Travel to Warhammer 40K with Grey Wind

"Before you arrived, I organized several teams to conduct some cautious preliminary exploration of the outer part of the pyramid group. By the way, I also recovered several bodies of Space Marines - warriors of the Flame of Repentance, and some unknown Astartes whose genetic coding information was so ancient that even the data records have become blurred."

Lystia said as she sent a brief survey report to all 21 research vessels:

"As you can see, most of the infrastructure inside the pyramid is intact. The few damaged equipment are caused by the battle that took place here not long ago. The warriors of the Fire of Repentance are fighting with some enemies. I boldly speculate that the targets of their firefight may be those mysterious Astartes who possess ancient genetic codes."

"Also, among the several small buildings on the periphery that we explored, some were suspected to be arsenals, while others were hangars for parking ships. During the exploration, the team encountered some bionic automatic machines that resembled snakes and spiders. They should be part of the automatic maintenance and defense systems of these buildings. In order to avoid causing a larger-scale chain reaction, we did not explore further."

"But it is worth mentioning that although the automatic maintenance machinery is still there, the armory, dock, and hangar are all empty. There are no weapons or spacecraft left. Based on the recent operation traces of the infrastructure, we infer..."

"This complex of buildings is not a relic. Their owner is still alive and left a few years ago, taking away all the weapons and spacecraft. Only a few ships were left to guard the base - those are the two sickle-shaped battleships that attacked us before."

Although she did not find any traces of living intelligent creatures in the wreckage after destroying the Death Scythe battleship, she did find a considerable number of mechanical skeleton wreckage.

"Those mechanical skeletons are the owners of this pyramid group." At the suggestion of the scientific research director, Alphonse sent this message to the Ark of Bliss and the Oracle of Truth.

"Ah? That group of bloodthirsty and sick robots? Aren't they war machines made by the owner of the pyramid?" Lysitia's voice sounded very surprised.

Because he was in a hurry to do other things, Russell only briefly introduced some basic information about the Necrons to the Truth Brothers on Faya, and had no communication with the Ark of Bliss.

The monks on Faya were busy gathering people to count supplies and equipment for warp speed travel, and had not contacted the Ark of Bliss to exchange information. They thought that the far-sighted leader had already told Lysitia and the others about it.

It was not until now that Lysitia truly knew whose grave she was digging.

While exchanging information internally, the scientific expedition fleet quickly headed for the carbonized crystalline planet that was under close surveillance by the Inquisition.

While the Adeptus Mechanicus' fleet was still in the warp and had not yet arrived, they planned to launch a comprehensive investigation as soon as possible.

Soon, after passing identity verification and showing the inquisitors the authorization document signed by the Falla Senate, the mighty scientific expedition fleet hovered above the pyramids.

The weapon system of the Swordfish frigate is always in a state of combat readiness, and the Sailfish research vessel also maintains full power of both tachyon and psychic sensors. The hatches of the ships are opened one after another, and the first wave of landing troops are airdropped onto the surface of the ruins.

These scouts who risked their lives were all fully armed Eldar banshees. They needed to complete basic surveys on the ground and place transmission beacons at appropriate locations so that subsequent personnel could quickly teleport between the warships and the ground.

That's what the missionaries brought them here for.

These female Eldar who had their ovaries and uteruses removed by Koroni and who had been brainwashed and trained, were divided into different types of troops by the Order of Truth, such as:

"Greed" equipped with weapons of mass destruction and responsible for fire suppression;

Equipped with extreme power hot melt weapons and armor-piercing weapons, "Rage" conducts meltdown operations against high-defense targets;

And the "irony" of being equipped with a variety of cold weapons such as spears, specializing in close combat and stealth assassination.

The perfect physical quality and excellent psychic potential of the Eldar were developed to the extreme by them to support themselves in carrying out this suicidal expedition mission.

It's unknown when the main Necron fleet, which left here not long ago, will come back, and by then the Banshees will have to board the living metal warships.

To humans, the lives of the elves have never been lives; they are just consumables.

Chapter 114: The Beginning of War

Under the supervision and assistance of the Inquisition, the expedition fleet of the Order of Truth officially launched an armed scientific expedition to the huge pyramid complex.

The Mechanical Society's grave-digging fleet was still in the subspace and on its way, and the Necrons' main fleet, which had left for unknown reasons, didn't know when it would return. Time waited for no one. They needed to get as much information as possible as soon as possible.

In order to complete this mission, the Order of Truth will stop at nothing.

The ironic banshees, acting as advance scouts, were scattered in all directions, followed closely by a large number of intelligent robot servants and mortal survey troops carrying antimatter bombs and the furious banshees carrying high-pressure hot melts, preparing to break through the pyramid that had not yet been opened.

The preacher who stayed behind on the battleship activated the teleportation beacon on the Cyberlux battle body that had been converted into an engineering machine, so that it could be teleported in at any time when the ground forces issued a request for reinforcement.

The head of scientific research, under the protection of Alphonse and a troop of elite banshees, went with Bernadette to investigate the interior of the super-large pyramid with a damaged spire located in the center of the complex.

