Stars for the good Warhammer.

Chapter 56: The will born among the stars (please read it!!)
  Am I already dead?

In a daze, when Mardo's consciousness woke up again, this was the first question that came to his mind.

He remembered that he was pushed off the altar by the monster called the Sculptor, and something pierced his body, and then
  As the memories continued to flash, Mardo felt the pain in his body disappear, and his body seemed to become extremely light at this moment.

where am i
  With such confusion, Mardo gradually opened his eyes.

However, when he saw the scenery in front of him, an indescribable shock instantly filled his heart.

I saw that I was actually in a dilapidated temple, sitting on a bench in the hall, like a devout believer who came to pray.

As he looked around, what surprised Mardo was that there were three other figures in this dilapidated building.

One of them wore the uniform of a Cadian soldier and looked like a commander, while the other, an older man, was well-dressed and looked like an Imperial nobleman living in the upper nest.

As for the third person, she was a young and beautiful woman. Mardo was surprised that he actually knew her. They had met on the Wind Sword.

If I remember correctly, the woman's name should be Raya, and she was Lord Otto's adjutant.

Strangely, everyone seemed completely indifferent to their presence.

Soon, Mardo stood up from his seat. At this time, he was full of curiosity about the strange building in front of him.

On the dilapidated walls, he saw vines crawling and growing, and in the center of the temple, there was a blue crystal spire piercing the dome.

Several red skulls were hung like wind chimes on the beams at the entrance, and the silk wrapping the columns on both sides revealed luxury.

Mardo could vaguely feel that these intruders seemed to be interested in the dilapidated building itself, or something hidden in it.

Through the broken colored windows, the entire building, including its own courtyard, is like a broken floating island, floating in this ethereal space.

Above the island, Mardo saw a turbid sun following closely.

Such a wonderful scene made him feel very confused. He didn't understand what kind of place it was.
  While thinking, he once again set his sights on Raya sitting on the bench.

Since she is here, will Lord Otto be here too?
  With such a mood, Mardo once again observed the strange building in front of him, and his eyes gradually wandered away.

Soon, he discovered a striking presence at the top of the temple.

It was a pearl that exuded silvery white light, and was like a star with dim light. The moment he saw it, Mardo's eyes were deeply attracted to it.

As his vision gradually condensed, through this small ball of light, Mardo seemed to see endless stars!
  What is contained within this small star is such a vast and beautiful world!
  And then, hope and destruction, exploration and conquest, development and creation.

A large number of conflicting emotions and images also poured into his heart.

Mardo didn't know what it was, but there was a voice in the dark that was telling him.

This weak star does not seem to belong here, and some more powerful force imprisons it here.

The light of stardust is still very weak, but one day, its power will finally start a prairie fire!

In a trance, with the yearning in my heart.

Mardo slowly raised his hand, trying to touch the bright stardust.

Then he saw the star twinkling, shining its own weak light on him.

The stars responded!

  I don’t know how long it took, when Mardo opened his eyes again.

The surroundings once again switched back to the scenes he was familiar with.

Looking up, he saw the man who called himself the sculptor slowly walked down the altar made of flesh and blood behind him. He saw countless bullets fired at the big man, the veteran and the psyker, slowly flying past his eyes, everything was so slow...

Intuition told Mardo that those people could not hold on for much longer.

And now, the person who can save them.

only myself
  Thinking of this, he could feel that his body was filled with strength again, and with full of anger, after enduring the huge pain and forcibly pulling out the foreign object piercing his right abdomen, Mal stood up again. Duo once again rushed towards the sculptor's position.

For a moment, he saw surprise in the other person's eyes. During this period, some cultists tried to stop his progress, but Mardo just ignored the existence of those insects.

At this moment, he only had eyes for the sculptor.

Only him! Only kill him! Only then can this farce be truly ended!

The moment he raised his hand, Mardo raised the rusty long knife again, which attracted the sculptor's attention.

Under the playful eyes of the other party, Maldo, who used all his strength, raised the long knife in his hand high above his head.

However, just as he was about to get close, a huge impact threw him down the steps again.

It seemed to be the subspace power pouring out of the sculptor's body. When Mardo got up with difficulty again, he heard the monster speak again in a voice full of joy.

"No matter what tricks you use, you can never stop the ritual from happening."

"This planet, and all the souls in it, will be enshrined to the Prince of Joy! Including you!"

"But before that, you can try to please me as much as you want until I get rid of this ugly body."

Listening to the other party's disgusting laughter, Mardo did not choose to give up, after re-gripping the ripper in his hand.

Mardo ignored the pain on his body and rushed towards the altar for the third time!

And the monster wanted to use the same method to stop it, but when the power from the depths of his soul burst out in his body again.

The sculptor was surprised to find that this move had no effect on Mardo for some reason.

In a daze, he saw a dazzling light like stars shining in the hands of the believer. In just a blink of an eye, the guy named Mardo had already arrived in front of him.

In the brief flash of panic in the sculptor's eyes, Mardo shouted out the pious prayer hidden in his heart.

"For the Emperor!"

……

"For the stars!"

Immediately, he raised the knife and dropped it.
