Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 658 Gods
……

The will of the swarm drives its tentacles.

Tentacles extend from its fleet, which is larger than a galaxy, toward the Milky Way and the Large Magellanic Cloud.

Suddenly, a being set its sights on it.

The Swarm Mind is an incorporeal entity that resides in the Warp, and controls the Zerg through the unrivaled power of psionics.

Psionic attacks are bound to be extremely effective against the will of the swarm, but the prerequisite is that the psychic attacks are more powerful than the will of the swarm.

The psychic energy containing concepts such as attack and severing surged in the warp, sweeping towards the will of the Zerg.

But in the real universe, the will of the Zerg has lost contact with the Zerg.

It might be able to regain control of the Zerg, but that would be a long process.

For those who are preparing to launch a human counterattack in the real universe, what they have to deal with is not a swarm of insects that obey orders, but small groups that are divided at the level of consciousness communication.

Inside the communications ship.

Qin Xia opened his eyes. After he completed his psychic attack on the swarm's will, the ship arrived at its destination.

"The Forger?"

Angron stood in front of the string window and looked at the void outside.

In the galaxy, a huge and majestic statue stands near the planet, with a starport as large as a planet at its feet.

Qin Xia also walked over to take a look and found that it was exactly the same statue as the one he had seen cast by the maker.

However, traveling is not Qin Xia’s purpose.

"Wait for me here." Qin Xia said and opened the portal.

The next second, he entered the star.

At the innermost part of the star is where the Pantheon of Talon is now located, where the gods reside.

It is rumored that the residence of this star god has been moved several times, but that is not important. What is important is that the star gods are within the star Talon.

When Qin Xia entered the interior of the star, what he saw was another universe.

The stars are swirling across the sky.

Hundreds of stars are arranged vertically.

The next second, a giant covered in flames suddenly appeared in front of Qin Xia.

Soon after, more huge beings appeared one after another, surrounding Qin Xia in three layers.

"I am a like-minded person of the Forger, and we are on the road of killing gods together."

Qin Xia spoke directly to the point and stated the true information that was most favorable to the current situation.

When the star gods heard this, they looked at each other, and then continued to listen in silence.

"This real universe is being eroded by a more powerful Zerg. The Galactic Federation may be able to achieve victory alone, but it will inevitably pay a huge price."

“And you can help.”

Hearing this, a green data stream paved the way and appeared in front of Qin Xia.

The Void Dragon floated above it and walked slowly: "We have contacted the Federation, but they refused our help."

A strong light flashed in front of Qin Xia, and then an indescribable existence suddenly appeared: "Is the Caster okay now?"

"Very good. If you want to send your greetings, I can convey them to you." Qin Xia looked at the god who was constantly changing his form. "What's your name?"

"Mimicry," the Star God replied, "but no need. Don't disturb him."

Qin Xia nodded and looked at the Void Dragon: "The Federation rejected your help, but you are Star Gods, you are not under the jurisdiction of the Federation, right?"

Another star god came closer.

This star god looks like a book.

When it unfolded its pages, the past of the real universe was transformed from words into reality, flowing in front of Qin Xia like a scroll.

"The Forger reshaped the thinking of our race, allowing us to grow into a race of gods that are not absurd. The Recorder explained."

"It looked at the psychic creature in front of it, and continued: But the Caster has set rules for us. Although we are not subject to the jurisdiction of any real creature, we cannot do anything without permission."

"This is a Federation war after all. If we want to provide assistance, we need their permission."

"There are two factions in the Federation. The narrator continued. One faction does not advocate war, or if war breaks out, let us assist. The other faction is just the opposite."

"The current federal minister belongs to the latter faction."

The strange star god named the Recorder explained it in strange words.

Qin Xia understood: "So if we change the Federation Minister, you can join the war?"

“This is a very weird thing!”

A furious voice sounded.

The flame burned in every basic tiny substance that made up the space around Qin Xia.

Qin Xia heard every spark, and every spark echoed with the sound from the depths of the universe.

"But it is true!"

"The rules are weird, aren't they? But we must abide by the rules of the game left by the Forger! Either the Federation asks us for assistance, or we stay in the shelter until the war is over!"

"So where is the Forger? Why doesn't he come back to deliver the order? He can make the current Federation Minister go away with just one word!"

As the Burner finished speaking, the flames burning in every substance in the space suddenly dissipated.

"He's busy killing demons." Qin Xia responded.

"Our universe is already safe." A Star God asked, "Why is he so obsessed with destroying Chaos?"

"Because the subspace connects countless universes, and the other original universe is also facing the threat of chaos." Qin Xia said, "If chaos is not resolved, this universe can only be safe in a corner."

The star gods were silent.

"That's the thing." Mimicry said, "If you want us to help the Federation solve the problem, then follow the rules and ask the Federation to replace the Minister. We cannot assist you in this process because of the rules..."

"So it's settled?" Qin Xia opened the portal to the outside of the star, "I'll get this done."

……

Somewhere in the galaxy.

The core of a luxurious starship. The current Federation Minister sat on the sofa with a glass of wine.

The secretary stood in front of him.

"General, there are two things that affect your poll numbers."

"explain."

