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

Chapter 75 Battle Planet Appears
The dangers lurking on the Macragge's Glory inspired the Word Bearers.

They had attempted to disable the XIII Legion's flagship on Calth, and captured the vessel of their old enemy, corrupting it with the most blasphemous rituals as revenge against the Ultramarines.

The Ultramarines had burned their perfect city to the ground, and the Word Bearers were determined to raze the Ultramarines' homeworld to the ground with the corrupted Macragge's Glory.

Blood for blood, tooth for tooth.

However, the inexplicable changes in the Battle of Calth forced the Extreme Marines to react, and the annihilation battle turned into a space encounter.

In that war, even the Primarch's adoptive father, Kor Phaeron, disappeared at the last moment before escaping the jump into the warp, and his life or death is still unknown.

And now, this giant ship has once again become a major concern for the Word Bearers. They have given up the fantasy of capturing it and turned to destroying this Glorious Queen-class battleship with the most brutal means.

If you can't get it, then destroy it completely.

A small ship like Amatra is going to sink two Queen of Glory-class battleships today. The captains of the Word Bearers recited mantras in enthusiasm.

Once it falls, the reinforcements of the Ultramarines will be completely destroyed. Once these warships mobilized from all over the Five Hundred Worlds are wiped out, the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar will be like lambs to be slaughtered at will.

"Master, the Primarch's signal has arrived. He wants us to prepare to take shelter!"

The servitor responsible for information transmission twitched all over, but it still conveyed the received signal to the captain.

"Great, our secret weapon has finally arrived. These Word Bearers have suppressed us for so long, it's time to turn the tide!"

Gage was very angry, and when he heard the news, he immediately signaled the warships to give way.

The giant that had just been created was about to jump into this galaxy and show those hateful Word Bearers what true invincibility in naval warfare meant.

The abnormal movement trajectory of Macragge's Glory immediately attracted the enemy's attention, but they did not know why it changed direction like this.

Because of this change of direction, its dodging space was further compressed. If it were to be attacked a few more times, it would directly bear the full wrath of the Three Holy Prayers.

The Word Bearers thought that the boarding troops were having an effect, and immediately signaled their warships to chase after them.

No matter what tricks the Extreme Marines are playing, can they still turn the tables?
Faced with the temptation to completely defeat the Ultramarines, the Word Bearers commander did not doubt his own intentions and sent all his warships up.

They formed a hunting formation and surrounded the entire fleet of the Thirteenth Legion.

"Aim and fire...what is that?"

The Word Bearers commander was so excited that his blood was almost boiling. Such a great feat as defeating his old enemy would make his name famous among the Word Bearers, and even all the legions that started the rebellion would know his name.

This is the highest honor for any Word Bearer.

Just as he ordered the warships to continue firing and reap the spoils, everyone's attention was drawn to what was happening before their eyes.

In the airspace of Mandeville Point, a huge subspace rift appeared in the physical universe, and the waves of the subspace sea could be directly observed with the naked eye through this channel.

Its diameter exceeds 800 kilometers, and it can even accommodate dozens of Abyss Fury ships entering and exiting at the same time.

The Word Bearers had never seen such a huge jump rift. According to visual observation, a warship the size of an asteroid would be needed to have a channel of this size to jump.

But what kind of joke is this? The Word Bearers secretly contacted the Mechanicus's Fabricator General, Keb Har, and paid many promises and costs before they built three Abyssal Fury-class battleships in the docks of Jupiter over many years.

And after the completion, the Forge General destroyed the shipyard there. It can be said that the Abyss Fury-class battleship has become a swan song, and even the rebels can no longer build such a giant ship.

Even though it was hard to believe, a huge star with a metallic luster on its surface and covered with a layer of light blue energy shield slowly emerged from the crack.

It was so massive that even escaping the warp rift would take time. The battle planet, shaped by Golden Age technology, had finally crossed the vast expanse of space and time and arrived in this galaxy.

