Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 198 Artificial Soulless Beings

Looking at the clone in front of him, Gao Yi was thankful that it didn't look like a hybrid from interstellar space, otherwise it would have been quite creepy.
However, although its appearance is still completely humanoid, if its genes are tested, a gene sequence unique to the Zerg will be found.

Inside this secret laboratory is also a Zerg hatchery, whose sole purpose is to provide the Zerg eggs needed for the experiments of the Biological Sages.

“Pavlian, arrange an experiment. I want to see the results.”

"I'll make arrangements right away!"

To test the limits of the three's psychic abilities, Gao Yi brought in Artanis.

"Are you sure you want me to unleash my psionic powers on these 20 humans?"

"That's right! Take it slow, don't go all out at once."

Artanis mobilized his psionic energy and attempted to attack the three, but the psionic energy was completely absorbed before it even touched their bodies.

As their genetic traits began to take effect, Gao Yi also sensed that the Xel'Naga's warp projection was starting to operate, and the psionic energy they absorbed was also being devoured by the Xel'Naga.

The only pity is that they won't be nourished by spiritual energy and have their bodies strengthened like Gao Yi absorbed it himself.

Their physical strength level is only slightly higher than that of ordinary clone soldiers.

As Artanis's released psionic energy continued to increase, Gao Yi also knew the limit of psionic energy that these people could absorb.

The three of them together could at least nullify the psionic energy of an ordinary think tank member of the Blood Raven Legion.

When they get close enough, they can also disrupt psykers' links to the warp.

Although the cost of manufacturing them was high, we are still very satisfied with the actual results.

Gao Yi didn't need these clone soldiers with special abilities to operate in organized groups. What he wanted was for these special clones to move along with the main force in small squads.

What he needs is to give his mortal troops a certain ability to counter enemy psionicists and demons, and to make greater use of the combat advantages of his basic soldiers.

“Pavian, I will allocate more resources to you. Just tell Rebecca if you need anything! The large number of Eldar warship fragments and weapons we just captured should find buyers soon, and she should have plenty of money to spare!”

Hearing Gao Yi's words, Pavian also smiled.

Every time he asked Rebecca for money or supplies, she would make excuses. With Gao Yi's orders, he wanted to see what other reason Rebecca would have to refuse.

"Thank you, my lord! With sufficient funds and supplies, I will certainly expand this army for you as soon as possible!"

Since Gao Yi's influence reached the Calissis Sector, the Dynasty's trade scope has expanded significantly. Rebecca, who was currently contacting Alliance caravans to find buyers for these alien creations in the Calissis Sector, originally thought that the Dynasty's funds would become much richer because of this wave.

She never expected that before the products were even sold, Gao Yi had already distributed the profits.

Gao Yi could foresee that Rebecca would definitely come to complain to him again. After tricking Rebecca, Gao Yi fled back to the Star Pioneer and let Pavian deal with Rebecca himself.

With the success of these special experimental subjects, Gao Yi's idea of ​​building an anti-psychic force is also being further realized.

Others in this world may not know the devastation of the upcoming Battle of Kadia, but he does. When the demon legions pour out of the warp like they're free, even conventional armies equipped with combat suits will suffer enormous losses.

This problem was discovered during the battle against the Khorne demon legions instigated by the Winsterkel dynasty: the protection offered by physically robust armor is limited when facing weapons imbued with warp magic.

The advantage of psionic power in this world is still too great. Gao Yi, back in his room, began to connect to the warp projection. The Emperor's sun still hung high, but since the last battle with the Four Gods, the Emperor was still suppressing himself and had not yet recovered.

Gao Yi had not heard the Emperor's voice for a long time.

"Are you still there, sir? I have something I'd like to ask you!"

Gao Yi didn't expect to receive a reply so soon after he finished speaking.

The Emperor, who had been suppressing his emotions and had no energy to observe the outside world, fell silent after hearing about Gao Yi's recent experiences.

The meaning expressed by the Divine Emperor left Gao Yi speechless.

Damn it, I've worked my butt off for years to prepare for this whole online project, and just when I finally got a decent start and created an entry point, my son called and ruined it all.

I'm stuck sitting on this toilet and can't get away.

You're telling me now that you destroyed an Eldar ark, acquired a warship, and suddenly gained the ability to open the net passage?
Humans have been through the Internet before, but the ability to open it at will is something they have never possessed before.

The emperor retorted, "Then what about all my previous efforts? Answer me! Look me in the eye! Tell me why!!"
Hey kid, are you some kind of ancient saint reincarnated? The more I look at you, the more you seem like one!

The warp energy surrounding your warp projection looks just like the ancient saints still exist and the sea of ​​souls is still very calm!

They even created different alien creatures! Isn't this just like the ancient saints creating life?!
"Don't talk nonsense... I'm not one of those toads, there's no need to get so angry."

Shouldn't you be hoping for something good for me? My good fortune is humanity's good fortune. The warp technology will soon be completely broken through and will eventually be yours. The Web Channel isn't as important as you think anymore. The only good thing now is that the Eldar can no longer use the Web Channel as a safe haven!

Moreover, without a route map, going in is pointless; where you go is entirely up to luck. But Emperor, the Spirit Race has now completely set their sights on me; these guys really want my life!

Although they can't do anything to me now, it's still a real nuisance if they suddenly attack me at any time. Do you have any way to find out that Laughing God of the Spirit Clan? It's all because of this guy causing trouble behind the scenes!

If I die, I'll lose everything I have now!

Unfortunately, Gao Yi did not get the answer he wanted. Perhaps the power of the Laughing God was insignificant in front of the Emperor, but this guy could hide. In fact, this guy might not even be in the subspace, but hiding in some unknown place in the network.

At this moment, probably no one in the entire galaxy understands the Webway better than him, and once he hides in a intact section of the Webway, the forces of the warp will be powerless against him.

Gao Yi then spoke to the God Emperor about the possible future events between the Spirit Race and His son, Guilliman.

She also expressed her desire to try to use her own power to save Guilliman.

The God Emperor also affirmed Gao Yi's idea, after all, the Xel'Naga's ability to devour and purify was unmatched even by the God Emperor himself.

Given Gao Yi's current ability to withstand the divine power unleashed by the God Emperor in a short period of time, he should still be able to disintegrate the warp poison brought by the Demon Primarch Fugen.

However, if Gao Yi went directly to the group of Smurfs, they would definitely kick him out, and the God Emperor also said that he would help Gao Yi gain the trust of the Ultra Warriors if necessary.

Regardless, Guilliman still needs to be resurrected; his operational capabilities are simply terrifying.

I can bring technology to the humans of Warhammer, but I really can't learn how to manage things.

Gao Yi found it incredible that Guilliman could create a star system like the 500 Worlds of Alteramar in the absurd environment of Warhammer.
