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

Chapter 304: The Mission That Will Never Be Decrypted (Please Subscribe)
This was the first time that Roche had looked directly at the Warp without the protection of Geller's stance. Given human mental resistance, the only outcome of facing the Warp was complete madness, with consciousness destroyed by the aftermath of the Sea of ​​Souls.

Only humans with the strongest wills can maintain their identity after coming into contact with the energy of the warp and defeat the inner demons activated by the influence of the warp.

However, due to the limitations of the Black Stone Altar, the opened Warp rift was limited to this point, and its power was confined and restricted, like a raging flood isolated outside a dam.

To be on the safe side, Roche assembled five hundred of the most elite and victorious soldiers, and even their leader Grod was in charge in person.

The head of the think tank, Titus Prieto, has arrived at the satellite with the think tank troops. The leader of the Untouchables, Dulles, has also arrived. After summoning the demons, it is time for them to perform.

As per custom, Luo Xi was accompanied and protected by Sharokin, and the Eldar prophet Uslan also arrived here.

The hermit chanted aloud the prayer used to summon a daemon of the Warp, pointing to a being ancient enough that he had dealt with it once before, when he was still in the Word Bearers Legion.

It was an extremely cunning and brutal Warp demon. Its greed for souls and flesh was extraordinary even among its peers. Of course, it was also ancient enough and was not a newly born Warp creature.

Roche's goal is to extract enough intelligence from the Warp Demon, especially the actions currently being taken by the traitor Horus in the galaxy.

Due to the impact of the Ruinstorm, astropathic communications throughout the galaxy were disrupted, and much of Macragge's knowledge of the outside world came from the people who saw the lights of Pharos and fled here.

They told of their own experiences and of terrible things happening elsewhere, but the information was too fragmented to serve as effective intelligence support.

After all, it is a complete daydream to expect some refugees to know the military deployment and strategic direction of Warmaster Horus.

They didn't know the battle situation in the solar galaxy, where the traitors had fought to, and which legions were the main attacking and which legions were the supporting ones.

The most important thing is the movements of those fallen Primarchs. After the Shadow Crusade was thwarted, Lorgar the Great Bearer fled back to the Warp with Angron, who had ascended to demon status, and they have never been found since. No one knows what they are doing.

But the Warp Demons are different. They originally live in the Warp, and the storms they stir up are not as lethal to the natives of the Sea of ​​Souls.

Because of the temporal and spatial disorder of the subspace, these demons may come from other regions and may know the situation in other places.

The ritual is ongoing, and the hermit mobilizes his psychic power to call upon the other party's presence.

He could feel that the evil Warp creature was approaching, and because the Word Bearers had previously reached a cooperation with the other party, the greedy guy was coming without any vigilance.

In that thing's view, the weak believers in the material world need to borrow its power, and in return, it can also get a rich sacrifice of human flesh and souls.

Creatures of the Warp never suffer losses.

Although humans are not as delicious as the Eldar, they are at least a precious dessert, and they have the advantage of being large in quantity and filling. In the subspace full of monsters and demons, there are too many beings who need them.

The High Heaven has never been a peaceful place. In the undulating ether currents, there are too many subspace creatures devouring and preying on each other, and those weak beings struggling to survive are extremely difficult to capture.

The ceremony finally ended, and all that was left was to wait for time to pass and then wait for the results.

This is indeed a technical job. Even if they find the black stone and can use its characteristics to create a controllable subspace rift, how can they accurately find the required object?

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he whispered to the hermit, "What we are doing now is challenging the bottom line of the empire, teetering on the edge of the red line, and we may cross the line at any time.

Others will not understand that we are trying to obtain intelligence from the demons of the warp, they will only think that we are conducting some unknown transactions with these corrupted beings. "

"These will remain confidential forever and will never be declassified."

The hermit nodded calmly. He did think that the Primarchs were playing with fire. Humans often thought they could control the power of the Warp, but were often backfired by the other side and became slaves of the Warp.

He can only do his best to minimize the risk.

Luo Xi continued, "But everything is possible. As long as we have done this, it will leave traces on the timeline and may be leaked in the future. Therefore, if this tiny probability occurs, we will put all the blame on you."

"It was you who bewitched Guilliman and everyone in the Second Empire into carrying out your evil plan, attempting to summon the demons of the Warp to subvert this newly created empire."

"By then, everyone will know your name. Countless people will accuse and insult you. You will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history. Even thousands of years later, people will still remember you - a Word Bearer fool named the Hermit, who was tried for playing with witchcraft and demons."

The hermit's face remained calm, as if what Luo Xi was talking about was not him.

"I know you may not care about your posthumous reputation, but no one will remember that you were loyal to the Emperor.

No one will remember your efforts for the continuation of the empire and the lives of more people.

No one will remember that you risked your life to extract intelligence from those demonic beings of the Warp."

Everything that Roche said was true. If the whole thing leaked out due to some accident, they would have to find someone to take responsibility for it. None of the three Primarchs of the Second Empire could take the blame.

Their sanctity and legality were no longer so solid after the emergence of the traitor Primarch, and if they were tainted with the taint of collaborating with the demons of the Warp, how could others be convinced of them?

Why is it that Horus and other traitor Primarchs' cooperation with the Warp is considered treason, while the three Primarchs of the Second Empire contacted Daemons for the sake of the Empire. How can they have the face to say that they are loyal?

Luo Xi's voice was not loud, but his tone was more solemn than ever before.

"Your faith in the Emperor will be denied by everyone, and you will be a complete traitor. And you will have to silently pay for those who accuse you and move forward with a heavy burden. Are you really willing and able to accept this?"

The hermit suddenly laughed, and his laugh was ugly. His dry flesh attached to his bones looked hideously distorted due to the change in his expression.

"I don't care, Roshi, I don't care about these. If these little things can make the Emperor's empire continue for even a second, then just do it. The Emperor is everything to me. If I can fall into the abyss, and His kingdom can rise to heaven, that is what I hope for."

"There are always some people in our human race who cannot see the light. These people walk in the dark, do things that others cannot understand at all, and endure the accusations and insults of others. So why can't this person be me?"

Luo Xi looked at the withered Word Bearer. He was indeed an unreasonable fanatic, but also a loyal man who could never be shaken.

If his genetic father had half the ideological awareness of the hermit, how could he have betrayed the Emperor and thrown himself into Chaos?
