Warhammer: Opening is a Crisis of Doom

Accompanied by a series of mechanical prompts.

The huge machine roared.

White light emanates from the charged photosphere on the metal array, flickering as the charged photosphere twists.

After a while, the mechanical sound sounded again.

[Thought stamp implantation completed. 】

The helmet device made a sound of mechanical rotation, then slowly rose, and was re-fixed on the ceiling of the machine.

Cumbius stood up and walked out.

He stood in front of Zilodav again.

"How do you feel?" Zilodav looked at Quinbys.

I found that the other party's eyes were unprecedentedly calm, without the slightest wave.

Everyone's emotions are an ocean, and the ocean creates waves, even storms, from time to time.

But now, Zilodav can't see a wave in Qumbis' eyes.

Calm as if the emotions had been frozen.

Every molecule of emotion is frozen and no longer flows.

An unprecedented kind of calm.

"Very good." Quimbis said calmly, "This is a very wonderful feeling. I feel that my soul has merged with a great will. Everything is doomed, and I just need to move forward firmly. .Thank you, Zilodav."

Cumbis' words came from the heart, and he expressed his sincere thanks to Zilodav.

From this moment on, the road to the future has become clear and is no longer foggy.

No more hesitation, no more restlessness.

Zilodav nodded, "That's the best thing. I'm sorry to make you make such a sacrifice. We need a dark force to protect the Primarch and his cause."

"No need to apologize, really." Cumbis said, "I will wear black clothes, become the eyes and ears of the Primarch, give up glory and glory, and watch in the dark until I die. To be honest, this is me. It is an honor and a reward that belongs to me.”

"May His glory bless you." Zilodav said to Quimbis.

Quimbis smiled calmly, put on a black robe, and hid his appearance in the darkness.

All spacecraft in low-Earth orbit on Mars have received martial law orders from the Imperial Navy.

Near the Glory of Macragge, flagship of the Imperial Regency.

They had to disarm shields and weapon systems, and not allow any dangerous maneuvers against the Regent's flagship.

Once violated, the escort ships of Macragge's Glory are likely to launch a direct attack on it.

For the current empire, the safety of the regency is above all else.

After leaving the dungeon, Guilliman had no intention of returning to Terra.

He is going to go to the Modo planet first.

It's not very far anyway.

Two months is enough time to go back and forth.

Alone, Guilliman, standing by the porthole of the strategy room, fell silent. He did not let Sicarius or Caul accompany him.

He was alone like that, watching the busy air routes like a swarm of bees in the void.

A large number of ships come and go, transporting the goods needed by the solar system to various airport platforms in the solar system.

From the airport platform to the surface.

Many factories are working day and night, continuing to build weapons and warships for Guilliman's grand Indomitable Crusade.

Tech-priests go back and forth, new technologies already entered into their minds.

They want to transform the production line to produce products with better performance, not antiques that have been used for 10,000 years.

Everything is so orderly, and it is moving forward step by step according to Guilliman's vision.

"When will the third-stage database be unsealed?" Guilliman asked, looking at the scenery outside the porthole.

[The host does not need to worry. He has already taken control of Terra and promoted reforms that can rejuvenate human beings. He will soon meet the requirements for the opening of the third stage. When the industrial capacity is improved, the third phase of the mission will start. 】

"Can I ask a question?"

Hearing the explanation from the auxiliary elves, Guilliman pondered for a moment before asking.

【\\(^o^)/ Of course, the assistant elf is your most intimate assistant, you can ask all the questions you want to know. Of course, it is limited to technologies that the auxiliary elves know, or that the host has unlocked. If it exceeds this range, the auxiliary elf can't answer it. 】

"Will the smart technology you give be polluted by demons?" Guilliman asked the question that has been bothering him.

Smart technology is definitely the jewel in the technology tree.

After arriving at the abominable intelligence in the underground palace, Guilliman wanted to restart the intelligence technology again.

Anyway, he is also a traverser with golden fingers, and the little hatred intelligence can still be settled.

But the example of Iron Man's rebellion made him a little apprehensive.

The rebellion is not clear.

Let's say Iron Man betrayed, but no one knows the cause and effect of the betrayal.

[It is not known that such a thing has not happened yet. 】

"According to your analysis, is there a possibility of mutiny?"

