Chapter 585: Belial Atrocious! Stubborn Old Black Belial
Rhodes didn't open the system's small gift first, because that was the final surprise. Right now, the first thing he should check was the summoned monster!
This monster, assembled from the summoning fragments, was also a famous existence!
Belial Atrocious! Commonly known as Old Black Belial!
He first appeared in the 2009 movie Ultraman: Ultra Galaxy Legend. He was an Ultraman from the same era as the Father of Ultra.
In the Land of Light, he had quite a high seniority, but later, because he lost to the Father of Ultra in both love and career, he turned dark and touched the Plasma Spark Tower!
He wanted to gain even greater power, but he was discovered by the Father of Ultra and exiled from the Land of Light. He encountered the Reionics and was possessed, turning into a black-and-red skinned form, which was just his initial dark form.
After that, there were the Hundred-Body Monster Belyudra form, the Kaiser Emperor form, the Ultra Galaxy Emperor Arc Belial, the Dark Emperor Kaiser Darkness, and the Dark Zero Ultraman form where he seized Ultraman Zero's body.
And the final form summoned this time: Belial Atrocious!
Looking at Belial's life, it can only be described as tragic. In his youth, he lost to his romantic rival.
He finally escaped from prison, went on a rampage, and flattened the Land of Light, only to be defeated by the rookie Ultraman Zero.
After that, it was a series of failures, and in the end, he even died at the hands of his own son, Ultraman Geed.
Belial is one of the strongest among the dark giants, with strength and presence second only to Dark Zagi!
The Belial summoned by himself wasn't his initial form; it skipped the dark state, skipped the Hundred-Body Monster Belyudra.
It skipped the Kaiser Emperor form, skipped various Belial fusion beasts, and even the dark armor state, directly becoming the ultimate Belial Atrocious.
Belial Atrocious is a super dark giant born from Belial using the Sublimator, combining the power of the Alien Empera and the power of Dark Lugiel.
The two fusion materials are both incredibly powerful.
First, the Dark Universe Emperor Alien Empera—his strength goes without saying. He was summoned by Rhodes earlier and easily defeated the secret weapon used by the Tyranid swarm envoy against Rhodes in the space station.
He also helped the Emperor strip away the Chaos God's godhood. And the other one, Dark Lugiel, his strength is even more unquestionable, with presence and power higher than our Dark Emperor.
His identity is the dark demon god opposing Ultraman Ginga, and he was originally one with Ultraman Ginga.
His weapon is the Dark Spark, which can turn Ultra Warriors and monsters into Spark Dolls, aiming to stop all life and time, and is the culprit behind the Spark Doll incident.
His combat power is insanely strong, the top of the new generation, Ginga's final boss.
When he first appeared, his combat power was extremely high, with overwhelming pressure, but later, with version updates, he weakened.
The most mysterious item, the Dark Spark, can materialize various monsters, evil, and dark Ultraman dolls, and even create clones for subordinates to control.
It can directly give an ordinary person the power to transform into Dark Tiga, no problem. And his height and weight soar directly to zero and infinity.
According to Rhodes's estimation, if he summoned Dark Lugiel, his strength and presence would definitely not lose to Belial Atrocious, and might even be a level higher.
Of course, even though Old Black Belial's fusion materials are those two, it doesn't mean the main body only has partial power.
The powers of those two, plus Belial's own power, fused into a trinity ultimate boss with maxed-out strength and presence.
Belial Atrocious's power is extremely terrifying! He can even absorb the power of the King of Ultra left in the universe, and after appearing, he brutally beat a bunch of characters.
He successively defeated Ultraman Zero in his Ultimate form and Geed in his Royal Master form!
Later, Zero injected the Karelan Molecule into his timer, stopping him from absorbing the King of Ultra's power in the universe, but in the fight with the Father of Ultra afterward, he had the upper hand!
It can be said he had all the advantages of timing, location, and harmony, but in the end, he was plot-killed in another dimension, defeated by Ultraman Geed's Primitive form!
It can be said he debuted with extreme flair, but his curtain call was quite miserable. In this state, Belial has a height of 55 meters and a weight of 55,000 tons. His ultimate move is Atrocious Burst, Belial Atrocious's limit-killing beam.
