Hyperion, but in Warhammer 40K

The Astartes recruits in the 40th century were selected from the best of the best, but in fact, the selection was not so strict in the 30th century. Basically, many people were already adults and then underwent the Astartes surgery.

A high mortality rate doesn't matter; Zhou Ye's creative power can forcibly keep people alive. If it really doesn't fit, just dig up the seeds. Then I can split off two companies to continue exploring.

This war could be said to have made him a huge profit. Although the Plague's main fleet had simply fled after he killed Typhons and he hadn't been able to take them down, the Tau's warships were quite impressive.

After I get it, I can go to the mining planet to mine. I can also get another battle barge, and then split it into two companies. I can help myself continue to explore and lay star tracks.

As for himself, acting as a Rogue Trader, he didn't believe he could run into such a big mess again.

This time, Zhou Ye was extremely depressed. He had been so confused that he had lost all his planets. Following Zhou Ye's command, the two spaceships launched a warp and disappeared in an instant.

When he appeared again, he had arrived on a blue planet. At the same time, Zhou Ye called the planetary governor over.

"From now on, this will be your new planet. This is an uninhabited, habitable planet I saw during my cruise."

"My Lord, you are truly too kind."

Looking down from Zhou Ye's throne, the planetary governor also let out a series of exclamations. After losing his own planet, he was also very worried about what to do in the future. How to complete the mission entrusted to him by this sacred master? Now, he didn't expect to have a brand new planet so soon.

"Turn on the ship-wide broadcast and tell everyone about this. And have them all prepare to go down. I'm also conducting a small-scale conscription."

Zhou Ye planned to run this place as a half-nest and he planned to go to the nearby Hive Planet to get more people. He also had absolute means, so those messy people would not be able to come in.

By the way, I also planned to take a good rest here. My current thousand-person theater is filled with a lot of strange things. There are even quite a few Nurglings and Nurgle beasts running around. Finally, when I saw the planet was about to explode, I just grabbed a lot of them, anyway, their destructive power is limited.

He couldn't break through the inner defenses of his Thousand-Man Theater, but leaving it alone wasn't a good idea. Furthermore, there were a large number of Fallen Titans and the remains of Fallen Knights. He needed to deal with them, so Zhou Ye planned to rest here for a while.

After tidying up this place and getting it on the right track, I can continue with my original development plan.

After all, this time he was trapped because there were too few Star Tracks laid, and secondly, no one was using them. He couldn't announce it directly, so he planned to train a group of his own people to walk on the Star Tracks. They didn't need to explore, but rather use the Star Tracks to integrate as many resources as possible.

Of course, those people would become his followers, under his absolute control. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about leaks. As for the population... the empire's population was unlimited, so he could just go to the hives and recruit them.

Then...

"By the Emperor, what kind of planet is this?"

At this time, a group of survivors looked at the rich planet with shocked expressions on their faces. After the initial shock, they all knelt down in front of Zhou Ye.

This action also made Zhou Ye stunned, but his expression soon changed.

Because he sensed that something special was coming towards him, and that thing was... faith.

"Shit!!!"

For a moment, Zhou Ye couldn't help but curse, as he sensed that this energy would cause ripples in the subspace. Therefore, he immediately neutralized it with imaginary energy. However, judging by their reactions, even if he had killed them, they would probably think this was a moment of glory. His death, if only to please this god, would be enough.

In this case, Zhou Ye also acted quickly. He silently pinched a few meters tall golden figurine and placed it in front of the group of people.

"We are all the people of the Divine Emperor. Everything we have today comes from the Divine Emperor's grace, so let's praise the Divine Emperor!!!"

"Great God Emperor!!!"

After hearing Zhou Ye's words, a group of people immediately burst into tears. Then Zhou Ye clearly felt that the special power disappeared and rushed towards a certain golden giant.

"Yellow skin, you've been worshipped for ten thousand years anyway, so this little bit doesn't matter."

