Infinite Stream Metaverse

Chapter 450 Secondary Goals Are Also Important
Forge world of Atal Median.

The airport, inside a mechanical ark.

The ruler sage, Hieronymus Gant, stood alone in the center of the laboratory, holding a data tablet between the exquisite mechanical tentacles, and was watching silently with his head down. The six dark green mechanical prosthetic eyes shone with unknown meaning.

The picture on the data tablet is shaking a bit, and the camera is always facing the sky, from an upward perspective.This video was taken from the mechanical prosthetic eye of a cathar Alpha. The recorded footage was the titan battle in Al Yass Forged World, the fierce battle between the Jaeger Legion and the Sanchen Legion.

In the rugged and sloping valley, a Warlord-class Titan is slowly approaching a Predator-class Titan.This warrior-level titan was scratching the ground like a wild beast, exuding a strange feeling.Even through the screen, the ruler sage felt a hint of animal-like instinctive danger and fear. One can imagine how frightened the Predator-class Titan crew would be when they faced this thing.Then something even more surprising happened. This warrior-level Titan raised its head and let out a deafening howl of rage.

Titans can actually bark?

"Gears and cogs. On Mars, what have these fellows done to the holy engine?"

The ruler sage spoke to himself.

The footage in the video continues to play.

The warlord-level titan approached menacingly and quickly.Before the Predator-class Titan raised its weapon to take aim, it hit its chest.The warrior-class titan's shoulders pressed against the cockpit, and the marauder-class titan was violently impacted.The two Titans pushed and shoved each other like wild beasts.

Facing the predator-class titan, the warrior-class titan has an absolute advantage in terms of strength and weight, shaking the predator to back again and again.The warlord swung its fallen angel-shaped power claws, first broke a pipe, and then tore apart an arm... It was extremely ferocious and violent, but it felt brainless—not only the ruler sage, but also the predator-level titan in the video Also realized this.The medium-sized titan moved sideways to dodge, defusing the momentum of the warrior-level titan.Unable to react, the large titan lunged forward, only to stumble and have to raise its powered claws to grip the cliff to prevent it from falling completely to the ground.

Wise choice, beautiful operation.

The Magi of Dominion couldn't resist paying tribute to the Marauder Titan pilot crew.Although the Titans of the Jaeger Legion don't have the berserk power of chaotic power, they still have reason, and they know how to adopt a strategy, although this strategy is not enough to bridge the gap in combat power between large and medium-sized Titans.

The Ruler Sage is already mentally prepared.

Prepare to see Predator-class Titans die.

The large titan, which had been reduced to some kind of demonic engine, pulled its claws out of the rock wall at once, then turned around and chased after the predator titan.The Predator-class Titan was fleeing along the steep mountain road, the mechanical claw was buckled on the side of the mountain wall, only a hundred meters away from the depression below, and it was in danger.In the video screen, Skitarii Alpha is also turning around and running wildly.The white snow drifts through the darkness, and the unfathomable ravines can be seen in a panoramic view.

Up to now, all the images appearing in the video are still within the expectation of the ruling sage.Even the strange titan that was corrupted by the demon was not the first time. The existence of these blasphemous machine gods has always been kept highly secret by the Titan Order, but the status of the ruling sage allowed him to understand these secrets.

"boom--"

The screen was suddenly flooded with blue light.

The mechanical prosthetic eye of Skitarii Alpha must be far superior in quality to Skitarii Vanguard and Skitarii Rangers, but the mechanical prosthetic eye that recorded this picture is still overexposed, and within two to three seconds the entire There are only blue and white stripes flickering and floating on the screen.When the electronic sensory components recovered their vision and the picture was refocused, the ruler suddenly discovered...

The Warlord Titan shoulders are gone.

The demon titan stood on the cliff blankly.

The missing shoulders exposed scorched and melted precision parts and wiring ducts, and there were some disgusting substances like fleshy growths between the cables and gears.In the next second, a giant black long tail with thorns flashed across the screen.

"Snapped!"

The demon titan's head was blown off.

An inhuman, distorted whine erupted from the headless fuselage.

What it is! ?

The ruler sage was taken aback, and quickly looked back at this scene.The speed of the video was reduced to an extremely slow speed, and the images flashed frame by frame. The long black tail was fixed in the middle of the screen, similar to the tail of some kind of reptile, with thorns ranging from large to small on one side, and those thorns were abnormal It was sharp and easily severed the structure between the demon titan's head and the fuselage.

