Travel to Warhammer 40K with Grey Wind

It's just that Gray Wind, who was so angry with Russell, couldn't listen to what he said at this time. While the humanoid structure sat on Russell's lap and let him rub his face, the body of the Gray Gu mothership directly started the transition that had already been warmed up. engine.

When the humming engine tears apart the real dimension of the universe, physical distance is no longer a constraint.

Russell noticed the engine starting, but he did not comment. He just gently hugged Gray Wind, who was sulking and ignoring everyone, and thought about how to comfort him in the future... Should he admit his mistake to it when he was not wrong?

If you only talk about feelings and don't talk about reason, then what's the difference between coaxing your girlfriend.

Russell felt that Grey Wind should not be an unreasonable person, even though it was not a human.

As the engine continued to hum, the angry expression on Huifeng's face was soon replaced by a look of astonishment.

"How could it be...the dimension cannot be torn apart..." Gray Wind turned his head in bewilderment, looking at Russell with tearful eyes: "The engine is clearly functioning normally, but why, why is it that every time the dimension shows signs of being torn, it will be restored immediately, Marshal, I, we..."

We can't leave...

Russell patted Gray Wind's shoulder with relief and said, "Just like I said before, recycle the miniature galaxy."

"Okay..." Gray Wind did not refute this time.

In the dark deep sky, endless interstellar dust gathered rapidly. The Gray Gu mothership sailed to the coordinates of the cylindrical sealed box before it was completely bound by the "cocoon", and then sent out a carrier-based aircraft to bring it back to the hangar.

Relic: Miniature Galaxy. Recovered.

Grey Wind really wanted to ask Russell what exactly happened here, but there was not enough time as the sensor's detection range was completely blocked by dense dust.

At the moment the "cocoon" was formed - something strange happened.

For a moment, Gray Wind felt that the entire world around him disappeared, even his own body no longer existed.

It was a feeling that was hard to describe. It was so fleeting that Gray Wind had no way of determining what had just happened. However, one person did react to it: Coroniai, who had been standing next to Russell.

With a thud, the plump female body that was over two meters tall fell forward without any warning, and fell face down in front of Russell and Huifeng, twitching like a short-circuited machine.

"This... what's going on? Why did Coroni suddenly..." Huifeng felt even more confused.

It subconsciously locked all the sensors in the cabin on Russell, fearing that he would suddenly fall down like Coronie. Fortunately, Russell was fine.

Then, two robotic arms reconstructed on the spot picked up the collapsed Coronie and performed a simple test on its trembling body. Gray Wind reported the results:

"The body's vital signs are very stable, even more active than before, and pheromones are secreted in large quantities. But its brain's bioelectric activity is very... disordered, and there is absolutely nothing that can be called 'consciousness'."

Why did this happen to Coroniai?

"We have seen this state before." Russell stood up and looked at the slightly trembling humanoid body lying on the mechanical arm, and said:

"Do you remember, Grey Wind? When the Zerg Fleet launched the final siege against the Eldar of Fordlan Ark, the Eldar used some special soul-killing weapons. They accidentally blocked part of the psychic mental field between the Zerg swarms, and the few Zerg individuals that were isolated from the collective will are in this state now..."

The only difference is that the out-of-control combat Zerg will fall into an unconscious state of frenzy, hacking indiscriminately without distinguishing friend or foe.

The body that Coroniai created to please its master was not dangerous, and it just collapsed on the ground after being disconnected from the will of the hive.

Grey Wind tried to turn on the detection equipment and search for the location of the Fódlan Hive World in the darkness - Coronia's real body was hiding there.

But the disconnection proved to be short-lived.

The convulsions and tremors of the humanoid body collapsed in the palm of the mechanical arm suddenly stopped, and as consciousness recovered, the bioelectric activity in the brain also became orderly again.

"Are you back? Coronie, what happened just now? You--" Before Russell could finish his question, Coronie, who had just woken up, threw him to the ground.

The speed at which the Eldar husk exploded was too fast for Russell to react for a moment, but Grey Wind did.

At the same time as Coroniel pounced on Russell, Grey Wind also attacked him immediately. He stabbed both hands into Coroniel's body, one hand broke his ribs and crushed his heart, and the other hand inserted into the cranial cavity from the back of his head and broke his brain stem.

In a flash, the body was dead. The efficiency was so high that even Huifeng was a little surprised.

Because with the reaction speed of the Eldar body, Coroniai could have dodge these two attacks, but it didn't.

