United with the Eldar who had converted to the Hades Cult, the remaining defenders of Storm Starfield immediately launched a counterattack.
It should be noted that over the course of more than two thousand years, the Pale Lord Mortarion himself has interacted with other races on numerous occasions, and a small number of Eldar have chosen to join the Pale Lord's cause for various reasons.
With the Storm Starfield under attack, armies from other starfields immediately returned to defend it and fight against the Dark Eldar.
During this period, after witnessing the atrocities committed by the Eldar on the planet they had built, the Death Guard, led by the Undead Khalas Typhon, swore a poisoned oath to exterminate the Eldar.
Meanwhile, the team led by Two-Face Vox headed towards the Misty Starfield to fight alongside other legions.
Due to internal strife within the Mechanicus, the Imperial Legion in the Misty Starfield, facing logistical disruptions, has once again become embroiled in a bitter battle with Abaddon.
Meanwhile, the two Chaos Legions led by Alpha and Omega also joined Warmaster Abaddon's revelry and began spreading the doctrines of Chaos.
Magnus's figure was also seen by the Legion.
In fact, after Van Diehl signed numerous treaties with the Martian Mechanicus, the Martian Cult immediately took advantage of the Empire's chaos and launched an academic war against countless forging worlds.
They need to obtain from other worlds the resources that have been lost due to the restrictions imposed by empires over the past millennium.
Meanwhile, due to the exemplary role of the Martian Mechanicus, forging worlds in other star systems also began to wage war against each other while the Empire was in chaos.
In name, the Mechanicus and the Empire are each one end of a double-headed eagle. Therefore, the Imperial army and Space Marines tacitly agree not to interfere in the internal wars of the Mechanicus unless there are heretics or traitors involved.
Because of the terms that Van Dill hastily signed, the Mechanicus civil war led to the Imperial defeat on the front lines, and the Mechanicus could not even be held accountable.
Van der himself shirked his responsibility and deliberately exacerbated the conflict between the Space Marines and the Mechanicus.
Under the pretext of eradicating heresy, the Martian Mechanicus, in alliance with several large casting worlds, launched an expedition towards several casting worlds in the Storm Starfield and the Limit Starfield.
Meanwhile, led by the Greiel Forging World, and united with other Forging Worlds under the same Pluto doctrine, they launched a counterattack against Mars.
In the midst of this massive academic war, no one cares that in a small forging world like Stur, under the doctrine of Hades, after a battle, everyone on the planet died—both sides perished, and all the basic structures were destroyed.
In sporadic surveillance footage, people discovered that the long-lost Primarchs, Fugen and Conrad, had appeared on this planet.
But this matter was quickly submerged and forgotten in the mutual condemnation within the large-scale casting world.
In the academic war between Mars and Grei, Grei, who had previously given most of its resources to the Death Guard, gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.
Mars doesn't seem to have any intention of letting Greier go. Under Mars's relentless pressure, Death Guard commander Karas privately approached Greier's forging general to ask if he needed the Death Guard's help.
As the first large-scale forged world to partner with the Deathguard, Grei'e holds immense significance and strategic importance; the Deathguard cannot afford to lose Grei'e.
Although they share a common religious origin, Grei's Forging General refused support from the Death Guard, knowing that the nature of the war would be completely changed once the Death Guard joined the crusade between the Forging Worlds.
After some discussion, Grei's Forging General, with the help of Karas, made contact with the Forging World of Faos within the Great Vortex.
Without hesitation, Fauss dispatched his fleet, led by the great sage Kirkland the Chaos.
Kirkland the Chaos One, a personality attachment extracted from the Nirvana System, is best at disguising Faos's various technologies as legitimate and compliant.
To cover up some of the technology, Faos sent Kirkland.
After Faos joined the fray, the tide of battle immediately turned.

Rampant: Due to the addition of other Chaos armies and the successive falls of loyal Primarchs in a short period of time, the war between the Imperium and Chaos cannot end in the short term. At the same time, the Mechanicus fighting each other in various places has made the Imperium even more chaotic.
Amidst the chaos, Van Diehl, who remained firmly seated on the throne of Terra, grew increasingly arrogant. He realized that the continuation of the war was actually beneficial to his rule, so Van Diehl began to maneuver among various factions, taking the opportunity to expand his power.
He spread his own religion extensively, claiming to be the spokesperson for the God-Emperor, and the battle nuns around him seemed to confirm this claim.
Van Diehl reorganized the High Lords Council, firmly controlling the Inquisition and the Assassin's Court.
