Warhammer 40 A New Hope

"Why do I feel like I'm being stared at by a super two-way plug, an inhuman being that can be either top or bottom and has 72 genders..."

"It's an illusion. It must be my illusion."

Ringworld

Now in this world, the Human Empire already has four controlled star regions and a [Shining World] with complete facilities. It can be regarded as a considerable force in the Ring World region.

The shining world of [Broken Star], which was captured with the efforts of several Primarchs, was not handed over to the management of the Mechanicus as before. This precious, still functioning shining world might not be a big deal in the central star field where planets are clustered, but it is a rare existence here, and naturally it is impossible to give it to those Mechanicus who put their technological creations in the basement waiting to lay eggs.

Previously, under O'Neill's operation, many forging sages who owned powerful forging worlds but were not very obedient had been dealt with. A large number of technological creations hidden by these people were confiscated by O'Neill to contribute to the construction of the new human empire.

But for the natives of the planet [Remnant Star], things were not so good. They used to be able to play freely on this planet, but now everything they had was taken away from them and then redistributed according to their abilities.

Most people have no skills at all. The reason they can have no worries about food and clothing and do whatever they want is largely due to the influence of their ancestors. Now, as the game says, not only can they not do anything, they are also prone to mental breakdown.

Therefore, apart from the powerful and capable people on this planet, most of the people gathered here are sages, forging generals and other technicians from different forging worlds. Their work every day is either to study how the technological creations they have found work, or to search the planet for other precious creations that have not been discovered.

Under O'Neill's personal supervision, they no longer had the previous situation of preferring to let the research results rot in their hands rather than use or share them, because O'Neill ordered that they would only be allowed to research other things after they had thoroughly researched the things in their hands and had obtained results.

This regulation undoubtedly speeds up research significantly, and also prevents the possibility of oil men hiding their results - unless someone is willing to give up the entire forest for a tree.

All kinds of technologies and ideas that had never been heard of before were proposed, and various prototypes were placed in front of O'Neill. It can be said that in this world where there is no need to worry about the influence of Tzeentch, the speed of technological research and development of the Human Empire has reached an unprecedented level.

However, another problem immediately arises: how to turn these ideas into useful creations for the human empire, and how to turn these prototypes into products that can be mass-produced.

Although there are a large number of fully automatic production lines in the [Glittering World], it still takes time to modify these things that were originally used to produce other products to produce what they need. After all, this thing is not the STC module of the Warhammer world, and the STC module can't make these things.

On the other hand, the nobles, wandering traders, or other high-ranking officials of the Empire who were lucky enough to come to the New World to explore and rule, said that they wanted to celebrate the Empire's success in taking over such a precious planet and the Empire's foothold here, and invited all the important figures in the Ring World to attend the Empire's first grand banquet in this world.

The first Space Marines of the [Astral Knights] Chapter to settle in this world, a large group of Mechanicus sages or Forge Generals, and of course Zhang Yi, who has been running around opening portals in recent times, are among them.

However, as the new emperor of the human empire and the spiritual leader of mankind who replaced the original emperor, Zhang Yi actually didn't want to go at all...

. . . . . .

"Emperor of mankind, discoverer, pioneer, savior of the new world..."

Even though there were several servo skulls playing sounds at the same time, when the golden vehicle surrounded by the imperial guards appeared in people's sight, the cheers of the people still drowned out the sound of the servo skulls.

Cheers rang out one after another, a large number of flowers fell from the sky, and cherubim holding scriptures and gold-embroidered silk flew in the air, showing the scriptures in their hands to the world.

Although most people could only see the huge parade vehicle, and those who were a little closer could only see vague human figures on the parade vehicle or a figure wrapped in power armor, these could not stop the fanatical people.

"How exaggerated..."

From another landing field, the RWBY team, the JNPR team and other hunters were getting off the transport plane. Even from a long distance, the cheers of the local people were still very obvious.

"Uncle Zhang Yi is there too, right?" Ruby said, listening to the cheers. "It's hard to imagine his current state..."

"Ruby, is it really okay for you to say this on someone else's planet?" Yang said to his sister who had grown a lot.

"Well... there shouldn't be someone who suddenly appears and calls us heretics or something, right?"

After this period of experience working under the management of the Human Empire, the hunters from the Shubusi world have basically understood this huge interstellar empire. They have also encountered many things that are very common in the Human Empire but incomprehensible to them.