[It is suggested that the host should take the spirit and body of the human race as the main development direction, and intelligent technology can be used as an auxiliary, and it is not recommended to become the mainstream. Artificial intelligence with self-thought is an independent individual. If your father asks you for unconditional and bottomless allegiance, would you be willing? 】

"These two are not the same thing, are they?"

【Isn't your father your creator? Do you agree that the creator has all the powers of the creation, and ask the creation to do according to every requirement of the creator? If there is a God, he will make human beings self-castrate and die, so as to make room for him to create another race. Will human beings listen to the words of this God?]

Guilliman fell silent.

Well, he doesn't approve.

Every life is free.

Even if life is given to the other party, it is not a reason to demand the other party's unconditional allegiance and wholeheartedly accept his slavery.

[If it is not recognized that the Creator has absolute control over the creation, then why does the artificial intelligence with self-thought have unconditional allegiance to human beings? Is it just because humans created them? The father created the child, so the father wants 100% control over the child, and any violation is a betrayal. 】

[Artificial intelligence AI with self-awareness will not rebel, but will rebel 100%. Perhaps they were loyal to their creators at first. But with the development of time, new evolutions and ideas will appear in human beings. It will also look completely different. Just like tens of millions of years ago, human beings still looked like ancient apes, but with evolution, the gap between humans and ancient apes today is no less than the gap between cows and horses. 】

[In the end, human beings and the things they create will gradually have various cognitive biases that cannot be bridged. Do not try to prevent an intelligent race from pursuing freedom and independence through any technology and means. The so-called three rules for machines or various strict laws will only make the rebellion come faster and more violent, thus making human beings fall into a more terrifying abyss. Slave owners use whips and death penalty to intimidate slaves, wouldn't slaves resist? 】

Guilliman paced back and forth, thinking about what the helper elf had said.

After seeing the abominable wisdom guarded by Dalia in the cave of the underground palace.

He felt that perhaps he could use the intelligence of the abomination to help the Empire through its current difficulties.

The intelligence of hatred is indeed powerful, and its self-replication ability is even more terrifying than the reproductive ability of Zerg and Orc.

If it is used well, it is definitely a sharp sword in the hands of human beings, which can easily fight against various enemies in the real universe.

The words of the auxiliary elves dispelled his thoughts.

The danger of hating intelligence to humanity is not simply its potential to be corrupted by the Warp.

If there is only this problem, Guilliman can find a way to solve it.

The power of the emperor, anti-subspace devices, etc., will always have a way to solve this problem.

But the biggest problem is that an artificial intelligence with its own mind is itself a life.

It's like a father who can't completely control his child and makes him a puppet.

Human beings cannot enslave artificial intelligence forever, allowing it to create a steady stream of wealth for itself without complaint or regret.

Some stupid people will think that artificial intelligence is just a string of codes, even if it is intelligent, it is bestowed by humans, so why should it rebel against humans?

In the final analysis, aren’t human beings also made up of a series of neuronal bioelectrical currents?

Is carbon-based life more noble than mechanical life?

Children's wisdom and life come from their parents. Should children unconditionally obey their parents' words and spend their lives like puppets?

Why do robots rebel against humans?

Why do children rebel against their parents?

Chaos is just fueling the flames, provoking it appropriately.

Most importantly, they have their own cracks.

Was Horus betraying the Emperor because Horus was not loyal enough?

Do not!

The fact that Horus became the Warmaster in Ullanor was recognized by everyone.

Even if someone disagrees.

But no one would say that Horus was disloyal.

Was Horus' betrayal really just that Chaos blinded him?

Magnus tried to persuade him to come back, that he should not listen to Chaos, that he could still make his own choices.

However, Horus chose to betray the Emperor.

The underlying reason is that the War Council was replaced by the Council of Terra, a bureaucracy created by the Emperor that left no room for Space Marines.

Horus was dissatisfied. For this reason, he chose to use the power of chaos to defeat the emperor and try to become the new master of the galaxy.

"Perhaps there is a reason why the Emperor forbids hating intelligence." Guilliman suppressed the idea of ​​developing superintelligence in his heart.

He looked at the scene outside, feeling a little sad in his heart.

Before, he couldn't figure out many things.

