Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

Calvin's consciousness calmed down, but the "guests" in his body began their own carnival.

Three golden human creations with the same origin meet again after tens of thousands of years, whether it is the Bell of Erebus and the rope of Helios at home, or this giant metal ball that has just arrived.

They all showed extraordinary activity and excitement after meeting again after a long absence.

They seem to have a mechanism similar to group consciousness. The intensity of their consciousness is only instinctive when they are alone, but after gathering, it will increase exponentially as the number increases.

Calvin has done a lot of research on the Bell of Erebus and the Rope of Helios in the past, but he still can't figure out anything about their specific functional positioning in the ultimate creation of the golden human being. clues.

Apart from learning the names of the two artifacts from inside, Calvin received no more information.

But now this situation has changed.

When this newly added "part" merged with the other two artifacts, it obviously triggered some mechanism of them, thus gaining higher authority.

The three artifacts began to spontaneously absorb the liquid metal, and while making up for the missing parts of each, their functions in the original whole began to become more and more clear.

The appearance of the Clock of Erebus has not changed, but it has new functions internally. The spherical three-dimensional scale was originally composed of deep black, but now there is a little more silver starlight.

If Calvin were still conscious at this time, he would definitely be shocked by the message this artifact gave him:

The Bell of Erebus - a remnant of the Doomsday Ark's sensing and scanning array, was also the largest part of the 300 observation equipment in different directions at its peak.

Helios's rope has also grown significantly. The silver chain is covered with more exquisite and complicated patterns, and hidden inside these patterns are the physical energy circuits that have begun to spread throughout the entire chain.

Its original function is also quite special. It is an energy hub of the Ark's energy engine that can swallow black holes.

As for the last one, it is the newly acquired artifact - Selene's Veil, a special object called the Veil, which is actually a spherical part.

After it gained higher authority, its size barely changed. After swallowing most of the thousands of cubic meters of liquid metal on its own, subtle lines began to appear inside it and grew outward until it spread throughout the entire body like mosaics and leaves. Sphere surface.

It was not until this moment that the artifact called "Selene's Veil" truly revealed its function - the armor core of the Doomsday Ark, which can drive liquid metal to repair the battleship's armor and also serve as an energy shield for the battleship. of generator.

Calvin is still in a coma, but the spiritual energy emitted unconsciously is captured by this sphere, and it is this little bit of weak spiritual energy that is transformed into an indestructible energy shield by the sphere.

The lava outside the shield was still churning endlessly, but inside the shield, there was not much left of the originally huge liquid metal mass.

The evolution of the three artifacts is coming to an end, but a new problem arises for Calvin:

The three artifacts, which appeared in new forms, could not return to the spiritual state without Calvin's spiritual infusion, let alone be hidden in his soul again.

And the original body itself is a perfect body, and there is no mechanically modified part for them to host.

So in the unmanned state without the control of Calvin's consciousness, the three artifacts spontaneously activated the emergency mechanism.

After repeated confirmations, they turned their attention to the master-level finely crafted power armor that was already in a damaged state - Original Heart.

So, driven by the three artifacts, only a small portion of the psychic liquid metal remained, completely unknown to Calvin, and began to pour and erode into the gaps in the "original heart" armor.

The three artifacts also swallowed up and replaced the corresponding parts of the "original intention" in accordance with the standards of their respective functional positions.

The process of transformation begins with the outermost layer of armor, and "Selene's Veil" leads the entire process of erosion and replacement.

The liquid metal corrodes the surface layer of the mixture of ceramic steel and fine gold slowly but quickly, and then derives solid metal armor in place. A steady stream of liquid metal continues to penetrate inward, and then replaces the deep fine gold skeleton one by one.

Helios's rope was not idle either, and he turned his attention to the servo system of the armor.

The gorgeous chains spread all over Calvin's body, and then starting from Calvin's damaged leg armor, he changed the shape of the chains into a more slender and soft form, and began to work on the cables, energy circuits, servos and electromagnetic muscles inside the power armor. replace……

The last and earliest one is the Bell of Erebus, which was only added halfway through the transformation process of the first two.

This crystal ball-like artifact obviously has its own aesthetic. After repeated selections, it made its new home on Calvin's breastplate.

The original emblem on the reliquary in the middle of the chest, the imperial double-headed eagle grasping the sword and inserting it into the book, was changed. The proportion of the sword was obviously enlarged, and a crystal ball was left on the sword. Location.

And this is only a superficial change. Deeper in the armor, as the lines of Helios' rope are connected, some smaller crystal balls also appear on various joints of the power armor.

The three forces of transformation finally merged at Calvin's back. After swallowing up the heavy plasma-powered backpack, a long, narrow and dense metal spine also formed on the inner layer of the power armor.

The entire transformation process was completed within a few minutes, and at the moment when the metal spine was formed, as the energy shield failed, two dense rows of spikes protruded from the inside of all metal spines, and were heavily inserted into both sides of the original body's spine. side!

hiss!

The severe pain caused Calvin's consciousness to go online instantly. He had no time to observe the current situation on his body. The original body subconsciously drove the psychic energy into the power armor. While transforming into a shield through the psychic cable, the whole body suddenly exerted force and stepped on it. The meteorite beneath his feet jumped upwards.

Then he was shocked by his speed, because the feedback given by his original intention and the output of the electromagnetic muscles were completely beyond his imagination.

The body of the original body was like a missile. While smashing the meteorite under his feet, it also smashed his body, which now weighed more than 10,000 tons, into the molten magma.

Boom!

Silent impacts and explosions occurred deep underground, and then, under the conduction of magma without any elasticity, two small earthquakes were created on the surface of the Serind Crater that were almost indistinguishable - one was caused by the force of the meteorite. Suddenly downward, once Calvin himself rushed straight up.

Fine dust jumped from the ground, and the heavy forge tilted slightly.

With the crater as the center, the observation equipment throughout the Hepper Forge World faithfully recorded these data. The high-ranking priests waiting in orbit looked at each other in suffocating silence.

Boom!

There was another weak oscillation, but the data from the scanning array showed that the source of the oscillation was quickly approaching the surface.

Before anyone could react, there was another more obvious and violent roar. The lava sea in Selind began to violently churn, and a silver figure jumped out of it!
