Warhammer 40k: Terra Collector

Chapter 157 Punishment of the Betrayer

From birth to the present, among the Tau who do not have any psychic talent... they are destined not to be able to give birth to beings similar to [psykers]!

Having psychic talent is not only the greatest gift of this universe, but also the curse of this icy galaxy...

Without the blessing of [Psychers], the naive blueskins rarely come into contact with Chaos Daemons and the Warp.

Although the Tau are aware of the existence of Chaos Daemons, they have never truly understood the existence of warp entities.

The blue-skins naively thought that the so-called [subspace demons] were just a group of relatively powerful flesh-and-blood beings.

But in fact, creatures like "demons" cannot be measured by the rules of the physical universe at all.

These twisted monsters were born from the idealistic [Sea of ​​Souls]. Chaos demons only recognize damage caused by swords, flames and large-area fragments.

The melt rays, chain swords and even bolters used by the empire are all included in the scope of these three.

But the metal projectiles fired by the [Electromagnetic Gun] obviously do not belong to any of these three categories.

The metal projectiles packed with terrifying kinetic energy hit the red scales of the [Bloodthirsty Demon] fiercely!

After the smoke and dust caused by the impact dispersed, such a terrifying blow only left an undetectable white mark on the demon's scales.

Without having enough information, the first batch of Fire Caste warriors who invaded the [Sky Hall] suffered huge casualties.

This is simply a one-sided massacre! !

The weapons in the hands of the Fire Caste warriors were unable to cause any harm to the demon, but the demon's claws and psychic spells... could easily penetrate the thick power armor.

It wasn't until a Fire Caste warrior, blinded by fear, activated the laser dagger on his wrist in the chaos that the one-sided massacre got a little better...

But only a little! !

Most of the training that Fire Clan warriors receive is about long-range weapons such as [railguns]! The short laser dagger is not the weapon used by this group of blueskins.

After spending about half a Terra month, this group of blueskins finally managed to eliminate the Chaos Demons in the [Sky Hall].

Fortunately, even if the blueskins cut off the energy supply inside the [Sky Hall], they accidentally closed the [Subspace Rift]...

Otherwise, the proud home world of the [Tau Empire] may have become a paradise for Chaos Demons.

As early as half an hour after the [Sky Hall] was attacked, the Titanium Lord and the Ethers received all the relevant information.

After the chaos demons in the hall were completely eliminated, the leaders of the Tau Empire also came to this magnificent building that had been reduced to ruins.

The bloody blue-skinned corpse inside [Sky Hall] has been disposed of.

But when the Tau Lord and the Ethers stepped into it, the pungent smell of blood still made the leaders of the Tau Empire frown.

"Is anyone surviving?" Mr. Titanium turned his attention to the followers around him.

"What a pity, great king!" The attendant standing beside Lord Titanium bowed slightly, "The scientists and nobles in the [Sky Hall] have all practiced the [Greater Good] with their own lives."

"What about the research results of the Tu clan scientists?" A subtle light flashed in Mr. Titanium's blue pupils, "Those monsters probably didn't damage the database of [Sky Hall], right?"

After receiving the affirmative reply from the attendant, Mr. Titanium immediately led a mighty team to the building called [Database].

With the assistance of [Hateful Intelligence], Mr. Titanium quickly retrieved the data left by the Tu clan scientists in that experiment.

A series of nerve-wracking data jumped on the central screen!

The most eye-catching one is undoubtedly a slightly blurry image!

The background of the image is a colorful starry sky, and under the starry sky full of chaos and madness... stands a gray figure exuding a peaceful aura.

Mr. Titanium does not know the true identity of this figure!

But judging from the peaceful and peaceful atmosphere, this gray figure is undoubtedly a subspace entity born from the "Greater Good".

This blurry image inspired all the blueskins present.

The Tau Lord turned his attention to the accompanying Earth clan scientists, and then asked the question that was crucial to the entire [Tau Empire].

