"Are you saying that the ritual of our ancestors went wrong?!" The Dark Eldar were also furious: "Our ritual can block all human perception of us, including the genetically modified people such as the Astartes and the Custodians. But you are not affected by the ritual at all. There is only one explanation for this -

You are not even human!"

"You fart." Chokrat became angry, and the plasma reactor in his abdomen and the antimatter reactor in his chest roared together, "I am obviously a human being! A real human being!! How dare you falsely accuse me of being an evil Iron Man pretending to be a human being? You are simply deceiving me. !! That’s too much to bully..."

"Ah?" The spirit clan captain was stunned: "I didn't say you were an iron man, I just said you were not a human being."

"You still say that!" Sage Jokrat's furious voice was filled with a cry of grievance. His shoulder was cracked, and several plasma cannons were quickly charged, pouring angry firepower at the alien in front of him without saying a word.

This madman!

The Dark Eldar squad quickly dispersed, dodging the fierce firepower erupting from the Mechanical Sage with agile movements, but the deadly plasma volley was only the beginning. What followed was a dense array of lasers and melt-throwing jets extending from Jocrat's body, releasing devastating firepower in the not-so-wide cabin. He furiously chased the fleeing Dark Eldar in all directions, looking like a crazy fighter determined to fight to the death.

"We must kill all these aliens. No one can be left alive. We must not let them leak my secrets..."

The two reactors in Sage Jokrat's body roared violently, and the huge body driven by dual cores turned into an unstoppable war machine at this moment, destroying all obstacles in its way with unstoppable force.

Chapter 393 Is the Emperor a human being?

The powerful firepower of Forge Sage Jockrat made it difficult for the Eldar team to invade the Valkyrie. This bloated steel behemoth was welded with an excess of combat prosthetics and weapons of destruction. Forbidden science from the Dark Ages allowed him to defend against the Eldar. With his psionic spells and insidious curses, Jocrat continued to pour out his fury on the aliens with molten and explosive weapons.

However, Jokrater's personal force can only temporarily protect the control of the Heroine from being seized by the Eldar, and cannot reverse the overall situation on Hajia.

The heads of the Truth Monks and Ultramarines continued to roll down, and the massacre continued. To push back the invading army of the Dark Eldar, humans needed more decisive power.

Surrounded by hundreds of wraithbone warships, the shipboard AI of the Vision Desire continued to request authorization to use weapons from the remaining living humans.

The absolute rationality of 0 and 1 let 'Horizon Desire' clearly know that its request will never get any response, but it still keeps repeating the red warning of alien invasion, applying for the use of shipborne weapons to the less than 1919 humans remaining in the cabin at a frequency of 100 times per second. This is a responsibility written into the underlying logic of Horizon Desire when it leaves the factory, and it is a useless effort that must be done.

Although all its efforts, including warnings and applications, are meaningless.

However, just when the Horizon Desire sent the usual alarm and weapon use request to a laboratory that was about to be forcibly opened by the Eldar, an unexpected reply came quietly.

The response came from a female researcher in the laboratory, Astoria O. Flavia, a genetic engineering monk in the Biological Department of the Order of Truth.

Flavia had been staying in the biological laboratory located deep in the hull of the Horizon Desire. The laboratory's confidentiality level was the highest level of 'XV' in the federal system. Due to its extremely high security and confidentiality nature, it was not until the Dark Eldar fought all the way to the corridor outside the laboratory door that the controller AI of the Horizon Desire obtained the ability to bypass the electromagnetic shielding field and send it directly to the personnel in the laboratory in accordance with the experimental safety regulations. Notification permissions.

Surprisingly, its application was responded to.

In the laboratory, Flavia, wearing a pure white isolation suit, was puzzled by the application submitted to her by the Horizon Desire. She couldn't imagine under what circumstances the Eldar could bypass the Horizon Desire's security system and directly invade the interior of the warship. Moreover...

"If the battleship is really invaded by aliens, I believe any administrator will directly grant you the authority to activate the self-defense program and purification protocol. Why is your request passed to me?"

Flavia was very puzzled by this. She was not a cutting-edge scientific researcher or a naval officer. She was just a fringe scholar responsible for managing dangerous goods in the laboratory. As an official monk of truth, she did have the authority to authorize senior The AI ​​enables the authority of the weapon system, but as far as normal management procedures are concerned, it should not be her.

