The Bizarre Adventures of Cloud Hammer

"Let's wait until the day when the Emperor can truly allow all those who believe in him to return to the Golden Throne."

What Luochen wanted to say was actually similar. Respecting the Emperor did not prevent him from playing a hellish joke on the Emperor and the Empire. For example, the soul returned to the Golden Throne. No matter how pious ordinary people were, their souls would only go to the Warp after death. Those who were lucky would naturally dissipate, and those who were unlucky would be eaten by Warp creatures. Only the most precious currencies could get the Emperor's attention.

"Then the question is, since we all don't like the Emperor and the Empire, if we encounter a human world suffering, should we help or not?" Apu wanted to know whether everyone would stand idly by and watch the suffering of the human world.

Xianyu: "If you want to help, then help. If you don't want to help, then don't help."

Brother Ou: "Let's just look at the score. We will definitely not intervene in the human civil war. As for the alien invasion, if it's the Titanium, we won't intervene. White Bean Sprouts can ask the reason. Wild Bean Sprouts and Black Bean Sprouts are recommended to just go for it. The Tyranids and Greenskins can just fight and be done with it. As for Chaos, I don't need to say anything."

Luochen: "The Titanium City hasn't started expanding yet, but I have no objection to fighting Chaos."

To borrow the words of a certain Jogris top laner, the Empire and the Emperor are not good things, and Chaos is nothing at all.

Ah Wei: "I don't care. It's up to you guys."

Er Yu: "I'll help if I can. After all, we are all human beings."

Everyone expressed their opinions, and after discussion, they unanimously decided that they would ignore the human civil war, and if there was a Chaos invasion, they would join in. As for the aliens, it was basically the same as what Brother Ou said, Titanium would not care, and being taken over by Titanium was a blessing for the Imperial World. As for the others, they would fight when they needed to, and let it go if they couldn't win. The first priority was to survive.

At this point in the meeting, the only remaining issues were some minor ones, such as their height. It was still the early stages of M41, and it was still a long time before the Primaris appeared. Their height was much taller than that of ordinary Astartes. How would they explain this to others if they met them in the future?

Could it be that we are all Alpharius?

Luochen thought of using psychic power to change his height. Relying on psychic power, he can freely change his body size and even disguise himself as another race.

Psychic power, isn’t it magical?

But Fallout couldn't change anyone else, so the problem was ultimately resolved with Gloria's help.

Gloria can change the size of everyone just like she changes the appearance of the battleship, but their output will not be limited. Although they have become the size of the Primal Astartes (average armored height of about 2.4m), they still have the data of the Primal Astartes (lower limit). I believe it will definitely give the enemy an unexpected surprise.

Speaking of body shape, Brother Ou suddenly remembered something:

"I almost forgot, we need to change our armor too."

Brother Ou was not referring to the size of the power armor, but the paint job of their power armor.

The Iron Warriors, Thousand Sons, and Emperor's Children's liveries and insignias cannot be worn outside. If the Traitor Legion's power armor is worn outside, the Imperial Army and some founding legions will come to attack.

You can't go out wearing Apu's Dark Angels Legion power armor. If you are discovered by the Dark Angels, the inner ring will be at your doorstep in no time.

It’s best not to wear Brother Ou’s 30k winning army suit outside, it’s a bit too conspicuous.

As for Xianyu's mk10, just change it to a different set.

"I've wanted to ask this for a long time, why are all your power armors so fancy, but mine is so plain?" Xianyu was a little dissatisfied. Why was his power armor just like the blank one in StarCraft 2?

Apu: "Maybe it's because the Blood Angels aren't that fancy. Xianyu, you can try the Blood Guard's tacky golden wing muscle armor." (Personal opinion)

Anyway, I have to change it later, so I don’t care much about it.

"Finally, what should we call our chapter? No warband, or should we just pretend to be a Deathwatch squad?"

Back to the original question, as Astartes, everyone needs to pretend to be a tiger, otherwise it will be embarrassing if they can't answer when someone asks them which chapter they are from.

Disguised as Deathwatch is a good choice. All they need to do is paint their uniforms black and replace their shoulder armor with black shields to avoid some problems in the battle group. The six people can just pretend to be a kill team, and they also have the Raven Black Star, which is absolutely perfect in disguise.

"Why can't we have both?" Awei asked. Why can't we just be our own regiment under normal circumstances and disguise ourselves as other regiments when needed?

Brother Ou: "It's certainly possible, but why do we feel like we have an Ah Fa flavor?"

Luochen: "This is really all Alpharius now."

After discussion, everyone decided on the name of their six-member regiment (warband) - Nebula Hammer, or Cloud Hammer Regiment for short.

At the same time, they also gave Gloria's battleship a name - the Blue Silver Sword.

Everyone decided on the settings for the battle group, and the meeting ended here.

Apu stood up, stretched, and asked everyone:

"Finally done, what do you guys want to do next?"

Now they are still sailing in the subspace, and they don’t know what to do in the battleship. At this time, Luochen thought of something.

