Infinite Metaverse

Battleship Suzheng, conference room.

A Legion meeting was held here.

This is a long overdue Legion meeting.

Because three of the seven chapter leaders were seriously injured in the raid on the teleportation gate in the depths of the moon, and one of them even had his head screwed off. The Legion meeting could not be held in the absence of so many Chapter Masters. The meeting could only be held after all three of them had sat up from the Space Marine automatic medical platform.

Another reason why the meeting was late was that the Space Marines needed time to completely clean out the entire battle moon, search for the remaining orcs, burn out the greenskin spores, and repair and dismantle the Ork's various alien technological creations. Cleaning up the battlefield is a time-consuming and labor-intensive job, especially since the interior of this rocky satellite is riddled with holes dug in all directions by the orcs.

After the reorganization of the Fifth Legion, a very important order issued by Qingshan Khan was to "hold more conferences and less small meetings", requiring that all military issues must be discussed at legion meetings, rather than by each war group itself. Hold meetings privately to communicate. Doing so helps to unify the thoughts and pace of the entire legion and keep the loose hunting group tightly connected.

And now it's a standard legion meeting.

All officers above company level are required to attend.

"we won."

Qingshan Khan stood on the podium, with his hands on the table, facing the Space Marine officers of each battle group who were sitting neatly in front of him, and said straight to the point:

"We conquered a battle moon."

The Astartes officers present were breathing heavily and their eyes were burning. Although the battle had ended a few days ago, and although they had known the result for a long time, they still felt heartily excited and proud after hearing the news announced by Qingshan Khan himself - successfully conquering an orc. Battle Moon, an incredibly powerful enemy was vanquished. This result alone is enough to satisfy a Space Marine without the need for recognition or accolades from any Imperial institution.

It is conquest and occupation.

Not by destroying it with some kind of star-destroying weapon.

Instead, completely occupy and seize this alien satellite.

These two results are different.

"These alien satellites have been wreaking havoc in the empire for several months or even longer. They are rampaging and destroying all the worlds they pass through. No one can stop them, no matter the Imperial Navy, Imperial Guard or other military forces... But it turns out they can be defeated, they can be killed, they are not invincible!"

Fu Qinghai slowly looked around the crowd and said.

"It turns out."

Fu Qinghai emphasized his tone and said forcefully:

"We can defeat them!"

The word "we" is particularly emphatic.

The Space Marine officers present looked at him seriously.

They all understood the meaning of Fu Qinghai's words.

We, one Legion of Astartes.

Even if there are no huge numbers of mortal troops to drive, even if there are no mountains of Titan legions to support them, once the Astartes Chapters are reorganized into the Astartes Legions, the Space Marines will still become the Empire of Man. The most powerful military force, there is no doubt about it.

Judging from the regiment numbers and fleet numbers of the human slaves rescued in the battle moon, this battle moon had already ravaged at least seven to eight human worlds before arriving at the Endin Hive World. It was truly invincible and unstoppable along the way. , everything they went was plundered.

Until he encountered the White Scars of the Fifth Legion.

The moon's progress was finally stopped.

The Space Marines have always been the backbone of the Imperium of Man.

"But this war is far from over."

Fu Qinghai changed the topic and said in a deep voice:

"The Orcs have more than one battle moon. We are all very aware of this fact. We cannot face several battle moons at the same time. We are also very aware of this fact... But no matter what, once the Orcs approach Holy Terra, we will still attack Rush there for reinforcements. Just like more than a thousand years ago, the Great Khan led the Fifth Legion to go to Terra despite numerous dangers and obstacles. This is the mission of the White Scars!"

As a space warrior, it seems to be a natural responsibility to rescue the capital city of Terra. But in fact, many Space Marines never set foot on Terra from promotion to death. Because the human empire is so big that the Space Marines may not have the chance to go to Terra in their lifetime. Many of them only have the impression of Holy Terra that they have the aloof capital bureaucrats and endless battle orders.

There is no consciousness to sacrifice for.

Terra did not issue an order for us to go back. We reorganized our legion and marched towards Terra. In the eyes of the high lords, is this considered a rescue or a rebellion?

Many Chapter Leaders have such concerns.

But this time Fu Qinghai's tone was very high.

He compared this operation to the Primarch who led his legion to rescue Terra more than a thousand years ago. Jaghatai Khan did this, so why don't we?

"My information is 100% accurate."

Fu Qinghai looked at everyone and continued:

"The orcs will march on Terra."

The source of the information is of course the plot of the original novel.

"So we leave immediately?"

Mandu Ratu Khan asked in a deep voice:

"If we want to reach Terra as quickly as possible, we must start the subspace jump now, and then enter the inner solar system directly through the Hades Gate or the Paradise Gate." Baoshu Lige stroked his beard and analyzed.