He poses his hands in a beam-firing shape, releasing red-black lightning and purple beams with power enough to destroy an entire planet.
There's also Energy Reversal, which can convert positive energy into evil energy and seize others' power—this skill comes from the Alien Empera.
In addition, he has Atrocious Slash, Belial Shot, Atrocious Hell Claw, Desium Mother Destruction, Atrocious Tear, Atrocious Roar, Atrocious Impact, and other moves!
And these skills can all be enhanced, but for ultimate monsters, the store must be upgraded to the highest level to enhance them!
For now, Rhodes can only use the initial form of Belial Atrocious, but this version of Belial is enough, after all, it's Old Black's final form.
"This summoned monster is quite powerful!"
In the system space, Rhodes fused the 10 fragments of Belial Atrocious.
"Come out, Belial Atrocious," Rhodes whispered the name. In the other-dimensional space, a black light flashed, and Belial Atrocious, 55m tall and 55,000t heavy, appeared.
A chilling laughter suddenly echoed in the other-dimensional space.
"Hahaha, this great me, am I not dead? This great me has revived. Zero and that Geed kid won't be so lucky this time."
The newly appeared Belial Atrocious said excitedly.
Defeated in the other-dimensional rift by his own biological son—what a frustrating way to die. But the good news is he's revived now.
Although he didn't know why he revived, he had to get revenge on the Land of Light. Belial didn't even notice the tiny Rhodes in his eyes and immediately planned to leave.
As for Tartarus beside Rhodes, his strength made him feel a hint of threat; he didn't want to fight this golden guy. As for the other one, Yapool, he was just a minor character in Belial Atrocious's eyes, not worth a second glance.
"Dark Ultraman, Belial Atrocious, now obey my command. I am your master." Rhodes snorted coldly and spoke.
"Hm? What did you just say? Human, what are you? Who are you to command this great me? I've just revived and am in a good mood—don't force me to kill you." Belial Atrocious turned his head, looking at Rhodes with displeasure.
If it weren't for the guy beside you, I'd have killed you the moment I revived.
At this moment, Tartarus immediately stepped in front of Rhodes, emitting a bright aura all over his body.
Rhodes also gigantified directly, turning into an 80-meter-tall giant, bigger than the current Old Black Belial in size.
"You don't want to serve me? No, no, no, that's not up to you." Rhodes smiled and used the system's power to forcibly suppress Belial.
Actually, when the Dark Universe Emperor was first summoned, he resisted too, but I suppressed him. At that time, the Emperor had just lost to Mebius.
He was in a low mood, so his resistance was weak, and the system successfully suppressed him. But this time, Belial seems a bit different.
This is the first time Rhodes has summoned a monster that dares to resist him.
From past experience, the monsters he summoned were actually ones that had been defeated in the original plot.
For example, the initial Red King, Bemstar, King Goldras, etc., series of monsters were all defeated in the show.
"Why should I serve you? You think you two can handle me?" Belial Atrocious was about to make a move when he felt a terrifying will starting to suppress his mind.
A terrifying consciousness was altering his cognition, completely rewriting his perception.
The person in front of him is his master, an existence he must be loyal to, even if ordered to die, he cannot disobey.
He had encountered this situation once before, when he was just exiled from the Land of Light and possessed by the Alien Reiblood. But even the Alien Reiblood, who dominated the entire universe, couldn't make his soul submit.
"Damn you, you actually want to enslave me? Dream on! I won't accept enslavement from anyone. I'm Belial!" Belial roared in fury, firing a black lightning bolt from his hand toward Rhodes. Since this guy is the one causing trouble, kill him first.
Facing the speeding black lightning, Rhodes snorted coldly, casting a barrier emitting white light with both hands, blocking the attack.
Rhodes has now accepted the light and dark power enhancements from the Dark Universe Emperor and the Angel Zog, elevating his overall strength to an unimaginable level.
Though still not as good as those top bosses in the Ultra series, blocking a casual strike from Belial is no problem.
