Chapter 587 587: Great Victory! Slaanesh Falls
This thing is really nice! It can actually traverse to the Ultra world. The Ultra universe has many parallel worlds. As long as I don't go to places with the Land of Light, 72 hours is very good.
72 hours is enough to do a lot! Like getting some Ultra universe specialties! Or kidnapping a few research talents back?
These things are all doable!
However! Rhodes doesn't plan to traverse to the Ultra universe right now. The Ultraman world is still very dangerous.
He must plan well, like arranging things in the Warhammer universe so that if any emergencies occur while he's away, they can be handled.
After explaining everything, Rhodes quickly left the other-dimensional world and returned to Holy Terra.
Upon returning to the real world and seeing Rhodes appear, the Emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief, his tense emotions relaxing at last.
"Rhodes, you kid finally came back!" the Emperor said.
These past few days, he's been restless, with the entire Holy Terra on high alert. The human Imperium had its nerves stretched to the limit; the Emperor even planned to evacuate residents within 30 light-years of the Sol system!
He, Guilliman, and Malcador made many contingency plans to preserve humanity's spark in case Rhodes couldn't handle it.
Even if they lost Holy Terra, they could still function normally.
"After all, it's a Chaos God's godhood; handling it was quite troublesome. But the good news is, I've successfully dealt with this godhood.
Rest assured! He won't pose any threat to us anymore. A Chaos God has truly been eliminated by us." Rhodes smiled and said.
The Chaos godhood matter was indeed dangerous. The early burden was on the Emperor, and the later burden on Rhodes, so it had to be handled cautiously.
"With you saying that, I'm relieved. This Chaos godhood has completely disappeared, right? There won't be a Slaanesh born again." the Emperor asked.
"That's not certain. I can only guarantee that Slaanesh's godhood has been thoroughly eliminated by us now. But if this universe continues to fall in the future.
If some race self-destructs again, a new Slaanesh could still be born." Rhodes said.
The Chaos godhood has indeed vanished. Now, in the Warp, all daemons of the Slaanesh lineage have become undivided Chaos daemons!
Just like over 10,000 years ago before Slaanesh was born. Now, in this universe, that concept doesn't exist until a new race falls again, like the ancient Eldar, birthing Slaanesh once more.
"That won't happen again. I won't let the human race fall. As for other races, with the lesson of the past, they probably won't do such a thing." the Emperor said.
Unless humanity suddenly falls like the Old Ones and disappears from the galaxy, with a new overlord emerging, no race has the ability to birth Slaanesh!
The only race capable of birthing Slaanesh or other gods now is humanity!
But if humanity truly births a sacrifice, it would be the Dark King within themselves, not Slaanesh.
As for the race that once birthed Slaanesh, the Eldar won't self-destruct now. Even if they wanted to, they don't have the population base anymore!
"We still can't let our guard down. We've only eliminated one Slaanesh; there are other Chaos Gods waiting for us!" Rhodes said.
"You're right! For these past ten-plus years, everyone has been on edge, with no relaxation at all. Now we can finally breathe and rest for a while!
Rhodes, the human Imperium is thriving now; our territories are fully connected." the Emperor said.
This is a great victory for humanity, for the living beings of the galaxy's Materium against a Chaos God!
At this moment, they have truly defeated a Chaos God.
"Indeed, we should rest well for a while. How's the situation in the Imperium's dark side?" Rhodes asked.
During this time, he's been busy with the Chaos godhood and hasn't had time to check on the Primarchs in the Imperium's dark side!
"Now, the Imperium's dark side has been thoroughly reclaimed by the Imperium. All human worlds that were once lost or disconnected.
Have all returned to humanity's embrace. Even some new colonies not belonging to humanity have been conquered by us." the Emperor said.
Don't underestimate the new-era Primarchs. Even the old-era Primarchs, with so many thrown into the dark side, it would be hard for Chaos forces to turn the tables.
Rhodes nodded, chatted a bit more with the Emperor, and left the Golden Throne. The Emperor also needed a good rest.
During this time, the Emperor's face had grown thinner again, his once slightly fuller skin drying out.
After all, stripping a Chaos God's godhood is extremely difficult. If the Emperor hadn't recovered some power, plus the faith of all humanity supporting him, he probably couldn't have accomplished such a feat.
After leaving the Golden Throne, Rhodes made his way to the Imperium's administrative department where Guilliman was.
There were many internal affairs talents handling matters here, some from Macragge, some from Holy Terra.
The leaders were Regent Guilliman and Imperial Chancellor Malcador. Now, Malcador no longer resented Primarchs interfering in Imperium affairs.
After all, without these transcendent beings in this universe, the human race might not survive.
The two brightened up upon seeing Rhodes arrive.
"It's great to see you, Rhodes! Your appearance here means our plan succeeded—the Chaos God's godhood was destroyed, right?" Guilliman said.
"You're right, Guilliman. The Chaos God's godhood has been eliminated by us. Now, only three evil gods remain." Rhodes smiled.
In the future, there might be a fourth. If he wants more system crystals, he'll have to make Vashtorr become a Chaos God and then kill him to harvest a wave.
"Hahaha! For how many years have we humans fought Chaos, always on the back foot? This time, we've finally killed a Chaos God.
This is a day that will go down in history. All of humanity should celebrate this great victory." Malcador said.
