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

Chapter 727 Nano-Insect Swarm·Blood Tide (please vote for me)
In the Pluto Universe, the war between the Solar Fleet and the Celestial Fleet gradually entered a white-hot state.

Following Luo Xi's order, the swarm of nano-insects used as a trump card poured out like a galaxy.

These human creations from the Dark Age of Technology devour starlight, their wingbeats resonating with the wails of dying warships, weaving a silvery blanket of death across enemy shields.

Many times, attacks from the microscopic scale are more deadly and effective than those from macroscopic enemies.

Cassandra commanded the Celestial Fleet to launch a direct offensive, surrounding the Sun Fleet's tight firepower network.

In this brutal battle of mincing meat, a large number of warships belonging to the God camp turned into dust and debris floating in space.

The Solar Fleet and Pluto's orbital defense system frantically annihilated more than one-fifth of the Celestial Fleet in just a few hours.

Of course, the human side also paid a heavy price.

However, the enemy seemed like a madman and was not afraid of their own casualties at all.

Their warships intertwined with the Sun Fleet, dragging both sides into the terrifying abyss of close-range boarding combat.

The main gun of the Crimson Fist penetrated the protection of the opponent's flagship's energy shield and directly caused huge damage to the interior of the Final Judgment.

However, there was only one chance. The other Celestial warships, as if they were not afraid of death, used their bodies as cover and were forced off course by the Crimson Fist.

Of course, the price paid was four of the Celestial Gods' warships, which were reduced to blazing ashes under the furious firepower of the Crimson Fist.

The nano-insect swarms were still multiplying crazily. Their numbers were increasing, gradually penetrating the protection of the energy shield and penetrating into the metal armor of the battleship.

Without systematic protection like energy shields, even hard alloy armor cannot withstand the targeted attacks of nano-insect swarms.

They gnawed at the metal with great greed, sucking the sweet nectar of the energy shield while rapidly transforming themselves.

The nano-insect swarms used the materials of the Celestial Battleship to replicate themselves at a faster rate. They drilled into the cables and pipes inside the battleship, causing destruction unscrupulously.

Wherever they went, the energy short circuit spread. It took only a few hours for the commander of the Blade of God to realize the seriousness of the matter.

"Kill them! Kill them at all costs!"

"Our battleship is being paralyzed, what the hell is going on!"

The commander roared in horror. What he feared was not being killed by the enemy, but the terrible punishment the legion commander would bring upon him if he destroyed the flagship.

That is far more terrifying than death.

The evolution of the nanoworm swarm is continuing. They have developed a more complex body structure and their intelligence level is also improving.

The mutants and Eternals who were remotely mentally controlled by Cassandra using the Dominator Helmet quickly rushed to the place where the nano-insect swarm was infested.

They mobilized their X genes or used their psychic powers to release all kinds of dazzling energy attacks to destroy the swarms that were difficult to detect with the naked eye.

The ultra-high temperature heat rays swept across the nano insect swarm wantonly, and the surging thunder and lightning directly ionized the air, overloading the internal structure of the nanorobot.

However, the high temperature of the flames only scorched the surface of the insect swarm, causing part of their metal bodies to melt and turn black.

Sebastian's mutant ability gives these nano-insect swarms more powerful self-regeneration capabilities.

The charred surface peeled off very quickly, revealing the skin inside.

As for lightning, there is no good way to deal with the swarm.

Even those insect swarms that appear as black clouds in the air will actively seek out lightning to devour. Their hunger for energy is completely unstoppable.

Billions of metal mouthparts were gnawing, and each nanoworm was replicating the Black King's gluttonous feast of devouring energy.

What Sebastian Shaw himself couldn't do, he achieved through these nano-insect swarms.

The warriors of the God's Blade Legion were immediately furious and roared that they would teach humans a lesson.

They were unwilling to believe in evil and used high-energy laser beams, kinetic shock waves, strong acid corrosive liquids and other forms of attack to destroy the insect swarm.

However, kinetic strikes pose no threat to these extremely tiny beings.

