(General POV)
Location the Norscan Shores, the Lands of the Graelings-Within Enzium, the Throne Chamber
The battle was over and the Dark Legion, along with their new members and beasts, returned inside of the Living Daemon Fortress, Enzium.
As Enzium started heading east towards Vargs, then south through Norsca into the lands of Sarls which will grant them access to the Sea of Claws, to strike at Kislev from a naval point.
While Laharl and his brothers were discussing their next move, one which is replenishing their daemonic losses Laharl insured them that with the Haz'kariot they can open a breach into each of their personal domains and call their daemons to join them.
So that problem was already solved, as they were in Ixion's Undivided state sitting in the Castlevania style gothic throne, guarded by mortifinis and flesh hounds plus the new decoration and trophy that Khorne truly approves of the split head of the Frost Dragon mounted on the wall behind the throne, they've even have one more addition that has made, the Throne Chamber his home.
The Exalted Manticore of Laharl's own creation, Whiptail, the giant monsters was laying next to them his head resting on the left side of the throne, Nurgle seeing this and realizing that he is now the only one without a loyal beast companion of them three.
Khorne has Karanak, and now Laharl has Whiptail, he should consider gaining his own creature as his companion and attack beast...
But they inner discussions were interrupted by the annoying Speaker, Zxaie-xie, who carefully floated towards them with Laharl and Khorne's daemons immediately stood in front of their dark masters, and showed clear aggression against Zxaie-xie.
He bowed slightly to them, before standing straight and speaking to them, "My Lords, congratulations on your victory over the mighty, Wanderer. But some important questions from the Gods must be answered. How did a non-human achieve the ultimate honor of daemonhood? And what happened to Wulfrik, once you defeated him?"
The Warp Gods knew that these questions, were asked by this welp not the weaker Chaos Gods of this world, they also knew that the Darkoath Savagers, reinforcements that came to aid Wulfrik is obviously his doing as well, if not for the damn trial that the weaker Dark Gods, have placed on them they would have killed the mortal insect...but at last they can't do so yet...
So they responded, "It was the will of the Dark One. He desired a powerful servent and warrior to be apart of our army, hence Kholek's ascension to Daemon Prince. As for Wulfrik's fate, he was taken into the Void, also by the decree of the Dark Harbinger. Does those answer please your curiosity, Speaker?"
As the damn Speaker, said his part and gained his answers, he returned to his plotting and obvious animosity in the corner of the throne room, Nurgle asked his older brother, "Now that...I...remember. That female...and...her...race...that aided...you...in the...battle... Are you...interested...in her?" Nurgle's question, cause Khorne to groan in exasperation.
As the Blood God knew that, that girl, Tai Tai Shien would most likely fall for his brother's wilds, and most likely become his and Nurgle's newest sister-in-law...
They continue to converse about different subjects and things to pass the time.
But regardless they were pleased on their victory gained by their elder brother, and now Wulfrik was frozen and keep in storage until the dawn or the Great Crusade, they can now carry on their campaign to attack Sylvania and then Karak Eight Peaks, but first Kislev must fall.
While all that discussion occurred between the brothers, Khorne asked, "Laharl, now with the battle over and our forces stronger in the mortal aspect of it. What is your state's current status?" honestly both the Dark One, and the Decaying God were curious as well, so they contacted Aillia to bring up the Stats of Laharl's Ixion State.
With a polite and cheery tone, she responded, (Right away, my Lords!), as a transparent blue screen appeared in front of the Warp Gods.

The things that Laharl gained from the battle were good, with the exception of Khorne complaining that they gained [Lesser Magic Manipulation] which made the Dark One and Grandfather laughed of Khorne usual distain of Magic and Psyker Sorcerory.
Now with the World Walkers defeated and assimilate into the Dark Legion of the Damned, their army now was nearly the numbers of the Astarte Legions of 40k, which made the Dark One quite happy.
With that done Laharl decided to contacted Aillia in secret as he needed to check up on the pilling amounts of rewards, that he most likely left gathering dust in the system...
