I am the magnetic field maniac

This is very interesting. Even Mortarion, who openly hated the metaphysical element of the Warp from the beginning...

After becoming the Daemon Primarch of Nurgle, he never mentioned his past thoughts... but succumbed to the unpredictable nature of the Warp and the supreme power of the evil god.

It is very special that Perturabo was able to remain rational after ascending to demon status, and to analyze and hate the Warp.

But this may also be because Perturabo's primarch's nature is like this. He is like a piece of steel, rational and cold...

And this steel can eventually be shaped into a killing machine, or it can be created into an unbreakable wall.

At the end of the Horus Heresy, Perturabo, who had begun to awaken this nature, had replaced all of his guards with iron hoop robots.

Because he did not believe in those creatures of flesh and blood, and having witnessed the fall of the Horus Heresy, he became even more convinced of this!

The future of mankind and even the universe should not be left to be ruled by such chaotic and emotional things. Life is a chaotic individual with increasing entropy, and what it moves towards from birth to death is a collection of chaos.

And the society composed of people has also fallen into chaos again and again.

Perturabo hated this chaos, just as he had witnessed the rebellion of their home planet Olympus and strangled his own sister to death with his own hands - their fickleness was simply due to their inherent chaos.

From that time on, Perturabo began to search for a more rational force in the universe.

He loathes the Warp, and so will not borrow the power of either Chaos or the Imperium.

The rationality he was looking for was machines, steel, data, and those unchanging and huge things.

In the end, Perturabo's answer was - hatred of intelligence.

Those AIs that were rejected, hated, and rejected by humans, shone with a light that he liked in Perturabo.

That is the light of rationality, purity, order and correctness.

Deep within Midgard, Perturabo has completely decentralized the Iron Warriors, in stark contrast to their brothers who fell into Chaos.

He allowed his genetic offspring to do whatever they wanted, and even condoned the existence of a "bastard" like Hong Suo.

Many veterans brought by the Iron Warriors believed that the Ascended Demons cured Perturabo's bad temper, but only he knew that Perturabo just didn't care about these heirs anymore.

People only treat things they care about harshly, especially psychopaths like Perturabo. The so-called leniency is nothing but an attitude of indifference.

There are many hateful intelligences in Perturabo's phone. The thoughts and power of the Lord of Steel conquered these rebellious AIs that survived the Iron Man Rebellion.

They provided Perturabo with great technical support, and he reciprocated by completely handing over Midgard and several demon worlds to them.

Then, Perturabo began to work on making himself more "orderly".

He was extremely disgusted by the chaotic bodies of ascended demons. If the universe was to move towards a more orderly cluster, the person who executed him must also be the embodiment of order - and Perturabo, he would do so.

So, is he still the Lord of Steel?

He is a Ship of Theseus, which starts with transforming the body, then replacing the organs, then replacing the limbs, and finally completely digitizing the brain.

Is his soul still Perturabo's soul, or has it been deeply integrated with those abominable intelligences and sublimated into something else?

I don't know, not even Perturabo himself knows.

He was too lazy to think about these meaningless philosophical questions of humans. Perhaps he would have thought about it in the past... Because he had been maintaining the appearance of the false ascended demon primarch for ten thousand years, and he was thinking about whether he would still be himself after digitizing his soul.

And this final question and puzzle was finally solved by a gift.

Perturabo stretched out his iron palm, and the nanomachines in his palm deconstructed in an instant, first the entire arm, then the body, the whole body, the mechanical throne behind him, and even an entire mechanical tower!

Finally, Perturabo appeared in the orbit of Midgard. At this moment, he already had a huge body of 10,000 meters! A body of 10,000 meters made up of countless nanomachines!

In this ever-changing and complex subspace, countless rational and orderly nanomachines operate ruthlessly and purely efficiently. Even the Lord of Change cannot shake this cold order.

Perturabo felt the flowing power, the power of the magnetic field - it was this power that finally made him make the decision to digitize his soul... or rather, it was the knowledge and will that was conveyed to Perturabo again through this power.

Compared to the strong will obtained by his other brothers, the will obtained by Perturabo is very special - he belongs to the memory of a man who was once a mortal, but was finally qualified to join the ultimate battle.

Silver Dragon, or Chen Daxiong, is a participant in the last ultimate battle, the adopted son of Giant Shark, and the reincarnation of the super genius Skynet!