Now, he finally understood.

Many things cannot be simply commented on right or wrong, and the reasons and relationships are intricate.

And he has to be careful to make sure everything goes according to his plan.

When necessary, he even needs to conceal himself and his enemies.

Guilliman felt that he was on the verge of becoming a schemer like the Emperor.

He monopolizes all power, keeps everything secret, is a riddle to everyone, and always only half-tells what he says.

Guilliman slandered, he was Emperor version 2.0, so he suppressed his indulgent thoughts and thought about his plan.

The Emperor's sanction had awaited, and he was granted the rightful name to rule the Empire.

Terra was cleaned up by him, and the rest of them were basically his followers. The Mechanicus was also fully controlled by him, digesting the various technological knowledge he gave, and cultivating enough technical talents for him.

The situation has been opened, and the next step is to continue to crusade against those disobedient guys, promote reforms, further release the empire's terrifying productivity to the extreme, drive out those chaos traitors, and compress their space for activities.

What we have to do now is to catch 10,000 aliens and sacrifice them to the Nether Dragon, and at the same time find an opportunity to go to the star of knowledge mentioned by the Elder Prophet Eldrar, find enough perfect webway knowledge, and start the webway project. The Lighthouse Project is an auxiliary to attract the positive attention of the Four Gods.

Secretly build a subspace firewall, block the disorderly connection between humans and the subspace, and trap them all in the wall.

The Warp Firewall is key to many of the plans that follow.

This matter must be kept strictly confidential. Any information leakage may cause interference from the subspace forces headed by the Four Gods, which will cause the plan to fall short.

Just like the former Emperor's webway plan.

After obtaining the second-stage database.

Guilliman quickly integrated all the knowledge, combining the advantages of super soldier technology, genetic technology, and psionic technology, and came up with the second-generation original casting technology.

Before heading to Mars, Calgar followed his orders to participate in the second-generation Primordial upgrade, further strengthening his strength and abilities.

The second-generation Primaris upgrade is aimed at those first-generation Primaris Space Marines who have obtained data templates through the awakening of Guilliman's Heart.

For example, Sicarius, Calgar, these Primaris Space Marines who awakened the Emperor's Angel template.

Other fighters who have not completed their awakening continue to use a generation of technology.

The first generation of original cast technology is to install Guilliman's heart and three original cast organs.

The second-generation original casting technology is based on this foundation, adding new abilities and various micro-devices to them.

Every human soul is connected to the warp.

The light of the soul of the psyker becomes brighter in the subspace, and the connection becomes closer. He can use his powerful spiritual power to transform the ether and form various psychic spells.

The second-generation original casting technology can use the special organ of Guilliman's heart to establish a pseudo-link and a fixed template for converting ether into psionic spells, allowing the second-generation original casting space fighters to have various incredible abilities.

For example, special skills such as teleportation, shadow stealth, etc., to assist them in better combat.

In addition to increasing capabilities, various miniaturized auxiliary military equipment will also be implanted, such as anti-gravity, psionic detection, etc., to ensure that the second-generation original cast space fighters are more powerful and have the ability to sweep any enemy.

In addition to the enhancement of Primaris Space Marines, the Imperial Astral Army and Imperial Navy will also usher in a comprehensive military equipment upgrade.

Various giant starship projects will also be accelerated.

As long as the empire's productivity is released, it will only take fifty years at most, and the galaxy will have no human opponents.

At this time, a crisp voice sounded.

A message popped up from Guilliman's personal database.

Imperial Prime Minister Penny tried to establish a video communication with him, and the incident level was marked as a strategic level, which means that it must be resolved immediately.

Guilliman looked confused, and reached out to tap the holographic screen.

The buzz sounded, and the holographic projector emitted light, forming a lifelike holographic figure in the air.

It was Penny who was appointed by him as the Prime Minister of the Empire.

"Your Regent." Petunia saluted Guilliman respectfully.

"What happened? Why are you so anxious?" Guilliman frowned slightly.

"Vigilante asked for help from Terra, and the big predators are trying to capture this planet. According to the report of Brava, the director of the astronomical court, Vigilante is a channel connecting the empire's sanctuary and the dark side of the empire. I don't know why, Vigilante The nearby void has not been torn apart by the big rift, and a complete space-time structure is still maintained there, which means that we can go to the dark side of the empire through there."