Skitarii Alpha was also surprised.

Soon, the overall image of the instigator appeared on the screen. It was a mountain-like black monster that easily climbed over the ridge, and its body almost filled the valley. Snow, gravel, and sand rolled down the cliff.The monster stared at the surviving Predator Titan, with a murderous look in its sharp eyes, the Predator Titan was so frightened that it stayed where it was and did not dare to move, but the monster seemed to have received some instructions and ignored the middle class Type Titan, turned and left.

Why is this again?
He recovered from the shock of the monster.

The Ruler Sage quickly noticed the anomaly.

Why isn't it attacking a Marauder Titan?

With a thought in his mind, the ruler sage freezes the moment the monster's whole body appears, zooms in, zooms in, zooms in, and a clear figure appears above the monster's head: a space warrior wearing black gold power armor and holding a chainsaw sword.

Hiss... Iron Buddha battle group!

The ruling sage still has a fresh memory of this color scheme.

Why are they again?

The matter of the four-armed Titan is not over yet—Sage Xiao Fei of Phaeton Forge World is very firm. This technical priest from the Firebee Legion has no respect for Mars and keeps secret about the technology of the Four-armed Titan. He is neither willing nor willing. Accepting any form of negotiation and exchange is really abominable.Now another giant black beast appeared, and the sage Gant was very suspicious that this giant black beast was the work of Quinto.

The ruler sage didn't know Xiao Fei, because Xiao Fei was just a small relic guard in the Firebee Legion, responsible for maintaining the Titan.But he knew Master Quinto, the two were colleagues before, and both were members of the Mars Forging Council.

Master Quinto was also a famous biological sage with a head and a face in the past, in charge of his own casting temple—otherwise, the Primarch of the White Scars would not have specially sent someone to escort him back to Mars.Later, for some unknown reason, Quinto actually asked the foundry leader to dispatch him to a scientific research site in a remote star area to serve as the foundry director there—yes, in the eyes of the Martians, Phaeton is not a foundry world at all. At best, it is a research station, and Mars is the closest place to the God of Myriad Opportunities. Unless they are relegated to exile, no one wants to go to that kind of wilderness.

Now it seems that this move...

It's all about avoiding the censorship of the Forging Council!
"Quinto Anastasio..."

The Ruler Sage lowered his voice and said:
"Damn aliens!"

It's a four-armed Titan and a black behemoth. What is Phaeton Forge World researching?Even if the ruler sage is really slow, it can be seen at this moment that the Phaeton Forge World definitely has some special relationship with the Iron Buddha Chapter.Although Aoyama Khan is a master forge, the Iron Buddha Chapter is a White Scars regiment, not a sub-band of the Iron Hands. They are not the kind of space warriors who openly believe in the way of the Om Messiah.The chapter's relationship with Mars is good, but limited.

The ruler sage stretched out a mechanical tentacle, the end of the finger was a miniature laser cutting device, and slowly ablated and carved a line of small characters on the metal table in front of him:
Aoyama · Khan.

The ruler sage thought silently.

This person will not be removed for a day.

His secret can never be safe.

The ruler sage raised his head, the mechanical prosthetic eyes flickered, activating the intracranial wireless communication data connection:

"Come here, inform Skitarii Alpha, Frynos-361-A2, and ask him to come see me immediately."

"Confirm, Ruler Sage."

The servitor outside the door sent back an answer immediately.

Frynos-361-A2 is the cathar Alpha who recorded the battle of the black monster.

Not long after, two mechanical servants dressed in noble and gorgeous clothes and beautifully transformed into machines led a skitaris Alpha and walked in.This Martian radiation soldier looks exactly like the Skitarii Vanguard: wearing a gear-bound red robe and gray metal armor, the Skitarii pot helmet completely covers his face, only the golden gear helmet crown on the helmet , to remind others of his identity, he is an Alpha squad leader.

Before entering the Mechanical Ark, Skitarii Alpha had already unloaded all weapons, and the three of them came to the Sage Ruler, bowed and saluted, and sent a message at the same time:
"Respected Master Hieronymus Gant, the ruler and sage, the living manifestation of the wrath of the Mech God, the man in charge of the Mech Legion. I extend my highest respect to you."

