Section 100 heads-up
"You ......," the Immortal Lord let out a soft cry of disbelief. It was none other than Ashrufat, his enemy, who appeared before him. He really shouldn't have underestimated this enemy before, it was perhaps the most dangerous enemy he had encountered in hundreds of years.
"It's fast. Ashrufat looked light-hearted. "But I'll admit that the rain really scared the hell out of me...... Could it be that the gods would really interfere in the wars of mortals? No...... Since it happened, it makes sense. But to do so, Nurgle will definitely have to pay an additional price. He was talking to himself as if no one was around, but his longsword was in his hand.
"It seems that you are really important. Eshuruphat turned his head, and through the T-shaped opening of his helmet, the gazes of the two Chaos Lords intertwined with each other, as if two sharp blades were clashing against each other.
"The loving father Nurgle accepted one of his children. "The Immortal Lord has fixed his mind. When Ashrufat was wasting time talking to himself there, he wasn't free. He had carefully observed his surroundings. It seems that Ashrufat is the only one who has caught up. Although the Immortal Juggernaut didn't know why the other party was able to catch up.
"But he must have violated the laws of chaos by doing so. Ashrufat said.
"Hehe......" The Immortal Lord suddenly laughed. "Boy, don't try to stall. I'm familiar with this place, you're only one person now, and it's going to be a long time before your men find it. ”
"My subordinates may need time, but yours will never come. Ashrufat replied in a nonchalant tone. "I know that after you broke through, you immediately scattered your men and fled in order to mislead your pursuers. ”
"So what? It's over before your men find it. The Immortal Lord said coldly. One-on-one, one Chaos Lord against another, on paper, the outcome is five-five. But in reality, he already knew that this Eshurufat was a young, newly promoted Chaos Lord (it was not unusual for him to be so cunning and bold that he was promoted to Chaos Lord by Tzeentch), and he had been in this position for hundreds of years.
After countless individual combat and group battles, the Immortal Juggernaut's fighting skills have been honed to an unprecedented peak. And because of the generosity of his father Nurgle, he will always remain at the peak of his body. In this one-on-one fight, he has reason to think he won't lose.
"Perha......ps," Ashruphat laughed, "but I have to tell you one last time, surrender, and swear allegiance to me." It's the best for you and for me. I have no particular hatred for you, and I don't want to spend a lot of time slowly conquering all the tribes in this swamp after you die. ”
"Delusional!" the Immortal Juggernaut laughed angrily. "The power of my loving father Nurgle is with me! As you have just seen, with his help, I cannot lose to you. ”
"That's why I'm catching up. Ashrufat sighed. "If we don't decide now, we risk wasting hundreds of years of time here. ”
There was such a clear hint in this sentence that the Immortal Lord immediately realized that the enemy in front of him was not an ordinary person. And there's nothing surprising about it - Tzeentch is the same god as Nurgle, and since Nurgle can bestow on humans the god of immortality, Tzeentch can do the same.
"You may have received Tzeentch's gift, but think about it, did he save you in a moment of crisis? Our loving father is a god who listens to his calls, and he will not remain indifferent to the suffering of his children! ”
"That rain?" Ashrufat sighed again. "Come on, I've heard that you've been a Chaos Lord and immortal for hundreds of years. So you should understand that there is no difference between all of us. He gestured to his armor. "Everyone is a pawn, you and I are no exception. ”
"Tzeentch lies have always been so powerless. ”
"Have you never considered the nature of things? The gods may not be omnipotent...... At least they can see everything they want to see. Why, then, do they need us mortal believers? Or rather, do they need us, the Chaos Lords, to lead armies in battle for them? Even if the gods don't want to fight in person, they can command the believers themselves. Think about it, how far can they go? No matter what, they are much more powerful than us mortal generals, right?"
"What do you want to say?"
"We are all pawns. Ashrufat chuckled, his eyes half self-deprecating and half mad. "There will be no exceptions. The Chaos Gods are so powerful that if they do their best to resolve their disputes, they may destroy the world directly. So, they can't be in direct conflict. So, they need to formulate the law of chaos - which is contradictory and flawed, but at least prevents them from going to war directly and then destroying it with their incredible power. The laws of chaos turn the gods into chess players, and yes, we are their pawns. They use guò chess games to resolve disputes...... Use the outcome of the chess game to decide a qiē. That's why people like you and me are chosen. ”
"Nonsense! Tzeentch's lie. "The Immortal Juggernaut is already quite furious. He never thought that anyone would use such a blasphemy against his father, loving Nurgle. Moreover, Ashrufath's reason for saying this may have been simply to stall for time - this kind of deception is what Tzeentch loves most.