"No." Fu Qinghai shook his head unexpectedly:

"We are going to Terra, but not at the fastest speed." Fu Qinghai's eyes swept over everyone present.

There was an obscure light flashing in his eyes.

"We will go slowly."

The legion commander finally issued a strange order.

…………

Endin Hive World, Aresosa Hive.

A Thunder Eagle gunboat and two Flame Raptor gunboats smashed the heavy lead-gray clouds in the sky and quickly landed on the apron in front of the Governor's Mansion in a triangular shape. The Thunder Eagle gunboat was sandwiched between the two flaming raptor gunboats.

This is an unusual scene. The Thunderhawk gunboat itself has good firepower and protection. It usually does not need other armed gunboats to escort it. It is escorted by two Flame Raptor gunboats. This scene is very rare.

"Swish-bang!"

The front cabin of the gunboat opened and fell to the ground. A bald Space Marine in black and gold armor led ten Space Marines holding giant halberds and wearing giant power armor and walked down the gangway "dong dong dong dong". The metal chin of the leading warrior flashed with reflection.

The door of the planetary governor's mansion opened outward, and a group of servants came out holding a thick roll of scarlet velvet carpet. They prostrated themselves on the ground and shouted "Long live the Emperor" devoutly, and then pretended to spread the carpet on the way forward for the Space Marines.

Unexpectedly, the Space Marines ignored them at all, walked straight through the group of slaves and walked quickly into the Governor's Mansion, as if the people lying on the ground at their feet did not exist.

In the Governor's Mansion, a tall, fat man wrapped in fur and embellished with jewels, supported by several maids, came over with open arms, his face full of ecstasy after surviving a disaster:

"Thank the Emperor, praise the Emperor, He sent His battle angels to let us survive the disaster of the green-skinned aliens. This is an extremely great day, a day that should be remembered, officers, I declare today as Endin's Victory Day and Holy Carnival, we... uh."

Joshida raised his hand to stop his chattering.

The first captain did not pause at all, even though the person standing in front of him was the absolute ruler of a planet. In the stunned eyes of the planetary governor, Joeshida raised his hand and pressed on his shoulder to push him aside, his eyes still staring at the front, his steps did not stop, and his mouth said words without sincerity:

"Sorry, Governor, we have received your gratitude, but we do not have time to listen to your victory celebration plan for the time being. We need to search your mansion now."

As he spoke, Joeshida raised the handheld auspicious instrument.

Looking at the flashing red dot in the middle of the screen.

"It's right under this building."

An Iron Pagoda Terminator next to him suggested.

Qiao Shida nodded slightly and continued to move forward.

The orc invasion had just happened not long ago. At this time, the planetary governor's mansion was still armed like a fortress. Family private soldiers, nest city marshals and planetary defense soldiers gathered here, but no soldier dared to stop this team of space warriors. They walked towards the freight elevator leading to the deepest part of the mansion under the concentrated attention of many soldiers.

Two Iron Pagoda Terminators turned around and stayed at the elevator entrance to guard, and the remaining Iron Pagoda Terminators followed Qiao Shida to take the elevator all the way down. Amid the rumbling sound of the ancient hinges turning quickly and the creaking sound of the elevator car being overloaded, many space warriors were silent, and the atmosphere seemed a little depressed for a while. Qiao Shida stared at the bird augur in his hand.

It was getting closer and closer to the target location.

"Boom... creak!"

The elevator landed heavily and opened the door.

Space Marines filed out, following the direction indicated by the portable auspicious instrument, and walked through the ancient and outdated pipes and machinery. The surrounding machines were covered with dust and rust, and seemed to have a history of hundreds of years, or even longer. Qiao Shida didn't know why there was such a place under the planetary governor's mansion, and he didn't care what secrets this nest city hid.

Qiao Shida suddenly slowed down.

His nose twitched and sniffed hard.

There was a faint smell of blood in the air.

Very faint, but he still smelled it.

This may not be good news.

"Speed ​​up!"

Qiao Shida drew out the power sword and shouted.

"Boom boom boom!"

The dense and heavy footsteps shook off the dust.

One after another, dim emergency lighting lights lit up overhead, and the dust falling from the top of the low metal passage was like a column of air in the dim light. Qiao Shida looked down at the auspicious instrument, and then glanced at the metal boxes and large machinery around him. The characters on the boxes gave him a strange sense of familiarity—these were some ammunition supply boxes, but the numbering format was completely different from that of the current Imperial Army…

More like the method used during the Great Crusade.

The Great Crusade.

What a long-standing and familiar term.

What a deep and painful memory.

Qiao Shida shook his head and took a deep breath to force himself to withdraw from the memories of explosions, fire and blood. All the objects and facilities around were filled with ancient traces that had been deposited for a long time - but such a place should not have the smell of fresh blood! This long-sealed secret passage was opened by someone, and someone had already got there first, which was bad news.