The nano-insect swarm pounced on the mutants and Eternals. They turned into black storms and drilled into each other's bodies frantically.

The sharp mouthparts and claws tore through the skin and muscles, sucking the hot blood and fragile internal organs of these god-warriors.

Some winged insects flapped their wings and blew countless tiny particles similar to scale powder in front of the mutants.

In a very short time, these microparticles hatched again into nanoworm swarms.

They travel through the enemy's blood vessels, tearing arteries with extreme precision, blocking nerves, and destroying the brain.

A large number of mutants and Eternals wailed in pain. They scratched their skin desperately, but could not relieve even the slightest itch.

The itch comes from the organs, blood vessels, and even bones in the body.

Even among the Eternals and Mutants, who have strong vitality, only a very few can endure this kind of pain.

At this moment, they tasted the pain of hell.

Some of the divine warriors exploded all over, and a large amount of blood gushed out from under their skin, turning into a blood mist that spread out.

Nano swarms are breeding and spreading wildly in their flesh and blood. The fear of being eaten alive bit by bit even causes the psychic powers of the mutants and Eternals to go out of control and backfire.

The runaway psychic power makes it even more difficult for other psychics to control themselves.

One after another, powerful warriors died from massive bleeding in internal organs as if in a chain reaction.

Blood, blood everywhere. The nanorobots pierced human cells and sprayed dirty blood everywhere.

They collapsed to the ground twitching all over, having lost control of their bodies with their nervous systems severed.

Among these people, there are even powerful mutants such as Sunspot, Flash, and Fluid.

However, their powerful mutation abilities are useless in the face of nano-insect swarms that excel at attacking enemies at a microscopic level.

Even if a part of the insect swarm is annihilated, relying on the abundant energy and rich materials here, their self-replication speed will be much faster than the speed of damage.

Some nanoworm swarms have even evolved the ability to partially control the human brain.

They enter the cranial cavity along the blood circulation system and penetrate deep into the brain tissue along the capillaries.

These nanoworm swarms then begin to control brain tissue and release false bioelectric signals.

A mutant who could release plasma to attack suddenly screamed in pain.

The nanoworm swarm in his brain drained his strength at all costs, gradually turning him into an out-of-control plasma bomb.

His skin turned a dazzling blue, with countless rays of light faintly piercing through it, making it look like cracked fine porcelain.

The mutant's mouth was wide open, as if he was asking for help from his comrades, but no one could save him.

The out-of-control X gene absorbed too much psychic energy, and the mutants who exploded immediately took away several of their companions.

Even their bodies were completely reduced to ashes under the erosion of high-temperature plasma.

The riots are still spreading, and even the Eternals, who have more comprehensive abilities, can only passively resist in the face of these microscopic nano-insect swarms.

Although their psychic shields were able to block the invasion of the nano-insect swarms, they were still being constantly depleted and weakened.

If time is delayed any further, they may be exhausted to death.

Until an old man with gray hair and a cloak took action personally. He controlled the electromagnetic force, created a powerful electromagnetic field, and expelled the invasion of the nano-insect swarms.

"Magneto! You're finally here!"

"Kill these ghosts!"

An Eternal warrior shouted in surprise, saying that to deal with such a tiny metal enemy, one must be the master of all magnetic fields.

No matter how small the nanoworm swarms are, they are made of metal and are naturally affected by electromagnetic fields.

In just a few seconds, the swarm of nano-insects that was spreading on the Blade of the Gods flagship was suppressed and contained.

The old Magneto's face turned pale. He waved his hands and used the magnetic field to peel off these ghost things.

He originally wanted to completely crush these micro robots, but he was horrified to find that these swarms were connecting with each other.

Together they form a magnetic field generator to counteract his magnetic field.

A single nanorobot might be tiny, but the number of nanorobots replicated and multiplied on this ship is now measured in trillions.

When they form a combined force, it will be a very terrifying force.

The old Magneto made the decision in an instant. His mission was to protect the safety of the flagship. He had to drive away and remove these nano-insect swarms.

In an instant, the elderly Magneto used the power of his magnetic field to cut apart the cabins and decks that were riddled with holes caused by the swarm of nanoworms.

