Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 158 The Clown of the Spirit Clan
Gao Yi instructed the biological priests under Lyon who were in charge of cloning technology, as well as a large number of biological priests in the expansion area, to devote themselves to the expansion and improvement of cloning technology.

Although Gao Yi did not have a powerful sage in the field of biology, if the quality was lacking, he would make up for it with quantity.

The injection of substantial funds gave these priests a wealth of opportunities to experiment and make mistakes.

Normally, a sage is lucky to have the resources of an entire planet to sustain him, but the biological priests under Gao Yi have a large number of worlds supplying them with resources at the same time.

Gao Yi is actually against human experimentation, but what he opposes is capturing innocent people or civilians for human experimentation.

The perverse human experimentation practices of the Dark Eldar Bloodbringers are even more unacceptable.

However, with such a large population, there will always be some people who commit unforgivable crimes, and even now, there are still some such scoundrels on Argasus.

Their twisted psychology and thrill-seeking mentality led them to embark on a path of no return, even though they had no worries about food and clothing.

Not to mention the cultists who can never be completely eradicated.

Gao Yi didn't mind using these people, who were going to be executed anyway, as experimental materials.

Human rights are a concept that applies to people, but these people can hardly be called people; they are merely people in appearance and body.

Gao Yi strictly forbids the use of any ordinary human being as a subject for biological experiments.

With the injection of countless consumables, funds, and personnel, the scale of cloning technology is increasing at a visible rate.

The Unity Church's centuries-long experimentation has provided priests with a wealth of basic knowledge and experimental data, which they can use to continuously refine the technique.

When he returned to his office, which belonged to Malfi, a series of work reports from within the dynasty's sphere of influence were already laid out on his desk.

The dynasty's administrative system has become quite sophisticated, and with the help of quantum communication, important events within the dynasty's sphere of influence no longer need to be delayed until they are beyond repair or avoidable before they are dealt with.

While it may seem like the workload has increased temporarily, it has prevented more troublesome problems from arising later.

As Gao Yi flipped through the documents, he was drawn to one in particular.

"The Clown Troupe is performing in multiple worlds within the expanded area?!"

The document also indicates that whenever the dynasty's soldiers received the news and rushed to the place where the clowns were performing, the clowns had already disappeared.

Gao Yi knew that these anomalies among the spirit race had passed the trial of the Laughing God and could protect their souls from being devoured by Slaanesh without wearing soul stones or torturing others.

From the Eldar of the Ark to the most treacherous governors of the Comoros, when these clowns offer their opinions, at least they will listen to what the clowns have to say.

In the eyes of this group of spirits, they are the will of the Laughing God. Although they will not completely obey the clown's orders, they will give them enough respect.

The Jesters have a significant role in Warhammer, having infiltrated the palace and rescued the Primarch. Guilliman wouldn't have been able to be resurrected without the Jesters' help, and even if he had, he might not have been able to return to Terra.

They are guiding and changing the course of the galaxy in their own way.

Even the function and importance of the Black Stone Creatures were told to Doraemon by these clowns.

However, Gao Yi did not consider these clowns to be allies of humanity; their ultimate goal was to restore the former glory of the Elven race.

Once the Eldar's interests are involved, these guys will definitely turn their blades against humanity. The reason they are helping humanity now is simply because they think that humanity can share the pressure from Chaos. Without humanity to withstand Chaos's fiercest attacks, they would be in trouble.

The Eldar, now divided, are even more pathetic than humans.

The appearance of the clowns usually indicates that they are carrying out some kind of plan. One of Warhammer's most famous riddles would not do anything meaningless.

If you think it's meaningless, it's just that you haven't discovered it yet.

When Gao Yi played the Merchant Ronin game, he got a headache just looking at the long, riddle-filled dialogues when encountering the clown.

"Why are these clowns appearing in my territory so frequently?"

Gao Yi always had a feeling that he was being watched.

