Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 639 The Dying Person
……

Before the orbital defense platform or something like that could be returned to Kane's control, a small warship detached from the space station.

Even though it belonged to Kelbohar, the ship could still move unhindered if all means of attack were disabled.

The ship left Mars and headed towards Terra.

As it passed the Glorious Queen-class battleship that had been paralyzed by the Chaos Waste Code invasion, a macro cannon, which had been gradually regaining control of by the antivirus program invented by the Quadrant, aimed at the ship.

The macro guns fired continuously, but failed to hit the small ships until they were out of range.

However, the Quadrant and the Imperial Guards were teleported into the small ship.

The teleport point is located in the corridor outside the command deck.

This teleportation point was intentional by both parties, so when Quadrant broke away from the subspace, his nine brothers and sisters were already waiting on the path that must be taken.

The electronic light tube affected by the waste code is sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

In the dim environment, both sides looked at each other.

Quadrant is using a synthetic human body at this time. The strong bionic body is wrapped in a red robe, but there are no modified parts such as appendages, because the only function of those implants or prostheses for this body is to hinder the various advanced functions of the synthetic human body.

"What exactly is Kelbor going to do?" Quadrant asked. "His sudden attack has given opponents a good excuse to clean up the rebellion. Malcador is still in charge of Terra... What's the difference between this series of actions and seeking death?"

The apprentices didn't know what their mentor wanted to do. They were swallowed by the giant virus before they could react in the Temple of All Machines. When they woke up, they found that their consciousness had been transferred.

"To the instructor, you are the rebel."

The slender apprentice took a step forward, and as he leaned forward, he gradually disappeared into the green data stream, and when he reappeared, he was already behind the quadrant.

Captain Cole of the Imperial Guards' Shield Guard was about to take action, but when he saw Quadrant's eyes, he realized the other party's current reaction speed, and made an inference based on it... so he did not take action.

The quadrant's head tilts slightly to the right and rearward.

Another quadrant split from behind it...even the iconic red robes of the Adeptus Mechanicus split off as well, all made of the same material that formed the synth Bron.

After appearing, the clone Quadrant stretched out his hand to strangle the senior brother's throat, and rushed forward with the senior brother, while his left hand turned into a sharp blade and stabbed into his abdomen.

After rushing out a distance of a hundred meters, the clone's arm pierced into the brother's abdomen and energy flowed through it.

The next second, a flash of light appeared behind Quadrant, and the explosion that engulfed the corridor spread to a place only one meter away from Quadrant.

Some refined gold parts splashed out from the fire and hit the back of the quadrant.

The quadrant remained motionless.

The quadrants of the clones turned into "water streams" and converged towards the original body.

"Ancient stone man technology? As the mentor said, you are undoubtedly a genius." The apprentice named Noor said, "A genius among us geniuses."

"I'm not that talented yet," Quadrant responded, "but with ancient materials, anyone can do it."

The remaining eight apprentices looked at each other.

Quadrants sometimes say disgusting things like this.

What's even more disgusting is that he didn't do it on purpose, nor was it out of arrogance...

"You are the mentor's favorite," Noor said. "You may not know... but he always uses you as an example when he scolds us."

"That kind of pampering?" Quadrant recalled his original body.

Noor was helpless.

She had asked her tutor for help on this matter, but to no avail.

"Get out of the way. I'm going to find Kelbor Har." Quadrant said, "I don't want to kill any of you, except for the one just now... You've all been very kind to me."

All the apprentices took up attacking stances at the same time.

"The most terrible conflict between intelligent species is the conflict of ideas." Eight sharp appendages extended from behind Noor, "because they will not end until one of them dies."

The apprentices rushed over the next second.

Cole noticed that Quadrant didn't react immediately and prepared to fight back, then realized Quadrant's struggle.

The shield guard captain immediately stood in front of Quadrant.

A fight breaks out between the Custodes and the Apprentices.

The line formed by the shield guards is impossible to break through, and the shields they use can withstand the most deadly attacks.

The phase sword unearthed from the tomb of the dead can cut through any metal, but the imperial guards are wearing heavy armor and holding heavy weapons, and their movement speed and reaction ability are dozens of times faster than those of the enhanced apprentices.

Cole is an even more ruthless character.

While dodging the incoming phase sword, he pierced another apprentice's head with his halberd. At the same time, his other hand grabbed another apprentice's neck and crushed it. When he finished dodging, the two bodies fell to the ground.

After a few brief rounds of fighting, the guards put down their shields, raised their halberds, kicked away the bodies of the apprentices, and cleared a path to the command deck.

From the start of the confrontation to the time the road was cleared, only thirty seconds had passed.

"The former apprentice of the Forge General is quite capable." Cole indicated that the quadrant could move forward, "but unfortunately, we are the Imperial Guards among the Imperial Guards."

