Chapter 238 Open the door, the court! (Ten)
[Accompanied by your desperate and crazy attack. ]
[One after another, the Astartes' chainswords and power swords slashed at your power armor. ]
[In the blink of an eye, horrible cracks appeared one after another, and even the broken ceramic steel fragments were scattered all over the ground.]
[You relied on the almost tenacious defensive capabilities of this set of machine soul great joy power armor, and the agile steps under your feet that dared not stop for a moment, and barely avoided the subsequent damage of the terrorist attacks again and again. ]
[With a ferocious expression, you drove the battered power armor and rushed into the defense array of the Truth Seekers.]
[You continue to wield the chainsaw sword and the power sword in your hands, and with great difficulty, you open up a small space for yourself to barely survive.]
["Battle sisters of the Scarlet Rose! The success or failure of destroying heretics depends on this one move! For the Emperor!"]
[Sister Jaina suddenly lets out a battle cry.]
[She led the squads of combat nuns forward quickly and launched another charge.]
[They took advantage of the brief gap you created through your desperate attack, and gradually tore open a larger offensive channel in the defense array of the Truth Seekers.]
[For a moment, the terrifying aura of these battle nuns who seemed to have gained great power made it impossible for the Truth Seekers in front of them to maintain a basic defense array.]
[As more Astartes Brothers continue to die, the defense array that has blocked you for too long completely collapses.]
[However, just as you completely broke through the last defensive array of the Truth Seekers. ]
[You also drove the damaged power armor, trying to get close to Amani who was still brewing chaos sorcery. ]
[Accompanied by the continuous impact of the chaotic spiritual energy that burst out in circles. ]
[One after another, Tzeentch's marks with a blue halo suddenly appeared out of thin air on the power armor of each battle sister, and were heavily branded on their flesh and blood bodies. ]
[Even on the half of your face that was exposed, there were clearly traces of Tzeentch's marks flashing with blue halos.]
[You instantly feel the pain of your physical strength and power rapidly fading away.]
[You even had trouble holding the power sword and chainsword in your palms, and almost lost important weapons.]
[You can only half-kneel on the ground, gasping for breath.]
[At this moment, the situation of the battle sisters who were branded with the mark of Tzeentch was not optimistic. ]
[Both their forward steps and the strength of their weapons gradually weakened.]
[What was even more infuriating was that every time the Astartes monks who had regained the upper hand killed a battle sister, the opponent's already broken body would instantly explode into a mass of bloody and fleshy fragments that splattered everywhere.]
[It brought both mental and physical damage to the surrounding fighting sisters who were still fighting tenaciously with their strong will. ]
["Hehe, you didn't expect this, did you? This isn't a sorcery that opens a demon portal… You guys really got fooled!"]
[At this moment, accompanied by a burst of ethereal laughter. ]
[Amani's eyes were filled with a thick blue halo, and his originally human body suddenly swelled up rapidly.]
[Instantly, a huge figure wearing a gorgeous blue wizard robe inlaid with gold, with a vague and illusory face always hidden in the shadow of the hood, hugging six blue arms, slowly appeared in front of everyone.]
["Tzeentch's horror… a changeling!" You subconsciously opened your blood-red eye and recognized the name of the Tzeentch demon in front of you. ]
["Hehe, a rude and stupid human being… Eh? Your soul is not the original one…" A magic wand spirit appeared out of thin air in a blue-skinned hand, and its illusory face kept twisting and changing.]
[It stares straight at you and says with a smile.]
["It's you! Inquisitor 'Steel Skull'! A traitor who betrayed the camaraderie of the Chapter!"]
[The next moment, Captain Gallus suddenly interrupted the Chaos Ritual and turned forward in his Terminator Power Armor.]
[With feathers and scales all over his face, he suddenly stretched out a metal hand and grabbed the silver metal skull that you had no time to dodge.]
["Lies! You are a lie! Lies! The Emperor is also a lie! Lies… The Way of Change! Only Saint Tzeentch!" Chapter Master Gallus, who is becoming more and more corrupt, screams at you. ]
[You wanted to detonate the hot melt bomb hidden under the power backpack, but the continued weakening mark of Tzeentch made it almost impossible for you to move. ]
[Accompanied by the other party's five metal fingers gradually tightening. ]
[The majority of your silver metal skull begins to make horrific noises of distortion and deformation.]
[Your brain appears to have suffered irreparable and fatal damage. ]
[You couldn't help but open your blood-red eye wide, and let out an irresistible and tragic howl.]
["Boss! Hold on! I'm coming!"]
[At the critical moment, a familiar and honest voice seemed to pass through the barriers of space and quickly reached your ears where you had shed countless blood.]