Just as Ruby said, she couldn't imagine how Zhang Yi, who was always so humble in front of them, would behave in such an occasion.

Just as they thought, Zhang Yi, who was wearing power armor and sitting on the parade vehicle, looked like he was in deep thought, which was a very normal look. But in fact... he turned off the external sound reception and was playing games on the computer inside the armor...

Just kidding, Zhang Yi hates this kind of occasions the most. If O'Neill hadn't told him that appropriate appearances would help stabilize and rally the people's hearts, and would also help gain the support of local nobles, he would never attend such occasions - as a person with social phobia, wouldn't this make himself uncomfortable?

There are also the Tree Hunters who originally had an employment relationship with the Human Empire. Most of the nobles of the Empire look down on these "primitives" who have not even escaped from their own planet, but...

When Zhang Yi received the news and hesitated for a long time before finally deciding to go, O'Neill told him that he'd better bring his female companion, otherwise he would have to be prepared to be harassed continuously by ladies from different nobles - although O'Neill was very happy to see this scene.

Sophia, a monster girl who is a percussion girl, is not suitable to come, nor is she suitable to attend any aristocratic banquet (she is very likely to eat the table/she eats trees); Gorgon, who may have a deeper understanding of this aspect, has the attributes of both an alien and a god, and is not very suitable either; Zero, who is now a sage of the Mechanicus, is very suitable, but the research on the Moon World has reached a critical moment and she has no time to come.

I heard that many nobles and high-ranking officials of the empire are very interested in Zhang Yi, the new emperor who can move and run and has emotions. The previous emperor was just a pile of bones, fixed on the golden throne and unable to move. It is better to say that he is a statue of god than a person, the sustenance and symbol of the human spirit.

But things are different now. The current human emperor is a living person. If you can get close to him, you will be a royal relative!

It is said that some nobles even went so far as to undergo a sex change operation in order to achieve this goal - Zhang Yi felt a chill down his spine when he heard this.

In this situation, Zhang Yi used his power to invite the hunters from Shubusi, mainly Ruby and others, who were opening up new land for the empire.

"The old man said he would also appear, but he seemed to be able to use his psychic powers to conceal himself, so that he could watch the show from the sidelines and enjoy the food or something... Damn this socially phobic old man..." Zhang Yi muttered. "Just watching the fun from the sidelines, right..."

"I will definitely shave your hair when I get the chance."

World of Warhammer

(BGM: Awake/Auntie, please press on me~)

The three imperial guards who didn't like to wear armor and only wore helmets and shorts, with glowing muscles, were now maintaining a very strange posture, looking at Wu Mo who was knocked to the ground by them again.

"Oh~ Esdeath~ I have to admit that this new emperor's subordinate is indeed quite capable~"

"Of course, Kaz~ He is a warrior created by our Lord using a lot of rare technology. He is a counterpart to our Imperial Guards, but it is obvious that he is still very immature and needs a lot of training~"

"My muscles are glowing~My muscles are trembling~"

Wu Mo, who was knocked to the ground, looked at the three brothers Gui under the Moon who were gradually approaching him, and he involuntarily stepped back until he was stuck to the wall, but they were still approaching.

"We have obtained the permission of your Chapter Master. If you fail to meet the training requirements, we can oil your strong muscles." The Guardsman named Esdeath said. "I really hope you can't meet the training goals, little guy."

"...you are only here to train me and punish me, not to have sex with me...right?"

"Oh, my dear junior, of course." The guard named Kaz responded. "I admit that our appearance and posture are very similar to the gays in human history, but we are not. We are also loyal warriors under the Emperor."

"But I guess applying oil to your muscles to make them shiny and further instructing you on how to use them can't be called gay, it's just friendly guidance from a senior~"

"You still have a chance to stand up and try again, or we'll have to oil your muscles."

"Muscles ~ Glowing and firm muscles ~"

At the gate of the training ground, several peeking Pathfinder Space Marines looked at Wu Mo being repeatedly ravaged, and they couldn't help but break out in cold sweats and swallowed a few times.

"I didn't believe it before, but now I do..."

"Don't piss off our Chapter Master, he's really petty..."

