"Everyone... I'm so sorry, everyone. I'm the one who has wronged you, leading you down this path of no return..."
Angron's mind was racing with thoughts.
His warp nature allowed him to sense the complex emotions and anguish within most of the World Eater legions opposite him.
The fact that his own descendants had turned to Chaos was also related to him; it was all his doing.
If it weren't for him, the Devourer Legion would still be that loyal legion.
They will not suffer the torment of the butcher's nail.
Anglong's voice was hoarse and heavy, filled with endless regret and self-blame.
He looked at his offspring, who still wore the Butcher's Nails and were clad in blood-stained armor. Their eyes held a mixture of bewilderment, pain, a sliver of remaining loyalty, and a deeper, more chaotic corruption.
They fell because of him, and suffered torment and curses for ten thousand years because of him.
“It was I… who led you into this abyss.” Angron’s voice trembled. “The nail… the curse… I should have borne the burden alone. Instead, I made you… suffer with me.”
"I'm sorry, it's my fault for not resisting the warp demons' corruption, causing you to suffer along with me."
He slowly raised his hand, as if wanting to touch the scarred and spiked helmet of the nearest World Eater veteran, but then let it fall limply to his sides.
He has no right to ask for forgiveness.
“The original…” The old soldier’s voice was like sandpaper rubbing, coming through the voice changer, carrying an indescribable complex emotion.
They followed Angron both out of instinctive loyalty to the Father of Genetics and because the rage brought on by the Butcher's Nail bound them together.
Now, seeing that the Primarchs seem to have shaken off that madness and regained a sliver of clarity, their hearts are plunged into immense turmoil.
Zhou Qing watched quietly from the side without interfering.
Although he considered the World Eater Legion's combat strength to be so-so, and that he himself could wipe out the entire Space Marine Legion by himself, there was no need for that.
Having been in this world and universe for some time, Zhou Qing now clearly understands the relationship between these offspring and the original body.
The World Eaters' fall was not a choice they made themselves from the beginning, but rather a choice they passively followed their Primarchs in making.
These world-devourers have committed heinous crimes, and they are destined to die.
But before that, Zhou Qing was willing to give them a chance, a chance to atone for their sins before they died.
Chapter 162 The Battle of Nairrus Ends
Zhou Qing gave them a chance, and the Devourers chose to seize it.
Apart from those Space Marines who had already firmly sided with Chaos, after Angron spoke, a large number of Chaos Devourers began to defect, turning their weapons against the enemies around them.
The Chaos Lords of these 10 war guilds suffered the most attacks.
Others might rebel and return to humanity's side, but these Chaos Lords would never.
Therefore, with a clear objective, these people began to fight back.
The World Eaters stood in a huddle, and their sudden chaos naturally attracted the attention of the other Chaos Warbands.
Immediately afterwards, the Chaos Legion, who had been fighting side by side, turned into a chaotic melee.
The enemy's confusion was something that had to be seized upon, and the Space Marines stationed at Narrus launched a counterattack simultaneously, crossing over the World Eaters to support them in their battle.
Those who devour the world will undoubtedly die, their sins grave, but they will not fight alone.
His own offspring were fighting valiantly, and Anglong turned to look at Zhou Qing with a pleading gaze.
He wanted to go too...
Zhou Qing couldn't stand that kind of look. He gently raised his right hand, and a stream of spiritual energy entered Anglong's body. Immediately afterward, Anglong felt his body filled with power.
"Go, destroy them, and this will be your first world!"
"Take up your weapons and fight for humanity!"
"For humanity! For atonement!" Angron's voice, like thunder, resounded throughout the chaotic battlefield.
He stopped looking at Zhou Qing and instead focused all his attention on the area where the Devourers were killing each other and fighting with other Chaos War Gangs.
The next moment, he moved.
Like a cannonball, Angron charged out at a speed far exceeding his usual pace, crashing directly into the most densely packed area of the battle.
Without the slightest hesitation, he unleashed the massive Chaos Artifact Chainsaw Axe, imbued with purified and ferocious power, sweeping it out!
The first Khorne Berserker to be hit was instantly cleaved in two along with his power armor, splattering blood and bits of flesh everywhere!
"Traitor! Feel the wrath of the Father!" A Nurgle champion swung his Plague Flail at him.
Angron didn't even parry; he simply sidestepped the vicious weapon and cleaved the opponent's helmet and head in two with a backhand axe. Green pus burst out, but it couldn't touch the faint psionic glow around him.
"For the Primarch!" shouted an excited World Eater veteran who had fought against other Chaos Astartes and was loyal to Angroth as he saw him charging toward him.
"For humanity!" Angron roared in response, his axe swiftly beheading an Imperial Son who attempted to ambush a veteran. "Eliminate all traitors! Leave no one alive!"
Angron's arrival was like throwing a block of ice into a boiling pot of oil, instantly changing the situation on the local battlefield.
Those World Eaters who chose atonement saw the Primarch fight alongside them and display unprecedented clarity and power, which greatly boosted their morale!