Wielding his flails, he rushed towards his enemies. His weapons had an advantage in length, so the Immortal Juggernaut first picked up the flail and smashed it into his enemies in a massive slam.
In the next moment, he saw the extraordinary thing about his opponent. Ashrufat squatted down at a supernatural speed, dodging the blow, and then, before he could retract his move, the sword stabbed at his body. It's not an ordinary casual blow, but a stab full of skill and power. The tip of the sword is located just where the thigh and knee meet, which is a weak spot for any piece of armor. It was just as Ashrufat had expected, and although it wasn't deep, when he drew his sword and came back, a stream of green viscous liquid erupted from under his armor.
The Immortal Lord didn't say a word, and the flail fell with his hand. But Ashrufat withdrew his sword, not daring to resist. The flail's arc of steel in the air swept through a storm of death that could crush rocks, forcing Ashrufat backwards.
What's going on, this feel...... Ashrufat was so surprised that he even forgot that he should counterattack. To this day, he didn't know how many battles he had experienced, and countless battles had made him instinctively accustomed to the feeling of the blade piercing through the armor and penetrating the flesh. But the blow just now......
There seemed to be no flesh at all under the armor of the Immortal Juggernaut, only a cloud of mud. What's going on?
Ashrufat retreated, and finally leaned against the big tree beside him, avoiding the crazy onslaught of the Immortal Lord. Then he noticed that the Immortal Juggernaut's wound was no longer flowing with that fluid—even the breach in his armor seemed to be much smaller.
All of a sudden, he realized the truth of the matter.
Soon after Ashrufat entered the Chaos Tribe, he heard the legend that armor, weapons, and flesh would sometimes fuse (along with irreversible mental pathologies) for those who had pledged allegiance to the Chaos gods. For the cult of chaos, this is a clear symbol of the grace he has chosen from God. But for Ashrufat, it was the first time he had seen such a thing.
To be honest, he was still shocked because it bordered on madness. This means that this believer has abandoned his human identity - even the body is gone, and the soul is imprisoned in a suit of armor, can this still be called human?
Don't...... Is it because of this that the Immortal Lord is able to live forever?
"Your Excellency!" shouted from the side. The two Chaos Lords looked at the source of the sound at the same time. Unexpectedly, it wasn't one of Ashrufat's subordinates who came, but one of the Immortal Lord's guards. The guard looked scarred and looked like he had suffered some injuries from the breakout. But he's going to have to go around in circles, and it's going to take at least five or six minutes.
"Suffer death!" the Immortal Lord roared. Swinging the flail and slamming it into Ashrufat's head, this time Ashrufat avoided the flail's hammer and swung his long sword, slashing at the flail's chains.
The chains of the sword and flail collided head-on, and the blades of the swords tangled with the thick rusty chains, making a piercing metallic sound. Two people wrestle with each other and don't give in to each other. Ashrufat could see the other party's body twisting and exerting force. For a moment, Ashruphat felt that his idea was a little ridiculous—the fusion of armor and human body sounded unreliable in itself, something entirely legendary. In the long war between Gruni and the forces of Chaos, such an example has never been seen. Maybe it's just a rumor.
The Immortal Juggernaut gradually gained the upper hand in this wrestling. In this kind of wrestling, the heavier side always has an advantage, and he begins to gradually pull Ashrufat to his side.
"Jakes, one last chance. Ashrufat said in a deep voice. "You and I are just pawns, so we don't need to work so hard. ”
The Immortal Lord didn't say a word, only his arm continued to exert force. The angle of his force had changed, and he began to try to break Eshufat's sword with the chains.
"Sure enough...... Isn't that the type that can be reasonable?Or is your body and mind already falling?" Ashrufat raised his foot and took advantage of the opponent's full strength to kick the opponent's knee violently. The kick was strong enough to hit a vulnerable position, enough to snap a human joint.
The knee joint of the Immortal Juggernaut, or the knee part of the armor, was visibly deformed, but it was only a brief moment before it was immediately restored to its original state. It didn't look like human flesh at all, but like a mass of clay that could be shaped. The blow didn't even throw the Immortal Juggernaut off balance.
Unmoved, the Immortal Lord continued to drag Ashruphat closer to him. His gaze remained fixed on where the sword and chain intertwined, and the force on his arm kept increasing. This sword is obviously a magic sword, but even if it is a magic sword, the tenacity of this thing is too exaggerated. Because under the strength of the two Chaos Lords, the long sword was actually only slightly deformed, and there was no sign of breaking it. Ordinary magic weapons can't do that.
"What a good sword...... Is this a God-given weapon?" the Immortal Lord couldn't help but ask in the tone of a victor, realizing that victory was in his hands.
