Chapter 67

"The Word Bearers' own legion culture is to find a road to worship, and the stronger the existence standing behind this road, the better. During the 30K period, Luojia went to the Chaos Four Vendors. On the one hand, Big E refused to let him. He thanked him. On the other hand, the appearance of the four vendors of Chaos at that time was indeed better than that of Emperor Li. There are too many plots - this can easily lead Luojia to come to the conclusion that Big E is indeed not a god, but just a more powerful mortal - well, in some sense, that conclusion is indeed what Big E wants Luo Jia to do. What Jia realized was that the result was just a little bit different from Big E’s idea..."

The Dark Lady's six hands kept dancing in the air, and she continued to print marks on the Word Bearers who had completed their confessions, prayers and oaths, inscribing the emperor's holy words. At the same time, she was very self-satisfied in the Hammer Chat Room. Bragging with other hammer guys inside - in After a successful operation that left all the Word Bearers in the cruiser either burned to nothing but skin and bones and hung on swings on the walls of the pulpit, or directly returned to the great Word of the Emperor, the Dark Lady can now say that she is high To the point where I even want to sing a song.

"Indeed, so Ms. Dark, your performance has made it clear to these Word Bearers that Big E is not only a god, but also the most outrageous kind of god? Can Big E even be the servants of other gods?"

While complaining about the operation of the Dark Lady, Liang Feifan summoned a chess piece painted by the Black Legion and transformed it into a technical sergeant. Together with the chess piece recruited by Li Zhi Zhang, he conducted a detailed inspection of the engine room to determine whether this ghost knew that it was in the Eye of Fear. There is no fatal problem in the key area of ​​the old thing that has been used for many years - this ship is now their biggest reliance on finding Erebus. The Hammers must ensure that this ship at least encounters Erebus. Rebas could not sink in the sea of ​​stars before.

"Yes, my existence proves that Big E is not only a god but also the most powerful chaos power. I can't wait to see Erebus see me take out a book of the Emperor's Holy Words in front of him. That must have been a great pleasure - well, Brother Big E, I was right! In fact, you are already beyond the four dimensions and are above those four things. "

An angry emperor's expression suddenly appeared in the Hammer Guy chat group. Realizing that this was Brother E's protest to her, Lady Dark hurriedly explained.

"Indeed, so now Big E is a super god in the 40k world, and not just an existence that can be described by the concept of god - that's right! The Geller force field of Big E's ship is seriously malfunctioning. What can you do? Is it a solution? There is no way to repair it using the materials at hand in the skills that Lizhi Zhang and I have mastered - this should be our first serious trip to the subspace, and we want to make sure everything is safe."

I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Liang Feifan successfully said the words that silenced Big E, but the next second, his attention was attracted by the repair details in front of him - according to the information he retrieved, this Huiyan The Geller force field coverage of the ship's ship is extremely limited. It can basically only ensure that the core areas such as the bridge are not affected. On the surface, this coverage is enough. However, hammer guys all know that subspace corrosion is not something that can be avoided by covering one-third of an acre. If you are not careful and float in subspace for a few days, will your ship be the same as before? It's all a problem...

"Although I can indeed think of some solutions, are you still worried about this?"

A few seconds later, Brother Big E's slightly tangled voice came from the hammer chat group. Huan;:Welcome "in?"!In?【,!night;attack";'s":month:?Fei.'qun;:]:.6;9?.4?:9.,3:""6 !,1:3";5?."

"Ah...well, it seems to be true."

After being reminded by Big E, Liang Feifan, who had just realized that all the members on this ship were actually beings like ghosts and snakes in the subspace, clapped his hands vigorously, and the expression on his face read the word "sudden realization".

"Brother Big E, how do you solve the navigation problem? Although we also know how to use your big light ball to guide the way."

Litchi Zhang, who also realized that for a being that does not even count a ship of people now, might feel as happy returning to the subspace as going home, stopped trying to find ways to make the Geller force field work more efficiently, Turning to ask another question - although they have mastered the coordinates of the demon planet as Erebus's home base from the database on the ship, the hammer guys have no idea how to travel through subspace and reach the coordinates. clue.

