A life of ups and downs, but in Warhammer 40K

"The Church of England prays day and night for that ancient sage, hoping that he can find his way back."

Looking at the crowd before him, the local pope of the star sector was the first to speak.

If prayer in a past life was a form of comfort or an escape from reality, then prayer in this damn Warhammer world can truly kill you.

Furthermore, this matter doesn't have much to do with their state religion, since they're not part of the combat order. They've also acquired a power sword that can serve as a sacred relic, so they see it as a win-win situation. And if enough people pray, it's actually possible to establish a connection between the warp and the real universe, allowing that ancient sage to find his way back in the warp.

“I have already arranged for navigators, star speakers, and some psionicists to conduct long-term observations above that warp rift.”

Upon hearing this, the sector governor remained expressionless, though his slightly twitching expression revealed the immense psychological pressure he was under.

Because he still couldn't understand why that person had infiltrated his family. His family might have some secrets, even some sordid ones, but no matter how sordid, they wouldn't be associated with heresy. It wasn't worth having an Astartes infiltrate them. Moreover, he had used that person so diligently for so long, and now that person had fallen into the Warp, he was also partly to blame.

"I've already reported this to the higher-ups in the star system, and I expect people from Astartes will be arriving soon. It's even possible that high-ranking figures from Holy Terra will come to confirm later. You can decide what to do."

At this moment, Judge Gels was also twitching; the planet and even the entire star sector had been protected.

However, the sacrifice of a long-time veteran could become a point of contention. He might even face scrutiny from within the court and from judges from other factions.

The only saving grace is that this person wasn't one of the nine founding loyalist groups. If he had been, things would have been quite interesting. Moreover, his record was truly impressive: a Khorne Archduke and a Demon Prince. These were beings capable of wiping out an entire warband. Therefore, he didn't die in an internal power struggle within the Empire, which is a silver lining amidst a sea of ​​bad news.

However, if a veteran of ten thousand years might die here, even the most honest and unassuming Imperial Fist might get angry.

Not to mention the Space Wolves, with whom they already had a poor relationship, and the massive number of Ultramarines.

"How is that living saint doing?"

Putting all that aside for now, he did have some good news.

That is, the living saint actually survived. You must know that, apart from Saint Celestine, all other living saints are disposable items, the vessels through which the emperor manifests his power.

They would usually be burned to ashes by the emperor's power, but this one survived unscathed.

This is great news for their sector, and the opponent's strength is truly formidable, even comparable to a Chapter Champion in Astartes.

"She is still resting; His Majesty's strength is not something easily withstood."

Upon hearing this, the High Priestess immediately replied, which was undoubtedly excellent news for their Sisters of the Battle.

"Um........"

"You old fool, elder!!!"

The three Astartes on the other side were not so calm; they were also weeping bitterly as they looked at the power sword in the church.

They were far too weak; while they hadn't hindered the Elders, they hadn't offered the slightest help either. Therefore, the three Astartes felt deeply guilty, and now, besides praying, they needed to return to the Deathwatch headquarters to face the accountability of the Deathwatch Chapter Master and the Dauntless Monks within.

..........

Meanwhile, in space.

hum! ! !

With a shudder, a Necromancer's Reaper battleship traveling at faster-than-light speed also came to a stop.

"vomit......."

At this moment, Su Can, who was in the main seat, also leaned against the wall and started retching. The space necromancer stuff was really not a place for humans to sit.

Just now, those damned things accelerated to dozens of times the speed of light in less than a day. Then they crashed into a black stone portal, and after coming out, it took them half a day to slow down back to their current normal speed.

Su Can felt that the intense, tingling sensation was so intense that if his stats hadn't been high enough, he would have been a meat patty on the wall. The pressure generated by this thing was probably something even the Astartes couldn't withstand. If you were to make this thing, you'd need the Imperial Guard or a Primarch.

But compared to this physical acceleration, Su Can now has an even bigger headache: this group of crazy undead.

"Oh, darling, your skin is so flawless, I want it too."

Looking at the Necromancer Technician beside him, Su Can felt his head buzzing. The enormous green skeletal frame was almost completely pressed against him, giving Su Can a creepy feeling.

Originally, they were a group of creatures infected by the Skinner virus, which then lay dormant for tens of millions of years in extremely poor conditions. Afterward, they were messily modified by the power of their mysterious destiny, and what ultimately appeared before them was this thing.

