Infinite Stream Metaverse

Chapter 46 Prophecy
Through the porthole of the Stormbird, Fu Qihai looked at the ugly land below that was devastated and covered with cracks caused by the movement of the earth's crust.

Transport ships still hide in these large and deep chasms.

It doesn't matter, the positions of the three ships have been ascertained, the power plants of the spacecraft have been destroyed, and it is difficult to fly with wings inserted.

In this desolate and dead land with no creatures, no history, no legends, the Ultramarines and the Word Bearers experienced a bloody battle.

Including Fu Qihai himself, this group of Astartes, the most elite and most advanced biological weapons of the human empire, fought bloody battles here.

They are full of wits, and they fight wits and courage.

Magic and technology, loyalty and faith.

They fight, they die.

After all, it is just a small microcosm of a local battle.

And this Horus Rebellion swept across the entire human empire and devastated hundreds of billions of lives.

In the history of the entire galaxy, compared with events such as the Battle of Heaven, the Birth of Slaanesh, and the Iron Man Rebellion, compared with those wars that overthrew the galaxy, genocide, and master change, the Horus Rebellion was nothing more than a war The intensity and scale are nothing more than mediocre wars.

Thinking about all this, Fu Qihai easily fell into a kind of nihilistic melancholy.

What is the purpose of living... What is the meaning of fighting... What is sacrificed for...

After all, it is just a speck of dust in the universe.

Fortunately, the cold notification sound from the reincarnation world pulled Fu Qihai back from Plato's three philosophical questions in time.

[With your help, the cruiser Sosaran of the Ultramarine Corps won the planetary encounter on Loswell 7 and reached a stage milestone event! 】

[Start calculating assimilation points... 1675 points]

The assimilation points rewarded by the reincarnation world are much higher than those of the team that destroyed the Qinping group.

It is probably because the reincarnation world thinks that the enchanted warriors and hell beasts that appeared on Loswell 7 are beyond my ability... Fu Chenghai was thinking wildly, guessing the logic of the assimilation points given by the reincarnation world.

The Stormbird was getting farther and farther away from the planet, and the deep chasm had been blurred, leaving only a bare black-gray sphere.

……

At this time, on the transport ship Bloodworm in the surface rift, the story is not over yet.

The main control room of the Blood Worm.

Takashita Hiroshi panicked, unlike the pretentious elegance when he showed his ability in front of Crofa, at this moment he was like a frightened fly, scurrying around without thinking.

"How to do how to do……"

Liao Xiahong held his head and lost his inch.

He originally thought that his spell field had been successfully cast, and according to Klofa's original plan, it would be easy to kill this group of Ultramarines.

Unexpectedly, even Clofa himself was killed.

The two trump cards of the Word Bearers transport fleet—sacrificing the enchanted warriors and awakening the hell beasts that should have been thrown into the battlefield of Terra—were used by Crofar.

It turned out that Ryoshita Hiroshi didn't know why Clofa was so confident and confident to let the Ultramarines stay on the surface of the planet.

The moment he saw the terrifying enchanted warrior and hell beast, he understood.

Liao Xiahong felt that this hand should be sure.

But never expected that even the mighty hell beasts and enchanted warriors were defeated.

"It's all to blame for that space warrior in white armor..." Hiroshita Takashita thought with a sad face.

Fu Qihai is wearing a red-edged power armor with a white background, which is completely different from the dark blue power armor of the Ultramarines, which is very conspicuous in the eyes of the reincarnators.

What's more, he also single-handedly killed Clofa, the Word Bearers commander of the transport fleet, the unfathomable and extremely powerful existence in the minds of reincarnation rebels in the fleet.

It's different from Alicia the Heartbreaker, who knows that the white armor warrior is powerful, but decides to assassinate him to earn more assimilation points.

Lying in front of the porthole and witnessing Fu Qihai single-handedly killing Klofa, Liaoshita Hiroshi has lost the courage to fight against him.

Takashita Hiroshi, who knew that the Word Bearers were gone, wondered if the Ultramarines would search the entire transport ship after their victory. He desperately wanted to find a place to hide himself.

However, he saw the Ultramarines leave the surface of the planet one after another, either by teleportation or by landing craft.

"It seems that their losses are also very huge, and they have lost the ability to search the entire transport ship..." Liao Xiahong thought to himself.

Liaoshita Hiroshi, who was relieved, forgot what Klofer told them at first.

The Ultramarines have a lunar cruiser parked in space orbit, ready to launch an orbital bombing here at any time.

……

The engine control room where Fu Qihai was stabbed through.

The blood spilled on the ground has dried up, and the corridor is quiet.

A little old woman with gray hair and brown spots in a shabby cloth robe walked over with a smile.

It was the old lady Fu Qihai met in the bilge prison who claimed to be the prophet Agu.