"It's simple. Let the dark lady be the navigator. Her chess piece's psychic compatibility in my world can only be said to be explosive. It would be a pity not to be the navigator."

Big E's answer was light.

"No, Brother Big E, is your suggestion so casual? My Great Secret Keeper chess piece doesn't come with any navigator ability! Why don't you just ask someone else to send a navigator chess piece down?

Karma versus eloquence is the best solution! "

The Dark Lady, who had just completed the pretentious blessing and anointing of the last Word Bearer, and was about to perform other explosive operations in front of these Word Bearers, was stunned on the spot when she heard Big E's suggestion - her own The descending body is just a chess piece of the Great Demon of Slaanesh! A great demon of Slaanesh becomes a navigator and is a navigator in the Eye of Terror. Are you really not afraid that this ship will sail all the way to the Silver Palace of Slaanesh under the will of the warp?

"I said yes - you just sit in the navigator's seat and you know."

Big E's tone was unquestionable. The dark lady, who felt that Big E would theoretically not risk her own life, finally followed her lead and went to the currently empty bridge, then swaggered into the navigator's seat. Sit down - in an instant, a scream that may be a little better than the moment when a pig is hacked to death began to spread throughout the hammer chat room.

"What the hell is this star map landmark? Why do you have to use trigonometric functions and geometric equations to calculate the jump! Wait, this is because we are afraid of the eyes and we are going to the subspace! Are you really okay with math?"

Looking at the super handsome star map popping up in front of her eyes and the various drawings and mathematical tools popping up around her, the dark lady continued to scream when she realized what a terrible task she had taken on.

"Although mathematics in my world is indeed distorted by those four things, its roots are anchored in the depths of reality and are not so easy to fail. Sometimes the calculated results will deviate by as much as a hundred million points, but overall It’s reliable—otherwise, how do you think the empire relies on prayer most of the time?”

Big E answered seriously.

"Big E, you plot against me! Big E! You know that I am a liberal arts student and not good at mathematics! I gave you my portfolio!! Isn't there a fool's version? Why can you press F to enter and exit freely for other operations? The navigation system of the vehicle level is so hard-core and professional! If you do this in the game operation interface, you will get bad reviews from players! "

The Dark Lady protested loudly as she wanted to jump out of her seat and found that she was currently bound. If she did not follow the procedures, some of the fragile systems of the ship would be damaged.

"I haven't finished the simplified version yet. Who knew you would start trying to master the ship so soon? If you have a usable system, you should have fun! Just make do with it!"

After saying this with a tone that seemed to be gloating, Big E's voice disappeared from the hammer chat room, and even a Do Not Disturb sign was hung next to his profile picture. He looked at Big E The dark lady gritted her teeth at this obvious act of sneaking around - the next second, she turned her attention to the other hammer guys and started to catch the strong men.

"Come and help me do the math! I have returned these geometric gadgets to my teacher a long time ago!"

——————————————————In the chaos of computing navigation————————————

"Fortunately, I have you following me this time, Dr. Zhang. Otherwise, according to our level, this navigation would have taken several days - time is not an issue, the issue is boring!"

Ms. Darkness sat on the navigator's seat, quickly sketching the star map route using the data calculated by Li Zhi Zhang for herself. While maintaining her very solemn appearance, she ordered to walk into the bridge and said, "This is where I surrender to the emperor." How could the Emperor's Great Demon of Slaanesh still be working part-time as the navigator? It was so weird. Looking at her again, the ship's new chief chaplain was also serving as the ship's navigator. The ship's new captain, Gor'mar, a veteran of the Word Bearers of the Great Crusade, started the ship's engines and headed towards the system's relatively stable warp entrance, allowing the ship to enter the subspace program - and in Hammerlao In the chat room, she was already complaining - it would be a nightmare to have such a huge pile of messy data to be calculated by herself!

