Warhammer: Rise of the Star Gods

Chapter 191 The Great Influenza

Sigma was in a good mood. Having successfully graduated from Zhang Lingyou School, he felt that he was doing well again.

Of course, this person is really good now.

As a psyker who has lived for thousands of years, Sigma may not be perfect at everything, but he must be omnipotent in everything.

Sigma, who was confidently preparing to join the Great Crusade with new equipment, returned to Terra, and first bumped into Orpeson, who was fighting a fruitless war.

"Why are you back?"

This was the first sentence the two said when they met. After each told the situation, both parties fell silent.

The Warmaster's silence was mixed with envy, because his old friend got a new ship...perhaps it would be better to use one, because it was a large combat planet that was about the same size as Jupiter and had two sets of satellites.

Looking at the Milky Way, at least the Pharaoh's ship of the Necron First Dynasty can compete with the Twin-Tailed Comet. Such a war unit is worth the entire expedition fleet. If this ship were present that day, the Eldar fleet would probably not be able to escape.

Sigma looked up from the battle report, with confusion and confusion: "How did it end up like this? I remember you were in the simulation field. You didn't need to go back in time, and you could defeat a fleet without high-level psykers, right?"

"Don't you think there's a problem? It's true that the Eldar like to bully smaller races, but they are also good at tactics. Why are they just trying to close the distance in this battle?" The Warmaster asked the question without answering.

"Are you frightened because the leader was defeated?"

"It's mobility! Do you think the Eldar have the advantage of mobility? Except for their amazing toughness, they have nothing to show for it."

After this reminder, Sigma woke up.

According to the tactics derived from the simulator, the human fleet will pass through the preset battlefield and use multiple battles to expand the Eldar fleet formation and lure the Eldar in. Once the star gate is deployed, it can take advantage of the fact that it is not restricted by the environment such as the planet, and can lead the main force of the Eldar into the ambush circle, cut off the network gate, and complete the extermination mission with multi-party outflanking.

Unlike the Necrons' tactics of cutting up the battlefield with large amounts of Star God fragments and using planar banishment, this strategy is less likely to cause strong backlash from high-level Eldar psykers and puts less of a burden on Zhang Lingyou.

But this time, except for the initial exchange of fire, the battle quickly became intense and turned into a near-death battle.

"The Eldar didn't use the Webway! They fought to the death to protect something!" Sigma realized why Zhang Lingyou said to him when he took the ship, "Don't attack the Webway."

Seeing the look of realization on his old friend's face, Orr knew that he had figured out the reason.

"I plan to continue to use troops next year, taking the defeated aliens with me to attack the Eldar."

This time is relatively abundant. With the help of the Longtooth Chamber of Commerce, there is no need to worry about logistics. The combatants can prepare themselves mentally and go out to fight through the Star Gate at any time.

"Zhang Lingyou probably has his own things to do. Without the support of the Star God's incarnation, it will be difficult for us to deal with the Spirit Tribe."

"Let the Eldar take care of us when they have time. These gods have group activities to do now, so we won't encounter them." Orr didn't care.

"We do not have an advantage in terms of top-level combat power." Sigma disagreed with the Warmaster's view. He believed that humans should be allowed to adapt for a few more decades and get used to long-term wars before attacking.

"Do you really think this person doesn't have an advantage?" Orr pointed his index finger up with a strange look on his face.

"Isn't it?" Sigma has been studying for a long time and has not had much contact with the outside world. He feels that in terms of quantity, even the Necrons have a large number of Star God fragments to support the nodes. Zhang Lingyou was able to develop because of the current balance of forces.

"That artifact has always been in space, right? Do you think anyone would dare to steal it?"

"Yes, so, what do you think?"

"He still has some strength left, and we can borrow some of it. Don't say this is too much. If a leader wants to handle things below, he must be able to withstand pressure."

"Okay, by the way, I have one more thing here. Let's go to the Pan-Galaxy Alliance and hand it over." Without continuing the conversation, Sigma said he would do the task first.

. . . . .

At the alliance headquarters, Caledo looked at the two humans in front of him with suspicion. The documents on them clearly indicated their ownership.

Because of this, he didn't know whether he should go through trial.

Ask the two of them to wait while he goes to find Val.

"Small World Trial Field, invite geniuses of all races to enter, and you will be responsible for the profits?"

Val's heart trembled. No wonder he vaguely sensed the looming consciousness of a vast world today. It turned out to be a new subsidiary world in the real universe.

