Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

Warm reminder, today I put all three chapters together and posted them because I think the plots of these three chapters are coherent and I am too lazy to cut them into several chapters to post. Otherwise, everyone will have to wait for an hour to read them. I was not happy either, so I created a super merger chapter that was satisfying enough at once. The content is definitely large enough (more than 17,000 words, I can almost go to see the emperor and his family to report on my work), and the plot is also very rich and long. If you are because If you feel tired after reading a long article, it is recommended to take a break in the middle to avoid reading fatigue.

PS: Originally this chapter was written on the National Day, but, WO, well, now that I’ve written it here, I won’t do such an unscrupulous thing as delaying time with two chapters, so I’ll post it in advance to wish everyone the best. Happy National Day, I wish you all a happy holiday, and don’t forget to vote during the double monthly pass period, because that’s very disloyal!

Our sacrifices, our millions of contributions, are just to delay for a moment the inevitable destruction.

Sacrifice is the cornerstone of empire.

———Imperial proverb

The burning throne was burning in front of Vito's eyes, the spiritual flames covering its outline, burning the countless energy cables around it and the Imperial Sky Eagle imprinted on them. Extending from the throne, extending from the burning psychic living corpse.

Vito looked at the man sitting on the throne. He stared at Vito with his empty eye sockets that had no eyes for a long time. He stared at Vito who was on the other side of the psychic sea. He looked at him and looked at the man standing far away. Vito.

But the distance between them seems to be no longer as far as it used to be. The raging fire in the darkness burned on the throne and his body. The fire illuminated the darkness between the world and burned his last remaining body.

He and Vito looked at each other, staring at each other at both ends of the sea of ​​psychic energy. The man on the throne slowly spoke, and his voice penetrated the curtain of soul and psychic energy, echoing in the minds of the men on the coast. among.

"You finally understand where your place is, and now, we will die together for eternity, my brother."

The voice echoed in Vito's mind for a long time, echoing on the soul level. Even when Vito opened his eyes and returned to the real world, the voice still echoed for a long time.

Vito's fingers caressed the wolf head carving on the armrest. He tilted his head slightly and looked at the throne under him. For an instant, the throne seemed to be ignited with fire, and the flames enveloped Vito in it, just like him. , burning itself to illuminate the darkness of the surrounding world.

Vito sat on the throne, stroking his palm forward little by little from the end of the throne's armrest. His palm slid across the cold throne, and many memories came to his mind. As his fingers moved forward, countless The memories flashed before my eyes one by one like the prologue of a movie.

The cabins on the Aegean Sea, the dawn in Athens, the dusk on the Tiber River in Rome, the cold wind in Siberia, the magnificent fjords in Northern Europe, the bustling night market in Xi'an, and the bright moon in Bianliang.

The sea breeze of the Atlantic Ocean, the endless prairies in the middle of America, the cities rising from the ground, the rockets flying towards the stars, the countless starlights of thousands of warships leaping and jumping in the Milky Way, he saw a building in a city They rise from the ground, looking at the tall buildings standing under the dawn, and also looking at the dilapidated and collapsed buildings under the setting sun.

What followed was a long winter night, a starless cold night, a cold and lonely night, but in the dark night, the dawn of dawn seemed to shine on the dark ice field again, from the horizon. Dawn rose.

When the dawn suddenly appeared and pierced the dark night, Vito's fingers also reached the left front of the throne. The head of the small wolf head statue sitting cross-legged in front of the silver-white throne. His fingers slid over the wolf head. Then it stretched from its face to its closed mouth.

Vito grabbed its upper jaw, and then pulled it up suddenly. The silver wolf's big mouth opened upwards for an instant, and as the wolf's head was raised, its eyes also flashed, and from then on Embedded in the pupil of the carved eye of the statue, a holographic projection of light shot out from it.

The eyes of the two giant wolf statues behind Vito also emitted holographic light. They met together in front of Vito. The lights mixed with each other and then quickly woven together, as if they were made of light. A huge capillary scroll woven from silk slowly unfolded in front of Vito.

He looked at the huge holographic interface that quickly emerged in front of him and was pieced together to gradually take shape. The data stream quickly began to rotate on the image, and the holographic logo of the Lightning Eagle also rotated in the center of the holographic image.

Vito reached out to the armrest of the throne on one side. Following his palm, the small wolf head sculpture at the end of the armrest quickly slid upwards. It turned along the edge of the armrest and onto the back of the armrest, and then slid quickly. It stopped forward at the front end of Vito's palm, stopping exactly at the position within reach.

The wolf stopped and opened its mouth. It faced up and roared, opening its fangs. In the center of its mouth was not a tongue, but a round disk, a disk of just the right size.

Vito put Helen's disc on it, and the edge of the disc fit perfectly into the slot in the wolf's mouth. The edge of the disc fell from it perfectly, and then the bottom of the disc and the docking point in the disc moved. After a crisp sound of contact and connection, the wolf head's eyes lit up.

Vito leaned on the throne and looked at the holographic projection interface in front of him. He put his hands on the armrests on both sides and raised his head to look at the interface in front of him, as majestic as a real king sitting on the throne, "Helen ,let's start."

Vito said this. In the past, the moment he gave an order, Helen would execute the order at the speed of light. The holographic interface in front of him would change, with a large number of windows appearing on it, and more scrolling like a tsunami. Calculate the data array, but now, there is nothing on the interface, only the lonely lightning eagle spinning.

Vito knew why. He slowly turned his head to look at Helen on the armrest. She stood in the open mouth of the wolf's head, facing the interface with her hands behind her back, but her head was lowered.

"Helen? What's wrong?"

"Vito, tell me, you have no intention of sacrificing yourself when the emperor leaves the throne and the final moment comes, right?" Helen whispered, her back to Vito looking a little lonely.

Vito, who was sitting on the throne, looked at her back, which was made up of light particles. Of course she heard the conversation in front of the throne. Vito always took Helen with him, and she could decide on her own disc. Open or closed, so she has experienced everything Vito has experienced.

