Bab 234: Victory of the Butcher of Bloodfire Falls
(General POV)
Location the Chaos Wastes/The Bloodfire Falls
Kholek has surrender, as the dragon ogre shaggoth was beaten badly by the khornate champion...but so was the avatar damaged from their brutal battle, but still in the end Ixion/Khorne came out victorious.
Pointing his avatar's daemonic, khornate greatsword the Hellbane at his vanquished opponent.
As he lower Ixion's Hellbane and said to Kholek, "You shall now, serve us as our commander and hammer. To destroy all that stand against us, now rise Kholek Suneater, and serve us as well as the Dark Gods!!!" hearing these words from Ixion, Kholek swore himself and his forces to serve the "Chosen of the Gods" with that done not only has he conquered the Bloodfire Falls as part of their domain, but they have passed the second trial of the Gods.
Before Khorne could command his forces both old and new to start making their way inside of Enzium, a surge of chaotic energies started to surge, meaning the Speaker, Zxaie-xie has made his presence known...or better said he showed himself since Khorne and his brothers knew that the Speaker was watching them from above.
As the magic surge, ceased revealing the hooded specter, Zxaie-xie bowing to them as he said to them, "Congratulations, Ixion Daemonhart. You all have passed the second trial of the Gods. But now isn't the time to be complacent...the next trial, shall take beyond the reaches of the chaotic north." the Warp Gods, hearing what the Speaker said knew that their weaker counterparts were tired of them remaining in the North and want them to start attacking and corrupting the Southlands.
It might be earlier that the Dark One, originally intended but even he was starting to tire fighting weak Chaos forces...once Zxaie-xie tell them what the third trial is they'll start preparing to return to the Warp, and improve Ixion.
Since a not fully empowered Kholek caused this much damage, what would happen when they fight against Malekith or Ungrim Ironfist in physical combat, or even Kairos Fateweaver's magical wrath.
Ixion needs a desperate improvement, as they heard what the Speaker is to inform them.
The third trial was to track down and collect several powerful artifacts that will be a great asset to Chaos, those said relics were the Sword of Khaine from the Elves, the Carstein Ring from the Vampire Counts, and lastly four of nine Books of Nagash, from the Tomb Kings...
These requirements to complete the next trial is not only forcing the Dark One and his brothers to go fight the Undead, Dark Elves, and Tomb Kings but all other races and factions in between Sylvania to Nehekhara, like Norsca, Ogres, Kislev, Empire, Dwarves, and more...
While originally Laharl wanted the Chaos Wastes completely under their control to be the main source of reinforcements and territory for them, and their Dark Legion, looks like they have to act like Wulfrik the Wanderer Campaign in Total War, wandering the world and conquer everything and everyone in a aggressive style of campaign.
Before the Speaker left they demanded to know was there any time limit in this trial, Zxaie-xie confirmed to them there wasn't one...but once all artifacts are collected they must be brought to Zanbaijin.
Laharl knew that not only was this so the Four Chaos Gods can obtain the souls trapped in that Chaos Altar, but also allow other rivals to challenge them while they offered the relics.
The Dark Harbinger could already tell that this trial shall more annoying then the last two, while both Khorne and Nurgle were excite at the opportunity to reap souls and fight other races of the Old World...truth be told Laharl felt the same.
So as the Speaker, banished away Khorne relinquished his sole command to a shared one, reverting their avatar to it Undivided state, still showing extensive damage from Khorne's wold battle against Kholek Suneater.
Speaking of the Shaggoth, they summoned some shartaks to appear and aid Kholek inside of Enzium once inside they heal him and prepare their journey/campaign south...
Doing as their lord commanded, four dragon ogres came and aided Kholek as they carried him towards the titanic, Greater Chaos Daemon, Enzium.
They then commanded the newly expanded Dark Legion to start making their way inside Enzium as well, as they still had much to do in the name of the Gods aka themselves.
Location the Chaos Wastes/The Bloodfire Falls-Within Enzium, Throne Chamber
The Warp Gods, were victorious now the Heralds of the Tempest are fully absorbed into their service, and currently within the many levels of Enzium.
They rested on the throne of the chamber, with their unwanted guide, Zxaie-xie standing or floating in the corner as their throne-hall was filled with flesh hounds and mortfinis, even with the said Speaker trying his best to be unnoticed the Warp Gods, can sense clearly the negative emotions and desires directed at them.
Once they finished these annoying trials, they'll going to enjoying killing that hooded insect.
Khorne spoke, "That was a great battle!!! Worthy of the Lord of Skulls and Battle!!!! Aillia show me and my brothers, my growth in strength!!!!" before either the Dark One or the Maggothking could reprimand Khorne's behavior towards their advisor.
Aillia spoke, (Right away, Lord Khorne!) to the Carnage and Plague Gods surprise she didn't seem upset as a screen showing Khorne's avatar state progress.

