Continue the fight, continue the carnage, for your deaths and souls will forge the fatal blow I will deliver to pierce this throne of the Corpse King.

He will extinguish the light of the Star Torch, he will pierce the scars hidden by the Golden Throne, he will make Terra the second Eye of Terror!

Now, it all depends on how well the other actor cooperates.

The roar of nuclear bombs cleansed several completely chaotic Terran hives... but things did not go as they had anticipated.

These deafening nuclear bombs wiped out 90% of the rebels, but what did that mean to the truly powerful madman?

Even if they weren't some extraordinary masters who could withstand 50,000 horsepower of force without being harmed at the center of a nuclear explosion... it wasn't impossible for them to survive the aftershocks of a fusion strike.

Even though these weapons wiped out 99% of the rebels and killed billions of people, those who survived were the most troublesome group.

You all deserve to die!

A charred corpse struggled amidst an angry and ferocious scream, yearning to live...

At the same time, the desire to kill everything drove the magnetic field in his heart to pulsate continuously.

So he broke free of the charcoal that had enveloped him, and cell regeneration began to occur naturally. At the same time, he also answered the call of a voice.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!!"

He roared and howled, and the countless heads that had just died at his hands became his sacrifices!

His skin turned blood red, wings grew from his back, and warp forces altered his body, transforming him into Khorne's demon!

But he is not a demon prince; he still uses his mortal body...

However, this body has already been transformed into a demonic form by the power of Khorne and the recombination of cells.

He gained the power of the demons and retained his own magnetic field rotation, but his soul, though present there, was lost to Khorne.

Demons walking among humans were born here. The violent and terrifying magnetic field demon flapped its wings and shot straight at the thunder eagle flying across the sky!

The crimson arrow pierced through the sky of the Thunderhawk in an instant. The Imperial Fist Space Marine inside didn't even have time to react before his head, along with his helmet and spine, was ripped off!

The Magnetic Demon flapped its wings, its claws gripping the heads of four Space Marines as it watched the falling Thunderhawk and the city reduced to ashes and flames.

His family, his friends, everything in his heart had vanished with the weapons of the High Lords.

The empire wouldn't let him live, wouldn't let his family live, wouldn't let his friends live.

He clearly did not participate in the rebellion; he was simply using his own strength to try to ensure that everyone around him could live a better life.

He simply killed the law enforcement officer who had oppressed him, and reclaimed the fruits of his labor.

Now, nothing is left.

All of them turned to ashes under the fingers of those high and mighty lords.

A tear rolled down the demon's eye, signifying the complete stripping away of his last vestige of humanity.

Faced with resistance, the empire chose the most brutal suppression—so be it, let's turn all the complicated things into the simplest things!

"Blood sacrifice to the Blood God, skull offering to the skull seat!!"

Stripped of its last vestiges of humanity, the soaring demon lunged without hesitation at the warship flying above its orbit.

Looking around, among those burning cities, there are many magnetic field powerhouses who chose to walk towards chaos amidst destruction.

Indulging in self-centeredness is the inevitable outcome for those with a strong magnetic field, and they tend towards chaos, becoming synonymous with chaos—rules filled with oppression and ugliness suppress them, so they rush towards disordered freedom without hesitation.

They transformed from magnetic field powerhouses into magnetic field demons without any psychological hindrance, possessing power comparable to the Primarch but lacking loyalty—that's the essence of it.

Or, if loyalty only brings them a miserable life, then why should they be loyal?

With my extraordinary power, why should I be ruled by those insects that can be crushed at will?

Go kill! Slaughter your way to victory! Destroy everything that stands in our way! If we must lose, then let's lose together!!

A series of booming sounds echoed along the orbit near the sky above Terra...

The anti-aircraft fortress behind the Void Shield suffered a terrifying attack from within Terra!

The High Lords' plans suffered their worst failure.

They eliminated the slaves and commoners who might breed traitors, but allowed the most tenacious among those traitors to live and gain even more unbridled power.

It's not that they don't understand the power of magnetic fields; even if they did, it would be useless—in the future, the strong will inevitably rise and the weak will have nothing. Relying on wisdom and power, bloodline and wealth to rule the world is a thing of the past.