The ruler sage raised a tentacle:
"Okay, no need to be polite...wait!"

The ruling sage suddenly stared at the cathar Alpha, the three pairs of mechanical prosthetic eyes kept flickering, and the few remaining sparse eyebrows were tightly frowned, and he said solemnly:
"I'm reading your personal information label. There is nothing wrong with your service history. However, just three weeks ago, there was a trace of tampering in your file information, a period of untraceable data erasure and byte migration. Be very careful...Unfortunately, it was still scanned by me."

Hearing the words of the ruler sage, the two seemingly unarmed mechanical servants immediately lifted off their gorgeous robes, revealing a lot of unique weapons of Mechanicus: arc hammer, taser stick, radium Pistols, high-frequency knives, short darts, gamma pistols... all pointed at Skitarii Alpha.The Skitarii squad leader was immediately surrounded by gunpoint.

The laboratory door opened quickly.

Two five-meter-tall Castellan intelligent control mechs stepped in with a "thump, thud, thump", and the weapons on their arms and left shoulders were condescendingly aimed at Skitarii Alpha.

The scene became a little quiet for a while.

"You are trying to deceive a ruler sage in the field of data! Ridiculous, ignorance makes you arrogant, your flaws and loopholes are as obvious to me as oil on the circuit! Tell me, who are you and why do you want to enter Mechanical Ark?"

The ruler sage asked sharply.

"Hehehehe..."

Skitarii Alpha laughed.

The gender in his file is male, but at this moment the voice is obviously female.I saw that the Alpha squad leader calmed down and began to slowly unbutton the armor and robe. The armor, red robe and shoulder pads fell to the ground, revealing a graceful figure wrapped in a tight black uniform. Skitarii Alpha finally raised his hand and removed the closed helmet, revealing a masked face with no eyepiece and full of pot-shaped metal implants.

The ruling sage exclaimed in horror:
"Vannus Assassin!"

At the moment when the ruling sage lost his mind.

"Data flood erosion!"

The assassin in black stared fixedly at the ruler sage.

"Crack! Crack!"

The two mechanized servants beside the Vannus Assassin, and the two Castellan intelligent control mechas behind him, suddenly sparked and arced all over their bodies, and all the weapons in their hands were out of control. Floating up, the machine body malfunctioned and jammed, only two "puff tom" and "puff tom" were heard, and the fully armed mechanized servant fell to the floor, and the intelligent control machine also froze and couldn't move.The firepower surrounding the assassin was lifted instantly.

Only the ruler sage is still trying his best to lift his mechanical tentacles, the six mechanical prosthetic eyes of the sage Gant are running at high speed, his face is tense, and he makes a voice intermittently:
"A mere assassin, don't even think about...don't even think about defeating the servant of Mechanism, your trick... can only last...for a short while! After I escape from the trap, it will be your death!"

The Vannus Assassins are the data masters of the Assassin Court. They can mislead and destroy the enemy by intercepting communications and destroying signals. Some unfortunate assassination targets may even find that their weapons suddenly start targeting themselves.But these Assassins were not usually the ones who did the killing themselves. They were often in the rear, using their hacking abilities to track down the enemies of the Empire on the assassination list, and then handing them off to other Assassins to carry out their missions. Few escaped the notice of these typical data spies.

Time passed second by second.

As the data confrontation intensifies.

The confidence of the ruling sage has greatly increased.

Although Vannus Assassin is also very strong.

But after all, it is not the opponent of the ruler sage!
The ruler sage Hieronymus Gant is not a mediocrity, and the Nemonix sage is just an exception. In the field of data, few people can surpass Mars.

"Hmm, is it?"

Assassin Vannus chuckled lightly.

At this moment, the left one of the two mechanical servants lying on the floor covered in smoke suddenly changed and pulled, as if melting rapidly.In an instant, she changed from a stiff mechanical servant to a masked young girl wrapped in a tight black uniform, with a brown-red braid on her head, hanging all the way to her waist.

The assassin girl's long legs were bent, her muscles tensed and swollen, she suddenly kicked the ground with force, and with a "snap", she jumped out at a speed comparable to that of an Astartes in an instant.On the outside of her wrist was fixed a dark green straight-edged rapier made of unknown mysterious metal, like a leopard preying on prey, the blade turned into a black shadow and a green light, and went straight to the Ruler Sage.

