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

Chapter 669: First Meeting with Professor X (Three in One)

Luo Xi gently rubbed the bridge of his nose to make sense of the current situation.

He searched hard in the ocean of his memory and finally found the general plot of the "X-Men" series.

"In the story background of the X-Men series, there are some special beings called "mutants" on Earth. Their power comes from the mutation of the X gene, and they have mastered many incredible supernatural powers."

"Control energy, self-healing of the body, mind control, teleportation, self-evolution..."

Although Luo Xi was shocked, he quickly accepted the reality.

Although these seem outrageous, compared with the monsters he has seen in the Warhammer universe, they are still within his understanding.

“To be honest, psykers are also able to do the things mentioned. The Thousand Sons Legion used to have five major schools: the Sky Owl School focused on telepathy and mind control; the Black Crow School was good at predicting the future and reading prophecies first;

The Bright Feather School pursues free control of the body; the Fire Phoenix School advocates the control of flame energy; the Raptor School mainly focuses on telekinesis. They can extract huge kinetic energy from the subspace to tear the enemy's flesh or defend themselves. "

"But it is said that they also have a sixth school: the Star Falcon School, which can summon and control demons. However, because it is too heretical, it was wiped out by their Primarch Magnus, and its members were also expelled from the Legion."

Luo Xi's mind gradually recalled the special abilities that those mutants possessed, and his heart couldn't help but become extremely excited.

"Let's not talk about why there is an [X-Men Universe] for now. Now that the existence of the multiverse has been proven, as long as the number is large enough, there must be a world similar to what I remember."

"But it's also possible that information from the [X-Men Universe] somehow made its way to my [Warhammer Universe] and became the so-called inspiration that was known to the original director and author."

"It is also possible that the [X-Men series] filmed in our universe was captured and enhanced by the subspace, and thus a whole new universe was derived from it."

The subspace itself is an ocean of emotions and souls of countless intelligent beings, and film is undoubtedly an art form that can effectively mobilize human emotions.

It is not particularly strange that a universe is formed based on that special emotion.

The High Heaven hides too many secrets. Even Roche and the Emperor only know a tiny fraction of them.

"The source of mutant power may be related to the subspace in some way, but there is another very important factor - the X gene."

"Only humans who carry the X gene can awaken and become mutants. Of course, there are also people who carry the X gene for their entire lives and never fully awaken."

"If I can collect enough samples and study this so-called X gene, it may be possible to add it to the [Space Marine Enhancement Plan] we have been working on."

Luo Xi's voice suddenly became louder, and his face was full of excitement and enthusiasm.

He seemed to have finally found the missing piece of the puzzle.

The origin of the Space Marine enhancement plan came from the [Moravec Cube] obtained from the Dark Angels' secret vault.

By analyzing it, Roche obtained the mind control tower and thought stamp technology, and then obtained the sketch concept of the Space Marine Completion.

It can be seen that after the success of this plan, the Space Marines will become larger, stronger, have more stable gene seeds, and significantly improved vitality and endurance.

To use the language of the green orcs, the new Astartes will be even more waaaagh!!
But is that enough?
If Roche had not seen these mutants with various strange abilities, he would probably have felt that his completion of the Space Marines would have ended there and would have been enough.

The rest can be made up by improving and perfecting the power armor.

The existence of the psychic think tank can make up for the Astartes' lack of large-scale killing methods and the ability to target warp demons.

Luo Xi always felt that the Space Marines often seemed too powerless when facing the increasingly intense space wars.

Their means of attack were too simple, consisting of only long-range weapons such as bolters and close-range weapons such as power swords.

Although the existence of psychic think tanks makes up for their shortcomings in attack forms, the number of think tanks is still too small.

A well-trained and qualified think tank needs a long time to practice, restrain oneself with strict discipline, and sharpen one's mind to prevent the warp energy from running out of control.

Except for the Thousand Sons Legion, which has a full-staff think tank, the think tanks of other legions can only account for a small number.

What if he could implant the X-Gene into the Space Marines?
Even if it cannot be implanted into the genetic sequence of the Astartes, perhaps it can be transformed into a biological suit and matched with the functional components of the power armor.

Since power armor can be equipped with biological colonization suits, can the iron man he created switch forms freely like the so-called sentinel robot?
The more Luo Xi thought about it, the more excited he became, but he still used his excellent psychological quality to suppress his excitement.

The more critical the moment, the more you need to keep calm.

The timing of his arrival is very delicate. There are frequent frictions between the two poles of the world today, but the missile crisis has not really come yet.

Although the two superpowers seem to be extremely tough and neither wants to lose the battle first, they are actually afraid that the other side will really do something stupid.

But even in such a tense situation, there is still a group of ambitious mutants who are constantly provoking and creating crises.