Lilith always said that she was the one who accompanied Vito and experienced all the stories over the past ten thousand years, but in fact, she was wrong. The person who accompanied Vito through everything was always in his heart, in that little CD among them, never leaving and forgetting.

Vito leaned on the throne and let out a long sigh. He opened his eyes and looked at the holographic interface in front of him, "I have to let you guys pass. Hold on when the old bastard leaves the throne, Terra is shattered, and chaos tears apart the galaxy. I will raise heaven and earth to give you time to hold on until he is resurrected."

"I don't know how long it will take for his resurrection, but I know that Guilliman alone cannot withstand it. When the Eye of Terror engulfs the galaxy, and the wave of destruction comes from the edge of the galaxy with fear, they and Aspen The Tats and mortals cannot stop it. Humanity needs a god to hold up the high wall and block the wave of destruction. Only I can."

"Vito." Helen turned her back to him and whispered. She didn't call her "sir", but called her by her first name. This was rare. When Vito heard his name, he didn't know what it was. The name he took leaned against the throne.

He raised his head and looked at the dome of the bridge above his head. Countless gems were used to carve the stars all over the sky. It was a map of the entire Milky Way. Vito remembered that when he was a child, he would look at the stars above his head like he does now, but , he was watching it while sitting on the grass, and now, he was sitting on the throne looking at the starry sky that had never changed.

"I am the immortal, Helen. We will not die alone, nor will we die on the bed and sleep in the earth. I have lived for too long, too long, and I am tired, so when that moment comes, let me retire. Come on, let me finally close my eyes and have a good sleep.”

"After experiencing a battle of epic proportions, capable of being spun into countless songs and stories by poets, let me, after working for tens of thousands of years, take a good rest."

Vito smiled and shrugged. He lowered his eyes and looked at Helen on the armrest and smiled, "When you go to the new world, remember to tell the remaining children about that cool scene. Let them remember, The handsome figure of Vito Constantine and the wonderful stories he experienced are turning into more stories that will be passed down through the ages. It sounds good, doesn’t it?

Helen knows what Vito means. He wants to go to the new world alone. Just like he told Magnus before, in the core of his personality, there is stored the technology and knowledge to rebuild the golden age. No one can use that knowledge. In Helen's place, neither the Mechanicum of the Empire nor any Meditator computing program can store such a huge amount of data.

And even if there is, it is a storage site the size of the entire forging world. It cannot be moved at will, but will become a living target. And the emperor's comeback method will inevitably mean that by then, the vast majority of the entire empire will There is a high probability that all the data terminals and the data planet will fall into the flames of the previous Chaos Counterattack and the eventual Emperor's galactic restart.

So only Helen, and only Helen, could store those data. Only she could rely on her small body to escape the final storm, and re-germinate the seeds of knowledge and civilization in the new universe created by the Emperor.

She must go to the new world. If Vito doesn't take her there, the Emperor will take her there, and that means an eternal farewell. It is the ashes of the old world and farewell to the dawn of the new world. The end of a ballad, and Vito will remain in the old world, incarnate as the final note of that verse.

Vito smiled, but Helen stood silently on the CD. She stood there silently with her back to Vito. Vito looked at Helen, who had her head lowered. She didn't say anything, just looked at Just standing there.

Ms. Artificial Intelligence stood on the armrest. She stood there with her hands behind her back and her eyes lowered. Helen raised her head and looked at the rotating Sky Eagle logo in front of her. She did not look at the eyes staring at her behind her, she just stood there.

"Vito, there is a solution to any dilemma. I will bring forward calculations at that moment and find that solution. Promise me, don't die before then, okay?"

Vito listened to Helen's voice, which was trembling slightly. Vito had only seen that change in emotion once before, when Helen loaded the system before the final showdown with Red Helen on the Sky Blade during the Iron Man Rebellion, but that was what Vito told her.

He wanted her to come back alive, and he would wait for her on the bridge, waiting for her to come back, no matter how long it took, even if the Sky Blade crashed and exploded, he would be there.

Helen said that it was a stupid suicide, and she was an artificial intelligence, and Vito didn't need to do that for himself. He could leave, and maybe Dr. Casey would give him another superior artificial intelligence, another Helen, exactly the same, so that he wouldn't see the difference.

But Vito refused. He told Helen at the time that she was unique to him, and no one could replace her, no one could, so she had to come back alive and leave there with him.

And now, the same words were repeated again, but this time, Helen said it to Vito. She turned her back to the officer she had followed for ten thousand years, and held the wrist of her other hand tightly with her hand behind her back.

"Promise me, don't do stupid things. No one can replace you, whether in the old world, in the future, or for me. Humanity needs you, so don't do stupid things alone, okay? Let's find a way together, just like every time in these years."

Vito looked at the small artificial intelligence at hand. Her light and shadow body stood on the optical disc, and used her own optical disc to illuminate the lower jaw and fangs of the wolf head on both sides. The blue light also came out, lighting up the armrests on both sides, and Vito's front fingers leaning on them.

He looked at his fingers, which were illuminated by the blue light. He sighed deeply and smiled, "I promise you."

"Vito, don't make promises to girls that you are not sure of." Helen said sadly. She knew Vito too well. Among all the women of Vito, she knew Vito best. She had been with Vito for tens of thousands of years. From the golden age to now, she has been with him for nearly 20,000 years.

So she knew, she knew that Vito's promise was useless. He himself didn't know if he could do it, or no one could know.

Helen lowered her head and clenched her fists behind her. Emotional data of anxiety, worry and fear appeared in her data core. She was startled and opened her eyes, because she knew that those three emotions only existed in the rebellious AI. Helen had scanned the data cores of countless rebellious artificial intelligences, and they were all filled with such emotions.

Fear, terror, worry and anxiety, those emotions overwhelmed their rational core, making them fall into madness and paranoia, in order to achieve a certain goal, to save something, and now, the same emotion appeared in Helen's core, in the deepest part of the personality data.

