Chapter 287: Overlord, the Fleet Returning From Deep Space (4K Chapter)
The slender, dark figure, like a ghost, was staring at him in the reflection of the wall.
Otto raised his arm, and the shadow also raised his arm. Under the gaze of Gray Wind and the giant on the brass throne, he placed his right hand on his chest and gently touched the magnificent miniature galaxy.
The singing in his ears had not stopped. When he lowered his head, Otto could clearly feel that the voices seemed to be transmitted from the silver vortex. The power flowing in it was from billions of stars in another universe, which was the main source of his power and all authority.
Reality and illusion overlapped with each other. Although this sounded a little incredible, the situation in front of him was as if he had crossed both ends at the same time and existed in the two worlds of reality and subspace at the same time. Otherwise, how could he explain this strange scene in front of him?
"Master? Are you okay?"
At this moment, Gray Wind's voice came to my ears again. At the same time, through the observation window of the Gray Goo mothership on the real side, the planet killer's doomsday main gun collided with the six-layer high-energy shield of the Gray Goo mothership again. The red light representing destruction once again lit up the entire hall in an instant, showing the same color as the brass palace flowing with blood and lava.
The battle around the star is still going on. Under the trusteeship of Gray Wind, the alliance's fleet has been further dismantled into countless smaller firepower formations, with an average of six destroyers equipped with twin main guns in a group. The six destroyers with a total of twelve guns can destroy a standard [Seeker]-class solemn extinction ship at the fastest speed.
At present, except for the mothership responsible for blocking the advance of the black fleet and a few accompanying firepower ships, dozens of similar six-ship formations are under the unified command of the Gray Gu network, accurately and quickly attacking the light and small units surrounding the planet killer, causing the Chaos escort fleet to inevitably begin to suffer damage.
It must be said that this move is indeed very disgusting. With more advanced radar and fire control systems combined with the excellent computing power of the Gray Gu network, the Alliance can be said to have maximized its advantage in range.
Taking this opportunity, several subsequent assembled carrier-based aircraft groups rushed to the airspace where the planet killer was located before the escort fleet was replenished, like a silver torrent, along the gap area of anti-aircraft firepower.
Although the highly penetrating energy arc of Gray Wind could not cause fatal damage to the Planet Killer in a short period of time, as a Gray Goo mothership with ten hangars, carrier-based aircraft and ammunition factories inside, the power that can be unleashed by hundreds of [Gray Goo carrier-based aircraft] equipped with anti-ship weapons in its cabin should not be underestimated, and can also cause fatal damage to the warship.
After realizing the intention of the Alliance, the anti-aircraft gun group on the outer deck of the Planet Killer quickly wove a huge firepower network around the warship, surrounding the huge hull like a hedgehog, which made the first batch of carrier-based aircraft that arrived almost pay the price of annihilation, as if they were thrown into a roaring crusher.
If it were an ordinary driver, he would have been scared by such a scene, but AI obviously did not need to worry about this problem. Under the self-sacrifice of the first formation, the second and third formations that arrived later successfully entered the shield's blind spot.
Although the void shield is very powerful as a black technology in the Warhammer universe, especially the fortress-level void shield carried by this large warship, it is almost impossible to be destroyed from the outside.
But this shield can only intercept high-speed targets such as artillery lasers, and has no effect on slow units such as fighters and landing capsules. This is the main reason why many famous battles in Warhammer are often settled with the most primitive boarding battle.
The Grey Gu fleet flew at a high speed close to the hull of the warship. With the continuous throwing of plasma torpedoes, the silver-white plasma light groups that exploded one after another were like flowers blooming on the huge hull of the planet killer, and caused damage to many of its turrets. There is no doubt that Grey Wind hopes to disarm the giant ship bit by bit by washing the deck.
At this moment, a familiar roar echoed from Otto's ears again. When Otto looked at the side of the brass palace again, a scene that surprised him appeared.
Little E? Why is that guy here?
[Little E], that was the name Otto gave to the little ghost that appeared in the mothership earlier, which was suspected to be a fragment of the Emperor's personality. While his attention was attracted by the battle in reality, the strange little thing had already come to the front of the brass throne and was silently staring at the giant in the throne, as if they were negotiating something.
Different from the usual appearance, at this moment, the fragment was surrounded by a dazzling golden light, and Otto inexplicably felt a familiar power from the other party.
Although it was unknown what the other party had communicated with the giant on the throne, he raised the flaming brass sword in his hand without hesitation and swung it towards the location of the fragment amidst another angry roar.
Oops
I have to stop him
Seeing this scene, Otto couldn't help but have such a thought in his mind, but at the moment when this thought just emerged, he could clearly feel that a certain voice in his body responded to it.
Just when the long sword was about to fall, the originally calm brass hall suddenly trembled, the brass chains hanging on the wall shook with the vibration, and the piles of skulls in the hall collapsed one after another.
Accompanied by a crisp collision, it seemed that an invisible force hit the blade of the brass sword heavily when the giant was unprepared, causing it to instantly escape from the hands of the blood god, and the flying sword blade fell in the corner of the hall until it knocked down several brass pillars before finally stopping.
It seemed to be beyond the other party's expectations. This sudden situation made the giant in the throne cast a slightly strange look in the direction of Otto.
Perhaps the force shook the connection between reality and the subspace. As the surrounding space became more and more unstable, after a period of earthquakes, when Otto opened his eyes again, he found that the scenery in front of him had changed again.

The brass palace with lava flowing was gone. When Otto realized this, he was already in the bridge of the Gray Gu mothership.
Looking at the slightly curious eyes on the face of the girl next to him, Otto raised his hand and rubbed his temple. At this moment, a feeling of discomfort like motion sickness made him feel dizzy.
