I'm in Warhammer, please don't praise Doraemon

Chapter 166: Elytra Sanguinius
Is that Mephiston, the chief think tank who looks like a corpse?
Zhou Yun raised his eyebrows slightly.

Mephiston is one of the most powerful psykers in the Empire.

It is impossible for an infiltration like Di Xi's group to hide from Mephiston's psychic power.

"And, my Lord, now the entire Angel Castle has undergone great changes."

Di Xi sorted out his words and said:

"Chapter Master Dante has issued an order. Excavations are being carried out within a radius of several thousand meters around the Angel Castle."

"Those ancient buildings that were buried by thousands of years of wind and sand were excavated and used as residences for the assembled angels."

"They even discovered an ancient and sturdy city wall, which became the new shield of Angel Castle."

Hearing this, Zhou Yun nodded slightly.
He knew something about this.

With Guilliman splitting the former Legion into Chapters of a thousand, the Blood Angels on Baal were no longer enough to fill the Angel Castle that once housed the Legion.
Most of the ancient fortress was submerged by the yellow sands of Baal over the past ten thousand years, leaving only the core area.
But as the support of the sub-groups arrived, Chapter Master Dante ordered the blood slaves to dig out the lost parts of the Angel Castle again.
Old bunkers, towers, meeting rooms and city walls were discovered, and the area of ​​​​Angelo Castel was expanded to several thousand meters in width.

It was a fortress that was strong and large enough. It was where the angels led the legion in the past. It was also the best place to resist the invasion of the Zerg.

But Zhou Yun guessed that the remains of Saint Gilles should still be stored in the core area, which has never been buried by the yellow sand.
The old map should still be usable, allowing Zhou Yun to use the magic door to sneak into the Angel Castle quietly.

"All we need is a map of the former core area."

Zhou Yun looked at Di Xi and the old one-eyed man and said:
"Clues are fine too."

Di Xi was silent for a moment, then said, "My Lord, we have only been on this planet for about three months."

"But a group of evil creatures have already sneaked into Baal and are lurking in the desert. They may have a map of the interior of Angel Castle."

When the old one-eyed man heard what Di Xi said, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Are you talking about the gene stealers?"

"Yes, indeed." The old one-eyed man nodded: "These guys seem to know Baal very well."

"This group of bastards had previously intended to corrupt the refugees from Asford, but fortunately we know a lot about them and found their whereabouts by following the clues."

"However, when the angels came to support us and encircled and suppressed them together with us, this group of damn mutant monsters suddenly disappeared in the desert without a trace."

"We speculate that these gene stealers may have quietly sneaked into Baal many years ago, and have been lurking in the desert for hundreds of years, quietly and slowly developing their power and investigating intelligence in Baal."

"It was only recently, when the Zerg was about to arrive, that these guys started to become slightly active. We just happened to catch them red-handed and exposed them."

Listening to Di Xi and the old one-eyed man's words, Zhou Yun pinched his chin and fell into thought.
Genestealers. Indeed, Genestealers did appear in the Battle of Baal not long after.
Moreover, they cooperated with a Licat to sneak into the interior of Angel Castle, attacked the Blood Coffin Hall where new recruits were trained, and took the opportunity to destroy the Void Shield of Angel Castle.
They obviously have a good understanding of the situation in Angel Castle.

It seems that the Tyranids have been preparing to invade Baal for a long time, perhaps even hundreds of years ago.

The Genestealers infected by the Zerg must have been extremely cautious, so they quietly lurked on Baal and collected information that was extremely useful to the Zerg.
They must have a map of the interior of Angel Castle.

But for Zhou Yun, it is not difficult to find them. Zhou Yun has a cane in his hand.
With enough information, he could easily find anyone.

"Tell me the information about this group of Genestealers lurking on Baal. The more specific the better."

Zhou Yun looked at Di Xi and the old one-eyed man and said.

"This matter dates back to when we first came to Barr and had not yet separated."

The old one-eyed man said:
"In the beginning, most of the refugees on Lesio believed in Saint Doraemon or Sister Magda, while a large number of the refugees on Asford only believed in Saint Guillemos."

"We believe that it doesn't matter whether you believe in Sanguinius, San Doraemon, the Emperor himself or the local faith of Lysio, it doesn't matter, after all, the ultimate enemy is the same."

"Unless they follow a twisted cult of Genestealers."

Di Xi continued on behalf of the old one-eyed man:
"We have always been on guard against this possibility. My sisters quietly lurked around the group of believers who believed in Saint Gilles, and found a small base and church of theirs."