In addition to deploying a large number of troops, they also mobilized a large number of high-end equipment that was still in the experimental stage.

While the armed scientific expedition in the Flare Galaxy was in full swing, Russell, who had hurriedly left Faya on the pretext of having other important matters to attend to, also passed through the L Star Gate and entered the Lost Dream Star Cluster accompanied by Coronie.

The Grey Wind mothership, with a hull as delicate and beautiful as a silver arc, plunged into the nebula. Under the guidance of Coroniai, Grey Wind quickly jumped to the designated coordinates and docked above the corpse of the Fordlan Ark World Ship.

What appeared before Russell was a scene of great contrast.

Half of the body of this world-class battleship, which is larger than the main planet of Nifol, still has a beautiful white bone structure, while the other half has been covered with a thick chitinous shell, and has grown thick and long tentacles and long curved horns. The huge mouthparts full of sharp teeth still contain a large amount of crushed ship wreckage.

Half elegant, half ferocious, the Zerg's assimilation process of the Fordlan world ship's organisms is extremely fast.

It was a commendable achievement, but Russell’s visit was not to inspect the progress of Coronai’s work, but because he had really urgent matters to deal with.

In the cabin of the Gray Gu mothership, Gray Wind summoned a slightly blurry, slowly rotating holographic three-dimensional star map in front of Russell and said, "The Lost Dream Nebula has become much thinner than before. This is related to the vortex galaxy in the dust cloud... This is a real-time star map of the Lost Dream Star Cluster."

Russell nodded without saying anything, but lowered his head to examine the star map in front of him.

There are three bright spots in the slowly rotating spiral star cluster, namely: the galaxy "Xihe" where the L-gate is located, the real-time coordinates of the Fordlan world ship, and a star system marked as "Tiberon".

"In order to transform Fordola into a hive world as quickly as possible, I released a large number of swarm tentacles in the Lost Dreams Cluster to collect biomass everywhere."

Koroni pressed herself close to Russell as if to take credit, her soft voice as smooth as the warm cream embellishing the cake: "But not long ago, one of the tentacles broke off after it extended into this galaxy called Tiberon..."

Russell and Grey Wind both looked very serious, they knew exactly what this meant.

Each tentacles of the swarm separated by Coroniai can easily devour the indigenous civilizations in the post-atomic or space age; they also have the space naval warfare capabilities to capture the stowaway ships of the human empire.

The fact that its tentacles were broken off at Tyberon meant that there was a fairly impressive space combat capability in that galaxy. At the very least, it was a civilization that had already passed the early stages of the space age and was able to build orbital habitation stations and planetary defense fortresses, and even star bases, in the orbits of various celestial bodies in the system.

"The singularity at the center of the vortex is still spewing out new galaxies, with no sign of slowing down." Gray Wind said, exhaling another holographic three-dimensional star map, but it was static.

It overlapped the static star map with the dynamic star map in front of Russell. A slender white finger gently pointed forward, and Russell looked in the direction pointed by Gray Wind. It was a galaxy with a bright green color.

The galaxy where the L-gate is located: Xihe.

When the old and new star maps are superimposed, the two green highlights do not overlap. The Higgs galaxy on the old star map is closer to the inside of the spiral arm, while on the current real-time star map, the Higgs galaxy is located further out.

"During the time we were away, the Lost Dreams Cluster expanded rapidly to the point where it almost completely occupied the space where the nebula was located, and the Xihe Galaxy also moved to the outer area of ​​the nebula."

Gray Wind said with some concern: "The Lost Dreams Cluster is still expanding into the space beyond the nebula, and this expansion is accelerating..."

Koroni also looked at Russell. Although the space-age civilization in the Tyberon system was soon devoured by other swarms of insects from nearby galaxies after breaking off a hive tentacle, this was far from the end.

The closer to the vortex, the higher the level of civilization of the native planet. At the end of the spiral arm, it is still the Stone Age where people eat raw meat and drink blood. Further in, it is an agricultural society where people work from sunrise to sunset. Now, it has even reached the level of being able to break the tentacles of the insect nest.

Is there a more powerful civilization in the micro universe in the singularity?

Is there any civilization that has inherited the mantle of "Warring Party C", the god-level civilization that can create a new universe?

Koroni didn't know the answer.

The only thing it can be sure of is that as more and more galaxies are pulled out of the singularity, the mass difference between the micro-universe and the main universe will become larger and larger. More and more advanced civilizations will come to this universe, and they will soon be able to make contact.

They are likely to face an interstellar war...

"Master, do you want to stop the bio-assimilation process of the Fordlan World Ship and use all the biomass to produce Zerg battleships? Or...?" Coronie asked softly, "As long as it is your will, I will carry it out to the letter."

Russell shook his head.

He was not afraid to go to war with a powerful civilization from the stars. Even without the help of the Empire, he was confident that he could win the war with only the Hive Fleet of Coronia. But the point of this matter was never about winning or losing, or even about the war itself.

