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

Chapter 326 The Battle of Dreaming Back to Heaven
What level of soul is the "Orc God"?

When Li Nuo asked this question, she already had the answer in her heart.

The specimen in front of them belonged to the leader of the ancient orcs, who was already dead.

How could a mortal ancient orc leader possibly have a second-class or first-class soul? At most, he'd be a third-class soul.

In other words, after working with the human empire for nearly two months, all he received in return was control of an ancient orc leader who was given the title of "True God of the Orcs".

Although Li Nuo didn't want to admit it, he had to say it:
I was definitely fooled by the weasel.

“Li Nuo, it is common knowledge that the orc true god does not have the ability to travel between sub-universes.”

The Divine Emperor said earnestly:
"The orcs' psionic field is independent of the warp. They cannot draw energy from the warp, nor can they use the warp to cast psionic spells. Under this premise, the orc god and the warp are also independent of each other, and the former naturally cannot see the path to other sub-universes."

Macado nodded in agreement.
“That’s right, Li Nuo. I told you before that if you want to travel between sub-universes autonomously and controllably, you must first dispel the orcs’ psionic field and connect your soul and mind directly to the warp.”

Li Nuo remained silent.

Dispel the orc's psionic field?

No, no, no, this is something that does far more harm than good, and it should absolutely not be done.

The orcs' psionic field provides them with the power of thought, while also resisting the corruption of chaos.

Without the psionic field, are orcs still orcs?
Li Nuo's silence revealed his stance. The God Emperor and Makado exchanged a glance and stopped trying to persuade the other to abandon the orcs' psionic field.

The God Emperor fired a beam of light at the leader of the ancient orcs:
"The ritual begins. Once you receive my command, immediately take control of this orc."

Li Nuo nodded and calmed down.

The psionic materials surrounding the ancient orc specimen parted under the golden light, and the specimen, like a sponge, absorbed the psionic materials around its body.

Talasi's ability to create specimens is beyond doubt; the skin color and elasticity of the ancient orc leader are extremely similar to those of a living orc.

After absorbing psionic materials, the texture of life gradually strengthens, muscle lines become clearer, and the body shape becomes more natural as the specimen moves.

"Boom, boom."

A muffled, thunderous heartbeat.

"Hiss, whoosh—"

The sound of long, deep breathing.

"Crack, click."

A slight but noticeable grinding sound.

The leader of the ancient orcs had his eyes tightly closed, his eyeballs twitching beneath his eyelids, and his fingertips trembling irregularly.

"Now," the God Emperor said.

Li Nuo locked his gaze on the specimen of the ancient orc leader and activated the Waaagh simulation.

After consuming some magical spores, his consciousness successfully transferred from space to the leader of the ancient orcs.

next second!
Makado tapped the floor lightly with the end of his staff, projecting a psionic light screen into space that resembled a static force field.

Before it could even understand what was happening, it lost its ability to move and sense its senses. It was forcibly frozen in place by Makado, unable to perceive its surroundings or move.

The God Emperor stretched out both hands forward and fired double the psionic beam at the leader of the ancient orcs.

A rich golden light enveloped the ancient orc.

The God-Emperor's ten fingers trembled as if playing the piano, as if he were using a beam of psionic energy to pull something out of the ancient orc leader's body.

Suddenly, the ancient orc leader's psionic field appeared, pushing the God Emperor's golden light out of his body.

The expressions of the God Emperor and Makado changed slightly.

"His Majesty?"

"It's a failure." The God-Emperor lowered his hands, dissipating the golden light from his fingertips, and sighed softly:
“It was just a little bit short. If the psionic field had appeared 0.5 seconds later, I could have reclaimed the part of Alphamega’s subspace essence on Li Nuo and taken control of the Palu Orcs. But in the end, it was still just a little bit short.”

Makado asked in a deep voice:
"Do we still have a chance?"

The Divine Emperor nodded slightly:

"There are at least two more chances."

Macado breathed a sigh of relief and then asked:

"Your Majesty, why not obtain that part of the warp essence from Li Nuo's human body? His human body shouldn't have the orc's psionic field, right?"

The Divine Emperor said:
"Because that part of the warp essence is not in his human body, but in the orc he possesses; this is determined by the characteristics of that part of the warp essence."

The God-Emperor paused for a moment, then continued:
"But that doesn't mean the human body is useless to Li Nuo. In fact, it's precisely because of that human body that he blindly trusts the Human Empire and me, and that I was able to edit his soul code. We must allow him to retain his human identity until we reclaim Alphamega's subspace essence. As for what happens after we reclaim Alphamega..."

The God Emperor and Macardo exchanged glances and remained silent.

The Empire’s attitude toward heresy and aliens has never wavered.

...

...

Li Nuo felt like he was dreaming, a dream that was both hazy and lucid.