Quadrant recited a silent binary prayer and headed for the command deck.

……

Inside the command deck.

Kelborhar faced the porthole and stared at Terra.

Chaotic energy emanates from its body.

All the appendages on its body are baring their teeth and claws, as if they are alive.

As if sensing the arrival of the quadrant, Kelbo turned his head, with a smile on his mechanical face: "My most talented apprentice."

From the tone of voice, neither Quadrant nor Cole could tell that they were deliberately trying to disgust others. And this was not the first time that Kelber had called Quadrant in this way.

"Mentor." Quadrant spoke.

Cole was surprised.

But Quadrant used a look to tell the shield captain that Kelbo was not normal at the moment.

"Hmm?" Kelber nodded with a smile.

"Excuse me, what did you do?" Quadrant asked.

Kelber was probably really crazy.

Anyone who is contaminated by chaotic energy will become abnormal.

He was now lingering on a certain time period in his memory, and the quadrant's questions were not asking him about his secrets, but asking him questions.

Kelber knew how talented Quadrant was, so when Quadrant asked him for advice he would tell him everything he knew and feel satisfied because of it.

"I found something in Moravec's cellar."

“Technological Singularity.”

“It became part of me.”

Kelber replied with a smile.

After hearing this, Quadrant realized that those chaotic garbage codes were all byproducts of the technological singularity, and the technological singularity was likely something that integrated the subspace energy with humans and machines, just like the theory of human-machine integration pioneered by Moravec.

Thinking back to Kelbo's state in the meeting just now, he should not have merged with the technological singularity at that time, but just kept the technological singularity until then.

"Who told you how to enter the Moravec Vault?" Quadrant asked again, "I remember you once said that you had indeed been to the vault with the Emperor, but you had forgotten where the place was and how to get in."

"The Eleventh's men," Kelber replied. "They came to me when the rebellion began, offering the entrance and location of the Moravec Vaults in exchange for a Glorious Queen-class battleship and my support."

Quadrant suddenly realized.

The original Queen of Glory-class ship of the 11th Legion had been destroyed, but later another one appeared out of nowhere, and it turned out that it was built for them by Mars.

It seems that Kelbo does have some means to secretly build a Queen of Glory-class ship and give it to No. 11.

It's not surprising that the others on Mars are caught off guard now.

But Kelbohar is still far behind Malcador and the Emperor.

"What are you going to do now?" asked the Quadrant.

"To destroy the tyrant's ideals." Kelber said calmly, "The messenger of No. 11 told me that their Primarch saw the past of the Mechanicus in the Well of Eternity. The Pan-Machine God, the Messiah of Ohm, and the Primordial Power were all lies and nothingness."

"I once had the ideal of serving the God of All Things and spreading the gospel of the God of All Things. They destroyed my ideal, and now I will destroy theirs."

"In this operation, I just want to destroy both sides."

After hearing this crazy statement, Quadrant looked at Cole.

Cole suddenly realized that this might be what the Emperor meant by "No. 11 left some trouble behind."

"Quadrant!"

Kelbo suddenly became manic, his eyes fixed on Quadrant's synthetic body.

"How come you still have this weak natural body!"

"I've warned you repeatedly... You don't want to use the advanced implants and prostheses of the Mechanicus, right? Fine, then I'll replace them with the rubbish used by the most despicable!"

Kelber suddenly walked towards the quadrant.

At this time, in his confused brain, he was no longer in the period of guiding the quadrant, but in the period of intolerance of the natural body of the quadrant.

The reason why he was able to accommodate the natural body of the quadrant was that although he was clearly against the Emperor, he was recognized by the enemy and was used as a Forge General.

He took out his anger on the Quadrant.

As a bystander, Cole recalled the many materials he saw in Malcadona before carrying out the operation.

Among them is the Quadrant’s complex attitude toward Kelber.

Now it doesn't seem strange.

When Kelbo is in a good mood, he is very sincere to Quadrant and is proud of him. Even such a fan of human-machine integration will reserve the last bit of humanity for Quadrant.

But then he transformed the quadrant.

Quadrant naturally could not have a single emotion of gratitude or hatred towards Kelbo.

"tutor."

Quadrant once again called on Kelber to be his mentor, but not to curry favor, but with sincerity.

"You have always been the person I respect the most."

"I have benefited a lot from you since you got me out of that hell factory."

"But...but..."

Quadrant thought of the most painful day of his life, exhaled with a trembling breath, then took a deep breath, and did not continue to discuss it.

"Now that I think about it, it was too hasty to end the battle between master and apprentice."

"If you can't turn back, my mentor."

"Today is the day for our relationship as master and disciple, our lives, and even the old days of Mars..." Quadrant signaled Cole and the Imperial Guards to step back and face Kel Bohar who was walking slowly. "The moment of decision!"