623. Some people are getting beaten, some are picking up girls, or four of them (Part )

The Dark Eldar crisis in the newly developed star zones has ended. The human empire made a series of preparations and carried out a series of actions, but they were of little use, and the Dark Eldar just disappeared.

But the experience of the Dark Eldar is not good news. You know, the Slaanesh demons are more troublesome than these people.

The current situation is that it is still unknown whether Slaanesh's actions this time are aimed only at the surviving Dark Eldar, or if it has other intentions. Although Slaanesh is not as cunning as Tzeentch, and sometimes he can even deceive himself, there are also cases where Slaanesh does something big.

The newly developed star zone is an attempt by the Human Empire. It is far away from the Solar Star Region, which was the original center of the Empire, and also far away from Macragge, which is the current center of the Empire. In other words, if Slaanesh's plan is very extensive this time, then more support needs to be called for now, otherwise it will be too late when the enemy really attacks.

Bananak and the others were caught in the same problem again. Just like they didn't know where the Dark Eldar were and what they wanted to do at the beginning, now they didn't know where Slaanesh was and what he wanted to do.

Moreover, this time they could not take the initiative to attack or search like before. The Slaanesh Daemons were different from the Dark Eldar. A few troops going there would not only die, but also provide reinforcements or even worse.

In this situation, Bananak summoned many high-ranking military officers, the chapter masters of the Pathfinders and the Eldar warlords, hoping to discuss a feasible plan.

His officers came up with a more conservative plan: continue to consolidate the defenses of several planets in their hands, wait for the enemy's attack, withstand the attack and then annihilate it.

This method is indeed very safe, and the war will be fought on your own territory, with geographical and positional advantages. But the problems are also very obvious: you don't know when the enemy will come, and you don't know whether you can really withstand the enemy's attack. And even if you can withstand it, the corruption and pollution of Slaanesh is also a problem - there are many cases where you have defeated the demons but had to carry out large-scale population cleansing or even burning of the entire planet because of the corruption of Chaos.

The Eldar warrior Simatilda proposed a rather pessimistic idea. She asked Bananak to abandon the newly developed star zone with great difficulty and retreat to nearby areas controlled by other empires.

After all, the current situation is very clear. Although the development of the newly developed star zone is very good, there are still many shortcomings. As for Slaanesh, they are fully capable of swallowing up such a newly developed human star zone. Instead of taking risks, it is better to give up here when the sunk cost is not too great.

Naturally, this idea was opposed by most of the people present: they were not the Ark Eldar, and all their belongings were on a huge movable ship. Not to mention the issue of whether to move or not, even if they had to move, the time, energy and manpower required would be extremely huge. It was hard to say whether they would encounter other problems when they left, not to mention that neither the Human Empire nor Bananak would give up their territory.

Just when the discussion was about to reach a conclusion, the Chapter Master of the Pathfinders, who had been silent, put forward his idea.

"We can take the initiative to find the Slaanesh troops that may be in the newly developed star zone." Kell said. "In fact, we don't even need to take the initiative to find them..."

"If we reveal our presence, Slaanesh will come."

The Pathfinders are different from other Space Marine chapters or legions. They are more like the Death Watch. They will absorb Space Marines or troops that meet the requirements into the chapter, including friendly sub-humans or aliens from this world or other worlds.

For this reason, not many people from outside actively join the Pathfinders. After all, not everyone can tolerate living with a group of "super otakus", not to mention that to join the Pathfinders one needs to pass a series of rigorous tests.

All the first batch of [Pathfinder] Space Marines were bred using Zhang Yi's DNA, inheriting his resistance to the supernatural and his soulless characteristics (and of course his otaku characteristics), so they are the nemesis of all supernatural beings. As a result, they are also watched by the Four Gods, and they are also desired by the Four Gods!

However, due to the unpredictability of the Pathfinders themselves and their frequent absence from this world, the Four Gods could not find a chance to attack them, and now...

If the news that the Pathfinder is here spreads in this star region, what will happen to the Slaanesh forces, which are already poorly organized?

"This is a good idea, but..." said the Rogue Trader Bananak. "This may also aggravate the problem..."

"It is very likely that there will be more than one faction of Chaos Demons appearing here at that time."

"Now that the four gods' bodies have been sealed, the power of the demons and Chaos believers has been weakened to the greatest extent. As long as the scope of spread is controlled, the problem will not expand, and..."

