Warhammer: Lord of the Endless Monsters

Chapter 156: Pure Bloodline Perfect for Imperial Guard Transformation

After all the high lords left, Inquisitor Lacino walked up to Kania, patted him on the shoulder, and shook his head.

A female scientist from the Golden Age, if she really had mastered some lost technology.

Then the Martian Mechanicus would immediately skin her and take out her brain.

The knowledge within is then extracted and anyone who threatens the reign of Om Messiah is eliminated by them.

Even if she surrendered to the Empire, no one in the Empire could protect this female scientist. The power of the Martian Mechanicus was simply too great!

Even the state religion was suppressed by them. They controlled all the forge worlds and all the industrial capacity of the empire.

The High Lords were also unable to shake the position of the Martian Mechanicus. If the Golden Throne had not been completely beyond repair, the Martian Mechanicus would not have agreed to let them seek help from the Haemolects.

"You know, there's no way we can change anything. There's too much involved."

“I understand, but if the Empire does not make changes and allows those people of the Martian Mechanicus to do whatever they want.

I'm afraid our human empire has reached a moment of life and death." Kania sighed.

For a full ten thousand years, there was no technological progress in the human empire.

These members of the Martian Mechanicum have monopolized a type of Imperial medium tank technology for 1 years and have strictly controlled production!
There was once a mechanical genius on a planet who designed a Fire Snake tank with superior performance and higher production volume.

He excitedly took his research results to the headquarters of the Martian Mechanicus and applied for mass production.

But in the end, the approval process took hundreds of years, and the genius never got the result until he died of old age.

After the death of this genius, these bastards called machines immediately lifted the production restrictions on the Fire Hydra tanks and began to focus on producing the anti-defense improved train tanks, which were directly suppressed.

The Grand Magus Belisarius Kaur of the Martian Mechanicus was also tortured by his colleagues. The Martian Mechanicus was not a monolithic entity, and the various Grand Magus fought overtly and covertly.

So they cannot develop at all, and they do not allow anyone to master technology that exceeds their level.

All technologies must be discovered through archaeology and must not be self-researched.

"No one can change them. Even the repair of weapons by the Imperial Guards or the forging of new golden armors have to be done by these Martian Mechanicus." Rashino said.

"Oh!" Kania sighed helplessly and turned away.

This empire has become extremely corrupt!

Everything has become corrupt, even the God-Emperor sitting on the throne cannot escape this rotten fate.

Corruption shrouded the entire empire, but some people were unwilling to change this status quo for their own interests.

Early the next morning, the three high lords came with several sage maintenance personnel from the Martian Mechanicum to pick up Rhodes and Helotia.

Although Holy Terra is the capital and core world of the entire empire, the air pollution here is also very serious.

Only the Himalayas located on the plateau still retain some fresh air, which is completely incomparable to the 3K era tens of thousands of years ago.

The Martian Mechanicus took out some red robes for Rhodes and Helotia to wear, then put fake hoods on them and assigned them fake identities as mechanical apprentices.

"I have already registered you as apprentices within the Mechanicus. You will follow me in later. As long as you can pass the genetic test, there will be no problem. The Imperial Guards will not stop you." The technical priest of the Martian Mechanicus spoke.

Some low-level apprentices have not undergone any mechanical transformation, and can deceive the imperial guards with the help of high lords' endorsement.

Rhodes and Helodia nodded and put on the red oil-covered old robe and a mechanical mask.

Damn, it smells like motor oil, candles and holy oil. It's so bad!

The group arrived at the gate of the palace, then passed the inspection of the Imperial Guards and then entered the core inner area, where some imperial guards wearing golden armor and about 3 meters tall were stationed.

There are usually many people coming in and out of the Imperial Palace, such as the Star Speaker Court and the Star Torch Psychics, who are escorted into the palace by the Imperial Guards every day.

"He who comes is stopped!"

"Imperial Guards, I am the High Lord of the Empire. We are here with the people of the Martian Mechanicus to maintain and service the Golden Throne." The three High Lords immediately stepped forward and spoke.

"I need to verify the identity information." The imperial guard in front of him said expressionlessly.

"This is our identity information. There is a technical priest and two apprentices." The high lord on the side nodded and took out an electronic panel and handed it to the imperial guards, asking them to check and compare the list with the imperial database.