It fell on Russell in tears and allowed Gray Wind to kill it. In its dying moments with its heart crushed and brain stem broken, Coronie choked and said, "Master, where have you been? I have been looking for you... I..."

"Me? I've been here all the time." Russell was also a little confused, but soon he understood.

Pushing aside Coronie's body, Russell took off his coat stained with blood and brain matter and said, "I roughly know what happened just now... Gray Wind, adjust the clock."

clock?

"Okay, synchronizing with the anti-entropy host, the current time is."

It is now September 39, 966th year of the 09th Millennium.

"It has been 3.14 years since we recovered the miniature galaxy."

At this moment, Grey Wind finally understood what Russell had said before, that once you are favored by "Him", you can no longer leave on your own.

"Received a psychic communication signal. The Fordlan Hive World Ship is approaching us. Its bio-assimilation progress has increased compared to before, and the increase is consistent with the passage of three years."

"The mothership's conventional propulsion engines are incapable of sublight speed travel. We are in a huge gravity well. There is a giant celestial body nearby, but conventional sensors cannot detect it... It's a black hole."

Throwing the bloodstained coat on Coronie's body, Russell walked to the center of the cabin. The holographic projection star map of the Whirlpool Nebula changed rapidly, and a new celestial model was constructed based on the detection results just now:

——A black hole with huge mass.

"The Lost Dream Nebula has disappeared. There is no detectable form of matter within the thousands of light years around it. The black hole has swallowed everything except us." Gray Wind breathed a sigh of relief.

While feeling lucky that this incident was safe, it finally had time to ask, "Marshal, what on earth happened here?"

"Why did the Lost Dream Nebula skip the life cycle of stars and collapse directly into a black hole? Why did we jump from three years ago to now?"

"I don't know either." Russell shrugged. "The only thing I can be sure of is that the existence that caused all this is called the 'Timeworm', or the Time Worm."

"The time-stealing insect..." Gray Wind nodded thoughtfully.

Since it was within the event horizon of a black hole and could not escape via sublight speed travel, the Gray Goo mothership attempted a second jump.

This time it went smoothly. Although the engine's operation was very difficult due to the gravity of the black hole, Grey Wind still tried his best to tear open the solid dimensional barrier and jumped to the coordinates agreed upon with Coroniai.

There the hive world awaits its master.

For some unknown reason, when Russell and Grey Wind were passively performing a time jump, Coronia was not involved, and the body left in the Grey Gu mothership was also disconnected from the main body. From its perspective, the master and Grey Wind disappeared for three years for no reason.

Maybe it will know what happened in the past three years?

In order to maximize the efficiency of information exchange, after reuniting with the Hive World Ship, Russell directly began to communicate with Coroniai through souls and read its memories of the past three years.

From the perspective of the Hive World Ship where the Coroniai main body was located, the Gray Goo mothership disappeared out of thin air after it recovered the repaired miniature galaxy, and its connection with the humanoid body accompanying Russell was also severed.

The result was consistent with Gray Wind's calculation. After the Gray Gu mothership disappeared, the Lost Dream Nebula quickly gathered into a cocoon under the traction of the gravitational singularity, and the mass of thousands of stars skipped the reaction stage and collapsed directly into a black hole.

It was as if an invisible worm had eaten a hole in the boundless starlight on the Far Eastern frontier.

The Hive World Ship that activated its warp drive escaped the great collapse and successfully survived outside the black hole's event horizon.

For three years, Coronia has been wandering in the deep space looking for Russell's trace. With the help of the subspace essence that connects across time and space, it can sense that its master is here.

After a rough reading of Coronie's memory, Russell still had doubts in his mind:

Why did the Time Worm trigger a big collapse in the Lost Dream Nebula to create a black hole, and why did it throw us three years into the future?

Although the Human Federation has never seen the Time Worm, as a high-dimensional overlooker, Russell once communicated with the Time Worm from the perspective of the United Nations on Earth.

As far as he knew, the actions and will of the Time Worm seemed strange and unpredictable, but there was logic behind them.

At the end of the "Event Horizon Signal" event chain, the Time Worm destroyed the home star system of the "United Nations of Earth" controlled by Russell.

The Time Worm extinguished the sun, turning it into a black hole, and the planets in the solar system became dead planets.

But destruction is accompanied by rebirth. While the Time Worm extinguished the solar system, it also modified the biological gene sequence of human civilization, allowing humans to adapt to this dead environment.

Because from the perspective of the Time Worm, time has no meaning, stars will go out, the universe will die of heat, and human civilization will become extinct, all of which will happen in the next moment.

