The Bizarre Adventures of Cloud Hammer

Everyone was shocked when they saw the Blackstone Fortress in the distance (except Eryu). As Cloud Hammers, they only knew about the six Blackstone Fortresses in the Gothic Star Sector and knew nothing about the other Blackstone Fortresses.

Many people once thought that the Blackstone Fortress was a creation of the Necrons. In fact, the Blackstone Fortress was a large spaceship built by the Eldar (possibly with the work of the Ancients) in ancient times to prevent the return of the great enemy of the War in Heaven. The Eldar named it the "Vaul Amulet" after their forging god "Vaul".

Blackstone Fortresses are asteroid-sized spacecraft that can generate enormous amounts of energy even in dormant mode. The technology contained in them far exceeds the current knowledge of any species in the Milky Way (including the Eldar themselves). Once fully activated, Blackstone Fortresses can break the barrier between the real universe and the Warp, creating a beam of pure Warp energy that destroys everything in its path. The power of Blackstone Fortresses increases with their number. Two Blackstone Fortresses can destroy a planet, and three Blackstone Fortresses can transform a star into a supernova, while remaining unscathed in such a catastrophe.

Such terrifying power naturally caught the eye of our brother Dun. It was precisely because of the capture of the Blackstone Fortress during the Gothic War that the 13th Blackstone Expedition was able to destroy Cadia at the last moment and tear apart the entire galaxy! (referring to throwing the Blackstone Fortress like a brick)

"Wait a minute, since it's the Blackstone Fortress, why does it have an anti-subspace stance?" Luo Chen asked in confusion. He remembered that the main purpose of the Blackstone Fortress was to amplify subspace energy.

Ah Wei: "Luochen, have you forgotten that Blackstone can be reversed? Think about what that stupid oil guy in Star Warrior 2 did?"

Blackstone has two polarities. After reversing the polarity through some means, Blackstone will become an amplifier of warp energy. In the game Star Warrior 2, the boss used a self-righteous oil man to reverse the polarity of Blackstone, amplifying the warp energy in the magical "Psionic Plague" of the warp. Blackstone Fortress, as a Blackstone creation, naturally also has this characteristic.

Er Yu: "The warship fragments in this space... couldn't all be destroyed by this Black Stone Fortress? Could there still be people inside?"

Luochen: "It's very possible, but I remember that Blackstone Fortress was created by the undead. There won't be any ribs sleeping inside, right?"

Ou Ge: "Not necessarily. Blackstone Fortress doesn't explicitly say it's a creation of the undead... and I remember reading somewhere that Blackstone Fortress has self-awareness."

Blackstone Fortress has nothing to do with humans. Its self-awareness is definitely not the so-called machine soul, but most likely some kind of highly intelligent AI.

Ah Wei: "Now what do we say and what should we do?"

Now that we are all here, we can't just take a look. Since Blackrock Fortress is a good thing, there is no reason not to take it.

I think no one wants this Blackstone Fortress.

Apu: "Gloria, do you have a way to take over this Black Stone Fortress?"

"It's a bit troublesome. This Black Stone Fortress is still operating, and I've also detected an intelligence controlling it. If I forcibly absorb it, it's likely to destroy everything along with me."

The Blackstone Fortress is not a small ship with low technological content. Gloria cannot absorb it directly. If the intelligence on the Blackstone Fortress begins to resist, even if the Emperor's Dream is revealed, it will not be able to match the firepower of the Blackstone Fortress. However, there is no problem in protecting itself.

This Black Stone Fortress is obviously different from the six built by the Empire in the Gothic Star Sector, and the ship fragments around it can be basically confirmed to be its work.

"Then what should we do?" everyone asked. They did not have the two artifacts in Brother Dun's hands that could remotely control the Blackstone Fortress.

"I need you to sneak into the Blackstone Fortress and shut down its energy system. As soon as the energy system is shut down, I can immediately invade the fortress and beat the intelligence inside to its knees. Then the fortress will belong to us." Gloria gave the method.

"sneak into?"

"Yes, the kind that can only succeed and cannot fail. If we are discovered, the intelligence on the Blackstone Fortress will be alerted, and we will not have another chance."

