Chapter 838 Sewing the Cracks
The engines of these war machines are bound to a daemon thirsting for blood and carnage, and their armor and weapons are forged from the souls of the most cunning, honor-forsaken villains and cowards in the galaxy that Khorne hates most.
They are not only the ruthless incarnation of cruel war, but also the direct embodiment of evil being punished. Two contradictory perceptions are integrated into one body. The conflict and distortion make all mortals who look directly at them fear to death.
The Imperial forces fell apart under the advancing war machines, and the Space Marines who advanced the furthest were trapped in heavy siege. The Space Wolves, Raven Guard, and White Scars fought side by side, struggling to hold on among the demons.
"Where is the Legion of the Curse?" Looking at the scene in front of him, Trazin couldn't help but ask, "If Khorne and Slaanesh can show strength to this extent, there is no reason why Bacon can't do it. Is he accumulating strength?"
There was no explanation for the question, and Trazin had no choice but to put the question aside. Then the samurai legion under his command appeared at the rear of the battlefield.
The faint green light of Gaussian weapons was extremely obvious on the battlefield, and both demons and war engines were torn apart under the illumination of Gaussian tearing beams.
"Reinforcements from the Mechanicus! It's reinforcements from the Mechanicus! The main force of Agrippina Mechanicus must be back!" Tovins poked his head out from the Emperor's Poison Blade and shouted excitedly.
The great sage of the past, who often conducts research and archeology, obviously understands these metal skeletons armed with deadly weapons better than Tovins, a mortal, and his heart was suddenly wrapped in despair. Then he ordered the remaining Skitarii and Knights around him to turn their guns and prepare to resist the Necron's attack from behind.
"We are here to help you, don't do anything stupid." Trazin's amplified voice echoed on the battlefield, which indeed caused the Imperial troops to temporarily postpone their intention to open fire.
Eventually the obelisk's volleys shattered the Skull Tower's foundations, sinking it into the endless battle between the daemons of Khorne and the daemons of Slaanesh.
Although the battle was victorious, there were not many cheers. The numb soldiers held on to their spirits and thanked the Emperor for his blessing. The Space Marines, who had been fighting for days and nights without rest, also negotiated with Trazyn.
"Retreat. This planet is completely destroyed from the inside out. There is no need to save it."
Listening to Trazin's words, Wodehouse just replied helplessly, "Of course we know the situation on this planet, but retreating will not solve the problem. We are not here to expel these demons, but for the empire. The troops will have more time to prepare. The turmoil caused by the shattering of the planet will tear apart the membrane between reality and the warp, and then the Imperium will face an even more powerful daemon army. But I really didn’t expect that our reinforcements would be you.”
"I didn't expect Bian Poo to send me a message either."
"What?"
"nothing."
After the exchange is over, Trazin's forces will cover the Imperial forces' withdrawal from the planet. Even with the support of the Necrontyr, the retreat will not be easy. Although the Mechanicus has already begun the industrial relocation work, only a small number of equipment can be transported onto the ship.
"How big do you think the cracks will be after the planet disintegrates?" Orikan asked Trazin, and before he could answer, Orikan continued, "I think this is a good opportunity to test us. Blackstone equipment deployed in the sector."
"Yeah. But that will consume some energy, which will delay the time to seal the Eye of Terror."
"We can throw a few Star God fragments down. Didn't King Silence dispatch a lot of supplies for you?"
"Fragments? What fragments? I don't remember these things." Trazin said guiltily.
Orikan stared at him for a long time, and realized that Trazin had an old habit of collecting, and began to feel sorry for the consumption of those few Star God fragments.
"No fragments?" Orikan emphasized, "In this case, I can only write a report to the Silent King."
"No, no, no, can't I use it?" Trazin said reluctantly. He knew that the Silent King sent Orikan to supervise him.
When the last transport ship evacuated from the abnormal surface of the planet, the demon army of Slaanesh put down all restrictions and burdens. Facing the disadvantage of the demon army of Khorne, they were just worried that mortals would not be able to withstand the blowing of the two winds of corruption. After all, The Voskani do not have the warp resistance provided by the Life Vaccine.
The demons of Slaanesh perform rituals deep within the dead planet, summoning reinforcements. In just a few days, a small part of the land that was originally infiltrated by the power of the Blood God was held by Slaanesh's powerful hands.
The scarlet and purple lights ravaged each other, and no one was willing to give in. Seeing their homeland ravaged like this by demons, even the hard-hearted Mechanic-Priest would sigh for a long time.
Eventually, billions of roars of anger and billions of screams of joy erupted from the center of the earth. The entire planet shattered in an instant, and rocks and dust that were half reality and half illusion violently shook the unstable space. The sages deployed all the detectors to collect rare data in the heroic scene of the planet's death.
"This scale is a bit too large." Trazin was worried. If the black stone array was used to forcefully seal the cracks, the energy consumed would have exceeded his budget.
Feeling Orikan's cold warning gaze, Trazin felt bitter.
Trazin ordered the technicians to prepare to activate the black stone array, and all the planets with black stone spiers in the Agrippina and Cadia sectors became active.
As the first line of defense to guard the Eye of Terror, Cadia also has the most Black Stone Spires built on it. These mysterious buildings, which are classified as highly confidential by the Empire, emit ominous fluctuations, and the elite troops stationed around them immediately feel a strong sense of discomfort.

The soul is being slowly stripped away.
If these Black Stone Towers do not stop operating, only one in ten soldiers and civilians in Cadia will survive.
The God-Emperor, who had been silent all the time, took action at this time. He released the accumulated power through various ornaments and holy artifacts pointing to him. Tzeentch tried to stop him, but the many barriers he built melted like summer snow under the illumination of the Holy Light. The barrier of faith became the last line of defense to protect the souls of mortals.
In an instant, everyone was surrounded by warm and sacred golden light, and the pain of their souls being stripped away by the Black Stone Tower disappeared. Faced with such a miracle, the soldiers of the Empire shed pious and excited tears, and loudly praised the greatness and immortality of the Emperor.
Blackrock Spire completed the energy gathering and released energy in a special way that the Mechanicus could not understand. This energy transcended time and space and directly acted on Agrippina, who had opened the rift, like a thread to sew up the broken space.
This process was slow and unstoppable. No matter how the Khorne demons behind the rift roared and howled, they could not stop the rift from being closed.
"The effect is good. Closing the Eye of Terror is probably as smooth as this." Orikan said happily.
"Really? Let's see the result of the dice." The gloating voice resounded in Orikan's ears. Even without a soul, he was still horrified by this voice.
The last time he heard this voice was on the Golden Ark. He reversed the fate of Irafren's death several times by going back in time.
The next moment, Orikan activated all the time instruments he had and sank the fragments of the Star God given by the Silent King privately into the core, not caring about the risk of overheating and self-explosion.
He tried his best to cast the strongest time and space spell for himself and got the opportunity. He almost acted at the same time as the malicious voice.
"Backtrack!"
"Big failure."