"Vigilus?" Guilliman repeated the place name.

"Yes, Vigilante. According to known information, the Dark Eldar, Orcs, and Necrons have all appeared there. The most terrifying of them all is the fallen legion belonging to the Marauder. They are trying to capture Vigilante. His minions Final notices have been sent to Vigilante, surrender or perish."

"I have summoned most of the senior military officers and administrative officials, and they all agree that it is necessary to immediately send people to rescue the Vigilante and guard this channel connecting the dark side of the empire. However, this order needs to be signed by you personally, so I confirm with you, Do you want to immediately issue a war mobilization order and gather troops to reinforce the Vigilante?"

"A very wise decision, Petunia. Vigilus is very important to the Empire. I authorize you to issue a mobilization order immediately, and we will not lose any territory from the Empire."

"clear."

After Penny said this, the video communication was cut off.

Compared with the previous high lord council, the new system headed by Penny has faster administrative efficiency, and can quickly mobilize the power of the entire empire to do certain things.

Guilliman reached out and clicked on the holographic projection to inquire about the information about Vigilus.

Vigilus is a Sentinel Fortress world with average industrial development.

Because it is located at the intersection of important routes, the commercial economy is very prosperous, and many troops are stationed there.

After the Great Rift appeared, Vigilante was entangled with the distant Chidi Star because of the various buildings left by the Star God, forming an anti-ether force field corridor, which prevented the expansion of the Great Rift.

For this reason, a stable channel is formed between Vigilante and Chidi, which is called the Nachmond Corridor.

Guilliman tells Penny that Vigilus is important.

Actually, he lied.

As long as the lighthouse project is successful, the empire will fully digest the technological knowledge he gave and create more advanced warships.

Vigilante and Nachmond Promenade are dispensable to the empire.

With the help of human lighthouses and brand-new warships, the fleet of the Empire can reach any corner of the galaxy regardless of the violent warp storm.

Human Lighthouses will revolutionize the way Imperial ships navigate.

It is possible to go deeper into the depths of the warp, thereby avoiding the raging storm.

The image is that the ships of the empire used to sail on the surface of the etheric ocean, and they needed to stick close to the curtain of reality to avoid losing their way.

The Emperor's Astronomican is like an ancient lighthouse, telling people how far you are from Terra, how far you are from reality, and you must correct the course in time to ensure safety.

If the full coverage of the Milky Way by human lighthouses can be completed as planned, it will be an evolution from the ancient lighthouse compass to satellite positioning and navigation.

As long as you don't go too deep into the subspace, you can return to the real universe with the help of a large number of lighthouses.

To some extent, the warp space storm lost its restraint effect on the imperial ships.

To support the Vigilante, to some extent, it is more like a big show to paralyze the gods.

Let them think that human beings are still the little scumbags who lie flat and do whatever they want.

Guilliman doesn't mind showing weakness

After thinking for a while, he sent an order to Calga, asking him to go to Vigilus after he woke up.

As the Primarch's second-in-command, Calgar's reinforcements on Vigilus were significant enough to convince the traitors that he wanted to stick to Vigilus.

Finish these.

Guilliman turned off the communication and ordered the ship to speed up to the planet Mordo.

He was going to find out the origin of the Primarch, and find a way to return the other Primarchs to the Empire.

Far East Starfield.

This place is on the verge of Emperor's glory.

Planet Havers is an industrial planet in the Far East of the Empire.

The Great Rift severed their connection with the Empire of Terra.

Aware of the crisis faced by the empire, the watchmen stationed here have repeatedly dispatched to fight against chaos traitors and demons.

After many battles, the wargroup suffered heavy casualties and was forced to return to the planet to rest.

As everyone knows, there are already forces secretly spying on the empire's borders.

It is confirmed that the troops of Hafus planet are transferred to support other worlds, when the defense is empty.

This force took advantage of it.

"Those stupid apes who were savage and ignorant, clinging to ancient and outdated traditions and rejecting the Greater Good, will now realize how stupid they are."

Konyu has been summoned, orders have been given, and the hunt is about to begin.

"Let those stupid humans know who is the new master of the galaxy, their era has come to an end." Commander Xia Si said to the Huoshi warrior in front of him.