Speaking of infiltration, everyone immediately remembered what Gloria had said before, that genetic seeds could be used to add characteristics to androids. For this kind of infiltration mission where success is the only option, is there a better choice than the Raven Guard?

Apu: "Since we're going to go stealth, Gloria, get a team of Raven Guards."

"It's already prepared for you."

Gloria has prepared a team of Raven Guard androids, which can be remotely controlled by everyone through consciousness connection.

Gloria distributed the Raven Guard's instruction manual to everyone so that they could understand how to use the Raven Guard's capabilities. If they couldn't even turn it on, what was the point of talking about its performance?

But Apu didn't read the instructions because he didn't plan to control it remotely.

He has decided to take over the Blackstone Fortress!

Chapter 95 Take it!

Maybe many people have no idea about the title of the First Legion, the Dark Angels. It is time to open the text from ten thousand years ago to let you see the value of the First Legion!

As the first Astartes Legion created by the Emperor, the Dark Angels have an endless supply of talented individuals and cutting-edge technology. From the various celestial armies before the Lion King's return, we can see that the Dark Angels have always been a legion that has combined the strengths of various schools and developed comprehensively. Taking the two celestial armies related to stealth and infiltration as an example, the Dark Angels have the ghost-like Skeleton Legion that specializes in fear tactics, and the Burning Legion that specializes in special operations such as stealing important information and beheading leaders. It can be said that the Dark Angels have been using the Midnight Lords and Alpha's tactics for a long time, but they are not as strong as these two legions.

After the Lion King returned, the Celestial Army was re-divided into the Six Wings of Angels, but their functions did not change much. During the Great Crusade, both the Dark Angels and the Ultramarines were well-rounded and genetically stable legions. In terms of warrior panel alone, the Dark Angels were stronger than the Ultramarines.

By 40k, four of the six wings of angels were gone, leaving only the Deathwing and the Ravenwing. So it’s no wonder that the current Inner Circle Demon Witnesses can’t catch Fallen Angels. They really can’t beat the old ones in the past.

As a 'Dark Angel', Ap's strength does not only come from his own template. He almost integrates the advantages of the Heavenly Army and the Six Wings (except for the Five-pointed Heavenly Army who are good at psychic power but unstable), and is a true 'Perfect Astartes'.

Appu's comprehensive abilities allow him to adapt to most of Astartes' tasks. In frontal combat, Appu is not as good as Xianyu and Eryu, but if the three are placed in a complex environment, Appu can rely on various means to make up for the disadvantages and even gain advantages. In terms of stealth, Appu is also confident that he is not much inferior to the stealth masters in the Raven Guard.

"Apu, are you really not going to use Raven Guard?" everyone asked Apu, "Gloria said we only have one chance, so we must not be discovered when the time comes."

"Believe me, okay? Do you understand the value of the older generation of Dark Angels?"

Apoo changed into stealth gear and his melee weapon, the Power Claw, often used by the Night Lords and Raven Guard. Although "Power Claw" can also be referred to as Lightning Claw, there are still some differences between the two. Power Claw is a power weapon mounted on the arm, which can be folded up normally and only popped out when in use. (The Lightning Claw is an integrated power claw that can be folded back on the back of the hand, similar to the Predator's arm claw)

"I'm changing into the Night Lord's armor. No one will recognize that I'm a Dark Angel, okay?" Appu did a classic move of Coze that could make people fly at a glance.

After the joke, everyone boarded the multi-person stealth boat bound for Blackstone Fortress and flew to the fortress entrance scanned by Gloria. As they approached the Blackstone Fortress, they discovered that the Blackstone Fortress was so huge that it was probably not much smaller than the mountain array.

After entering the fortress, everyone was immediately attracted by the unique structure inside, which had a unique style compared to the human empire.

In order to avoid being detected by the Blackstone Fortress's intelligent communication waves, everyone remained silent all the way, communicating through gestures, and moving towards the energy center scanned by Gloria.

The interior of the entire Blackstone Fortress is like a maze. If you are not careful, you may get lost inside the Blackstone Fortress. Ordinary imperial ships cannot clearly scan the structure and routes inside the Blackstone Fortress, but this does not pose a problem for Gloria.

When entering a hall, Apu, who was walking in front, stopped everyone. There were many unknown drones wandering in the hall in front of them. These drones were obviously the guards of the Blackstone Fortress.

