Chapter 240 The Eternal God’s Choice
At the same time, the Northland shrouded in darkness was filled with a chilling atmosphere. Not even the icy wind could weaken this terrifying killing intent.
"Hmph!!"
Archaon coldly threw the corpse aside and stood up, his three eyes burning with endless rage. And feeling the anger of this great divine choice, the demons around them didn't even dare to take a breath.
For Archaon, he never expected that the situation would take a turn for the worse in one day. Just before that, he was still confident of victory and believed that the resistance of the Union Army was just a futile struggle. However, just one day later, he felt as if his face had been slapped hard, full of anger and humiliation.
All the Chosen Champions of Chaos were killed, leaving no one alive. The Vanguard suffered heavy losses and completely collapsed. This was an unacceptable failure for Archaon!
However, whether you accept it or not, the outcome is doomed.
Archaon was angry. He always felt that things were different from what he imagined. He sought answers from the Chaos Gods and wanted to know who had ruined his plan. However, the response of the Chaos Gods was ambiguous and unclear, and they seemed not to intend to tell Archaon the truth.
But Archaon knows that this is the test he must face. After becoming the final Lord of the Chosen, the Eternal Chosen, this will be the last and biggest obstacle in front of Archaon. If he cannot eliminate that guy, then he will also fail. In the end, his fate may be the same as the previous sixteen eternal gods - or even more tragic.
We can't let those damn bastards succeed.
Archaon clenched his fists. In fact, this Eternal Chosen God blessed by the Chaos Gods did not worship the Chaos Evil God. On the contrary, he hated these hateful existences extremely. It was because of the curse and despicable methods of the Chaos Evil God that he had to fall into such a situation.
In fact, Archaon has a rather peculiar life experience.
He was originally a knight of Sigmar and an ardent believer. Until then, Archaon had lived his life shouting Sigmar's name to destroy evil and heresy. However, one day, he met a nun who was escorting a book containing a heretical prophecy of the eternal God who would destroy the world to the church. As an Imperial Knight and Sigma disciple, Archaon naturally volunteered to escort the nun to the church.
As a result, he was arrested by his fellow knights.
At that time, Archaon had not thought that he was related to any prophecy of annihilation. He even planned to go with his colleagues to prove his innocence. But before he could get on the road, a group of Chaos Knights suddenly rushed out. They shouted slogans and protected Archaon then attacked the Imperial Knights.
The Imperial Knights who were attacked by the Chaos Knights were naturally shocked, thinking that Archaon had surrendered to Chaos. However, Archaon himself was also confused. Later, both the Chaos Knights and the Imperial Knights were injured and died, while Archaon He could never figure out why he was loyal to the Chaos Knights and why he was declared a heretic.
So Archaon took the initiative to go to the cathedral, knelt before the statue of Sigmar, prayed and longed for the guidance of the god he believed in.
However... I don't know whether Sigma was drunk or asleep at the time. All in all, Archaon did not receive a word of comfort from the gods he believed in. This suddenly plunged Archaon into an abyss of despair. He thinks that even the gods he believes in have abandoned him, so what's the use of reaffirming his faith?
Well... If Duanmu Huai knew this story, then he would definitely lament that the facts are really amazingly similar - this is almost exactly the same as the civil strife in the empire. In fact, there is a joke that has been circulating among the player inquisitors: "As long as the emperor and he If children are left alone for more than an hour, the Horus Heresy will not occur."
It can be seen from this that both the Emperor and Sigma are still quite lacking in the education of their descendants.
Archaon, who did not get a response from Sigma, went berserk. Then he directly killed the church guard, rushed into the archbishop's room, and asked the archbishop why he regarded himself as a heretic. After all, before this, Archaon could be regarded as a character. An imperial knight with excellent academics, he was also very devout in his faith and had never committed any blasphemous behavior. Therefore, Archaon couldn't figure out why the Church of Sigmar believed that he was the eternal God chosen to destroy the world.
