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

Chapter 709 Host of the Phoenix Force (Three in One)

As Origos drove the dimensional engine battleship built by humans, he headed to another parallel universe.

The radiation range of this great expedition initiated by Roche also skyrocketed.

Along with this, the military and technological power under Luo Xi will expand rapidly again.

Bigger, faster, and more powerful space battleships will replace the old models.

Power armor and war weapons built with more powerful technology will be put into use after research and development is completed.

They will be paired with upgraded Primaris Space Marines, making them even more deadly.

If he wants to break the rule of the gods, it is not enough to rely solely on the current strength. Luo Xi needs a more powerful war legion.

He must always hold the destiny of mankind in his own hands, and this has never changed.

What Roche left behind in this universe is enough to allow the X-Men universe to enter a positive development stage.

As long as there are no major accidents, even if things just develop naturally, mankind will reach a new peak.

The Earth United Government, formed under the pressure of powerful external forces, is consolidating and unifying power at an extremely fast speed.

Some senior officials of the coalition government are dissatisfied with the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads.

Luo Xi's presence always made them feel uneasy.

Whenever they want to use the power in their hands to do something outside the rules, they will think of their predecessors who died quietly.

But after the arrival of the Eternals, those dissatisfaction and unwillingness quickly disappeared.

No one who can become a member of the Earth United Government is stupid.

They realized that what Roche said was true. Humanity was not alone in this universe. There were too many dangerous and extremely powerful enemies waiting for them.

For example, the space battleship that descended over New York. Even if humans tried everything, they couldn't do anything about it.

The absolute generation gap in technology means that weak civilizations will be unable to fight back.

In the past, backward nations could still use swords and spears to fight against spears and artillery, but can the backward races today still use nuclear bombs to threaten enemies capable of space travel?

Sorry, they can't even deliver a nuke to the enemy's warships.

Only then did they realize that the existence of Roxi and mutants actually added several insurance measures to their rule.

Coupled with the cohesive effect of faith in the Emperor, Roche predicts that within the next few decades, humankind will truly become one, indistinguishable from one another.

Luo Xi originally planned to wait until the reorganization of the Space Marine Legion was completed, and then choose one of them to accompany him to the universe where Origos arrived to see the situation.

Although he understood that the current 1661X-Men universe could not do without him for the time being, the apostle legions of the gods were likely to arrive soon.

But it was torture to keep him in one place and say no to universes that held new knowledge and secrets.

Roxie is essentially a human being with an overflowing curiosity and thirst for knowledge. Even though he has only been in the X-Men universe for a short time, he wants to go out and explore other universes.

However, something happened on Earth, forcing him to temporarily change his plans and postpone his trip.

Charles told him a special news: they discovered the first level five mutant, a little girl named Jean Grey.

Luo Xi couldn't sit still after hearing the news.

According to his almost forgotten memories, there are some special mutants who require the highest level of attention.

The most important person among them is Jean Grey.

Jean Grey, a level 5 mutant, has unlimited potential at the Omega level.

Her abilities include but are not limited to telepathy, subatomic level matter manipulation, unlimited absorption, release of energy, annihilation of matter, immortality, and so on.

Any one of these abilities can create a powerful mutant of at least level four.

For example, the Black King Sebastian Shaw can also absorb and release energy.

But the limit of the energy he could control was so great that he couldn't even fully control the amount released by a small nuclear reactor.

Compared with Qin's almost unlimited control, this is a world of difference.

Jean Grey, who possesses all these abilities, is closer to a true God than those so-called gods.

Luo Xi had thought about how to deal with a powerful mutant like Jean a long time ago.

He even believed that even the Emperor in his normal state was likely inferior to Jean Grey's most powerful state in theory.

Neos is a man, not a god.

But the Dark Phoenix Jean Grey is definitely not a human.

If the Emperor truly ascended to deity, becoming the most powerful of the Chaos Gods—the Dark Lord representing the end and death—that would be a different matter.

More importantly, Roxie knows that the source of Jean Grey's true power is not her X gene, but a mysterious power that was born during the Big Bang.

Humans call that power the Phoenix Force.

The Phoenix Force is the embodiment of the life and emotional power of the universe. It is the end and starting point of the spirit of all things. It is a chaotic yet immortal, eternal yet impermanent existence.

Luo Xi had only seen these words used to describe gods on the Chaos Evil God.

Roxie is more inclined to believe that it is the Phoenix who has these abilities, rather than Jean Grey herself.

Just as the Chaos Gods are to their chosen ones, Jean Grey is to the Phoenix's chosen one.

