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

Chapter 446 Forced Slavery (Request for Subscription)

"So, is the Blackstone Fortress a creation of the Eldar or the Necrons?"

Cab Hal's thought matrix began to think. This was not an extremely complicated question, but because the time was too long and the parties involved had been annihilated and died, it became a question that was difficult to answer.

"The Eldar claim that this is a weapon created by their god: Vaal. The Vaal Amulet can tear open the veil between the real universe and the warp, draw a large amount of etheric energy, and release a vortex of psionic energy to destroy all enemies in its path."

"But the Necrons are the most widely used of the Black Stone. Their tomb worlds and world engines are all created with Black Stone."

Listening to the questions raised by the Forge General, Horus was in a rare good mood and planned to answer them.

"Is it possible that both parties once owned the Blackstone Fortress? My Hal."

"Black stones are just an objective existence. Anyone can use them, including us humans."

Although Horus' words were cordial, they sounded different when heard by Kyber Hal's hearing processor. The Horus of today was no longer the sun-like being of the past.

Although he looked the same, the Forge General still felt that Horus's "sameness" was deliberately imitated by the other party.

The other party was imitating Horus's behavior and his sun-like warmth, but fake is always fake, it is not real.

However, Kyberhar was not so ignorant as to expose this. As long as Horus could provide him with resources and materials to support his research and decryption of the warp, whether Horus was real or fake had little to do with him.

But those Sons of Horus seemed to really think that their father was still that father. What an organic fool...

"You and I both know that the existence of a special substance like Black Stone violates the underlying logic of this universe. It is essentially a psychic substance, but it has been anchored as a substance in the real universe."

"It combines the forces of reality and illusion at the same time. A Star God created it, so it can both suppress the warp and amplify the warp."

Horus smiled meaningfully. He knew that it was the Star God Void Dragon who created the Black Stone, but he did not tell his allies that the Void Dragon was the God of All Machines.

In his eyes, the Dark Mechanicus only needed to provide the supply of war materials and become his hounds obediently. If they had too many thoughts, they would be difficult to control.

"The psionic powers of the Ancients make them immune to physical damage. In order to fight against the Ancients, the Necrons created this Necronous version of the Blackstone Fortress that can use psionic power to fight the enemy."

"In order to deal with the C'tan who are almost invincible in physical terms, the Eldar gods also created the Eldar version of the Black Stone Fortress, using psychic energy to attack the enemy's weaknesses."

"Later, the Necrons discovered that these war fortresses built with black stone could not only be used to deal with enemies from the Old Saints camp, but could also be used to backstab their own gods."

General Casting didn't know where the Wolf God got his information from, but based on the calculation results of his thinking core, this was logically feasible.

"In this case, the Blackstone Fortress is definitely not a single one. One of the most important features of a mature weapon is its replicability. There are definitely more Blackstone Fortresses in the vast galaxy."

Kebhar's grave-digging instinct was activated again. He knew that the Blackstone Fortress in this galaxy had been reserved by the Wolf God. Apart from being able to participate in the research, it was impossible for them to take it into the arms of the Mechanicus.

However, the other Blackrock Fortresses still have no owners, so it might be possible for him to find a few and take them over.

"Speaking of which, Blackstone Fortress actually requires certain means to verify operations. This is also a barrier and threshold specially set up by its creators to prevent their creations from being used by the enemy."

"The Hand of Darkness and the Eye of Night... tacky names." Horus complained in a humane way.

If we compare it to human verification methods, wouldn’t it be biological fingerprint verification and biological retina verification?

"But we don't have that much time. We haven't even heard of the existence of the so-called Hand of Darkness and Eye of Night. Even the Eldar captives we captured have no information at all."

The Dark Mechanicus has a fanatical desire to study the technological creations of all races, even the Eldar are no exception.

Kyberhar knew that among the Dark Eldar, there existed some masters of flesh and blood souls known as the Haemonchus, whose skill in manipulating biological genes and flesh was unmatched in the galaxy. The Dark Mechanicus coveted the forbidden knowledge of the Eldar and would deliberately hunt the Eldar, but with limited success.

Moreover, most of those they captured were barbaric Eldar who had secluded themselves from the outside world. The technology and culture of those Aida who lived in isolated corners had regressed to the primitive period, and they had almost no ability to fight back against the Dark Mechanicus.

In addition to being able to extract the technology unique to the Eldar, the Mechanicus also discovered that the souls of these Eldar were particularly popular with the demons in the Warp. If human souls were dry food that was tasteless but could fill the stomach, then the souls of the Eldar were plump and juicy delicacies.

"I've already said it, I don't need those things, whether it's the God of Darkness or the Eye of Night."

"A firewall can only keep out thieves, but it can't stop violence, don't you understand, Hal?"

Horus stood still, his true nature only revealed the tip of the iceberg. An extremely terrifying psychic storm gathered in the highest heaven, while what appeared in the real universe was the black lightning entwined around the wolf-god.

In Kyberhar's eyes, Horus had become part of some indescribable existence, a projection of that existence in the real universe.

Above the orbit of the Crone World of Death, the Black Stone Fortress that had been dormant until now suddenly began to tremble slightly.

The vibration was so imperceptible that it seemed like a slight anomaly caused by gravitational disturbance.

But in fact, an ancient and ignorant will has awakened from this black stone fortress that is as big as an asteroid. It recalled its mission and why it was sleeping here.

According to its setting program, it will only wake up when it detects two [artifacts] that can take control of it, the God of Darkness and the Eye of Darkness.

But there is one exception:

That is, when Blackrock Fortress detects an irresistible and terrifying enemy, it will automatically wake up and go online to prevent itself from being destroyed by the opponent.

The Blackstone Fortress was also a rare war property for the ancient elves in the past, and it would never be allowed to be wasted or lost easily.

The arrival of the Wolf Shepherd God is obviously the latter.

The will of the Blackstone Fortress has never seen such a powerful enemy. Even the Eldar gods who created it in the past were not as powerful as the one approaching from the edge of the galaxy.

No, it's not a specific existence, but more like some kind of materialized warp disaster.

The four-corner structure of the upper and lower floors of the Blackstone Fortress began to rotate. At the same time, an extremely huge amount of psychic energy began to pour out from the subspace, and this ancient alien creation began to save itself and resist.

"It's slightly larger than Rogue's Phalanx, but I don't know which one is stronger?" Horus showed no sign of nervousness, as if the killing weapon in front of him that was gathering huge amounts of subspace energy did not exist.

A powerful sense of oppression emerged from the Blackstone Fortress, like a wild beast that had been sleeping for tens of thousands of years, occasionally waking up and opening its eyes to give a glimpse of a huge threat.

The Warp wizards and mortal psykers aboard the Vengeful Spirit were suffering mental torment. Compared to the mortals who simply marveled at the huge size of the Blackstone Fortress, humans with psychic eyes could realize its horror more clearly.

It used its own power to penetrate the veil of the universe and reach the highest sky.

The Blackstone Fortress is like a warp pump, constantly drawing power from the High Heavens. Many warp entities are even directly sucked into it and transformed into pure ether power.

This kind of power is simply incredible to human psychics, just like a primitive man who is using leaves to hold water and sees a water pump in the industrial age operating violently.

That magnificent celestial fortress started up its engines that had been extinguished for tens of thousands of years, and changed direction in a way that was difficult for humans to understand.

It faced Horus' fleet in an octahedral form, violent ether energy gathered in it, and pure non-material beams burst out with scarlet lightning, shooting out with an attitude far superior to the light of the sun.
