Warhammer: I don't want to become a stinky can!

Unable to obtain more information from the electronic brain, Hades then tried to focus his attention on his left eye.

As expected, this left eye has X-ray vision.

As for night vision? The modified Space Marines can see everything clearly in the dark with their naked eyes.

Furthermore, the images seen by the left eye can be directly stored in the electronic left brain and retrieved when needed.

Unfortunately, Hades tried it, and the left eye couldn't shoot out a laser in a cool way.

Perhaps in the future he could modify his left eye and left brain?

Hades thought of it.

Time flies as Hades explores his electronic brain and electronic eyes.

Because Hades had only just begun to consciously control the electronic brain, the time it took increased without him realizing it.

It was already past 1 a.m., and even for Space Marines, it was time to sleep.

Hades got up from his workbench and went to bed to rest.

Although I don't know the answer about my constitution yet, that's not the most important thing right now.

"Thump, thump, thump"

The doorbell rang, interrupting Hades' thoughts.

A servant slowly pushed the door open and entered.

"Greetings, Lord Hades. Please change into your i3 combat suit immediately and proceed to reception room 508 on the 36th floor of Beta."

The i3 combat suit was not designed specifically for combat; rather, it was more like a ceremonial outfit designed for Space Marines not wearing power armor.

A Space Marine would wear this garment when he/she is unable to wear armor for some reason (or is a recruit who has not yet been armored) but needs to attend some formal occasions.

Someone wants to see me?

Hades quickly changed his clothes and followed his servant out of the room, walking down the empty corridor. It was 1:36 AM standard Terra time, already past the Space Marines' sleeping time, and the corridor lights were dimmer than before.

Upon arrival at their destination, the servant bowed and opened the door for Hades.

Hades walked through the door.

In an instant, an unusual feeling overwhelmed Hades' senses!

The room was empty and devoid of furniture, with nothing else besides some flags hanging on the walls.

But at this moment, two teams of Silent Sisters and two Imperial Guards stood in the room!

Mortarian stood with his arms crossed, opposite the Imperial Guard and the Sisters of Silence, with Company Commander Balazin standing ramrod straight beside him.

The unusual aura that Hades had just sensed came from Sister Silent.

Just like water and oil, both are liquids, but they are fundamentally different and do not mix. At this moment, Hades felt that his Dark Domain was not of the same origin as the Silent Sister's.

Even if they feel very similar, their underlying essence is not the same.

Hades's entry broke the extremely cold and tense atmosphere that had just been present in the room.

Previously, the arriving guards and the Silent Sisters had only offered a simple bow to Mortalian.

Mortalian, however, completely ignored the salutes from the Imperial Guard and Sister Silent, and simply nodded.

Balasin, who had come with him, was now in a dilemma, unsure whether to bow or not.

Knowing he would still have to work under Mortarian in the future, Balasin steeled himself and stood directly next to Mortarian, trying to convey his apology and respect to the Imperial Guard with a ramrod straight military posture.

Balasin was not one of those stubborn veterans. As a company commander, he had already learned to be tactful when leading the legion and dealing with all sorts of people.

It was only a matter of time before the Legion reclaimed the Primarch, and he had been preparing for it all along.

I wonder how that new recruit will cope with this situation.

Barasin thought of it.

However, at this moment, Hades was completely captivated by the Sister of Silence's abilities. Compared to the Sister of Silence's eerie aura, Hades didn't care about the awkward atmosphere in the room at all.

When the royal guards in golden armor saw Hades enter, they didn't press the matter further, since they had already prepared for Mortarion's disrespect when they came.

The guards nodded slightly to Hades and stepped aside. The Silent Sisters behind him parted to form a line, and finally, two Silent Sisters stepped forward, holding a large scythe with their hands outstretched.

The giant scythe was as black as night, with a curved shaft that seemed to have grown naturally. The blade was extremely sharp, gleaming slightly under the light. Fine, sharp teeth slicing out from the blade like chainsaws were incredibly sharp, making one feel as if they would be cut by it at a glance.

Some silver patterns cling to the junction of the sickle blade and the sickle shaft, as if they were products of a special process. The patterns resemble the lines of lightning, but at first glance, they seem to outline countless mountains and rivers.

This is a heavy-duty chainsaw sickle, but it is not a conventional sickle. The tip of the sickle is not a flat, blunt point, but an extremely sharp bayonet-like point.

The blunt tip of a typical scythe, such as Mortarion's "Annihilation," is designed to be pressed firmly into the opponent's flesh, allowing for full-speed chainsaw cutting through the body with a roar!

The dagger-like blade in the Silent Sister's hand seemed designed to pierce the enemy's body directly, tearing a bloody path like lightning.

"Death Guardian Hades".

The Imperial Guards spoke up.

"Because of your outstanding achievements in the liberation of Barbarossa, I hereby bestow upon you a sickle by order of the Emperor."

The Silent Sister looked at Hades, gesturing for him to pick up the giant scythe.

Hades raised his hand and picked up the scythe—

In an instant, the dark domain within Hades' body surged into the black scythe like a rushing river. As if sensing the dark domain, the silver patterns on the scythe began to shimmer with a faint light.

Seeing the sickle's reaction, the Imperial Guards made no further response, their words remaining calm and unremarkable.