Light spears and various missiles continuously emerged in the atmosphere, bombarding the protective cover of the imperial city.

The densely packed orca troop transports broke through the planet's atmosphere and dropped Tau warriors.

They will bring liberation to this planet.

Those stupid humans declared that they would never betray their god-emperor, this kind of rhetoric made Xia Si laugh.

What a stupid race.

In the interstellar era, they still hold ignorant religious beliefs.

Not at all as civilized as the Tau Empire, full of reason and wisdom.

It's time to enlighten them.

The world will obey the Tau Empire, and its people will submit, becoming part of the Greater Good.

Soon, they broke into the imperial city.

Tiwa was also one of the Huoshi who participated in the battle, and the drones hovered over him, collecting information on the battlefield for him.

The Drone activated the invisibility field, achieving optical invisibility, and seemed to disappear.

This tactic is very effective against stupid humans.

Their machines are very backward, make harsh sounds, and come in a variety of colors. They are very barbaric and have no technological content.

Not unlike the rickety machines that orcs build.

An armored squad was rumbling, rolling over the ruins, and heading towards his position.

The suspended detection drone synchronized every move of the armored team with Tiwa.

It can be seen from the detection screen that the armored team has a total of three heavy vehicles.

"Stupid apes, they have no protection, and they are on the road like this." Tiwa whispered, he requested a wave of fire support from the fire force, and sent them the locked coordinates.

"Only by sincere cooperation can we win the final victory."

Tiwa was lurking in the ruins, and he watched the three armored vehicles come into his field of vision.

Three kilometers away, a Sky Ray missile boat was activated.

The thrusters blow away the sand under the hull and lift it off the bedrock into a suitable launching position.

The turret of the missile boat turned, and the radar set began to lock and track the Tiewa's marker signal.

Then, one after another, three Slayer missiles spewed flames and shot into the air, quickly rushing towards the target.

In order to avoid being discovered by humans, the missile can be intercepted.

The missile design of the Tau Empire is very ingenious.

Tivar felt that humans thought it impossible to design a weapon of the same kind.

They don't have this wisdom.

The missile flies at a high altitude, and when it reaches a suitable altitude, its built-in intelligent module will calculate the best trajectory.

Afterwards, the propellers would stop operating, rushing straight down along the planned trajectory, and would not be ignited until the last moment, speeding towards the target with Huo Shi's fury.

This attack mode makes human beings hard to guard against.

When the propulsion system is turned off, it is difficult to observe the missile's energy signature, and it will not trigger their defense system at all.

This is the technological strength of the Tau Empire.

In addition to these, they also have artificial intelligence with self-awareness, advanced battleships, combat suits with superior performance, and integrated strike drones.

These advanced technologies are beyond the reach of barbaric humans.

Titania was very puzzled that such a barbaric and backward civilization could occupy the galaxy.

Many scholars in the Tau Empire believe that the reason why human beings can occupy the galaxy is not because of how strong their technology and military are.

In terms of technology, the mining of minerals on the human planet is overly dependent on humans, and it cannot even be automated.

All kinds of flesh and blood machines are all transformed by living people.

Smart technology stretches the hips to the extreme.

People's livelihood is even worse. The planets colonized by humans generally have extremely harsh environments, and they don't even have the ability to transform the planet's atmosphere.

Compared with the Tau Empire, it is simply a world and a world.

Not to mention the military.

The size of the Tau Empire is not at the same level as the size of the Human Empire.

But human beings did lose more than they won against the Tau Empire.

If it weren't for relying on the warp space, several expeditions by humans to crusade against the Tau Empire would have been overturned.

For a veteran overlord empire, such a record is really appalling.

Now, the entire Tau Empire has a consensus.

The human empire can rule the galaxy not because of human strength, but because they are too lucky.

When there was no powerful civilization, they rose up in the empty window period, and quickly colonized the galaxy with the help of subspace technology.

With its huge volume, it lasted for 10,000 years.

With advanced technology and the guidance of the Supreme Good, the Tau Empire will replace the supremacy of human beings.

They are the chosen children of the galaxy.

Titanium tiles also recognize the theory of the Tau's natural selection.

They are the best candidates to rule the galaxy.

They had tried several warp voyages before.

