Warhammer: Expedition to the Multiverse from 30k

As long as there are enough resources, the STC on the starship can continuously produce technological creations. Even forbidden weapons that can extinguish stars and giant warships that are hundreds of kilometers long are not difficult to create.

Those are huge warships that can be described as celestial bodies. Their mass can reach that of a planet or even a star.

Compared with those big guys, the warship in front of us can really be regarded as a small sampan in the void.

"In that case, just run right in. No need for any fancy counterattacks."

Red Alert ignored the oncoming macrocannons and light spears. In fact, their accuracy was very poor and most of the attacks were dodged by maneuvers. Only one light spear was lucky enough to hit the bow of the starship.

The light spear flashed. This giant energy weapon not only could continuously output energy, but the secondary shock waves and high-intensity heat lines it produced posed a great threat to warships.

For a pocket-sized starship like this one that is only one kilometer long, a single luminous spear is enough to completely destroy it.

Luo Xi silently watched the trail of light spear across the universe. This kind of light-speed weapon would hit the target the moment it was observed.

A huge amount of energy bombarded the bow of the Red Alert, and the silver-white hull seemed to be polished, and the energy shield on the surface fluctuated slightly.

The spear of light disappeared!

So the observer's brain suddenly froze. Even if it was hitting the void shield, there should be some reaction, right?

The Red Alert did not slow down at all, and tore through the enemy's formation like a giant cannonball.

Like a meteor from the depths of the universe, the starship slammed straight into the flank of a strike cruiser, causing a violent explosion and the disintegration of the ship. Then, without slowing down, it plunged into the largest battleship.

"What are they doing?!"

The Iron Warriors exclaimed, this was undoubtedly a suicide act in their opinion.

The Empire's warships did have rams, but this extremely ancient tactic was only used on extremely rare occasions.

Crash! Crash!

The collision between a tiny one-kilometer-long warship and an eleven-kilometer-long battleship, the sheer size alone was enough to make this brave but stupid act come to naught.

Weyland stood with the Iron Hands warriors, their faces solemn, able to destroy a strike cruiser and the traitors on it. They were no longer known as the Sons of Ferrus.

The father of genes died on this tiny planet, so let his sons follow in his footsteps!

In a trance, they seemed to see the smile of Ferrus Manus blooming in the flames of Medusa.

A brighter ball of fire burst out from the dark starry sky. The fragments of the strike cruiser's hull were still burning in the void, but they were eclipsed by this even larger ball of fire.

The 11-kilometer-long shuttle-shaped giant ship, with its wedge-shaped ram at the bow and the layers of building hull behind it, exploded in a state that could be described as slow motion. It looked like a ignited fuse, burning rapidly from one side to the other.

The huge warship exploded in the middle, and a large amount of macro-cannon ammunition and reactor engines detonated. There was no sound in the silent universe, but it was enough to make every witness tremble with fear.

In the cloud of debris, the silhouette of the Red Alert kept reflecting in the firelight, and was captured by the Iron Warriors' astronaut instruments as if in a mockery.

With just a collision, without even using the destructive weapons carried by the starship, most of the Iron Warriors fleet in front of them was defeated.

Their warships completely shattered into the void, not to mention the flesh-and-blood Space Marines and mortal auxiliaries on board.

Only the hardest adamantine keel of the ship still retained its general shape after such a devastating blow. These keels, which could only be melted and formed at the temperature of a star, drifted away and fell in the aftermath of the explosion.

"Oh, O Messiah!"

The Iron Hands who witnessed all this through the portholes were completely overwhelmed by this crushing void combat.

They were able to take over this giant ship from the Golden Age and use various forbidden attack methods from the Dark Age of Technology, such as antimatter bombs and black hole bombs, to destroy enemy ships.

But this simple collision actually contained a huge technological gap between the two sides. The giant ship under his feet was probably even stronger than a ship made of fine gold.

