Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

PS: This chapter is a long-lost chapter, and it is also the last chapter of this volume. What exactly is the next volume? I will post the cover in the book review section, and then I will understand everything.

The orange light rotates and shines on the surrounding steel walls. It flickers across the cold barriers and jumps over the wide kneeling pillars that grow out of the ground. They stand silently all around. , supporting this huge orbital elevator to descend deep underground.

The warning light shone around along with the buzzing sound of the slide rail friction. The gears of the elevator vibrated outside the iron grille window. When its impact made the entire elevator shake, it also sprayed the light of sparks from the gaps in the gears. It splashed out and scattered on the wall, illuminating the mechanical skull logo painted on it.

It had a red ring, with one side made of machinery and the other side made of human bones. The scarlet mechanical eyes flashed under the firelight. Eisenstein looked at the rising sign, and then looked at the The number on the screen above my head changed from minus twenty to minus thirty, and it was still scrolling rapidly.

He lowered his eyes to look at the uncomfortable servitor in front of him. He had various tubes inserted into his body and looked like a corpse being lifted up with silk threads.

The servitor stood there, expressionless in front of the elevator door. Surrounding him were either Astartes or Primarchs, and there were even two people who could only be called gods and demigods. But the servitor was surprisingly calm, unlike the panicked and excited Martian residents above.

The arrival of the Sky Blade brought a huge shock to them. At first, they were afraid. The streets echoed with panic remarks about the coming of Judgment Day and the coming of the end. But when they arrived on the ground, after Guilliman and Vito arrived, the streets were filled with panic. It has become a carnival of blessings from Om Messiah again.

Ordinary workers who had not joined the Mechanicus gathered in various streets to cheer them. It was not a long street. Eisenstein remembered that it took them half an hour to walk across it. Even the electric batons of the Skitarii could not disperse those first-class workers. A fanatical worker who saw the gods for the first time.

The adherents of the Mechanicus devoted themselves wholeheartedly to their obsession with the Sky Blade suspended in the sky. They were not allowed to land, although those guys used an almost crazy method to request Vito on multiple occasions. I tried, but he rejected them all.

At one point, Eisenstein looked at those guys with data rolling in their eyes and thought they would be crazy enough to board the ship with arms. But fortunately, in the end, this madness did not happen. They came here, in this place that is calmer than everyone else. The servitor led us down here.

Just as Eisenstein was thinking about it, the orbital elevator stopped with a whistle, and all the surrounding lights flashed and rolled and ticked. He and the brothers beside him raised their heads and looked at the car that was slowly moving in front of them. The elevator gate slowly lifts.

The mechanical eyes on the servitor's face flickered, and then he led the way out with stiff steps. Behind him, burly giants followed him. From the elevator door, his hands and feet were cut off and installed somewhere. The servitor on the surface of the instrument walked past.

They stepped into the deep underground behind the door. It looked like it had once been an underground salt mine. Tall and straight rock walls stood around. The surface was fixed by steel brackets. They were deeply embedded in the salt walls and supported them. Above the tall dome, and all around, on the ground, the skitarii stood in a straight row toward the end.

They walked between these soulless skitarii. No matter how many times Loken saw them, he would always feel a little fear or even disgust for these skitarii who had no self-awareness and were all mechanically transformed. He could not imagine what kind of person would voluntarily accept such a transformation.

They'll lobotomize your brain, remove your lungs, replace your blood vessels with pipes, turn your flowing blood into motor oil, and even cover your face with machinery, leaving no evidence of ever being human.

Bell once tried to explain to Loken, but Loken refused. He had a hunch that he didn't want to know the truth. Some things were better not known, and the same is true now.

He followed Vito. As a ten-thousand-year veteran of the same generation as the three adults, he was the closest to them among the people. Loken walked behind them with a chain sword on his shoulder and a helmet in his hand, and walked with them. Passed between the Skitarii.

When passing through the intersection of a mine tunnel, Bell saw a tall shadow inside. It was a steel beast. It stood in the shadow, but a sharp steel claw was exposed. Sparkling in the light.

