Travel to Warhammer 40K with Grey Wind

Conservative relic, Russell thought to himself, and then he asked Gustav: "Did the Federation sign any agreement with the Empire while I was away? What are you doing in Cadia?"

"We are trying to awaken the black stone obelisk array here to prepare for closing the Eye of Terror in the future." Gustav answered truthfully.

"Oh?" Russell immediately became interested, and even Mortarion, who was sitting quietly beside him, pricked up his ears.

Gustav explained to Russell a series of things that happened during his absence:

Destroying Solemnath, capturing the Void Dragon, deciphering the Black Stone...and Gray Wind's plan to put all the Breakers into the Eye of Terror and then close the door.

"The Order has cracked the secret of the Black Stone. We can now artificially synthesize Black Stone through equipment such as nano deformers." Gustav said: "Currently, a large number of Project Teams from the Order of Truth are dispersed and deployed throughout the galaxy. The array of black stone obelisks closes those scattered and scattered small warp cracks.”

"Unexpected progress, it seems that Gray Wind should be praised when he goes back... But now that we can independently produce black stone creations, why are you trying to activate these black stone obelisks left by the Necron on Cadia? ?" Russell was a little confused.

"Because the cost of synthesizing black stone has always been high, although the output is considerable, the supply is still in short supply compared to the gap in the entire galaxy." Gustav explained.

After all, in addition to supplying Grey Wind's plan to close all the subspace rifts in the galaxy, there is also a huge demand within the Human Federation and the Human Empire for Black Stone artifacts that can isolate subspace pollution. The output is large, but not enough.

"So the focus of my faction is still on the Necrons' Black Stone creations." Gustav continued, "There are huge amounts of Black Stone creations left by the Necrons scattered all over the galaxy. These Black Stones are not produced by us, so we have no control over them.

But after a long period of research and the assistance of surface acceleration instruments, I have successfully cracked about 7/10 of the instruction set encoding of the Necron. We can directly hack into the system of the Necron ruins and forcibly seize control of these ready-made black stones. . This can greatly reduce the resource consumption of synthesizing black stone, and can also speed up the completion of Secretary-General Gray Wind's plan. "

In short, it is better to rob than to create.

Russell nodded: "I see... It's not surprising that you can decipher the secret of black stone synthesis with the help of the fragments of the Void Dragon. What's more, you actually forcibly cracked the technology of the Necrons without unlocking the strong artificial intelligence. This It surprised me.”

"It's just a clumsy trick to use time to accelerate the hard stack of computing power and computing time. It's half the result with twice the result, and it's not worth mentioning." Gustave did not have a high evaluation of his achievements.

Gustav did not tell Russell about the Astrologer Oerikan and the 'Ascension Protocol' because he didn't know either.

The Ascension Agreement has been listed as the top secret of the entire Order by Gray Wind from the very beginning. Even those with high qualifications and status like Gustav are not qualified to understand it.

Chapter 358 House slaves with three surnames

With the death of Nurgle, unprecedented raging waves rose in the Sea of ​​Souls, the Eye of Terror burst into intense flashes, and the entire Warp was in turmoil.

The unbreakable defense line of the Chaos Warmaster has strung the demonic worlds in the Eye of Terror into a necklace of pearls, and the divine war far away in the supreme sky has greatly reduced the garrison pressure of the Chaos defenders stationed on these pearls.

Originally, the Boundary Breakers nailed dimensional anchors to every node galaxy that did not break the defense line, leaving behind a military force of one battleship. After the Star Destroyer broke into the Crystal Maze, forced open Tzeentch's fortress, and leaked the relic: the breath of the Eternal Throne to the outside world, the Boundary Breaker went crazy.

The high-dimensional creatures that were originally wandering on the ground battlefield, playing a cat-and-mouse hunting game with the Chaos warbands, quickly evacuated the battlefield. They returned to their warships without any desire to fight, ignoring the Chaos node planets that hindered the dimensional anchors from anchoring in time and space, and rushed into the Eye of Terror like a group of mad dogs smelling blood, rushing towards the territory of Tzeentch, the Lord of Change.

