Stars for the good Warhammer

The Emperor's Scythe was a sub-regiment established during the Third Founding of the Army, originally separated from the 199th Company of the Ultramarines.

These outstanding warriors were responsible for guarding the secrets of the Pharos Lighthouse under the orders of Guilliman thousands of years ago to prevent the original body's disgraceful black history from being known to outsiders until the subsequent Hive Fleet Kraken 's arrival

The tentacles of the swarm attacked Sousa mercilessly. Even though the warriors of the Emperor's Scythe resisted desperately, they could not withstand the alien army of hundreds of millions. This is why the planet is in such a state of devastation. The main reason for the hole pattern.

Fortunately, the bugs are not very interested in the alien creation made entirely of black stone and machinery left on this planet, which is the main reason why it can be preserved to this day.

Looking at the celestial body not far away that had been dead for a long time, he seemed to have thought of something. Otto turned sideways and asked Gray Feng who was standing aside.

"Speaking of which, you have never come into contact with the Star God species, right?"

As he spoke, Otto looked carefully at the confused little girl in front of him. It was easy to tell from the curious look on her face that this was the first time she had heard of this.

"Star God? What is that?"

But having said that, it is normal for the other party not to know this. After all, Gray Wind came to this universe in the early days of the Emperor's Great Crusade. Although he traveled for about three thousand years after that, he was still far away from the awakening of the Necrons. But there is still some time.

Considering that there is a possibility of confronting the Star God in the process of dismantling the Pharos Lighthouse, it is still necessary to explain it to the other party. After thinking about this for a moment, Otto continued.

"It is a powerful and pure energy entity that only exists in the physical universe. Each of them has the ability to distort the laws of physics. Just like their names, they can be said to be real gods in the world. ”

Otto's words made Gray Feng fall into silence. Then she blinked and continued to ask in a slightly troubled tone.

"Is it an existence similar to a virtual entity? Master, do you mean that we may fight against such an enemy in the future?"

Facing Gray Feng's question, Otto paused for a moment, obviously he was not very sure about it either.

"Perhaps the star gods once did possess that level of power, but now they have been weakened and their bodies have been broken into countless pieces. For example, there is such a star in the alien creation we are about to recover. The God Shard is the key to powering that device."

"I'm worried that we may accidentally release that thing during the dismantling process. Although it is not as powerful as before, the power of these fragments is still very powerful. If the thing escapes, I think we will have The ability to send it back?"

Who would have thought that facing the worry shown on Otto's face, Gray Feng on the side looked so surprised, as if he had encountered something incomprehensible.

"Is there anything strange about what I said?"

"No, I just don't understand why you are worried about this problem, Master?"

Why?

Otto didn't quite understand why Gray Feng in front of him was so surprised. However, the other person's next words couldn't help but arouse his deep thoughts again.

"Although as a machine, I don't have any concept of spiritual energy, Master, you have absorbed most of the power in the virtual realm with the help of that ether engine. In terms of power level and essence, that thing really dares to Am I being presumptuous in front of you?"

In fact, Otto had heard similar words more than once. In Gray Wind's eyes, the former Lord of Ashes was an omnipotent existence. This was the main reason why the other party worshiped him so much.

However, in fact, most of the miracles and legends that girls had boasted about over and over again on their pillows were just the results achieved with the help of players' cheating abilities. He didn't think there was anything worth bragging about. place.

Besides, he said that he has obtained the power of the entire virtual realm? Otto has always maintained a skeptical attitude towards this. After all, apart from the ability to communicate and trade with subspace, he does not feel that there is anything special about his body.

Facing Gray Feng's endless talk, Otto just answered as always.

"I'm just an ordinary person now."

As the fleet continued to approach Sousa, it seemed that it had noticed something. Gray Feng, who had been looking relaxed at first, suddenly raised his head. Almost at the same time, the ship-borne radar transmitted a message. An alarm went off.

"Master, there is something going on there."

When the girl's words fell, the next moment the holographic star map in the fleet command hall suddenly showed images of several unknown ships docked in the asteroid belt. Seeing this scene, the fleet immediately followed the instructions of Gray Gu. The command issued by the mothership unfolded and presented a battle formation.

However, when Otto walked quickly to the tactical command platform and clearly saw the sickle emblem on the hull of the fleet through the three-dimensional imaging of the star map, he immediately heard him giving instructions to Gray Wind who raised his hand to direct the aiming of the turret. Know the instructions for releasing the fire control lockout.

"It's the Scythe of the Emperor's battle barge, a man of the Empire."

Curious as to why these Scythe of the Emperor warriors appeared here again tens of thousands of years after their homeland was destroyed, Otto immediately contacted the Great Sage Caul who was on the destroyer through the fleet's command channel.

According to the Great Sage, the warriors of the Emperor's Scythe followed him to investigate the Pharos Lighthouse. Originally, Caul had pinned his hopes on preventing the extension of the Great Rift through these alien devices.

However, after learning from Guilliman about the arrival of the Alliance and the hyperdrive, the latter was obviously more attractive in comparison, so he temporarily left these warriors behind and ordered them to guard the lighthouse until he returned.

While the two sides were still communicating, the Scythe of the Emperor warriors had obviously noticed the Alliance's arrival, and then a vigilant voice was heard coming from the fleet's public channel.

"Unknown fleet! Identify your identities immediately!"

In response, Caul responded promptly, explaining the alliance's identity as an ally, and resolving the misunderstanding in a timely manner. However, not long after that, the Astartes who only listened to the Emperor's Scythe continued to report.

"Lord Caul, the advance team led by the Chapter Master has lost contact with us. They seem to have encountered trouble near the lighthouse."

"We once sent a Primaris team to search, but we also lost news of the search team not long ago."

The Astartes team responsible for guarding the Pharos Lighthouse are missing?

Hearing this, Otto had a vague premonition in his heart.
