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

Chapter 501: Boarding the Blackstone Fortress

The Infinite Loyalty is an ancient warship born at the end of the Dark Age of Technology. Its concealment performance surpasses most of the space starships built by the Empire, which is why Ryan Johnson dared to use it for infiltration and boarding.

Relic-class battleships like this are extremely rare even in the powerful Dark Angels Legion. Every time one is lost, even the Lion King himself will feel the pain for a long time.

"Sir, have you unleashed the true potential of the Infinite Loyalty? I know that this ancient relic warship has capabilities beyond our imagination, but we have never been able to truly activate it."

"Even the best technical sergeant cannot truly establish a stable relationship and affection with its machine soul. It's as if it... looks down on us."

"What an incredible power. Lord Ryan once told me some things about you, but obviously that's not all."

Coswayn held the tactical helmet in his right arm, leaned forward slightly, and spoke in a low voice with a reverent attitude.

It must be said that the way Coswayen spoke was very pleasant to the ear, and even the most picky people would find it difficult to feel disgusted.

You can feel that his words come from the heart and he expresses his thoughts in a genuine way.

Akao also has a dignified and elegant appearance. Although he is not as handsome as the son of Sanguinius, he gives people an extremely reliable and stable feeling.

This Lion Steward is completely different from the vast majority of unruly Dark Angels. To be honest, Roxi has always felt uncomfortable getting along with these Space Marines of the First Legion.

They have a kind of arrogance and a touch of madness hidden in their bones. Although all of this is concealed by their strict military discipline, it can still be detected by feeling.

The Dark Angels even have a kind of contempt and arrogance towards other Space Marine Legions. They are the first Astartes Legion to be born, and also the oldest and most powerful.

The Luna Wolves? The Emperor's favorite giant babies; the Ultramarines? Big but not refined, too mediocre; the Emperor's Children? Coy and stupid.

Unlike the contrived arrogance of the Emperor's Children, the pride of the Dark Angels is hidden. They may hold contempt in their hearts and look down upon all legions equally, but they will never expose it openly.

They hid all their emotions and thoughts under their black, red and silver armor, hidden under the inner ring system that was nested layer by layer and could not be figured out by anyone except the Lion King.

Luo Xi believes that this kind of legion's background will sooner or later cause the First Legion to suffer greatly. Now the Lion King can still suppress the undercurrent within the legion, but what if Ryan Johnson is gone one day?
Then the powder keg inside the Dark Angels will be completely ignited, and this glorious and ancient legion will be blown to pieces.

"Of course. If we want to board the Black Stone Fortress perfectly, this warship needs even greater improvements. The difficulty of this task is beyond imagination."

Luo Xi smiled and said that Koswayn was different from all the dark angels. He hoped that the Lion King could influence his battle brothers.

"If you don't mind, I'll call you Akao." Luo Xi joked, "Lian always calls you this, which is very rare for the serious and rigid lion king."

Akao showed an embarrassed smile, "Of course, it's my pleasure."

"I need to make some more modifications to this battleship, which may involve some major changes."

As the words fell, the ancient battleship continued to undergo a transformation.

With the Iron Throne where Roche was located as the core, the power of authority began to spread and expand, invisibly changing the overall structure of the Infinite Loyalty.

The metal materials that make up the warships were broken down and reorganized, and reshaped in a more scientific way, making them stronger and more durable.

The battleship's reactor and engine deformed and reshaped under the horrified gaze of the technical priest, the dark blue flames burst out with a more powerful thrust, and a more efficient energy structure replaced the original structure.

Even the surface of the armor was covered with a layer of invisible coating, and the Infinite Loyalty seemed to be invisible in the void. The enemy's artillery fire completely ignored the rapidly approaching warship.

The most important machine soul became infinitely fanatical under the influence of Roche. It controlled the entire battleship and operated efficiently in a way that humans could not understand at all.

"Be prepared for a collision, we are about to approach the Blackstone Fortress!" The Astartes in the battleship immediately made all preparations, and the cold-blooded war-type iron man stood aside without any emotional reaction.

The Infinite Loyalty, which had remained invisible, shook violently and crashed into the field composed of pure subspace energy.

This is the Blackrock Fortress' greatest reliance. Even if the main guns of the Thundercloud-class planetary battleships bombard this place, they will still be weakened by the subspace energy and most of their power will be diluted.

Roche, who was connected to the battleship, felt that the subspace energy was boiling, trying to corrupt and change the invader, the Infinite Loyalty.

"The Blackstone Fortress has completely switched to the mode of amplifying the subspace. It is a living small subspace rift that can extract more ether power." Luo Xi understood.

However, this is actually a good thing for him.

Because the authority and power of Om Messiah is essentially a very special psychic power.

But compared with simple psychic power, it is slightly different. Now Luo Xi can't even describe that indescribable feeling.

Perhaps it is related to the Void Dragon, the God of All Things. This power is not entirely psychic power.

Under the influence of the Blackstone Fortress, Luo Xi only felt that the power that his will could control suddenly increased, and he could even control some of the chaotic and disordered subspace forces.

An invisible psychic shield appeared on the hull of the Infinite Loyalty, protecting it from the surging warp energy.

The best way to deal with the Warp is to use other Warp forces. The entire battleship was shaking violently, and the swaying energy frenzy almost tore its hull apart.

"If you approach this area without doing anything, then I'll tell you."

Amid the violent shock, Luo Xi even had the mood to smile and make a joke with Akao.

“Ever seen how a meat grinder works?”

"All of you will die. Even if a few of you survive, you will be swept into the depths of the Warp Sea by the chaotic power of the Aether."

On this battleship there were 3,000 Astartes warriors from various legions, as well as 1,500 Dark Angel veterans led by Corswayn. These 4,500 elite soldiers were almost killed or wounded before they could even play any role.

This is a fatal threat brought about by the lack of intelligence. Humans don't know anything about the Black Stone Fortress. If Luo Xi hadn't received some fragmentary warnings from Uslan, I'm afraid that humans would have to pay the price of countless blood to figure out the rules.

In fact, ever since the Great Crusade, humans have faced countless dangerous alien enemies of all kinds. They have shed the blood of countless warriors to find the enemy's weaknesses, and then relied on their size advantage to kill all kinds of powerful enemies.

After enduring some painful tearing torture, the Infinite Loyalty finally broke through the layer of subspace fog and arrived at its true body.

There is no need to step into the set up teleportation devices. A gear mark appears on the surface of each Astartes' power armor. That is the teleportation beacon left by Roche. He can directly send these warriors to the interior of the war fortress built by the Eldar gods.

The next second, Roche had sent 4,500 Astartes and 2,000 war-type iron men to the depths of the Blackstone Fortress.

"It's our turn, Prophet."

Uslan returned the narrow helmet that he had been holding to his chest to its original place, and then the two of them disappeared onto the deck of the Infinite Loyalty.

Only the warships that still remained invisible were left cruising in space, like silent watchers witnessing humanity's heroic act.
