Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 364 The Wicked Profit
"Comos... I know a little about this thing. It was created by a group of people who are considered extreme even among the Golden Men."

Their construction process was very secretive, but it later disappeared completely, and everyone thought they had failed and that the golden statues had been destroyed along with them.

I never expected that after so many years... Comos would reappear.

Gao Yi and Guilliman may have been bewitched by the evil god, or even formed an alliance with it. Neither of them is what we want to see now.

Their psychic powers may not be a major concern, but the technology they possess, derived from Chaos, could greatly enhance the strength of those who worship Chaos.

For the Emperor, Fletcher's group's psionic abilities were nothing special; it was their technology that worried him the most.

Vashtor's death had already deprived the Chaos traitors of their biggest source of equipment, and Gao Yi also did not want to see these traitors acquire a large number of weapons again.

The protection provided by the combat suits proved significantly inadequate when facing those weapons.

"Golden Men? These guys are actually still alive? Comos is a creation of the Golden Men? So the evil god is pulling the strings behind the scenes after all..."

Gao Yi and Guilliman looked at each other; what was happening in other parts of the empire was not so simple.

The former master of the empire has returned here, and is even connected to an evil god.
If the enemy can unleash so many extinction remnants, can they unleash even more? Just because their battlefield can cope doesn't mean that other worlds of the Empire can withstand the attack of these extinction machines.

Considering those Chaos traitors who plunder different worlds with the remnants of extinction, the current empire might not be able to handle them.

Gao Yi needs to accelerate the production of gene warriors.

Moreover, if Tzeentch could infiltrate one Navigator family, he could certainly infiltrate other families as well, even corrupting a large Navigator family like the Otellius family.

Who knows if other large families in other star systems have also been corrupted?

Both of them could almost guess that the navigator problem seemed inevitable.

“Guilliman, protect these controlled patriarchs. They can’t die now… If the Navigator families in other star systems are constantly being encouraged by Tzeentch to serve the Empire, we might even need members of these patriarchs’ families in an emergency!”
Let's get them off this planet together! Board the warship, I'll gather the troops, and try to destroy Comos!

Moreover, the threat posed by these golden figures is not limited to the extermination of the Relics, the chaos spreading throughout Sintira, and the equally troublesome presence of Comos, which is already close to Sintira.

The situation of the fleet in orbit was also reported, and Comos was still approaching.

The empire can now use extermination orders at will, so Gao Yi must prepare for the worst.

That is, the other party launched an attack on Sintila with some unknown means, like an extermination order.

At this time, the riots spreading in Sintila had already paralyzed a large number of ground defense facilities.

Gao Yi immediately contacted Artanis and Kerrigan, ordering them to bring enough troops to Sintira to stop Komos's advance.

Compared to human warriors, only the Protoss and Zerg can completely ignore the debuffs caused by the warp.

And on the track at this moment.

Sintira's planetary defense fleet has been almost completely defeated.

Strange phenomena that defy the laws of physics are spreading within the warship.

Imperial warships couldn't even get close to Comos at this point.

The area around it is practically no different from being in the subspace.

The Imperial fleet was now in a situation akin to navigating directly in warp space without activating the Geller Field. Its torpedoes, lances, and cannons were all blocked by an energy shield.

The energy beams released by Comos can easily tear through the void shields and armor of Imperial warships.

Tzeentch's invasion of Comos was carried out from within.

This actually allowed the Comos's external armor and various weapons to be well preserved.

The divine power of the four gods and the endless energy of the warp provide a continuous energy supply for these weapons and shields.

Meanwhile, the four gods were also paying close attention to everything that was happening on Cintira.

The rampant chaos and corruption were causing them to continuously send demonic forces toward Sintira.

The battles within Sintira's various hives have begun to shift from suppressing the irrational to confronting demons.

In the subspace of the Four Gods, apart from Tzeentch, the other three gods were once again enraged by Fletcher's defeat...

Tzeentch said he could use these people to kill Gao Yi and Guilliman, so he put aside his hatred for them and temporarily lent him his precious divine power so that Guilliman could better use the power of the Well of Eternity to control Comos...

It should be noted that the demon residing in Comos is Tzeentch's Great Demon, not a demon from the other three gods.

This meant that although the other three gods lent their divine power, the real control of Comos remained in Tzeentch's hands.

Furthermore, the divine power provided by the three gods was essentially no different from being taken advantage of by Tzeentch since they failed to kill Gao Yi and Guilliman.

At this point, the only one who benefited was Tzeentch.

For Tzeentch, even if he couldn't kill Gao Yi, he would have gained another powerful tool that allowed him to freely traverse the real universe and spread the corruption of chaos...

If the villain wanted, he could control Comos to appear in any world within the Empire at will and corrupt it at an extremely rapid pace.

And it requires a long and complicated ritual and sacrifice.

Even in Tzeentch's eyes, Fletcher and his group's use of the Extinction Relic to decapitate was nothing more than an experiment.

If he fails, he fails; it's not a loss for him.

It might even be possible to probe whether Gao Yi has more trump cards up his sleeve.

He also witnessed the domineering attitude of Nadamon and others.
In addition to gaining complete control of Comos, Tzeentch also acquired something of great value.

That was Pasini, who was rescued.

Tzeentch will use him to spread the word about everything Guilliman and Gao Yi plan to do to the Navigators!
Just as Gao Yi thought, Tzeentch has corrupted navigator families in every star system, and these families will become important bargaining chips to split the human empire again!
No matter how realistic a fabrication may seem, it is still a lie. But everything Pasini experienced was real. No matter what means of detection are used, the other Navigators will know that Gao Yi and Guilliman are trying to take down the Navigator family!
Of course, not all Navigator families would rebel against the Empire and embrace Chaos.

Tzeentch doesn't need all the Navigator families to believe him.

Even one-tenth of that would be enough to bring disaster to the current human empire.

Without the help of a large number of navigators, many of the Empire's important star systems would even collapse.

The survival of many star sectors depends on one or two important planets within a single star system. If resources produced by these planets cannot be transported via subspace travel, many planets will lose their weapons and food supplies.

He could also use the technology of these golden men to provide weapons and equipment for the followers of Chaos to conquer those worlds that had lost their ability to travel long distances!
