The long-missing Zhong Kai and the Ninth Fleet weren't just sitting there doing nothing. Unbeknownst to everyone, they were engaging in a thrilling, life-or-death battle of wits and courage with the four evil gods in the treacherous subspace!
He first colluded with Jhinki to lead the way, tricked Guilliman into accompanying him, calculated that the Emperor would come to the rescue, found Nurgle, and suppressed him!
He knew that the evil gods could not be killed, but their power could be absorbed and weakened.
Through layers of calculations, he successfully imprisoned the evil god Nurgle, and through the use of the Protoss's cutting-edge technology and high-level psychic power on the Pride of Otalis, he successfully absorbed and continuously purified this negative energy.
Just like what the evil Xel'Naga Amon did back then, imprisoning the Creator Aulus and using him as a "power bank." As long as you are a psychic lifeform and have fallen into weakness, I will have the opportunity to deal with you.
This kind of thing is simply impossible for ordinary races, but for the Protoss, it is possible!
Because the Protoss inherited some of the Xel'Naga's technology and were themselves a race with extremely strong psychic talents. Furthermore, the Pride of Otalis was a masterpiece of the Protoss during their peak period, equipped not only with the Protoss' most advanced technology but also with a large number of high-ranking Templars and a small number of extremely dangerous "Dark Archons" known as "Taboos."
Imprisoned within the deepest recesses of the ship by a stasis field, the Dark Archons are powerful beings capable of toying with souls, manipulating minds, and possessing terrifying psionic powers. With sufficient energy, they can even control the powerful Light Archons and the Zerg Leviathan, forcing them to change sides and become allies. They're truly like the real-life "Otsuamatsuki"!
Such dangerous existences will only be used by the Protoss Supreme Council when the survival of the Protoss race is at stake.
However, using the "Dark Archon" to deal with those subspace entities formed by the emotions and spiritual energy of living beings is simply too easy to use!
That's why Zhong Kai had tried so hard to get the Pride of Otalis from Chang Wei to serve as the flagship of the Ninth Fleet! Because this was the most important step in his plan!
After defeating the evil god Nurgle, Zhong Kai communicated with the Emperor and asked for his assistance.
The emperor agreed.
Then, he continued to collude with Tzeentch and worked together to deal with Khorne. At this time, Tzeentch's admiration for Zhong Kai became stronger and stronger, and he wanted to forcefully invite Zhong Kai and turn him into his own demon prince.
But Zhong Kai was prepared and immediately took advantage of the situation. He then ordered the sacrifice of four high-ranking Templars, combined them into two "Light Archons," and with the help of a "Dark Archon," launched a surprise attack on Tzeentch. However, Tzeentch was so cunning that Zhong Kai's careful planning did not seriously injure him. Instead, he realized he had been deceived and retreated in anger.
After succeeding, Zhong Kai didn't rejoice. He knew he had little time left! The Force was constantly guiding and urging him to act quickly!
Because if Tzeentch and Slaanesh join forces, his ultimate plan will be thwarted!
So, Zhong Kai stopped pretending and immediately led his army to Slaanesh's territory. Taking advantage of the gap before Jian Qi could react, he created a dangerous time difference! Because if Slaanesh was not defeated in a short period of time, he and the Ninth Fleet would be attacked from both sides by the two evil gods! By then, even the Emperor would be unable to save him.
However, to reach the Castle of Pleasure and meet Slaanesh, one must pass the six major tests of Slaanesh's Paradise! Or rather, the six major temptations of human nature.
There was no other way, so Zhong Kai could only ask the Emperor to help him temporarily hold back Tzeentch, so as to buy himself precious time. As for Slaanesh's Daemon Prince and the demon army, it was left to Guilliman, the Ultramarines and the Protoss army to deal with them.
In order to lure out the true evil, Zhong Kai could only hold on to his firm belief and step into the realm that could cause countless people to fall.
The first level, the Ring of Greed!
Those who enter the Ring of Greed will be greeted by an endless supply of riches. These are the things you, deep within your consciousness, hold most precious. Gold, coins, jewels, everywhere, a dizzying sight. Even a merchant as wealthy as a nation cannot resist the allure. Once you sink into it, you will be gradually consumed by greed!
But in Zhong Kai's eyes, he saw the 4090 graphics card, the far-leading Mate60, a B station figure worth 9.8 billion RMB, a one-to-one restoration of Frostmourne, the Tang Dynasty Ming Guang armor, an out-of-print game console, a large number of secular treasures, and raw stone redemption codes, etc.
In the past, these things would have been enough to drive Zhong Kai crazy, but after going through so many things and embarking on the rescue journey of the Extraordinary and the Light Chaser, he had lost his strong desire for these things!
There is nothing to be nostalgic about, just pass the level easily.
The second level, the Taotie Ring!
Simply put, there's an endless supply of fine wine, drinks, and delicious food in front of you, ready for you to enjoy. But no matter how much you eat, drink, or swell up, it can't fill your empty heart! In the end, you can only keep eating while wailing in pain.
Zhong Kai didn't have a strong appetite, so he easily passed the test again. However, he saw someone who surprised him: the long-lost Primarch of the Space Wolves, Leman Russ. At this moment, Leman Russ was immersed in a sea of wine, constantly sipping fine wine, seemingly enjoying it.
He had promised to seek the so-called "Tree of Life" for the Emperor, but instead he had sunk into Slaanesh's paradise. Perhaps he had fallen into Slaanesh's trap? The fact that he had managed to survive this long without being corrupted was truly remarkable. Therefore, Zhong Kai decided to take Leman Russ out after dealing with Slaanesh.