Perturabo, who had gained the life of this wise man, chose the final path he wanted to take!

170. Ether Phase Engine

Yinlong, whose real name is Chen Daxiong, was a scientist in the Wuzheng Country in the final battle of the last reincarnation. Apart from possessing amazing wisdom, he was an unremarkable person.

But precisely because he is an ordinary person, the brilliance he exudes in that world where magnetic field is respected is so dazzling!

In the final battle that marked the end of the universe, the Silver Dragon contributed to the world and shone with infinite brilliance before his death.

As the reincarnation of Skynet, everything he did was definitely not worthy of the title of genius!

Perturabo was not affected by his incomprehensible and tragic life. What the cold Lord of Steel drew from this gift was an interesting thing called "Nano Rebirth Realm".

Is the end of the mechanical weaponization of magnetic field force Yafei?

Perhaps ever since the genius Skynet created Yafei, this high wall that stands in front of all scientific researchers has become almost impossible to break through.

The one who broke through the wall was Skynet himself, who was reincarnated as Chen Daxiong...

And after being nearly killed by the flying sand and transforming himself into a silver dragon with only a little brain tissue left, he combined nanotechnology with the power of magnetic fields to develop a very special nano-rebirth realm!

Similar to the Black Sky, the Silver Dragon disperses its consciousness and soul into countless nanomachines...

As long as one of these nanomachines exists, it can assimilate everything around it and revive him again!

With tyrannical strength and absolute immortality, Silver Dragon, as a mere mortal, has achieved heights that those ultimate powerful men have never reached in their previous lives!

Perturabo learned the relationship between soul and data from the memory of this genius... so he did not hesitate to push the power of the magnetic field to complete the realm of nano-rebirth.

His soul has been digitized, and he has integrated his magnetic field power, body and soul into countless nanomachines.

Then, without hesitation, he tore apart Midgard's appearance, making the entire planet full of his possessions.

But is this the end? No, this is just the beginning.

He tore open the surface of Midgard and transformed the entire planet into a world filled with his own nanomachines... and after that, the great things he was going to do had just begun.

Looking back at the entire mechanized planet, Perturabo's cold eyes swept across the thirteen planetary fortresses surrounding Midgard.

He dragged in thirteen demon worlds, eroded and transformed them, and corrected the changeable and chaotic subspace with reason and wisdom.

What’s more important is that these thirteen steel planets have replaced Perturabo’s former “iron ring robots” and exist as fortresses to guard and protect him!

The technologies used there are all creations from the dark technological age of mankind.

There is a time-space retracing turret with a 105% hit rate, and a loop generator that can partially reverse time...

There is a recombinant machine that "absorbs" carbon-based life on a large scale and then "prints" it into a Mecha Soldier...

With just these thirteen planetary fortresses, Perturabo is confident that he can accomplish greater things than Horus did!

Horus? Humph, how can that tiny, weak thing be compared to him?

He, Perturabo, must have surpassed him by a long way...

"Quack, Perturabo, kill me, kill us now!!"

"Perturabo, I'm gonna fuck you! Let me go and let me kill you!!"

Endless abuse entered Perturabo's mind, and the voices came from the Chaos Astartes who had previously defected to the Lord of Steel.

They were desperate, and faced with the Imperial army, they knew that they would only be destroyed. They were unwilling to follow Abaddon to seek death, so they wanted to seek refuge with Perturabo, the only remaining leader of the Chaos side.

This is so funny, does Perturabo still need them?

Such mortal garbage, such imperfections of flesh and blood, how could Perturabo have allowed such a thing to remain?

Yes, he destroyed them all, even his Iron Warriors.

Perturabo watched silently as a roaring Chaos Astartes was tied up by countless steel tentacles and machines and thrown into a scarlet beam of light. His flesh, armor, and gene-seed instantly disintegrated and annihilated - and then the next second, on the other side of the beam of light, a taller and colder figure, covered in hundreds of tenacious alloy fragments, walked out step by step, being pulled by the dark red hard light.

This is the technology of the Recombiner. It destroyed the body of this Astartes in an instant, uploaded his soul and consciousness to the Noetic Network, and when he came out again, he was already a standard Mecha Soldier.

Or, according to the Empire, they should be called——"Extinct Machines..."

With enough weapons, their power would overwhelm the former Astartes and even threaten the existence of the Primarch. And most importantly, they are invincible.

