Warhammer: Expedition to the Multiverse from 30k

"They hold secrets!"

The suspicious lion immediately began to doubt those little men in robes.

"How can we expel the Ouroboros from Caliban? Without the Ouroboros, there will be no need for the behemoth to absorb the corruption of Chaos."

Luther said seriously that he didn't care about anything else, he only cared about his own planet.

He is a Caliban, the son of Caliban, and Caliban's interests are above all else.

"There's no other way. If there was, we wouldn't always be in a passive defensive state." Saltana said helplessly.

"What we are doing is essentially just delaying time, delaying the day when Ouroboros wakes up and escapes."

"The Dark Watchers only informed us of the Ouroboros' existence. The purpose of these robed figures' existence seems to be to guard the Ouroboros."

"Caliban is a prison, it holds a prisoner called Ouroboros, and the Dark Watchers are its jailers."

"We humans who came here with interstellar immigrants can at best be considered outsiders parasitic on the corners of the prison."

As Saltana told him the true secret hidden by the Knights of Sirius, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

It was difficult to keep a secret. He originally thought that he would keep it until he died of old age and then pass it on to the next generation of Sirius Knights.

They have been doing this for generations, and if nothing unexpected happened, Ryan and the others would never know.

"Oh, by the way, the Dark Watchers told me one more thing."

Saltana's addition made everyone roll their eyes.

"explain."

"They told me that Ouroboros is not an isolated entity. There are also similar entities like the Plague Heart and the Tuchucha Engine."

"These three must never meet again, otherwise an unstoppable horror will erupt."

"They seem to have a common origin, and for some reason they split apart, but they are always pursuing the ultimate goal of becoming one."

"Although there is only Ouroboros on Caliban, those other beings may have already become active in the galaxy, searching for each other's traces."

Ryan may not know what Ouroboros is, nor what Plague Heart is, but he knows the last thing.

【Tuqiucha Engine】.

After he discovered the Tuchucha Engine in the Perditus Galaxy, he even had a fierce conflict with the Death Guard led by Karas Typhon before he successfully took control of it.

It was precisely because of Tuchucha's ability to teleport efficiently and accurately in the Warp that the Dark Angels were able to defeat the Night Lords and Konrad Curze more easily, and despite the influence of the Ruinstorm, break through to Guilliman's Macragge.

Ryan thought carefully and realized that the connection between him and the Tuchucha engine was so deep.

It can be said that if there were no alien creation of unknown origin, the current situation in the galaxy would be even more confusing.

Without Tuchucha, he could not break through the Storm of Destruction and follow the flash of Faros to reunite with the Five Hundred Worlds.

Without the reunion, would he be able to reach Terra now and command the Imperial army against Horus here?

Facing an Imperial garrison without reinforcements, Horus would be able to launch an attack on Terra more easily and brutally.

Ryan couldn't imagine how terrible it would be if he never returned to Terra.

He claims to be the most loyal Primarch, but if he has missed the entire Heresy and is wandering around with the most powerful Dark Angels Legion, is that loyal or disloyal?

The lion wiped away these distracting thoughts in his heart. Many times, things cannot be thought about too carefully, as thinking will lead to heresy, and heresy will induce betrayal.

"I originally thought that Tuchucha was the creation of some extinct alien civilization." Ryan said.

"In the secret vaults of the Dark Angels, there are many alien creations of unknown origin, but a large part of them are classified as human heritage from the Dark Technology Age."

Ruth listened and scratched his head because he had no idea about these things.

They, the Space Wolves, cannot compare with the Dark Angels in terms of foundation, or rather, no other legion can compare with the Dark Angels.

Ryan also doubted the Tuchucha engine at first, but it controlled a mortal robot servant that expressed a strong willingness to cooperate and was willing to offer the highest loyalty to the Lion King.

Because Tuchucha's existence was indeed a huge advantage, Ryan reluctantly tolerated its existence.

However, when the Dark Angels and Blood Angels returned to defend Terra, he gave the Tuchucha Engine to them out of "love" for Guilliman, so that Guilliman would also have super mobility to face the rebels.

This is definitely not to shift the blame to someone else for this alien creature whose origin is unknown and whose harm is unknown!

"Anyway, with the expansion capabilities of Guilliman's descendants, even if half of the Ultramarines die, they can be revived with full health in a few years."

"Why not let him try out the Tuchucha engine for me, so as to help the empire solve its problems."

Lion is a typical thick-skinned and black-hearted person. He doesn't care at all that he might have secretly betrayed Guilliman.

"But Saltana said that we must never let these three beings merge into one. Doesn't that mean that the Tuchucha Engine may have found me for this reason?"

A light flashed through Ryan's mind, and everything seemed to be strung together by a thread.

Ouroboros is imprisoned on his legion's home planet Caliban, and as long as one can get close to him and gain his trust, one can naturally get close to Ouroboros.

And once he gets the Tuchucha Engine back to Caliban, it's hard to say exactly what will happen.

He smelled secrecy and conspiracy.

Lion had made up his mind that no matter how useful this thing was, as long as he dealt with Horus, he would immediately find Guilliman to ask for the Tuchucha Engine back and do everything he could to destroy it.

Since the combination of these three things will lead to terrible things, it is better to destroy them and never worry about whether they will merge again.

As Luther listened to the conversation between the three people, he suddenly felt that his worldview had been refreshed.

It turns out that the world outside Caliban is so wonderful, and they are just frogs in the well, fighting with giant beasts every day.

