Chapter 495
In the previous cabin,
The Seed of Destruction was bathed in blood, covered in wounds, looking exceptionally miserable.
His opponent, Khârn, was in a similar state; the two fought to a degree that made people fearful.
But these two killing gods had no intention of stopping at all, but rather fought more and more fiercely, fighting more and more bravely.
And on the other side, the Great Demon Fatty's figure became somewhat erratic, seemingly about to dissipate.
There was a wound on his chest left by Be'lakor's Shadow Blade.
Zhou Yun could be certain that Be'lakor had recovered part of his past power; presumably, Tzeentch and Khorne had loosened some of the shackles imposed on him and returned the power that had once been bestowed upon him.
His power had recovered to a level surpassing that of an ordinary Chief Great Demon, surpassing the Great Demon Fatty, almost equivalent to a secondary Warp god.
Although the Great Demon Fatty had severely wounded Be'lakor, he was ultimately defeated in the fierce battle.
The Great Demon Fatty's body shook a few times and finally turned into light spots and disappeared in place.
On the Lightbringer, Zhou Yun opened his eyes slightly and looked into the Fourth-Dimensional Pocket at the Great Demon Fatty, who was composed entirely of Warp energy.
The Great Demon Fatty was a demon and also possessed the demon's quality of being immortal; what Be'lakor destroyed was only the Great Demon Fatty's body in the material universe. Given time, using a large amount of prayer and emotion as guidance, the Great Demon Fatty could re-condense a material body and reappear in the material universe.
Although the Great Demon Fatty was solved by Be'lakor, Zhou Yun was not anxious; Be'lakor regaining part of his past power did not exceed Zhou Yun's expectations... well, or rather, it did not exceed Guilliman's expectations.
Guilliman analyzed the psychology of Khorne and Tzeentch; Khorne craved a new Chosen, Tzeentch craved revenge on Zhou Yun, and it just so happened that both had lost their most useful Great Demon and Chosen, and the risk of deploying a Demon Primarch was too high. Under pressure, it was entirely possible to loosen some of the punishment on Be'lakor and let this first choice step up.
Although it was foreseen by Guilliman, Guilliman was Zhou Yun's Demon Prince, and Guilliman's wisdom was Zhou Yun's wisdom; there was no need to distinguish so clearly in the family.
But as long as Slaanesh and Nurgle were still on Zhou Yun's side, as long as these two gods maintained restrictions on Be'lakor and did not let Be'lakor recover to his peak state, he could not pose a real threat to Zhou Yun.
After all, besides the Great Demon Fatty, Zhou Yun had another Great Demon in the Blessed Lady...
Just as Zhou Yun intended to cast his will back to the Blessed Lady, a message suddenly came to Zhou Yun's mind along with the Lightbringer.
That was news from Kossolax, from the Conqueror.
Be'lakor's state was very poor; when that Great Demon Fatty saw he couldn't defeat him and was pushed to a dead end, he actually chose a suicide attack.
At the same time Be'lakor's Shadow Blade pierced his body, the Great Demon Fatty also took the opportunity to bring his mouth to Be'lakor's ear and released that terrifying song at Be'lakor's ear; this song directly damaged Be'lakor's soul, shattered Be'lakor's mind, and completely deprived Be'lakor of his hearing.
In a state where Be'lakor's soul was shattered and his sanity was nearly lost, he didn't even have time to confirm the Great Demon Fatty's death before he fled in a panic using shadow teleportation, scurrying into this cabin.
And the terrifying aura released by Titus all over his body stimulated Be'lakor, who was not clear-headed; Be'lakor instinctively wanted to backstab Titus, but Titus defended against it by relying on the prophecy ability given by Konrad Curze.
"Innocent" and the Shadow Blade collided continuously.
Relying on that part of the power given to him by Konrad Curze, Titus was actually able to block Be'lakor, who was severely wounded, for a short time.
Be'lakor, who had recovered a little consciousness, instantly found that his situation was very bad.
His state was too poor, and this Ultramarine before him was clearly a bit strange; even if Be'lakor didn't fear him, if the time dragged on and Khârn solved the Seed of Destruction and freed his hands, Be'lakor in this state would face the pincer attack of Titus and Khârn.
Wouldn't that be a dead end?
And the Raven of Omen, Sharrowkyn...
Be'lakor in this state absolutely couldn't block Sharrowkyn's sniping; the Raven of Omen could rush over from the previous cabin at any time and then hide in the shadows to snipe Be'lakor.
Be'lakor quickly realized that he had to find a way to recover some state immediately.
He had to find a soft persimmon to pinch, and this soft persimmon couldn't be too soft; his soul must have a certain power, because Be'lakor wanted to kill him, devour him, and use his soul to recover his state.
First, this Ultramarine named Titus was excluded; the feeling his soul gave Be'lakor was very wrong, and Be'lakor even suspected that he couldn't digest his soul at all.
Then there was the cursed Kaso... that Death Company Dreadnought had clearly fallen into the Black Rage, and his soul belonged entirely to Sanguinius; Be'lakor probably couldn't eat him either.
Seth was in a similar situation; this Flesh Tearers Chapter Master was too deeply influenced by the Black Rage, and before dying, it was entirely possible that he would choose to let himself fall completely into the Black Rage, let himself be closely connected with Sanguinius, and become a hard bone to chew.
What about that Khorne behemoth fighting with the Ultramarines and Astartes? I have to say that Erebus had a certain accomplishment in demonology; this Khorne behemoth was not a particularly soft persimmon, and it was very difficult to solve at once...
Watching and watching, Be'lakor's gaze fell on Erebus.
Erebus, who was continuously summoning demons and suppressing Kaso and those Astartes trying to kill him, noticed Be'lakor's gaze, his eyes slightly confused, seemingly not quite understanding why Be'lakor was looking at himself with such eyes.
Soft persimmon...
Be'lakor hesitated almost not at all, and in an instant, he drilled into the shadows.
Before Erebus could figure out the meaning of Be'lakor's gaze, Be'lakor had already drilled out from the shadows and arrived behind Erebus.
Erebus turned his head blankly and confusedly to look at Be'lakor.
Be'lakor grinned, then opened his bloody mouth and bit Erebus's upper body, but didn't bite it off in one breath.
Erebus was stabbed into the flesh by Be'lakor's teeth, struggling in pain, twisting his body.
Be'lakor ignored this ridiculous struggle, raised his head fiercely, opened his mouth slightly, and swallowed Erebus directly into his mouth.
Blood and juice splattered from Be'lakor's lips and teeth, and subsequently turned into rugged muscles and azure feathers in the blink of an eye.
The scars on Be'lakor's body began to heal... but I don't know if it was an illusion, vaguely Be'lakor had a bit of a stomachache...