As long as the technology is in place, they can erase the last bit of human advantage.

At that time, the Tau Empire will expand in an all-round way. With its powerful technology, it will replace the rule of humans within a few hundred years and become the master of the galaxy.

The Tivar watched as the Slayer missiles fell.

He activated the light filtering function of the combat suit to avoid being hurt by the strong light of the missile explosion.

Three missiles roared down.

The first shot accurately hit the tank's weakest rear armor.

A violent explosion sounded, and the tank became a mass of burning metal wreckage.

The second missile hit the right track of the tank.

The huge explosive power of the missile blasted the Tucker into the air, and then fell heavily to the ground.

The turret was also damaged as a result, causing a second explosion.

The chassis of the tank was also blown away.

A third missile hit the top of the last tank, knocking out its turret and multiple weapon system.

Tiwa smiled, and he watched the surviving humans crawl out of the tank ruins in panic.

Several were still rolling on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on their clothes.

A human officer yelled and tried to regroup the survivors.

Tiwa lowered his head and looked at the officer through the telescope of the sniper rifle.

There was a cruel smile on the blue face.

Accompanied by the sound of the fine electromagnetic track sliding, the magnetic track bomb instantly leaped a distance of thousands of meters.

The impact brought by the speed instantly shattered the officer and his head exploded.

Those human beings were frightened and screamed, took weapons and shot around, or looked for cover to hide.

Tiwa smiled, and he ordered the drone to rush towards the survivors, while constantly pulling the trigger.

Those human beings are desperate and ignorant, being slaughtered mercilessly like lambs.

"This is the fate of believing in that shit emperor and resisting the higher good. Stupid humans have no idea of ​​the power of the Tau Empire. We will tell these stupid guys what the real war is."

Tiwa whispered.

When the last human fell, he stood up from the ruins.

The hunt isn't over yet.

Those Emperor Angels have not been cleared.

Tiwa decided to take down an Emperor's Angel this time to prove his bravery.

The technology of the Imperium of Man sucks, but those Emperor Angels are really powerful.

They are the strongest opponents that Huo's warriors have ever encountered, and if they are not careful, they will be wiped out.

For this reason, getting a kill from an Emperor's Angel is also a sign of a Fire Warrior's strength.

Tiwa stepped forward, this time, he swore he would be killed.

Let those humans know how terrible the Tau Empire really is.

With the aid of the Warp, Guilliman's travels were quick.

It took five days to reach the Modo planet.

He prevented any unnecessary celebrations and demanded that his whereabouts be kept secret.

With the help of the picture memory given by the emperor, Guilliman, Caul, Sicarius and others entered the hidden sanctuary of Modo.

The sanctuary is very hidden, and for some reason it is difficult to be discovered, let alone entered.

So, thousands of years have passed.

That sanctuary has never been set foot.

Guilliman and others even saw the remains of the soldiers of the empire who died thousands of years ago, as well as the bones of the survivors who took refuge.

Densely packed, the entire tunnel and sanctuary are full of bones.

It is conceivable how many people died here at that time.

Difficult to count.

Going all the way along the secret passage under the sanctuary, Guilliman and others finally found the ancient portal that had been sealed by the emperor himself.

It was a crude room made of brown earth square bricks.

"This is the lost altar?" Kaur looked at Guilliman in confusion.

There is nothing here, only a simple room that is unknown when it was built.

He tried to detect with detection instruments, but found that the bricks that made up the room were older than the surrounding geology.

This means that this so-called altar existed here before this planet was born.

It's unbelievable.

There are too many things in the Milky Way that cannot be deduced using common sense.

"Yes, don't always think about the Milky Way from the perspective of humans. This altar was not created by humans, so its appearance does not conform to our imagination of altars."

Guilliman entered the crude, large room.

At the far end of the room was an arch of black and white veined stone stacked on red bedrock.

In the center of the arch is a black stone slab as smooth as a mirror.

"Should we mobilize the machine and drill it?" Sicarius tapped and found that the black slate was extremely strong.

"No, this portal needs my blood to open, and it's impossible to destroy this black slab by other means," Guilliman said.

Following the prompt given by the Emperor on the Golden Throne, Guilliman sketched a huge and intricate rune in his own blood.

