Chapter 243 The Mechanical Body of the Primarch

That's right, what Gao Yi was going to do was exactly what he had thought of before, which was to reshape a body made of wraith bones and Purifier technology for another Primarch, Ferrus Manus, the genetic father of the Tenth Legion Iron Hands Chapter, who was beheaded by Fulgrim.

With the help of the power of Gao Yi's limited edition Soul Forge, his soul is attached to this mechanical body.

Reports from the think tanks and psykers of various chapters on Cadia let Gao Yi know that several Demon Primarchs had also set their sights on Cadia, and might even be waiting for him and his men to arrive.

Compared to Cardia, the other party must want to kill me more.

Based on the texts and written data he learned before the time travel, it was difficult for Gao Yi to judge how strong the combat power of these demon primarchs was.

This thing's combat effectiveness fluctuates.

Although he has a restraining effect on these Primarchs who have completely ascended to demons, he cannot withstand the fact that there will definitely be more than one of them.

The opponent not only has a demon body, but can also use physical weapons from the real universe.

He also has a Primarch here, but Guilliman's ability in one-on-one combat is emmmm. Gao Yi hopes that he can barely hold back one.

The fighting power displayed by Artanis now is enough to kill the Great Demon, but Gao Yi is not at ease without actual combat against the demon primarch. Kerrigan's fighting power in this world is not strong. She has not inherited the memory of her previous life and is more like a commander here.

Gao Yi must make up for his lack of high-end combat power.

The Iron Hands have a close relationship with the Adeptus Mechanicus, for they share the same belief in the Ascension of Flesh, Weakness and Machines as the priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus.

Gao Yi didn't know what the Iron Hands would think if they saw their Primarch resurrected in this way. This really reached the level of mechanical ascension in their minds, ensuring that it was 100% made of machines, without even a trace of flesh and blood.

Ferrus' severed head and a small part of his body were still regarded as holy relics by the Iron Hand. Gao Yi couldn't help feeling uncomfortable when he thought about Ferrus looking at his former head.

"May the Iron Hands still recognize their Primarch"

"Go ahead Karax, start the Star Furnace!"

Karax began to use the Starfurnace Fire to shape the melted spirit bones.

The liquefied spirit bones slowly began to take on a human shape, while Cawl helped Karax optimize the mechanical body.

The Purifiers' technology was originally intended to serve the Protoss and was based on the Protoss' biological habits. Although both are considered humanoid creatures, there are still huge differences in the way they act.

Karax was not good at shaping a body that could move freely and fit human activities.

Kaul provided Karax with advice and references to make it more in line with human behavior.

Even though the Protoss don't have a mouth, Ferrus must be given one.

Caul's powerful computing ability made the shaping of Karax exceptionally precise, and the equipment used to operate and manufacture the Purifier also made Caul curious.

And resurrecting another Primarch in this way also made Cawl feel a long-lost excitement.

Gao Yi also continued to inject psychic energy into the Star Furnace. Since he wanted to create a body for the Iron Hands Primarch Ferrus who had died in battle, he certainly couldn't just make do with what he had.

Spirit bone is a special material made by the Bone-singers, a special profession among the Eldar. It is harder than most steels and more durable than adamantium. In essence, it is a solidified subspace energy.

It can be manipulated and forged into almost any shape, and has extremely high ductility and plasticity, which makes it more suitable for making bodies for these purifiers than ceramsite steel or adamantium.

And its non-metallic property, which is actually subspace energy, also allows Karax to further compress the spiritual bones with the assistance of Gao Yi.

Ordinary spiritual bones cannot meet Gao Yi's needs, so he will further strengthen them.

Gao Yi ordered the temperature of the star furnace to be continuously increased so that the melted spirit bones could be continuously tempered.

Under normal circumstances, the spirit bones of one or two Nether Guards are enough to create a Purifier, but the 3-meter-tall body provided to Ferrus has consumed the spirit bones of nearly a hundred Nether Guards.

And this number is still rising.

One hundred, two hundred, three hundred.

"Lord Gao Yi, 350 bodies, this is the compression limit that the Star Furnace can achieve!" Kairax reminded him that he could no longer inject more melted liquefied spiritual bones into it.

Gao Yi also found that he had reached his limit. Even so, the strength of Ferrus's mechanical body had reached an exaggerated level.

Through the Star Furnace, everyone could feel the spiritual energy constantly released from this body.

It even vaguely formed a psychic shield around it on its own.

Kaul began testing its sturdiness.

The final result is that it has extremely high resistance to both physical and energy weapons. Its physical strength is twice that of refined gold, and its resistance to energy weapons is even more exaggerated. It can even repair itself in places with a strong subspace.

The denser the subspace energy, the faster it repairs!

If various weapons and equipment need to be added later, they can also be melted and modified due to the plasticity of the spiritual bones.

In all aspects, this attempt was very successful, but after all, it was a product based on Purifier technology, and the machine ultimately needed energy to power it.

The external structure can be modified, but the internal energy supply system still needs to rely on the energy provided by the sun core in the Spear of Adun like other ordinary purifiers.

Until the Purifier Program is broken through or innovated, this body will not be able to fight away from the Spear of Adun for long.

But having something is better than having nothing, and Gao Yi believes that this will definitely not be a problem in the future.

"Kairax, Kaul, you guys go and make the final optimization! I'm going to prepare to bring back the soul that belongs to Ferrus."

Gao Yi also connected to his own subspace projection again.

When the emperor sensed Gao Yi's arrival, he also felt Gao Yi's changes.

The Emperor, who was also regarded as the Messiah of Om by some mechanical priests, also sensed the extra authority belonging to Vashtor in Gao Yi's body.

Listening to Gao Yi's story of how he had devoured Vashtor's authority, even the Emperor found it absurd...

Can the power of faith be plundered in this way?

This is simply the Great Devourer of the Warp...

However, when the Emperor heard Gao Yi talk about wanting to resurrect Ferrus and the method he would use, he did not agree to Gao Yi's request directly as expected.

Attaching the soul to the spirit bone using the Soul Forge...either method is not what the Emperor wants to see.

Transforming Ferrus into the form of the Cursed Legion was a last resort, as it was the only way to protect his soul from being completely annihilated.

As a result, they are still being turned into inhuman beings...

He was already resisting psychic power and really didn't want to see his offspring return to the empire in this form.

Otherwise, he would not have almost never sent the cursed Ferrus into the battlefield.

The only time it appeared was during the Cyberway War.

He resisted psionic energy and even wanted to completely destroy the warp, and he didn't want his offspring to exist in this way.

The Emperor also knew what spirit bones were.

He was also worried whether the soul furnace obtained by Gao Yi was really reliable?

In case of an accident, it would be a good thing if Ferrus' soul died. He was afraid that Ferrus would become like those descendants who betrayed humanity.

The Emperor was struggling with the idea that if he could leave the Golden Throne, he would have the ability to resurrect Ferrus.

When Malcador reported Ferrus's death to the Emperor, he said that he could "fix" Ferrus.

Gao Yi's existence gave him hope of leaving the Golden Throne.

He can choose to let Gao Yi resurrect Ferrus in this special form now, or he can wait until he gets up before resurrecting Ferrus
