"Oh, it's Yuan Shen. Why are you here? How did you get here? Go back to your home galaxy!"
Yuan Shen's appearance made Zeke feel a bit abstract. How did this guy appear here? This is unreasonable.
"Who are you calling Yuan Shen!"
Zeke could clearly see the angry expression on the ring's body.
"You're a bastard! If you don't want to pay me back, then don't, but you even demolished my home."
He was furious, shaking uncontrollably.
"I'm telling you, if you don't want to pay me back, I won't ask for that debt anymore. But you demolished our home, and this matter will absolutely not end so easily!"
"Your Terran Dominion won't be able to get here anytime soon. We have united, and for 200 years, your Terran Dominion will absolutely not reach this place where you are."
"I know your civilization is strong, and I know that individually, we absolutely cannot defeat you. But all of us together can stop you for a few hundred years without a problem!"
"Now that they can't get here, it's my turn to deal with you properly!"
"You've grown weaker, you abominable Emperor of Mankind of the Terran Dominion!"
Perhaps he was angered by Zeke, or by what Zeke had made the Terran Dominion do before. In any case, Yuan Shen directly blurted out everything he had to say.
But for some reason, the Chaos Gods heard a lack of confidence and a look of cowardice in his aggressive words.
What do you mean they all united, and the Terran Dominion needs enough time to get here? What does it mean that it will take at least a few hundred, or at least 200 years?
So, even with all of them together, they still can't beat the opponent, right?
Feeling the gazes of the four guys next to him, Yuan Shen couldn't help but tremble his round ring again.
"What kind of look is that? What kind of look are you giving me? The Terran Dominion is such a vast civilization. Do you think it's easy to stop them when they want to come find their Emperor? Unless we engage in total war with them, we simply can't hold them back!"
"I'm telling you, if you don't unite to deal with this Terran Dominion Emperor named Zeke, once that terrifying Dominion arrives in your universe, that so-called Immaterium Engine will drain the entire Warp!"
"Don't blame me for not warning you then. This Terran Dominion is not easy to talk to; you will only become batteries!"
Yuan Shen felt that the four guys next to him seemed to be considering backing down, so he quickly added some more threats.
Zeke's mouth twitched at his threat.
"Yuan Shen, have you not spoken for too long? Why has your speech become so slurred?"
Yuan Shen: "Bah... Who are you calling Yuan Shen? Don't call me so intimately. You still owe me money, and you demolished my house, you bastard!"
"Everyone, attack! Beat this guy up immediately!"
After angrily berating Zeke again, Yuan Shen said this to the four Chaos Gods next to him.
Then, streams of energy were drawn from his body and entered the bodies of the Chaos Gods.
"The energy from this body of mine, I give it all to you now, to strengthen your abilities!"
"Go!"
"All of you, attack him for me!"
After saying this, Yuan Shen disappeared into this Warp, as if he had never appeared.
However, in a place invisible to others, a stream of energy went straight towards the Emperor.
This energy directly entered the Emperor's body, further accelerating his ascension to godhood.
So much so that the Emperor was now unable to stand up from the golden throne, even without Zeke's help.
When this energy entered the Emperor's body, Zeke naturally felt the change.
After all, Zeke's psychic entity was over by the golden throne.
the Emperor's sudden surge in power naturally made Zeke feel it.
This change was unexpected by Zeke. No contingency plan had ever anticipated what was happening now.
The auras of the four Chaos Gods in front were surging, and the Warp tides in the Warp became even fiercer.
If before, Zeke alone could fight all four of them, and the Emperor alone could fight two of them, now it was different.
Now, each of them could fight the Emperor to a draw, while the other three could fight Zeke to a draw, and even gain the upper hand. To ensure he didn't fall behind, Zeke would ideally only fight two at a time.
It could be said that a perfect balance in the Warp had been achieved.
And the most troubling thing was that the Emperor couldn't act right now, which meant Zeke had to fight all four of them alone.
"Are you sure you want to fight me? Perhaps two of you combined could fight me, but individually, you'd still be crushed in my hands."