This is something that is rarely seen even during the Great Crusade; they have rarely seen a Primarch as wise as they are now, instead of the Primarch being nothing more than a beast as before.
"For the Primarch! For the Warmaster!" the World Eaters roared, their attacks becoming even more frenzied and organized.
They began to consciously coordinate with Angron's assault, dividing and surrounding the stubbornly resisting Chaos Lords.
Meanwhile, the Space Marines of the Narrus Chapter also seized the opportunity.
Chapter Master Deus Krieg's orders were swiftly transmitted through the chain of command:
"All units! Full attack! Support the Redeemers! Purify all the Chaos scum that refuses to surrender!"
The Imperial defensive line advanced instantly. Bullets from Gauss rifles, explosives, plasma, and laser beams rained down on the chaotic front line like a torrential downpour.
Rand Raiders and Rhino troop carriers crushed the rubble, smashing the resisting enemy to pieces.
Several Emperor-class Titans even strode forward with earth-shattering steps, bombarding the still-assembling Chaos army in the distance with their devastating weapons.
The battlefield turned into a one-sided massacre—a massacre of those die-hard Chaos elements.
In this attack, even the ordinary mortal support troops armed themselves with phase bayonets and began charging towards the Chaos forces.
Heretics and ordinary chaos demons are almost powerless against the attack of the Phase Bayonet.
Mortals possess mortal courage and mortal fighting prowess; they are willing to charge alongside Space Marines, all for the glorious destiny of humanity!
Angron was like a sharp knife on the path of redemption; wherever he went, Chaos Lords and loyalists were slaughtered.
His fighting style remained ferocious, but unlike before, his embrace now carried a purpose.
Angron is no longer an indiscriminate annihilation force.
He would even proactively create breaches for the Empire's attacking forces or rescue the PDF squad from encirclement.
Leon Al-Jonson stood beside Zhou Qing, watching the dramatic and intense scene unfold before him, and couldn't help but sigh, "He... really is different now."
Zhou Qing stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm: "He was just doing what he was supposed to do. Atonement is never a verbal promise, but is written with actions and blood."
In addition to the one-sided war on the ground, the Chaos Legion is also facing an unprecedented massacre in space.
Even the Black Legion's original main fleet had no chance of resistance against the patrol fleet group mobilized by Zhou Qing, let alone these branch fleets that were separated from the Black Legion.
Thick purgatory rays and tachyon spears attacked all the traitorous warships.
No warship from the traitorous side could withstand a single tachyon laser spear.
If we can withstand it, then it's a simultaneous attack by several tachyon light spears, or even the Titan's Hellfire Rays.
Battles on the ground might still be considered battles, but battles in space are anything but battles; they are nothing more than one-sided massacres.
The fleet battle between the two sides lasted less than an hour before the Chaos faction's warships were completely destroyed.
The chaotic warship was destroyed and subsequently fell into the planet's surface, captured by the planet's gravity.
Then, through atmospheric friction, they were directly transformed into meteors that were constantly being worn away and destroyed during their fall.
The few warship wrecks that were robust enough to completely ignore atmospheric friction were worn down by the energy torrents launched from the orbital defense system.
The sky was a beautiful sight, like a once-in-a-century meteor shower.
A few large meteors were also destroyed directly by the railgun; the moment they exploded in the sky, it was like a beautiful firework.
Even though it was daytime in Narrus, the sky was still incredibly beautiful.
Behind this magnificent appearance lies the betrayal of the Black Legion, with the Astartes suffering an unprecedented massacre.
Chapter 163 Angron, who has changed his body again
The Great Victory of the Nairrus Empire—
Military records indicate that the Empire eliminated over 100,000 Chaos Astartes in this operation.
The main force of the Black Legion has been completely wiped out.
The evil god rescued Abaddon and other high-ranking members of the Black Legion.
All other enemies were annihilated under the leadership of the Sun Lord Empire War Marshal.
This battle was the second major victory for the Empire under the leadership of the War General.
In this war, the Empire eliminated the Black Legion, which had plagued it for thousands of years, and the War General's glory will live on forever!
This message was quickly disseminated by the Empire's Ministry of Military Affairs, the Star Language Court, and the State Religion, spreading throughout the Empire's theoretical and, in reality, far more than a million worlds.
The message had a significant impact. After it spread throughout the Empire, the confidence of those empires still engaged in the Unyielding Expedition and yet to be reclaimed surged.
And the Imperial World, located in the shadows of the Empire, was further strengthened by this incident in its determination to resist.
The fact that the War General had led his army to the dark side of the Empire meant something obvious; they sensed that they were about to be rescued by the Imperial army.
Hundreds of Empire worlds were on the verge of falling, but after this news reached the Empire worlds, they reaffirmed their resistance.
Meanwhile, when this news reached the Chaos faction, it also caused many ordinary Chaos factions to collapse or flee in haste.
Nobody's a fool; they know perfectly well that once the Imperial army has annihilated the majority of the Black Legion's forces, they will almost certainly pursue them.
At that time, many of the Empire's dark side worlds will surely be redeemed by the Empire once again, especially the star sectors closest to Narrus.
