Chapter 490

It just had to be at this time, it just had to be at the most dangerous moment, that the Blood God's rage was ignited within Erebus's body, scorching his body, whipping his soul, and urging him to corrupt Titus.

It was not without a price that Khorne lent his most powerful Demon Prince besides Angron, the Seed of Destruction, to Erebus; Erebus had to bear the Blood God's rage with his own flesh and be controlled by the Blood God's will, in order to ensure that Erebus followed the Blood God's will, corrupted Titus, created a brand-new, powerful Chosen or Demon Prince for him, and acted on Khorne's will in the mortal world.

At this very moment, Erebus could not defy the Blood God's will and had to take huge risks to corrupt Titus.

Otherwise, the Blood God's rage would burn Erebus to ashes, and the Seed of Destruction would also betray Erebus.

Erebus gritted his teeth, go for it!!

Facing those Astartes pouncing toward him, the chilling blood tides wrapped around Erebus condensed into form again, turning into a Khorne behemoth that pounced toward the Ultramarines and Flesh Tearers.

Erebus took the opportunity to wield the ritual dagger in his hand, splitting space in the blink of an eye, carving a hole in reality, and flashing his figure into it.

This ritual dagger could not resist Saint Doraemon's props and could only move within this cabin.

Behind Titus, a rift appeared accordingly; Erebus crawled out from the rift, wielding the obsidian longsword turned from the ritual dagger, and swung it toward Titus.

The blasphemous evil shadow of the old Rival Blade reappeared in Erebus's hand; that Murder Sword, which had once killed the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang's father and son, was chilling and terrifying, stabbing toward Titus's back with an extremely fierce and inexplicable posture.

Titus hurriedly turned around, wielding the chainsword in his hand named "Innocent" to block Erebus's weapon.

"Ultramarine, can you still not hear it?"

"The Blood God is roaring for you, summoning you to the Eightfold Path of Blood."

"You can burn this galaxy, you can gain unparalleled glory."

"Think of the betrayal, suspicion, and torture you have suffered, and awaken the anger in the depths of your heart."

Erebus's voice was extremely seductive, inducing Titus to fall into the path of Khorne.

"My anger is only directed at the enemies of the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang." Titus's body rotated, the martial arts learned from Khârn, Seth, and Sharrowkyn were displayed, and the chainsword roared fiercely, actually making Erebus retreat repeatedly.

Erebus had to growl a few cold spells, letting the psychic energy explode between the two, temporarily pulling away from Titus.

Then Erebus took the opportunity to raise the obsidian blade in his hand to his lips.

"Demetrian Titus." Erebus whispered coldly.

The old Rival Blade had once been collected by the Interex Federation, but those scattered human groups did not know the true origin of this weapon.

This was the first weapon forged for murder, dug out from the chalky soil, shaped in one hundred and thirty hammer blows, and used to complete humanity's first murder.

And in humanity's long history, this weapon had committed countless murders in different forms, killing one hero after another who had once influenced or led a human group: Enkidu, Tutankhamun, Caesar, Oda Nobunaga, Archduke Ferdinand, Rosa Luxemburg, Trotsky, Sadat, Horus...

Countless murders nourished this weapon, countless murders raised the obsidian, countless murders gave him power.

One only needed to whisper the name of the Murder Sword to this sword, and this sword would fix the murder as destiny, almost never missing.

Although the Rival Blade had been smashed by Erebus into eight ritual daggers, there was still the lingering power of the past within the daggers.

The ritual dagger had already marked Titus; being murdered by this blade was already his destiny.

Thus, Erebus followed the guidance of the dagger and swung the blade toward Titus.

The obsidian blade flashed with a deadly brilliance, brutal and hungry, as if it couldn't wait to tear Titus's flesh.

That swordsmanship was so fierce and vicious, it simply didn't look like Erebus was wielding the dagger, but rather the dagger was guiding Erebus; Titus growled, swung his sword, and blocked.

A dense obsidian sword net flashed, stabbing toward Titus; Titus wielded "Innocent," barely blocking this storm-like attack.

Malice, Titus keenly sensed the malice; scorching malice flashed in the sword, and the desire for murder was drooling over Titus.

Sweat flowed down Titus's hair.

In terms of technique and strength, he would not lose to Erebus, but Titus could feel that in the Warp, beneath reality, a deeper enemy, a cold and cruel destiny, was approaching him.

That was the destiny the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang's father had once borne.

That was the destiny the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang's son had once borne.

That was death, destined murder.

Titus didn't know how to resist that destined death.

But he was not afraid.

If death is irresistible,

Then before destiny arrives, swing the sword in your hand more at the enemies of humanity.

"You cannot escape."

Erebus whispered:

"The Blood God is staring, the Blood God is watching, the Blood God craves you."

"Chant with me, Blood for the Blood God—"

"Baal Impact!!!" Before Erebus finished speaking, a heaven-shaking roar rang out from mid-air.

The pitch-black Dreadnought fell down like a meteorite from beyond the sky, and the heavy Dreadnought body smashed straight toward Erebus, who hadn't reacted.

"Erebus! Mongrel! Traitor! Taste your Grandpa Kaso's Baal Impact!!!"

Kaso, who had flown into the sky with the help of the Bamboo Copter, had been watching the entire battlefield; noticing that Titus was in a predicament, he did not hesitate, directly using the instantaneous acceleration given by the Bamboo Copter to dive toward Erebus.

Erebus didn't even have time to dodge before he was crushed into minced meat by Kaso's butt.

"Thank Kaso, Ultramarine kid!!!" Kaso wielded his Storm Claw and shouted at Titus.

Titus opened his mouth slightly; he could feel it.

That cold feeling hidden in the Warp had not disappeared.

Destined murder was still approaching him.

No escape.

The corpse under Kaso's butt turned into a Tzeentch Great Demon with naked muscles in the blink of an eye.

Destiny had quietly undergone the most rugged change.

The obsidian blade stabbed from the void, tearing open Titus's power armor, stabbing in from his lower back and out from his chest, and blood flowed down accordingly.

A scorching pain surged out from Titus's body.

Erebus, whose bird-shaped tattoo on his body was one less, stood behind Titus, stabbing the ritual dagger into his body firmly.

Also surging into Titus's body was the Blood God's rage.

Savage laughter rang out at this very moment, the Blood God let out a sharp war cry, Titus's eyes went black, and he only felt scorching yellow sand hitting his face.
