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

Chapter 717 Dilemma and Breakthrough (asking for monthly ticket)

When Roche realized that the world code-named 3206 was actually the Transformers universe, he had expected that this would be a plundering war without much suspense.

After recuperating in the 1661 X-Men Universe, the war force under Roche has recovered to a considerable level.

Especially after the appearance of the Primaris Space Marines and the Sentinels, his confidence grew even more.

Whether it is the Autobot Transformers represented by Optimus Prime or the Decepticon Transformers represented by Megatron, their fights on Earth are nothing more than minor skirmishes.

Even the US military in the 21st century can use its own missiles and guns to severely damage or even kill Transformers. These Cybertronians are not as powerful as imagined.

There won't be much suspense when Roche's war expedition fleet faces these Transformers.

Primaris Space Marines equipped with Infinity Engines can easily kill these silicon-based life forms.

But now, reality poured cold water on Luo Xi, making him calm down immediately.

The instinctive counterattack of the sleeping Unicron lasted only three seconds, but the sand that was passed by the energy beam had been reorganized at the quantum level.

The original sand and gravel on the surface of the Mojave Desert has turned into some strange substance composed of dark red metal.

The smell of ozone produced by atmospheric ionization has not yet dissipated, and the atmosphere from other places has finally filled the hole left by the shocking blow.

The mess and debris on the ground still tell of the danger that just happened.

The void in the dark universe that could be seen with the naked eye slowly disappeared and blurred.

Weather observation stations within a radius of thousands of kilometers have been torn to pieces like pieces of paper, and some unlucky humans have even lost their bodies.

Luo Xi could even imagine that if Unicron really woke up under his instigation, the first to be destroyed would be the Earth.

Billions of humans would be wiped out in seconds, wherever they were.

"It seems I have to keep a low profile. If the exciting Unicron wakes up, then this universe will lose its usefulness to me."

Luo Xi pressed his bulging temple helplessly. He had just provoked those gods and then bumped into the sleeping Emperor of the Universe.

I just don’t know whether this is lucky or unfortunate.

"Let's go, let's change places first. The troops sent by humans to investigate the situation will probably be here soon."

As he spoke, countless nanorobots emerged from Luo Xi's body. These clever little creatures broke down the metal materials in the environment, and then, under the control of Gestalt consciousness, quickly completed proliferation and reorganization.

In just a few breaths, a low-key and luxurious two-seater coupe appeared in front of Luo Xi.

He got in the driver's seat and took Trazyn away from this troubled place.

Just six hours later, a large number of military helicopters and strategic transport aircraft carrying Marines arrived over the Mojave Desert.

They had just arrived from the nearest military base, taking unknown risks to find out what was happening in this uninhabited desert.

Too many people captured the image of a crimson light erupting from the desert, followed by the atmosphere in the sky being torn apart, and a destructive storm ensued.

As the most technologically and militarily powerful country on the planet, the United States never expected to encounter such a situation within its own territory.

Everything was so strange, it didn't seem like anything humans could create.

"Have you found the source of that catastrophic energy?"

A V-22 tilt-rotor aircraft circled in the sky, its high-precision camera scanning the terrifying energy traces, and the complex instruments on the side emitted sharp explosions.

Inside the Osprey, a man wearing a beret and with eyes as deep and sharp as an eagle asked the technician beside him.

Although he is a colonel in the army, this sudden special incident is not under his jurisdiction.

Next to the colonel stood quietly a middle-aged man wearing a black suit and a colorful tie.

The other person was holding a miniature scanning device in his hand, remotely sensing the pulse radiation from the metal materials below.

"Agent Simmons, what's the situation?" the colonel asked in a low voice.

He didn't know the other party's origins, he only knew that Simmons was a member of a mysterious organization called "District 7".

His superiors told him to be cautious and to consult Agent Simmons when necessary.

Agent Simmons took the instrument back and placed it back into a sealed briefcase.

"The special radiation here is over 95% consistent. We can confirm that this is the work of those things."

"Those things?" the colonel asked, raising his voice, slightly confused.

He didn't quite understand why even an officer of his rank had to keep something secret.

"I'm sorry, Colonel." Simmons said politely, but his attitude was still cold.

