Warhammer: Lord of the Endless Monster Horde [142] (R18)

Additionally, for the second purpose, Rhodes intends to take the Slaanesh Slayer to the Ultramar 500 Worlds, to the home planet of the Ultramarines, Macragge. He wants to see if this Ace slayer, who possesses the divine power of Slaanesh, can extract the Warp energy from the neck of the Primarch Roboute Guilliman without relying on the power of Yvraine.

Logically, this shouldn't be too difficult. The divine power possessed by the Ace Slaanesh Slayer is not much weaker than that of Fulgrim, the Daemon Prince of Chaos. For the slayer, the divine energy of Slaanesh is nothing more than sustenance and can be completely extracted.

Of course, just to be safe, Yvraine, the future emissary of the Aeldari God of the Dead, must also accompany them. Taking a double-insurance approach is essential—if the plan fails, things could get very awkward. Based on the timeline, by the time Rhodes returns from Holy Terra, the 13th Black Crusade will likely have begun, and the Aeldari Dark Reapers will be summoned into the material world.

As for why the Chaos Daemon Slayer hasn't returned to the ship, the Harlequins had no intention of asking. After all, everyone has secrets. The Laughing God specifically instructed them that no matter what Rhodes does, they must not leak any information or inquire about their actions. Their only role is to serve as tools for the Webway, helping to transport anything the slayer needs, as long as it doesn't involve the Black Library.

The group quickly returned to the city of Commorragh. Rhodes and the Harlequins each boarded their ships. For the next period of time, Rhodes stayed reclusive aboard the Pedan ship, using the latest enhancement serums to strengthen the body of Elena, elevating her physical condition to the standard of a Space Marine.

At the same time, he vented his frustrations caused by being around the Eldar women. While they were stunningly beautiful, they were off-limits—an agonizing situation for him.

The captain's chair creaked under Rhodes' massive frame as Elena straddled him, her enhanced body pressing against his armor. Her newly amplified curves fit perfectly in his lap as she ground against him teasingly. "Let me help you relax, lord Rhodes," she purred, her voice dripping with desire.

Rhodes growled hungrily, capturing her mouth in a deep, demanding kiss. His hands roamed over her body, squeezing her enhanced breasts roughly. Elena moaned into his mouth as he pinched and twisted her sensitive nipples. The genetic modifications had made her chest fuller, and more sensitive - and Rhodes was appreciating the improvements.

"Mmm, you like my new body, lord Rhodes?" Elena whispered breathily. She gasped as he buried his face between her chest, sucking and biting the tender flesh. His tongue sent jolts of pleasure through her body.

Sliding to her knees between his powerful thighs, Elena freed his massive cock from his armor. "So big as always," she moaned, wrapping her lips around the thick head.

Rhodes groaned deeply as she took him deeper, her enhanced throat accommodating his impressive length.

"That's it... take it all," Rhodes commanded, tangling his fingers in her hair. Elena hollowed her cheeks, sucking him enthusiastically while her tongue swirled around his shaft. Her augmented muscles let her deepthroat him completely, nose pressed against his pelvis.

Rhodes suddenly lifted her onto the command console, spreading her legs wide.

"Need to be inside you," he growled, positioning his slick cock at her entrance. Elena cried out as he thrust in roughly, stretching her tight pussy around his thickness.

"Yes! Fuck me, lord Rhodes!" Elena screamed as Rhodes pounded into her relentlessly. Her enhanced body could take his brutal pace now, meeting each thrust eagerly. The console rattled beneath them as he fucked her with superhuman force.

When Rhodes finally came with a roar, flooding her with his hot seed, Elena's orgasm crashed through her enhanced nervous system like a supernova. They collapsed together, panting and satisfied - though Elena knew her lord would be ready for more very soon. The serums had given her the stamina to keep up with his endless appetite.

Still trembling from their first climax, Elena slid back down between Rhodes' powerful thighs, her eyes drinking at the sight of his magnificent cock glistening with their combined fluids.

"Let me clean you up, lord Rhodes," she purred, running her tongue along his length.

Rhodes groaned deeply as she took him into her mouth again, savoring their mingled taste. Her enhanced senses made every detail more intense - the musky flavor, the throb of his pulse against her tongue. She moaned around his shaft as she devotedly licked him clean, making sure not to miss a single drop.

