Plunder the Heavens from Warhammer

Chapter 79 It's your turn. Come out, Scarab of the Underworld! (Subscribe)

Although Winnie was still skeptical about Alvin's words, the more important issue at the moment was to verify whether what he said was true!

If it really is the Demon Engine, then she would have to consider whether to use her mentor Gransol's connections to send a distress signal to the Astartes.

The demon engine... is not something the Astra Militarum can handle!
But then, another serious problem was placed before Winnie.

How should she get there?
On the road leading to the Demon Engine's foundry, there are a large number of mechanical servants that have been corrupted by Chaos.

It is difficult to sneak into the core of the foundry quietly without alerting the cult with one's own strength.

"Can your armor take me there?"

Winnie set her sights on Alvin. Since he wasn't discovered by the Chaos Servant, then bringing one more person shouldn't be a problem, right?

"Sure, as long as you don't mind."

Alvin didn't care.

"Why should I care?"

Winnie glanced at him and sneered, "You don't think that as a warrior of His Majesty the Divine Emperor, I would care about gender like ordinary people do? That's just a cowardly act!"

She graduated from Zhongsi Academy and was born into the noble Winslet family. She was taught since childhood to devote everything to the Emperor.

Besides, according to the Judge's Code, the most taboo is to act on impulse.

As long as we can complete the mission of His Majesty the Divine Emperor and eradicate the heresy, personal feelings should be put aside!
Alvin laughed at himself.

I almost forgot that although Winnie is very beautiful, she is essentially... an Imperial Inquisitor!

After carrying Winnie on his back, Alvin reminded her, "Your Excellency the Judge, please hold on tight, or you'll be thrown off."

Winnie hugged his neck, her legs tangled around his waist like a crab, "I'm holding on tight."

Worthy of being called a judge!

Alvin exclaimed in his heart, then followed the same route he came from, carefully avoiding the Chaos Servant.

Soon, the two sneaked into the core of the foundry.

The terrifying creature, huge, twisted, and blasphemous like an ancient giant scorpion, is gradually completing the outer shell pipeline under the tireless work of the slaves on the assembly line.

"It's indeed the Devil's Engine!"

The moment she saw the creature, Winnie was certain that it was indeed a demonic creation, and judging from its appearance, it should be a predator belonging to the 'Blood God'... the 'Brass Scorpion'!
According to the Inquisition, it should be the 'Supreme Bronze Scorpion' or the 'Scorpion Colossus'. According to relevant information, it is one of the largest demon engines in the history of the Empire!

With a height of nearly thirty meters, it is considered huge even in the demon data known to the empire. Moreover, according to the information in the data, this type of demon engine moves fast and agilely, and is good at attacking static defensive positions!
The blood-colored metal shell was engraved with twisted chaos runes, a blessing from the evil god of the Warp. Not only could it defend against psychic energy, but even the main gun of a Leman Russ tank could not cause any damage to it!

And, from Winnie's professional perspective, she knows more than Alvin.

This 'Supreme Copper Scorpion' demon engine is only one step away from completion, and that is the power engine that imprisons the demon!
Once embedded with the imprisoned demon core, it will become a terrifying war machine!
"This is a big problem..."

Winnie bit her lip lightly, a hint of regret in her eyes.

She suddenly began to doubt whether she really... should learn from her mentor's approach?

If it was Master Gransol who handled it, he would probably send a distress signal to the surrounding Astra Militarum and Astartes regiments as soon as the Mechanical Priest reported the matter, right?

No, it's not too late now!
Winnie re-strengthened her wavering will.

"Your Excellency the Inquisitor, what should we do next?"

Alvin asked the person on his back for advice.

Winnie lowered her voice and said to him, "Don't alarm them. I have used the Rose Festival to record the situation here. Retreat... I will ask for help from the surrounding galaxies in the name of the Inquisitor."

"Ask for help?"

Alvin frowned, not thinking this was the best option: "Forgive my rudeness, Your Excellency the Inquisitor, shouldn't we destroy this demon engine now?"

"You think I don't want to?!" Winnie rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "Do you know what a 'demon engine' is? Even a Leman Russ might not be able to penetrate the shell of that thing. How can we destroy it with just the two of us?"

"But if we don't destroy this demon engine now, the hive will be destroyed by the cult when reinforcements arrive!"

Alvin shook his head and voiced his objection.

Given the Empire's rescue speed, even if the Inquisitor gave the order himself, it would take at least a month and at most several months.

Under the current circumstances, let alone a month, the cult will launch a full-scale attack on the nest city in at most half a month, or even a few days. How can they have so much time?
Winnie was almost laughing at this damned Downneslayer. She pointed at the Chaos Creation and cursed in a low voice, "Open your eyes and look carefully. The blasphemous runes on the shell of that thing are the blessing of the Chaos Blood God. Do you think you can destroy it?"

"I know. It is the blessing of the Blood God."

Alvin licked his lips. Instead of showing any fear, he even looked a little excited, with a hint of heart-pounding madness in his eyes.

"You... don't really have a solution?"

Winnie's eyes widened, and a glimmer of hope suddenly emerged.

Could it be that this guy was really blessed by the Divine Emperor?
"Yes, but this method... has a lot of risks."

Alvin certainly knew how strong the Demon Engine's defense was, but he had already prepared a way to deal with it.

"A… bit? Are you sure?"

After the lessons learned from the previous times, Winnie now has the shadow of "once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the rope for ten years".

"Your Excellency the Inquisitor, do we have any other choice now?" Alvin's calm tone was mixed with a hint of madness that made people feel cold: "Either, destroy the demon engine here, or wait for this demon engine to be completed. If we can't wait for rescue, the whole nest will fall!"

"You're right, we're out of time."

Winnie bit her lip and nodded helplessly, as if she was convinced: "If we can destroy the demon engine, we can at least buy some time for the reinforcements!"

Alvin no longer hesitated and took out a semicircular, flat, dark green metal disc from his private space.

"You're going to use this thing to destroy the demon engine?"

Seeing Alvin's cautious look, Winnie was immediately confused and a little annoyed and said, "Alvin, are you kidding me?"

"I'm sorry, but I'm not joking, Your Excellency the Inquisitor."

Glancing at the angry Inquisitor, Alvin said in a serious tone, "I can't tell you the origin of this thing for now, but I'm sure that even if it can't destroy the demon engine, it can at least give the cult a headache for a while!"

After seeing that his serious expression did not seem fake, Winnie finally realized that the thing might not be as simple as it seemed.

Looking at the dark green flat disc metal device in his hand, Alvin exhaled deeply, with a complicated look in his eyes.

Scarab Beetle.
If possible, he would never take it out!
But who would have thought that the cult secretly forged a demon engine? Since you do it on the first day, don't blame him for doing it on the fifteenth.

At worst, we can die together!

Pull out the Necrons, and no one will have an easy time!
“I hope it’s useful.”

Alvin injected the energy module he had prepared in advance directly into the metal disc.

Then, as if throwing a hot potato, he was afraid that if he was half a second late, he would get himself involved and thrown directly towards the demon engine.

"It's that simple?"

Winnie, who was watching from the sidelines, had a suspicious expression on her face.

That was the 'Demon Engine', a creation of the Chaos Gods. If it could be solved so easily, she would have swallowed it alive on the spot!

"Yes, it's that simple."

Alvin nodded calmly.

The technological creation of the Necrons, the overlord of the galaxy 65 million years ago, should not disappoint him, right?