The abnormal behavior of the Horizon Desire made Flavia feel instinctively vigilant. The hatred engraved in human genes by the Iron Man rebellion was awakened, and a trace of fear appeared in her heart - the fear of another omnic crisis.

Then came a surge of intense hatred and hostility toward the vision's longing.

"14th generation artificial intelligence - Vision Desire, I need you to give a reasonable explanation for your actions just now and disprove the possibility of your rebellion within 10 minutes, otherwise I will initiate your forced self-destruction process according to the safety regulations of Section 3 of Section 29 of the Intelligent Crisis Prevention Protocol." Flavia said expressionlessly.

While she was making death threats to Horizon Desire, Horizon Desire was caught in a logical self-contradiction.

[The shielding ritual of the Eldar can shield all members of the human race from their perception. Since the alarms and weapons use authorization applications issued by this ship are "information related to the Eldar", they are also within the shielding range, and humans should not be able to Get my warning and request. 】

[However, Astoria O. Flavia successfully received the alarm and responded to the weapon authorization application with doubt. It is known that humans cannot obtain information related to the Eldar. Does this mean that the human individual 'Flavia' is not a human? ]

[If Flavia is not a human, is the authorization she provides me valid? 】

[Is Flavia considered an 'alien'? 】

Vision is unable to answer this question. It is not the strong artificial intelligence of the golden age that possesses self-awareness and iterative learning capabilities. It is simply too difficult for it to try to understand a problem of this magnitude.

At the same time, the Dark Eldar in the cabin had arrived at the door of the laboratory and began to try to crack the locked laboratory door.

This biological laboratory is one of the most confidential and secure compartments in the Horizon Desire, and the security protection protocols for this laboratory have extremely high priority.

Following the underlying principle of 'safety first', Vision Eager temporarily put aside its own logical contradictions, packaged the events of the Eldar invasion and related information into a data packet, and sent it to the nanoterminal in Flavia's brain.

Flavia looked solemn as she finished browsing the data package. "An ancient ritual to block information, a Dark Eldar army numbering hundreds of thousands... Is the situation actually so critical?"

The reason Horizon Crave would be forced to request a weapons authorization from her obscure hazmat handler was simply because everyone else was dead.

"I agree to all weapons authorization requests that Vision desires, and authorize the activation of the highest level of self-defense procedures and purification protocols to immediately eliminate all aliens that have invaded our ship and protect the remaining personnel."

After Flavia finished speaking, the laboratory remained silent. Vision Desire remained silent and did not respond to her authorization.

"what happened……"

As another data stream arrives, Flavia learns of the conflict within the Horizon Desire, suspecting that she is not human because she ignored the Eldar's shielding rituals against humans.

Only humans are qualified to grant authorization to AI created by humans.

At this moment, the Dark Eldar were dismantling the door of the laboratory, and the bloodthirsty aliens were about to break in. Their psychic powers sensed the sweet taste of Flavia's soul, and they couldn't wait to raise the sharp blades in their hands and cut this weak human female scholar into small pieces.

Flavia stared at the door of the laboratory, took a deep breath calmly, and then she said softly: "Let me ask you, Vision Desire, in your understanding, is the 'Emperor' a human?"

Vision longed for a moment of silence, [Yes, the Emperor defines the human race today, the Emperor is human. 】

"Very good, then do you think that the Emperor will be affected by the shielding ritual of the Eldar?" Flavia asked.

[According to the available information on the Eldar Shielding Ritual, it can be proven that the Emperor will not be affected by this ritual. 'Immortals' are extremely special individuals among human beings. Their life levels have been essentially sublimated through some way related to subspace. The immortals have eternal life. The body structure of the immortals is so different from the human genetic sequence that they can almost be considered to have ascended into another race. 】

[The shielding rituals of the Eldar against humans cannot affect the most powerful psychics and immortals in the human race, especially the human Emperor. His god-like power makes all rituals meaningless. 】

Flavia stared at the shaking laboratory door and continued to ask, "If the Eternals are not human, then is the Emperor still considered human?"

The horizon longs for silence.