They could endure the war, but now that they have some free time, they've started to fall ill.

What made it even more unbearable for him was that a skeleton over two meters tall was trying to be cute in front of him, and the unpleasant feeling made Su Can feel a little numb.

He wasn't some tech geek, and he genuinely had no interest in space necromancers. So, rather than worrying about anything else, Su Can felt he needed to confront these crazy necromancers properly, lest he end up joining them in their madness.

Chapter 35 Unlocking the Path of Intellectual Destiny

So watching a skeleton act cute and charming towards him, Su Can only felt a headache coming on.

"I rewrote their settings and code regarding loyalty to me. It's fine for men, but for women..."

Thinking about this, Su Can felt a headache coming on, and then couldn't help but rub his forehead.

For women, absolute loyalty seems to be like this, especially in Warhammer. Looking at the frenzied state of those battle nuns, Su Can knew that some strange changes had probably occurred.

Then he looked at the other seeds of destiny in his hand. This time, it wasn't just destruction that was activated.

“Let me see, the hunting and the intelligence. The hunting is understandable, but the intelligence, is it because of these space undead?”

Speechless, Su Can stared at the 'tree' in his hand, completely baffled by its mechanics. But given the choice between two options, after much deliberation, he chose one:...

智识

At that very moment, a special kind of information began to flood into his mind, within the world of Collapsed Iron.

It's hard to say whether those geniuses embarked on the path of knowledge because they were intelligent enough, or whether the intellectual path itself enhanced them and made them such geniuses.

However, this is not a matter for Su Can now; his fate is not entirely the same as Beng Tie's.

The core characteristic of the Intellectual Path is computational power; the Elucidator was anchored to the future of the world the moment of his birth. In the Warhammer universe, so-called foresight is merely peeking into a corner of the future using the chaotic time of the warp.

But the Venerable Master was a complete beast; he calculated every possibility of the future and anchored it to a certain moment. His power was so great that nothing but pioneering could break through it.

As for your mention of pioneering, pioneering itself represents the exploration of the infinite unknown.

That's why they were able to directly turn Bo Shizun into a powerful figure, but at this point, Su Can also began to accept his fate.

He only felt waves of immense power rising up, like a hundred million nine thousand five hundred and eighty-five thousand.

Large amounts of information began to flood his mind, causing Su Can to clutch his head in slight pain.

"Wow... Good heavens, this seed isn't just a simple increase in computing power, it also contains a lot of technology from other fields. Hiss, hiss, this Destiny Seed should be the most powerful seed, bar none."

At that moment, Su Can couldn't help but cover his head, because countless contents in his mind were being transcribed. Of course, this wasn't something that happened overnight, but rather more like a tech tree in a game.

If you want to use it, you must break through each level one by one. Of course, this technology tree is a shared one. Every time a Destiny Walker activates or breaks through a certain node, he can directly integrate and learn it.

Of course, this is his privilege; for others, these technologies will provide them with certain hints and guidance, allowing them to make breakthroughs quickly.

"Phew, it's finally stopped."

After a period of mental convulsions, everything finally calmed down temporarily, and Su Can also gained a special bonus to his intellectual destiny. That was a bonus to core computing power, which greatly enhanced his computing ability.

Secondly, this is the starting point of the complete technology tree, but it's only the very beginning. Su Can's eyes went dark as he glanced at it, because he knew that if he had to unlock each technology one by one, who knew when he would be able to unlock them safely?

"No problem. I can coordinate with others to make technological breakthroughs. It shouldn't just be Star Iron; there will also be some local ones. And compared to those so-called complex tech trees, there's one that I need to prioritize."

At this point, Su Can skipped over the other random details and then locked onto a certain location.

Su Can is temporarily unable to unlock the expansion, and he doesn't know how to unlock it.

Therefore, they still need to rely on these space undead creatures, whose movement methods are quite different from those of the Eldar.

The entire galaxy is filled with countless black stone gates they have set up, through which they can jump to any corner of the galaxy.

So there's no need to go through warp space at all. However, the only drawback of these things is that flesh and blood can't use them, or if you do, you'll just turn into a pile of rotten flesh.

Anyway, given Su Can's physical strength, he was still capable of doing it; these space undead were very important to him.

"Then let me try the 'mechanical modification' option in this tech tree, at least to modify these space undead."