"How about we have a meal first?"

Chapter 11 In the Subspace

In the cafeteria of the Blue Silver Sword, everyone wanted to see what Gloria had prepared for them in the kitchen. As single men, they all had cooking skills that would keep them from starving, although they had little time to cook by themselves.

At this time, Luochen suddenly called everyone and said that since they had arrived in the Warhammer 40k universe, how could they not evaluate the Imperial specialties? So he took the things he and Ou Ge had brought back from the Eyeless Winged Serpent to the cafeteria, and then placed the cans in front of everyone.

The packaging of this can, which is no bigger than a palm, has a sense of inferior quality, as if it was produced by an unscrupulous factory. The name of the can is written in crooked words on the wrapping paper - Soylens Viridians, which can be translated as bright green lecithin derivatives.

When Gloria was transforming everyone, she stuffed all the common languages in Warhammer 40k into their brains, which is why Eryu was able to communicate with the slaves.

At first glance, the name of this food seems normal, right? But this thing has a more famous name in the Warhammer 40k universe -

[Corpse starch]

Corpse starch is a special delicacy in the human empire. It is a common food source for many interstellar troops and the empire's civilians. Most civilians living in the empire's hive worlds eat this stuff from birth to death. It contains all kinds of nutrients needed by the human body. Although the name is a bit unpleasant, most corpse starch is an artificially synthesized by-product of the refining process of promethium. Yes, it is the promethium that serves as fuel for the empire's warships.

But please note that although we said earlier that 'most' corpse starch is a by-product of promethium, a considerable amount of corpse starch still contains corpses of various organisms. Otherwise, the name would be a misnomer, wouldn't it?

When the can was opened, a greenish-yellowish sticky paste appeared before everyone's eyes. (The color of corpse starch is not fixed.)

Like, very similar.

People looking embarrassed by the imperial cuisine.jpg

"Why doesn't everyone want to eat?" Luo Chen kept encouraging everyone.

"Luochen, why don't you eat it? Didn't you take this out?" As soon as Eryu got the can, he knew that Luochen was a bad guy with bad intentions.

"Good things should be tasted by everyone first, right? Look how many people I have."

In response to Luochen's generosity, Xianyu, Awei and Eryu looked at him with distrust. As for Apu and Ou Ge, they could hardly hold back their laughter.

"Lao Pu, what is this thing, Brother Ou?" A Wei asked directly.

"Forget it, forget it, let's not play with fire." Brother Ou asked Luochen to stop. It was a bit inhumane to let his companions eat corpse starch.

Salted Fish: “So what is this?”

Apu: "Corpse starch desu~"

Knowing the answer, the three of them looked at Luochen together. Feeling their gazes, Luochen laughed awkwardly twice.

"Uh, why are you looking at me? It's not necessarily made by a corpse."

"Oh, how can we have the nerve to eat such delicious food? How about you, Luochen, eat it all for us?"

Xianyu stood up and slowly approached Luochen with a can of corpse starch. Awei and Eryu also walked behind Luochen.

"No, I was wrong, Red Bean Paste Private Marseille~" Luochen immediately admitted his mistake. Otherwise, he would really be fed with corpse starch.

"Don't make such a joke next time."

The three of them returned to their seats and threw the can of corpse starch into the trash can.

Luo Chen's actions reduced everyone's already poor appetite, but he did not give up on letting everyone evaluate the imperial cuisine.

"No, no, no, this time it's really good stuff."

Luochen took out a few more square cans. There was a picture of a strange creature with sharp jaws on the packaging, and the name of the can was written below - Ant Bull Cans.

"What is this?" Not trusting Luochen, Awei asked Apu and Ou Ge again.

"Well, Luochen didn't lie. This can is indeed a good thing." Apu began to explain the creature called ant bull painted on the can.

Ant-bull is a dangerous omnivore in Warhammer 40k. Due to its ferocious nature and habit of digging holes everywhere, the ant-bull cannot be domesticated. However, because the meat of the ant-bull is extremely delicious, it has become one of the most common meat products in the Empire, and a considerable portion of it is provided to the Imperial nobility and the Astra Militarum.

But - as mentioned before, ant bulls are dangerous creatures, not only because of their own fighting power, but also because of the parasites and eggs that exist on them.

There are countless parasites and eggs on each ant cow. These parasites are actually the larvae of the ant cow. They have extremely strong vitality. Even if the ant cow is killed, these parasites and eggs can continue to survive, and even grow and hatch.

Therefore, if you want to enjoy ant meat, it must undergo strict inactivation treatment. Once the parasites and eggs in the ant meat are not completely killed, or the shelf life has expired, the parasites and eggs in the ant meat will revive and then begin to attack those unlucky people who are tasting the ant meat.

The ant beef provided to the powerful and influential has of course undergone multiple processing to ensure absolute safety, but the canned ant beef provided to the bigwigs of the Star Army is not of good quality. If you are lucky, you will eat the canned ant beef, but if you are unlucky, the can will eat you.