On the demon world of Medlengard, the Iron Warriors Legion, which had suffered heavy losses, regrouped its troops under the leadership of Primarch Perturabo, reorganized its organization, and took advantage of the precious time left by the Worldbreakers to rest as much as possible.

The situation on the node planets guarded by other renegade legions is often similar. Due to the departure of the boundary breaker, the Chaos defenders who did not break the defense line finally got a moment of respite.

Except for planets such as Anthrax and Bubonicus that are dominated by Nurgle's power.

The death of Nurgle directly led to the extinction of these demonic worlds, and the Chaos warbands who guarded them with faith in the loving father also died due to the loss of Nurgle's blessing.

Mortarion did not ask Russell about the situation of the Death Guard and Typhons. He already had the answer in his mind.

On the demon world 'Sicarus' dominated by the Word Bearers, it was a different scene.

The Word Bearers are a legion blessed by the four gods at the same time. The power of the four gods flows in their bodies. The death of Nurgle greatly weakened the power of the Word Bearers. Unlike the Death Guard, the Word Bearers' debility is not fatal, but is more frightening to them.

The primarch of the Word Bearers, Lorgar Aurelion, felt this fear particularly keenly.

"The power of the loving father is declining and dying. I can no longer sense the presence of the God of Plague. How is this possible..." Luo Jia knelt down in the 'Pantheon' where the four gods of chaos were worshipped at the same time, his eyes lifeless. He could not accept the fact that a true god had died.

In the wide hall in the center of the Pantheon, in front of Lorgar who was kneeling on the ground, there were four huge statues with different postures.

The God of Blood sits on a brass throne, holding a sword in his left hand and a three-headed hellhound crouching on his right hand.

Half lying on the soft bed, with a charming look and possessing both male and female characteristics, the Prince of Joy.

Floating in the void, with countless eyeballs, feathers, snake scales and tens of thousands of other features wriggling all over his body, the Lord of Change.

And the Plague God, who sits before Nurgle's cauldron, stirring the disease and decay of his soul.

It's just that at this moment, the statue of the God of Plague in front of Luojia has been shattered. It is a conceptual collapse, not caused by external force. He wanted to forcefully deceive himself into denying the fact that Nurgle was dead, but as a powerful psyker in the Pantheon, Lorgar could not turn a blind eye to such a clear feeling.

He clearly heard the wail of Nurgle and the wailing of his loving father, and saw the once immortal God of Plague being dragged into the Void Cave, struggling and crying as he was devoured, with even the concept of his existence being annihilated into nothingness.

God is dead, slain.

"Now, my miserable brother, can you tell me who is the self-deceiver who believes in false gods?" Magnus, wearing a robe and fiery red skin, walked out of the darkness behind Luojia, his purple single eye full of joy. It was a playful look.

Luojia couldn't help but kneel down and did not respond to Magnus's taunt.

Beneath the apparent calm, the Primarch of the 17th Legion was in a state of turmoil.

Magnus smiled and said nothing. He had long seen through the nature of his brother - a coward, a complete coward.

"As early as the Great Crusade, you were worshiping our father the Emperor as a god. You wrote the Emperor's Holy Words, promoted the idea of ​​the Emperor as a god, and used ignorance and superstition to dominate those conquered by your legions. The world." Magnus walked slowly behind Luojia and said:

"Even though my father has repeatedly denied the exaggerated remarks that exaggerated him as a god, and banned the propaganda of the emperor as a god on more than one occasion, you remain unmoved. You stubbornly regard your father as your heavenly father and savior. , the only true god... until the Perfect City was trampled under the feet of the Ultramarines, and you knelt in humiliation before the Emperor and Guilliman."

Magnus sneered in a mocking tone, "However, you, who believed in the Emperor so devoutly, embarked on the so-called 'pilgrimage' without hesitation after being deceived by Erebus and Kor Phaeron. After entering the Eye of Terror and recognizing the existence of the Four Chaos Gods, you abandoned your insignificant and ridiculous faith without hesitation. It can be seen that your so-called piety to God is nothing but a joke."

"No!" Luojia suddenly shouted loudly: "The Emperor betrayed us... He fabricated the truth of the Empire, he concealed the existence of the real gods, and he used wrong theories to deceive everyone, so I... "

"That's why you chose to abandon the Emperor and choose to believe in the true gods - is it true?" Magnus asked with a smile.

