The Bizarre Adventures of Cloud Hammer

Moreover, as a person who has survived from ten thousand years ago to the present day, the Hammer of Nebula is very likely to know some unknown things.

"That's all I have to say. Let's adjourn."

The Eternal Crusade, one of the few Glorious Queen-class battleships in the Empire, was assigned by Rogal Dorn to the Black Templars led by Sigismund during the Second Founding of the Army, and served as the flagship of the Black Templars headquarters for the next ten thousand years.

After the Koslo Expeditionary Fleet delivered Elder Mallorian's relics to the mountain array, they were recalled to the Black Templars headquarters for accountability and trial. Because of their "failure" on Isil, which led to Elder Mallorian's death, the Koslo Expeditionary Fleet was supposed to go on a one-way atonement expedition, but due to the situation of the expeditionary fleet, the judgment was delayed.

First of all, there is Koslo, the marshal of the expedition fleet. He is now in the ten thousand years of sacred contempt fearlessness of Elder Malorian. It is impossible for the Black Templar to send the elder's relics to the atonement expedition, right?

Then there was Arthur, the sinner who caused the death of the elder. Before his death, Elder Mallorian entrusted him with the task of returning the gene seeds, which was a great achievement for the Imperial Fist Chapter. The commander of the Nebula Hammer Chapter also gave him the sacred artifact accessories of another predecessor.

Elder Mallorian and the predecessors of the Nebula Hammer had obviously anticipated what the Koslo Expeditionary Fleet would encounter, so they used these methods to prevent them from being judged. The current Supreme Marshal of the Black Templar was troubled for a long time, but ultimately failed to make a judgment.

But there are still punishments, otherwise it will be difficult to quell the dissatisfaction of other Dorne heirs.

The Koslo Expeditionary Fleet was disbanded by the headquarters. The company that was thrown into the warp due to the impact will be incorporated into other expeditionary fleets, and the remaining warriors who participated in the Battle of Isil will be sent to the Death Watch for a century of punitive service.

Koslo will remain in the Black Templar headquarters to sleep. His life is not important, but the elder's sacred fearlessness is important.

And Arthur...

When the punishment was handed down, the Grand Marshal wanted to send Arthur into the Deathwatch as a Blackshield, but the Chapter's Chief Chaplain stopped him.

The chief priest told the Supreme Marshal that although Arthur had made a big mistake, he also carried the wishes of the elders, and it was not appropriate to expel Arthur from the regiment. He also told the Supreme Marshal that he had received a vague revelation from the Emperor not long ago, and Arthur's fate would be judged by the Emperor.

"Since it is the Emperor's will..."

In this way, Arthur was taken by the chief priest to a confinement room on the Eternal Crusade. There was a statue of the Emperor in this confinement room, and Arthur would confess in it until the Emperor forgave his mistakes.

On the 169th day after Arthur entered the confinement cell, the warrior servant who regularly delivered meals to Arthur told the chief priest that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the confinement cell.

The chief priest walked into the confinement room. As soon as he entered the room, he felt an inexplicable sense of oppression. He looked forward and saw Arthur half-kneeling in front of the statue of the Emperor with the Blade of Death beside him. This holy sword had been with Arthur during the period of confinement.

"Thank you for your kindness."

Arthur's voice rang out in the confinement room. He slowly stood up, picked up the Death Blade, and gripped the hilt with both hands.

The chief priest's eyes widened, and a golden light appeared in the originally dim confinement room, shining on Arthur.

Arthur turned around and faced the priest. The feeling he gave the chief priest was completely different from 169 days ago, and his gaze made the chief priest's breath catch.

This feeling is like...

The chief priest thought of something, and Arthur said to him calmly:

"I know my mission, my lord."

"Now, please get me out of here."

Arthur couldn't stay in the confinement room any longer, he had a lot of things to do.

A demon world is a planet corrupted and distorted by the power of chaos, usually located in a warp crack. The demon world merges the irregularities of the warp with the real universe, which makes the demon world not bound by the laws of physics, but dominated by the whims and mortal emotions of the demon rulers.

Sicaros is a Daemon World located in the Eye of Terror and the present-day homeworld of the Daemon Primarch Lorgar and the Word Bearers. This planet is a vast cathedral, with temples and monuments of the Chaos Gods covering the entire world, and various buildings on it are constantly increasing, covering it layer by layer.

