This Warhammer game is awesome!!

Chapter 189 This glory is not something I can enjoy alone.

The robot that appeared before the veterans and spoke was humanoid.
It looks a bit like a skinless Terminator, its entire body made of black metal.

A special blaster gun was held on the skeletal, mechanical wrist.
Its eyes were hollowed out, radiating a faint glow of energy, making no attempt to conceal its naked malice.

Behind it are alien robots, such as scorpion-shaped or canine-shaped ones.

Further away, there stood many fighter soldiers with tracks implanted in their lower bodies and various weapons and scanning arrays installed on their upper bodies.

"Logical error. This area belongs to Mars and is inhabited by humans."

Kaur was the first to react and spoke up to refute the robot.

“You are just as greedy as your ancestors,” the robot said. “You claim everything within your sight as your own, and then use that as an excuse to wage war.”

"Aren't you the same? You've seized this place and then claimed we're the invaders," the veteran retorted.

As a high-quality gamer, you must be skilled at arguing and fighting to protect your parents.

The robot fell silent after being struck by those words, and only spoke again after a moment.
"No matter what, this place belongs to us. Leave immediately and promise never to come back, or we will launch an attack."

“No, this place belongs to the Mechanicus, to the Empire, but not to you.”

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

As Kaul refuted the question, he scanned the robot in front of him.
"Why ask when you already know the answer? I am the very thing you call the abhorrent intelligence."

“Abomination of Intelligence, what a blasphemous and wicked name! Compared to your ancestors, you have no respect for us.”

The robot's voice had distinct inflections.

It's obvious that an emotion module has been installed, capable of simulating human emotions like joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.
"That's your own fault; you've betrayed humanity."

The veteran shouted,

"Humanity's first empire fell because of the wars you started, and you should have been completely destroyed."

"Put down your weapons, or you will become a pile of sparking wreckage and garbage."

"Organic, are you threatening us?" the robot responded angrily.

"This is not a threat, it's a notification. Lay down your weapons immediately, or we will open fire and turn you to pieces."

The veteran activated the various weapons implanted within his body.

Guns of all sizes were activated, their muzzles flashing with energy as they were pointed at the robots.

The robots also reacted quickly.
The situation suddenly became extremely tense.

"Perhaps we should all have a calm and rational discussion."

The robot's attitude softened.

"Going to war would not benefit either of us."

The experienced person was just about to ask the other party how they planned to negotiate.
Suddenly, Caul spoke up.

“Something’s not right. The data network has been compromised. A mysterious force is trying to tamper with the codes of the servants and the Guardians in an attempt to gain control.”

"These guys are stalling for time so their masters can use cyber intrusion to eliminate us." Wu Mou immediately understood the whole story.

These intelligent machines weren't trying to communicate with them at all; they were just trying to buy time.

The experienced pilot made a decisive decision: "Fire! Take them out first."

Then, he pulled the trigger of the molten steel gun in his hand, its muzzle flashing a scorching red light.
He fired at the humanoid robot in front of him.

The scorching beam of light made a sharp cracking sound in the air before piercing through the opponent's body, leaving a wound that glowed red due to the heat.

A hint of human-like astonishment flickered across the robot's metallic face; it hadn't expected these humans to be so decisive.

The next second, it was finished off by the veteran's finishing shot.

The robots quickly launched a counterattack.

A fierce battle broke out between the two sides.

The player's weapons and tactics are far superior to the robot's.

After making some sacrifices, the veteran team still managed to annihilate all the robots, destroying them all.

Why are omnics here?

The old bird walked up to a spider-like robot that only had a head and a leg left.

A mechanical tentacle attached to the spine extended and picked up the spider's head.

A data probe is inserted into the mechanical skull to read the robots' data and obtain intelligence.

Unfortunately, nothing was found.

“Let’s go, the answer might be inside.” Caul looked into the depths of the ruins shrouded in darkness.