Then it responded categorically:

[The Emperor is a human being. According to the definition of modern human beings in the Federal Code written by Gray Wind, the Emperor is a human being. 】

"Then I am also a human." Flavia said calmly: "I am not affected by the shielding ritual of the Eldar, because like the Emperor, I am also an immortal."

Vision Desire immediately used the sensors in the laboratory to scan Flavia's body. A moment later, in the main control room of the battleship that was reduced to a pool of blood by the Dark Eldar, a series of green notifications popped up from the master control interface of Vision Desire:

[The authorization is valid and the weapon system is unlocked]

[Purgatory ray begins to charge, Guardian point defense ballistics are being calibrated]

[Self-defense program version 1.7 is in effect, level: XV]

[Purification protocol starts immediately]

The war flagship of the Human Federation woke up in the orbit of the Hagia star. The constraints imposed by the Creator on the artificial intelligence had been lifted. The naval guns fired, turning the blue sky into a sea of ​​boiling fire.

Chapter 394 Hagia’s Escape

In the long history of mankind, many "immortal beings" with powerful power and immortal life were born. The most famous of them is the Emperor himself, followed by Malcador, the Master of the Seal, and Volkan, the Lord of the Fire Dragon.

But in addition to these heroes whose names are familiar to the people of the Empire, there are actually many immortals among the human race.

Long before the Terra Unification War, the Emperor had attempted to recruit the Eternals on Terra to support his cause of reviving humanity, but later due to differences in ideas, many Eternals left the Emperor, and only a few, such as Malcador, remained to continue supporting him.

These immortals who left either wandered outside the sight of the Empire, or joined a mysterious organization called the "Cult", secretly observing the development and changes of human civilization and the galactic situation.

Immortal life and powerful strength give the immortals the capital to be proud of themselves. They regard themselves as guides, hiding in the dark and manipulating the subtle changes in the galactic situation.

But in Russell's view, the so-called immortals in this universe are just the 'chosen ones' who have ascended to spiritual power among the stars.

And when the Star Destroyer emerged in the galaxy, a new regime called the Human Federation rose strongly. Such a major event naturally attracted the attention of the Eternals.

Astoria O. Flavia is one such immortal who is fascinated by the new possibilities of humanity.

She quietly infiltrated the Order of Truth and became a female monk of the Biological Department with neither high nor low ability, nor high or low status. She was inconspicuous no matter how you looked at her. She secretly observed the operating system and development process of the Human Federation, and evaluated the suitability of the Star-Ballist as a leader in her own way.

Facts have proved that the Star Slinger is more favored by her than the human Emperor who is full of lies and deceit.

At this moment, in the laboratory in the belly of the cabin of the Vision Desire, Flavia stared at the shaking door with a smile on her face. The wall beside her had opened, and dense arrays of phase disruption cannons were dispatched from other areas by the shipborne AI. Before the Dark Eldar assault team could break into the door, the weapon array fired a volley, and the disruption beams decomposed the laboratory door and the Dark Eldar outside the door into a group of disintegrated elementary particles.

The weapon system of the Vision Desire was operating at full capacity, the purification protocol continued to be in effect, and the endless dense artillery fire and dense energy beams cut through the inner hull of the Titan battleship with the precision of a scalpel, removing and annihilating the large number of Eldar stalkers that had invaded its body along with the areas where they were hiding.

Outside the cabin, the sky above the orbit of Hajiya was already a sea of ​​fire. Gauss Cannons and Guardian point defenses continuously fired saturated firepower wave after wave like the sea, bombarding the Wraithbone warships surrounding their own hulls. Vision Desire, who had obtained the purification authorization, used the command of the flagship to bypass the internal crew of the Burning Heaven Divine Soldiers and forcibly activated the destructive weapon called the "God-killing Spear".

The Burning Sky Divine Soldiers spread out in the starry sky, and the huge metal cube flew towards the star in the center of the Hajia galaxy.

"What did you do?!" Flavia was shocked and quickly asked Vision Desire, who was having a fierce exchange of fire with the Eldar fleet.

Her status within the Order of Truth is not high, and she does not have the authority to know about destructive weapons of the level of the Burning Sky Divine Weapon, but at the moment when the huge cubic facility flew towards the central star of the Hagia galaxy, The psychic intuition of the Eternal made Flavia feel great fear.

Some kind of irreversible extinction event is about to happen.