"Follow me, and there are huge benefits. Your strength will reach new heights, gaining even greater power." Rhodes spoke.
"Ahhh! You damned guy, what the hell did you do to me?"
Belial let out screams in the other-dimensional world, dark energy constantly emanating from his body.
This kind of mental control energy is what he hates most. This mental control is even stronger than the Alien Reiblood's that time.
But he's not the same as back then. Now he's Belial Atrocious. The black giant in front of him is already in agony but still resisting the system's cognitive modification.
"Master, his resistance is extremely strong. Among many monsters, dark Ultramen, or cosmic beings, there are always some with personalities that refuse to be subordinates." Tartarus, standing beside Rhodes, spoke.
He remembered when he was first summoned, he also tried to resist. After all, he is the legendary ultimate lifeform, the Absolute, Tartarus.
But even as strong as he was, he couldn't resist that terrifying consciousness and eventually submitted to Rhodes, to this master.
"You mean that in the future, the top-tier powerful monsters I summon will all need a period of taming?" Rhodes asked.
"That's right, Master. If it's some low-intelligence, not-so-smart monsters, they can naturally be subdued easily.
But existences like Belial are very difficult. He's not an ordinary person; he's a warlord." Tartarus said.
"When you were summoned, you must have gone through this too, right? How long did you resist back then?" Rhodes asked thoughtfully.
With Tartarus's arrogant personality, even if not as much as Belial, it shouldn't be far off. He must have resisted fiercely back then.
"Hahaha, as you guessed, Master. I did resist for a while, about a few hours!
In the end, you promised me one thing, and I stopped resisting and became your servant." Tartarus said.
"Oh, you've never told me about this. What did I promise you?" Rhodes asked curiously.
At this moment, Belial Atrocious was glaring at the chatting duo with eyes spitting fire. These two guys didn't seem to take him seriously at all.
They must be certain that this terrifying consciousness can modify his cognition.
"Master, you'll know when you summon me. I think that day won't be far off." Tartarus said with a smile.
"I see. So, if I want to fully subdue this guy, I have to make him submit voluntarily?" Rhodes asked, looking at the fiercely struggling Belial.
When summoning the Dark Universe Emperor back then, there weren't so many issues! Speaking of which, Belial Atrocious's resistance is much stronger than the Dark Universe Emperor's.
"That's right, Master. Otherwise, some summoned monsters, even if killed by the system's power, won't submit to you." Tartarus nodded.
Super monsters or top cosmic beings all have their own pride. Otherwise, even in death, they won't accept a fate of enslavement.
Rhodes nodded and turned to look at the Belial Atrocious writhing in pain on the ground.
"Belial Atrocious, you've now come to another universe, different from our previous one. I revived you.
If you're willing to pledge loyalty to me, I can grant you one request that I can fulfill." Rhodes said.
"Go to hell! I'd rather be killed than become someone's slave. I'm not born to be anyone's dog." Despite the intense torment, Belial Atrocious was still extremely stubborn.
"How about I summon Marie for you? Do you want the Mother of Ultra?" Rhodes said with a sly smile.
Belial's blackening was fundamentally because of the Mother of Ultra!
Chapter 586: Subduing Old Black Belial, Ultra Sublimator, Ultra Capsules
Upon hearing this, Belial was stunned at first, his eyes widening in disbelief as he looked at Rhodes!
Then he showed an angry expression!
"You damned bastard, what are you saying? What do you take me, Belial, for?
This great me! Ahh! I—who told you I like her?" Belial looked at Rhodes angrily and questioned.
But this was the deepest secret buried in his heart. The only one who knew he liked Marie was the Father of Ultra, Ultraman Ken!
How does this bastard know? The Mother of Ultra, Marie, is the eternal pain in his heart!
Even after all these years! Every time he thinks of being cuckolded.
Every time he thinks of the Mother of Ultra giving her family heirloom sword to that bastard Ken instead of him, it makes Belial extremely upset!
Why? Bastard! Why, when we both arrived together!
But that woman's eyes only had Ken in them. If the Ultimate Blade had been in my hands back then, the one to unleash true power would have been me!