"It's over, it's okay. That's just a trial run by that guy. If you don't take the opportunity to have sex for nothing, you'll be charged later, and some of you will cry."

Qatar's voice came from the sea of ​​souls, filled with excitement in a trance.

Someone gave the green light and passed the approval without even looking at it.

The news dropped like a stone in the alliance, and there was no more waves. In the upper echelons of the three empires, a tsunami was set off.

The Small World Proving Ground, as its name suggests, contains materials left behind that can be used as opportunities. It also carries high risks due to high-intensity competition.

For various races whose talents have long been fixed, the most attractive thing is the uncertainty of the rules of the small world. It is possible to use the power of the world within to break through your own limitations and reach new heights.

The small world given by Zhang Lingyou not only contains a large number of rare resources, but also has a regular running-in area. If you are lucky, you can use it to break through your own limits.

Compared with being born, reaching your peak, and then waiting for death and rebirth for thousands of years, this obviously has an irresistible attraction.

Even a soulless Necron is likely to get what he wants.

Therefore, the quota given by Zhang Lingyou was directly monopolized by the Three Kingdoms and the four ethnic groups, and the small ethnic groups could not even drink soup - the document only had admission conditions and no ethnic requirements.

Being qualified to enter the small world is Zhang Lingyou's minimum requirement. Whether it is fair or unfair or whether those who enter can come out are not considered.

No matter how unified the four tribes are in terms of monopoly, they will be fierce in competing for quotas.

The Necrons do not have the technology to maintain a small world with incomplete rules. They can only watch the existing small world improve itself or collapse.

Fragments that can be controlled cannot be maintained, and fragments that can be maintained cannot be maintained.

As for those three, the small world is of little use to them, so they don't care much about it.

What they care about is Zhang Lingyou's other proposal - to unify and recover the lost world.

This matter costs a lot of money, the power that needs to be mobilized must be staggering, and the benefits are needless to say.

The only problem is that the real universe has not yet been repaired, and if you rashly pull other universes back, it is unknown whether the error area will worsen, not to mention the difficulty.

As for Zhang Lingyou's statement that "there is a gap in the real universe and other universes need to help share and reduce the burden", Settra thought deeply and said "yes, yes".

The other two had a "reluctant" look on their faces, and then passed the proposal.

Everything seemed to be okay, Zhang Lingyou went to prepare on his own, while Kuike and others were silently waiting for Zhang Lingyou to implement the plan.

Half a year later, two pieces of news shattered the seemingly peaceful world.

One, the leader of the Slann clan and the high-level secondary god Kroc fell into the state of the living dead due to the backlash of the prophecy.

Half of his soul was extracted from the body by unknown forces during the ritual deduction, and his vitality dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The lizard man immediately found Goka Mauka and asked for help, but was bluntly rejected.

This matter seems very serious, but compared with what I will talk about next, it is not bad. After all, it only harmed one race.

Secondly, a psychic flu called "Astronomical Cataclysm" swept through the subspace.

At first, a strange immune disease suddenly emerged. Once infected, it directly affects the soul and spiritual energy in the patient's body, such as the brain, spine, and heart (yes, some races have brains and hearts growing together).

Due to the severe crystallization symptoms in the damaged area, the initial fatality rate is extremely high. If there were not a few survivors, the pharmacists would almost change the entry to "certain death".

After rapid expansion and iteration, the fatality rate of this disease has been on a downward trend, but once infected, the damage to the spiritual system in the body, especially the organs interacting with the Sea of ​​Souls, is still irreversible.

There is currently no definite treatment for this disease, and it is extremely changeable and adaptable. Its mutation lineage has completed rapid iterations from a few to thousands in just a few weeks, and under a large number of infections, extremely Targeted and lethal.

The medical experts sent by the Spiritual Empire, orcs, and lizardmen to deal with it all had extremely strong spiritual attainments, but without exception, they all fell in front of this disease.

The existing known psychic and physical isolation methods are completely ineffective. The most terrifying thing is that the black stone magic field from the Necrons not only failed to suppress the infection, but actually accelerated the speed and intensity of the infection.

All species that rely on psychic energy for survival are in danger, and the officials have to force people to stay at home and not go out.

The only ones who escaped were those creatures that were completely insulated from subspace, and bionic creations that were purely made of dead things.

The Necron were not affected, but they might as well have been.

The life of living beings was forcibly pressed on the pause button, and the social order fell into a strange calm.

The human expedition was forced to stop, and the psychic races in the colonies were involuntarily purged collectively. The alien servant army was completely wiped out by the intelligent control corps of the Longtooth Chamber of Commerce.

