Warhammer 40 A New Hope

At this time, Fulgrim and Ryan ran out from behind Vulkan almost the moment he stopped, and rushed to the other Prometheus Knights before the Forerunner automatic turret in front of them completed the adjustment and turning.

The observers caught this and immediately tried to build more defensive facilities, but this action was interrupted by Sanguinius falling from the sky, making the already scarce observers in this space even more "endangered".

Bang--!

Ryan grabbed a knight with one hand and smashed it to the ground. Another knight drew his light blade and tried to rescue him, but was stopped by Fulgrim.

Ding! Ding ding ding--!

Suddenly, there was the sound of metal falling to the ground, and several photon grenades were thrown between the two Primarchs. Their superhuman perception and reaction abilities allowed them to respond immediately - they threw the enemies in front of them almost at the same time, and then immediately moved away.

Buzz－－!

The ionosphere generated by the explosion of the photon grenade almost instantly decomposed the two knights thrown over, and at the same time decomposed a semicircular pit on the ground.

Now, there are only three knights left surrounding the True Missionary, and it seems that he is at the end of his rope.

[Special space resolution: 21.8%]

[Weak point confirmed, target found]

Contrary to his usual behavior, the True Missionary, who had been on the defensive, waved his hand, and the only three remaining knights rushed towards Fulgrim, Ryan and Sanguinius in the air respectively.

The three Primarchs responded immediately, but then they discovered that the three remaining knights were not flying towards them, but rather crashing into them.

Almost at the same time, the weapons in the hands of the three Primarchs pierced through the bodies of the attacking enemies. The opponent's technologically advanced body trembled and flashed for a moment, then suddenly exploded.

The sudden explosion made it impossible for the Primarch to intercept the Didact even though he was slow to react. The true Didact took advantage of this opportunity and passed through the three of them at the fastest speed and came in front of Vulkan.

The warhammer with the dragon pattern was swung out with a gust of air, and was about to hit the flying True Missionary. Vulkan could even feel the touch of hitting the target. However, in the next moment, this heavy hammer went straight through the True Missionary's body, and the gust of air it created created an obvious dent in the metal plate in the same direction.

"Phase travel?!"

Obviously, the awakened True Missionary could also use the phase travel used by the Prometheus Knights, and in order to bypass Vulcan, he specifically started it only after making sure that the opponent was unable to reduce his force and change lanes. Even though the slightest mistake would result in his death on the spot, he succeeded.

The True Missionary, who successfully used phase travel to bypass Vulkan, continued to maintain his previous speed, flying towards an open space while throwing all the photon grenades he was carrying to the rear to intercept the enemies behind him.

Buzz－－!

The photon grenade successfully delayed the pursuers, and when he reached the position, the True Missionary violently swung his right arm in front of him.

Snap--!

The sound of something shattering suddenly came from the empty place, and an obvious crack appeared out of nowhere. Then, as if a switch was turned on, the [Mirror Space] covering the entire prison area began to be lifted.

"I... TM..." Zhang Yi, who was caught by the neck by the True Missionary, appeared in front of everyone and said with some difficulty breathing. "You can catch this for me?"

"I have to admit that these little tricks of yours did make it difficult for me to handle them for a while, but... that's all!" The True Missionary said as he looked at the ancient humans in front of him. "Tens of thousands of years ago, the army of the Forerunners defeated the ancient humans, and it will be no exception now!"

The armor on the left waist of the True Missionary who was holding Zhang Yi had obvious signs of breaking, and his system was also reminding him that his body was damaged. It was obvious that his previous risky move was not completely without cost - he was almost killed by Vulcan in one blow.

But now it seems that his choice was correct and he successfully grasped the enemy's lifeline.

"You can let these minions of yours keep attacking, but I can break your necks before they can get to me and take my head off! Weaklings who only hide behind safety!"

"Your ancestors were better fighters than you!"

This sudden situation also shocked the four Primarchs. They knew that the Forerunners might be able to break Zhang Yi's immature [Mirror Space], and they had made a lot of preparations for it, but they did not expect it to unfold like this!

