"Did that Bean Sprout Seer really say that?" In Alex's living room, Mai Mai asked Alex while chugging a can of cola.
Alex had just informed everyone of Vallis's divination results, and everyone was somewhat surprised by them.
"If this divination result is true, then things are pretty much as we deduced before; it's all those two Khorne Demon Princes causing trouble," Gutierrez analyzed the current situation, then asked the others, "So, what should we do next?"
Alex looked at his friends, thought for a moment, and said, "According to the prophecy, you will encounter Muswag, then cooperate with him, ultimately leading to a duel between the two Daemon Princes.
And it looks like Tzanazte will successfully reincarnate, at which point two Daemon Princes will appear simultaneously in the Star Sector Capital, which is not a good thing."
A Daemon Prince might not cause an entire planet to fall just by appearing, like a Greater Daemon, but there is no doubt that in the Chaos faction, a Daemon Prince is an existence on the same level as a Chaos Greater Daemon.
However, Greater Daemons are native species of the Warp, essentially more akin to avatars or fragments of the Four Chaos Gods.
Their power comes from the Four Chaos Gods, and the Four Chaos Gods can reclaim their power at any time.
In fact, if the Four Chaos Gods wished, they could easily kill a Greater Daemon.
But even if the Four Chaos Gods can easily create a new Greater Daemon, it is very difficult to obtain a powerful and high-quality Greater Daemon.
The most representative example is undoubtedly Khorne; ever since Skarbrand was incited by Tzeentch, ambushed Khorne with an axe from behind, and then chickened out, being driven out of the Blood God's domain by Khorne, Khorne has not had any particularly useful Greater Daemons under him.
This is also why jokes about Khorne coveting The Great Angel and wanting to drain the gacha pool started circulating.
After all, honestly speaking, the pure holy essence, comparable to the Butcher's Nails wetware, simply cannot compare to the Primarchs obtained by the other three Four Chaos Gods.
In fact, even this thing was forced upon Khorne by others, rather than something Khorne desired himself.
Also, because Khorne's primary preference is for warriors, most of the Daemon Princes under Khorne are master killers, without many outstanding abilities.
And the only one who seems capable, Khârn, for various reasons, can only remain a Khorne Champion and cannot ascend to become a Daemon Prince.
A Daemon Prince is a process by which ordinary mortals, by pleasing the Four Chaos Gods, receive their blessings, ascending from a mere mortal to an immortal Warp creature.
Generally speaking, as long as your actions align with the respective domains represented by the Four Chaos Gods, and you offer enough sacrifices to please the Four Chaos Gods, you can receive blessings and become an immortal Daemon Prince.
However, for various reasons, Typhus, Ahriman, Lucius, and Khârn, these four chosen champions of the Four Chaos Gods, can never ascend to become Daemon Princes.
No matter how many deeds they accomplish for the Four Chaos Gods, or how many worlds and beings they sacrifice, they will always be confined to the position of chosen champion, unable to ascend to become a Daemon Prince.
But I digress, back to the main topic.
If a Daemon Prince truly descends upon a planet, and no force can stop him, then the fate of that planet will be incredibly tragic.
All living beings will be slaughtered, their souls sacrificed to the Four Chaos Gods, becoming a feast for the Ruinous Powers.
Even more terrifying, under the continuous erosion of Chaos energy, even the planet itself will gradually be swallowed by the Warp.
And if two Daemon Princes descend simultaneously… then the situation becomes even more desperate!
Unless these two Daemon Princes happen to belong to different factions, for example, one is Khorne's favorite, and the other is Nurgle's messenger, and they also have irreconcilable conflicts, then perhaps the living beings on the planet might get a moment of respite.
Otherwise, two Daemon Princes working together are enough to completely destroy a prosperous Imperial World in a short time.
Their destructive power is not simply one plus one equals two, but rather increases exponentially.
One must know that the reason these Daemon Princes are able to gain the favor of the Ruinous Powers and ascend is built upon countless piles of bones.
Taking the bloodthirsty Khorne as an example, to gain the approval of the Blood God, you must prove your worth with endless slaughter.
If you cannot personally chop off the heads of tens of billions of beings on a planet and stain the entire land with blood, you don't even have the qualifications to be looked at by Khorne.
Although everyone says the Blood God is "generous"—as long as you kill fiercely and ruthlessly enough, he will bestow blessings whether you want them or not.
But to ascend to a true Daemon Prince, a mere few million lives are far from enough; destroying a planet is merely the most basic "pledge of allegiance."
Fortunately, the two Daemon Princes Alex and his group have to deal with are just two minor Daemon Princes, and both are in incomplete states and are hostile to each other, so solving them won't be as troublesome.
"Then which one do we choose? According to the prophecy, the one Alex chooses will eliminate the other." 32 looked at Alex, asking him what he planned to do.
Of the two Daemon Princes, one has already lost its physical form and most of its power in the real world, leaving only a Demon Tooth, but is actively seeking reincarnation.
Once the reincarnation succeeds, even if the opponent cannot exert the combat power a Daemon Prince should have, he will certainly not be an easy enemy to deal with.
The other is relatively complete, maintaining a complete material form while also retaining most of a Daemon Prince's power.
And when one of them kills the other, the one who survives will reclaim his power and return to Khorne's domain, regaining the power a complete Daemon Prince should possess.
Although the prophecy showed that Alex ultimately successfully resolved all problems, it did not mention any losses or costs.
No one could guarantee that after finally resolving all problems, the Mariupol Sector Capital would not suffer huge losses.
Therefore, how to choose a cooperation partner is a matter that requires very careful consideration.
However, Alex had already made a decision regarding this question.
"Choose Muswag; he has been cursed by Khorne, and anyone killed directly or indirectly because of him will lead to his failure," Alex stated his decision. "This is also the premise for cooperating with him. Prepare one or two mortals. If he doesn't agree to cooperate or intends to play tricks, just kill someone directly."
