Warhammer: Lord of the Endless Monsters

Chapter 481 The Arrival of the Necromancer Overlord, Rhodes' God-Level Operation
For over a month, Rhode remained on the Beast Planet, spending time with his three wives: two Meilin tribe girls and a Spirit Clan goddess. (Actually, there were four; there was also a Spirit Clan goddess of love.)
Life was quite leisurely, and occasionally they could even travel to other star systems, to the Nest City world, to hold a grand procession, to let their people meet the true masters of this place, and to receive the greetings of the local planetary governor.

Rhodes' territory was newly established, and all the colonies here were brand new, so the population here was also immigrants from other parts of the Empire by Guilliman.

To avoid arousing Rhodes' suspicion, Guilliman deliberately did not relocate the people from the Ultramar 500 world, where the people had accepted the Ultramarines' rule for ten thousand years, and their recognition of the Ultramarines was deeply rooted.

If they were allowed to colonize other planets, they would only turn those places into territory for the Ultramarines, even if Rhodes held the title of lord.

So from the very beginning, Guilliman never intended for people from his own world of Alteramar to appear in Rhodes' territory.

Most of them are refugees who were forced to evacuate from overpopulated hive worlds, or from orcish invasions or chaos invasions.

Humans are highly adaptable; basically, with a little modification, a new colony can be put into use.

In just a few decades, human populations will be able to adapt to the environment and build cities.

After visiting the Hive City world, Rhodes traveled to the Foundry world, or more accurately, the Industrial world.

Because precautions had been taken in advance, the Mechanicus personnel under Rhodes were mostly arranged by Belisarius Caul, and later replaced by apprentices of Helotia.

These technical priests have also embraced new ideas and no longer use machinery to modify their bodies. However, the worship of the god Om Messiah will take a long time to eradicate, as it is not something that can be done overnight.

The Emperor is also helping to gradually diminish the influence of the God of All Machines, and the state religion is also cooperating!
Rhodes's forging industry has incorporated many of Osei's advanced technologies, resulting in extremely high production capacity. It possesses the ability to independently develop Titan units, as well as Knight mechs, various power armors, power weapons, explosive weapons, laser weapons, and even Pedanium weapons.

As for building large ships, the faster-than-light engine has been replicated and can now be installed on some of the human empire's ships. In the Rhodes Territory, faster-than-light engines are basically used for flight, and the longest distance can be reached in just over ten days.

Although space travel is slightly slower than space travel, it is safer, and faster-than-light travel can also bring the people in the territory closer together.

The agricultural world has the smallest population, basically only a few million. Each person is responsible for a large area of ​​land for industrialized livestock farming, and crops cover the entire planet. The environment here is not very good.

This area primarily provides sufficient food for Rhodes' territory and even facilitates trade by supplying food to other regions.

In just over a month, Rhodes only managed to inspect some important aspects of the world, because his long-awaited guest had already arrived at the outer edge of the galaxy.

Rhodes boarded his mothership and traveled into the cosmos to meet with the fleet of Anlakel, the space necromantic overlord and traveler.

The Necropolis of Space is a green pyramid-shaped structure, about the size of a planet's satellite. Next to it is a small human escort ship, a vessel belonging to a company of the Blood Angels.

"Is this the ship of Rhodes, the Primarch of the human genome? You humans have actually mastered faster-than-light travel?" Traveler Anlakel asked, looking at the mothership, which appeared to be the size of a satellite on the radar.

They can travel faster than light, and their size is only slightly smaller than that of the undead. This level of technology is enough to make the space undead take them seriously. Indeed, the human race should not be underestimated.

"Our human race has not yet fully mastered faster-than-light travel. Currently, only a portion of the Imperial ships are equipped with faster-than-light engines, allowing travel within a range of several hundred light-years."

"Traveling faster than light would be safer, but for distances of thousands or even tens of thousands of light-years, we'll stick to hydraulic space travel," said the Blood Angels Company Commander standing to the side.

In recent years, some human ships have been equipped with faster-than-light engines, but the production of faster-than-light engines is still very low.

It simply cannot meet the needs of the Empire's enormous size, and using thousands of light-years within a few hundred light-years is not as practical as warp travel.

After all, a voyage can take hundreds of years, and it would be completely unprofitable to just transport some weapons, ammunition, or supplies.