The eyes in the darkness looked at Bell outside. He stared at the thing and then turned away. This also prevented him from noticing the green flash in the eyes of the mechanical war beast, and a bolt of lightning dancing on its neck. rise.

Bell quickly followed the team. He raised his head and looked at the tall iron gate at the end of the mine in front. Its curved body arched over the towering mine. There were some kind of letters carved on the surrounding door frames. They were arranged together, as if A coiled snake.

Celestine's huge wings were rising and falling in front of her, blocking most of Bell's view, but soon, he no longer needed to spare her or lift up those huge wings. He walked through the gate and came to the back. in the world.

Bell looked around at everything. There was a huge spherical building deep underground. It was buried deep underground. On the surrounding walls, there were rows of cultivation cabins that emitted a faint light. They were embedded in the arc. On the wall, they were arranged upwards until they reached the end where Bell couldn't see even when he raised his head.

And in the distance, in the deep darkness, countless lights flickered on the inwardly contracting spherical walls. The cultivation cabin shimmered in the darkness, and the countless pipes connected to it were as bright as in the darkness. The big snakes are usually meandering around.

At the end of the platform under their feet, on the narrow iron bridge, a tall, rickety figure turned around. His huge body was covered by a red robe, and he turned around holding the scepter of the Great Sage of the Mechanicum in his hand. His eyes sparkled in the surrounding light.

"Lord Guilliman, Lord Vitor, and Lord Konrad, I have to say that my personality array has been calculated hundreds of millions of times, but none of them have calculated your appearance, and it seems that you are an important person. variable."

"Life is unpredictable, and one or two mistakes are always good. They can help us understand our own shortcomings." "Indeed, Lord Vito, have you brought him here?" "In such a hurry? No more calculations?" "No need. Calculation, through the derivation that you are all alive, I can also draw a certain conclusion. "

Vito smiled and gestured to Coz behind him. The latter walked up and took out the artifact from the armor on his waist. As soon as he picked up the thing, the snake-like mechanical hands under Caul's robe started to move. Stretching out, they climbed up from the ground, approached the artifact and carefully picked it up with both hands.

Guilliman looked at the artifact in Caul's hand, and then walked up, "What now? What's the next step? How do we wake him up?" "We still need a body, but I believe Caul is a professional, right?" Certainly, among my many titles, I have the qualification of the Great Sage of Biology, and I also obtained the required information from the Primaris Project and some information from the Primarch Project.”

Kaul turned around, and a cabin immediately rose in front of him. The huge cabin seemed larger than the surrounding ones, and its significance was self-evident. Kaul looked at it and held the artifact in his hands. In mid-air to the side, Sicarius, who was in the team behind him, frowned and looked at the cabin.

"It's empty inside. Where is the body of Lord Sanguinius?" "It's not finished yet. I need a medium, the same genetic gland that can cultivate the body of a demigod." "The glands in the original body project cannot Use it? I called you, Call."

Guilliman frowned and asked, while Caul turned his head. The half-modified mechanical face was expressionless, as if he didn't even notice the question just now, "No, Guilliman, sir, those glands are used for It's appropriate to cultivate space warriors, but if we want to create a primarch, a demigod body, we need it."

Kaul stopped, his eyes moving as he thought about something, "Divine blood, this is a religious word, but I haven't found a more suitable word to describe it in the known language database."

The great sage's voice was weird and unusual, which made Sicarius angry. He took two steps forward and raised his palms, "Then where are we going to find this divine blood?"

"No need to look for it, there's it here." Celestine said, shaking the reagent tube in her hand, which contained scarlet liquid. She walked up, passed between Guilliman and Conrad, and came to Caul In front of him, he handed the thing to him.

"Whose blood?" "Mine, I asked Helen to extract some in advance to avoid being drawn by this eight-clawed squid." She said, letting go of the reagent tube in her hand, and Caul's mechanical eye shot out a beam to scan. He took a moment for blood, then turned around, and the long robotic arm inserted the reagent tube into the culture chamber.

"Are you sure you can do this?" Guilliman asked from behind Celestine. He was much taller than the little angel. He could step over her big wings and directly see the mechanical arm that rotated the reagent tube and locked it.

"After scanning, it's feasible. I need her genes to coordinate the gene tree."