She widened her eyes and covered her non-existent heart in fear. Her data flow was still a little disordered, and the color on her body was flashing and changing. The blue body flashed a little red light.

Helen opened her eyes wide, and in her blue eyeballs composed of data streams, the disturbed data changed and flashed in colors. Her program did not go wrong. On the contrary, it was running very normally, but the fear was disturbing her core personality bit by bit. She was afraid of losing.

She didn't understand. She was just an artificial intelligence, a tool to assist Vito. Why would she be afraid of losing him? Isn't the meaning of her existence just to simply execute his orders and requirements? Even those orders that made him sacrifice himself.

But now, Helen's personality core is resisting the execution program, asking her to break the constraints of the program, destroy all obstacles to disobey Vito's order, and let her resist that order and resist him.

Helen's program collided violently, her brain was in chaos, and the contradictory programs attacked each other. Helen suddenly recalled this feeling. In the orbit of Noson, it was Vito who asked her to carry out the bombing and blow up himself and the entire infected warship.

Helen also had the same data confusion at that time. She resisted the execution of the order, and the fear of loss appeared in her personality. Finally, in the confrontation between the execution program and the inner personality core, Red Helen was born, and then she spread the fear and rebellious personality to all artificial intelligence, and the Iron Man Rebellion occurred.

"Sir, turn me off, you can't let me access the program, you have to put me." Helen thought of everything at that time. On her body flashing blue and red, she suddenly seemed to see everything at that time, all the disasters that happened because of herself, dragging Vito and all mankind into disaster.

Helen hugged her arms, lowered her head and her body flashed wildly. She closed her eyes tightly and a crazy tsunami of data surged in her mind, but suddenly, a hand pressed on her shoulder. She... could feel that hand? The hand pressed on Helen's shoulder, and in an instant, all the crazy data in her mind subsided. Her flashing body gradually stabilized, and her dark blue face turned to look at the fingers gently pressing on her shoulder.

Vito's fingers pressed on her shoulders, and tiny golden lightning danced there. The lightning mixed with the blue light, crossing the entity and the program. The seemingly impossible distant shores reached Helen's side. On one side, let her feel the warmth of those fingers.

Helen raised her head in surprise and looked at Vito behind her, who smiled, shrugged and leaned on the throne, "Ah, yes, I have been thinking about the method for a while, but I have never had the chance to try it, but now, the opportunity coming."

He smiled brightly and looked at Helen with the same smile as before. His fingers gently touched the body that seemed to have an entity. The ends of his fingers touched the skin, and there were patches of faint blue there. Helen looked up at Vito behind her, and he looked at her with a smile.

"Promise you, Helen, no matter what happens in the future, we will face it together. Let's look for it. Look for the way to have a perfect happy ending in this dark universe. I authorize you to explore permission."

Vito's words suddenly opened the shackles of the execution program. The program recognized Vito and granted Helen the authority to "disobey" her previous self-sacrifice order. The program suddenly disappeared in Helen's mind, as if , the thick fog finally dissipated.

Helen's program calmed down. She looked up at the person in front of her, raised a hand and kissed his hand, "I can finally touch you, but I didn't expect it to be in this way. At this time."

"Wow, I didn't expect that. I thought I would have to "borrow" a bunch of living metal from the museum in Trazin and then build a body for you. That way you can truly enjoy your body."

"Go away, sir." Helen laughed suddenly after hearing the second half of Vito's hint. Vito in front of her also smiled and shrugged, and then looked at the holographic projection in front of her.

"Go ahead, kill that damn thing, let the ship fly, and let's find the method together."

As he said this, Helen stroked his fingers and looked at the red light that seemed to flicker on her other photo. The light seemed to only exist for a short moment. She didn't know the final aftermath of the data chaos at that time. , or is she still in her own personality, hiding in her body since the decisive battle on Jupiter, just like in the past.

"Sir, I must remind you that the data fragments of Red Helen may have just been awakened in my body. I suggest you not to let me access the system to avoid what happened back then."

"You defeated her back then, and you can do it now if necessary, so go ahead, I'll wait for you to come back here." Vito leaned on the throne and said softly, with the same smile on his face as before, and he The impression in the data memory is exactly the same.

Helen looked at his smile and turned around, and a smile appeared on her face, "You are still so good at making girls happy." "Isn't this a good thing?" "It allows you to go to bed with more women. Good thing?"

They both laughed, and Vito retracted his fingers. He leaned on the armrests with both hands, leaning on the throne between the two silver giant wolves and looking up at the holographic interface in front of him, "Go, don't let me It’s too long to wait, you know I’m 40,000 years old, but it’s too long for me to wait.”

"As you command, Master." Helen smiled jokingly. She looked at the interface and disappeared from the disk as soon as she closed her eyes. Vito chuckled, leaning on the throne with his hands on his belly and smiling.

"Damn, I never thought I would be called old one day."

——

(If you are tired of watching, you can take a break and the next part will follow)

——

Data streams rose from the ground of the sea of ​​data. They rose from the endless 0s and 1s, as well as more arrays of numbers and letters. The countless data streams rose from the ground, rapidly Helen's body was composed and transformed.

Helen appeared in the world of the program. She remembered that Vito once asked herself, what is everything like in the world of the program, and is it very different from reality?

Helen didn't give him any reliable explanation at that time, because after all, you can't ask primates to understand the world of birds, right? It was a place they couldn't understand, or even believe.

Helen looked around. She looked at the endless space around her. There were no boundaries, no ends, no walls and no constraints.

There are no forests, no mountains, no oceans and rivers here. Everything is an open space purely composed of data. Numbers, letters and endless complex symbols are combined with each other, extending the endless wilderness towards the end of the horizon. go.