“There’s no way I can get in touch with Him?”

"Unfortunately, no!" The obese Tu clan scientist sighed helplessly, "If we can have technology similar to that of the Human Empire, there may be a certain possibility of contacting Him!"

The answer given by the Tu clan scientist made [Ti Jun] fall into a long silence.

The [Dark Angel] fleet led by Ryan not only defeated the blue-skinned fleet, but also completely shattered the arrogance of the [Tau Empire].

In the past half a month of Terra, Tau Lord has been studying the powerful races in this dark galaxy with his team of consultants.

The ancientness and vastness of the [Human Empire] are enough to suffocate the blueskins.

In addition to humans, there are countless malicious races in this crazy galaxy.

[Orks], [Eldar], [Necrons], and even the [Tyranid] who are eyeing this galaxy!

Any of these parties can easily wipe out the rising [Tau Empire].

In other words, the [Tau Empire] that the blues are proud of... is extremely small in this crazy galaxy.

If nothing unexpected happens, the subspace entity born from the [Greater Good] should be able to provide a certain amount of protection for the Tau Empire!

Some information about the subspace remains in the betrayed imperial world.

Through these incomplete information, the Tau King was able to roughly understand the [Sea of ​​Souls] filled with chaos and madness!

[Chaos Gods] are god entities condensed from the emotions of creatures.

[Prince of Pleasure] Slaanesh represents love and desire.

[Father] Nurgle represents the revival and destruction of life.

[Lord of Change] Tzeentch represents conspiracy and hope, while [Lord of Brass] Khorne represents war and killing...

The [Chaos Gods] born from twisted emotions are full of malice towards intelligent life!

But the emotions condensed by the [Greater Good] are the peace and unity that the blues think they are.

If the Tau Empire can get in touch with the Greater Good, then there is a high probability that it will get the help of the gods like the Eldar and the Pantheon did in the past.

It can be imagined that with the help of the Greater Good, the Tau Empire will rise at a terrifying speed! It will surpass other races in one fell swoop and become a powerful overlord in the galaxy.

Unfortunately, there are not so many ifs in this world!

It is an indisputable fact that the Tau Empire does not have enough power to contact the Greater Good.

This ruthless reality makes the Titanium King a little frustrated, while the several Ethers following behind the Titanium King are relieved without a trace.

Although the idea of ​​the Greater Good is a product fabricated by the group of Randan Aliens disguised as blue skin who want to rule the galaxy.

But in essence, the core of the Greater Good is indeed peace and unity.

Without being distorted by the Sea of ​​Souls, the Greater Good will most likely provide some help to the Tau Empire.

The blasphemous [Randan Aliens] would never be able to disguise themselves under the gaze of God.

The birth and growth of the [Tau Empire] cost the Randan Aliens countless efforts!

This group of blasphemous aliens will never allow their rights and plans to have any mistakes or omissions that lead to failure! ! !

...

It has been nearly half a Terran year since the war between the [Dark Angel] fleet and the Blue Fleet.

For this crazy galaxy, half a year is just a blink of an eye! But for the severely damaged [Tau Empire], half a year is enough for a lot of things to happen.

After that tragic defeat with almost no resistance, the [Tau] have fully realized the power of the Empire.

With the current strength of the [Tau Empire], there is no benefit in being an enemy of the Empire.

In order to minimize the malice of mankind towards the Tau Empire, the Blues took the initiative to abandon those Empire worlds affected by the [Greater Good].

After losing the protection of the Blues, these fallen Empire worlds returned to the embrace of the Empire.

But as I said before, no betrayal is small enough to be forgiven.

The betrayer who betrays the glory of the throne will be destined to die by the Emperor.

[Lion King] Lion led the huge [Dark Angel] fleet and easily took over the planetary orbits of the Imperial world.

Every corner of these planets has been completely shrouded in despair! !

The fallen mortals knelt on the earth, trying their best to pray for the forgiveness and pardon of the [Lord of Mankind].