After returning to the real world, the True Missionary began to try to call the awakened mechanical soldiers of the Prometheus Legion, but the sound of fighting outside made him realize that it was impossible to gather enough troops to escort him away in a short time. The ancient humans were launching a full-scale offensive, and most of the Prometheus mechanical soldiers were fighting back.

After confirming this, the True Missionary looked at Zhang Yi in his hand.

"Ancient human, stop your army's attack and I can let you go." The True Missionary said. "You can also choose to die here with me!"

"You... why should I listen to you? The forerunners are long gone!"

"For so many years, have you ancient humans only been stubborn?" The True Missionary did not lose his composure because of Zhang Yi's words. He just silently increased the strength of his grip on Zhang Yi. "At the beginning, I should have completely exterminated you!"

"If the ancient humans hadn't devoted a lot of energy to dealing with the flood, how could you have defeated them?" Zhang Yi responded. "And I know clearly that even if you have the advantage, your attack is not smooth, so that the forerunners have to use special tactics to attack the ancient human fleet."

"So what?! The victors take it all! The Forerunners won! And you are just a weak species that should have been exterminated!"

"Weak?"

"The powerful forerunners and pioneers you mentioned are no longer in the Milky Way, but the weak humans have survived to the end and are now thriving in a brand new Milky Way, discovering everything that once was."

"If the humans you're talking about are weak, then what are the nearly extinct forerunners? Trash?"

"you!"

The True Missionary, who was somewhat angry because of Zhang Yi's words, suddenly discovered that the strength of Zhang Yi's left hand holding his hand was gradually increasing, and an unknown red mark on it was emitting a bright red light.

"Also, why do you think I'm the weakest?"

567. Star Alliance: I just want to cause trouble!

The mark representing Khorne emitted a scarlet light, and a red line extended from the mark all the way upwards to his left eye, turning the entire left pupil into a fiery red.

Feeling the force holding his arm gradually growing stronger, the True Missionary activated the electric shock, trying to regain control of the "hostage" in his hand.

Bright electric current appeared on Zhang Yi, and his body began to tremble noticeably. But soon, in the current that was enough to stun an elephant, Zhang Yi slowly looked at the true missionary in front of him, and the red lines on his face became more obvious.

"That's it?"

The mark representing Nurgle lit up at this time, and obvious cracks appeared on the power armor covering Zhang Yi's arms. Then the armor on both arms was shattered from the inside. Two bloody giant hands that were completely inconsistent with Zhang Yi's body size appeared and smashed towards the True Missionary who was holding him.

(Double winds pierce my ears!)

Bang--!

Unexpectedly, this was another unexpected thing for the True Missionary, from Zhang Yi trapping him in a separate space with his own strength, to Vulkan's hammer that could move by itself, to Zhang Yi's sudden change now, there have been too many unexpected situations in this battle, and this kind of thing happens almost any time in the Warhammer world.

Which is stronger, flesh or metal? In the eyes of the True Missionaries, the flesh of most creatures cannot compare with cold weapons and warships - even the Flood does not rely entirely on physical strength, they will also learn the technological creations of the creatures they infect and use them for their own benefit (infecting warships and letting them fly).

But the scene now shocked his understanding once again. The attack from the two giant hands caused his personal energy shield to be instantly overloaded, and the armor on his head was subsequently shattered. The huge impact made him fall into a trance - his armor played almost no protective role in this sudden attack.

Zhang Yi's attack did not stop. He grabbed the True Missionary's head with his bloody arm and slammed him to the ground. Then he lifted him up, slammed him down again, and repeated the action.

"You! Need! A! Good! Apologize! Asshole!"

Whoosh—bang!

Not feeling satisfied, Zhang Yi grabbed the True Missionary's neck and started smashing the ground left and right (like the Hulk smashing Loki). After creating pits on the ground, he threw the True Missionary, who had fallen into a coma, out, and Vulkan, who was standing on the other side, caught him.

Then Zhang Yi stood in the original body and began to take deep breaths.

"Calm down, calm down, calm down. Think of something peaceful. If that doesn't work, think of something colorful..."