He didn't have the time or energy to pick out the nanoworm swarms that were drilling everywhere, so he could only solve the problem in this one-size-fits-all way.

If he continued to waste time, he was worried that these nano-insect swarms would adapt to the power of his magnetic field and even evolve to the point of threatening his abilities.

As for the soldiers of the Celestial Blade Legion who were thrown into space together, the old Magneto didn't care at all.

He came from a universe where he and Charles loved and hated each other, but his old rival met that devilish woman.

She calls herself Cassandra.

Charles was easily killed by her, and even his bones were fused with his wheelchair.

The old Magneto did not want to die, so he had no choice but to surrender to Cassandra.

After surrendering, he immediately realized that he no longer had the power to choose.

Cassandra's Ruler Helmet can control these subjugated mutants or Eternals.

This is a kind of meme-like mental manipulation that cannot be resisted by so-called willpower.

Although the controlled people still retain their self-awareness, they will obey and be loyal to Cassandra from the bottom of their hearts.

This is the divine weapon bestowed upon her by those who claim to be gods.

Relying on his powerful mutant abilities, the elderly Magneto is considered one of the top leaders in the Celestial Blade Legion, but he knows that he is just a high-level cannon fodder.

The damaged warship suddenly lost its air pressure, and the strong wind carried the gas into the universe.

The elderly Magneto used the magnetic field to create a protective shield around himself and stored some air at the same time.

His naked eyes could clearly see the chaotic space, where countless warships were fighting each other with their macro cannons and light spears.

Death-strike missiles, leaving trails of flame in the universe, tore at their targets, occasionally crashing into the wreckage and erupting in astonishing flames.

He was silent for three seconds, then waved his cloak and returned to the undamaged cabin.

The elderly Magneto knew that the purpose of his trip was to destroy the human civilization that had developed a rebellious heart on behalf of the gods.

This human civilization killed the previous Eternals' vanguard and wanted to rebel against the rule of the gods.

And he also knows that on this Earth, there is a younger Magneto and a younger Professor X.

But he didn't even dare to think about it, because Cassandra could monitor and detect the thoughts of any of her subordinates through her ruler helmet.

Even Magneto doesn't want to recall the consequences of being caught by her.

He is also a human being, but he has to slaughter his compatriots for the gods. He has no choice.

……

The flagship of the Blade of the Gods is extremely large, nearly two hundred kilometers long, making its internal complexity beyond the imagination of most people.

The old Magneto shuttled throughout the battleship, and he was indeed able to control the magnetic field.

However, the battleship environment is too complex, and now we are in a state of war, which greatly interferes with his abilities.

Therefore, he could only run back and forth, like an unskilled surgeon, trying his best to remove those nanoworm swarms that were like maggots attached to his bones.

As for those warriors who were contaminated by the nano-insect swarm, Magneto had the limbs of those who were slightly contaminated directly chopped off, while those who were seriously contaminated were thrown out directly.

It is better to kill a thousand people by mistake than to let one go.

For a moment, the number of God's Blade warriors killed by the nano-insect swarm was actually less than the number killed by Magneto's sword.

After suffering a heavy loss here, the flagship of the God's Blade Legion quickly retreated on the battlefield, like a wounded beast, wary of being contaminated by the nano-insect swarm again.

Pollax took stock of the battle situation and noticed that the enemy's first wave of attack had begun to weaken.

"They can't bite us off, and all they get is a bloody end."

Previously, he was really worried that the Crimson Fist would be defeated by the opponent's flagship, and once the flagship was defeated, their situation would be very passive.

"This nano-insect swarm is truly formidable. Lord Roshi has hidden it in his base on Pluto, waiting to use it when needed."

Polux said with genuine excitement that he was very glad that they had someone like Roxi by their side, who could always come up with solutions in times of crisis.

At this moment on the space battlefield, the warships belonging to the Blade of God are shrinking their formation.

More and more warships fell under the erosion of the nano-insect swarm. Every time a warship was eaten, all its mass would be converted into the mass of the nano-insect swarm.

