Warhammer: Lord of the Endless Monsters

Chapter 484 The Evolution of the Mythical Beast Queen: A Battle Between Humans and Space Necromancers is Inevitable

This time, absorbing the fragments of the Cosmic Star God went very smoothly. This was the third time already. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, and this was the third time. Rhodes was already very familiar with the process.

First, they had the aliens from Mephiras and Tartarus join forces to relocate this enormous cosmic star to the vicinity of a red giant.

Only then did he allow his cosmic beasts to begin devouring, and after absorbing the fragments of the cosmic star god, they could immediately devour the energy of the red giant.

Rhodes has now also discovered that all main-sequence stars are not suitable for being devoured because their energy is compressed too tightly, and forcibly absorbing them would cause indigestion in the cosmic monsters.

Red giants are different. They have entered the final stage of their life and have expanded to their limit. Their surface energy is very sparse and easily absorbed by cosmic beasts.

The power of their minds transformed into streams of the purest cosmic energy, which were then swallowed by the cosmic beasts.

The Beast Queen Zoga greedily absorbed this powerful energy. Originally born from darkness, she now finally had the opportunity to grow into a being as powerful as her master.

Of course, this master is the former master, the dark ruler and evil god Gatanothor.

"You, you damned mortal, how dare you deceive the great god, how dare you mock the great god! You will pay the price!" The fragment of the cosmic star god roared angrily after discovering that its power had been absorbed.

These damned mortals, how dare they, how dare they harm a god, a true god!
"Your era is long gone. You are nothing but a thing of the past in the universe. Accept your fate!" Rhodes said with a cold snort.

From the moment I absorbed the first fragment of a cosmic star god, all the star gods in this world were destined to die.

These physical universes give birth to law gods who are not benevolent beings; on the contrary, they are all extremely evil. Eliminating them would actually be beneficial to the real universe.

The Cosmic Star God was furious and hurled insults at Rhodes, but when he realized that his primal power was being absorbed and that he was about to disappear from the universe, he realized that he was about to disappear.

It began to show an expression of extreme terror. Although it was a fragment, it had inherited the memories and divine power of the original body. If it died like this, the original body would not be able to return. Without a fragment, the power of the original body would be lost, and it would become an incomplete existence.

"No, don't hurt me. I can impart endless knowledge to you. Our minds control the physical laws of the universe. Do you humans need a faster-than-light engine?"

"Do you need space folding technology? I have all of that. Just release me, just release me, and I'll give it to you." The fragment of the cosmic star god before him began to beg for mercy from Rhodes.

"Hehe! I still prefer your unruly self from just now. How about you come back to your old self?" Rhodes said.

The faster-than-light engine already exists, and the Empire is now preparing for large-scale mass production. Soon, all Imperial battle barges and ordinary merchant ships will be equipped with faster-than-light engines, enabling faster-than-light travel for distances under a thousand light-years.

As for space jumps, Rhodes also possesses this ability, which resides in the peerless Iron God Impreza. However, current human scientific capabilities are insufficient to replicate it.

Therefore, what you possess is priceless to other civilizations in this universe, but worthless to me.

Your most valuable asset is the cosmic energy within you.

"My mind represents the supreme law of this universe. If you kill me, then the laws of this world will be incomplete."

Those space necromancers don't dare kill us. Killing us would destabilize the real universe and allow it to be invaded by those vile warp scum.

Those Warp scum are the real villains! The reason we wanted to exterminate the Old Ones was because they had some kind of cooperation with the Warp.

"If we are killed, it will be like doing the ancient races a huge favor. Are you helping the warp invade the real universe?" the Star God said.

“What happens in his space is none of your concern, old fogey. It’s been sealed for so many years, and the loss of you hasn’t affected the real universe much,” Rhodes said.

At the same time, he commanded his cosmic beast to speed up the devouring process.

I will naturally defeat the Chaos God in the future warp, and I will not need the help of you new gods. You are just a bunch of losers.

In its final moments, the fragments of the Star God continued to hurl mad curses at Rhodes until they were completely absorbed.

After all the cosmic beasts absorbed the fragments of the Star God, their bodies underwent changes. First, their energy levels underwent a qualitative change, and they also gained the ability to devour the power of stars.

