Chapter 173 - Chapter 173: Mortal Demigod (Part 1)

The battlefield was quiet.

Only the chaotic, fierce winds brought by the great war whistled with icy cold.

Sith appeared prominently above Longlin Star, but everyone, even all the Necrons, stood frozen in place, looking up at the black thunder sun beneath the dim sky before them.

It wasn't until a burst of black lightning became so intense that it couldn't be contained, and a bit of its residual power struck nearby, causing a Chaos vehicle to instantly disintegrate with a roar, that the various parties on the battlefield finally withdrew their gazes and showed completely different reactions!

The first to react were the mixed troops of the Sith Legion behind Sith.

Not only did the Mortals and Astartes cheer with arms raised, but even in front of the other factions, a group of Greenskin Bosses, leading a large number of Siths Boyz that had just grown out of the ground, loudly shouted "Waaagh!" at the crowd.

While there was cheering on one side, there was a completely different mood on the other.

The Necrons, devoid of emotion, continued to mechanically and rigidly execute the orders from Uusbar.

The Imperial side stood stunned, watching Sith, who had completely exceeded their understanding, absorbing the blessings of the seven gods right before their eyes.

Even under their very eyes, among the divine light Sith was absorbing, the portion from the Emperor of Mankind was the greatest!

Coupled with the Legion of the Damneds behind Sith, if it weren't for the fact that Sith also had Greenskins under his command, and not only absorbed the Emperor of Mankind's blessings in public but also the Chaos Gods' blessings, the ground troops would likely not be hesitating right now, but considering how to raise the 'Sith Flag'.

The Necrons were rigid.

The Imperial side was hesitant.

The only faction with a clear attitude and intense emotions was the Chaos Traitors, who had chased Sith across who knows how many star systems.

At this moment, all the Chaos Traitors looked at the war vehicle that had just been destroyed by Sith's residual power.

Regardless of whether they were Mortals or Astartes, they all looked at this black thunder sun with terrified eyes.

Then, the imagined 'rebel massacre' did not occur; instead, the newly awakened Sith suddenly turned around and faced another direction.

A Gauss beam from a Necron Obelisk, carrying surging energy and surrounded by crackling energy lightning, shot fiercely toward the prominent Sith in mid-air!

But as a weapon that could once even harm the C'tan, to the astonishment of everyone watching with wide eyes, the dignified ancient Necron technology only pushed Sith backward; that black thunder sun did not dissipate!

"This mon..."

"No! This human must be some hidden C'tan shard!"

Watching Sith take a Gauss beam head-on in the scene, Uusbar slammed his staff onto the ground. After a loud, crisp sound, his entire metallic frame straightened up, and he spoke with certainty through his audio array.

The only pause in the entire sentence was when he subconsciously prepared to address Sith, changing 'monkey' to the more formal 'human'.

Until the full power of the Gauss beam was exhausted, Sith, trailing smoke and dust across the land, was forcibly pushed back several thousand meters.

Looking at that black thunder sun still flying in mid-air, even the Necrons were stunned this time.

Subsequently, those Necron infantry, who retained almost no personality, also looked up at Sith in mid-air, their small green eyes all flickering in unison.

"With no Chaos God intervening, relying solely on your own physical body to take a Gauss beam of Obelisk level head-on..."

"Facing this kind of thing, is there really any need to keep fighting?!"

The Chaos forces had completely lost heart; a large number of cultist armies and Chaos Astartes began scrambling to retreat in all directions.

The hesitant Imperial side was also completely stunned. Although they hadn't decided whether to continue fighting, after seeing this scene, they readily chose to prioritize defense for now.

Even the six gods in the Warp, seeing that Sith was still alive, felt a bit of relief amidst their regret and silently withdrew their gazes.

Then, the ships trembling in the turbulent Warp, seeing the Sea of Souls suddenly become quiet again, could only look on with ashen faces, wondering what was wrong with these Chaos Gods; how could waves of this magnitude be handled like child's play?

Now, only the Necrons on the other side, refusing to believe it, began to manifest rich Gauss energy again at the top of their floating Obelisk.

Then, with a charging speed far faster than the Imperial war machines, they fired a second shot at Sith.

But just as this second shot was about to hit Sith, a ridiculously exaggerated bolt of black psychic lightning arrived first.

Single person, hand raised, one strike!

When the scene before them was finally digested by the stunned onlookers, these six words could only keep surfacing in their minds.

Then they watched helplessly as the Necron Obelisk was struck by an abnormally thick bolt of psychic lightning, scattering green light everywhere, and crashed to the ground, tilted.

Then, Sith, completely enveloped by psychic energy, raised his hand slightly toward the Obelisk. A luxurious Necron Overlord floated out from the Obelisk, raising his staff and roaring impotently at Sith.

The distance was too great, and everyone couldn't hear what Uusbar was saying at all.

Sith only opened his white-glowing eyes, looked at Uusbar silently, and casually clenched his fingers.

The Necron Overlord's metal body suddenly deformed and compressed, turning into scrap metal amidst flying sparks.

The leaderless Necrons instantly slumped, and as everyone watched the powerful Necrons become the first to be eliminated, they looked at Sith, and whether it was Chaos or the Imperial side, a unified expression appeared in their eyes.

This look was not unfamiliar to each other, because everyone knew that this was the gaze they usually reserved for gods.

Having casually dealt with the Necrons, Sith's lightning-filled eyes shifted slightly and looked at...

Angron!

Lion El'Jonson breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, while Angron, opposite him, had his anger suppressed by Khorne himself, and his briefly rational body actually subconsciously...

Took half a step back!

Lion El'Jonson: "???"

the six gods gradually departed, and Longlin Star returned to normal. Feeling the gazes leave, the various warring parties began to lock eyes with each other.

Even Belakor, who had been quiet for a long time in the distance, flapped his fleshy wings and flew into the air, his eyes filled with extreme jealousy, fixed firmly on Sith.

As a Daemon Prince abandoned by the Chaos Gods, Belakor envied any existence that received more blessings than himself.

And Belakor, who had originally helped Sith on purpose to spite Vashtorr, now regarded Sith as his new enemy.

The first to react to Sith, after Khorne departed and his eyes were gradually enveloped by endless rage again, was Angron!

There was no further retreat, nor was there a complicated battle.

Only Lion El'Jonson, using all his strength with a flushed face, ran into the distance, while behind him, a scarlet giant and a black thunder sun collided in mid-air in front of everyone.

Countless psychic energy splattered, the red sword clashed with the giant axe, and the bloody wind blew everyone's hair backward.

Then, at the moment when everyone's ears were ringing with pain, Angron slammed his twin axes into the ground, sparks flying, and forcibly stopped his body.

He looked up, about to roar again, but the six pairs of eyes that had just departed suddenly returned.

Then, all eyes silently looked at Sith, and everyone on Longlin Star actually felt from the soul level...

Envy?!

The crowd was confused, unable to understand what the six gods were doing this time.

The ships in the Warp, which had just stabilized, looked at the waves surging again before them, could only grit their teeth, bow their heads, and curse wildly in their hearts!

Then, a brilliant golden light burst forth from within Sith!

Watching Sith suddenly turn into a golden thunder sun again, the crowd, unable to open their eyes due to the blinding light, bowed their heads to shield their eyes, and from the depths of their souls, felt that existence known as the 'Emperor of Mankind', right here, right now...

Looking at everything on Longlin Star through Sith's eyes!

The Emperor of Mankind has finally returned!

The Emperor of Mankind has finally, after waiting bitterly for tens of thousands of years, found one who can repeatedly bear his supreme divine power in the material universe...

The perfect vessel!