"Don't you like the Mother of Ultra? Don't you want to snatch her back from your romantic rival?"
After so many years, he's long seen through it. He no longer obsesses over that woman. Now he's the invincible dark evil Ultraman, Belial Atrocious.
When he first escaped from the space prison and attacked the Land of Light, he mercilessly watched the Land of Light being sealed, seeing Marie frozen without any mercy.
He has no lingering feelings for Marie anymore!
So how could he surrender just because the other party says he'll give Marie to him?
"I don't want that at all! I lost interest in that woman long ago. I can kill her anytime, anywhere, as long as she dares to appear in front of me." Belial roared.
What truly infuriates him is that the other party is using this condition to persuade him to surrender!
What do you take me, Belial, for?
"Tsk tsk tsk, still quite stubborn. Wouldn't it be better to obediently accept my control? Insisting on clashing with me here, you could suffer less and even get benefits.
You could become even stronger than before." Rhodes said.
Isn't that right?
With the system store.
The growth potential of monsters summoned by Rhodes far exceeds the originals!
As long as you submit to me, in the future, Belial Ultraman will definitely become even stronger!
"I'll become stronger with my own power! You bastard, cut the crap. Bring out whatever moves you have! This great me will take them all." Belial said.
"Really stubborn! How about you name a condition? What would it take for you to submit to me?" Rhodes asked.
This damned Old Black is really impervious to persuasion. Are the system's top monsters all this hard to tame?
Belial Atrocious directly turned his head away, ignoring Rhodes completely. This arrogant and stubborn attitude left Rhodes somewhat speechless.
The big monsters summoned before weren't like you!
The Dark Universe Emperor and the Angel Zog didn't have this attitude. The Dark Universe Emperor's pride isn't less than yours!
"Belial Ultraman!
I am an Absolute, the Absolute ultimate lifeform Tartarus.
Master possesses unimaginable power. Submitting to Master is your only choice. You should be able to feel the power that revived you and brought you to this strange universe!
How terrifying it is! So stop resisting!
This will only make you suffer more. If you have any wishes, speak them; Master can definitely fulfill them for you." Tartarus said.
When he was first summoned, he also suffered greatly until Master promised him that thing, and he accepted the system's power modification, formally becoming Rhodes's servant.
This Belial is a lot like himself back then, but even prouder, with a strong sense of self-respect.
This self-respect is the root cause of his resistance up to now.
"I want to destroy the Land of Light. I want to exterminate the Ultra Clan, wipe them out completely. I also want to destroy Earth, and I want to kill Ultraman Zero." Belial said.
He wants to reclaim all the failures he's suffered.
"This is a bit difficult. We're in another universe now, and there's no place called the Land of Light here.
As for the Earth here, I won't let you destroy it even more." Rhodes shrugged helplessly.
Destroy the Land of Light? If I had the ability to destroy the Land of Light, the four Chaos Gods in the Warhammer universe wouldn't stand a chance—just surrender!
Destroy Earth? There is an Earth here, but its name is Holy Terra. Destroying Holy Terra would make the Emperor rise up and fight me desperately.
As for some guy named Zero, Rhodes said he can't summon them over.
"This great me! Ahhhh!" Belial suddenly let out a scream, his entire body starting to tremble, even cracks appearing on his body's surface.
"Master, he can't hold on much longer! If he doesn't voluntarily accept this power's cognitive transformation, he'll be destroyed." Tartarus said.
The system's transformation power is quite domineering. If he can't be of use to Master, he'll definitely be destroyed by the system's power!
"You better think clearly, Belial!
If you die, it's all over, nothing left. But if you live, there's still a sliver of chance, right?
You've finally revived, with that tiny bit of hope—don't you want to seize it?" Rhodes persuaded.
This bastard is really unyielding to the death! Is he that tough?
"I, huff huff! One condition. I can, I can find a way to draw Ultraman Zero.
And my rebellious son Geed to this universe. You, you have to help me kill them." Belial Ultraman panted, looking at Rhodes.
No choice; he's just revived and doesn't want to die. Now he can only find a way to step down.
