Wouldn't Ka'Bandha just be rushing to his own death?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, it was best to stay as far away as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fear the Savior had instilled in Ka'Bandha ran deep—it was a mental scar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even against Sanguinius had he ever felt true fear—only seething hatred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Accursed One's power had inflicted an indescribable torment upon him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that torment had become transferred onto the more tangible figure of the Savior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ka'Bandha's heart burned with rage, frustration, and an unfulfilled need for violence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to do something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, he remembered the scent he had detected on the battlefield—the scent of the Blood Angels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a faint trace of it was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he couldn't deal with the Savior for now, why not take out his wrath on the Blood Angels?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ka'Bandha had already begun planning his revenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Savior—he would wait for the right moment, probe his weaknesses, and then claim his head!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having made up his mind, Ka'Bandha exhaled a wave of scorching heat and awaited Khorne's command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This gathering of the Blood God's demons must have a greater purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Brass Throne\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From atop the Brass Throne, Khorne, after issuing the bounty, also declared several war preparations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood God had sensed a shift in the material universe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumors had spread through the Warp—the Imperium sought to revive a Primarch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was what truly concerned him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Accursed One's champion had only just appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And while certainly a threat, he could not alter the greater war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Primarch, however—that was a true nightmare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't just about personal might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real danger of a Primarch lay in the millennia of accumulated legend and authority behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The emergence of the Great Rift had fractured the Imperium, stretching it thin across countless conflicts, pushing it toward collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if a Primarch returned...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could unite the Imperium once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A reunited Imperium would hinder the spread of slaughter and destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this wasn't just Khorne's concern—none of the Chaos Gods wanted this to happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After issuing his war preparations, Khorne dismissed his daemonic horde.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alone in his Brass Hall, the Blood God fell into contemplation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was considering the Accursed One.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Ka'Bandha's return, Khorne had directed his awareness to inspect the region in question...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he found nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, the Accursed One's energy had been there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had even been mingled with another presence—one that Khorne despised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That presence belonged to the Accursed One's champion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This eerie and inexplicable phenomenon reeked of conspiracy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Khorne suppressed his mounting rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought of his most hated foe—that ever-changing trickster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That wretch had always schemed against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That wretch had even corrupted his once-favored Skarbrand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A plan so devious and elusive...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Khorne had every reason to believe that this was Tzeentch's doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Trickster God must have used the Accursed One's power against him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Khorne sensed a prying gaze from that scheming coward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tzeentch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old grudges and new rage surged within the Blood God like a volcanic eruption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Khorne struck back at the intrusive gaze!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what, he would find an excuse to hack that scheming wretch to pieces!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Realm of Tzeentch\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A labyrinth of impossible geometry stretched endlessly—a crystal maze of shifting, polished surfaces that reflected nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corridors endlessly appeared, dissolved, merged, split, and twisted in random directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the heart of the maze lay a hidden library.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A timeless Hall of Infinite Knowledge, home to the legendary Well of Eternity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enchanted waters within the well could reveal countless unseen threads of fate across the cosmos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the crystal labyrinth, a massive iridescent mass of ever-shifting forms hovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One moment, it took the shape of a vulture-headed, multi-winged daemon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, it became a grotesque giant, its oversized head protruding from its chest, two venomous serpents writhing on its shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, its form morphed again, twisting into an incomprehensible array of shifting shapes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the Changer of Ways—Tzeentch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments earlier, the Lord of Change had sensed a disturbance in Khorne's domain and cast a probing gaze toward it...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only to be met with a massive, rage-fueled blood-axe swinging at his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden attack shattered part of the crystal maze, even reaching the library itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then another blood-axe came hurtling toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tzeentch barely blocked it, momentarily stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning his gaze to the enormous blood-red shadow, his voice dripped with disdain:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You brutish oaf—do you seek war?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chaos Gods were far from allies—they were eternal rivals and schemers, locked in endless conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet their grudging stalemate had lasted eons, held together only by necessity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For despite their hatred for each other, the Chaos Gods shared a common enemy—the Accursed One.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A full-scale war between them would only weaken them all, leaving the Imperium and the Accursed One an opportunity to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clash between Khorne and Tzeentch soon drew the attention of two other Chaos Gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two new figures emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was swathed in pink mist, exuding an aura of pleasure and torment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other radiated a sickly green glow, carrying a stench of decay yet watching with an air of strange affection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They remained silent, merely observing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Khorne's voice boomed with wrath:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Was it not you who caused the disturbance in my realm? You sow chaos in my domain, and now you dare feign innocence?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you meddle again, I will unleash my full wrath upon you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Khorne swung his axe one last time, dealing even greater devastation before vanishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to his Brass Throne, Khorne felt somewhat appeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was... satisfying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the crystal labyrinth, the two other figures faded away, leaving Tzeentch standing alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.....????\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't even do anything!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tzeentch, of course, knew that brute had manufactured an excuse for violence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But such blunt and crude tactics... disgusted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had he retaliated, Khorne would have immediately escalated the conflict into an all-out war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The labyrinth and the library would have suffered immense damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tzeentch despised such senseless destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He preferred manipulation, gradual descent into madness, weaving intricate webs of fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sudden, chaotic, uncontrollable mess—infuriating!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the blink of an eye, Tzeentch composed himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I must stay rational. I must stay in control.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calming himself, he began plotting his revenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ka'Bandha... yes, Ka'Bandha would be the perfect pawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he sought to understand the real cause of this entire mess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Khorne's message reached the other Chaos Gods—the so-called Savior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tzeentch gazed upon the image of the Savior...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And immediately sensed something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something was wrong with this image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that meant only one thing—a mystery to unravel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Approaching the Well of Eternity, Tzeentch reached out, searching for the true threads of fate behind the Savior...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Check Out My Patreon For +20 Extra Chapters On All My Fanfics!!][[email protected]\u002Fzaelum]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[+500 Power Stones = +1 Extra Chapter]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Thank You For Your Support!]\u003C\u002Fp>",1362,"2026-06-06T13:29:01.688Z",1,"novelbin.me","b68bb3a38815e04bacaba5e353a86900b9d46eb748f0cac4212987aaa8b28af7","warhammer-starting-as-a-planetary-governor-chapter-210","warhammer-starting-as-a-planetary-governor-chapter-208",771,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarhammer-starting-as-a-planetary-governor-cover.jpg"]
