As the mechanical demon fell, its form changed once again.
He plunged the Butcher's Spike into the ground, and in the next second, countless gigantic Butcher's Spike cables burst forth from the ground of the entire arena, transforming into countless giant tentacles that frantically stabbed towards Angron!
Clang!
But just before the closest mechanical tentacle was about to hit Angron, Liu Bei cleanly and decisively cut it down in mid-air with his twin swords.
"This guy is actually pretty nice; he even started a full-map raid at the end to give everyone a sense of participation."
Sun Qian also joined in cutting off the tentacles. Looking at the hellish scene around him, which resembled a Cthulhu mythos, he was not nervous at all, but rather even more pleased.
"Let's all attack together! These should all be that guy's true form. We don't know if it feels pain, but it's time to give this newborn demon a taste of the real world!"
In fact, Sun Qian didn't even need to remind them; all the Devourer warriors had already thrown themselves into battle, venting their vengeful fury on these evil machines that had tormented their legion and their fathers for years.
According to Sun Qian's guess, what they had just fought was probably just a terminal created by this demon. Its real body had always been hiding deep underground, existing as the foundation of this network that connects all the Butcher's Nails hosts.
It has to be said that this is very much in line with the style of this demon: extremely cautious, timid, unwilling to take risks, and taking efficiency and stability as the premise of all calculations.
But it was very effective.
In this situation, even if Sun Qian and his companions successfully defeat the "Mechanical Demon," they cannot eradicate its implanted form deep within everyone's consciousness. In other words, aside from killing all the victims implanted with the Butcher's Nails—including Liu Bei and Angron—it is impossible to completely defeat it...
Is it really?

Angron closed his eyes and began to recite a string of "incantations" that were less obscure and difficult to pronounce and more like words that some syllables were simply impossible for a mortal's throat to utter.
That's for sure, because that's the demon's "true name".

In this Warhammer universe, names and words themselves possess power, but the "true name" of a demon has an even greater meaning. The true name represents their existence, their concept, their warp nature, and their ultimate weakness that they can never escape.
No matter how powerful a demon is, once its true name is known, it can be controlled, banished, weakened, and even suffer permanent damage to its warp nature.
Of course, just as no straight man would wear open-crotch pants in Tianfu Square, a demon certainly wouldn't reveal his true name and parade around in public.
The well-known names of demons, such as Samus, Skabrand, Carlos the Weaver of Fates, and the Great Unclean One, are just "pseudonyms" or nicknames. The true names of powerful demons are generally complex and extremely long, composed of syllables that are difficult for mortals to pronounce, in order to prevent their "true names" from being used by enemies.
But it's not entirely without a solution.

Some powerful psionicists or wizards can forcibly learn the true names of weaker demons through psionic spells and rituals; for example, the Grey Knights of later generations possessed such means.
There is another special case—
When a demon is born or reborn through the power of a chaotic god, its master... or rather its creator, will inevitably know its true name.
This is also why the Chaos God can only have absolute control over the demons under his command.
Since that's the case.....
"D∂vicε∅f Nucεia!"
When Angron uttered the last word, it seemed like he was just murmuring, but the sound carried a powerful psionic energy that resonated throughout every corner of the spiritual realm.
Crackling sounds!
In an instant, all the Butcher's Spike tentacles stopped moving, and at the same time, they flashed with silvery-white arcs of electricity, as if they had all been short-circuited and overloaded.
And Angron walked step by step toward the terminal where they had first fought.

Dvic∅fNc€iα——T.Ω..M..G..DD∅.N., This is your real name!
As the mechanical demon had just said when mocking Angron, a portion of his brain had completely merged with Angron's, and their memories had been largely shared for a long time.
This naturally includes the moment when demons are ascended to demonhood by Vashtor.
Angron, as the Primarch, possessed an extraordinary memory, capable of photographic recollection. Even if a demon wanted to conceal its true name, it could only seal away that portion of its memory.
But just like a long-forgotten password, which can be remembered with just a hint, Angron only needs to devour even a small part of a demon to use as a key to unlock the door to his sealed memories.
Don't forget, the Primarch himself has the talent of devouring enemies to acquire their memories; a certain corrupted Batman even uses this method to conduct hardcore detective work all day long.
At this moment, Sun Qian noticed something that wasn't exactly important.
"T.Ω..MAGEDD∅.N.......TORMAGEDDON, so that's it, you are actually the Tomagadon of this universe?" Then everything makes sense.
In the original timeline, Tomagadon was a demon born from the warp echoes caused by the Eastervan III massacre, combined with fragments of Tomagadon's soul. However, in this new timeline interfered with by Sun Qian, Tomagadon is still alive, so it no longer meets the conditions for being born.
However, demons have always existed beyond the timeline, and the billions of deaths on Istvan III still resonate in the warp. Therefore, Vashtor borrowed the concept of Tomagadon to have Butcher's Nail ascend to demon form and replace the demon's existence.
Just like Samus, the appearance of Tomagadon was almost like a backlash against Sun Qian's attempt to change history—
However, it seems they will all meet the same fate.
"You... won, Angron."
Faced with Angron, who had already learned his true name, and knowing he had no chance of resistance, Tomagaton admitted defeat.
His equally cold, mechanical voice now carried a distinct hint of helplessness and bitterness.
"From now on, I will follow any orders you give me."
'
"I have only one order."
Angron interrupted Tomagathon without hesitation.
"I want you to completely exile yourself back to the Warp."
"Simultaneously destroy all physical manifestations of this technology!"