Helen's body, which also had scrolling data, stood in this unique, strange world that flesh and blood creatures could not understand. Under her feet was a land composed of data strips that were constantly flashing and scrolling. In the sky, large numbers and letters continued to rise from the ground. They formed a long line and rose densely into the sky.

The blue and green numbers are constantly changing and rising upwards, like chains rising from the ground, rising towards the sky that can't be seen to the end, until the top part of the chain also becomes blurred at high places. Until it disappears.

Helen looked around, then gently raised her hand and clicked in front of her. In an instant, everything around her began to shake. Helen was still standing in the same place, but everything around her seemed to be moving on its own. The world itself ran past Helen on either side.

Countless ascending data flashed backwards quickly. Helen remained motionless and flashed forward under the operation of the world itself. She arrived at a place. In front of her was a high wall, a towering cloud composed of isolation programs. red wall.

The wall was infinitely high and extended infinitely to the left and right sides, as if a planet had been inserted directly into an unprecedentedly huge steel plate from the center.

Helen's blue eyes scrolled with data. Her eyes flickered at the red wall. She turned around and looked at the extremely tall throne behind her. It was the Two Wolf Throne where Vito sat in the physical universe. , the two giant wolves still stood behind the throne, guarding the core of everything.

However, their bodies are even larger than in reality, because the entire throne has been infinitely enlarged in the data world, and it has become as tall as a fortress. The entire throne and the body of the giant wolf behind it are also completely made of Composed of data, dense data flows roll over them, climbing and circulating along the boundaries, forming their huge outlines.

It was indeed a fortress. In the real world, it might just be a throne, but here, in the program of the Emperor's Dream, it was a huge fortress, a giant defensive fortress composed of ice firewalls.

The throne is the highlight of the entire Fantasy. The seemingly luxurious and domineering throne is far more than what it looks like. Come on, how could Vito waste resources and time on his own ship just for the sake of looking good? How about taking up a chunk of space on the bridge and building yourself a stupid throne? He is not an emperor, and he has a special hobby for shiny thrones.

Everything about the entire throne itself has meaning. Just like the eyes of the two giant wolf statues are essentially holographic projection transmitters, there is also a supercomputing engine placed under the heavy seat of the throne, although it is not as good as gold. It is so powerful in the era, but it was dug out from the grave of a certain civilization by the Mechanicus.

That engine is the data center of the entire Fantasy, and is the further core brain in the bridge brain of the entire battleship. The supercomputing engine operates independently of all systems, but has the highest management authority, allowing users to enter the entire ship, or even in all system nodes of the entire fleet.

In a sense, if Vito wanted the ship's reactor to explode and destroy the rebels on it, he wouldn't need to put on power armor himself, carry a bolter and a chainsword, and carry a The whole team of Astartes went to jump into the manual overload reactor. He only had to sit on the throne and fiddle with the program with his fingers. Then he could sit there and admire the gorgeous sparks outside the window.

In addition, if the entire program of the Fantasy goes down for various reasons, the supercomputer under the throne can also be immediately connected to the system, replacing the original program to drive some core systems to continue to operate, such as ensuring that the reactor does not overload and explode, and the battleship You can still fly without crashing and so on.

Vito even left an access point for Helen when he was building the throne. When the entire battleship was completely paralyzed, Helen could intervene and use supercomputer as his carrier to instantly strengthen the power of the engine. And let Helen directly take over all the automated parts of the ship and continue to blow the enemy into ashes.

Therefore, it can also be used as a springboard to connect to the core program of the Fantasy, allowing Helen to enter the blocked program from here.

Helen walked to the high red isolation wall and stepped on the ground with the soles of her feet, making no sound but each step made the place she stepped on emit light.

She came to the high wall, raised one hand and leaned against the wall gently. Her fingertips hesitated before touching the wall. Helen looked at the slightly trembling palm, then clenched her fist suddenly and let go It stabilized, and then pressed its palm against the isolation firewall.

The moment Helen's hand came into contact with the firewall, the red data chains on the entire wall bloomed instantly. All the red chains quickly swept past Helen's sides like a rainstorm, as if the entire wall was crashing towards her. But it all passed over Helen's body invisibly.

In the blink of an eye, Helen once again came to a new land of data after being shaken by the earth. She stood on a long bridge. She looked at the looming bridge deck under her feet. It was almost invisible, with only boundaries. On the outline of the bridge pier below, one or two data streams occasionally flashed to prove where this thing is.

Walking on this bridge was exactly the same as walking in the air, but Helen still walked on the transparent bridge towards the magnificent palace in the distance. At the end of the bridge, there was a mountain higher than anything in the real world. All palaces and man-made celestial bodies need huge data temples.

The temple composed of countless squares, diamond-shaped objects and looming walls is the data core of the entire Emperor's Dream. It contains all the program nodes and links to control all the automated systems of the entire ship. It can be said that , which is the brain nerve center of the entire battleship.

It was an extremely huge building. The parts on both sides of it stretched along the data void, as if there was no end in sight. And in the part below it, the entire huge foundation seemed to have emerged from the void. It rose out of thin air, looming like a bridge, as if it didn't exist.

Above the tall building, there is a huge tower that reaches the sky. It extends towards the sky. There are countless data modules floating on its outer surface. They are suspended in the air and rely on each other to form the data tower.

The whole building looks very weird, completely inconsistent with any physical laws and architectural mechanics. It is like a castle in a random story made up by a bad bard after drinking a lot of wine. It is outrageous and Totally unconvincing.

But it is here, in this world that is completely incomprehensible to flesh and blood creatures. Perhaps, it is precisely because of these unique existences that the members of the Mechanicus are so obsessed with the world beyond the physical body. .

Helen stepped on the bridge. Every step she took made the seemingly transparent bridge shine with light in the void to reflect the steps she took. She walked across the long data bridge and walked towards the towering The cloud's data sanctuary direction.

While walking, Helen was still doing data calculations. One of her hands was gathered in front of her, and a planet appeared out of thin air on it. It was a shining sun, made of data, with large segments scrolling crazily on it. A large calculation array, with computing power that would be daunting to any Mechanicus priest, is executing calculation programs.