"It's okay, these are pretty basic."

Lich Zhang, who was holding a nine-point weapon that looked like the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, sat in front of the weapon console and spoke lightly, as if the problems that troubled the dark lady were just as simple as a meal for him.

"The subspace submersible takes several months at best. This is the first time we have encountered such a long dry period - everyone, what do you think we will do in these few months? How about we take turns to return to reality and hang up?"

Liang Feifan looked at the various estimated numbers on the star map that had been calculated in front of him with a subtle expression - it is true that he had never participated in missions based on months before, but this was the first time that the grass period was based on months. , just thinking about how I spent months squatting on this boat doing nothing...

Hiss, just thinking about it, Liang Feifan felt that he was not well.

"Isn't this a good time to make money? Don't forget that Big E's salary is based on 40K hours. Besides..."

The political commissar sister clicked on the internal projection of the battleship in front of her, and a "rough" smile appeared on the face of the descendant hidden behind the helmet.

"Considering the Geller force field coverage of our ship, I feel that we can't be too bored along the way. After all, there will always be some overly curious guys in the subspace who want to try to 'enter reality' opportunity, right?”

"Are you sure there will be subspace stuff coming to this ship? There are so many golden areas in this ship now!"

Turning his head to look at the glittering golden light that had gradually begun to spread on the ship, Liang Feifan's tone contained a hint of

A little doubt - after the Dark Lady's operation, the Word Bearers' cruiser has been slowly and irreversibly heading towards the road of being "corrupted by the power of Big E". Such a golden thing , what kind of subspace thing without eyes can hit it?

"I haven't changed the outer area of ​​the ship. Even now, from the outside, this ship still belongs to the Infinite Chaos - do you think this golden ship can be accepted by Erebus?"

She thought that her job as a navigator was over after calculating the route, but after some experimentation she discovered that she couldn't get out of the navigator's chair before reaching the finish line. Ms. Dark continued to grit her teeth, only to be met with a maniacal laugh from Lychee Zhang.

"Yes! Then let's see if there will be any 'unexpected surprises' on this subspace journey!"

30. Erebus must die! ——The summoned ‘uninvited guest’

Colors beyond the limits of human understanding that cannot be described in words are surging wildly.

The ebb and flow of chaotic energy driven by emotional thoughts.

Various whispers that could not be explained by reason rose and disappeared in the changing halo.

The past, present, and future are blended together here, and the rules of reality lose their meaning here—in the midst of madness, only those with a strong will can maintain their original intentions. Under endless temptation, only the extremely pious can not forget their original intention.

Even though humans have been using subspace submersible operations to conduct super-light navigation between galaxies for tens of thousands of years, it is just like when humans sailed in the ocean without leaving their home planet, the earth, they always faced the rough waves of the ocean. It’s easy to feel helpless—the majestic waves in the vast ocean can still cause irreversible and devastating effects on the ships sailing in them and the crew inside them. As long as there is the smallest flaw, not even a flaw that can be observed in reality, appears on the ship or the crew of the ship, the power of the supreme sky that cannot be detected by conventional means can easily penetrate into the space that is barely maintained by the Geller force field. into the materially stable ship, and then began to dismantle and reconstruct the stable combination in various ways according to 'its' instincts - this kind of behavior, even most of the time, is a pure energy behavior without 'malice', it is simply Just as the real universe hates subspace, subspace also hates reality...

Therefore, in this spiritual realm that hates reality, there is a fact that a battleship whose appearance is basically intact, with only a few key areas covered by the Geller force field suddenly jumps in from the Mandeville Point of a certain galaxy. , it seems very difficult for the guys in subspace to look at this ship - although Ran said that because the ship was badly damaged in the real universe, and then got carried away by the idea of ​​​​escape, it is not uncommon for idiots to let their ship rush into the subspace, but what do you think of this ship? It doesn't look like a hurried jump into the subspace, but more like...well, fearlessly seeking death?

