Warhammer: The Beginning is the Crisis of Annihilation Chapter :
Chapter 396 Conquering Universe 04 (Subscribe)
Many people are moving around Guilliman, carrying out his will and executing his orders.
Make sure the empire runs according to his will.
Countless armies and heroes are fighting war outside.
Using courage and sacrifice to forge the immortal glory of the empire, seeking the way for mankind to move towards the future and the heavens.
In a sense, the various departments on the Emperor Supreme are also facing a war.
Bureaucrats fight with paperwork and data.
From a few words of the report, get the data about the front line, and assess whether they need the soldiers and supplies in the report.
Empire resources are precious.
But the grand plans and great achievements of the Holy Emperor are so huge.
Cannot be wasted at will.
It is necessary to ensure that resources are used on the tip of the knife.
Men and women in various uniforms shuttled back and forth in several huge strategic halls.
Hovering servo skulls and information windows follow them.
They are the lubricant of this huge empire, their heart, and guarantee the operation of the empire.
Without them, the Holy Emperor would not be able to effectively control the empire.
Kaul weaves his way through the clerical staff.
He did not come alone.
Instead, take a team.
Walking in the forefront, the mechanical priest wearing a red robe held a flag and sprinkled holy oil on the road ahead.
Sages of various professions surrounded Kaul, forming a well-organized team with distinct classes.
The servants who serve them exude the aroma of oily smoke and the frequency rhythm of data transmission, and the speeding canned angels chirp and say binary blessings.
The imperial bureaucrats along the way paid homage to the chief sage.
Kaul's reputation is extremely high.
It took him thousands of years to bring the Holy Emperor back from his coma.
If it weren't for him, I'm afraid that human beings would have quickly perished after Abaddon destroyed Cadia.
His merits are enough to allow him to enter the historical books of the empire and leave a strong mark.
At present, he is also the most important helper of the Holy Emperor.
Kaur turned a blind eye to the multitude of saluting clerks and bureaucrats.
With his status and status, he no longer needs to participate in those human contacts and political struggles that waste energy.
He led the team straight through the inner corridor with no outer windows.
Walk through the beautifully carpeted corridors that house large machinery.
Priceless golden sculptures are embedded in shrines filled with coils of cable.
Murals depicting the Eight Heroic Primarchs and the Holy Emperor, as well as numerous heroes of the Empire, were carved into those polished metal surfaces.
Some mechanical personnel are busy back and forth, maintaining and repairing the operation of those machines.
Kauer and others arrived at the huge vaulted vestibule.
Sicarius and Marshal Valano were there.
Above their heads, crystal chandeliers shone brightly.
Beneath their feet, carpets were intricately woven and intricately designed.
"Master Chief Sage." Sicarius walked to Kaul's side.
"Where's Your Majesty?" Kaul asked.
"I am dealing with some urgent government affairs in his study, please follow me."
Valano wears a tall conical helmet that hides his face.
Through the eyepiece of his helmet, Valanor silently watched the sage's team.
Only nodded to Kaul when he passed by.
The status of the Marshal of the Imperial Guards who governs the Order of the Imperial Guards is no less than that of the chief sage.
For this, there is no need to salute like others.
Valanor is always vigilant about everything.
His helm scans the sages.
Several sages are marked by red outlines, showing that they are extremely dangerous.
Data labels flash a small amount of data about them.
Caull's ranks of sages include powerful figures from the many major orders of the Mechanicum.
They have all carried out crazy mechanical transformation and genetic upgrades on themselves.
The strength of a sage is not only manifested in his knowledge, but also in his force.
Many sages will embed world-killing weapons into their bodies.
Valano assessed the threat from these people.
Calculate how long it will take to kill them all.
The duty of the Imperial Guard is this.
The Wanfu Group must eliminate all threats to the Holy Emperor.
Power struggles are everywhere.
The achievements of the empire have inspired countless people.
But the greed and selfishness of those bad embryos can never be satisfied, and they don't care what the empire has achieved, but put their short-sighted eyes on their own interests.
Killing the Holy Emperor and messing up the situation will give them more.
There are also some people who are in high positions but forget their original intentions.
They were enslaved by desire and power, and secretly engaged in various illegal acts that were not allowed by the laws of the empire.
Eager to restore the old system, pass on their despicable genes forever, and poison the human empire.
The existence of the Holy Emperor is destined to make their ideas impossible to realize.
Only by killing the Holy Emperor can we mobilize enough power to abolish the current system and restore them to their former noble status.
Kauer's entourage was waiting in place.
The chief sage himself followed Sicarius to Guilliman's private study.
The huge gilded gate slowly opened.