His eyes were closed, his vision was completely black, and he could hear shouts and the sound of metal clashing, as if a fierce battle was taking place around him.

He heard the ground being smashed open by hard objects, the river surging with huge waves that washed over stubborn rocks, and the crisp sound of metal objects being broken.

He struggled to open his eyes, waves of dizziness assaulting his mind, a buzzing sound of air vibration passing by, and a burning pain spreading throughout his body, accompanied by a tingling sensation of rapid skin regeneration.

"I don't think you'll die!"

With a loud shout, Li Nuo felt himself being lifted up, going from lying unconscious on the ground to standing upright, ready to engage in battle.

His eyes snapped open, and the overwhelming scene before him left him deeply shaken.

His vantage point was at least thirty meters above the ground, and the surrounding trees were so short they looked like bushes.

Meteors, trailing long flames, rained down from the sky, bombarding the earth, mountains, rivers, and forests.

Looking up at the sky, I realized that the meteor actually came from another planet!
The two planets are so close together that they could trigger megalophobia!

The surface of the planet opposite is covered with magma and active volcanoes, and the fire meteors that come from the sky are launched from the volcanoes!

"Don't hesitate! Charge in! Take down those firemen!"

Another loud shout came from beside him, and then a hand lifted Li Nuo up and threw him into the air like a shot put.

Li Nuo stared wide-eyed, looking incredulously as he rapidly ascended.

In the troposphere, the clouds and mist are alluring, and white fog rises.

In the stratosphere, ozone absorbs ultraviolet radiation, causing temperatures to rise.

The middle layer cools down rapidly to below zero degrees Celsius, with white frost covering the entire surface.

The thermosphere, with shortwave radiation and temperatures exceeding 1,000 degrees Celsius, is imperceptible due to the thin air.

Li Nuo was greatly surprised.

Who could possibly throw a behemoth over 20 meters tall into a near-Earth orbit with just one hand?!
Li Nuo spun around in mid-air, looked back, and his gaze froze instantly!
It was a truly colossal creature. Even viewed from above, it looked as conspicuous as a dump truck, and its height and wingspan were estimated to be no less than 100 kilometers.

There are many, many more things like this on the ground.

They grabbed handfuls of 20-meter-tall orcs and hurled them towards the opposite planet. Many of Li Nuo's kind were also rapidly flying into outer space. The colossal creature on the ground looked like an orc magnified countless times, but was it truly just an orc?

Li Nuo subconsciously cast a detection spell, but received a shocking message.

[Warning! Your connection with the God-Emperor has been severed!]

[The Detection skill, Palu Teleportation Portal, Palu Warehouse, and other functions are all unavailable!]

The Waaagh simulation function is basically working normally.

As the system message flashed across his vision, Li Nuo felt his body being captured by a force from above.

That's gravity from the opposite planet.

Li Nuo was pulled by this gravity and fell towards the lava and volcano on the ground.

A fireball erupted from the crater and landed right on Linuo's descent track.

Just as Li Nuo was waving his hands, preparing to adjust his falling trajectory by manipulating the air, he heard the voice of the farting devil behind him.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm here, what are you panicking for!"

Li Nuo turned his head as far as he could and then discovered a metal rocket backpack behind him, with a five-meter-tall monster sitting on it fiddling with the control lever.

The fart-headed fellow stretched out his finger and pressed the red button:
"Ignition! Launch! Paratrooper One Jump Ball Boy, ready!"

"Sizzle—Bang!"

The rocket backpack ignited successfully, and the surging thrust propelled Li Nuo sideways, dodging the oncoming meteor. Then, a long dragon of flames erupted, and Li Nuo felt a tremendous force coming from his back, pushing his body towards the volcano crater on the ground.

The scene on the volcano rapidly magnified in my field of vision, and beeping notification sounds came from inside the helmet. Hundreds of red markers appeared in the holographic view.

The marked enemy is a humanoid fire-breathing creature that is over ten meters tall.

They waved their hands on the volcano, using their psionic powers to extract magma from the ground around the volcano, fill the crater, and then use another kind of psionic power to turn the magma into fireballs.

After the fireball was loaded, the fire-breathing figures on the volcano raised their hands in unison, and an artificial meteor shot out from the crater with a bang.

Kill all these fire people and you can stop the volcanic eruption!
Li Nuo followed his body's instincts, reached for his waist, and drew a longsword whose blade gleamed with an icy light.

The raw materials for this sword came from a frozen planet, mined from an ice vein at the Earth's core by the craftsman boy.

Regardless of changes in the surrounding environment, the sword will always remain at around -444 degrees Celsius due to the properties of the permafrost material.

The master swordsman named this sword "The Ancestor of the Flame Man"!
"Whoosh!" The icy blue sword light pierced through the flame man's body from top to bottom. The frost blade froze everything it passed through, and the flames on the flame man's body were extinguished instantly. Then, it turned into a wisp of white mist from the inside out and completely dissipated.