However, most of the existences in the subspace are direct and irrational after all. After the initial doubts jumped in their soul sparks for a while, a small number of them smelled the breath of reality coming from the ship and saw the inside of the ship. Those subspace creatures with sparkling souls, driven by the purest desire, couldn't wait to take action. Move - they climbed onto the body of this ship, which could be said to be undefended for them. After a few simple experiments, they easily let themselves pass through the seemingly indestructible armor of the cruiser and penetrated into it. Internally - after confirming that they are not blocked by any means at all, these crazy beings have more "power of action".

"Hehehe..."

"Kekeke..."

"Quack quack..."

The unknown beings who successfully entered the cruiser let out laughter that mortals could not easily hear. The strange visitors turned into or blended into the shadows under the empty and pale light source. The eternally hungry monsters began to search the ship for something that would allow them to escape. Food of happiness and satisfaction - they seemed carefree and confident at first, until they ran into a group of empty warriors who seemed to be wrong.

"?"

A shadow-like thing dissolved in the shadow on the wall looked at one of these warriors for a while, and after confirming that these strange and unchanged things from the perspective of subspace creatures had not noticed him, he stretched out his hand without hesitation. He stretched out his spiritual tentacles and stabbed a warrior in the back with lightning speed - this subspace creature's idea was very simple - no matter how strange this walking thing was, as long as it was hit by the thorns on its own tentacles. Capture, then it can get the answer from the spirit of the prey!

The next second...

"Gah?"

When the spiritual tentacles of this subspace creature were entangled with its target, an 'answer' it had never thought of appeared in its mind - a hollow! The thing it was entangled with was a hollow. !An empty thing that only has its shape but no soul! But how is this possible? This is subspace, and the inside of subspace is not...

However, there was little time for this subspace creature to think about more profound questions. Before it realized that something was wrong and wanted to take back its spiritual tentacles, the golden flames rising from the 'soulless warrior' had already followed its path. The tentacles spread to its body - without leaving a trace of scream, the subspace creature was completely turned into dust under the burning fire.

——————————————

——The dividing line between hammer guys————————————

"There's something nice about an open map with random monsters - given the size of the cruiser, I think I could grind here for months without getting bored."

Liang Feifan, who still used the captain of the Black Legion as his descending body, raised his hand burning with golden flames and easily strangled a very random-looking subspace creature that rushed towards him. Then he swung his arm and smashed its remains, which had not yet been scattered into basic subspace energy residues, at several more random-looking subspace creatures that wanted to escape in the distance. He used the flames attached to the residues to ignite them all into torches. When he was sure that all those things had turned into small points, Liang Feifan happily began to express his feelings about the ship life experience in the past few days in the Hammer Man chat group. In short, it was great!

"Indeed, I think we are playing a high-end version of Dark Tide now - you and Lizhi Zhang's descended bodies are the firepower points, my World Eater Veteran descended bodies are the charging units, and the Dark Lady's Slaanesh Succubus temporary descended bodies are the psykers - the standard Dark Tide four-man team." The political commissar sister, who had just killed a thing that looked a bit like Khorne, but was definitely not a Khorne thing, retracted her chainsaw axe and slightly turned her head to look at a passage beside her - the passage seemed quiet, but on the screen in front of her, several red outlines in the passage were extremely conspicuous. "Boo-hoo-hoo-hoo! So why don't you allow me to use the Slaanesh Great Demon chess piece as a psyker? Big Brother E is not a decent person!!"

The Dark Lady, who attacked as a Slaanesh succubus, had a sad face. She used her psychic power to pinch the soul sparks of the things that thought they could launch attacks in the passage, making them walk out of the hidden area painfully. When these guys left their shelters, Litchi Zhang and Liang Feifan opened fire at the same time, using explosions and flames to simply send them back to the cycle of the subspace.

"Because Big Brother E is worried that you will do something that will make his heart unbearable. Do you think the refresh speed of the monsters in front has become faster?"

