The Bizarre Adventures of Cloud Hammer

"Did you notice any changes in your body after you woke up?"

"When I woke up I just felt hot, but nothing else."

Alan was sorting out the information. He had actually learned from Luochen what had happened to Lanny.

"It is very likely that the Emperor's power has manifested itself in her."

This is what Luochen said to Allen.

This was a matter of great significance. In the ten thousand years of history of the Empire, the Emperor had appeared many times, and the Living Saint was the embodiment of the Emperor's power. However, apart from being a believer, Lanny had little connection with the State Religion, so she might also be another existence, a legend originating from within the Inquisition.

Alan couldn't jump to conclusion about Lanny's situation, but no matter which one it was, Lanny could be of help to the empire today.

Let’s deal with it in the safest way first.

Alan looked at Lannie's age, twenty-two years old, which can be said to be still very young.

"Lanni, I hope you can think carefully about this next matter." Alan's tone became serious.

"Sir, please speak."

"Have you ever considered joining the Sisters?"

After saying goodbye to the others, they returned to the Silver Sword and made an extreme-distance warp jump at Mandeville Point, leaving the galaxy where Isil was.

The Blue Silver Sword escaped from the subspace and hid in an uninhabited area of the universe. Everyone gathered in the restaurant and discussed the incident involving Isil while eating and drinking.

"Review, review!" Apu said to everyone, "Who tried their best? Who committed a crime? Whose weapon was too targeted? Who matched the line in the nest? Whose play style was not team-oriented? Who was unkind?"

Brother Ou: "Didn't we win the fight? Why are you talking like we lost and we're trying to find the traitor?"

Apu: "It's just a formula. Everyone, who is the MVP of this game?"

Luo Chen: "If not me, who else can be the MVP? Without me as the Librarian, who can stop the Word Bearers' ritual? Who can capture the Dark Apostle? Who can kill Kabanha so quickly?"

Looking at the entire battle, Luochen indeed made great contributions. He analyzed the ritual of the Word Bearers and found a way to crack it. He also captured the mastermind of the incident, the Dark Apostle and the Dread Knight of Creation. No matter how you look at it, his performance was MVP-level.

Xianyu: "I object. If it wasn't you, Luochen, who failed to capture the Dark Apostle, how could Kabanha escape? And it wasn't me who took care of Kabanha. Can you win in a 1v1?"

Luochen's performance was very eye-catching, but he also committed a series of sins in the middle, turning a good game of bullying into a high-end game, causing a lot of unnecessary losses. Fortunately, everyone was a master, so it was easy to play a high-end game.

Luochen: "I thought the energy to summon Kabanha wasn't created by you, Xianyu? Why are you blaming me?"

Xianyu: "I've stopped, okay? If you hadn't kept an eye on the Dark Apostle, would the Khorne Ritual have been completed?"

Brother Ou: "Alright, alright, let's not argue about this for now. Even if he committed a crime, Luochen is indeed the MVP of this battle. As for us... let's talk about what we did first."

Ah Wei: "I repaired the defenses of the nest. Without the big demon, the enemy can't attack the rear position at all."

Eryu: "I killed Lucius alone, that's all."

Apoo: "I fought in the space battle, boarded the Word Bearers' flagship, and had my share of sabotage."

Brother Ou listened to everyone's performance this time, and then thought about himself. It seemed that apart from killing a few Slaanesh warriors, implanting concepts to destroy the ritual, and acting out a show, he seemed to be no different from slacking off compared to others.

"It's broken. Is there something wrong with the way I hit it?"

Chapter 91 There is something wrong with our fighting

After reviewing the Battle of Isil, everyone found that they all had some problems, including Gloria, because they did not take this incident seriously at the beginning and were too playful.

"Does it have anything to do with me?" Gloria pretended to be stupid.

"If someone hadn't just scanned it for convenience, would we have discovered the mess the Word Bearers had done so late?"

"Hahaha, that seems to be the case."

Thinking of this, everyone blamed Gloria and refused to accept any rebuttal.

Eryu thought about this experience and said:

"Come to think of it, this incident seems to have gone beyond the course of action we've formulated, right?"

“…It seems so.”

The Isil incident is by no means a small matter. If the Word Bearers' ritual succeeds, Colchis will be resurrected, and the galaxy where Isil is located will become a small Eye of Terror. The enemies include three Chaos warbands, a Chaos fleet, Lucius the Chosen of Slaanesh, the Dark Apostles of the Word Bearers, etc. In the middle, the Khorne Daemon Army is also summoned, and finally the powerful bloodthirsty demon Kabanha appears. The lineup can be said to be quite luxurious.

The action plan that everyone decided upon after arriving at Warhammer 40k was to stay put, not think about any major events, and occasionally help out when encountering some minor incidents. The main task was to collect energy for Gloria so that they could return home as soon as possible.

And this time, Isildur's actions were completely beyond their expectations. If they had not effectively stopped the Word Bearers, the impact of this incident on the galaxy would probably be second only to Abaddon and Cardia. Excluding the things mentioned above, who would have thought that even Fulgrim would show up.

Luochen: "This time... maybe there really is something wrong with our fighting."