The Dark Council is the main ruling body of Sikaros. Its seat, the "Temple of Truth", is a huge temple dedicated to the worship of Chaos. It is topped with hundreds of spiked spires that are thousands of meters high. Each spire is covered with jagged spikes and nailed with countless human sacrifices.

The high-ranking dark apostles gathered in the Holy Word Temple. Every dark apostle born in Colchis had sensed not long ago that their former home, Colchis, had appeared in the real universe. However, before they could take any action, the feeling of Colchis disappeared again, as if it was just an illusion.

But if it was an illusion, how could so many dark apostles sense it at the same time? So they began to use various methods to find out what was happening in the real universe.

A high-ranking dark apostle discovered some clues through a ceremony, and it seemed that a large-scale ceremony had been held in the Taiping Star Domain. Based on this clue, the Dark Council immediately began to investigate. They found that there was indeed a dark apostle who went to the Taiping Star Domain for a mission. They tried to contact this dark apostle, but failed to get in touch with him after trying various methods.

"What the hell is this guy doing?"

Colchis, as the former home planet of the Word Bearers, is of great significance to them. How could one person do this? Now it seems that this dark apostle has most likely failed.

The Dark Council prepares to send a reconnaissance team to the site of the ceremony to find out what exactly happened.

"Should we inform the Primarch of this matter?" asked a high-ranking apostle.

The dark apostles all looked towards the huge temple complex in the distance - Templum Inficio. In the ten thousand years since the Heresy, Lorgar Aurelion had rarely left the temple. He spent most of his time meditating inside the temple, forbidding anyone to disturb him.

"The Primarch should have sensed it long ago."

Just as the dark apostle said, Lorgar had sensed the ritual about Colchis a long time ago, but he did not care, because he knew that the failure of the ritual was inevitable, no matter what changes had taken place, the result was already determined.

"Don't bother."

Lorgar's voice echoed in the minds of all the dark apostles on Sicarus.

Even though the Primarch had spoken, there were still some people who wanted to know what was happening in the Pacific Star Region, but they were destined to get nothing.

…………

Carax was a major city on Chemos, the former homeworld of the Emperor's Children. The Emperor's Children's fortress-monastery was located at its center. Following the Heresy, the city, along with Chemos, was destroyed by the Loyalists.

In the Battle of Thessala, Fulgrim led the Emperor's Children to ambush Guilliman's fleet and slit the throat of Lord Macragge of the Emperor's Pride, causing him to fall into a slumber that lasted for ten thousand years. Afterwards, Slaanesh rewarded its favorite by giving Fulgrim a 'Demon World' with the same name as Carax. Fulgrim then abandoned his legion and began to enjoy endless pleasure in Carax.

Since then, countless Chaos pilgrims have flocked to this world in search of Fulgrim, but no one has ever returned from their journey. The fallen Emperor's Children were torn apart by Fulgrim's departure, and some are still searching for Carax so that they can return to their Primarch's side.

For the past ten thousand years, Fulgrim has been on Carax, but recently, this favorite of Slaanesh rarely left Carax. He descended to Harmony, the current homeworld of the Emperor's Children, summoned his former descendants, and gave them a task.

"Come, Lucius, my dear son, tell everyone everything you know." Fulgrim said, stroking Lucius' cheek.

Lucius, defeated by Eryu on Isil, was resurrected once again. He had the Chaos Sorcerers extract his memories so that every member of the Emperor's Children could see them.

The sight of the golden and purple figure battling Lucius awoke a jolt to their already numb spirits. The elegance and nobility, the unique attire and unrivalled swordsmanship of the Third Legion, reminded some of the Emperor's Children who had survived the Great Crusade of a certain man.

"Akulduna?"

The chief commander of the Emperor's Children Legion, Eidolon, recognized the brother in Lucius's memory. Akurduna was too special among the Emperor's Children, and no one who met him would ever forget him.

"It's him!" Lucius said excitedly. Having been defeated by the opponent himself, he believed it more than anyone else. "He's still alive. Akurduna is still alive!"

"Akuldona, my most beloved heir, you all see this familiar figure!" Fulgrim shouted to the Emperor's Children. He could not bear to see his eldest son of the Phoenix "wandering" outside.