At that moment, Gao Yi suddenly heard music coming from the main hall.

When Gao Yi pushed open the door, he was surprised to find a makeshift stage erected in the hall below the stairs. Ten brightly dressed performers were dancing and performing to music.

God knows how those guys got in.

Gao Yi also recognized the identities of the group of people from their clothing.

However, the content of the other party's performance was really hard to understand, and the completely illogical performance left Gao Yi dumbfounded.

The clothes of these bean sprouts were so easy to recognize, and no other Eldar would imitate their attire. Gao Yi also sensed powerful psionic energy from one of them, and the scepter-like Mist Scepter in the other's hand indicated that the other was a Shadow Prophet among the clowns.

These guys, like the followers of Tzeentch, enjoy manipulating the threads of fate and carrying out their plans from behind the scenes.

"clown?"

Upon hearing Gao Yi's words, the other party stopped and even bowed to Gao Yi as if taking a bow.

Hearing the commotion, two squads of elite rangers and five Night Guards rushed in.

Facing the gun barrels, the group of clowns showed no sign of panic.

"It seems you have recognized us. We have been searching for you in your world, and with the guidance of the Great Laughing God, we have finally found you here. The Great Laughing God was amazed by the battle between the Lord of Mankind and the evil god in the highest heaven. This is enough to create an unparalleled drama."

The Shadow Prophet said.

Gao Yi didn't reply.

How did these guys get here from the expanded area so quickly? The intelligence indicated they only appeared a few days ago.

The Clowns' group's utilization and understanding of the Eldar's web surpasses that of all Eldar.

Their understanding of the network allowed them to appear in various parts of the galaxy at an extremely fast pace.

The clown's stealth skills, which allowed him to infiltrate the palace, would obviously make infiltrating Gao Yi's office and residence a piece of cake.

"I don't recall ever having any interaction with you clowns, do I? My interactions with other spirits haven't even been pleasant. What brings you here specifically to find me?"

"The final curtain has quietly changed, and several new performers have appeared on the stage... The melody and roar of fate are deafening. When the curtain falls, the world will be destroyed, and only humans and those who submit to you will remain. Wandering and ambitious merchants, do not succumb to your unrealistic fantasies."

If you continue doing this, you will only push humanity to the opposite side of all intelligent beings. If you are willing to give up, we are willing to offer you some usable gateways to the web to help you.

The other party's words made Gao Yi realize that his appearance, coupled with the conflict between the God Emperor and the Four Gods, not only made Chaos aware of Gao Yi's importance, but even made the Laughing God, the only one of the Spirit Race still active in this world, pay attention to his existence.

However, it wasn't an all-out war from the start; they were actually willing to use the internet as a price.

The divine authority of the cunning and the laughing god Gao Yi overlapped somewhat, and the cunning discovered that he could not directly punish Gao Yi.

He conveyed the prophecy he knew to Qiao Gaoqi in some unknown way... Clearly, Xiaoshen was also verifying the truth of the prophecy in his own way.

These Eldar villains have always sought the revival of the Eldar race. No matter which other race becomes dominant, it is not a good thing for the Eldar.

They don't want chaos to engulf reality, but they also don't want humanity to gain an overwhelming advantage.

It's not just the technology Gao Yi possesses now or in the future; his very existence, which gives the God Emperor the possibility of breaking away from the Golden Throne, is enough to make the Elven Race see Gao Yi as a serious threat.

The Eldar who once infiltrated Terra's palace once said that...

"I once mocked Slaanesh to his face, but now I fear this Corpse King."

There are only four evil gods for humans, but there are five evil gods for other races in the Warhammer universe!
It's easy to imagine what kind of existence the God Emperor was in the eyes of the Spirit Race.

"Why do I feel like I've already started down the path of the Wuchao Disaster before I even loaded the Stellaris template?"

If the phase engine is activated, humans can transcend, but other races will face certain death.