As one grew stronger, the other weakened, and the nano-insect swarm quickly expanded to an extremely terrifying level.

They are like a continuous dark cloud, spreading wildly in the outskirts of the solar system.

However, their mobility is always a problem, and they move at a snail's pace in the vast void.

Luo Xi hooked his finger at the earth, and these nano-insect swarms changed their behavior patterns like obedient hounds.

They floated in space like jellyfish, extending their tentacles to salvage all the broken warships and corpses frozen into ice.

Many of the legion warriors of the Blade of the Gods are powerful mutants and Eternals, and their genes are precious trophies to Roxi.

The Solar Fleet returned to the vicinity of Pluto's orbit to carry out emergency treatment of some minor damage.

Polux had not allowed them to return to the Martian Forge World for repairs.

No one knows whether the enemies will come back and attack them by surprise.

The two sides only had their first collision and the Solar Fleet completely lost dozens of warships, most of which were completely beyond repair and had to be scrapped.

……

"The enemy is strong, but we are not bad either."

Inside X Academy, Luo Xi and Charles sat at a tea table by the lake, discussing the battle on the front lines. "Without you, relying solely on our strength, we wouldn't be able to defeat an enemy of this level."

"I'm very glad now that you came to our universe, and that we were united under your pressure."

"If we remain a disunited group, unable even to resist, some people will surrender before others."

"There is no shortage of surrenderers in the world. These people have a keener sense of smell than a hound."

Charles said this sincerely, the cool breeze from the lake ruffling his hair and making him feel less melancholy.

"It's too early to be happy now. This is just the first confrontation."

"If we can use some unconventional means, then the enemy must have similar means."

"I have a feeling they've already played their cards."

Luo Xi took a sip of tea and spoke slowly.

"The sins committed by these minions of the gods are too grave. We have discovered traces of a unique type of mind control in some of the corpses collected from the battlefield."

"They even use mind control on their own people to prevent betrayal."

"Countless lives in parallel universes have been destroyed at their hands. I will never tolerate them continuing to harm humanity."

Charles picked up the teacup and placed it in front of him but had no intention of tasting it.

Ever since the arrival of the God's Blade Legion, his heart has never been able to completely calm down.

He could vaguely feel the presence of another powerful mental force, and there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity between him and the other party.

Charles could sense that the telepath's power was even greater than his own.

But compared to his own peace, that heart was filled with resentment, violence and perverse emotions, like some kind of greedy and terrifying beast.

She wanted to kill herself.

Charles didn't quite understand why a telepath he didn't know would have such great malice towards him.

Suddenly, Charles frowned.

His telepathic ability detected that the X-Men were calling him, and Scott urgently asked for help.

In the original timeline, there were only a handful of X-Men, and not all mutants had the ability and strong enough hearts to punish evil and promote good.

But in the timeline influenced by Roche, the X-Men had more fresh blood joining as the X-Academy expanded.

So far, there are probably nearly three hundred X-Men.

They are distributed all over the world to carry out missions, assisting the Earth United Government in combating crimes committed by supernatural forces.

Although Academy X is now a recognized authority on mutants, it does not mean that all mutants are willing to be controlled.

There are always some people who don’t know what they are doing and feel that they are the chosen ones and they must make a difference.

Most of them will only realize their own stupidity and ignorance after being hit hard by the iron fist of reality.

As the most powerful telepath on Earth, Professor X has always been responsible for communication and coordination.

As long as the X-Men around the world call Charles' name, he can feel it and respond.

Now Charles no longer needs the help of external objects such as brain wave amplifiers.

"Los Angeles sent a distress signal. Scott is in trouble." Charles stood up and said.

"Then I'll go and take a look too." Luo Xi was also curious, so he decided to go together.

The two disappeared in the teleportation light, leaving only two cups of tea with ripples.

……

Los Angeles is the second largest city in North America and is also known as the "City of Angels".

But when Luo Xi and Charles arrived, this city with many good reputations had completely transformed into another city.

The once bustling streets were now deserted, with car collisions and accidents visible everywhere.