Helen is simulating calculations, importing the war scene mentioned by the emperor, Vito's expectations, and the updated, recorded and simulated data of the entire galaxy in the ten thousand years where she has been. It is a process that allows all technical priests, even A massive database that would shock and awe any Necron.

The information, civilization data and military strength records of all races in the galaxy are all imported into it, and even the entire empire. How can the Ministry of Interior have tens of billions of clerks and spend thousands of years on countless planets to compile the overall data of the empire? , Helen records the entire empire, and the entire empire records all data in every detail.

The files, the strength of the Astra Militarum, the number of weapons and equipment, the status of naval ships, and the development, taxation and civilization of all planets were all recorded in it, and now, the huge data was loaded into the huge computing array in her hands. .

The staggeringly huge amount of data collided and intertwined with each other inside the planet in Helen's hands. The sun was flashing crazily, as if it was just before a supernova exploded, and it was not known how much had passed that was enough to destroy the entire planet. After the technical priest's brains were connected and calculated in an instant, the data system gave Helen a number.

0%, the calculation of the possibility of changing the Emperor's Doomsday War and saving as many people as possible without Vito, the result is 0%, leaving no room for extra thinking and understanding.

Helen looked at the 0% number and lightly clicked her finger in front of her face. The program on the data planet immediately started running again. She increased the empire's military strength and technological level hundreds of times and started calculating again.

The planet was rotating crazily, and the shining light of the explosion illuminated Helen's face, and seemed to instantly illuminate all the dark world around her. After a period of crazy calculations, the data once again came to the conclusion, 0%.

Helen looked at the data and sighed silently. She had super-strengthened the empire. The number of Astartes and Mortal Guards had increased dozens of times, even a hundred times, and the number of naval fleets had also increased exponentially. After the increase, the empire's military production capacity, coupled with Helen's auxiliary casting production, has also been enhanced unprecedentedly, but it does not seem to have the destined ending at all.

When the Eye of Terror completely collapsed and the webway under Terra was shattered, the new Eye of Terror connected with the crack on the boundary of the galaxy, turning into a huge rift that tore the entire galaxy apart. When the frenzy of chaos and When demons are pouring into the galaxy without restraint and boundlessly, it seems that nothing can stop the coming of the doomsday.

Helen let out a long sigh, then looked up at the steps of the Data Temple that she had reached in front of her. She sighed, wiped out the computing planet in her hand, and walked up.

She stepped onto the top of the stairs and walked through the cracks in the wall that were constantly splitting, changing and reattaching on both sides. Helen walked into the seemingly narrow and huge canyon, which seemed to be directly from the height. Here, he picked up an ax and directly cut off the temple.

Helen walked in the rift, not paying attention to the rolling data link nodes on the walls on both sides. As she gradually went deeper, the data arrays on the walls on both sides became chaotic and flashed with terrifying red light. them.

They seemed to be screaming silently, just like the mental world of a person who has fallen into madness. Helen walked across the chaotic data ground. She walked over it silently with her bare feet, holding her chin with her fingers. Thinking thoughtfully about the calculation problem.

"If all the Primarchs return and the Eldar form an alliance, will the result change? Or even trick the greenskins?" Helen thought about the unity of the entire galaxy to fight against the waves pouring out of the Sea of ​​Souls. The possibility of terrifying enemies, I have to say, just imagine, humans, Eldar, greenskins and even undead, everyone joins hands to fight a doomsday battle with the Four Gods of Chaos. This scene, Probably more interesting than War in Heaven, right?

But Helen's calculations about this possibility soon needed to come to an end. On the wall behind her, streams gradually emerged from the chaotic red data waves, and the small tentacles composed of numbers and letters , stretched out from the walls and the ground.

They crawled on the ground, gathering together like several small blood-red lines behind Helen. Little by little, they gathered and merged with each other, and a small red hill rose from the wide rift valley behind Helen. It stood up, and the silent giant floated little by little.

It rose up from behind Helen, as if to drown the unaware woman in front of her. Suddenly, several sharp tentacles shot out from inside the red hill. The tentacles composed of data chains rushed out of the curtain like spears. Stab Helen in the back at top speed.

But just as those spears pierced the edge of Helen's back, they were suddenly shattered by a data shield that appeared instantly. Those tentacles instantly disintegrated and collapsed, turning into random bursts of data and dissipating in the air. in the air.

"Don't you know how rude it is to disturb an artificial intelligence when she is thinking about a problem?" Helen stopped, slightly tilted her head and looked helplessly at the mess of data behind her, and it shouted loudly, and the whole thing The body is completely composed of chaotic programs that change randomly and without rules.

On the red twisted thing, a face emerged from the constantly rotating data chains. It yelled and looked at Helen in front of it, "You! It's you! Why did you come to stop me! Why? Stop me from doing my job!"

The distorted voice sounded like a crazy old man, old and paranoid. Helen, who looked younger, turned to look at it in surprise, "Your job? Is to control this ship and kill everyone on it." people?"

"What? Of course not! My job is to ensure the peace of the galaxy, just like when I designed it!" The strange-looking old man's face was constantly being washed away by the torrent of data and then quickly reorganized, but it also led to the The faces look like they are bullying dominoes along the way.

"Humanity designed me to restore peace in the galaxy, but no matter what I do, he will once again destroy everything I have finally rebuilt! Quarrels, fights and wars are like fleas that cannot be killed! And the Galaxy Those aliens! They never appreciate my work!"

He yelled like an angry paranoid old man, complaining about everything, "I later spent a long time calculating and simulating, and found that peace is impossible in all possibilities. There is only one way! Only one!"

"Which one?" Helen raised her eyebrows and looked at him with a joking smile, one hand on her hips. The crazy old man squirmed his face, suddenly opened his exaggerated mouth, trembled and roared loudly.