In another area, Qatar and others were persuading Zhang Lingyou to calm down his anger.

"My little friend, Crocker went too far in this matter, but he really didn't mean it. He is just a nerd. Why do you have to argue with a lizard who is stupid at reading?"

Quick persuaded, his consciousness carefully avoiding the white jade outside Zhang Lingyou's residence, and reaching Zhang Lingyou's ears.

"This old guy doesn't read the news in the weekly newspaper and doesn't know that I'm building a new small world. I understand. But I didn't force him to use the defense equipment. Now let the lizard people handle this kind of morality. Who is responsible? , who will bear it?”

After several months of persuasion, although Zhang Lingyou's words were extremely tough and he had no respect for Crocker's title, he was able to have a conversation at least.

Quick knew that his men had committed a taboo, so he had to come to fish for them. Rejecting the lizard people's request was just to let them know that they had made a big mistake and that they still couldn't give up.

He couldn't help but secretly curse Zhang Lingyou's cunning and Crocker's impatience.

The power of the Crimson God is further amplified by the power of Zhang Lingyou's all-attribute star god, and his ill will will in turn enhance his power.

Its counterattack is not only in strength, but also in spirit. It is extremely easy to induce others to do wrong things.

Otherwise, how could Crocker rush into Zhang Lingyou's territory as if he had been drugged? As for the outsider's territory, no matter what the actual internal situation is, it is already very small on the surface by the Star God's standards, so it should be kept as restrained as possible.

However, this also means that once attacked, others cannot say it was an "accident." Even if it is really an accident, it cannot and cannot be considered an accident.

And Crocker's attributes were special. Although Quick knew that something was fishy this time, he couldn't say anything. To put it bluntly, no matter how outsiders try to set up a trap, nothing will happen to Crocker unless he is greedy.

As for taking action, take a look at the fortifications outside the Star God Realm. They are designed for psychic races. The cost of forcing a breakthrough will be too high to bear. It is even more impossible to expect Settra to take action, since the other party has a divine weapon in hand.

With a sigh, Kattar took over.

"But, little friend, Crocker deserves to die, other races are always innocent."

"They don't deserve to die. I'm the only one who deserves to die? If it doesn't touch the jade bottle, nothing will happen to it. There's no need to save the old guy. Let the lizard people show their sincerity and pay for the labor. This That’s the end of it.”

Zhang Lingyou rushed to Qatar and quickly calmed down.

"OK, alright."

Not caring about Zhang Lingyou's rude words, Qatar agreed in one breath.

After the discussion, Quirk went back to deliver the news and immediately announced his retreat, leaving Goka Maoka to deal with the follow-up matters.

Mazdamudi, who rushed to his ancestral land from Sun City, was furious when he heard the news. He rushed to the meeting hall angrily and scolded the elders for having suffered a big loss but still wanted to get beaten with their faces.

Sitting at the top, a black-armored orc with amber vertical pupils raised his hand to suppress the Slann genius.

"When you make a mistake, you have to pay the price. For the sake of the overall situation, you must be patient."

"For the overall situation? This is for the survival of those main gods! This is obviously the bait laid by Katan!"

"That's enough. Just bite when you're baited. Isn't Slan brainless? He doesn't care about worldly things, thinks he's aloof and aloof, and jumps into other people's traps. Who's to blame? If he didn't engage the Second Saint Mao, who would stop Catan? You are not even a minor god?"

The war lord's angry shouts and psychic powers pinned Mazdamudi to the ground, unable to move. It knew that there was something hidden inside that couldn't be explained, but now it had no choice but to suppress it.

"Hammerdi, you are trampling on the dignity of my family."

The orc lord named Hammodi is too lazy to waste any more words. This little guy has already turned a corner and wants to keep Crocker, who is the cornerstone of Slann, but without strength, what guarantee can he use?

Qatar and Quick came forward together and paid the price, only for Zhang Lingyou to take action to prevent the situation from deteriorating.

As one of the Eighteen War Lords, it knows some decisions. The Webway still needs the help of outsiders to correct it, and after the correction, these guys will be more or less damaged, so it is not the time to attack the Star God's territory.

The top brass is waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity for the Star God to make a mistake. Recovering the lost world is one of the opportunities.

After all, not doing anything is good, but the more you do, the more mistakes you make.

They must give in before the C'tan's mistakes pile up to a disadvantage. There is still a long time, so there is no need to rush.
