Warhammer: Just unified the Empire, you said it was 40K

Chapter 277 Neutron Annihilation, Neutron Feather Gives Salamas a Bath
A giant weapon that has just been assembled, its sky filled with black stone artifacts.

These black stone creations form a subspace confinement domain that can almost envelop an entire galaxy.

The immense power even reinforced the real universe, making it exceptionally difficult for the warp to tear open the rift. This device was designed by the Gamma World for Vashtor's energy world, which relied on the real universe. Its purpose was to destroy Vashtor's world energy core and the monks of the Dark Mechanical Church.

The fluctuations of this energy planet were detected as early as when Vashtor was near Kadia.

Salamas 5.

That was a distant star system within the human empire.

This planet contains a large amount of black stone and psionic crystals, and is the core node world that maintains the Empire's energy grid. The secrets of the large amount of black stone attracted the research of the Martian Mechanical Church. Thus, on this planet, a high-ranking member of the Martian Mechanical Church, the sage Tarkun Volos, obtained the knowledge to study the contents of this place.

However, during the research process...

Sage Talkun, obsessed with forbidden knowledge, was gradually corrupted by the chaos within it and secretly joined the Dark Machine Church. Meanwhile, Vashtor, in a prophecy, found the key to the Ancient Key on the planet Salamas V and established a mental connection with Sage Talkun.

Thus, under the temptation of forbidden knowledge and demons, the Sage Talkun decided to completely abandon his human identity and turn to endless knowledge. The Dark Church's Sage Talkun attempted to use the energy power of Salamas, with the assistance of the Chaos demigod Vashtor, to achieve mechanical ascension, completely transferring his consciousness into the demon engine, becoming the possessor of immortality and infinite knowledge.

However, after he secretly sabotaged the planet's defense system and guided the Vashtor fleet, along with the Chaos Astartes and the Demon Engine, to invade Salamas V, he thought that by activating the psionic reactor in the planet's core, he could make the Vashtor keep its promise and transform him into a true possessor of infinite knowledge.

However, the psionic reactor he activated unleashed terrifying psionic energy that dissolved the earth's crust, exposing the key buried deep underground. Sage Talkun was sacrificed in this battle.

He was indeed injected with a demonic engine.

However, the demonic engine will not transmit endless knowledge to him, but will instead plunge him into endless rage and endless suffering.

At this moment, he had completely become a slave to the chaotic demigod Vashtor. His future would continue to be a tool for Vashtor to inflict pain on the world and invade the human empire. As for the knowledge that Vashtor had promised him, it was long gone. After the consciousness of the Sage Talkun was completely integrated into the demon engine, he could no longer gain any knowledge. He would only crave blood and slaughter.

And now, he and the other corrupted members of the Dark Machine Church are also on this planet, controlling the planet's energy core node and doing low-level and meaningless maintenance work for Vashtor.

Talkun was constantly tormented by this pain, just like the other blasphemous demon engines. His soul roared within the demon engine, and an aura of sorrow rose up, but it would instantly attract the attention of other demon engines. In this universe, the pain of others was the way for them to alleviate their own pain. In the chaos, weak chaotic creatures could not survive in the warp, because weakness would make them food for others.

Therefore, Talkun has only two options: either Vashtor is destroyed and he is completely freed from Vashtor's slave contract ritual, or he himself is destroyed and is no longer summoned and resurrected by Vashtor.

However, both may be difficult.

After all, Vashtor had already established his absolute power after conquering the planet.

Today, Vashtor has become an arms supplier for the Red Pirates and the Chaos forces. On this planet, a large number of weapons are being forged. It can be said that, apart from Dragonlin, which he hides in the warp, this world is Vashtor's largest arms forging world, and also the energy center that powers his various weapons.

The empire also took notice of this force.

The Empire, having amassed considerable strength, was determined to take the planet and dispatched a large number of warriors. Macardo was only a few hours away from Terra, and before he entered Terra, a loyal contingent of Space Marines, including the offspring of the Blood Angels, was sent over.

Tarkun looked up at the sky. The gloomy sky seemed like a world of hell being burned. Terrifying and ominous signs spread across the entire planet. Even the midday sun could not pierce through the dark sky.