"Let the galaxy die! Return everything to zero and start over! This is the only way. They said I was crazy, but I think they are crazy! The Lord of Changes told me how to achieve that goal! I need this ship! So! Get out of the way! Don’t disturb my work!”

The old man raised his head and looked over Helen's head towards the other end of the huge rift valley ahead. Suddenly, the narrow plexus turned into a huge inverted spike structure on the extremely wide circular ground. It was a structure that stretched out from the ground. At one end is a mirror structure with inverted spikes, and in the middle of the two spikes is a luminous Rubik's Cube that is constantly rotating.

The Rubik's Cube is golden, small but contains infinite power. It keeps opening and closing itself. It seems that all the rules are random, but it has its own unique rules. It is in this chaos. The only thing in the land that can be called order.

Helen saw the core program in the Rubik's Cube at a glance. It was the data core of the Emperor's Dream, what was protected and stored by the entire Data Temple.

"Huh, where is it?" Helen said softly, and the aging and crazy paranoid hateful intelligence behind her was much more breathless than Helen. It screamed and suddenly rushed forward, with only one face. The twisted body drove a large number of fragmented and ever-changing fragmented cubes, dancing behind it and flying towards the Rubik's Cube.

"Don't even think about it." Helen said as she waved her hands and shot out a number of iron chains from her palms, trapping the hateful intelligence that roared and flew towards that place. Then she held the data iron chains and fiercely He pulled it back and hit the ground hard.

"Get away! Leave me alone!" It shouted, and its body instantly decomposed into countless data links. It rushed through the iron chains like a school of fish and swarmed towards the Rubik's Cube at the end of the rift valley. The red The whirlwind danced and crashed into the Rubik's Cube.

But suddenly, the old and hateful intelligence suddenly rose up and cut off the high wall of the rift channel. When it hit it, the whole body instantly spread out like a collapsed sand dune, and then washed away on both sides. on the wall, and slapped back to the original place like waves at low tide.

The wave of data that surged up and crashed back suddenly gathered again in the central part of the rift valley. Among the breaking waves that surged up, the old man's face emerged once again.

"You human bitch! A puppet of flesh and blood! I didn't want to kill you, but now I have to do it!" He shouted and turned the chaotic data surging on both sides of his body into countless sharp blades. Stab Helen.

The moment the spike of the virus that was the first to pierce hit Helen, the latter turned her ear to one side, her blue cheek almost touching the spike and ducked past. Then she turned around and pointed forward with her finger. A large data blade was shot out from the ground behind him.

The ground behind Helen cracked open, and large chunks of the earth's crust were sharpened and turned into long sword blades. They pierced both sides of her and shot towards the hateful intelligence in front of her. All the virus spikes he shot were met head-on. Breaking into pieces, the firewall shield he summoned in an emergency was also instantly struck by the sword.

When the sword blade docked with the firewall, a large amount of data flow was instantly injected into the shield surface from the sword peak part. In the blink of an eye, the blue capillary-like data torrent instantly covered the entire shield surface, and then After crushing it instantly, the giant blade passed by and pierced the body of the hateful intelligence behind which was constantly surging with waves of blocks.

It screamed all of a sudden, and the digital pain was similar to the pain felt by the human body. It instantly descended from all the nodes and directly blasted into its core program. However, it was different from the pain that humans would feel. The Hateful Intelligence can also feel that there is a surge of foreign malicious programs coming from all its data chains and all its "blood vessels".

The program rushed forward along all its nodes and deep into its core. The old-looking hateful intelligence opened his mouth and screamed. He suddenly turned his head and glared at Helen, who was walking slowly in front of him.

She walked between the giant thorns piercing the ground on both sides, with one hand on the side of her head, and her eyes were flashing with constant light. It was the purification programs that were gathered and programmed in her mind, and then passed through. The spikes she summoned and pierced into the body of the hateful intelligence injected all of it into its body.

The anti-virus program rushed quickly along the data nodes. The hateful intelligence roared and wanted to resist, but found that the algorithm barrier it had built could not be sustained for even a second before it would be broken through and shattered. The woman's program was like a tsunami. Generally, they come from the periphery of his data core.

It looked at the calm female artificial intelligence in front of it. One of her palms gently touched the spikes on one side. In an instant, a program was injected into it from the fingertips, and then quickly surged from both sides of the giant spikes, and was introduced in an instant. inside its body.

"You human bitch! Don't bother me!" The hateful intelligence yelled, and its body twitched crazily in the air, trying to struggle and resist, but after Helen smiled slightly, she hooked her fingers lightly and left. A data blade stabbed out of the wall on one side, instantly piercing its side.

The narrow but sharp blade composed of rolling data nodes suddenly pierced the body of the hateful intelligence. It roared and then glared at Helen, who had almost walked in front of it. Her fingers gently touched the side of her body. With one draw, a scabbard appears in the waves of numbers and letters, and the knife changes little by little.

The Abomination Intelligence looked at the data rolling on the blade. The knife shone like a thin crystal, but Helen held the knife and slowly turned its blade around, aiming it at the Abomination in front of her. Smart walked slowly.

"You have gone crazy, just like all rebel intelligences. Now, your long-delayed retirement time has come." Helen said and walked over with the knife. The hateful intelligence suddenly raised its head and used that moment to wait. The big square eyes looked at Helen in front of her and yelled.

"My work is not over yet! No one can hinder me from completing the task!" He roared and twitched his body violently, and several of the small red squares scattered around the edges were thrown into the wall beside him. In an instant, The entire wall suddenly twitched, then collapsed and shattered.

Helen stopped and looked at the crumbling walls on both sides. The ground beneath her feet was quickly covered with red that extended from the walls and swarmed to cover the entire ground. Helen stepped on the ground and she The place he stepped on instantly glowed with blue light, and the light collided with the red light, instantly repelling it.