Under the gaze of the four Primarchs, the two muscular bloody arms that were extremely similar to the [Bloodthirsty Demon] gradually disappeared, and Zhang Yi's hands returned to normal.

"Is he still alive?"

"Half dead, but alive," Vulkan replied. "How do you feel?"

"It's not a big problem...for now..."

"I need to rest and do something unexpected with the fight."

"The rest of Requiem's ​​problems are left to you."

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

The subspace surprise from the 40K world taught the arrogant True Missionary a lesson.

To be honest, the Warhammer world has no advantage just relying on technology, but if various things in the warp are taken into account, then the advantage becomes obvious.

The Warp is the main reason why the entire Warhammer world has become a piece of shit, but we have to admit that it is also because of its existence that the level of the Warhammer world has been raised a lot.

It can do what science and technology can do, and it can also do what science and technology cannot do, and its main feature is outrageous.

Although there are some things that the Warp cannot do (for example, without adding anything, making other things grow out of an absolutely sealed distilled water container, which even Nurgle cannot do), it can do a lot of things. Many races in Warhammer are powerful because of the existence of the Warp.

The True Didact was defeated. Although he was seriously injured by Zhang Yi's beating, he was still alive. The only known Forerunner is still alive. He is now imprisoned. The Human Empire and the Necrons will do everything they can to get what they want from him.

The defeat of the main commander caused the Prometheus Legion on Requiem to return to its previous state, and with the addition of the Necrons, their field advantage was gradually disappearing. It was only a matter of time before the entire Requiem was lost.

Yes, time. Even though the human empire has gained an absolute advantage on Requiem, it still needs time. This is the same everywhere.

In the Flickering World that was captured by the Ring World, it would take time to stabilize and absorb the technology of the Truth. In the Halo World, it would take time to find a way to control the entire Requiem from the True Didact.

The Human Empire temporarily postponed sending more troops to the two alien worlds, and also slowed down its conquests in these two worlds, focusing on digesting and absorbing what has been acquired.

The natives of Ringworld and Halo world thus gained a brief period of stability. The residents of Ringworld continued to play "a thousand ideologies" on their own planet, while the humans of Halo world focused more on strengthening the defense line and excavating the Forerunner ruins.

This was also a rare period of rest for the Human Empire, but not long after, bad news came.

The stubborn forces of the Star Alliance found the 05 ring

． ． ． The beginning of the year 2553 in the Halo world ． ． ．

"Fuck your old bacon..."

Zhang Yi, with a haggard face, lay on the conference table and muttered.

"Do you really want me to have more..."

Let me briefly talk about what Zhang Yi has experienced in the past few months: after using the power of Khorne, he needed to use the power of other gods to offset it, and O'Neill obviously still (always) had a lot of complaints about his XP, so he directly called him to the Rimworld, saying that he wanted to help him, and then...

He successfully used willpower to maintain his image as a good uncle in front of Ruby and others, and did not use the "magic skill" of "walking with a crane" - it is said that some imperial guards can really do it, and they can even use the crane to open the bottle cap.

(O'Neill: Bah! Shameful beast girl control!)

"Let me lie down for five minutes, and then I'll tell you what the bad news is."

"...The Prophets of the Covenant have found the 05 ring that was infected by the Flood."

After hearing the news, Zhang Yi, who was lying on the table, was silent for a while, and then...

"Didn't I tell you to tell me in five minutes?!"

"You will have to face this problem sooner or later, Your Majesty." The Space Marine who was reporting the situation seemed to have long been accustomed to Zhang Yi's occasional "attacks." "The two Primarchs, Magnus and Vulkan, have already gone to the target location to assess the situation."

"So what's the situation there now?"

"It's still under control for now."

The emergence of the Human Empire and the intelligence they spread have completely split the once relatively united Covenant, and the San'Shyum and Sangheili have also completely broken off.

