Travel to Warhammer 40K with Grey Wind

"Fabius Bile requests to see you, Warmaster." An Astartes wizard wearing blue and gold power armor, a long sword on his waist, and an exaggerated headdress came to Abaddon and whispered: "He claims that there is something you must see with your own eyes. Once you see his work, you will definitely agree to cooperate with him."

Abaddon frowned: "Bile? That guy..."

Although Abaddon had some cooperation with the mad doctor on a few matters such as gene-seed, he was not very impressed with Bile.

"As far as I know, Bile was in the Word Bearers' territory a few years ago, secretly researching something with Kor Phaeron." Abaddon thought for a moment. He had extensive connections and was well-informed in Chaos, so he had a vague understanding of even such secret matters.

"The latest news is that the Word Bearers' demon base 'Gormek' was destroyed by the Imperial fleet. Kor Phaeron was killed, the Word Bearers' fleet suffered heavy losses, and Bile is missing... Khayon, in your opinion, is there any hidden conspiracy behind Bile's seeking cooperation with me?" Abaddon looked at the Astartes wizard with a long sword on his waist beside him.

Khayon quickly replied, "The risk is low, Warmaster."

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Abaddon was somewhat curious as to why Khayon could make such a decisive judgment.

"Because this Bayer is the new Bayer," said Kayon.

"I see..." Abaddon suddenly realized.

Fabius Bile is the genetic offspring of Fulgrim. For thousands of years, he has been suffering from the genetic disease "Blight" of the Emperor's Children, and his body has decayed at a rate different from that of ordinary people. For this reason, Bile had to work hard on cloning technology, regularly transferring his consciousness to a clone to reset the state of the Blight and prolong his life.

At this moment, the Bayer who came to ask to see the Chaos Warmaster was recognized by Khayon who possessed powerful psychic powers - he was the "new" Bayer, a brand new body that Bayer had just completed the transfer of consciousness into.

"The last time I saw Bayer, his condition was stable, but this time he has changed into a new body." Kayon explained: "Byer is very likely to have died in the battle when the Imperial Fleet destroyed Gormek, and he has just recently resurrected from his new body."

And the "work" he must show Abaddon now is most likely the thing that Bile had previously studied with the Word Bearers on Gormek.

"In that case, we need to go and see it ourselves." Abaddon nodded with satisfaction and left the Spirit of Vengeance with Khayon.

At a ground base on a rocky planet, Abaddon saw Bile's "work".

It was a gigantic, long, slug-like mollusk, the height of its front half already surpassing that of an average dreadnought mecha.

"This is the 'Azjan bug', a ferocious yet docile domestic animal."

Khayon had used his psychic powers to place the slug in an arena; there was always room for duels in the Chaos warband's stronghold.

According to Bile's request, Abaddon could send three elite warriors from his personal guard to surround and kill the "Azjan worm", but out of the Warmaster's pride and trust in his warriors, the Chaos Warmaster only sent a battle-hardened veteran wearing Terminator armor.

This Terminator veteran was wearing ancient armor that could be considered a relic in any Imperial regiment, and his hands were equipped with huge power claws and triple bolts. He was like a mobile heavy firepower turret. But perhaps because he felt that long-range killing was not enough to show his ferocity in front of the Warmaster, the Black Legion veteran chose close combat.

With heavy steps, the veteran rushed towards the seemingly harmless Azjan worm, a giant slug.

Bayer did not give any instructions to the Azjan worm. The Terminator's power claws on both arms suddenly opened, and a rapid electric current wrapped around his fingertips. Accompanied by a fierce battle cry, his claws ignored the thick mucus covering the surface of the Azjan worm and pierced directly into the slug's body.

The moment the power claws pierced his flesh, he realized something was wrong.

What he was equipped with in his hands were not ordinary chainsaws or cold weapons, but power claws, which belonged to the same power weapon series as the power sword and power spear. Each claw tip was covered with a decomposition force field, and when operating at full power, it could tear open thick ceramic power armor like a knife cutting cheese.

