Warhammer 40 A New Hope

"Second Security Area. If the large elevator is functional, you can go down from there and reach the energy supply area of ​​the space station."

Sizzle--sizzle!

Suddenly, the dim light above his head began to flicker. Fugen raised his head and looked around. With his superhuman hearing, he could clearly hear that something seemed to be moving quickly around him.

Squeak--!

Biu!

The small zombie that crawled out of the ventilation duct only had time to let out a roar before it was submerged by the oncoming ion sphere, dragging along the other zombies that stood up.

The zombie that appeared from another direction was beheaded by Fulgrim with a single blow. Its head rolled to the ground and was crushed to pieces by a foot.

The light from the ion pistol illuminated the dark room, and the roar of the monster and the sound of the power scimitar breaking through the air intertwined with each other.

After a few minutes, the sound stopped and the lights above his head stabilized. However, around Fugen, there were now various small and medium-sized zombies.

squeak--!

The metal door with the words "weapons storage area" on the side suddenly opened slowly, and a man poked his head out tremblingly. Fugen turned his head and looked at the man.

"Don't shoot! I'm not a monster, I'm human."

"..." Fugen remained silent.

"You... you are from the government, right? Thank God finally..." Seeing that Fugen did not respond, the man slowly approached him, while talking to himself. "Those monsters and lunatics, they attacked here, they..."

brush--!

With almost no effort, Fugen swung the scimitar in his hand, splitting the head and body of the survivor in front of him in half.

The man's face was still frozen with an expression of having survived a disaster. He had not expected Fugen to suddenly attack him. His blood rushed to the ceiling and his head rolled to the ground.

As the headless corpse fell, the high-energy bomb hidden under its clothes was revealed.

"No one would come out after hearing that kind of noise." Fulgrim said as he crushed the head of the corpse on the ground. "And I heard you pacing in that small room and the noise of the interference circuit."

"The divine seals you believe in will not protect you. They will only turn you into monsters in their hands."

. . . . . .

On a relatively flat surface, a huge transport plane was slowly descending, and after stopping, it lowered its tail door.

An Imperial Commissar in a Leman Rust tank equipped with a flamethrower was the first to drive out, followed by Astra Militarum soldiers wearing carapace armor and several small Titans.

"Greetings, Brother Astartes." The leading commissar saluted the Blood Angel Space Marine in front of him with the Eagle Salute. "We will be responsible for the defense of the landing zone from now on."

"Thank you for your hard work." The [Blood Angel] responded. "Please be careful, this place is not far from the nearest divine seal."

"After landing, the Mechanicus and the engineering forces will set up a protective position in this area, which will be enough to deal with the impact of those ghosts."

Boom--!

Suddenly, an explosion was heard from the direction of the divine seal, and a huge red divine seal collapsed.

At the same time, a sound like a wailing sounded from afar because of the collapse of the Divine Seal.

In a rare incident, the offensive of the Divine Seal and the zombies was suppressed and then they counterattacked, which made both the Divine Seal behind the scenes and the Unification Church members who were kept in the dark feel extremely panicked.

"No running! Attack! Death is not the end! We will all..."

Bang--!

The person who seemed to be a high-ranking figure of the Unification Church who tried to drive the fleeing believers back to hold the line disappeared in a flash of blue light.

There is no doubt about the powerful fighting capacity of the Space Marines. Even with the help of the grotesque corpses, these foolish mortals are no match for the God Warriors, especially after seeing the God's seal that is the object of their faith being destroyed.

Neither their counterattacks nor the zombies' attacks could have much impact on these powerful giants. Even the divine seal's all-powerful mental interference had no effect on them.

After experiencing several futile attacks and seeing the Seal of God being destroyed with their own eyes, those believers in the Seal of God began to waver, and then lost their order. Everything they firmly believed in collapsed at this moment - in the face of these enemies, their faith was of no use.

Just like the first Great Crusade ten thousand years ago, these humans began to call the Space Marines demons. They began to flee the battlefield or kneel on the ground, repenting for what they had done and begging for forgiveness.

But what awaits them is only death...

Even during the First Great Crusade led by the Emperor ten thousand years ago, there were many cases of worshipping a certain thing or a specific alien god. At that time, for those beings that controlled humans in various ways or were actively believed in by humans, as well as those hopeless human believers, there was only one result - to be buried with their gods.

