Warhammer: Lord of the Endless Monster Horde

The other-dimensional world had indeed sealed the Chaos Godshard, but the intensity of its power exceeded imagination.

Rhodes stared at the Chaos Godshard pulsating wildly in the center of the other-dimensional space, like a malformed heart pumping Warp energy in all directions.

The spatial barriers began to show web-like cracks, some corrosion beyond physical laws spreading.

Yapool spoke, "Master, we must create an energy vent for it—"

If they didn't find a way to vent this terrifying chaotic energy, the greatest possibility was that it would thoroughly destroy the other-dimensional world he and his master had painstakingly built.

"Master! I can try opening a link to the Warp here; we can vent this terrifying energy into the Warp." At some point, Tartarus had also entered the other-dimensional world, helping Rhodes stabilize the Chaos Godshard.

In the current situation, there was a very safe method: open a portal linked to the Warp in the other-dimensional world and input the terrifying Warp energy into it.

"No, doing that would link the other-dimensional world to the Warp, which is something I absolutely cannot allow." Rhodes immediately shook his head.

What a joke; the current other-dimensional world is only about the size of two star systems, with a range not even ten light-years.

If this small fry is exposed to the Warp's view, the Chaos Gods would immediately discover it. Then, using the Chaos Godshard's connection, they might smuggle over, and he'd essentially be handing the other-dimensional world to them for free.

"But Master, if we don't do this, the other-dimensional world won't hold. At most, in another minute, this world will completely collapse." Tartarus said.

No choice; this is the worst option, but also the best, because there's no second solution!

If the other-dimensional world collapses now, their emergence point would still be near Holy Terra, at most not exceeding ten light-years.

Because this other-dimensional world is only two star systems in size, range not over 10 light-years, and it's centered on where the master entered, so upon returning to the real universe.

They'd appear at most within 10 light-years of Holy Terra, no farther.

That distance is still within the Chaos Godshard's influence; at that point, the entire Holy Terra would still be affected!

It might even cause a more violent explosion due to the Warp energy riot destroying the other-dimensional world, potentially creating a new Eye of Terror centered on Holy Terra. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel·fire·net

"Hold on; perhaps we have another way." Rhodes said.

Rhodes directly injected the raging chaotic Warp energy into the system.

The system's recharge coins had always been marvelous; any lifeform, whether tangible objects or intangible Warp beings, could count as system recharge currency.

And the energy contained in a Chaos God's godshard was unimaginable to ordinary people; this energy could easily create greater daemons, daemon princes, and endless Chaos daemon armies.

In that case, could injecting this energy directly into the system convert it into system coins?

The divine power in the Chaos Godshard is different from ordinary Warp energy; it's the power of a Warp god, capable of directly birthing Chaos daemons.

Rhodes's guess this time was spot on; the system immediately reacted upon contact with the terrifying chaotic divine power, beginning to absorb this chaotic divine power.

["High-quality energy detected; converting to advanced system resources. Beginning recharge of system crystals." ]

The system's prompt sounded in Rhodes's mind.

This voice left Rhodes a bit stunned.

System crystals!

What the hell is this? He had been in the Warhammer universe for decades!

The currency he had acquired had always been system recharge coins; everything was purchased with system recharge coins. But what is this system crystal?

And it showed as advanced currency!

The system didn't explain Rhodes's question but entered recharge mode, continuously drawing power from the Chaos Godshard.

The chaotic divine power inside was like encountering a pump, being frantically extracted. The pressure on the other-dimensional world immediately lessened.

The violent spatial shaking, the other-dimensional world on the verge of collapse, suddenly stabilized.

Rhodes curiously checked the system crystal's description: System crystals are the highest-level currency in the entire system, requiring extremely pure divine power crystals to extract and recharge.

This is used to exchange for the highest-level store items and highest-level store enhancement upgrades.

Upgrading the highest-level system, monster store, and enhancement store also requires this system crystal.

This is the system's highest level; its currency value far exceeds ordinary system metal coins. After seeing this description, Rhodes suddenly understood!

Oh man! So that's what it is?

The system hid this deep; if he hadn't tried injecting the Chaos Godshard's power into the system this time, who knows when he would have discovered it!

Turns out, besides system recharge coins, there's an advanced currency called system crystals, and upgrading the top-tier monster store and enhancement store requires this stuff.

"Master! It seems you've found a way."

Yapool and Tartarus both sighed in relief, coming to Rhodes and asking.

They hadn't expected the sudden crisis to be resolved by their master in this manner.

"Yeah! I found a new way. This Chaos Godshard is actually a new recharge item for the system; it can recharge the highest-level system crystals." Rhodes said.

No wonder, with enough system coins saved up, he still couldn't upgrade the highest-level monster store. Turns out, he was missing these system crystals, but the damn thing never prompted about them!

It only appeared after he discovered the recharge item!

"This is good news, Master. You can finally fully utilize the system store's power; you'll acquire even stronger monsters." Tartarus said.

"Indeed as you say. And if this Chaos Godshard is some kind of recharge item, then there are three more like it—or rather, four." Rhodes's lips curled into a playful smile.