Litchi Zhang, who completely felt that the Dark Lady's current "end" was her own fault, lit up his force field Guandao, and simply cut a subspace creature that passed through the wall and wanted to sneak attack him into pieces, while "suppressing" the Dark Lady who was trying to become a whimpering monster in the chat channel.

"Because going down here is the place where the Word Bearers conducted large-scale sacrifices before - the area where the barrier between the warp and reality was artificially weakened by them."

The Dark Lady, who had already imprinted all the strange things about this ship in her mind, quickly opened the internal structure diagram of the cruiser and pointed out a red area in front of them to the other Hammers - although there was no picture description, the term "large-scale sacrifice" had already made the other three Hammers feel cold in their hearts - a place that could be given this purpose by the war group in the Eye of Terror must have carried God knows how many tragic mountains of corpses and seas of blood!

"Has that area been purified?"

After a short silence, it was the voice of the political commissar sister that broke the silence first.

"It has been purified long ago. Big E tied my Rusalka to that chair and also wanted me to be a buffer. He planned to use his power to purify the entire ship. That place was the first to be purified. However, many things cannot be purified once and for all, especially some neutral things. Even Big E's power is powerless. We can only let time slowly eliminate them."

————————————————The Hammers are moving forward——————————————————————————

"Lady Dark, is this the purified area you mentioned?"

Political Commissar Sister stood on the platform at the end of the passage, her eyes twitching as she looked at the huge square below the platform, which was covered with all kinds of blasphemous runes that she could not understand, but from the breath, she could tell that they were all related to the four brothers in the warp. She looked at the remains of the victims hanging on the execution pillars that were clearly arranged in a certain pattern, the ritual braziers that were still smoldering with colorful colors, and the spice pots that were still emitting ominous smoke. She didn't think that this area was purified.

"No, I clearly remember that Big E burned this area several times with his flames. Why is it still like this? Is there something wrong with my guiding Big E's power?"

Ms. Dark leaned on the railing, stuck her head out, and looked down hard, trying to find every trace of Big E's sacred power burning here. However, after repeatedly observing it with the observation power of the Slaanesh Succubus chess piece, Ms. Dark had to admit in frustration that this area now looks like the base that maintains the blasphemous ritual without any changes.

"Ask Big E? This situation must be an abnormal situation!"

Liang Feifan, who felt that this matter might be a bit big, said while quickly knocking on Big E's head portrait with the word "busy" in the Hammer chat room, and at the same time stuffed all the details they found and the pictures they took in front of Big E. About five seconds later, Big E replied.

"Don't worry. This is the last pain of the souls remaining in this area, combined with the time chaos of the subspace, which causes the overlap of the past and the present. The area you see now is what it looked like before it was purified. Just leave it alone. When the pain of the souls inside is completely gone, this overlap will also disappear." "In other words, just leave it alone - but the time chaos sounds bad, should we go around it?"

After receiving the reply from Big Brother E, Liang Feifan breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at his teammates. The political commissar agreed, Lich Zhang agreed, but the Dark Lady...she seemed to have another strange idea?

"Don't you think this place is suitable for fishing?"

Before Liang Feifan asked the Dark Lady what other ideas she had, the Dark Lady's claws pointed to the center of the area below that was full of reverberations of the past that blasphemed the word "blasphemy" - there was a huge chaos magic circle, and because the cruiser was already in the subspace, the magic circle was already in a "semi-activated" state.

"Dark Lady, you don't want to activate that magic circle and then fish for the Chaos Four vendors to beat them, do you?"

Because of the Dark Lady's previous consecutive operations, the political commissar, who could barely keep up with the Hammer's thinking circuit, frowned.

"Yes, yes! Don't you think that if we really regard our current situation as a super version of Dark Tide, this place would be a good place to earn points? The demons under the Four Gods are converted into points and so on, which is higher than the messy subspace creatures in Big Brother E's place!"

The Dark Lady rubbed the crab claws of her descended body, and her tone was full of impatience.

