Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

"Great story."

"But we are different from you. We wouldn't be trapped here if we didn't join the Tyrone Navy. We just want to get out of this ghost place now."

One crew member expressed his dissatisfaction.

"At least we are still alive!" Talon reprimanded angrily, "If you are afraid of the void, if you are afraid of the terrible truth in this universe, why did you join the Talon Navy? Why did you enter the Naval Academy? Those of you who participated in the Golden Expedition are like this cowardice!"

Taron's anger was met with only sarcasm.

The whole crew was laughing at him, and when they seemed to have had enough, they all said at the same time, "Funny ants."

Talon wanted to continue reprimanding, but the room suddenly fell into darkness, and the entire escape cabin shook violently.

The captain immediately became vigilant, like a veteran who encountered an enemy by chance in battle, with a cold and fierce expression on his face.

This is not the first time this has happened in the past twenty years, it happens almost every day.

Talon knew what would happen immediately after something unusual happened in the escape cabin. In order to cope with what was about to appear, he sat cross-legged facing the posters and signs, forcing himself to calm down.

Then the entire escape cabin suddenly became translucent, and the strange universe outside the escape cabin also became translucent. The "kaleidoscope" was still there, but Talon could see the circles of stars while he was in the escape cabin. and the world outside the planet.

Outside there are nebulae.

Colorful nebulae swirled over, and they gradually converged into one thing.

What this nebula had gathered together was something Talon could not describe.

It was clearly visible, but its shape was indescribable. Just a glimpse of it made Talon feel a severe mental shock.

Talon did not close his eyes. He stared at the thing, imprinting the appearance of the thing in his brain, so that if he could be found one day, Talon's researchers could at least trace what he had seen from his body. What and then deal with it.

But this thing is so huge that we can only peek at a corner.

The thing began to circle around the escape pod.

Talon was fighting mental shock at the same time. In his own feelings, it was as if his brain was being boiled in a hot pot and was facing an attack from the enemy. All he could do was to build a line of defense to resist the attack. This is human beings as real creatures. The act of making abstract feelings concrete.

The way to build a defense line is not to actually build a circle of positions next to the brain, but to let the brain operate and think about things.

Tarun begins to recall his past.

In the Naval Academy, on the ship, at the end of the Golden Crusade.

Mission, responsibility.

It's not that Talon doesn't want to think about the happy times he had on his home planet, the parents he never saw again after being sent out by the Governor, and the girl next door in his childhood. It's just that these beautiful things will only make people relax. .

He needs to be the most passionate and impulsive to consolidate his "defense line."

The object made of nebulae seemed to circle around the escape cabin for two seconds, and then left.

The power supply to the escape cabin was restored, and everything was no longer translucent.

But the two seconds of this confrontation were as long as a thousand years in Talon's mind. When he realized that the burden on his mind had been lifted, his clothes were already wet with sweat, and the sound of tinnitus lingered around him.

Fatigue flooded his brain, and Talon could no longer hold on and fell to the ground to sleep.

It wasn't until Tarun woke up after an unknown amount of time that he subconsciously looked for the recorder.

It's a new day.

…

Somewhere in the galaxy.

The fleet of Szarak, Lord of Silence, is sailing through the void.

This place is far away from the front line of the war between humans and Necrons, but the powerful fleet of the Silent King did not go to the front line to support the Storm King. Instead, it sailed here, like a patrol fleet running around in an insignificant place.

And at the very rear of the King of Silence's fleet, in an unknown space, a human ship was following from a distance.

The original clones are in a human ship. The entire ship is highly intelligent, and they are the only ones on board.

"What's the point of us running around following the Necromancer Fleet like this?"

"But the method given by the narrator is this. If we don't follow them, are we going to find the needle in the haystack of the Milky Way by ourselves?"

"..."

The original clones discussed the current matter.

After the final discussion, Horus, who listened silently to the opinions of his brothers, turned to look at a man wearing heavy black stone armor.

That man was Lorga Aurelion.

During the Golden Crusade, Luojia was seriously injured by Corax himself, and then was automatically teleported away. After being cured, he returned.

Now that the cloning masters were sent out by Qin Mo to search for the Star Scroll, Luojia came here as the agent of the narrator who was the main source of information. Among all the cloning masters, he was considered a consultant.

When Horus's eyes fell on him, Luojia knew that it was time for him to express his opinion.

"We should follow Szarak's fleet." Luojia said calmly.

Then he repeated his reasons again.

That is, the Narrator gave a help to this operation. It told everything about the Star Scroll, and also told methods that might help the clones find the Star Scroll.

The solution is to follow Szarak's fleet.

The reason is that during the War in Heaven, the Star Gods and the Necrons wanted to disintegrate the defense line of the Ancient Saints that spanned the Milky Way, but no matter how the Storm King Imotek tried, any action would be detected by the Ancient Saints. It seemed that the only way to disintegrate the defense line of the Ancient Saints was to attack violently.

The Void Dragon proposed a solution, which was to use the Star God named Star Scroll. This Star God could use reality to hide the troops sent by Imotek, but it was not easy to find the Star Scroll.

At this time, a weak Star God named Seeker found the Void Dragon and helped the Void Dragon find the Star Scroll on the condition of obtaining shelter.

The Void Dragon asked the Seeker to find Szalak to convey his order to find the Star Scroll, and asked the Seeker to help Szalak find it.

There are only two people in the Milky Way who can find the Star Scroll, one is the Seeker who is unknown where he is now, and the other is Szalak who has found the Star Scroll.

This is the reason for following Szalak's fleet, which has been mentioned countless times by Lorgar during this period of time.

After hearing this reason again, Guilliman repeated his doubts: "Will Szahrak definitely go to find the Star Scroll? If it doesn't, then wouldn't it be in vain for us to follow it?"

"Then follow it." Lorgar said, "Otherwise, what can we do on the front line? Can we break into the atmosphere alone and sweep away thousands of enemies, or can we sneak in the world of the Necromancer's Tomb with technological prophecies and unimaginable detection methods, just like you did on the iron ring of the Iron Warriors?"

This time Lorgar gave a fairly convincing rebuttal.