[The Eldar have realized their failure. The subspace sensors have detected that a large number of Eldar warships hidden under the 'Void Veil' are trying to escape from the system. I judge that our ship must launch a strike within 9 hours with a range of at least Attack indiscriminately in a wide range of more than 3 cubic light years, otherwise the main fleet of the Dark Eldar will escape into the broken webway and cannot continue to be tracked. 】

[In summary, the best solution is to activate the Burning Heaven Divine Weapon, use the Star Exploder to detonate the star, and let the gamma-ray burst during the supernova explosion completely destroy the galaxy.]

Flavia's face changed drastically: "Have you been infected with the virus code? Artificial intelligence, a large number of members of the scientific expedition team of the Order of Truth are still staying underground on Hajiya? The Indomitable Expedition Fleet of the Human Empire is also still parked in the orbit of Hajiya. Do you want to kill them too?!"

[Correction, there are no Truth Cultivators on Hagia, and all vital signs of the scientific expedition team members have disappeared. Our ship will continue to contain the main fleet of the Dark Eldar and jump away after 7-8 hours. The Burning Sky Divine Soldiers This activation will not affect friendly units. 】

Apparently, the Horizon Desire does not consider the ships of the Imperium of Man to be friendly units.

Listening to the emotionless and indifferent voice of Vision Desire, Flavia knew that the battleship's onboard AI had completely gone out of control and would avenge its dead master at all costs.

The Burning Sky Divine Soldier had now reached the star orbit in the center of the galaxy. The ordinary cube slowly unfolded under the burning flames, and the star blaster began to charge.

Normally, 9 hours is not enough time for the Burning Heavenly Soldiers to destroy a star, but unfortunately, the technical field that the monks of the Order of Truth are best at is time technology.

Horizon Desire activated the Omega Synchronization Device, shortening the launch time of the Burning Heavenly Arms to less than 9 hours.

After previous self-purification, the hull of this Titan flagship has long been scarred, but unlike organic creatures of flesh and blood, artificial intelligence does not know what pain is. The huge hull of the Horizon Desire is in the void shield and the dark matter deflector shield. Under the protection of the spirit race, he rushed into the fire coverage of the spirit bone battleship group. The subspace cracks were torn open by the spiritual weapons of the Eldar, leaving hideous wounds on the zero-element armor.

As a beam of infernal rays sank and destroyed the Dark Eldar's 'Dragon' class wraithbone battleship, the Eldar elder who organized the massacre knew that it was time to retreat. His foresight had foreseen that in just a few hours, this galaxy would be completely destroyed by some unstoppable force, and the believers of the God must evacuate immediately.

The Wraithbone warships protected by the Void Veil had a much faster maneuvering speed than the Titan ships of the human race. They covered each other and fled to the outer galaxy, where a hidden entrance to the webway was. But the insane AI chased after the Wraithbone battle group like a mad dog, not caring that its hull had been torn to pieces by the warp cracks.

Although the distance between it and the Eldar warship was constantly being widened due to the speed difference, the Dark Eldar on the way to escape despairedly discovered that even though the distance between themselves and the Horizon Desire had been nearly 1 light-year, But it still couldn't escape the strike range of its battleship's main gun.

The calculations of artificial intelligence are extremely accurate. Even across the distant starry sky measured in light years, each emission of the Purgatory Ray can hit and penetrate at least two Wraithbone Battleships.

"What the hell kind of range is this?!" The Haemonculi elder was angry, but not at humans, but at his superior, the city lord of Commorragh.

When it set out from Comoros with its fleet, the city lord clearly told it that the target of this operation was just a human scientific research vessel.

Chapter 395 As long as we can get to that place

The Haemonchi elder turned around and saw that the human flagship that was chasing after them had been damaged in many places. One of the three core reactors of the Horizon Desire had been destroyed by the polarized dark matter light emitted by the Wraithbone warships, and its power was greatly reduced. Even so, this battered human warship continued to chase the Dark Eldar warships that were trying to escape the detonation range of the star, like a dog driving a flock of sheep.

It is really incredible that a battered human warship is staggeringly driving away a well-equipped and large-scale Eldar fleet.

The contrast in strength between the enemy and us is too huge. No matter how powerful the Titan flagship is, the larger Eldar fleet can rely on its advantages in numbers and mobility to try to kill the severely damaged Vision Desire.