But in the end, you still have to see it with your own eyes to know what it is like.

With a rare feeling of uneasiness, Luo Xi rushed to Earth. Charles and others were already waiting for his arrival at the X Academy.

"Luo Xi."

"The kid is here."

"She's still playing."

As soon as Luo Xi was teleported to the gate of the X Academy castle, Charles hurriedly called him in.

Today, the X Academy has long become a holy place for mutants, and many human scientists involved in related fields gather here.

The entire town has now become a university town. Many businesses have opened their shops around the school, and some have even moved into the school itself.

According to what Luo Xi felt, there were at least thousands of mutants here.

Moreover, among these mutants, the majority are minors or teenagers who have just reached adulthood, which makes the place full of a youthful atmosphere.

However, due to the special circumstances, Charles notified the teachers at the academy and asked them to order the students to stay away from the castle in the central area.

She is a super mutant with level five potential. Even though she is still a child, no one dares to ignore her power.

Luo Xi entered the room where Qin was.

This is a very girly activity room, filled with pink anime paintings, as well as some play equipment and doll pillows suitable for children under ten years old.

Since Academy X became famous, more and more parents have sent their mutant children here to receive formal education and targeted training programs.

After all, for most ordinary people, having a mutant child is not good for both parents and offspring.

Jean was the only one in the room. Charles and Eric were sitting on chairs nearby, while Mystique Raven and Storm Ororo were playing with the little girl.

"What's the situation now?" Luo Xi asked softly, sitting next to Charles.

He roughly observed Qin's essence with his psychic eyes.

A great yet broken will is now dormant in the body of this human girl.

In the warp space, countless flames as dazzling as the wings of a phoenix are burning.

There seemed to be a curtain in front of Luo Xi's eyes, and he couldn't see it clearly.

That great will is sleeping, and it instinctively protects Qin.

Once danger comes, I am afraid that the sleeping existence will temporarily wake up to help its host out of trouble.

Luo Xi was also cautious, not wanting the other party to feel threatened.

"When I used the brainwave amplifier before, I sensed some special mutants whose situation I couldn't exactly understand, so I later conducted a targeted investigation and found her."

"Jin, she is a miracle, an Omega that represents infinite possibilities."

Charles spoke softly, his face still showing the joy after extreme excitement and a hint of sadness.

"When we found Jean's home, her parents were also discussing whether to send their daughter to X Academy."

"She's already showing some signs of being different. Although she's only seven, she's already mastered telepathy and telekinesis. Her parents are very worried about this."

“I’m worried that I won’t be able to teach my children well, and I’m also afraid that my children might accidentally hurt them.”

Charles quickly selected some important situations and explained them.

And his meaning was very clear. They should find a way to guide and train Jean Grey, the Omega-level mutant.

"She is far more powerful than any of us, Omega, and symbolizes limitless power and the potential to change the world," Magneto said eagerly.

“It’s much more difficult for us to do that.”

He could feel that even in front of this delicate little guy, he might not get any good results.

It was very clear that the other party always posed a subtle threat to him.

Even though Eric has become less extreme under Roche's guidance and no longer has strong prejudice and hostility towards humans, he still has a strong sense of pride in his own race.

Mutation and greatness, this is Eric's creed.

Luo Xi peeked into the will behind Qin, and a lot of information was summarized from the observation.

"Alas."

Luo Xi frowned slightly, he found that Qin's situation was a little different from what he remembered.

Jean did have great potential, even greater than Eric and Charles, but she was not as strong as he imagined.

But he quickly realized that this was closely related to the Phoenix on Qin's body.

Luo Xi didn't know what a phoenix should look like, but the one in front of him was undoubtedly horribly mutilated.

A strong sense of brokenness came from the Phoenix's warp essence, which was extremely weak. Roshi had felt a similar feeling from Horus before.

It’s just that the Wolf God was repeatedly corrupted by the Four Gods of Chaos and completely broken and fallen. So what happened to this Phoenix?
"Did you see anything?" Charles asked with concern.

Although he is a master in the spiritual realm, he is extremely frustrated in front of Qin.

He could only feel the original chaotic will and the powerful emotions leaning towards the dark side in the other person's heart.

Charles understood that once Jean was controlled and influenced by that power, she might become an extremely terrifying and desperate black phoenix, destroying everything she saw.

"I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" Luo Xi asked.

"Bad news," Charles said.

"Good news," Eric replied quickly.

The two of them immediately glared at each other, feeling very unhappy.

