Infinite Metaverse

Cruiser Lima, captain's cabin.

The battleship is sailing towards the Marquez King area.

This time when he came out to pick up people, Fu Qinghai did not take the Suzheng, because the speed of the combat barge was relatively slow, and it would be a waste of time to use it to travel. After all, it was impossible to jump into subspace all the time, and the sublight speed of the strike cruiser was faster.

In the captain's room, Fu Qinghai and No. 56 sat opposite each other. The sea snake warrior had a depressed look on his face. He raised his hand to pour the wine, then raised his head and drank the wine in one sip. Then he kept repeating this action, and the bottle of strong wine quickly reached the bottom.

"how?"

Fu Qinghai leaned on the back of his chair and asked:

"Were you beaten in other reincarnation worlds?"

"Who can beat me?"

No. 56 shook his head and sighed:

"When I think of my large-scale planning in the Calixis sector, the intelligence network I worked so hard to build, my hidden stakes, my spies, my Splatoon mortal agents... …It’s all gone! When I think about this, it’s worse than killing me, shit.”

The more No. 56 talked, the angrier he became:

"Fuck Tzeentch, fuck Yun Yun, fuck Warp Storm, fuck fuck fuck..."

At the beginning of No. 56, after he initially accepted the transformation into a space warrior, he left the anchor of the world in the Warhammer 40K universe. He also seriously operated this reincarnation world as his base and lair.

He vigorously trained and developed mortal agents in the Calixis sector next door, and penetrated into every aspect of the sector. No slightest movement in the sector could escape his eyes and ears - except for the time when he was ambushed by his teacher "Crow Plague" .

However, the sneak attack by the Tzeentch Demon and the Chaos Warband came so suddenly that No. 56 had no time to account for all his men at that time. He could only make a few casual arrangements and rush to the Phaeton Forge World on a merchant ship without stopping.

Then he was trapped in the subspace.

Until now, he finally got out of trouble and returned.

Now, more than a thousand years have passed, and mortals do not have as long a lifespan as a Space Marine. During this thousand years, things have changed, and the maintenance and development of the intelligence system requires time and energy. The original layout and plans of No. 56 , I’m afraid it has disappeared over time.

Fu Qinghai also became silent after hearing this.

This is also not a good thing for the Chapter.

The intelligence system of No. 56 is the eyes and ears of the Chapter. Although the subspace storm has dissipated, the Iron Buddha Chapter is still blind and deaf, with no ability to perceive external dynamics - this is very dangerous, because the threat is not only It could come from Chaos, it could come from the aliens, it could also come from within the Empire, from Terra's bureaucracy.

"at this point."

Fu Qinghai patted No. 56 on the shoulder:

"We can only do it all over again."

No. 56 nodded and said no more.

"Prepare to leave subspace, countdown..."

The navigator's voice sounded over the battleship's radio.

The feeling of tearing away as the return to reality fades.

Strike cruisers arrive at Mandeville Point.

After returning to the real universe, the Liema cruiser accelerated towards its home world in the galaxy. As the battleship gradually approached the dead world with three satellites, the airport orbit on the Kuitun-1 satellite also came into view.

Fu Qinghai turned to look outside the bridge.

"Huh? What is that?"

There is a lonely spaceship parked in the airport.

Not long after the storm dissipated, there were not many foreign ships visiting the once most prosperous Phaeton Forge World, let alone the more remote Kuitun Recruitment World. However, a spaceship had already appeared on Kuitun Airport, and its appearance was obviously that of A battleship.

As the distance between the two gradually narrows.

Fu Qinghai saw clearly the appearance of the battleship.

"It's an Inquisition cruiser."

Fu Qinghai narrowed his eyes and said firmly.

Not only the appearance, but also the logo composed of the huge pure skull and Roman numerals on the side of the bow, the logo of the Tribunal. The other party came to reveal their identity.

"Where will the judge come from?"

No. 56 also came over and asked.

"That must be the Calixis sector."

Fu Qinghai curled his lips and said:

"Terra must not have reacted yet. Only the Calixis sector closest to us will send people. I just didn't expect them to be so blatant. This is not in line with the Tribunal's usual style. As I expected, They should first send some acolytes to disguise themselves and sneak into the merchant fleet to the Phaeton Forge World to investigate secretly. "

The Tribunal is not a fool. Although they have almost unlimited authority, facing a sector that has just returned to the real universe and the Astartes Chapter in the sector, they should test it out before deciding how to deal with it. , instead of coming to the door with such arrogance like now - if the Iron Buddha Chapter falls, wouldn't it mean death?

"You're already here, let's go over and have a look."

Fu Qinghai stood up and walked off the bridge with a sneer.

During the storm blockade, the entire sector had become completely self-sufficient, and the Iron Buddha Chapter was not so dependent on the equipment and supplies of the Ministry of Military Affairs. He is not that afraid of the Inquisition, and can handle it calmly no matter what the other party's intention is.

"Khan."

Joestar's voice rang out from the neck armor communicator.

"Where are they?"

Fu Qinghai asked straight to the point.

"Still here at the airport."

Qiao Shida obviously knew who Fu Qinghai was asking.

"Okay, No. 56 and I are here."

Fu Qinghai walked towards the passage and said as he walked.

…

Kuitun-1 satellite, airport.

Fu Qinghai strode towards the berth of the Inquisition cruiser, with half of the First Company on the 56th following him. The fifty Iron Buddha Terminators marched with sonorous steps, and the entire airport passage echoed with their heavy footsteps. Voice.

A formation composed of steel giants.

It's a feeling of oppression coming over my face.