"What are you saying? You can draw Ultraman Zero and Ultraman Geed over? Don't joke!" Rhodes shook his head.
"I'm not joking! I'm serious. I have a way. Our Land of Light has the power to traverse universes.
As long as they discover I'm not dead, as long as they find out I want to make a comeback, they'll definitely come to deal with me. Ultraman Zero is my arch-nemesis." Belial said.
"Alright, I promise you. If Ultraman Zero really comes to hunt you, I'll protect you." Rhodes nodded.
"It's a deal!" Belial nodded at Rhodes, no longer resisting, allowing that power to begin modifying his cognition.
The person in front of him is his master, an existence he must protect and be loyal to with his life, whose existence is above his own.
A few minutes later, Belial Atrocious's eyes emitted a crimson glow, and he knelt on one knee before Rhodes.
"Great Master! Belial Ultraman greets you." Belial said.
"Mm! Rise! Tell me, how do you plan to draw Ultraman Zero over?" Rhodes asked.
To be honest, the idea of poking the hornet's nest of the Land of Light makes Rhodes a bit nervous. And while the Land of Light has universe-traversing tech, that doesn't mean they can cross to here, right?
At most, they traverse parallel universes in the Ultraman series, but this is beyond that concept—different copyrights!
"Master! Trust me, as long as I'm alive, those guys from the Land of Light will be restless. They'll definitely come for me. Ultraman Zero is my arch-nemesis." Belial said.
And that unfilial rebellious son.
Rhodes rolled his eyes upon hearing this. I asked for a method, and you're talking metaphysics to me!
You believe Ultraman Zero will definitely come for you? My damn system can't even bring him over!
"Then when he comes, I'll help you deal with Ultraman Zero! You were once the emperor of the Belial Galactic Empire. The Belial Galactic Empire has a lot of advanced tech!
Like the creation method for Dark Cyclops Cyborgs, and those planet-sized cosmic celestial ships—can you make them?" Rhodes asked.
Besides Old Black's terrifying combat power, the black tech from the Galactic Empire is plentiful. Imperial soldiers and imperial mechs are good stuff, and those octopus-type ships that can cover entire planets are nice too.
"Master! All the tech of the Galactic Empire was remodeled after I conquered local cosmic beings, and it requires special Reynard ore.
Including the Dark Cyclops, they were made by having them reference my memories of Ultraman Zero.
I personally don't like researching that stuff; I just hand it to my subordinates. Do you think I'd bring those things with me?" Belial said.
"." Rhodes.
I was hoping to freeload some Dark Cyclops. Fine, just buy them from the system store! It's not like they're unavailable.
But honestly, Dark Cyclops aren't that useful to me now. The Empire's industry has just managed to replicate the Mechanical Ultra Brothers.
The tech level of Dark Cyclops is something the Empire's oil barons can't handle!
And it's completely unnecessary; the Empire's tech is already enough to crush Chaos, even crushing the Necrons.
"Forget it then! I have another dark Ultraman here named Daram, but he now has the ability to become a giant of light. You two can communicate well in the future." Rhodes said.
"I understand, Master!" Belial nodded at Rhodes.
"You stay here for now!" Rhodes waved his hand, signaling Belial to leave. The other-dimensional world's space is now a full 10 light-years in size, a vast area where Belial can move freely.
"Master, Belial's Atrocious form uses some Belial fusion beast technology, which is a very magical cutting-edge capsule technology from the Land of Light!" Yapool flew to Rhodes's side and said.
He's very envious of the Land of Light's various technologies. Ultra Capsules were developed by Ultraman Hikari as top equipment, storing monster powers!
And Ultraman powers. As long as you use a specific Sublimator to operate, you can extract the powers inside.
"I know Ultra Capsules are very powerful, but we can't get them. Belial isn't a research-type talent. He's good for fighting, but not for research." Rhodes said.
"Master! Belial isn't a research-type, but I am. You can let me study Belial's current body, first make blank capsules.
Then try to activate various monster powers, and future dark giant powers, even Ultra Killer powers." Yapool said.
The form Belial has transformed into now uses Ultra Capsule technology to extract partial powers from two ultimate bosses for a successful transformation, so we can use reverse engineering.
