Warhammer 40 A New Hope

So according to common sense, Perturabo's actions are not reasonable, because no matter which mainstream Chaos faction it is, attacking the Necrons is not worth the cost - in theory.

But since they have already taken action, it means that attacking the Necrons will definitely be beneficial to them. Is this good or bad for a civilization that has existed for tens of thousands of years?

Time will tell.

A huge high-precision machine tool is in operation, carving several dwarven runes onto a hammer.

A few minutes later, the exquisite hammer was pushed out, and a dwarf craftsman picked it up and knocked on a tree entangled by vines nearby.

A few seconds after the knocking, the vines that had been tightly clinging to the branches of the tree began to fall off by themselves and scattered around.

The goal of the first phase of the replication work (separating things that were not originally one, such as water and sugar) has been basically completed, but the dwarves who strive for perfection are still working to further improve it.

"Our runes can't add any more, why don't we try the rune?"

"We need more adamantium, and other legitimate materials! Hey! Has anyone seen the impact steel I put here?"

"We need more...fantastic materials. Machine tools made from normal materials have unknown effects."

Magic defeated science - in some ways, yes, although the Adeptus Mechanicus had made many breakthroughs during this time, they failed to produce anything that met the requirements.

The vast majority of the Mechanicus were very dissatisfied with this. Even though they were indeed inferior to the dwarves in this respect, as the only supplier of weapons and equipment to the Human Empire for so long, they could not bow to the 'newcomers'.

But for some others, they don’t have this idea and are willing to help the dwarves - it doesn’t matter who you work for, right?

"Materials, materials, materials..." Zhang Yi muttered as he looked at the material request form in his hand. "This material problem is giving me a headache..."

“Ｍ

D, let's go!" Zhang Yi slammed the table. "I'm going to go to Kui Ye and kill that dragon that looks like a snake, and take away everything on his body."

. . . . . .

God of War World

In Norse mythology, there is a giant black dragon named Nighog, who lives near the roots of the World Tree.

According to mythology, this giant black dragon and countless poisonous snakes have been gnawing at the roots of the World Tree. When the roots of the World Tree are bitten off by them, [Ragnarok] will be triggered and the Nine Realms will be destroyed.

But in the Nordic world of this world, Nighog has become a two-legged snake called a dragon (it seems to have only two front legs), and its duty has changed from destroying the roots of the world tree to protecting it at all costs.

In the original plot, Kratos and Freya came to the place where they used to live in order to lift Odin's curse that they could not leave Midgard. Here they found the source of the curse - a knot composed of the roots of the other eight realms. It was this knot that prevented Freya from going to other worlds.

When they tried to break the knot to free Freya, Nighog, who was responsible for guarding the roots of the world tree, appeared through space and attacked them.

From this we can see that this two-legged snake/dragon has the ability to tear through space and use it to attack and move, which is why he can guard the roots of different world trees.

But now, this ability of his will bring him disaster.

As the white portal appeared, first a whole Pathfinder Terminator squad came out, followed by a tactical squad carrying heavy firepower, and finally Zhang Yi and a team of Space Marines.

"Target not found."

“No other organisms were found.”

"Magical fluctuations detected."

The first three Terminators spread out and stood guard in the surroundings, and the heavy weapons tactical team also stood behind the Terminators.

Zhang Yi led the tactical team into the house where Freya once lived and saw the knot of tree roots other than Midgard.

"It looks quite artistic." Zhang Yi said as he approached the knot, and the magical light flickering on it began to dim at this time.

"coming!"

The next moment, a bright blue crack appeared, and a two-legged snake/dragon named Nighog appeared, roaring at Zhang Yi who was approaching several of them.

The Pathfinder Space Marines, who had been prepared for this, immediately stepped forward and jointly propped up a transparent energy barrier, but Nighog appeared and destroyed the barrier with just one collision.

But at this time, Zhang Yi and others in front of the giant beast had disappeared along with blue-gold sparks. They had all appeared outside the house. A blue electric arc struck and directly hit the huge Nighog.

The powerful electric current paralyzed Nighog on the spot. Seeing this, other Space Marines shot tractor beams at the target, trying to pull him out of the gap in the Nine Realms.

Nighog, who suddenly appeared, was pulled out by the joint efforts of several Pathfinder Space Marines. Seeing this, the three Terminators equipped with power gloves immediately stepped forward and smashed their fully charged power gloves into its scaly body.

The power gauntlet that could easily smash the outer armor of a Leman Russ tank hit Nighog, but failed to break the scales on its body and simply knocked it away.

The Space Marine holding the tractor beam immediately controlled the flying target to prevent it from flying too far. However, as Nighog waved his claws, a space rift was cut open, and the tractor beam that bound it was also cut off.

roar--!

Nighog roared and stabbed one of the Terminator Space Marines with its sharp tail, but the latter disappeared on the spot with a flash of light and appeared on the other side.