"The target is very close to us, sir."

An Iron Pagoda Terminator reminded in a low voice.

"Prepare for battle!"

Qiao Shida pressed the button on the hilt.

A small and dark blue arc flashed on the blade.

The target was behind the open gate in front.

Qiao Shida led a group of Terminators and rushed forward.

"Squeak--"

Qiao Shida stopped at the door with his foot.

At the same time, he stopped the Terminator behind him.

The "target" was right in front of him.

Qiao Shida held his breath and stared at the huge metal object less than ten meters away from him: a car-sized iron-black cylinder lying there quietly, with a worn double-headed sky eagle and a danger warning sign on the shell.

He had seen this thing in front of him, more than a thousand years ago, when they were still called "Shadow Moon Wolves", wearing gray-white power armor, galloping across the starry sea in the name of the Lord of Humanity, conquering one planet after another. If a planet resists too fiercely, or has been heavily contaminated by alien creatures... they will consider using this thing in front of them.

Virus bomb.

A weapon that can destroy a planet.

Just lying here without any defense

Qiao Shida's eyes moved down and saw several corpses scattered around the virus bomb. The death was extremely miserable. The body was cut open to expose the mechanical prosthesis implanted in the body. These exquisitely patterned cyber prosthesis were also cut into pieces by sharp blades, dripping with oil and bursting with electric sparks. The clothes worn by the corpses are exactly the same as those of the planetary governor's family private soldiers.

"They have been ordered to detonate this virus bomb. I have no choice but to kill them."

A calm voice sounded overhead.

When Qiao Shida and the Terminators heard the voice, they looked up and found that a Space Marine in black and gold armor was sitting on a steel beam five or six meters above the virus bomb! He wore a beak-shaped helmet and a wing-shaped jetpack. One foot was on the steel beam and the other foot was hanging down. He looked down at his group of people calmly.

This Space Marine was clearly within such a close distance, so close that no one, including Qiao Shida, realized his existence.

"Satfaran..."

Joshida sighed and breathed a sigh of relief:

"Next time before you go out, can you say hello to me first? If you had said that you had solved the problem earlier, would I have to rush over with people?"

"You are too slow."

The Space Marine on the steel beam said.

There was a golden raven relief on his left shoulder armor, and in his palm was a small signal transmitter, which just corresponded to the portable auspicious instrument in Qiao Shida's hand.

He turned off the signal transmitter casually, raised his hand to take off his helmet, revealing a pale and thin face covered by soft black hair. The Space Warrior jumped down from the steel beam, and the specially made jet backpack behind him sprayed a strong airflow that was just right, lifting him to land steadily on the ground. The iron boots did not make any sound when they touched the ground.

It was like a raven landing lightly.

"I found this place five days ago, and after getting rid of these guys, I waited here for three days. You finally came... I can't move this thing alone."

Satfarran pointed to the virus bomb behind him.

"Why do you think I dare to touch it?"

Qiao Shida snorted unhappily.

Then he lowered his head and said to the communication channel:

"Inform Master Quinto that we have found the target, and ask him to send someone to move this unfortunate thing as soon as possible."

…………

After the Legion meeting, the White Scars Fleet spent more than ten days to thoroughly clean up the battle moon. The military technical priests almost emptied all the movable Ork machines that were worth studying, including some machine wreckage left after the explosion of the teleportation gate deep in the satellite.

All the rescued human slaves were dismissed on the spot, and the Space Marines placed them all in the Endin Hive World. These slaves may come from other worlds in the star zone, or from a fleet, a corps, or a planetary defense force on a planet, but the Space Marines did not have time to slowly place them at this moment. The White Scars were in a hurry to rush to Terra, so they simply and roughly threw them all to the local planetary governor.

The battleship Suzheng, captain's room.

Fu Qinghai held a closed-door meeting.

Although he said "hold more big meetings and fewer small meetings", Lord Qingshan Khan held a lot of small meetings. This was a very small meeting, only for club members and senior officers who knew about the existence of the reincarnation world. The content of the meeting was also very simple, which was to formally accept new club members.

Nickname: Blindsight.

Name: Lucia Aldin.

A mutant, her superpowers are mind reading and prophecy. She once studied at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters founded by Professor X, so strictly speaking, she was also an X-Man.

Her mutant ability comes from the X-gene implantation project of Perfect Humanity. The real "Blindsight" in the Marvel Comics Universe was caught by Perfect Humanity and the mutant gene in his body was extracted. Rukia was the only one who succeeded in the experiment. He pretended that the implantation failed, and then used prophecy to read minds and escaped from the perfect human laboratory by chance, and was later taken in by Professor X. She adopted Blindsight's surname "Aldin" as her new surname, and also inherited the title "Blindsight".

"In this victory, Blindsight must be the first to take credit."

