Chapter 80: Warp Nightmare/Emperor’s Blessing

Chapter 80 Subspace Nightmare Emperor’s Blessing

Human beings live on a small island called ignorance in the dark ocean. The ocean is vast and contains endless secrets, but they should not sail too far or explore too deeply.

————From "Call of Cthulhu"

Geller denies that the greatest invention of mankind's dark age is the greatest invention. Not one of them, from the first hour when human beings can submerge into subspace, their position in that dark universe has been destined. Alan Bayer cannot imagine those How terrible things can be studied, and it is unimaginable how much energy humans spend to put themselves in the ocean of consciousness.

That dark and deep place is definitely not an area suitable for any creature in the physical world to sneak into. Even if he has lived for two lives, has seen wars, and killed countless horrible things, the lieutenant colonel can't help but lose his mind due to those terrifying hallucinations.

The lumen bars driven by the source of power in the corridor of the loyal battleship began to flicker, flickering light, and naked, grotesque things were swimming in the ship. They had many joints, and their bodies were twisted. They looked like humans but not like them. They were hollow. Their eyes make me feel that they do have intelligence and consciousness, and their bodies are twitching all the time, almost like an epileptic patient.

They brushed against the bodies of the crew members, and those poor souls could continue to ignore them and utter words of faith.

"My soul has passed through the oil, the God Emperor is here, the God Emperor is here!" The soldier in navy uniform chanted, and the words began to become less clear. Alan Bair gradually couldn't understand his language, and in the middle The help the school gave him was nothing more than a bullet to his head.

It was not a creature from subspace but an illusion. There was no use in closing one's eyes or even sleeping. The whole ship might have been unconscious for a few minutes, but when Geller's position failed and the subspace entity invaded, tens of thousands of Imperials on the entire ship All the people will be slaughtered.

They are always around me. If you close your eyes, you can feel their illusory souls. If you plug your ears, you can hear the whispers. Unless you leave the subspace, those nightmares will not dissipate.

The soldiers on the Ruming ship began to shoot at each other continuously, and even the captain's condition was definitely not good. He stood next to the command point and said. "Salia, are you me? Sister? Why..."

"ah!"

"No! God Emperor!"

A person as strong-willed as the staff officer is not necessarily a good person. Sweat dripped from his forehead. He was chanting a complicated standard prayer of the national religion in his mouth, but his eyes were staring into the distance. What did the Zhongsi Academy student without his parents see? Because Alan Beyer is unknown and his condition is not good.

Lieutenant Colonel Avada, lieutenants, comrades-in-arms, all the people he knew who were good to him were trying to persuade him to join their party, but it was not a gentle warning, but the subspace wanted to seize his soul.

And this is true for the most determined officers in the empire, but what about the others? It is obvious to everyone that this is the terrible place, with constant screams...

If Geller's position is not slowly dissipated, subspace entities will also be attracted to the human souls and flesh and blood on the battleship. Subspace will not only have the domain of gods, but also countless terrifying "creatures" ” and twisted entities, greedy for any soul in the material universe.

Alan Bayer thought so, and suddenly felt his shoulders were heavy. A naked hairless monkey with three legs, four joints and five eyes. It was a pretty thing. It was about the size of a small dog and fell on his shoulders. It used its legs and arms. Searching for Alan Bair's head is like trying to find the location of that entity's soul.

Alan Bayer instantly realized that it was a "genuine product"!

Anyway, can you imagine what it would be like to turn around and see that thing? Alan Bayer didn't scream. He had seen many terrible things. Although that thing was disgusting, it was not ranked among the top!

He yanked the monster's spider-like legs and arms, and threw it on the ground. The monster's body twitched abnormally, like a cassette recorder. Alan Beyer pulled out the cassette tape from his waist. The Katachan long-edged knife was inserted into the neck of the Chaos thing.

"Go to hell!"

After the sharp eardrum-breaking scream, the thing died, as if they had the concept of death, but after the blade was pulled out, the thing quickly got up, as if nothing was wrong, and continued to stretch out its legs to touch Alan Bair. Come.

"grass…"

The existence of such a thing around me makes people scared, not to mention that it will eat, drink, and eat, and a normal person will go crazy after just a few days. Besides, that does not mean that the thing that Gellert can barely enter the ship is not a real demon. .

And the light of Ruming Geller's position is getting weaker and weaker. If you want to survive, you must do something, even if you want to die.

Alan Bayer raised his leg and slapped the aristocratic captain of the rank of rear admiral on the face. Although he was not in the same department, such behavior was also very out of bounds. Pi Nao Ruming had no time to dwell on the rules.

"captain!"