Meanwhile, under the pretext of purging heretics and rebuilding the state religion, Van Diehl began to arrest and try people on a large scale throughout the Imperium, and even commanded some chapters to attack other Space Marine chapters on the grounds that they might fall into corruption.
Countless worlds that were not destroyed on the day of Saint Gilles' ascension were instead ordered to be exterminated under the judgment of Pope Van Diehl, including many planets that the Death Guard went to preach.
In this way, Van Diehl satisfied his increasingly perverse lust for power and delayed the progress of the war as much as possible.
With Van Dill concealing the truth, the Space Marines, Astraklans, Imperial Navy, and other forces engaged in the war remained completely unaware of this.
However, as the border war gradually subsided, Pope Van Diehl's doomsday was quietly approaching.
087.M33-
A skilled warrior from the Hades Chapter, Buzz Bella, came into the public eye during the Grey Knights' campaign against Magnus.
Because of his outgoing nature, during his conversation with the Grey Knights, Bouz Bella learned that Highlord Vandir had repeatedly obstructed Grey Knights, who belonged to the Inquisition, from supporting the front lines.
However, upon hearing that Magnus was suspected to have appeared on the battlefield, the Grey Knights immediately decided to defy the Inquisition's wishes and go to the battlefield to fight.
After successfully banishing Magnus, the weary Grey Knight was merely confiding his worries to a reliable comrade, but for Booz...
Thanks to the political acumen bestowed upon him by his genetic father Hades, Buzz Bella immediately realized that an enemy of the Empire had appeared on distant Terra.
He realized that with the fall of hero Sigismund and internal enemies, the Space Marines needed a new leader to correct their mistakes.
Similarly, this young man, who belongs to the son of Hades, also hopes to imprint his reverence for the father of genes onto the empire.
He will become the next hero, correcting mistakes and fulfilling his own selfish desires.
The first thing he did was to immediately distance himself from Two-Face Vox, who had a terrible reputation due to his extreme actions.
"Hey! Old Deng! Give me your reputation and connections, and get away from me!"
On the Resilience, Booz Bella, who had gone to the mother ship to loot, was ready to retreat and defend, but he saw Vox staring at him in a daze.
After restraining Booz, who was trying to retreat when he realized something was wrong, Vox sat on Booz, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, and without any hesitation, contacted Karas, who was in the Storm Starfield.
During that communication, all Buz heard was Vox and Karas sighing almost simultaneously.
And one sigh after another.
A week later, Buzz Bella received so many supplies and ships that he was sweating profusely.
Thanks to Tobz, the brothers of the Hades Chapter, numbering less than sixty, could each sleep in their own private lounge by putting seven beds together and still have plenty of space.
The Son of Hades immediately appointed Booz as the new chapter leader, while he himself happily joined his battle brethren.
Buz stayed behind to take stock of the supplies.
In order not to disappoint the Death Guard commander and his officers, Booz, already drenched in sweat, fought almost the entire battle against Chaos.
Here are some of Booz's records:
Join forces with the Grey Knights to banish Magnus. (My personal assessment: the Grey Knights are really nice guys, five stars!)
He participated in the boarding action of the Soul of Vengeance, slaying countless Chaos Warriors and rescuing a Word Bearer, the "Hermit," imprisoned on the Soul of Vengeance. (According to him, he simply fought his way through.)
The battle with Abaddon. (Afterwards, Vox arrived in time to save Booz from being killed by Abaddon's power claws. The two successfully retreated together. Booz was very grateful to Vox for helping him gain military merits and further announced that he was cutting ties with Vox, as he was not familiar with him.)
He successfully escaped from the battle against the Crimson Alpha. (According to him, he fired one shot to draw the enemy's attention and then ran for his life, which is how he survived.)
They joined forces with the Silent Sisters to banish Lucius. (My personal opinion: Disgusting.)
On a plague-ridden planet, the Imperial Fist is rescued from its slumber. (My personal comment: It evokes a warm feeling, like stepping back onto the Resilient.)
In the battle against Rotten Omega, he was banished back to Rotten Omega at the cost of the annihilation of Hades' son, the Silent Monks, and countless Death Guardians, with the exception of himself. (He became much more composed after that.)
As Booz, scythe in hand, trembled as he walked among the countless corpses of his comrades, the sole survivor of Hades's son looked up and realized that this long war had finally come to an end.
He himself had already become a true hero of the empire in this battle.
134.M33-
With the support of the Deathguard, and together with the victorious Grei'e and Faos Forges from the Academic Wars, Buzz Bella led an army of Space Marines back to Terra.
