Chapter 185: The angels are okay, just a bit worse than the Ultramarines
Erwin walked out of the combat pit step by step with an expression as if he had lost a Chapter brother.
The power axe that was their Chapter relic was taken away by the Astartes warrior wearing metallic blue power armor, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Dante raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a strange expression.
Then he noticed that not only Erwin, but many battle brothers from different Chapters had similar expressions.
Empty, dead, traumatized, and carrying some grief of life being worse than death.
"My Codex of Fists!!!!" Crimson Blades Chapter Master Kaen hugged his head and howled from the side: "How am I supposed to explain this to the past Chapter Masters!!"
Dante noticed that the power fist "Codex of Fists", the Chapter relic he was holding, was gone.
Counting the previously inexplicably disappeared "Blade of Haldros", Kaen had already lost two Chapter relics on Baal.
Dante's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Most Chapter relics were not only powerful master-crafted weapons, but also carried the history of the Chapter. Each one was a treasure cherished by each Chapter, used only by the most excellent warriors. For example, the Baal Hammer used by Blood Angel First Captain Karlaen, the Mortalis Axe in Dante's hand, the soul sword Vitalus in Mephiston's hand...
Of course, the Spear of Telesto, which had once been used by Sanguinius, was also a Chapter relic of the Blood Angels, but its preciousness far exceeded that of conventional relics.
"Counting Erwin, this is the twelfth challenger. The Chapter relics of eight or nine Chapters have been lost to that mysterious metallic blue power-armored warrior."
Just when Dante had not fully understood the current situation, Chief Blood Priest Corbulo walked to Dante's side.
"Lost?" Dante was slightly stunned: "Not stolen by an unclean blue round hand?"
Hearing Dante's words, Corbulo was stunned, seemingly not understanding what Dante was talking about.
"No... although it is very uncomfortable, that Astartes warrior did indeed win more than ten Chapter relics in a fair and just way."
Dante raised his eyebrows, signaling Corbulo to explain.
"This morning, Lord Mephiston brought this Astartes warrior. He claimed to be from an Ultramarines Chapter that did not want to reveal its name..."
When saying this, the corners of Corbulo's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly:
"He said he accidentally learned of the disaster Baal was facing and came to support Baal as an individual. And... and he brought a relic, a relic related to Sanguinius."
"The moment that relic was taken out, almost all the warriors flowing with Sanguinius's blood felt a resonance. It was a resonance from the depths of the soul."
"This blue-armored warrior announced: He was willing to hand over this relic to Sanguinius's descendants, but there were so many Chapters present that he really didn't know who to hand it to."
"He believed that only Sanguinius's most excellent descendants were qualified to obtain this relic."
"So maybe we should use combat to resolve the differences. Whoever can defeat him first, this relic will belong to which Chapter first... Of course, if they lose, as a return, the challenger must also gift the blue-armored warrior a Chapter relic of their own Chapter."
"..." Dante looked at the blue-armored warrior under the stage, and then looked at the dejected Chapter warriors all around, and couldn't help but twitch his mouth: "So there are no successful challengers so far, right?"
Corbulo nodded dejectedly: "All defeated."
"At first it was Chapter Master Kaen of the Crimson Blades. They previously mistakenly thought Guilliman was their gene-father, and there were almost no relics related to the Archangel in the Chapter... 'Codex of Fists' is not a relic that a Blood Angel successor Chapter would have, so Chapter Master Kaen wanted to win the relic in the blue-armored warrior's hand for his Chapter."
"How was the battle?" Dante asked with twitching facial muscles.
"... To be honest, Chapter Master Kaen's strength is good, and his combat experience is obviously richer, but that blue-armored warrior is faster, stronger, and reacts faster than Chapter Master Kaen, and he mocks and lures Chapter Master Kaen into making mistakes from time to time. After a few rounds, Chapter Master Kaen was defeated and lost the first blood to the blue-armored warrior."
Dante nodded slightly upon hearing this. Kaen's failure was not beyond Dante's expectations.
What really made Dante curious was whether Kaen's combat experience was richer than that blue-armored warrior because the blue-armored warrior had not yet fully adapted to the body of the material universe?
"After Chapter Master Kaen fell, that blue-armored warrior said with regret that he thought Sanguinius's descendants would be more excellent."
As Corbulo said this, his face also became ugly. The mockery contained in this sentence was too strong.
Dante also understood that this was no longer just about relics.
An Ultramarines warrior, carrying a relic related to Sanguinius, challenged more than twenty Blood Angel successor Chapters on Baal. After defeating a successor Chapter Master, he sighed that Sanguinius's descendants were not excellent enough...
According to Dante's understanding of these blood brothers of his...
"Subsequently, Chapter Master Goron of the Divine Angels was a bit anxious. He directly stated the fact that the Crimson Blades had mistaken their gene-father, and bluntly declared that it was precisely because of this reason that Kaen's weakness was caused..." Corbulo's expression became even more f***ed up as he spoke:
"Then Chapter Master Goron lost a relic pistol 'Blood Eagle's Fire'."