"I am a rubbish noble who relies on connections to rule. If my faith and will are stronger than those illusions in Bu Nao, when their souls return to the throne, they will report my incompetence to the emperor!"

"My battleship and I are useless, whether it's against the red pirates or against subspace, the experienced Imperial Navy is nothing more than useless!"

The old captain angrily woke up from his weird dream, breathing heavily, and his uniform was wrinkled. "What did I say?! I can scold him, but I can't scold her!"

Alan Beyer continues to add fuel to the fire. "Then the warship will be corrupted by the subspace and become an engine of demons, or one of the countless hulks in the subspace and become a place where demons live. And my helplessness is the culprit of that situation!"

The old captain was furious. He walked to the command point and opened the control panel. His anger made his mind clear again. Loyalty and honor made him throw the phantom of the subspace to the ground. His former family, ruthless people, or the most terrifying thing. The alliance was not as wrong as his obsession with the emperor and the navy, and those things had even been engraved into his soul.

"I said so!" the captain cursed, and he picked up the communicator.

"All members, a very mobile navy with very clear heads, come to the forward position to pilot the Bordeaux! Don't indulge in those damn illusions, they have been insulted by the Imperial Navy!"

"The Lieutenant Colonel commented on whether they have useless water legs! Let them see that they can also swim in subspace!"

As the sailors approached the bridge restlessly,

The captain watched the imperial naval guards running quickly, the sound of military boots hitting the deck, and the captain showed off to the others. "Full power, subspace engine power is maximized, they are rising!"

Sailor Han Xuan. "No, sir, they did not follow the target. In the subspace storm just now, they may have deviated tens of millions of light years!"

Subspace does not have a specific location and space concept, but only with the spiritual light of the Star Torch, humans can use it as a beacon to judge its position in subspace, and subspace is actually more similar to the seabed than the ocean. Not only flat, but also very deep.

Geller's position is that the outer armor cannot withstand water pressure, and subspace pollution cannot withstand water pressure. Although there is light, those who cannot survive will die, the navigator's head will explode, and the Star Torch command will not be available. Human beings don't actually know where to sail.

The captain, who was aware of the situation, looked at the screen of the battleship in front of him. The camera showed Geller's position as the front section of the ship became increasingly thin. He said. "To close part of Geller's position, just close the one in front of him..."

"He doesn't deny the miraculous, but if the Emperor protects him, he can see the light! He believes so!"

The few sanity of the sailors prevented them from obeying that order. "The God-Emperor is here, Captain, how can they move forward without me?"

said the captain. "Turn it off. He has taken the name of Rear Admiral of the Imperial Navy. Please see the Emperor's luster and lead them forward!"

But Alan Beyer took out his own firearm and put it against the captain's head. "Forgive him for being rude. Now, give him the sacred compass and move east from the command point, and he will take a look."

The captain was angry. "That's his ship and his responsibility!"

Alan Beyer replied. "No one in that place knows how to drive better than me. The storm in the subspace has not left. Without my command, they can't even sail in a straight line. How can they get out of there?"

The sailors instantly raised their sidearms. Most of them were small automatic guns from the empire. They could not even penetrate Alan Bayer's carapace. However, if they hit Alan Bayer in the cheek, they would die. The captain threatened Alan Bayer with this. you.

"I'm not an Imperial Guard, I shouldn't have done that. If he put us in danger, he should be held responsible."

The situation has reached a stalemate. The staff officer now picks up Alan Bair's hell gun. How does he judge whether the achievement is successful or not? Who will witness the current situation of the subspace? In any case, if you have seen that kind of place, you will be crazy at least, and the devil is at worst. Physically, whoever witnesses the Warp will lead to the most horrific situations.

Even people with a strong will and strong faith will lose themselves even more before seeing the light of the star torch with the naked eye, and will not successfully find their own direction in the subspace, otherwise they will cultivate navigators for the nuclear power? Why can navigators become a family? If witnessing the reality of subspace is something that ordinary people can do, why need them? Just find a few hive guys or sinners.

He knew very well, and everyone present knew very well that it would be suicide to witness the subspace. They didn't know what was there, but the subspace was absolutely dangerous. People without psychic powers could not project their vision, and they could see it. Nearby, the light of Source Tellurite's star torch cannot be felt.

The staff officer should stop the farce, but even if they don't look at the subspace, they will die from the invasion of the subspace due to the collapse of their position. He doesn't know what it is, he only knows that it is like water pressure, but he has no idea what situation it will cause. known.

But such an action is equivalent to swimming naked for half a minute in the deep sea of ​​1,000 meters, and the water pressure can kill a human in just a few seconds!

