Stars for the good Warhammer.

Chapter 287 Overlord, the fleet returning from deep space (4K chapter)

The slender, ghost-like jet-black figure was staring at him in the reflection on the wall.

Otto raised his arm, and the black shadow also raised his arm. Under the gaze of Gray Wind and the giant on the brass throne, he put his right hand on his chest and lightly touched the magnificent wheel. miniature galaxy.

The singing in his ears still did not stop. When he lowered his head, Otto could clearly feel that those sounds seemed to be transmitted from the silver vortex, and what flowed in it came from billions of dollars in another universe. The power of the stars is the main source of all the power and authority he possesses.

Reality and illusion overlap each other. Although this sounds a bit incredible, the situation in front of me is as if I have straddled both ends at the same time, existing in the two worlds of reality and subspace at the same time. Otherwise, how can it be explained? What about this weird scene in front of you?

"Master? Are you okay?"

At this moment, Gray Wind's voice came to his ears again. At the same time, through the observation window of the Gray Goo mothership on the real side, the Planet Killer's doomsday main gun once again collided with the Gray Goo mothership's six-layer high-energy shield. The shields collided, and the red light representing destruction instantly lit up the entire hall again, showing the same color as the brass palace flowing with blood and lava.

The battle around the star is still continuing. Under Gray Wind's stewardship, the Alliance fleet has been further dismantled into countless smaller firepower formations, with an average of six destroyers equipped with twin main guns as a group. , six destroyers with a total of twelve artillery pieces can destroy a standard [Seeker] class solemn exterminator ship at the fastest speed.

At present, except for the mothership responsible for blocking the advance of the black fleet and a few accompanying fireships, dozens of similar six-ship formations are under the unified command of the Gray Gu network, accurately and quickly attacking the light ships surrounding the planet killer. The small units inevitably began to cause damage to the Chaos escort fleet.

It has to be said that this move is indeed very disgusting. With the more advanced radar and fire control system combined with the excellent computing power of the Gray Gu network, the alliance can be said to have maximized its advantage in range.

After realizing the Alliance's intentions, the anti-aircraft gun crews on the outer deck of the Planet Killer quickly weaved a huge firepower net around the battleship, surrounding the huge hull like a hedgehog. This made the first batch of arriving troops The carrier-based fleet almost paid the price of annihilation, as if it was thrown into a roaring crusher.

Although I don’t know what exactly was exchanged between the other party and the giant in the throne, but after another burst of angry roars, I saw that the other party raised the flaming brass giant sword in his hand without hesitation. , slashed towards the location of the fragment.

If it were placed on an ordinary driver, he would have been frightened by such a scene. However, the AI ​​obviously does not need to worry about this problem. Under the self-sacrifice of the first formation, the second and third formations that followed were It successfully entered the protective blind spot of the shield.

It seemed that it was beyond the other party's expectations. This sudden situation caused the giant in the throne to cast a slightly strange look in the direction of Otto.
Perhaps it was that force that shook the connection between reality and subspace. As the surrounding space became increasingly unstable, the mountains shook for a while. When Otto opened his eyes again, he realized that the scenery in front of him had changed again. Something has changed.

Accompanied by a crisp sound of impact, the giant was defenseless and seemed to have an invisible force hitting the blade of the giant brass sword, causing it to escape instantly from the Blood God's hand. The flying sword blade fell into the corner of the hall until it collapsed several brass pillars before finally stopping.

Just when the sword was about to fall, the originally peaceful brass hall suddenly began to tremble. The brass chains hanging on the walls shook uncontrollably, and the mountains of skulls in the hall also collapsed one after another.

While thinking, Otto's eyes couldn't help but wander in the command hall of the gray goo mothership. Not long after, there was a crisp sound of metal products falling to the ground, and a rune sword that fell on the ground suddenly caused a stir. his attention.