"【Black King】Sebastian Shaw."

Luo Xi uttered the name.

From his point of view, although this mutant leader is quite good in terms of combat ability, his brain is simply a piece of shit.

During World War II, he used the pseudonym of a scientist named Klaus Schmidt.

And in order to force the young Magneto Eric Lansherr to demonstrate his ability to manipulate metal, he shot and killed his mother in front of him.

In order to make the more outstanding mutants in his mind become the masters of the world, he constantly instigates the Lighthouse and the Alliance, trying to bring about a nuclear war, thereby severely damaging and weakening the control of ordinary people over the world.

This reason is ridiculous.

First of all, in terms of the number of mutants themselves, at this point in time mutants are still absolutely rare. Even many people around the world don’t know that there are some freaks in the world with genetic mutations that can release superpowers.

Even if a nuclear war killed 99% of the world's population and human society collapsed, what would mutants use to rule the world?
Can these few mutants restore the industrial system, social operation system, financial system, and scientific system originally established by billions of people?
Once the human population drops to a critical point, a terrible technological regression will occur. Humans will no longer be able to supply the talent needed for every branch of discipline, and will regress all the way to primitive society.

"Most mutants don't know how to use their powers. They just treat their powers as gifts from God, and then squander and abuse them wantonly."

"The only difference between them and wild animals is that they can speak human language and communicate normally with other people."

If humans want to maintain civilization, they must have a sufficient population base. The population size and harsh environment after a nuclear war simply cannot support the survival of a healthy civilization.

The biggest possibility is that after most ordinary people died, some of the remaining ones would survive in the ruins full of nuclear radiation like cockroaches, looking for food.

Then ambitious people like Sebastian Shaw can finally stand out openly in such a wasteland world and build their ambitious empire.

No, even if the Empire were to honor them, in Luo Xi's opinion, they were at most a slave tribe, or a larger-scale mafia organization that built their sense of pride on the suffering of all mankind.

During the Terra Unification War, every technological warlord killed and razed by the Emperor was the form of Sebastian Shaw's dreams. Of course, any one of them picked at random is far superior to the Black King.

For such people...

Only kill!

Compared to the Emperor, Roche is a conservative, but he also cannot tolerate such a stupid and ambitious person who wants to commit such a heinous crime against humanity.

Luo Xi finally came to this universe, and with almost incredible luck he found such an Earth rich in mutant genes.

Just the mutants that Roche remembered, such as Magneto, Professor X, Wolverine and Vision, the scientific research value contained in their mutant genes was enough to launch an apocalyptic-level war.

If the Mechanicus knew the situation here, they would unite and launch an expedition without hesitation.

It is such a waste to let these mutants constantly fight and kill each other for living space on a small planet.

"But we can't really blame them. Mutants aren't a stable genetic trait, and everyone's awakened mutant abilities vary greatly. Many of them are even a curse rather than a talent for them."

"There are very few mutants who can find the right path and develop their potential."

"If Magneto had studied, he wouldn't just be working on a pile of scrap metal.

His performance is completely like Magneto, not Magneto. Electromagnetism is one of the four fundamental forces in the universe, and the effect it exerts on him is simply unbearable to watch. "

After realizing what kind of treasure he had found, Luo Xi's heart was already hungry and thirsty.

In his eyes, neither Magneto nor Professor X should waste their time on their terrible opposing ideas.

The earth is a hen that will continuously lay golden eggs. As long as society continues to operate normally, humans with X genes will be able to reproduce more and more offspring with different mutant abilities.

The expression of genes is infinite, and perhaps some of them have incredible power.

Luo Xi loves the feeling of opening a blind box. He feels that this universe is the best solution found by the Emperor for him, allowing him, a wanderer who escaped from the Warhammer universe, to replenish and recover.

"The war base on Mars is under construction, and the Red Alert can continuously produce industrial iron men and stone men with scientific research capabilities.

It only takes a while for me to establish a fleet and army capable of carrying out expeditions."

This is the terrifying thing about the Iron Man Legion. As long as sufficient materials and energy are provided, the size and reinforcement of the Iron Man Legion are just a matter of numbers.

If they are allowed to proliferate, the exponentially expanding Iron Men will become a true scourge of death, spreading across the entire galaxy.

"It's just that there was a problem with the awakening of Sharokin and the others. I have already lifted the deep state of suspended animation on them according to the procedures. However, although their bodies have been thawed, their consciousness is still dormant."

"It's very strange, but the only thing I can be sure of is that they don't have a more serious reaction. Maybe it's just that their souls need time to adapt."

Luo Xi and his subordinates are all travelers from other universes, and no one knows what will happen exactly.

He could only let Sharokin and the other Astartes continue to thaw. Perhaps at some point in time, they would adapt and wake up.

