Chapter 250: Ceremonial Battleship

Abaddon is surrounded by the elite of the Black Legion, veterans of the Long War, ready to accompany the Warmaster to seize Cadia.

Abaddon listened to the report and was also informed of the commotion in the Chaos warship.

Even the Spirit of Vengeance appeared to be at a brief standstill.

An inexplicable roar echoed in the battleship.

Gao Yi's power made the machine soul in the battleship feel pain.

But the Spirit of Vengeance had been corrupted for too long, and there was no chance of it ever returning to normal.

It didn't take long for the chaos on this powerful Queen of Glorious class battleship to be quelled.

The blessing of the subspace that far exceeds that of ordinary chaos enables it to resist the invasion of Gao Yi's purification code.

Listening to the reports from the black oil men, how could these oil men who believed in Vashtor not understand his power.

"Why could Vashtor's power be mastered by humans?!"

Isn't what's happening in the Chaos Fleet at this moment exactly the same as when they invaded the human warships with Chaos Scrap Code?!

It's just in a different form.

Abaddon could not care less, and he had no means of countermeasure. The Chaos warships could only rely on the power of the Warp and the possessed demons to offset this influence.

At least the Black Legion's fleet has not completely lost its combat effectiveness.

The Chaos Wizards who are trying to land by force are also ready.

It has come to this point, there is no turning back.

Looking at the planetary shield that still covered Cadia and seemed to be indestructible, Abaddon gave the order for a general attack.

The presence of those SCVs means that as long as there is one shield array still functioning, it can be repaired.

Krave Bastion, the shield array, and most importantly the Blackrock Plains were all attacked at the same time.

Whether the shield array is destroyed or the obelisk above the Blackrock Plains is destroyed, Chaos will win, forcing Creed to disperse his already limited forces.

Abaddon himself and the elite troops around him walked into the opened portal.

The Blackstone Fortress held back the Phalanx, which posed the greatest threat, and the Spirit of Vengeance also targeted the Phalanx, while the rest of the Imperial warships could only barely interfere with the Chaos landing force.

Fortunately, Gao Yi's interference reduced the number of troops that Abaddon could deploy.

Galadon watched as countless landing capsules headed for the surface of Cadia, even those rebellious Chaos Titan legions, but he was powerless to do anything.

All weapons using physical ammunition were almost out of service, and when he wanted to use energy weapons to destroy the troops approaching Cadia, the Blackstone Fortress would block the Phalanx.

Energy weapons are too inefficient in breaking void shields.

However, the fleet led by Guilliman was unstoppable and took advantage of this opportunity to tear apart the enemy's formation. More than a dozen warships that were intended to tear apart the enemy's formation had even broken into the enemy's formation.

"Kall, Pavian, your work here is done. I need you to go to Cadia, especially you, Kall. The cracking of the Blackstone Obelisk requires your help. Activating the Blackstone will be the key. Otherwise, the current number of Blackstone Obelisks will not be enough to curb the expansion of the Terror."

"Lord Gao Yi, I'm glad that you trust me, but it's impossible to crack the Black Stone in such a short time. I need a lot of time. The technology of the Necrons is far more difficult to crack than I imagined. I think it's more important for me to stay here to assist Lord Guilliman and win the battle in the void.

This way I can have enough time!"

"Don't worry, as long as you study the Black Stone, a Necron who likes to collect figurines will definitely come to you! He will try to tell you how to activate the Black Stone, but I'm not sure whether he will offer any deal.

Pavian, if it's not too much, you can agree to it for me first."

"Collecting figures? Necrons?"

In the end, Kaul and Pavian urgently boarded a Gorgon and headed for Cadia.

At the same time, the changes that Gao Yi and others least wanted to see occurred in the enemy fleet.

After confirming that the Chaos fleet was entangled with Gao Yi and Guilliman's fleets and could not be separated in a short period of time, several Chaos warships also began their own plans.

The few warships at the rear of the enemy fleet were scattered among the various warships. The blasphemous summoning ceremony was finally coming to an end. These warships had been at the rear of the fleet and had not joined the battle.

However, the distance they were at was far beyond the range of the Empire's conventional warships.

But when the purification codes invaded the Chaos ships, they were not greatly affected.

The subspace energy has accumulated to the point where it has almost condensed into substance. There is no need for any summoning rituals. Colorful demons who believe in different evil gods will come to these warships on their own initiative.

There are almost no normal crew members inside these warships.

The internal structure of these warships has also undergone tremendous changes.

A large number of bulkheads were removed just to make room for the ship.

The ships were crammed with slaves far beyond the population limit they were designed to carry.

These slaves included soldiers, civilians, loyal psykers, and even some captured loyal Astartes.

The more powerful the soul, the more suitable it is for sacrifice, and the souls of the loyalists now become material for Chaos' profane rituals.

The ritual began to take effect, and the chaos array drawn with blood on almost every part of the battleship began to efficiently absorb the souls of the humans in the battleship.

The human who was still struggling and screaming, trying to find a way out, felt his body begin to disintegrate and his soul being extracted the next second.

The Chaos Sorcerer looked at the Black Templar Astartes who was tied to the sacrificial platform and had his power armor removed.

"If you believe in the Corpse King's soul like this, the gods will surely be satisfied!"

The ritual dagger was stabbed into Astarte's chest, and then his two still-beating hearts were taken out alive.

It didn't take long before countless corpses piled up inside the warships, and the flowing blood soaked almost every part of the deck.

The chaos array that was infiltrated with blood also began to continuously spew out the energy of the subspace.

At this time, the interiors of the four ceremonial warships were temporarily linked to the subspace.

The cultists, who were still in flesh and blood, laughed crazily as the energy of the warp was changing their bodies.

Blood rose from the deck floor in defiance of the laws of physics.

Countless strange visions filled the interiors of these warships.

Cultists and wizards gathered around the corpses, chanting spells from the dark gods.

They are welcoming the arrival of the demon primarchs.

For this goal, they have completely become slaves of the evil god and are willing to sacrifice everything they have.

And when the last note of the spell stopped, these cultists and wizards picked up the ritual daggers of chaos magic and stabbed them into their own hearts or slit their own throats without hesitation, or even chopped off each other's heads.

They used their lives and souls to facilitate the final step of the ceremony.

A giant chaos eight-pointed star array appeared out of thin air on the armored hulls of these warships.

Warp rifts large enough for warships to pass through are being formed through blasphemous rituals aboard these warships.

When this rift appeared, Guilliman and Ferrus both frowned.

They felt it, felt that their rebellious brothers had arrived here
