"Yeah, you scared yourself. It's okay. I was just hit by a car. It's not like I failed the joint entrance exam. It's okay, it's okay."

Chapter 96 Encounter and Harvest

"Ah, finally we can talk properly."

Everyone was really suffocated along the way. Do you know how uncomfortable it was not being able to speak? But compared to the gains, this little "hardship" was nothing to everyone, because this was Blackrock Fortress.

"Apu, we have taken control, you can kill as much as you want." Brother Ou said in the channel, but he did not hear Apu's voice for a long time.

"Apu? Apu!?"

After repeated calls went unanswered, everyone realized that something might have happened to Apu.

"Gloria?"

"Apu's vital signs are normal. I'm sending a drone over."

Gloria took over the Blackstone Fortress's system. She restarted the Blackstone Fortress's drone, a spindle bee, and rushed towards Apu's location.

Apu also wanted to reply to everyone, but the guy in front of him was definitely not an opponent he could be distracted by. From the moment they met, both of them were pointing their bolt pistols at each other.

He was wearing a white robe and black armor, with half of his face covered by a hood. He held a bomb in his left hand and a plasma in his right hand. He had a long sword on his back that was huge even for an Astartes. The winged sword symbol of the Dark Angel was also on the belly of his breastplate.

Carrying the Primarch's sword, he distinguishes loyalty from treachery with his twin spears. His white robe conceals his fame, his unspoken loyalty is undeniable! A Lord of Cypher.

Lord Cypher was once a title within the Order of Caliban. The holder's duty was to safeguard the traditions and customs of the order and ensure they were observed. Anyone who became a Lord Cypher renounced the previous name, and he or she would not exist in any records.

No one knows who Cypher is now. All they know is that he was once a Dark Angel, and is now a Fallen Angel hunted by the Dark Angels. He has done many things in the past ten thousand years, sometimes acting with the Chaos traitors, and sometimes fighting alongside the Imperial Guard. His actions are erratic, but no matter what he does, he is fulfilling his unknown plan.

In terms of strength, Lord Cypher is undoubtedly a tough guy. The dual guns in his hands can be said to hit the target every time, especially his escape skills are unmatched. He has escaped from the Dark Angels more than once, and he can even easily break out of the Terra Black Prison, as if there is nothing in the galaxy that can hold him.

But the question is, why is Lord Cypher in this Blackstone Fortress? There shouldn't be other ships in this space, or has Cypher arrived long ago and is simply trapped in this Blackstone Fortress?

Apu and Sefer stared at each other, neither of them dared to act rashly. Apu understood Lord Sefer's strength, and Lord Sefer could also feel Apu's extraordinary strength.

"Who are you? Cypher, Zahariel or someone else?" Apu asked Lord Cypher. He didn't ask for an answer, he just wanted to delay some time.

"Are you a Dark Angel?" Hearing Apu say the name Zahariel, Cypher could be sure that the person in front of him was a Dark Angel, and a Dark Angel from the Legion era.

If it was the Dark Angels of the 40k era, those who knew the names of Cypher and Zahariel must be the Inner Circle of the Inner Circle. But how could such an Inner Circle member appear here alone? The power armor on his body does not belong to the Dark Angels Chapter, and the Daughter Chapter rarely has access to such secrets, so the answer is obvious.

"You know so much, your identity must be extraordinary." Sefer also became interested in Apu.

"Answer me, traitor."

"Traitor? Aren't you also a traitor to the current Dark Angels?"

The two of them were confronting each other like this, and a large number of spindle bees approached them from all around. Seeing that the situation was not right, Seifer opened fire at Apu first, and took the opportunity when Apu dodged to throw several projectiles, blasting open a way for escape.

Apoo saw that Cypher had left his sight and was running to another area, so he quickly contacted Gloria:

"Gloria, quickly find a way to stop Sefer, don't let this guy get away!"

Meeting Cypher in Blackstone Fortress was a pure surprise. As long as he was caught, the century-old mystery of Warhammer 40k about Cypher's identity could be solved. Apoo might even be able to get in touch with the Dark Angels by capturing Cypher, although there is a high probability that he and Cypher will be interrogated at the same time.

