The aftermath of the The Thirteenth Black Crusade had not yet subsided, and Chaos Warmaster Abaddon's flagship hovered at the edge of The Minor Rift, gazing at this new land of Chaos.
His strategy was not entirely successful; in fact, it could be said to be a colossal failure. Three of the five Daemon Primarchs who participated were lost: Fulgrim was killed in battle, Magnus went missing, and Perturabo was captured.
The Chaos Fleet was severely crippled, with less than one in ten warships remaining. The Blackstone Fortress was shattered into three pieces by the "Master's" "terrifying main cannon," which then crashed onto Cadia. However, Cadia was not destroyed, only a piece was missing. This missing piece caused a small tear in the The Galaxy / Milky Way, creating a "small pizza slice" in the The Galaxy / Milky Way starting from Cadia, which became The Minor Rift.
Although the emergence of The Minor Rift also affected the Imperium of Man, within The Minor Rift itself, there were only two to three human worlds; the rest were Aeldari worlds and the "new neighbors," the Tau, who had just arrived.
(Tau: I just colonized this planet!)
However, the birth of The Minor Rift brought endless opportunities for Chaos Forces. Abaddon turned his gaze from the Imperium of Man to other races in the The Galaxy / Milky Way, seeking new battlefields.
His gaze finally fell upon one of the Aeldari Ark Worlds, Biel-Tan.
Biel-Tan is one of the treasures of Aeldari culture and history, its Infinity Circuit containing the souls of countless deceased.
Abaddon dispatched the Slaanesh messenger, "Slaanesh's Mask," to join forces with Khorne's Bloodthirster, Skarbrand, with the goal of corrupting Biel-Tan's Infinity Circuit and destroying the Ark World's spiritual connection.
On the planet Ursulia, Chaos Forces found the Webway portal to Biel-Tan, the "Obsidian Gate." Ursulia's Warp Storm quickly turned it into a daemon's paradise, with Slaanesh Daemons and Khorne Legions pouring out, sweeping away the remaining population of the maiden world.
Biel-Tan's Aeldari Commander, Meliniel, led a large expedition to Ursulia, hoping to stop the Chaos Forces' invasion.
However, they underestimated the enemy's strength. When Skarbrand shattered the portal with his massive axe, the Chaos Host poured through, breaching Biel-Tan's defenses. Slaanesh's Mask led daemons through the Webway, directly invading Biel-Tan's Core.
Biel-Tan's interior descended into chaos. Slaanesh's Mask used daemonic power to corrupt the Infinity Circuit, and the souls of those Aeldari ancestors were dragged into the abyss, becoming playthings for daemons.
The Phoenix Lord Jain Zar led a squad of Howling Banshees to try and stop Slaanesh's Mask, but the sheer number and power of the daemons forced them to retreat.
At the same time, Skarbrand's Khorne Legions rampaged across Biel-Tan's surface, destroying the Aeldari's defensive fortifications.
Meliniel fought bitterly on the front lines, knowing that Biel-Tan was on the verge of collapse. It was at this desperate moment that a new force arrived on Biel-Tan through the Webway.
Yvraine and her Death God Army followers emerged from the shadows of Commorragh, fighting alongside Biel-Tan's defenders. She brought news of the Aeldari Death God Ynnead, announcing that there was still a glimmer of hope for the Aeldari.
Yvraine displayed her power, exhaling a cold, grey mist when she faced daemons, turning swarms of them to dust.
However, Biel-Tan's defenders were conflicted by the arrival of the Death God Army. They hated these heretics, yet had to admit that Yvraine was the only force capable of turning the tide of battle.
Jain Zar's appearance eased the tension between the two sides. She spoke on behalf of Yvraine's representative, buying precious time for the Death God's High Priestess.
Yvraine began her ritual. She reached her hand into Biel-Tan's Infinity Circuit, as if the Infinity Circuit's defensive resistance simply did not exist. When she withdrew her hand, she held aloft a weapon shimmering with ancient power!
The second old womans sword! This sword was the key to awakening the Death God.
However, this action also triggered the collapse of Biel-Tan's Infinity Circuit. The screams of souls echoed throughout the Ark World, and a deadly psychic backlash formed a terrifying vortex of power.
From the vortex, Ynnead's avatar, the Yncarne, appeared.
The Yncarne's appearance changed the course of the battle. This avatar of the Death God wielded extraordinary power, tearing apart swarms of daemons and even engaging in a fierce battle with Skarbrand. Ultimately, Khorne's Bloodthirster was forced to retreat into the Webway.
Although Biel-Tan's Infinity Circuit was purged of daemons, the Ark World could not be restored. Countless Aeldari souls were destroyed, and the Ark World's physical structure also began to crack.
After the battle, the seers of Ulthwé opened a portal, helping the Death God Army to evacuate from the collapsing Biel-Tan. However, this sacrifice resulted in damage to Ulthwé's Infinity Circuit as well, and the souls of several precious seers were lost forever.
The arrival of the Death God Army saved Biel-Tan, but also ignited new conflicts. The rift between the Death God's worshippers and traditionalists within the Aeldari deepened.
Nevertheless, the victory at Biel-Tan ignited a glimmer of hope for the Aeldari and laid the foundation for Yvraine's rise.
As Biel-Tan gradually rebuilt from the ruins, the storms in the The Galaxy / Milky Way intensified. Abaddon's failure did not stop the expansion of Chaos Forces, and the rise of the Death God Army brought a new direction for the Aeldari.
On the ruins of Biel-Tan, Yvraine held aloft the old womans sword, declaring that the Aeldari would not succumb to fate. The avatar of the Death God stood beside her, as if the Death God itself was gazing into the future.
The story of this battle will forever be etched in the history of the Aeldari, a symbol of the convergence of fate and souls.
Yvraine's figure passed through the Webway, glowing with a faint blue light, with the surrounding Death God Army following closely, protecting the Death God's High Priestess.
The ruins of Biel-Tan gradually faded behind them, but her gaze never looked back, as if the past suffering had been completely sealed in her heart. She now had a more important mission.
To expand the Death God Army's strength and liberate the Aeldari from the fate of destruction.
At the end of the Webway, the chaos and splendor of Commorragh appeared before her. This city of the Aeldari's dark brethren was hidden in the shadows of the Webway, filled with depravity and betrayal.
Commorragh was not a place she wished to tread, but at this moment, this dark city was a crucial part of her plan.
Yvraine led the Death God Army through the Webway; she now needed to recruit for her Death God Army, and she remembered her engagement with the Imperium of Man's Thirteenth Primarch, Guilliman. She could sense that the moment was approaching, so she brought the Death God Army to Commorragh.
