Warhammer: Expedition to the Multiverse from 30k

"The Primarch has sent the signal. This metal cage will release us."

In the bridge command room of the Dark Angels flagship, the Indomitable Truth, Captain Stannis spoke to the other crew members.

Through the portholes, they could see the intricate network of metal pipes and the minimalist machines flying back and forth.

The engines, which are composed of several basic modules, are directly attached to the raw materials. They spit plasma flames and push the materials to the target location.

The endless energy released by the reactor is directly transmitted in the form of high-energy laser beams. In this empty space, this is undoubtedly an extremely efficient way of utilizing energy.

"We still cannot understand why the Ultramarines were able to create such a huge celestial structure. The things built in this dock are definitely not something that those fools of the Mechanicus can control."

The void-roaming metallic behemoth was sent by the enraged Ultramarines after the spirit that haunted the bowels of the Indomitable Truth unleashed four hundred drop pods. It devoured the Indomitable Truth as easily as a mortal swallows a jelly bean.

"The lion ordered us to obey his orders, and we obeyed his orders."

Stannis's nerve-damaged face was expressionless, and he uttered cold, mechanical words.

The Indomitable Truth was bound by an invisible force to a vacant construction site in the giant dock. All the airtight doors, connecting doors and open platforms had been locked. Stannis would never let any Extreme Marine enter.

However, although those guys from the Thirteenth Legion imprisoned them, they did not take the opportunity to do anything. They simply ignored the existence of the Indomitable Truth and did not even send a supply ship.

It was not until the crew of the Indomitable Truth saw the giant battleship being built at the No. 3 construction site next door, a planetary battleship code-named "Thundercloud". In front of it, the Indomitable Truth was as small as a barge.

During these days, the Ultramarines did not hide anything, but generously displayed everything in front of the First Legion.

Stannis almost watched the steel behemoth becoming more complete every day. His steel body was filling up like growing flesh and blood, which meant terrifying industrial efficiency.

"Lord Lion must remain vigilant against Guilliman and the Ultramarines. The strength of these guys..."

In the eyes of the captain, the Indomitable Truth was the strongest of all the Queen of Glory-class battleships, but even so, he was not absolutely sure that he could fight against the completed Thundercloud-class battleship.

This is based on the enormous power of the hidden weapons in the secret vault of the Indomitable Truth.

Alarms were coming from the battleship's Thinker system. The bonds that bound the battleship's body were being removed. The freed Indomitable Truth stretched out its steel skeleton, and the long-dormant reactor engine began to run again.

The huge enveloping sky slowly opened, and the dazzling blue energy shield left enough space for the Indomitable Truth to escape.

"Secondary engines started, all ships ready."

"Scan array, weapon array, void shield system is back online."

Following the captain's orders, the high-level technicians on the Indomitable Truth, the Mechanicus priests, tens of thousands of crew members and workers, as well as the slaves who were made into servitors, restored the Glorious Queen to vitality.

The Indomitable Truth is leaving the control range of Hera Dock, and the gravitational force exerted by this huge celestial creation is weakening.

The captain's heart was finally at ease. Even though the Extreme Marines claimed that they would lift the control, he never let down his guard for a moment.

In other words, the habit of vigilance has long been integrated into Stannis' blood and has become an instinctive reaction no different from breathing.

He was already part of the Indomitable Truth, and he would remain alert and ever calm.

"The signal of the Primarch is on the orbital platform ahead. Pay attention to controlling the speed." The captain ordered, and the entire Queen of Glory docked at the target starport at idle speed. Their master, Lion the Lion, was waiting there.

Roche now stood side by side with the Lion, while Guilliman stood on the other side.

When he heard about Roche's plan, Lord Macragge showed up in person without hesitation and boarded Lion's flagship with Roche.

"I was worried that you would suffer a loss when you came to my petty brother's territory, so I thought it would be better for me to come here in person to prevent you from being fooled by this guy."

"This guy's secret vault is full of treasures. The Emperor only allowed him to keep those relic technologies. Maybe the STC storage room on Mars doesn't have more stored than the flagship of the First Legion."

