The Fall of Tyran: The first major battle between the Empire of Man and this insectoid alien race from beyond the river, which was subsequently named the Tyranids.
The First Terran War: The Zerg hive invaded Macragge, where the Son of Hades was awakened and joined the Ultramarines in resisting the Zerg.
Perhaps due to Booz's awakening, all the sons of Hades felt something special during this period.
The Terran Wars inflicted heavy losses on Macragge, but the Ultramarines ultimately defended their homeland. However, the Zerg's minions continued their slow but steady advance...
The next wave of Tyranid attacks is imminent, but the Empire is not yet ready. Some radical Inquisitors have even proposed an extermination order to destroy all the planets in Tyranid's path and use Tyranid properties to force them to change their attack direction.
The people of the Extreme Starfield are agitated by Tyran's invasion, but just as Tyran has arrived unexpectedly... an unforeseen visitor is about to arrive on this battlefield.

Tarasin then took the opportunity to escape with his collection.
After concealing some of Tarachin's information, the astrologer then informed the other space necromancers about the matter.
98? .M41-
In an effort to halt Tyran's advance, Inquisitor Creptman began preparing to issue extermination orders to all the planets along a defensive line.
On an unknown planet overrun by Zerg, a small, inconspicuous flying object, bearing the double-headed eagle of the Human Empire and resembling a necromantic creation, appeared on the planet.
"Sorry, my good brother."
Amidst the howling wind, Tarachin braced one foot against a hybrid of a bed and a coffin, preparing to kick it off the flying object.
Tarasin exerted a slight force with his foot—
Rejoice, humankind!
Simply because that man has returned.
There wasn't much work left after the Primarch left.
Some timelines are based on the Warhammer timeline by a Bilibili user, and there's not much to write about some of the alien race timelines... so I've simplified the Bilibili user's timeline... I apologize again for this.
I'm not feeling well today. It's snowing heavily in Hebei. I had a bad day because I couldn't get a taxi and spent two hours freezing in the snow.
Chapter 552 The Return of the Dead
"In the name of Hades!"
Black Butcher, son of Hades, roared as his power axe cleaved the head of the worm in front of him. A muffled thud came from his elbow as he pulled back, and another worm fell to the ground.
Hurry...hurry up...
In the jungle, Blake was panting. His helmet had long been discarded after it was damaged, and blood was streaming down his forehead. At his feet, the corpses of the knife-worms and gun-worms had already piled up into a small hill, and two Tyrannical warriors, who had not yet been buried, were staring at him with their eyes wide open in death.
He stumbled down the mountain of corpses, and pulled up Barry, the strategist of the Sky Lions Legion, who was leaning against a tree behind him. This son of Dorne was on the verge of death, but he was still struggling to stay awake.
The Underworld knew of an abandoned bunker nearby. If they retreated there, they might survive a little longer, enough for Barry to send out a psionic signal to inform the Empire that the planet had fallen.
Blake desperately turned on the communication, trying again and again to call the survivors, but in reality, they might be the only two living people left on the planet.
Under the transformation by the Tyranids, the sky of this planet was already crimson, and large swaths of vegetation had withered. After killing the Imperial garrison, the Tyranids couldn't wait to begin turning all life on the planet into a biomass soup.
Blake even saw the Zerg mothership slowly descending from the sky, its massive shadows stretching tentacles toward the earth—they had begun to devour the planet.
He and Barry of the Sky Lions were just the last two survivors of the Tyranid massacre.
Blank. Blake's mind was completely blank.
But driven by instinct, he carried Sky Lion Barry and fled from the Tyrannosaurus Rex. He didn't want to die—or rather, he didn't want to die meaninglessly.
Of the ten men in his squad, all but him had been killed in battle.
If the last recruit in the squad, Blake, also dies, then their squad will have completely failed in the "Fate Bullet" mission.
No...this can't be done...!
Blake drew his gun and instinctively fired a bullet at the Tyrannical warrior who suddenly emerged from the shadows.
He skillfully tossed Barry off his back to a safer spot, ducked to avoid the Tyrannical warrior's bone knife, and swung his axe to intercept—perhaps because Blake's movements were a bit too rough, Barry let out a painful groan as he was thrown.
