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

The best solution is to endure the excruciating pain and undergo the surgical removal.

Doing so would certainly result in a lot of bloodshed, but the wounds would heal and the empire would be reborn.

At this moment, Judge Garen, led by his guards, made his way through the bustling crowd and came before Qin Yun.

"Your Excellency, the investigation into the Fifth Fleet has made initial progress."

“We found several special intermediaries who attempted suicide but were stopped by us.”

"By reading the memories of those intermediaries, we obtained some very urgent intelligence."

"Terra is brewing a massive rebellion, possibly spearheaded by several current or former high lords, and more than 50 families may be involved."

"In addition, there is another very important matter, namely that the Minotaur Chapter has entered the solar system. They claim that they returned to Terra to replenish their ranks, but I suspect that they were instructed by some high lord with ill intentions."

"The enemy possesses immense power. If a conflict breaks out, the entire Terra will be thrown into chaos, and it may even affect the entire solar system."

P.S.: I was planning to give you a chapter back, but my laziness kicked in again, so I only have 3,000 words left.

Chapter 188 Riot

"According to the intelligence gathered, former Minister of the Interior Iltu Simotern and former Pope Bardo Slettra have been clearly involved and are the behind-the-scenes supporters of those rebels and cults."

Whether Yora Rama, the navigator representative who was dismissed by the regency, was involved is still under investigation.

Judge Garen reported all the information he had gathered to Qin Yun, and then asked a question.

Should we take action immediately?

Qin Yun hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

"The enemy hasn't all appeared yet, let's wait patiently a little longer."

Garen looked worried. "If this drags on, the consequences will be unimaginable once news of the food shortage spreads."

“Many people will join the ranks of traitors, and the scale of the rebellion will be enormous.”

"If we're afraid of sacrifice, then we can't solve the problem." Qin Yun's voice was tinged with coldness as he reached out and opened the projection interface.

It shows Terra's shipping routes and daily trade.

"For thousands of years, Terra has become increasingly dependent on supplies from the outside world. If the shipping routes are cut off, Terra will collapse."

"This situation is too dangerous and must be changed, and this incident may be the best opportunity."

"If we succeed, Terra will be reborn, the Empire will be reborn, and everything will shed its rotten appearance and come back to life."

“You have grand ambitions,” Garen said, “which makes me somewhat uneasy.”

"This is always how it is before a change happens." Qin Yun got up and walked to the window, looking out at the city buildings.

"After this transformation, Terra will be restored to its original state when life was first born. It will become a sacred place, no longer a bloated, nest-like hive world."

"Are you going to kill everyone on Terra?" Garen asked, his eyes wide with disbelief.

Qin Yun: "…………"

"Judge, I must remind you that your thinking is too insane."

"How could I possibly slaughter so many people?! I just want to move Terra's population away, leaving only the Royal Palace and Starbow."

"This turmoil is the perfect excuse. Once the rebellion is over, I will gradually relocate the population to space and build a space city."

"Let's expose all those monsters and demons this time and take them all out at once."

Garen watched the saint's retreating figure, then looked out the window as well.

It is conceivable that an unimaginable storm of carnage will sweep across Terra, and even the solar system.

…………

Mars is a planet within the human empire, second only to Terra in importance.

It is the territory, headquarters, and main casting world of the Mechanicus.

Mars is the Empire's largest repository of technological knowledge and home to its most powerful fleet—the Solar Fleet.

After receiving the task issued by the guide,

Veteran and Wu Mou then led the members of the Tokyo University Research Institute to Mars to search for the Akashic Reader.

Their spaceship traversed the vast void, heading towards the red planet.

Is this Mars?

A player approached the window and stared at Mars with a surprised expression.

Mars underwent Terranization, but the hard-won achievements were destroyed after the Horus Rebellion.

Since then, Mars has never restarted Terranization and has remained reddish ever since.

A giant ring called the Iron Ring encircles the Martian equator.

It consists of a giant space station, a void port, a large shipyard and other void buildings, making it a truly massive structure.

The planet's surface is covered in flames and metal, while its atmosphere is replaced by striped clouds of pollution.

The industrial zone covers the entire continent.

Countless towering blast furnaces were spewing out black smoke and red light.

The port tower connecting the steel ring is located in the heart of the industrial city and is busily transporting various goods.

"As expected of the territory of the Cult of Mechanics, every place you look is either an industrial city or an industrial city."

The Void Harbor is a bustling hub, where delegations from various forging worlds across the galaxy, as well as fleets transporting minerals, metals, food, and other supplies, are docked.

A large number of Christian guards dressed in red robes moved among the crowd, maintaining order.

The massive machine slave scanned the crowds along the way with its scarlet eyes, determining whether they posed a threat.

Just as the port's mechanical priest was checking the identification and biometric stamps of the old bird and his companions,

A massive creature, Kaul, equipped with numerous prosthetic limbs, appeared before the players.

Behind him stood a tall, original Forged warrior, and several mechanical guardians.