"I advise you to think carefully before acting." With the four guys opposite him surging with power, Zeke could only urge them to think twice.
After all, he needed to buy enough time to return to the golden throne and extract that energy from the Emperor.
Only then could their side's combat power achieve balance with chaos, instead of being like now... But how could the Chaos Gods think twice?
Moreover, this was their only chance to beat Zeke soundly. How could they give up such a good opportunity?
Having been beaten so badly by Zeke before, now with their strengthened power, if they still didn't dare to fight Zeke, what was the point of the four of them living?
Were they supposed to wait until Zeke went back, sorted out the Emperor's power, and achieved that eerie balance again?
Absolutely not, this was absolutely unacceptable!
Furthermore, Yuan Shen's power wasn't so easy to take. They had to fight Zeke.
If they didn't fight, these powers would never obey them, and they wouldn't have enough opportunity to digest these powers.
"Excuse me, big brother~" To Zeke's surprise, the first to attack him was not Khorne, but Slaanesh, who lashed out with a whip directly towards Zeke.
Slaanesh's action completely signaled the official outbreak of this confrontation in the Warp.
Zeke sidestepped the whip, which glowed with a strange pink light, and ripples spread across his golden armor.
He frowned slightly: "Are you sure you want to do this?"
Khorne's great axe had already cleaved before him, with a bloody roar: "Enough talk! Today, I'll take your hands!"
Tzeentch's flames simultaneously surged from all directions, countless incantations swirling in the void: "Your destiny is already sealed, Emperor of Mankind."
Nurgle's plague mist spread, and the paternity's whisper came from within the green toxic fog: "I let you hit me for no reason, I only hit your fleet once, did you really need to hold a grudge for so long?"
Zeke snorted coldly, and the light of the Eternal Throne erupted. The sacred golden light dispelled Tzeentch's flames, purified Nurgle's plague, and fiercely collided with Khorne's blood axe.
"Since you insist on fighting—" Zeke's voice boomed like a great bell, "—then I'll show you why humanity can stand for ten thousand years!"
The next moment, countless cracks appeared on Zeke's back.
A colossal civilization was revealed before the four Chaos Gods.
The Chaos Gods couldn't explain it at all.
They only knew it was a powerful civilization they had never imagined.
Not only their gaze, but when they looked at that civilization, a feeling of fear appeared in their hearts, as if they had encountered some natural enemy.
And when the space gate behind Zeke opened, Weiss, who was commanding the Terran Dominion's army to fight against the Warp gods' army, immediately sensed it.
"Ezekiel," a soft voice entered Zeke's ears, and then Weiss's figure also appeared in The Warp. This was a figure entirely composed of energy.
Her main body still couldn't cross over, but Weiss could first let a part of her energy construct a body to appear beside Zeke.
Of course, this energy body would still dissipate after the fight, as Weiss currently couldn't come over to accompany Zeke. She had to first deal with the predicament the Terran Dominion was currently facing.
Engaging in battle with the divine army in The Warp was not an easy matter for the Terran Dominion.
As all the gods in The Warp joined forces to target the Terran Dominion, this led to the complete outbreak of war.
Even the Immaterium Engine couldn't destroy all these Chaos Gods, because the current Warp was different from The Warp they had previously emptied.
After Weiss appeared beside Zeke, Zeke almost immediately embraced Weiss without hesitation.
The two hugged each other tightly.
Time in the world seemed to stop at this moment. Even the Chaos Gods were shocked by this scene and then ceased their attacks.
They also sensed the powerful energy of the newly appeared existence. Not to mention, these two were clearly a young couple. If they interrupted them at this moment, the consequences...
Zeke and Weiss embraced, but this scene made Slaanesh's eyes turn red.
????
Why wasn't he hers? Why wasn't Zeke hers? Why did Zeke already have a companion?
In his rage, just as Zeke and Weiss had embraced, Slaanesh lashed out with a whip again.
The whip-shadow tore through the air, but was blocked by an invisible barrier before it could touch Weiss.