"This sickle was originally kept by the Silent Sisters, but for various reasons, it has never found a good owner."

"Today I bestow this upon you, hoping you will not fail my lord. Hold this sickle and fight bravely for the empire, expanding its territory."

Hades gripped the giant scythe tightly; the enormous scythe seemed somewhat imposing even for Hades' current stature.

Seemingly, the matter was settled and they were unwilling to linger. The Imperial Guards stood at attention once more, their power halberds pointing skyward, and the Sisters of Silence lined up again.

"For the Emperor!"

At this moment, even Mortarian lowered his arms and muttered something under his breath.

"For the Emperor."

Hades, holding his giant scythe, remained standing in place as if in a daze, while the Imperial Guard and the Silent Sisters had already left.

"Keep it."

Seeing that Hades was still in a daze, Mortarian broke the silence.

Perhaps the Emperor just liked giving weapons to others. Mortarian looked at the "Nether Lamp" at his waist, a pistol made with alien technology. The Emperor asked him what gift he wanted, and Mortarian chose it.

However, Hades seemed to still be staring at the scythe as if he had lost his soul.

"He's probably too excited," Mortarian thought.

Hades stared at the scythe, a strange sense of familiarity instantly creeping into his heart.

"Obituary".

It suddenly occurred to him.

Happy reading! (σ′▽‵)′▽‵)σ

Chapter 45 Undercurrents

Endurance, Space Marine's personal room.

just now.

.

Inside the dark room, a faint red light flickered, and on the clock by the door, the time jumped to "3:48".

Hades lay in bed, but couldn't fall asleep; the scene from just moments ago kept replaying in his mind.

The giant scythe brought by the Imperial Guard and the Silent Sisters

Hades was certain that the scythe was definitely related to the "Untouchables".

His own dark domain flowed into that giant scythe so easily.

Is this a weapon specifically designed for untouchables?

The scythe was huge and heavy, and even Hades, who was considered a big guy among the Space Marines, had some difficulty using it to chop.

Not to mention the Silent Sisters, although they are all formidable warriors, this giant scythe is clearly not something a normal person could wield.

Hades was also somewhat puzzled by his encounter with the Silent Sisters, as his Dark Domain did not seem to be the kind of "Silent Field" they created.

But if Hades isn't untouchable, how do you explain his constitution?

However, the Emperor has already bestowed upon Hades a scythe that is clearly designed specifically for his constitution, which shows that he understands Hades's physical condition.

Therefore, I estimate that I am an untouchable mutant!

That's right! That's it!

Hades, unable to come up with a reasonable explanation, is in the midst of a complete act of self-abandonment—

If you can't figure something out, don't think about it anymore.

The giant scythe bestowed upon Hades also served as a form of reassurance, letting him know that he was not in danger and that Chaos had not done anything to him.

He can use his own dark domain without worrying about a chaotic conspiracy.

As for the scythe, Hades thought that although his Dark Domain could not currently break through his body surface, he could use this scythe to extend his Dark Domain and also suppress psionicists or the warp.

In fact, when Hades first realized that his Dark Domain could not break through the surface of his body, a bizarre scene popped into his mind: expanding the Dark Domain to the surface of his body, then engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the opposing psionicist to suppress their psionic energy.

It's so weird.

Hades felt goosebumps rise on his skin.

It was four o'clock. The lights in the room came on naturally. Hades put aside his thoughts, got up, put on his everyday combat uniform, and prepared to start his first day of training.

Although I hadn't slept all night, my modified body wasn't tired at all; on the contrary, I was full of energy.

Hades went outside and a person wearing MK2 power armor was standing at his door.

The white and green power armor, with ceramic stripes added later, interwoven across the surface, has been integrated into the armor but occasionally shimmers with a different luster than the overall armor as the wearer moves.

The veteran standing in front of Hades was noticeably taller than the other people passing by them in the corridor, but still slightly shorter than Hades.

"Follow me, I'll take you to receive your armor."

The veteran's deep, muffled voice came from inside the helmet. Hades was taken aback, realizing that the helmet's built-in translator had converted the other person's language into Barbalus.

After saying that, the veteran led Hades to follow the flow of people.

Sigh. You still haven't told me your name?

Hades followed closely in the veteran's footsteps. He looked around and found that the entire floor he was on was filled with people wearing power armor similar to the veteran.

In other words, Hades is the only new recruit on this floor?!

what is the problem?

Hades thought silently.

Endurance, Space Marine armor room.

just now.

.

The once brightly lit armor room was now as dark as night, with only the faint light of candles lit by the servants illuminating the dim room.

The servants bustled about the room, surrounding a low, round platform in the center with candles.

In a little while, the new recruit will come over to be given his armor.

In the darkest corner of the room, Garo, the company commander of the 7th Company, stood motionless, clad in power armor.

Hopefully, the recruits he selected won't disappoint him.

The Twilight Raiders, who initially had not yet found their Primarch, would have their forces deliberately reduced in the mid-to-late stages of the Great Crusade until the Primarch's return.

When Mortarion took over the Twilight Raiders, the Twilight Raiders numbered over 7.

The transformation of Barbalus recruits was also in full swing, and with the help of the gene seeds accumulated earlier, a total of 3 Barbalus recruits were successfully transformed.