Blake's axe pierced the samurai's chitinous armor, and at the same time, sacs on the insect's appendages sprayed worms at him. Blake dodged, and swung his axe again—
No... all of this... all of this is Jin Daxian's fault!
Blake thought painfully as he lunged toward the warrior who was screaming hoarsely. He and the Tyrannical warrior rolled on the ground, narrowly avoiding the snakes and insects that suddenly sprang out from the ground beside him.
Every seven hundred years, the sons of Hades elect ten "most unlucky guys" who will form a team and embark on the mission of finding Hades again.
Then the Great Sage Jin will randomly set a parameter for the [Fate Slingshot] near the Barbarus Starfield, launching this unlucky squad out.
Up to Blake's squad, his unlucky predecessors would all return to the Hades Chapter at some point—and often successfully wash away their bad luck, saving the Empire in the search for Hades and becoming heroes of the Empire.
Some squads have successfully thwarted Abaddon's plots, some have driven away the great demon Tzeentch, and some have saved the living saint...
Blake staggered to his feet. The Tyranid warrior beneath him was already covered in blood from being devoured. He spat out the Tyranid's flesh and blood from his mouth, feeling as if the flesh and blood were turning into tiny insects tearing at his oral cavity.
He turned around, and from the tremor beneath his feet, Blake knew that the snake had gone to find Barry.
...And so this tradition, which brought joy to the chapter and benefited everyone, the "Fate Bullet," was preserved.
Those who were thrown out were no longer confined to the notion of "bad luck." Recruit Blake was thrown out because he preferred using an axe to a sickle and often remained silent.
He still remembered the veteran who had recruited him into the battle group patting him on the shoulder earnestly and speaking respectfully to the Great Sage Kim.
"This kid isn't very bright, and he doesn't quite seem to have Hades' blood. Staying in the group isn't really suitable for his development—he might have his own trials to endure."
"it is good."
The massive, mountain-like Golden Sage manipulated the cables, binding the already dazed Blake and dragging him into the spaceship.
His veteran fighter stood behind him, waving goodbye happily and asking him to bring back souvenirs for his trip.
Kim tied Blake to the seat and whispered, "He's definitely different from others..."
Blake knew he was about to die, and with a roused voice, he asked, trying not to tremble, "Where...where is it different?"
"You're the first one who didn't try to run away after being thrown out."
So, there's still a way to escape... Blake thought desperately, before his fate was randomly thrown out as the slingshot of destiny was activated.
Snapped!
The snakes and insects under Blake's axe stopped struggling. He breathed a sigh of relief, staggered as he pulled Barry to his feet, and continued walking towards the bunker amidst the corpses scattered on the ground.
But Blake knew it was all in vain. He had almost burned out in the battle against Tyrion and was now only holding on by the desperate struggle and resilience brought about by the Pluto's Son gene seed.
He'll fall on the way to the bunker, or worse, and even if he gets there... what then?
Blake vomited a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs, and shook the Sky Lion Barry on his shoulder again.
Barry is the soul of the Sky Lions battle group, essentially its think tank.
“Barry…” Blake began hoarsely, “Can you send a psionic communication now?”
Barry, who was on his back, had his eyes closed and shook his head.
"It's failed," Blake thought.
Their unlucky squad was thrown into a star system where they were fighting the Tyranids, and immediately found themselves embroiled in battle with the surrounding Tyranids.
They held out for five months, but being able to repair a few Venomblade Tanks was not enough to stop the advance of the entire swarm. The Sons of Hades, the Lamenters, and the Celestial Lions retreated again and again, eventually retreating to this jungle planet.
This star system may have already been abandoned, so apart from the branch squads of these three chapters, Black did not see any other chapters coming to support him.
In the final moments, under the pretext of needing to preserve hope, Blake's comrades sacrificed their lives to give him the chance to retreat. They told Blake Butcher that their unfortunate squad could not be the only one to fail in the last thousand years.
The children of the underworld believe that no matter where the "Bullet of Fate" throws them, they will achieve their own glory and success under the favor of Hades.
But... but...
Blake felt only endless despair.