"Summon the things under the hawker's command? Are you sure there won't be any trouble? What if something comes that we can't deal with?"

Hearing that the Dark Lady even wanted to use the afterimages of the past that appeared in the subspace due to the chaotic time, and actually wanted to summon the subordinates of those four things to let them beat them up, Liang Feifan was still horrified even though he knew that the Dark Lady would most likely be a big life.

"Definitely not! Don't forget that our essence is the creation of Big E's power. Using our power to start the ritual, even if the chaos ritual gets out of control, the result will be... um..."

The Dark Lady suddenly got stuck. The others thought that this thing was feasible but the risk was a bit high. Hammer also came to his senses and realized that this operation was completely unfeasible for them - no matter how blasphemous and unnatural their bodies looked, their inner essence was still Big E's power. Using this kind of power to fish for demons in the subspace? I'm afraid they would just destroy the nest!

"Hey, I thought I could use a bug to get points... No hope, no hope - what? Big E? You want us to start the ceremony?"

——————————————The dividing line in the warp——————————————————

Grey Knight Grand Master Cardo Diego stood on a blood-soaked wasteland of the warp, holding his weapon tightly in his hand, staring at the Khorne Daemon who was confronting him with a firm gaze, and adjusting his breathing heavily - carrying the curse of his nemesis, wandering in the warp for years, facing such an opponent is already commonplace - Chaos demons challenged him, made promises to him, laughed at him for the meaninglessness of his actions in the warp, and mocked him for trying to fight against the power of destruction with the will of mortals - these filthy things always tried to take away his soul, describing for himself the beautiful picture of giving up everything, strength, power, status, eternity... Endless temptations appeared in front of Diego at any time and anywhere, tempting the Grey Knight Grand Master to put down his sword and embrace the true meaning of the warp.

But, so what? Human pride, how can these tearless monsters understand it?

"The Blood God has ordered that whoever takes your head will be promoted to the next level and rewarded with eight bloody battles."

The voice of the bloodthirsty demon rumbled in the chaotic air, setting off a bloody wave. Knowing that this was the signal that the Khorne demon officially challenged him, Diego took a deep breath and prepared to withstand the first round of attacks from the bloodthirsty demon. After countless battles, the Grey Knight Grand Master was familiar enough with this kind of always furious demon. He had roughly simulated the way this demon would attack in his mind.

Then, Diego saw the light, the light that should not appear in this chaotic field.

"?"

Before Diego could figure out the source of the light, a powerful force made him fly to a crack that suddenly opened up. The next second, he found himself stepping into a golden area, and the bloodthirsty demon who wanted to challenge him just now also landed beside him.

"Fuck! Khorne Demon! Fuck! Fight!!"

Before Kaldo Diego could take a closer look at this area where the Emperor's sacred aura could be clearly felt, a 'passionate' war cry reached his ears. Diego turned his head and found that a guy who should be the captain of the Black Legion had already rushed to his vicinity and was blasting the Khorne Demon with his power weapon, knocking out a cloud of demon blood.

"???"

For some reason, this guy who should be a Chaos rebel ignored him and chose to attack the Khorne Demon without hesitation. The Grey Knights' Grand Master decided to wait and see, and was ready to finish off the two things together - in this area that was obviously holy land, Kaldo Diego was confident that he could do this.

However, the next second

, something even more incomprehensible to the Grey Knights' Grand Master happened -

"For the Emperor! Tear up this Khorne thing ah ah ah ah ah ah!!"

A Slaanesh succubus with the scent of the holy oil of the state religion and the mark of purity on its body raised its pincers and roared a war cry that was extremely outrageous for a demon, rushing towards the bloodthirsty demon who raised his weapon to fight back against the warrior of the Black Legion. On the pincers, the pure psychic energy that the Grey Knights Grand Master was very familiar with lingered - theoretically, for ordinary Slaanesh demons like succubus, the psychic energy that would kill them if touched!

"......"

Thirty-one. Erebus must die! ——'Cheating' Grey Knights Grand Master
