Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 154: Subspace Fishing Plan

"Are you sure you want to do this? In the words of Gutera, you are courting disaster."

In the ward, Ventanus and the Word Bearers Hermit had already left, leaving only Guilliman and Roche.

"To seek the skin of a tiger? As long as we are strong enough, the tiger will have only two choices: to peel off its skin by itself, or we will peel off its skin by ourselves."

"The entirety of the subspace is terrible, but that doesn't mean that we can't control the individuals. If they don't want to be decent, then we can help them be decent."

Guilliman smiled meaningfully. He had long been wary of the power of the Warp. Now that he had a way to deal with it, he naturally wanted to squeeze out its value completely.

"Remember the black stone you told me about? That magical material that can amplify or suppress the warp. I plan to build a fortress made of black stone on Macragge's satellite."

"Afterwards, I will have the hermit perform a warp sorcery ritual in the Blackstone Fortress to summon some relatively controllable warp creatures."

This……

Luo Xi's eyes sparkled, and he spoke first: "When those entities from the warp entered the Blackstone Fortress, they were no longer in control of themselves. It's time for those untouchables we found to come in handy."

Guilliman nodded at the tacit understanding between the two. When he learned about the use of the Black Stone and the devastating killing power of the Untouchables on the creatures of the Warp, a similar plan had appeared in his mind.

But he still lacked someone who could carry out this plan, and the hermit captured by Ventanus from the underground war in Calth undoubtedly completed the last link.

A systematic mechanism that allows for an endless supply of fishing in the subspace.

Who says that only creatures from the subspace can run into the real universe, destroy everything in the human world, and devour human flesh and souls?
Why can't humans lure subspace creatures into the real universe and then ravage them at will?

Roboute wondered what the summoned Warp creatures would choose between total death and enslavement when surrounded by dozens of Untouchables.

The difficulty of subspace creatures lies in their immortality. All subspace creatures that come to the real universe must have a real carrier to carry their existence, but in fact their essence still exists in the Sea of ​​Souls.

Destroying their bodies in the real universe would at most exile them, sending these malicious entities back to where they belong.

It is precisely for this reason that the creatures in the subspace have become more and more unscrupulous. To them, their actions in the real universe are no different from the wanton destruction in the virtual world.

Anyway, after being killed in the real universe, they can return to the subspace and be resurrected.

The soulless nature of the Untouchables will devour their essence like a black hole, and all spiritual energy will only end up extinct in the face of the soulless.

It has to be admitted that Guilliman's vision is very dangerous. He tries to enslave those Warp entities and use coercion and bribery to use them for his own purposes.

But at the same time, it does contain temptations that are difficult to resolve.

Every creature in the subspace, since it can survive in the dangerous Sea of ​​Souls, must have its own uniqueness and long history.

Their memories contain many secrets about the Warp. These lost knowledge and forbidden knowledge are what humans lack.

Humans are too ignorant when facing the subspace, and the two sides are simply not on the same level in terms of information.

The subspace knows everything about humans. Even the journey of human beings from primitive times to the starry sea is inextricably linked to the subspace.

Humans know very little about the subspace and only know how to use its characteristics for faster-than-light travel and communication.

"More importantly, we are now separated from the Ultramarine and Solarmarine by the Storm of Destruction. All news and communication no longer exist. We need intelligence, even if it comes from demons." The Warp Storm created by the Word Bearers blocked communication between empires, just like a real sea storm that blocked the passage of ships.

However, entities in the Warp are different. They are born in the Sea of ​​Souls, like fish in the ocean. Although the storm is raging, they can move with the flow in the Warp.

The Ruinstorm poses far less threat to the natives of these subspaces than to real cosmic creatures like humans.

"What a crazy idea. If we can really enslave the demons, then we might have a way to obtain and transmit information other than relying on astropaths for communication."

Roche saw what was in Guilliman's eyes. The Lord of Five Hundred Worlds was forced to make changes due to the current situation. He even began to try some bold actions that would have been impossible in the past.

The Guilliman who once upheld the truth of the Empire and rejected all talk of ghosts and gods has become the Guilliman who uses a rational attitude to analyze and measure the Warp.

He still insisted on being rational, but no longer resisted the things in the subspace.

"But black stone is a problem. We haven't found enough black stone veins yet. Without this material that can be freely manipulated as a foundation, it will be difficult for us to flexibly summon subspace creatures."

You have to know that if the Word Bearers want to summon demons from the Warp, they need specific rituals, certain sacrifices, and even special times and places. They often use human souls and flesh and blood as sacrifices to summon the required existence.

This kind of behavior is something that Guilliman or Roche would never do.

Their fundamental purpose is to protect humanity. If they are willing to use methods that are no different from those of traitors for this grand goal, what is the difference between them and traitors?
Even if the loyalists need to use more extreme means than before in order to defeat those who betrayed them, the bottom line must never be trampled upon or broken.

If they continue to cross the line for the sake of their goals, one day the empire will become no different from the traitors.

"I know, the plan must be carried out step by step, and we still have time." Guilliman said.

"The fleets of the Mechanicus and the Five Hundred Worlds are searching everywhere for traces of the Black Stone Mine. I believe it must exist, but we have not found it yet."

Luo Xi fell into deep thought.

The Black Stone and the Pharos, these two things taught by the Necrons solved the two key problems of anti-psychic energy and faster-than-light communication and navigation.

This is an extremely critical move, which is related to whether the entire situation can be revitalized.

But the more important the link, the easier it is to go wrong. What on earth do the Necrons want from them?
"We can only take it one step at a time. Only after we get enough Black Stone can we push forward the implementation of various important plans."

"I have another idea. If Blackstone can really become a stable anti-warp means, then we will have a way to break through the shackles of the warp." Roche took a deep breath and looked at Guilliman.

"I mean artificial intelligence. Facts have proven that if humans voluntarily give up the power of artificial intelligence, they will have a hard time. If we can use black stone to create an area that is anti-corruption of the subspace, perhaps we can use artificial intelligence in such an environment."

The shadow of the corruption in the Warp has been lingering, and Roche has been using the power of Red Alert with the utmost caution. The emergence of Black Stone undoubtedly means the lifting of the ban on the power of the intelligent brain.

"Let's discuss this issue after the effect of the Black Stone is verified." Guilliman's attitude was neither supportive nor opposed, but this was enough.

This is human nature. If you want to open a window, someone may object. But if you want to tear off the roof, your request to open a window will be granted.

Guilliman even had the idea of ​​enslaving the creatures in the Warp. Would he turn a blind eye to artificial intelligence that could completely liberate human productivity and lead human civilization out of ignorance?

As he said, everything takes time, you have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time.
