Chapter 120: Khorne is Overjoyed
Skarbrand's attack enraged DOOM, which made Lucan feel DOOM's killing intent shift away from himself. This instantly made Lucan breathe a sigh of relief.
Skarbrand's blow, which seemed capable of splitting mountains, caused no damage to DOOM before him. Even landing a hit on DOOM's body became an impossible luxury. It was known that a full-strength strike from Skarbrand could at least cut a small opening in Khorne's own armor.
And DOOM's every attack caused unprecedented damage to Skarbrand's physical form.
His body was collapsing.
Various weapons were continuously switched. Both ballistic and energy weapons could easily break through Skarbrand's defenses.
Even Skarbrand's mindless consciousness knew that the strength of the person before him was far beyond what he could compare to. But he dared not retreat. If he fled again, Khorne might truly be completely disappointed in him and make his existence unnecessary.
Watching Doom rush towards Skarbrand, Lucan hurriedly went to the Night Sentinels who had been sent flying.
The five of them had varying injuries, but all were very serious. If not for their bodies being enhanced by the Divinity Machine, they might have already died.
Lucan hurriedly warped in several Medics to treat them, and to treat himself as well.
Damon looked at Lucan, his face full of guilt. Failing to protect Lucan was the most unforgivable thing for him.
"My Lord… we were useless. We failed to protect you."
"Don't think about it. Sometimes, you have to consider who the opponent is. Look, see that person? Although I don't expect you to grow to that level, that is your goal, your upper limit!"
Lucan pointed at DOOM in the distance.
And the eyes of all the Night Sentinels were filled with longing.
And Lucan couldn't be bothered with anything else, quickly calling over soldiers to pull the few of them out of the center of the battlefield, lest they attract DOOM's hatred.
And the remaining mortal soldiers also felt incredible at DOOM's arrival. Those powerful daemons were like helpless toddlers before this nameless warrior.
And Harald, Howles, and the other Astartes felt a sense of fear at this power.
At this moment, DOOM's state even reminded them of the so-called Red Thirst and Black Rage that existed within the Blood Angels Chapter and its successors. No! The Red Thirst and Black Rage were like child's play before him, completely not worth mentioning.
Although they had only heard of it and never seen it, it was very similar to the descriptions in the legends. Warriors who succumbed to the Red Thirst and Black Rage would transform into beings who had lost their reason and only knew how to fight.
And DOOM didn't look like he had any reason left at all.
And seeing that the Praetor Suit on DOOM was the same as on the Night Sentinels, it also let them know that this warrior was definitely connected to Lucan.
Skarbrand had been exiled more than once. Over countless years, he had continuously appeared in the material universe. Although he was banished each time, the Imperium had always paid a heavy price. Those who could match him were all among the most powerful people in the Imperium.
But now? The powerful Greater Daemon of Khorne was completely helpless in DOOM's hands.
Heralds of Khorne charged towards DOOM. These powerful daemons, before they could even attack, had their horns ripped off by DOOM, who then used the horns as weapons to stab into their heads.
At this moment, DOOM was simply more demonic than the daemons.
The slain Heralds of Khorne did not return to Khorne's daemonic realm but were completely transformed into DOOM's strength.
The five-minute duration was still a bit too short. Seeing that the duration was about to end, Lucan hurriedly spent money to renew the subscription!
The Psy-crystals were once again converted into time for DOOM to exist in this world.
And all the surrounding Khornate daemons no longer paid attention to the other humans on the battlefield. The tide-like daemon legion charged towards DOOM together. But facing the massive number of daemons, DOOM also took out another of his weapons, the BFG. This weapon fired a ball of light that could detonate the demonic energy within the bodies of living things along its path. And in this world, it had become capable of detonating psychic energy.
The bodies of one Bloodletter after another seemed to boil, and then they were blown into nothingness by the energy detonating from within their bodies.
The battlefield instantly fell silent. The death of a large number of Bloodletters also gave Lucan's troops a chance to breathe.
And after dealing with the small fry, DOOM looked again towards Skarbrand, whom he had smashed into the nearby ruins.
At this time, Skarbrand had completely lost his ability to move. His wings had been torn off, and his broken horns were nowhere to be found.
Lucan was surprised Skarbrand wasn't dead yet; those daemons that had swarmed him had let him live a little longer.
DOOM took out his weapon called the Crucible Blade. The blood-red, translucent energy blade was also engraved with unknown runes. DOOM, it seemed, had chosen this weapon to finish Skarbrand.
He was also very satisfied with the daemons of this world. As long as there were daemons to kill, DOOM wasn't picky, whether they were lesser daemons, greater daemons, or daemon lords.
Just as DOOM grabbed Skarbrand by the neck and was about to finish him off completely, the will of Khorne itself descended directly upon DOOM.
The portal that was transporting the Khornate legions directly expanded several times over.
Skarbrand and a host of nearby daemons instantly lost the Warp energy that maintained their physical forms and vanished from this planet.
Seeing his prey disappear, DOOM's anger rose to another level.
And all the surrounding Warp energy was also converted into a massive amount of Khornate divine power that poured directly into DOOM's body. What was originally just a struggle for a world by some heretics, the moment DOOM appeared, Khorne's true self had begun to pay attention here.
Khorne's actions caused an indescribable blood-red hue to permeate DOOM's body. Khorne was trying to use his power to directly let DOOM be consumed by killing intent, and then use the corruption of the Warp to complete his transformation from human to daemon.
"Khorne is really going all in. Is he trying to forcibly ascend DOOM to daemonhood?!"
Watching this scene, Lucan also realized Khorne's idea. A warrior like DOOM, wasn't he exactly what Khorne liked most?
But Lucan couldn't help but sigh. Old Khorne, aren't you being a bit too arrogant this time? Even the soul of a Primarch could be sacrificed to a Chaos God for a forced ascension to daemonhood, like Angron. But DOOM?
He might not have the ability of the Warp gods to change the world, space, and time, but similarly, these powers of yours have no effect on DOOM. He had put all his skill points into the enhancement of individual combat power.
All the power-ups Khorne forcibly infused into him all became strength for DOOM to continue to grow stronger. And for DOOM, the existence of Khorne made him find another interesting target.
On the other side of the Warp portal connecting to Khorne's domain, countless daemon legions, at Khorne's call, gathered around the Brass Throne.
They shrieked and howled, preparing to tear apart this DOOM SLAYER who had offended Khorne.
But such a number of daemons only made DOOM more eager to fight.
Watching DOOM charge towards the Warp portal, Lucan looked at DOOM's remaining duration. Lucan once again renewed the subscription for DOOM, this time directly spending a huge sum of 900,000 of Lucan's Psy-crystals.
"There are still eight minutes. This time is definitely not enough to kill Khorne, but the other daemons in Khorne's domain are probably going to have a bad time. If he kills a few more Bloodthirsters, even Khorne will feel the pain for a while, right?"
DOOM silently reloaded his shotgun again, then, under the gaze of everyone, he walked through that Warp portal into Khorne's daemonic realm.
And as if afraid DOOM would escape, Khorne directly and actively closed the Warp portal.
Watching DOOM and the Warp gate disappear together, the heart that had been in Lucan's throat also settled down.
Not only was the Greater Daemon a threat, but DOOM was also a threat to him. He was afraid that after DOOM had killed all the surrounding daemons, he would turn around and kill him.
It seemed that even with money, he couldn't just summon DOOM casually. This thing was a double-edged sword; if not handled well, it could burn him. Lucan wouldn't dare guarantee he could survive a few minutes against DOOM.
