From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 515: The Force - Psychic Words at Midnight
At the same time, in the jump space;

An Emperor-class battleship with a majestic and "gorgeous" appearance is sailing at high speed, leading a huge fleet consisting of a New Era aircraft carrier, two Valiant-class super-heavy cruisers, and more than 20 Paris-class, Phoenix-class, Kingfisher-class and other types of ships.

This fleet was like a sharp claw, cutting through the sky in a "space tunnel" emitting rippling light.

Not only the Emperor-class battleships, but the appearance of every ship appears extremely majestic, as if it is going to "swallow" every speck of dust in the starry sky.

The ship's paint job is dominated by dark red, with brilliant gold edging to outline a unique and brilliant outline.

On the sides and hulls of each ship, there is a special emblem representing the 1st Company of the Thousand Sons.

A soaring raven with spread wings, like a messenger of death and darkness, with a bright red teardrop or ruby ​​inlaid in the center of its chest.

As the main company of the Thousand Sons, the 1st Company is undoubtedly the most powerful and influential among them, and therefore has its own special number, namely "Blood Ravens".

The Blood Crow Company not only far surpasses ordinary companies of other legions in combat power, but also has an overwhelming advantage in the accumulation of equipment and resources.

Although the total number of the Thousand Sons Legion is not large, with only four large companies, their power and influence are enough to shake the entire human empire.

Because of this, the Blood Raven Company is in a particularly special position and is often given the most dangerous and difficult tasks, and they always meet the challenges fearlessly.

The special name of Blood Raven is not based on any mysterious symbol, but simply because all members of this company, including the company commander Gabriel Angelos, have a special liking for the creature raven.

These creatures represent death and destruction. Just like the fighting "philosophy" of the Thousand Sons, they are tough, cruel, and have strong survivability.

They always shuttle through the flames and smoke of war, bringing fear and symbols of death to the enemy.

Moreover, the Blood Crow Company possesses not only formidable combat power, but also various cutting-edge weapons and equipment, as well as numerous ships for support.

After all, their home planet is the newborn Earth in the universe numbered "06" (Pacific Rim).

Their strong industrial base not only enables them to possess top-notch combat equipment, but also enables them to produce a large number of ships, vehicles, and weapons in a short period of time, ensuring that the Blood Crow Company always maintains an advantageous position in the war.

Therefore, although the overall number of the Thousand Sons is small, it is still one of the more "rich" legions among all the legions.

Of course, at certain times, the Blood Crows would still sign contracts and complete transactions with companies from other legions in exchange for scarce resources unique to other universes and legions.

The abundant funds and resources mean that Blood Crow does not need to rely on "stealing" or "force" to grow stronger.

As for the main force of the Blood Crow Company, they had already completed a rapid assembly before the space gate opened, and were ready to engage in battle at any time.

The original plan was strict and orderly. The Blood Crow Company would carry out operations through the space gate step by step according to the predetermined schedule.

However, with the sudden change, the situation changed dramatically.

First, the outbreak of the Death Star's destruction of the Holy City of Jedha directly affected the main universe empire's deployment against Jedha, and also touched the nerves of various forces in the local universe.

Furthermore, news that the Rebel Alliance is planning to assassinate a high-value researcher has sharply increased tensions.

These changes forced the Blood Raven Company to adjust its plans and deploy its main fleet across the space gate in advance to Jedha's low-Earth orbit in order to prepare for the upcoming large-scale conflict.

Shortly after the Blood Raven Fleet completed its deployment, Gabriel Angelos issued an order for action, and the fleet entered the jump space and headed straight for Scarif, preparing to launch the first large-scale real battle with the main force of the Galactic Empire.
-
At this moment, in the bridge of the flagship;
There is a heavy metallic texture here, as well as rippling light that shines into the bridge through the bridge observation windows.

In the center of the bridge, a Blood Raven observer wearing a lightweight titanium tank armor was staring intently at the instrument in front of him.

