Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

A ship bearing the Black Hand's symbol breaks away from the warp.

When the people on Zack's ship saw the sign, they were trembling with fear, and immediately activated the dimension engine and sailed in a panic.

But before the ship jumped into the dimensional space, the Red Pirates' patrol warship was already ready for battle under the prompts of the wizard on the ship. A boarding torpedo was launched and crashed into the ship and entered the dimensional space.

Savin prevented a combat force of three thousand men from grabbing weapons and rushing to the location of the boarding torpedoes.

The new guard captain led this improvised army and set up defenses in the corridor in front of the boarding torpedoes.

Everyone huddled together and stared quietly ahead.

The front was filled with smoke and flames, and only bursts of metal collisions came from that side.

"Get ready for battle!" the new guard captain shouted.

Everyone raised their weapons and pointed them at the smoke, waiting for the enemy to come out of it and then fire.

But what came out of it was not an enemy, but six rounds of plasma.

These six rounds of plasma accurately killed six crew members holding melta weapons.

The situation instantly fell into chaos.

Six Red Corsair Space Marines burst out of the smoke armed with bolt pistols and power swords. They hunted down everyone who lost their organization, using power swords when they could have used bolt guns. Brutal killing.

Just six Space Marines shattered the defenses of three thousand men, turning the torpedo landing point into a slaughterhouse.

The surviving crew members are hiding in hiding XZ.

Savin was found by six Space Marines and forced to shut down the Dimension Engine and Geller Station before being killed after being rendered ineffective.

The situation on the entire ship was extremely chaotic.

…

One day later.

Zach, who was imprisoned in the dungeon, escaped the carnage that broke out on the ship. He was even able to rest for a while and immediately looked at the guard captain who was locked up with him after waking up.

The captain of the guard was lying by the porthole, kneeling, praying.

Zach crawled over curiously and took a look, and he found that the entire ship had been taken into subspace.

To the left and right of the ship is a fleet of red pirates.

People living in the 42K era are extremely familiar with the Black Hand logo of the Red Pirate Fleet.

"Why?" Zach heard the guard captain murmur, "Why did their entire fleet mobilize?"

"What happened?" Zach asked.

The guard captain then told him what happened to Zach while he was sleeping.

The ship was overtaken by the warships of the Red Pirates warband. The Red Pirates entered the ship and installed the subspace engine on the ship, and then the ship followed that warship into the subspace.

Soon more and more red pirate warships rushed to the ship, and there was even a huge void fortress in the shape of a six-pointed star.

The entire transport ship seemed to have become a flagship, becoming the focus of the red pirate war gang's fleet.

Even as the two were talking, two more cruisers entered the subspace and sailed to the right of the transport ship's location.

"How are you guys on the boat?" Zach asked.

The guard captain didn't answer, and handed over a monitor while praying to the emperor.

That was the display of the ship's monitoring link. When they were sailing in subspace, the guard captain used this screen to monitor every move of the crew to ensure that they remained loyal to Zach's family.

Zach looked at the monitor.

The screen shows the situation of every corner of the ship.

Some monstrous, deformed creatures loomed in the corridors.

The bridge has been transformed into an arena, and those who are still alive are sent into the arena to fight each other in a duel.

Those who survive will have the mark of the Red Pirate Warband branded on their faces and become slaves or soldiers of the warband.

Two Space Marines escorted the newly found two thousand people through the corridors and towards the arena.

The mortal soldiers on both sides of the corridor immediately knelt down to the two Space Marines. After they were gone, they got up from the ground, pulled the hundreds of women they had secretly hidden from the corners, and threw them into the dormitory.

"I..." Zach was so frightened that his breathing became rapid. He put down the monitor and did not dare to look at it anymore. He made an unbelievable request to the guard captain, "I have to save them, Saya, Ailon...them They are all suffering!”

Zach was talking about his two good friends. When his crazy Navigator father ruled the ship, Saya and Elon often secretly played with him. After the death of the Navigator father, Zach also suffered a lot. Take care of a close friend's relatives.

Seeing these people suffering was worse for Zach than death.

"You want to save them?" The guard captain trembled and turned his head blankly, his eyes dull, like a puppet.

