Warhammer: Empire Reboot

A bloody struggle over resources and living space has begun on the very edge of this internet-connected city.

On the other side of the galaxy, lies the Eye of Fear.

With Forgrim beheaded by Hound-05, Karn executed by the battle order, and Peturabo and his flagship thrown into the Comoros arena by Lawson, the command structure of the Chaos Alliance was completely emptied out in just a few hours.

After realizing something was wrong, Abaddon had already led the remaining Black Legion fleet back into the depths of the warp rift.

The Word Bearers, the Alpha Legion, the Red Pirates...

Countless war gangs rushed to turn their ships around and surge towards the only rift that could save their lives.

But Lawson clearly didn't intend for them to leave so easily.

"Order."

"The Seventh Blackrock Fortress, along with the five battle moons, will continue to push 30,000 kilometers deeper into the Eye of Terror."

That's no longer a simple lockdown.

That's practically like pressing your face directly against the gaping maw of the Eye of Fear.

The intensity of the subspace storm, the corrosive power of chaotic energy, and any unknown terrors that might emerge from the depths of the rift will increase by tens of times.

The Seventh Blackrock Fortress, a structure powerful enough to influence the gravity of stars, began to move slowly.

The pure black stone structure, amidst the distorted light and shadow of the warp, exuded a darkness that devoured everything.

The five battle moons surrounding it also activated all their gravity engines simultaneously.

Following the fortress's lead, we grind together into the depths of that galaxy's scar.

The Abaddon, along with hundreds of Imperial Dark Side fleets, formed a second noose, advancing alongside this unprecedented mobile Great Wall.

The scene was both magnificent and terrifying.

It was as if an invisible giant hand was holding a huge gate made of black stone and steel, trying to completely close the wound of the Eye of Fear, which had been flowing with pus for thousands of years.

The fleeing Chaos Fleet became the first victims crushed by this massive gate.

Just as a Word Bearer's Hades-class battleship completed its turn, it found its retreat completely blocked by a combat moon with a diameter of over three thousand kilometers.

In desperation, it aimed all its main guns at the moon and fired a final salvo.

Immediately afterwards, the omnidirectional light spear array of the Battle Moon was activated.

Thousands of blazing beams of light vaporized the battleship, along with several escort ships around it, into cosmic dust.

On the other side, a dozen cruisers attempted to squeeze through the gap between the battle moons.

They underestimated the fleet's ability to coordinate.

The main cannon of the Seventh Blackrock Fortress recharged, and a beam of light swept across the area.

Wherever the beam of light passed, more than a dozen cruisers, along with the space around them, vanished without a trace.

The massacre continues.

Just then, the voice of swarm intelligence rang in Lawson's mind.

[Current subspace energy balance: 1007452891 points.]

[The conditions for the seventh jump have been met.]

Should we perform a jump?

Chapter 287 The Seventh Basal Transition and the Biphasic Dominant Godhood

The seventh gene base leap has finally arrived!

Based on the rate at which he extracts subspace energy, he should have already accumulated the one billion energy points needed for the seventh jump.

But the costs over the years have been considerable.

The system balance has never really accumulated, but it's not too late now.

"The Seventh Blackrock Fortress shall remain in its current position."

"Main cannons of the Combat Moon will remain in a preheated state and will not actively bombard the interior of the Eye of Terror."

"The Lion King will continue to be in charge of the highest military command in the theater of operations."

After arranging the battlefield on the Eye of Fear side, Lawson returned to the Vigilant Star.

He went straight into the bathhouse deep within the Royal Court.

The spacious bath was carved from a single piece of black crystal, with warm spring water flowing from the animal heads on the walls, and pale golden petals that Isa had casually nurtured floating on the surface.

Ilancia and Isa followed behind Lawson, one on each side.

Ilancia stepped forward first and skillfully unfastened Lawson's cloak.

The cloak was neatly folded.

He removed his belt, outer robe, and undergarments one by one and handed them to the attendants waiting outside the screen.

Isa knelt on the edge of the bathtub and reached out to test the water temperature.

Emerald green light quietly emanated from her fingertips.

The spring water became warmer, and the pale golden petals unfurled, releasing a delicate fragrance.

"My lady, the water temperature has been adjusted," Isa said softly.

Lawson stepped into the bath.

Warm spring water washed over my waist and abdomen.

Isa then entered the water, knelt behind him, gathered her long hair to one side, and carefully washed his shoulders and back.

Ilancia knelt on the other side of the bath, cupped warm water, and washed Lawson's arms and chest.

Isa noticed her restraint.

"There are no other Eldar here."

She smiled gently and said, "There's no need to be so nervous."

Ilancia responded softly.

"Yes, Goddess."

Even so, she did not forget the difference in their social status because of Isa's gentleness.

Isa glanced at her but did not continue to correct her.

She approached Lawson from behind, her soft body pressing against his back, her hands slowly massaging along his shoulders and neck.

Ilancia stood ahead with her eyes lowered, diligently completing the task at hand.

The only sounds in the bathhouse were the flowing spring water and the occasional soft rustling of flower petals touching each other.

A moment later, Lawson stood up from the bath.

Ilancia immediately fetched a soft towel and dried his body.

Isa raised her hand and gently stroked the surface. A warm breeze carrying the fragrance of flowers swept past Lawson, causing the remaining water droplets to evaporate.

The two accompanied him into the locker room.

Ilancia knelt before Lawson, helped him put on a pair of loose black trousers, and then straightened his casual robe and fastened his belt.

Isa smoothed the last collar.

The two stood one in front of Lawson and checked him over. Only after confirming that there was nothing wrong did they stop.

Lawson raised his hand and gently pinched each of their cheeks.

A faint smile appeared on Ilancia's face.

Isa obediently moved closer and pressed her face against his palm.

After a brief moment of tenderness, Lawson withdrew his hand.

"Go outside and wait."

Isa and Ilancia both agreed.

After the two walked out of the main hall, the heavy palace gates slowly closed behind them.

Two Dogs, Three Dogs, and the rest of the Primarch-level guards stood guard outside, while eighteen tall figures lined up along the corridor.

Lawson sat on the throne and brought up the system notification again.

[Has the seventh basal transition been confirmed?]

"confirm."

[Deduct one billion points of subspace energy.]

The energy balance suddenly decreased by one billion points.

A layer of dark golden light emerged from Lawson's body, slowly flowing along his skin, muscles, bones, and nerves.

[It has been detected that the original Katachon elite foundation can no longer support the subject's current divinity.]

[A higher-order life form template has been detected: New Human.]

[Basal gene migration begins.]

[Original Template: Katachon Jungle Elite.]

[New Template: New Human - Dominator Type.]

The results of the first six leaps have been compressed and transferred.

All special organs, auxiliary nerve cords, the Imperial Golden Fire Channel, the structure supporting the divine fragments, and the black hole projection interface have been preserved.

Lawson could feel changes happening in his body.

This change is subtle, yet it permeates the entire body.

The structural boundaries that originally belonged to mortal life have completely disappeared.

The body, energy, and soul begin to form a unified cycle.

[The linear physical growth model has ended.]