Luojia opened his mouth to speak, but when he saw the broken Nurgle statue in front of him, he didn't say anything.

"Admit it, my miserable brother, the reason why you abandoned your faith was never because of the Emperor's concealment or the fallacy of the Empire's truth. It was simply because - at that time, the Chaos Evil God was more powerful than the Emperor."

Magnus stretched out an index finger and poked his temple: "What faith? What salvation? What bullshit god? You, Lorgar Aurelion, pathetic guy, you have never had a true Faith, you are just used to kneeling at the feet of beings more powerful than yourself."

"When the Emperor was the most powerful being you knew, you worshipped him fanatically. You used all your life's knowledge and searched your brain to find evidence that the Emperor was a god."

"When you realized that there was a being in the galaxy more powerful than the Emperor, you simply abandoned the Emperor's faith for which you had devoted so much effort, and converted to Chaos without hesitation."

"And now? Nurgle is dead. He was killed! A being more powerful than the Chaos Evil God has appeared!"

Magnus shouted loudly: "Tell me, Luojia! Are you going to choose to kneel at the feet of that more powerful being again this time, humbly bowing your head and licking the floor that he has stepped on?!"

Chapter 359 Crimson Waste Paper

Magnus originally wanted to tell Luojia the news of Guilliman's promotion to Lord of War to further stimulate him, but seeing Luojia's dejected look, Magnus knew that the heat was enough. If you add more information, Luo Jia will go crazy.

Magnus, who felt that he had a chance to win, left the words "Think carefully" in the Chaos Pantheon, and then left Sicarus, as smoothly as if he was in no man's land, so that the Word Bearers stationed on it The army felt humiliated.

The task Russell gave Magnus was to make full use of his abilities and knowledge, act as a troublemaker in the Eye of Terror and the Unbreakable Line of Defense, and add as much obstruction to Chaos as possible. No specific task indicators were given. Therefore, this trip specifically to break Luojia's defense was actually not an instruction given by Russell, but Magnus's self-expression.

It can be seen that Magnus has a very positive work attitude and a strong subjective initiative.

In comparison, Russell seemed very lazy. After bidding farewell to Gustav, he took Mortarion and lingered on Cadia for a few days before reluctantly passing through the star gate and returning to Faya.

"Welcome home~" As soon as he came out of the star gate, the excited Gray Wind ran all the way and pounced on Russell. His seemingly slender and petite body was made up of dense nanorobots, and his actual weight was at least 3-5 times that of a human girl of similar body shape. He pounced on him with powerful momentum and almost knocked Russell to the ground on the spot.

Do gods also have mortal desires? Mortarion silently looked at the girl rubbing against Russell's arms like a cat, feeling a little surprised. It turns out that even a being powerful enough to kill the evil god Nurgle would have a close lover waiting for him to come home under the strong light?

But after carefully looking at Gray Feng, Mortarion's expression suddenly became serious, and the slightest touch from before disappeared immediately.

This girl is not human!

Not even organic life…

It was a humanoid form that was made up of countless micro-mechanical nano-robots. It was controlled by a special high-level Gestalt will and was disguised as a beautiful and charming human girl. The intelligence and understanding of this will are not inferior to those of humans and other primates, and are even more advanced. Her mere existence violates every detail of the 'Crimson Protocol' set by the Emperor to prohibit artificial intelligence. Every byte in the program.

To put it another way – it’s an Ironman.

Mortarion subconsciously wanted to take the scythe and kill the iron man in front of him, but when he stretched out his hand, it was empty. He's not even wearing power armor right now. Not to mention weapons.

Russell, who was knocked to the ground by Grey Wind, stretched his shoulders that were sore from being hugged by her, and looked up at Mortarion behind him.

"I know what you are thinking, I advise you to just think about it."

"Okay." Mortarion nodded obediently.

For a Star Bomber who is powerful enough to kill gods, the only difference between Crimson Protocol and toilet paper is that it is not as useful as toilet paper.

Grey Wind raised his head from Russell's chest and looked at Mortarion with some confusion. "This man's physical structure and genetic characteristics... Wow, Marshal, have you kidnapped another Primarch?"