However, the sky above the peaceful world of Salamas suddenly seemed to distort and vibrate, as if a jump had occurred in an instant. At this moment, the universe underwent some kind of power distortion. The powerful force connected the two distant ends of the universe into a single point in a very short time. Its sudden appearance during the crossing between points caught the warships around the planet off guard.

The anti-magic field created by Blackstone suddenly exerted its power, as if some powerful force suddenly burst forth from them, causing the dark creations of Vashtor on the planet, which combined demon engines and psionic sentry towers, to suddenly become like cold water dripping into hot oil.

Zira!

The powerful repulsive force quickly triggered the alarm.

The pirate fleets that had been docked over Salamas to transport weapons, as well as the Chaos Space Marines, were all taken aback.

When did such a colossal creation appear beside them?

Even their ships had to ignite their engines' flamethrowers to escape the other's gravity due to its powerful pull.

"What it is!"

"What a huge building! Could it be some kind of technological creation of Vashtor?"

The forged items provided by Vashtor were of exceptional quality, so much so that they were extremely satisfied with Vashtor's weapons, believing them to be even more suitable than the weapons they had plundered from the Human Empire. "I wonder how powerful these weapons are!"

"If I'm not mistaken, this device appeared suddenly, which means that the object has at least the ability to be deployed over long distances."

“Good stuff, good stuff! You have equipment that allows you to jump long distances, yet you don’t sell it? Whatever price you want, we can provide it.” The person in charge of selling Vashtor weapons was a demon named Vestan who had been captured by Vashtor. Over the long years, the other party had completely submitted to him and become his slave. Although he was responsible for liaising with some Chaos forces, Vashtor did not completely trust him, but he believed that he had become Vashtor’s representative.

But even he had never seen such a magnificent and enormous weapon built by Vashtor, and it contained no warp forces that would blaspheme the real universe. This was anything but warp!

Vestan's astonishment surprised the Chaos Warrior opposite him. Vestan, who was extremely familiar with any weapon, showed a genuine expression of shock and panic upon facing this weapon.

It was as if he had never actually seen it.

Vashtor was the ultimate utilitarian in chaos.

His trust was limited to the value of the tool.

The Beast of Caliban is a fully controllable war machine.

Talkun and the like are consumables for achieving the goal.

The spear of fate is the ultimate vehicle for his ambition.

He doesn't need "trusted demons" in the traditional sense, because his power comes from his absolute monopoly on technology and warp fusion. He has a monopoly on military equipment, and even the most powerful Khorne Legion needs the weapons and demon engines he forges. Abaddon even had him forge a whole legion of demon engines for trade.

In the chaos of Warhammer 40, Vashtor, acting as a cold-blooded, calculating Chaos arms dealer, sees everything (including demons) as replaceable parts. If he possesses such a weapon, he would never tell anyone, let alone a self-important Vestan demon.

Gamma's colossus weapon is approaching the planet.

On the planet, the colossus weapon of the Gamma world remained stationary.

It hovered above the space naval port they had built.

They were somewhat surprised and taken aback, but when they saw that the warship did not attack them, they subconsciously assumed that the weapon had no intention of harming them at all. By the time they realized what was happening, the Neutron Annihilation had already begun to spread its wings above the planet.

"Enemy attack!"

It was only then that people realized this was neither a gesture of goodwill towards them nor a technological creation of Vashtor.

It belongs to the enemy, not them.

Meanwhile, Vashtor seemed to have seen the scene before him through the psionic watchtower on the energy planet Salamas, through the compound eyes of the subspace formed by countless luminous particles.

It's a gamma world!!
Damn!

It's them!
Having just snatched the key fragments from the Steel Angels Chapter's warehouse, Gamma World couldn't wait to attack the previous location where he had taken the key fragments.

It's clear that the Gamma World came to obtain these key fragments, and they truly know where each key fragment is.

As Vashtor used the psychic power of the warp god to transmit the message to the divination database of the energy planet, the colossus weapon on the planet Salamas also opened its weapon-spraying vents.

Like the light of a sanctuary, it gently impacted the ground.

No matter what kind of chaotic forces they are, they cannot believe their own eyes.

The neutron plumes projected from the gamma world, like holy light, rushed toward the planet below, which was being corrupted by chaos.

The obscured sky was clearly a dark color.

But at this moment, it was as if a beam of light had torn a gash in the sky, revealing a waterfall of silver water hanging in the air.
