Chapter 198 Let the Galaxy Burn!
Deep in the warp, in a corner that cannot be explored by any psychic power or technology, four big, dirty guys are plotting something.
Next to them, an ultimate big guy, who was emitting golden light and looked very understanding, was silently watching these four pieces of trash having fun here.
And in this corner, there are not only these five heroes, but also a few guys who are not so cool as to sit at the table and play chess, waiting nearby.
Time is meaningless here, and all living beings become chess pieces on the chessboard, to be played with by the chess player at will.
But now, the chess game has changed. The monster pieces have become bigger and bigger, becoming the must-fight item in the center of the board.
All the chess players' eyes were fixed on this slightly weird-looking chess piece. The wise and silly smile on his Q-version face seemed to be mocking every creature that saw him.
Just like being favored and feeling fearless, no matter whether Hogg is really an idiot or not, the five chess players like it anyway, that’s what they like!
The blue software Big Gugu had fun from it; the youngest lady had exciting pleasure from it; and the red scarf dog-headed man had a different and new experience.
Even the great god Nurgle, who had never changed, saw the spark of life in it, as if he had become tens of thousands of years younger. Even the spoon used to cook the thick soup was wielded more vigorously.
And not only them, but also several other players in the competition preparation group nearby showed their desire for this chess piece, highlighting that this was a good dog that everyone was scrambling to get.
It must be said that the emperor felt a little proud when he saw his rebellious son being so popular, but when he thought that while they were happy, he was always the one who was angry.
The corners of his mouth that had just risen drooped again, and he muttered silently: "I hope you don't do anything big for me. I still want to live a few more years."
Perhaps there is always some inexplicable connection between the old father and the rebellious son. According to the eternal truth in this world, when you hope nothing unexpected will happen, an accident is bound to happen.
Just when all eyes were fixed on the chessboard, the monster in the middle seemed to be wiped out and disappeared on the chessboard. Along with it, a red chess piece also disappeared.
This sudden change did not attract the attention of the chess players, who all thought that this interesting guy was up to something.
However, as their power penetrated into the void, several chess players panicked. No matter how they explored, they could not find the whereabouts of the two chess pieces.
At the first moment, the kobold who was addicted to the game picked up his greatsword and slashed at Tzeentch next to him with a roar.
"You despicable maggot, where did you hide my treasure? Hand it over now, or I will kill you."
Perhaps because of the public outrage, Tzeentch was successfully beaten up by the three big guys. It's no wonder that all the gods thought of him first, because this guy has done such a thing more than once or twice.
The furious Khorne's hair was puffed up. The rage of losing his SSR made him slash at the frantically dodging Tzeentch with sword after sword, and blood-red flames filled the entire space.
The other gods were even more eager to fight, and pushed this guy who was good at changing the chess game into a corner.
Seeing that he had incurred public anger, the blue software swallowed a mouthful of liquid which should be saliva, feeling that things were not going well.
Even though He did not take any action this time, He was very curious why Hogg disappeared and took the Red King, whom he had always been thinking about, with him.
But he still shouted: "This is all according to plan!"
"Ah~ Don't hit my mouth! You despicable kobold, let me go now."
The ultimate power of chaos erupted in the subspace, and light of different colors and attributes swept through this hidden corner.
Any race that entered the warp at this moment saw a violent storm rising in the highest sky. Countless ships were instantly swept away by the tide and lost in this dangerous sea of souls.
Soon after, all the demons under the command of the Four Gods received the same order:
"Find Hogg!"
For a moment, the entire warp was in chaos, with countless demons running around, searching for the Primarch named Hogg.
Unable to sense Hogg's presence, Shafulin immediately ordered the Burning Legion to begin a carpet search. Losing contact with the main body made her feel a strong sense of emptiness and fear.
On the other hand, on the Human Empire side, after seeing their father missing, the Black Watch surrounded Ahriman, the only participant at the scene.
The most suspicious guy was given a memory restoration spell, and Ahriman was beaten so hard that he confessed everything about someone's bathing before he became a Space Marine. "I am really innocent! Lord Hogg is not the only one missing, my father is gone too!"
"Snapped"
A fist hit his lower abdomen, and Ross, holding a cigarette, cursed:
"I don't care. Anyway, it was you who drew the magic circle when my father disappeared. You'd better tell the truth. Since we are cousins, I can spare your life. Otherwise, I will let you know what cruelty is."
Ahriman, who was being physically interrogated, felt bitter but could not speak out. God knows why the magic array, which was clearly calculated well, turned out like this.
Seeing that his life might be over, Ahriman could only pray silently in his heart:
[Father! You left so gracefully, what should I do? Come back quickly to save your child! ]
The four heavenly kings who were watching saw that Ahriman was still stubborn and wanted to continue interrogating him, so Emilia took out a stun gun and was about to shock him.
But perhaps Ahriman’s inner prayers were answered. Instead of asking for his father, he summoned his grandfather. A golden light appeared in the interrogation room.
"Keep the gun alive!"
Following the Emperor's rebuke, the electric gun that was flashing with blue electric light finally failed to stab Ahriman.
Seeing that it was the Emperor arriving, several leaders of the Black Watch hurried forward and asked the Emperor to find their father.
"Your Majesty, our father is missing. Please look for him quickly. We in Blackwatch have searched all over the empire, but we still can't find him."
Listening to the request of Hogg's descendants, the Emperor was at a loss. He had used psychic divination countless times, but Hogg and Magnus seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth.
For this reason, the emperor, fearing trouble, boarded the Emperor's Dream with his imperial guards and rode to Alicia at full speed.
Just as he expected, Blackwatch fell into madness without Hogg, and the frantic searching of these black cans could be seen throughout the empire.
In addition, the Black Watch fleet was gathering from all over the galaxy and heading to Alicia, and the progress of the Great Crusade had to be suspended because of them.
"Be patient, descendants of Hogg. I am also looking for him. For this reason, I came to Alicia specially, and I must take away Ahriman whom you are interrogating.
Only he knows the working mechanism of the magic circle, and I will find your father, after all, he is my heir."
When they heard that the Emperor wanted to take Ahriman away, they were of course unwilling to do so. God knew whether they would have any clues after the only participant left Alicia.
But the Emperor's orders cannot be disobeyed. Looking at the Emperor's leaving figure, Lin En, the most stable of the four, calmed everyone down and ordered:
"All Blackwatch outposts are cancelled. Have them all go back to Alicia for war preparations. Their father is already lost, what's the point of transporting shit?
Also, inform Lord Perturabo that my father said that if anything happens to him, he should be sent over."
Lynn's orders were quickly executed, and messages were sent to all parts of the galaxy through Kara. The Fourth Legion far away on the other side of the galaxy also received the news.
Seeing that things were going on in an orderly manner, Emilia, who still had a worried look on her face, walked behind Lynn:
"What if the Emperor doesn't find any trace of my father?"
Listening to the butler's question, Lynn stroked the phase dagger on his waist that was flashing green light. He remembered that when he first met his father, Hogg did not blame him for using alien weapons, but gave him a matching scabbard.
Lin En did not answer Emilia's question, and dragged his heavy body out of the interrogation room. Only a vague and firm voice came from him:
"If the Emperor cannot give us an explanation, then there is no meaning for the world without my father."
