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

Chapter 693 Primaris Astartes (Three in One) Ask for monthly ticket
Since the Space Marines who came to the X-Men universe with Roche on the Red Alert gradually awakened, Roche also began to rebuild the Astartes Legion.

Due to the power limitations of the Emperor's Compass, Roche had only brought along ten of his most outstanding Astartes and four hundred and ninety battle-hardened veterans, forming a miniature battle group of five hundred men.

In the Astartes Legion during the Great Crusade, each company or chapter had a thousand Astartes. The five hundred people brought by Roche were at best a seed.

Roche needs to use these 500 people as the skeleton, and combine them with the gene seeds brought with them, as well as the pure genetic material extracted from the original mother, to rebuild the Astartes Legion that can play a decisive role.

However, Luo Xi did not intend to form a new legion according to the original model, where each legion was distinguished by gene seeds and operated independently.

From Macragge to Terra, he had gathered a mixed legion centered around the surviving veterans of Isstvan V.

The three crippled Legion warriors, Iron Hands, Raven Guard, and Salamanders, worked together to unleash incredible power.

The power generated by this kind of cooperation even exceeds the limits of each legion fighting alone.

At that time, Luo Xi began to explore the benefits of this mixed model.

Compared with the original highly single independent legions, the mixed Astartes can adapt to more emergencies, make up for their own shortcomings, and perform better.

The mixing of Astartes is the general trend, so Luo Xi naturally has to keep trying and find new breakthroughs.

Secondly, Luo Xi had already anticipated what the results would be if each legion continued to operate independently.

By then, I'm afraid that more than half of the Astartes will be using the gene-seed of the Ultramarines.

How could a legion like the Space Wolves, which had difficulty recruiting, possibly compete with the Ultramarines, for whom producing troops was as easy as drinking water?

In order to provide enough fresh blood for the rebuilding Astartes Legion, Roche has been selecting young people of appropriate age through the Earth United Government.

Most of them are orphans who lost their parents for various reasons, and some are offspring offered by families who believe in the Emperor.

Although Luo Xi does not like faith, it is undeniable that faith can indeed reduce a lot of trouble in many cases.

When the staff of the United Government announced that they were selecting warriors strong enough for the Emperor.

These humans, who had just converted their beliefs, willingly offered up their offspring.

For these "new bloods", Luo Xi can only ask the executors of the Astartes transformation surgery to reduce mistakes as much as possible.

Even if the reconstruction surgery fails, at least their lives can be saved.

However, compared with the mortality rate caused by the failure of the transformation surgery, the special selection process of each legion is truly dangerous and deadly.

In the past, when each legion recruited new blood, they would usually conduct various trial rituals before undergoing transformation surgery.

For example, the Space Wolves Legion will require new recruits to undergo the "Mokai Trial", in which they will strip the candidates naked and throw them into the ice and snow of Fenris to hunt wild beasts.

The Blood Angels will also require new recruits to fight each other and retrace the deadly desert walk that Sanguinius once made.

These extremely difficult selection modes will undoubtedly result in extremely terrifying death rates.

Many times, those carefully selected candidates may be wiped out and die heroically before even reaching the operating table.

In comparison, Luo Xi appreciates the selection method of the Extreme Warriors more.

The Ultramarines will arrange all candidates to study in the War College, instead of using harsh conditions to screen out the best people.

Participating in the recruitment of the Ultramarines in the Five Hundred Worlds is often more like an exam.

The successful ones will enter the next stage, while the unfortunate losers can survive and even be incorporated into the Ultramar Auxiliary Army or even join the Legion as servants according to their personal wishes and continue to serve the Primarch.

Those semi-transformed losers also possess powers beyond those of mortals, and have almost become the backbone of the Ultramar auxiliary army.

Luo Xi didn't want to waste the lives of those thirteen or fourteen-year-old teenagers, so he simply required all legions to conduct selection like the Extreme Marines.

Under the suppression of Luo Xi's prestige, although many legion soldiers felt dissatisfied, they still obeyed Luo Xi's will.

But later Luo Xi heard that his best friend Hill suddenly faced a large number of challengers.

Especially the reckless man Faffnir, who took Logan to see what a Space Wolf is.

They all hope to experience in the gladiatorial cage what the excellence of the Extreme Warriors is.

Luo Xi led others into the laboratory.