Guilliman lowered his voice, but it was clear to the lion's ears.

The Lord of the First Legion waited for the barge to arrive from the Indomitable Truth, greatly annoyed by Guilliman's whispering.

"I'm not that deaf, Roboute, and you'd better keep quiet in my boat."

Roche just felt that Guilliman and Lion always looked a little funny when they were together. They might both think that the other had bad intentions, but in the eyes of bystanders, these two people were too similar.

They obviously don't seem to be compatible, but they know each other very well and can even guess and feel each other's little thoughts.

The barge sent by the Dark Angels quickly and accurately docked at the edge of the starport. All outsiders had been cleared out, and only the Dark Angels' guards remained.

However, when those dark angels looked at Roche and Guilliman, there was inevitably an unfriendly look in their eyes. Roche was also carefree and boarded the barge without any care.

The Dark Angels' warships were completely different from those of the Ultramarines. There were cold metal barriers everywhere. It took Ryan and the other two nearly half an hour to reach the target area.

Without guidance, even an invader would find it extremely difficult to find the right direction in this extremely complex steel forest.

Not to mention the hidden areas of the warships, which are equipped with endless automatic traps and guard forces.

Those traps are no harmless non-lethal defenses, most of them are dangerous weapons capable of killing Space Marines outright.

Once you take the wrong path or accidentally touch a sensitive area, these automated devices will immediately open fire and blast the intruder to pieces.

Ryan personally unlocked more than six different levels of security checks. Roche noticed that there were fully armed Dark Angel veterans patrolling around the clock in every place. These Astartes belonging to different companies and different orders gave him the feeling that they were even stronger than the Ever-Victorious Army.

"In terms of individual soldier quality, the Dark Angels are more elite than the Ultramarines before they were refitted. This is also part of the First Legion after it suffered several major blows."

"If it is the Dark Angel that was victorious before the war against Randan as rumored, what kind of terrifying existence would it be?"

Luo Xi thought to himself that if an entire Dark Angel Legion came, then it would not be so easy for him to discuss cooperation with Ryan.

He is now using his power to pressure the Lion King, who considered many factors before agreeing so readily.

A Dark Angel wearing Terminator armor opened the door of the secret vault, and finally, the secret vault that stored most of the Dark Angel's relics and technology appeared in front of Luo Xi.

Chapter 212 Relic Technology

As soon as he entered this so-called secret vault, Luo Xi felt a chill that penetrated his bones.

Static objects are neatly placed one after another in the huge vault. The surfaces of some objects are even blurred, making it difficult to see at a glance what is sealed inside.

"This secret warehouse of yours seems to have some anomalies in the curvature of space? And is the space inside a little too large?"

Luo Xi's senses were very sharp, and the space they were in was definitely not normal time and space.

The lion showed a surprised expression, then said affirmatively:

"Yes, your senses are sharper than you think. Although the secret vault is inside the Indomitable Truth, it is actually wrapped in a special space bubble. The distortion of space allows such a huge secret vault to appear in the battleship's not-so-empty cabin."

Space technology.

Luo Xi originally thought that this was the effect of psychic power, but he did not expect that this was pure technological power.

In the secret vault of the Dark Angels, there is a special engine from the Dark Age of Technology. When it is activated, it will generate a space bubble, thus distorting the conventional concept of size.

"If I'm not mistaken, even if the Indomitable Truth sinks in the war, this secret vault wrapped in a space bubble can be teleported away at the last minute."

Ryan didn't answer yes or no, but his attitude acknowledged it.

He lit up the dark room, and the symbols outside the stasis field appeared in imperial characters that Luo Xi could understand.

"The green sign means that the containment is safe and controllable. We have used these relics many times to eliminate difficult enemies."

Luo Xi heard a strong smell of blood in the lion's words. For an enemy that the Dark Angels found difficult to deal with, one could imagine how cruel and bloody the fight would be.

He moved closer, reading the words on the green sign.