"By the way, why do we need a woman's genes? No offense, please put your sword away."

"The muscle component of the birth body is too large, and the heart will die due to backlog. Or, the body structure will shrink and be unable to breathe and die of suffocation. This is simple biological common sense. Captain Sicarius, you need to supplement your common sense education."

"Wait, doesn't that mean that she is Lord Sanguinius's mother in a sense?"

After Sicarius thought about it, everyone looked at him and then looked back at Caul. The latter glanced at them, then turned around without saying a word and operated on the instruments on the surface of the culture cabin. He stood up, and his countless arms stretched out. They seemed complicated, but they controlled a large number of parameters on them in a coordinated and orderly manner, raising or lowering them, causing a large amount of blood to rise in the culture tubes around the entire culture chamber. of liquid.

They poured it into the culture cabin from the exit, and quickly filled the glass with a layer of amniotic nutrient solution. Everyone looked at the fearful culture cabin that was gradually being prepared, and Kaul took out another one from under his robe. He shook the blood vessel, stretched it out in front of his eyes, scanned it, and inserted it into the culture chamber.

Bell frowned slightly while looking at the blood, while Kaul had already begun to operate quickly. One of his palms reached up and pulled the handle on the surface of the instrument. As the thing fell, the culture cabin quickly reacted. .

The liquid in the two blood tubes was pumped downwards and quickly disappeared into the tubes. Behind the glass cover above, the nutrient solution quickly turned red, and then, a small shadow appeared. Inside.

"How long will this take?" Bell asked, while Kaul glanced at the terminal in front of him without looking back and spoke in the voice of another personality, "Soon, the culture chamber will create an embryo and accelerate his growth, but please Don’t worry, this is not Krieg’s defective rapid-generation technology, Lord Sanguinius will not only live for five years.”

"Are you hiding it again? How about you teach the Kriegs a lesson?" Vito crossed his arms and smiled jokingly. Call raised his head, stretched out his hand close to the glass cover, and pressed on an icon that appeared on it. After a moment, he slid it away, "According to data calculations, the Kriegs' war positioning does not require the existence of immortal individuals. According to calculations, their average survival time on the battlefield is 3 days."

As Kaul said, Bell walked up. As a pharmacist and a technical sergeant proficient in mechanics, Bell, a multi-talented man, curiously came to Kaul and looked at the fetus that was rapidly growing in size in the culture chamber. The form has almost turned into an adult, faster than Bell imagined.

He looked at the body behind the glass cover, and then naturally lowered his head, intending to look at the parameters on the terminal, but he stopped after a few glances, and looked closely at part of it, "Wait, then The male blood is not Lord Sanguinius’s own?”

"No, that's Vito's. I obtained it a long time ago. After my analysis of the blood, I unexpectedly found that its resistance to chaos is very high. It even has a violent repulsion effect against the influence of chaos. So, I think It can be added to the body of the original body to make improvements like Primaris, and maybe it can truly solve the blood thirst and black rage."

"What?!" Call said. Before Bell could say anything, Vito suddenly shouted. He looked at Call with wide eyes, "Damn it. Call! Stop now! You can't use it." My genes!"

"Why?" Bell turned around and asked in surprise, while Vito stared, looking at the rapidly growing individual in the training cabin and cursed angrily, "You will only create a subspace mysophobia, one that wants to kill everyone." Crazy people who react to subspace, stop immediately!”

"I don't understand what you are saying, Vito. I don't have relevant data to prove this." Kaul turned around and said, but before Vito could say anything, there was an explosion behind them. Vito was about to say something. He stopped and immediately looked back towards the door behind him, where a flame was lit.

In the flames, several Skitarii were holding guns and firing while retreating. But suddenly, a huge mechanical body rushed forward. It tore the body of the Skitarii into pieces with its sharp claws, and then used its sharp steel teeth to tear the body of the Skitarii into pieces. He crushed the next one with his big mouth. In the sea of ​​fire, the steel beast turned around and looked into the door.

It raised its mechanical eye, found the training cabin in the system interface, and quickly locked it. The steel beast let out a deafening roar, then rushed out from behind the door and rushed towards the training cabin. And behind it were more crazy skitarii.

