Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind

After killing Czechosophanes, the King of the Jeromeist dynasty, Russell broke the Necrons' seal on the ruler.

The Ruler is a very special star god. His situation is different from any other star god. Specifically, when Russell unsealed him and took him into his palm, he actually begged for mercy.

"It's so strange. Doesn't it mean that the Star God fragment does not have complete consciousness and thinking ability, but only has the impulse instinct similar to that of a beast." Gray Feng said doubtfully.

"It is true that there are no fragments of the Star God, but the complete ruler Zahurash still has the ability to think and communicate." Russell ignored Zahurash's begging for mercy, and the chains flashing with blue-purple arcs cut his broken body into pieces. Imprisonment pulls the starship over the wreckage.

Gray Feng put her hands behind her back and jumped up and down beside Russell. She thought about it and seemed to understand what Russell meant: "What you mean is that the one who is begging for mercy from us now is not the ruler in front of us. The broken fragments, but the complete ruler before the fragmentation?"

Russell nodded: "Yes, this is the time authority of the Star God Commander. For Zahulash, as long as he has been rational for even one second, then he can extend the rationality of this second and freeze it. …He can definitely stay like this rationally forever.”

The King Juan of the Mechanical Department can pull the ship built tomorrow and sail it today. Even when Zahurash's divine body is broken, he can still keep his consciousness in the rational state of the intact period. This is not difficult for him. .

While Russell and Gray Wind were transporting the fragments of Zahurash to the flagship, an archaeological team composed of personnel from multiple departments such as psychic and mechanical were busy conducting archaeological exploration of the wreckage of the Crown World. Several researchers Surrounded by the metal corpse of Emperor Czechosophanes, he raised and lowered his hands on the giant instrument used to format the C'tan.

"Many of these scholars are students who were taught by Gustav. They are very researched in the technical field of Necrons. Although they cannot move the black stone creations of NTR Necrons like their teachers, they still have to hack into them. It is not difficult to copy some key data from the tomb data center." Gray Feng said happily.

Among the ruins of the extinct Jeromist dynasty, the most valuable data is undoubtedly the Ascension Protocol, which was recompiled by the Czech Emperor Fanis.

"We came just in time, just in the short period of time when it has compiled the ascension protocol, but has not started to officially run the protocol for ascension." Gray Feng said, packaging and compressing a complex file, and passing it through quantum tunneling The network was backed up to the main center of the mothership in Falla:

"We got a copy of the Ascension Protocol, dear."

"Yes." Russell responded softly, and boarded the starship with the fragments of the ruler.

Gray Wind followed him closely with nimble steps, and continued chattering: "It would be great if Gustav was here. He is an expert in the field of necromancy technology. If it were him, he would definitely be able to learn from this." More valuable information can be unearthed from the ruins."

It's a pity that Gustav is still imprisoned by the Word Bearers, and Luojia leads him around the galaxy, preaching everywhere.

"You have to get him back from Luojia when you have time." Russell shook his head and went all the way to the top bridge of the starship. There stood a huge religious building, which was where the time priests of the Order of Truth usually performed sacrifices. The official scientific name of the building is the 'Omega Synchronous Device', while the federal folk prefer to call it the Ring Temple.

Although Russell doesn't think that the Time Worm will eat sacrifices such as lifespan and soul...

Russell threw the ruler who was bound by psychic chains into the ring temple and shouted, 'dinner is ready! ’.

Then, Zahulash's divine body disappeared silently, as if it had never existed - not even in Russell's memory.

If it weren't for an illusory and contented sigh that came from the empty temple, Russell would have even doubted whether he had boarded the starship empty-handed all the way, and then entered the temple gate empty-handed.

"After feeding the Time Worm, we shouldn't have to worry about Falla's safety for the time being." Gray Wind put his face on Russell's shoulder.

The next step is to return home.

Russell sat on the mechanical throne again, and the psychic jump engine began to charge. The archaeological team and resource recovery team on the ground also returned to the cabin one after another. Everything was going in an orderly manner, without any deviation, but only sitting on the throne Russell himself, who was supplying energy for the entire fleet, suddenly felt something inexplicable.

Gray Wind checked all the energy transmission cables and quickly found the source of this strangeness: "The energy output power of Pipe B7 is abnormal. This line is extracting your psychic energy at 13 times the normal demand."

Gray Wind was personally involved in the design of mobile ships represented by the 'Array Breaking Edge' battlecruiser. She was well aware of the number and power of the psychic facilities mounted throughout the hull. Russell's strange feeling was exactly The result of his psychic energy being over-extracted by the B7 energy transmission pipeline.

Gray Feng rushed to the cabin in Area B7 with an accusatory attitude and came to the point of abnormal energy consumption.

When she was about to ask the psychic monk in charge of the area what happened, she saw the unplanned large-scale equipment.

The [Lynx VII] type spiritual wave telescope is a large astronomical telescope that was developed under the leadership of the Department of Spiritual Energy and is currently in the testing stage.

