Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 360 The Arrival of the Tyrant Star

Guilliman and Gao Yi looked at each other at the same time.

At this moment, both of them sensed an unknown and enormous spiritual energy beginning to fill the surrounding space. Gao Yi quickly calmed down and connected to his subspace projection.

He discovered that this warp power existed not only in the area around them, but also, in the Xel'Naga's psionic vision, this unknown psionic power suddenly appeared throughout the entire Sintira galaxy.

At this moment, a subspace storm swept through the entire galaxy where Sintira was located without any warning.

This storm directly engulfed the entire galaxy.

Sintira herself was the most severely affected by the subspace storm.

"Gao Yi, what exactly is this subspace power?!"

"I don't know either, but it's definitely not a good thing. A sudden, massive warp storm... Could it be related to the demonic invasions that occurred in other worlds of the Empire?!"

The scene before me was very similar to what Guilliman had described before, or even more exaggerated.

The sheer size and scope of this subspace force are perhaps only comparable to those worlds that have been transformed into demon planets, but this is Sintira.

Sintira serves as an important transit planet.

Under his cleansing, even cultists became rare throughout Sintila.

The cult activities of the Lower Nest and Lower Nest were also suppressed to the extreme!
Cultists should be completely incapable of carrying out a blasphemous ritual of this scale!

If the Chaos Gods can freely infiltrate the physical world in this way without the need for rituals performed by mortal believers, then no ordinary world could withstand the erosion of this warp power!
Humanity might as well just wait to die; the evil god can corrupt whichever planet he wants!
You can summon demons wherever you want.

Under such a concentration of subspace power, mortals would not last long before being forcibly corrupted, and the entire world would be completely transformed into a demon world.

At that moment, Gao Yi suddenly noticed the wine glass in front of him...

The golden liquid had turned completely black.

At that moment, a pitch-black celestial body suddenly appeared in the wine glass...

Gao Yi looked at the glass, mirror, and other wine glasses beside him, and they were all the same.

This is indoors; how could such a strange celestial body be reflected in the wine?

Sintira faced more than just this problem; everyone on Sintira sensed something was amiss.

Even those with little psychic talent could feel the negative emotions caused by the warp energy, which made their souls tremble. People in the hives, the towers, and the mobile cities in the wastelands who could see the sky all looked up at the sky above.

At this moment, the starlight that provides warmth to humanity is suppressed in the sky, and a pitch-black celestial body hangs in mid-air.

Moreover, this celestial body is visibly growing larger and is constantly approaching Sintira.

At this point, under the guidance of the Dakka family, Comos had torn open the veil of reality and returned from the warp to the real universe.

And they headed towards Sintila.

It seemed to be devouring the light of the star and converting its energy into subspace energy, which it then scattered across the world.

It was broad daylight, and the sun was still high in the sky, yet the whole world seemed to have darkened.

The black celestial body continuously radiates energy outwards, and with it comes a series of anomalies that spread throughout the entire world.

Anyone can tell that this kind of celestial phenomenon is definitely not a good thing.

Meanwhile, inside the Spire Palace, the headquarters of Sintira's Inquisition, all the high-ranking members of the Inquisition emerged from the building!
"By the Emperor... it's Tyrant Star! How could Tyrant Star appear here..."

Those few insiders from the courtroom uttered words of disbelief.

This time, the appearance of Tyrant Star was completely different from the patterns they knew... They hadn't even noticed any obvious signs before.

"Quickly! Something terrible is about to happen in Sintila! Notify all departments of the Empire that Lord Gao Yi and Lord Guilliman are both in Sintila! Find a way to contact them!"

The only good news for this planet and for the people of the Inquisition is that Gao Yi and Guilliman are here too.

They used the quantum communication system to send out distress signals to nearby star systems immediately. However, although the signals arrived, a subspace storm of this scale was definitely not something that the conventional fleets of those empires could traverse.

The Tyrant Star at this time is different from any Tyrant Star in the past.

Having absorbed a large amount of divine power belonging to the Four Gods, the disasters it can bring far exceed any that have ever occurred before.

In the wilderness of Sintira, dense warp energy began to condense into solid, pitch-black poison.

These poisonous fogs appeared out of nowhere and began to spread across the entire surface of the planet. Now, these fogs are mixed with the deadly plague that comes with the power of the evil god Nurgle.

The first to suffer was the mobile city of Ambulun, which was constantly moving across the wilderness.

Nearly ten million humans also live on the enormous Ambulon.

This mobile city, which constantly collects various minerals and resources in the wilderness, has already increased the power of the mysterious engine of this self-propelled machine to the maximum, but it still cannot get rid of the constantly attacking poisonous fog.

"Damn it, faster! Faster! The mark of purity of the Montgomery dynasty! Quickly please the machine spirit!!!"

"My lord! We've done it! The engines are running at full power!! By the Emperor, we're about to be surrounded by this poisonous fog, we can't escape!"

"Quickly request aid from the Nest City World! Ask them to send people to support us!"

"The Nest City is not responding to our distress signals, and it has also descended into chaos! What on earth is going on?!"

When the toxic fog enveloped it from all sides, only a small number of informed dignitaries left the mobile city in spacecraft at the first opportunity.

The rest of the people could only stay in this self-driving city and accept their fate.

The workers inside Ambulon, doing their tedious tasks, were completely unaware of what was happening outside.

The pitch-black poisonous fog completely engulfed the entire Ambrun. Watching their compatriots struggle and die tragically in the fog, the remaining humans tried to put on gas masks, but they could not resist the Nurgle plague that accompanied the poison.

In less than half an hour, almost all the civilians of the empire within Ambren were killed or wounded.

In the darkness, only the Emperor's Cathedral protected a small number of survivors on Ambrun, but those killed by the poisonous fog slowly began to be transformed into walkers. Nurgle even tore open a portal with the help of warp power.

Plague Space Marines and a Great Unclean One arrived directly in this world.

Countless Nurgles chirped and surged forth, beginning to occupy every inch of Ambrune's land.

The Emperor's faith withstood the poisonous fog and the Nurgle plague, but it could not withstand the physical attacks from the Astartes plague.

These plagues from the Astartes began to seize control of the massive self-propelled city of Ambren and were driving it toward Sibelius, the main hive of Sintira where Gao Yi and Guilliman were located.

The cannons mounted on it had even begun firing at the hive city, and the Nurgle demons on Ambrun guided the poisonous fog directly toward the hive world.