"Then do it one by one." Luo Xi was no longer as nervous as he was at the beginning. After understanding Qin's condition, he felt that the situation was at least under control.

"The bad news is the power within Jean, which I call the Phoenix Force.

This is an extremely powerful and chaotic primordial force that can be traced back to the Big Bang.”

"What should we do then?" Charles immediately became nervous.

He didn't expect that the mysterious power in the piano would be more terrifying than he imagined, even beyond their understanding.

Although they didn't know what a phoenix was, nor what kind of power could have been passed down from the distant past of the Big Bang to the present, the bottom line was that Qin was very dangerous.

"Be patient," Luo Xi said. "The good news is that the Phoenix Power in Qin's body is very weak and abnormally broken. It is far less powerful than I imagined."

"If it's a complete phoenix, even I wouldn't dare to provoke it."

"As long as we can guide her well, Jean may be able to control the Phoenix Force with her own strength, rather than being controlled by it and becoming its host."

After hearing Luo Xi's description, Charles felt slightly relieved.

His heart was pounding.

If he had a choice, he would rather the child Qin did not have that incredible power, which would not be a good thing for Qin.

Too much power is both a gift and a curse.

If human will cannot overcome power, then it is nothing more than a puppet and slave of power.

"She is still a child. Her mind is not fully developed yet, and she has not established a complete worldview, and this is exactly what we need to do."

"We need her to live in X Academy and provide her with the most stable and harmonious environment.

We need to build her up into a normal person, teach her how to control her own strength, and then fight against the anger and fear that comes from her instincts."

Charles murmured, but his tone revealed his determination to stick to his word.

In his eyes, every mutant teenager is his own child, and Jean is the one who needs the most care and attention. He wants to give Jean a happy childhood. As a master of the spiritual realm, Charles deeply understands a truth: a happy childhood can heal a person's life, while unfortunate people spend their entire lives trying to heal their childhood.

A phoenix with an unfortunate childhood is completely bad news for mankind and the world.

"If we can train Jean well and make her a female warrior with a strong will and firm belief, then she will become our trump card against the gods in the future."

"An Omega-level mutant with unlimited potential, the most powerful of this class. Even gods cannot underestimate him."

Luo Xi was also quite looking forward to it. It would indeed be a great thing if there could be a Phoenix Girl in his camp.

What he lacked most was a comrade who could share the burden with him, and Qin undoubtedly had this potential.

Among the three, Eric, who was particularly enthusiastic towards Qin at the beginning, turned cold.

He values Omega-level mutants like Jean very much because her existence can become the mutants' trump card and support.

But now, knowing the threat Jean could pose, Eric has to consider the mutants he loves so much.

He instinctively didn't want to entrust the future of mutants to the morality and control of a child who was only seven years old.

"We can't just rely on gentle and soft tactics to influence Qin; her abilities are too dangerous.

Necessary coercive measures still need to exist, and we must stop her before she loses control."

Charles suddenly felt embarrassed. His emotions resisted this decision, but his reason knew that Eric was right.

Luo Xi pondered for a while and made a decision.

"The power of Qin is a double-edged sword. If used well, it will be a shield for mankind, but if used poorly, it will become a death warrant for mankind."

"We need to find a balance between protecting her and protecting the human world."

"I propose setting up a dedicated team to teach and observe Qin's growth and changes, and promptly correct any factors that may lead to developmental errors."

"As for the personnel, it will be composed of the most experienced members of your group among the X-Men, and I will also monitor the specific situation."

Luo Xi said, suddenly thinking of a suitable candidate.

"Among my legions, there's someone who's perfect for training Qin. He knows how to meticulously control psychic energy."

"Janus, the Psionic Master personally chosen by Malcador the Sigillite."

After hearing what Luo Xi said, Charles suddenly understood.

During this year and more, he also met other Astartes besides Sharokin, including the psychic master Janus.

Charles has communicated with this psychic master many times, and the other party can be regarded as his guide in exploring his own abilities.

Luo Xi acted quickly and called Janus, who was meditating at the Mars base, to Academy X.

Janus, wearing bright red Terminator armor with many arcane spells hanging on his shoulder armor and chest armor, soon came in front of Roxi.

"Lord Luo Xi, what brings you here?"

Janus was not wearing a helmet, revealing a shiny bald head.

It can be seen that he is very different from the psychic master that ordinary people have in mind.

He carries Magnus' gene-seed and the blood of the Scarlet King, making him one of the few pure descendants of the Fool.