What appeared in front of Luo Xi at this moment was a new Astartes blood implanted with the White Scar gene seed. He had completed the 19 genetic modification operations that were originally required.

Originally, a new blood like him who had completed the black shell implantation was fully qualified to obtain his own power armor and become an arrogant and unruly Chogoris warrior.

However, after Roche analyzed the technology contained in the Moravec Cube and now completed the mutant X gene modification technology, the Space Marines who completed 19 transformation operations can only be considered semi-finished products.

He lay on the cold operating table, his bright and sharp eyes staring fearlessly at the shadowless lamp extending from the robotic arm and the sharp scalpels rotating at high speed.

The knife light flashed in his dark pupils, but did not cause the slightest ripple.

This White Scar was like a corpse, lying quietly on the operating table, waiting to undergo the Primaris upgrade surgery.

Beside him, Qin Xin, the leader of the White Scars, was accompanying the new recruit he had personally selected.

I recall the time when the White Scars led by Guntula were lost in the warp storm.

He was the youngest and most inexperienced recruit in the entire fleet, and all the veterans took care of him spontaneously, which allowed Qin Xin to survive.

Otherwise, with his survival ability as a new recruit, it would be almost impossible for him to survive that doomsday-like horrific disaster.

Later, with the lighting of the Sosa Lighthouse, all the imperial warships lost in the storm of destruction gathered in Macragge, and Qin Xin began to grow step by step.

Now, he has been chosen by the Khan himself to follow Roshi and carry forward the White Scars Legion.

At this moment, he looked at his juniors who were undergoing new transformation surgery, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions in his heart.

He became Guntula, and the boy lying there became his original self.

The old are replaced by the new, and talented people emerge in every generation.

Only by constantly absorbing fresh blood can the legion prosper.

The entire operating room was thoroughly sterilized, even Qin Xin's body was disinfected.

His nose could clearly smell the peculiar smell of disinfectant mixed with sedative, which made him feel inexplicably at ease.

Belisarius Cawl and several experienced stone men were responsible for performing this Primaris operation.

They have used the powerful computing power of the main control computer to conduct thousands of simulation exercises to ensure that the success rate of the operation is above 99%.

"This operation is to upgrade the Astartes Primaris, who have already completed 19 transformation operations.

Originally, during the transformation process of the new generation of Primaris Astartes, the new transformation projects would be directly placed between Sequences 3 and 4 to minimize risks."

"However, considering that we already have a large number of first-generation Astartes that have been transformed, we are conducting this Primaris upgrade experiment."

"The data extracted from the Moravec Cube, combined with our research on the Primordial Matrix, has yielded three additional enhanced organs: the Tendon Coil, the Hymn Pituitary, and what I personally call the Belisarius Furnace."

Kaul spoke coldly, not affected at all by the onlookers around him.

Extremely focused, extremely meticulous, and extremely familiar with it.

The operating table under the descendant of Chagatai Khan had special groove patterns that were as delicate as a work of art.

As Kaul used his surgical tools to cut open the opponent's superhuman body, blood began to flow out and quickly drained out along these grooves.

At the same time, the medical equipment inserted into the body through the needle began to work.

A large number of medical nanorobots carried nutrients and drugs that could suppress the body's self-healing ability into the body of the White Scar.

The skin that Call had cut stopped bleeding and also stopped healing and scarring.

It wasn't just the skin; Kaul's scalpel cut open the patient from head to heel.

This cruel scene, like a vivisection, failed to stir up any waves in the hearts of those present.

Everyone here is an extremely ruthless person who experienced the Horus Heresy. They have probably seen more life and death than an ordinary person will see in their entire life.

In war, they knew full well what would happen to their fighting brothers if they fell into the hands of the rebels.

And they all knew that once the White Scar warrior on Cawl's operating table completed his Primaris transformation, it would be their turn next.

The skull of the White Scar warrior was opened, and the mechanical arm took over the removed skull. Through the illumination of the shadowless lamp, one could see the white brain tissue slowly wriggling and shrinking.

Kohl's stone assistant quickly used his own tools to implant an organ called the "Holy Pituitary Gland" created using biotechnology into the back of the opponent's brain.

"It is a product of the same glands within the brain that mimic the Primarchs, and we have copied the Emperor's design.

This leaf-shaped implant, which is only the size of a thumbnail, can continuously secrete hormones to amplify all existing organs, especially strengthening bones and muscles.