[Bombs from the storm bolter continued to bombard the Terminator power armor of Captain Gallas.]
[The violent explosion of fire caused the opponent's tall body to fall back, and he subconsciously loosened his hand that was holding your silver metal skull.]
[At the same time, several hot melt bombs with dripping sounds quickly cut through the chaotic spiritual energy that had not yet dissipated completely, fell above the head of the changeling, and then exploded with a loud bang.]
[The extremely terrifying explosion and scorching heat of the melta bomb instantly submerged the huge body of the changeling.]
[The illusory face hidden under its hood seemed to shake violently, and it couldn't help but let out a painful scream that echoed throughout the hive.]
[Three blue-skinned arms and most of the blurry body covered by a blue and gold-studded robe were also evaporated in an instant.]
[The huge shock wave from the melta bomb even affected the Astartes who were slaughtering the battle sisters, giving the battle sisters who were holding off the opponent's attack a brief opportunity to counterattack.]
[At this moment, you vaguely feel the gradual dissipation of the mark of Tzeentch, and the lost physical strength and power are returning to your mortal body. ]
[Immediately afterwards, a blood-red, nimble figure suddenly passed through the scorching heat that had not yet dissipated, and leaped toward the sky above the Changeling.]
[A high-raised power claw swung viciously towards the illusory face of the changeling hidden in the shadow of the hood. ]
["Damn demon! Repent to the Emperor!" Sister Jaina roared in mid-air.]
[The next moment, accompanied by an extremely terrifying scream of pain and a powerful impact from the chaotic psychic energy, the spirit whose head was smashed by the power claw gradually dissipated in front of everyone and completely returned to the subspace belonging to chaos.]
[You struggled to hold up your bloody body, and the strength and stamina you had just lost completely returned, and you are much stronger than before.]
[You opened your blood-red eye wide.]
[You seem to have unexpectedly sensed the returning power, the malicious blessings sent by Khorne...]
[You relied on your rapidly expanding terrifying brute force to quickly prop up the power armor that had lost its driving force because it was too damaged.]
[The power sword and chainsword held tightly in both hands slashed at the nearby Chapter Master Gales without hesitation.]
[You smashed the heavy ceramic steel shell of the opponent's power armor into pieces, making a loud shattering sound.]
[Your two weapons are deeply embedded in the chest of Captain Gallus, and force him to kneel on the ground. ]
[You blinked your blood-red eye slightly, staring at Chapter Master Gales, whose face was covered with more signs of corruption.]
[Then, you pulled the two weapons mercilessly.]
[Captain Galles, who was still trying to break free from the weapon's grip, was completely ripped open by you, and gradually stopped his last struggle and breathing.]
[You stare at the other person's gradually cold and broken body, and take a deep breath.]
[You expressionlessly loosened your grip on the weapon and sat down heavily on the ground.]
[At this moment, Sister Jaina holding a power claw slowly drives the blood-red power armor and walks in front of you. ]
["You are filled with the stench of Chaos... Inquisitor Steelskull, you have been contaminated by the power of Chaos. Although you have proved your loyalty to the Emperor by preventing the advent of demons... But I cannot watch you fall. You must pay with your life to make the final confession and atonement!" Sister Jaina said to you in a sonorous and powerful voice.]
[You took a deep breath and nodded slightly in agreement.]
[You calmly made your final request to the other party.]
[Sister Jaina promised you that she would treat Smart Head Zhuaganbao and his Ogryn team well.]
[Then, you turned around and smiled at Smart Head Claw Genbao who was trying to move forward but was stopped by the battle nuns one by one.]
[You slowly stood up from the ground and half-knelt in front of Sister Jaina again.]
["Respected Judge, may your soul finally return to the Golden Throne…"]
[As soon as the words fell, a power claw filled with a deep blue energy field swung down gently, completely shattering your deformed silver metal skull.]
[Your fading vague consciousness seems to hear the angry roar and crying from Smart Head Zhuaganbao.]
[You slowly fell into what seemed like eternal darkness.]
[At the same time, an illusory human soul seemed to bow to you, and then dissipated into the endless darkness.]
[You seem to have let out a final sigh.]
[You are dead.]

Overall, this short story is a failure. I wanted to write a story about Tzeentch corrupting the Astartes, and the protagonist trying to break the situation, which was also involved in the battle of wits and courage between the factions of the Inquisition. Later, I found that it was too complicated and meaningless to write in that way, so I finally returned to the hack-and-slash story. In addition, Amani was originally set as the assassin of Callidus, and the protagonist did not die at the hands of the Grand Sister, but was killed by the assassin after the war. The writing was not strong enough and the foreshadowing was not good, so it was completely changed.