As an aside, in the negotiations with the Foundry World, it was Kim-306, the creator of Buzz Bella, who was responsible for most of the communication and negotiations.
-
Under absolute military suppression, the son of Hades arrived outside Vandir's palace.
-
After persuading the fighting nuns to lay down their weapons, along with the Silent Sisters, the last son of Hades, Buzz Bella, killed Pope Gogg van der Erd.
On the same day, Buzz Bella walked out of the palace carrying the head of Gog van der Erdl and announced to the crowd on the rooftop that, in the name of the God Emperor and the Underworld King, he would establish an empire in which the God Emperor and the Underworld King coexist.
On the same day, the sages from Greière and Phaeus set foot on Mars and declared Ohm Messiah to be the god of the underworld.
The era of apostasy finally came to an end amidst a century of war.
The four Primarchs departed, the Blood Angels were stripped of their titles, the high command of Terra was slaughtered, countless worlds were engulfed in war, people attacked each other, religions fought each other, countless worlds were plunged back into ignorance, countless planets were lost, and countless technologies were scattered. Due to internal strife and external enemies, armies were drastically reduced, and heretics and aliens were eyeing them covetously. The Age of Apostasy, this chaotic era, finally came to an end.
The era of Hades and the God Emperor ruling together has begun.
Thank you to [Tea Fish] for the fan art!!! Due to my schedule, I had to let him make an early appearance..._(:з」∠)_
Don't wait
I updated 6,000 words this morning, and that's all for tonight. So frustrating...
This volume is just an outline. If I were to expand it, I could add 100,000 words to each chapter. You guys, I'm really going to exhaust myself. I'll exhaust myself before you guys do.
I'm still working hard to get to 40k words, and I've finally finished talking about the Apostolic Age... There's not much left to do, so I'll see if I can finish this volume in the next day or two.
And what I've mentioned here are mostly important things, but for some reasons (length, foreshadowing, or simply not fitting into the pacing), some factions haven't been described.
Later, I might expand on some of the more interesting events mentioned here. Feel free to suggest which events you'd be interested in...
And here's a call for suggestions: which battles or characters from the 40k and 41k eras would you like to see?
Chapter 550 Ten Thousand Years (8)
In the nearly thousand years since the Primarchs departed, countless heroic and tragic battles have taken place within the human empire. However, when these battles are dissolved into the long river of millions of years, they are but a drop in the ocean, merely creating a ripple.
Therefore, in the following recording, the recorder only selected a few scenes from the thousands of events and made a brief record.
135.M33-
Chaotic Faith: Amidst the chaos, the era of apostasy finally came to an end, but the human empire remained mired in difficulties, even though the most significant threat within its borders had long been eliminated.
However, the ideological shadows left by the Apostolic Age continued to poison people's minds. From the Chaos Faith, which worshipped the Four Chaos Gods, to the Nest City Faith, which worshipped a certain Four-Armed God Emperor, countless heretical religions sprouted and took root within the empire's territory.
Boozbella, son of Hades, commissioned the Word Bearer Hermit, whom he rescued aboard the Soul of Vengeance, to create a state religion that combined the God-Emperor and Hades, and named the new scripture the Book of the Word.
The Death Guard also released the Word Bearers who had remained loyal during the Great Rebellion and were imprisoned in the Death Guard Stasis Field, handing them over to Terra.
There have been rumors that the Hades cult written within the Deathguard originated from the Word Bearers imprisoned in the Deathguard dungeons.
-
The state religion was reorganized.
136.M33-
Four military buildups: The Holy Blood Angels were removed from the list, and the World Devourers expanded in scale.
Due to the chaotic information, many warbands with unknown parent groups were established during this military formation.
140.M33-
Religious Expedition: The Hermit completed his work, and at the behest of the Son of the Underworld, Buzbera, the Empire launched a religious expedition.
-
A blessing in disguise: During the Apostolic Age, the number of psionicists within the Empire's territory surged, and the influence of the Star Language Court, the Navigators, and the Star Torch Hall expanded further.
147.M33-
Triumphant Return: The various mechanical factions on Mars finally completed their discussions, and the representatives of the Greiel and Faos Forging Worlds returned to their respective worlds, showing little interest in Mars.
The adaptation of Martian Mechanicus is complete.
155.M33-
The courts were reorganized, and a Tribunal for Heresy was added.
-
The Ministry of the Interior was reorganized.
-
Thanks to the efforts of Boozbella, son of Hades, the High Lords Council, which had been almost abandoned for decades, was revived.
Boozbella, son of Hades, is the second-in-command of the High Lords Council.
The position of Chief of the High Lords Council has been vacant.
