Warhammer 40 A New Hope
Page 432
But even so, with his power greatly increased, Vashtor still kept a low profile. Except for a confrontation with the dwarf god because of Perturabo, he stayed in his own area most of the time, quietly doing his own things.
At this moment, this lesser Chaos God was patrolling his own domain, watching every blast furnace, every blood-stained machine tool, and those busy demons and Chaos Dwarves.
Everything seemed to be fine, hot liquid metal poured out, and a large number of sophisticated weapons flowed out along the assembly line. The Chaos Dwarves and Demons acting as overseers whipped their whips to make their subordinates work faster.
but...
Vashtor looked at the piles of weapons and the different vehicles next to them, and felt...
Overall feeling
I felt like my house had been robbed...
639. Tzeentch is looking for victims
Vashtor is known as "the Creator," a demonic demigod of inventor, engineer, scientist, and craftsman.
In some ways, Vashtor's authority overlaps with Tzeentch's, but he is not like Tzeentch, who has ten thousand traps in every sentence. Although he will deceive others, he pays attention to contracts and will definitely execute what is written in the contract.
This demon demigod has always kept a low profile. Even though many demon engines or Chaos weapons and vehicles may have been made by him, few people in the real world know of his existence, and he has always maintained a low-key style of doing things.
As mentioned before, because of the appearance of Zhang Yi and the sealing of the four gods' bodies, Vashtor's power has been greatly enhanced, which has also made this demigod demon receive more attention - this is not a good thing.
Checking the manufactured weapons and vehicles again, there was an obvious problem with the quantity, and the Chaos Dwarf in charge of managing these things couldn't explain why - he seemed to have lost part of his memory.
It was almost certain that someone else had entered his territory and stolen his things, but... why hadn't he discovered it?
Although his domain is not the same as the four sub-space evil gods, it shouldn't be that others have come in and stolen a lot of things. He hasn't noticed it yet, right? He is not stupid.
"No, I broke in through the door..." Vashtor muttered. "There is a passage I don't know about..."
"From another world... [Soul Forge] (Soul Furnace)?"
Vashtor came to the docking area and looked at the place where a new Ominous Ark was supposed to be parked, but it was now empty.
"...you guys are going too far!"
. . . . . .
Warp, Realm of Tzeentch - Crystal Labyrinth
The changeling regained its ethereal appearance like a cloak and floated in mid-air.
"My dear master, I have completed the task you gave me~" the changeling said to Tzeentch Yinglingtas who was throwing another Tau into his portal. "But I think Vashtol should have noticed that something was missing."
"For a short time, we won't be able to take anything from his territory again."
"That's enough." Tas replied, listening to the burning sound and the sound of violent friction with the atmosphere coming from the portal. "Next, do you know what to do?"
"Yes, my master."
The changeling bowed to Tas, and when he stood up, he had transformed into Vashtor.
"Some people only want to 'farm' and don't want to 'be famous', this is not acceptable~"
"We need to let him get out more often to breathe."

"kindness..."
On the Halo world, another parasite infected by the Flood was burned to ashes, which also meant that the 74th experiment of the Mechanicus had failed.
"Your efficiency in cleaning up the infected body is getting faster and faster..." Zhang Yi said as he looked at the infected body that was burned to ashes. "But the separation experiment is not going well at all..."
The experiment of replicating the Yama Blade was roughly divided into four stages: 1. Separating an existence that was not originally a whole; 2. Separating an existence that became a whole due to some reasons; 3. Separating an existence that was originally a whole at an ordinary level; 4. Separating an existence that was originally a whole at least at the original level.
The current experiment is still stuck in the first stage. The Mechanicus has manufactured many so-called "separators", but they are only "separations" on the physical level and have not achieved what was expected.
At this time, a group of dwarves came to the testing site with a hammer and started the 75th experiment.
A new Flood infected body was placed in the test site. This was a Sangheili who was infected and controlled by Flood spores. After being released from stasis, he let out a low growl and staggered forward.
A few seconds later, the warhammer with several dwarven runes appeared and smashed into the Flood-infected creature, knocking it to the ground.
The Flood infected body that was knocked to the ground did not move for a long time, as if it had been killed directly by this blow. The members of the Mechanicus who were watching the experiment began to whisper.