"We have to go around." Apu used gestures to inform everyone that it was not clear whether these drones had the ability to scan them, so it would be better to go around them to be on the safe side.

"agree."

Everyone agreed with Apu's proposal. Although the Raven Guards they controlled had strong stealth capabilities, who knew whether these ancient creations had any strange functions.

Everyone exited the hall and continued forward from another road. Along the way, they saw many unknown creations in the Blackstone Fortress. If these creations were taken to the human empire to buy, each one could be sold at a sky-high price, enough for a low-nest man to complete a class leap. However, everyone cared more about the technology in these alien creations. As long as everyone captured the Blackstone Fortress, everything inside would be theirs.

They had walked about half the way and everything was normal. It seemed that their infiltration was successful. The intelligence of the Blackstone Fortress did not detect that anyone had invaded the fortress. At this rate, they would soon reach the energy center of the Blackstone Fortress.

Soon after, everyone entered an area with multiple exits. Everyone advanced slowly and cautiously to prevent any strange things from suddenly appearing in the area. When they were about to reach the exit of the area, something unusual happened inside the Blackstone Fortress.

In order to be more alert to the surroundings, there was a certain distance between everyone, but this distance only took less than a second for everyone to complete the gathering. However, the weirdness of the Blackstone Fortress was far beyond everyone's imagination. As soon as everyone felt a slight vibration in the ground, and before they could complete the gathering, the sudden change in the area structure separated everyone in the next second.

In the ever-changing space, Apu felt that the distance between himself and his companions was widening, and he contacted Gloria:

"Gloria, have we been discovered?"

"The Blackstone Fortress's intelligence did not respond. You were not discovered."

Gloria has been monitoring the intelligence of Blackstone Fortress, and it is impossible to do anything under Gloria's nose.

"So what's going on?" Apu asked.

"It should be that this Black Stone Fortress changes its internal structure regularly, and you are unlucky to have run into it." Gloria said. The changes in the internal structure of the Black Stone Fortress required her to re-scan it.

"How are the others?"

"Wait a moment, I'm rescanning the interior of Blackstone Fortress. Okay, now you are in three different areas."

Gloria told Apu about everyone's situation. Now Ou Ge, Awei and Luochen are together, Xianyu and Eryu are together, and Apu is the only one left alone.

"I'm the only one who's unlucky."

"Blackstone Fortress shouldn't be changing any more for the time being. I've planned a route for you. You'll meet in an area in front of the energy center."

Gloria sent the new map to everyone. Apu looked at his position and found that the distance between him and the energy center was a little shorter than before.

Apu continued to move forward, and when he walked into a corridor, he finally saw the "tourists" who had entered the Black Stone Fortress besides the crowd.

In the corridor, Apu saw many corpses, including humans, elves, and some races that Apu did not recognize. These corpses had been there for a long time. The equipment worn by some of the human corpses was quite different from that of the current human empire.

"Humans before the Great Crusade?"

Apu came to a human corpse, but he did not touch anything. In many adventure movies, a series of events happened because of the clumsy hands.

After looking at several different corpses, Apu was about to leave the corridor of corpses when he heard footsteps. These footsteps could not have come from anyone else, as the Raven Guards would not make any sound when walking.

"Has anyone else entered the Black Stone Fortress?" Apu thought, but he immediately dismissed this speculation. With Gloria outside, if anyone else really came to this area of the universe, Gloria would definitely inform them. In this case, the only possibility is that it was the 'natives' of the Black Stone Fortress.

Apu found a shadow and hid there, waiting for the owner of the footsteps to show up. Soon a pale humanoid creature appeared in his sight. This humanoid creature with sharp teeth looked like a skinned and resurrected corpse, with a pair of purple claws. There were no eyes on its head, but instead multiple olfactory holes.

Alien.

Although Apu did not want to define the so-called aliens, subhumans and xenomorphs by the standards of the human empire, there was no better adjective for the creatures before him than xenomorphs. Their behavior did not seem like that of highly intelligent beings, but more like that of beasts.

The alien walked to where Apu was just now. It seemed to smell the lingering scent in the air. It growled like a beast and began to search for the hidden 'prey' in the area.

