In the World of Sword and Magic as Space Marine

Chapter 149: You are Nothing



Chapter 149: You are Nothing

The Emperor: "It is my dream. An Imperium of Man that exist without recourse to gods and the supernatural. A united galaxy with Terra at its heart. These warriors shall be my generals and they will lead my great crusade to the furthest corners of the galaxy."

Uriah: "Didn't you just tell me of the bloody slaughters perpetrated by crusaders? Doesn't that make you no better than the holy men you were telling me about?"

The Emperor: "The difference is that I am right."

Uriah: "Spoken like a true autocrat."

The beam of the concentrated lascannon fires as William's aim is true. Instead of aiming for one of the remaining heads, the beam hit the front right leg of the Dragon Queen. The massive heat equivalent of the temperature of the sun cut through the scales even though Tiamat should be immune to the burning damage.

The damage didn't stop at the scale as the beam pierced through the meat and bone of the Dragon Queen. The damage is so grievous that it nearly cut the right front leg in half and hit the rear leg by inches. This kind of damage doesn't happen even if the weapon is highly efficient. It is as if the weapon itself was a blessed weapon, making William's lascannon a holy weapon.

The Dragon Queen screams in pain and is unable to process what just happened. A major damage was done to her and for the first time in many years, the was part is that the damage was done by the mortal.

"I will spill your bloodline until the end of the ages!" Tiamat screamed in pain and cursed out but it was too late as William proceeded to teleport himself in front of the other front leg and slice it off clean with his Black Teamplar's Blacksword.

Combined with the Terminator armor's strength and legendary Blacksword of the Black Templar made up for the devastating cut through the dragon's front leg. The moment the realization hit, the sound of lascannon hitting the ground can be heard and immediately, the huge sound of a massive leg falling off from the Tiamat can be heard.

"No, you will not." Said William and proceed to disappear from where he stood as he simply vanished like a wind.

"I'm a GOD! Show yourself and face your judgment like a mortal you are!" Tiamat cried with mixed emotions of pain and rage but it was a hopeless action. Her magic spells are useless and her breath weapons are now mostly expended due to overuse in a short time. Just as Tiamat repositioned herself to balance herself using her tail, the pain once again came and this time, the entire right side of the wing section was severed. One of Tiamat's head turns around to see William once again, his sword dripping with blood and standing where her main body and wing used to connect.

"If you are a god, what does that make me? A Slayer of the Gods?" The mechanical vox voice coming out from William's terminator armor gave off a cold emotionless and chilling presence towards the Dragon Queen.

Standing on top of her back, the mortal knight was no more. This thing, facing the Tiamat isn't some mortal seeking glory or a path of justice like her brother's champions before. This thing is a predator and it is staring at its prey.

"You are NOTHING!" Tiamat with all her will and might fight back the urge to flee. She has her pride and reputation, even if it's close to nothing but she is still a goddess and there is nothing more humiliating than losing a reputation for the deity. Tiamat slammed her body into one side of the mountain, attempting to crush the mortal knight but it was pointless gesture as William simply disappeared once again.

With nothing to support her weight in the front, the Tiamat lost her balance after slamming the mountainside. Injured front legs didn't help as their blood-soaked stomps gave unimaginable pain and eventually, she dropped to the ground forward. It was at this moment William reappeared in front of her with black sword held with two hands.

"I'm indeed nothing but I'm also William Nullinanis, Lord Imperator Fratrum (Commander of the Brother) and Chapter Master of the Legion of Blacksouls. You will die by my hands." Hearing William's declaration, Tiamat attacks him with the remaining heads in a last resort to fight back.

In one instance, William moves forward to cut down the first head by deflecting the mouth up using a black sword and swinging downward to cut the neck horizontally. The first head went down clean as it was looking up towards the sky as if someone was watching over the entire event.

The second head, went down right after the first one as the last remaining head came down with mouth open, and to Tiamat's surprise, William pushed on inside of her mouth. William didn't stop as he continued to push on and as his massive terminator armor maintained its weight, something else began to break everything inside of the mouth. Teeth begin to shatter and any flesh that is attached to Tiamat starts to shred like a meat blender.

Equipped with new war gear, William pushed towards the back of the mouth using assault drills attached to his terminator armor. Originally designed to breach the walls and any natural obstacles, the assault drills are meant for Centurions but with William's massive size, his terminator armor fits perfectly with new siege equipment.

Soon, William breached the back of the head as its weight held the Dragon Queen from lifting its head. With all heads destroyed or near death, William switches his right-hand war gear back to his black sword and approaches his objective. The chest of the Dragon Queen where her main heart is located.