Next, Rhode repeated the process, accelerating the flow of time throughout the entire galaxy. He spent another ten days or so speeding up the timeline here by tens of thousands of times, allowing the cosmic beasts to successfully absorb the power of the red giant star. Once again, a dark stellar core remained, which Rhode collected. The cosmic beasts all grew in size, now generally reaching the kilometer level.

The biggest change is to the Beast Queen. Her size has increased to over 3000 meters, and her energy has increased at least several times. The current Beast Queen can truly be called a queen; before, she was just a small Karami.

“Great master! Now I can hatch 10 small cosmic beasts, Zoga, a day, and their size will reach 5 meters, their wingspan will reach 8 meters, and their strength will at least double.” Zoga, the Beast Queen, immediately reported the good news to Rhodes that her power had been enhanced.

The number of young writers that can be incubated has increased, and their quality has also improved.

“Very good! Next, you will conceive two powerful offspring for my two subordinates. It will take more time and energy. Can you conceive even more powerful offspring?” Rhodes asked.

After all, they were the first Space Marines to follow him, and Rhodes didn't want Titus and Tidaros to suffer a loss, so he gave them the standard version of the miniature Zoga.

"It took me a month to nurture only two purple ones. At most, I can nurture them to the level of 10 meters, with a wingspan of 16 meters. Their strength can reach 1/10 of a normal cosmic mythical beast. This is my limit," said Zoga, the Mythical Beast Queen.

“No problem, let’s begin the process!” Rhodes said.

After dealing with the Space Necromancer Overlord and the Star God, Rhodes returned to his territory and met with the Holy Blood Angels, who had been living there for more than half a month and were completely unaware of what had happened.

However, eliminating the space necromantic overlord was no problem for them. After all, the Empire's attitude towards aliens was always the same: this evil alien should be eliminated.

Rhodes also entered the subspace and told Saint Gilles about the matter.

"??? Won't this provoke the resentment of the space undead? Won't they directly start a war with the human empire?" Saint Gilles asked.

"If I don't do this, will they not go to war with us? Don't be so naive, Saint Gilles. Ten thousand years ago, only one of the space undead, the Endless One Tarasin, awakened."

Currently, various space necromantic dynasties are undergoing a resurgence, and we humans, as the undisputed overlords of the Milky Way, are certainly the first to be affected.

The undead in space have decided to reclaim their former glory and territory, so there is an irreconcilable conflict between them and us humans, and a war is inevitable.

"They are not the fallen Eldar; they are a former galactic overlord on the verge of resurgence," Rhodes said.

In any case, the Space Necromancer race must be wiped out, and as for Rhodes the Fearful Ones, they will be sent to star systems outside the Milky Way to live, such as the Andromeda Galaxy.

With the technology of the Space Necromancers, plus some of Rhodes's technology, immigration will not be a problem. The Space Necromancers will corrupt a portion of them from within, and the rest will be eliminated by Rhodes and the Emperor.

This is also a test for the human race. If you want to become the most powerful overlord in the galaxy, then you must challenge the former overlord and defeat him head-on.

“I know what you mean, but are we really ready now?” Saint Gilles asked.

The human empire is developing rapidly, but they still need time to absorb all the power of the faster-than-light engine, the new Titans, and the superhuman drugs used by the ordinary imperial army before they can maximize their combat power.

"We are not ready, but do you think the space necromancers are? They are not fully awakened either, and the necromancer dynasty is not unified internally."

After all, even if the king knew about this, he would need at least several decades, or even hundreds of years, to prepare for revenge!

Don't worry, I've already planned it out. Once I return to Holy Terra, I will launch the Unyielding Expedition to conquer all the lost Empire worlds and even bring those worlds on the edge of the galaxy under my control.

"After this expedition is over, we will prepare for a full-scale war against the space undead," Rhodes said.

“I understand, Rhodes. I will do everything I can to help you,” Saint Gilles nodded and said.

In the world of Ultramar 500, Leandroth, a former priest of the Ultramarines Chapter, is kneeling before a strange being.

“It’s all fake. The so-called Astartes Codex is just a hoax. The Father of Genes betrayed us, deceived me, and betrayed my faith,” Leandro said.

He gave everything for the Astartes Codex, only to be told by the Father of Genetics that it was worth less than a piece of toilet paper!
His faith completely collapsed.