"It's not like we don't have a backup plan." Cole said. "A certain demon slayer has been a bit idle lately."

Ringworld

Although the human empire is always said to be doomed in terms of sustainability, this is not visible on the surface and middle layers of most planets.

High towers pierce the sky, various means of transportation travel in the air, and people on the streets are dressed in clothes that represent the rich or noble.

If we ignore the lower and bottom classes, the upper and middle classes do live quite well in the Human Empire, without any sign of decline.

This is also what everyone from the Shubusi world saw. Before, they did not have the opportunity to leave the airport and come here, and they did not know much about the Human Empire. Now they realize how glorious the so-called Human Empire is (at least on the surface).

"Then the statue is made entirely of gold?" Ruby pointed at the huge human-shaped statue not far away and asked. "Is such a big one made entirely of gold?"

“Unbelievable…”

Gold is nothing to the human empire that has entered the interstellar age. You should know that the Terra Palace is made of shining gold, and the entire Himalayas are made of it.

Not far away, there is a tall tower reaching into the universe. It is another airport, and there are many other tall towers like this one.

"I remember they have only occupied this planet not long ago? In such a short time they can..." Ruby gestured at the buildings in front of them in the air. From what they had seen and heard, it was a little unbelievable that a city of this scale could be built so quickly.

This is not a difficult task for the Human Empire. After acquiring so many new technological creations, the construction level has risen sharply. Coupled with a large number of ordinary people who want to come, the construction has been carried out in three shifts without stopping. This is considered relatively slow.

The banquet was held at the manor house of the local planet's governor, a huge structure that stood out from the crowd at the top of the planet and was located in the planet's high-altitude orbit.

This mansion uses the latest deep space living technology. A huge double-layer semicircular dome covers the building, allowing residents to directly see the beauty of space and planets. Outsiders can also see this peculiar building at the first sight - this is also the reason why the construction of this planet is a bit slow. The workers and mechanical priests have spent a lot of time on this.

The poor will die poorer, and the rich will die richer. Generally speaking, on a planet with such luxurious mansions, the lower-class residents are unlikely to have a good life. However, since the empire is now in its development stage, that kind of situation has not occurred here. After all, there is a whole world waiting to be explored and constructed.

The members of the RWBY team and the JNPR team took the giant elevator to the mansion and saw several familiar figures as soon as they went out.

"Uncle O'Neill?"

"Hey guys, girls and boys," O'Neill said to the people in front of him with a retired old man's tone. "You guys are on time."

"So you are also a big shot?"

"That was in the past. I'm retired now." O'Neal smiled as if he were in the spring breeze. It must be said that since he got off that damn toilet and was in a rotten state for a while, his spirit is very good, just like when he was doing whatever he wanted on Terra.

"..." The imperial guards on the side remained silent. Although the emperor said that he had retired, he had been very busy in recent times. Their world did not allow the greatest existence in human history to really put everything aside and enjoy life.

"This banquet has a special area for people who don't like elegant socializing to gather." O'Neill said to Kro and others. "If you don't want to attend, you can go there."

"As for those who want to go, come with me. You have to dress brightly for this kind of occasion!"

624. O’Neill: just do it!

"Are you really confident that the big guy can take those young people away?" asked an old hunter who followed Kro.

"If you're worried, you can come with us to attend this celebration party." Kro said as he poured the last sip of wine into his mouth.

"You want me to brag to a bunch of upper-class people I don't know? I might as well go to the tavern they arranged for us to have a drink." The old hunter responded. "But are you really not worried?"

"Look at this planet, the ships that are coming and going and docking overhead, and the soldiers everywhere," said Crowe. "For us, losing a city was unacceptable, but for them, burning planet after planet into wasteland was not unacceptable, and they seemed to do it often."

"I now think that James's plan and resistance are simply stupid. We have worked for them for so long, and we have not even seen one ten-thousandth of their territory, let alone the Necrons that the human empire has to be wary of."

"And you should have heard that if that guy hadn't invited us, we wouldn't have had the chance to attend this banquet. Those 'upper class' people are so judgmental."

"You still care about this?"

"The point is not the banquet and the invitation, but 'that kid'." Kro said. "I don't know why he, who is in such a high position, cares so much about us, but... now it seems that this may be a good thing."

"At least we have someone to talk to when we need it."

"So you really plan to send your daughter over there?"
