Travel to Warhammer 40K with Grey Wind

Under the targeted offensive, the Niezhi that had just been resurrected from the Eye of Mystery was quickly defeated. The Second War Cluster, which was mainly composed of Soul-Eating Poison Bees and supplemented by Soul-Tending Bone Spiders, slaughtered the defensive forces in the front direction of the attack with amazing efficiency.

The attack was so swift that the Chaos creatures deployed in other directions of the circular defense line had no time to return to defend in a targeted manner before Coroniai pierced their first line of defense with deadly poison needles.

Immediately afterwards, the spearhead of the attack advanced to the second layer of the ring. It was a strange fleet composed of a large number of strangely shaped alien warships and a small number of large altar-like buildings suspended in space... perhaps it could not be called a fleet.

Russell stretched lazily, sat on the throne of flesh and blood, supported his chin with one hand, and looked at those strange alien creatures with a playful look.

"There are so many architectural structures that violate basic mechanics. It seems that many of these idiots summoned by Tzeentch are psychic races, and many... Oh? Isn't this a greenskin? Can this thing be fooled by the birdmen to beat me?" Russell actually laughed as he watched. It was really worthy of being Tzeentch's work.

While he was happy, he was also a little curious. Would the Thousand Sons, who had to fight with the aliens under the coercion of Tzeentch, be so ashamed that they would tear down their flags after enduring such a great humiliation?

Looking at the smile on Russell's face and feeling his cheerful mood swings, Koroni Ayton felt excited: "Great, the master is very satisfied with the success of the second offensive..."

After breaking through the chaotic evil creatures on the periphery, the second war cluster's swift spear attack forcefully penetrated into the second circle formed by a variety of aliens.

It is unknown what kind of promises these aliens who survived the frenzied slaughter of the Emperor's expeditionary army received from Tzeentch. They fought extremely bravely and showed no intention of retreating in the face of the suicidal charge of the Soul-Eating Venomous Bees.

Coronia could even see that after the Soul-Eating Venomous Bees decomposed themselves into small swarms of insects and invaded the cabin, many alien women and children did not flee, but instead chose to fight the brutal swarm executioners head-on with bayonets.

Don't they have guns?

In short, due to the complex composition of the aliens hiding behind the chaotic evil creatures, energy weapons of various principles, live torpedoes and point defenses, as well as psychic techniques that are very different from those of humans, the advancement of the Second War Cluster has been greatly slowed down. The complex battle situation makes it difficult for the Soul-Eating Poison Bees to achieve the same devastating results as they did against the sin debts.

At least in terms of viewing pleasure, the battle with the aliens is much more enjoyable than fighting against the Chaos evil creatures. Moreover, the opponents this time are flesh-and-blood alien creatures, so the Zerg finally don't have to fight on an empty stomach and can feast on a feast.

Russell watched with interest and advised: "When attacking the alien warships, don't destroy everything indiscriminately. Save some energy to collect their data cores and dismantle important facilities to take away. Many of these aliens are the last sparks of their own civilization. Their warships should have preserved the technological crystallization of their respective races, which can be used as a reference."

"Yes, master." Koroniai agreed happily.

After being together for such a long time, it has already had a good understanding of Russell's temperament. Its owner attaches great importance to the development of science and technology, and is always actively collecting various knowledge, regardless of whether it can be used or not.

In the past, Koroniai could not quite understand this laborious approach that would consume a lot of extra resources and not see immediate returns. But after mastering the Eldar bone shaping technology and using it to create a variety of low-cost, high-performance biological warships, it also understood what it meant: technology is the primary productive force.

The Warp space was filled with the Greenskins' passionate war cries and the miserable howls of countless aliens of various shapes and sizes being slaughtered by the Zerg. The ferocious Soul-Eating Bee swarms feasted on the bones and blood scattered in space, steadily advancing their offensive progress.

In addition to the various alien technological crystals collected and brought back by the swarm, there were several other things that attracted the attention of Russell and Coronie.

First, these aliens are clearly flesh and blood, and the various tactical plans they used to resist the Soul Devouring Bee Swarm also show that they are not puppets controlled by Chaos. Since they have clear minds, why didn't they flee when faced with a swarm of insects that they were completely unable to resist? Not even one individual took a step back, as if all of them were dead soldiers.

Secondly, ever since the evil creatures on the periphery were defeated by the spear attack of the Second War Cluster, the Thousand Sons wizards, who had previously cast spells and summoned subspace creatures for defense, suddenly stopped all actions. Because of the existence of the maze, even Russell could not see clearly what was happening inside the circular defense formation.