But it is: that civilization came from the stars.

"The descendants of the warring party C have been hiding in the miniature galaxy for too long, and a large area of ​​social degradation has occurred." Russell said as he tried to touch Coronie's head, but found that she was standing taller than him, so he had to rub her ears. He then said, "Some of their branches may still have powerful science and technology inherited from their ancestral civilization, but they do not understand the existence of chaos in this universe - this in itself is the most terrifying thing."

It's not that there are no advanced psychic theories and related technologies for shielding the virtual world among the stars, but they require people to take the initiative to study and use them.

Would the embers of civilization that had been hiding in the miniature galaxy for tens of millions of years be as vigilant to the threat of Chaos as Russell was, and even tremble with fear when expanding the organization and recruiting people? No, they had no way of knowing the existence of Chaos.

I wonder how many people would wear bulletproof vests 24 hours a day if there were a gun pointed at them at all times.

"If those idyllic primitive tribes and the indigenous civilizations that have not yet flown out of their home planets are not enough to attract the attention of the gods, then when the interstellar civilizations that are almost certainly hidden in the deeper parts of the miniature galaxy are also siphoned into this universe..." Russell stroked Coronie's ear and said, "To Chaos, they are a group of defenseless children with treasures in their arms."

“I cannot predict what kind of waves a sudden interstellar war will cause in the galaxy, and how many forces will be disturbed by this war.”

"I don't care what direction this war will eventually take."

"What I am most concerned about is whether the various black technologies in the hands of the warring party C, which have almost reached the top of the Starry Technology Tree, will be obtained by other forces in the chaos."

Russell sighed softly, let go of the pointed ears that he had rubbed red, and used both hands to shrink the holographic star map in front of him so that there was enough space to display other star regions around the Lost Dream Nebula.

Looking at a corner of the galaxy with bright stars, Russell said slowly: "Without knowing the specific situation in the miniature galaxy, we can't formulate a quick battle plan to resolve the problem quickly."

"In an interstellar war, our strength is still insufficient. We are unable to take care of the battlefield across the star regions and do everything comprehensively."

There are bound to be flaws.

But Russell knew very well that this matter could not afford any mistakes.

What if a Necron Overlord who has the ability to do this quietly sneaks into the battlefield and obtains the "synthetic personality matrix" that can truly give the machine a soul...

If an Eldar prophet who wanted to summon the god of death came here in accordance with the prophecy and obtained the technology of sentinel array, psionic theory, or jump engine...

in case……

This was too terrifying and too uncontrollable, he would never be able to accept it.

——Then, let’s eliminate all the ifs at the source.

Noticing the change in Russell's expression, Gray Wind didn't say much. The back half of the small cabin where they were was quickly reorganized. The soft sofa and coffee table prepared for Russell, the bookshelf filled with various Eldar books and other daily necessities were swallowed up into the wall, freeing up a spacious open space.

A circular instrument with a diameter of about 3.14 meters was raised to the floor, and together with it was presented to Russell a completely transparent cube only the size of an adult's fist.

The time weapon, the Principle of the Circle. And a secondary core of Anti-Entropy that holds the authority to activate the Principle of the Circle.

"Master?" Coronie held her cheeks, which had turned red because of Russell's rubbing of her ears, and asked in confusion, "Are you trying to do what the Fordlan Eldar originally planned and directly reverse the time of the entire Lost Dreams Cluster to restore the damaged miniature galaxy to its original state?"

"I don't want to do that, but I can't find a safer way for the time being," Russell said.

He really couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if the technology tree of a civilization that could build urban planets and create miniature galaxies flowed into this universe without restraint. Therefore, it would not be excessive to be cautious in dealing with the Lost Dream Star Cluster.

The only problem is:

"Can the Principle of Rings really reverse time to such an extent on the scale of the Meteor Zone?" Russell asked.

"You may have some misunderstandings about this weapon, Mr. and Ms. Starbomb." Anti-Entropy's voice was still calm, without any emotion: "There are only two other aerospace carriers of the same specifications as the Midgard Dawn that I serve in, even in the Federation era. I am the only one equipped with a time-reversal weapon of the level of the Principle of the Ring."

"If you were to ask me if I had the ability to turn back time on a standard cube-shaped region of space that is 200 light years on a side to less than 100 Terran years ago, I would have one and only one answer."

After the words fell, Gray Wind, Russell, and the blushing Coroniel all stared at the small transparent cube under the Circle of Principle, waiting for its answer.

"Absolutely." Anti-Entropy replied.

"Easily." The starlight in its secondary core flickered slightly, as if to emphasize.

Russell was slightly startled by this familiar answer, then nodded in approval: "I see."

Loyalty to the Star Bullet has long been written into the very bottom of Anti-Entropy's original code, and it is impossible for it to lie to Russell's question. When Anti-Entropy said it was absolutely possible, it meant it literally.

"Coronia, recover the swarm." Russell said calmly.

"Yes, my master~" Coroniai's tone was cheerful and light, and she sounded in a very good mood.