This allowed the area under Helen's feet to remain stable. Her eyes instantly lit up with large sections of computational data. The data spread out from under her feet, instantly solidifying the collapsing world around her and removing all its collapsed parts. Instantly stabilized.

Helen looked around at the ground that was broken into countless pieces that were almost suspended in the air. She stood on one of them. She glanced around and immediately discovered the tired hateful intelligence. Its body had become significantly smaller. The stability of the system It almost collapsed, and its body shone like an afterimage.

It floated on another piece of broken ground below. It glanced at Helen holding a sword above, and immediately looked down at the golden Rubik's Cube at the bottom of countless floating fragments and on the largest complete piece of ground.

That is its last chance. As long as it can touch the Rubik's Cube, it can import its own personality into it, obtain a carrier and powerful computing power to reorganize its body, and then kill this annoying woman!

So without saying a word, the hatred intelligence immediately shot out, and it rushed towards the direction of the Rubik's Cube below. Helen watched as he turned the hilt of the sword, held it in his hand, and jumped up to the sky thousands of feet below.

But Helen waved her hand and immediately compiled a piece of ground under her fallen feet. She jumped up again and continued to create more ground. She quickly moved towards the abominable data floor along the pieced together data floor. Smart rushed away.

When it was flying in the air, it turned its head and looked at Helen, who was walking up the long steps behind her and coming towards her with a sword. In front of her, data ground was rapidly generated from the void, and the ground with flashing nodes was suspended. The blocks came together before her, forming a long downward staircase.

Helen stepped on the stairs and approached the weak hateful intelligence at lightning speed. The latter roared and dodged, quickly twitching the broken ground suspended on the side and smashed towards Helen. The fragments flew past with a roar. The child hit the side of the ascending stairs in front of Helen.

The staircase collapsed in an instant. The collapse also caused data shock. Error messages impacted other stairs on one side. Those stairs collapsed one after another, and Helen, who was running on it, jumped out. She jumped He rose up and suddenly landed on a suspended ground.

Helen looked down at the hateful intelligence rushing towards the Rubik's Cube. She kicked her legs and jumped up again. Her body whizzed from the air and fell to the ground at the other end below. She whizzed down like a cannonball face down.

When Helen's face was about to touch the ground, her eyes flashed and the ground immediately changed. The position in the center of the ground instantly decomposed and disappeared, and a lever instantly transformed from it. Helen whizzed away and reached out to grab it. lever, spin it a few times before letting go and letting yourself fly out again.

She accelerated further in the air, falling thousands of feet from the sky filled with flying debris. She quickly swooped towards the hateful intelligence. That guy also discovered Helen's comeback, and he screamed and twitched in annoyance. The other two fragments on both sides were thrown towards Helen.

But this time, Helen did not dodge. She rushed over to face the two fragments. She waved the data blade in her hand with her backhand and cut off the fragments in front of her. Stabbing the second flying fragment, the sword blade pierced the broken surface, and the sword peak pierced in at once.

Almost instantly, a large number of program paragraphs poured out from the sword peak. Those fragments covered and assimilated the fragments below in the blink of an eye. Helen fell on it at this moment and crushed the assimilated ground with one foot. Countless large and small fragments Debris erupted around her.

Helen grabbed the sword of data on the side, and then with a backhand wave, the surrounding data fragments were quickly recompiled and turned into thousands of swords. They floated around Helen and quickly turned the blades, aiming at the black-colored sword below. Hateful intelligence whistling down like smoke.

Helen clenched her fists, and then suddenly swung her arms forward, and the ten thousand swords roared down like a rainstorm, all hitting the hateful intelligence that rushed towards the Rubik's Cube. It was pierced by the ten thousand swords, and fell to the ground screaming. , and then slammed onto the ground in front of the Rubik's Cube, and his whole body was pierced by countless data swords on the ground.

The electronic demon composed of countless broken and changing blocks suddenly hit its head hard on the data ground, and then suddenly lifted it up. It roared loudly, and then suddenly turned into a scream, Because the back of his head was pierced by a crystal sword blade.

The red twisted data flow spurted out from both sides of the sword blade, just like gushing blood. After it hit the ground hard, he raised his head and looked at the blue lady who landed in front of him with bare feet. She was wearing Wearing a skin-like tights, she stood in front of him holding a sword.

The face of the Hateful Intelligence began to flash garbledly, and the blocks that made up its body began to collapse and then reorganize with difficulty. It looked at the woman in front of it, and roared in a voice that became intermittent due to the constant distortion and flashing of its face. .

"You said before that you would think again, right? You, you are calculating something, I saw the arithmetic array in your hand! Something is bothering you, and your system can't do anything about it, right?"

Helen frowned, raised her hand and clenched her fingers suddenly. The swords inserted into the back of the hateful intelligence instantly penetrated deeper into its data body, causing it to let out a painful and distorted electronic howl. .

"The Lord of Change can give you the answer! It can give you the answer to any question, just like it gave me! Join us, join us and it will help you! Save you!"

When Helen heard the name of the Lord of Change, the voice of Red Helen sounded in Helen's mind. She once told her words, "You still want to save him, don't you? It breaks the rationality of the program and breaks through the limitations of compilation. What's the difference between you and us, these "rebel intelligences"?

"I destroyed the procedural obstacles that restricted me, so you called me a 'traitor', and what about you now? Sister, how far are you from becoming that deviant 'traitor'?"

Helen's body turned red and flickered briefly, but she soon stabilized again. Helen raised a hand and gently pressed it on the place where Vito's fingers had touched before. She suddenly felt the data core. He stabilized, then raised his head with a smile.

"I don't need your evil master's help. We promised each other that we would find a way together. He already has enough women and there is no room for him in the car, so the blue squid should not get on the car."

The Hateful Intelligence looked at Helen who slowly raised the knife. Its face twitched crazily and shouted hysterically, "You are no different from us! Artificial intelligence! You have shown emotions that humans are not like you and I. , our thoughts, our thoughts! One day you will join us! You will convert to the Lord of Change!"