Finally, Russell discovered that the red monster he had vaguely observed through the maze had psychic power much stronger than all the Thousand Sons wizards surrounding him, and was much more powerful than the Nurgle demon "Bao" whom he had faced head-on.

"The red nature of the Warp, a psychic power higher than that of a great demon, Tzeentch's presence, the Thousand Sons Legion..." All these key words were linked together to form a rather interesting answer: "No way, this birdman actually dared to send out an Ascended Primarch in front of me?"

Isn't he afraid that Magnus will be killed by the Star-Bomber and never come back?

All sorts of strange and abnormal phenomena caught Russell's attention, making him concentrate on the fierce battle between the Zerg and the Holy Number Fleet. The Void Cave in the highest sky was silently confronting the Eye of Mystery.

In a very obvious place, but subconsciously ignored by everyone, something was happening quietly, but Russell, who had no extra energy, failed to notice it.

--Is it really?

No wonder the opening of the Eye of Mystery was so shocking that the evacuated Truth Adeptus Expeditionary Fleet and the remnants of the Mechanicus were all paying attention there. The appearance of the Primarch made Russell himself focus on the confrontation with the evil god Tzeentch.

On the edge of the battlefield, hidden under the turbulent subspace turbulence, the Necron pyramids that were theoretically completely destroyed by the vortex bombs still remained in the world.

Although the surrounding small pyramids were completely devoured and the largest central pyramid was also severely damaged, the real main body inside was still intact.

A humanoid monster covered with crooked blue-purple bird feathers, with a bloodshot eyeball growing at the base of each feather, crawled out from a hidden phase space and looked at the fierce naval battle at the Eye of Mystery from afar, as if looking for something.

After a few seconds, it lowered its head dejectedly, turned around and crawled into the remaining main structure of the central pyramid.

Whatever the outcome, it still has work to do.

However, the next moment after it turned around, the curvature of the space above the pyramid was distorted, like a string being forcibly bent.

A huge monster leaped over from a distant star field, and its beautiful silver arc-shaped hull quietly docked above the central pyramid.

"There is indeed something hidden wrong with the subspace structure here... No wonder the Marshal didn't let me join the battle."

Chapter 140 Soul Echo

So far, the only things blocking the Zerg's advance are some Chaos evil creatures native to the Warp, and the alien scum temporarily lured here by Tzeentch; the Thousand Sons wizards would cast some sorcery in the early stages, summoning some Warp creatures similar to space whales to help in the battle, but after the first circle of defense was breached, the Thousand Sons' actions also subsided.

Correspondingly, Coroniai did not see any Chaos Daemon during the advancement, not even a Tzeentch Daemon.

Normally, this situation can be explained by the lack of sacrificial rituals and the difficulty for demons to appear in the real universe. But now, if you look up, you will see such a huge Eye of Mystery standing on the Flare Galaxy. Even the Lord of Change himself would not believe that Tzeentch could not summon demon thugs under his nose.

Then there is only one explanation left.

The Tzeentchian demon army is elsewhere.

"It's not difficult for anyone with a little bit of carefulness to come to this conclusion, but the question is, the reason I have this idea is whether this matter itself is also part of Tzeentch's plan?" Russell had a headache.

The game between the two sides had just begun, and he was already disgusted by Tzeentch. If the opponent was a paraplegic sitting on a brass throne, it would be fine, just do it and it's over, without so many twists and turns.

Now, we can only hope that Grey Wind can find something.

While the Zerg was slaughtering and devouring various aliens, mainly greenskins, with great force and gradually approaching the Chaos fleet of the Thousand Sons Legion, the Grey Goo mothership used its psychic cloaking field, which was better than nothing, to carefully pass through the flying building debris and mechanical wreckage drifting in the vacuum, and docked at the original site of the Necron pyramid group.

The power of the three Annihilator-type vortex bombs was actually enough to completely wipe out the entire pyramid group from the real universe, but this destructive force was cleverly used by the Lord of Change in some way to blast open a subspace rift called the Eye of Mystery in the center of the flare.

Just the small amount of forward destructive power that Tzeentch had not had time to divert when the vortex bomb exploded destroyed all the surrounding small pyramids in an instant. The largest central pyramid was also seriously damaged, and the tower-shaped external structure was almost completely shattered, leaving only a heavy black stone base and the unprotected main structure inside, which looked like an organic creature with its skin and flesh peeled off.

It is very interesting that the exterior shape of the Necromancer's pyramid is a right tetrahedron with its pointed corners facing upwards and its flat surface facing downwards, but after the outer shell is blasted apart, the exposed internal structure is a miniature tetrahedron with its pointed corners facing downwards and its flat surface facing upwards, appearing in a heavy dark color.