Zhou Ye nodded in satisfaction, then slowly said, "I will build a statue of the Divine Emperor over a hundred meters tall here to express our devotion to him!"

"Woooooooo..."

Seeing Zhou Ye, who was holding a life-size figurine in one hand and the Mantra in the other, looking like a charlatan, a group of people were moved. Many people were reciting the verses from the scripture aloud, crying bitterly.

Finally, with the matter settled, Zhou Ye began to gradually sort out the things in his theater. As for the Weepers and the Dark Angel, he sent them out to help these people build settlements and clean up the messy beasts on the planet. Of course, Zhou Ye also kept his promise.

Directly beside a cliff, he used his power to create a massive, golden statue over a hundred meters tall. Its appearance was inspired by the designs of the emperors from his past lives, and it looked incredibly lifelike.

The Word Bearers passing by expressed their approval, weeping bitterly under the statue of the God-Emperor and explaining the Emperor's greatness to the believers.

Chapter 61 Ultramarines: Excuse me, are you Fulgrim?

"Kougua, please, I'm begging you. I'll do anything as long as you let me believe in the Divine Emperor."

"Without a God-Emperor to trust, I'm going to die."

"Ounewa..."

"No, where are you from?"

Stunned, Zhou Ye stared at the three Word Bearers before him, completely unaware of how they'd gotten here. He'd just sculpted a statue of the Emperor and had people worship him, to avoid the hassle of worshipping him. He'd never imagined the next day he'd see three Word Bearers, covered in copies of the Emperor's Words and dressed like beggars, weeping bitterly before the Emperor's image.

Then he was captured by his own Space Marines and thrown in front of him.

Although he hadn't yet established a complete planetary defense system, the problem was that Ai-chan was also helping him scan the surroundings. He was sure that there were no Word Bearers ships coming here, not even a single ship.

You have to know that this is a typical place with no village in sight and no shop behind, and these people are really too miserable.

"My Lord, as long as I can bathe in the light of the Divine Emperor, you will allow us to do anything."

"Okay, first, let go of your defenses. I'm going to check your memories, and we'll handle the rest later."

Zhou Ye also walked over after looking at the three strange flowers in front of him. They didn't mix up, he could guarantee that. But the rest was unknown, so Zhou Ye had to confirm their origins.

Could these three weirdos be the thousand-year-old Dengs who sneaked away?

After saying that, Zhou Ye put his hand directly on his head, and then the authority of the Ruler of Consciousness was activated directly.

Soon, an extremely awkward expression appeared on his face. He waved his hand and told these weirdos to get out and stop hanging around in front of him.

First of all, they are indeed a can that is a bit old, and of course they have nothing to do with what happened ten thousand years ago.

They were originally a Successor Chapter of the Ultramarines, specifically because that Successor Chapter had suffered heavy losses. It's like the Mechanicum requested seed support, and a bunch of nerds didn't take it seriously and just randomly got a batch of gene-seed and gave it to them, most of whom were Ultramarines.

But there were some other things mixed in, including three Word Bearers gene seeds. Then they were given it, and at first no one knew it was the Word Bearers.

After all, their pharmacist was out, and the one who performed the surgery was a temporary biological priest who didn't care at all, and it didn't matter after he finished pretending.

They were particularly devout and were developing into priests. It wasn't until they ran into a group of renegade Word Bearers that they realized they were Word Bearers.

Of course, these people have no interest in joining the underworld. They can believe in the Emperor freely in the Empire. This is a great life.

then……

Their sub-group was broken up in this encounter, and they landed on this planet. As a result, they lived a primitive life here for decades and had no way to leave.

Then he saw himself and his people landing. He was originally on the other side of the planet, and he hurried over hoping to give them a ride. Then he saw the big shining statue.

This is paradise!!!