"What's going on?" Sicarius pulled out his power sword and shouted. Loken and Eisenstein beside him also pulled out their weapons and opened fire on the Skitarii charging ahead. The blasters whizzed away. On their bodies, the steel objects that were rushing toward them were knocked off the bridge.

Their bodies bloomed in a shower of sparks and continued to fall off the bridge, but the rest still rushed like crazy. They raised their heads like Nurgle zombies and let out terrifying screams from their torn metal faces. roar.

"Damn it, electronic demon, Kaul! I thought you cleaned up this place!" Vito turned around and yelled. Kaul stood in front of the training cabin, looking at them expressionlessly, "I was busy cleaning up all the battles before. Replenish the regiment's Primaris Space Marines and update weapons and equipment across the Empire."

"Now look at the good thing you have done. They are here to prevent Sanguinius from being resurrected. Damn it, stop these mechanical zombies!" Vito said and pulled out the Phoenix Sword. He suddenly lit the sword and he Behind him, Guilliman and Conrad also instantly lit up their swords and claws.

But just before they were about to step forward to fight with the mechanical zombies, behind them, the soul artifact on the terminal platform suddenly opened on its own. It exploded instantly, flew out from one of the lights, and then drilled directly into After removing the glass cover of the culture chamber.

Vito looked at the crazy Skitarii who were charging towards him and raised his sword, but suddenly, a large amount of amniotic fluid was sprinkled behind him, and the viscous liquid sprayed all over him and on the face of the Skitarii. He raised his head, but in an instant, the mechanical head flew out.

Vito raised his head and looked at the figure whizzing by with Guilliman. He flew through the air, a huge shadow shrouded the bridge, and his huge body rushed towards the steel battle between the electronic demons. The beast, the beast raised its head and roared at him again. He flew up and hit the war beast with an uppercut on the chin.

The monster leaned back, and fragments flew from its steel chin. The man in the air suddenly spread his wings thinking about the amniotic fluid. A pair of huge wings spread and soared, and the amniotic fluid poured down from the sky. The same He was also left behind. He stepped on the face of the steel beast, opened the mouth of the steel beast with his left and right hands, and directly tore it open.

The entire head of the steel war beast was torn open. Before falling, the man with wings smashed two of its teeth with one punch. He grabbed the teeth and jumped down. He spread his wings and landed on the bridge. , holding steel saws, slashed through the crazy skitarii as if holding two swords.

Their bodies shattered and fell to the ground. The metal fragments scattered on the ground fell everywhere and kept falling from the bridge. He took a step forward, fluttered his wings and flew from the bridge, and then flapped his wings suddenly. , along with a strong wind, the remaining crazy skitarii fell off the bridge one after another.

Their screams echoed far below the spherical building. After a long time, there was a bang. Vito looked under the bridge, then frowned and looked up at the man who fell on the ground. His wings slowly When it is closed, the amniotic fluid on the back sticks to the back, making it look like it is covered with a layer of smooth reflective clothing.

He stood there, his long golden hair hanging wetly on his shoulders. On this side of the bridge, everyone in front of the Broken Culture Cabin looked at the man. He stood there without saying a word, holding his hands tightly. Two shards of steel, like real swords, dripping with Skitarii fuel.

Guilliman held the sword, and he felt a strong killing intent in the man. He looked at Conrad, and then he also raised the lightning claw in his hand. The two giants looked at Vito's There was a strong formation behind him, and he lowered the Phoenix Sword in his hand and slowly approached him.

"Sanguinius? Gil, is that you?" He said, walking between Eisenstein and Loken who were holding guns. They all looked at the man, and he suddenly raised his steel teeth. , both of them raised their bolt guns alertly.

Vito turned around and motioned for them to put down their guns. Eisenstein looked into his eyes and put down his guns after hesitating for a moment. Loken also put down his guns, followed closely by Sicarius. Vito also waved to Guilliman and the others behind him. Waving their hands, they also lowered their weapons.

"We are not your enemies, we are your friends, brother, put that thing down." Vito said, lowering the tip of his sword. He approached him slowly, cautiously. He always stood there, looking motionless. The tooth sword in hand.