Apu wants Gloria to change the structure inside the Blackstone Fortress so that Cypher has no way to escape.

"Um...it doesn't seem possible. I haven't figured out all the permissions of Blackstone Fortress yet." Gloria said embarrassedly. She had just disabled the intelligence of Blackstone Fortress and hadn't been able to figure out all its functions.

"Why are you letting me down again at this time?"

Appu chased after him. It can only be said that Cypher is worthy of being the number one runner in the galaxy. Even with the help of the spindle bees to intercept him, Appu still lost Cypher in the end.

"Gloria, can you locate Cipher?"

After so much time, Gloria should have gained the authority to control Blackstone Fortress.

"Don't worry, I'm watching. It's strange, that Cypher disappeared in the Blackstone Fortress?" Gloria scanned the interior of the Blackstone Fortress and found no trace of Cypher.

"What!?"

"I'll send you the last location he disappeared to."

Gloria sent Cypher's last location to Apu, who rushed over immediately. He saw a strange circular building in the area where Cypher disappeared.

"Gloria, look at what this thing is?" Apu roughly guessed what this building was, but he still asked Gloria to confirm it.

"Let me see, this looks like a...webway entrance?"

"really……"

The Webway is a passage created by the Ancients that allows safe passage through the Sea of Souls. It is a superluminal technology that is far safer than subspace routes. To put it in another way, ordinary subspace navigation is like sailing on the sea. No matter how good the technology is, there is always the risk of capsizing. There are also terrifying creatures in the sea that are always ready to eat people. The Webway is a safe underwater tunnel that is isolated from the sea water. Under normal circumstances, the terrifying creatures in the ocean can only stare at this tunnel.

The Emperor's ultimate goal is to use the Webway to free humanity from its dependence on the Warp's routes, and step by step to completely free humanity from the Warp. However, Old Man Huang's Webway-building skills are too poor (appointed by Uncle Black), and coupled with the amazing wisdom of a certain magical pony, a psychic phone call blew up the Webway, directly leading to the failure of Old Man Huang's Webway plan.

"How could there be a webway in the Blackstone Fortress? No, it seems there really is one." Apu suddenly remembered that there was a webway entrance in the Blackstone Fortress that Brother Dun gave to Huron. When Old Thirteen returned to Terra and was captured by the Red Pirates under Huron's magic, Cypher and the Eldar Harlequin rescued Old Thirteen through the webway inside the Blackstone Fortress and sent him directly to the moon.

Now it is clear that Cypher will appear in Blackrock Fortress. It is indeed possible to reach the interior of Blackrock Fortress quietly through the Webway, but it is not known when Cypher will arrive.

Gloria used her authority to block the entrance to the webway to prevent other invaders from invading Blackstone Fortress through the webway.

Apu met up with the others, told them about Cypher, and together they examined the body of the Dark Angel outside the energy center.

Luochen: "Byd, how come I can meet Sefer in this place?"

Apu: "Who knows what he's doing in Blackstone Fortress, but I have a feeling it's not good."

Ou Ge: "Since Cypher can use the Webway, does that mean he's already connected to Huadouya?"

Huadouya, also known as the Harlequins of the Eldar, are a branch of the Eldar who believe in and follow Gaoqi, a living god among the Eldar gods. They usually perform in various parts of the galaxy as a troupe, and in battle, the Harlequins can definitely be regarded as one of the most terrifying forces in the Eldar.

A Pu: "I don't know. Huadouya's actions are mysterious. Who can know what a group of 'clowns' are thinking?"

Xianyu: "Didn't Gloria shut down the webway? Anyway, Cypher can't come back, so let's not think about it."

While everyone was discussing, Awei also unlocked the power armor that locked the Dark Angel's body and read the data recorded in it.

Ah Wei: "You guessed right, this fallen angel did come with Cypher, and there is more than one of him."