Laharl and Nurgle were impressed and complimented their brother.
Not only has he become the highest leveled of all of them, but gained several new skills and abilities for their use, and also seems that the Blood God's stubborness facing Kholek's lightning has also allowed them to gain a [Lightning Resistance] as well.
The one most proud of this was of course tye Blood God as he heard his brother, the Dark One say to him, "Yes, yes we couldn't have achieve this much without you, Khorne. But now isn't the time to become arrogant or complacent. Regardless of your victory Khorne, we nearly lost Ixion Daemonhart, which would have activated the "Recall" function. We need to make Ixion stronger before our next battle, and drastically increase the number of our army." both Khorne and Laharl agreed.
Plus they all have many things to do in their own respected realm in the Immaterium, that they called upon the power of the Dimensional Gate, to freeze time again on the Old World completely stopping all flow of time, space, and movement in the Old World entirely...
It was time to return to the Warp, for sometime and prepare for the upcoming battles at the south.
So they used Haz'kariot to open a direct rift back to their world and onto the Azure Moon, the crystal center turned into a diamond and wailed opening a rift to make quicker their way back to their homeworld, as the Haz'kariot does work with the Dimensional Gate, in a lesser extent but only limited to their return to the Warp, to return they must use the Gate...minor inconvenience in their opinion.
Location the Warp-Realm of Chaos, Over the Plague Garden, the Azure Moon's Core/Secret Azure Moon Altar of Ixion
Once again the three brothers have returned to the altar of their avatar, stepping throught the rift onto the familiar azure blue color, stone altar of their avatar.
They saw their bodies securely sitting on their respected throne around the altar, as they quickly placed their avatar in his resting spot, they laid Ixion in its previous kneeling position holding onto the Hellbane place in front of it, they felt their consciousness fade from within the avatar, and back into their real bodies...
Once again all three of them, stood from their respected spot in the Thrones of the Damned, stared at the beaten up Ixion and immediately with all of them sharing the same thought rised their respected right hand and pointed at the avatar as hellfire (Khorne), miasma (Nurgle), and shadow (Laharl) surge out their arms and swirled around the spherical barrier of their avatar.
The shadow, miasma, and flames swirled around the energy sphere and restoring Ixion to it prime state at least for now it was fixed and later they'll upgrade as they each wanted to return to their respected realm.
It was time to rest, replenish, and later upgrade their avatar after nearly breaking down, and nearly losing to Kholek Suneater it sure needed to be improved.
They each left the altar, going outside to the surface of the laharlish/khornate/nurglish corrupted moon, they all went their own way with Nurgle imitating Khorne's previous way of returning to his realm by simply jumping off the Azure Moon, falling straight into his disgusting, festering Garden.
Khorne looked at his brother, Laharl and said to him, "See you soon brother, I must return to my dear Valkia...wish your wives, are better as well." as the Blood God, ignited his entire being in hellfire and flew away back to the Blood Lands.
Laharl was a bit surprised and...touched that his younger brother, was being...kind...
So the Dark One used his [Physical Shift] to sprout his six great wings (four of them feathered & two devil-like) spreading his Sox wings wide before taking flight back to the Nethervoid.
Location the Plague Garden-The Blighted Mansion/The Withered Throne-Apothecary Chambers
Nurgle he was overjoyed to be back again in his lovely Garden, like Khorne did before with the Azure Moon hanging above his realm he was the fastest to return to their respected realm of the three.
He let out a contemp and pleased sigh as he sat down on his withered throne, a bunch of Bilepipers were playing lovely melodies for their Grandfather, as Nurgle called for some Nurglings to bring him the most fermented and mold covered barrel of Ambrossia from his cellar...the Plague God was most excited to taste his little...experiment on his brother's euphoric drink, especially with a "month" worth of fermentation in the Garden.
As his little scamps, skitter towards the Cellar, Nurgle contemplated what he should do next, after spending a month with his brother slaughtering, conquering, and corrupting thousands of mortals, as well as conversing with one another he learned much more of Elder Daemons, chosen amongst the most favored and strongest of all their daemons.
Laharl has four already under his service, Ba'al Allseer, Mordred Deathharbinger, Nidhog, and the fly daemon, Beelzabub, that Nurgle still honestly believes that would be better under his service and loving embrace than his brother...and truth be told, he has tried several occasions to convince/bribe his older brother in granting him command, and godhood over Beelzabub.
Regardless he still believes that he might gain Beelzabub's loyalty and service in the future but he returned to his original thoughts, that Laharl has four Elder Daemons, while Khorne has three Skarbrand, Karanak, and Zsash.
So it was time for the Plague God to start chosing his own candidates for Elder Daemonhood...currently there was only one viable choice, his lovely child, Ku'gath Plaguefather.