Perhaps in this world, the God Seals destroyed countless carbon-based civilizations through their own means, and turned their flesh and blood into blood moons. Then they used this to destroy more civilizations, but...

This time, what they need to face is no longer the ignorant young civilization that has just entered the universe, but the human empire that has footprints all over the galaxy, has gone through nearly ten thousand years of fighting, and has rich experience in dealing with various alien races and messy things.

Compared to the Divine Seal, which can only play when it is in a favorable situation and can only use mechanism restraint to crush a group of carbon-based creatures, the Human Empire is undoubtedly a behemoth that it cannot look up to or imagine.

Now, it’s easy to switch between offense and defense.

470. Confrontation (Part )

Dead Space, Lunar Orbit.

Bang--!

"Stop him..."

Bear--!

The Space Marines armed with promethium flamethrowers turned the Unified × followers who tried to stop them into a huge human-shaped fireball.

The metal door was directly pried open, and the weapons in the hands of the Unified × followers who were bewitched by the Divine Seal were completely unable to pose any threat to the [Emperor's Children] Space Marines wearing heavy power armor.

On the other hand, the various large-caliber firearms in the hands of the Space Marines can turn them into a pile of corpse fragments that even the Divine Seal cannot use, or simply turn them into ashes.

Bang bang bang－－!

Passion and faith alone are not enough to defeat the enemy, at least not the Space Marines. Even if the followers of Unified × want to launch a suicide attack, they will be unsuccessful under the fierce vitality of the enemy and will not be able to come back.

"Their target is the main control room of the space station! Blow up that..."

bite--!

The Unified × cultist who thought he had discovered the other party's purpose had not yet finished his words when his compatriot in front of him turned into a pile of ketchup, and was replaced by a [Emperor's Children] Space Marine who was originally on the opposite side.

Bang--!

The enemy's blood and brains splattered on the wall, and the other Space Marines also accelerated their advance at this time.

A few minutes later, the last Unified × cultist who occupied the main control room of the space station turned into a headless corpse on the ground. They put up a resolute resistance, but the outcome did not change.

"Clean the battlefield."

The Emperor's Children Space Marines, armed with promethium flamethrowers, stepped forward and burned all the corpses on the ground. While one of the corpses was being burned, the mental pollution detector it was carrying made a sound.

After peeling off the corpse that had turned into a charred block, the Space Marine successfully found a divine seal the size of an ordinary person's palm.

"If any dangerous items are found, they will be destroyed according to the procedures."

The small divine seal that was found seemed to have anticipated the danger. It immediately emitted a wave of energy, and the corpse nearby that had not yet been burned began to twist and mutate.

Zhi--BIU!

The ion pistol fired, incinerating most of the still-writhing body, and then another shot vaporized the rest.

Then, the small divine seal was placed on the ground and the ion pistol was pointed at it.

Zhi--BIU!

The extremely high temperature instantly vaporized them completely. The Emperor's Children Space Marines who controlled the main control room burned all the bodies and confirmed that they were safe again and again. Then they shouted into the communication: "Safety confirmed, engineering team enter."

. . . . . .

roar--!

brush--!

The powered scimitar with the ability to decompose the field swung down, cutting off one leg of the huge three-legged beast in front of it.

The three-legged beast lost its balance and fell to the ground. Seeing this, Fulgrim aimed his ion pistol at it and fired.

BIU!

The hot plasma sphere instantly vaporized the three-legged beast's head, and its huge body became completely motionless.

After confirming the power level of the battery in the ion pistol in his hand, Fugen was about to prepare to completely eliminate the huge monster in front of him, and at this moment a slender spiked tentacle appeared silently behind him.

"!"

Fugen, who discovered something was wrong in advance, dodged before the spiky tentacle behind him attacked, and the attack of the spiky tentacle missed. But then he realized something was wrong - the tentacle was not targeting him!

The barbed spikes hit the body of the three-legged beast that was lying on the ground, and then dragged its entire body towards him.

Fugen watched as the remaining body of the three-legged beast was dragged into the narrow ventilation duct where only its tentacles extended, with blood from the corpse smeared everywhere.

After the tentacle carrying the corpse of the three-legged beast completely disappeared, Fugen's superhuman hearing could clearly hear that something was approaching from the wall in front of him, and... it was quite large.

Silently adjusting the power of the ion pistol to maximum, Fugen silently took a few steps back and prepared for battle.