Judging from the information recorded in the power armor, Cypher and the Fallen Angels accidentally came to the Blackstone Fortress from the Webway entrance on a planet after doing something on a planet. They wanted to explore the Blackstone Fortress, but were discovered by the Blackstone Fortress's intelligence. Because the internal structure of the Blackstone Fortress was constantly changing, they could not return to the entrance of the Webway. In the end, except for Cypher, everyone was killed by the intelligence in various places in the Blackstone Fortress. The fact that everyone seized the authority of the Blackstone Fortress was considered to have helped Cypher.

The time recorded in the power armor when Cypher and the Fallen Angel entered the Blackstone Fortress was several years ago, and the Fallen Angel survived in the Blackstone Fortress for more than a month and died only half a month ago. The time and reality are obviously inconsistent, but this is not surprising, because the time in the Webway is not necessarily stable.

After figuring out the matter of Cypher and the Fallen Angel, everyone felt more at ease and began to count the assets in the Blackstone Fortress with Gloria.

Because there was too much information in the database, it took Gloria a long time to sort it out. Just the technologies listed by Gloria that were marked as useless were enough to make a large number of oil men in the Forging World kneel down and call them daddy.

"Why does it feel like a bunch of bean sprouts' technology?"

Brother Ou flipped through it and found that a lot of the technology originated from the Eldar, which was different from the Undead technology he had imagined.

"Because Blackstone Fortress is originally related to the Eldar, it naturally stores Eldar technology." Gloria said.

Now everyone knows the origin of Blackrock Fortress.

"Planet Shaper."

Arpu noticed a technology that could be useful in the future.

During its heyday, the Eldar Empire possessed technology beyond human imagination. Their technology in many areas had reached the pinnacle, and creating worlds was a piece of cake for them. Eldar planet sculptors only needed a few people and a machine to create a planet and shape it according to their own ideas.

Creating planets is not useful to everyone because it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. What Apu is interested in is the ability of this technology to bring a barren planet back to life in a short period of time.

Half a millennium later, devourers called the Tyranids will arrive from outside the Milky Way. The planets they raid will become barren lands where not even air will remain. For a long time, the Human Empire was helpless against these planets. It was not until the Great Rift opened that Dora Kaur developed the technology to restore the ecology of these planets.

I don’t know how efficient Kaul’s technology is, but it is definitely not as good as the technology in everyone’s hands.

In terms of armament, the Blackstone Fortress's conventional armaments alone can destroy the surface of a planet. It also has the standard function of Blackstone creations to enhance or suppress the energy of the warp. Many weapons require multiple functions to be used together to exert their true power. However, after the fall of the Eldar Empire, few people know how to fully utilize the functions of the Blackstone Fortress.

According to Gloria's estimation, the Blackstone Fortress at full power does not need to coordinate with other Blackstone Fortresses to destroy a planet; only one Blackstone Fortress is enough.

Moreover, using Blackstone Fortress only as a weapon cannot reflect its true value. It is the technological crystallization of the former galactic overlord.

Just a joke, our great War Marshal Abaddon threw away this technological creation that integrates multiple functions and exceeds the imagination of most civilizations today as a brick.

It’s no wonder that a certain figure king would say that Brother Dun’s use of it is a pure waste.

"We made a fortune this time."

Relying on this Black Stone Fortress, as long as they don't provoke too many forces at once, they can walk all over the galaxy without any worries.

Now everyone has only seen the technology at the end of the database. There are still many creations inside the Blackrock Fortress waiting for everyone to open the blind boxes.

"It will take some time to fully absorb the Blackstone Fortress, but I need you to do something now," said Gloria.

"what's up?"

"Hurry up and clear out all the corpses and humanoid creatures in the fortress!"

Gloria marked out the locations of all the corpses and aliens in the fortress, and told everyone the information about the alien. The alien was called Urgulus and had some relationship with the Dark Eldar. Gloria didn't want to eat these things.

"Can't we just think of it as adding some meat to ourselves?" everyone said jokingly.

"no!"

Gloria cut off the connection between the five people and the Raven Guard robots, and asked them to bring the Terminator to conduct a comprehensive cleanup in Blackstone Fortress.