But even with such sharp claws, when tearing the flesh and blood of the Azjan worm, one could feel an extremely thin, almost imperceptible...stagnation.

This feeling shouldn't have appeared. The flesh of the Azjan worm actually caused the tearing of the power claws to feel a little sluggish.

What kind of fucking muscle density is that...

This thought flashed through the mind of the Terminator veteran for only a moment, and the next moment, the enraged giant slug broke his spine along with the skeleton of the Terminator armor.

"Abaddon stood up suddenly. How could he sit still when he saw his soldiers being killed by aliens?

However, before Abaddon could ask for the responsibility, Fabius Bile spoke first: "I reminded you to send at least three warriors to fight the Azjan bugs."

Chapter 252: Change Begins

"This creature is called an Azjan worm."

Fabius Bile introduced: "This creature possesses the ultimate power that is strong enough to change the laws of physics - I mean pure physical strength, without any blessing from the warp - while having powerful strength, the intelligence of the Azjan worm is only about the same as that of a 7-year-old human child, and it is docile by nature and easy to tame. It is an excellent livestock."

"But, just give me a little control." Bayer smiled slightly, and raised one of the mechanical arms on his body and pointed it to the center of the arena.

Abaddon looked in the direction the mechanical arm was pointing. The slippery body of the Azjan worm in the center of the arena was wrapped around the Black Legion veteran like a python, completely collapsing his Terminator armor. Pieces of ceramic steel were peeling off inch by inch, and even the indestructible adamantine skeleton had been twisted and deformed.

The six eyes of the Azjan worm were scarlet, and the seven electrode-like things on its head flashed a dense signal spectrum.

"With just a little bit of control, this docile large livestock can be transformed into a brutal beast of war. Just give me enough time and resources, and I can provide you with a large-scale army of war beasts." Fabius Baird Abaddon raised the controller in his hand with a dark smile: "How about it, our warmaster, are you interested in discussing cooperation with me now?"

Abaddon's frown relaxed: "I am very interested."

On the side, Khayon used his psychic power to take away the body of the Terminator veteran in the arena.

After some communication, Abaddon and Fabius Bile each got the results they wanted.

The physical strength of the Azjan worm is strong enough to kill the bravest Space Marine through its armor, and its physique is also thick and tough, which can be called a clumsy organic version of the Dreadnought. More importantly, while its combat performance is only slightly inferior to the Dreadnought, its manufacturing cost is not much higher than that of the Ogryn. According to Bayer, he can clone this slug in batches with surprisingly low consumption.

So how low is this "astonishingly low" consumption? Abaddon asked.

—Equivalent to a plasma pistol, Bayer said.

Abaddon then learned that the cost of an Azjan, whose combat power was comparable to that of a Dreadnought, was actually much lower than that of a plasma pistol, perhaps even less than half.

Facts have proved that technology is the primary productive force, whether now or forty thousand years from now.

The partnership between the Warmaster and the Mad Doctor was established.

Meanwhile in the Eye of Terror, Fulgrim had left his daemon world of Caraxes and was dragging his serpent's tail deeper into the realm of Slaanesh.

"I need to know what happened in the Stone Fortress at that time, the stopped swallowing, the Warp waves that rose and fell like the tide... what was going on." Fulgrim silently repeated the purpose of his visit in his heart to calm his mind, and passed through the outermost Ring of Greed in the realm of Slaanesh, surrounded by countless lust maidens.

Slaanesh's domain is divided into 6 areas, one ring inside another to form a huge concentric circle with 6 layers of rings, protecting the residence of Slaanesh himself, the "Hall of Joy". If you want to reach where the Prince of Pleasure is, you must pass through these 6 corrupting rings.

