Warhammer 40 Spring: Loyalty of the Multiverse

Chapter 299 Raid on the Lunar Outpost
It's no secret that the Abyss Walkers are now part of the upper echelons of the Lighthouse, and even some ordinary people have vaguely heard rumors about them.

It just doesn't feel real!
The Lighthouse was transformed into an ecological laboratory, so it retains its original name. However, it serves as the research center and starting point for the entire Lighthouse and even the future human empire in this world.

The ecological laboratory was built to be very large, even to the point that it had a spacious area for various experimental subjects to conduct experiments.

Meanwhile, Mark, the Devourer Beast and the ultimate target and experimental project, was kept in the deepest part of the Ecological Experimentation Institute.

Although the Asgardian Army still guards the outside of the laboratory, the laboratory has been expanded and the number of experimental projects has increased.

However, this also greatly increased the number of guards needed and the mobility of personnel. Therefore, the original defense forces on the lighthouse were arranged to defend many of the expanded, less important peripheral projects.

Therefore, thanks to the influence of the Light and Shadow Society, Suiying can easily enter the Ecological Experimentation Institute.

"Yo! Captain Shadow!" A guard who was originally a commoner greeted him with great interest when he saw that the person who came was the original 4068.

After all, 4068 is their legendary idol!

"4167, 4135!" Suiying felt as if he had encountered familiar playmates, and subconsciously forgot those sad things, looking at the two of them with joy.

The Ministry of the Interior did not ask those Dust People to change their names; instead, they continued to use numbers instead!

This way it's easier to keep track of names; we can decide on the names after the next generation of newborns is born!
Moreover, most people these days are not well-educated, so instead of racking their brains to come up with a new name, they might as well stick with their original numerical name.

"You two have really made something of yourselves, managing to become security personnel within the Ecological Research Institute!" Sui Ying said sincerely, putting one hand on each of their shoulders.

"How can anyone compare to you? You are the idol of us commoners! You rose directly from a mere commoner to become a favorite of Lord Charles, the head of the Light and Shadow Society!"

"I heard their benefits are almost on par with city lords! Amazing! I never imagined you'd be so successful when we were kids playing together!"

Suiying laughed and chatted with the two, but everyone present except the three of them was watching them.

The silence made the three of them feel awkward about continuing to use public time to catch up.
"When I have time, I'll treat you two to a good meal!" Sui Ying pounded his chest with his fist and gestured to the communicator on his wrist.

The other two nodded and waved in greeting. As for the black boxes carried by the team members behind Suiying, they were let through without even being checked.

When the group reached the fork in the road, Suiying led half of them toward one side of the road, while the others went toward another side of the road.

One of these two passages leads to the laboratory where the Abyss Dwellers are located, and the other leads to the experimental control area where the Koloto System is located!
Through the video that was handed to him, Tie Hui watched on the tablet screen what the Light and Shadow Society was secretly doing.

"This light and shadow event has really helped us a lot!" Tie Hui shook the tablet in his hand, sat on the outer deck, and looked at the deep starry sky, unable to help but sigh.

The space of soul consciousness inside the Spirit Seed is in an unknown, or even completely independent space from this world.

Similar to the real universe of the Warhammer world, the space of the tundra is a place where many people, through their consciousness and powerful mental strength, can enter and stay briefly using certain special techniques and methods.

But ultimately, just like living people entering the subspace, they are either easily driven mad by the torment, or they are forever lost inside or directly rejected.

The Emperor was now pondering how to mobilize the power of faith within his body the instant the door opened, forcefully squeeze into that space, and seize control.

And now, these guys from the Light and Shadow Society have helped create favorable conditions. Watching those Light and Shadow Society members, posing as maintenance personnel, inspecting the mechanical devices and parts of the Croto system...

Tie Hui and Emperor both revealed sly smiles!

"Although the soul consciousness space in this world has not yet fully evolved into a subspace, its area is enormous! It would be very difficult for me alone to turn it into a subspace unique to us humans!" The Emperor carefully observed the actions of the Light and Shadow Society members on the screen, then relaxed and said with a somewhat heavy expression.

"Is there anything you can't do, sir?" Tie Hui casually raised an eyebrow. "Like the cultivators in those mythical stories of Ancient Terra... refine them in an instant!"

The Emperor shook his head, saying earnestly, "Little Tiezi, it's not as simple as you think! Even if this space is vast, peaceful, and gentle, its area is extremely large. In the original world, even the Four Gods couldn't fully control every corner of the entire subspace. Let alone now that I'm all alone! And most importantly, once this place becomes a base, the population will definitely explode! The terrifying population growth, along with the clashes and fluctuations of thought brought about by the diverse personalities in the soul world, will inevitably affect me!"

Iron Flick fell silent upon hearing this, just like the Warhammer universe!
The four gods appear evil, but the concepts and authority they embody also contain many positive aspects!
It's just that too much death in the universe has led to an accumulation of negative emotions.