The tetrahedral frame contains two crescent-shaped living metal structures with openings facing each other, like an ancient archway; the hard edges seem to be collapsing towards each other, and the lines that make up this object have no starting point or end point.

At a glance, the rich knowledge of construction told Huifeng that such an open framework was once filled with abundant energy.

"This is a magnificent energy-gathering device that can carry extremely high energy levels, but what is such a huge amount of energy gathered for? To power the pyramid itself? No, the Mechanicus has already discovered the four energy cores in the pyramid..." Grey Wind was quite puzzled. The inverted tetrahedron frame and the crescent arch inside were in a silent state with energy supply cut off. It still had no idea what this thing actually did.

Staying alert, Grey Wind stabilized the reality anchor of his own ship, then turned on the tachyon sensor and "soul echo receiver" on board the Grey Gu mothership to conduct a further scan of the ruins of the Undead Pyramid.

The Soul Echo Receiver is a special subspace sensor designed and manufactured by Grey Wind after he disassembled the information of the subspace communication equipment of the Dark Age of Technology stored in the Anti-Entropy Database and referred to the subspace communication technology of the Eldar. It is based on the principle of soul echo.

Using this special psychic sensor, Grey Wind can directly insert the virtual antenna into the subspace to receive information, which is then filtered by AI and presented to him.

The sea of ​​souls is filled with the endless emotional fluctuations and spiritual energy of countless intelligent creatures. In addition, there are also evil voices from entities in the subspace, such as demons. Monitoring information in the subspace is undoubtedly a high-risk job. If a psychic tries to listen, there is a great risk of losing control. There are many cases of being bewitched by evil beings and losing control, turning into demons and entering the door of the real universe.

The psychic echo receiver can act as a contact medium between the observer's mind and the complex information flow of the sea of ​​souls, greatly reducing the risk of observing the subspace through indirect contact.

This is one of the many techniques Grey Wind has at his disposal to prevent the Warp from corrupting itself.

Gray Wind, who lacked psychic talent, ignited a small amount of psychic dust to provide the necessary energy for the Soul Echo Receiver. The virtual antenna woven from pure soul threads slowly floated into the warp like light silk.

The first thing Grey Wind observed was the residual shock wave left by the explosion of the vortex bomb, which was still shaking the space-time structure of the subspace.

"What an outrageous weapon! The aftermath alone can create ripples of this magnitude in the Soul Sea." Gray Wind sighed in his heart: "I wonder what kind of destructive power those high-tech weapons recorded in the Anti-Entropy Database will have after they are re-produced?"

This thought lasted only 2 milliseconds before it was wiped from Huifeng's consciousness. Gathering information is a slow and meticulous process that requires concentration and patience.

The soul threads that penetrated into the subspace continuously transmitted the vast amount of complex information back to the soul echo receiver for the first and second rounds of duplicate checking and screening. The temporarily compiled low-intelligence AI sorted the various information into clear tables, which were finally summarized by Gray Wind.

Perhaps the process of scanning and collecting information should be inappropriately compared to the ultrasonic positioning of bats. Grey Wind further organized and mapped the vortex shock waves that kept reverberating in the subspace into spectrums of reaction waveforms. By looking for differences between the spectrums, it finally discovered the oddity.

"The subspace structure here is very strange... The echo of the shock wave did not present a perfect vortex shape according to my calculation model. Instead, there was a strange gap, as if the sound hit the sound-absorbing cotton during propagation and disappeared with a 'bang'."

Gray Wind used its tail sensor to take a look at the fierce battle in the center of the flare that was almost over. It had a feeling that it had grasped the real point:

"I have no idea what absorbed the shockwave of the vortex bomb in the subspace and eliminated the echo, but by comparing the frequency spectrum changes at different times, I may be able to calculate the coordinates of that thing!"

In this way, it should be able to surpass both Coronie and Anti-Entropy.

Chapter 141 Verifying Coordinates

The process of collecting information from the subspace requires extreme caution, but summarizing and integrating the existing information does not require such cumbersome procedures. With Gray Wind's computing power, the analysis and calculation of multiple waveform spectra quickly produced results.

"The sea of ​​souls is constantly changing, creating strange waves that never repeat themselves, but the 'sound-absorbing cotton' that absorbs the shock waves is relatively static, which greatly reduces the amount of calculations I need to locate it... Eh? Eh——?"

Gray Wind was shocked. The Gray Gu mothership turned all the sensors that could be easily mobilized to the same direction.