"Your level is not yet able to understand what we are doing. I cannot tell you more information."

"But I can reveal a few details: our mission in District 7 is to research, defend, and combat threats posed by extraterrestrial life to Earth. Our targets have never been anything on Earth."

Although Simmons' answer did not completely satisfy the colonel, at least he had some idea in mind.

Extraterrestrial life? Aliens?

The confusion in his heart was also answered. No wonder those tiny grains of sand on the surface of the vast Mojave Desert turned into some kind of deep red rust substance.

Even the ultimate weapon that humans are proud of: the nuclear warhead, does not have such an exaggerated performance.

You have to know that the Mojave Desert covers an area of more than 65000 square kilometers. Even if it was hit by a few nuclear bombs, there would only be a few more craters.

Not to mention that the red energy beam released directly tore through the atmosphere and triggered an unprecedented giant storm.

Simmons rode the Osprey and continued to move forward in the direction of radiation decay on the ground.

Soon, they found the core of all the anomalies: an abyss of unknown depth suddenly appeared in the desert, with only the melted and cooled metal ground around it.

Several Osprey transport ships dropped several shock bombs into the bottomless abyss, and their depth could be detected by the reflected signal waves.

But a long time passed and there was no response, as if the bombs thrown in were swallowed by a huge mouth of the abyss.

"Should we send someone down to take a look?" suggested the colonel.

Although his superiors had hinted that he should act according to the wishes of Agent Simon from District 7, as a member of the military, he was instinctively curious about all unknown secrets.

In this country, although various government departments are in a parallel relationship, they still compete for the right to speak.

The military, of course, almost never suffers losses. They constantly launch foreign wars and use them to consolidate their status and power.

"You let your people go down?" Agent Simon suddenly asked back, his tone tinged with arrogance and sarcasm. "The special radiation on the ground is strong enough to kill an adult in a short time. You are undoubtedly killing them by doing this."

"Only at this distance does that special radiation pose little harm to the human body."

"It's just that I've never seen such strong radiation traces. It's incredible."

Agent Simons remembered the energy cube code-named [NBE-1] and the one that appeared with NBE-1 in Area hidden under the Hoover Dam.

While the world was still speculating about the existence of aliens, District 7 was already studying them. Simmons recalled the icy alien covered in steel and couldn't help but feel fear in his heart.

He didn't know how NBE-1 came to Earth. In the last century, a captain named Witwicky accidentally discovered the remains of this alien while leading a team to explore the Arctic.

The Lighthouse government sent people to recover the NBE-1 that was frozen in the Arctic, and continued to study and analyze the advanced technology contained in this alien.

It is precisely because of the existence of this alien that their country's technology has always remained far ahead.

The advent of the electronic communications age is the result of the realization of the treasures unearthed from NBE-1.

In addition to the alien, the NBE energy cube also fascinated their scientists.

The regular cube with a side length of more than 20 meters and some unknown language symbols and pictographic patterns on its surface contained astronomically complex information, but they had no way to deal with it.

In order to cover up the radiation signal of this strange object, President Hoover at the time specially built the Hoover Dam, using tens of thousands of tons of concrete to block the signal it emitted.

Humans are afraid that the signals it sends will attract enemies that they cannot defeat.

Simmons had a lot of thoughts in his mind, about those mysterious mechanical aliens, the technology brought by the aliens, and the fate of this country.

"Only by mastering greater power can humans fight against those aliens of unknown origin."

"With humanity's current technological capabilities, we have absolutely no chance of defeating them. The technology I've unearthed from the NBE-1 is just a drop in the ocean. Other, more advanced technologies are simply beyond our reach with our current capabilities."

It is precisely because of this sufficient understanding that Simmons feels even more desperate.

And now, this unusual incident in the Mojave Desert has undoubtedly sounded the alarm again.

There might be other aliens similar to NBE-1 lurking on their planet right now, and for some reason, they caused the explosion in the desert.

If such an explosion had occurred in a metropolis like New York, Simmons couldn't imagine how horrific the loss of life would have been.

What’s even more deadly is that they have no good way to deal with these aliens.

"Agent, how should we deal with the situation here?" The colonel interrupted Simmons's thoughts and asked directly.