Janus has a bull-like neck and a sharp, three-dimensional chin.

He was stocky and strong, with such wiry muscles that it seemed as if he could burst through the restraints of the power armor at any moment.

His smooth skull is inscribed with protective spells that help him deflect ricocheting enemy live and energy weapons, almost a psychic version of the Iron Halo.

Those psychic runes can protect Janus's will and make him immune to most curses and illusions, making it almost impossible to assassinate him.

Looking at this powerful warrior who was to become the Grand Master of the Grey Knights created by Malcador, Roxi fell into deep thought.

Janus is technically a composite personality, most of which he derived from Ravel Arvida, a member of the Thousand Sons' Order of Ravens, who was stationed within their fleet prior to the outbreak of the Horus Heresy.

So Arvida missed the Burning of Prospero, and after everything was settled, he returned home.

And in a bitter series of fratricide, Arvida joined the ranks of the White Scars.

It is worth mentioning that the Thousand Sons Psionic Librarian’s original most proficient attack mode was not psychic magic, but... the chainsaw axe.

He is best at close combat with the psychic lightning in his left hand and the violent chainsaw axe in his right hand.

Avida, who practiced both magic and martial arts, merged with the last fragment of Magnus's kind soul and his guardian spirit to become Janus.

He is undoubtedly the most special existence, and even Malcador has high hopes for him.

Luo Xi was thinking, would it be a wise choice to entrust a delicate little girl like Jean to a Space Marine with a body full of tendons and who loved to use a chainsaw axe to pry open the enemy's skull...

But he soon completed his ideological struggle.

He had no choice.

Apart from Janus, he no longer has any psychic think tank strong enough to monitor and check Jean.

And he himself has neither the time nor the energy.

Even Sevatar, the Prince of Crows, has very powerful psychic powers, but he is not actually good at using psychic powers.

He simply treated psychic power as a skill and integrated it into his own fighting style.

Luo Xi closed her eyes and seemed to see a Jean Grey in the future who was also wearing sexy armor, holding a chainsaw axe taller than a person in one hand and releasing the power of the phoenix with the other hand.

hiss……

Luo Xi continued to ponder it.

Thinking about it, it seems that it is not impossible...

Although it is shocking to think of such a wild and violent Jean Grey, at least she will not lose control easily.

Janus is an unparalleled warrior who has even overcome the genetic curse and flesh mutations of the Thousand Sons Legion. Isn't it easy for him to train an apprentice?
The apprentices he brings up may not be very gentle, but at least they will not be delicate and fragile.

After Luo Xi finished thinking, he coughed twice and spoke to Janus in a serious and solemn tone.

"Janus, I haven't spent much time with you. Although we've always been on the same side, we didn't meet until after the Horus Heresy."

"Malcador reshaped you. You were to become the first Grand Master of the Grey Knights, but now you have followed me to other universes."

"I now ask you again: Is your loyalty to the Emperor unwavering, your love for humanity unquenched, your obedience to my will absolute?"

After all, Roche and Janus were not close friends. It could be said that among the ten Astartes heroes he brought, only he and Roche were completely unfamiliar.

Therefore, Luo Xi also wanted to consider the other party's feelings first. If Janus did not want to do this, he would not make things difficult or force him.

This matter cannot be taken lightly, and there must not be any coercion or dissatisfaction.

"Lord Luo Xi, although as you said, our friendship is not deep, I still ask you to trust my position and loyalty."

"My gene-father, Magnus, committed a monstrous error, destroying the Emperor's carefully prepared plan. I am willing to atone for this with everything I have."

"And you are the heir chosen by the Emperor's will. Even if you want me to die, I will not hesitate for a moment."

Janus's tone was sonorous and powerful, with an almost cold determination.

This is a common problem among Space Marines, whose emotions have been suppressed to the extreme by transformation surgery and training.

"Well, since you said so, I will give you an important task." Luo Xi said to the director of the think tank.

"I need you to teach and help raise the mortal child. Her name is Jean Grey."

"A young fifth-level potential mutant."

Janus glanced at Qin who was playing, and he rarely showed a heavy expression.

In fact, from the moment he arrived on Earth, he sensed an extremely powerful and extremely chaotic primitive will.

Before using his psychic power to reach that consciousness, he completely withdrew his presence to avoid angering that extremely terrifying subspace creature.

Now that he had seen with his own eyes that the host of the Phoenix in the subspace was actually a human child, Janus couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of humans.

He realized that this mortal child was most likely the host of that Warp creature, just like those Warp demons were to his own mortal hosts.

