"Let's get on the boat."

Elaine was a little helpless.

Judging from the parameters on the Bird Diviner, the only stable route to the net at the moment is the spatial rift that Karn and the others passed through when they came.

Due to the invasion of subspace energy, the entire Comoros has been completely paralyzed, and the once unobstructed shipping routes are now impassable, and the only place with the possibility of escaping the network is now blocked by the living demon world.

As she expected, a Slaanesh Demon was waiting to challenge her on that planet, just like when she was in Colchis, and the planet in front of her was undoubtedly a test given to her by the evil gods.

Needless to say, in the face of Elaine's order, the Astartes maneuvered the battle barge with understanding, and slowly landed on the planet that emitted a deep purple fog.

To Elaine's surprise, they were not attacked either as they burst into the atmosphere or when they landed on the ground, as if the extremely dangerous demon world was welcoming them.

But, even so, no one dares to take it lightly. Whether it's respect for the evil forces of subspace, or vigilance against strange planets.

You know, in this day and age. The real universe does not yet have such a terrifying concept called "Demon World", and it is crazy for any human who believes in the truth of the Empire to have such a thing as an entire living planet, not to mention the demon army that inhabits it, and the great demons who belong to the evil gods.

Even in the distant 40th millennium, such terrible things are still not to be underestimated.

So, the Primordial Guardians took great care to escort Elaine to the land of this planet - since they had suffered a great loss from the evil god Hormonism, they really didn't dare to let her mother out of their sight again.

……

Buzz——!

The wall of flesh and blood that exuded an eerie aura was instantly shattered by the power fist that shimmered with a splitting stance, turning into a splatter of filthy flesh in the sky, and at the same time, several cautious Astartes stepped out of the inside, looking around nervously and vigilantly.

“… It's disgusting, I've seen thousands of creepy worlds, but I've never seen a planet made entirely of flesh and blood. ”

One Astarte complained, his right arm covered in blood with the Power Punch.

Obviously, he is responsible for "opening the way" along the way.

"This is the [Demon World], a planet distorted by the evil forces of subspace. No matter what the unthinkable phenomenon is, it happens... We were lucky that we didn't encounter any danger. ”

Karn said coldly.

However, the Astarte was still indignant:

"You kid, you talk so easily! If you have the ability, you can "open the way"! I feel like my power punch is getting polluted by these things..."

"If I'm not mistaken, our power generation is enough to sustain high-intensity activities without maintenance for more than 300 years... Although the use of high-energy weapons such as power punches will increase the load on the reactor, in general, the impact will be minimal. ”

"Damn! Karn, when did you go to Mars for further study, this kind of nonsense doesn't look like you'd say it..."

"I learned it when I was in charge of the resource dispatch on Redjack's side, after all, someone has to be in charge of logistics when my mother is away."

"Okay... Look back at how I taught you a lesson in the duel pit! ”

"Absolutely glad."

……

Several people walked through the forest of flesh and blood that diffused with a deep purple mist, although the atmosphere was still tense, but as the two of them teased each other one after another, the tension in the hearts of the rest of the original body guards was also relieved a lot, and a trace of humor began to diffuse.

Even Elaine couldn't help but smile.

Originally, landing on an unknown demon world should have been a tense atmosphere, but for an army like the Children of the Mountains who have experienced strong winds and waves... It's really an outing.

Compared to the Primordial Guards, who were always cautious, Elaine was less worried about the danger.

Hey, isn't it subspace?

I've been there, and I've wrestled with the Great Devil of Torture, and the Great Demon of Tzeentch has played chess with me.

Of course, it's not so witty, but Elaine's vigilance against subspace is really not too great...

[Pride from contempt, familiarity from experience...]

[Oops, oops... What a beautiful thing to crush. 】

Suddenly, a flirtatious whisper suddenly appeared in Elaine's ears, and a thick and hot magnetic murmur like honey pierced the cochlea, and this hot and ambiguous warm air stream tugged at the heartstrings like a cat's claw.

Well...!?

Elaine instantly scanned the surroundings with particular caution.

But there was nothing around him except his children, as if Fang Cai's whispers were just groundless auditory hallucinations.

Even her heirs felt her movements, and they all looked up to the Lord of the Red Sand in confusion.

"What's the matter, Mother?"

"Do you sense the danger?"

"No, since you've been on this planet... We didn't have any enemies, although Mother said that we would face a great demon next... But so far there is not even a shadow to be seen. ”

Unlike the Astartes' relaxation, Elaine still frowned.

Her own heirs don't have the same psionic talent as her, and it's only natural that they didn't notice what was going on—

Whether it was from the strange feeling just now, or the voice, everything that happened just now was anything but false.

Needless to say, it was most likely the psionic voice of the Great Demon of Slaanesh.

In the humorous and relaxed atmosphere, she noticed a trace of inexplicable [abnormality].

It was like the feeling of being unwittingly caught up in the conspiracy of the Lord of All Changes, and a gut feeling that something was wrong filled her brain.

Since landing, the Slaanesh Demon on this planet has never taken the initiative to attack them, but he did send a message when he let his guard down slightly...

Elaine felt a little headache.

She just wanted to go back to Nukeria, to the Great Expedition, why did these evil gods always use inexplicable means to thwart her again and again...

Whether it's Colchis's mechanical tower that connects the real universe, or the demonic world that has now fallen into the Comoros...

“… Wrong. ”

"Something is very wrong."

Elaine narrowed her eyes slightly, focusing her gaze on the flesh palace not far away.

She vaguely felt some kind of "invitation".
