Chapter 279 Tearing Reality Apart
At the same time.
In the not-so-wide room, Otto was sitting in front of the command desk with holographic light flashing. Through the holographic images, it can be clearly seen that two Astartes wearing hoods and dark green power armor have entered the room.
Fallen angels, the three words that the members of the First Legion are most reluctant to hear. For various purposes, these people have voluntarily left or betrayed the Empire and their Primarchs, which is an unforgivable behavior for the honor-conscious Dark Angels.
In the past thousand years, members of the First Legion have been chasing the traces of these fallen angels throughout the galaxy, and now they dare to take the initiative to walk out of the hiding fortress and appear in front of them. Such behavior obviously aroused great interest from Otto himself.
Facing the scrutiny of Otto and Gray Wind and others, these Astartes who exuded a mysterious aura did not hide, but directly stated their requests.
"We are the descendants of Leon. We come here this time in the hope of getting help from the Alliance"
Request for help? After thinking for a while, Otto asked in a slightly suspicious tone.
"What do you plan to let the Alliance do? I want to know what benefits this will bring to the Alliance."
As a player who has a deep understanding of the Warhammer plot, he certainly knows what kind of crazy existence those Dark Angels and their inner circle are. If they know that the Alliance has contacted the Fallen Angels, it will probably cause some unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, Otto did not intend to have too much contact with these hot potatoes at first, and just wanted to ask a few questions.
However, perhaps he felt the other party's subtle attitude from the tone, and then saw another Fallen Angel took off his hood and took the initiative to step forward.
"For the past thousands of years, we have been guarding that precious creation for the Alliance, and now we just hope to get a safer shelter to avoid the pursuit of our compatriots, that's all."
Guarding the Alliance's creation? What exactly does this refer to?
It must be said that the other party's words made Otto feel confused, but from the attitude of the two visitors, these fallen angels obviously knew about the existence of the alliance a long time ago.
As if to prove the authenticity of his words, the other party first took out a necklace from the gap of his inner armor at his neck, and then showed the crystal pendant with a rose cross shape in front of everyone.
For some reason, when Otto saw that thing, he felt inexplicably familiar.
This situation made Huifeng frowned in confusion. A small nanostorm blew in front of the two fallen angels. Before the two could react, the next second, the exquisite cross pendant appeared in front of the girl.
"Is this... a hymn rune?"
As the voice fell, Huifeng held the strange emblem tightly in his palm, and then raised his eyes and looked at the two giants in power armor in front of him with a slightly hostile look.
"Where did you get it?"
When Otto heard the name, he finally realized why he felt so familiar with that thing.
[Hymn Rune] is an important item used to give life to the members of the alliance. Due to some special factors, although the civilization that constitutes the Ash Alliance in the game is still called human, most of its members do not have a clear distinction between the sexes, and this has been the case long before they set foot in space.
It is for this reason that the way the members of the alliance continue their civilization is somewhat special.
Every once in a while, those members of the alliance who meet the standards will go to the [Hymn Hall] of the alliance, and through a ceremony, they will become pregnant, and then they can naturally breed and give birth to offspring.
Although this sounds a bit strange, in fact, its principle is to inject the energy in the virtual world into the bodies of the members, and then breed new life with entity, and the [Hymn Rune] with the function of guiding energy plays a vital role in this process.
To be honest, as the actual ruler and [player], Otto actually knows nothing about the culture and life of the civilization under his command. All of this was learned by Otto through the information provided by Clara and Gray Wind.
Thinking of this, Otto couldn't help but look at the pendant in Gray Wind's hand again. Could it be that the treasure in the other party's mouth refers to the [Hymn Rune] in front of him?
But then again, can this thing play its original role in the Warhammer universe? If it really works, doesn't it mean that the Alliance has the ability to create citizens of the stars again?
Facing the girl's questioning, the fallen angel who took out the rune pendant earlier just answered in a calm tone.
"Volian Sandstorm Vortex"
"We hid in it a long time ago to avoid the pursuit of the inner circle, and there we found a strange device suspected to be built in the dark technology era. It was through interpreting some of the information in it that we learned about the existence of the Alliance."
Volian Sandstorm, the big vortex located in the Dead Forest Festival?
The words of the fallen angel seemed to remind Otto. After quickly recalling the official plot of Warhammer in his mind, a vague name immediately emerged in his mind.
——[Void Claw]
If I remember correctly, according to the setting in the plot, it was a large high-energy physics experimental facility built by the Human Empire on the Vigilant Star in the dark technology era. Its specific function is to open a micro singularity in a certain area, so that the local space-time and space structure are broken to produce destructive power.
According to the description of the fallen angels, it seems that a lot of Alliance technology is used in that facility. At this point, this kind of thing is no longer surprising to Otto. After all, the Human Empire in the current timeline has experienced a war of rectification, and then reborn with the help of the Alliance.
This was an unexpected gain for Otto. If they were lucky, they might be able to recover a lot of information from the facility. However, when he asked about the specific details of the facility.
"We don't know what the real purpose of the facility is, but from some of the information we have interpreted in the past thousand years, the people who built it seem to want to tear a dimensional rift above the Vigilant Star."

"It seems that they want to bring something from the outside world into the Milky Way."
One of the fallen angels said this.
