Warhammer 40 Spring: Loyalty of the Multiverse

Chapter 293 Landing at the Lighthouse
"Wow, is this what the lid of the big pot looks like? I didn't expect it to be so big!" Xia Dou, sitting in the passenger seat of the car, leaned out and marveled at the size of the lighthouse like a country bumpkin visiting the Grand View Garden.

"We're far away, so of course it looked small back then." Shan Da munched on a naan bread. He had been busy transporting the technology, supplies, and people of Longgu Village to the lighthouse, and this was the first time he had eaten a meal.

"Yes, I heard that the Empire has begun a large-scale renovation of the Lighthouse, and it can easily accommodate 5 people!" Xu Tong, wearing his theatrical mask and carrying a skateboard, also stuck his head out from the back seat to look at the surrounding scenery.

"It doesn't look that big!" Ulan Maiduo sat in the car behind, resting her chin on her arm, and looked on with interest.

At this moment, Bai Yuetian's voice gradually emerged from behind her, "That's because the human field of vision isn't that wide. If you were to compare the size of the entire lighthouse from a human perspective, you would find that the lighthouse is quite large!"

As she spoke, Bai Yuetian stretched out her soft arm and tapped Wulan Maiduo on the head, saying with a somewhat arrogant expression, "Especially for a little kid like you who has just come of age, that lighthouse is an enormous existence!"

Ulan Maiduo stared at Bai Yuetian speechlessly, "Has no one said you're despicable?"

Bai Yuetian was a little annoyed when he heard this. "Hey, is this how you talk to your elders? You should know that I'm older than your grandfather!"

Ulan Maiduo rolled her eyes upon hearing this!
Ding ding—

Just then, a child from Dragon Bone Village behind Bai Yuetian tapped the iron ball containing his head.

This caught Bai Yuetian's attention, and he turned around and said arrogantly, "What are you doing, little brat?"

The child was startled, then overjoyed and hugged the ball tightly, exclaiming, "Big ball!"

This immediately terrified Bai Yuetian, who kicked wildly with his short limbs!

Bai Yuekui couldn't help but frown at the commotion coming from the car behind him.

The residents on both sides of the main road above the lighthouse also cast curious glances at the sudden arrival of the unfamiliar convoy.

In particular, the attire of those in the convoy who leaned out, lit the lighthouse, and greeted them warmly made some of the lighthouse staff feel out of place.

It wasn't just the difference in clothing; more importantly, the enthusiasm of these unfamiliar locals was a bit too much.

They were completely different from the people on the lighthouse!
Some people even felt envious or jealous of this group of cheerful people on the ground, for some reason.

Some of the upper-class citizens, still enjoying the benefits of their privileged lifestyle, scoffed, "A bunch of local natives, they've never seen the world!"

These sarcastic remarks were clearly heard by some people in Dragonbone Village. Although they showed displeasure, they ultimately made no comment.

Bai Yuekui had obviously heard these unpleasant words, but her expression remained calm.

However, Xia Dou, sitting in the passenger seat, shrank back into her seat somewhat timidly. "Boss, why do I feel like they don't welcome us?"

Bai Yuekui didn't say anything, but Shan Da, sitting on the roof of the car, knocked on the roof. He looked at the lighthouse people around him with hostility. "Hmph! Isn't it obvious? If the ecology hadn't suddenly gone crazy, who would want to climb onto this big pot lid? They better pray they don't mess with us, otherwise, I'll let these guys taste the power of the Awakened!"

Xu Tong said nonchalantly, "I'd like to know if the people on these lighthouses can handle my handsome looks?"

Everyone "..."

While everyone else wore different expressions, Bai Yuekui remained calm and composed.

Everyone knew about the grudges between Lighthouse and their boss, but now they were just living under someone else's roof!
Although the empire's leaders promised to send the Abyssbounds back, it was merely a verbal promise.

Since circumstances are beyond their control, they can only pray that the other party doesn't break their promise!
Inside the city lord's council hall, Morgan stood with his hands behind his back, his body hunched over, silently watching the long convoy of cars on the main road below.

In fact, he received the news as soon as the convoy arrived, and he also knew who the visitors were through the surveillance cameras.
Although I really didn't want these people to go up to the lighthouse, it was the order from those tin can men.

He was well aware of the past grievances between the lighthouse and the people on the ground, so now all he could do was pray that the lighthouse wouldn't cause any more major trouble.

After all, they were wrong to do what they did back then!
But no matter what, it was beyond his control; he had lost all power. He was powerless to stop the current situation and could only sigh silently.

When Charles of the Light and Shadow Society learned that this huge convoy had reached the lighthouse, he remained indifferent and aloof.

After all, no matter how many of these natives who climbed the lighthouse were, they were just ordinary mortals!

When you arrive at the lighthouse, you must abide by its rules; after all, he is the head of the Light and Shadow Society!
Controlling this group is a piece of cake, and once he has them under his control, it will be a huge asset to him!
"If you have the chance, please arrange a meeting with the leader of this group! As the head of the Light and Shadow Society, he has the right to influence the people protected by the Lord of Light and Shadow!" Charles said without even looking up, as he looked at the philosophy books from the Old World that he had brought from the ground.