Complete victory, total crushing.

Weyland stroked the cabin of the starship. The Iron Hand was completely intoxicated by the joy of fighting alongside such a powerful warship.

He even followed the ritual process of the Mechanicus and prayed and blessed together with other legion warriors.

"Praise the Machine Soul!"

Chapter 4: Subspace Yaw

After destroying two Iron Warriors warships cleanly, Red Alert arrived at Mandeville Point and directly activated the warp engine to jump into the Supreme Heaven.

The world before his eyes began to become unreal and distorted. Even Luo Xi had to block out the distorted and changing scenes.

The real universe and the subspace are two different worlds. Entering the gap between the two worlds means being impacted by two different rules.

In this incredible sea of ​​souls, there is no strict concept of time and space, and even the physical laws necessary for the real universe can be distorted at will.

All kinds of bizarre and fantastic scenes may actually happen here.

"Is this the subspace of this era? It is so distorted and polluted. The price to pay for normal navigation will naturally be heavier." Luo Xi was shocked when he saw the information filtered by the intelligent brain.

Chief, their prediction is correct, the subspace will fall into an irreparable chaos.

In the 21st millennium, the Warp was much calmer, and a safe Warp voyage could basically be completed simply by opening the Geller Stand.

But now, when the Red Alert entered the subspace, Roche immediately noticed something unusual.

In his ears, he could faintly hear some kind of mumbling.

For a moment, he even had hallucinations before his eyes, as if he had come to a kingdom of gods and heard the call of some ancient existence.

He told himself it was all fake.

The intelligent computer increased the energy intensity of Geller's stance, and all these illusory things disappeared.

"The warp became difficult to navigate, and when humans scattered across the galaxy lost contact, the dark times naturally descended."

The most terrifying thing about the Milky Way is that it is too huge. The diameter of the Milky Way reaches 100,000 light years, a number that makes all intelligent life feel despair.

Even if we travel at the speed of light, it will take 100,000 years to cross this distance. For human beings, it will probably take thousands of generations to reach the end.

As for subspace navigation, this method of leaping to the highest heaven and then taking advantage of the chaotic time and space in the highest heaven to move at superluminal speeds can almost be considered cheating in a sense.

"Maybe those soldiers can know some information. Everything has changed in tens of thousands of years." Luo Xi thought and opened the closed hatch through the intelligent brain.

Soon, Nikona and others followed the instructions in the corridor and arrived at the captain's room.

Taking the lead, Wieland walked in front of the crowd, bowed his head slightly, and performed a special Iron Hand salute.

"The Emperor's warriors thank you for your service, sir."

Luo Xi also smiled in his heart. These cyborg warriors who always had cold faces turned out to still retain the ability to smile. He almost thought that the man called the Emperor had deprived them of all their instincts except fighting.

"Please rest assured, we will follow your instructions on this ship, and nothing reckless will happen again." Wieland hammered his chest, and his mechanical prosthesis collided with the power armor made of a new material, looking extremely solemn and serious.

Hearing this, Luo Xi also showed a kind smile. As long as they are willing to cooperate, everything can be discussed.

Anyway, he just happened to be in need of some guides who understood the situation.

"We just want to return to Terra and make those damned traitors pay with their blood!"

Hatred lingers in the heart of every Space Marine, the flame of betrayal has never been extinguished, and the hatred of the brothers who died on Isstvan V will be borne by the living.

Luo Xi could not fully understand this deep hatred. After all, he came from ten thousand years ago and had only known these warriors for a few hours. The common goal of him and these warriors was to return to the home planet of human civilization. He wanted to see what the home planet of mankind had become.

"Wait, you don't have a navigator? How are you going to get through the warp to Terra?"

The captain's room is very simple, with nothing else except a command desk and display screens on the walls.

After Weiland glanced around, he suddenly asked.