Fu Qinghai said while pouring wine.

In internal meetings, the atmosphere can be more relaxed.

He handed a glass of Catalina white wine to Blindsight, and the blindfolded girl stood up and took it flattered. Although she was blind, the fragrant fragrance was already blowing in front of her nose with the shaking of the wine glass, which made people drunk.

This time the White Scars raided the Orc Battle Moon just in time to catch up with the Orcs plundering the Hive World of Endin. Many Orc troops were airdropped to the surface to participate in the plunder. The White Scar fleet suddenly appeared outside the galaxy, catching the orcs by surprise. They had to temporarily summon the troops on the surface back to fight hastily, which felt like a "half-crossed attack".

And it’s all thanks to Lucia Aldean. In the past, it was often the orcs who caught humans off guard, because the battle moon could ignore the gravity field of the galaxy and be transmitted directly to the galaxy, leaving no warning time for the human army. In addition, there were various electromagnetic interferences, and the orcs were always already approaching the human world. Only then did he realize that a disaster was coming.

Now the Battle Moon that sneaks into the human world has been sneak-attacked. As soon as the offensive turns around and the identities are switched, this is the power of prophecy, this is the power of psychic energy, simple, crude and unreasonable. In the Warhammer 40K universe, a place full of monsters and monsters, you should not rely on prophecies, let alone be superstitious about prophecies.

But you can't live without prophecy.

"Rukia Aldin has proven her ability. She is qualified to join my society and my chapter. I will find a way to obtain the status of a registered psyker for her, so that she can travel within the borders of the Human Empire and Participate in military operations."

Fu Qinghai continued to explain his decision.

A very reasonable decision, no one raised any objections.

There have been many illegal psykers in the Iron Buddha Chapter. Chen Xinxue, Chen Xinlu and Li Xingxian are because they don’t come to the Warhammer 40K universe often, so there is no need to go to all the trouble to register them as legal psykers. Zhang Yuning couldn't do it because she was playing devil's game, so there was no way she could become a registered legal psyker, and it was useless to find connections with anyone.

But the situation with blindness is different. Prophecy and divination are allowed psychic abilities. There are many diviners and prophets among the people of the human empire, and some inquisitors, including Gray Knights, like to seek their help. Some inquisitors relied too much on prophecies and even formed a radical faction called the "divineers faction". Sid Nora is the representative of the diviners faction.

"Finally, let's welcome Rukia on board."

After Fu Qinghai finished speaking, he raised his glass.

Everyone in the captain's room also raised their glasses.

Only then did Lucia dare to take a sip of the wine in her glass.

It tastes so good. I have never had such a delicious wine.

After finishing her drink, Rukia couldn't help but lick her lips again.

Zhang Yuning sat on the single sofa boredly.

I thought I usually use this kind of wine to wash my feet.

Fu Qinghai felt happy while drinking.

I thought that I also have a fortune teller now.

I don't know since when, Fu Qinghai began to look more and more like his enemy Abaddon.

Abaddon has a group of loyal and skilled Space Marines called "Azerkarion". The inner-circle officers under Fu Qinghai also have their own magical powers, including Paladin, Moonlight Knight, Ghost Rider, Stealth Master, Intelligence Master...

Abaddon had one of his advisers, the blind prophet Moriana, a diviner and said to be one of the founders of the Holy Inquisition. Fu Qinghai also has a fortune teller, Lucia Aldin, who is also proficient in various divination methods.

The armor of the Black Legion is painted in black and gold.

The Iron Buddha Chapter's livery is also black and gold.

You can't think about it in detail, the more you think about it, the more it looks like.

"Where is the next destination?"

Fu Qinghai turned to look at his navigator.

"The edge of the solar system."

Navigator Tracey replied cautiously.

"okay."

Fu Qinghai looked at the star map and fell into deep thought.

"What are you worried about, Khan?"

Seeing this, the hermit chief Tristan asked strangely:

"We have successfully captured a battle moon. According to your intelligence, the orcs did not use multiple battle moons to attack Terra. Then we only need to follow the same tactics to destroy the battle moon over Terra. Now the entire legion The morale is high and the brothers are very confident.”

"You're already considering Ullanor?"

Lin Yu asked tentatively.

Fu Qinghai shook his head gently.

"You have all overlooked one issue. In addition to the Orcs, we may have another enemy."

Fu Qinghai narrowed his eyes slightly and said.

Another enemy?

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

I thought: This is the big plot event "Beast Wars". What other enemies are there besides the Orcs? Will other alien races or chaotic forces also intervene?

Fu Qinghai crossed his fingers under his chin and quietly looked at the holographic projection on the table in front of him. The eight planets were slowly rotating around the star, which was the familiar solar system. His eyes were focused on one of the red planets.

"Mars."

Fu Qinghai said in a low voice.