Seeing that the real-time data had been updated, the Blood Crow observer reported it to one of the "giants" standing behind the observation window:
"Father, it is estimated that it will take another twenty minutes to leave the jump space and reach Scarif's gravitational range."

"Ah."

After hearing the report, the "Giant" simply responded without giving any further instructions.

Then, his deep eyes remained outside the window, staring at the split-level space that looked like ripples on water, as if he could "see" everything in the universe through it.

He is huge in stature, dignified in temperament, and wearing heavy exclusive armor. He is like an unshakable mountain, and his existence itself is a huge threat to any enemy.

The only ones who can be regarded as "giants" by the Astartes are the Emperor of the Primeval Empire and his descendants, the Primarchs.

In fact, Magnus, the genetic father of the Thousand Sons, was one of the "giants" standing behind the observation window.

Magnus still looks like an ordinary handsome man. He has not been "tanned into a red Ogryn" and has not undergone any mutation. The only difference is that his hair color is redder than before.

He learned that in the universe numbered "One Seven" (Star Wars), there were extremely powerful superpowers, and they would pose a high threat to the actions of the Thousand Sons.
In addition, after receiving a request for assistance from Gabriel Angelos, he personally led the Glory Guard and boarded the flagship of the Blood Raven Company, preparing to rush to Scarif together.

At the same time, there was a hint of "excitement" in Magnus' eyes, as if he couldn't wait to compete with the strong men in this universe.

The first moment he crossed into this universe, he directly felt an invisible force that penetrated every corner of the universe and enveloped everything, namely -

The Force.

Although the Intelligence Department shared a lot of detailed information, or in other words, he had learned general information about the Force from his father, after crossing the space gate and setting foot on Jedha, the "omnipresent" Force still gave him more new feelings and insights.

When Magnus first encountered this power, his mind froze as he tried to comprehend how it was different from the psionics he was familiar with.

Psionics refers to the "supernatural" abilities that psykers extract from the warp and manifest in the physical universe.

These abilities include prophecy, environmental perception, elemental shaping, psionic teleportation, telekinesis, manipulation of the time stream, mind manipulation, etc., which can be said to be "innumerable".

These supernatural abilities are powerful, but the cost of using them is also very high.

Whenever a psyker uses psionic power, their soul projection in the warp is like a blazing flame, attracting the attention of demons and possibly even leading to the psyker's death, or having both their body and soul occupied and devoured by demons.

Therefore, psionic energy and the subspace represent endless chaos, disorder and disorder.

Unless one is like their father, a special psychic who can use psychic power, especially large-scale psychic spells, and only suffer a relatively low degree of backlash, one can use psychic power safely.

As descendants of their fathers, they naturally have a strong resistance to the corruption of the warp. However, if the evil gods and demons take "tough measures", such as "physical invasion" of the body, or even "corrosion of the soul" and other extremely blasphemous methods, the Astartes of the Main Universe Empire are still at risk of being corrupted.

As for other psychics with potential, they need to undergo rigorous training in all aspects of the Imperial State Religion. With the protection of their fathers, they can also use psychic powers relatively safely.

Looking back at the Force——

It seems deeper and hazier, like the essence of the natural world in this universe, connecting all existences, but elusive, and has the same purpose as the subspace.

And my father once said that the Force is divided into light and darkness, like the two poles of the universe.

After setting foot on Jedha, Magnus could more intuitively sense that the light side represented balance, healing, and protection, and was designed to maintain order and harmony in the universe;
The dark side, on the other hand, is like a corrosive fire that consumes everything, filled with desire, anger, and an endless desire to dominate.

What curious him was that the power displayed by the dark side was also strikingly similar to psychic power.

"Its" power is not only strong, but also swift, relying on the outburst of emotions and the indulgence of desires.

It does not seem to be an exaggeration to compare the dark side to the chaos that Magnus knows. Both use inner desires and negativity as catalysts to transform them into powerful energy.

However, after a period of perception and thinking, he did not agree with the so-called division of "light" and "darkness" in the Force.