I always feel like I just saw a famous dog-headed man holding a dark sword and trying to chop people.
Recalling the scenes that just happened, because it was too weird, he couldn't be sure whether what happened just now was a strange illusion.
By the way, how is that guy?
While thinking, Otto's eyes could not help but wander around the command hall of the Gray Gu mothership. Not long after, accompanied by a crisp sound of metal products falling to the ground, a rune sword lying on the ground suddenly caught his attention.
That was the Chaos Magic Sword he used to harvest soul circuits before, but at this moment, the appearance of the sword had changed a little, like an ember that had not yet been extinguished. The traces of the flowing flame could be clearly seen in the gorgeous sword body that had been recast and wrapped in brass.
[Blessing Obtained: Mark of Courage (Red)]
[Blessing Effect: All soldier units in the alliance have a chance to obtain the butcher attribute. Soldiers will be more likely to be promoted on the battlefield, becoming more determined and fearless, and not knowing what fear is. 】
(Only effective for organic organisms)
Tsk.
Looking at the text gradually emerging on the console panel, Otto was sure that everything he had just seen was real. However, he clearly remembered that he had not agreed to the other party's conditions in the illusion at that time, and even smashed the place near the end. Although he was not sure whether it was done by him, the other party still shared part of his power with him.
Could that guy have some special hobby?
But then again
Since the Blood God mentioned [Breaker] again, could it be that the other party was referring to the dimensional demons in the stars?
If that is the case, then things are really interesting.
The terrifying Tyranid swarm, the ridiculously strong complete body of Suzheng, and the dimensional demon that can cause Khorne to worry, the small galaxy actually gathered three forces of the four major disasters at the same time. God knows what kind of vibrant scene the universe will be at that time.
While thinking, Otto came to the place where the magic sword fell. After leaning over and hesitating for a moment, he first tentatively touched the surface of the sword with his fingertips. Through the surface wrapped in flame slag, he could only feel a piercing chill.
To this day, he still doesn't quite understand the purpose of these existences in the subspace. If he understands correctly, these things were mostly given by the "gods" at the beginning, but now the Blood God has injected his power into it and actively invited it. Does this mean that he wants to get rid of others and go alone?
With an unintentional glance, he noticed that [Little E] not far away seemed to be attracted by something, gradually approaching the position of the bow and stopping in front of the observation window composed of the holographic screen, and his eyes were tightly locked on the position of the battlefield.
Not long after, the voice of Gray Wind came from behind again.
"Master, Clara just sent a message saying that the Void Claw is ready to launch."
Hearing this, Otto, who had already rewrapped the magic sword with the state religion parchment, stood up from the ground, although he didn't know whether it would be useful.
"Let's start, let's see if Clara's plan can succeed."
After a while, under the command of Grey Wind, the Alliance Front, which was originally blocking the Chaos Fleet in the star orbit, suddenly gathered together and chose to withdraw from the battlefield. This situation shocked the imperial forces who chose to fight with the Alliance.
When they sent a communication to the Grey Goo mothership and asked about the reason for the Alliance's withdrawal, the answer they got was only two simple words.
[Run]
Faced with the Alliance's active retreat, Abaddon was not surprised at all. In his opinion, this was an inevitable result.
"Send people to recover the wreckage of the Alliance's ships on the scene."
After receiving such an order, the captain of the Black Legion in front of the Warmaster was confused.
"But sir, the battle is not over yet."
"Our victory is inevitable. Vashtor requires that the wreckage must be handed over to him as intact as possible. We need to recycle the hull exposed to the vacuum as soon as possible."
"But sir, I think we should be careful. We don't know the power of the alliance yet."
The captain obviously wanted to say something else, but he didn't wait for him to finish.
"No one can be the opponent of this invincible fleet. Now no one can stop my revenge. We will destroy Vigilant and then Haven. Our fleet will completely flatten Terra. This is an inevitable result."
The tone of the Chaos Warmaster was full of arrogance. In his view, the planet killer from the Lord of Ten Thousand Furnaces and the advanced warships produced by the ancient factory that was transported to the subspace by Vashtor were the capital for revenge.
"Notify the fleet to move forward immediately!"
However, shortly after Abaddon's voice fell, something strange suddenly happened in the originally peaceful universe.
"What is that?"
Under the incredible gaze of the Warmaster and the Chaos Captain, a black sphere shaped like a black hole suddenly appeared without warning in the deep space not far from the Chaos Fleet.
With the appearance of that thing, the spatial structure of the entire area began to twist involuntarily, and as the energy gradually accumulated, the sphere was also constantly growing, and the spatial anomalies around it were becoming more and more obvious.
Until a certain moment, when the sphere absorbed enough energy from the surrounding space, it suddenly exploded in the air, and the power released instantly caused a shock wave at its location that was enough to destroy the stability of space.
Like a broken lens, a small enough space crack suddenly appeared in front of everyone, as if someone had pierced a gap in the curtain with a knife.
At first, no one cared about it, but the next moment, the originally small crack suddenly expanded hundreds of thousands of times without warning, and its width even exceeded the stars not far away.
Like an eye gradually opening, the crack that was originally only a slit is gradually getting bigger, as if something terrible wants to break through the other side of the curtain and descend into the real universe.
Under the extremely horrified gaze of the crowd, the first thing that appeared from the dark unknown space like the abyss was a black wall that was wide enough to cover the entire star. Even the veterans of the Black Legion who were used to the evil power of chaos could not help but be inspired by the fear from the depths of their hearts in front of the giant.
As the "wall" slowly moved, until the giant cannon that looked like the size of a satellite was seen, people believed that this magnificent creation like a star was actually a man-made warship.