Some cars were already engulfed in flames, but no rescue workers arrived.

Shocking bloodstains can be seen on the cement road, as well as traces of the X-Men's battle here.

Under the dim street lights, it immediately gives people an instinctive feeling of horror.

Scott is Alex's younger brother, and his mutant ability is to shoot super-high temperature ray shock waves from his eyes.

But compared to Alex who can freely control his abilities, Scott can only rely on special ruby glasses to limit his thermal vision.

He is more powerful, but also more unreliable.

On the surrounding skyscrapers, you can see traces of Scott's thermal vision, and even billowing black smoke.

The young X-Man restrained his powers, otherwise those skyscrapers might have been severed and collapsed.

Luo Xi released his psychic power and began to reverse the time here to see what had happened.

For Luo Xi now, it is not difficult to reverse time and look back to the past.

For powerful psychics, time is not something untouchable.

Soon, Luo Xi saw what had happened in Los Angeles not long ago.

In the darkness of the city, countless shadows appeared and disappeared.

They are like ghosts, twisting their bodies as they move, yet they can freely move through the streets and alleys. Even the hard reinforced concrete cannot stop them at all.

These skinless monsters have solid muscle fibers tangled together like vines.

They either travel directly through entities, or transform into black mist, flickering around and wandering in the city.

They have extremely sharp claws, and their fingertips seem to secrete some kind of high-density biological skeleton, which can trigger high-frequency shock waves when attacking.

Whether it is reinforced concrete or sturdy explosion-proof doors, they are as fragile and ridiculous as paper in front of these claws.

These monsters also have teeth that can easily bite through metal, and extremely flexible flesh tentacles that can extend at will.

This is a monster born entirely for hunting and spreading terror.

Since these monsters appeared in Los Angeles, they were certainly not here for sightseeing.

Luo Xi saw them waving their twisted claws and tails, easily tearing the bodies of some unlucky passers-by.

Compared to the weapons of these monsters, the flesh of ordinary people is as fragile as a toy.

They emerged from the black fog like the demons in the legend.

However, it passed through the sturdy gates and walls as if it were nothing, and even entered the houses to hunt mortals.

Even Luo Xi couldn't see how many of them there were, but their traces were everywhere in the city.

The death toll skyrocketed at a terrifying rate.

However, because this monster likes to hunt humans in secret rooms, the news was stagnant for a short period of time and could not be spread in time.

However, when someone finally realized that something was wrong, tens of thousands of humans had already died tragically at the hands of these shadow monsters.

Those police officers who only had pistols in their hands were targeted and hunted down without any power to resist.

Realizing the impending disaster, the people panicked and called for support from the nearest X-Men.

Scott immediately arrived with a team of X-Men, but when they fought with these monsters, they were horrified to find that they were no match for them.

Although the opponents look like monsters, they have extremely strict organization and incredible combat awareness.

In front of them, Scott felt as ridiculous as a rookie.

"Scott and the others were taken away."

"But he wasn't killed. The monsters wanted him alive."

Luo Xi saw Scott fighting with those monsters, but they had extremely strong self-healing abilities.

Even if you are hit by his heat ray shock wave, you can survive for dozens of seconds.

And this period of time is enough for the X-Men to die dozens of times.

Their ability to flash freely made Scott miserable.

His attack speed depends on how fast he turns his head, and he simply cannot keep up with the speed of these monsters.

"Why would such a damn monster suddenly appear on Earth?"

"Transmutation, space jumping, and super self-healing abilities are all abilities of us mutants."

Charles' face turned pale. Right under his nose, most of the people in a city were slaughtered, but he was completely unaware.

This is incredible.

Luo Xi took a deep breath. He finally understood what the backup plan of the Blade of God was.

The naval fleets of both sides fought in a remote area of the solar system. Such a grand scene undoubtedly attracted the attention of most people.

And in secret, the people of the Blade of the Gods released these extremely hidden and difficult to detect monsters onto the earth.

No, it's not just the Earth. Perhaps other planets in the solar system have also been infiltrated by the minions of the gods.

