Warhammer 40 A New Hope

"continue."
"They promised to give me more say, so I helped them. I never thought of helping them destroy Qingtian."
"Who is the person who contacted you?"
"It was Watt. He was in charge of contacting me. He came here once before and asked me to escape, but..."
"Just what?"
"He was a little different that time, like, tanned?"
At this moment, the Grey Knights and the Imperial Guards noticed at the same time that something seemed to be stirring in the flesh of the human under his clothes.
The two men calmly placed their hands on their weapons and were wary of the human in front of them.
"He was very strange at that time. He reminded me that this place was about to become a battlefield and asked me to leave alone. He..."
"He asked me to say hello to you, traveler."
“Ughh ...
The man who was fine the last second suddenly let out a heart-wrenching scream, and at the same time, a black substance like the beast-killing substance broke through his flesh and blood, waving around like tentacles.
The Imperial Guards on the side acted quickly, at a speed that was difficult for almost everyone present to see. As soon as the mutation occurred, they beheaded the mutated being with a single sword. Bright red blood splattered everywhere, and the Grey Knight released scorching psychic flames towards the target.
Almost instantly, the mutated Jacques Xueni was engulfed in flames, but even so he was still alive.
"Ahhhhh!" Jacques Xueni wailed as he was engulfed in flames. Even though his head and body were severed, he was still alive and even had a certain degree of self-awareness. "Save me! Save me! My daughter, save me!"
"I don't want to..."
Bear--!
The Grey Knight who released the psychic flame suddenly increased his output, and the color of the flame turned into a bright blue, completely reducing it to ashes in just a few seconds.
"We need to thoroughly investigate this city, sir." The imperial guards beside him said to Zhang Yi. "There may be many more of these people."
"You go ahead and do it."
Zhang Yi said, looking at Weiss and the others whose faces turned pale - especially Weiss, who still had a few drops of blood splashing on her face.
"vomit--!"
It turns out that beautiful girls can also vomit, and the way they vomit is no different from that of ordinary people.
The scene just now had such a huge impact on them that even Winter, a soldier, looked unhappy - but in the 40K world, such things can be said to happen at any time.
Seeing this, Zhang Yi walked over and wiped the blood off her face, while a gentle magical energy was released.
"So..."
"This is a fucking world..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[Lake of Annihilation]
This place used to be the territory of the Dark God, with a huge number of killing beasts and a huge dark lake. It was a forbidden area for almost all life.
And now, this place is being cleaned up.
Sizzle--!
Green lightning swept across, clearing out a large area of the Slayers near the dark lake. A large number of cold Necron warriors began to clean up the Slayers here, while searching for Watt who was parasitized by Tzeentch.
But they found nothing, it seemed their goal was not here...
The Necrons eventually found the clothing of the human who became Watt in the dark lake, his body completely destroyed and melted.
Then, the Necrons tested the black lake water that came from the god of their world, but the result showed normal - it seemed that Tzeentch's consciousness was too arrogant, so that he was completely destroyed by the destructive power in the lake, and nothing was left.
But considering Tzeentch's usual style, this is most likely a trick to deceive him, a temporary silence for the sake of plans in a few years, decades or even hundreds of years.
Therefore, two Undead pyramids and a large number of troops were teleported here to detect any future changes in the lake water and to suppress the production of killing beasts here.
On the other hand, in the name of the Human Empire, Zhang Yi and his team summoned the leaders of all the kingdoms in the current Shubusi world to announce the future events of this world.
When the Necrons' warships appeared in the sky above the capitals of various kingdoms, most people chose to obey; and when the stories of the past, Salem's still movable head and Ozpin's 'canned soul' were placed on the negotiation table by those lifeless metal beings, everyone was silent.
As mentioned before, the emergence of the Necrons crushed all existence and made all efforts ridiculous.
Zhang Yi's condition is that the Shubuzi world will be incorporated into the Human Empire, accepting the leadership and protection of both the Necrons and the Human Empire (mainly the Necrons), and starting a "special deal" with the Necrons - trading those who possess vitality and special outward forces.
Transactions are based on the principle of voluntariness - the technological capabilities of the Necrons are enough to attract countless people to trade with them - and this operation has already given them a lot of usable test subjects.
After discussions, the leaders of the Shubuzi world also put forward demands, such as retaining the four holy artifacts - the Necrons agreed to almost all of their demands because they didn't care.
