Warhammer: Emperor's Ravenbringer

Chapter 159: The Emperor's Expedition (Part )

After leaving Malcador's workplace, Raven opened the space-time channel and went straight to the Emperor to talk about Number Eleven.

The Emperor was not in his throne room, nor in his laboratories.

Instead, he stayed alone in an empty and luxurious hall.

The hall was surrounded by huge floor-to-ceiling windows, but the heavy curtains blocked out all the light from outside, making the hall appear very dark.

Only the light from the projection stand gave the hall some light.

The holographic projection machine is very large and is installed on the dome.

The indicator light flickers and there is a continuous buzzing sound.

Countless rays of light interweave in the air, forming a huge projection.

Bright projections were suspended in the air.

It outlines the entire picture of the Milky Way.

The light reflected on the Emperor's face, and his deep eyes gazed at the stars, like the creator who controlled everything.

"You guys go wait outside. If the little girl named Pedrolani comes, remember to tell me."

Raven gave orders to the accompanying imperial guards.

They nodded and turned and walked out.

"Big guy."

The raven flapped its wings and landed next to the console.

The voice echoed in the empty hall, as if looking for a place to stay.

But it could never be found and eventually disappeared silently.

Lost in the height of the dome and the width of the hall.

The Emperor looked up at the Raven. His eyes seemed to contain the entire universe, deep and vast.

"Have you finished talking to No. 11?"

Raven nodded, "Yeah, we talked about it, it's not too bad."

"What do you mean?" The Emperor looked at the holographic console again, wondering what he was thinking.

"Tynams is loyal to humanity and puts humanity's interests first. You don't have to worry about that, big guy."

"How's No. 11 doing? Have you communicated with him?"

"The current Tenamus is dominated by the will of No. 11. After all, he is the Primarch. He has the will and power to overwhelm others and become the dominant Gestalt consciousness."

The Emperor fell into deep thought for a long time before speaking again.

"What are the chances of him defecting?"

"Higher than other Primarchs, but still in a very low range, less than 13%."

“There are still risks.”

"Nothing is without risk, big guy," said Raven. "Number 11 represents another possibility of evolution, and we cannot restrict it."

"That path is full of dangers. If one is polluted, it means the whole is polluted." The Emperor pointed out the shortcomings of Gestalt civilization. "This universe is not a good place. In addition to the Chaos Gods, there are also terrible pollution sources outside the universe."

"You have seen those polluted universes with your own eyes. Even the incarnation of the universe's consciousness is powerless in the face of those pollution sources, let alone a collective consciousness. Individuals increase the cost of management, but also increase the possibility of civilization development."

Raven agreed with the Emperor, "You have a point, but Eleven is very stubborn. He doesn't think he is wrong to choose the Gestalt path."

"Once he realizes his mistake, everything will be over." The Emperor said, "But at this stage, as long as it does not harm the interests of mankind, let him be. I will send someone to supervise him."

The Emperor reached out and magnified a certain area of ​​the projection.

"The galactic war is coming to an end. The Dark Eldar, Necromancer, and Greenskins are no longer a threat to us. The only remaining problem is the shadow that is trying to enter the galaxy."

Raven looked at the shadow the Emperor was talking about, "Tyranids?"

"Tyranids?" The Emperor asked in a surprised tone, "Do you know the origin of the shadow?"

"I got it when I was reading the message from the universe. The Tyranids are the Great Devourers, and they are eternally hungry. They only exist to devour, evolve, and expand their population."

"The evolutionary ability of the Tyranids is terrifying. They can devour other species or modify the structure or expression of their genome to continuously improve their combat effectiveness and survivability."

"They can eat all the organic matter on the planet, even bacteria and viruses, and turn the planet into a bare rock full of holes."

"There are countless of them floating around in the universe. Once they confirm that a certain galaxy has enough life forms, they will come over and try to eat everything."

"So far, no one knows how many galaxies have been eaten by them."

"That sounds like a big trouble." The Emperor frowned.

"The Tyranids are indeed a big problem. They are very large, and the part close to the Milky Way is just one of their tentacles." Raven said, "If all of them come here, I'm afraid the Milky Way will not be able to accommodate them all."