They did not cause destruction in a big way, but just kept lurking and penetrating deeper into human society, burying this hidden mine deeper and deeper.

As the saying goes, the strongest fortresses often begin to collapse from within.

Humanity has deployed most of its military forces to the edge of the star system, so naturally the defense forces on the planets in the rear will also be reduced.

This is where humans are most vulnerable, and various production bases and logistics departments are all in the safe areas behind.

Once the rear is disrupted, it will naturally lead to severe turbulence in the front-line defense.

"No wonder they launched such a fierce and direct general attack earlier, even causing many losses that could have been avoided."

"Cruel to the enemy, even more brutal to ourselves, this is the style of the God's Blade Legion."

"There's nothing wrong with what Ajax said."

Luo Xi sighed. He had been on high alert for a long time, but was still tricked by the enemies.

This trick was so convincing that he even risked the lives of his own people to cover it up. No wonder he and Polux didn't realize what the enemy's next move was.

According to normal human thinking, it is impossible to send away part of one's own troops to cover up one's tracks.

Then secretly send a special army of unknown number to the enemy's rear.

"Unless they are extremely confident that allowing these monsters to infiltrate our rear will definitely turn the tide of the battle."

"They should be a special type of genetically engineered biochemical weapon, created by highly skilled geneticists to specifically target the enemy's weaknesses."

"I call them Shadow Hunters, which fits their abilities perfectly."

"Can't you use your telepathic abilities to control those monsters?"

Luo Xi saw that Charles looked very bad and asked immediately.

"No, I can only feel that these biochemical weapons do have self-awareness, but they are connected by a much larger spiritual force."

"It's like a hive mind. Their souls and consciousness are all controlled by the existence behind the scenes."

"That being's psychic power is even greater than mine, and she seems to know how to deal with me."

Charles said strangely. It was the first time he felt like he was being targeted.

Even if he wanted to use telepathy to fight the enemy from the God's Blade Legion and collect some useful information.

But the other party perfectly avoided his search, leaving him with nothing.

Luo Xi was also in a dilemma. It was obvious that the enemy deliberately created this kind of biological weapon so that they could be hidden on the earth.

These biological weapons are most likely hidden in some human residential buildings, lying dormant quietly relying on their ability to become virtual.

Unless Roche is willing to relocate all humans and then simply wipe out any hiding place on the planet, there is no way to force them out.

This is even more troublesome than the subspace demons. Those creatures in the subspace will at least be repelled by the veil and cannot stay in the real universe for a long time.

"I will mobilize a force of Sentinel Iron Men to enter major cities and impose martial law. As soon as these biological weapons appear, they will immediately attract the pursuit of the Sentinel Iron Men."

"The best way to deal with enemies that can become invisible is to use the Psionic Think Tank."

"These biological weapons are likely using their virtualization abilities to spread directly to various worlds aboard our transport ships."

Luo Xi also recognized the source of the virtualization ability used by this biological weapon: the phantom cat that will be born in the future.

At this point in time, Phantom Cat has not been born yet, and Luo Xi doesn't know where her parents are.

The mutant's ability mainly manifests itself in virtual travel.

When she enters the virtual state, most objects are no longer obstacles to her, and most weapons cannot hurt the Phantom Cat in the virtual state.

However, when she is in the virtual traveling state, she will not be able to breathe, so she needs to constantly stop her ability to breathe.

In the original timeline, Phantom Cat developed his abilities to the point where he could blur and travel through time.

Under the pursuit of the Sentinel robots, they relied on the Phantom Cat to constantly send other people's consciousness back to the past, thereby warning the past team to change their choices, so that they could escape again and again.

This ability may not seem very powerful, but when it is injected into biological weapons, it becomes extremely troublesome.

Mutants need to breathe, but biological weapons do not. They can remain in a state of virtuality and travel for a long time, like time bombs that are extremely difficult to detect.

These biological weapons will always hide in the dark, exhausting humans through constant harassment.

If these nails stuck in the flesh are not pulled out, the war situation in the entire solar system will probably fall into a cruel quagmire.
