Bronze door through time and space

Chapter 904 The Third Alliance
The warp storm unleashed by the Four Gods through the Word Bearers was a cosmic catastrophe, its impact extending far beyond the 500 worlds. The Type-Moon region, jointly developed by the 21st and 22nd Primarchs, was naturally not spared, and its impact was even more severe due to being targeted.

The reason is simple: the four Warp Gods know who is behind these two Primarchs.

At this crucial moment when the plan was nearing its end, the Four Gods dared not be careless in the slightest. They deliberately condensed an extremely terrifying subspace storm, like an impenetrable curtain, completely enveloping the Type-Moon world without leaving a single gap, as if they wanted to completely erase this star field from the universe.

However, the actions of the four Warp Gods did not cause any substantial damage to the Type-Moon universe.

The essence of the Type-Moon world is a pocket universe created by the powerful goddess Buddha Mother. It has a large belly and a small mouth, so only the three hundred worlds on the surface are somewhat affected by the subspace, while the three thousand worlds inside are completely unaffected and continue to develop in an orderly manner.

These three thousand worlds are high-quality assets brought by Yan Xu. Although they cannot compare to the vastness and low cost of Warhammer, they are purer, whether in terms of genes, souls, or more essential things.

If an emperor saw it, he would be so envious he'd cry, wishing he could move the entire palace there and personally oversee the event.

The Golden Age humans went too far, much like the Eldar, who nearly destroyed themselves. In a sense, the Golden Age humans also wiped out the ancient humans.

Humans in the 2K era, affected only by environmental pollution and genetic modification, are already different from more ancient humans, not to mention the humans of the Golden Age who played with genes like puzzle pieces.

Modifying it is easy, but turning it back is very difficult.

Ore can be forged into refined iron, but how can refined iron be turned back into ore?

This was also one of the Emperor's headaches. The line between humans and aliens was becoming increasingly blurred, and he had to classify some subspecies as humans, even setting the shape of their skulls as the standard, which was utterly ridiculous.

Therefore, pure-blooded humans whose genes have not been modified are the most valuable asset in the eyes of emperors. Otherwise, no matter how powerful the empire is, would it still belong to humanity?

As an ancient being who has lived for tens of thousands of years, the Emperor would accept it if he had no other choice, but if he had a choice, he would not miss the opportunity to make pure-blooded humans great again.

Thanks to the unique nature of the Pocket Universe, coupled with the constant and powerful protection of the Mysterious Goddess Buddha Mother, the Three Thousand Worlds are not affected by the pollution and interference of the subspace.

When the four key elements of manpower, resources, technology, and order are unaffected by internal or external factors, the speed of development and productivity are extremely terrifying. The Pocket Universe can provide astronomical amounts of technological achievements and various creations at every moment, and the scope is very wide, ranging from food to warships.

Guilliman can generate an unknown number of Smurfs with just 500 worlds, so it's really hard to guess how many troops he can generate with 3,000 more prosperous and stable worlds.

However, Yan Xu did not intend to use his own resources to serve Emperor, because these three thousand worlds and the Pocket Universe were seeds he had planted, which would draw nourishment from the Warhammer Universe to grow continuously and eventually replace it.

Therefore, apart from some resources, the two Primarchies can only utilize the three hundred Type-Moon worlds outside.

Even so, in a very short period of time, both legions still managed to amassed 200,000 troops each, with the number of reserves and new recruits unknown.

Moreover, both legions received ample supplies, including warships, Titans, vehicles, and mortal support legions—nothing was lacking.

After all, besides the Type-Moon world, the two legions also have two deeply bound allies: the Mechanicus and the noble groups. With their support, neither legion will lack resources or equipment.

With the strength of these two legions alone, they are enough to rival the fallen Space Marine legions led by Horus.

But that wasn't enough, because the Fallen Space Marines had the blessing of the four Warp Gods, making them far more powerful than ordinary Space Marines. Therefore, Yan Xu helped adjust the Geneseeds, giving both Legions special chapters.

The 21st Legion, in its standard form, possesses both a powerful physique and a sharp mind, exhibiting a balanced approach, similar to Guilliman's Ultra Warriors, but leaning more towards scientific research than management.