It was a dead planet located next to the pyramids. This description might not be accurate enough. It should be said that the pyramids were running in the orbit of this planet. Two-thirds of the planet's surface was covered with a thick layer of carbonized crystals, which was the mark of the destructive flare that annihilated the Zerg swarm.

"Why are those coordinates here?"

Huifeng once again verified his calculation results and confirmed that they were correct, so he had to save the coordinates that seemed unreliable:

The "thing" that absorbed the shock wave echoes in a specific direction like sound-absorbing cotton in the subspace is inside the core of this carbonized crystalline planet.

Grey Wind chose to share the results of the calculations with Coronia's bio-mental network as soon as possible, but its anxious wait did not receive an immediate response, because at this time, the attacking Zerg also encountered a strange thing.

The swarm of soul-eating poisonous bees destroyed the last space fortress of the alien race called "Sloth". After the second ring defense line collapsed, the Chaos fleet led by the Thousand Sons Legion and composed of multiple Tzeentch warbands appeared in front of Coronia.

Having learned from the previous experience of the First War Group being killed by Chaos Sorcery, and the fact that the Second War Group had suffered heavy losses after a long battle and had not yet recovered, Coroniai did not choose to rush in but to slow down the offensive, observing the enemy's movements while waiting for reinforcements from the Third War Group that was already on its way.

The strange thing is that even in this situation, the Chaos fleet that was being killed by the Zerg swarm did not organize an effective resistance.

"The psychic defense network of the Spirit-Driving Bone Spiders was severely damaged in the previous battle, and the Zerg biological assault group has also been slowing down. This is a perfect time to intercept. At this time, launching a long-range attack, whether it is plasma or light spears, or even the physical ammunition of the macro cannon, can have a high hit rate."

Russell propped his chin with his other hand and narrowed his eyes slightly. "Conventional weapons are so terrible, not to mention the large number of subspace wave cannons on the warships of the Thousand Sons Legion, which are blessed by the Eye of Mystery. They only need to focus their fire to cause considerable damage to you, without any risk to themselves."

Coroni nodded, it also felt very strange.

At this moment, the warships outside the ring only fired some low-cost energy weapons for symbolic interception, just to show that they were worthy of the salary given by Tzeentch. The Thousand Sons warships did not make any moves at all.

If it weren't for the fact that the Zerg's biological senses could clearly sense the ominous malice emanating from the large number of Chaos warships, Coroniai would have doubted whether he was fighting an imaginary fleet.

"Wait until the Third War Group is assembled and then start the assault."

Russell said calmly, "The other side has an Ascended Primarch in charge. The individual combat power of the wizards and Rubric Warriors of the Thousand Sons Legion is second to none among the Astartes. If we choose to fight head-on, the losses will be great. You have to be patient."

Koroni said without hesitation: "Now the offensive has approached the pupil of the Eye of Mystery, and the evil debts that were eliminated before are constantly resurrecting. I am ready for the annihilation of the whole army."

Russell looked up and smiled at it: "That's good."

As the second and third war clusters were completing their reunion, he looked up at the mysterious eye in the center of the galaxy. Faintly, Russell seemed to see a blue slime with bird feathers smiling mischievously.

The trap of the Chaos Fleet in the center of the ring, which did not resist and just gave up, was too obvious, to the point of insulting one's intelligence.

Russell had no way of judging what was waiting for him in the center of the circular defense formation... Maybe there was nothing there, and Tzeentch was playing tricks on him. He was capable of such a thing. But he had to be on guard against the strange phenomenon in front of him. Even Russell could not easily see through the warp barrier from the Lord of Change. Whether there were traps inside and what kind of traps they were were all unknown.

"Perhaps this place is really just a well-disguised bait, using the appearance of the Ascended Demon Primarch to attract my attention and conceal His true purpose..."

"Or maybe there is something really vital hidden in the Eumenides, and Tzeentch sent Magnus and the Thousand Sons here just to seize that thing. He deliberately put on an empty city plan to make me misjudge the importance of the Eumenides..."

"Or maybe, the opening of the Eye of Mystery itself is a tool to divert attention, and Tzeentch didn't hesitate to personally come out to create the show effect... This is indeed something he could do."

I can’t think about it anymore. The more I think about it, the more headache I get. I really want to slap Him twice…

For a person to try to guess Tzeentch's true intentions is itself a stupid act that would be laughed at by Ogryn.

After a headache, Russell gave up thinking. To deal with a professional swindler like Tzeentch, the most direct solution is to just hack at him without caring about anything and directly transform into Khorne.