"The first thing is: when you took office, you did not go to the Talon system to perform the inauguration ceremony. Representatives of the various member races of the Federation believed that you disrespected the authority of Lord Talon."

"What?! No! I have never disrespected the authority of Lord Talon. I grew up in the Talon galaxy. I have listened to the stories of that legendary leader since I was a child..."

The chief glanced around the room.

The room was filled with portraits, figurines, and souvenirs of Lord Talon.

"It took me half my life to collect a complete set of war souvenirs!" The commander-in-chief raised his right hand and pointed at the watch on his right wrist with his left hand. "It's a gold expedition watch, a limited edition commemorative model. There are only three of them in total. It was only after I became the commander-in-chief that I had the power to get this watch from a collector named Trazyn."

"That skeleton bastard named Trazyn asked me to exchange my clone with him... Anyway... Anyway, I despise the authority of Lord Talon? Bullshit!"

"Besides, didn't I explain publicly that I would conduct the empowerment ceremony after the Humanity Strikes Back War, and then I would go to the Talon System with honor... didn't this get publicized?"

After listening to the general manager's words, the secretary nodded.

"So it just swung the polls a little bit, your support was going up after you published your manifesto."

"And the second thing is that you refused to use the implant."

"You are considered a naturalist. And a naturalist named Belisariukauer is using your name to promote his ideas..."

After listening to what the secretary said, the general manager lowered his head and remained silent for two seconds.

"That's right..." The commander nodded, "Please do some makeup for me in the future. Add something like a brain-computer interface to my head... Pure human bodies are the privilege of those in high positions, because we don't have to compromise with modifications for convenience... How can I really make an implant?"

After the secretary finished his report and closed the document, he started talking about a private matter that did not fall within the scope of public reporting.

"The Far Voyage No. 1 colony is being attacked by Zerg." The secretary whispered, "The propaganda agency is collecting relevant information. When you make your next public speech, it will become a tool for you to mobilize public opinion and seize some power from the war agency."

"Very good!" the general smiled.

"But... the head of the propaganda agency is against you doing this..."

"Then remove him and arrange an event for him to die. For example... for example, the anti-gravity device fails during black hole travel. Isn't it easy to let him die?"

"But perhaps we can take away the power of the war agencies in other ways, rather than relying on public opinion to force the war agencies to give up their power."

"Are you kidding? I'm not the Lord of Tyrone. How could I have the prestige to make them hand over power to me? I have to incite wars to gain prestige. Back then, the Lord of Tyrone was able to get people to join the Golden Crusade and support the Empire with just a few words... but that also depends on who asked them to do so."

The chief said as he stood up and took a sip of his wine impatiently.

The secretary knew that this was a sign of seeing someone off, so he turned and left.

The general manager sat back on the sofa, thinking and humming.

"So the people of Yuanhang No. 1 have become victims of your power struggle without any explanation?"

A faint voice reached the ears of the chief.

The general manager subconsciously looked back and froze in place.

I saw a man in black armor sitting on a chair in the corner of the room with his legs crossed. A sword was placed on his legs, and a double-headed eagle scepter was held in his hand.

The air seemed to freeze.

The silence lasted for two full minutes.

Suddenly the silence was broken by the sound of a wine glass falling to the ground and breaking.

This was followed by trembling words.

"You...you're back?"

The general manager had a flattering expression on his face, but then it changed into confusion and fear.

He wanted to smooth things over by flattering, but thinking about what he had just said, and then realizing that he would never be forgiven, his flattery turned into fear and confusion.

Then he trembled all over. He stretched out his hand to press his heart and rub his throat. He opened his mouth to say something, but all the words were stuck in his throat. The overly intense physiological reaction prevented him from even speaking.

"It should be said that you are a very talented person."

When the chief heard this, the reaction on his face eased a little, and he was able to say the word "I".

"When you were young, you ended the Krim War and brought vindication to the Krim people."

"You have accomplished a quantum leap in the living standards of all races in the Federation."

"Your predecessor completed the integration of the Empire and the Federation. He was as talented as you, but also as insidious as you."

"You have done a lot, but it is not enough to keep you from being punished."

The general manager's expression turned fearful again.

But then the Lord of Tyrone in his eyes did nothing, just watched him silently.

There was no anger in that look, only indifference.

But in the eyes of the general, all this calm and ordinary thing has a terrible power, which makes him think of a lot in an instant.

Then the violent beating of the heart broke everything in the commander's mind. The beating sound became louder and louder until it drowned out the music in the room and the friction sound of the trembling bones.

Until the sound of the heartbeat drowns out everything else.

The commander grabbed at his throat, but his pale fingers soon lost their strength and he fell to the ground.

Qin Xia stood up from the chair and looked at the corpse in disbelief. After using his psychic power to investigate, he found that the person was dead.

"No..." Qin Xia was a little confused. He gathered his hair and after thinking, he teleported out of this luxury ship and returned to the communication ship in the galaxy.

"You killed him?" Angron asked.

"No." Qin Xia shook his head slowly, "He scared himself to death."

“Oh my god…” Angron was surprised.

"Let's sail." Qin Xia said, "Let's go collect some more technology, and then leave this universe."

"What about the fourth... fifth level trial?"

"The test of self-discipline was completed when I broke the will of the Swarm."