"Such a good girl," Rhodes rumbled approvingly, his fingers tangling in her hair. Elena preened at the praise, sucking him until he was rock hard again. Rising gracefully, she turned and bent over, gripping the captain's chair's handles.

"Please, lord Rhodes... take me again," she begged, wiggling her ass enticingly. Her improved flexibility let her arch her back perfectly, presenting herself for his pleasure. Rhodes growled hungrily at the sight.

His massive hands gripped her hips as he thrust into her roughly from behind. Elena cried out in ecstasy as he filled her, her enhanced body eagerly accepting his size.

"Fuck... still so tight," Rhodes grunted, setting a brutal pace.

The serum had made Elena's skin hypersensitive - every squeeze of his fingers sent electric jolts of pleasure through her. Rhodes kneaded her full breasts roughly as he pounded into her, pinching and twisting her hardened nipples.

"Yes! Use me, lord Rhodes!" Elena screamed as he fucked her relentlessly. Her enhanced muscles clenched around his thick shaft with each thrust. The wet sounds of their coupling echoed through the bridge as Rhodes claimed her again and again.

His unlimited stamina let him maintain the punishing rhythm until Elena's legs were shaking. When he finally roared his release, pumping her full of his hot seed once more, her orgasm made her collapse against the chair.

Rhodes held her close as they caught their breath, his still-hard cock buried deep inside her. Elena smiled contentedly - her enhanced body was made for this, made for him. And she would happily serve her lord Rhodes' needs as many times as he desired.

...

Rhodes also administered the monster gene-enhancement serum to the remaining Space Marines. Although they'd undergone surgical modifications, this serum acted directly on their genes, making it suitable for them as well.

After injecting Rhodes' monster gene serum, these super Space Marines experienced a doubling of their strength. Their speed and agility also improved significantly, far exceeding the enhancements ordinary humans would gain from the serum. In the future, this monster enhancement serum could be incorporated into the Space Marine modification process, further amplifying their power after their surgeries are completed.

Rhodes would also occasionally spar with Lelith to hone his combat skills.

...

One day, as Rhodes was preparing to head to the arena to practice his martial skills, he was stopped by Titus.

"Lord Rhodes! If you're looking to hone your combat techniques, then my brothers and I in the Deathwatch are more than willing to help you. There's no need to spar with those Xenos."

Previously, Titus assumed that Lord Rhodes had come to Commorragh for some important matter. But it turned out he was just there to practice his combat skills!

Seriously? Lord Rod, you have an entire squad of Space Marines at your disposal, yet you're choosing to spar with the Eldar instead? This was a huge blow to the Deathwatch, who prided themselves on being experts in combating Xenos. They were masters of tactics and combat techniques, and their hand-to-hand combat skills were second to none.

If it came down to a one-on-one fight, Titus was confident that, with his current physical condition, he could take down the Dark Eldar arena champion. After being enhanced into a super Space Marine, Titus had a clear understanding of his strength. Even without wearing power armor, he could easily defeat his former self. The enhancements in strength, defense, and speed were monumental. In fact, with his new Terminator armor, Titus was feeling bold enough to consider challenging the Custodes.

"Titus, my adjutant, I haven't forgotten about you all. However, my physique differs greatly from yours. For someone of my size, the Dark Eldar arena champion is a better sparring partner for honing my skills. But if you're willing to help, we can spar after I return," Rhodes replied.

"Lord Rhodes, we will continue to hone our combat skills. We look forward to the day we can assist you," Titus said.

"Good! Let me share some good news with you. In less than a month, we'll be heading to Holy Terra," Rhodes announced.

"Lord Rhodes, are you saying you're going to Holy Terra? But weren't we planning to go to the Ultramar 500 Worlds to save the Primarch?" Titus asked, surprised.

"That matter will have to wait. A key individual still needs a few more months to awaken. Without her help, we cannot dispel the Warp energy. Moreover, the most important reason for going to Holy Terra this time is to repair the Golden Throne. You might not know this, but the Golden Throne has malfunctioned," Rhodes explained, detailing the issues with the Golden Throne and informing Titus and the others that, due to certain circumstances, the Inquisitor had invited him to Holy Terra as a Haemonculus to assist in repairing the Golden Throne.

