Warhammer: This Galen's Heart of Steel

Chapter 80 Blackstone Fortress
The Blackstone Fortress possesses indescribable abilities and technology, enough to glide silently through the void without the use of Newtonian propulsion, ignoring the law of inertia. Their shields and armor are several times more powerful than the most powerful warships.

Their weapon, a vaunted vortex cannon, harnesses the power of the Warp to unleash a beam of the purest immaterial ray, powerful enough to destroy any capital ship in a single blow at extreme range.

Even more terrifying is that the power of the Blackstone Fortress can be combined with another Blackstone Fortress to unleash even more powerful warp effects.

Two Blackstone Fortresses are enough to destroy a world's ecosystem in the blink of an eye, and three can destabilize a star.

"My Lord, it was not hit. The thing cleverly avoided the bombardment and slipped in."

"I saw."

Just now, after traveling through the Cyclops Cluster for several months, Galen finally found the location of the Rebo Galaxy. It took some more time to find the giant black stone fortress standing in the deep space of the universe.

At the heart of every Blackstone Fortress lies an ancient and vast portal to the Webway, as Robouti Guilliman discovered when he was captured and held captive by the Red Corsairs in M41.999.

The road leads to arteries large enough for starships to navigate - they could easily accommodate entire Terran expeditionary forces.

However, just as Galen was about to lead the fleet in, a spaceship dived towards the entrance at an extremely fast speed.

The Primarch naturally didn't want to let others have a share of the meal, so he decisively gave the order, and the precise and extremely fast Gaussian beams struck across the galaxy.

Unexpectedly, the spaceship dodged the almost certain hit at an extremely delicate angle and dived into the Black Stone Fortress without slowing down at all.

"What on earth is that spaceship? No, no, no, it doesn't look like a spaceship at all. It looks more like some alien creature that looks like a spaceship. Only it can adjust its body so flexibly."

The Primarch lowered his head and muttered to himself.

Lux flapped the small wings on her back hard, hovered beside the Primarch, and pointed at the huge entrance of the fortress on the screen that was as big as the abyss.

"Brother! Stop thinking about it. If you don't go after them, the fortress will become theirs!"

"Ms. Laxana, please do not disturb the Primarch's thoughts."

A pair of large hands closed from both sides, easily hugged Lux's slender waist, and carried her away from the Primarch like a stuffed doll.

The sister-in-law of the Dauntless Pioneer was such a headache, flapping her little wings and running around everywhere in the Dauntless as if she had ADHD.

He wanted to see and touch everything, and once he even ran into the barrel of a Gauss Exterminator.

Maxim was so scared that he was sweating profusely. Was that a place he could just go to? If her spiritual power affected something, the consequences would be unbelievable.

"Maxim."

Galen's voice suddenly rang out.

"Your will, my Lord."

"Prepare a ship. I want to follow it and see what it is."

"My Lord, do you mean that we don't need the guards to follow us? That won't work. We are responsible for your safety."

Maxim sounded a little anxious.

"Maxim, although it's not nice to say this, if I'm in danger, it won't be any use for the guards to follow me.

Besides, this is a secret operation, so too many people would be bad, so I can go alone."

The cold reality struck Maxim's fragile heart hard. The Primarch was right. Compared with the Primarch's outstanding military strength, the members of the Honor Guard were indeed too weak, even though they were already the best in the legion.

"I also need to go!"

Taking advantage of the moment when the Crown Guard's nanny was distracted, Lux broke free from the pair of steely hands and threw herself on Garen, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck, as if she would not let go unless he agreed. "Okay."

"If you don't agree, then I will... Hey? Brother, do you agree?"

Lux blinked her big eyes in surprise, a little unable to believe that Garen agreed so easily. She stretched out her white arm, put it on Garen's forehead, and found that the temperature of his forehead was not hot.

"This is your holiday homework, isn't it? If it's just you, I have no problem protecting you since you're so small."

Garen gestured and found that Lux was only as tall as his forearm.

Lux: "."

Not happy at all.

Blackstone Fortress.

just now.

The alien spaceship plummeted into the interior of the Black Stone Fortress at high speed. At the center was a huge cabin that was easily hundreds of miles wide. The ceiling and floor disappeared in the shadows.

"It's incredible. What kind of race created such a magnificent creation?"

The spaceship was sailing slowly inside the Blackrock Fortress. An Eldar girl was lying on the window, staring at the scenery outside in a trance.

A pale green light flickered along the dark corridor, and the faint glow vaguely illuminated the vast and magnificent interior of the fortress.

A huge black column stood in the center of the cabin.

Outside the pillars, like dark, twisted tree trunks, radiated hundreds of bridges, stairs, platforms, and portals. Countless dark portals led to the heart of the Blackstone Fortress, huge entrances that seemed to be made for giants, and towering bridges connecting the central pillar to other parts of the fortress were wide enough for Imperial Titans to pass through.

While Blackstone and Necrons technology are eerily similar in functionality and appearance, there are puzzling differences in their ability to harness powerful void shields and direct manipulation of Warp energies, which are considered anathema by the C'tan, the Necrons' former masters.

Further weakening this theory, there is some evidence that the mysterious C'tan Tricksters manipulated the Gothic War to ensure that the relics were separated or destroyed.

"This is what we need to explore, to explore the unknown and illuminate the past and present. This is so interesting and makes my heart beat fast."

A weird mechanical sound came from the other side of the spaceship. The Eldar girl glanced at the voice in the darkness and complained viciously.

"Excuse me, you really have a heart. I doubt whether you are still human behind the machine. I don't understand why you can still be considered a human in the Empire. Your body has almost been replaced by machines."

"Thank you for calling me a machine."

The figure slowly emerged from the darkness. It was a giant moss-light blue robot, a bit like an Apple robot. Its left arm was a tubular gun, a Gatling-like weapon, and its right arm was an orange-painted mechanical claw.

"But I'd be happier if you called me UR-025."

This robot, calling itself UR-025, is ostensibly a member of the Mechanicus's Intelligent Control Legion robots, but in reality it is an iron man that survived the Golden Age!
UR-025 has beliefs similar to those of the Mechanicus, and claims to have seen the true Messiah of Ohm.

As for how he deceived the Imperial Military Affairs Department.

It was simple, he put a double-headed eagle logo on himself.

As we all know, those who wear the double-headed eagle symbol are definitely good people.

Although it is hard to believe, UR-025 did use this method to create a false identity and travel within the Empire.
