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

Chapter 527 Six Thousand Souls of Vengeance

Along with the screams of the crew and the alarm of the battleship's scanning array, the atmosphere in the entire cabin suddenly fell into an extremely strange silence.

An indescribable sense of tension is spreading wildly.

It was like the calm before a volcanic eruption and the retreat before a tsunami, but all of this disappeared in just a second.

Because the intelligent computer is broadcasting the number of enemies appearing on the battlefield through the loudspeaker.

Ryan Johnson and Luo Xi walked quickly towards the sensor, and the voice of the intelligent computer was spreading.

With their naked eyes, they could see that a dark, blank area without any features was expanding rapidly, starting from the planet Beta Garmon III.

Those cosmic objects, warship wreckage and even sunlight disappeared, presenting an incredible phenomenon.

Luo Xi's brain also fell into a state of confusion in an instant. What he saw was neither material nor virtual, but a strange existence formed by the mixture of the two.

In terms of the degree of danger, it is even more exaggerated than the sub-space.

But he had sensed the rise in the unknown type of warp energy and non-matter flux that the battleship's sensors had picked up.

If we must explain all this from a rational perspective, perhaps it can be described as the disintegration of the real universe and the complete collapse of four-dimensional physics.

These strange beings display many characteristics of corruption, deformation, and stagnation. Like the creations of the Warp, they are generally not bound or affected by time.

More importantly, the cosmic environment here is rapidly being replaced by this formless dark void, which is an imperfect infinite sphere, like a new universe that is exploding and being born.

"What the hell is Horus doing? He completely destroyed the veil?" Roxi said in disbelief.

There is a barrier called the Curtain between the real universe and the subspace, which protects the real universe from being invaded by the subspace. After all, most of the time, it is the subspace that invades the real universe.

The evil beings in the Warp must pass through the veil to reach the other side, which is why many Warp demons must rely on rituals and carriers to descend.

And now this dark space is expanding at an unimaginable speed. According to the calculation of the intelligent computer, it will completely devour the entire Beta Garmon Cluster within four months and reach the solar system in six months. At that time, the human home planet may also fall into it.

Horus displayed another unknown method, and Roshi's scalp tingled, because even the authority in his soul was temporarily unable to analyze this thing.

He would rather have a specific enemy like Blackstone Fortress to fight. Even though those enemies might be extremely difficult to deal with, at least there was a definite target.

And now, how can they stop the expansion of this dark void?

Roche hooked his fingers slightly and snapped them lightly, and immediately the New Caliban under his feet responded to his will, even faster than the crew members controlling it personally.

Energy coiled around his fingertips, and the Angel's Tear and Sky Eagle on the other side also began to accumulate energy.

The bows of the three Thundercloud-class planetary battleships lit up with star-like light, and under the control of one will, they were concentrated at a singularity and then released in a superimposed manner.

Energy beams continuously gathered together from above the celestial battleship, transforming into extinction rays powerful enough to destroy an entire planet.

However, such a powerful warship attack quickly weakened and dissipated like a drop in the ocean when it entered the dark void. All that could be seen was the dark waves rolling again and again, but nothing happened.

However, their attack did not seem completely ineffective, as the shape of a ship appeared in the unknown area. As the scanning array exerted its power, the ship's appearance changed from a vague ghost ship to a more concrete existence.

"Tell me its identity, the marking code of the battleship's keel, any transponder that can transmit signals?" Ryan's voice began to speed up and become more excited.

+It is impossible to identify the other party's information, it does not have any useful characteristics. +
The New Caliban's intelligent computer was rarely able to come up with an answer. After a quick scan of its database, it did not find any corresponding existence.

As more and more people observed, the ghost ship that seemed to have sailed out of the fog became more solid, and even had some characteristics of a warship that only the human empire had.

+Identification result: More than 95% probability of being a Glorious Queen-class battleship. +
Upon hearing this result, both Ryan and Roche felt a little relieved. Although these glorious warships still meant a lot to the human empire, they were no longer humanity's strongest weapon of war.

The Thundercloud-class planetary battleships have replaced their ecological niches, and in the future, there will be more waves that will beat the former to death on the beach.

"That's a Glorious Queen-class battleship, but why is it bigger than the Glorious Queen?"

In the Empire's fleet, the Indomitable Truth, the Red Tears, and the Hrafinkel are all Queen of Glory-class battleships, but they are obviously much smaller than their counterparts in the Dark Void.

"Judging from the stern components and the plating of the hull, it should be the Spirit of Vengeance. But hasn't the Spirit of Vengeance been driven to a planet on the edge of the galaxy by us?"

Roche threw the question back to Lionel Johnson, who said with absolute certainty that he had commanded the fleet to force Horus's fleet into the Outer Rim, including the Vengeful Spirit, the Endurance and the Emperor's Pride.

The battleship suspected to be the Spirit of Vengeance showed no signs of movement, its engine was turned off, and the Void Shield defense system that should have been raised did not show any signs of existence. It did not even preheat its weapon array.

Even a Glorious Queen that was still under repair and reconstruction at a Martian dock was more lively than this ship. It looked completely dead.

Just when Luo Xi was about to launch another star-destroying cannon attack, the second Queen of Glory-class battleship appeared beside the opponent, just as lifeless and motionless.

Luo Xi hesitated because the detector showed that it was still the Spirit of Vengeance.

What the hell does that mean? Two Vengeful Spirits?

After the second ship came the fourth, and then the eighth. The other side seemed to appear in an exponential increase. There was no sign of stopping this surge in numbers. Thousands of scarlet spots appeared in just a few seconds.

Luo Xi swallowed his saliva immediately, and he seemed to hear Ryan Johnson react in the same way.

The same was true for Jagatai Khan and Sanguinius on the other two celestial battleships. They didn't understand what Horus had done and why so many Vengeful Spirits appeared.

These warships looked non-threatening because they were not arranged in any formation at all, and even the warships themselves were in a completely disordered and messy state.

There is no such concept as up, down, left or right in the universe. It is only due to the influence of the gravity of the galaxy that everyone assumes the ecliptic plane to be the conventional direction, and they also maintain the same direction and angle when reorganizing the fleet.

But these vengeful spirits are different. They are piled up in a mess, like the toys that human babies throw away when they get tired of them.

But even so, it cannot hide one fact—they are all spirits of revenge.

The Spirits of Vengeance were multiplying like a virus. According to the battleship's scanning array, their number had exceeded the terrifying figure of six thousand.