However, the Archbishop's answer left Archaon even more speechless. The Archbishop said that they were actually not sure whether Archaon was the Eternal Chosen One, so to be on the safe side, they searched for people across the country who matched those described in the prophecy, and even more Importantly, it is written in the prophecy that the true Eternal Chosen One will come to the Cathedral and then ask the Archbishop the question Archaon asked.
It can be seen that this is another self-fulfilling prophecy. Of course, similar things are often seen in RPG games. The Demon King learned that there was a brave man in the prophecy who could destroy him, so he sent people to search and kill the brave man. However, the brave man happened to survive and embarked on an adventure for revenge. Lu, became the enemy of the Demon King, and finally became stronger and killed the Demon King.........
Therefore, if the Demon King does not listen to the prophecy and does not send troops to search and kill the Hero, then the Hero will not take revenge on the Demon King and will not kill the Demon King for this reason.
Same reason, same ending.
It’s just that the Demon King in this story is replaced by the Empire, and the Hero becomes Archaon.
The subsequent development was just like those RPG games. Archaon escaped the pursuit of the empire and then embarked on the road of adventure. Like a brave man, he collected six magic tools of the God of Chaos and became the prophecy. The lieutenant general will be the eternal god chosen to destroy the world, and then he will start sharpening his sword to destroy the devil - oh, no, destroy the world.
But Archaon did not surrender because of this. The reason why he chose to accept the test of the Chaos Gods and become the Eternal Chosen God was to completely destroy the world. In this way, the Chaos Gods would lose their power. Let everything end.
If Duanmuhuai learns of Archaon's thoughts, he will definitely laugh at the opponent's stupidity. Perhaps Archaon naively believes that as long as the planet is destroyed, the Chaos Evil God can fail or even be destroyed together. But in fact, this is just a playground for the Chaos Evil Gods.
And it's still one of them.
There are thousands of similar planets in the galaxy. Even if Archaon finally destroys this planet with all his efforts, to the Chaos Gods, they are just moving to another place to continue their fun.
But it is obvious that Archaon does not know this, so he does not know that no matter what firm beliefs and ideals he holds, in the final analysis, what he does will only bring happiness to the Chaos Gods. pleasure.
That's all.
Small, ignorant, and impulsive souls are the best toys for the evil god to play with.
Even if Archaon really destroys the world, the Chaos Gods will not perish. On the contrary, they may show Archaon the vastness of the entire universe and let the poor man know everything he cares about in this huge world. It is just a drop in the ocean, and everything he does is just like an ant shaking a tree. It has no meaning or value except to gain some happiness.
At that time, whether this stupid idiot will collapse out of despair, or whether he will make up his mind to spend his life destroying everything - that is another matter.
But it's a pity that Duanmu Huai will not let this ending happen.
"Prepare your horses!" Archaon strode out of the tent and gave the order.
This time, he will take matters into his own hands to destroy the enemy standing in front of him! !
At the darkest moment before dawn, the Chaos army set off again. At the same time, the coalition forces who received the signal also acted quickly and organized their formation again.
Duanmuhuai was holding a war hammer and riding a metal secret dragon standing at the front - Tigris's body had been burned to ashes by him with black flames, and only his head was left to Ulric. The White Wolf God was extremely angry at Teclis' behavior and said that when things here are over, he will talk to Asuryan and Lilith about this issue. If they cannot give him an acceptable answer, he will not be able to protect himself. If you go by yourself, you will bite the necks of these elven bastards.
But now, the most important thing is to repel the Chaos Legion's offensive.
Soon, the army of chaos slowly appeared in the darkness.
Duanmu Huai is taking the lead here, and naturally Archaon is on the opposite side. After yesterday's battle, both the Order and Chaos sides already knew that the outcome of the two would determine the final direction of today's battle.
If Duanmuhuai destroys Archaon, it means that the destruction of the world is just a dream, and everyone is scattered and left to stay.