Aillia answered her lord's call, cheery and happy sounding, (Right away my lord. Also you've have gained a lot, as you deserve. (^v^👍)) as the long, long list of rewards appeared before the Dark One alone, he was surprised seems that Aillia now can give thumb-signals, she never ceases to amaze the Carnage God, as he thought that he heard a cute, and happy girlish giggle that meant that Allia was happy with his mental comment.

5.Curses: The dark side of Oaths and Promises, the terrible fate for all oathbreakers as the God that governs all Oaths and Curses, swearing upon anything shall be heard by your divine ears and if one breaks a oath or promise their fates is completely in your hands, or even permanently bound one to their word for to their words to your ear all are bound to their promises.
Laharl was quite pleased, with all he gained especially the power to create whole new daemons, something he'll do immediately after returning to the Warp, but also the new divinity [Curses] basically grants him more ammunition against Tzeentch, and all tzeentchian followers.
This also meant that he'll also be able to handle his future brother when he starts progressing his submission, and "changing" into their actual brother, instead of the Galaxy's greatest scheming troll...
To explain all these new additions to Laharl's overall power apart from [Curses] that as he already read what it can do and represent, he subtlety contacted Aillia within Ixion to explain the new things he has gained, preferably starting with the sub-stat of [Leadership].
Which she immediately replied, (My Lord, Leadership equals Charisma, Persuasion, Commanding and other social qualities all merge into one. With this sub-stat you can drastically improve your leadership abilities in battle and much more!!!) Laharl had to admit he was impressed, as Aillia continued to explain less important things that he gained.
At the end, the Dark One thanked Aillia for her explanations, and told her to rest which she happily thanked, now he has to think what to do next.
Laharl he decide to use his first, Absolute Corruption Ticket/ACT, to summon one of his favorite bosses from Castlevania: Curse of Darkness to become his loyal servent, that monster is the Dullahan.
Dullahan is the boss of the Infinite Corridor.
He is fought in a large square room, the walls of which are covered with alcoves containing hundreds of heads in glass boxes.
The Dullahan, himself is a large humanoid clad in heavy armor and wearing a red coat with a white fur-lined collar over it, he wields a glowing purple sword and shield composed of all the souls he has slain, and both armaments are covered in ghostly purple human faces, with the sword emitting a trail of what appear to be souls.
He shall be the perfect candidate for a Carnage Champion, and quite possibly a future Elder Daemon of Carnage, but for now he'll be another commander for the Dark Legion.
But that shall be for later, first Laharl wants to honor his promise to Khorne giving him a Champion worthy to serve him.
Thinking of all the characters from his former mortal past, for which would be perfect for Khorne, and the Dark One immediately thought of Skarlet, from the Mortal Kombat series.
Originally she depicted as a pure genetic experiment created by Shao Kahn himself through magic and the combination of the blood from countless dead warriors, Skarlet's backstory is retconned in Mortal Kombat 11, revealing she is of Outworlder decent, a starving wretch on the streets of Outworld who was taken in personally by Shao Kahn himself.
While the original story of her was changed she still remains a genetic experiment in a different way, being empowered greatly by Shao Kahn through sorcery, who later taught Skarlet the ways of Blood Magik, becoming a powerful and deadly kombatant in the process.
Due to her affiliation with blood, Skarlet is fascinated by the blood of her enemies she has become basically a vampire and obsessed with spilling and drinking the blood of her victims especially Edanians.
As one of Shao Kahn's adopted daughters, she is a devoted servant of his, doing anything and everything to appease her Emperor, but when she learns of Shao Kahn manipulations and purposely weakening her she'll willingly serve Khorne, to achieve untold power, blood, and more...that when Laharl thought to himself, "Who knows, she might even earn a place beside Khorne as his Second Wife, hehehee." but regardless Skarlet, shall serve as a bloodthirsty, deadly, and worthy as well faithful fighter under the Blood God.
Now that he thought of it many characters from MK would fit as servents of all the Chaos Gods, himself included...definitely a world worth invading and corrupting in the future.
That's when immediately after thinking about Skarlet, Khorne asked him, "Brother? I have to ask, who is this champion you've promise to give me, in exchange for that Dragon Skull?" Nurgle was also curious on this champion as well.
So the Dark One shuke his head and let out a small chuckle, as he started to explain and describe a deadly warrior ninja, name Skarlet...