"What do you mean?" Everyone looked at Luochen.

Luo Chen: "Let me put it this way, if it weren't for us, the Word Bearers wouldn't have been able to pull off this."

Luochen had previously deduced the fate of Isil. According to the original trajectory of fate, the Word Bearers would still come to Isil, but they would never cause such a big incident, and Lucius and his warband would not join in.

The person sent by the Empire to handle this incident should have been an Inquisitor from the Pacific Star Region, not the master and apprentice pair of Credien and Allen, nor the two Astartes Chapters of the Black Templars and the Celestial Lions. After investigating Isil's situation, this Inquisitor directly used the Extermination Order against Isil, and the Word Bearers didn't even cause any trouble.

Want to stir up trouble? The whole planet is yours.

Dustfall: "And the conditions of the Word Bearers' ritual are quite harsh. If it weren't for our arrival, their ritual would be impossible to complete."

It can be said that everything that happened in Isil was caused by the butterfly effect created by everyone.

Gloria compiled a timeline based on the logbook obtained from the Crown and Luochen's inferences. It all started from the pirate ship that everyone encountered when they were pulled into the Warhammer 40k universe by Gloria.

If everyone had handled the slave laborers on the pirate ship more properly after clearing it out, the Imperial Navy that came to take over the pirate ship would not have been corrupted by Nurgle, Aitis would not have been invaded by this corrupted fleet, and the Slaanesh Cult on Aitis would not have been exposed.

The Slaanesh Cult was wiped out by everyone after being exposed. The leader Flaroni took over the body of the planetary governor Diaz and secretly sent a special astropathic message. It was this astropathic message that attracted Lucius who was supposed to be in the Ultramarine. After everyone left, Lucius and his warband destroyed Aitis, and then went to the Pacific Segmentum. They met the Dark Apostle's Messenger of Suffering warband and joined them, which helped the Word Bearers meet one of the conditions of the ceremony.

The destruction of Atis prompted the master and apprentice pair of Credien and Allen to start investigating the incident, and they traced it all the way to Isil. Credien then handed the incident over to Allen. Allen's prophecy let him know the ending of Isil, which was originally the best ending for Isil, but it misled Allen and made him think that this was the result of his own poor performance.

In order to change the prophecy, Allen wanted to increase the strength on his side, so he sent a communication to the Nebula Hammer, hoping to get support from the Nebula Hammer. After receiving Allen's message, everyone rushed to Isil. It was the arrival of everyone that helped the Word Bearers achieve a condition in the ceremony that was almost impossible to achieve.

huge change.

To complete the Word Bearers' ritual, a large amount of Warp energy (Demonic Host Batteries) is required, and the concepts of Colchis must be integrated into Isil (Colchis Fragments), but these two are only preliminary preparations. In order for the ritual to be successful, the conditions of the Four Chaos Gods must be met, and the power of the Four Gods must be used to initiate the entire ritual.

Khorne and Nurgle are the two evil gods with the most followers, so it is relatively easy to meet their conditions, and the Word Bearers also have ways to meet these two conditions.

Slaanesh was very difficult. Those rubbish Slaanesh cultists on Isildur simply could not meet the required standards, but Lucius's joining made up for this and helped the Word Bearers meet Slaanesh's conditions.

Tzeentch's conditions directly blocked the Word Bearers' plans. None of their actions could cause the changes required by the ritual. Until the arrival of the Nebula Hammer, Isil's predetermined fate was disrupted and changes occurred.

After reviewing the whole process from beginning to end, everyone fell into silence. It seemed that there was really something wrong with their playing this time. If it weren't for their xjb's interference, the Isil incident would not have become such a big deal.

But if you really want to get it back to the root of it, it's all Gloria's fault!

"Gloria, is there something wrong with the way you hit me?"

"I'm sorry I was wrong."

Let’s not talk about the fact that all of this was caused by Gloria dragging everyone into Warhammer 40k. If Gloria had been smarter and didn’t turn the hull into a merchant ship, would the pirate ship still dare to board everyone?

If it hadn't been boarded, everyone would have just thought it was a passing ship and left it alone.

"That's not right. Gloria's transformation only affects her appearance and firepower, and her defenses aren't affected. We know she forgot to activate her Void Shield, but how could the pirates' boarding torpedoes penetrate the Emperor's Dream's armor?" Ah Wei discovered a subtle point. (Second reminder: High-powered Void Shields can block slow-moving targets.)

"Gloria?" Everyone raised doubtful voices. Could it be that Gloria had deliberately let them be boarded?

"I really didn't mean to do that. The changes were not perfect at the time, and some loopholes appeared when the shape was compressed. Plus, I forgot to lower the protection of the portholes, which allowed the boarding torpedo to crash in." Gloria tried hard to explain. She really wasn't plotting against them.

After listening to Gloria's explanation, everyone just sighed and said:

"We believe you, Gloria. If you can come up with these calculations, then we recommend you to participate in the selection of the best actress in the multiverse. As a college student from a higher-dimensional civilization, you are the only one in the entire multiverse who can act so unreliable."

"Why do your words feel so hurtful?"

