I'm in Warhammer, I just want to grow mushrooms

Chapter 323 This moment is just like that moment.

"Boss, something's wrong with the warp... Zzzzz—"

The sounds of wild beasts were transmitted through the relay station.

Li Nuo temporarily abandoned observing Pharos's transformation and switched his consciousness to the space body.

The Paru Fleet is currently deployed along the route, providing tight security for the network nodes and network gates.

Space and Beasts, stationed at the transit node, remotely observe the subspace conditions of Alteramar through the subspace rift opened by the subspace fishing ship.

When Lino was searching for Pharos, he discovered that the subspace of Alterama had a tendency to solidify.

Red, blue, purple, and green—these four colors of subspace energy are placed in specific corners of the subspace by an invisible force, while the remaining subspace energy is randomly distributed within the area enclosed by these four colors.

The scene before us is even more exaggerated than what we've seen before.

Red, blue, purple, and green stand at the four corners, while the mixed subspace energy in the middle is a mixture of colors, with a color close to black.

If we project the subspace coordinates of these colors onto the real universe, the four colors correspond exactly to the four cardinal directions of Otlam, with the black in the middle being the location of the central zone.

As is well known, the capital of the Central District of Otlama is Macurag, where Robert Guilliman personally oversees the administration.

What would happen in the real universe if that dark subspace energy gathered towards him?

Li Nuo looked at the amniotic fluid tank:
"Can you see the situation in the central partition?"

“I’ll give it a try.” Pampa closed his eyes, and the holographic images switched according to his consciousness.

A few minutes later, Pampa successfully broke through the dimensional barrier between the subspace and the real universe, turning his gaze toward Macurag.

The human empire is at war with the garrison of the central district.

Cyclone torpedoes, atmospheric incineration torpedoes, and bipolar torpedoes—three of the Empire's most abundant extinction weapons—were thrown out like they were free.

The Omniscient God Cult's forces employed various defense methods, including laser defense matrices, electromagnetic interference, and plasma macro-bombs, but to no avail. If even one extinction weapon failed to be intercepted, the planet would face annihilation.

What was presented to the Palu beastmen at this moment was this scroll:
The planets are burning, the void is howling, and the negative energy in the warp is forming towering waves.

As it turns out, when the human empire decides to wage a war of annihilation, what awaits the enemy is nothing but a cold death.

"Strange, what exactly is the purpose of those different types of subspace energy?"

Li Nuo muttered to himself, puzzled.

The war in the real universe is proceeding normally, seemingly unaffected by the subspace.

The Omniscient Church's fighting power was not enhanced by the anomalies in warp energy, nor was the Empire of Man's fleet weakened.

The only drawback is that, due to warp anomalies, the Imperial fleet is unable to navigate through the warp.

But this is not a big problem.

The routes explored by the Palu orcs and the Eldar have numerous branches, enough to deploy the human empire's fleet wherever they wish.

In theory, as long as the Palu Orcs guard the Webway and prevent the enemy from destroying the Webway gates leading to and from the real universe, the human empire's fleet will be invincible.

But if that's the case, what's the point of anomalies in the subspace?

Why go to such great lengths?

This question wasn't just puzzling for Li Nuo; Makado and Horus were equally perplexed.

Ah, if only the God-Emperor could respond to Horus and Makado.

Why is it that the weasel disappears when it comes to crucial moments?

Li Nuo muttered a few complaints to himself.

Pampa, inside the amniotic fluid jug, said:
"Boss, there's a change in the energy of the subspace."

Pampa closed his eyes, projecting what he saw onto the holographic screen.

Every minute, countless lives are dying here in Otlama.

The negative emotions they generate are projected into the subspace, where they are absorbed by subspace energy, causing the subspace energy to change color.

More and more energies of various kinds appeared in the subspace, and they were all sorted out and placed in different categories.

At the same time, the four sub-space energies, which were originally separated in the four directions, began to contract inward at a uniform speed, as if squeezing the black energy in the middle.

A thought flashed through Li Nuo's mind:
"Suppose that the subspace energies of the four colors will eventually compress the black energy into a small dot. Calculate the spatial coordinates of this small dot in the real universe."

"Hmm." Dongdong, the kid, started typing away on the keyboard.

The indicator light on the calculator was flashing wildly.

A few minutes later, a black dot appeared on the holographic star map of the real universe. That place was the Hera Fortress in Macragge, where Robert Guilliman was located.

Li Nuo raised his eyebrows, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

Pharos, who was modified by Dark Oil Man and Tzeentch, possesses both the positive and negative polarities of Blackstone.

It can project an object from one location in the real universe to another location in the real universe via subspace.

Does that mean that if something is already in the subspace, Pharos can also project it to a specific location in the real universe?