"Under the influence of the Holy Hymn Pituitary, each Primaris Space Marine will experience a period of rapid growth, and their muscle tissue and bones will begin to develop again."

Luo Xi said on the side that since he obtained the original mother copy, he started the Space Marine strengthening plan on Ganymede with Cawl, Rand and others.

Only now, after they arrived in the other universe, did this plan officially begin to produce results.

Luo Xi didn't know whether Rand and others in the Warhammer universe had also developed something similar.

However, he still prefers that the progress in the Warhammer universe is much slower, as there are not so many mutants there to provide experimental materials.

"Your Emperor does possess incredible biogenetic technology, capable of creating monstrous life forms like the Primarchs."

Trazyn said from the side, his tone full of bitterness.

Letting a Necron who has lost his physical body watch these things is like letting a eunuch go to a brothel.

There are also many Necromancer technicians within the Necrons who try to restore their race to its former flesh and blood, but unfortunately there has been no substantial breakthrough.

When Trazyn first met Roshi, it was because this human had the potential to completely change the fate of their race.

After the White Scars implanted the Sanhedrin into the pituitary gland, Cawl quickly shifted his target to his chest.

Astarte's iconic plate-like ribs were cut quickly, and these solid bones even made a loud noise when cut by the rotating scalpel.

Through the wide-open chest, one can see two hearts beating steadily. The steady thumping sound symbolizes the powerful vitality of this superhuman warrior.

The stone man assistant separated the two hearts and found the position towards the back of the middle.

He installed an organ temporarily named "Belisarius Furnace", which is connected to the two hearts and can eject large amounts of chemicals when the mother is severely injured or extremely stressed.

This organ can promote rapid regeneration of the mother and maintain an extremely high-intensity combat state.

Once these two dangerous organ implants are completed, the normal operation is actually half completed, and the risk of the remaining operation is relatively much smaller.

Astartes' muscles and skin were separated, making him look as cruel as if he had been skinned alive. The muscles exposed to the air were even twitching instinctively.

You should know that in order to ensure the effect, normal surgery does not use any anesthetic drugs, which means that the young White Scar warrior was in a completely awake state during the operation.

Only the Astartes, the superhuman warriors created by the Emperor, can withstand such torturous transformation surgery.

Wolverine, watching from the sidelines, was also somewhat stunned. If it were his old self, despite his ability to heal, he would probably have found it difficult to endure such a perverted and torturous surgery. If these surgeries were a natural progression for the new generation of Primaris Space Marines, then for those already in the fold, it was a phoenix-like rebirth.

Kaul implanted a tendon coil into the muscle, forming an insulating layer inside and outside the muscle fibers. It was like a power-enhancing garment with all-round coverage and was completely integrated with the muscles.

The strength of an Astartes equipped with tendon coils will undergo a qualitative leap compared to the past.

Even if he only relied on the strength brought by his flesh and blood, he was able to use his fists to penetrate the armored tanks of the mortal auxiliary army.

Even Luo Xi held his breath. The three operations were completed, and the last, most special operation was about to begin.

Implant the X gene into Astartes' superhuman body.

This operation was not recorded in the Moravec Cube or the original matrix. It was entirely created by Roche based on the special conditions of the first world he arrived in.

This operation will allow Astartes to truly embark on the path of transcendence and possess all kinds of incredible powers.

Kaul held in his own hands an organ with a metallic texture that looked like it was wriggling.

It is only the size of a mortal's fist, but it contains special abilities that far exceed other modified organs.

"I combined Darwin's 'survival of the fittest' ability, Mystique's 'genetic simulation' ability, and the power of my authority to create this modified organ."

Luo Xi's tone was full of pride and pride.

The 19 transformation operations of the Astartes were the result of the Emperor's conception and the joint efforts of countless genetic biologists.

The Hymn Pituitary, the Tendon Coil, and the Belisarius Furnace all came from Moravec's ancient ideas and the hidden technology within the original matrix.

Only the 23rd transformation operation was entirely their creation. It was made into reality by Roche, Cawl, and countless hard-working Stoneman researchers based on the materials of the X-Men universe.

"I call it... the Infinity Engine."

"The X-Gene holds infinite possibilities. It will power the Infinity Engine, propelling the Astartes onto the path of transcendence."

Trazyn, who was standing by, had already taken out his holographic camera made of Necron technology and filmed this shocking scene.