The staff officer said at first. "He believed me, Lieutenant Colonel..."

He raised the hell gun and fired at the sailors. If he really fired, the flames would kill those soldiers in an instant, allowing Alan Bair to seize all the command of the battleship. From this point of view, that bad game, Star Boundary The army won.

The captain unloads his weapons. "Am I a great person? If I see the light coming from Terra, he hopes that I can tell him something. How beautiful is that light? It can guide them forward, and it will never go out for thousands of years..." He knew clearly what was before him. People on the bridge would die, and everyone on the bridge raised their weapons and pointed them at the lieutenant colonel to prevent him from suddenly mutating.

The captain handed Alan Bair the compass with the directions written on it. It was something carved from bones, with the approximate direction and specific numbers written on it.

Alan Bayer walked at the command point. The light blue light in the huge electronic screen blurred the entire terrifying subspace universe. His heart beat faster. He couldn't believe that he had made such a stupid decision.

The voice of a sailor came to my ears. "Reduce the source output, slow down, the Geller position in Area A is dissipating..."

Alanbair saw bright purple light, large nebulae, spiral things, endless void, several huge monsters floating like islands in the void, nightmares made of eyeballs, twisted and unrealistic. If he had seen such things somewhere, it was probably not...

Dream, absolutely wrong nightmare...

Those things, the subspace entities almost instantly felt the soul breath flowing out of the small open position, and those monsters approached the warship with twitching bodies. Alanbair had no time. His head was tingling, and the soul or something else, whether it was an organ or flesh, was also twitching.

Whispers and chaotic hallucinations filled his head, and he began to be unable to distinguish those that were subspace entities and those that were hallucinations. Are those nebulae real?

Are those monsters real?

The compass in his leg turned into a huge mushroom, and then the mushroom gave birth to eyeballs, the eyes were writing scales, the scales were writing Latin, he began to understand those words, writing about the eternal and bright things, full of countless information, just in an instant, poured into his head.

He looked everywhere, but he could not see the light of the star torch at all, and he could not see the Holy Terra at all. Madness and weirdness grew in his mind. He felt that his eyes were itchy and wanted to die. There were indistinguishable screams in his ears, maybe from the sailors, maybe from hallucinations.

Just when he was about to collapse, a voice suddenly appeared in his head. "Don't think, don't think, don't expect, don't indulge, his child."

Turbid, rough, perfect, that voice suddenly appeared in Alan Baier's mind, his eyes became clear again, he saw that the leg pointed to the compass clearly, like the light of the red day and the huge silver star next to it.

"Switch off!"

After a moment, Geller's position was restarted. The subspace entity no longer found the warship and could wander around. Alanbair gasped and covered his head, then he saw many strange flesh threads in front of his eyes, and then the thing struggled, screamed, rotted, and turned into dust and dissipated.

What was that? He didn't know, but he didn't think, think, or understand.

He just remembered the numbers on the compass at that moment. "N36, W23, that's the direction of Terra..." He said tremblingly, his body did not mutate, his consciousness was very clear, and he walked weakly at the command point.

All the personnel on the bridge looked at Alanbair in disbelief. He completed a rare record in human history and faced the subspace universe...

Is he a space warrior? Is he a living saint? Obviously neither, the captain and the staff who couldn't explain the situation believed that something happened, and they were very proud. "The God Emperor appeared!"

Alanbair asked leisurely. "Can we determine the location?"

After his reminder, the other crew members belatedly started the warp engine, and then Han Xuan. "Confirmed, we are heading to Mandeville Point, consuming time, uncertain..."

"But they have experienced a warp storm. According to the deviation ratio, they seem to have crossed about half of the Extreme Star Region in three hours..., sir!"

The captain took off his hat. "In any case, the Emperor bless us, let's be their heroes and leave the warp quickly!"

When the battleship broke through the membrane connecting the entity and the illusion with the weak Geller, after a while, countless lights and stars appeared in front of the unknown star, and the captain couldn't help but sigh.

"Praise the Emperor! No stars, he missed the terrible dark void too much!"

The sailor shouted. "Sir, we received a distress signal! There are hundreds of them, all about... alien attacks!"

"According to the time stamp in the message, they have been in the subspace for half a year, but it is only three hours without physical perception."

"It is a star region in the Extreme Star Region. According to the communication information, the nearest imperial world is called Quadravidia, an imperial commercial center."

"The content of the communication shows that the galaxy is surrounded by aliens, including the Titans and... Tyranids!"

Swimming naked in the deep sea without a diving suit is about the same difficulty as inviting four vendors to have tea in the subspace. You will die anyway.