The evil side was amplified, and it directly infected these deities who were born from the emotions of intelligent beings.

If everyone in the entire universe were to turn to good, then the Four Gods would probably become heroes too!

But it's probably impossible, considering the countless intelligent beings that have died since the War of Heaven.

"So what do you want to do?" Tie Hui: I don't believe that this old guy who has lived for tens of thousands of years can't come up with a solution after discovering the problem.

"I'm thinking! I can't be the only one who's revered as a god!"

Tie Hui's eyes narrowed upon hearing this. "Haha! You said you wouldn't admit you're a god! You've already admitted it!" The Emperor immediately realized what he meant, narrowed his eyes, and retorted, "That's not what I meant at all, don't interrupt! What I meant was, rather than me being unable to control such a vast soul space, it would be better to select qualified individuals from our group, train them, and eventually have them come to the soul space to become new gods!"

Tie Hui also regained his serious demeanor and said indifferently, "So, just like the Four Gods treat their followers, you are the one to bestow the various rules and authority of this universe upon your chosen believers!"

"That's right! After all, even if the meat rots into mush, it still has to rot in its own family's pot! Let them become the new gods, and I will grant them secondary authority over the rules of this universe! Let them monitor or expand those soul space domains that I cannot perceive or control!"

"If that's the case, then the subspace engine can be used again?" Tie Hui didn't think about the Emperor's talk of becoming a god, since it had nothing to do with him.

Instead, let's think about how to expand our military and prepare for war!
"That's about right! When the spaceship starts navigating this universe, it will be a breeze! However, this space hasn't yet taken the form of subspace and still needs further development! Let me establish dominance first!"

"That's okay too!"

Tie Hui gave a perfunctory reply, then swiped the video aside, watching the lighthouse's speed and distance as it approached the moon.

"I estimate that the moon was probably the first foothold and refuge for the old world government elites when they fled. However, as time went on, it should now have become an outpost!" Tie Hui said, referring to the various life markers that were being scanned on the moon at that moment.

So a red punctuation mark signifies that a healthy, living human being is there, poised to act!

"Are you still going to insist on the population control policy this time?" Tiberius came to his side, clearly having also received the message, and asked.

The lighthouse has a small population!

With the renovation of the lighthouse, it can easily accommodate tens of thousands of people!
Even with a complete system in place, technological development still requires an extremely large population to be fully realized.

Tie Hui did not answer immediately, but said, "The Emperor said that he had Guilliman prepare an expeditionary fleet in the original world, ready to be deployed at any time. The resources and personnel for the expansion are plentiful and have undergone extremely strict screening, and they are all in excellent health!"

He paused for a moment, then said somewhat impatiently, "I guess most of them are second sons of noble families!"

"Then let's just get rid of these native inhabitants of this world?" Tiberius asked tentatively.

Tie Hui sat there motionless, staring at the sky, while Tiberius stood beside him, not daring to utter a sound.

Until a very long time!

"I think we should just forget about it! We can eliminate the elite population that controls power and resources! Let the rest stay, after all, they are natives of this world! We can let the people who expand the expeditionary fleets integrate with them and create more new humans who can adapt to the rules of this world! Maybe in two or three generations, when the Emperor's plan succeeds, we can start selecting new recruits!"

"Yes!"

Moon!

On the far side of the moon, there is a basin with a continuous stretch of metal industrial structures, which looks like an industrial chip from space!
This is a survival base built by the elites of the old world government who exhausted their resources when they came here in the early years.

As time went by!
They could gradually expand until most of the people migrated to Mars, which slowly became an outpost for monitoring Earth's movements!
And now!
This outpost welcomed its first visitors!
Everyone in the entire base is ready to go!

These anti-aircraft weapon arrays have been deployed deep into the moon's interior, with the base itself riddled with traps in some corridors and corners.

Tie Hui and his team didn't have much tactical discussion; they could perfectly deal with this kind of enemy using only the Astartes Codex.

Inside several makeshift, airtight cabins, hastily welded together, were crammed full of fully armed Astartes!

There were six short positions, with a total of 20 extreme warriors.

And the shark cans are the guards on the outside!
Their mission was to eliminate the high-powered anti-aircraft weapons hidden in the corners to prevent them from harming the subsequent receiving troops of the lighthouse!

Meanwhile, the various anti-aircraft weapons already installed on the lighthouse have advanced technology and range, naturally extending further than the anti-aircraft arrays at this outpost on the moon.

Open fire first!
The short positions plummeted downwards!

Meanwhile, the Astral Army, acting as the supervisory force, urged the newly recruited Wilderness Hunters who had just completed their training to keep up.

The battle broke out immediately, and the situation became one-sided from the moment the two sides made contact!
The Astartes' terrifying combat and defensive capabilities meant that any weapon fired at the outposts only managed to produce a few sparks when it hit the terracotta armor.

The one-sided battle was not broken until a humanoid target wearing bulky biological armor and wielding a chainsaw appeared!