According to the blueprints left behind by Lava City, they are already very close to the core area, and it will take them at most half an hour to arrive.

Several more battles were fought along the way.
The enemies are all modified servants and androids.
There are various beast-like robots and deformed combat automatons.

There are also humanoid killing machines dressed in mimicry disguises.

A palm-sized drone that can fire lasers

A worm-like machine that is several tens of centimeters tall but has sharp limbs.

They kept pouring out, trying to stop the players' progress.

Unfortunately, they all failed.

The players stepped over the wreckage and debris and arrived at the core of Lava City.

However, the place was not a ruin as they had imagined; instead, it was rebuilt by some force.

After climbing through a corridor piled with metal debris,

A metal city built underground appears before the player.
The roar of geothermal engines echoed from deep within the city.
You can see a surging flow of energy flowing through the pipes, emitting a bright glow that illuminates the dark underground.

"How come there's a city here?" the veteran asked, sounding somewhat surprised. "Wasn't Lava City destroyed during the Horus Rebellion?"

"I don't know either!!" Caul's otherwise pale, metallic face showed a look of bewilderment.
“Let’s go, the answer might be in the city,” Wu Mou said.

"There may be a fierce and bloody battle."

"Come on, who is the final boss? I'm itching to find out."

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Charge! Charge!"

"........."

Filled with excitement, the players stepped into the underground city.

The magnificent buildings remained deathly silent; every single one was empty.
The deeper they went, the more confused they became. What exactly was going on?

Why is there a city in the core of the lava city, which should be ruins?

Why are these modified servants and androids here?
Players will explore and occasionally encounter omnipotent machines and modified servants, engaging in battles with them.

But veterans and others always manage to win easily.

After another battle, they arrived at the center of the city.

A magnificent hemispherical building appeared before them.

As they stepped inside, they were stunned by what they saw.

A dense network of cables hangs from the spherical dome, intricately intertwined to form a large net.

At the heart of this large net is a glowing metal sphere.

"What the hell is this?" the veteran exclaimed, his eyes wide. "Don't tell me this is the Akashic Reader."

Kaul initiated a scan, performing a comprehensive analysis of the sphere.
"This sphere appears to be the Akashic Reader, but it's combined with something else."

The Great Sage walked over and stood on a data node.
He then pulled a data cable out of his body.
At the end of the cable, countless silver threads extended, spread, and twisted.

Kaul placed the data cable on the metal control panel.

The silver thread at the end then grows automatically, connects to the data node, and begins reading information.

He first replaced the bullets in the bomb gun, and then guarded the Great Sage together with his servant.

Veteran players and the reckless ones stared at Kaul in astonishment.

As expected of a great sage, he has many methods.

The metallic sphere changed; its smooth surface disappeared, revealing countless interlocking gears in operation.

At the same time, it extends tentacles equipped with interface pillars and molecular collectors, absorbing basic elements and information from the air.

Just as the players were marveling at the unusual state of the original metal,

The dull sound of footsteps came from the darkness, drawing the players' attention back.

Five massive fighter soldiers appeared and issued a warning, demanding that the intruders leave immediately.

"Is this the BOSS?"

"Judging from this design, it looks like a Domita-type intelligent machine soldier."

"I heard that Peturabo's Iron Ring Robot was built based on the Domita-type intelligent mechanical soldier."

"Scatter, scatter."

"Watch out for its beams and missiles."

The players naturally wouldn't obediently leave.

They immediately sprang into action, scattering and taking cover behind bunkers.
Fire at the androids to protect the Great Sage from harm while he reads the data.

The Domita-type mech was an assault-type mech introduced by the Mechanicus during the later stages of the Great Crusade. It possessed a skeletal system that could absorb impact while maintaining internal armor.

This allows it to rampage through enemy lines like a tank, easily crushing ordinary people.
It also possesses a gravity hammer directly connected to the reactor; the destructive force of this weapon can easily destroy enemy tanks.
Even the fearless could only manage a draw when facing them.