As far as Gray Feng knows, the [Lens]-type spiritual wave telescope is a crystallized bone facility driven by spiritual energy. To a certain extent, it can be regarded as an enhancement pendant for the 'Navigator's' spiritual vision. Its main and only purpose is It is to detect the sea conditions of the sea of ​​souls and spy on the intelligence information of the subspace.

The Sentinel Array has perfected its monitoring of the physical universe, but the Order of Truth still lacks effective monitoring methods for the turbulent waves under the curtain, so the [Lens] type spiritual wave telescope, which carries many expectations, came into being.

As for such an important facility that can be said to be urgently needed, it has been iterated to the seventh generation and has not been officially put into production. It is still in the testing stage. The reason is also very simple.

"First, the current subspace is still shrouded in the super giant storm caused by the death of Nurgle. The sea conditions of the Sea of ​​Souls are extremely bad. If we want to block these interferences and conduct effective observations, the energy consumption of the Lingbo Telescope will be extremely huge. .”

In other words, a lot of psychic dust needs to be consumed.

"Second, there are a large number of malicious subspace entities active in the subspace. It is extremely dangerous for navigators to peek into the subspace itself. The increase in spiritual vision brought by the Lingbo Telescope further exacerbates this shortcoming. Therefore, when psykers use When the [Crystalline] type spiritual wave astronomical telescope is observing the subspace, in order to prevent demons and chaos pollution, they need to spend a lot of spiritual energy to keep the pure spiritual field open to protect themselves."

In other words, more psychic dust needs to be consumed.

The two shortcomings are actually one shortcoming, the power consumption is too high and the cost is too high. No matter how wealthy the Order of Truth is, it cannot withstand the burning of dozens or hundreds of Lingbo astronomical telescopes. Otherwise, the Psychic Department, which has been chattering all the time, will not put down its body and run to the battlefield to fight with the Mechanical Department. Arms orders.

Really short of money...

Several intern monks in Area B7 truthfully confessed to Hui Feng the reason for the abnormal energy output: "Because the power consumption is too high, every test of the Lingbo Telescope consumes a lot of resources. We usually don't conduct experiments frequently at all. Opportunities. There is a lack of sufficient experimental data support, and the progress of related theoretical research is also very slow."

"Now it happens that the leader himself is sitting on the Mechanical Throne to provide energy for the starship. The psychic power output by his body per second is far higher than the total power consumption of the entire fleet, and we lack the ability to crystallize and store the psychic energy. The overflowing energy can only be wasted..."

The monk in white said with a look of shame: "We originally wanted to use the overflowing energy to conduct one or two tests for the Lingbo Telescope to obtain some experimental data, so that our thesis for further studies after returning to Falla would be settled... …But I didn’t expect that…”

Gray Feng frowned: "But I didn't expect that the output power of the Lingbo Telescope was much higher than you expected, right? You squeezed it too hard. Even the marshal felt something strange."

"No, it's not." The trainee monk shook his head repeatedly: "We strictly control the output power and leave sufficient redundant power consumption. If we only run one telescope, it is completely impossible to overload it! However, we What I didn’t expect was…”

"What didn't you expect?"

"We didn't expect that other people thought the same way..."

"Ah, this." Gray Feng blinked, thinking it's a good thing my dear's blood bar is thick, otherwise it would have been drained by you, and he would have to change his body again.

After Hui Feng told Russell the whole story, although the incident itself had no impact on Russell, he still strictly followed the rules and issued punishments of repeating the grade to the dozen people who violated the rules.

For the trainee ascetics of the Psychic Ministry, this was a crueler punishment than killing them.

Apart from the punishment, Russell also developed some interest in this large telescope that was still in the testing stage. He came to the telescope, focused his sight on [Lens VII], and looked at the southern starry sky.

"That side... is the direction of the Sun Star Territory." Gray Feng nodded his lips and said.

"Well, I want to see what the current situation is like on Terra." Russell said while adjusting the focus of the lens: "After Guilliman ascends to the throne, the Terran government is bound to undergo major changes. This kind of crisis involves a large number of people. Social events will directly reflect and affect the subspace."

As he spoke, Russell gradually shifted the perspective of the Lingbo Telescope away from the hazy star field and swept across the north of the sun star field...

"Well, I saw a huge psychic storm, hovering in the 'Armageddon' galaxy as the center. It seemed that an excessive number of greenskins gathered together, powerful waaagh!!! force fields against each other The gathering has combined into a powerful force that cannot be ignored, and has even begun to distort the reality of the universe centered on Armageddon."

The battle for the Great Khan has begun. On the battlefield of Armageddon, whoever can win the throne of the Khan will be the future co-owner of all the greenskins in the galaxy.

"In the center of the Sun Star Field... well, the light of the Star Torch in the direction of Terra is a bit dazzling. It seems that the Emperor's body is in great shape, but the golden light of the Star Torch is a bit green."

Russell whispered to himself, fine-tuning the angle of the Lingbo Telescope bit by bit, slowly moving from the golden star torch to the Terra Palace, and the star flicker's sight fell on the highest holy land of the human empire, the Golden Star. On the throne.

Immediately afterwards, the star bomber shouted "Fuck".

"Fuck you." Russell's eyes widened: "Why are there two people sitting on the Golden Throne?"
