Warhammer: I don’t want to become an evil god!!

Then, the blood was completely absorbed, and the blood-soaked sky made the king shine, transforming him into a radiant, holy angel with pure white wings.

The pattern seemed to come alive, with the golden angel and the black angel kneeling before the King of Angels, offering their eternal loyalty.

Then the heavy doors slowly opened, revealing a dark, abyss-like hall.

Many players stared wide-eyed at Zhuge Liang, giving him a thumbs-up and expressing their amazement.

"How did you come up with this?" Jujiro asked.

Zhuge organized his thoughts before explaining in detail to Jujiro and the others.

"In our view, the King of Angels in this picture corresponds to Saint Gilles, the Golden Angel corresponds to Saint Gilles, and the Black Angel corresponds to Bloodthirst and Black Wrath. All three of these are related to the Holy Blood Angel."

"But when this door was created, the Blood Angels had not yet appeared in Baal, which means that the creator's original intention was not to refer to the Blood Angels."

"Moreover, the person who created this door was certain that as long as people lived in Baal, they would know what this pattern represented."

"Because the purpose of creating a door is to allow people to open it. If the other party doesn't want later visitors to get what's inside, they can simply destroy what's inside or completely block the way."

"Putting a door here means that the other party wants the later person to open the door and take what's inside."

"If those who come after cannot guess the answer to the riddle, then the riddle is meaningless."

"This pattern is related to the Blood Angel, but it was created before the Blood Angel was even born." "That means it points to a certain quality of the Blood Angel, something that will inevitably appear as long as someone lives here."

"There isn't even a hole here, so fangs definitely can't be used as keys to open the door."

"When all the impossible is ruled out, what remains, however unbelievable, is the truth."

"Therefore, the key to opening this door must be blood."

Zhan Shuai clapped his hands and said, "Awesome! Although I didn't understand a word, I still think it's awesome."

Players such as Jujiro, Twisted Man, and King of Mount & Blade also applauded.

"That's right, being awesome is all that matters."

“I don’t understand anything, but just follow along and shout.”

"Zhuge 666".

"From now on, the puzzle-solving tasks for exploring these dungeons will be yours."

"........."

After praising Zhuge Liang, the players stepped into the hall.

It was pitch black inside, with no light source whatsoever. Without the armor's lighting system, they couldn't see anything.

Are these incubation chambers?

With the help of the power armor's visual enhancement device, Zhan Shuai saw the densely packed rows of gene bays displayed in the hall.

They all look the same: cylindrical with silent, unlit mechanical devices on top.

"Judging from this, this must be the genetic laboratory of the Golden Age." The twisted man looked around.

“I sensed the power of psychic energy.” Jujiro looked uneasy. “It seems like some kind of blasphemous experiment is being conducted here.”

Zhan Shuai walked up to a gene chamber and, through reinforced glass, saw the experimental subjects immersed inside.

The experimental subject could be vaguely discerned to be humanoid, but its appearance was extremely repulsive.

The entire skull was covered by swollen bones, with white bony horns growing from the back of the head.

His eyes were empty, with no pupils visible, and his mouth revealed sharp teeth.

Rows of ribs were exposed on the chest, making it look ferocious and terrifying.

His limbs have well-defined lines, taut, strong, and thick muscles, giving him a powerful appearance.

Amazing bone spurs grew from his back, as if they were forming a pair of pure white bone wings.

This is a freak, a nightmarish creation.

"Brothers, here are the experimental documents."

His words immediately attracted the attention of the other players, who all walked over.

By comparing and scanning language databases, they successfully translated a portion of the document.

The Gene Ascension Project

The translated document title left the group looking at each other in bewilderment.

Good guy! !

They seemed to have figured out why Baal's mutant calamity was more severe than on other planets.

"Using technological means to project the power of mythology into reality, even a mere wisp of the power of the Black Angel can enable humanity to evolve and possess unimaginable power..."

Players like Zhan Shuai continued scrolling down.

The experimental documentation details how humanity in the Golden Age stole the power of the Black Angel and injected it into experimental subjects.

This experiment was conducted in multiple locations, and ultimately resulted in the desired outcome of obtaining the hammer.

With the advent of the Age of Strife, the warp has become unusually active, coupled with the AI ​​ban.

This caused the laboratory's containment devices to malfunction.

Large numbers of mutants broke free from their restraints, rushed out of the laboratory, and wreaked havoc in human cities.

These mutants possess incredible combat and regenerative abilities.

It can easily leap seven or eight meters, destroy human vehicles, and possesses a learning ability that is difficult for ordinary people to match.

“We are gods, the next stage of human evolution. Baal should be ruled by us, not by you damned ants.”