All they need is vitality. They need vitality to regain their souls, and the four sacred artifacts?
The Four Sacred Artifacts are gifts left by the God of Light to the second generation of humans. Only humans of Shubuzi can use them. Zhang Yi has proved this before.
As one of Trazyn's clones, Kasu has proved with his actions that these so-called holy artifacts can be interfered with and destroyed by the power of the Necrons. In other words, the technological level of these things is not very high - in fact, if they are given time to study, it is not impossible to copy them in a short period of time.
Therefore, apart from the [Staff of Creation] that they need, they don't care about other things. As an ancient race that participated in the [War in Heaven] and killed the [Star Gods], the creations of the Twin Gods, or even themselves, may not be worthy of their attention - their pride prevents them from snatching a nice-looking toy from a group of creatures that have not yet left their home planet.
The Necrons will take good care of all the humans who do not live in the tree, so that they will have a high-quality source of vitality and be able to restore their souls better and faster.
Each kingdom can continue to govern itself. You can do whatever you want within a limited scope, or even start a small-scale "war" just to please yourself. As long as it is not excessive, the Necrons will not intervene.
However, the indifference of the Necrons terrified the leaders of the Treeless - because it meant that everything they wanted to keep and their attempts to break free from control were not being watched by these terrifying metal beings, and they didn't care.
If this were just arrogance, it would be fine, but if they still have the capital for arrogance, it means that it is almost impossible for them to resist successfully.
Soon after, these former leaders discovered something even more terrifying - the existence of these metals was fulfilling their promise.
The Necrons began to really allocate a large number of manpower to build those remote cities, clear out the threatening beasts, and provide food, clothing and even jobs for the poor. They were really improving the lives of humans in the world of the Treeless.
Everything was just as Zhang Yi promised, but this made some people feel scared.
The object of the transaction from the beginning was the entire tree-less human race, not the various kingdoms, and what the Necrons needed was only vitality, not the various kingdoms.
"If it weren't for my proposal, you would have to pay your vitality as a 'tithe tax' every once in a while." Zhang Yi said to James and others who were looking livid. "You still have hope, they can still continue to develop on their own, and even if one day in the future you have the ability to talk to the Necrons on an equal footing, you can negotiate with them again, but now..."
"You'd better accept these conditions."
"By the way, don't even think about asking the Twin Gods to handle the problem."
"Let's not talk about whether those two will deal with you after seeing the current Shubuzi world..."
"The Necrons have truly participated in wars between gods, and have sealed and killed gods."
"Your twin gods are definitely not good enough."
362. The emperor slowly lowered his palm.
Neither the Necrons nor the Human Empire are something that the Shubuzi World can deal with at this stage. For a civilization that can only struggle on its own home planet, these two existences are too powerful.
As for their creator and destroyer - the twin gods created by the world tree, let's not talk about whether these two will help the humans who don't belong to the tree. As mentioned before, these two young gods are too insignificant for the dangerous world of 40K.
Zhang Yi has fought for the greatest degree of "freedom" and rights for the people of the Shubusi world - the Necrons will protect and supervise them, guarantee the lives of everyone, and on this basis reserve their right to progress and development.
As mentioned before, if one day the people of the Shubuzi world develop to the point where the Necrons need to take them seriously, then they will also regard them as an independent country; but if the humans of Shubuzi sink into the "utopia" built for them by the Necrons...
Whether they like it or not, the huge Necrons will be stationed here from now on. The huge black pyramid appears in a place that humans in this world cannot reach. In the future, this will become the base camp of the Necrons in this world, monitoring the entire world. At the same time, in the space that humans cannot reach, huge creations are gradually taking shape under the busy work of countless [Ghost Beetles] - this will become the prison cell of the Gemini gods who may return in the future.
"Except for the problem of Tzeentch, the other problems of this world have been solved... Tzeentch..."
The exploration of the Lake of Annihilation has been ongoing, but even with the combined efforts of the Empire and the Necrons, there is still no result - on the one hand, this is because it is a creation of a god after all, and it is not so easy to study it thoroughly, and on the other hand, that trace of Tzeentch's will seems to have really disappeared in the lake full of destructive power.
"That special parasitic beast has been found all over the world, but it has been cleared out by the Necrons..."
"It should have been cleaned up..."