The level of civilization on Caliban is in a state where primitive and advanced coexist. The overall technological level is no more than that of the Middle Ages, and some items excavated from ancient colonial ships are even more advanced than what Ryan Johnson has.

But he was not a man who was too ambitious. Now that the contradiction between them and the Sirius Knights had been laid out and made clear, there would naturally be no more conflicts.

When Saltana told Luther and Russ the secret of Caliban, it meant that they too must abide by the traditions and responsibilities of the Knights of Sirius.

They must control the number of behemoths to an appropriate level to balance the relationship between the plague of behemoths and chaos corruption.

"Thanks to Ryan for coming forward today, otherwise a complete war would have broken out between us."

Luther said with some emotion, "Even if the Order Knights can destroy the Sirius Knights, they will have to pay a heavy price. Moreover, this kind of infighting will only benefit the Behemoths and Chaos."

Saltana nodded in agreement. Originally, he brought three knights to negotiate with Leman Russ this time to warn them not to slaughter the behemoths again.

And now their mission has been exceeded, and they have even brought the Knights of Order and other allies to the same front.

"As a token of my sincerity, I can take you to our Sirius Knights' monastery, Saint Gerula, to see if we are really sheltering those behemoths."

"Although we have stopped you from wantonly slaughtering the behemoths, it does not mean that we are on the same side as the behemoths. We just need to use them to protect humans."

"Everyone's paths are different, but the goal is the same. We are all human beings."

Saltana's words made Luther blush. Just as the other party said, many Caliban knights, including him, believed that the Sirius Knights were traitors who had betrayed the interests of mankind.

For the power of the giant beast, they turned to the alien race without any bottom line.

With the intervention of Ryan Johnson, the war that originally broke out between the Knights of Sirius and the Knights of Order was perfectly resolved. The two sides even turned enemies into friends and united their front.

When Leman Russ and Luther announced the news, the many members of the Knights of Order who were waiting outside and ready to go to war at any time were stunned.

They also didn't know why the enemy suddenly became an ally, and Lord Saltana personally led the way, taking Russ and Luther to visit the fortress monastery of St. Gerula.

Amid such complex emotions, thousands of Caliban knights formed a mighty team, and it was Saltana who led the way.

With the leadership of the Lord of the Sirius Knights, they successfully penetrated into the northern wilderness and saw a grand and solemn city monastery.

It was not until they entered that they discovered that rows of giant iron cages were neatly distributed throughout the city of Saint Gerula.

And inside these iron cages are ferocious Caliban beasts.

According to visual observation, the largest beast was even more than 50 meters long. However, the snake-like beast was tied tightly in an iron cage with thousands of chains and could only roar in anger to intimidate humans.

"What a great city of beasts!" Rus praised.

"I like here."

What Saltana said was true, the Sirius Knights were really imprisoning the behemoths, not using them.

"If we lead our troops into the city and these beasts are released from their cages, we will face an extremely brutal battle."

Sweat oozed from Luther's palms, as if he had already imagined the scene of them attacking Saint Gerula, only to run into a tide of giant beasts breaking out of their cages.

To say that there were heavy casualties is already an understatement in the positive direction. Even if the entire army was wiped out here it would not be surprising.

Each of the Caliban beasts has its own talents, and some can even control incredible powers such as fire and thunder. In the past, even if they wanted to hunt the beasts, they needed to make a plan and lure the beasts away alone before they could take action.

"Fortunately, we have now turned our enemies into friends, and we don't have to suffer such heavy casualties."

“In fact, in addition to helping humans share the corruption of Chaos, the existence of these behemoths also shaped the Knights of Caliban and our cultural traditions.” Saltana said earnestly.

"If the behemoths become extinct, then the foundation and meaning of the Knights' existence will also disappear. Without the threat of the behemoths, turmoil will arise within our society, which will in turn cause our civilization to fall into decline."

"According to the knowledge recorded in our library, there is a very vivid phrase that describes this dilemma."

Sartana recited in a certain language with clear pronunciation: "Without external enemies and internal threats, the country will always perish if the legalists at home and abroad oppose the people."

As the Primarch of the Genes, Lion Jonson was born with a vast amount of knowledge that the Emperor could not master in his entire life. He naturally knew that this sentence came from the ancient dragon kingdom to the east of the Terra Palace.

"What you said makes sense, but not entirely correct," Ryan said.

"Hmm?" Lord Saltana motioned for Lion to express his opinion. For some reason, he always felt that the strange giant in front of him was more like a real Caliban compared to Leman Russ.

"You are talking about the premise that Caliban is just an isolated planet. In such a closed situation, we can only rely on the behemoths to unite and rally our people."

Ryan sighed.

Compared to the older Lord of the Sirius Knights, he had a broader vision and had seen the scenery of the entire galaxy.

“If we step out of the confines of Caliban and look at the entire galaxy, humans are one of the most powerful civilizations.

In this era, humans are the protagonists, while the other Orks, Eldar, Necrons and countless aliens are just defeated enemies. "

"Humanity has never lacked the threat of powerful enemies. Or rather, humanity itself has grown tenaciously from countless threats and climbed to the position of galactic overlord with courage and tenacity."

"We should take a longer-term view, not just limited to this planet. We have many ways to unite humanity."

Lord Saltana was stunned, and only after a long time did he let out a deep breath.

"Perhaps you are right. I am an old man who cannot keep up with the times. Since you and Leman Russ appeared, everything on Caliban has undergone tremendous changes."

"Perhaps one day the behemoth will no longer be our great enemy, and the real great enemy will come from the galaxy, from the subspace opposite to us."