"I plan to let Horus, Fulgrim, and Russ deal with the threat posed by the Zerg, while Vulkan will be responsible for clearing out the alien forces in the galaxy and repairing the Eye of Terror."

"Where are the other Primarchs?" Raven inquired.

"Follow me to the alien universe." The Emperor said: "The Primordial Lord of the Transformers Universe has asked for the Empire's help and wants to join forces with us to defeat Unicron."

"The situation in the Transformers universe is simpler than ours. There are only mechanical life forms created by the Supreme Lord. As long as Unicron is defeated, the entire universe will be under the rule of the Empire."

Raven said: "If you are sure to join forces with Yuanshi Tianzun to deal with the Emperor of the Universe, there is one thing you must pay attention to, and that is to gain control of the will of the universe."

"The will of the universe can modify the rules and refuse the entry of life from other universes, restricting foreign life forms to the greatest extent. When we traveled through time and space before, you were unable to exert your power. It was the will of the universe that restricted you to avoid causing too much damage."

"After defeating Unicron, the Supreme Lord and Primordial Lord will most likely turn against each other and unilaterally close the cosmic passage to prevent us from continuing to enter the Transformers Universe. In that case, we will have to fight another battle."

"They can still do this?" The Emperor obviously hadn't thought of this. "Why don't they use the will of the universe to deal with the Unicron, or the Unicron uses it to deal with the Supreme Lord and Primordial Heavenly Lord?"

"They are all part of the Transformers Universe. Most of the Transformers Universe was created by them. How can they use the will of the universe to exclude each other?" Raven explained the complexity to the Emperor. "The struggle between Unicron, Supreme Taijun, and Primordial Tianzun is an internal struggle. Whoever wins will be the real controller. But we are different. We are outsiders and can easily be regarded as invaders."

"Internal fighting is internal fighting, and invasion is invasion. These are two different concepts."

"Then how do we control the will of a universe?" asked the Emperor.

Raven said: "Defeat those important people at the nodes of fate, defeat the guardians of the cosmic order, promote the empire's ideas, or massacre those who are determined not to obey the empire, and greatly increase the empire's population and territory. These methods can improve the control of the cosmic will."

"I understand." The Emperor nodded. "It seems that conquering the alien universe is not as simple as I thought."

"Once is new, twice is familiar. Once you have conquered many times, you will naturally become familiar with it."

clatter! clatter!
Footsteps were heard coming from the door.

Raven turned his head and saw it was Waldo.

"What's up? Big corn on the cob?"

"The little girl from the Capinus family is here," said Waldo.

"I see. Let her go to the reception room next door. I'll be there later." Raven nodded. "The Capinus family?" The emperor looked confused.

"Malcador arranged it. He said that this family is very loyal, and this little girl is the last descendant of this family. Perhaps she was impressed by my extraordinary wisdom, so she hoped to do an exclusive interview with me."

"Is this really the case?" The emperor rubbed his chin with his hand.

Raven rolled his eyes, "Are my achievements not enough to warrant an interview with a little girl? Big corn cob, what do you think?"

"Yes! Mr. Raven's contributions to the empire are unprecedented and will never be surpassed. The little girl from the Capinus family is very insightful and lucky to have been received by Mr. Raven." Waldo said with a flattering look on his face.

Raven nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, Waldo, you have grown a lot."

"Thank you Mr. Raven for the compliment."

Valdor's words made the Emperor want to roll his eyes.

How could his commander of the imperial guards, the King in Yellow, become like this?

"Okay, I'm going to go see the little girl." Raven said, "You can handle the expedition yourself. I support you anyway."

With that, the raven tore open space, leaped in, and disappeared.

Pedroani, who was in the reception room, was very nervous.

She fidgeted and paced back and forth, thinking about the questions she should ask later.

This is a very important meeting.

If you don't perform well, everything will be over.

She checked her clothes again.

Several servants and designers worked hard to try out many dresses for her.

She ultimately chose an elegant yet demure outfit - a creamy white gown paired with an ivory bustier that accentuated her breasts, and a rose gold mesh necklace.

The piece of jewelry snaked up from her neck and covered her forehead under a set of pearls and sapphires that looked like falling raindrops.