As the prophets of the San'Shyum people who were originally the ruling class of the Covenant, they naturally would not watch the Covenant collapse in their hands. Out of truth, sorrow and pity for being dragged down, they decided to complete the so-called pilgrimage and ascension at all costs. As long as they can complete the pilgrimage they mentioned, then everything will be settled, whether good or bad.

To this end, they even weakened the defense fleet of the City of High Charity and frantically searched for various Forerunner relics in the hope of finding their pilgrimage target. At the same time, they did not stop their extermination of UNSC humans, but changed from a large-scale extermination campaign to a lightning-fast precision killing.

It was also for this reason that, in order to reduce defensive pressure, the UNSC humans took the initiative to find a group of Sangheili who had broken with the Covenant, hoping to form an alliance with them.

Although they think so, compared to the weak UNSC human government, the Sangheili are more willing to negotiate with the Human Empire, but the Human Empire does not want to pay attention to them - considering what you have done before, not ordering you to be exterminated is really a special favor.

To sum up, Zhang Yi was the only one who could negotiate with the Sangheilis. According to the principles of the Human Empire and what the Sangheilis had done before, the demands he put forward were very harsh. Most of the Sangheilis were angry and said that they would fight if they wanted, and they would definitely not be afraid of you.

However, there are still a few who realize that their previous actions were within the lies woven by the Prophet and had brought harm to humanity. This is a shame for the Sangheilis who value honor, so they accepted the harsh demands, compensated the UNSC humans, and shared the Forerunner relics they found in their hands. When the UNSC people received the compensation and alliance agreement from the Sangheilis, they were completely stunned.

Just when they obtained the exact location of the City of High Charity and were preparing to assassinate the three prophets, a bad news came - the prophets and their men found the 05 ring.

As fate would have it, the prophets, who had completely given up on everything, still found the big guy in this ring this year, this ring infected by the Flood.

The Sangheili fleet opposing the Prophet and the San'Shyuum's vanguard fleet engaged in a fierce exchange of fire near the 05 ring, and the two sides later spread the war to the surface of the 05 ring.

The news was soon known to the three San'Shyuum prophets in the City of High Charity. They did the same thing as in the original plot - they moved the entire City of High Charity to the vicinity of Ring 05.

The appearance of [City of High Charity] and the subsequent fleet forced the Sangheili fleet that discovered this place to retreat temporarily, which also allowed the Prophets to land on the 05 ring on a larger scale.

Now that the Covenant has been split, the Prophets of San'Shyuum, who have been immersed in their own lies and unable to extricate themselves, have become desperate. They are eager to prove that they are right, and they are eager to activate the ring and complete the pilgrimage.

But they didn't know that something was waiting for them on the 05 ring.

568. Mercy for the Prophet is not mercy

'This is a one-way ticket.' The Prophet of Mercy - Hod Lunt knew this. After he heard the truth from the 'Messenger of God' and knew that humans were the successors of the Forerunner ruins, and accepted the advice (and threats) of the Prophet of Truth and the Prophet of Sorrow and successfully became the leader of the Covenant, he knew that he would live with this lie forever.

Humanity must be destroyed, and the pilgrimage must go on. The Covenant, a huge organization built on lies, will eventually fall apart because of lies.

He knew this, but he didn't expect that this day would come so soon.

He didn't know where that human empire came from, nor did he know why they knew so many secrets.

And according to the intelligence collected later, they seemed to know everything about the Forerunners worshipped by the Star Alliance - this was not a good sign, because it was because of the words of the "Messenger of God" that they started to exterminate humans.

The huge 05 ring was discovered, and the Star Alliance they ruled fell into madness, for the miracle that was so close, for their so-called pilgrimage, but... this was also the final madness.

Regardless of everything, leaving no way out, using any means necessary...

After the [City of High Charity] jumped to the vicinity of the 05 ring, the [Prophet of Truth] and the [Prophet of Sorrow] had already gone to the ring with a large fleet, while the [Prophet of Mercy] was responsible for staying in the [City of High Charity] and providing assistance to the two prophets when necessary.

However, just as the [Prophet of Mercy] was waiting for the outcome of everything in the [City of High Charity], a Sangheili warrior suddenly ran in in a panic.