When the subspace energy, carrying a massive amount of negative emotions, is projected into the real universe by the five Pharos in concert and affects Hera Fortress, what will happen next...?

Li Nuo's pupils dilated, and he braced himself on the railing with both hands, leaning forward:
"Send a communication request to Makado."

"Okay, boss." The noisy kid operated the device for a moment, "Boss, the communication channel is severely congested, the signal strength is very poor, and it is suspected to be affected by full-band interference."

Li Nuo points to Pampa:

"Simulate the subspace communication frequency of the Star Speakers and attempt to contact Makado, Horus, and the chief Star Speakers beside them."

"Ah!" Knowing the situation was urgent, Pampa immediately closed his eyes and focused all his energy on adjusting the psionic frequency band and parameters of the Star Language Communication.

This approach is essentially no different from corrupting the Star Speakers by evil gods. Both involve gaining the Star Speakers' trust by disguising their psionic identification codes and then taking the opportunity to instill Star Speaker information into them.

Time passes minute by minute.

As the war intensified, the extermination order was dropped everywhere, turning Altramar into a living hell, even more brutal than the Battle of Kos during the rebellion.

The four-color subspace energy continuously compressed the black energy in the middle, gradually forming a perfectly round sphere.

The outer shell of this sphere is composed of four colors of subspace energy, while the black energy is the core of the sphere.

Negative emotions from the real universe are absorbed into the sphere without leaving a single drop.

At this point, the sphere stops contracting and instead slowly expands outward, like an inflating balloon.

"Still haven't you been able to get in touch?" Li Nuo asked in a deep voice.

Pampa was sweating profusely with anxiety:

"Boss, almost done, almost done. There's a warp barrier around Makado and Horus, I don't know who set it up, I'm trying to break through it."

"Wait a minute." Li Nuo's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt that his current state was the same as "Magnus who knew about Horus's rebellion".

Magnus's good intentions backfired when he accidentally punctured the network by forcibly breaking through the subspace barrier.

Under his orders, Pampa forcibly sent psionic messages to Ma and Holland.

Could this well-intentioned act backfire? "Pampa, cease contact with Macado and Horus. Beast, organize a small assault ship fleet, find Macado, and tell him that the anomaly center in the warp corresponds to Hera Fortress in Macrag. Also, notify the various squadrons guarding the Webgate to be ready to receive the retreating human fleet at any time."

Lino gave a long list of orders, and Pampa and the Beast sprang into action, making the bridge bustling with activity.

As the sphere in the subspace grew larger and larger, Li Nuo's heart sank deeper and deeper.

If he wasn't mistaken, this was a ritual to forcibly transform Robert Guilliman into a vessel for the Dark Lord.

Why do you say that?

The answer is simple.

First, during the Horus Rebellion, who besieged Terra and launched a fierce attack on the palace?
They are human, Space Marines, Primarchs, and compatriots who were once on the same side as them.

In this respect, Terra during the siege of Terra was remarkably similar to Macurag at this time.

Second, how did the Emperor feel when he faced both the Web Path Demons and Horus's counter-offensive army?
The Webpath demons during the Horus Rebellion correspond to the Palu orc army that was in the Webpath at that time, as well as the Eldar forces that launched surprise attacks through the Webpath.

The rebellious Space Marines during the Horus Rebellion correspond to the Imperial fleet that was annihilating Alteramar at that time.

The civilian casualties and loyalist battles during the Horus Rebellion correspond to the civilians of Ultramar and the forces of the Omniscient Church.

At this moment, just as at that moment.

At this time, Robert Guilliman was certainly very, very, very similar to the emperor of that time in terms of psychology, emotions, and desires, with only slight differences.

Third, what kind of desires might arise in this state of mind?
Of course, it's about gaining power, turning the tide of battle, ending it all, and wiping out all the enemies.

Destruction and revenge!
These emotions are exactly what the Dark Lord wants!
Once the Dark Lord is drawn to Guilliman and chooses him as his vessel, the Dark Lord will be born in the Apostolic Age sub-universe!
The Chaos Octagon will welcome its fifth evil god!

The Eldar's plan to seal the Dark Lord in the sub-universe during the Rebellion Era will fail, and the God Emperor's vision to destroy the Chaos God will be ruined.

All the Imperial forces of Alteramar will be wiped out by the Dark Lord, and even Horus and Makador may not be spared.

The fourth point, and the most crucial one!
The existing four Chaos Gods do not actually want the Dark Lord to appear.

They first need to get the awakening process of the Chaos Octagon stuck at the Dark Lord step.

This requires the four Chaos Gods to use some method to permanently fix the Dark Lord's vessel within a static force field.

Skillful!