Just when Zhang Yi thought that the dwarf's separation experiment had also failed, the Flood infected body that was knocked to the ground suddenly let out a sharp scream. Then, under the gaze of everyone, the part of the Flood infected body that was infected and mutated by the Flood spores began to separate spontaneously, and the sound of flesh being torn rang out in the test site.
The entire separation process took about tens of seconds, and everyone could clearly see the red and green infected part that was torn off automatically and the other part that was relatively normal flesh and blood.
After the separation process was over, a fairly recognizable Sangheili corpse appeared on the floor, next to it was a pile of squirming Flood-infected tissue. It was obvious that although it was still alive, it was no longer able to function normally at this stage, and with its limited thinking ability, it was unable to understand what was going on.
"It was separated successfully, but the infected host still died." Zhang Yi said as he looked at the mutilated body of the Sangheili and the group of Flood infected tissues that were still trying to get back in.
Just like the Flood, beings infected by the Flood will die when they are fully infected, and this infection is irreversible."
The dwarves on the other side cheered at this time and began to loudly mock the people of the Mechanicus, saying that they were "useless and half-human mechanical lumps". If it weren't for the Space Marines stopping them, the Mechanicus here would probably have directly fought with the dwarves present.
In some ways, there are no contradictions between the Mechanicus and the Dwarves. The people of the Mechanicus are proficient in various scientific and technological techniques. The various technologies and large-scale manufacturing capabilities they possess are incomparable and unimaginable to the Dwarves who have just emerged.
The dwarves are good at fine forging and those unimaginable rune creations. Although they also study the Warp and various metaphysical existences, they are still no match for the dwarves who have mature and safe runes - not to mention that they have not figured out the fact that the Emperor appears on the battlefield from time to time.
Yes, at the request of the Emperor, the two did begin to try to coexist peacefully, and those oil-guys were gradually letting go of their own bad habits (those who were unwilling to let go were dealt with), but... How much time will it take?
[Ultramarines] The Space Marines once again pulled away the irritable members of the Mechanicus who were clamoring to fight with the dwarves. Seeing this, Zhang Yi couldn't help but have a headache.
"Look at the bright side, at least it's better than before..."
. . . . . .
Under the influence of Tzeentch, the Dark God, one of the twin gods who created the world of Shubuzi, launched an attack on the world of Shubuzi and destroyed a major city. At least tens of thousands of people died as a result of his attack.
Although the [Silent King] Shalek, the leader of the Necron, temporarily calmed the anger of his subordinates with the information about Yuan Qi and the subsequent compensation plan obtained from the blacksmith, there are still a considerable number of Necron Overlords and Popes who are angry about this and demand that the other party pay the price.
Some of the high-ranking Necrons who did not obtain souls were angry because they felt sorry for the disappearance of tens of thousands of humans - they had not yet obtained souls! And those were precious materials that could allow them to obtain souls!
Another part of the high-ranking Necrons who got the souls hoped to have a satisfying battle after regaining their souls, feelings, and emotions, which were not there before, especially against such a half-baked god.
The last part was purely out of the desire to drag these two alien gods onto the operating table, in order to see what the difference was between these two gods and the star gods they had faced before.
[King of Silence] Shalet successfully appeased all his subordinates who had different thoughts and transferred their anger to another being.

640. Forced 'reception'
If you were to rank the many monsters in the Warhammer world, it would be difficult to come up with a suitable order, because each race can become very strong under certain conditions, but if those conditions are not met, they may not even be able to beat the Titanium.
The Tyranids have the most outrageous numbers. Judging from a sample map of the Milky Way that Zhang Yi knows, the number of Tyranids that have arrived in the Milky Way is already on a terrifying scale. If they all arrive, the number may be enough to overwhelm the entire Milky Way.
The Orks have the most outrageous and unstable combat power. They are a race that becomes stronger the more they fight. As long as they can keep fighting, winning and surviving, the Orks will become stronger and stronger, and the technology they can use will become more and more outrageous. Based on the appearance and body shape of the two ancient orcs in the Tarazin Collection, as well as the orc that the Emperor encountered, it is speculated that the power of the ancient orcs is at least at the Primarch level!
If we talk about who is the ceiling of the real universe and physics, it is undoubtedly the Necrons. As the beings who were once the living beings of the rules of the real universe - under the command of the Star God, the technology they possess is second to none (except the most outrageous Orcs).