"You look nervous."

The voice sounded out of nowhere, and Raven walked out of the opened space channel and appeared in front of the table.

"Respected Mr. Raven, the great lord of wisdom." Pedroani was startled, and then hurriedly saluted Raven.

"I smell a nice scent. Did you bring me a gift?"

The raven's voice was very gentle, which made Pedroani's nervous mood relax a lot.

She pulled out some chips and ketchup prepared by the home chef.

"Very good, I'm very thoughtful."

Pedroani heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the raven's comment after tasting one.

I just hope Mr. Raven likes the gift I give.

"Tell me, what do you want to know?" The raven said, "You have limited time."

Such a big shot is always so busy, working hard for the welfare of mankind, Pedroani thought to himself. Thinking of this, one can't help but shed tears. Mr. Raven is really working too hard.

"Where should I take a nap later?" Raven thought to himself, "That's fine, let's go visit other laboratories, maybe there are some new flavors that I haven't reported yet!!"

"I want to know the story of you and the Emperor." Pedroani didn't dare to waste time. She planned to make good use of every minute and every second.

"My story with the Emperor? This is a long story. It has to start from the Great Unification Period. When the Emperor heard that I possessed the amazing wisdom to save all mankind, he brought Malcador and Valdor to search for me all over the world."

“At that time, I was still sleeping, wandering in the spiritual ocean of the endless world, seeking the origin of all things and the meaning of existence.”

I certainly can't tell the truth about how we first met in Navia, I have to embellish it.

Otherwise it sounds like a story about a Warp demon luring a little blond boy.

"The first time, they heard that I was sleeping in the treasure house of Karagan, the ruler of the Urshi Alliance, so they decisively launched a war and destroyed the Urshi Alliance, but they failed. Later, they heard that I was lurking in the territory of the Unspeakable King, so they sent troops to annihilate the Unspeakable King again."

"After many wars, the Emperor finally found the sculpture I had slept in on the Navian Peninsula and woke me up."

"He begged me earnestly, hoping that I could help him save humanity from danger and rebuild its former glory. I saw his infinite love for humanity, and coupled with his sincere plea, I decided to help him build the human empire."

Never trust the autobiography of a great man.

Raven said silently in his heart.

"Such a story does not need any embellishment. Just by talking about it, it will become a household name and a legendary story that is popular among the people."

Pedrolani had no doubts at all, and stars were almost coming out of his eyes.

"So what happened next? What did you go through together?"

"."

The Raven told Pedroni the story of his adventures with the Emperor.

Describing how he guided the Emperor to other universes in search of wisdom and power.

It also tells about the various crises they encountered in the alien universe and how they resolved those crises.

Of course, many stories can only be recorded and cannot be published for the time being.

These stories can only be decrypted and published in major media such as the Imperial Daily to let the world know after the Primarchs lead humans to other universes.

Pedroani was fascinated by what he heard, and he quickly recorded it on the data board with the golden memory pen in his hand, for fear of missing any details.

She never imagined that so many things happened behind the Emperor and Raven.

While Raven was being interviewed and telling those unknown stories, the Emperor summoned Malcador to arrange the expedition.

"My Immortal King, are you going to war again?" Malcador was a little surprised.

"Yes, originally I only wanted to conquer the Milky Way, but the Raven showed me the vaster world of the heavens. I want to give humans an incomparable gift. I want them to truly rule the heavens." The Emperor said, "My old friend, I will be away from Terra for a long time. The Empire will be handed over to you."

The relevant orders were quickly transmitted to the fleets where the various primarchs were located.

Except for the four Primarchs Vulkan, Russ, Horus and Fulgrim, the other Primarchs brought their children to Terra to respond to the Emperor's call.

A large-scale expedition was launched, and the news spread through the imperial network at an extremely fast speed, causing a huge sensation.

A large number of troops were recruited, and the magnificent momentum made the entire empire boil.

The magnificent war engine has emerged, the wave of conquest is unstoppable, and every soldier of the empire is full of blood, looking forward to expanding the territory for mankind.

The entire empire will unite as one and march directly towards other universes.

Wherever the Imperial fleet goes, the double-headed eagle flag will fly.