Sharokin and his men are all experienced warriors, but their souls are indeed not as strong as Roshi's. Perhaps the universe is rejecting outsiders like them and preventing them from waking up.

Luo Xi believed that they could wake up. Each of these Astartes was a living legend. How could they just fall here like this?

There are many things going on in Roche's mind: the construction of the Mars base, the construction plan of the shipyard in the asteroid belt, the awakening mission of Astartes such as Sharokin, and so on.

But he has one thing to prioritize now.

"Maybe I should get in touch with Professor X and Magneto first."

"What I remember are just some movie plots that last only a few hours, and only a fool would think that they are exactly the same after they become reality."

Luo Xi's lonely figure disappeared in the desolate desert, leaving only a footprint that was gradually buried by the wind and sand.

……

After realizing that the world is far from as simple as it seems, Luo Xi still keeps a low profile and travels around North America.

He even picked up an ordinary convertible from the side of the road and awakened its spirit.

There are no such things as "Machine Souls" on Earth; they are a phenomenon that arose during the Dark Age of Technology, when humans combined the Warp with their own technology. In the Warhammer universe, even a small laser rifle possesses its own Machine Soul.

Roxi didn't want to use his teleportation ability to move around. Since he woke up, until the moment of the decisive battle between the Emperor and Horus, he was almost in a tense state like a machine, not daring to waste a minute or a second.

He was so exhausted, and now he finally arrived at an Earth in the twentieth century.

There are no damn Horus rebels, no ubiquitous Warp demons, and no Warp evil gods lurking in the Sea of ​​Souls.

Luo Xi drove the revived car on the preliminary hardened road and headed straight for New York State in the northeast.

The machine's soul is expressing its reverence and love for its inspirer, allowing it to reach speeds far beyond its design limits.

The cool breeze blew into the cab, and Luo Xi felt refreshed for the first time in a long time.

"This universe, this earth... is truly so beautiful."

"There is no galactic war. The biggest problem is that two countries threaten each other with nuclear bombs and engage in a cold war."

"I wish Neos could see what this place looks like too. This might be the time he's always longing for and reminiscing about."

By hacking into the government's computer network, Roche found the location of Professor Charles.

In the northeast corner of Westchester County, New York, stands a solemn and elegant ancient Scottish-style castle.

The vast tracts of land centered around the castle are all properties owned by Professor Xavier.

A low wall surrounds a large piece of land, which is covered by dense green plants. Everything looks so natural and harmonious.

"Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters."

"This is it."

A convertible stopped at the gate of the castle manor. Luo Xi got out of the car in a dashing manner. On the ancient stone wall in front of him, there was a brand new bronze doorplate hanging.

The liquid metal on Roshi's body has transformed into a set of casual clothes. He wears a light gray hat on his forehead to block the sun's exposure.

"When I arrived, Charles Xavier had just invested in and founded this school for mutants, and he directly converted the castle and manor he inherited into the school's venue."

"The future famous X Academy is still in its infancy."

There was no obstruction at the entrance of the college. After Luo Xi rang the doorbell on the wall, he walked straight into the depths of the college.

He extended his perception, as if he had spread out his tentacles invisibly, observing the situation here.

In his perception, a huge and vague spiritual force was lurking in a room.

According to Luo Xi's judgment, Professor Charles's control over his own power is still at a very basic level.

If we must give an example for comparison, the combat power he unleashes may not exceed that of a mature Space Marine think tank.

Of course, when it comes to other abilities related to telepathy, this professor is still more powerful.

If it was the bald Professor X who was already in a wheelchair in Roche's impression, I'm afraid even Roche would have to take his threat seriously.

Although the level of civilization in this world is still extremely backward, the endless stream of mutants have a lethality that clearly exceeds the planetary level.

The wide stone road is lined with low shrubs and tall trees, and further away is a well-manicured green lawn.

Some parasitic plants climb in the cracks of the castle's wall bricks, making the manor look more historical.

Some construction workers were busy in every corner of the manor. They built complete school buildings and some teaching and entertainment venues for students.

Luo Xi watched these scenes with great interest, looking at the busy workers and some young students who had already enrolled in school.

These ordinary things are extremely precious to Luo Xi.

peace.

Life here is extremely peaceful. Everyone has hope and vision for the future in their hearts. They really believe that this college will get better and better.

Accustomed to the deep darkness of the Warhammer universe, Roche was a little dazed for a moment.

How wonderful it would be if the humans in the Warhammer universe could also live such a carefree life, without having to worry about whether disaster and destruction would come in the next second.

But for them, this may be a poisonous luxury. Chaos and corruption are everywhere, so when they want to pursue these beautiful things, they often step into the abyss inadvertently.

"Even Guilliman's Macragge wouldn't have such a comfortable environment."