Everyone: "Speaking of which, Gloria, what is the standard of your 'university'?"

"Of course it's the top university. In your country, it would be at the same level as Peking University and Tsinghua University. In the world, it is also ranked among the top few." Gloria said proudly.

Everyone: "Oh."

He only has this... uh, 'innocent' look, and doesn't look like a student from a world-class university at all.

"How perfunctory! Can't we have some applause?"

clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap...

Ou Ge: "Okay, I can only say that this incident is indeed our fault, but we have become the butterfly that stirs up the storm, haven't we?"

This time on Isildur, everyone has done a lot of things. Who knows what kind of trouble the gene seeds of Fulgrim and the Imperial Fist will cause in the future.

A Pu: "And there are yellow-skinned people peeping."

Everyone already knew that the yellow-skinned man possessed Big Head and was peeping. When Apu asked Lanny if she had encountered anything strange, Lanny said that she couldn't see Xianyu for a short period of time in the arena, and she thought it was an illusion caused by fatigue.

In other words, Lanny was possessed by the Yellow Skin Monster when she was in the arena, but even though she was possessed by the Yellow Skin Monster, she couldn't see everyone, so the Yellow Skin Monster changed his method and directly possessed Lanny and asked Bayar to relay the message to him.

Brother Ou: "It seems that the yellow fox has discovered us. Let's talk about what to do."

Ah Wei: "If he finds us, then he finds us. Can't he see us?"

Luochen: "Actually, I'm wondering if the things we encountered along the way were the work of the Emperor."

"Impossible. I know I'm not very reliable, but I will never let external forces affect your fate. Everything you experience is your own choice." Gloria once again assured everyone that those five guys would not be able to lay their hands on them no matter what, and there was no way they could take advantage of her companions.

Apu: "Then leave it alone!"

With Gloria's assurance, everyone stopped thinking too much.

Er Yu: "What if this emperor really comes to us?"

Brother Ou: "It depends on our mentality and his attitude. If he wants to use force, then we will just run away and then find a way to retaliate against him. Let's see if he still behaves."

For the empire, helping is a favor, and not helping is our duty. If someone wants to turn kindness into duty, then don't blame everyone for turning against him. The galaxy is so big, do we have to help your anthropomorphic empire?

Xianyu: "Speaking of which, we didn't just spend money this time, did we gain anything?"

Apu: "Yes, Gloria's energy, the contact information of the Black Templar and the Heavenly Lions..."

The subspace energy absorbed by Gloria alone made everyone earn a lot of money this time, and the energy consumed before was not a big deal at all.

"If you hadn't mentioned Xianyu, I would have almost forgotten about it."

Ah Wei teleported away for a while, and when he came back, he had a box of gene seeds in his hand. He said to everyone:

"Guess whose gene-seed this is?"

Eryu: "Don't be a riddle teller, tell me the answer."

Everyone is very tired and doesn't want to guess riddles anymore.

Ah Wei: "Remember the Night Lords?"

During the enemy's initial attack, the Scarlet Blood Blade Gang sent their Midnight Lords squad to try to sneak into the position and cause damage. As expected, they discovered the underground pipes that Wei had specially left, and most of them were killed by the various traps inside. Two of them survived the traps, but were still submerged in quick-drying cement and trapped to death in the pipes.

After the war, Wei entered the pipe and found that the two bat boys in the quick-drying cement were not dead yet. After finishing them off, he found that the gene seeds of these bat boys were quite pure and were not affected by the chaos pollution. After purifying them for Gloria, they could be used as pure seeds.

Apu: "But what use are we having Batboy's seeds for? Are we going to trade them with Batboy's renegade war gang?"

"It's actually quite useful," Gloria said. "I can use this gene-seed to add Night Lord traits to androids, so we can have a stealth force."

Ou Ge: "But don't we already have Raven Guard seeds? Why not use Ravens for stealth troops?"

In terms of stealth alone, the Raven Guard's metaphysical stealth is not much better than the Night Lords' physical stealth.

Luochen: "I think it's okay. The Night Lords and the Raven Guard don't use the same tactics. When we meet someone who doesn't need a map, we can let Batboy give them a surprise."

Brother Ou: "Indeed, it is possible."

There are too many monsters and demons in the galaxy, and sometimes you have to be ruthless, and the Midnight Lord is just right for this task.

Apu: "But when I got the gene seeds from the Oil Man, Gloria, why didn't you tell us that we could use them this way? If there were a Raven Guard on Ysil, wouldn't things like reconnaissance be much easier?"

"……I forgot."

The matter of Isil came to an end. Ah Wei asked everyone:

"Where are we going next? We're not going to Macragge again, are we?"

"No, is there any place to go in this Storm Star Region?"

As the Storm Star Region is a relatively unknown one among the five major star regions, Pu Ouchen and the other two only remember the Markarian Expedition.

"I do have a place I could go," Gloria said.

"Where?" everyone asked.

Gloria unfolded a map with a location marked on the edge of the Taiping Star Region. From the map, this location was not far from where everyone was.

"I found this on the Word Bearers' flagship. The information inside said that heading to this location was the Word Bearers' mission in the Pacific Star Region."