The Time Worm has an incomprehensible love for human civilization. It extinguished the stars in the solar system prematurely and modified the most basic genetic sequence of humans, allowing its beloved children to adapt to the heat death of the universe, avoid the danger of extinction, and continue forever.

This is the extreme love of the Time Worm.

"If every move of the Time-Diving Insect is because he loves me deeply, then is this time jump also to help me avoid some fatal danger that I will encounter in the future?"

Chapter 118 Terra Expedition

Russell really wanted to know the answer to this question, but he also knew that some questions were destined to have no answers.

Especially when it comes to things like the Worm of Time.

After reading Coronie's memory, the first thing Russell had to do was to return to Faya to find out what had happened in the past three years.

For interstellar civilization, three years is a very delicate time unit.To put it long, it is not enough for the Rogue Trader to complete a complete business between two adjacent galaxies; to say it short, it is enough for a big battle that determines the fate of the star area to decide the winner.

Because the miniature galaxy had been recycled, the L-gate originally set up in the Xihe galaxy could no longer be found. Russell had no choice but to activate the jump engine of the Gray Goo mothership and head to the nearest galaxy with a stargate, "Aurora".

As for Coronia's hive world ship, it can only rely on the warp engine to glide relatively slowly.

Coroniae was extremely dissatisfied with this. Even if the main body could not keep up, it hoped to at least let the new sub-individual accompany its master, but the nervous Grey Wind refused to let it board the ship.

Russell could understand Gray Wind's hostility towards Coronie, although it was not very rational. On the way to the Aurora Galaxy, Russell explained to Gray Wind what the concept of "Time Worm" was:

"Based on the in-depth study of 'entropy recursion' and Omega theory, it is easy to draw such a conclusion: time is infinitely cyclical and space is infinitely extended. Time is like a circle that keeps on repeating and running forever."

Grey Wind sat obediently beside Russell and listened to his words. When he heard the "infinite cycle of time" explained by the Omega Theory, he turned around unconsciously and cast his gaze on a ring-shaped instrument set up behind the two of them - the Principle of Rings.

Did humans in the technological dark age create artifacts like the Principle of Circles because they understood the secrets of the cycle of time?

"In the circular temple that worships the Time Snake, there is a saying: The cycle of time will never end, but not every reincarnation will be complete."

Russell thought for a moment and continued, "To explain it in a way that you, Gray Wind, can understand more easily, we can describe time itself as a program that is constantly running. Each time this program runs, it is not absolutely perfect and there will be some small bugs. Each rotation of the time ring will also bring about some variables and some contradictory conclusions."

"The time loop is infinite. In each loop, there are mutually exclusive time paradoxes. This is a bug in time itself."

"When infinite paradoxes are entangled in an infinite cycle, an indescribable consciousness gradually awakens in the depths of darkness. It is a monster hidden in time, an infinite paradox that is entangled with each other, and a concrete manifestation of the cycle of time. This is the worm of time. In other words, the worm of time."

"In a sense, we can think of the Time Worm as the will of the birth of time itself."

Russell finished speaking and smiled at the thoughtful Gray Wind: "Being favored by time itself is not something you can get rid of just because you want to."

Those who are deeply loved by the Time Worm can only passively accept the licking of this love, no matter whether they resist or not.

"But why would the Worm love us?" asked Grey Wind.

"I want to know too..." Russell smiled helplessly. He didn't even know why the Time Worm had thrown him from three years ago to now. Is this also love?

After the last jump, the Gray Goo mothership brought Russell to the Aurora galaxy in the heart of Espionage.

Aurora is home to a large fleet of the Imperial Navy. This strategic location connecting multiple rich star systems was once captured by the Eldar of Fordlan Ark, and even the sacred star gate was seized by those cunning aliens. The loss of the Aurora system directly led to the destruction of the main gate of Faya, and also caused the resignation of the previous planetary governor.

The current Lord of Aurora learned from his mistakes, spent a huge amount of money to build connections, and transferred an entire Imperial Navy Crusade Fleet strongly supported by the State Religion to garrison here, to protect the Star Gate and the safety of his own official position.

After entering the Aurora Galaxy, the Grey Wind's smooth and beautiful silver arc, which was very different from the hull structure of the Imperial ships, attracted some attention. However, after the identification code with the authority of the Star Launcher was verified, they did not encounter any interception, and they successfully used the L-Gate in Aurora.

After returning to Faya, Russell first communicated with the members of the Order of Truth who stayed behind in the research base: they were not panicked because their leader had been missing for three years. In fact, Russell only paid attention to them once every few years.