Currently, Zhang Yi and his friends are temporarily living in the Weiss family's mansion. This manor, which has been deserted for many years, is finally getting some popularity (why is there only one servant, the dwarf, in such a big house?).
As the CEO of Xue Ni Chen Jing Company, Jacques Xue's death had a great impact on the entire group - to be more precise, it was his "unique" way of death.
Being parasitized by the Beast God without anyone noticing, and turned into a twisted monster in public, and then killed by Zhang Yi and his team, the Xue Ni Chen Jing Company, which already had a problematic reputation, was once again pushed to the forefront, with doubts rising one after another.
Weiss's sister, as a senior executive of the company, had to deal with this series of public relations issues, and on the other hand...
The way his father died had a huge impact on the entire RWBY team, especially Weiss.
Although this kind of thing happens almost all the time in the Warhammer world, and there is nothing inappropriate about what the Custodians and the Grey Knights did, and matters related to Tzeentch should be resolved quickly, but...
For a group of students who were still studying in school not long ago, this is really too 'stimulating'.
Ruby and the others had been sleeping together recently, and Weiss was woken up by nightmares almost every day.
"For these little girls, everything in that world is too early." Gorgon said to Zhang Yi. "Or rather, they shouldn't be exposed to anything in that world."
"How could I not know this?" Zhang Yi responded. "Jianqi, you always want to cause trouble for me..."
"Go do something."
"what?"
"You should deal with the problems your people created," Gorgon said. "You said that only one world like that is enough."
"...Too."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As a hunter, Ruby and others are actually more mentally resilient than imagined, which can be seen from the original plot.
But what they saw this time was far beyond their imagination.
Qiang and Ruby tried to get rid of that horrific scene through training, and it was indeed effective. They were beaten up by the kitten and had no time to think about the scene - that thing was cut by the golden giant in front of them. Isn't this more horrible than Weiss's father?
But for Weiss, it wasn't that easy. Now her asshole father was obstructing her in another 'way'.
bite--
The slender tip of the weapon was placed on the ground, a magic circle was formed, and she tried to use her outward force to summon various creatures made of dust crystals, while using this to calm herself down.
[Save me! Save me! My daughter, save me!]
However, Weiss, who witnessed his father's death, was unable to do so.
The father's head and body were separated, his lower body turned into a monster and was still twisting wildly, but his head was looking for help from her, hoping that her daughter would save him.
The blue and white magic circle began to flicker, and Weiss was unable to concentrate, so this summoning was about to fail.
At this moment, a hand held her hand
“Focus and imagine something different this time.”
"?"
Gentle magical fluctuations spread, and the flickering magic circle began to stabilize. At the same time, an existence that did not belong to the Shubusi world began to gradually emerge from it.
A... Dreadnought?
"I have to say, your outward force is really 'convenient'..."
"What did you ask me to make?!" Weiss looked at the thing in front of her that looked like a moving coffin and shouted at Zhang Yi.
"Well... in some ways, it's not a big problem to call this thing a 'coffin'..." Zhang Yi said after a little thought. "It's just a coffin that can fight, jump and move..."
Subsequent experiments proved that this dreadnought mecha made with outward force was just a showpiece. Weiss, who did not understand its detailed structure, could not make a functioning one.
But this did not stop Zhang Yi from continuing to hold Weiss's hand and rub various 'figures'.
From the Tapmon, to the Black Knight in Dark Soul, and even the Vanguard Titan bt7274. . .
Ruby and others who came to inquire also joined the ranks of 'rubbing their hands' after seeing this scene.
"Don't play with my outward force!"
"Aren't you having a lot of fun playing?" Zhang Yi said, pointing at a row of ice knight figurines Weiss had assembled. "How about making a chess set?"
"Agreed!" (Ruby)
"I didn't agree!"
In the end, everyone came up with a somewhat strange chess set. As for why it was strange...
For example: the black soldier is the Black Knight; the white horse is Poseidon Seahorse (God of War); the black rook is the Vanguard Titan.
"So, are these real other worlds?" Ruby pointed at the black side of the mages/Pope Salivan and said, "Are there really mages with great swords?"
"In some ways, it's normal for a wizard in that world to carry a big sword..."
As they spoke, everyone looked at Weiss at the same time.
"Why are you looking at me? Do you want me to learn from him? We are not from the same world!"