[No, please. You are the victor. You have shown that you are powerful beyond any mortals. Isn't that enough?] The voice of the Tiamat echoes through the minds of all on the battlefield and there is no question of who has spoken.

"No," William's left hand struck the chest of the massive dragon deity. The drill soon breached the scale and was fresh. No mercy was given as William broke the bones protecting the main heart and soon, in front of him the massive heart was exposed. With no hesitation or even the victor's remark, William activates his blacksword's power generator, covering it with an energy field and stabs the massive heart.

Blood gushes everywhere like a tide and covers William from top to bottom. If William was servant of the Khorn, William would be the new champion of the Blood God as Khorn's swimming pool will be filled with the blood of the god.

After the flood of blood calmed down, William pulled out his sword and took a step aside. Pulling out a small box the size of his two hands together from his inventory, William pulled the pin and placed a box inside of the heart. After stepping out from the chest of the Dragon Queen, a box full of plasma grenades detonate and the power of the miniature sun engulfs the main body of the Tiamat. Soon, everything from the attached tattered head to tail turned into ashes as nothing even the hardened bones couldn't survive the plasma explosion.

"It is done! You hear me gods of this world? I have accomplished the task you assigned to me in exchange for getting off this planet!" William declares his victory and demands acknowledgment that his task is done. With the death of Tiamat, William's forces can now leave the New World as they should be able to leave the planet freely.

"I'm sure they know, mortal. After all, they are gods." The Lord of the Sixth, Archdevil Glasya said as she floated in the air where the mountain used to be before Tiamat slammed her back during the fight. Princess of Hell continues.

"It's been somewhat entertaining but why leave so soon? Gods may have promised to let you go but I find you and your followers interesting. How about you stay here and serve me as my champion? I'm sure you will find it beneficial for both parties."

"Your offer has been heard and I refuse. This is not the first time I heard a situation where position of power was offered by the so-called devil." Said William. Knowing full well what happened to those who made contact with the power of evil and chaos.

"You don't seem to understand what I'm offering here. I'm giving you a power that could match the gods!" The Lord of the Sixth said as if she was insulted by the insect.

"Are you blind? I just killed the god and you are offering what I already possess? You are not good with job offers aren't you?" William places his drill and sword back into his inventory, replacing them with a fully loaded bolter.

"The show is done. Leave now and no grudge will be made." William gave an ultimatum to the Lord of the Sixth as he switched his bolter from safe to semi. Glasya remains silent for a few moments before showing an emotion of distaste as if she has bitten a sour fruit. The Lord of Sixth finally spoke after her facial expression returned to normal.

"You know I could force you to serve me. I'm being generous at this moment as you entertained me with a bitch's death."

"You could try but I will not go as easy as you think."

The conversation stopped as two powerful beings of their right stared at each other from a short distance. Soon, Glasya flinched her right eye as if this became a troublesome and unnecessary iteration.

"Fine, you will have your day for now. You can tell your dogs to stand down." Lord of the Sixth said and immediately William's honor guards appeared from the shadows with their weapons pointing at the floating daemon.

"Wise decision." William signals his men to stand down and magnetize the bolter into his hip. In the blink of an eye, The Archdevil of the Sixth Hells vanished as if she was never there. With all adversaries gone or defeated, William officially completes his task. William's job isn't over as injured ones have to be taken care of and the dead must be placed on an eternal path to Golden Throne where heroes will be welcomed.

'Time to organize and make preparations. It is time to go to the world of Warhammer.'

Glasya flew a few miles away at high speed as she needed to escape the presence of nothingness. Twice she attempts to cast a spell to demonstrate her power and twice it failed. Thankfully, her wings were out and only thing that maintain her levitation in the air but that was the only thing she could do as after she appeared in the mortal world, she couldn't do shit.

'That was a close one. Who knew a mere mortal could block access to mana and magic spells? No wonder that dragon slut couldn't do anything at all.' Princess of Hell thought to herself as she experienced a powerless first time in her life. To be weak and defenseless is something she can't tolerate as power is everything in Nine Hells.

After getting far enough from the strange mortal knights, Glasya once again feels her power returning to her. With no hesitation, she cast one of the powerful spells she originally was going to use against a knight called William.

In the blink of an eye, a large section of the forest burned with black fire. A second later, a large circle is formed with nothing but ashes in the middle of the forest.

"That's more like it." Satisfied of her power return to her, she cast a return spell. Returning to her realm and where her toys of damned mortals await.