On its side facing the subspace channel, thousands of huge planetary engines spewed out dazzling blue tails, which could push the power of the star to return the asteroid to the real universe.

And in front of it, the huge gun barrel visible to the naked eye emitted an extremely deep and dim light, and the Word Bearers felt their scalps tingling almost instantly.

Where the hell did those damn Smurfs get their secret weapon?
Even a person without common sense would understand that a battleship could never confront a celestial body, even if it was just the most common asteroid in the universe. But when it was armed, there was only one outcome for attempting to confront it - turning into cosmic dust.

"I order all Word Bearers to return to the Trinitarian Litany and the Blessed Lady immediately via drop pods and teleportation! Repeat! All Word Bearers return immediately!"

The commander of the Word Bearers was now screaming into the communicator like a fart being stepped on. The two huge ships stopped chasing the loot that was about to be in their hands, and all the crew members urged the energy of the reactor to be infused into the engine.

"We can't leave yet, Primarch, the Primarch is on the surface!" a crew member screamed.

In order to completely take down Amatra, Great Word Bearer Lorgar personally landed on the surface to participate in the final ceremony. This was a natural thing, the Primarch personally put an end to the enemy who had resisted for a long time and gave it a merciful end.

But when that damn battle planet showed up, everything started to go downhill for the worst.

The captain of the Blessed Lady has already seen that the battle planet is approaching the limit of its range. Its surface is so densely packed that no one knows how many gun barrels are charging.

They were super-large-caliber macro cannons and light spear arrays. These huge weapons could only be installed in orbital space and on the surface as ground-based weapons for permanent fortifications.

At this moment, the Ultramarines told the Word Bearers that if the planet could be moved, then ground-based weapons could also be mobile weapons.

The reactor of the battle planet released almost endless energy, which was injected into the weapon array. In an instant, thousands of dazzling light beams shot into the universe from the surface of the asteroid.

Due to the lack of deflection and interference from the atmosphere, the power of these light spears was not affected at all. The giant light spears traveled at the speed of light, and when they were observed, it meant that they had been hit.

A large number of warships in the Word Bearers' fleet seemed to have evaporated into thin air; their void shields were completely unable to block such a huge amount of energy.

The diameter of the light spears even exceeded that of some smaller frigates, turning them and their crews into free atoms within a microsecond.

As for those larger ships, the metal of their warships was melted by the extremely high temperature, but the energy was undiminished. After piercing through the warships, it also destroyed the fleet blocking the rear.

Like a giant blade of light slashing through the Word Bearers' fleet, all enemies that stood in its way were reduced to ashes.

This is a crushing of complete volume, a crushing of the starship by the stellar engine.

The Word Bearers fell into despair and madness. Some small warships immediately fled in all directions. They took the initiative to separate from the main force and fled forward into the dark void.

The Word Bearers' control over their warships completely collapsed at this moment. A few mortals who had not been completely brainwashed by the cult seized control of the warships. They chose to flee in different groups to avoid being surrounded and annihilated.

They ran their engines to maximum, planning to reach Mandeville Point to make a subspace jump. As long as they entered the sea of ​​subspace, the disordered space and time would be able to block most of the enemies.

But unfortunately, even though they arrived at Mandeville Point, the navigators and technicians on their ship concluded through calculations that this place was completely unsuitable for subspace jumps.

The gravitational field of the star system was disrupted, and the disordered gravitational threads also disrupted the Mandeville point. All subspace jumps were prohibited at this moment.

But some anxious warships chose to take a gamble. They ignored the warnings of the navigators and technicians and forcibly started the subspace engines.

But even if they ran the engines to maximum, they still could not obtain the conditions for jumping, and the consequence was obvious. The warships were stuck in the gap between the immaterial world and the real universe. Some fell directly into a strange area that did not belong to either, and the more unfortunate ones turned directly into nothingness.

Even if these small fish and shrimps escaped, they would not have much impact on the battle situation. The Extreme Marines only sent out some fleets to chase them, while most of their attention was focused on the Trisaac's Prayer and the Blessed Lady.
