It swung its scepter, meeting Alpharius's Pale Spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alpharius's arm went numb. He tried to grip his spear, but the worm-creature's strength was beyond imagining. The spear flew from his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A burst of bolts fired from the right. Rukul and the other Alphas opened fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The worm-creature contracted, the rounds sliding past its side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its extended arm lunged. Necrotic fluid instantly burned through armor. Energy tore Alpharius's flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Agony wracked Alpharius. He had experienced fire and acid, but now the molecules of his body were being torn apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flesh dissolved, exposing bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Primarch was not completely incapacitated. He returned fire with his pistol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hole as wide as the Primarch's thigh opened in the worm-creature's torso. A plasma blast burned through a large mass of maggots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alpharius's body began to regenerate, but his rapid healing was no match for the writhing maggots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the flesh on his right chest could reknit over the bone, his strength was no match for the worm-creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A worm-arm lashed towards his head. Alpharius watched calmly, sidestepping smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A screaming power spear impaled the worm-arm. The grip was Omegon's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alpharius retrieved the Pale Spear. He and Omegon stood back to back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their movements synchronized. Back to back, four arms, two spears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alpharius parried a necrotic beam with the Pale Spear. Omegon thrusts, impaling an attacker trying to exploit his brother's damaged armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alpharius's spear tip sliced through a worm-foot reaching for his brother's. Omegon's spear thrusts into a worm-arm, stopping the descending scepter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Omegon dodged. Alpharius struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand now why some of our brothers are so fond of battle,\" Alpharius said to Omegon, breathing in rhythm with him. \"It feels different when you are whole.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Khorne watched the brothers, pressed together, with no guard against each other, completely trusting one another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were a single soul in two bodies. When whole, they far exceeded fighting alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they shifted between attack and defense, the worm-creature's wounds multiplied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Twin souls, tacit understanding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his vision, a cobalt-blue figure also charged the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the worm-creature tore through Marius Gage's cobalt-blue armor, Guilliman's fury boiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bolt guns mounted on the Hand of Dominion roared, each round striking a different point on the xenos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The worm-creature twisted, dodging most, but one bolt exploded on its left arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It ignored the wound, raising its scepter. Emerald energy flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guilliman couldn't discern its firing pattern. He only heard a crackle. His iron halo deflected the shot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deflected ray, unfortunately, struck an Honor Guard member in cobalt-blue armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The armor crackled, dissolving in the necrotic fluids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guilliman saw the exposed bone of his son and roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hand of Dominion activated with crackling arcs. A smooth, blue force field enveloped the massive mechanical fingers and the bolter beneath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He charged. But with another bizarre crackle, an evil beam struck him. His iron halo did not activate this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The agony of burning and corrosion made Guilliman roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His entire left arm went numb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Primarch was not completely incapacitated. He forced his numb fingers to pull the trigger, unleashing a dense barrage at the xenos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The worm-creature flattened and contracted. The rounds slid past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadows spread. Before Guilliman could react, the worm-creature reformed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It swung its scepter. Guilliman raised his just-regained arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Power fist met necrotic scepter. Guilliman felt the xenos' terrifying strength. The battered flesh of his left arm screamed in agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guilliman raised his right hand, grabbing the xenos' right arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maggots writhed under his gauntlet. His gauntlet began to smoke. Necrotic fluids ate through the ceramite, seeping into his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The worm-creature knocked Guilliman down with its scepter. \"Meat-thing, your time is up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its vox-synthesizer spat barely recognizable Low Gothic, a hissing sound as if filled with slime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will savor your flesh. I hope it's tasty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xeno scum, die!\" With a roar, the Primarch's Honor Guard surged from both sides, unleashing a dense barrage at the worm-creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clusters of maggots exploded. The worm-creature was forced to drop its food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Honor Guard quickly formed a shield wall before Guilliman, buying him time to rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The worm-creature made a sound like a human chuckle as it slipped into the Honor Guard's ranks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maggots grew. Its wounds healed faster than a Primarch's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guilliman roared, watching his sons pierced by evil beams, their bodies torn apart by worm-arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hand of Dominion slammed into the ground. He grabbed a krak grenade and lunged over the last fallen Honor Guard member.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shockwave hurled cobalt-blue corpses, also throwing the worm-creature into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Meat-thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A worm-arm seized Guilliman's chest, but his eyes were only on the xenos that had slaughtered his Honor Guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blue light shrieked, tearing the necrotic shroud. The Hand of Dominion slammed into the worm-creature's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guilliman activated the krak grenade and shoved it into the slime-filled cavity. The frantically writhing maggots tried to push it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guilliman raised his right arm and slammed it down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grenade was driven deep into the xenos' body. Guilliman's right arm was also submerged in the pus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grenade exploded. The worm-creature's body was blown apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clusters of worms scattered, slapping against the cobalt-blue armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corrosive fluids ate at the Primarch's armor and flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Primarch's regenerative abilities fought the invading necrotic force. Guilliman gazed sorrowfully at the strewn corpses around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He staggered and fell, caught by the arriving Gren Vosotho.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The majestic figure on the brass throne praised with a single word: \"Courage!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze moved to the final figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hair was disheveled. His sword was bloodstained. The light of battle blazed in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His black armor, trimmed with gold, charged the xenos. He held his sword before him, deflecting the emerald beam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the impact in his palm, he twisted his wrist, letting the blade, pushed towards his body, slide aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lion watched the worm-arm, moving the moment it rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Honor Guard followed, desperate to aid their father, pouring bolts into the xenos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Necrotic beams struck them. Black corpses fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lion moved in a spiraling step, just as he had learned from Luther, appearing before the worm-creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swung his sword, but before it met the scepter, he suddenly twisted, severing a mass of worms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Khorne, enthroned on the brass throne, watched the Lion constantly shift his balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He attacked while defending, defended while attacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He watched the endless, unbreakable spiral of defense and offense and praised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Attack, defense, skill, balance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you enjoy the story, my p@treon is 30 chapters ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[email protected]\u002FDaoistJinzu\u003C\u002Fp>",1147,"2026-06-06T05:05:27.789Z",1,"novelbin.me","a5433a341aafd91eace7695115b8703537a543dc8d044ab41a5ae191c7c23b78","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-633","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-632",698,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-cover.jpg"]