The young Inquisitor stood at the entrance to the boarding channel, surrounded by several of his followers. The Inquisitor turned his head and looked at the large group of Space Marines approaching with sonorous steps, his face calm and fearless. Joestar stood beside him.

"Hello, distinguished judge."

Fu Qinghai spoke loudly and actively greeted:

"Welcome to Kuitun Death World."

"Hello, Qingshan Khan."

The Inquisitor responded with a reserved nod.

His eyes briefly stayed on Fu Qinghai's face for a moment, and then turned to No. 56 behind Fu Qinghai... Sure enough! The judge's eyes twitched slightly.

The Space Marine's face had an oddly smooth and unnatural texture, like some kind of gray waxy flesh, and a large black dragon pattern on one side of his cheek.

Exactly like the legend!

The judge suddenly became excited.

It's him, it's him, it's him.

Exactly consistent with the descriptions of my parents and grandparents!

The young judge has never seen No. 56 with his own eyes, but his father's generation and his parents' generation have all described the appearance and characteristics of that adult to him in detail.

Um? Why is this?

No. 56 frowned slightly.

I wonder why this guy keeps staring at me?

He couldn't help but activate his psychic mind reading to find out.

According to legend, that adult can see into other people's minds...

The judge thought silently:

Come, my lord, see what I am thinking.

As soon as the idea came to mind, the Inquisitor soon saw that the bald tattooed Space Marine's expression suddenly changed - indeed, he could know what I was thinking! The judge smiled as expected, coughed slightly and said:

"Lord Qingshan, could you please change the place where we can talk?"

Um? What's the meaning?

Fu Qinghai didn't quite understand this judge.

Fu Qinghai looked up at Qiao Shida.

As if asking: What did he do here?

Joestar shrugged and curled his lips.

As if to say: Just waiting here and doing nothing.

The eye contact between the two occurred in a flash of lightning.

"OK, no problem."

Fu Qinghai nodded happily and said:

"Come to my office."

On my territory, can I still make you shake things up?

Fu Qinghai thought to himself as he walked towards the elevator.

…

Yunzhong City Fortress Monastery, Chapter Master's Office.

No. 56 followed in with worries.

The Chapter servants closed the door quietly and retreated.

Only three Space Marines, Fu Qinghai, Qiao Shida and No. 56, Qing Ming, the assistant secretary of the Chapter, the Inquisitor and his entourage were left in the spacious office.

Fu Qinghai waved to the judge to take a seat at will, then walked to the boss's chair behind the desk and sat down. He had just taken out a cigar as thick as an arm, lit it, and held it in his mouth.

Something unexpected happened.

"Wow!"

The Inquisitor and his followers knelt down.

Everyone raised a badge towards No. 56.

The black and gold color badge is engraved with a nine-headed sea serpent in relief.

"Hydra Brotherhood, come to meet us!"

shouted the Inquisitor and his followers in unison.

"No...puff cough cough cough!"

The smoke in Fu Qinghai's mouth got stuck in his throat.

No. 56 stood there with a complex expression.

Without any explanation, through psychic mind-reading, he has seen the inner thoughts of these people. Even so, the judge still had to shout loudly:

"Since you left, the Hydra Brotherhood has always remembered your teachings. We are united and we pass it on from generation to generation. We continue to develop and spread our tentacles in various worlds in the Calixis sector until we penetrate into every corner. "

"A thousand years have passed, and our people have infiltrated into the Tribunal, the Astronomical Tribunal, the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Governor's Mansion, but we have never acted rashly. We have been eagerly looking forward to your return and waiting for you to personally give us instructions. "

The judge shouted loudly with red eyes:

"For humanity, for the Empire, for Hydra!"

I'll be a good boy...

Fu Qinghai was stunned and speechless.

The shadows laid by No. 56 in the Calixis sector not only did not fade away with the passage of time, but after a thousand years of development and growth, they have turned into a huge secret entrenched within the sector. Underground forces, an Illuminati-style deep-seated, behind-the-scenes interest coalition.

Can this still happen?

Fu Qinghai turned to look at No. 56.

No. 56 stood there breathing rapidly.

Judging from his expression, he didn't expect it.

"Hey, I thought you guys..."

Fu Qinghai blew out a smoke ring and smiled.

"I'm sorry, sir, time is tight, and there may not be much time to reminisce about the past. Terra has received the news that the Marquez King Zone has returned to the real universe. I came here before my colleagues this time. In order to inform you of this news, let you be mentally prepared."

The judge interrupted Fu Qinghai.

"Oh, what's the attitude on Terra's side?"

Fu Qinghai put down the cigar in his hand and asked.

"Terra asked the Astartes Chapter closest to the Marx King Sector to send a company to cooperate with the Inquisition of the Calixis Sector to investigate and confirm that the Astartes in the Marx King Sector Whether the human inhabitants and the Space Marines of the Iron Buddha Chapter still exist, and if so, whether they show any signs of Chaos contamination."

The judge said in detail:

"That's what we were ordered to do."

Sent an Astartes Chapter?

Fu Qinghai narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this:

"Which war group did they send here?"

"Octarius Sector, Knights of the Storm Chapter."

The Inquisitor whispered two nouns.

"Storm Rider? Never heard of it."

Fu Qinghai searched in his mind.

This is also very normal. From 31K to 42K, there are almost more than 2,000 named war groups in the history of the Human Empire. It is impossible for him to have an impression of every war group. Perhaps during this millennium the Empire had formed some new Astartes Chapters, and then they happened to be stationed nearby.

"You shouldn't not know, my lord."

The judge reminded meaningfully:

"Storm Knights are your sub-group."

"What? My sub-group?"

Fu Qinghai was shocked when he heard this.

When did the Iron Buddha Chapter have sub-groups? ?