However, as these intelligent mechanical soldiers enter service...

Other factions within the empire grew wary of the Mechanicus.

Production of this series of omnipotent units ceased after the Horus Rebellion.

I just don't know why there are five of them here!
The combat capability of the five Domita mechs is beyond doubt.
Peturabo's modified iron ring robots, based on these prototypes, can even suppress the originals.

These five Domita mechs cooperated very well, possessed intelligence comparable to humans, and fought with fearlessness.
Normally, they would be sufficient to deal with any creature that enters this area.

Even the Astartes would suffer heavy casualties.

Unfortunately, they encountered players—a group that finds pleasure in war and death and frequently resorts to self-destruction.
After a series of brutal battles, the players were either dead or wounded.
In the end, seven players sacrificed themselves to completely destroy the five Domita mechs, blasting them into pieces.

At this time, Kaul also finished reading the data.

They learned why this city was located here, and the identity of the metallic sphere.

“This thing,” Caul pointed to the metallic sphere, “is a fusion of the Akashic Reader and the Myriad Thoughts.”

Veteran: "…………"

Wu Mou: "…………"

What kind of weird combination is this?
How could the Akashic Reader, powered by psionic energy, and the soulless omnipotent machine, the Myriad Thoughts, be fused together?
The Ever-Changing Mindset is a technological masterpiece of humanity's golden age, an incredibly advanced artificial intelligence system.
A cold and computationally sophisticated logic engine that constantly absorbs, strengthens, and replicates anything in its path.

The Book of Changes was discovered by Primarch Ferrus Manus in the central region of the Limitless Starfield during the Great Crusade, and was subsequently handed over to the Mechanicus for management.

This thing is so advanced that if you threw it in front of the Tau people, those blue-skinned people would weep bitterly, feeling that their AI was like primitive Tau that had never evolved.

"This is a long story, it begins with the Horus Rebellion..."

Kaul began to recount the whole story.
………………

A secluded mansion in Terra.

Former Minister of the Interior – Iltu Hitmon.

Former Pope Bardo Sleist,

Former navigator family representative – Jora Rama,
In addition, there is the current Minister of Justice, Avilisa Drakma.

Field Marshal Moore A. Shalil
Admiral Mereday Perez
The master assassin – Fadix.

These were all people who once stood at the highest point of the imperial power system.

Now, they gather together in various forms, such as in real people or through holographic projections.
"We can't wait any longer; the sage is constantly shrinking our space."

"We can no longer sit idly by and wait for our demise. Reforms must stop, or everything will fall into an abyss."

Iltu Simotern spoke first.
Qin Yun's series of actions made him realize that his original plan was completely collapsing.
Guilliman intended to gain prestige by cracking down on cults, thereby undermining Guilliman's administrative foundations and restoring Terra to its former state.

But the other party's ability to act was stronger than he had imagined.
Things are starting to get out of control.

“What should we do?” Baldo Sleist asked.

“Take control of the situation on Terra and restore everything to its original state,” Iltu Simotern said. “The Minotaur Chapter will obey our orders, and many families are also on our side. This is a powerful force.”

"If we cannot save Terra, then let Terra burn."

"Only a raging fire can cleanse all sin and depravity."

"Only by returning to the old political model can the empire survive."

"You want us to start a rebellion?" Drachmar frowned.

"Failure is called betrayal; success is called revolution."

"It's either resist or die; we have no other choice."

Iltu Simotern spoke with a firm tone, his eyes flashing with madness, revealing an ambitious look.

"Do you have a specific action plan?" the admiral asked.

"First, send someone to take control of the Speaker—Anna Murza Jack, the new Minister of the Interior and the new Starbeam Director. Their base on Terra is very weak, and no one will support them."

“What about the ‘Saint’?” Baldo Slater asked. “That guy is our biggest problem.”

"Just as an emperor should never awaken, a 'sage' should only remain high above and should not interfere in worldly rule."

