Warhammer: Expedition to the Multiverse from 30k

The proud Tau warrior had imagined that the disparity between the two sides would be huge, but his brain could not comprehend why those giants in metal armor moved so fast.

According to their understanding, the larger the creature, the slower its movement speed. An agile Tau hunter can easily kill a slow Rhino with a long-range throw.

Come on, come on, let's have a head-on fight.

Kuran roared and cursed his enemies, he hated humiliation more than death.

Finally, the white-scarred cub ended his test. He swung the power blade with thunderous force and chopped directly at the head of the Tau man.

This sword was outstanding in terms of skill, power and speed. Although Qin Xin was the youngest warrior among the White Scars, the sudden outbreak of the Horus Heresy forced the young warrior to grow up at a faster pace.

There was no suspense at all in the battle between Qin Xin and Kulan. Apart from the fact that the courage and fighting spirit of the Titanium people were worthy of praise, the gap in every aspect was too great.

"The Tau aliens are simply not suited to close combat. Even this somewhat special individual has too poor physical fitness and skills. Any veteran of the Imperial Auxiliary Army can easily defeat him."

Gantula's eyes never left the two people fighting. He was also judging and testing Qin Xin's growth.

"This little guy has good skills and strength. His shortcomings are experience and his lack of determination. It wouldn't be a waste to let this alien become a grindstone."

Qin Xin, who was even more erratic in nature, controlled his weapon with precision, slashing across the tip of the bronze spear with perfect posture.

The finely crafted power weapon produced by the Mustafar Forge World cut it in half with incredible ease, and even Kuran's hand holding the spear was chopped off in mid-air.

The Guandao drew an arc and then rushed towards Kuran's head. The Titanium warrior only felt a sharp pain in his right hand and then lost the perception of his right arm. The Guandao, which was attacked with terrifying murderous intent, destroyed his fantasy and hope.

He is going to die.

Kuran was strong enough by the standards of a Tau, but the opponent he faced was a White Scar warrior who was completely superior in equipment and impeccable in terms of physical fitness, experience and skills.

"Die! Alien!"

Qin Xin was looking forward to using the power Guan Dao to chop off the head, severing the resilient muscles and hard spine. When the blood spurted out, he would have completed a qualified hunt.

But his sword missed, and a blue crack emitting chaotic air suddenly appeared beside the battlefield where the two men were fighting, sucking in the Fire Clan warriors at a speed no one expected.

Kuran escapes.

"How dare you?!" The young soldier was immediately enraged. He could not tolerate such an act of deserting the battlefield.

The Guan Dao, which had not yet been weakened, sank deeply into the rock layer, almost inserting the metal handle into it.

The furious Qin Xin pulled out his power Guandao and activated the switch to decompose the force field at the same time. With a swing of his hand, the other Fire Clan warriors were instantly killed all over the ground. They were completely crushed by the power weapons, leaving only extremely bloody remains on the ground.

A massacre occurred here.

Chapter 232: Deep Water

The sudden change caught everyone off guard.

Even Gantula, who had been watching the battlefield, felt stunned and surprised, but then his rich experience told him the truth.

"It's psychic. There are psychic enemies nearby. Call for support from the anti-psychic team."

"Deploy the Eagle of True Vision. We have to catch those hidden enemies."

Gangtura Nayan Khan took a few steps forward and used the power Guandao in his hand to suppress the angry Qin Xin. With a push and a kick of his arm, the new blood's weapon was knocked to the ground.

Compared to the battle-hardened Gantula, Qin Xin is still too naive and too young.

"Your opponent was rescued by a lurking psychic enemy. We don't know if he is a human psychic or some alien that can use psychic power. He is your prey, and you will be the one hunting him."

Qin Xin was furious when his duel was interrupted, but as the company commander spoke, he had to suppress his temper, and his calmness once again covered up his recklessness.

The White Scars' gene-seed also has its own flaws, which the Legion calls: the Wildness of Chogorith.