Dante glanced at Chapter Master Goron of the Divine Angels, who was sitting beside Kaen in confusion.
Goron and Kaen's relationship was not good before, because the Divine Angels Chapter believed that those who fell into the Black Rage were not worthy of sympathy, and they fell into it because of their own weakness.
And the Crimson Blades, because they had no experience in dealing with the Black Rage before, led to many who fell into the Black Rage in the Chapter, plus the fact that the Chapter recognized the wrong father, the relationship between the two had always been a bit wrong.
"To be honest, I had a prejudice against you before," Goron looked at the empty holster at his waist, his mouth trembling slightly: "You actually fought quite well... The experience is very old-fashioned, very powerful."
"No, no, no, you fought quite well too... It's a pity, it's a pity." Kaen patted Goron on the back, comforting him.
After truly facing that blue-armored warrior, Goron also seemed to understand that Kaen's defeat was not because his own strength was not good, but because the opponent's speed and strength were terrifyingly strong, and he would release some strange attacks from time to time, plus that mouth that made people lose their reason. Goron's performance was actually not as good as Kaen's.
Thus, Goron recognized the strength of the Crimson Blades, and Kaen also comforted Goron with high emotional intelligence. The relationship between the two actually became good in an instant.
In fact, not only them, but all the Blood Angel successor Chapters in the Angel's Well began to unite against a common enemy.
They stared at the blue-armored warrior with anger. In an instant, all previous contradictions yielded to the collective glory of Sanguinius, and the resentment between each other was transferred to the Ultramarines far away.
"Although your Chapter is addicted to some art, it is not bad compared to the Ultramarines."
"Although you despise mortals, you are generally stronger than those pretentious Ultramarines!"
"We are all blood kin. Let's put aside the contradictions between us for now. Protecting the honor of Sanguinius's descendants is the most important thing... What do you think about letting the Librarians play? Does psychic power have any effect?"
Dante looked at this scene, and for a time, he couldn't help but laugh and cry.
The warriors of various Chapters were gathering together, communicating tactics, and discussing how to defeat the blue-armored warrior below.

Then a Librarian from the Tomb Guardians Chapter went on stage.
The first Chapter Master of the Tomb Guardians was the famous Zephon the Bringer of Sorrow. This Sanguinius descendant from the Great Crusade era had his legs and arms severed by aliens and had to be implanted with a large number of cybernetics, but due to rejection, he could not participate in combat... But in the end, this warrior overcame the rejection through some means and even participated in the Webway War.
However, the reason the Tomb Guardians became the representative of various Chapters to test the Librarian psychic tactics was not because of the legend of the first Chapter Master, but because...
The Tomb Guardians had a large number of relics, many of which could even be traced back to the Great Crusade era, and they were the most wealthy part of the various successor Chapters.
In fact, according to Corbulo, this was already the third time the Tomb Guardians had gone on stage.
That Tomb Guardian Librarian raised his voice, trying to suppress the blue-armored warrior through psychic power of the mind system, or at least create a brief opportunity.
But the blue-armored warrior seemed completely unaffected. His speed was extremely fast, as if the power armor on his body was fake, not made of ceramite, but kneaded from light clay.
The blue-armored warrior arrived in front of the Librarian in the blink of an eye. The Librarian hurriedly propped up a psychic shield to block.
Yet the blue-armored warrior shattered the Librarian's psychic shield with a light punch, and the fist stopped in front of the Librarian.
"You've conceded," the blue-armored warrior said lightly, reaching out to the Tomb Guardian Librarian.
That Librarian sighed and took off a small instrument from his waist and handed it to the blue-armored warrior.
"Chapter relic 'Cage of Sorrow', can release a stasis field with a diameter of about two meters."
After saying that, the Librarian nodded at the blue-armored warrior. There was no grief of losing the relic on the Librarian's face, only the regret of failure.
Then this Librarian immediately joined the discussion of the warriors, trying to find the weakness of the blue-armored warrior.
The blue-armored warrior glanced around, his gaze stopping on Dante for a moment, and then he chuckled twice and said:
"I heard long ago that Sanguinius's descendants are excellent warriors. Today's battle is indeed well-deserved!"
"Just a little bit worse than the Ultramarines... Hmm, just a little bit."
In an instant, the field was full of noise, and Sanguinius's descendants were full of anger.
Dante sighed. He didn't expect the various successor Chapters to unite like this.
"Let me see that relic!!!" Before Dante could speak, he heard a roar full of bloody aura coming from the entrance not far away.
Yoll, Chapter Master of the Blood Knights, wearing a helmet, walked into the Angel's Well, his bloody aura surging, seemingly full of anger.
The blue-armored warrior smiled lightly, his fingers moved...
Dante felt his soul jumping in an instant. On the item that appeared in the blue-armored warrior's hand, it was full of the sacred aura of Sanguinius.