"I picked it up when I was killing Nurgle. Come on, get up first. My ribs are about to be broken."

Gray Feng stood up obediently, and before he did, he disintegrated a finger into a nano-robot and climbed onto Russell's body, smoothed away the wrinkles and dust on his clothes, and said softly: "Marshal, come with me quickly, I have a A big surprise for you."

"Hmm...the fragments of the void dragon and the black stone?" Russell touched her forehead with some guilt: "Unexpected gains are a big help, but I still have to remind you to be as steady as possible and underestimate the space. If you are an undead, don’t say it’s you, even I might be overturned.”

Gray Feng was frustrated, "What? It turns out you already knew it. Marshal, please tell me who leaked the news? I'm going to deduct his salary."

After Russell called out Gustav's name, Gray Wind heaved a sigh of relief, and his lovely smile bloomed again, "Great, it's him who said that. This means that the most important 'Ascension Protocol' has not yet been made known to you."

"Ascension Agreement?" Russell asked curiously, "What is that? In addition to the Star God Fragments and Black Stone Technology, do you have any other gains?"

"Hmph, it's something very impressive." Gray Feng put his hands on his hips, proudly puffing out his chest, with a smug expression of "Come and praise me" on his trembling face, "But just because it's so important, I think this Don’t let others know about it easily.”

As he spoke, Grey Wind glanced at the silent Mortarion.

Russell immediately understood and summoned several intermediate monks from the Order of Truth to take Mortarion down for a physical examination.

Later, Russell, alone and accompanied by Gray Wind, entered the Gray Gu mothership docked above Falla.

The familiar 'union' atmospheric pressure and the silver-white cabin structure inside the Gray Gu mothership made Russell feel a pleasant emotion called a sense of belonging that he had not seen for a long time, and he relaxed.

As if sensing his change in mentality, Huifeng smiled and handed him a glass of water.

Russell smiled knowingly, took the water glass and drank it in one gulp, and walked deeper into the cabin, just like he had boarded the Gray Goo mothership for the first time hundreds of years ago to view the relics.

Over the years since its founding, the Order of Truth has acquired many treasures. In addition to ancient relics for scholars and scientists to study, such as the Wotaum Reality Perforation Instrument, the Transcription Instrument, the Orb of True Knowledge,... and other unique and precious treasures, Without exception, they were all stored in the Gray Gu mothership, filling Xiao Hui's belly to the point where he could hardly hold it anymore.

Approaching the middle section of the ship, one of the largest cabins houses a huge circular instrument with clear white light flowing through it.

There are three such ring-shaped instruments in total, three extra-dimensional time loop cages designed and built by anthropologists, which imprisoned three violent Star God fragments in Gray Wind's body.

"These three extra-dimensional time loop cages imprison, from left to right: Ishtar the Endless; Mephitlan the Deceiver; Orikan the Void Dragon..." Gray Wind introduced with his hands behind his back: "Originally there was also a ruler named Zahurash, but Zahurash was eaten by the Worm of Time..."

Russell frowned, "What did you call the Void Dragon just now?"

"Orican."

"Isn't it Magradros?" Russell wondered, noticing something was wrong. He looked at the time in the cage in front of him, and said, "If I remember correctly, Orikan should be the name of a Necromancer..."

"Yes, that's right, it's the Necrons, the Marshal you told me before when you told me the story, the time warlock, the astrologer Orikan."

Grey Wind trotted to the Time-Travel Cage that held the Void Dragon Fragment, spread his legs, opened his arms, and stood in front of Russell in an exaggerated "big" font posture. He said with rare admiration: "Orikan is really a super genius! He used something called the "Ascension Protocol" to erase the will of the Void Dragon Magradros, completely formatted the Star God fragment, and overwrote his own consciousness on it."

"Orican took away the body of the void dragon! It ascended to become a god!"

Gray Wind puffed up his chest proudly, with pride on his face: "This is a truly reliable path to becoming a god! The Ascension Agreement in Ourikan's mind is my biggest gain this time. I give it to you, Marshal How are you going to reward me?"

Looking at her expectant eyes, Russell felt his legs go a little weak.