In fact, he had been itching to do so for a long time. If Roxie had not been there to stop him, he would have probably collected the White Scar warrior, along with Cawl and the first Infinity Engine, and displayed them in his own Prism Gallery.

Trazyn collects more than just concrete objects; in fact, he is more interested in collecting a living history.

He would collect all the participants in this period of history and, with a static stance, keep them forever at that moment in history.

With great solemnity, Cawl placed the Infinity Engine into the White Scars' chest, right between their two pounding hearts.

Roche created the Infinity Engine to help the Astartes be compatible with various X-Genes.

Mutants like Wolverine and Logan can be transformed into Space Marines through Astartes transformation surgery.

But this does not mean that Astartes can inject X genes at will and become mutants.

As weapons of war forged by the Emperor, the genes of the Astartes are usually very stable.

Most of the others are acceptable, except for the Blood Angels' bloodthirst, the Space Wolves' lycanthropy, and the Thousand Sons' flesh and blood mutations.

This is a tower built on human genes, with each ring linked together. If the X gene is injected into it, it means shaking the foundation of the tower.

Not to mention Luo Xi, even if the emperor himself came, he could not accomplish such a hellish transformation.

The Infinity Engine is a "converter" designed by Roche, a bridge connecting the Astartes and the X-Gene.

As Roche observed, mutants use the X-gene to leverage the power of the warp.

The Astartes only needed to be able to utilize the X gene, and there was no need to fully integrate it into their own gene sequence.

Once certain X genes are selected, they only need to be "inserted" into the Infinity Engine, and the power of the Infinity Engine can be used to mobilize and activate the X genes.

If we use a more understandable example to describe it, it is probably like equipping Astarte with an adapter.

The X-Gene is an external mobile hard drive. You only need to plug the hard drive into the adapter to use it normally.

Even in Roche's conception, Astartes can autonomously switch X genes according to the needs of the actual situation and choose the appropriate ability to deal with the enemy.

To the Astartes, the Infinity Engine was more like a living piece of equipment, to be used freely according to their needs.

"If the Astartes' endurance and willpower are strong enough, they can even access multiple X-genes simultaneously, allowing them to use different mutant abilities simultaneously."

Trazyn listened carefully, and he had to admit that if these new generation of Primaris Space Marines were to face the war weapons of their Necron Dynasty, they would probably be extremely uncomfortable.

The Necrons have indeed reached a physical ceiling, but their psychic abilities are undoubtedly a weak point.

With the completion of the Infinity Engine implantation, the Primaris upgrade operation was perfectly completed.

Medicines controlled by medical nanorobots began to be injected in large quantities, while the medicines that originally inhibited the body's self-repair were quickly metabolized and excreted from the body.

Those tiny medical nanorobots quickly pulled the cut skin and muscles together again, continuously strengthening and consolidating them, guiding the cells to heal themselves.

At a speed almost visible to the naked eye, the soldier with white scars lying on the operating table had recovered from his original bloody and unbearable state.

Of course, he still needs some time to let his body's bones and muscles develop again.

During this period, he needs to consume a large amount of metal substances and huge amounts of nutrients to ensure the perfect growth of his body.

According to estimates, an Astartes who has completed the Primaris transformation surgery will be more than 2.7 meters tall when not wearing armor, and after wearing power armor, it will easily exceed 3 meters.

You have to know that before the birth of the Primaris Space Marines, among the people Roche knew, only Polux of the Imperial Fists, Endred Hal of the War Hounds, and Fratus Auguston of the Ultramarines had such a majestic physique.

They are taller, bigger, stronger, more resilient and have greater endurance than their predecessors.

"Get up, boy."

"Show everyone your new abilities."

Qin Xin patted the recruit's bald head and instantly woke him up from the operating table.

The recruit named Beihai stood up quickly, and the servo robot beside him put on the Star-type power armor for him. In just a few breaths, the armor was put on.

The power armor that originally fit him well now seemed a bit restrictive to Beihai, but it was not so small that it could not fit him.

He only felt that his body was surging with strength far greater than before, and the chemical hormones from the pituitary gland were constantly strengthening his body organs.

Then, he began to sink his consciousness into his body, touching the newly implanted "Infinity Engine" organ.

Under the resonance of consciousness, the metallic surface of the Infinity Engine began to emit a special color similar to a faint blue radiation.