Although Gray Wind's extremely penetrating energy arc cannot cause fatal damage to the planet killer in a short period of time, as a Gray Gu mothership with ten hangars and internal carrier-based aircraft and ammunition factories, its The power of the hundreds of [Grey Gu carrier-based aircraft] equipped with anti-ship weapons in the cabin cannot be underestimated, and they can also cause fatal damage to warships.

That was the Chaos Demonic Sword that he used to harvest soul circuits before. However, the appearance of the long sword has changed slightly at this moment, like an unextinguished fire, in the gorgeous sword body that has been recast and wrapped in brass. The traces of flame flow can be clearly seen.

However, this kind of shield can only intercept high-speed targets such as artillery shells and lasers. It has no effect on slow-moving units such as fighter planes and landing pods. This is why many of the things that happen in Warhammer The main reason why famous battles often end in the most primitive gang-hopping battle.

Looking at the slightly curious look on the face of the girl beside him, Otto raised his hand and rubbed his temples. At this moment, a discomfort like motion sickness made him feel dizzy.

Oops
Gotta stop him
Seeing this scene, Otto couldn't help but have such an idea in his mind. However, at the moment when this idea just emerged, he could clearly feel a voice that existed in his body made a response to this. respond.

Little E? Why is that guy here?
[Little E], that was the name Otto gave to the kid who appeared in the mothership and was suspected of being a fragment of the Emperor's personality. While his attention was attracted by the battle that took place in reality, this time At this moment, the strange little thing had arrived in front of the brass throne, silently looking at each other with the giant in the throne, as if they were having some kind of negotiation.

Although as a black technology in the Warhammer universe, void shields are very powerful, especially the fortress-level void shields carried by such large battleships are almost impossible to be destroyed from the outside.

The brass palace flowing with lava was gone. When Otto realized this, he was already on the bridge of the gray goo mothership.

At this moment, a familiar roar echoed from Otto's ears again. When Otto looked towards the side of the Brass Palace again, a scene that surprised him appeared.

It was different from how it usually looked. At this moment, the fragment was surrounded by a dazzling golden light, and Otto inexplicably felt a familiar power from the other party.

correct
How's that guy doing?

I always feel like I just saw a famous kobold holding a dark sword and trying to kill people.
Recalling the scenes that had just happened, he was not sure whether what had just happened was a strange hallucination because it was too weird.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, several subsequent carrier-based aircraft groups that had been assembled quickly approached the airspace where the planet killer was located, like a mighty silver torrent along the gap area of ​​​​the anti-aircraft firepower, before the escort fleet was replenished.

The Gray Gu aircraft flew past at a high speed close to the battleship's hull. With the continuous throwing of plasma torpedoes, the silver-white plasma light clusters that exploded one after another seemed to bloom like flowers on the planet killer's huge hull, and It caused damage to many turrets on it. There is no doubt that Gray Wind hoped to disarm the giant ship bit by bit through this method of deck washing.

[Received the blessing: Mark of Courage (red)]

[Blessing effect: All soldier units in the alliance have a chance to obtain the butcher attribute. Soldiers will be more likely to be improved on the battlefield, becoming more determined and fearless, and not knowing what fear is. 】

(Only effective for organisms) Tsk.
Looking at the words that gradually appeared on the console panel, Otto was now sure that what he had just seen was real, but he clearly remembered that he had not promised to the other party when he was in the illusion. Conditions, and even ruined the situation near the end. Although he was not sure whether he did it or not, in the end, the other party still shared part of his power with him.

Does that guy have any special hobbies?
After all,
Since the Blood God mentioned [Boundary Breaker] again, could he be referring to the dimensional demon among the stars?

If that were the case, it would be really interesting.
The terrifying Tyranid swarm, the ridiculously powerful Perfect Su Zheng, and the dimensional demons that can cause Khorne to worry. Three of the four major natural disasters have gathered in the small galaxy at the same time. God knows what will happen in the universe by then. What a vibrant scene.