This Chaos Godshard was extracted from Aisha, and there are three other Chaos Gods, meaning three more recharge items.

And there's also that half-immortal Vashtor, who will soon ascend to a Chaos God; then the rechargeable items become four.

"Congratulations, Master, but I must correct you: there are three now, and two potential ones in the future, like the one on the Golden Throne." Tartarus came to Rhodes and said.

The Dark King within the human Emperor is also at the Chaos God level, and even stronger than the four Chaos Gods!

If Rhodes can eliminate that Chaos Godshard, then theoretically, the Dark King's godshard can also be eliminated.

The human Emperor would certainly approve with both hands and feet; the human Emperor has always been trying to escape the Dark King's threat and corruption. He doesn't want to become the Dark King.

"Master, and don't forget the Tyranid Hive Mind, the Great Devourer; I think that big guy can also provide you with system crystals."

At this point, Yapool standing aside spoke up.

Can't let this golden flashy guy take all the credit; he had to contribute too. What you said is correct, but you missed the Tyranid Great Devourer!

"You're right! The Tyranid Great Devourer can definitely provide system crystals." Rhodes nodded in strong agreement.

No need to say how strong the Great Devourer's power is; its psychic might is no weaker than the four Chaos.

And the Great Devourer's attitude is much more arrogant; upon arriving in the galaxy and discovering Chaos daemons competing for food, it immediately organized a Kronos fleet and went head-to-head with the Chaos, hunting daemons everywhere.

Even if some things changed due to his appearance, this fleet still emerged, just that while dealing with Chaos daemons, it also targets Rhodes's gene offspring and human Space Marines.

"You two are right; by this count, there are at least six guys in the galaxy that can serve as our recharge data items!" Rhodes nodded very satisfiedly.

…

Rhodes was chatting animatedly with his two subordinates in the other-dimensional space, while outside, the Emperor was a bit anxious.

Rhodes had taken the Chaos Godshard away for several hours, but there was no sign of activity; he didn't know what the situation was.

"Father, rest assured; I've been closely monitoring the entire solar system's periphery, and no Warp anomalies have been detected.

Our world won't be invaded by Chaos daemons." Guilliman was the first to approach the Emperor's Golden Throne and said.

After the Chaos Godshard was stripped, the entire Holy Terra entered the highest alert state; Guilliman had even run simulations for the worst outcomes!

None of the backup plans were needed; Rhodes had successfully taken the Chaos Godshard away from Holy Terra. The barrier between the real universe and the Warp wasn't broken; the four Chaos Gods could only stare helplessly.

"I know; maintain the highest vigilance. I think Rhodes might need some time to handle the Chaos Godshard; don't disturb him for now." The Emperor said.

In the first moment the Chaos Godshard was stripped, he sensed the terrifying energy within!

If this terrifying energy erupted, it could swallow all planets within 100 light-years into the Warp; Holy Terra would become theoretically the second Eye of Terror.

Now that Rhodes had taken the Chaos Godshard away, all he needed to do was wait silently.

…

Time passed in a flash; seven full days went by. The outside was calm, with no signs of Chaos corruption on Holy Terra; even Guilliman began asking the Emperor.

Whether to downgrade the highest alert, since ordinary citizens weren't even allowed to leave their homes, and the Custodes were patrolling the streets outside the palace.

"Downgrade the special alert to level 1; have all Custodes withdraw to the palace first. As for the palace perimeter, let the Space Marines patrol!" The Emperor thought for a moment and said.

…

Meanwhile, in the other-dimensional world, Rhodes had successfully extracted every last bit of power from the Chaos Godshard.

Recharge complete!

This time, Rhodes obtained a full 200 system crystals and 2 billion system coins.

The value of the Chaos Godshard far exceeded his imagination; this was a massive windfall!

Upgrading the highest-level system store requires 1 billion system coins and 100 system crystals, while the highest-level enhancement store

requires 2 billion system coins and 200 system crystals.

The system enhancement store has better effects; the monster store only draws monsters, but the enhancement store is the most useful for Rhodes. The reason his great monsters can rampage through the Warhammer universe

and truly secure his footing is because of the monster enhancement system. Otherwise, just summoning monsters without enhancements would greatly reduce Rhodes's combat power.

"Master, you've finally gathered the system coins for the highest-level store. I suggest you do a 100-draw first to get a top-tier monster." Tartarus said.

Although the master now has the Angel Zog, himself as an ultimate lifeform, and the Alien Empera, they are only ultimate monsters.

True top-tier monsters are multiversal level; they can even affect other worlds.

"Yeah! I'll try it now." Rhodes nodded and directly spent 1 billion system coins.

He performed a 100-draw on the highest-level system store. A single draw in the highest-level system store costs 10 million system coins.

The highest-level system store no longer has category options when drawing monsters, because there are only a few top-tier monsters!

And these top-tier monsters, without exception, are all unique; the system store can only summon them once, and after summoning, they permanently disappear.

A burst of golden light erupted from the system store, manifesting fragments of various monsters.

In this 100-draw, the fragments of a pitch-black humanoid monster totaled 10!

At the same time, Rhodes obtained a rare system gift chest.