Apu went to clean up some aliens and corpses first, and soon he returned to the area where the Ark Eldar warship was located. The bridge area of this warship had not yet been integrated into the Blackrock Fortress. He wanted to try to get some navigation logs from it to see what this ship of bean sprouts was doing in the Blackrock Fortress.

After typing on the operating platform for a long time without any response, Apu felt that he had overestimated himself and directly chose to ask Gloria for help:

"Gloria, could you please pull up the logbook for this Bean Sprout?"

"immediately."

Chapter 97 Double Happiness

Bombs shattered the heads of one Urgulus after another. The Terminator team led by them cleared out these eyeless creatures in the Blackstone Fortress. Every time they cleared an area, the drones and legion servants following behind would move the various corpses in the area to a designated place, and Gloria would burn them all and then remove them from the Blackstone Fortress.

"These things look scary. I thought they were just like chicken thieves, but this is what they are."

At first, everyone thought that this alien was a high-attack, low-defense creature similar to the Genestealer. However, when they found that these aliens could not break the defense of the Indomitable Terminator, everyone became less cautious.

Everyone worked together to kill all the Urguls in the Blackstone Fortress and completely wiped out this creature from the fortress.

"The last one really exhausted us." Xianyu wiped the non-existent sweat from his head. Although he hadn't fired a gun during this period, he still worked hard.

"These creatures aren't that dangerous, and you haven't really moved much, have you?"

After Gloria gained control of the Blackstone Fortress, everyone no longer needed to rush inside the fortress. Gloria would move the area where the corpses were located next to everyone.

"Thank you for your hard work, I will be able to absorb this Black Stone Fortress in a while."

Gloria first took everyone back to the Blue Silver Sword and docked the boat above the Black Stone Fortress. Everyone looked down from the porthole and saw that part of the Black Stone Fortress began to decompose into particles and merged into the Blue Silver Sword bit by bit.

Ah Wei: "How long will it take at this speed?"

"About ten days or half a month." Gloria calculated the time. The quality of the Blackstone Fortress made it difficult for her to absorb it all in a short period of time.

Xianyu: "So long? Can you hurry up? Why does it take so long for college students to eat?"

"Even if you have a big appetite, you can't eat a whole cow in one go. If you get an upset stomach, will you be responsible?"

Eryu: "Then what should we do during this time? Just wait?"

"Don't worry, I'll find a place for you to play for a while, and let you see my new function."

Gloria expanded her radar scan range, trying to find out if there were any planets worth visiting in the galaxies surrounding Blackstone Fortress.

While waiting, Ou asked Apu if he had found anything in the Eldar warship:

"Apu, what did you find in the bean sprout boat?"

"Just some records."

Apu said that the navigation log showed that this ship of bean sprouts came from an Eldar Ark named Alea. Their prophet predicted that the 40k Milky Way was undergoing a major change that had not been seen in ten thousand years. After learning of this prophecy, this group of Ark Eldar believed that they could no longer continue to be in a bad state. In order to survive in this crisis-ridden galaxy, they needed to do something.

So the Eldar of the Ark of Alea sent out an exploration team to search for the former creations of the Eldar Empire in the Milky Way. Decades ago, an exploration team discovered the entrance to the webway in the Blackstone Fortress when they came here. In order to find out, they came to the area where the Blackstone Fortress was located. When they saw the "Val Amulet", Douya on the ship thought it was his own hallucination for a while, and some bold guys even dreamed of revival.

But these Eldar had no idea that the Blackstone Fortress was beyond their imagination. The intelligence of the Blackstone Fortress did not destroy the Eldar warships immediately when they saw them, but lured the Eldar to get closer. When the Eldar warships arrived above the Blackstone Fortress, the Blackstone Fortress magnified the gravity well, directly elbowed down the Eldar warships, and swallowed them into its body.

And then, nothing happened. Some Eldar who survived the spaceship crash tried to escape from the Blackstone Fortress, but in the end they were all trapped and died inside.

After reading these records, Apu collected the soul stones of these white bean sprouts. He felt that they might be useful one day in the future.