"Without a navigator, how can we glimpse the light of the Astronomican? Warp navigation is so dangerous. Without guidance, we will definitely get lost."

"Navigator?"

After some communication, Luo Xi got information from Weiland about this special group of people who can see through the sea of ​​​​subspace with their third eye.

Navigators are a special type of psyker with a third eye growing on their foreheads. Using this special gift, Navigators can provide direction guidance for warp navigation so that starships will not get lost.

However, this type of psychic mutants appeared on a large scale during M22-M25, which means that at the time when Roche arrived, there was no stable group of navigators.

"As you can see, there was no need for navigators in the era I came from. The warp was as calm as a lake under the warm spring sun, not as turbulent as it is now."

"And don't worry, we have an intelligent computer that can provide navigation services."

As Luo Xi spoke, the intelligent computer that had remained invisible also revealed its appearance.

A 30-centimeter-tall electric mouse with yellow fur and a lightning-like tail appeared on Luo Xi's shoulder. There were symmetrical red power bags on both sides of its cheeks, and there were faint arcs flashing.

"Alien!"

Witnessing an alien creature appear before their eyes, the Iron Hands' instincts engraved deep in their genes were activated.

The Emperor had engraved extreme hostility towards aliens in the genes of every Primarch and every Astartes. Now that they were encountering them at such a close range, if it weren't for Roche's previous deterrent behavior, Weland and others would have picked up their bolters and blasted the abominable aliens to pieces.

"This is just the body of an intelligent computer. Calm down, warriors." Luo Xi was also a little surprised by these people's reactions. In his long life, the first thousand years of his life left the most profound impression.

In the distant past, there was a cartoon character called "Pikachu" that left a deep impression on his mind, which is why he made the starship's intelligent brain appear in this form.

"It is hatred of intelligence."

What Luo Xi didn't see was that after he explained clearly that his pets were not aliens, the tension of these Astartes did not ease, but even became more serious.

Weiland stared at Pika who was licking his fur with a complicated look, but still suppressed his dissatisfaction.

The Emperor's Angel of Death is now aboard a starship piloted by an abominable intelligence with an alien appearance. The ship belongs to a human who is not loyal to the Emperor and is unknown where in the Warp.

The warriors of the Broken Legion felt that their future was bleak.

"The Hateful Intelligence once brought endless suffering and sacrifice to mankind. In that dark age, it was the Hateful Intelligence that rebelled against mankind and led to the end of the Golden Age."

Weiland murmured, and in his heart he repeatedly prayed to the Emperor for forgiveness, but being on this heretical starship, he could only hold his nose and acquiesce.

Ignoring the painful and remorseful expressions of the Space Marines, Roxi stroked Pica's soft fur and couldn't help but ponder his plan after arriving on Terra.

He was the only executor of the "Reinforce the Future" plan. The Red Alert contained most of the STCs and scientific and technological knowledge of his time. From these Astartes, Roche had understood that the terrible technological recession had lasted for several thousand years.

The warships made of degenerate materials disappeared, replaced by some strange spaceships with cathedrals built on their engines and firing at each other with macro cannons.

The Stone Men and the Iron Men disappeared, and a terrible betrayal known as the Iron Rebellion destroyed the Golden Age, leaving humans with only fear and vigilance towards their once powerful assistants and perfect creations.

Humanity's enterprising spirit and rationality disappeared. A special religion called the Mechanicus monopolized the field of science and technology. Humanity no longer sought innovation and progress, but simply buried itself in ruins and relics in search of old creations.

This made him feel deeply frightened.

It seems that this dark fact is the truth of the universe. What people in the past saw was nothing more than the reflection of the lake. When the monster at the bottom of the lake surfaced, they realized what they had done wrong.

Peace and prosperity were more like an illusion of a certain historical period, but they took peace for granted.

No matter what, the mission I shoulder must be accomplished. If mankind must fall into a future of ignorance and darkness, I must grasp that glimmer of hope.