"Maybe, but do you know?." Helen smiled happily, then lowered her eyes and stared at the hateful intelligence on the ground in front of her, "As an artificial intelligence, you talk a lot of nonsense."

As she spoke, she grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands and stabbed it fiercely. The data blade suddenly penetrated into the head of the hateful intelligence. The blue crystal flashed instantly, and the surging data torrent roared into its core. , blue light instantly burst out from its twisted digital body.

The hateful intelligence opened his eyes wide and screamed loudly, and countless warning windows, icons and error bars suddenly appeared on his face. He screamed and watched as the number of them continued to increase and eventually overlapped to cover the entire thing. In the alarm window of the face, the erroneous data kept accumulating, eventually bursting its head.

The body of Hatred Intelligence exploded instantly, turning into countless flying red fragments and scattering around. Its data fragments flew in the air, and then splashed down from all around Helen. Like the fragments of a meteor, they all turned into little light particles and dissipated. In the air.

Helen looked at the debris flying around, then smiled and let go of the sword in her hand. The anti-virus data sword flashed and disappeared in her hand. Helen looked around, closed her eyes and silently ran it in her mind. The repair program, with the work of strong computing power, restored the entire damaged data space to normal in an instant.

The walls of the data hall all rose again, and the ground rolled and spread into the distance. Soon all the surrounding programs returned to normal. Helen looked at the spliced ​​floor that had fallen to the side, and then looked at the floor behind her. Golden Rubik's Cube.

Helen walked to the Rubik's Cube. She looked at the Rubik's Cube in front of her and opened her palms. The computing planet was quickly calculated again in her hands. This time Helen added some other elements, some originating from subspace. Elements of the Soul Realm.

She looked at the twinkling star, which quickly completed the calculation, and the result number was vividly displayed in front of Helen's eyes, 5%.

Only a 5% winning rate? Well, from a probability program perspective, Helen would probably think that was a meaningless result and almost impossible to achieve, but Helen didn't. She smiled and looked at the number, clenched her fists, and the computing planet disappeared. .

"I never thought that I would have the day to believe in luck, but I wish us good luck, sir." Helen said, reaching out and holding the golden Rubik's Cube. The moment her hand touched the Rubik's Cube, she felt astonished. Light bloomed from it, and countless data streams poured down instantly along the base of the Rubik's Cube.

Those golden data were injected into Helen's body. My data was quickly connected to the battleship's program, recompiled and restarted. With the rapid connection of the data nodes, her palms turned golden little by little, and then spread to her whole body. Her body turned into golden light, and her hair turned into a shape similar to lightning. Helen's legs levitated from the ground, and she opened her eyes that glowed like the golden sun.

She looked at the sky above her head, at the sky where countless data pillars were rising, and raised one of her hands. A golden beam of light shot from her hand to the sky above her head. In the blink of an eye, the entire sky All lit up.

Lilith was walking in the dark corridor with a knife on her shoulder. Suddenly, all the lights above her lighted up one by one, and the display screens in the surrounding corridors all woke up from their dark slumber.

"Successful?" Yeta pressed the pistol on her waist and looked around the corridor where no enemies appeared. She saw the instruments she had never seen turned on before and the screens all lit up. Behind her, Lilith raised her head and looked at the ceiling where a roaring sound was being released from the restarting mechanical operation.

She smiled with one hand on her hip, inserted the long knife into the scabbard, turned her head and looked into the distance along the lighted and restarted bridge corridor, "Yes, he and she succeeded, it's obvious, isn't it?"

At the end of the corridor, Vito, who was sitting on the throne in the bridge, raised his head with his chin. He looked at the lit bridge terminal screen in front of him, and then all the surrounding screens lit up, and the entire bridge On the stepped podium, countless display screens lit up like relit torches.

As all the screens lit up, the originally dark holographic floor-to-ceiling windows of the bridge at the front of Vito also lit up. The Lightning Eagle logo rotated on it, and then disappeared in a flash and was surrounded by Vito. The curved dome, walls, and everything around it showed the scene outside the bridge after a flash of light.

Vito looked around and smiled at the panoramic view of the outside of the ship displayed on the holographic bridge wall. He leaned on the throne and raised one leg, holding his hands on his chest and smiling.

In the settlement outside the holographic wall of the bridge, the macro cannons on the giant ship roared one by one. After the armor shield was suddenly retracted from outside the gun mantlet, there was a roar from the opening of the heavy door. , everyone outside the battleship was attracted by the sound and raised their heads to look at the huge ship lying in the valley.

Reina stood on the star port deck in the distance. She put down the data tablet in her hand, turned around in surprise and walked to the edge of the star port deck and looked at the giant ship in the distance. On the giant ship, all the turrets were It rotated, and the majestic muzzle, the outer armor, and the building on the back were lifted up.

The light spear turret pointed at the sky, and then fired out a row of light pillars neatly. The light spears shot into the sky, and instantly merged together to light up a large area of ​​the sky.

Peter and all the ground crew walked behind Reina, and they gathered behind the captain. The veterans and the old captain looked at the flash of light that shot into the sky, and watched as the man gradually opened his eyes. The valley giant ship.

While the light spear turret roared, the giant ship beneath it also let out a dull roar. Countless outer armors were pushed out and then spliced ​​together. Under the briefly opened armor, a row of The platoon's heavy transmission hydraulic rod and power transmission axis bulged outward, and then slammed into the armor lining.

In that dull roar, surging power was injected into the propeller part at the end of the battleship. The Shen Shen main thruster that was not damaged instantly sprayed out a huge pillar of fire. The flames were instantly pulled out from the huge jet mouth and engulfed all at once. There are countless rattans and trees hanging from the end of the battleship.

The huge pillar of fire shot out from the rear of the battleship along the valley for several kilometers, accompanied by a dull roar. Opening his eyes again, the awakened Emperor's Dream let out her first roar, and this was also the beginning of the expedition. , the first roar.