As a being who can easily tear open space and travel through the rifts in the Nine Realms, his ability means that as long as he wants, almost any defense will be ineffective against him.

Knowing this, Zhang Yi and his team had already decided on countermeasures before coming here. All participants had to prepare at least one piece of equipment that could allow them to move, to ensure that they could avoid Nighog's attacks when necessary.

In order to obtain as much material as possible from Nighog for forging, all the weapons carried by Zhang Yi and his men were of internal destruction type, striving to ensure the integrity of the target Shenzhen Airlines materials to the greatest extent possible.

At this time, Nidhogg once again swung his claws at the Terminator that was rushing towards him, but the latter dodged it with a flash, and the claws fell on him, with the power glove raised high and then smashed on its head.

boom!

The heavy blow knocked Nighog to the ground, and the close contact also weakened some of its strength.

The other two [Pathfinder] Terminators also rushed to Nighog at this time, punched its two front legs respectively, and then pinned it down.

roar--!

Nighog roared again, and its tail, like a sharp blade, stabbed one of the Terminators.

Whoosh—bang!

A golden light flashed by and hit the tail that was trying to stab out, knocking it back. Then another silver light followed and hit the tail.

The men with tractor beams stepped forward, adjusted the power and type of their weapons, and fixed the target in place.

His Space Marines tried to get as close to Nighog as possible to influence his use of his powers.

The two rays of light, one gold and one silver, fell from the sky and hit Nighog heavily, stopping his actions. After his teammates basically controlled the target, the Space Marine holding the heavy arc [Pathfinder] quickly stepped forward, took off another mechanical device on his back, and started it.

He placed the mechanical device on Nighog's head. The device built into the machine pierced into its scales to fix itself. Then a thick steel nail pierced through its scales and reached its brain.

roar--!

The severely injured Nighog roared and began to struggle hard, forcing the Pathfinder Space Marines around it to distance themselves from it.

The freed Nighog kept shaking his head, trying to shake off the unknown mechanical device on his head, but it was fixed very firmly and remained motionless on his head.

boom--!

Accompanied by a dull explosion, Nighog, who had been moving around just now, suddenly froze. After letting out a miserable scream, the huge body fell down with a bang and stopped moving.

"The steel nails will make a hole, and the concentrated explosives will directly destroy the entire brain." Zhang Yi said as he looked at the fallen Nighog. "All done."

"Hurry up and drag this thing back."

"There's still a lot to do."

642. Plan

The dwarves are very experienced in how to obtain as many useful parts as possible from a magical "animal", and they have also learned a lot from the craftsmen in Monster Hunter World.

It's not that the Mechanicus aren't good at this, but they are better at forging metal, or producing weapons and equipment in a scientific way. You ask them to strike metal in the most primitive way like the dwarves and then carve runes on it? They are not ready to learn that yet.

The importance of Dwarven Runes has been known to almost all Mechanicus beings, but due to their own arrogance and the 'rules' of the Dwarves, most of those who can make rune weapons at this stage are still Dwarves, and some high-level rune weapons can only be made by Dwarves.

It is true that some people from the Mechanicum, after establishing good relations with the Dwarves, have grown their production lines under the guidance of the other side and are manufacturing low-level rune bullets, and are gradually expanding the scale. The Dwarfs' [Forge Star] are also moving out some production lines with no technical content, focusing on the production of high-quality weapons, equipment and vehicles.

But that is only a very small number. Some complex forging techniques and the inlaying and engraving of runes can only be done by master rune craftsmen manually or using high-precision machine tools. The dwarves' unwillingness to share their technology is one problem, and even if they share it, whether others can learn and complete the engraving is another question.

This also means that as long as the Empire obtains rare materials that cannot be explained by science, the dwarves will always receive more than the Mechanicus, after all, the other party is more professional.

At this time, a large group of dwarves surrounded Nidhogg's body, skillfully peeling off its scales, then its teeth, claws and the unusual tail.

Some Mechanicus helped them with the division work under the guidance of the dwarves, while most of the Mechanicus priests and technicians could only watch from the sidelines.

"Well... they should handle this problem among themselves." Zhang Yi said as he looked at the strange scene in front of him.

The dwarves do not reject technical exchanges, and there are some mechanics who have a good relationship with them, but the prerequisite is that the sages of the Mechanicus must put aside their arrogance and give them respect, so that they will respect you in return and treat you as a friend.

But this is not an easy task, even though many of the remaining Mechanicus people have been selected by the Emperor and are willing to obey, it is still not easy.

They need to make a choice: to share their own technology to gain new technology, or to hold on to technology and machinery that they most likely do not understand at all and have no idea what they are used for, and watch themselves being left further and further behind.

This is a question that has been discussed for a long time, but it is also obvious that not everyone is as broad-minded as Kadoc and Kaul, who see the reality clearly.