What doesn't kill them only makes them stronger.

When things got out of control, the Grand Instructor of the Assassin's Court and the Marshal of the Royal Guard left the Highlords' Council immediately—they had something more important to protect than these guys and the nobles of Terra.

But at this very moment, the flickering starlight once again severed Terra's connection with the outside world... The psionicists of the Star Language Court could no longer see the place illuminated by the starlight.

They were unable to contact the admiral or establish any connection with Mars.

All they could see was darkness.

At that very moment, an unknown fleet descended upon the solar system, passing through the narrow network of channels.

134. Surreal Warship

The net-like paths shifted and moved around them, from mist-shrouded passages to tunnels echoing with darkness, from bright, multifaceted crystals to pulsating, bizarre, fleshy spirals.

Those who are unaware of its mysteries and travel alone within the network will be permanently lost within minutes, or attacked by terrifying entities that roam the labyrinthine dimensions.

However, with the pointer given by Evelynn as a guide and the protection of Leon's Primarchic essence, the Dark Angels were able to continue their advance without threat.

They have learned how to operate these twenty-two Eclipse-class Star Destroyers...

Undoubtedly, this top-tier spaceship from another world filled the Dark Angels' technical sergeants and the Mechanicus monks with ecstasy.

Of course, they were even more furious.

Because the main systems of these twenty-two Star Destroyers are all deeply controlled by AI... although they can easily expel the AI ​​and take over the warships at any time by simply unlocking the control permissions...

However, there is no doubt that this misuse of AI is a serious violation of the Crimson Protocol!

But there's no other way, because under normal circumstances, a super star destroyer requires hundreds of thousands of crew members to operate, and even in the most extreme cases, it still requires tens of thousands of crew members to maintain.

Even though it came from Quarter Dynamics, the shipyard in the Star Wars universe that possessed the most advanced shipbuilding and AI technology...

However, that universe also maintains a rather cautious attitude towards the development of artificial intelligence (AI).

Since it's a gift that's been given away, they can only control it with AI.

In reality, the Cyber ​​Demons in the Warhammer world aren't as fantastical as they're made out to be...

How many treacherous individuals were involved in the Iron Man Rebellion is entirely unknown.

Moreover, in reality, it takes a lot of chaotic and useless code to completely corrupt an AI in order to carry out blasphemous corruption.

Anyway, it doesn't matter to them whether these AIs go berserk or not; whether they live or die is Leon's problem.

But for members of the Cult of Mechanics, there's only one thing to say—

Quack, we really need to check this out!

Let me see this technology that has been polluted by the hateful intelligence!

The more they learned about it, the more amazed they became by the technology these Star Destroyers possessed, shouting "Long live Ohm Messiah!" while cursing the Abomination Intelligence and communicating with the ship's AI.

Putting aside the hyperspace engine that the Emperor coveted to the point of obsession...

The Star Destroyers in the Star Wars universe, compared to the warships of the Empire of Man, each have their own unique characteristics...

However, the Star Destroyer, enhanced by the technology of the Eternal Kingdom, possesses the advantages of various features.

The 360-degree, all-around super-gravity traction beam can prevent any small vessels attempting to board the torpedo compartment from getting close. They are instantly captured by gravity, either crushed or delivered directly to the front of the gun muzzle.

Equipped with numerous gravity well generators, the warship can perform ultra-fast drifting maneuvers in space at near-cheating speeds, while simultaneously suppressing the enemy and blocking space jumps...

Combined with a series of sub-light-speed engines, such as the gravity slingshot generator on board the ship, it can achieve naval combat speeds that surpass the average level of Imperial warships.

From the perspective of armor, aside from the void shield and magnetic field reaction shield that were obviously added by incorporating technology from this side, the materials of the Star Destroyer itself are insanely hard.

This isn't a "natural" material like adamantite. Aside from the super-titanium alloy used in the warship itself, the Star Destroyer was built with a neutron star coating—

This is what is known as neutron star degenerate matter, which is truly strongly interacting material.

To draw an analogy, the water droplet in The Three-Body Problem that everyone praises is also, strictly speaking, a strongly interacting material...