To research Ultra Capsules. Moreover, we've obtained capsule monsters before, so we're not blind to Ultra Capsules.
Balt, Yapool, Salome, and Zett together can definitely reverse-engineer these Ultra Capsules and even develop a Sublimator.
This new type of Ultra Capsule must be paired with an Ultra Sublimator to maximize its effect, reading the monster or Ultraman powers inside and turning them into one's own power.
"Mm! What you say makes sense. Alright, I agree. I'll have Belial cooperate with you for some research." Rhodes nodded.
Ultra Capsule technology can indeed be upgraded. Rhodes has obtained Ultra Capsules before, though they were just for sealing monsters.
But the early tech accumulation is sufficient!
"Thank you very much for your trust, great Master. I won't disappoint you; please rest assured!" Yapool said.
After he left, he immediately informed his other colleagues, and they began researching Ultra Capsules together.
Rhodes nodded and, using the system's power, remotely conveyed the message to Belial, asking him to cooperate with the Ultra Capsule experiments. Belial agreed without a word.
After handling all the miscellaneous matters, Rhodes finally had time to check the other item from this 100-draw: the system gift box.
In the system store, after opening the gift box, Rhodes got two good things. One was a free monster enhancement opportunity, which he had drawn before—saving millions of system gold coins, not bad.
You know, Rhodes has enhanced many times now, and the enhancement price has skyrocketed. This free enhancement opportunity is very nice; every monster enhancement opportunity is precious now.
And the second item gave Rhodes a slight surprise!
Ultra Universe Pass!
With this item, you can traverse to a random Ultraman universe once, staying for 72 hours before returning.
A one-time use item; it will be destroyed after use.
Chapter 587: Great Victory! Slaanesh Falls
This thing is really nice! It can actually traverse to the Ultra world. The Ultra universe has many parallel worlds. As long as I don't go to places with the Land of Light, 72 hours is very good.
72 hours is enough to do a lot! Like getting some Ultra universe specialties! Or kidnapping a few research talents back?
These things are all doable!
However! Rhodes doesn't plan to traverse to the Ultra universe right now. The Ultraman world is still very dangerous.
He must plan well, like arranging things in the Warhammer universe so that if any emergencies occur while he's away, they can be handled.
After explaining everything, Rhodes quickly left the other-dimensional world and returned to Holy Terra.
Upon returning to the real world and seeing Rhodes appear, the Emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief, his tense emotions relaxing at last.
"Rhodes, you kid finally came back!" the Emperor said.
These past few days, he's been restless, with the entire Holy Terra on high alert. The human Imperium had its nerves stretched to the limit; the Emperor even planned to evacuate residents within 30 light-years of the Sol system!
He, Guilliman, and Malcador made many contingency plans to preserve humanity's spark in case Rhodes couldn't handle it.
Even if they lost Holy Terra, they could still function normally.
"After all, it's a Chaos God's godhood; handling it was quite troublesome. But the good news is, I've successfully dealt with this godhood.
Rest assured! He won't pose any threat to us anymore. A Chaos God has truly been eliminated by us." Rhodes smiled and said.
The Chaos godhood matter was indeed dangerous. The early burden was on the Emperor, and the later burden on Rhodes, so it had to be handled cautiously.
"With you saying that, I'm relieved. This Chaos godhood has completely disappeared, right? There won't be a Slaanesh born again." the Emperor asked.
"That's not certain. I can only guarantee that Slaanesh's godhood has been thoroughly eliminated by us now. But if this universe continues to fall in the future.
If some race self-destructs again, a new Slaanesh could still be born." Rhodes said.
The Chaos godhood has indeed vanished. Now, in the Warp, all daemons of the Slaanesh lineage have become undivided Chaos daemons!
Just like over 10,000 years ago before Slaanesh was born. Now, in this universe, that concept doesn't exist until a new race falls again, like the ancient Eldar, birthing Slaanesh once more.
"That won't happen again. I won't let the human race fall. As for other races, with the lesson of the past, they probably won't do such a thing." the Emperor said.