With a large enough Warp rift, or simply being in the Warp, the Warp Gods can do all kinds of outrageous things and reverse the course of the war (for better or worse) in ways that most people can't even imagine.
Now, Tzeentch, as a playboy, influenced the actions of the Dark God, which caused the death of at least tens of thousands of humans in the Shubusi world, and thus caused the already insufficient distribution of [vitality] to become even scarcer.
Therefore, Shalek, the Silent King and current leader of the vast majority of the Necrons, decided to order the extermination of all known Tzeentch presences as a retaliation.
At least dozens of Necron dynasties responded to the Silent King's call at the first opportunity. Groups of Necron fleets appeared in the galaxy and began to hunt down any Tzeentch factions.
This situation also affected the Human Empire. After all, the Chaos faction loves to mess with humans.
Many Necrons fleets appeared on the more remote planets within the human empire. As human allies, they provided "free" inspections and cleanups of the lower levels of hive cities, where Chaos is most likely to breed. I don't think any human governor would refuse, right?
This led to the following situation: some Chaos believers who were quietly causing trouble on the human planet were suddenly hit on the door by a bunch of green-glowing metal ribs, with the local PDF applauding behind them.
Finally, a large group of people gathered
The bishops of the believers were eager to start a rebellion and drive out those pig nobles, but when they really started to act, the first thing they encountered was not the nobles' private soldiers or the local PDF, but a group of metal skeletons.
A small warband that believed in Tzeentch was planning on how to cause trouble for the Human Empire in their own ship, when suddenly they heard a sharp alarm, and when they ran to the bridge to take a look, the crescent-shaped ship of the Undead appeared in front of them, and the next second green lightning struck.
There are many similar situations. Although the Necrons' target is the Tzeentch faction in Chaos, now it is not only the believers of this faction who are in trouble in the territory of the Human Empire. Even some thieves lurking on human planets have been dug out.
This caused some misunderstanding and panic at first. After all, most Necrons were still scary in appearance, and the entire human empire was still in extreme hatred of aliens. Some hot-tempered members of the state religion, inquisitors, or planetary governors directly fired at the suddenly appearing Necron fleet, and the other side naturally would not stop there to take a beating.
In response to this situation, Guilliman, the current Chancellor of the Empire, convened an emergency meeting, discussed with the representatives of the Necrons who had come, and explained the current situation to the top leaders of the Empire. After some "friendly" consultations, he signed a handwritten document with the seals of the current Emperor of Mankind and the Silent King of the Necrons, which was then urgently sent to the planet targeted by the Necrons to prevent the situation from further deteriorating.
However, considering the empire's existing territory, hyperbeam means, and the basically unchanged, insane attitude toward alien races on various planets, it is questionable whether they can arrive in time and whether they can be effective even if they arrive.
The Necrons do not have this problem. Most of them are just highly intelligent machines. They can clearly know that this is the intention of the [Silent King]. Most of the dynasty's emperors will also faithfully execute this order.
The human empire still has a long way to go...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Outside the Empire, on a Necron Tomb World
This is a little-known Necron dynasty. Although it is affiliated with a famous Necron dynasty, as long as the Pope of this dynasty is willing, it is entirely feasible to mobilize a powerful Necron force when needed. Even if it does not mobilize people, the troops and armaments possessed by this dynasty are sufficient to deal with ordinary enemies.
But this time, the enemy that attacked was not ordinary...
A huge ship, a unique [Evil Omen Ark] led a large number of Chaos ships and attacked this Necron Tomb World in completely abnormal numbers and for unknown reasons.
With fanatical slogans and crazy behaviors, a group of cultists with more or less mechanical structures on their bodies took the lead in attacking the first wave of counterattacks of the Necron Dynasty. Most of them were annihilated by the attacking Gauss beams, particle beams or Tesla weapons, but many of them still rushed to the front of the Necron troops and launched an attack on them.
A large number of grenades were thrown into the Necron defense line. The continuous explosions knocked down a group of Necron warriors in the front row. Balls of high-temperature ion spheres fell on the bodies made of living metal, and metal bullets flew everywhere.
Ordinary Necromancers without emotions and self-awareness still attacked the enemies in front of them according to the predetermined procedures to stop their attack on the territory.
However, the Necron Crypt Technician who was responsible for maintaining and repairing the equipment in the rear discovered an unusual situation - the [Resurrection Protocol] was running a little slowly and reporting errors from time to time.