If Archaon kills Duanmu Huai, it means that the Eternal Chosen will truly destroy the last hope of the world.
Like the Vanguard Army, the Chaos Army is also headed by four divinely chosen champion lords who are directly affiliated with the God of Chaos.
Among them is the tyrannical lord [Invincible] Abar who is huge and rides a flesh hound.
Deshara, the six-armed snake demon [Betrayer], is the envoy of desire transformed from a high elf.
Wearing heavy armor and holding a meteor hammer, the Son of the Plague, the Soul Reaper [The Ripper] Vanir.
And the warlock [Dragon Controller] Igrim, who was once a mage of light in the empire but now fell into treachery, controls a two-headed dragon.
Standing at the forefront of the Chaos army was naturally wearing the battle-scarred armor of Mokai, the first Eternal God Chosen, holding the regicide sword with the demon Uzuha sealed in it, riding a pitch-black Apocalypse war horse, wearing Holding the Crown of Dominance that can rule all chaotic creatures and the Eye of Sherron that can predict the future, Archaon, the eternal god of choice who has the ultimate blessing of the four gods of chaos, is burning on his forehead.
In the eyes of others, this terrifying being who rides a black horse, wears black armor, and holds a flaming sword, indeed possesses a sense of tyrannical oppression that is enough to crush and destroy everyone.
For an ordinary person, it would be a luxury to have the courage to stand in front of him.
However, his opponent is also not an ordinary person.
Duanmuhuai sat high on the back of the metal secret dragon. He held a thunder warhammer in his hand. The eye sockets of the dark skull helmet exuded scarlet brilliance. On his chest, the double-headed eagle symbol spreading its wings and ready to fly shone brightly. On the shoulder armor and waist, the huge golden skull exudes an unknown brilliance. It seems that the next moment, he will turn this world into ruins...
Damn it...who is the Eternal Chosen One?
It has to be said that the moment he saw Duanmu Huai, Archaon was even a little stunned. He even doubted whether the other party was here to compete with him for the position of the Eternal God's Chosen. After all, it didn't matter how he looked in this outfit. Like a good person?
And why is your skull bigger than mine? !
This thought flashed through Archaon's mind, and then he suddenly swung his sword, looked at the imperial army in front of him, and roared loudly.
"Fear me, mortals, for I am the Anointed One, the Chosen One of Chaos, the One who scourges the world. Behind me are the armies of the gods and heavens. At my will, with my sword, you who are weak The small country will be destroyed! ”
Archaon's roar echoed throughout the battlefield, and the warriors who heard his roar couldn't help but feel a sense of fear and commotion.
However, at this moment, another voice sounded.
"A pointless struggle, Archaon."
Duanmuhuai sat on the metal secret dragon and stared at Archaon coldly.
"You call this strength? In you, I only see corruption and slavery - what makes you degenerate and shamelessly surrender to those monsters? Arrogance... What arrogance, you are so complacent with your own power. , thinking that we are vulnerable to the gods you serve, but...that is not the case. You simply do not understand how powerful the will and anger of the Tribunal are, and how fragile and insignificant your anger and cowardice are."
Duanmu Huai's voice was not loud, but I don't know why his words made the demons tremble, as if he was simply telling a fact, a fact that all things were about to be destroyed.
Then, Duanmu Huai raised his war hammer.
"Fight! Then destroy! And repeat, and repeat! Until no living thing alive dares oppose us! Everything else is an illusion!"
Duanmu Huai's roar turned into thunder and echoed in the sky. Even the unscrupulous demons trembled and their eyes widened in fear. The coalition's morale was greatly boosted. They raised their weapons and roared in anger.
"Go to hell!!"
The next moment, Duanmu Huai jumped down from the metal secret dragon, holding a war hammer and blasting towards Archaon.
"In the name of the Tribunal, I will completely destroy your despicable body and filthy soul!"