"Let's temporarily block it off. Close off the entire Mojave Desert, put up barbed wire around the edges, and erect warning signs."

The colonel was stunned. He didn't expect such a simple and crude solution.

"With such a large area, we can't stop them. Someone will definitely sneak in to satisfy their curiosity."

Simon laughed immediately and waved his hand dismissively.

"We are just fulfilling our duty to remind them. It's hard to persuade the damned ones with kind words. They are happy to venture into this desert full of deadly radiation. It's none of our business."

“Those who are overly curious may die faster and faster in the future. The world is changing, and those who don’t keep up will eventually be eliminated.”

The colonel suddenly felt speechless. He wanted to say something, but he didn't.

Although it sounds unpleasant, it is true.

"Have your people maintain high-altitude surveillance three times a day. The rest of the personnel should withdraw and just wait and see."

……

"Among those people, there should be people from District 7."

"After all, the commotion in the desert is clearly not caused by humans. It's time for the departments responsible for managing aliens to step in."

In a small town on the edge of the Mojave Desert, Luo Xi leaned against his coupe, leisurely watching the military helicopters and transport planes coming and going in the sky.

The huge noise of the propellers makes people feel irritated instinctively, so the residents of the town hide in their homes and rely on mobile networks to vent their emotions.

Trazyn's face was full of worry. The source of fire was right within their reach, but they had to face the obstruction of the evil dragon.

Luo Xi bought two glasses of cold beer from the tavern in the small town and handed one to Taraxin. The two sat in the empty tavern and discussed countermeasures.

"Because of Unicron's existence, our plans must be more cautious."

"When I was watching the movie before, I felt very strange. Why did the Transformers, the Spark, and all kinds of strange ancient beings keep running to this remote place like Earth?"

"From the perspective of the Milky Way, the Earth is just in an extremely remote corner, not at all noticeable."

"But if Unicron is sleeping inside the earth, everything makes sense." Luo Xi took a sip of cold beer and said slowly.

Trazyn didn't touch the drink in front of him. For the Necrons, food and drink were a luxury.

They had no desire to eat at all.

However, Tracin felt quite comfortable with the fact that Roxie ordered a beer for him. At least in the other person's eyes, he was a living being with desires.

These Necrons often pay special attention to extremely subtle things.

"Your idea is that Unicron deliberately guided the Allspark to fall to Earth?" Trazyn asked.

Luo Xi nodded. He did have a relatively reasonable guess.

"According to the cosmic story background we know, a world-shaking war broke out between the Unicron and Yuanshi Tianzun.

The result of the war was that the Emperor of the Universe retreated and disappeared, while Yuanshi Tianzun ran out of energy and fell into a deep sleep.

"And the Allspark is undoubtedly something from Cybertron. It has a close connection with Yuanshi Tianzun."

"This artifact, belonging to Yuanshi Tianzun, eventually fell on Earth where the Emperor of the Universe was dormant. Is this a coincidence?"

Trazyn was also lost in thought. He knew very well that the movie, which lasted only a few hours, only revealed the tip of the iceberg.

It is very likely that the information revealed in the movies is wrong, and what the protagonists of those movies see is just what certain beings want them to see.

Trazyn tried to put himself in Unicron's shoes and imagine what choice he would make.

"If I were the Emperor of the Universe and was temporarily at a disadvantage in a battle with my mortal enemy, I would choose to hide quietly and devour all matter to recover from my injuries."

Trazyn's pupils, glowing with a faint green light, flashed with endless streams of data.

His logic matrix is calculating frantically to better simulate the thinking patterns of beings at the level of Unicron.

In his big data model, he chose the thinking mode of the Star Gods. In the eyes of the Necrons, Unicron and those Star Gods have extremely high similarities.

Perhaps the Emperor of the Universe and the gods are of the same kind.

"Earth is my disguise. I must ensure that I maintain a low profile until my strength recovers to a certain level to avoid being discovered by my nemesis."

"But I need to speed up my recovery. To do this, I might need those prey to fall into my trap."

Trazyn seemed to have grasped the crux of the matter.

"Is Unicron fishing with the Allspark?" he suddenly said.