Cauer walked in with a pious form.
It was a room with a high dome, cold, without any warmth or luxury at all.
Light came from the lumen lamp on the roof, illuminating the huge study room.
"Your Majesty." Kaul saluted Guilliman behind the desk.
"Go out first, Sicarius." Guilliman said softly.
The door closed after Sicarius walked out.
Isolate the noisy sound outside.
Silence enveloped the room.
Only the slight hum of the data device echoes in the room.
"How is the research work going?" Guilliman put down the data crystal in his hand, rubbed his forehead, and relieved the fatigue caused by work.
"Everything is on the right track. Several sages who have explored outside have brought us a lot of new ideas and technical directions. Sage Sigma has entered a world that can use emotional power to incarnate giants. She is trying to analyze those powers. The principle of operation, if it can be used, this technology will be available to us soon."
"Your brothers, Master Primarchs Ferrus and Vulkan have also made outstanding achievements. The small universe miniaturization project proposed by Lord Ferrus has achieved a theoretical breakthrough. The only thing that is lacking is how to transform this theory into Practical technology. Master Vulcan has obtained a new application in weapons. The regular products collected in the interstellar tunnels have given him new inspiration. He plans to manufacture a batch of weapons that can distort the rules. If successful, the Transspace Expeditionary Force can use this batch of weapons to gain a greater advantage."
"For the background analysis of universe 04 and universe 05, preliminary results have been obtained. One is the ruined universe left by the extraordinary civilization, and the other may be a data-based experimental universe created by other civilizations."
Guilliman listened to Kaul's report.
The sages are currently working hard to update the technology needed for the cross-universe expeditionary force to the economy and politics of the empire.
Research and develop special restraint technology for various enemies encountered by the imperial expeditionary force.
Guilliman integrated this information, thinking about which technologies required more resources to ensure that they could gain greater advantages for the Empire in the coming war.
The empire needs to rule a universe, so he can get the database of the fifth stage.
The best choice is naturally the local universe.
But the threat of the four gods made Guilliman feel a little worried.
He defeated the opponent's minions and the traitors who defected to the opponent.
But these are nothing more than game pieces out of control for the Chaos Gods, far from threatening their own foundation.
Guilliman is worried that when the time comes, he will invest too much in the local universe, but the four gods will take advantage of the loopholes and repeat the great rebellion, which will be a lot of fun.
For this reason, after careful consideration, he decided to center the task of conquering a universe on universe 04.
That is the ruined universe left behind after the collapse of an extraordinary civilization.
Compared with other universes, it is less difficult.
Universe 01 is a purely corrupt universe, and the empire has to conquer and cleanse those worlds before they can colonize them.
Universe No. 02 currently appears and confronts the empire only superheroes in captivity and members of the Pantheon bred by civilizational beliefs.
The real behind-the-scenes mastermind, that is, the so-called first cause-the minion of the Supreme God has not yet appeared.
If you want to conquer that universe, you have to face an omniscient being of the same level as Yogsothoth.
From the data read from the background of the universe and the mouths of some captured observers, it can be known that the Supreme God is the ultimate existence of universe 02 and the creator of that multiverse.
Behind the No. 03 universe is the creator of the reincarnation game, and it is also a terrifying existence that keeps countless players in captivity. If the empire wants to rule that universe, it must fight against the opponent.
These three universes Guilliman does not want to give up rescue and conquest, but to prioritize.
The current main task is to obtain the database of the fifth stage, so that humans can obtain stronger technology.
It is a good thing to put energy and resources in the abandoned Universe 04.
The civilizations in universe 04 are all extraordinary civilizations built with subspace technology as the leading factor, and they have collapsed at present.
The cause of the crash is currently unknown.
In most of the worlds detected, the technological level is only the level of the agricultural feudal era.
The local aborigines have preserved certain ancient skills and mastered spiritual power through practice.
They call it practice.
The more important point is that the scale of universe 04 is not as large as other universes.
It may be that some war broke out in those civilizations at their peak, which caused the scale of the universe to shrink.
According to the calculations of Mechanicum, it may only have a diameter of more than 300 trillion light years.
The empire can quickly control universe 04 and meet the mission requirements of the fifth stage.
It can also stay away from the Four Gods and leave a follow-up base for human beings, which can be said to be the best solution at present.
Waiting until Kaul finished speaking, Guilliman opened his mouth to reveal his purpose.
"The reason I summoned you is that I hope to establish a scientific research project for universe 04. The empire's conquest focus will be on this universe."
"With all due respect, universe 04 is not a universe worth choosing. It is a ruined universe left over from an extraordinary civilization. Although its strength is the worst, its resources are also the worst."