"Yes!" Zach slapped the guard captain's arm, "Where's your gun? Give it to me. I'm going to save people!"

"Even if those people supported Savin not long ago and ignored you being imprisoned in the dungeon?" the captain asked.

"No one dared to stand up for me in that situation, and I understand them!" Zach said.

Hearing this, the guard captain's head shook up and down.

But he didn't hand over the gun.

"Your family has an inherited ability." The captain of the guard said, "Use psychic powers. Your entire family has strong psychic talents. As long as you can learn to use psychic powers, let alone save people, you can kill all these red people." Pirates are fine.”

"Then tell me how to use psychic powers!" Zach asked eagerly.

The guard captain reached behind his hand and took out a flower and handed it to Zach.

The flower looked like a creature, with a twisted, screaming human face on each leaf.

"Eat this." The guard captain put the flower into Zach's hand, "This is what your father gave me."

Zach hesitated.

No normal person would want to eat this disgusting looking flower.

Until the captain of the guard asked Zach: "Do you want to save people? Or do you actually hate those people and wish they were tortured to death by the red pirates?"

"I want to save people." Zach's eyes became firm and he grabbed the flower and stuffed it into his mouth.

Zach saw a lot in that moment.

A scientific researcher was looking at a man soaked in a jar with a third eye on his head: "Although psychic abilities cannot be inherited genetically, we can use scientific means to create a creature that is more likely to awaken psychic talents."

The screen flashed.

Two men with three eyes stood on the bridge of the ship. They knelt down like a handsome man with shining gold: "We will follow you forever until the empire and the entire human race conquer the galaxy again!"

The screen flashes again.

Zach saw himself, a baby lying in his mother's arms.

"The Navigator family has ended in our generation, and his psychic talent has been sealed."

"But...husband...how are we going to survive?"

"Escape, enter the warp, and never return to the Empire and the human race that betrayed us. They say we are mutants? Okay, then we will live as mutants."

Zach learned that his father had sealed his psychic talent a long time ago, and he continued to teach himself how to use psychic powers, just so that Zach would be able to use psychic powers immediately when the seal was lifted one day.

This is a valid decision.

"Thank you, father." Zach opened his eyes and raised his hand towards the welded metal gate.

A psychic impact was released, blasting the gate into pieces.

Zach stepped out of the dungeon and walked up the steps openly. He soon saw the six red pirate space warriors who had massacred the crew before.

Space Marines are synonymous with power in the eyes of mortals, but now they are not facing a mortal.

Zach just raised his hand, and screams and wails came from under the helmets of the six Space Marines, their souls being torn apart by psychic energy.

"I want revenge!"

"I want to save!"

Zach kills everyone in the ship and fights his way to the arena to save the crew.

The crew members immediately knelt down and confessed their previous wrong actions of loyalty to Savine.

Zack didn't blame them, but asked them to hide and activate the dimension engine secretly.

Eventually the ship left the subspace and slipped away from the Red Corsairs.

…

It's over.

Zack sat on the command throne on the bridge, his third eye glowing.

"We are about to leave the dimension space!"

"Estimated three seconds."

When the countdown ends, the ship leaves the dimensional space.

But what Zach didn't expect was that he discovered that the scene outside the porthole was not the real universe, but a subspace full of terrifying alien phenomena.

Zack started calling out to his crew, but all he heard in response were screams.

"No...no..." Zach shook his head in horror, but found that his head could not move at all. When he lowered his gaze to look at his body, he saw a meat ball that looked like an egg.

His face is embedded in the surface of the flesh ball.

The thin skin of the meat ball is constantly undulating, and you can see that the blue subspace energy is growing under the skin.

"This plan is not bad." A red pirate came forward and looked at Zach, "So we can start getting down to business?"

"Of course, the Lord of Changes' grand plan can finally be implemented." The wizard stepped forward and stroked the flesh ball that Zach had turned into. "The next step is to send it from now to the past time node."

Zach looked at everything in front of him in horror, and after realizing that he had just turned into a psyker and killing everyone was just an illusion, he started to go crazy and scream.

The entire bridge echoed with the boy's screams.

And in the subspace outside the ship, Tzeentch's wild laughter echoed.