Luo Xi just nodded lightly. This was indeed his guess.

"The Allspark Cube is a sacred object in the hearts of all Transformers. In their minds, the Allspark is the source and destination of all Transformers, and it is the supreme artifact belonging to the Transformers clan."

"It's just that due to the civil war on Cybertron, the Allspark Cube was accidentally lost in space and fell to Earth by chance."

The two looked at each other and felt that there was an amazing "coincidence" in it.

There are no coincidences in the world, only clever arrangements that have not been seen through.

And now, Luo Xi, who has the advantage of some of the prophet's intelligence, vaguely smells some kind of conspiracy.

"The creator of Cybertron was Yuanshi Tianzun, the symbol of existence, light, and order. Before he fell into a deep sleep, he created thirteen Primordial Transformers, who in turn created many complex Transformers."

"For Unicron, these Transformers born from Cybertron are the offspring of his nemesis, and are also sweet food that contains the power of his nemesis."

"As long as the news that the Allspark is on Earth is released to the universe, both the Decepticons and the Autobots will rush to Earth like crazy."

In the conversation between Roxi and Trazyn, Unicron's deep plan was vaguely revealed.

They were able to draw these conclusions entirely because of their outsider intelligence advantage.

If they were all native humans of the Transformers universe, they would naturally not think of these extremely hidden details.

Luo Xi couldn't help but put down his glass, feeling excited and nervous about his discovery.

His fingertips tapped out a rhythmic melody on the walnut tabletop, and his toes tapped lightly.

This small town on the edge of the desert was not hit too hard by the storm as it was far away from the center of the disaster.

But the raised dust still hit the glass windows, making a rustling noise.

"Unicron is sitting on the fishing platform, using the Allspark as bait to lure the Transformers to Earth."

"After arriving on Earth, in its home turf, whether it was devoured by the Unicron or enslaved and became its servant naturally depended on the god's mood."

With this speculation, Taraxin felt a chill from the bottom of his heart rushing to his head.

His thought matrix perfectly simulated this feeling of fear and horror, which made the Endless feel waves of excitement.

"Anglers just hope to catch fish, but the reality is often something else takes the bait, and we are that unexpected thing."

"If we were really stupid enough to go directly to Hoover Dam and steal the fire source that is being protected and studied by Area 7.

One can imagine how furious the fisherman would be if his bait was taken away."

Trazyn said with fear.

Although the Emperor of the Universe is sleeping, this does not affect its ability to complete its plan.

When Roshi descended to Earth, the Om Messiah aura he exuded through psychic teleportation triggered Unicron's instinctive counterattack, and even triggered a disaster that turned the entire Mojave Desert into a metal purgatory.

Even if the Unicron is sleeping, it does not mean that it knows nothing about the outside world.

The Infinite One raised his metal arm, and a beam of holographic projection light quickly lit up on the wall.

The bar owner looked at this scene in amazement, but in his eyes, Taraxin was just fiddling with some new technological equipment.

The mimicry stance perfectly concealed Trazyn's actions, preventing him from attracting other people's attention.

"This is the sonic feedback from the concussion bombs released by the humans."

Taraxin pointed to the complex cross-section on the holographic projection, and could see that beneath the crust, in the high-temperature and high-pressure mantle, were curled up countless hideous mechanical planetary structures.

Countless energy veins spread to every corner of the earth like blood vessels, becoming sensors for it to perceive the world.

"The reason those humans didn't receive proper feedback is simply because their technological level was too low to detect those subtle fluctuations."

"Based on preliminary speculation, Unicron's subconscious mind may be able to distinguish which movements are caused by humans on Earth and which are caused by extraterrestrial life."

"If not, the wars and repeated nuclear tests that have broken out among humans on this Earth should have awakened the will of Unicron."

In Trazyn's holographic projection, one can see the abyss that erupts with dark red energy.

The spatial structure showed fractal characteristics. With every kilometer of descent, the interconnected channels would expand to 1.618 times their original size.

Roche and Trazyn did not use psychic powers to observe the appearance of the earth's crust, but relied purely on the feedback of vibration waves to conduct physical analysis.

This will prevent the Emperor of the Universe from being disturbed and causing irreparable consequences.

