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

Chapter 302: The Demon Enslavement Plan

As early as the time when Guilliman was assassinated, a Word Bearers hermit loyal to the Emperor came to Macragge to surrender. He mastered a large amount of Warp sorcery of the Word Bearers Legion and had an extraordinary understanding of the Warp.

It can be said that he is a thorough expert in the field of subspace and the entire extreme star field.

At that time, Roche and Guilliman proposed a hypothesis: that is to summon demons from the Warp, and use the ability of the Untouchables to completely kill the Warp demons, to coerce and bribe them to sell out the intelligence of the Warp and serve humanity.

In fact, for a long time humans have had a great misunderstanding of the Warp Demons. Many people believe that these monsters born in the Sea of ​​Souls will not fear death. However, in fact, demons are also afraid of death.

Killing a Warp Demon in the real universe does not harm the other party's essence, but only destroys the vehicle through which the other party descends into the material world, and then exiles it back to the Warp.

As time passed and the devil almost recovered, he regained the ability and ambition to invade the real universe.

This is a very incredible and bold idea. So far, human beings’ understanding of the subspace is still very passive, and even remains at a very rough level.

How many forces there are in the subspace, what kind of layout they have made against humans, and how to effectively counter-pressure the space are still in the exploratory stage.

For example, the anti-subspace demon rules summarized by Hill were rules that were summarized bit by bit through exhaustive method and experience in actual combat. They may not be applicable to other situations.

Before the loyalists plan to return to defend Terra through the webway, if they can get some intelligence about the traitors in advance, it will undoubtedly give them a great advantage.

Interstellar warfare is largely a war of intelligence. If you can obtain intelligence that is ahead of the enemy, you have already secured nearly half of the chances of winning. The reason why the rebel legions are so difficult to deal with is because the subspace is on the opposite side and the intelligence advantage is on the enemy side.

Guilliman and Roche shared their ideas with everyone present. In a sense, the people here have formed a community of interests and are all in the same boat, so there is naturally no need to be too secretive.

Roboute even had the dark thought of dragging everyone into this. Capturing and enslaving warp demons was such an extremely blasphemous act. If he was the only one doing it, there might be some constraints, but if everyone did it, then there would be no big problem.

If everyone does it, it means no one has done it.

Even if it is accidentally exposed one day, he can confidently say that both Lion and Sanguinius have done it, so why are they targeting him alone?

Uslan was silent after hearing this. He began to understand that the reason why humans wanted to seize the Black Stone was not only to prevent the infiltration and corrosion of the subspace, they even wanted to arrogantly counterattack the subspace.

Sanguinius, who had previously exiled a Great Keeper of Slaanesh and a Bloodthirster of Khorne in the Signus system, knocked his head, surprised at the audacious idea of ​​his seemingly honest brother.

Only the Archangel himself knew that when facing the two Chaos Daemons, the other party had tried to negotiate with him: as long as Sanguinius was willing to join Chaos, the Most High would completely cure the difficult-to-eradicate genetic disease of the angel's offspring.

Before the return of the Primarch of the Blood Angels, they were called Ghouls, and this was not groundless. Every Astartes of the 9th Legion had a bloodthirsty instinct, a genetic disease called thirst.

This is the secret that Sanguinius buried deep in his heart, and it is also a taboo that the Blood Angels Legion cannot speak of.

In the Signus system, he was indeed shaken and hesitated by the temptation of the devil. If it were not for the sacrifice of the Legion's pharmacist Herlous who alerted Sanguinius, the archangel would have given up hope and become a puppet of Chaos.

"Guilliman, your idea... is very bold. I should have stopped you, but I believe in your wisdom. You are not like Magnus, who is so foolish that he appears to be wise. You are good at planning before you act and thinking twice before you act. Now that you have thought it through, then just do it."

"But you have to remember that the Warp Demons tell lies all the time. In other words, any suggestion they make is partially correct and partially wrong. The Demons will infinitely magnify the correct part, thus letting people down their guard."

Guilliman was surprised by Sanguinius's reasonableness. He had thought that he would have to spend more time to persuade the regent to give him permission.

After all, the Second Empire now has a regent, and Guilliman must follow his ideas and consent in both public and private matters.

"What about you, Ryan?"

"what is your opinion?"

Everyone turned their attention to the Lion King. The opinion of the Duke of Protector of the Country was very important. After all, he now controlled most of the military power of the Second Empire.

When Lion heard this plan, he couldn't help but marvel at Guilliman's audacity. Guilliman was a damn genius, why hadn't he thought of it?

Enslaving demons, torturing demons, squeezing out all their value and then slaughtering them... It was exactly the same thing that the Dark Angels had been doing.

If Guilliman didn't do this, then Lion would have to secretly conduct warp summoning experiments on his own ship. He was tired of being in a passive state all the time.

It's just a matter of capturing some demons and interrogating them. The Dark Angels are very good at this.

But on the surface, he still didn't want to give Guilliman too much praise. After all, this guy was too irritating most of the time, and showing him a good face would make him even more excessive.

He had to suppress Guilliman and not let him act recklessly.

"I have no objection, but when you do it, I must be there to supervise you to prevent anything from getting out of control. This is my responsibility."

"I am the commander-in-chief of the Second Empire. Any threat must first pass me."

The lion stroked his sword proudly. He had too many questions that he wanted answers to.

The three primarchs voted unanimously in favor of the resolution, which meant that this matter would be implemented quickly.

This brief meeting ended temporarily, and Guilliman sent his own think tank director Titus Prieto to the cell where the Word Bearers hermit was imprisoned to completely release this key figure.

Now, it's time for him to shine.

Roche personally followed Titus to the cell where the hermit had been torturing himself for years. This fanatical follower of the Emperor used torture to relieve his inner guilt, even though no one here thought he was guilty.

As a son of Lorgar, he was able to defy his genetic instincts and uphold his faith in the Emperor, and he was a loyalist worthy of admiration.

When the hermit, who was wearing anti-psychic shackles all over his body, saw Luo Xi coming, an expression of relief finally appeared on his face. The time for him to atone for his sins had finally come.

The hermit held a quill in his hand, and while wearing heavy shackles and chains, he worked non-stop to write a copy of Lorgar's "Sacred Words" and other secrets of the Warp that were only recorded in his mind.

The hermit must ensure that even after his death, the knowledge in his head must remain, providing guidance and assistance to the loyalists in their fight against the traitors.

"You finally came."

The hermit's figure had become extremely thin, totally unlike the body shape of an Astartes who had undergone extraordinary surgery. His skin was pale and his eye sockets were deeply sunken, as if he had not had a good rest for a long time.

"If it weren't for the conversation you had with me a few years ago, which brought the Emperor's will that I must not enter the arms of death until I have atonement for my sins, I would have wanted to die long ago.

Really, every time I fall asleep, my eyes are filled with the dead brothers who are questioning me. My sword is stained with the blood of my brothers. I have failed the Emperor. "

Luo Xi could see the dejection in the other person. The hermit really wanted to die, but he couldn't die now because he still had irreplaceable value.

"We have found the Black Stone. It is time to build a Black Stone Fortress that can summon Warp Demons. You will be our chosen [Angler]. Come on, cheer up. In the name of the Emperor, you must help us extract enough Warp intelligence from the demons."

Upon hearing this, all the shackles on the hermit fell off, and his modified and reinforced skin was worn out, revealing the black stone shell implants under his skin.

He broke free from his chains and walked out of the cage.

"In the name of the Emperor, as you wish."