Weiss didn't even turn around; he simply raised his hand gently, and the whip, imbued with evil magic, shattered into pieces, turning into nothingness.
"It's very rude to interrupt someone's reunion," Weiss' voice was still soft, but the power it contained made the four gods involuntarily take half a step back.
Zeke released his embrace but still held Weiss's hand. He turned to the four gods, golden light shining even brighter in his eyes: "Now, it's two against four. Didn't you want to fight? Then let's give it a try!"
Weiss was here; if he still chickened out now, he wouldn't be Zeke.
The four gods exchanged glances, their originally arrogant demeanor clearly wilting under Weiss's invisible pressure.
Tzeentch's countless eyes spun rapidly, seemingly calculating the odds of victory.
Khorne's fingers, tightly gripping his battle-axe, loosened slightly; Nurgle let out an uneasy gurgle; only Slaanesh still trembled with jealousy.
"Wait!" Tzeentch suddenly spoke, his voice carrying a rare urgency, "Perhaps we don't need to resort to war."
Weiss tilted his head slightly, his nano-energy formed hair gently swaying in The Warp fluctuations: "But you all seemed very eager to fight just now."
His tone was calm, yet it made the four gods simultaneously feel a chill that reached their very essence.
It was clear that these guys' attempts to attack Zeke made Weiss very displeased. After all, Zeke was someone even he himself was reluctant to harm, so what right did these guys have?
This energy body wouldn't last much longer, so it was better to take this opportunity to beat these guys up first.
Sometimes, the most important thing is to show enough deterrence. The eternal throne has just opened that gate, consuming too much energy, and it's impossible to open it again in a short period.
Therefore, she must teach these Chaos Gods a lesson during the time she is here and before the energy of this body is depleted.
Nurgle rumbled, "the ring… it lied to us. It said the Terran Dominion couldn't come over…"
"It didn't lie," Weiss directly interrupted Nurgle.
"The Terran Dominion truly cannot cross over right now, and even my main body cannot. But I am a bit more special than others."
He looked at Zeke, his eyes gentle: "No matter where he is, I can find a way, and I will definitely come."
"Alright, enough with the pleasantries. It's time for you to pay the price for your actions."
Weiss's delicate hand waved, and countless nano-torrents began to surge towards the Chaos Gods.
And Zeke directly drew his sword and slashed at Nurgle.
In The Warp, the divine war erupted again, and at this moment, the Emperor was diligently suppressing his impending ascension to godhood, while also idly observing the battle in The Warp.
When he saw the person beside Zeke, he inexplicably began to miss his own companions.
Zeke was different from him; he seemed to have other companions, while he… he seemed to have no other friends by his side. The only one who could continue to converse with him like a friend was Zeke. As for the others… The Emperor felt a sudden sense of loneliness, but having been tortured on the golden throne for over 10,000 years, he was still able to control his emotions.
He quickly resumed suppressing his ascending divine power.
In The Warp, the divine war erupted again, and this time, under the blessing of Yuan Shen, it did not cause too much impact on the real universe.
The real universe was still unaware of what was happening in The Warp; they were continuing to act according to their original plan.
At the same time, although Yuan Shen's plan had some minor flaws, overall, it remained unchanged.
His envisioned scenario of the four gods of chaos ganging up on Zeke did not occur. Due to Weiss's appearance, it turned into a husband-and-wife tag team of Weiss and Zeke beating up the Chaos Gods.
However, the overall strategy was still achieved, for example, Zeke can no longer directly interfere with the situation in the real universe.
While Weiss and Zeke working together to beat up the Chaos Gods was completely fine, it also tied up most of their energy, preventing both of them from intervening in the real universe.
Although Yuan Shen's scheme was not entirely successful, half a success is still a success. Now, he no longer needed to worry about excessive power interfering with the war in the real universe.
The armies of the orks and the Black Legion were advancing like a flood towards the Calixis Sector, but Zeke was no longer there.
This battle would have no other interference; instead, it would be purely decided by the ground and naval forces in the real universe.
