Chapter 1787: Chapter 1019: The Angel’s Bitter Struggle

The forces of the Death Angels’ Supreme Grand Master, E’er Ganglong, have fallen into a bitter struggle.

He rarely feels a tinge of regret.

But just a little.

If given another chance to choose again, he would still gather the mighty army of Death Angels and step into this dead zone, only to be more cautious, to gather more troops, and to more carefully consider whether to accept the support of the New Empire.

But regardless, they must come.

Of course he knows that the Evil God named Bas Sol suddenly revealed itself in the Honey Soil Star District of the Osa Star Domain, clearly for them to detect. That was no coincidence, nor was it due to their great intelligence-gathering ability; it was purely Bas Sol’s intention.

This was an invitation, a blatant provocation.

The Death Angels were certainly going to come.

Being infiltrated within the Giant Stone Monastery had never happened in the Chapter’s ten thousand year history!

When the Giant Stone Monastery was last attacked, this scenario unfolded. If not for the sudden arrival of the Blood Angels, the assaulted Death Angels might not have endured through that battle.

For the Death Angels, they view this as an enormous disgrace. The Chaos enemies launched a despicable sneak attack while they were vulnerable.

Simply washing away this disgrace is enough for the Death Angels to launch an all-out attack on Bas Sol.

Moreover, the purpose of this war is not just about disgrace and honor.

They have even more compelling reasons to come.

The last time the Chaos enemies breached the internal areas of the Giant Stone Monastery, the Death Angels were most worried about the numerous secrets buried deep within the stone structure.

Were the secrets exposed to outsiders?

Is there a possibility of a large-scale widespread leak?

For the Death Angels, the most important goal is to eliminate potential sources of exposure.

And preferably without involving forces outside the lineage of the Death Angels.

So even knowing this battlefield could be a prearranged area by the enemy, a trap, he still resolutely jumped in with his men.

His daring was not purely reckless.

He had his own backing.

The last time, the Death Angels suffered because they only had a limited force of this main Chapter. Though elite enough, the numbers were insufficient. Under the regulations of the "Star Warrior Codex," the legion had long been split; even the Death Angels could only maintain a scale of around a thousand.

But that was not the full strength of the Death Angels.

This time, E’er Ganglong assembled twenty thousand warriors, enough to be termed a ’legion’ size!

He was determined to completely eliminate those daring to provoke the Death Angels!

What does it matter if it’s a trap? E’er Ganglong believed that with the powerful force he had gathered, any trap would be crushed underfoot!

The battle erupted fully as soon as they entered the Honey Soil Star District.

Initially, the scale of war tilted toward the Death Angels. In space battles and planetary landings, they held a decisive upper hand.

Their advantage not only inflicted severe blows and casualties on the enemy but also forced Bas Sol to reveal himself during a battle, annihilating a squad of Death Angels.

Of course, that wasn’t Bas Sol’s true form, but as per the Death Angels’ Chief Think Tank’s judgment, this avatar was Bas Sol’s full exertion.

Eliminating this avatar would significantly impede Bas Sol’s power, making it impossible for him to project a new avatar into the real universe for centuries, greatly affecting his ability to interfere with reality.

Directly annihilating a Subspace Evil God is nearly impossible, especially for beings of Bas Sol’s level. However, destroying his most important avatar, thwarting his plans, killing the Chaos Traitors serving him... achieving this could satisfy the Death Angels temporarily and mark a major revenge.

Thus, upon the confirmation of the intelligence’s accuracy after this figure appeared, E’er Ganglong decisively threw a large force to the target location.

This was a world named Rain Star in the Honey Soil Star District.

According to intelligence, Rain Star is a rainforest world with abundant rainfall; about 91% of the planet is covered by acidic oceans, with the remaining 9% landmass mostly around the equator, consisting of hot and humid rainforest areas. The total population is approximately 550 million, primarily engaged in logging, processing, and primary agricultural products, making it a relatively poor and backward world.

However, the Death Angels discovered during combat that the ’Rain Star’ they encountered seemed not quite right. The land area was significantly larger than recorded; dense forests existed, but unlike the rainforest areas in image records, the type of trees was different, and their forms were rather... twisted.

Initially, they believed the major changes were primarily due to Chaos corruption.

According to Think Tank analyses, Rain Star had significantly plunged into Subspace, even becoming semi-Subspace. Under such conditions, any occurrences on Rain Star didn’t seem surprising.

But soon, they realized things weren’t that simple.

Rather than saying Rain Star was semi-Subspace and about to fall into the Chaos Demon Realm, it would be more accurate to say what was here was not Rain Star at all.

Everything here was almost identical to the homeworld - Knight Star, which should have been destroyed ten thousand years ago according to Chapter records!

Bas Sol! How dare he provoke the Death Angels like this!

All of this was the Evil God’s deliberate doing!

Such blasphemy enraged the Death Angels immensely!

Whatever the Evil God’s purpose, whether it was for another agenda or simply to shame the Death Angels, it no longer mattered.

He must be killed!

E’er Ganglong led their elite Death Angels and sub-groups to descend on Rain Star—they refused to acknowledge it as their homeworld, still using its original name.

However, this indeed was a trap.

When E’er Ganglong led his core main forces to Rain Star, he quickly realized the enemy was not as easy to deal with as previously displayed.

He and his forces were trapped in a bitter battle.

Originally, I intended to write a bit even while on a business trip, but... shamefully, I couldn’t.

Updates will stabilize until completion; there’s not much left.

During the holidays, staying home busy writing!