Fulgrim swam forward, leaving the first Ring of Greed far behind, and then passed through the second Ring of Gluttony, and the third Ring of Lust... Fulgrim moved hurriedly, because he felt that his experiences during this period were somehow strange and he desperately wanted to know the truth.

For example, after Fulgrim was defeated by Llane and Slaanesh's attempt to devour the Stone failed, the Prince of Pleasure was not angry, nor did he punish Fulgrim. He just stayed in the Hall of Joy and never came out.

Fulgrim could sense that Slaanesh's emotions were not angry at all, but rather...excited. Just like a teenager who had just experienced his virginity, wrapping himself in a blanket and reliving the forbidden feeling all night long, masturbating crazily over and over again.

Fulgrim was shocked and confused, and wanted to know what had happened to Slaanesh.

Then it immediately crossed the Ring of Power and continued swimming towards the Palace of Joy, intending to ask Slaanesh in person.

Just as Fulgrim was about to pass through the penultimate Ring of Vanity, suddenly, with a long roar that echoed throughout the Sea of ​​Souls, Slaanesh's mood changed, and the entire Slaanesh realm in the Warp began to tremble because of the will of the Chaos God.

Fulgrim was horrified.

"What happened? The Prince of Joy's mood changed from excitement and joy at the beginning to an indescribable extreme resentment and anger, as if something extremely important was taken away from him. This resentment was so great that even the Palace of Joy itself was shaking! What on earth happened?!"

Standing in front of the Ring of Vanity and gazing at the magnificent palace that was constantly shaking in the distance, Fulgrim felt that he was increasingly unable to understand what was happening here.

Who and what kind of existence could have angered Slaanesh to this extent?

Fulgrim didn't want to think about it, nor did he dare to think about it. He turned his body and quickly left the realm of Slaanesh with a long and endless roar.

At the same time in the Far East Star Region, in the study of Faya Sky Garden, Russell and Magnus, who were reading books, raised their heads at the same time.

"Did you feel that, too?" Russell asked.

Magnus nodded: "Just in the last moment, something that is absolutely not allowed to happen happened."

Its statement is very vague, because the revelation that Magnus's one-eyed creature obtained from the Sea of ​​Souls was itself very vague, and any truthful statement would sound very much like a riddle.

Compared to Magnus, the omens that Russell "saw" were much clearer.

"I saw a being with a will as dark as the end, and heard the roar and groan of Slaanesh's impotent rage. A change has begun in the subspace and will simultaneously affect the real universe." Russell narrowed his eyes, as if observing something: "The starting point of this change affecting reality is... um? What is that place?"

Russell was somewhat unsure of the location of the scene he vaguely saw, so he turned around and looked across the desk, where a Slaanesh Daemon, tied up with rune chains, was half lying.

Lupanath, the Proposalter. She has close ties to Slaanesh.

"Do you have any idea what just happened?" Magnus asked. "What happened to Prince Joy?"

Rubana said nothing, just stared at Russell motionlessly.

So Russell repeated Magnus's question.

Lupanas then said softly in a lover's coquettish tone: "Someone has taken away Prince Joy's treasure... Prince Joy's most precious treasure."

Chapter 253 Shipborne Galaxy

The result of questioning Lupanas was that Lupanas was also a riddle person. It seemed that those who played with psychics couldn't speak properly. Russell was confused.

The more he dealt with the warp ghosts, the cuter Russell found Grey Wind. She always said what she meant, never told riddles, and never lied to him. Grey Wind was the most reliable.

Leaving the Sky Garden with a lot of puzzles in his mind, Russell came to the Tranquility Black Space Station and went to the giant dock with Grey Wind to check the construction progress of "Overlord".

The construction of the dominant ship "King of Taixu" began immediately on the day the giant dock was completed. Therefore, to be precise, she was the first ship built by the giant dock. It was just that due to the long construction period, she has not been completed until now. Instead, several batches of ships built later have been shipped out of the factory, and the construction progress of King of Taixu has been less than 50%.