However, it actually only uses the principle of strong interaction, but it is not a secondary counterfeit of degenerate matter.

These Star Destroyers were truly capable of defending against attacks that had previously targeted them...

Even if they removed their shields and started firing their main guns at each other, it would probably take them a while to destroy the other.

As for why the Star Destroyers in the movies always appear with a thin skin and a large filling, like dumplings—

It can only be said that the visual effects created by a combination of coincidences and certain uncontrollable factors cannot replace the differences in the design.

It's not to say that Star Wars technology is absolutely superior to Warhammer, after all, the technology of this Eclipse-class Star Destroyer is obviously a culmination of many technologies from different universes.

As for the titanium fighters and other equipment equipped on them, there is no need to go into detail. The most important thing, and the reason why these ships are called Star Destroyers, is the single-axis superlaser they are equipped with.

The technical requirements for this thing are actually not high at all; in fact, they can be described as very simple.

Just as electromagnetic weapons are based on principles so simple that even an elementary school student could build them, the super laser cannon is simply a laser weapon.

It draws energy from the engine, then uses a Keber crystal as a repeater, and finally emits a laser.

The principle is actually not much different from the Star Guardians' flashlights.

However, this thing has an incredibly high output, so it can easily destroy any planet that is not protected by a planetary shield.

All of this was thanks to the Star Destroyer's own engines and power source... The Eclipse-class Star Destroyer's power source was the so-called supermatter annihilation reactor...

Without much explanation, you can basically understand that the engine of this thing is a black hole.

In an emergency, this thing can completely rely on gravity wells and supergravity traction beams to pulverize planets for mining, and then stuff it into a supermatter annihilation reactor to provide itself with power...

It's fair to say that having one Eclipse-class Star Destroyer is equivalent to having a walking world-crushing machine.

Compared to Abaddon's planet-killer, this thing doesn't have the support of those weird and wonderful warp technology.

It's a purely scientific creation, but if you insist on comparing who's better, then there's really no need for a comparison.

But in any case, any one of these Star Destroyers would be a treasure capable of changing the landscape of human empires.

And here, there are twenty-two ships.

Such a grand gift left Leon speechless after he learned the situation... but afterwards, he became even more wary of that eternal divine kingdom.

His innate paranoia even led him to consider abandoning these ships after the jump was complete, or sealing them away like the Tuchachu engines, but now he had no choice.

The twenty-two warships that had jumped through the network channel assembled using the hyperspace engine the instant they passed through, but they did not appear on Skyla immediately.

Leon was just piloting the Unyielding Truth towards Terra when, just as the warp shock subsided, a deafening barrage of artillery fire erupted!

The condensed light spear shot out like lightning focused on the sun, and what followed closely behind was...

"Upon being attacked, immediately raise the Void Shield!!"

"Identifying the attacker's target: the Imperial Icon?!"

The answer transmitted by the communicator silenced the entire Dark Angels. Why would this glorious behemoth, which once belonged to the Sun Lord Markarius... and is now the flagship of the Sun Navy, fire on them?

But this abrupt scene gave many of the angels of forgiveness and Leon (the former fallen angel) a strong sense of déjà vu.

"This! Is! Betrayal!"

"The traitors have captured Terra! We must retaliate immediately!!"

Leon heard a cacophony of voices—anger, astonishment, and murderous intent—all around him.

In an instant, Leon seemed to return to the past, to the day he led the Dark Angels back to Caliban.

It was exactly the same; he piloted the Unyielding Truth back to Caliban, and was suddenly surrounded and attacked by the Rock's countless firepower.

Last time he chose orbital bombardment without hesitation, but this time...

"Connect the communication! Find out what's going on first," Leon said calmly.

"No—Lord Leon, there's a problem with the Star Torch's light, and the noise in the warp communications is too loud! Ah!"

One Star Speaker had just connected to a subspace communication connection when he screamed and exploded into a human firework... As for other communications, they still could not be established.

A familiar, sinister laugh reached Leon's ears, and when he abruptly turned his head to look in the direction of that laugh—

“Magnus…”

Leon stared intently at the crimson glint hidden in the gap of the subspace, and spoke slowly and deliberately, his voice laced with suppressed killing intent…