The changes brought about by Zhang Yi are related to everyone...

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

The Warp, Garden of Nurgle

The damage that outsiders once did to this vibrant garden has now been restored beyond recognition, but the good father Nurgle has not recovered.

The cage that was originally located in the center of the garden and was used to imprison Aisha, the Eldar Goddess of Life, is now empty, and so is the heart of Nurgle's kind father.

As soon as the Goddess of Life was abducted, Nurgle launched a huge plague and asked his descendants to look for Aisha, but this massive action ended because the Goddess of Life surrendered her power.

Having lost the authority of being the same god of life as Nurgle, Aisha's whereabouts became unpredictable to Nurgle, and this also caused Green Fertile to change his target.

Having lost the power over life, Aisha is no longer as attractive to Nurgle as before, and even if he wants to find Aisha, he cannot find her because she has given up the power.

A massive plague has stopped, but this does not mean that Nurgle has given up. He just needs to find his target in a different way.

.

Plague is one of the greatest enemies of civilization. It is often composed of microorganisms, viruses and bacteria that are highly contagious, pathogenic and deadly.

Many different plagues have broken out in history, starting with the common cold, then the famous plague and smallpox, and later cholera and Ebola.

With the advancement of technology, plagues are eradicated one after another, but new plagues always emerge.

The same is true in the Warhammer world. Nurgle is always surrounded by Nurglings, patiently stirring his cauldron and brewing a plague that suits his heart. He calls it a 'gift to the real world', even if most people don't think so.

But this time, the Nurgle Spirit who was stirring the green soup in the cauldron looked a little angry, and the surrounding Nurglings and other beings did not dare to come forward and play around Nurgle like before.

After a while, the Nurgle Spirit stopped what he was doing, sniffed the pot of new plague in front of him, and his frown finally relaxed.

The Nurgle spirit waved his hand to the side, and dozens of Nurgle spirits came over holding a big bag.

The Nurgle spirit passed through the big bag and took out several oval stones from it.

Eldar Soul Stone

Those several Eldar soul stones were thrown into a cauldron filled with a new plague, and the moment they fell into the cauldron, the wailing of the Eldar sounded.

Nurgle didn't care about the wails at all. He just lifted up the big bag, and then soul stones like a tide were poured into it. The wails from the souls of the Eldar sounded.

"No need to suffer, for now..." Nurgle murmured. "You no longer have to worry about being hunted by him/her/it..."

"Now, go get my stuff back for me!"

. . . . . .

Nuvenus

The news of the fall of another small Craft World was confirmed, and all the people and things on it were plundered. The corrupt and twisted plants representing Nurgle entangled and wrapped the entire Craft.

The Eldar ark, believed to be lost, was later destroyed by the Imperium of Man's fleet to prevent the plague from spreading to other sectors.

Many Eldar protested against this human behavior, but when humans told them to drag the plague-filled ark back and look after it themselves, they fell silent.

The relationship between the Eldar and humans has indeed improved a lot, but conflicts, prejudices and hatred still exist. The problems between the two races that have lasted for at least a thousand years cannot be resolved in just a few years.

On the other hand, as more and more wandering Eldar responded to Ivrenne's call and came to Nuwenus, more and more problems began to emerge.

The good news is that basically none of these issues are directed against Evelane, and most of the Eldar recognize the current God of Death, who is supported by the Eldar including the followers of the God of Laughter, as the leader.

The bad news is that the vast majority of doubts and questions are directed at the Human Empire directly, and some are directed at the Human Empire indirectly.

In the past, the number of Eldar coming to Nuwenus was relatively small, and there were relatively few factions, but as more and more Eldar came to this planet, more and more problems arose.

In addition to the old saying, the elves' arrogance and contempt for the new human race, there is also jealousy of the gradually developing and progressing Human Empire, coveting Zhang Yi's existence, and dissatisfaction with the Human Empire's failure to fulfill its promises.

Nuwenus is now gradually becoming saturated due to the arrival of more and more elves. Although it is not to say that there is no place for people to stand, various problems caused by too many people have already shown signs.

Coupled with Slaanesh's recent hunting of the Dark Eldar and Nurgle's revenge on the entire Eldar race, the number of the entire Eldar race has dropped sharply in recent times, and they are increasingly longing for the safe world promised by humans, where they do not have to worry about the threat of the evil gods of the Warp.

That was why Evelyne heard requests from her own people for the first time, asking her to go to Guilliman or some other Imperial leader and ask them where the planet they had promised her was, a planet where there would be no need to worry about the threat of the evil gods of the Warp.

As for this problem, Evereli has not forgotten it, but her recent busyness has left her no time to take care of it, and the situation of human beings has not been very good recently.

She had actually mentioned this to Guilliman several times, but he had always brushed her off with various excuses. Now it seemed...

She would need to talk to him about this sometime.
