Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind
Chapter 54 Mutation
After the environmental transformation of the southern continent was basically completed, Russell, who returned to the northern continent, unexpectedly learned an interesting thing.
This matter is quite abstract. Generally speaking, there have been some disputes and conflicts between the Ecclesiarchy and the Adeptus Mechanicus. The cause of the conflict is the giant Emperor's icon that is being constructed in the outer orbit of the Falla galaxy.
In the construction diagram of the "Guide to the Way" Emperor icon submitted by Russell, the Emperor is not wearing his iconic golden power armor, but is barefoot and wearing a scholar's robe.
The Adeptus Mechanicus brought some private goods into the construction process of the icon - they added some eye-catching gear-like patterns to the emperor's scholar's robes, which looked the same style as the red robes worn by the technical priests.
In other words, they were building not an icon of the Emperor, but an icon of the Ohm Messiah.
The Ecclesiarchy and the Adeptus Mechanicus were once again at odds over this matter, and in a tense situation, they almost started an internal fight in the empire in Falla. Unfortunately, Russell, who was willing to take advantage of the situation this time, did not see them fighting. The dispute ended in It ends with the state religion adding money.
Russell even suspected that this was the purpose of the Adeptus Mechanicus from the beginning.
The Archbishop was forced to hand over to the Adeptus Mechanicus a high-tech holy relic "The Eye of Truth" that had been passed down from the Great Crusade era and was said to have been used by the Primarch, so that they could wipe it away. The blasphemous gear imprinted on the Emperor's icon.
But if you want to ask which original body used the "Eye of Truth" as a sacred object back then, no one can give a definite answer, not even the Archbishop himself.
The conflict that was settled by the Archbishop's cutting of flesh was just the most eye-catching incident of many disagreements. Ever since the various forces in the empire gathered together in Falla, various frictions between them, large and small, have not stopped.
Today's human empire is nominally a whole, but there is no authoritative ruler who can unify all forces. Each faction within the empire has its own interests and demands, and no one is willing to give in. It's just endless fighting and wrangling.
It is very commendable that they can now maintain an apparent peace in Falla and generally contribute in the same direction.
After stumbling along the way, in the 799th year of the 39th millennium, the "Guide" icon of the human emperor was finally completed in the outer orbit of the Falla star system under the worship of countless believers.
In the same year, the construction of the L-Stargate sub-gate located in the core galaxy Nirvana was reported to be completed; Russell's private fleet brought back the main components of the L-Stargate built by Gray Wind in batches from the critical base system, and with the assistance of the Adeptus Mechanicus, Assembly began on the Emperor's left hand.
To ordinary naval officers and recruits of the Penitent Fire Chapter stationed in Falla, what is being built in space is just a building block in the hands of the God-Emperor's Icon. They did not understand why their commander asked them to leave Falla, where they had been stationed for a long time, and docked the entire fleet around the icon in a defensive posture.
But a very small number of senior executives who know the inside story understand what an important and historic moment this is.
As soon as the main gate is assembled and the first star gate route from Falla to Nirvana can be opened to navigation, the fatal chain that the evil god has tied to the neck of the human empire for thousands of years will really show a crack.
It was at this important moment that a sudden change occurred that subverted everyone's understanding.
For some unknown reason, the main gun of the "Confession Fire", the battle group's flagship that commanded the entire fleet, and carried the Glory Cathedral, suddenly activated on its own, and aimed its muzzle at L-, which was in the final stage of assembly. Stargate - the left hand of the Emperor's icon.
Other surrounding ships immediately became alert, and the weapons systems in standby were immediately activated. Each captain continuously sent communication requests to the Penitent Fire, trying to confirm the reason for the activation of the main gun, but failed to receive any response.
As the navy officers watched in astonishment, a thick spear of destruction was shot from the muzzle of the Penitent Fire, and a brilliant stream of light swept across the starry sky.
The two nearest Adeptus Mechanicus foundry ships reacted immediately, trying to use their hulls to block the fatal blow to the stargate under construction that was not yet equipped with a void shield. However, this type of logistics ship that has not been specialized in combat is maneuverable. How could it be faster than the torrent of energy fired from the flagship's main gun?
Seeing that the star gate that was about to be assembled was about to be destroyed, everyone's hearts froze.
But suddenly, an incomprehensible scene happened again.
The surface of the majestic icon standing in the starry sky suddenly burned with a thin layer of golden flames, as if coated with a layer of gold foil.
The human emperor dressed as a scholar raised the "lantern" in his hand and turned around quickly. Then, this fierce shot that should have completely destroyed the star gate with one blow finally hit the icon's head.
In an instant, the human emperor's head was torn apart in the starry sky.
"What a blasphemy..."
"The shooting just now came from the battleship Penitent Fire. The Penitent Fire Chapter has betrayed! I repeat, the Penitent Fire has betrayed!"
"Each ship immediately concentrates its firepower to eliminate the rebellion! Exterminate the heresy!"
A cruiser captain roared over the communication channel to report this appalling betrayal, and then ordered his crew to attack the Penitent Fire without any delay.
Even if its own ship is much smaller than a large battleship of the Flame of Penance, it cannot stop the raging anger of the imperial soldiers.
However, after the firing order was passed on, the captain did not see the salvo of naval guns that tore up the starry sky, and did not hear the noisy movement and exchanges of people inside the ship.
A trace of cold sweat ran down his forehead, and the captain slowly turned around. What greeted him was an evil blade filled with the power of chaos.
A burly giant wearing red and blue painted power armor, with a pair of curved horns growing on his helmet, quietly appeared behind the captain, and a vicious dagger pierced his heart.
The bloody battleship command room was filled with lifeless crew members. Each corpse died in a different way, but they were all killed with one blow: some had their carotid arteries cut, some had their spines broken, It can be seen that the murderer is carrying out planned killings following some rules that ordinary people cannot understand.
The corpses of dozens of crew members who died in horrible conditions were carefully arranged into strange chaotic patterns, as if they were performing some kind of sacrilegious ritual.
The Chaos Astartes who had single-handedly caused such a tragedy put on a robe over his power armor filled with incantations, and paced back and forth in the bloody cabin, chanting the honorable name of the dark god.
Using this sacrificial ceremony as a link, he tore the curtain between subspace and reality, and a ferocious and twisted chaos demon struggled to crawl out of the pool of blood. Gloomy whispers echoed in the void, torturing those who served this battleship. The loyal machine soul.
"In the name of the Lord of Change..." the Astartes, who was surrounded by chaotic energy, declared.