The Cryptids immediately set about dealing with the situation, while on the front line, the Necrons, who had just stabilized their front, were met with a wave of enemies.
【Iron Warriors】
The silver-looking Terrorclaw drop pod fell from orbit and landed directly to the rear of the battlefield. A large number of Necron anti-aircraft weapons opened fire in an attempt to intercept it.
Then, when some of the Dreadclaw drop pods that fell from the sky at high speed were hit by the Necrons' anti-aircraft fire, a layer of black and red light curtain appeared on their surface, blocking the green light beams that hit them.
The flash of defensive shields on the drop pods greatly increased their survivability. Even the Necrons' anti-aircraft firepower could not destroy the drop pod unless it hit the same drop pod twice in a row.
Soon, an Iron Warriors drop pod successfully landed on the ground. Squads of Iron Warriors Space Marines emerged from the drop pod and launched an attack on the surrounding enemies.
The Necron troops in the area immediately launched a siege against these 'uninvited guests'. With their absolute technological advantage, the Necron troops should have been able to suppress these enemies quickly, but...
The actual situation is shocking
The [Iron Warriors] Space Marines, who were scattered in the Necron cities in small teams, broke through the encirclement and reunited at an extremely fast speed, and then headed deeper under the leadership of a dreadnought.
At the same time, the front battlefield also changed at this time. A large number of various demon engines appeared on the battlefield, impacting the defense line of the Necrons with an almost crushing force.
The Bull-Headed Demon Engine, wearing heavy armor and an energy shield, rushed into the Necromancer Immortals with its hot and heavy fists.
It smashed its head towards them, destroying and crushing their metal bodies. At this time, the [Annihilator Barge] in the distance opened fire at it, and the powerful fire hit its body, overloading its energy shield, but the next moment a torrent of hot metal rushed towards the [Annihilator Barge] and submerged it.
Some high-powered fixed-point weapons in this tomb world began to be activated. At the same time, tomb technicians also began to control a large number of underworld beetles to build new positions and temporary fortresses.
When powerful green beams and lightning streaked across the sky, destroying one powerful Demon Engine or Chaos vehicle after another, but before the Necrons' high-ranking officials here could breathe a sigh of relief, those fixed weapons suddenly stopped working.
It sounds unbelievable, but it is true. The Necron machinery, which is known for its stability and strength, actually stopped working at this critical moment!
A tomb technician who tried to deal with this problem connected the faulty weapon. A large amount of [Chaos Waste Code] that had never been seen before flowed into its body, and the next moment it stopped in place.
hold head high--!
The roar of a giant dragon sounded in the sky, and several Necron fighters landed. The scorching flames swept across the ground, igniting it and melting the metal on the ground.
. . . A few hours later . . .
The gigantic Primarch of the Iron Warriors, Perturabo, threw the skull of the Necron Emperor in his hand to the ground and crushed it.
Behind him were the remains of groups of [Coffin Guards] and the tall bodies of [Iron Warriors] Space Marines cut off by phase blades.
Even on Perturabo's heavy power armor, there were many scars and melted and solidified liquid metal. It was obvious that even if their technological strength had been enhanced for some reason, there was still a big gap compared to the physical ceiling of the Warhammer world.
But even so, they were victorious, and they successfully destroyed a Necron dynasty.
"This test was a success, father." An Iron Warrior Space Marine walked carefully to Perturabo's side and said, "These soulless machines are beyond repair."
"... a trivial victory." Perturabo said slowly. "My goal is not just this..."
"Take away everything you can, and then..."
"Prepare for another war!"
641. Nighog? Bang! Gone!
In this vast universe, the destruction of a planet is nothing. For the human empire, there are always planets far away from the center of the empire that are destroyed for various reasons. This is nothing new or uncommon.
Perhaps it was because Black Bean Sprout stole their star, or it was the invasion of the Chaos Army, or it was the arrival of the Tyranids, or it could be all three. In this cruel universe, people have no way of predicting which will come first, tomorrow or an accident.
However, this is not common for the Necrons. Although there are records of weak dynasties being annihilated, the Necrons are rarely targeted by other races.
The Tyranids usually avoid these tough metal chops; without sufficient firepower, troops and the assistance of Space Marines, it is difficult for the human Empire to fight against the Necrons; Chaos will not usually bother the Necrons, because they basically have nothing to gain from fighting those soulless metal beings.
