Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind

There is a faction among the Necrons that aspires to replace the Star Gods and become the gods of the physical universe, and Ourrican the Astrologer is one of the representatives of this doctrine. For a long time, Ourrican has been looking to get rid of the metal body and become the Star Gods. methods, and Russell was very clear about these things.

But what he didn't know was when Orikan actually succeeded.

According to the records of the Black Library, until the 42nd millennium, Ourrican's research progress on the Star God was still at the superficial level of "briefly sensing the Star God's hunger for life", and was far from truly replacing the Star God's grandeur. The goals can't be too far apart. At least it can be said that they are just preparing dry food for the long march of thousands of miles.

It is now the 39th year of the 40th millennium. In the original historical process, Ourrican, who had accomplished almost nothing in the next two thousand years, why did he suddenly succeed now?

"Perhaps, we can find the answer in Ourikan's memory." Russell glanced at the three extra-dimensional time loop cages displayed in front of him and asked: "Grey Wind, do you have a way to read Ourikan's memory? ?”

Gray Wind shook his head, "Orican has cut and pasted his consciousness and memories into the fragments of the void dragon's divine body. The star god's life structure is different from any other life form we know. We are currently Without technical means that can interfere with the will of the Star God, it is naturally impossible to read Ourikan's memory, unless..."

Although the Order of Truth claims to have extracted the secret of the Black Stone from the Star God's will of the Void Dragon, only Gray Wind himself knows that the technological breakthrough for synthesizing the Black Stone was actually developed by dissecting the Void Dragon's living metal skin. .

The living metal skin of the Void Dragon has the same quantum inertia and subspace magnetic poles as the black stone material, but they are completely different materials. This shows that the black stone itself cannot suppress psychic energy and demons, and plays the role of suppressing/amplifying the subspace. It is a more primitive and pure force.

"Unless what? How can we successfully extract the memory of a star god?" Russell asked quickly.

Gray Wind spread his hands, "Unless we can master the 'Ascension Protocol'."

The Ascension Protocol is a high-energy protocol used by Oerikan to format the Star God's fragments and obliterate the Void Dragon's will. It is also the only currently known method that can interfere with the Star God's will and memory.

"So where is the Ascension Agreement...?"

"In Orican's memory." Gray Wind said helplessly: "Without extracting its memory, we will not be able to master the Ascension Protocol."

Well, the key is locked in the safe.

So the question goes back to the original place - how did Orican obtain the key? How could an astrologer who had been inactive for tens of thousands of years suddenly develop something as awesome as the Ascension Protocol?

"Who knows?" Gray Feng spread his hands again. The hands and feet of the Astrologer and the Endless One were very clean and their actions were secretive. There was no place to check.

Russell thought for a while and said, "How about I tell your fortune?"

Gray Feng's face bulged, "It seems like this is the only way."

Under Gray Wind's gaze, Russell began to pray on the spot.

Sure enough, nothing came out of the prayer. This is not surprising. The history of the Necron's struggle with the warp and psychic energy spans hundreds of thousands or even millions of years. It is not easy for astrologers to try to block psychic divination.

"Is my fortune-telling posture wrong?" Russell began to reflect on himself. If he wanted to tell fortunes, Mortarion's numerology might be an option. Otherwise, he could try asking the Emperor and Tzeentch.

"If it doesn't work, let's go and destroy the Sotec dynasty, the unit that Ourikan works for, right?" Gray Wind suggested: "Although there are a lot of things to do now and everyone is busy, the Ascension Agreement is of great importance. I think we can put other work on hold first and give priority to searching for clues at the homes of the Astrologer and the Storm King."

"Well... this is the only way." Russell was really considering it seriously.

Just as the two were discussing the feasibility of this plan, suddenly, the time weapon - the principle of the ring, which was stored in another cabin in the Gray Gu mothership, began to rotate on its own.

A soft voice with a touch of sadness sounded in the subconscious of Russell and Gray Feng at the same time:

"Even if you are at your wits' end, aren't you willing to ask me for help?"

Russell and Gray Feng looked at each other, and both of them had ghostly expressions on their faces.

This was Russell's first direct communication with the Time Worm since he came to this universe. There was no need to use the Omega Synchronization Device, nor was he in the great void of the Nightmare Seat affected by him. The thoughts of the Late Time Worm were directly projected into In Russell's subconscious, this is the purest exchange of ideas.

Russell suddenly remembered that when she first boarded the Gray Goo mothership, Gray Wind had told him that there were actually 4 fragments of the Star God she had captured, but the fragments of Commander Zahulash were stolen by Time. The worm ate it.

"The Ruler Zahulash holds the power of time in this universe. Because he ate his fragments, the Worm of Time can now communicate directly with us?"

"No, thinking about it the other way around, the Worm of Time has never communicated directly with me before. Maybe it's not that he doesn't want to, but that he can't, because the Worm of Time is not a native law creature of this universe, but after swallowing the fragments of Zahurash Finally, He absorbed part of the concept of time belonging to this universe, and the Worm of Time became slightly 'localized'..."

Russell's threads were spinning rapidly, and he quickly figured out the causes and consequences of this series of events.

Immediately afterwards, the gentle voice of the Worm of Time, as gentle as a lover's whisper, appeared in Russell's ears again:

"You are really smart, kid, and I love you more and more."

"Then my love for the marshal is, ×2!" Gray Wind muttered not to be outdone.

This is what and what.

Russell felt that something was wrong with the surrounding magnetic field, so he quickly changed the subject: "So, Ms. Worm of Time? You mean that you can provide us with clues about Ourrican and the 'Ascension Agreement'?"

"Ms., this title is too alienating. I hope you can use the words used to address female relatives in human society to call me, such as sister? Mom? Or sister... anything is fine. I just want to be closer to you. In that case I'll be happy."

"..." Russell looked at Gray Feng beside him and found that she was so angry that her head was a little deformed.

Literally transformed, the humanoid mimicry of the nanorobot cluster was somewhat unsustainable.

Russell didn't dare to respond to the Time Worm's suggestion, so he had to be vague.

The Insect of Time seemed to have known this result for a long time, and he didn't care.

The topic was back on track: "So, where did the Ascension Protocol in Ourrican's hands come from? Could it be that he had a sudden inspiration and unreasonably broke through the problem that had not been able to make any progress for thousands of years? Esoteric research?”

"Of course not." The voice of the Time Worm was soft and gentle: "There is an existence helping it and guiding it, so that the astrologer finally succeeded in occupying the magpie's nest and replaced the Star God-the god of the physical universe."

"Who is that existence?" Russell asked quickly.

"The God of All Opportunities."

The voice of the Worm of Time is still soft, but every word he speaks is extremely heavy.

"Is... the God of All Opportunities that I thought of?"

"Not a clay artist, kid, but the God of All Machines." The Insect of Time emphasized: "It is the God of All Machines who has always been worshiped by the Adeptus Mechanicus."
