Chapter 167: Warhammer: Lord of the Endless Monster Horde [167]

Words : 1678 Updated : Oct 11th, 2025

The war in the Webway continues. The two Ace Killers radiate the Emperor's psychic light from head to toe, unleashing all kinds of beam attacks, bombarding the daemon army mercilessly. Countless low-level daemons are evaporated by the golden light released by the two Ace Killers before they can even get close, disappearing without a trace. Moreover, all the daemons killed are annihilated, unable to return to the Warp for resurrection. They've been utterly erased. For daemons, their essence lies in their souls, not their physical bodies. Their bodies are merely a form of material energy. And some low-level daemons can't even scratch the surface of larger, more powerful beings! Even if the Ace Killers stood completely still, the low-level daemons wouldn't be able to break their defenses. On the other hand, the beam attacks from the Ace Killers are like a natural disaster to the demons. Even if an elite soldier in the Webway has nanosecond reflexes, no matter how sharp their spear or how precise their swordsmanship is, they cannot match the killing efficiency of giants. Small daemons are nothing more than fodder. The two Ace Killers are like war gods, slaughtering the low-level daemons in the Webway with reckless abandon. After three hours of combat, the two Ace Killers had slaughtered millions of daemons, allowing Rhodes to earn tens of thousands of system coins in just a few hours. Meanwhile, stronger daemons began to join the assault on the Webway. However, even these more powerful daemons were no match for the Ace Killers. The only thing they succeeded in doing was providing even more system coins. The battle raged from morning until afternoon. After hours of bloodshed, the Ace Killers' energy was finally running low. Rhodes directly enhances the Ace killers' size and strength. With a burst of golden light, the previously exhausted Ace Killers were reinvigorated, springing back to life and resuming their slaughter of the Webway daemons. ["Your strategy is pretty impressive. I thought those two would've fallen by now!"] the Emperor said with admiration. The Webway War had always been a source of pain for him. Back when the Webway first opened, countless daemons poured out in an endless torrent. His Custodians held the line with their lives, fighting the monsters. The daemon army seemed inexhaustible. Even though the Custodians had nearly bottomless stamina, they couldn't endure such relentless consumption. In the end, the Emperor had to take the Golden Throne and seal the Webway entirely. But now, Rhodes had summoned two giants imbued with psychic light, which was already devastating to daemons, combined with their terrifying size. Unless a top-tier Greater Daemon showed up, these ordinary little daemons were no match at all. Even swarming tactics wouldn't work. "I used this same strategy when I faced the Tyranids. That was when I first arrived in this world! You must've noticed my special abilities by now. My only fear is that they won't come to fight me. As long as they keep engaging me like this, no one can beat me," Rhodes said with a smile. By now, the night was approaching. The Captain-General Trajann entered the Emperor's throne room with another group of psykers. Rhodes and his three scientists were once again asked to leave, but this time, Daram was left behind on the Golden Throne to continue absorbing the power of the Dark Emperor. Meanwhile, in the Webway, the two Ace Killers continued their relentless slaughter of the daemon army. The Golden Throne showed no signs of malfunction. After bidding farewell to the Emperor, Rhodes returned to his ship and began remotely monitoring the Webway War through his system. Whenever the Ace Killers ran low on energy, he would immediately reinforce them. His task was simple. In the Warp, countless daemons had discovered a passage to the material universe and were swarming into it with reckless abandon. But within that passage, golden lights would flash intermittently, causing the daemons to vanish on the spot, completely obliterated without leaving a trace. For five whole days, Rhodes spent his mornings chatting casually with the Emperor in the palace, exchanging stories. The Emperor would recount tales of the Great Crusade, the creation of the Primarchs, and his efforts to gather them. Meanwhile, Rhodes' three scientists worked on repairing the Golden Throne. Rhodes kept an eye on his system interface, monitoring his two Ace Killers. Whenever their energy ran low, he would replenish it. So far, their height and weight have been enhanced four times. On average, their stamina would last an entire day of fighting before running out. As for injuries—honestly, these daemons weren't even worthy of wounding them. Rhodes had also upgraded their beam abilities with the Emperor's Light, ensuring they could instantly kill low-level daemons. He replaced their assassin armor, reinforcing it three times and equipping them with massive