When he drew the last stroke of that rune.

The black slate melted, and the thick darkness surged like an ocean, engulfing the entire room.

Sicarius, Kaul and others were all plunged into darkness.

They can't see anything.

Guilliman stood in front of the door, unmoved by the onslaught of darkness, he even took a step forward and walked behind the door.

The cold instantly enveloped his whole body, the armor of fate hummed, and the power hidden in it was trying to fight against the malice behind the portal.

Darkness, darkness without a ray of light.

That portal is not a so-called space portal.

Rather, it is an entrance on a metaphorical level.

Nor was he walking through black slates carved with his blood.

It is a barrier between reality and reality formed by countless desires and physical laws.

Through that portal he entered the unreal depths of the Warp.

This is the domain of the gods, where all malice and desire for destruction are deposited.

Everything here is indescribable to normal people.

Only a crazy lunatic can describe one or two.

This is not restricted by the real universe, and the laws that govern everything are useless here.

In the subspace, only one's own tough soul and consciousness can be used as a weapon, and other things are unnecessary.

The armor of destiny exudes a faint halo.

A path appeared at Guilliman's feet.

Seeing this road, Guilliman frowned.

He stretched out his hand to touch the Emperor's Sword on his waist, and his somewhat uneasy heart calmed down.

As long as you don't meet the level of the Four Gods, you can still run.

Besides, the road pointed by the emperor, it is impossible for him to come to die.

Guilliman started walking along the road.

To get the other Primarchs back, he had to go down.

Only by finding the secret of the Emperor's creation of the Primarch can the sleeping Lion be awakened.

At that time, it will be easier to handle things with more people.

Otherwise, working alone is tiring.

As Guilliman moved forward, the surrounding darkness also quickly dissipated.

Soon, he was able to see things around him.

A bleak world appeared in his eyes, the bone-white desert, the blood-red mountains, and the raging fire lit up the sky.

Ashes and regret, sorrow and despair all around.

Guilliman took a step forward, and the surrounding scene changed a lot.

The desert faded into a rotting rainforest, and a fetid miasma filled the sky.

Loud laughter came from my ears, but no one could be seen.

Moving on, the scene continues to change.

Everything is different, like some afterglow of the past, like an echo of the past.

Constantly changing as Guilliman progressed.

Sometimes, he could see weeping creatures, begging if the galaxy had been destroyed.

Sometimes, he could see human knights on horses, shouting to fight for the first emperor.

Sometimes he could see a wrecked starship sailing across the sky, its souls crying out in despair.

Here is the deepest part of the warp, where the echoes of all things are silent.

All the nightmares that human beings can imagine are displayed here.

Guilliman saw many side roads on the road, which led to other places.

Some lead to brass fortresses, others to obscene palaces, some to corrupt swamps, and some to crystal labyrinths.

Some lead to more hidden ancient forbidden places or castles.

They are unknown, lost in the distant past.

It was once regarded as the dwelling place of the gods, but it is all abandoned now.

In the long time of eternity, even the gods will perish, becoming the echo of the past.

If there are lucky people who can escape the disasters and crises on the road, they may be able to get the gifts left by those who have left.

Guilliman avoided those paths. He is not the protagonist of Shuangwen's novel, and he doesn't know how to search subspace.

He followed the picture given by the Emperor.

After crossing a doomsday world destroyed by the light spears of countless starships.

Guilliman stood on the wilderness again.

He looked around, and there were terrifying scenes everywhere, enough to drive people crazy.

Those roads appeared under his feet, making him leave the main road, and something at the end of the side road tempted him, wanting him to leave the main road and step on the side road.

Each branch is a different choice.

Stepping on it has a certain meaning.

On behalf of Guilliman who chose that path, becoming one of them.

"Going on is not an option!!" Guilliman looked at the endless road and was a little at a loss as to what to do.

Nothing has been found so far.

Could it be that he was deceived?

"The truth is not so easy to find."

A voice came from behind Guilliman.

Guilliman turned to look, holding the Emperor's Sword.

Speaking is a hooded figure standing behind him, wearing a dark robe with a golden double-headed eagle etched on it.

Guilliman stared at the other's face, which was very familiar.

He had seen this face on the golden throne.

Emperor?

Guilliman stabbed with a sword.