However, the Ultramarines are notoriously weak in combat, and the 21st Legion isn't much better. They aren't fanatical about battle, preferring a stable environment for research, and in combat, they tend to use their self-invented vehicles as armored units and firepower for their mortal legions. Despite their unconventional nature, the 21st Legion's gene seeds are even more stable than the Ultramarines', with almost no mutations.

However, this also meant losing the Hulk's ferocious power and Iron Man's boundless inspiration, so Yan Xu specially modified a batch of special gene seeds.

If it were an Empire or a Martian mechanical god cult, it would probably take hundreds or thousands of years to complete, and there's still no guarantee that there won't be any hidden problems.

Because gene seeding is not just a simple gene technology, it also includes subspace gene-guided contamination technology.

Simply put, the transformation from an ordinary person into a Space Marine involves more than just the modification surgery and the Geneseed; the most crucial element is the specific contamination that contains the subspace essence of the Primarch.

Using the incredible genetic technology of the Golden Age, the Emperor created a genetic cage for subspace pollution, allowing it to undergo specific pollution mutations within a certain range.

However, subspace contamination is not so easy to control, which is why the descendants of each protogenes all have some problems to some extent.

For Yan Xu, however, it was not a big problem, because the Goddess of the Demonic Goddess could provide a safe and controllable source of subspace, solving the problem at its root. Therefore, he created three special warbands for the Twenty-first Legion: the Hulk, the Iron Shield Guard, and the Frost Assassin.

The Hulk Band, needless to say, specializes in close-quarters combat. When enraged, power armor becomes a burden, and they simply shatter their armor and tear enemies apart.

The Iron Shield Guard is composed of shield-and-hammer warriors, modeled after Captain America. Their incredible shield-blocking skills are considered overpowered even in the Warhammer universe.

The Frost Assassins are a Loki-inspired, exclusive think tank of the Twenty-First Legion. Each member is a psionicist, skilled in manipulating frost energy in the warp, and also proficient in illusion and spatial awareness. They can detect warp fluctuations on the battlefield, provide early warning of enemy attacks, and find spatial gaps to break through, providing effective support to the Legion.

In contrast, the genetic seeds of the 22nd Legion also possess extremely high stability, and the soldiers have excellent organizational and coordination abilities as well as strategic planning capabilities, making them more like natural managers and commanders.

They demonstrated exceptional talent in daily star system governance and legion logistics, but they had a clear weakness in direct combat.

To this end, Yan Xu also designed three special combat regiments for the 22nd Army Corps to make up for the lack of combat capabilities.

Unlike the Night Lords, who relentlessly exploit fear, the Bat Knights prioritize infiltration and tactics. Equipped with advanced stealth devices and silent movement gear, they can silently infiltrate enemy lines in dark and complex battlefield environments. Once they penetrate the enemy ranks, they can dismantle them at minimal cost.

At the same time, their elusive infiltration skills and superb dodging abilities also give them extraordinary efficiency and survivability. If used for assassination, they would be among the most terrifying assassins in the entire universe.

The Valkyrie Band uses the Wonder Woman template. They appear to be melee experts, but in reality, each member is a powerful psionicist, similar to the Grey Knights, but even more powerful, because their power comes from the most powerful deity in the warp, the Spectral Goddess.

The Shangdu Prophets Chapter, based on the Shangdu Lady template, is the most unique chapter because their primary responsibility is not combat, but rather acting as navigators and prophets for the legion. Their accurate prophetic abilities greatly aid in strategy and tactics.

After completing their expansion and reorganization, the two legions prepared to head to Terra to support the Empire and the Emperor. However, they needed a resounding name, since their older brothers had become rebels and three of them had established the Second Empire. They couldn't fall behind.

After careful consideration, the two decided to form the Third Alliance, officially known as the Third World Avengers.

The first is naturally the Empire, the second is the rebels, and they are the third, the local armies that assist the Empire in suppressing the rebels.

The slogan was to avenge the Empire and the Emperor, and to destroy the rebel Horus and all the fallen Space Marines.

Compared to the Second Empire, this slogan was naturally more solid, righteous, and unyielding, boosting the morale of the entire legion. With the combined efforts of the think tanks of the two legions, it was like a sharp dagger navigating turbulent waters, precisely piercing through the curtain, tearing through space into the warp, its destination: Holy Terra.