But as early as the moment they made up their minds to betray the Empire, the end of destruction was quietly destined in the dark...

The betrayer must be judged! !

This will be an excommunication at the level of [Extermination Order]! !

In most cases, the weapons used by [Astartes] or [Inquisition] to execute the Extermination Order are generally extermination weapons such as [Storm Torpedoes] or [Atmospheric Incineration Torpedoes].

This weapon can easily turn everything on the planet into scorched earth. Even the world occupied by Chaos Demons...can only be reduced to ashes in the terrifying high temperature and flames.

This type of [Extinction Order] weapon is extremely efficient, but its shortcomings are also obvious.

While completely burning the Empire's land to ashes, the terrifying flames will also destroy the buildings and resources on the planet at the same time.

For those Empire worlds that have been polluted by Chaos and are hopeless, [Atmospheric Incineration Torpedo] is their last salvation.

But these [Imperial Worlds] infected by alien beliefs do not need to be completely burned by flames and shock waves...

For the Empire, the infrastructure and various materials on these planets are still a valuable asset.

For this reason, Ryan chose the most suitable [Extinction Order] for these betrayers - [Virus Bomb]! !

Although this weapon is called a "bomb", in fact... its essence is a petri dish carrying a virulent virus!

In terms of destructive power and infectivity, these virulent viruses that have undergone [Biological Sage] transformation are even comparable to the Nurgle Plague!

Even the Astartes, known as the [Angel of Death], can only escape the virus infection by relying on the internal circulation system installed in the power armor.

Once the virus is truly infected, even the powerful Astartes... cannot escape the fate of embracing death in pain.

The great Lion King has signed the [Extinction Agreement]! !

Following the will of [Lion King] Ryan, the huge [Dark Angel] fleet followed the established trajectory and brought down the Emperor's judgment on the thirteen imperial worlds that had betrayed the glory of the throne.

The Dark Angel warship suspended above the planet's orbit dropped a [Virus Bomb] painted in a striking red color on the surface of the planet!

The strip of culture dishes hundreds of meters long slid out of the bomb bay and then fell directly to the surface of the planet in a free fall!

The violent impact destroyed the stabilizing device in the culture dish.

After losing the balance of the [stabilizing device], the [Flesh-eating Virus] that was originally dormant soon became active.

Microorganisms in the soil, leaves slowly falling in the sky, hibernating creatures, and even living humans...

All organic matter has become a resource for the [Flesh-eating Virus] to grow itself.

In just a few Terra days, the green smoke carrying the virus has covered most areas of the planet!

Even the mortal archons hiding in the fortress and wearing the highest level of protective clothing could not escape the pervasive erosion of the virus.

A few days later, all life on the surface of the planet had been eroded by the virus... and transformed into organic matter as sticky as mud.

The flammable gas emitted when organic matter decayed filled the planet's atmosphere. When a tiny spark fell from the orbit... the originally vibrant world was instantly burned into a flaming purgatory.

The fire storm caused by the strong wind swept away all the viruses on the planet.

In the blazing flames, the great emperor forgave the sins of the betrayers.

The imperial world occupied by the blue skin has returned to the embrace of the empire!

But as mentioned before, Ryan's original purpose... was to completely solve the hidden dangers of this alien race, and by the way, destroy the [Randan Alien] hidden in the blue skin!

The [Dark Angel] fleet was not in a hurry to join the [Glorious Expedition].

Ryan led his descendants to station at the [Navy Starport] here. While taking a short break, the [Lion King] was also closely following all the movements within the Tau Empire.

The thread of fate has been quietly moved by the [Imperial Regent] and the [Lord of Change].

Faced with the terrifying threat from the [Empire], the rulers of the [Tau Empire] were forced to abandon most of the blue-skinned colonies.

The blue-skinned fleet wandering around the [Damocles Gulf] area has been urgently recalled to the home world under the will of the [Tau King].