Iltu Simotern looked at the Assassin Master.

“I believe the Assassin Court is capable of solving this problem. We don’t need him to die, we just need him to leave temporarily.”

The assassin's power is beyond doubt.
Throughout the empire's long history, they had carried out numerous assassination missions.

They have appeared in various forms, including alien leaders, rebels, and so on.

The Assassins' Court even has a history of successfully assassinating Primarchs.
After the Horus rebellion ended,

The Assassins' Court then dispatched a Calidus assassin to assassinate the Midnight Wanderer—Conrad Coz.

The plan was an unprecedented success, and Conrad Coates died at the hands of the assassins as predicted.

It's worth mentioning that Callidus is one of the temples under the Assassin's Court that specifically trains assassins.

There are six such temples in the Assassin's Court.

The Temple of Callidus, known for its ability to conceal itself

The Temple of Churisas, skilled in psychic arts

Skilled at long-range sniping at the Temple of Vendica

Iverson's Temple, known for his ability to eliminate threats completely.

The Temple of Vennam, known for its expertise in using poison.

A master of bio-engineering, capable of transforming into the Temple of Vanus of any race.

The six great temples formed the foundation of the Assassin's Court, and the assassins they trained were a precious legacy of the Empire.

Fadix nodded. "I will take action. The Saint will be temporarily unable to control Terra."

"........."

Iltu Simotern looked once more at the people who had participated in this secret meeting.

"The day of revolution will not last long, but its glory will last forever."

"I will not keep this honor to myself."

………………

Terra Palace.

Qin Yun had just finished dealing with government affairs and was about to get up to rest when he suddenly froze, turned to look into the darkness, and frowned.

“The senses of a sage are truly beyond imagination; you discovered me the moment I entered the room.”

The voice came from the darkness, and the assassin master Fadix, dressed in a long robe, emerged silently from the corner like a ghost.

Qin Yun laughed.

"Is this the skill of an assassin master? He was able to sneak into my room without a sound."

“I’m sorry to have made you laugh, Saint,” said Fadix.

"Master, can you tell me how you got in?" Qin Yun asked.

“Your security measures are very tight, but nothing in this world is perfect. If you are willing to put your mind to it, you can always find loopholes.”

“From the moment I was born, I was taught how to hide myself and safely navigate those loopholes.”

As Fadix explained, he bowed to Qin Yun.

"Then why did you infiltrate this place?" Qin Yun sized up the Grand Instructor, sensing no hostility from him.
Clearly, Fadix is ​​not an enemy.

“I have come to assassinate you,” Fadix said. “Considering the difficulty of this mission, I have come in person.”

"Assassinate me?" Qin Yun laughed. "You're standing with those conservatives? You want to end the reforms and restore the empire to its previous ruling model by assassinating me."

“No, I stand only on the side of the Emperor and the Empire,” Fadix said.

"But I am the Emperor's envoy," Qin Yun said with a half-smile.

Fadix took out a dagger, grasped the blade, and handed the hilt to Qin Yun.

"Then I will stand with you in your camp."

"Before the Primarch left, he had a conversation with me. He said that when you start reforms, the conservatives and those who have lost out will definitely jump out."

"He hopes I can assist you in uncovering the source of Terra's corruption, thereby reshaping this ancient world."

“But according to my intelligence, you are also a conservative, Grand Mentor,” Qin Yun said.

“I am merely a conservative, which does not mean I will betray you.” The Grand Master gave a wry smile. “I do not like your reforms, but you are the God-Emperor’s envoy, so I will pledge my loyalty to you.”

"Then why are you still trying to assassinate me?" Qin Yun asked.

“I just think you need an excuse to get the traitor to come forward,” the Grand Master said.

P.S.: I apologize for yesterday's incident. I forgot to charge my phone when I went out, so I didn't post the delayed update notice in time.

It's my fault for making everyone wait in vain.

As always, the minimum is 10,000 today.