Looking at all this, Luo Xi’s belief became even stronger. He must protect the humans in this universe.

And one day in the future, he will return to his hometown to redeem the human beings there.

The Warp's invasion and corruption of the Warhammer Universe has never ended. Although Horus is dead, there will still be other ambitious people who are willing to become puppets of Chaos and continue to create destruction and killing.

Luo Xi put aside his worries for the time being. He pushed open the door of the ancient castle and walked in with confidence.

"Hello, Professor Charles Xavier."

In front of Luo Xi, a handsome man with a refined temperament raised his head and looked at the visitor with a little doubt.

Even Luo Xi had to admit that the young version of Professor Xavier in front of him was slightly less handsome than him.

Especially the curly hair and melancholy eyes, which are hard to ignore.

"Hello? Are you..."

Charles Xavier's etiquette was impeccable. Beside him was a young and beautiful blonde woman who was pestering Charles.

"Mutant...Mystique Raven." Luo Xi said in his heart.

"My name is Luo Xi." He stretched out his right hand, "I am a curious visitor who hopes to visit this college."

"I've heard about this school, and I'm interested in mutants."

Although Charles didn't understand why this oriental-looking guest was interested in the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters he founded, this did not prevent him from enthusiastically promoting the school to him.

The sharp vision inherited from the Xavier family told Charles that the person in front of him was definitely not an ordinary person.

Observation is a very profound science. People who are good at it can have a basic understanding and judgment of a stranger just by meeting him/her for the first time, thus gaining the upper hand in subsequent interactions and transactions.

In fact, Charles was also worried about how to strengthen school publicity.

In this era, many people are still in a stage of curiosity and fear about mutants. If he wants to change this social perception, it is far from enough to rely on him alone.

As the saying goes, more friends mean more paths, so Charles is naturally happy to make more friends, as maybe some of them can be of help.

As for Luo Xi, Charles instinctively felt that the other party was not simple. Appearance could not explain the problem, but temperament and cultivation were different.

In Luo Xi, Charles felt a strange sense of "supernatural", as if this person didn't care about anything and faced the world with a condescending attitude.

Charles instinctively felt that he was a little ridiculous. The person in front of him was just a somewhat handsome Oriental man. Why did he feel a little lacking in confidence?

This strange feeling made Charles want to use his abilities to see who the person in front of him was.

For Charles, who possesses powerful telepathic abilities, reading the thoughts of a person right in front of him is as instinctive as eating and drinking.

In fact, when he was young, this telepathic ability was indiscriminate, so that for a long time Charles had to hear the voices of everyone around him.

This is not a good thing. Only humans understand how dirty and vulgar the unspoken thoughts in their hearts are, even those with high moral character.

Just looking at Luo Xi's gentle expression, Charles kept his idea to himself.

He instinctively felt that if he read the other person's mind, something bad would happen.

Luo Xi had not expected that Professor Charles in front of him would have such a rich inner drama. He really just wanted to come and interact with Charles and the newly established X Academy first.

In the future, Professor X symbolizes the moderates in the mutant community who are willing to live in peace with ordinary humans.

The X Academy he founded continues to attract young people with similar ideas to join.

Although the power that Roche currently possesses is enough to destroy the entire earth tens of thousands of times, it is not difficult for him to forcibly capture, enslave, and study mutants.

But he did not want to use such a cruel method. The earth was his sacred home in his heart, and Roche did not want to see it engulfed in war again.

And it is undoubtedly a very stupid thing to push mutants completely to the opposite side.

Each of them is so different that maybe an Omega-level mutant will suddenly appear.

On the contrary, due to the awkward position of mutants in human society, as long as Roche shows goodwill to them and gives them some real benefits, they will naturally come closer to him.

This method is undoubtedly more efficient and gentle, and is more in line with Luo Xi's ideas and personality.

Luo Xi does not want to use force and violence for problems that can be solved by other means.

Charles and Rosie's palms touched and shook hands politely.

"Professor, I would like to visit this school for gifted youngsters."

Luo Xi didn't hesitate and directly stated his purpose: "I am very interested in your school philosophy. If possible, perhaps I can make a considerable investment to support the development of the school."

For Luo Xi, so-called money and wealth are meaningless.

He can directly make other substances fuse into gold. This only requires modifying the number of protons in the nucleus, which is not a difficult task.

In the universe, the reserves of so-called precious metals are actually far beyond the imagination of the people on Earth. Unless there are some planets buried with pure gold minerals, they are indeed priceless.

Hearing Luo Xi's words, the smile on Professor Charles' face suddenly became brighter.

Okay, okay, he is a wealthy family, so we must treat him well.

Charles was so happy that he felt like he was lying on the pillow when he was sleepy.