Smiling at that though, Nurgle was utterly sastified with his choice, next he thought of the outcome of the battle at Bloodfire Falls.
Thinking of their near first defeat that they might have suffered if not for Khorne's stubborness and perseverance, so he'll need to create something new to add to his avatar state to compliment his shield and new heavy armor that has already assimilated with Ixion.
Before the Maggothking...a new name that Nurgle most welcomed to his list of aliases that he gained from the Old World...before he could pondered on when and where to ascend his first chosen child to the new rank of Elder Daemons, a swarm of nurglings came with a brown, green, and mold infected barrel of Ambrossia.
Laughing joyously, he reached out and grabbed the barrel with his skeletal claws, as he brought to his bloated and boil covered lips, Nurgle heard the most loveliest of news in the course that he and his brothers have been away the contract between him and Laharl was in play.
And his ambrossia stash has grown from more than three barrels, which means he can further experiment as he drank the slightly fade violet colored liquid, enjoying the sour fermented taste...but it could be stronger for now he'll enjoy the music and drink as later he'll summon Ku'gath to ascend him and gather more daemons for the Dark Legion.
Location the Blood Lands-The Brass Citadel/The Gore Fortress, the Skull Thrones of Khorne
Khorne landed on his domain, greeted by all his daemons as he made his way up the Brass Citadel to enter the Gore Fortress and reunite with his beloved wife, Valkia.
With the "time" that has passed in the Warp, surely his wife should be healed completely or almost completely...
Making his way through his fortress, with all the blood Daemons kneeling and bowing before the Bloodstained Lord of Murder.
Khorne reached the 8th floor, of the Gore Fortress, the official throne room, which is littered with countless skulls including the new slain personally by the Blood God in the Bloodfire Falls, so amongst the skulls of humans, orkz, Titanomachy giants, and eldars now has dragon ogres all forming part of the Skull Stairs and the hordes scattered around in the lower level of the Throne Room.
He climbed the skull-made stairway straight to the top where the two Skull Thrones reside, along with his wife waiting for him at the top.
Khorne saw Valkia has her eyes restored, she greeted her husband as he rushed to her and held her tightly in a loving embrace.
The Gorequeen was surprised at first but in the end welcomed her beloved husband's loving expression of concern and relief, while she's still far from fully heal it was a mayor advance in her recovery...they stared into each others' eyes and shared a loving, passionate kiss...
Location the Nethervoid-Castle Neo Oblivion/The Bedroom
Laharl returned from Ixion's altar within the Azure Moon, immediately he returned to his home eager to see his beloved wives.
When he entered the bed chambers, he was greeted by his seven wives...but when they looked at him, he was shocked and filled with soo much joy as their eyes have been restored...he rushed towards them and he hugged and kissed them all with soo much love and relief he could muster.
They were also overwhelmed with joy, thou their sight has yet to fully heal they can finally see physically, instead on relying on their divine sight to actually "see", they the entire day together in bed, snuggling, kissing, and holding onto to each other.
The next "day"...
Location the Castle Neo Oblivion-The Dinning Hall
Once again he can eat with his beloved queens, while their sight wasn't fully recovered they're able to see in some level and not need as much attention from the succubi as before.
So now they can enjoy an exquisite meal together he requested the lilims to prepare a huge roast smothered in gravy, cooked vegetables and cream potatoes, a true feast worthy of the occasion, and of course constant flow of Ambrossia.
As their meal was brought and they ate, Laharl told his wives Chi, Kiira, Scalpel, Jade, Cassandra, Ruu, and Ragna what has occurred in the Old World.
The most excited of this new world were Chi desiring to corrupt and claim the Wood Elves' domain of Athel Loren, Scalpel wanted to get new test samples and subjects from Dwarves to Lizardmen as she saw potential in adding these new strains and bodies to her experiments and quite possibly her Flesh Horror as well.
While Jade and Ragna were quite eager and excited to fight and crush these new opponents but they along the rest of them were still not able to fight at their prime condition, they would only a nuisance to their husband, but Laharl stopped and silenced them, telling them they'll never be a nuisance to him and that he loved them making all seven of them quite happy, as they enjoyed their feast together and conversed with each other...Laharl was soo glad his wives were better than before and while they ate he decided to check some of his skills and abilities see if theirs been any major changes.
Just like the helpful and irreplaceable advisor she was Aillia already pulled up the two lists (Skills) and (Divinity).

Laharl was pleased with everything he has obtained and gained in the month of campaigning in the Old World.
He thanked Aillia mentally as he returned to eating, talking, and spending time with his beloved wives, telling them that soon they shall eight as he later plans to turn and marry Crystallyl Shik'Adammine as she'll become the Eight Daemon Queen, which they'll approved and Jade said bluntly, "Finally babe!!! Took your time, didn't you!!?"
The Gobo Queen's comment made them all laugh hysterically as they loved every moment of them being together again.