Hundreds of millions of mechanical tentacles are slowly wriggling in the mantle. The surface of each tentacle is covered with countless fine claws and honeycomb-like holes, devouring the heavy metal elements in the planet's mantle.

Some structures similar to deformable gears are distributed at the ends of the tentacles, which can freely change into the most suitable shape to adapt to the extremely harsh natural environment.

That is the true form of the Emperor of the Universe, the essence of this cosmic evil god hidden beneath its ordinary surface.

"Remember those dark red metals that were transformed from the dark red energy erupting from the ground?" said Trazyn.

"Those grains of sand reconstructed at the quantum level have been contaminated and assimilated by the power of Unicron, becoming part of its body. Compared to humans, they might be just a little bit of dandruff."

Luo Xi now has a complex feeling of being caught between a rock and a hard place. He wants to obtain the ultimate artifact, the Allspark, but he also doesn't want to completely anger the Emperor of the Universe or even wake him up from his dormant state.

When facing this god whose upper limits are unknown, everything must be done with caution.

Luo Xi was also very curious as to why an existence like the Unicron would actually appear in the parallel universe divided by the gods.

It feels as outrageous as discovering a giant whale weighing tens of thousands of tons in your fish tank at home.

But then, Luo Xi realized that it was his preconceived ideas that made the mistake.

He had never seen a god before, and it was also the first time he saw an existence of the level of the Emperor of the Universe, so he instinctively thought that the two had nothing to do with each other.

But what if there is a possibility that the so-called Emperor of the Universe, or Yuanshi Tianzun, are all a kind of celestial god?

The gods spread life and divided the universe, and Yuanshi Tianzun and the Universe Emperor also did the above things.

They all belong to the macro concept of "God", and perhaps there are still subtle differences among them, but Luo Xi believes that this conjecture is not impossible.

As for whether there will be conflicts among the gods and whether they will fight each other, Luo Xi is more inclined to believe that the answer is yes.

Perhaps the Emperor of the Universe fell asleep in this parallel universe after losing the battle with Yuanshi Tianzun, quietly accumulating strength, waiting to return one day.

"We have to find a way to keep Unicron asleep while we get the Allspark."

"If outsiders like us were to touch or plunder the Allspark, there's a high chance that it would attract the attention of the Unicron, leading to a complete loss of control."

"But just because we can't take it directly doesn't mean other beings can't take it."

Luo Xi and Taraxin smiled at each other in tacit understanding.

"In the original novel, the Allspark was fought over by the Decepticons and the Autobots, and was even stuffed into Megatron's heart by the protagonist, a human named Sam Witwicky, causing his death."

"If we let the Decepticons or Autobots get the Allspark for us, and then we immediately escape from this universe before Unicron reacts, perhaps that would be the only viable solution."

Roxie and Trazyn quickly came up with a plan; they needed the "help" of those Transformers.

However, what Roxie wants to get from the Transformers universe is far more than just the Allspark.

The Transformers' transforming gears, the space bridge technology carried by the former Autobot leader Megatron hidden on the moon, the leader module hidden in the Jordan Temple, and other black technologies belonging to the Transformers are all things that Roche is unwilling to let go.

For humans, these are extremely precious and unique technology trees that can greatly make up for the missing parts of the human technology tree.

Especially the space bridge technology that can achieve physical superluminal speed, which is something the Emperor dreams of.

Only after completing these goals can Luo Xi safely evacuate the 3206 parallel universe with the spark source and disappear completely.

As for the humans in this universe, Luo Xi will naturally pack them up and take them away.
The number of humans in the X-Men universe is too small, just a few billion people, which is completely unable to meet Roshi's expansion needs.

Once the plan was set, Roche immediately took action. He called on the legionnaires who were on standby on the back of Saturn and hiding on Phobos, and asked them to go to the moon to assemble immediately.

Putting aside other things for now, Luo Xi must first get the space bridge technology in Yu Tiandi's hands that can achieve superluminal movement.

What the Warhammer universe lacks most is stable superluminal technology, and humans can only achieve this goal by using subspace jumps.

If superluminal technology is obtained, it will bring about earth-shaking changes to the human empire.
