Warhammer: Expedition to the Multiverse from 30k

"That is definitely not a living creature. The scanning device built into my power armor has confirmed that its skeleton and internal structure have been completely shattered. First, it was burned by the high temperature of the atmosphere, and then it crashed to the ground, smashing all its structures."

Even if it is not burned to ashes, the shock wave formed when it falls to the ground is enough to turn flesh, blood, bones and other organic matter into ashes.

Everything revealed a weird atmosphere. Out of caution, Dorlo Yingjie called for support from the director of the think tank.

The think tank director did not find much after several investigations. The body, which had been burned beyond recognition, showed no suspicious signs of witchcraft except that it seemed to have traveled through the subspace.

"Sir, I have placed the body in a secret base outside Macragge. It is guarded by a company of Ultramarines veterans, and the pharmacist is ready to take samples for testing."

Faced with something of unknown origin, it was naturally impossible for Dorlo to take it back to where the Father of Genes was.

"And I have ordered the Untouchables Tactical Team to send some personnel to station deep inside the base to guard the body together."

Dorlo's work style is extremely meticulous and he takes into account potential crises in all aspects.

"Then what do you want to ask me to do? The body has been completely burned to charcoal." Luo Xi was a little puzzled.

Could it be possible that the corpse that had turned into charcoal could suddenly be resurrected on the spot?

There are not so many immortals. Just a piece of black charcoal falling from the sky will become one.

"In fact, I have a bad feeling." Guilliman spoke. He looked a little at a loss. For some reason, he felt a little panic when he heard that the thing that fell from Macragge's atmosphere had turned into charcoal.

It was as if his subconscious was telling him that the unknown thing had some connection with him.

"I want you to confirm what that thing is, please."

"Regarding the Adeptus Mechanicus, I don't want them to know about this. Besides, their efficiency is too slow."

Guilliman's unusual posture aroused Roche's curiosity. He wanted to know what made Roboute so uneasy.

Since waking up, he has become more and more concerned about irrational summons such as premonitions, intuition, and dreams. Although these do not sound scientific, most of the time they do work.

Luo Xi is not a pedantic person. If it works, then use it without being shy about it.

"Okay, I'll go there." Luo Xi agreed.

However, before going to the secret fortress base, he took some sophisticated equipment from the research institute left in Macragge, because he was just a projection now and many things could not be used at will.

Doro immediately arranged for people to secretly go to the base outside the city of Macragge.

"Lord Luo Xi, we have not been able to identify the identity or origin of the body. We have taken it back to the medical hall of the fortress for safekeeping."

As he walked, Dolro said, "In addition, we are collecting all clues in the area of ​​the impact point and all witnesses have been temporarily controlled."

"You did a good job. It's better to be safe than sorry." Having a subordinate like Dole is really a worry-free thing for a leader.

"I wonder if there's a chance to get a few more talents from Roboute. Anyway, he has a big family and a lot of talent, so he has a lot of talent."

Roche thought to himself, while Guilliman, who was far away in the inner court office of Macragge City, couldn't help but sneeze.

"It seems that it is right to let Luo Xi go. Why? I feel uneasy."

The quill in Guilliman's hand paused, and the smudged ink left a spot on a piece of parchment waiting to be approved.

The Primarch's heart was in a state of confusion.

Chapter 164 What is this? Black Legend!

Roche naturally had no idea that his mumbling would cause Guilliman to sneeze several times in succession.

He was not joking. Now he had taken root in the Five Hundred Worlds. As his business grew bigger and bigger, Luo Xi felt more and more overwhelmed.

The large-scale production of mechanical equipment on Mustafar, the research on the Untouchables, the progress of the construction of three types of interstellar battleships in the planet's dock, and the need to spend time and energy to search the Red Alert's vast database for suitable relic technologies that can be used.

Not to mention that his real body is still in Sotha, studying the Pharos technology from the Necrons with the warsmith Dantioch.

From what he had learned of the warsmith, it seemed that Dantioch was planning to hack into the captured Necron bodies.

As a small gift from Trazyn, Roche collected a large number of various types of Necron samples on Sotha, including Necron Warriors, Immortals, Scorpion Destroyers, and Ghost Scarabs.

Oh, by the way, the chief who sent him to this era also used the holographic projection in the Red Alert to trick a zombie and left him with the task of collecting the missing technological branches on the Red Alert.

I wonder if he is still alive and is secretly watching me working so hard in some corner.

Thinking of this, Luo Xi couldn't help but shudder. After seeing more, he would never jump to conclusions about something easily again.

After all, there are so many outrageous things in the universe. No matter how small the probability is, as long as the probability is not 0, it can basically be concluded that it will happen.

The probability exists, and the next step is just a matter of time.

Luo Xi followed Dorlo into the heavily guarded fortress. Although he could rely on Faros' magical technology to pass through the wall directly, that would be too ostentatious.

Since Pharos has this ability, does it mean that humans are almost as transparent in front of the Necrons?

Such an idea popped up in Luo Xi's mind, but it was unnecessary to think about how to deal with the Necrons given the current situation.

Humanity has been exhausted by its own civil war and has no more strength to deal with the galactic overlord who has been dormant for 60 million years.

Before reaching the room where the nameless charred corpse was placed, Luo Xi had already felt a familiar sense of disgust from a distance.

It was a rejection and resistance from the depths of the soul. Pushing open the thick and solid iron door, the leader of the newly formed Untouchables team, Dulles Valentine, had been waiting there for a long time.