At this moment, Su Can also pondered for a moment. The Seed of Wisdom was like a Mysterious Seed. It directly granted him mysterious abilities, such as the initial ability to fabricate and distort cognition.

In addition to computing power, intelligence has also helped it unlock certain technological capabilities.

This allows them to start operating immediately, instead of taking it step by step.

so........

“Darling.......”

At this moment, Su Can looked expressionlessly at the Necromancer Technician beside him, wondering whether this person had been infected by the skinning virus or a curse.

Therefore, there is a morbid fascination with living beings or the feeling of being alive.

Of course, it wasn't just him; the other undead were too. However, while they saw themselves as rulers, this one saw things differently.

"Come with me, let me help you with some modifications."

After flipping through all the information in his mind, Su Can silently pulled out a wrench from under his throne.

"what......."

Looking at the wrench in Su Can's hand, the tomb technician of the space necromancer revealed a hint of intoxication on his face.

Of course, this was on the premise that she could actually do such a thing. As for Su Can, he walked expressionlessly toward the technical room next door.

"While the Path of Knowledge is primarily based on science, it can only be considered pseudoscience, because much of it is fundamentally unscientific. Take, for example, the Emperor's Scepter of the Supercomputer. Now let me see what I can modify into..."

The technology of the space necromancers is quite advanced, especially in terms of basic materials. For example, they possess nanotechnology and various smelting techniques.

The methods Su Can is using now are not simply technology, but also have a lot of destiny-related support.

These are things that the original space necromancer technology could not do, or rather, to imbue some inanimate objects with souls and consciousness.

finally........

After a series of inexplicable and chaotic actions by Su Can, a completely new body appeared before him.

"Um, is this... Ms. Pearl?"

When Su Can finally finished his product, his expression became extremely strange.

Chapter 36 The Frustrating Space Necromancers

"........."

Looking at what was in front of him, Su Can couldn't help but scratch his head.

That's fine too; he can't exactly come up with some kind of romantic comedy.

That thing was truly indescribable; Su Can certainly didn't want to see such a bizarre creature. And there was something even more important: now, after his modifications, even if the Silent King himself came, he absolutely wouldn't be able to discern the connection between the Pearl and their space undead.

So in terms of the outcome, isn't this pretty good?

"Then the next thing is the core. I'll also modify these undead under my command, otherwise it will cause some trouble."

After taking one last look at the necromancer core in his hand, Su Can directly inserted it into the body in front of him.

As for the imperial scepter...

Forget about it; these things occupy the pinnacle of intellect. If their numbers are large enough, they could even give rise to destructive star gods.

Rupert I and Rupert II both possessed the potential to ascend to the position of the God of Destruction, but they were outmaneuvered by the Venerable One.

I'm still far from where I started; I'm a long way from that point.

"A perfect body, such smooth, long hair. And... this feeling, taste, smell, everything is back."

At this moment, the tomb engineer was also feeling the changes in his own body; it was a feeling of life.

Keep in mind that in Honkai Impact 3rd, you can even date and marry omnics, so theoretically, omnics possess all the abilities that creatures there should have.

So in just a moment, the Necromancer, or Zhenzhu now, felt as if she were a living person.

More importantly, with Su Can's intervention, the distortion caused by the mystery shattered completely. But so what? The person before her was so great and radiant; she didn't care about any of that.

"I have opened the path of wisdom for you. From now on, make good use of your power. You are no longer a space necromancer, nor... well, a fear of death. From now on, I will call you Pearl."

Of course, Su Can was aware of this, but he didn't care much. After all, he was just mysterious, not someone whose memories couldn't be completely blocked or modified.

"He is my great master and creator, hehe..."

Hearing this, Su Can nodded in satisfaction. As for the person behind him who was staring at his back with a drooling expression, Su Can did not see it.

because........

"How magnificent is this?!"

At this moment, a large group of space undead who still retained full consciousness went completely berserk, though this one's behavior wasn't obvious. However, they would never mistake that aura representing life, so these overlords disregarded everything else, and one even shamelessly grabbed Su Can's leg.

Then he pointed to the pearl in the distance, with an expression that said, "I want one too."

"grass........"

Looking at the necromancer overlord clinging to his leg, practically begging for attention, Su Can felt a sudden urge to gouge his own eyes out.