"These Genestealers may not have received information about Asford from the Zerg. They don't understand our capabilities and underestimate us, the assassins of the Death Cult."

"My sisters and I have sneaked into their strongholds and churches and found that they do believe in Sanguinius, but the Sanguinius we understand is different."

Listening to Di Xi's words, Zhou Yun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He seemed to have guessed what would happen next. Gene stealers didn't only believe in the Four-Armed Emperor. They would often iterate their tactics and develop new twisted beliefs based on local needs.

For example, in the Forge World, the Blade Om Messiah may be developed, and in the Five Hundred World, Queen Guilliman may be developed.

If you happen to invade the demon world, there might be creatures like the Mating Slaanesh, the Brain-worm Tzeentch, the Horned Khorne, and the Dung Beetle Nurgle.

The winged figure in the white light in the corner of his eyes also shook his wings slightly, and he seemed to be a little overwhelmed.

"The Sanguinius they worship does not have pure white wings, but two pairs of scaly wings of the Coleoptera, like flies, insects and wasps."

"In their teachings, Sanguinius did not really die, but fell asleep in a bug egg after being seriously injured."

"When the fateful moment arrives, an angel-encased egg will fall from the sky, and Sanguinius will rise from it, spreading his scaly wings."

"At that time, all Genestealers who believe in it will be integrated into Sanguinius's eggs and enjoy eternal life with the angels."

Di Xi paused for a moment, then said softly:

"They call their faith Sanguinius the Elytra."

"Elytra Sanguinius."

Mephiston murmured the blasphemous name,
The Genestealers, who had suffered genetic corruption, distorted the pure faith in the Archangels, turning it into blasphemous heresy to deceive the residents of Baal, tempting them to fall into it and be corrupted.

After learning of the existence of this blasphemous cult, almost every Blood Angel fell into anger.
It was on Baal, home of the Gene-Father, the homeworld of the Blood Angels, that this group of twisted aliens developed such a blasphemous cult.

The Blood Angels never noticed
But Mephiston understood that this was almost an inevitable outcome.
The Zerg had obviously been quietly targeting Baal.

Among these Genestealers that infiltrated Baal, there should be some powerful psykers, who used this to evade the detection of the Think Tank.

Baal itself is covered by desert, and there are many caves, tunnels and ancient buildings under the endless yellow sand.

The Genestealers were very careful and slowly expanded their power, previously completely hidden in the desert.

It was almost impossible for the Blood Angels to imagine that there was such a group of blasphemous aliens hiding in Baal.

If they had not tried to corrupt the refugees from the Hades system this time, the Blood Angels might not have discovered the existence of this Genestealer sect until the Zerg arrived, let alone found their settlement.
However, Mephiston predicted through the blasphemous prophecy of the Octonauts that Lictor would soon appear in the settlement of Genestealers, and found the specific location of this settlement.
This place is hidden in the deepest part of the Bal Desert, in the endless yellow sand, in a complex tunnel system under the sand dunes.

These tunnels may be sewer systems dating back tens of thousands of years, and even the Blood Angels are unaware of their existence.

Mephiston stood at one of the entrances to the pipe system.

The prophecy of the Eight-Faced Monster not only points out the location of Licart and the Genestealer Sect,

It also revealed the identity of the so-called "Saint Doraemon" to Mephiston, a candidate for multiple positions in the subspace.

Mephiston chose to investigate the Genestealers first, as he believed that Santa Doraemon was clearly more dangerous than the Genestealers.

He still remembered the eight-faced monster whose head suddenly exploded in front of him. The alien wizard that the Blood Angels had tried to kill for three thousand years had died with his head exploding simply because he mentioned the name of Saint Doraemon.

Even though Mephiston possessed psychic powers far beyond common sense, he did not dare to investigate Him rashly.

A breeze suddenly blew, and sand mixed with radiant light hit his unique power armor.

His power armor was different from others, like the exposed muscle tissue of a skinned person, with every muscle fiber carved out of ceramic steel.

The color of Mephiston's power armor is also darker than that commonly used by the Blood Angels. It is a pulsating crimson that flashes bloody light under the scarlet light of the Sun of Baal.

But Mephiston had no fear of exposure.

As an Astartes, his huge size meant that no physical disguise he knew of could conceal his identity unless he disguised himself as one of those demented aberrations.

So Mephiston chose to use the psychic power of the Supreme Being. He used his powerful psychic power to embed several layers of extremely complex cognitive distortions in his body to ensure that he would be regarded as a companion by those gene stealers and would not attract attention.

Mephiston stepped into the pipe.