Terran Palace has a Golden Throne equipped with a static field, and there is also a Golden Throne with a static field in Hera Fortress in Macragge!
The only difference is that the throne in Hera's Fortress is of a lower standard, but it still meets the conditions for sealing the vessel of the Dark Lord.

If all four points above are correct, then Hera Fortress will definitely become the focus of attention from all sides.

"Boss, our assault fleet has located Horus and Macardo. They're over Macrag. The Cult of Omniscience has launched a teleportation attack on their flagship. Horus and Macardo are engaged in battle with Loga, Koz, Forgrim, and others. To prevent their flagship from being destroyed in the battle, Macardo has deployed a protective shield covering the battlefield..."

so close.

Thankfully, Pampa didn't force his way through the psionic barrier to send a message to Makado.

Otherwise, the protective shield of this flagship might have been penetrated by Pampa, and Macado would have suffered severe damage due to the shield breaking.

Li Nuo breathed a sigh of relief and gave the order:

"The assault fleet is split into two. Squad One will assist Macado and Horus in holding off enemy ships and find an opportunity to relay the message to Macado. Squad Two will attempt to scan the surface of Macragge and search for anomalous psionic signals of Alpha-class or higher."

"hold head high!"

Minutes later, the second squadron of the assault fleet successfully bypassed the Macklag air defense network and entered the atmosphere using "Mogg-e-silent" and optical stealth.

They dispersed throughout Macurag, using the Detector to scan the surface for unusual signals.

The bridge where Li Nuo was located received the scan results immediately.

There were a staggering twenty-seven anomalous psionic signals of Alpha level and above!
Further scanning revealed that the anomalous signals were emitted by some kind of psionic device, which exhibited physical characteristics of Blackstone.

By converting the planetary map of Macurag into a two-dimensional map and connecting the anomalous signals with line segments, a psionic ritual array based on the entire planet is formed.

Li Nuo roughly guessed the purpose of the magic circle; it was probably to strengthen the connection between Guilliman and the Dark Lord.

He was just about to order the assault fleet to destroy the psionic device when several fleets arrived in near-ground orbit around Macragge via sub-light-speed travel.

It's the Eldar fleet.

Their holographic shields can both withstand attacks and conceal their whereabouts.

After evading air defenses and enemy fleet pursuit, the Eldar fleet deployed a large number of fighters into the atmosphere.

The fighter jets were targeting the Black Stone device that was emitting unusual psionic signals.

Li Nuo nodded to himself. Regardless of whether the Eldar's actions were based on prophecy or rational tactical analysis, their surprise attack was commendable and without any flaws.

The more advanced the device, the more fragile it is.

The Eldar should be able to destroy those twenty-seven psionic devices.

Li Nuo looked at the scan results of Hera Fortress.

A void shield with extremely high energy readings appeared there. It would probably be impossible to penetrate this void shield by relying solely on the firepower of fighter jets and the bombardment of naval guns.

A saturation attack using massive bombardments and extinction weapons should be sufficient.

Li Nuo is prepared to play the villain and use a small-scale, devastating explosion to blast open the void shield and disrupt the psionic ritual inside.

The noisy boy suddenly shouted:

"Boss, something's wrong! After Pointy Ears destroyed the psionic device, that sphere in the subspace started migrating into the real universe!"

Li Nuo stared intently at the holographic image in subspace, his heart involuntarily racing.

The sphere, which was originally composed of four colored shells, is now completely black.

A lightning-fast, serpentine beam of light emanates from the sphere, transforming the area it sweeps across from subspace into the real universe.

As the number of beams increased and the scanning speed accelerated, the environment around the sphere rapidly switched to the real universe.

This is a far more efficient way of dimensional migration than opening a subspace exit.

After all, this sphere is simply too enormous; it would probably take several hours to leave subspace using conventional methods.

"Quickly, track the sphere and find its coordinates in the real universe!"

"Found it! Boss! 200 meters below the surface of Macragge, there's a Pharos device that was modified by the Blue-feathered Bird and the Dark Oil Guy! The sphere appears at the top of the Pharos! Also, the Find-Dong-Dong device discovered by tracking the quantum signals of the Pharos that four other Pharos devices are assisting the Macragge Pharos in transmitting the sphere into the real universe!"

The scan results from the device gave Li Nuo a heads-up.

If necessary, he could disrupt this unprecedented psionic ritual by destroying the Pharos device in the southern district.

However, the price he paid for doing so was that his super-powerful thinking ability, which he had maintained for more than twenty days, would likely be wasted.

Alternatively, the ritual can be completely terminated by destroying the Pharos of Macragge.

“Mark the location of Pharos on Macurag.”

"okay."

A red dot appeared on the holographic screen. That place was inside the mountain range where Hera Fortress was located, right below Hera Fortress!
Holy crap!
