Warhammer: Emperor's Ravenbringer

Chapter 18: Machine, Heal Yourself

Brother Fotikodia drives the nine-meter-tall humanoid mecha Ares Squire.

This is a Paladin-class knight mech.
A destructive war machine with dark blue protective armor, energy deflection shields, hellfire cannons, pulse cannons, and missile arrays.

He looked at the man in front of him through the mecha's observation module.

The other party was shrouded in golden light.

It looked so perfect, so divine.

He heard what the other party said, but was unable to reply because of shock and excitement.

In the face of such a perfect and sacred being, words become pale and powerless.

The man placed his hand on the knee of Ares's squire.

"The machine will heal you by itself."

The voice is full of confidence and power.

It was clearly heard by every knight.

Breathe new vitality into every cell in their bodies that are a combination of flesh, blood and steel.

The soft golden light spread out with the other party as the center.

Fotikodia felt a warmth flowing through the mecha's body.

Every part of the Ares Squire Mech has been completely redesigned.

As if it had just come off the assembly line.

The machine soul hidden deep within its core moaned with happiness.

He could feel that the machine soul had become exceptionally active and excited, and its connection coefficient with him was rising sharply.

"Who are you?" Fotikodia's voice was full of tension and uneasiness.

"I am the Emperor."

The man's answer was simple.

However, Fotikodia heard the solemnity of history and the possibility of a bright future in every syllable.

When he realized that he would never hear words of such great significance again for the rest of his life, tears unconsciously flowed down his face.

At the call of the inner voice, Fotikodia and the Ares follower he was riding made a move that shocked everyone.

He knelt on one knee before the Emperor.

Amid the hissing sound of the piston mechanism, the noble knight mecha lowered its metal head.

This is an act of surrender, signifying the offering of loyalty and the rest of one's life.

At that moment, Timon Vtikodia knew the truth of the being standing before him.

"Welcome to Mars, my Lord," he said. "All praise is due to the Great Omnissiah, the Eternal God of All Things."

The knights behind also controlled the mechas and kneeled down in tacit understanding.

Their shouts came from the mecha's loudspeaker.

"All praise is due to the great Omnissiah, the everlasting God of all things."

"All praise is due to the great Omnissiah, the everlasting God of all things."

The Emperor has arrived on Mars.

It caused a huge sensation.

He perfectly fits the prophecy of Moravec, the founder of the Singularity Brotherhood, about the God of All Machines.

Countless local people regard him as the physical incarnation of the God of All Things, the savior of human civilization, and the only faith in the universe.

During the Long Night, after human civilization fell into decline, Mars also fell into turmoil.

But after a few centuries, the Mechanicum established its dominance over Mars.

Through various mechanical doctrines, Mars eventually developed a powerful mechanical culture.

The Martian civilization was established on the basis of worshiping the God of All Things - Omnissiah.

To them, science and technology are mysterious and sacred religious products.

It not only relates to rational cognition, but is also closely related to various rituals and sacrifices.

In the teachings of the Mechanicus, the God of All Machines is the supreme being.

Every believer of the Mechanicus must unconditionally obey the will of the God of Machines.

Many lords of Mars, led by the Forging General, Carlbo, rushed over.

Unlike ordinary people, they are skeptical about whether the Emperor is the incarnation of the God of All Things.

“How can God come to this world?”

Kalbo's mechanical eyes scanned the Emperor up and down, trying to find evidence of his impostorship.

Yet, no matter how he searched, the Emperor was always the embodiment of perfection.

All detection methods are ineffective on the opponent.

"Moravec has predicted my coming, but you are questioning it. Does this mean that you have betrayed the Mechanical Spirit?"

The Emperor looked at Karbo with a very calm tone. The knights including Fotikodia looked at Karbo and other lords with a trace of solemnity.

They activated the Knight mech's weapon systems and defense systems.

Once they confirm that Carlbo and others have betrayed the Mechanical Spirit, they will act without hesitation.

The Knights were all born on Mars.

But faith in the Omnissiah stood above all else, to whom they had pledged their loyalty and the rest of their lives.

They would never allow anyone to question the human incarnation of the God of All Things.

Martian lords such as Carbo can also feel the thoughts of the people and knights.

If they deny the Emperor's identity, it will most likely cause the division of Mars.

Those people and knights would think that they denied the Emperor's identity for the sake of power.

The Mechanicum evolved from Moravec's Brotherhood of the Singularity, with the faith of the Omnissiah as the foundation of everything.

The power of the Martian Lords also depends on the belief in the God of All Machines.

"We will never betray the Mechanical Spirit, but we need more proof."

Karlbo said: "When the respected sage Moravec left, he left behind a secret vault that contained his life's work, but no one has been able to find it for many years."

"If you are truly the God of All Things, then you should be able to find it."

The Emperor smiled gently, "Of course."

Under the protection of the Imperial Guards, the Emperor led Kalbo and other Martian lords into the intricate labyrinth under Mount Olympus.

These labyrinths were built during the Golden Age of Humanity and were once part of magnificent cities.

After the Long Night, the above-ground part was destroyed by war, leaving only the intricate underground part.

The tunnel is filled with thousands of years of dust.

Dozens of tunnels splay out into the darkness, chiseled into Martian rock formations that are billions of years old.

Hundreds of suspended servoskulls surrounded their group, lighting up the dim tunnel.

They continued to go deeper and deeper, with a cloud of dust flying behind them.

The sound of metallic footsteps echoed between the dry and gray walls.

They walked into an echoing hall with many dark tunnels leading to the unknown ahead.

The Emperor led them into one of the passages without any hesitation.

They passed through dusty tombs, through empty cells, through alcoves where skulls lay in heaps.

The team walked for a long time and saw an old hall filled with dusty books and rusty machines.

Carlbo and others became extremely excited.

The Moravec Secret Vault, which is rumored to contain the secrets of how the universe works, is about to be released.

Karbo opened his own record matrix and drew the map cache memory module.

I plan to record all the tunnels I pass through.

As soon as he returned, he immediately sent people to develop it.

He couldn't wait to study the unknown technology left by Moravec.

After passing through a twisting tunnel, they arrived at a circular hall with a diameter of 160 meters.

The hall glowed softly, but there was no obvious source of light.

An ancient and magnificent door with many runes carved on it is embedded in the wall of the hall.

A mechanical data keyboard and dial are installed in front of the door.

There is also a text written in binary numbers next to it.

The Emperor stood before the gate and said, "This is Moravec's secret cave."

Carbone and others scanned the binary text.

[Only the one who protects the empire, the Lord of mankind, the human incarnation of the God of Machinery, can find this place]

[Anyone who worships the spirit of machinery must unconditionally obey the incarnation of Omnissiah, otherwise they will be spurned by the spirit of machinery.]

【

The spirit of machinery and the sophistication of technology are both superior to the mortal body.

Praising the spirits is our duty, caring for the spirits is the source of our happiness, and comforting the spirits is the basis of your survival.

Without dogma, the spirit of the machine will not help.

Ring the bell once! Push the lever to activate the piston and pump!
Ring the bell twice! Press the button, start the engine, ignite the turbine, and breathe life into it!
Ring the bell three times! Sing in unison, and praise the God of all things!
】

After confirming that these words were left by Moravec in the past, Karlbo and other Martian lords were excited.

They all looked at the Emperor.

"Glorious Omnissiah, please open it."