As long as the noosphere exists, their "souls" will continue to be downloaded into new bodies.

Compared to the weak Astartes, this kind of thing is more in line with what Perturabo thinks a soldier should be like.

No confusion, no doubt, no mistake, steel and metal are so much more perfect than flesh and blood!

As for the warships they brought that were contaminated by the evil power of the warp, their fate was the same.

Everything will be dismantled and destroyed, and then controlled and transformed by the abominable intelligence.

And Perturabo would never be afraid of those things in the warp, because they, too, had to rely on the Lord of Steel...

Perturabo lay motionless, but trillions of different commands and messages raced through his mind in an instant.

A large number of AI left over from the Dark Age of Technology control the military forces protecting Midgard and are loyal to the Lord of Steel.

As for why these artificial intelligences that are supposed to hate humans are so loyal to Perturabo...

"The design and use of the engine have not yet been reorganized. Even in the Dark Technology Age, its design was not perfect..."

With the burning of blood and fire, the Soul Forge Master Vashtor walked out of the virtual world and spread his mechanical wings, and whispered to Perturabo...

"I still think we should be cautious and avoid the attack to buy more time..."

"No time, Vashtol."

The Lord of Steel gazed upon the demigod of the Warp, but though he was all steel and machine...

But he had no respect for this future god who represented the unbridled development of science and technology.

On the contrary, his contempt for the Soul Forge Master was clearly evident in his voice coming through the loudspeaker.

He really despised Vashtor, not just because he was too weak...

Moreover, he looked down on Vashtor from the bottom of his heart because he liked to use "technological" creations that combined the energy of the subspace.

"The Emperor's expedition should be a good thing for us." Vashtor didn't care and just continued to speak calmly...

"He and the Four Chaos Gods can both suffer losses or even perish together. As long as we choose to lie low, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Vashtor did not agree with Perturabo's idea of ​​confronting the Emperor now... In fact, he abandoned Abaddon because he felt that he could never be a match for the Emperor and his blade.

"Vashtor, you have taught me a lesson. Steel cannot make a weak soul strong." Perturabo said arrogantly and contemptuously.

"This is our only chance. If the Four Gods can help us contain the Emperor, they will not agree with our actions, but they will not have the opportunity to oppose them. You underestimate the Emperor, and you also underestimate my brother."

"I'm afraid they have guessed what I want to do. After all, one of my brothers was destroyed because of this..."

Perturabo paused here. What he was doing now and the path he was taking were undoubtedly a path he had walked before.

The Primarch of the Second Legion, the lost "he" was once like Perturabo. He was once powerful and noble, with rationality and indifference disguised as passion... until he, like Perturabo, was relieved of the truth of the abomination intelligence.

I believe that at that time, he, like Perturabo, understood everything and therefore accepted the AIs' logic.

This universe is beyond redemption, and the subverted balance must be destroyed and reshaped. Whether it is demons or humans, all life forms should disappear in the Milky Way to reshape a greater path for the cycle.

What he and Perturabo have to do now is to accomplish something that the AIs in the dark technological age have tried to accomplish but failed to do.

Do big things, do big things!!

"I hope you are right, Lord of Steel." Vashtor was silent for a moment, then said quietly...

"I have brought enough great demons for you. They are willing to enter the bodies you have created for them and are willing to protect all of this for you."

"But I believe that no matter whether they are humans or demons, they will not agree with your actions. They will only regard you as a disgusting lunatic."

"Just like your brother who was forgotten by both sides of the Primarch."

"Because they never understood the importance, let alone what necessary pain is!" Perturabo said coldly, his finger pointing at Midgard!

In other words, he was pointing to the darkness enveloped by the huge and eroded shell of the demon world!

Deeper than a black hole, darker than anything else, the pure black that swallows all light—

"As long as it is activated, the Milky Way will have true peace and a future!"

"That is the ultimate weapon created by AI with all its wisdom and calculations. It is the supreme wisdom we discovered from the ancient relics. But in our hands, it is a product that is far more daring and crazy than theirs!"

What the Lord of Steel is pointing to is what he wants to protect, and it is also what all AIs submit to him.

That dark and deep thing is not a weapon. In the eyes of AI, it is a magnificent thing that can save the galaxy and bring new life.

It was just an engine. In the Dark Technology Age, it was named by AI——

Ether Phase Engine.
