Chapter 838 Closing the Rift
The engines of these war machines are bound to a demon that craves blood and slaughter, and their armor and weapons are made of the souls of the evil and cowards who betray honor and are most hated by Khorne in the galaxy.
They are both the ruthless embodiment of cruel war and the direct embodiment of evil retribution. Two contradictory perceptions are integrated into one body. The conflict and distortion make all mortals who look directly at them die of fear.
The Imperial army fell apart in the joint advancement of the war machines, and the Space Marines who advanced the deepest were surrounded. The Space Wolves, Raven Guards, and White Scars fought side by side and tried their best to support the demon group.
"Where is the Cursed Legion?" Looking at the scene in front of him, Trazyn couldn't help asking, "If Khorne and Slaanesh can show their strength to this extent, there is no reason why Bacon can't do it. Is he accumulating strength?"
The question was not explained, and Trazyn had to put it aside. Then the warrior legion he commanded appeared at the back of the battlefield.
The faint green light of Gauss's weapons was extremely obvious on the battlefield, and the demons and war engines were all disintegrated under the illumination of Gauss's tearing beams.
"Reinforcements from the Mechanicus! It's reinforcements from the Mechanicus! It must be the main force of the Agrippina Mechanicus that has returned!" Torvins poked his head out from the Emperor's Poison Blade and shouted excitedly.
The Great Sage of the Generation, who often conducts research and archaeology, obviously knows more about this group of metal skeletons holding deadly weapons than Torvins, a mortal, and his heart was suddenly wrapped in despair. Then he ordered the remaining Skitarii and Knights around him to turn their guns around and prepare to resist the attack from behind by the Necrons.
"We are here to help you, don't do stupid things." Trazyn's amplified voice echoed on the battlefield, which did temporarily delay the Imperial forces' intention to open fire.
In the end, the volley of obelisks collapsed the foundation of the Skull Tower, sinking it into the ocean of endless struggle between Khorne and Slaanesh demons.
Although the battle was won, there were not many cheers. The numb soldiers were trying to maintain their spirits and thank the Emperor for his protection. The Space Marines who had been fighting for several days and nights without rest also negotiated with Trazyn.
"Retreat, this planet is completely ruined from the inside out, and there is no need to save it."
Listening to Trazyn's words, Wodehouse just answered helplessly, "Of course we know the situation of this planet, but retreating can't solve the problem. We are here not to drive out these demons, but to give the Imperial forces more time to prepare. The turmoil caused by the shattering and disintegration of this planet will tear apart the membrane between reality and the warp, and then the Empire will face a more powerful demon army. But I really didn't expect that our reinforcements would be you."
"I didn't expect that Xianrou would send me a message."
"What?"
"Nothing."
After the communication, Trazyn's troops will cover the Imperial army to withdraw from the planet. Even with the support of the Necrontyr, the retreat is not easy. Although the Mechanicus has already started to carry out industrial migration work, only a few equipment can be transported on board.
"How big do you think the rift will be after the collapse of this planet?" Orikan asked Trazyn. Before he could answer, Orikan continued, "I think this is a good opportunity to test the Black Stone equipment we deployed in this star region."
"Well, but that will consume some energy, which will delay the time to block the Eye of Terror."
"We can throw a few Star God fragments down. Didn't the Silent King dispatch a lot of supplies for you?"
"Fragments? What fragments? I don't remember having these things." Trazyn said with a guilty conscience.
Orikan stared at him for a long time, and realized that Trazyn's old habit of collecting had come back, and he began to feel sorry for the consumption of those 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?" Trazyn 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 Slaanesh army put down all restrictions and burdens. Their disadvantage in the face of the Khorne army was just that they were worried that mortals could not withstand the blows of the two corrupt winds. After all, the Volskani did not have the subspace resistance provided by the life vaccine.
The Slaanesh demons performed rituals in the depths of the dead planet to summon reinforcements. In just a few days, a small part of the land that was originally soaked by the power of the Blood God was firmly grasped by Slaanesh.
The scarlet and purple-pink lights impacted and ravaged each other, and no one was willing to give in. Seeing their homes being ravaged by demons like this, even the most hard-hearted mechanical priests would sigh for a long time.
In the end, trillions of angry roars and trillions of joyful screams burst out from the center of the earth. The entire planet shattered in an instant, and the half-real and half-illusory rocks and dust violently shook the unstable space. The sages deployed all detectors to collect rare data in the heroic scene of the planet's death.
"This scale is a bit too large." Trazyn was a little worried. If the Blackstone Array was used to forcibly seal the rift, the energy consumed would exceed his budget.
Feeling Orikan's cold warning eyes, Trazyn felt bitter.
Trazyn ordered the technicians to prepare to activate the Blackstone Array. For a moment, all the planets with Blackstone Spires in Agrippina and Cadia 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 Spires 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 vessels pointing at 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 Spires 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, and stitched the broken space back together like a thread.
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 if he had no 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 he almost acted at the same time as the malicious voice.
"Backtrack!"
"Big failure."