This genetic defect is believed to be the product of Chagatai Khan's wildness and the savage and ferocious nature of the Chogoris, who need to control their instinctive wildness through strict discipline, humble self-reflection and supervision by comrades.

White Scars warriors are more or less intoxicated by the glory of battle, and will instinctively want to satisfy this desire.

They became impatient, bad-tempered, and lost their composure. Qin Xin's current state had triggered the so-called genetic curse of indulging in wild war desires.

"Be calm and restrained, put a bridle on your desires, Qin Xin."

Na Yanhan's exhortation calmed Qin Xin down a lot, and he bowed his head to admit his mistake.

Gantula nodded with satisfaction, and then he and other White Scar warriors released several falcon-like mechanical creatures with a wingspan of more than two meters, perched on top of huge shoulder armor.

"Go! Find those gutter rats."

The mechanical falcon received the signal and flapped its wings, and in an instant it was above the sky. Its sharp eagle eyes and the auspicious instrument it carried kept scanning the land, trying to find the location of the hidden enemy.

Next, Gantula sent a communication request to the starship where Roche was. After their encirclement and suppression over this period of time, most of the Tau people had been hunted down or kept in captivity, and the psychic enemies that appeared now were likely to be the last trump card of this race.

Holographic projection communication was established. Roche was in the private room of the Red Alert, and the Sage Lawrence of the Mechanicus was sitting beside him. The two seemed to be discussing something.

"I have received your signal for help, Captain. The anti-psychic team and the think tank team are on their way. Emilia Troy, the think tank of the Ultramarines, has decided to come and support you personally."

The Psionic Think Tank and the Untouchables represent two anti-psionic methods. During the discussion, Roche and Sage Lawrence have become increasingly convinced that the waters of the Tau are deeper than they imagined. There is a big hand behind this seemingly primitive race, manipulating and controlling their evolution.

The news sent back by Captain Gantula clearly confirmed this. The appearance of an unknown psychic alien rescued a Tau warrior, and they finally chose to expose themselves.

Luo Xi was not afraid that they would do something tricky, but he was afraid that these aliens hiding in the dark would never show up.

He was about to lead the exploration fleet to the next target planet to search for black stone veins, but he didn't have much time to stay on Titanium and play house with these primitive people.

"The hunt has become more interesting, Lord Roshi. The White Scars will hunt down those xenos who are ignorant of their own lives. We will present you with the head of the true Black Hand."

After the two sides communicated, Luo Xi cut off the holographic communication.

"Sage, it seems that there are still some loopholes in our deduction. The Tau, or the beings who created the Tau, are not completely insulated from psychic energy. There are individuals among them who can utilize the power of the warp."

The White Scars' armor is equipped with numerous holographic cameras that can record everything they see and hear in real time, and Roche also saw the opened subspace rift.

Being able to open a subspace rift in the real universe means a strong level of psychic power, and the other party has a very deep understanding of the subspace and can preserve the integrity of his soul in the subspace.

"But why did they rescue that Titan? And why did they abandon the other Titan aliens? Is there something special about the Titan that Qin Xin fought with?"

Luo Xi looked through the images sent back frame by frame, but in the end he didn't find any useful information.

Issues involving the Warp are handled more passively. Before the Battle of Calth, the Ultramarines did not even realize that there were some horrible malicious entities in the Sea of ​​Souls, let alone that they could descend into the real universe through rituals.

"I hate psionics. They always complicate simple problems. We can't go deep into the warp just for some guesses and risk being swept away by the warp storm to look for those filthy bugs."

He grumbled a few words helplessly, and simply asked the White Scars and the Ultramarines to intensify their search and eliminate as many Tau aliens on the planet as possible.

As for those Tau people who disappeared in the rifts of the Warp, just leave them there. Roxi has no way to reach into the Warp for the time being. That sea of ​​souls is too dangerous.

He would not investigate too deeply into this unknown territory until the "Warp Fishing" he and Guilliman had set up was successful.

……

In the chaotic sea of ​​souls.

The pain faded, leaving only numbness and emptiness as Kuran woke up from his coma.