Suddenly, the rustling sound of something rubbing against metal and moving disappeared, replaced by an eerie silence.

"..."

Bang—crack!

roar--!

Suddenly, accompanied by a crash and the subsequent sound of metal breaking, a twisted mouth full of sharp teeth broke through the wall, appeared in front of Fulgrim, and roared at him.

Zhi--BIU!

The power was more powerful than any previous shot. The ion sphere released by Fugen at the cost of overheating the ion pistol in his hand instantly melted the big mouth that broke through the wall.

But soon Fugen discovered that the vaporized tissues began to regenerate, and at the same time, a large number of spiky tentacles with bright yellow pustules drilled out of the wall and appeared in front of Fugen.

The unique agility of the Space Marine Primarch allows him to block and cut off the attacks of those spiky tentacles at the moment of attack - the power scimitar in Fulgrim's hand is not the light weapons of Isaac in the original plot.

The severed tentacles began to regenerate after shaking for a while. Seeing this, Fugen overloaded the ion pistol in his hand and threw it at the huge zombie.

boom--!

The explosion caused by the ion pistol smashed the giant mouth that had just recovered again.

Click--click!

The metal wall in front of Fugen was completely stretched open, and the twisted body of the monster was fully revealed in front of him.

Like many large-scale zombies, the body of this zombie is also composed of a large number of zombies and biological corpses. Some of the zombies can still move on their own, and the corpses of some creatures are still clearly identifiable.

Obviously, this is an evolving aggregate. The zombies on this space station have clearly realized that the power of small and medium-sized zombies and the Unified × followers alone cannot deal with the enemies that have landed on this space station. They must become more powerful beings to have a chance of winning.

As the evolving body of the aggregate fully unfolded before Fulgrim's eyes, there were more spiky tentacles, a huge mouth full of sharp teeth, and the iconic bright yellow pustules.

roar--!

Although this aggregate is much smaller than those fully evolved aggregates, it is still a huge existence for Fugen.

The aggregate's huge size and powerful recovery ability mean that it cannot be destroyed with conventional weapons. As a second-level corpse-forming command unit second only to the Divine Seal, it itself can be regarded as a living Divine Seal.

As mentioned before, almost all corpses cannot be considered living creatures. Most of them have no self-awareness and are just puppets of the divine seal. The corpses themselves are also mutated from the corpses of living creatures.

As long as the body of the corpse is not completely destroyed and only one cell is left, then under the influence of the divine seal, a steady stream of corpses will be produced. This is why the Human Empire has to mobilize a large number of promethium flamethrowers, incineration weapons and ion weapons, and even cooperate with the Necrons to use their Gauss weapons that can particleize matter, because only in this way can these mutated corpses be completely killed.

But on the other hand, the Empire does have other weapons that can completely destroy a living being from the inside out, down to every cell, but...

This weapon is still under experimentation.

The self-detonation of Fugen's regular equipment ion pistol bought him some time. After cutting off several spiky tentacles that wanted to attack him, Fugen seized the opportunity to shoot a handful of ice-blue dust crystals at the aggregate in front of him.

The ice-blue dust crystals collided with each other and became activated, causing the temperature in the room to drop sharply. The body of the aggregate was covered with a thick layer of ice, slowing down its movement.

Taking this opportunity, Fugen also took out a large weapon that required both hands to hold from the space equipment assigned to him.

Turn on the energy supply, release the safety, lock the target...

Sizzle－－!

A pitch-black beam of energy shot out from the weapon in Fulgrim's hand, successfully hitting the aggregate that was moving slowly due to the drop in temperature.

A grey rocky luster appeared on the body of the hit aggregate; it was being petrified!

This is a petrified weapon that Zero created a long time ago by collecting tissues from Gorgon and conducting research. It was actually tested a long time ago and achieved good results.

After several adjustments, modifications and retesting, mass production began.

"This thing is good, little brother!" Looking at the gradually petrified aggregate, Fugen said with great satisfaction.

Unlike Fugen's satisfaction, the aggregate with a certain degree of self-thinking was horrified that every cell in its body was gradually turning into lifeless stone. This was something it had never encountered before. Even the Divine Seal that had destroyed several carbon-based civilizations had never seen such a strange weapon.

Moreover, it was not just the cell that turned into stone. Its life energy also disappeared, gradually spreading from the point where it was hit by the light.