Zhou Ye didn't bother to care about these three oddballs. He'd quietly given them an insurance policy, essentially corrupting them. As for the rest, let them do whatever they wanted; go worship the yellow-skinned man. If these people wanted to help him manage the state religion, then let them do it. He didn't want to get involved with these things, fearing they'd be contaminated by something even more rubbish than sub-space psychic energy—faith.

After all, in such a horrible world, there are always people who need to be worshipped. Worshiping a yellow-skinned person is better than worshipping the monsters headed by those four respondents. Besides, he had more important things to deal with, which was to digest the gains from this time and...

"Fuck, they actually stole a bit of Lao Mo's subspace essence. Even though it's only a small amount, he can slowly recover it. But it's still a little stronger. Let's keep it for now and see if it can be used in the future."

Everything else was fine, but he hadn't thought of snatching away a portion of the Demon Primarch's Warp Essence. To be honest, among these Demon Primarchs, Mortarion and Fulgrim's Warp Essences were truly intact.

Nurgle is called the benevolent father for a reason. Compared to other Warp Gods, he is much more merciful. Fulgrim used Perturabo's Warp Essence to offer to the Ascended Daemon of Slaanesh, while Nurgle did not touch Mortarion's Warp Essence at all.

Moreover, after this guy set fire to the Garden of Nurgle, the punishment he received was almost non-existent.

If this had happened to the other three, who knows what would have happened.

Now in Nurgle's garden...

"Oooooh, damned cursed one."

At this moment, Nurgle was crying so hard, because his most perfect child, the one who was most like him, even more perfect than him, was right in front of him. That perfect combination of life and death was something that Nurgle, who had given up the death side, had never had.

Just feeling that aura made Nurgle feel like his body was boiling. Countless Nurgle spirits living in his body were also driven away by this boiling aura.

But even such a perfect being, Nurgle couldn't see it. He couldn't see how that false emperor, that abominable cursed one, had used the essence he had given him to create such a perfect being. And how he had hidden it so deeply, even using his disgusting power to shield his own eyes.

Nurgle is so sad now. Why doesn't such a perfect existence belong to him? He wants to get the other person so much.

Compared to him, even his former favorite, Mortarion, seemed pale and weak.

As for Mortarion...

At this point, he was already withdrawing, his essence damaged. He was also pressed to the ground and rubbed, and his wings were plucked out. But thankfully, Nurgle helped him repair it, but the missing essence would take time to recover.

"I didn't get his blood this time, otherwise I would have created a divine plague specifically for him, to make him experience what pain is!!!"

At this time, Mortarion said with gritted teeth that it was a complete and utter defeat for him, a defeat so terrible that it could not be described.

But fortunately, Nurgle didn't say anything and was completely immersed in his sadness at this time.

As for Mortarion, he would not think so. He now had another shocking plan. That was to create a plague, a plague that could kill his strange brother.

So he found Kugath, a Great Unclean One with whom he had a good relationship. To be honest, this guy was quite loyal, accompanying Mortarion to ignore Nurgle's orders and deal with Guilliman.

Mortarion was quite dissatisfied with this defeat. If the opponent could enter the warp and fight him, he would definitely not be like this now.

"Cursed one, I will snatch my most perfect child from you!!!"

Mortarion, who hadn't left yet, clenched his fists upon hearing Nurgle's words. He then continued to speed away. As for the resurrected Typhon, he dared not utter a single word. He had never expected this.

The being that he had fought with all his might but couldn't defeat, and then hung himself up and beat him up, was actually a Primarch. Although it looked a little small, only about three meters tall, it was still a Primarch. This was too terrifying.

"I remember Abaddon killed a copy of his Gene-Father, so this is the difference between a fake and the real thing."

Typhons didn't dare to say anything at this point and quickly left Nurgle's garden to continue his mission. This time, Nurgle wasn't angry about the failure of his plan or the heavy losses he suffered. He was actually delighted to have such a perfect child and was now considering how to obtain him.