Unless humanity suddenly falls like the Old Ones and disappears from the galaxy, with a new overlord emerging, no race has the ability to birth Slaanesh!
The only race capable of birthing Slaanesh or other gods now is humanity!
But if humanity truly births a sacrifice, it would be the Dark King within themselves, not Slaanesh.
As for the race that once birthed Slaanesh, the Eldar won't self-destruct now. Even if they wanted to, they don't have the population base anymore!
"We still can't let our guard down. We've only eliminated one Slaanesh; there are other Chaos Gods waiting for us!" Rhodes said.
"You're right! For these past ten-plus years, everyone has been on edge, with no relaxation at all. Now we can finally breathe and rest for a while!
Rhodes, the human Imperium is thriving now; our territories are fully connected." the Emperor said.
This is a great victory for humanity, for the living beings of the galaxy's Materium against a Chaos God!
At this moment, they have truly defeated a Chaos God.
"Indeed, we should rest well for a while. How's the situation in the Imperium's dark side?" Rhodes asked.
During this time, he's been busy with the Chaos godhood and hasn't had time to check on the Primarchs in the Imperium's dark side!
"Now, the Imperium's dark side has been thoroughly reclaimed by the Imperium. All human worlds that were once lost or disconnected.
Have all returned to humanity's embrace. Even some new colonies not belonging to humanity have been conquered by us." the Emperor said.
Don't underestimate the new-era Primarchs. Even the old-era Primarchs, with so many thrown into the dark side, it would be hard for Chaos forces to turn the tables.
Rhodes nodded, chatted a bit more with the Emperor, and left the Golden Throne. The Emperor also needed a good rest.
During this time, the Emperor's face had grown thinner again, his once slightly fuller skin drying out.
After all, stripping a Chaos God's godhood is extremely difficult. If the Emperor hadn't recovered some power, plus the faith of all humanity supporting him, he probably couldn't have accomplished such a feat.
After leaving the Golden Throne, Rhodes made his way to the Imperium's administrative department where Guilliman was.
There were many internal affairs talents handling matters here, some from Macragge, some from Holy Terra.
The leaders were Regent Guilliman and Imperial Chancellor Malcador. Now, Malcador no longer resented Primarchs interfering in Imperium affairs.
After all, without these transcendent beings in this universe, the human race might not survive.
The two brightened up upon seeing Rhodes arrive.
"It's great to see you, Rhodes! Your appearance here means our plan succeeded—the Chaos God's godhood was destroyed, right?" Guilliman said.
"You're right, Guilliman. The Chaos God's godhood has been eliminated by us. Now, only three evil gods remain." Rhodes smiled.
In the future, there might be a fourth. If he wants more system crystals, he'll have to make Vashtorr become a Chaos God and then kill him to harvest a wave.
"Hahaha! For how many years have we humans fought Chaos, always on the back foot? This time, we've finally killed a Chaos God.
This is a day that will go down in history. All of humanity should celebrate this great victory." Malcador said.
Once upon a time, when he and the Emperor built the human Imperium, did they ever imagine killing a Chaos God?
The Chaos Gods' power is too immense; they are immortal existences. But now, a person from another universe, a traveler, actually has the power to eliminate Chaos Gods.
"The ordinary people of the Imperium have no idea what happened. They only know the Imperium won a victory, which isn't much different from defeating a Chaos incursion." Rhodes said.
Isn't that right? Ordinary humans, though now aware of Chaos, have no idea what this means!
"We still need to celebrate. I'll notify the Aeldari of this news; they've been anxiously waiting too." Guilliman said.
Now, humanity and the Eldar have formed an alliance. This major victory will be shared with the Eldar; their hatred for Slaanesh is no less than humanity's.
"Mm! You'll be busy for the next while, Guilliman. I won't help much—I'm off!" Rhodes waved, bid farewell to Guilliman and Malcador, and left directly!
After Rhodes left, Guilliman and Malcador exchanged glances.
"Hahaha! What an unimaginable great victory! It's like I'm back 10,000 years ago, during the early days of the Great Crusade." Malcador said.