He found himself in a dark place without the sun, moon, or even stars. His right arm was still in pain, but the wound seemed to have been treated and there was no sign of infection such as redness, swelling, and pus.

"Am I dead? I have returned to the heaven of the Supreme Father God. Father God, I have not let you down."

Kuran muttered to himself. He spread out his surviving left arm and felt the muscles relaxing. He didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

After all, no one knew what it was like after death, and he had only heard the ancient myths passed down by word of mouth among the aging Tau people.

The most likely ones are the giants wearing metal armor. He killed himself in battle, so God the Father led him to the Kingdom of God.

Facing Qin Xin's knife, Kulan couldn't think of any way to survive. That was simply not an enemy that the Titanium people could defeat.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard in the darkness around him. The injured Kuran immediately became alert. It was difficult for an injured beast to survive on the continent. There would always be hunters, diseases and hunger that would take the lives of the brave.

Kuran saw a Tau man of unusual appearance walking out of the darkness. The stranger was not any of the Fire, Air, Earth, or Water clans he was familiar with.

The stranger was taller than the Fire Clan warrior, with shiny and elastic gray-blue skin. On his sacred forehead, there was a special object similar to crystal embedded in it.

Kuran had never seen a similar Tau man before, but for some reason, the moment he saw him, he felt a strong sense of trust and dependence, which permeated the broken heart of the Fire Caste warrior.

As a proud Fire Caste warrior, Kuran had never cried before, but when he looked at the sacred Tau, he wept.

"If the Supreme Father God really has a specific appearance, then he must have a face like this."

"Save your people, Father God. The demons from the stars are slaughtering the Tau people. We are on the verge of extinction."

Kuran wailed in his heart, and the tall Tau man walking towards him seemed to see through his thoughts.

"That's why I'm here, Kuran Shawwa. You have your mission unfinished. You must stay strong and stay strong."

A strange voice sounded directly in Kuran's mind. The Fire Caste warrior looked around in shock, and finally confirmed that it was the Tau people in front of him who were speaking in his mind.

"As for me, you may call me: Ether."

Chapter 233 The So-Called Ether

"ether……"

When the notes representing these two words appeared, Kuran naturally thought that these were the most sacred and greatest words in the world. His confused brain seemed to awaken something, and began to produce a lot of knowledge that he had never learned.

Tau...Planet...Humanity...

Kuran seemed to be suddenly enlightened and had a completely new understanding of the world he lived in.

It turns out that the continent they live on is located on a huge spherical planet, and the stars in the night sky are actually twinkling stars countless light years away, as well as those damn demons called humans.

He also realized how stupid and ridiculous his behavior was. The enemy was an interstellar civilization that could roam the starry sea. There was no way that the Tau people, who were still in the ignorant age, could deal with it.

"I am the prophet of the Tau, Kulan Shawa. My companions and I have been watching the development of our race from a place you cannot see. From your birth to the spark of your civilization, we have always been here."

Ether's voice is gentle and plain, but it carries a power that makes people unable to help but believe and admire it.

"We shouldn't have appeared now. You will continue to grow on the Titanium Star until one day civilization reaches a certain critical point. Then we will appear. At that time, we will lead the Titanium people onto the truly correct path - you can call it the [Greater Good]."

Kuran has never understood so clearly the value of his existence. In the past, he fought for the prosperity of the clan and to prolong the life of the Titanium people and prevent them from extinction. But now he has new ideals and beliefs.

Fight for the Greater Good.

"Lord Eta, what should we do? Those humans from the stars are slaughtering our people wantonly. If the Tau are destroyed, who will promote the Greater Good?"

The armless Fire Clan warrior said anxiously that they could not resist the human massacre, which meant that all the old, weak, women and children in the clan would die.

"Don't call me sir, Kulan Shawa. You and I are both believers of the Greater Good. There is no distinction between high and low."

The being who called himself Ether refused the honorific title from the Fire Caste, "You can just call me You Hai. I am the prophet of the Tau, and I represent the Ethers to bring salvation."
