Warhammer 40 Spring: Loyalty of the Multiverse

Chapter 165: Shock

He was certain that this was a positive development, perhaps even a gift from the emperor!

Raising his arm, his fearless, large hand skillfully helped Tie Hui up and even wiped the dust off the power clip for him!

"Welcome back, my brother!" Aphros patted him on the shoulder and said with relief, "This time, the Emperor's decree will likely be a tough battle!"

He then gave Tie Hui a big bear hug, but he was clearly too excited and underestimated his own fearless, tall body.

That one choke almost made Tie Hui roll his eyes back!

Meanwhile, the remaining personnel from the other battle groups happily went to their respective battle group leaders.

Meanwhile, the Astartes who accompanied them on their journey through the world were happily showing off their transplanted nano-core armor to their brothers!
Especially when the engines on their backs started, they took off directly into the air, causing their own brothers in the battle group to exclaim in surprise!
……

Countless dazzling and colorful energy streams intertwined and merged, seemingly alive as they fused, intertwined, separated, and fought with each other.

Among these were some eerie creatures that seemed to walk on solid land, their forms swaying and appearing here and there.

This is a disordered subspace, a turbulent sea of ​​souls.

The place where the four evil gods reside!

But at that moment, a faint red light suddenly appeared somewhere in this subspace. Like a newborn infant full of curiosity about the world, it began to sway from side to side, probing the turbulent currents of the surrounding subspace.

He is flying, he is observing!

He was curious about everything in the subspace, and even more curious about his own existence.

However, its undisguised power led to an entity silently eyeing the red light.

A long, thin, grayish-white tongue covered with various infant skeletons protruded from a mouth made of sharp teeth constructed from finger bones. Under the influence of the turbulent energy of the warp, the infant skeletons on the tongue seemed to come back to life, their pupils lighting up and letting out a deafening cry.

This cry seemed to be the trigger, and at that moment, the countless baby skeletons on the tongue also cried out in unison.

An invisible ripple instantly erupted from it, and all the chaotic subspace currents around it were scattered in all directions by the sound.

The red light that was still dancing froze in place the moment it was touched by the sound.

Seeing this opportunity, the tongue instantly stretched out, trying to wrap the light up and pull it back into its mouth.

But the instant they made contact, a golden-red flame erupted from the light, instantly scorching the tongue and reducing it to ashes, which then merged into the chaotic energy of the subspace.

The tongue then let out an even more piercing scream. This single scream instantly caused the subspace energy in this area to become even more chaotic!
Upon witnessing this, the Star Speaker aboard a nearby spaceship experienced a sudden swelling of her head, which exploded into pieces amidst her screams, splattering blood and flesh all around.

Immediately afterwards, the entire ship seemed to lose its direction and began to drift with the turbulent currents of the warp. Meanwhile, the red energy in the warp burned the tongue-like entity.

It tried to turn and run away, but the presence of that tongue made a crying sound again, freezing it in place. Then an even thicker tongue stretched out.

At that critical moment, a golden light swept across, slapping the tongue and its owner into ashes.

Then, it swept the trembling red light away, and in its final moments, twisted and slammed the disoriented ship towards something. Meanwhile, in the real world, Tie Hui, who was recounting his time-travel experience to his brothers, suddenly paused, his gaze falling on the bright red five-pointed star on his chest, a look of confusion and bewilderment flashing in his eyes.

He felt as if something had flashed by. It wasn't just a fleeting glimpse in his vision; it was more like a sensation within his very soul!
"What's wrong, buddy?" Afus's enormous mechanical arm grabbed a specially made wine glass that several mortals had brought over and took a sip of the wine that was exclusively supplied to them by Astartes.

Then I saw Tie Hui's stunned expression!

"No! It feels like I just had an epiphany!" Tie Hui didn't tell the truth, but made up a reason.

Upon hearing this, Aphros approached him, his body peering out from inside the armor, and asked, "Could it be another decree from the Emperor?"

As time went on, Aphrodite's control over the Saint-class Dreadnoughts became increasingly refined. To the point that he could now manipulate a Saint-class Dreadnought, its massive mechanical arm patting a mortal's shoulder in encouragement!
"It seems quite similar! But I can't quite put my finger on it." Tie Hui thought about it carefully and realized it was probably that possibility. But he wasn't sure; he didn't know what the weasel was up to!
"Hey! Never mind that, let's drink first! To welcome you all!" Afus said, raising his glass and gesturing for everyone to start toasting.

At the same time, all the Astartes at the table raised their glasses in unison. And at other tables in this open-air banquet, the mortal auxiliary soldiers and other Astartes also raised their glasses!
"For the Emperor! For humanity!"

"For the Emperor! For humanity!"

Well--

But just then, a loud alarm blared in everyone's ears. People who were raising their glasses or eating suddenly changed their expressions, dropped what they were holding, and began to grab their clothes and head to their respective posts.

The moment the Astartes heard the alarm, they immediately rose and rushed to their armored positions.

But even faster were the Astartes and mortal support troops equipped with nanocores.

The Astartes equipped with nanocores, to the astonishment of their brothers, used nanoparticles to grab the power armor that was still being maintained on its respective brackets.

Then, it quickly self-weared on a simple scaffold assembled from nanoparticles.

In just a few seconds, the nano-armor covered the surface of the power armor, the engine nozzles on its back opened, and the whole person took off into the sky.

Meanwhile, the mortal auxiliary officers who had been specially equipped with nanocores during the last ten years before their return also soared into the sky alongside the Astartes.

Meanwhile, the armored soldiers had already donned their armor and boarded the transport planes, ready to launch an attack together with the main force.

Especially the Mechanicus vanguards and armed servants who were on guard around them soared into the sky, closely following Astartes and the mortal auxiliary officers below them.

This scene left everyone, from ordinary Astartes to mortal auxiliary soldiers and other members of the Cult of Mechanics, speechless with astonishment.

"What the hell is this?"

Especially the members of the Mechanicus who hadn't traveled through time emitted a sharp, explosive sound! Binary language was spewed out at an extremely fast speed.

"Reporting, sir! An unidentified spaceship has suddenly appeared at Mandeville! However, according to the keel code transmitted by the other party, we found that there is no corresponding code in our sequence." A voice rang in the ears of the group who were still flying towards the starry sky.