"Yes, Master!"

"Light cleanses my soul, shadow shelters my body!"

The next moment, the prayers of the believers in light and shadow rang out again in the arena!

This time, the arrival at Dragonbone Village was led by As Teres. They first packed up and came to the base to make final preparations.

Then, under the handover by the Star Guardians at the lighthouse, they boarded the lighthouse, and most importantly, the Space Ribs also boarded the lighthouse together.

Tarasin was dressed in extremely gorgeous human clothing, imitating the demeanor of a Western feudal nobleman on Earth, and walked forward with an arrogant air.

The necromancers and scorpion lords beside him were also dressed in extremely imposing and bright colors, making him look very impressive at this moment.

He now possesses a vague understanding of emotions, and although he lacks a soul, the extraction of life essence from within the Spirit Seed through experiments still brings him immense satisfaction!
As one of the last members of the team to board the lighthouse, he looked utterly disgusted. Although his mechanical, metallic, skull-like face concealed his true expression, those who came to take over the work on the lighthouse could still sense the aura of disdain emanating from him.

In particular, several dispatchers from the Shangmin District were secretly discussing things privately.

"Is this artificial intelligence?"

"They look very similar!"

Why does it feel like he looks down on us?

"Really? I can't feel it!"

"Hey, those lighthouse natives over there!" Tarasin scanned the surrounding carbon-based organisms and immediately locked onto the lighthouse natives.

Seeing the few upper-class citizens whispering among themselves, he clearly knew they were talking about him behind his back. So he simply pointed directly at the lighthouse residents and told them to come down.

"Give us a spacious and comfortable area!" Tarasin said with a hint of disdain as the group of upper-class citizens ran over. "And whatever you mean, we don't need any of those so-called power outlets! That's low-end, primitive technology, like how humans used to make fire by rubbing sticks together!"

He then produced his personal identification information and had it compared with the information provided by the residents of the lighthouse.

"And our things must be kept very carefully. If there's even the slightest bump, I'll throw you down to feed the Devouring Beasts. Who knows, the Spirit Seeds extracted from those Devouring Beasts might still contain some of your undisturbed life essence!" Tarasin turned and gestured with his chin towards the massive and strange equipment in the open space behind him.

He spoke with an even more arrogant tone, which made the citizens of the lighthouse look ugly and indignant. However, they glanced at the terrifying green cleaver in the hand of the tall Wild Scorpion Lord around them.

He could only take a deep breath and suppress his anger!

With that casual slash, they'd definitely be cut in two!

"Okay...okay!" He instructed a few of his men to carry out the mechanical transport, while he himself gestured for them to proceed and led the way toward the area of ​​the undead skeletons.

"My lord!" Just then, a necromancer noble quietly approached Tarasin's side. "We've spared no effort in helping humanity, but what will we do if the Silent King looks down on this place?"

Upon hearing this, Tarasin glanced at the undead nobleman behind him.

After a moment of silence, it seemed as if he was taking a deep breath to calm his anxious mood.

He then took out a device shaped like a soda can from his pocket, and then took out a spirit seed wrapped in mechanical metal from an iron box in the hand of a necromancer behind him.

Then, it was attached to the bottom of the can, followed by pulling out several ropes that resembled cables and pressing them onto the head.

He shook the can, pressed the button, and the life essence inside the Spirit Seed was instantly extracted and began to be transformed and transferred into Tarasin's mechanical life form.

This made him stop in his tracks, his hands tightly gripping his waist, and he bent backward with all his might, trying to stretch his entire body's bones to a great extent.

Because the moment these life-generating substances entered him, he felt as if he had become a carbon-based life form again.

The heaviness that comes with long periods of sleep and rest makes him want to stretch and relax his bones.

However, the metallic body prevented him from releasing that heaviness, so the more he tried, the more uncomfortable he became, until finally his entire body was trembling.

The undead nobles and the scorpion lord standing nearby turned a blind eye, clearly having grown accustomed to this.

Only the people and dust dwellers on the lighthouses at the front and back were somewhat afraid, watching Tarasin mimicking a human stretching motion.

"Whether they agree or not, the agreement has been reached, and we'll enter the core after we return. I have no objection if they just watch from the sidelines! But if they interfere and try to stop us..." Tarasin patted the undead noble on the shoulder, explaining earnestly, "then we'll just fight again!"

The necromancer nobles remained silent, heads bowed. After their leader had consumed the life essence, these lower-ranking officials had also had a taste.

That feeling was intoxicating. Their thinking, which was originally based on artificial intelligence, became more human-like.

"Don't tell me you can quit these things now!" Tarasin's body was trembling slightly, and a hint of red light flickered in his green eyes.

"So, who can we fight? All of them?"

"That's it!" Tarasin exclaimed, hearing his nobleman's question. "Another war in Heaven!"

These words made the undead nobles behind him tremble. They were highly intelligent beings who had survived from ancient times.

Although most of them were born at the end of the War of Heaven, that brutal battle has remained etched in their memories for millions of years.

Even the later battles between the human empire, the Eldar, and the Zerg did not greatly shock them!

Of course, this is also because they have become mechanical beings!