Everyone seemed to hear a roaring voice. It was the roar of the engine containing the power of evolution, announcing its arrival.

Beihai had never experienced this feeling before. He felt that the subspace was in front of him, constantly calling him.

It seems that as long as you stretch out your hand, you can touch the invisible waves of the sea of ​​the soul.

No one told him what to do, but he just did it, as if it was all instinctive and easy.

The Infinity Engine activated the X gene that was injected into it, which was a mutant gene from the ancient demonic mutant, the Red Devil Azazel.

The next moment, Beihai used the Red Devil's signature space jumping ability.

His figure disappeared from the spot in an instant and jumped to a corner more than ten meters away from the operating table.

Luo Xi saw it clearly, and the countless testing instruments in the laboratory also observed it very carefully.

There was no sign of movement in Beihai's body and muscles, but his spatial coordinates were modified. The power of the subspace responded to his will and distorted the physical laws here.

Luo Xi was very sure that Beihai was not a psychic. He had no psychic talent and was just an ordinary mortal Muggle.

But now, a man without any psychic talent had accomplished something that only a few psychics could do.

The smile on Luo Xi's face could no longer be concealed. He couldn't help but applaud, and the other Space Marines around him also became excited.

The two Space Wolves, Faffnir and Logan, howled wildly. Their loud howls penetrated the soundproof wall and even echoed in the huge space.

Hill smiled sincerely, feeling genuinely happy for his cousin.

The White Scars were only the first, and they would soon follow, crossing the Rubicon's boundaries.

"We have indeed found a power beyond the universe."

Coswayn stood silently at the back of the crowd. He possessed the usual tenacity and restraint of a lion's son, and was used to hiding his joy under calmness.

Sevatar laughed out loud, and the blood in his body began to heat and boil.

A powerful warrior who was able to fight the Black Knight Sigismund for a whole day and night. Although he was not one of the three heroes of the Great Crusade, he had an outstanding record and martial arts level that surpassed the three heroes.

He was very happy and excited that he finally had an opponent he could look forward to.

Sigismund stubbornly stayed in the Warhammer universe to be his Templar champion, while he chose to travel to other universes to find the power to save the Father of Genes.

Sevatar is absolutely convinced that he is right, and that only by looking outside can he find a way to salvation.

If that old man Sigismund stayed in the Warhammer universe, he would only be able to stay stuck in his old ways and make no progress.

He now wished that all his battle-brothers would complete the Primaris upgrade and the Infinity Engine implant so that they could have a good fight with him.

Sevatar is a true master of both magic and martial arts. Whether in combat skills or psychic power, there are only a handful of people who can defeat him.

Sigismund, who was stronger in martial arts than him, had no psychic powers, and Janus, who was stronger in psychic powers than him, was not as good as him in fighting.

If one combines these two abilities, it can be said that no Astartes can surpass this Prince of Crows.

"Go on, let me see where your limit is. Use your ability until you are exhausted." Qin Xin said calmly, forcing Beihai, who had just completed the Primaris upgrade, to continue using his supernatural powers.

Under the command of Qin Xinnayan Khan, the White Scar recruit named Beihai spared no effort to activate the Infinite Engine and use the Red Devil's space jumping ability.

He was like a ghost, jumping around in the huge laboratory, so that multiple afterimages were intertwined with each other, making it difficult to tell which one was real and which one was fake.

Beihai couldn't suppress a wild laugh on his face. He loved this special power.

The blood of Chagatai Khan flowing in his body gave him a natural and fanatical desire for extreme speed. What speed could be faster than space jumping?

"See how far you can jump, try your best." Qin Xin shouted.

The next moment, Beihai, who had completed dozens of jumps, tried his best to pry the power of the subspace and sent himself about a hundred meters ahead.

His mental strength was depleted quickly, but his iron will still held on tightly, not allowing any weakness to erode his willpower.

Although Beihai's space jumping ability is far inferior to that of the Red Devil in terms of distance, this guy can still jump 50 kilometers.

However, the advantage of the White Scar Warrior is that the cooldown rate is extremely short, and it can jump and move almost continuously.

No one would want to face such an enemy, which means danger will come from all directions, and the enemy will never know where the White Scars' power Guandao will fall.

The success of the White Scars of the North Sea is just the beginning. After him, other first-generation Astartes will follow suit and become the new Primaris Space Marines.

(End of this chapter)