A powerful mutant once made such a statement to humanity in a high-profile manner.

Ultimately, humanity unleashed the forbidden high-powered weapons, reducing the entire city of Baal to ruins.

This is also why the radiation levels in Barr are so high.

In order to win the war, humanity had to resort to land clearing tactics.

They relentlessly attacked Baal and the two satellites until they turned paradise into a burning hell, only then did they stop.

"Goodness, are all these stories this happy to end like this?" Zhan Shuai complained.

"Haha, when an ambitious man's lab goes wrong, the whole world suffers. Hahaha, even Warhammer 40K can't escape this kind of plot," Jujiro joked.

"No wonder the Emperor is so wary of those oil enthusiasts. These guys are really good at courting death when it comes to research." The twisted man suddenly understood the Emperor's reluctance to innovate.

Anyone who experiences events like Baal's a few more times will end up like the Emperor.

Just as players were lamenting the mess Baal had made in the past,

A loud bang was heard.

The players were startled and quickly grabbed their grenades, rushing towards the source of the sound.

"The gene module is damaged."

When Jujiro saw the nutrient solution flowing out of the ruptured gene chamber, he immediately sensed something was wrong.

"These things are still alive!!"

Roar!

A roar was heard.

A pair of scarlet eyes appeared in the darkness, filled with extreme malice.

Just as the players were about to kill their opponent, more loud noises rang out.

boom! boom! boom!

The slumbering monsters awoke, broke out of the gene chambers, and surrounded the players.

Each one was wet and gave off a strange smell.

The flesh and blood appeared swollen and ghostly white due to prolonged soaking.

"I feel like we're being targeted by the game designers."

Zhan Shuai activated his chainsaw sword, looked at the monsters surrounding him, and started to complain.

Then, the explosions roared and the chainsaws howled.

A brutal and bloody battle erupted in the dimly lit hall.

…………

Achoo!!

Qin Yun, who was on board the Imperial Glory, sneezed.

He subconsciously rubbed his itchy nose.

"I'm already on par with the Primal, how can I still catch a cold??"

"Master is perfectly healthy; it's probably just a normal sneeze," Xiling said from the side. "Is there anything else that needs to be revised in the eleventh batch of player rosters, Master?"

"That's all." Qin Yun waved his hand. "Just recruit people according to this list."

"Okay, master."

Xiling's projection disappeared.

Achoo!!

Qin Yun sneezed again.

"Could it be that someone is talking badly about me?"

"Never mind, let's go get the rewards first. I haven't gotten the equipment for saving Baal yet!!"

Qin Yun strode towards the prayer sanctuary, ready to receive the reward for completing the "Saving Baal" quest.

PS: There will be another update tonight, I'll try to write 6,000 words and explain some things about Baal.

Some parts are fan-made and not intended to be exactly the same as the official ones.

I'm sorry, I can only manage 10,000 words a day now, but I'll make up for the missed chapters. I'll update more frequently when I'm feeling better.

Chapter 177 We Discovered a Toaster

Qin Yun performed the Eagle Salute to the Emperor's statue inside the prayer sanctuary, offering his prayer.

As the voices praised the Emperor, a portal of light appeared beneath the dome of the sanctuary.

Two cherubim, flapping their wings, flew out.

They were carrying a metal box, with an anti-gravity turbine embedded inside humming.

The box is decorated with a double-headed eagle emblem and intricate flame patterns.

The cherubim placed the box in front of Qin Yun.

“You have completed your task exceptionally well, Chosen One,” one of the Zhitians said in a hoarse voice. “He is very satisfied. Please continue with the assigned tasks.”

"I will do my best," Qin Yun nodded.

Having received a reply, the cherubim did not linger, but flapped their wings and flew into the still-open cave of light.

Qin Yun placed his hand on the box, just as before.

The light emanated from the hand, spreading along the patterns on the box's surface, eventually illuminating the entire double-headed eagle and numerous flame emblems.

The sounds of gears turning, mechanical pistons reciprocating, and the hissing of the killing field being unlocked all rang out together.

The box slowly opened, revealing its contents.

A golden iron halo lay quietly inside the box.

A golden light screen automatically appeared, displaying information about the halo.

【Name: Angelic Iron Halo (Epic)】

The Iron Halo is part of the Space Marine Armory, an ancient relic, a special medal of honor that can only be worn by Space Marines who have demonstrated exceptional initiative or courage on the battlefield.

It contains a powerful deflection field that can deflect high-speed bullets and beams, allowing users to survive intense gunfire.

"If you want to be on the battlefield without a helmet and constantly watched by the Emperor's gaze, this thing is standard equipment."