"He is not dead. My father and my brothers hid him and let him wield a knife against his former compatriots."

Fulgrim thought back to the battle where Akurduna had been "killed". Who had deceived him? Could it be his beloved Fenus? No, no, no, Fenus would never have such thoughts. That left only one person.

Roboute Guilliman, is this your revenge on me? (Old Thirteen also arrived after the battle)

Thinking of this, the Fallen Phoenix once again gave his order to his offspring ten thousand years later:

"So, my descendants, go find him and let the eldest son of the Phoenix return to his legion and to his beloved Primarch!"

"Let's go, our proud descendants!"

"Go and take our love back!"

(I was still a thousand words short, so I planned to take a half-hour nap until 11:00 AM to finish it, but…)

Chapter 94 Blackstone Fortress

Appu opened his eyes. After several months, he was still not used to the room with the smell of Warhammer. After all, who would like to wake up with a skull face? But Appu did not ask Gloria to change the decoration of the room, because only in this way could he know that he was still in the Warhammer 40k universe, and not that he had returned home.

Sitting up, Apu looked at the time. He had slept for almost a whole day. There was no distinction between day and night in space. As long as Gloria didn't wake them up, everyone would usually sleep until they woke up naturally.

Apu teleported to the cafeteria, ready to eat something to fill his stomach. He saw Eryu sitting at a table eating something, and walked up to him and said:

"It's so early today, Eryu."

Usually, Eryu is the second to last one to get up among everyone, and the last one to get up is Luochen, who used to work and sleep like Batman.

Apu sat opposite Eryu and noticed that Eryu looked a little unhappy. He asked:

"What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well?"

"Nothing, just a nightmare."

Er Yu pressed his temples. For some reason, he dreamed that he was being chased by a group of indescribable creatures. If he was caught by such creatures, his fate would be worse than death.

When Er Yu thought of the scenes in the dream, he couldn't help but feel a chill, and his mind became clear instantly. He had no desire to sleep at all, for fear that he would fall asleep and dream again.

Not long after, the others also woke up one after another. Their bodies had been transformed into superhuman ones. Even if they didn't sleep for a month, it would have no effect on them. The situation of sleeping a whole day and still not feeling full like before no longer existed. Except for Luochen, this guy slept like that purely out of habit.

"Gloria, where are we now?" Brother Ou asked about their current location while eating.

"We are about to enter the star region where the target is located."

In order to give everyone a break, Gloria deliberately did not travel at superluminal speed throughout the entire journey. If she had traveled at full speed, a few hours would have been enough.

"What do you think our coolest, strongest, most powerful and domineering brother Dun asked these Word Bearers to come to the Taiping Star Domain to look for?" Luo Chen asked everyone. He remembered that in the past few decades, Bai Zhan Bai Sheng should have been busy with the 12th Black Expedition. The main area of activity was in the Gothic Star Zone in the Misty Star Domain, with the purpose of seizing the Black Stone Fortress. Why did he send people to the Taiping Star Domain?

Apu: "It's probably related to his long-term plan."

From the First Black Crusade to the Twelfth Black Crusade, our Black Warmaster Abaddon seemed to lose every time, but in fact he achieved his goal every time. On the thirteenth Black Crusade, he dealt a big blow to the Empire, making the Primarch's era bear... rich fruits.

If you calculate carefully, from the first time to the thirteenth time it has been more than ten thousand years, plus the amazing wisdom of winning every battle.

Brother Dun, you are still in O3.

"But Abano only sent a Word Bearers warband, so it shouldn't be anything important." Luochen guessed, "If it was really something important, Hezi Atun would have sent his good brother Gastalin."

Brother Ou: "That's not necessarily the case. It's also possible that the Word Bearers just haven't found it."

Ah Wei: "Why discuss this? We'll know when we get there."

After a while, Gloria reminded everyone:

"We are about to enter the abnormal universe, everyone remember to be prepared."

Everyone changed into their equipment and came to Cambridge. Through the portholes and the holographic images projected by Gloria, everyone saw that the space they entered was filled with "fragments" of all sizes. At first, they were just ordinary meteorites. After the Blue Silver Sword advanced for a while, countless fragments of ships appeared before everyone's eyes.