golden battle armor and golden greatswords for daemon-slaying. Now, the two Ace Killers were practically replicas of the Emperor himself, a sight even the Emperor appreciated. ["Hey friend, how about giving me one of those big guys?"] "Are you planning to make this Ace Killer your living saint?" Rhodes asked. Who would've thought the Emperor would take a liking to his Ace Killers? Then again, their current appearance was indeed very tempting to him! "But this thing really can't be transferred. Or pretending to transfer it to the Emperor—isn't that a bit dishonest?" ["My power is very strong now; lend me one to play around with. I'll infuse them with some of my psychic power. When my Living Saint goes out to handle matters, she can bring one along for sure. It will boost morale,"] said the Emperor. After absorbing for several days, his dark-side self was now completely drained, but this allowed him to do even more things. "I really can't transfer this to you. I have the highest usage rights. But renting it out is possible," Rhodes said with a smile. ["Let's discuss the price. The Webway under my throne will remain open for you to use anytime."] "Deal!" Rhodes nodded in satisfaction. This Webway war brought Rhodes close to 50,000 system gold coins every day. After five whole days of battle, Rhodes had earned a total of 250,000 gold coins. And those two Ace Killers could still hold out for a long time! Once their height and weight were fully enhanced, Rhodes planned to proceed with light-beam enhancements. Rhodes had already summoned Ace Robot over, intending to let them directly absorb Ace's Metallium Ray within the Webway. At the same time, Rhodes also planned to spend 100,000 system gold coins for a low-tier shop lottery draw to designate a mechanical monster. He hoped to figure out a way to summon Ace Seven so that these two Ace killers could acquire the Emerium Ray and Wide Shot—two of Seven's signature skills. These light-beam abilities would allow them to be further strengthened for some time. ... Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, another five days passed. The two Ace killers had grown to over 50 meters tall. They were clad in heavy golden armor, radiating golden psychic light from head to toe. They could release the Metallium Rays from their palms. At this moment, the four bastards in the Warp also noticed something was wrong in the Webway. Initially, they thought the Emperor's power had weakened, and they could continue to toy with the Lord of Humanity. This seemed like a great opportunity for an invasion to deplete more of the Lord of Humanity's power. However, something seemed slightly off! They sent billions of small daemons, intending to exhaust the Custodians' strength within the Webway. But when these small daemons charged in, they didn't face the Custodians. Instead, they encountered two 50-meter-tall monsters radiating golden light—the Emperor's golden glow—from head to toe. These monsters possessed unimaginable power. Each one surpassed the level of a Greater Daemon, and their stamina seemed infinite. Within the Webway, they had been locked in a bloody war with the daemon army for ten days and ten nights. Yet these two monsters showed no signs of exhaustion. Even their armor looked brand new. They had transformed into massive golden armor-clad figures—a spitting image of the Lord of Humanity. What was even more terrifying was that the low-level daemons killed by these monsters didn't return to the Warp to reconstruct their bodies and rejoin the battle. Instead, they were completely and utterly annihilated. This was truly strange! By all logic, this shouldn't be possible! Even the weakest daemons required specific methods and weapons to kill them permanently. Otherwise, destroying their physical form would only banish them back to the Warp. What on earth were these two monsters? Could it be that guy? Is he about to become the fifth Chaos God? Were these two monsters his Greater Daemons? The four bastards in the Warp immediately thought of a terrifying possibility. A Living Saint could be considered a kind of alternative Daemon Prince. These gigantic golden replicas of the Emperor could very well be his Greater Daemons! It's important to know that only by truly advancing to become one of the Chaos Gods could someone create their own Greater Daemons. Creating Greater Daemons was akin to splitting off a part of oneself. Each Greater Daemon was a carefully crafted masterpiece of the Chaos Gods. These two golden-armored monsters rampaging in the Webway bore an uncanny resemblance to the Emperor, even larger than the Emperor himself by several times. This couldn't help but make one think about certain other possibilities. These two were indeed the Emperor's creations—his Greater Daemons. The Emperor had already, through some alternative method, neared the threshold of becoming a Chaos God! This speculation sent chills down the spines of the Chaos Gods. This was not good news for them. The four Chaos Gods tacitly agreed to hold an emergency meeting.