Subspace travel will still be retained in the future, and faster-than-light travel will make connections between different worlds closer, and such travel will be safer over short distances.

“The human race is truly exceptional. We, the Fearless, have encountered many civilizations in the galaxy, and apart from the Ancient races, you humans are the most perfect intelligent species we have ever seen,” said the traveler Anlakel.

The Aidalings were creations of the Old Ones, and strictly speaking, they were merely pets kept by the Old Ones; they were not worth considering. As for the Orcish Krog, they were indeed very savage, with explosive combat power, even capable of forcing the Space Necromancers into a deep sleep.

However, in this era, as long as half of the space necromancers awaken, the orcs can be wiped out of the galaxy. Of course, this is on the premise that the awakened space necromancers are mentally sound. If they are not, then it won't work!
Their race's biggest drawback is that after sleeping for 60 million years, their minds have become extremely abnormal. Some small dynasties have even been completely swallowed up by the dust of history, either by the Aidarlings, the orcs, the humans, or even alien races.

The human race is the only one that natural evolution has made them respectable. If humans were to develop in this way for tens of thousands of years, they might very well reach the level that their fearful race once was.

Just then, a blue light flashed within the Traveler Anlakel's tomb ship. Rhodes immediately activated the teleportation function, bringing several genetic offspring to the Traveler Anlakel's ship.

As the saying goes, skill breeds daring; even the flagship of the Necromancer's tomb in space, I dare to break in single-handedly.

Anyway, with Tartarus and the Angel of Destruction Zog backing him up, Rhodes has nothing to fear.

"Thank you for the compliment! We humans still have a long way to go, but you are right about one thing."

"Our human race is not much worse than the ancient saint race, and one day we will definitely surpass the ancient saint race." Rhodes said with a smile.

"Amazing teleportation technology. This isn't psionic teleportation, nor is it phase teleportation that we control," Anlakel said, looking at Rhodes with great interest.

He had originally planned to use phase teleportation to directly land on the other party's ship! But he didn't expect the other party to arrive first.

"Lord Anlakel, our phase teleportation cannot reach his ship. Their ship has a very strong shield." The tomb engineer secretly sent a secret message to his undead overlord.

The traveler Anlakel had just ordered them to prepare for phase teleportation, intending to teleport to Rhodes' ship, but after trying for a long time, they found that an energy shield could not be broken.

“Oh! I understand!” Traveler Anlakel nodded to his tomb engineer, then turned to look at Rhodes.

"Welcome! I am Anlakel, the space necromancer overlord of the XXX Dynasty, who has come to visit the Human Empire on the orders of the Silent King," Anlakel said.

"As far as I know, our two races don't get along very well."

"After you space undead awakened, the first thing you did was attack our human empire. What makes you think we should live in peace and even communicate with you?" Rhodes asked.

“I have come with goodwill. Many of our races have indeed attacked you humans, but you humans occupied our territory first,” said the traveler Anlakel.

“Hehe! Let’s get straight to the point, Traveler Anlakel. I admire you quite a bit. Would you like to come and serve me?” Rhodes said something that left Traveler Anlakel completely baffled.

“Lord Rhodes, did I mishear you? Or is there something wrong with my metal chip? Could you repeat what you just said?” Traveler Anlakel’s tone was somewhat displeased.

The Holy Blood Angels standing to the side also sensed a tense atmosphere and quickly came to Rhodes' side to state their position.

Rhodes smiled at the Blood Angels company commander beside him, then snapped his fingers. A burst of blue light teleported the other party directly back to his mothership. You'd better not read what follows.

"To be honest, you came here this time to investigate the resurrection of the Fearful Dead, right?"
"I can tell you, you've come to the right place. I do indeed possess the ability to resurrect you space undead and restore you to your appearance from 60 million years ago," Rhodes said.

"You! What did you say? Resurrection!!" Traveler Anlakel's expression turned serious as he looked at Rhodes with a shocked gaze.

At the same time, Zog the Destroyer and Tartarus attacked together. The two powerful bosses instantly suppressed the minds of all the space undead on the entire ship and then easily found the core of the tomb world.

Anlakel never dreamed that Rhodes would turn on her so suddenly and so quickly.