Of course, Zhou Ye wasn't very clear about this. After all, he couldn't enter the subspace. Naturally, he didn't know what was going on inside. On the other side, the planet he was on was very far away, but not particularly far away either...

Ultramar 500, home of the Ultramarines, is also the best place for people in the entire Imperium. After all, people from other places would retreat in fear at the sight of the Inquisitors, or even dare not even look at them. And those thugs or underhive elders who accidentally offended the Inquisition would most likely shoot themselves to avoid triggering the Inquisition's purge of the Underhive.

But here, especially on Macragge, people feel that the Inquisitor is a rare item.

For example, Chris at this moment was silently looking at a group of residents who were pointing at him.

The Inquisition, which can calm a child's tears, seems to have a little...dignity on Macragge.

"Captain Calgar, regarding the Second Empire..."

Chris spoke slowly, looking at the blue giant before him. It would have been fine if he hadn't said this, but as soon as he did, Calgar's expression changed.

This is an unspeakable secret among the Ultramarines. How did the Inquisitor know this?

"Okay, Chapter Captain Calgar. I'm not here for this, but too much information on Terra has been lost. Relatively speaking, the records on Macragge are more complete. I want to ask if you know someone..."

What can I say about the Second Empire? I'll just mention it briefly. The Ultramarines can still tolerate it, but if you make a fuss about it, that's another matter.

Chris must be crazy to make a fuss about this. If it weren't for some crazy priest, he would have no idea about it.

After all, word quickly spread of a ragtag group of Necromancers appearing in Esthia. Then, a group of Ultramarines happened to be passing by. They looked over and saw the Necromancers chanting "Long live the Second Empire" and then "Long live the Second Empire"...

Although it has been explained that the Second Empire was the second human empire established by the Emperor on the ruins, the first one was destroyed in the Dark Age of Technology.

But it still caught his attention, and after a little investigation, he found many clues. However, he was not interested in discussing this. He came to Macragge to see if he could retrieve some information.

After all, Terra lost so much after the Siege of Terra, and Guilliman secretly kept many backups on Macragge. It's unclear whether he was ambitious enough to betray the Imperium and establish a Second Empire, or if he simply wanted to keep a backup.

After all, electronic products cannot be used in this world, and books must be used with extreme caution.

"What do you want to know?"

"It's about a mysterious priest called 010 Omega, but I guess it's just a code name. He knows too many secrets. As the spokesperson for the Golden Throne, I must remain vigilant against him."

"Never heard of it."

Seeing that the Inquisitor hadn't said anything to the Second Empire, Calgar was relieved. This thing was a dark side of Guilliman's past, but it was different from the pure insanity of the Dark Angels.

After giving this some thought, Calgar said with certainty. They had quite a bit of information on Macragge, but most of it dated back to after Guilliman was born. No one knew anything about the earlier eras.

"so……"

Just as the Inquisitor was explaining this to Calgar, at a base of the Ultramarines.

Although most of the sub-groups have their own home planets or bases, during an expedition a few years ago, several sub-groups suffered heavy losses, even their bases were lost.

Now they could only ask the Mechanicum to mobilize their inventory to replenish their personnel, but they had just applied when they saw a tax collection ship being swept all the way to Macragge by the Warp Storm, and it happened to have a batch of Ultramarines seeds on board.

So these people didn't hesitate and went straight up to take it down and use it. Anyway, the Empire didn't supervise the Astartes that strictly, and they also had a high degree of independence.

Anyway, the application has been sent out, so just consider it as getting it in advance.

only……

"The seeds these guys gave us last time contained some Word Bearers. Let's not let anything go wrong this time."

At this point, several Chapter Masters were grumbling among themselves. It was fine with other seeds, but what was the point of giving them the Word Bearers? They'd suffered heavy losses before. They didn't know where those three unlucky guys had gone, and now they were a little scared.

"I've confirmed it's Ultramarines gene-seed, and it's extremely pure. It was handed over from Pioneer Star. Pioneer Star... do we have such a successor?"