Li Nuo steadied himself, and the fart spirit on his back timely adjusted the direction of the backpack nozzle. The two were of one mind, and their synchronization rate reached 100%!

A thin column of flame shot out, and Li Nuo, propelled by the rocket backpack, aimed at the next fire-breathing humanoid and charged towards it.

With flashes of sword light and a zigzag movement, dodging the fireball attacks from the Flame Man, Li Nuo swept across the landing point with his Frost Sword.

At this moment, his body was so agile that it seemed to have no inertia. Every time he exerted force and changed his sword stance, it was completed by his powerful body and his butt spirit controlling the rocket backpack in coordination, without the need for the electronic muscle bundles and various motors of the power armor.

At that moment, Li Nuo realized how foolish he had been!

A true orc army should consist of a powerful physique, a simple and brutal mind, surging power, and agile butt-wielding skills!
Orcs who are not command units only need to know how to attack in battle. Operations that require thinking, such as positioning, defense, dodging, and controlling inertia, can all be left to the butt spirits behind them!

Kill! Kill! Slash! Slash! Slash!

Li Nuo had never felt that battle was so easy.

He doesn't need to consider inertia; he can swing his sword with all his might every time he strikes, and the little devil behind him will naturally use the rocket backpack to help him adjust his stance.

They ran and killed relentlessly, slaughtering their way from the foot of the volcano to its summit.

Li Nuo successfully reunited with more than a dozen other orcs who were over 20 meters tall.

The group unloaded the seemingly crudely made frost grenades from their backpacks, removed the safety pins, silently counted to three, two, one, threw the grenades into the crater, and ran away.

"Rumble————"

The explosion erupted, and ice crystal particles were pushed in all directions by the shockwave.

When Li Nuo arrived at the foot of the mountain and looked back, the volcano was visibly freezing its ice shell.

Looking up at the planet they came from, the forests on the surface were ignited by meteors, and 20-meter-tall orcs were continuously thrown onto the planet below.

The fire-man, capable of causing volcanoes to spew meteors, is broken and desperate.

Is this how the ancient orcs fight?

really interesting!
Li Nuo had never imagined that there would be a type of orc who could throw other orcs onto another planet with their bare hands—even though the two planets were very close, it was still a fantasy!
Just as Li Nuo was about to continue experiencing mindless combat and mindless fun, the system interface popped up.

[The psychic ritual has ended.]

[In 10 seconds, the Waaagh simulation will be forcibly terminated.]

[10, 9, 8...]

Li Nuo quickly started operating the interface.

The countdown will end soon.

Li Nuo's vision went black, and when he opened his eyes again, he was back inside the spacecraft.

The ancient orc specimen not far away was torn to pieces, its flesh and blood turning into particles that splattered all over the ground.

In this psionic ritual, psionic materials are consumables, as are ancient orc specimens.

"How is it, Li Nuo? Have you found a way to become a true god among the orcs?" the God Emperor asked with concern.

Li Nuo snapped out of her daze and shook her head:

"No."

"What a pity," the Divine Emperor said, offering words of comfort.

"It's alright. The Talatsin from the Rebellion Era and the End Era are still alive, and each of them possesses an ancient orc specimen. You have two more chances to find clues to becoming the true god of the orcs."

Makado now understood that what His Majesty meant by "at least two more opportunities to obtain the subspace essence of Alphamega" referred to the two ancient orc specimens held by Talasien.

The reason for saying "at least" twice is that there may be other ancient orc corpses hidden somewhere in the Milky Way.

Faced with the God Emperor's words of comfort, Li Nuo appeared somewhat regretful, yet also hopeful, and said:
"Yes, Your Majesty. I plan to first obtain the ancient orc specimen from the Rebellion era. Once the materials needed for the ritual are ready, I would like to ask you to help me restart the ritual."

“No problem, Lino. The Palu orcs are friends of the Empire. I will start the ritual for you.”

The Divine Emperor smiled slightly and said:
“However, before the next psionic ritual begins, I need Makado to modify the ancient orc specimen beforehand to make the ritual last longer. This step is necessary because you only have two chances.”

When the God-Emperor said this, he glanced at Makado.

The Imperial Chancellor understood and nodded solemnly in agreement.

Makado understood His Majesty's meaning: it would be best to take advantage of these two opportunities to obtain Alphamega's warp essence; otherwise, he would have to help Lino find other ancient orc corpses.

As for how to improve the specimens of the ancient orcs.

Makado already has an idea.

There is a time lag between when Li Nuo possesses the ancient beastman and when the ancient beastman's psionic field is activated.

If we can find a way to extend the time difference, we can help His Majesty seize the portion of the subspace essence held by Li Nuo and take control of the Palu orcs.