"I was once deceived by the disguise of the Warp creatures. Most of the battle brothers of the Legion obtained their own guardian elves from the Warp."

"Perhaps there are indeed kind individuals in the Warp, but they are definitely a minority among the minority. And it is almost impossible for such powerful Warp creatures to be kind."

"It is using this human girl, perhaps for some evil plot, or perhaps to extend its tentacles into the real universe."

"Never believe the promises of creatures from the Warp. They are the most despicable, shameless, and vile beings in the world.

They lack the morals of humanity, the Thousand Sons were destroyed through blind naiveté, and I am the last survivor and avenger."

Janus thought so in his heart, but he also agreed to Luo Xi's order.

"My lord, I will teach this Jean Grey well.

I will teach her to control her own power, sharpen her will, and protect her soul, to the greatest extent possible, ensuring that the Warp creature cannot corrode or corrupt her."

Janus bowed his head, knelt on one knee, and made his solemn oath to Roshi.

"Professor Charles, I hope we can get along harmoniously during the time we work together."

"Whether you and I disagree or not, I will stick to my opinion."

Charles gave a wry smile, he understood what the powerful psychic warrior in front of him meant.

"You have your stance, and I have mine, but our goal is the same—to rationally intervene in Qin's growth and closely connect it with the fate of mankind."

Luo Xi looked at the two people and felt relieved that they seemed to have reached a preliminary consensus.

In his eyes, the 1661X-Men Universe has become his rear base.

This universe where he first descended and made great changes undoubtedly has an extremely important position.

The earth here will continuously produce mutants with various talents. This is an inexhaustible gold mine, and Luo Xi will never give it up unless it is absolutely necessary.

The appearance of Qin means huge risks, but also huge opportunities. He must keep a backup plan before he can embark on the journey with peace of mind.

Luo Xi said goodbye to Charles and returned to the Mars Forge World alone.

He had not forgotten what Trazyn had promised him: the Endless were also hostile to the gods.

He was very willing to teach Roxi the knowledge and technology related to the Necrons' [God-killing Weapons].

Luo Xi naturally remembered this promise very clearly.

Now he's going to collect the debt.

When Roxie found Trazyn, he was still receiving the daily deep spiritual comfort from the White Queen Emma.

The White Queen, an Alpha-class mutant second only to Charles in telepathy, was now lying beside Trazyn like a technician in a club, digging for the ancient fragmented treasure in his memory.

She also used her fair and tender hands to apply high-grade lubricant to Trazyn's secondary living metal body.

This scene made Luo Xi feel extremely absurd.

Seeing Luo Xi coming, Emma's face suddenly turned pale, and she trembled with fear as if she had seen a demon that was ready to devour people.

Trazyn closed his eyes and patted her shoulder with his metal right hand, indicating that there was no need to panic.

"It's okay. You are mine now, and Luo Xi won't do anything bad to you again."

"I, your master, have a lot of face!"

Listening to the shameless Endless talking nonsense, Luo Xi was so angry that his nose was crooked.

Emma was a test subject he captured. When did she become Tarazyn's person?
"There's one more condition for exchanging the God-killing weapon: I really enjoy the service of the White Queen," Trazyn said.

"As a Necrontyr noble, it's reasonable for you to have a slave, right?"

He stood up slowly, and the metal on his body rubbed against each other, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

Luo Xi never thought that a Necron with a body of steel could make such a sound similar to the loosening of human muscles and crackling of joints.

Except for the fact that he has no flesh on his body, this guy is even more human-like than many humans in other aspects.

"The White Queen is a precious psychic mutant. Her body can even transform into a specially constructed living diamond. How can you just ask her and take her away?"

Luo Xi said this deliberately in an accent.

Trazyn adjusted his loosened jaw with his hand and started cursing.

"Greedy human boy, I'm about to teach you my clan's secret weapon for killing gods, yet you're so stingy when I ask you for a person."

"Do you know how powerful and precious the God-killing weapon is? My clan combined the technology of the ancient saints with the treasures left by Katan to create this powerful weapon that is enough to kill the star god."

"There was no doubt that the once-glorious Star Gods had vanished from the universe. It was because they were all blasted to pieces by the god-killing weapons."

There was a gleam in Luo Xi's eyes. He deliberately contradicted Taraxin in order to lure this guy into the trap.

As long as he could get more information about the God-killing weapon, he would be the first to support Emma, not to mention Trazyn, even if Trazyn wanted to start a harem here.

He just hoped that Trazyn still had the corresponding physical ability.
