Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 897
Chapter 890: Resurrection of the Son of God (Part 1)
Gu Hang sometimes felt that his son had a reckless impulsiveness.
He didn’t know who he learned it from.
In Gu Hang’s opinion, he didn’t need to get involved in this matter.
He could just watch from the sidelines, observing their actions, at most not interfering and providing some convenience.
There was no need to follow them.
After all, this matter was extremely hateful.
If he was rescued, then without a doubt, he would be the great benefactor of the Infinite Legion; if he was not rescued, then they would instantly become enemies.
And it would be a blood feud!
It was not necessary.
Moreover, the greater probability was not that he could be rescued or not, but that he would be discovered in the process.
In this way, the hatred would be formed before the rescue even started.
After all, sneaking in without permission, doing something that was no different from assassinating their father to the Space Marines, even in the name of saving them, was unacceptable.
But a general may not obey military orders while on a mission, and a son may not necessarily obey his father. In short, Gu Jing chose to travel with the Eldar and the Great Sages.
Subsequent events unfolded much as Gu Hang had initially anticipated.
The Infinite Legion’s primary focus was, of course, combating the Chaos invasion. They engaged in brutal and arduous offensive and defensive engagements in orbit around the Super Sea Star, on space stations, and at key points on the planet’s surface .
Even so, they maintained unwavering vigilance and security at the Temple of the Heir of the Gods.
Even with the psychic assistance of Gu Jing, the Eldar God-envoy, and the princess, their attempt to sneak in was ultimately discovered.
Fortunately, they maintained minimal restraint.
Upon being discovered by the Infinite Warriors, the Eldar participating in the battle considered silencing them immediately and then forcing their way forward.
However, they were stopped by Gu Jing and the Great Sages.
The first wave of fire from the Infinite Warriors was intercepted by the Archsage; Gu Jing was responsible for holding off the Eldar. The Living Sage, meanwhile, earnestly persuaded the Space Marines to cease fire.
After making their stances clear, both sides temporarily ceased fire, with no casualties.
While tensions remained high, at least the fighting did not escalate.
Gu Jing and his group essentially surrendered. While they didn’t surrender their weapons, they largely complied with the Infinite Warriors’ demands, acting obediently and respectfully.
Soon, the enraged Infinite Chapter Captain Nero Claudius and Chief Librarian Theriault arrived,
even rushing in from the front lines. This would clearly have a significant impact on the battlefront, potentially resulting in many unnecessary casualties.
However, the Gene Father’s matter was undoubtedly more important.
Nero angrily rebuked Gu Jing, the Archsage, and his group,
his words etched with bitterness.
The general idea was, “I treated you well as guests, yet you actually tried to harm our father!
This is unforgivable!
You are all traitors, bewitched by the aliens. Expect your trial!”
Nero even considered executing the Eldar aliens on the spot.
Fortunately, he was stopped by the Archsage and a group of others.
Of course, Theriault played a more crucial role.
This veteran, also a member of the Infinite Chapter, had served for centuries and was arguably the most prestigious of the Chapter.
But even this couldn’t change the Chapter Master’s mind.
He even apprehended the Black Crusaders and Inquisitors who hadn’t participated in the operation, intending to place them under custody.
Their weapons were also confiscated and piled together.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.
Several sturdy Daemon Landing Pods smashed through the ceiling. In an instant, hundreds of Chaos Space Marines suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
The battle immediately began.
Logically, the Humans had a significant numerical advantage.
In terms of high-end combat power, they possessed not only a number of experts who had survived the Webway’s loss, but also two of the Infinite Warriors, considered among the most elite of Humanity’s forces.
However, the imprisoned ‘guests’ were not allowed to participate in the battle.
They could only watch from the sidelines.
However, at first, they weren’t particularly worried.
Some even exchanged glances.
The enemies that had descended now seemed menacing, ready to descend from the sky and utterly annihilate the Son of God. But in reality, they numbered only a hundred or so Chaos Space Marines, and the Infinite Marines were more than capable of annihilating them.
It was even possible that their covert actions had caused a lapse in the Infinite Marines’ defenses, allowing these traitors in.
But judging by the situation, these formidable Chaos enemies had dared to descend directly upon the Temple of the Heir of God—truly courting death.
Chapter Master Nero, brimming with rage, had a perfect opportunity to vent his frustration
on them. He led his personal guards and slaughtered the Chaos Space Marines.
The slaughter was efficient, especially since no more enemies descended from the sky, indicating that the Infinite Marines’ orbital defenses remained stable and the worst hadn’t occurred.
Despite his rage, Nero maintained a certain composure.
He targeted the sorcerers among the enemies first.
Just as there were think tanks among human chapters, there were warband sorcerers among the Chaos traitors.
Furthermore, because Chaos Sorcerers have truly and completely embraced the Warp, unlike human psykers who must balance control and resistance with psychic powers, they pose a far greater threat than ordinary psychic enemies. While the difference
in strength might be minimal, Chaos Sorcerers often possess more terrifying, treacherous, and chilling spells, making them virtually impossible to defend against.
Eliminating them first is undoubtedly the best strategy.
However, Nero encountered difficulties while eliminating the sorcerers among these Chaos enemies.
These sorcerers were capable of self-destruction.
He was quick to dodge, and some other warriors, with the help of Theriault, avoided fatal damage. However, one of his personal guards, his battle-brother, was still caught in the Chaos Sorcerer’s explosion.
Even more terrifying, after the explosion, the rampant evil of the Warp not only did not weaken, but instead grew stronger and expanded.
One after another, Warp rifts appeared where the Chaos wizards had self-destructed, and countless demons poured out.
The scene suddenly became chaotic.