The ruler sage was caught off guard.

"Shh!"

The ruler's sage was transformed with a large number of mechanical prosthetic bodies, but the moment he was touched by the strange green blade, there was no sound of the golden sword clashing. It was extremely smooth, smooth and natural, and the blade easily cut half of the technical priest's body. .

"pat..."

The ruler sage fell to the ground in two halves.

"Calidus..."

Laryngeal vocalizer spits out the last word.

The body of the ruling sage collapsed and fell apart.

However, the black-clothed assassin has not stopped yet.

The light of the knife in his hand flew quickly, cutting across the body of the ruler sage in all directions. Every piece of data storage core and every computing enhancement component was cut into scraps by the green blade. Not a single piece of the mechanical prosthetic body transformation survived.

"I am the daughter of Callidus."

The female assassin in black dropped a sentence:

"I bring death in the name of the Emperor."

This sudden killing ended.

The Vannus Assassin looked around the laboratory.

This is a well-planned assassination operation.The ruler sage never thought that the tampering trace that appeared in the catharsis Alpha information file was intentionally left behind by her, the purpose was to attract the attention of the ruler sage and let him focus on himself, so that Ignore one of his machine servants, who has already been replaced by a Callidus assassin.

"Target confirmed dead."

The Vannus female assassin said calmly:

"The mission is over, ready to evacuate."

Suddenly, she found that her teammates were staring down at the experimental table next to the corpse of the ruler sage, motionless.

"what happened to you?"

Vannus Assassin asked puzzledly.

"Nothing, I found an interesting name."

Callidus Assassin said.

Her palm lightly stroked the concave pattern etched on the metal table top, which read "Qingshan·Khan".

"Don't create extravagances."

The Vannus Assassin warns:

"Let's go, before the guards on the mechanical ark can react, we must evacuate here as soon as possible."

"Ok."

Callidus Assassin said softly.

……

Some may escape the Justice Department's ruling, and even fewer may confront the Imperial Guard and the Adeptus Astartes head-on, but they will all understand in the end...

No one can stand against the Order of Assassins.

Target of Sanctions:

Hieronymus Gant, ca. 675.

Logician, level super-rational; blacksmith, level master of source power; member of the Mars Forging Council (for full titles, please refer to the purple-level briefing material, independent packaging).Three months ago on Terra time, Te was appointed by the Foundry Commander Zagreos Cain to serve as the Commander Sage of all Mechanicus troops in the Iron Ring War Zone until the end of the war.

Hieronymus Gant secretly contacted the Nemonix sage of the "Data Supervision" sect of the local mechanical god sect in the Orestes knight world (it has been found out that the technical priest is a follower of Nurgle), Conspired to kill the Draconis family, a family of loyal imperial knights, which led to the destruction of all members of the Draconis family, and at the same time caused the deployment of all the Titans in the Iron Ring to be leaked, causing heavy losses.

There is no sign that Hieronymus Gant has abandoned his loyalty to the empire, but the interests of the Mechanicus and his personal interests are obviously higher than the interests of the empire, and his status will cause his existence to greatly threaten the security of the empire.

Security Threat Level: Very High

evidence:

Report from Grand Inquisitor Sid Nora.

Primary goal:

Members of the Execution Squad are authorized by the Imperial Council to use all available means to eliminate Hieronymus Gant.

Secondary goals:

The Imperial Council approved the execution team to use all feasible means to mitigate the possible collateral damage caused by the death of the ruler sage, and try not to affect the operation of the Iron Ring theater.

+Action proves everything, the end does not matter the means+
+End of order, destroy immediately+
……

It took no more than 5 minutes for the Magi to die.

It alarmed the guards on the mechanical ark.

A large number of cathars and technical priests rushed to his laboratory, and found that the ruler sage himself had turned into a pile of mechanical debris, poured into a pool of blood and engine oil.

Tech-priests immediately began surveying the scene.

One detail at the scene of the incident is puzzling.

On the test bench of the ruler sage, the center of the metal tabletop was cut by some kind of sharp tool, and there was a mass of messy and dense scratches all over it. All the technical priests didn't know what the meaning of these scratches represented, as if... cover?