However, the good news is that the most difficult parts to build, such as the Overmind skeleton, core reactor, and computing center, have already been built. The remaining 50% is technically low-difficulty work such as embedding armor on the frame and installing the dock, which will be completed soon.

The Cybertrons, which had been stripped of their weapons and refitted into engineering Titans, carried raw materials and parts back and forth in the dock. This luxurious use was enough to make any mechanic jealous, but in Gray Wind's opinion, the efficiency was not enough, far from enough.

"The Lord of the Junlin Taixu is expected to be fully completed and put into use in three years, that is, in the 3th year of the 40th millennium."

Gray Wind reported the progress of the construction of the Overlord to Russell truthfully, and then changed the subject: "Then Marshal, I want to ask for your opinion on something."

"Hmm? You say." Russell looked at her.

"It's time to choose the site for the Sentinel Array." Gray Wind said briskly, "Should this giant structure still be built at the black hole event horizon of the Serene Black Domain? Or should it be built in a galaxy with a higher concentration of habitable planets such as Nirvana or Aishalin? If you don't make a decision, I can't start the construction."

Grey Wind found it very strange that Russell asked her to build a sentinel array and a strategic command center, but did not tell her about the construction site. This left her with the awkward situation of being unable to start construction after making a construction plan.

"This? No rush." ​​Russell smiled at Gray Wind who was anxiously asking him to choose a location: "You can start by building the main components of the sentinel array, and then assemble them directly, which will be more convenient."

"So where is the site of the megastructure?" Huifeng sighed helplessly. The marshal was becoming more and more nagging.

Russell smiled without saying anything. In the distance, three destroyers slowly entered the dock. The graviton beams drifting at the stern seemed to be dragging something much larger than the hull of a Titan.

Stargate?" Gray Wind was a little confused: "Why drag an unactivated dormant stargate to the dock?"

"To be the core of the Junlin Taixu." Russell patted Gray Wind's shoulder and said, "Take a closer look. Which L-Stargate is this?"

"Terminal exit." Gray Wind recognized it at a glance: "Why did you remove the main door from the Emperor's statue and transport it here? Without the main door, the star gate network connecting to the Far East Star Region will be paralyzed."

"It's okay. I asked the Order of Truth to rebuild a new main gate to replace it. The handover process took less than half an hour. Now the new main gate is transferring the stargate network of the Far East Star Region. As for the old terminal exit... I plan to build it into the core of the Junlin Taixu master ship."

Russell stared at the three destroyers dragging the dormant terminal exit stargate closer and closer, and smiled to Gray Wind, "Because this is the only stargate that can lead to the Xihe system."

"Huh?" Huifeng was startled, then suddenly realized: "So the location of the sentinel array is..."

"It's in Xihe." Russell gently stroked Gray Wind's head. "The two giant structures, the Sentinel Array and the Strategic Command Center, will be placed in the Xihe Galaxy - the triple star system in the miniature galaxy."

The miniature galaxy itself, together with the terminal exit star gate leading to its interior, will be sealed in the inner core of the Lord of the "King of Taixu", and move along with this giant star ship.

"The Overlord is more of a space base that can sail and jump than a war flagship. The Overlord has a complete industrial production line controlled by the warship AI. The main wing and auxiliary wing of the ship are equipped with four large docks and four medium docks respectively. New ships can be built anytime and anywhere or damaged ships can be repaired."

Russell said calmly, "But whether it is construction or maintenance, even if there is a complete industrial production line inside the hull, it still requires a huge supply of raw materials. It is obviously unrealistic to rely on the hull capacity of the Overlord itself to stockpile a large amount of raw materials. This will not only affect the Overlord's sub-light speed, but also cannot withstand much consumption."

Therefore, the appearance of the Overmind is often accompanied by a large number of supply ships, or simply a fleet of mining drones is parked in the Overmind's hangar to dig wherever it goes.