The priests and charioteers nearby bowed to him.

"I'll take care of them. You all go about your business."

Mars has a strict hierarchy, and as a great sage, Caul possesses power second only to the Forging General.

The consequences of disobeying him were beyond the capacity of these ordinary priests and servants to bear.

The priest in charge of the inspection bowed respectfully and then withdrew.

“Great Sage.” The old bird walked up to Kaul.

“Welcome to Mars, Chosen Ones,” Caul’s voice came through the machine. “Next, I will take you to the Lava City Ruins.”

The veteran looked at Kaul, who had appeared in front of him, with a look of surprise on his face.

"The mission didn't mention that we would receive your help, Great Sage."

“Because I wasn’t originally in the saint’s plan,” Caul said.

"I looked up some information about that so-called Akashic Reader and found it to be very helpful to me, so I came here."

"..."

During the exchange between the veteran and Kaul

Wu Mou turned his gaze to the original Forged warriors behind Kaul.

The opponent was an Astartes warrior.

He was strong and tall, with a face covered in scars.

It has a pair of jet-black eyes, with a sliver of white around the large pupils.

Wearing a suit of armor without any warband insignia,

Standing there, they exude a strong sense of oppression.

"Is this the leader of the original casting?" Wu Mou asked tentatively.

"Yes, I am Shouzuo." The tall soldier nodded.

The veteran glanced at the original leader, then turned his gaze to Caul.

"In principle..."

Before the veteran could finish speaking, Kaul interrupted.

"I'll give you another task. Haven't you always wanted micro-nuclear fusion technology?"

"How about we reward you with this? A complete set of micro-nuclear fusion technology. It's not cold fusion, but it can still be installed on small ships."

"In principle, there is no problem, Great Sage." The old bird's attitude changed, and his tone became obsequious.

He wanted to refuse.

After all, if they hadn't brought the other person along, they could have slowly explored the Lava City ruins and searched for technologies that could be applied in reality.

The problem is, Caul gave too much.

With the complete set of micro-nuclear fusion technology, let alone following the other party into the Lava City Ruins, even wearing a purple dress and dancing a tune for the Great Sage wouldn't be out of the question.

With this technology, Tokyo University can skip all the detours and head straight for the interstellar era.

As for why I wore purple for the dance, it's because purple has a lot of charm.

After reaching an agreement, the group boarded a transport boat and headed to their destination.

The ruins of Lava City are located on the edge of the Daedalus Plain, on the south side of the Arsia Mountains.

During the Horus Rebellion, the lava city, built on top of a giant volcano, was one of the largest foundries.

Its output efficiency ranks among the top of many foundries on Mars.

Collier Jersey, the administrator of Lava City, is a sage who does not believe in the Archon, but is loyal to the Emperor and has a fervent pursuit of knowledge.

She secretly carried out a clandestine plan: to use the Akashic Reader to access knowledge of the warp.

Unfortunately, this plan has consistently failed.

Until the appearance of a genius girl—Dalia Cecilia.

This gifted young woman possesses insights into mechanics and numbers that differ from those of the other priests, and she is not bound by the rigid thinking of the Mechanicus.

With the other party's assistance, Kolya Jersey successfully started the Akash Reader, but it was not stable enough.

At this time, Horus, bewitched by the four gods, sent an ambassador to Mars.

In exchange for relinquishing the restrictive terms of the Mars Agreement and opening the Moravic cellars, they gained the support of Calbo HAL, the forging general of Mars at the time.

A large number of Mechanicus members joined the rebellion and became the Dark Mechanicus.

Kalbo Hal opened the Moravik cellar and released the cursed creations within.

A virus containing subspace power infected the entire Martian network, causing countless deaths and shutting down numerous foundries.

Subsequently, Calbo launched a war in the name of forging generals, purging loyalists and thus igniting the Martian civil war.

Lava Worm City was also a key target for the rebels, and the Akashic Reader project failed due to the civil war.

When the city fell, Kolya Jersey chose to detonate the Lava City's reactor to prevent the enemy from gaining control of the city and the Akash Reader.

A terrifying explosion engulfed everything, turning Lava City into a radioactive wasteland.

Meanwhile, the genius girl Dalia Cecilia unexpectedly received the Emperor's blessing and entered the ancient ruins, becoming a jailer of the Star God Void Dragon.

The transport boat carrying the veterans slowly landed in a desolate, charred ruin.

After the Horus Rebellion ended, Lava City, which had become a Jedi, was not rebuilt and remained abandoned, forgotten by the world.

Stepping out of the cabin, the first thing that catches the eye is the dilapidated, rusty building.

"Is this the ruins of Lava City?"

Wu Mou looked surprised and surveyed his surroundings.

Even the experienced bird started scanning mode, wondering, "I wonder if there are any scary monsters inside?"

"Do I even need to ask this question? Every dungeon has a boss." Wu Mou rolled his eyes at the veteran.