He was wearing power armor specially customized for mortals, but because there was no need to take off on this mission, the power armor was not filled with deep-sea fluid.

Dulles was very cautious. He knew that the missions that required them to go out would most likely involve the mysterious subspace, so when he saw Roche, he did not take off his helmet.

"Good afternoon, Lord Roche."

The mortal in power armor bowed slightly in respect.

"Good afternoon. It seems that you have adapted to the role quite quickly. You got into the state so quickly."

Roche joked that when the Mechanicum brought him from his home hive world to Macragge, the leader of the Underhive gang was trembling with fear, thinking he had committed a serious crime.

Although we didn't see his expression, we could tell from his voice that Dulles' tone was firm and he no longer had the fear he had in the past.

It seems that it was the Ultramarines' instructors who changed this group of untouchables who came together from five hundred worlds.

They are no longer wandering ghosts, nor are they aliens that are hated by humans and ghosts. Instead, they are a special force of untouchables that are extremely rare and precious and have a strong inhibitory effect on the subspace.

In addition to Dulles, there were two untouchable companions beside him. Luo Xi had no impression of them and just nodded.

In addition to Dulles and his comrades, there were two legion pharmacists assigned by Dorlo in the room. These Astartes, who possessed rich medical knowledge and biological technology, were the most respected besides the chapter master.

They ensure the physical health of their brothers in combat and in life, and in war, they often appear on the front lines, serving in a role similar to that of battlefield first responders.

If a Space Marine dies in battle, the Apothecary will remove their gene seeds, which will be preserved and passed on to another compatible person.

At this moment, the two pharmacists were separating some of the debris peeled off from the charred corpse.

Luo Xi noticed that the surface of the corpse had been completely burned into charcoal. It was not wearing anything like power armor and it was very likely that it fell from the atmosphere naked.

"We tried to test its surface tissue or draw blood, but the high temperature caused too much damage to the genetic material, so the probability of us getting a successful result was not high."

The leading pharmacist said.

Luo Xi nodded in agreement. They were very cautious and did not rashly conduct destructive tests on the body.

"According to calculations, the overheating and friction caused by the speed of falling through the atmosphere will cause part of the body mass to be worn away, but the remaining part..."

The charred corpse in front of him was curled up in some kind of painful state, but even so, its length was close to three meters.

Without a piece of armor, it was nearly three meters tall in its curled-up state...

Luo Xi was silent for a moment. Could this corpse belong to some human subspecies, the Ogryn?

"Forget it, scan it first and let me see what you are."

Luo Xi had brought the equipment in advance, and a full set of scanning equipment and testing instruments were deployed in this medical room with the efforts of the mechanical servants and mortal servants.

They carefully moved the charred body, which was placed on the operating table, into the scanning device.

This scanning device is capable of performing full-body scans at the cellular level. Even every cell of the scanned object can be scanned and imaged, and perfectly magnified through holographic projection.

This was once used for medical purposes in the past, but as medical nanorobots became more common, these medical devices are now facing the dilemma of being left behind.

The progress of the scan was fed back on the screen, allowing Luo Xi to see clearly what the charred body looked like underneath the charcoal.

As a clearer picture appeared, Luo Xi's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"The skeleton of this thing is too big."

"And with this amazing bone density, its strength must be terrifying. Ordinary injuries are simply not likely to break his bones."

"Even the Ogryns don't have such a huge skeleton, let alone the Astartes. The only one I've seen that looks like this is the Primarch."

Because a large amount of flesh and blood on the body surface had been turned into a ball of black charcoal, and the body was in a curled-up position overall, this abnormal corpse did not appear to be particularly large.

But when the intelligent brain began to model and restore its original appearance, even Valentus Doro, who was not well versed in biology, was stunned.

The figure that appeared in the holographic projection was more than four meters and five meters tall even when standing barefoot.

You have to know that even Roboute Guilliman was barely over four meters tall when wearing armor. The Lord of Five Hundred Worlds was not considered tall among his brothers.

The facial drawing based on the restoration of the facial skeleton contour made it even more difficult for this hero who had never been afraid of battle to control his demeanor.

He exclaimed: "This is... Lord Vulcan!"

Chapter 165: Hot Vulcan

Luo Xi originally thought that nothing could shock him anymore, but apparently, he was wrong again.

No one expected that a meteorite that fell from Macragge's atmosphere and a charred corpse that was unrecognizable would reveal his true identity as the Eighteenth Son of the Emperor, the most noble Primarch in the galaxy.

Vulkan, Lord of Fire Dragons, Primarch of the Eighteenth Legion of Salamanders.

His last news came from Isstvan V, the planet where Roche had awakened. The Fire Dragon Lord and his brood were reduced to ash by the Iron Warriors' nuclear weapons during the Landing Site Massacre.

Subsequent battlefield reports failed to reveal the whereabouts of the Primarch, and Roboute Guilliman even believed that he had been buried on the treacherous planet along with Ferrus Malus.

During the reception ceremony, Captain Zaitos of the Salamanders stubbornly believed that their father was still alive, and desperately hoped that the Lord of Fire Dragons would return one day and continue to lead them.

"It seems that those fire lizards will be disappointed." Luo Xi sighed as he calmed down.

Even if it was the Primarch, if he was burned like this... he probably wouldn't be able to survive.

Those sophisticated instruments did not detect any life activity at all, even the cells were dead, and the high temperature generated by the atmospheric friction could even burn up the huge cosmic meteorites. It was a miracle that so much of Vulcan's flesh was still left.

"What shall we do, Dorlo Yingjie?"