"Jill, are you okay? Do you remember who I am?" Vito said and walked over, then suddenly stopped. The new man suddenly clenched the teeth in his hand, and he turned around slowly Come on, Eisenstein suddenly prepared to raise his blaster, but Vito immediately raised his hand to stop him.

Eisenstein lowered his gun muzzle and looked at the face that turned around with Loken and Sicarius beside him. On that face, the hair stuck by the nutrient solution was stuck to his face. He slowly turned around, looked at Vito in front of him, and then looked up at the people in front of him.

"Can you call me by my name?" Vito put away the sword quietly, keeping eye contact with him. The Phoenix Sword slowly slid into the scabbard, but just as he let go of the scabbard, In an instant, he took a step forward, Loken tightened his grip on the trigger, and Vito raised his hand to signal with his hand loosening the hilt of the sword.

He turned sideways and stared at the face. The man with wet hair walked up to him. He looked down at Vito and was silent for a long time. Then he slowly said, "Vito Constantine, my friend."

He let out a long sigh, and then raised the teeth in his hand to look at it. The reflection on it reflected his face. He looked at the face among them and raised his head, "I seemed to have made a long A very long dream, full of darkness, I remember seeing many faces, but I don’t remember them all.”

He said, looking at Conrad's face. He was stunned for a moment and then raised his finger to point at him, "I remember his face, I have seen him." "Can you call his name?" "Conrad" Radkoz, and he is."

He looked at Guilliman, thought for a moment and then spoke slowly, "Robert Guilliman, I saw his face a long, long time ago. Damn it, when?"

Guilliman smiled. He put away his sword and looked at him with a sincere smile. Conrad on the side also looked at him. Many things flashed in his eyes in an instant, and then he extinguished with a long sigh. Taking out his paws, he slowly stood up and looked at him.

"It's not important. Do you still remember your name? Who are we to you?" Vito slowly stood up and said, looking at his face, and he fell silent, recalling something in his eyes, and then he Seeing Celestine's wings, looking at the snow-white wings, a faint light shone on his eyes, the haze in them gradually dispersed, and the golden pupils flickered.

"I am Sanguinius. I grew up in Baal, and you are my brothers." He said slowly, and Guilliman smiled. He strode up and immediately kept his guard. He reached out to Sanguinius and hugged his head, "Welcome back, brother."

Sanguinius raised his hand, hesitated for a moment and hugged Guilliman's back. After a moment of silence, he looked at Conrad and stretched out a hand as if to invite him again, "Conrad, it's you. Come here, I can’t see your face clearly.”

Conrad walked up and came to Sanguinius's side. His hand, which was still thinking about the amnion, touched Conrad's face. He lifted up the black hair that blocked half of his face, revealing "I remember this scar, these eyes, it's you, me. I'm really sorry for throwing you into the escape pod and then abandoning you in the universe. Forgive me, Conrad."

"Don't say anything, you didn't do anything wrong." Conrad also leaned forward, and the three of them hugged each other's heads. Behind them, Vito also smiled and breathed a sigh of relief. Eisenstein and Loken also put down their guns. The two smiled and patted each other's shoulders. Celestine also walked up and looked at Vito with a smile, and the latter smiled and hugged her shoulders.

"What a touching scene, the Primarchs gathered again, I really want to draw this scene." Bell approached Sicarius from behind and pressed his shoulders. The latter looked at the three hugging Primarchs, and his expression was meaningful and silent for a moment.

"Am I the only one who saw the breasts and... that thing?" Sicarius said, and everyone present was stunned for a moment. Vito hugged Celestine, and turned his head in surprise with the little angel to look in that direction, with exactly the same expression, and there, Guilliman let go of Sanguinius, he and Conrad stepped back and looked at him, no, it was her body that was stunned, and Sanguinius also looked at the two big lumps on his chest.

He and the others turned their heads to look at the incubator in the distance. Everyone on the bridge turned their heads to look at Kaul, who was standing with amniotic fluid all over the floor. The latter stood there and shrugged.

"Based on my calculations, I am sure that she is a standard woman."
