Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 10 Early Warning
The World Museum is a landmark building built by the people of Khaos. To be more precise, it is a large pyramid with three corners built on three small pyramids. It is built of square stones and plaster and is the crystallization of the wisdom and craftsmanship of Khaos engineers.

Ten kilometers away, the Global Museum came into sight. It was a large and magnificent building complex. Luo Xi and others quickly arrived near this amazing building.

When they arrived, the Extreme Marines who had left earlier had already disappeared.

On the avenue in front of the World Museum, numerous flags were hung in the air and danced in the wind. The patterns on them described the Empire, Ultramar or the Ultramarines. Under the flags were lush and beautiful gardens. The rainbow formed by the spraying water mist made this area as beautiful as a fairyland.

As soon as he entered the inner court, he was immediately greeted by mortal servants dressed in the uniforms of the Universal Museum, delivering a message from Ventanus.

"Everyone, Lord Ventanus has asked you to head to the inner hall of the Universal Museum immediately after you arrive. Please follow me."

At this moment in the Universal Museum, Ventanus had already ordered all servants and staff to take emergency action. He issued an order for a wartime state and ordered the airport managers who were in a meeting to mobilize immediately and report to him the latest developments of the Word Bearers.

"Abt, Dario, and Chancellor Etwin, return to your posts immediately, and notify the Ultramarines in other areas to assemble immediately."

"Send a first-level alert signal to the orbital platform and the surface outpost, and have them warm up their weapon systems."

"Send a warning signal to the Ultramarines in the low-orbit starport, and have them start their engines and remain on alert."

A series of orders were issued in an orderly manner, and even Ventanus gave up the polite and peaceful attitude that the Ultramarines had always maintained towards mortals. Everything was done to make the entire system operate at the fastest speed.

"Sir, the group of people you ordered are here, along with two Extreme Warriors." The mortal servant came forward and reported in a low voice.

Ventanus walked towards Wieland, Tassa and others who were walking towards him, shook hands with them cordially to express his gratitude. To Roche's surprise, the captain of the Ultramarines also thanked him in the crowd.

"Dear friend, the news you brought is too valuable. Currently, 200,000 Ultramarines of the XIII Legion are gathering. Most of the warships, including the Macragge's Glory, are anchored in the orbital starport. I can't even imagine what disastrous consequences would be if the Word Bearers attacked us when we were unprepared."

Ventanus said this to Roche. Guilliman's offspring also had strong attainments in politics. He had already deduced the status of Roche, an ordinary mortal, in the hearts of the two brothers.

Obviously, he was the one who made the decision.

"No need to thank me, I also have my mission." Luo Xi did not have too much pride. After thousands of years of polishing, he had already reached the state of being unmoved by praise or criticism.

No matter what, he is on the side of humanity. Whether the enemy is aliens or some humans who choose to surrender to the warp, they are all enemies.

In front of an exhibition stand, a kneeling statue-like figure began to move. The servo system in his power armor hummed softly, supporting this body, which was more powerful than Ventanus, to stand up.

The finely crafted power armor, embellished with gilded wings and eagles, stood like a mountain.

"My Lord Yingjie." Ventanus saluted.

"I have heard your orders and I have done a good job." The Macragge hero named Lamiad praised with a smile. Compared with the serious-looking Ventanus, he seemed more calm and had an unshakable temperament.

The Four Paragons were a special hierarchy within the Ultramarines Legion, representing the four worlds of Salamanth, Konor, Okruda, and Axe under Macragge. Their power and status surpassed those of the Chapter Master and Planetary Governor, and ranked second only to the Primarch. Roche noticed that the right half of this Paragon's face was breathtakingly handsome, while the left was covered by a ceramic mask. His mechanical eyes, with their pupils glittering with life, gazed upon the crowd.

"The Legion was on the brink of crisis, but fortunately, we had advance warning."

Lamiad boosted morale. He could see the uneasiness and tension in the hearts of Ventanus and others.

"If the Word Bearers truly choose to betray shamefully, then we will let the Perfect City burn a second time!"

……

Orbital sentry tower.

Servomaster Hurst, wearing a scarlet Mechanicus robe, was busy in Calth's mind space. There were more than 10,000 people working in this sentry tower, and a complex flow of people walked back and forth in the sentry tower command station, handling the exaggerated number of starships moving in space.

The tracks at Cowes have never been busier.

Whether it is a busy starport in space or a constant stream of transport convoys on the ground, they all need sentry towers to provide data support. Due to the human empire's red line attitude towards hatred of intelligence, these technicians from the Mechanicus rely on the Thinker system to process the data.

There were sixty highly skilled technicians around Hearst to help process the data. In the position closest to him, a highly modified, tall woman noticed Hearst's sudden surge in adrenaline.

"What's wrong with you?" Senior Technician Tao Lun sent a string of binary code to Hurst. This is the way the Mechanicus communicates within the church. For them, the code is more accurate and efficient than the vague High Gothic language.

Under normal circumstances, Hearst would have responded more to this high-level technician whom he had a crush on, but at this moment, the order from Numinas caused his thinking module to operate at a high frequency.

"Are they those waste codes? They have been bothering us for a long time, and we don't have an effective way to deal with them." Tao Lun's fingers danced on the invisible keys. Not long ago, some inexplicably appearing waste codes were found by technicians in Cos's thinking space.

An extremely subtle trace of pathological information lurks in the thinking space. They are not viruses or anything else, but they are definitely not good things. The filtering system cannot remove them and they stubbornly take root in the information flow.

"Neither. This is a combat readiness order from the Global Museum. Captain Ventanus reported that among the two legions currently gathering over Calth, the upcoming Word Bearers legion is suspected to have a high-risk warning. Lord Yingjie and Captain Ventanus ordered the fleet to stop gathering."

The servo engineer's job is to ensure that the complex orbital movements in space can be coordinated with each other, and sudden mission changes are enough to make them busy.

"No matter what, immediately connect to the Glory of Macragge and report the information." Hurst ordered, "As for our other warships, they are all docked in the port at this moment, all their engines are shut down, and they are undergoing repairs and maintenance."

However, just as the servitors were about to pass the information through the mind space, eight names that entered the network through the sacrificial ceremony, the Eightfold Path brought in by the Chaos believers, finally revealed their true colors.

Those were waste codes that the technicians thought were harmless but could not be removed, but at this moment, they were like activated diseases, showing corrosive, spreading, and indelible characteristics.

The power of the Warp spreads across the four dimensions of Calth.