She said to herself:
"After watching for a long time, I didn't see where is the existence that can attract the attention of the four gods. Who is the existence mentioned in the prophecy?"

She walked slowly to the hatch of the engine control room, and looked at the body of the woman in black lying on the ground inside.

"Could it be the boy with the white scar? In the whole incident, he looks a little strange, like a hero, but... not enough, he is far from enough."

"...It's not far enough to attract the attention of the four gods."

The old woman walked into the cabin while talking in a low voice, and knelt down slowly in front of a pool of congealed blood.

"But no matter what, the future of the Milky Way is always the most important. Even if it is an ordinary human hero, the Secret Cult should have his information in advance."

Thinking in her heart, the old woman stretched out a skinny old finger and dipped it in the congealed blood on the floor.

"Show me your future, strange boy with white scars."

She put her blood-soaked fingers into her mouth, closed her eyes, and tasted it carefully.

In her mind, with a "boom", a picture appeared.

As if in a person's dream, the surrounding scenery is blurred and chaotic, and she floats above a church like a ghost.

At this moment, the steeple church with obvious imperial gothic style seems to be under some kind of alien attack, which is a blue-skinned, noseless, emaciated humanoid alien.

But they are wearing a tall and sensitive combat device with great long-range shooting power.

The Prophet Agu lowered his gaze and quickly came to the interior of the church.

Inside the church, the large and towering hall was filled with religious figures in gorgeous robes. Regardless of the hail of bullets outside, they chanted and praised loudly, surrounding a crystal coffin.

The prophet Agu saw at a glance that the crystal coffin was a stasis force field device, the time inside would be frozen, and the objects inside could be preserved for tens of thousands of years.

The ordinary soldiers of the empire outside the church have gradually been unable to resist the alien attack, and they are retreating into the church step by step.

Alien bullets and lasers had pierced the stained glass windows of the church, knocking the pages of books and candles off the shelves and splattering the candles.

But the group of religious people still ignored it and chanted loudly around the coffin.

It seems that the people in the coffin are their last hope and savior.

It seems that awakening the people in the coffin will usher in a Jedi counterattack.

The Prophet Agu looked into the transparent crystal coffin. Inside was a handsome black-haired young man with a young face. Judging by his size, he was probably an Astartes.

If this is not the boy with the white scar, who is it?

Suddenly, just as the defenders were gradually exhausted and the enemy was about to break into the church, the person in the crystal coffin suddenly opened his eyes!
He sat up abruptly from the stasis field.

Around, the religious people who saw him waking up burst into cheers, and the voices of praising the emperor came and went.

The morale of the soldiers who were struggling to defend and resist was also boosted.

Unexpectedly, the black-haired young man who woke up grabbed a plasma pistol in his hand and blasted the head of a religious person next to him with one shot.

The brain was split open and blood spattered everywhere.

The black-haired young man sneered and said:

"I hate religion the most!"

"Boom—" The picture in my mind disappeared at this moment, and the old woman returned to the quiet and cold engine control room.

Her eyes widened, she gasped for breath, her face was full of horror.

Big drops of sweat dripped from her wrinkled forehead and splashed on the cold metal floor.

"No...no...you can't let him live to the future..." The old woman was trembling as she recalled the scene just now.

The old woman at this moment doesn't know what is the state religion and what is the emperor, but she knows, or a branch of secret religion believes:
Only that man, that being called the Emperor, that icy sun, can fight against the four evil gods of chaos in the subspace and protect all human beings in the galaxy after he truly becomes a god.

And if the black-haired young man, a staunch materialist, is allowed to live 1 years later, then he will definitely be a disaster with endless disasters.

At the beginning, the most mysterious organization in the galaxy, the Secret Cult, supported the Horus Rebellion. Their prophecy believed that the huge empire would eventually become the nourishment of the four chaotic gods of the subspace, nourishing them to grow and eventually destroying All living beings in the universe.

So they have been planning to assassinate the loyal Primarch, and they have also instigated Alpharius, the Primarch of the Alpha Legion, by some means.

However, some prophets of the Eldar race have a different view from them. The prophecy of the Eldar race believes that only when the Empire of the Eldar race has been destroyed can the human empire remain in existence as the galaxy's defense against the forces of chaos. main force.

As a result, many actions of the esoteric religion were prevented.

As a result, there was a split within the Esoteric Church, and some people believed that they should not continue to support the rebels.

Among them, only she herself knows what sect and branch the Prophet Agu belongs to.

…………

　1. The esoteric sect split is something I made up myself, and there is no such setting in the official novel.

2. The prophecy of the prophet Agu may not be filled until a long time later. In the outline, this is a foreshadowing I made for the follow-up plot "Age of Apostasy" of Warhammer 40K, so I will say it clearly!
