Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 365 Cintira's Destruction

Fletcher, teleported back to Comos, strode into Comos's control room with a ferocious expression and tossed the still-dazed Pasini aside.

“Useless.” Fletcher glared at Pasini with hatred. In his eyes, his failure this time was also related to these followers. It was because they provided wrong information that he launched the attack rashly and almost died at the hands of Sintira.

Turning his head to look at the holographic projection in front of him, he saw the chaos between the Empire and Gao Yi's warships, which made his expression improve a little.

At least in its current state, the enemy's warships pose no threat to Comos.

One after another, Imperial warships were reduced to wreckage under Comos's attack.

The Gorgons and other warships that attempted to warp up and jump over the border also failed to break through Comos's defenses.

Comos, empowered by the combined forces of the four gods, causes the Empire's longest-range light spears to distort before they even hit him.

Looking at the disheveled Fletcher and the remaining twenty-four Extinction Relic Machines, Olivia knew that Fletcher's decapitation plan had failed.

"Fletcher, what happened? Even with the Extinction Relics and you, you can't deal with those usurpers?"

“Those usurpers are very strong… They are no weaker than us in the path of psionic energy and genetic technology… They are even stronger…”

Fletcher was still shaken by the performance of Damon and others.

If the opponent couldn't devour his spiritual energy, he was confident he could kill them! However, with Gao Yi's cooperation, Damon and the others' physical advantages were brought to their fullest potential.

“Stronger? How is that possible… Didn’t those navigators say that the usurpers resisted psionic energy? If their technology has really reached this level, how can their warship be so weak…”

"Isn't that hypocrite just like that? And clearly, there's something wrong with humanity's technological development in this era."

Fletcher was clearly referring to the emperors of the Golden Age.

"How many of the weapon systems on Comos are still operational?!"

"Due to damage to some internal facilities, approximately 50% remains."

"What about the Star Destroyer Psionic Weapon Array?"

“I’ve already tested it! If we need it, it should still be able to exert about 60% of its power, which would be enough to cause a catastrophic blow to this planet if we wanted to!”

"Olivia! Activate the weapon array! We must destroy this planet. I don't believe they can survive a planetary explosion, no matter how strong they are!"

The stronger Gao Yi and Guilliman became, the more determined Fletcher became to kill them!

Olivia nodded expressionlessly. Even knowing that there were hundreds of billions of lives on this planet, she still showed no pity.

Human colonization is inherently cruel, and countless aliens and other races have been destroyed by them in this way. These people, who are considered extremists even among the Golden Men, have long regarded themselves as a higher life form in their pursuit of psychic ascension.

While the normal Golden Man was enhancing his psionic technology through genetic modification, his intention was to enable all of humanity to transcend and fully master psionic energy, allowing all humans to control it themselves and thus ignore the disasters brought about by the warp.

After all, humans and Eldar can both use psionic energy, but there is a difference between using psionic energy and being a race born with psionic energy.

For most humans, there is no difference between using psionic energy to create mechanical objects and using solar energy.

Even in the Golden Age, psionicists who did not rely on machines to use their psionic energy were still a minority.

Fletcher and his group, on the other hand, wanted to ascend to a higher level, thereby surpassing all other human individuals.

In their hearts, they have transcended the human race and feel no psychological unease about killing billions of their fellow human beings.

As Olivia activated the weapon systems on Comos, powerful enough to destroy stars, the weapon arrays began to operate again.

A large amount of subspace power was extracted, including even the divine power of the four gods.

Fletcher and his companion showed expressions of surprise as they saw the weapon's power level continuously increasing on the panel.

Comos has achieved a higher efficiency of energy utilization in subspace than they originally estimated.

It was far more than 60%, even exceeding the original limit. At this moment, Gao Yi and Guilliman led the controlled navigator family back to the warship at top speed.

But the warship hadn't even been off track for long.

The piercing alarm of subspace energy on the warship began to resound throughout the entire bridge!

The crew member's voice even trembled uncontrollably.

He had never seen such amazing subspace energy.

"Lord Gao Yi! The massive subspace energy reaction is coming from that strange sphere!"

Both Gao Yi and Guilliman guessed what was about to happen.

"Activate warp immediately and get out of Sintira's range!! Quickly!!"

At the same time, the weapon array surrounding Komos also fired a massive subspace energy beam that spanned the void towards Sintira.

The instant the Star Pioneer left Sintira's range, a massive subspace beam struck Sintira's planetary defense shield directly.

The planetary defense shield, which was already partially paralyzed due to the demonic invasion on the surface, began to collapse under the massive energy surge.

With the shield completely breached, the energy beam struck the ground directly.

When Gao Yi finished his teleportation and looked at Cintira again through the porthole.

All that could be seen was a beam of energy spreading from the point of direct impact towards the entire planet of Sintira.

The magnificent, towering nests began to collapse.

Even if the hundreds of billions of humans on the planet did not perish due to the explosions and collapsed buildings, they would have turned into a pool of liquid the moment they came into contact with this energy.
Perhaps they didn't feel any extra pain before they died.

Humans, demons, and psionicists could not withstand this power for even a second.

The power of an individual seems exceptionally insignificant.

But the disaster didn't end there.

With the help of Comos's own technology and the power of the evil god, this beam of light is tearing the veil of the real universe, and a brand new subspace rift has appeared behind Sintira.

This torn rift is slowly pulling the entire planet Sintira into the subspace.

Gao Yi and Guilliman fell silent upon witnessing this scene.
Subspace rifts are extremely difficult to create. They can only be created at points where chaos sweeps through the galaxy, making the veil of reality very thin.

For example, Cardia and Vigilant Star are extremely difficult to form.

However, a new rift was thus created within the spatially stable Sintira galaxy.

Even if the crack is very small.

"Gao Yi, we must find a way to destroy Comos, otherwise the Empire will face a terrible disaster."

Guilliman seemed to see countless warp rifts appearing throughout the Imperium.

"Full speed ahead! Advance towards Comos!"

Gao Yi also issued the order in a deep voice.

Fletcher and Olivia also spotted the Star Pioneer and its accompanying fleet approaching them.

Although the Star Pioneer has undergone extensive modifications.

However, they immediately recognized it as a colonial ship.