Hearing this, Titus nodded in understanding. Repairing the Golden Throne was indeed more critical than reviving a Primarch. Furthermore, the three human scientists from the Golden Age were far more reliable and safer for this task than relying on Xenos.

"Lord Rhodes! Are you saying that this time you will take on the appearance of a Dark Eldar? But why not go as a human?" Titus asked.

"There are many reasons, but the most important one you already know. Many of these High Lords and Inquisitors have long been corrupted by power.

 Before the Primarch awakens, I cannot reveal my true identity.

 So, if we are to go to Holy Terra, you will also need to hide your identity and disguise yourselves as my Eldar bodyguards," Rhodes said.

"I understand, Lord Rhodes. I'm willing to disguise myself and follow you as a bodyguard. However, I have an unusual request—may I ask if you'll grant it?" Titus hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Speak," Rhodes nodded.

Could it be that Titus wanted to go to the Imperial Palace with him and catch a glimpse of the Old Man on the Golden Throne?

"Lord Rhodes, if possible, when we arrive on Holy Terra, I would like to ask you to arrange a duel. I want to challenge one of the Custodians!" Titus said with a faint smile.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The Custodians have always looked down on the Space Marines.

 When they refer to the Space Marines, they often say there are only two kinds: those who have betrayed, and those who are about to betray.

 Now that he had undergone the Super Space Marine enhancements and taken the monster gene serum, his height, and strength were, in his opinion, not far off from the Custodians.

 So he wanted to test himself against these Custodians, who had been cooped up in the Imperial Palace for ten thousand years, and see which was stronger: the Space Marines, who had fought on the battlefields to protect the Imperium, or the Custodians, who had stayed within the palace walls.

This time, he was going disguised as an Eldar bodyguard, so the Custodians would undoubtedly fight him with all their strength.

"So you're asking me to arrange a duel between you and a Custodian?" Rhodes looked at Titus in surprise.

Titus was indeed strong—he had punched out a Daemon Prince, kicked down a Greater Daemon, torn apart a Hive Tyrant, and his combat power was undeniably formidable.

 Now, with the Super Space Marine enhancements, he was stronger than a Primaris Space Marine. Add to that the newly modified Terminator power armor from Salome, and the gap between him and a Custodian was much narrower.

 Even if he couldn't win, he wouldn't lose instantly. Titus might very well be able to take down a Custodian.

 Moreover, Rhodes could use this opportunity to test the combat capabilities of the Super Space Marine enhancements. The Custodians were undoubtedly the best test subjects.

"Lord Rhodes, if it's too difficult, forget I mentioned it," Titus said.

"No, this could work. Once we arrive on Holy Terra, I'll find a way to provoke the Captain-General of the Custodians and arrange for you to duel one of them. But do you have the confidence to win?" Rhodes asked.

"Lord Rhodes, my current strength is far superior to what it was before.

 I can now defeat my previous self without wearing power armor and emerge completely unscathed. Please trust my combat experience," Titus said.

If he didn't have confidence in his abilities, he wouldn't have proposed a duel with the Custodians.

"Hahaha! No problem!

 Leave it to me. In the meantime, prepare yourself and adjust to your best condition.

 I'll find time to have your power armor sent back to Salome for further upgrades to increase your chances of winning," Rhodes said.

"Thank you, Lord Rhodes!" Titus nodded in satisfaction, bowed to Rhodes, and left.

"Lord Rhodes, you shouldn't have agreed to his request.

 A mere Astartes challenging a Custodian? That's too foolish," Chaplain Magro approached Rhodes and shook his head.

The Custodians were incomparably powerful; the only ones who could defeat them were the Primarchs. Space Marines simply didn't stand a chance.

"Don't lose faith in yourselves—have faith in the Super Space Marine enhancements.

 You've all undergone the Super Space Marine surgeries and are now Super Space Marines, far stronger than ordinary Space Marines.

 You are the products of a new era, while the Custodians are relics of a time over ten thousand years ago.

 This duel is destined to go down in history," Rhodes said.