Back then, the Emperor would send messages to Holy Terra every day: some Primarch bringing great victory to the Imperium, some lost human world reclaimed, some vile xenos eliminated by humanity!
…
Holy Terra immediately notified the Eldar of the complete elimination of the Chaos godhood.
The Eldar's Goddess of Life, the Eldar Laughing God, and even the Eldar God of Death, who had been privately fixed up by Rhodes, confirmed the news' authenticity.
The Eldar's greatest enemy, the daemon Slaanesh that tormented all Eldar souls, has finally been eliminated!
Countless Eldar wept with joy, even the Dark Eldar. These years, they've suffered greatly from Slaanesh; some purple Slaanesh greater daemon would occasionally raid Commorragh.
Ruthlessly slaughtering Dark Eldar members!
The Craftworld Eldar were also notified. The Eldar have walked a path of ten thousand years; they no longer need to follow it. Every Eldar member can freely choose their desired life, no longer suppressing their emotions!
To evade Slaanesh's soul-sucking, the Craftworld Eldar paid a heavy price. For ten thousand years, they almost abandoned emotions altogether.
Now, they can finally regain the feeling of enjoying the seven emotions and six desires.
However, immediately after, the Eldar's Goddess of Life, God of Death, and Laughing God simultaneously issued an order to all ethnic members.
All Eldar members, without exception: you can enjoy emotions, fall in love, find your beloved, no longer suppress your inner feelings.
But remember, do not emulate the ancient empire's nobles in starting that indulgent, luxurious lifestyle.
That is absolutely unacceptable, as it might birth a new evil god, something the Eldar absolutely cannot accept.
All Eldar members prayed to their revered gods, vowing to uphold their oaths and never indulge in sensory stimulations like the ancient Eldar empire.
While all Aeldari celebrated the victory, another good news descended upon the Eldar.
Besides the God of Death, Laughing God, and Goddess of Life, the Eldar now have a fourth god: the Goddess of Love and Beauty, the God of Art, Aisha.
She is the sister of the Goddess of Life and also an Eldar god!
"Praise the great Goddess of Love."
"Praise the great Goddess of Beauty, God of Art Aisha." Countless Eldar began to cheer.
This is a great moment: the Eldar have broken free from Slaanesh's shackles, can finally release their long-suppressed emotions, and have birthed a fourth Eldar god. Humanity also celebrated, but for ordinary people, compared to a Chaos God's fall.
They celebrated more the return of all Primarchs, the Imperium reclaiming countless lost territories, and humanity growing stronger.
Rhodes's two sons were also warring everywhere, for their father, for the human Imperium!
At this time, on the Cosmic Beast Planet, Aisha's body floated in the air, absorbing the psychic power from countless planets and Craftworlds across the galaxy from Aeldari.
After completing the Chaos godhood's sealing and stripping, she returned to Rhodes's side.
At this moment, she felt unprecedentedly good!
This successful elimination of Slaanesh—the Eldar God of Death helped not at all, while she was the key core figure, consolidating her position in Eldar society even more strongly.
Now, the God of Death's position is quite awkward. He was once like the Eldar's savior? But now, with the Eldar's greatest enemy eliminated, this savior position.
Seems somewhat absurd, because after losing Slaanesh's threat, the Eldar are theoretically immortal.
Upon death, they'll cycle through the Warp and reincarnate in the Materium, of course!
This is limited to naturally born Aeldari members; cloned Dark Eldar don't count.
"It's truly peculiar. I once appeared as the fourth Chaos God, and now I'm the fourth born Eldar god." Aisha said.
"You've finally escaped the Chaos godhood's threat. Now, this Chaos godhood has been thoroughly eliminated by me." Rhodes said.
The Chaos godhood has been recharged into the system by him, completely vanishing from this world.
"Indeed, I never thought you could really eliminate the Chaos godhood. I thought you'd give it to one of your subordinates like before." Aisha said.
"Hahaha! Sometimes plans change. It's better to thoroughly eliminate the Chaos godhood, and it can better increase my power." Rhodes smiled.
Isn't that right? For Rhodes now, Chaos godhoods are great stuff—the only thing discovered that can recharge system crystals!
