Warhammer 40 Spring: Loyalty of the Multiverse

Chapter 116 The Remains of the Ark and the World Tree

"Let's start equipping the Blazing Armor first! We can use AI to automate the manufacturing while there's no Chaos influence here. As for the Astartes power armor..." At this point, Tie Hui subconsciously turned his head to look at Karl, who was floating around outside, "Let's thoroughly understand the Ark first."

"Yes! Your lord!"

……

Asgard - Hwag Machine
As the incubation chamber door slowly opened, the auxiliary robot rushed forward to catch Rui, who was about to fall inside.

Not far away, outside the robot's cordon, Heya could no longer contain her emotions and hurriedly crawled under the cordon.

Disregarding her image, she approached Rui and, before the auxiliary robot could react, pushed it away and hugged Rui tightly.

Perhaps it was the strong heartbeat of Reina in her arms that pulled her back from her longing, and Heya anxiously looked down to check if Reina had any other wounds.

She had witnessed the injuries Rui sustained when he was sent into the incubation chamber, and she was now afraid that Rui had not fully recovered.

"Academician Heya Edas, the experimenters need to rest and await further observation of their physical condition. Please stay away!"

At this moment, several auxiliary robots were already holding Hela, as well as Torres Legge, whom they had obtained from the Golden Viper.

Despite the warnings from the auxiliary robot beside her, Hea Edas held onto Ra tightly, refusing to let go. She was afraid that if she let go, Ra would disappear again like before.

"Academician Heya Edas! Please do not interfere with our work, or we will take force...!" Before the auxiliary robots could finish speaking, they suddenly stopped moving and their voices disappeared.

Even the noise from colleagues outside the cordon disappeared, and the atmosphere became somewhat serious.

Sage Hildan waved his hand, signaling the auxiliary robots to lead Hela and Torres Legge away. He then slowly approached Heya Edas from behind. "I've already applied to Archsage Yuramirs, and from now on, you will personally care for Ray Edas... just like you did when he was young! What do you say?"

"Why did you do this?" Heya hugged Rui tightly and looked up, her exquisite and intellectual beauty gazing at the sage Huierdan, whose body had been excessively modified by machinery.

"Which aspect are you referring to?" Sage Hui'erdan stood there, looking down at Heya Edas. The fact that he could patiently answer the homunculus's question was already a result of his good mood today.

After all, Omnesia and Lord Iron Radiance had affirmed his research findings on the Blazing Armor. This made him exceptionally happy!

When Heya heard this question, her slightly agitated emotions gradually subsided, and she knelt on the ground in a somewhat dejected manner.

What a contemptuous reply!
Seeing that she didn't answer immediately, the Sage Hui'erdan continued, "If you mean why we treated the Yuanxing civilization this way? Then I can't answer you... For our civilization, we are already very merciful. If you want to ask about you Asars... then I can't answer that either, because you are artificial beings... born that way!"

A mechanical tentacle slowly reached out from under the cloak towards Rui, an action that filled Heya with both fear and dread. She clung tightly to Rui, even kicking her legs backward with all her might.

"Don't be afraid! This is a potion to help them recover..." The mechanical tentacle reached Rui's neck, and suddenly a needle was inserted into Rui's throat. "I've read the historical records of Yuanxing. As androids, you controlled the upper echelons of human society through attrition and transformation. If it weren't for the last four surviving elite humans who exposed you, you Asars would probably have become the dominant race on Yuanxing. I wouldn't believe it if your leader, Pax Mimir, wasn't involved..."

Sage Huidan withdrew the syringe and retracted the mechanical tentacles. "Perhaps... the truth about the Quartz City explosion is different from what everyone thinks! After all, most of your Asar population was in that city, and only a few high-ranking Asars survived!" "So... what do you want?" Heya looked down at Rui in her arms, whose face was slowly turning rosy. She calmed her emotions and looked up coldly to ask.

"I want to know... the true origins of you Assassins!" With that, the sage Hurdan gave her a deep look before slowly turning and leaving.

Only then were the cordon removed, and the Asa researchers who had gathered around dispersed to do their own things.

But one person remained behind. Heya struggled to lift Rui. But when she looked up, she saw a white-haired man standing there, his gaze fixed intently on her.

"Greed...you've recovered?"

……

“Parks Mimir…the supreme leader of the Crown Organization. Also the leader of Asa, and the leader of the Human Alliance…” Tie Hui looked at the locked-up Parks opposite him and casually introduced his deeds.

Five years was more than enough time for an Imperial cruiser to catch up with the fleeing Ark. More than 30 Astartes, ten Terminator armored ships, and two Saint-class Dreadnoughts quickly captured the Ark and brought it back.

"I'm not interested in your personal grudges... all I want to know now is the Ark!" Tie Hui emphasized the word "Ark." In the original setting, the Ark was the wreckage of a massive spaceship that crashed on the surface of Yuanxing. A huge plant completely covered the spaceship at its core. But now, all that remains of the Ark is that small device and the bare mountainside. After inspection, it was discovered that the current Ark device was likely the control system from the command center of a spaceship.

A thorough geological investigation around the mountain revealed traces of plant roots, and judging from the density and depth of these roots, they likely encased the entire mountain.

"Sir, what do you want to know? I can tell you everything!" Parks's small face still had that calm and composed expression.

"Where are the other wreckage of the spaceship... and the World Tree?" After taking control of the entire star system, Tie Hui and his group searched through documents and dug deep into every planet, but they couldn't find the wreckage of the Ark spaceship or the plant called the World Tree.

After studying the Assar and nanotechnology, as well as the Ark, the Great Sage Yuramirs discovered that everything was different from what Lord Ironbeard had mentioned.

As her research deepened, she felt that the Assa people's bodies were not entirely created based on the technology of the Ark.

Especially in her in-depth exploration of the Ark of the Sacred Relic, she found that many times when she wanted to continue her research, after reaching a certain point, she found that there was no trace left to study, as if the technology had been suddenly cut off in the process of development.

This left her completely bewildered.

Therefore, if we can obtain the complete wreckage of this alien spaceship, the direction of many technologies will be clarified.

Moreover, if they could obtain that so-called World Tree, perhaps the most basic genetic code of the Assamen would be fully revealed to the Great Sage Yuramirs.

Based on this direction and technology, the black shell and nano-core of Astartes can be upgraded. This might significantly improve its battery life!
