanesh looked angrily at his abdomen, where the decaying matter of his soul was constantly gushing out. But it was no longer a complete Eldar soul; it was useless Eldar soul waste.
+The Eldar are dead.+
Higochi sighed, bowing down to the treacherous one in exchange for a promise, but the treacherous one also toyed with him, the Eldar souls that Slaanesh spat out... were nothing but waste.
+And I, attached to the beautiful lady who has awakened and exists within the Eldar, the countdown has begun. When the number of Eldar dwindles to the point where a race can no longer exist normally—death will descend. +
+Born from your belly. +
The God of Laughter laughed.
+And you die. +
But I believe your situation is now even more precarious—your troops have perished in the Sea of the Dead, are you willing to use your remaining strength to rebuild your army?
Xi Gaoqi blinked.
Oh, I think besides Hades, all the other gods are now eyeing you covetously—after all, you're quite delicious right now.
Amidst immense abdominal pain and rage, Slaanesh exhaled foul breath.
+You want me to build an Eldar army?! +
The God of Laughter bowed.
+Your troops, your concepts, are now forever lost in the Dark Sea. I think you, who rebuilt the Demonic Calamity, know how difficult it will be to restore them. +
Xi Gaoqi's tone turned cold, but his smile became even more mocking.
+Or you could just devour all the Eldar, after all, you are the Lord of Desire, and then we'll see if you're killed first by the Death that bursts forth from your body, or by Nurgle or Khorne—or maybe even the Emperor?+
+……！ ！ +
Slaanesh angrily grabbed Higgogee, and this time Higgogee didn't dodge, but obediently let Slaanesh hold him, like a tattered doll in the hands of an angry little girl.
He started laughing hysterically, "Hahahahahahahahahaha!"
+You're nothing but Tzeentch's pawn!+
And so it ends! And so it ends!
The God of Laughter laughed loudly.
+It's just revenge! I actively sought out the Master of Change—I couldn't accomplish all this alone—guess who let you into the Comoros?!
+It's over! It's all over! The joke is over! +
Higochi laughed, a laugh that sounded like a cry, as he was lifted high into the air, his bones shattering in Slaanesh's fists.
The enraged Slaanesh opened his mouth and shoved him into the abyss of gluttony.
Next, only Elsa was left alive.
In order to avoid destruction and prevent death from descending upon the world, Slaanesh will leave Aisha behind—to meet her end in a hell of restraining her desires.
When He is driven mad by His own desires and swallows Aisha, Slaanesh will also end His own existence.
Before this, Higoki died.
Yay, it's gone!
Chapter 655 Treachery Win Win Win
There are no winners in this galaxy.
Only change is eternal—that's the ultimate beauty.
The delicate thread of fate snapped, and Hip Hop Kiss came to an end.
The hedonist falls into moderation, and the Eldar destroyer is tied to the Eldar—this is the joke told by Higoki.
This is also the mercy that Chaos bestows upon the youngest... With ingenious and ever-changing strategies, the gods awakened by the great fall of the Eldar are imprisoned in the Comoros, and only Tzeentch has the last laugh.
Once upon a time, Higoki visited the Lord of All Changes, hoping that the Lord of All Changes would help him complete the last piece of the puzzle. He gladly agreed, and all the prophecies came true. However, the souls of the Spirit Race that the God of Laughter had hoped for were spat out... were completed in a different way.
This is prophecy and destiny.
The labyrinth is ever-changing, time flows in another way, and the eccentric heaven closes its eyes, awaiting the endless changes.
Facing that monster... He still has one more chance.
The three relics of the ancient sage...
Far away... an unexpected guest leaped into the sea of destiny.
..............................
Terra
"This is the first time I've felt nauseous."
The Necromancer of Space said that Tarachin felt a precious sense of relief in letting Hades go, and he silently recorded it.
"You can always choose a different mode of transportation."
Hades said somewhat urgently, the billowing black veil still around him, his face still an empty black, before he strode off toward the Terra Palace.
Yes, after sucking on a few Void Dragon fragments, Hades learned time travel, though not very accurately.
For example, they just fell right into the green pit.
Hades, in a hurry to get on his way, immediately activated the Dark Domain. The Greenskins were spawned and instantly killed, leaving the local Astral Army, who were still fighting the Greenskins, dumbfounded as they stared at the mushroom corpses scattered all over the ground.
In the brief interval between the next jumps, Hades hurriedly tucked the Tarachin hanging from his waist back into his cloak.
"Don't panic, everyone!"
Hades raised his hands,
"It was nothing! It was nothing! Praise be to the Emperor! By the Divine Emperor! I meant no harm—"
With the last note still lingering in the air, Hades realized he couldn't afford to lose face. Fortunately, he didn't reveal his true form and instantly teleported away a second time.
Hades had intended to take Booz along as well, but Tarachin told him that humans might not be able to withstand the pressure of his jump, so Hades had to give up.
So Booz, who had traveled a long way back, watched helplessly as Hades teleported back to Terra, while he remained where he was, staring at the Primarch and a few old men like Karas.
Hades thoughtfully called Black over to keep Booz company. They would accompany the heavily injured Primarch and Karas (as well as Vox) on a grueling paperwork-filling ordeal.
Unfortunately, the Primarch seems quite interested in the two young Dark Children.
Even more unfortunately, Booth also had to be wary of a backstab from Black.
He didn't want this guy to suddenly wagh—the Black Butcher's emotional intelligence was clearly that low.
On Terra's side, Hades traveled unimpeded, while Tarasin disappeared somewhere on his own. If the King of Figurines' sensors were sensitive enough, it might have detected some of the Astrologer's presence.
"Old Huang!"
Hades called out, and when he looked up, he saw Macado, who had returned before him, sitting calmly beside the Golden Throne.
The two men were slightly startled when they saw Hades, but quickly regained their composure.
Hades thought for a moment, then immediately replaced the mask he was wearing to prevent losing his face.
Hades had originally intended to come and check on Macado's condition, but seeing the current scene, he hesitated. He doubted that he needed to get involved in the power struggle between the Emperor and Macado—he should focus on his own affairs instead.
He stepped onto the high steps, only to see the emperor raise a hand.
I know you want to say something.
The Lord of Mankind said calmly, “Well done, Hades.”
Hades took a deep breath.
Okay? He was getting a little annoyed. The remains of the Endurance hadn't been completely salvaged yet; millennia of hard work were scattered in the true space, along with the remains of those who had died...
The losses were somewhat significant; they could have taken precautions earlier.
"Don't be too hard on yourself,"
The Lord of Mankind continued,
"The Star God influenced you."
In a call-and-response manner, Makado also let out a cold laugh.
"Slaanesh has been severely damaged—at the cost of less than half a legion. What more could you want? Or do you want a flawless, one-shot victory?"