And the can of ant bulls Luochen took from the pirate ship...

"Why are all the foods in the empire such abstract things?" Er Yu couldn't help but complain.

"It's not that the empire doesn't have normal food, but only the powerful and wealthy in the empire can enjoy the real delicacies," said Apu.

"How about I go get a flamethrower first?" After hearing how dangerous ant beef was, Xianyu thought it would be better to prepare in advance.

"Salted fish, do you really want to eat this?"

Awei had no intention of eating the canned ant bull food. Even if it was edible, it would take a lot of effort to process it.

"Isn't it said to taste good? Let's try it."

After listening to Apu's introduction, Xianyu really became interested in ant beef. How delicious must it be that so many people in the empire would risk their lives to eat it?

Gloria had been watching for a while, wondering why these six people hadn't entered the kitchen yet, so she said:

"If you really want to eat it, it is recommended to inactivate it first. The tools are available in the kitchen. I have also prepared normal food for you."

"If you want to eat salted fish, try it yourself. I'll go see what's in the kitchen."

Apu got up and walked towards the kitchen, which was fully equipped with all kinds of kitchen utensils. However, what Apu cared about was what kind of food Gloria had prepared for them. It shouldn't be Warhammer 40k food, as they didn't have much information about 40k food in their heads.

When he opened the refrigerator, what was inside was not the Warhammer 40k specialty food that Apu had imagined, but real food from the 3K era, from meats such as chicken, duck, fish, pork, beef and mutton, to vegetables and fruits, as well as rice, noodles and bread. This cafeteria had all the food that could be found on Earth, and even provided alcohol and drinks.

"How about I treat you well?" Gloria said proudly. She looked at everyone's memories of Warhammer 40k food and felt that it was not something that the people on Earth in the 3k period could accept, so she only kept some relatively normal things.

"Gloria, you did a great job, great job!" Apu gave a thumbs up. Since there were normal food from the 3K period, the 40K specialties could be put aside. He would wait until he was in the mood to eat that day.

"There are normal foods here, why do you have to make it difficult for yourself to eat those things?"

The others also went into the kitchen. Under Gloria's guidance, Xianyu threw the can of ant bull into an instrument that looked like an oven. Eryu took a piece of beef from the refrigerator, Luochen took a piece of bread to fill his stomach first, and Ou Ge and Awei also prepared to make something they liked to eat. Gloria also thoughtfully prepared recipes for everyone.

After everything was ready, everyone started their first meal in the Warhammer 40k universe.

"Look, we have meat, vegetables, soup, cola and fruit here. The food the imperial nobles eat may not be as good as ours." Apu looked at the dishes on the table. They couldn't eat anything on this table in Warhammer 40k. The flora and fauna of Terra in the 3k era had been extinct for many years, and even the recipe for the drink had been lost. Even the Emperor might not be able to recall the taste of it.

In fact, Gloria also prepared wine for everyone, but these six people didn't really drink.

"Explore the thick walls of the shop, tell the real salted fish! Today, let's try the imperial specialty food, Ant Bull!"

Xianyu turned those cans of ant bull into braised ant beef. He picked up a piece of brown meat, put it in his mouth and began to chew it seriously.

"How does it taste?" Everyone looked at the salted fish curiously.

Xianyu swallowed the meat and began to speak of his evaluation:

“It tastes similar to beef, but has a stronger texture and is juicier when chewed.”

"Is it possible that the juiciness comes from the eggs in the meat?"

"Awei, shut up!"

Everyone also tried Xianyu's braised ant beef, and it really tasted like beef as Xianyu said. It might also require better cooking techniques to make it taste better.

During the meal, Eryu suddenly thought of something. When Gloria was making the subspace jump, she covered all the portholes on the ship. He asked Gloria:

"We are in some kind of subspace now, right? Can you let me see what the subspace looks like?"

"Are you sure? I don't recommend looking directly into the warp," Gloria said.

"Is there something wrong with the subspace?"

"This is a huge problem," Apgeryu explained. "Some of the chaotic phenomena in the subspace are likely to have an impact on the mind."

"We are all Astartes, so why should we be afraid of these things?"

"It's better to be safe than sorry. Who knows if you might see something you shouldn't see." Brother Ou also doesn't recommend going to the subspace. After all, this is the territory of the Four Gods.

Gloria came up with an idea and said:

"I can filter the subspace images and project them to you, so you don't have to worry about seeing anything strange."

Gloria projected the image of the subspace into the cafeteria. In the eyes of everyone, the subspace was a strange space mixed with red and purple, and strange phenomena were happening all the time.

"Is that a whale?"

Xianyu saw a huge whale-like creature swimming in the distance of the picture.

"Void Whale, a subspace creature." Brother Ou introduced.

In the warp, in addition to demons, there are many other warp creatures. The Void Whale is the largest known warp creature. Its adult body can reach 20,000 kilometers in length, which is much larger than the earth.

Eryu: "Are there still such creatures in the subspace?"