These ship fragments include not only human space ships, Gloria also detected ship fragments of orcs, elves, and many unknown races from this huge debris belt. Many of the fragments are more than ten thousand years old.

Salted Fish: "It's like a cemetery."

Ah Wei: "Gloria, is there anything we can collect from these fragments?"

"No, these ships were destroyed too thoroughly and too long ago. There is nothing worth retrieving on them." Gloria has been scanning the debris field, trying to find some valuable items.

The Blue Silver Sword advanced slowly through the debris field. Gloria activated the Void Shield to block the fragments that could hit it at any time. After moving a certain distance deeper, Luochen's body suddenly became unstable. He took a plastic chair and sat on it to prevent himself from falling to the ground.

Everyone looked at Luochen lying on the chair and asked:

"Luochen, what's wrong with you? Did you have a stomachache?"

"I don't know. I just feel a little unwell all of a sudden."

Luochen checked his body. He was in good health and all his indicators were within normal range.

"Turn off your psychic perception. There is energy in this space that is affecting the subspace," said Gloria.

Luochen followed Gloria's instructions and turned off his psychic perception, and the uncomfortable feeling in his body quickly disappeared.

Gloria just said that this is an abnormal space. If there were only ship fragments, it would not be considered abnormal. There is a special energy in this space. This energy affects the connection between this space and the subspace, making a large area of the space almost a subspace-free zone. The connection between psychics and the subspace is very deep, and they will be suppressed by this energy after entering this space.

Under the influence of this energy, this area of the universe became extremely difficult to be discovered. Before everyone arrived, there had been no outsiders in this area of the universe for a long time.

"Anti-subspace stance?" Pu Ouchen and the other two said at the same time after listening to Gloria's description.

In Warhammer 40k, there are very few things that have anti-warp capabilities. The most famous among humans are the Untouchables, who can naturally develop an anti-warp stance, but the price is that they become hated by everyone.

Besides the Untouchables, there is another well-known object with anti-warp capabilities - the Black Stone.

Blackstone is a substance used by the Necrons to suppress the energy of the Warp. There are numerous Blackstone buildings and structures built by the Necrons in the Milky Way, and there are also large amounts of Blackstone deposits throughout the Empire.

For thousands of years, few people in the Empire recognized the role of Black Stone. They simply regarded it as an alien creation or the building material of the Necropolis. It was not until the Gothic War that Abaddon, the Black Warmaster of the Eternal War, used the Black Stone Fortress to unleash terrible power. From then on, the Empire, especially the Inquisition and the Mechanicus, really paid attention to Black Stone and its creations.

Even after numerous studies, the Empire still failed to figure out the true function of the Black Stone. It was not until our Dora Kaur discovered the secret of the Black Stone during his archaeological research through the hint of his "friend", an Eldar clown prophet, but at the same time, a terrifying truth was revealed.

During his research on the Black Stone, Cawl discovered destroyed Black Stone artifacts on many planets. Only a few of these destroyed Black Stone artifacts were destroyed by the planet's geological activities or simple weathering and erosion, while most of them were destroyed by the Great Plunderer's fleets during the Black Crusades. This made Cawl aware of the Great Plunderer's conspiracy.

Atun launched the Black Crusade not to destroy the Empire by force, but to destroy the Black Stone artifacts in the Milky Way, thereby introducing a large amount of warp energy into the real universe, weakening the barrier between reality and warp, and ultimately tearing the entire real universe apart! (referring to the Great Rift)

Every failure is a victory. This is the amazing wisdom of our great warmaster, and this is the long-term plan of our most powerful man, Abaddon!

"An anti-subspace stance of this scale must involve a large Black Stone artifact in this universe!"

Everyone inferred that this made Pu Ouchen and the other two who knew about Black Stone very excited. No wonder Brother Dun asked the Word Bearers to come here. It turned out that there really were good things here.

"Gloria, sprint quickly and ignore the fragments." Everyone shouted to Gloria.

"received."

Gloria sped up, knocking away all the garbage blocking the Blue Silver Sword and heading straight for the source of energy.

Soon after, everyone saw a strange "spaceship" not far away. It was the size of an asteroid and had two layers of rotating crosses. When viewed from above, it could form an eight-pointed star.

Blackstone Fortresses——Blackstone Fortress.

"Holy crap, is this really the Blackstone Fortress?!"
