Warhammer 40K:Adeptus Custodes from Another World(EN version)

It is the 42nd Millennium. For more than a hundred centuries The Emperor has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is the Master of Mankind by the will of the gods, and master of a million worlds by the might of his inexhaustible armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. He is the Carrion Lord of the Imperium for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day, so that he may never truly die.

Yet even in his deathless state, the Emperor continues his eternal vigilance. Mighty battlefleets cross the daemon-infested miasma of the Warp, the only route between distant stars, their way lit by the Astronomican, the psychic manifestation of the Emperor's will. Vast armies give battle in his name on uncounted worlds. The best soldier among them is Adeptus Custodes, Legio of Ten Thousand. Formed before Unification War happen, Adeptus Custodes only have one duty for become Emperor of Mankind Bodyguard.

To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruelest and most bloody regime imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be re-learned. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only war. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods.

Who...?" In my dream i saw a knight with black hair adorned with a headpiece resembling a crown of leaves. The knight wore golden armor, with a large claw weapon on his left hand. He donned a golden cloak, and his right hand held a large flaming sword. The knight was facing off against four creatures that looked quite terrifying.

"Demon Lord?" I said while looking at the four figures. "Who's there?" the knight asked me. Immediately, I released lightning from my hand to attack the four Demon Lords. I could feel the area trying to give me extra strength so that the lightning I shot from my hand would become stronger, but I could resist that power.

"Who are you? How can you use Warp magic?" asked one of the Daemon Lords, the blue one. I could see the blue Demon Lord sitting in a meditative pose. From the head of the Daemon Lord, several holes were positioned above his forehead. The Daemon Lord's eyes were on its hands, and it had a mouth with sharp teeth on its stomach. The Demon Lord had four hands, with the two hands that had eyes positioned below, staring at the knight, while one eye was looking at me.

"It seems we have another guest here..." said one of the Daemon Lords, the green one, with a deep, ancient-sounding voice. This Demon Lord had a very fat body and a long tongue that hung down. The skin of this Demon Lord was covered in red welts, and it appeared as though his large, fat body was split at the chest, giving the impression that he was wearing a jacket. I understood that this was still part of the Demon Lord's body, and the Daemon Lord itself emitted a very pungent stench. As an Immortal, I could hold my breath for a long time, but an ordinary human would easily become nauseous or even die.

"Anathema... your friend here is quite interesting," said the green Daemon Lord, directing his words to the knight.

"I came here alone to hold back your forces from entering Holy Terra," said the golden knight, pointing his flaming sword at the green Demon Lord.

"This seems very interesting... attack forces!" commanded the red Demon Lord in black armor. Suddenly, a multitude of red demons appeared, each wielding a red sword, their tongues lolling out. The red demons had goat-like legs, thick scaly skin, and sharp claws. One turned toward me, its horrifying face adorned with two dark red horns. Holding a large sword, the demon opened its mouth, displaying a long, protruding tongue.

With swift resolve, I drew the sword that forever rests upon my back. The crimson daemon lunged forward with unholy speed, leaping to strike. Trained reflexes honed through countless battles guided me; I evaded the daemon's assault with a deft movement and struck with righteous fury. The daemon I cleaved vanished instantly, leaving no trace of its foul existence.

Another crimson daemon, witnessing its companion easily felled by my blade, charged forward to attack. Yet, with practiced ease, I dodged and cleaved through its vile form, dispatching it as effortlessly as the first.

"Fascinating technique, even quite aesthetically pleasing. I can sense a profound artistry in every move and strike," spoke the purple-hued Daemon Lord. I beheld the figure of the purple Daemon Lord, a woman with eyes of violet that sent shivers down my spine. I could feel that this female Daemon Lord had consumed many souls.

"Quite intriguing, the swordsmanship is highly efficient and remarkably accurate... Anathema, your companion is quite intriguing," remarked the red-hued Daemon Lord clad in gleaming black armor. "If he is one of your subordinates clad in the golden armor who always accompanies you when you commence battle, you should be proud," continued the Daemon Lord.

"Seems quite intriguing if he were to join our game, Anathema," said the blue Daemon Lord. "I can sense for myself that this individual possesses strength equal to yours; in fact, I sense that he is much like you, a perpetual," continued the blue Daemon Lord.

In an instant, all the Daemon Lords vanished, leaving the knight alone, with only me accompanying the golden-clad warrior. I could sense a potent aura emanating from the knight. His eyes emitted golden light, and I could feel the knight's power growing significantly with each passing moment.

"Who are you? How can you enter the Warp?" I heard a voice within my mind. I observed that the knight did not move his lips at all, yet his words resonated directly within my mind.

"My name is Dante... Dante Uchiha. I am an immortal who journeys through various dimensions," I replied, my tone slightly cautious.

"Other dimensions? I thought that was merely an old hypothesis, just a rumor. My name is the Emperor of Mankind. I am the Emperor of the Imperium of Mankind," said the Emperor. "Those you attacked earlier were Chaos Gods, and now we are in the Warp," the Emperor continued.

"Warp?" I asked, confused. I could sense that time had a vastly different effect than usual in the location where the Emperor of Mankind and I currently resided.

"Warp is a reflection of the physical world; it's a rather strange place," the Emperor said, his words echoing directly into my mind. "All emotions, all thoughts, both conscious and unconscious, find their way into this place... even the souls of the deceased reside here. Fortunately, the four Chaos Gods did not drag you into their Chaos Realm, and I also sense that the psychic techniques you employing are not bound by this exact location. How is that possible?" the Emperor continued.

"It seems we indeed need to meet face to face. I typically conduct astral projection to the worlds I explore, and I require more accurate data," I said to the Emperor.

"In that case, we shall meet again... sooner or later," said the Emperor, his voice resonating within my mind. Suddenly, I woke up to the sound of an alarm and swiftly got up to start the day.