The Intelligence Department stated that this universe divides power into two categories and measures them by moral standards.

The true "power" or "essence" should not be bound by such simple labels.

When he turned his "eyes" to these so-called light and dark sides——

Whether they are guiding others or controlling everything with violence and anger, they are all part of the universe and a manifestation of the Force.

In Magnus' eyes, there is no right or wrong, light or dark in the Force, there is only power itself.

In the face of this power, light and darkness are merely perspectives limited to the body and mind, not the eternal essence of the universe.

Therefore, Magnus believes that rather than being bewitched and seduced, amplifying his emotions and falling into the dark side, it is Darth Vader's own "fall" that has nothing to do with other factors.
Of course, this is just Magnus' personal opinion.

After all, he doesn't want to be bound by anyone, and he is the only one who truly controls the power.

Coupled with his father's teachings and care, Magnus had enough confidence and strength to face the abyss of the origin of the universe.

In addition, on the left and right of Magnus stood two equally tall Primarchs.

They also exude the same powerful aura as Magnus, but they have different temperaments.

On the right is a fair-skinned, handsome “young man,” who is the grown-up Koz.

And there always seemed to be a hint of innate melancholy in Koz's eyes. Even though he had never experienced complex emotions and confusion, he still exuded this aura.

As for the person standing on Magnus's left, it was Lorca, who was slightly older than Curze.

Luojia has a decent appearance, although her appearance is not particularly "eye-catching".
Compared to his brothers Fulgrim and Sanguinius, Lorgar is indeed somewhat "ordinary", but this Primarch's straight figure and stern temperament also give people a feeling that he should not be underestimated.

His buzz cut looked particularly neat and tidy under the lights of the bridge, and Luo Jia's eyes were sharp, as if they could penetrate all hypocrisy and fog, and even see through the essence of things.

At this moment, inside the Blood Crow flagship;

Magnus stared quietly at the loft space outside the window, feeling a complicated emotion in his heart.

He turned around and looked at his brothers.

Curze and Lorgar.

In terms of seniority, Koze and Luojia should call him brother, or "Fifth Brother".

Magnus should call Lorgar and Curze "Sixteenth Brother" and "Seventeenth Brother" respectively.

However, they don't seem to be very familiar with each other. From an outsider's perspective, Magnus seems to always keep a certain distance from his two younger brothers.

After all, the number of times Lorgar, Curze and Magnus had met could be counted on one’s fingers.

But the reason why the two youngest Primarchs are both on the flagship of the Blood Raven Company is that Lorgar and Curze need to participate in a unified war in order to accumulate more experience for leading their legions.

Magnus naturally had no objection to this.

Anyway, his father's order pointed out that unless the situation was urgent, Lorgar and Curze would not interfere in any decision of the Thousand Sons. At most, they would act as "bystanders" to learn from Magnus.

As for the two younger brothers, their legions had already been formed, namely the Sixteenth Legion - The Word Bearers, and the Seventeenth Legion - The Night Lords.

The Word Bearers have deep cooperation with the Imperial Ecclesiarchy and are good at infantry combat, logistics management, reconstruction and reshaping, and most importantly, they are also good at the use of psychic energy.

The Night Lords Legion excels at infiltration, psychological warfare, and decapitation operations behind enemy lines. They demonstrate the Emperor's will through "fear" and use absolute force to defeat the enemy.

Furthermore, the Night Lords will make these actions public, so that other potential rebels and hostile xenos know what will happen if they go against the will of the Empire.

In Magnus's eyes, the Word Bearers were relatively "normal", while the Night Lords were more like "executioners" trained by his father, specializing in using fear to intimidate enemies inside and outside the empire.

Although he was not fond of excessive killing, the empire did need a "negative image" to maintain its absolute rule.

"Father."

At this moment, the Blood Raven communicator interrupted Magnus's thoughts and heard:

"Captain Angelos reported that the Death Star of the Galactic Empire and a main fleet have completed hyperspace navigation and arrived in the space domain of Scarif."