The alien was searching in the corridor and didn't notice that Apu had come behind it. The power claws popped out, and Apu separated the alien's neck with one blow, separating its head from its body. His technique was clean and neat, and the alien didn't make any sound.

After killing the alien, Apu continued to move forward. He soon encountered more aliens. He had just learned that these aliens had extremely sharp sense of smell. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Apu bypassed the aliens' activity area.

After entering a new area, Apu found that the originally dark environment became brighter. He looked around and found that this area was different from the previous areas. Its style was very similar to that of an Ark Eldar warship.

No, this is the interior of an Eldar warship.

Apu was observing the area and saw more Eldar corpses than those in the corridor. Through helmet detection, he found that these Eldar arrived much later than those in the corridor. The cause of death was unknown and there were no obvious wounds on their bodies. It was very likely that they were trapped to death here.

"This is……"

Apu also noticed that at some edge locations of the area, part of the Eldar warship had been integrated into the Blackstone Fortress. As time went on, this Eldar warship would be completely absorbed by the Blackstone Fortress.

"Gloria?" Apu looked to Gloria for an answer.

"You're right. This Black Stone Fortress will prey on ships that approach it, like a carnivorous plant."

Gloria gave an affirmative answer. This Black Stone Fortress is a "living thing" with its own thoughts and consciousness. From what she had seen along the way, it was clear that it was not friendly to those who invaded it.

"Just like you, Gloria?"

"I wouldn't be so barbaric. It's like swallowing it back and waiting for the digestive system to slowly digest it. It's not healthy at all."

After scanning, Gloria speculated that this Eldar warship had been preyed on for no more than a hundred years, and she didn't know whether these unfortunate bean sprouts were intentionally looking for this Black Stone Fortress.

As Apu moved forward, he encountered the aliens from before. This time they were on the only way to the energy center, so Apu had to kill them.

On the other side, the others had a much smoother journey than Apu. Although they also encountered aliens and drones, they also had ways to bypass them. While Apu was still clearing the aliens blocking the way, the other five people had already gathered in the area in front of the energy center.

"Hasn't Laopu arrived yet?" Ou Ge asked Gloria, wanting to know Apu's current location.

"Apu encountered some trouble on the road. You can go and shut down the energy system first." Gloria talked about Apu's current situation. In order not to be discovered by the intelligence of Blackstone Fortress, Apu would need some time to quietly clear out the aliens blocking the way.

"Okay, let's go shut down the energy system first."

Brother Ou asked everyone to gather and go to the energy center. At this time, Eryu seemed to have discovered something not far away.

"Come and take a look."

The group went to Eryu's location and saw the body of an Astarte.

"Do you think what he's wearing is similar to what Apu is wearing?"

This deceased Astartes was wearing a modified MK2 Expeditionary Power Armour. The black and red colour scheme and the winged sword emblem on the shoulder indicated that this was a Dark Angel from the Legion period.

"Isn't this a fallen angel?"

The crowd was unable to obtain much information from this dark angel, except that the time of death was not as long as that of other corpses encountered on the road.

"Don't worry about it. The most important thing is to help Gloria gain control of Blackstone Fortress."

Brother Ou asked everyone to ignore the corpses for now and wait until they captured Blackrock Fortress before slowly exploring the secrets of the fortress.

After entering the energy center, everyone found the access point of the Blackstone Fortress's energy system and installed the servo skull-shaped cracking device on it. Soon the energy center stopped working.

"That'll be fine?"

"You'll need to hold on for a while. It'll take some time to deal with this intelligence, but don't worry, I've already blocked most of its permissions. It can no longer make changes to the interior of Blackstone Fortress."

Gloria hunted down the original intelligence in the Blackstone Fortress's system. After the energy system was shut down, the intelligence in the Blackstone Fortress discovered that it had been invaded, but it was already too late. Having lost most of its authority, it could only order drones to attack everyone in the energy center.

Everyone fought against the drones that poured into the energy center, trying to prevent them from destroying the cracking device. After a while, everyone seemed to hear a scream similar to that of the blue cat in a certain animation suitable for all ages, and the drones that were besieging everyone stopped operating at the same time.

The energy center restarted, and Gloria sent good news:

"Done, this fortress is ours now."
