Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

Chapter 18 Reconstructive Surgery and the Other Me

The base of the Gray Knights is not far from Terra, but the level of secrecy is extremely high, and there are very few people in Terra who have the right to know the existence of this warband.

It was placed on an unassuming moon in the cool orbit of Saturn.Legend has it that the base was built on the orders of the Emperor himself.From the beginning, there was only one simple mission - to serve the gray knights who had not yet been born.

Here, the entire satellite was hollowed out, and layers of corridors and halls spread underground.All kinds of underground buildings form a huge underground building complex according to the needs of the gray knights.

The prime minister of the empire, Malcador the Magicweave, the most powerful psychic among mortals in history, also used his most powerful psychic power in the empire besides the emperor himself to shroud the fog of war forever after the completion of this base. it's here.

Only to protect the Gray Knights from the prying eyes of the evil gods of the warp and their minions lurking in the empire.

The cruiser that Aidan and Calvin were on arrived here soon, and the two of them were separated after a short farewell.

Aidan needed to go back to his company headquarters to deal with the government affairs that had piled up while he was away, and Calvin, three days after being taken to the residential area where the candidate was located, was with this batch of people in the 3th basement A gene-seed was implanted after being anesthetized by the chapter's medical department.

In the quiet medical room, Calvin took off his clothes and lay on the operating table with only a pair of nose pants, surrounded by automatic surgical instruments and a giant in white power armor.This belongs to each chapter's professional in charge of genetic modification and seed recovery, the apothecary.

"Where does the seed I want to be implanted come from? Which battle group does it belong to? Is the success rate high?" Calvin, who seemed calm, was still a little nervous at this moment. He looked at the only living person in the room and endured Can't stop asking.

"Ah~ Aidan has such a big mouth, did he really tell you everything?" The pharmacist didn't wear a helmet, and a huge modified double-pupil mechanical prosthetic eye was lined up one by one.

Together with the remaining eye, the two prosthetic eyes observed Calvin's whole body.

Hearing Calvin's question, he raised his eyebrows slightly, turned around and looked down at Calvin.Said in a strange tone.

"Is this your seed? Listen to me, it comes from..." Calvin's eyelids suddenly became heavy.In a few seconds, he felt unprecedented drowsiness attacking from the back of his head.

His remaining consciousness is still struggling to hear the pharmacist's words, but there seems to be another sentence in the pharmacist's remaining eyes:

"Da Lang, come, take your medicine..." Then Calvin passed out.

"Look, it's not that I didn't say it. You didn't finish listening..." The pharmacist shrugged and straightened up.

"Is it overturned? If it is overturned, hurry up and work, and wait later."

Outside the medical room, another pharmacist who controlled the automatic surgical instrument walked in.he asked the apothecary standing by Calvin's bed.

"Overturned, can you not overturn the 5 times the dose. It's a pity for this little chatterbox, I still want to tease him again."

"Then let's start." The pharmacist at the door walked to the bed, looked at Calvin on the bed with the original one, and leaned down together amidst strange laughter, the flickering lights Next, there were bursts of terrifying sounds from time to time in the medical room...

Well, the above paragraph is Calvin's imagination, not counting.

According to the pharmacist, the implantation operation was a success.The seeds were successfully placed behind the liver close to the spine, and the two blood vessels connecting the liver and the anterior branch of the spinal cord can fully guarantee the survival rate and transformation effect of the seeds.

As for the next step, Calvin was placed in the life-support cabin according to the procedure, and then observed after standing still for a period of time.

See if he has a rejection reaction to the acceptance of the seeds. If not, then whether his growth can reach the basic index of the transformation operation.

In this process, no one can help Calvin, it all depends on his own will and the protection of the emperor.

According to the procedures related to the genetic modification of the Astartes, Calvin at this time should have been unconscious.

Or, based on his strong body or the activity of the newly implanted gene-seed in his body.

His most likely state at this stage is to be caught in the bloodline source of this seed: the memory of the war between the Primarch and his descendants.

It was a gift from the great Emperor and Primarch.Here, they will grow rapidly in the memory of their predecessors about the war.

Through these memories they instinctively inherit information about the enemies of the Astartes, and the proven ways of fighting against them, without paying a terrible price.

On the other hand, newcomers who inherit this memory will also instinctively try to use these Astartes' bodies while absorbing the memory.

This in turn is mapped to the body that is being developed and transformed after the gene seed is implanted in thinking, which will further promote the change of this body.

In the next step of the reconstructive surgery, the basis for implanting the organ is achieved.

Then superhuman organs began to be implanted step by step into the predetermined positions of the host body.

Every implantation step in the process is rigorous.The implantation of any new organ must be based on the successful implantation of the previous organ.

Conversely, failure of any step will directly declare the overall failure of the reconstruction operation.

When the real body is transformed and starts to operate on its own, or when the spirit of the transformed person reaches the limit of his mental endurance in the process of receiving these memories, the body will stop growing.

The former means the birth of a new demigod, while the latter is left to be thrown into the destruction room, becoming nameless tombstones on the way these demigods transform from mortals.

They have no names, and if they must, they have only one name to share - Loser.

And our protagonist, shortly after being put into the life support cabin, began to face a bizarre battle in his spiritual consciousness.

Yes, there is no induction of the blood of the original body, and there is no combat memory of the predecessors.

There was only one old man in front of Calvin, an old man with a slurred speech and a stooped body.

What made his hair stand on end the most was that he recognized the old man the moment he saw it, it was himself!
Calvin was standing in a straw hut.It was the kind of thatched hut he was born in, in the agricultural world where every harvest season, under the strong pressure of the empire, the serfs were so busy from morning to night that they had no time to go back to the village to rest, and they randomly built thatched huts on the edge of the fields.

It was a dark night outside the house, but inside the house there was only an old man resting his elbows on a wooden table on the worn-out straw mat, looking at him and laughing in the dim candlelight.

"You... you're still here. Well, well, well. I've been waiting for you all my life, and finally it's here." The old man said inarticulately.

"You! Who are you?" Calvin, who has been a man for two lifetimes, has never seen such a strange scene. A possibility that he dared not and did not want to imagine appeared in his mind.

"Who am I? Don't you know? Or do you dare not think? Think again, think again..." The old man was not aggressive, but the words in his mouth were like a sharp sword, stabbing Calvin Almost at a loss.

"Hey...you don't want to say it, so let me say it. I am you!" The old man looked at Calvin who was trembling all over, took a sip from the teacup in his hand, and said slowly.

　Change it first!