Once upon a time, when he and the Emperor built the human Imperium, did they ever imagine killing a Chaos God?
The Chaos Gods' power is too immense; they are immortal existences. But now, a person from another universe, a traveler, actually has the power to eliminate Chaos Gods.
"The ordinary people of the Imperium have no idea what happened. They only know the Imperium won a victory, which isn't much different from defeating a Chaos incursion." Rhodes said.
Isn't that right? Ordinary humans, though now aware of Chaos, have no idea what this means!
"We still need to celebrate. I'll notify the Aeldari of this news; they've been anxiously waiting too." Guilliman said.
Now, humanity and the Eldar have formed an alliance. This major victory will be shared with the Eldar; their hatred for Slaanesh is no less than humanity's.
"Mm! You'll be busy for the next while, Guilliman. I won't help much—I'm off!" Rhodes waved, bid farewell to Guilliman and Malcador, and left directly!
After Rhodes left, Guilliman and Malcador exchanged glances.
"Hahaha! What an unimaginable great victory! It's like I'm back 10,000 years ago, during the early days of the Great Crusade." Malcador said.
Back then, the Emperor would send messages to Holy Terra every day: some Primarch bringing great victory to the Imperium, some lost human world reclaimed, some vile xenos eliminated by humanity!
...
Holy Terra immediately notified the Eldar of the complete elimination of the Chaos godhood.
The Eldar's Goddess of Life, the Eldar Laughing God, and even the Eldar God of Death, who had been privately fixed up by Rhodes, confirmed the news' authenticity.
The Eldar's greatest enemy, the daemon Slaanesh that tormented all Eldar souls, has finally been eliminated!
Countless Eldar wept with joy, even the Dark Eldar. These years, they've suffered greatly from Slaanesh; some purple Slaanesh greater daemon would occasionally raid Commorragh.
Ruthlessly slaughtering Dark Eldar members!
The Craftworld Eldar were also notified. The Eldar have walked a path of ten thousand years; they no longer need to follow it. Every Eldar member can freely choose their desired life, no longer suppressing their emotions!
To evade Slaanesh's soul-sucking, the Craftworld Eldar paid a heavy price. For ten thousand years, they almost abandoned emotions altogether.
Now, they can finally regain the feeling of enjoying the seven emotions and six desires.
However, immediately after, the Eldar's Goddess of Life, God of Death, and Laughing God simultaneously issued an order to all ethnic members.
All Eldar members, without exception: you can enjoy emotions, fall in love, find your beloved, no longer suppress your inner feelings.
But remember, do not emulate the ancient empire's nobles in starting that indulgent, luxurious lifestyle.
That is absolutely unacceptable, as it might birth a new evil god, something the Eldar absolutely cannot accept.
All Eldar members prayed to their revered gods, vowing to uphold their oaths and never indulge in sensory stimulations like the ancient Eldar empire.
While all Aeldari celebrated the victory, another good news descended upon the Eldar.
Besides the God of Death, Laughing God, and Goddess of Life, the Eldar now have a fourth god: the Goddess of Love and Beauty, the God of Art, Aisha.
She is the sister of the Goddess of Life and also an Eldar god!
"Praise the great Goddess of Love."
"Praise the great Goddess of Beauty, God of Art Aisha." Countless Eldar began to cheer.
This is a great moment: the Eldar have broken free from Slaanesh's shackles, can finally release their long-suppressed emotions, and have birthed a fourth Eldar god. Humanity also celebrated, but for ordinary people, compared to a Chaos God's fall.
They celebrated more the return of all Primarchs, the Imperium reclaiming countless lost territories, and humanity growing stronger.
Rhodes's two sons were also warring everywhere, for their father, for the human Imperium!
At this time, on the Cosmic Beast Planet, Aisha's body floated in the air, absorbing the psychic power from countless planets and Craftworlds across the galaxy from Aeldari.
After completing the Chaos godhood's sealing and stripping, she returned to Rhodes's side.
At this moment, she felt unprecedentedly good!
This successful elimination of Slaanesh—the Eldar God of Death helped not at all, while she was the key core figure, consolidating her position in Eldar society even more strongly.
Now, the God of Death's position is quite awkward. He was once like the Eldar's savior? But now, with the Eldar's greatest enemy eliminated, this savior position.
Seems somewhat absurd, because after losing Slaanesh's threat, the Eldar are theoretically immortal.
Upon death, they'll cycle through the Warp and reincarnate in the Materium, of course!
This is limited to naturally born Aeldari members; cloned Dark Eldar don't count.
"It's truly peculiar. I once appeared as the fourth Chaos God, and now I'm the fourth born Eldar god." Aisha said.
"You've finally escaped the Chaos godhood's threat. Now, this Chaos godhood has been thoroughly eliminated by me." Rhodes said.
The Chaos godhood has been recharged into the system by him, completely vanishing from this world.
"Indeed, I never thought you could really eliminate the Chaos godhood. I thought you'd give it to one of your subordinates like before." Aisha said.
"Hahaha! Sometimes plans change. It's better to thoroughly eliminate the Chaos godhood, and it can better increase my power." Rhodes smiled.
Isn't that right? For Rhodes now, Chaos godhoods are great stuff—the only thing discovered that can recharge system crystals!
