Plunder the Heavens from Warhammer

Chapter 75 Genestealer (First Order)
The twisted and blasphemous illusion did not last long.

It was as if a cold sun had driven away all those horrible visions and ear-piercing screams.

Alvin suddenly woke up and felt as if his throat was being strangled. His lungs were trying their best to expand, but not a single air came in. He felt suffocated, as if he was being held by an invisible hand.

breathe!

breathe!

Finally, Al broke free from the restraint.

"Hu Chi... Hu Chi..."

He was breathing heavily.

Although he had escaped the influence of the illusion, the fear that remained in his body did not dissipate at all, but instead became even stronger.

"what is that?!"

Alvin tried his best to calm his fear. Recalling the scene he had just seen, he was still terrified: "The twisted flesh and blood creature, the shadow of the warp, and... that cold sun!"

One glance at that twisted, profaned creation could make one feel the surging malice flowing from it, as if it were echoing the will from the highest heaven.

If... if it weren't for that cold sun, he might have been completely overwhelmed by the malice of the subspace!

"Could it really be the Emperor's spirit appearing?!"

Alvin shrank his neck, feeling inexplicably scared.

It is said that the Emperor's projection in the warp is a cold sun, but...how can he be sure that the thing is really the 'Emperor' and not something else?
Even if there is a 99% chance that it is really the Emperor who is blessing him, who would dare to bet on that 1% chance that that thing... is not the Lord of Sophistry?
"No, try not to use psionics in the Warhammer universe in the future... it's too dangerous!"

This sudden wave of the Warp made Alvin realize that psychic energy is by no means an omnipotent power. On the contrary, every time it is drawn from the Warp, it is accompanied by huge risks!
The essence of psykers is to draw power from the warp.

However, when using it, it is accompanied by many uncontrollable risks and strong side effects.

Among them, the most typical examples are: Pillar Delusion, Stink of Ether, Memory Borers, Breath Extraction, Demon Mask, etc. Severe backlash will result in death!
Therefore, Alvin speculated that the suffocation just now should be one of the "breath extraction".

As for the scene he saw... he couldn't be sure whether it was an illusion caused by side effects.

His eyes turned to the Tieshi Town Mine again.

There were no twisted flesh and blood creatures, nor were there any symbols of corruption. It was still spewing out billowing black smoke, as if everything he had just seen was just an illusion.

"Is that really... an illusion?"

Alvin couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. What he saw was too real.

So much so that...it's hard to regard it as an illusion.

The twisted and corrupted creatures of flesh and blood, the endless malice emanating from the warp, and the cold sun, all these signs seemed to indicate to him that the factory was extremely dangerous!

Once you step in, your life may be lost there.

However, if I leave now, I can save my life. But if I can escape the first day, can I escape the fifteenth day?
Alvin knew that running away would not solve the problem.

When the cult grows to a certain size and the entire nest collapses, where can he hide?

"Let's fight! It's just one life, right?!"

The experience in the lower nest aroused Alvin's blood. He stared at the factory fiercely and cursed: "I don't believe it. Could there be a demon prince hiding in there?"

With the Navigator System, if you can’t defeat them, can you still escape?

"Switch to optical camouflage stealth mode!"

Alvin adjusted the settings, and the Mark V's outer armor refracted the light, as if it suddenly disappeared.

Having made all the necessary preparations, he no longer hesitated and flew directly towards the Tieshi Town factory. When he was getting close, he deliberately hid the energy nozzle.

Looking at the mine getting closer and closer, Alvin slowly landed and observed the abyss of the bridge in front of Ironstone Town: "The door is closed. It seems that we have to find another way to get in."

The gate leading to the interior of the mine has been completely closed.

It would be too dangerous to fly over it rashly. Even with the armor's stealth mode, we might still be discovered.

"Can you scan the route inside?" He placed his hope on the system built into the armor.

Although AI was removed, the function of the armor cannot be underestimated. The armor immediately began to scan the mine and build a three-dimensional model.

Soon, a miniature mine model projection appeared on the information display of the visor. Alvin had indeed found an extremely secret path.

"Just below the abyss!"

Now that he had found the entrance, Alvin no longer hesitated.

He controlled the armor and flew straight into the abyss under the bridge. During the fall, he found that there were traces of mining left everywhere. It was obvious that this was the ore vein mined by Tieshi Town more than 50 years ago.

When he reached the deepest bottom of the valley, Alvin confirmed his guess.

The mineral crystals exposed in the surrounding rock strata, as well as the large mining equipment that had been abandoned for a long time and had rusted in many places due to wind and sand erosion, all confirmed his speculation.

"According to the model... this road is here?"

Alvin glanced at the three-dimensional model and found the route, which was the pipeline used to dump waste and slag before the mine was abandoned.

Go straight along this pipe and you will reach the core area inside the mine.

Alvin took out the deflection pendant given by Aruman from his private space and embedded it into the core of the armor.

"Deflection position generator detected!"

"Auto-charging mode on!"

"Officially taken over the defense system!"

"Detection mode activated!"

"Armor enters full power mode!"

Looking at the pop-up prompt, Alvin sighed again, it is worthy of being a Stark product, it is so thoughtful!
Who knows what monsters are in there?
Alvin thought about it again and again, and finally took out the plasma gun. He felt a little relieved and sneered: "I want to see how much plasma a psychic can withstand!"

Loyal plasma never overheats!
And he, Alvin Valcias, the emperor's most loyal subject, will definitely not overheat!

After making all the preparations, Alvin carefully explored deeper along the pipe. In the night vision mode, although it was dark inside, he could still see everything clearly!
The abandoned pipe was filled with all kinds of mineral slag, but it was not difficult for Alvin. With the help of armor, he could easily climb over it.

"Coming……"

According to the diorama, he was not far from the exit.

Alvin was extremely alert, turned on the safety of the plasma gun in advance, slowed down his pace, and groped deeper and deeper.

But, just around the corner!

Suddenly, an extremely distorted and weird statue appeared in the armor display interface. It was several meters tall, with four jointed arms. Its face was hideous and not like a human, but it looked compassionate, as if it was praying!
"For the Emperor's sake, what the hell is this blasphemy?"

Alvin stared at the strange statue in shock, and it took him half a minute to come back to his senses.

"A large amount of debris suspected to be life has been detected!"

At this time, a prompt sounded from the armor. Alvin looked in the direction in astonishment, only to see that next to the strange statue, in the huge cave dug by the machine, it was filled with... corpses!
But, what's scary is.

The bodies abandoned in the cave were all burned by flames, and their bones were charred and carbonized.

"Check the cause and time of their death." Alvin gave the order to the armored system.

"It is suspected that he died from some kind of high-intensity fire, and the time of death was... fifty years ago!"

The system's voice shocked Alvin:

"Could these be the residents of Ironstone Town who were massacred by the Planetary Defense Force fifty years ago?!"

suddenly.

The armor system pieced together the dead humans in a graphic pattern and presented it to Alvin: "Preliminary inference is that this creature does not match human genes and is suspected to be some kind of arthropod life!"

Looking at the image, the simulated humanoid creature actually had multiple arms, and its face and skull were completely distorted. Alvin exclaimed "Oh my God!"
"Genestealer?!"