[Relic Technology: Silica Virus]

[Recovery location: Ghoul Star Cluster]

The text is extremely concise, even to the point of being completely incomprehensible.

"The information about these relic technologies is recorded in the brains of the warriors of each order. There will be no physical records to prevent information leakage."

The lion said, and then he began to introduce the relic technology called the silica virus.

"Those are the relics we excavated from a dead world in the Ghoul Star Cluster. When we arrived at that dangerous group of stars, we found no signs of any life activity."

Luo Xi had heard of the notoriety of the Ghoul Stars, a desolate area located on the northeastern edge of the Ultramarine. This galaxy seemed to have a cursed power, and most of the human empire's explorations into it ended in failure.

"But as we landed on those habitable planets, we found that there were alien corpses turned into stone everywhere. One of them was an alien race called Togrand Blood Demon. They are ferocious creatures that like close combat very much. They can easily penetrate the ceramic steel power armor of the Astartes."

Ryan closed his eyes, as if recalling the information about the ferocious aliens.

"But these aliens seem to have triggered the ancient technology left deep in those worlds. It is this relic called the Silica Virus that has transformed all life in the galaxy into silica, or rock."

"This seems to have happened a long time ago. When we arrived, the virus on that dead world had already entered a dormant period, so we were not so complicated to control it."

The virus's internal mechanism of transforming living organisms into rocky inorganic matter amazed Roche.

"This sounds like the gaze of Medusa in ancient mythology, where the object of the gaze will turn into a stone statue." Luo Xi said, however, this is not magic, but a subtle study of viruses by humans in the dark technological age.

"Put it on the list. If it can be cracked, this virus weapon will be a very clean and efficient means."

The silica virus might be extremely dangerous outside, but in the secret vault of the Dark Angel, it could only be classified as green and harmless.

Deeper in the sky, some hideous-looking mechanical creatures were lying dormant in a stagnant state. They had a human-like appearance, but were taller and stronger. Metal spikes grew from their steel skeletons, and their steel bodies were wrapped in muscle bundles made of pipeline structures.

"This thing is Iron Man, no, this is something disgusting."

When Luo Xi saw the steel giant sealed in a stasis state, he was stunned. An inexplicable sense of familiarity and strangeness came over him at the same time.

This is not an iron man, but a creature called the Extinction Machine.

Its label is orange, which means it is dangerous and relatively unreliable.

The extinction machine in front of Luo Xi was even more bizarre than the iron man with the golden ratio. The overgrown metal head seemed to be about to let out a blasphemous howl, and its stagnant eyes were filled with a strong murderous yellow light.

Its arms were obviously deformed, with one being longer and thicker, while the other was underdeveloped and completely twisted.

"Extinction Relic, you should be quite familiar with it." Ryan walked to Luo Xi's side without knowing when, and said, "It is a kind of hateful intelligence, a poor imitation of Iron Man, but even so they are powerful enough."

"Even if I were surrounded by more than six Extinction Relics, it would be difficult for me to resist and defeat these opponents. In the previous battle with Conrad, I released the Extinction Relics to entangle that guy."

Luo Xi looked at those twisted remains of extinction and fell into deep thought. These were definitely not creations of the Golden Age. What made these loyal companions of mankind become like this?

When he saw the appearance of the Extinction Machine, he immediately thought of the problem of artificial intelligence rebellion that he had always been worried about. The malice from the subspace distorted the artificial intelligence.

"This is a blasphemy. These twisted creations should not exist."

Luo Xi looked at the Lion King, "I know you have placed restrictions inside these extinction machines and will only release them when necessary, but I know that you are still playing with fire."

"The corrupted extinction machines may turn against you at any time. They are completely different from those iron men who are loyal to humanity."

Ryan did not answer. He just continued to move forward and said, "That is our own business. The Extinction Relics are an important force, and we are confident that we can destroy the threat when they backfire."

Seeing this, Luo Xi did not persuade him again. Since the Dark Angel was so confident, let him go.

Accompanied by Ryan, he continued to wander around the secret vault, searching for valuable relic technologies.