"There is no problem with the information. Now we will conduct genetic testing. Everyone must do it." After verifying everyone's information.

Another Guardsman took out a genetic testing system and conducted genetic tests on the three High Lords, the Tech-Priests of the Mechanicus, and the Imperial Inquisitor Rasino.

Next came Rhode and Helotia. They each left a strand of hair. When checking their genetic information, the two guards were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other. "You are all fine, and one of you is of pure Ancient Terra descent. Which family are you from?" A guard came up to Rhode and asked.

Such pure bloodline is very popular among their Imperial Guard Order, generally human nobles with such pure bloodline.

All of them are candidates for training as imperial guards. After their offspring are born, they will be sent to the palace for genetic engineering transformation into imperial guards.

Although their survival rate is relatively low, they are the best targets for transformation into the Imperial Guards.

"I have been an orphan since childhood, so I don't know which ancient family I come from. Mr. Imperial Guard, is there something wrong with my genes?" Rhodes said.

"Have you fully joined the Martian Mechanicus? Do you have a wife or offspring?" the Imperial Guard asked.

"Two Lords of the Imperial Guards! Is there any problem?" At this time, the High Lord also came over and asked.

“His genetic testing is very ancient, and his human bloodline is extremely pure.

His direct descendants can undergo surgical modification to become a Custodian, and his child can become a Custodian."

"If you are not married, we can arrange a suitable wife for you.

But of your children, girls and boys are allowed to keep one.

After the other children are born, we will take them away to become a glorious imperial guard." Another imperial guard said.

Every human with pure bloodline is extremely precious, and a bloodline that has never been intermarried with other Terra families is even more precious.

Inquisitor Lacino and several high lords looked at each other. Could it be that this bodyguard was also from the Golden Age? Otherwise, his genes couldn't be so pure?

If this is the case, then it is worth winning over.

"You are a member of the Mechanicus. If you are willing to leave the Mechanicus, we can make you a Terran noble.

If you are wholeheartedly committed to Om Messiah, we will not force you.

But you can contribute your genetic material, and your offspring will become a glorious Custodian."

This sounded familiar to Rhode! When he first crossed over, a certain secretary nun had the same plan!
So my bloodline is not only pure, but my descendants can also reform the imperial guards?

Or, is it that his physical genes after being strengthened by the monster are very excellent, making these imperial guards jealous?
Monster enhancement does not modify its own genes, it just strengthens it, which seems to be very similar to the Imperial Guards to some extent.

"Your Excellencies, the Imperial Guards? Let's talk about this matter after they have finished repairing the Golden Throne!
I think this news is a bit too much for this apprentice!"

"I understand. Come with me!" A guard nodded to his companions and led Rhodes and others into the palace.

The remaining Imperial Guard took out a communicator and directly contacted the highest-ranking leader of the Imperial Guard, Captain Trajan himself.

The genetic test results just now shocked them all. The other party's genetic purity was ridiculously high and extremely pure.

Just like a blank sheet of paper, this pure gene is very suitable for the biological alchemy transformation of the Imperial Guard.

And the success rate is very high, his bloodline must be kept in the empire.

"I remember your name is Rhodes, right? Are you interested in serving the empire in the future?" asked a high lord.

Even if this female scientist could be won over, she would definitely be murdered by the Martian Mechanicus, and they wouldn't dare to say anything, so it was not worth winning her over.

But this bodyguard is different. If he can marry into his own family, then his descendants will become a royal guard, which is very important.

"Hahaha! I don't have this idea at the moment." Rhodes said.

"Would you be willing to donate some of your genetic material? We can buy it for a lot of money."

"."Rod.

Damn it, you are spending a lot of money to have a child, right?
"Think about it, Mr. Rhodes! This matter will only benefit you, not harm you." Several high lords kept persuading Rhodes along the way.

He even euphemistically indicated that it would be okay for Rhodes to marry as many wives as he wanted.

Rhodes didn't say anything, and the group came to the golden throne. As soon as they reached the door, a voice came into Rhodes' mind.

“The outsider, the ancient one, the trickster, the last hope of mankind, my successor, my terminator, you and I are finally here.

No! I'm going to kill him! You can't end me!
This is my fate, darkness, go back! Never come out again."

Rhodes felt as if his head was about to explode, as if countless people were talking to him, or as if there were only two of them.