While thinking, Otto came to the position where the magic sword fell. He leaned over and hesitated for a moment. He first tentatively touched the surface of the sword with his fingertips. Through the surface covered with flame slag, he could see All I felt was a biting chill.

To this day, he still doesn't quite understand the purpose of these existences in subspace. If he understands correctly, these things were mostly given by "gods" at the beginning, but now the Blood God has injected his own power into them. He got involved and took the initiative to send out an invitation. Could it be that he wanted to leave the others behind and go alone?
With an unintentional glance, he noticed that [Little E] not far away seemed to be attracted by something. He gradually approached the bow of the ship and stopped in front of the observation window composed of a holographic screen, looking at It tightly locked the location of the battlefield.

Not long after, Gray Wind's voice was heard coming from behind again.

"Master, Clara just sent news that the Void Claw is ready for launch."

After hearing this, Otto, who had re-wrapped the magic sword with a state religion parchment, stood up from the ground, although he didn't know if it was of any use.

"Then let's start, let's see if Clara's plan can succeed."

For a moment, under the command of Gray Wind, the alliance front that was originally blocking the Chaos fleet in orbit around the star suddenly gathered together and chose to voluntarily withdraw from the battlefield. This situation shocked the imperial forces present who chose to actively fight with the alliance. .

And when they sent a communication to the Gray Gu mothership and asked about the reason for the Alliance's evacuation, the answer they received was only two simple words.

【Run quickly】

Faced with the Alliance's active retreat, Abaddon was not surprised at all. In his opinion, this was the inevitable result.

"Send someone to recover the wreckage of the Alliance ship at the scene."

After receiving such an order, the captain of the Black Legion in front of the Warmaster was confused.

"But my lord, the battle is not over yet."

"Our victory is an inevitable result. Vashtor requires that the wreckage must be handed over to His hands as completely as possible. We need to recover the hull exposed to the vacuum as soon as possible."

"But my lord, I think we should be careful. We do not yet understand the power of the Alliance."

The captain obviously wanted to say something more, but didn't wait for him to finish.

"No one can be the opponent of this invincible fleet. Now no one can stop my revenge. We will destroy the Vigilance Star, and then Haven. Our fleet will completely destroy Terra. This is the inevitable result. ”

The Chaos Warmaster's tone was full of arrogance. In his opinion, this planet killer ship was produced by the Lord of the Forges, and as many as a thousand were produced from the planet that was teleported into the subspace by Vashtor. The advanced warships produced by ancient factories are the capital of revenge.

"Inform the fleet to move forward immediately!"

However, shortly after Abaddon finished speaking, something strange suddenly happened in the originally peaceful universe.

"what is that?"

Under the incredulous gazes of the Warmaster and the Chaos Captain, a pitch-black sphere resembling a black hole suddenly appeared in the deep space not far from the Chaos Fleet without any warning.

With the appearance of that thing, the spatial structure in the entire area began to distort involuntarily. As the energy gradually accumulated, the sphere continued to grow larger, and the spatial anomalies occurring around it were also changing. It becomes more and more obvious.

Until a certain moment, after absorbing enough energy from the surrounding space, the sphere suddenly exploded in the air. The power released instantly triggered an explosion at its location that was enough to destroy the stability of the space. .

Like a broken lens, a small enough space crack suddenly appeared in front of everyone, as if someone had used a knife to make a gap in the curtain.

At first, no one cared about this, but the next moment, the originally small crack suddenly expanded hundreds of thousands of times without warning, and its width even exceeded that of a star not far away.

Like an eye that is gradually opening, the crack that was originally only a gap is gradually getting bigger, as if something terrible wants to break through the other end of the curtain and descend into the real universe.

Under the horrified gaze of everyone, the first thing to emerge from the unknown, dark space like an abyss was a black city wall wide enough to cover the entire star. Even the black legions who were used to seeing the evil power of chaos The veteran couldn't help but be inspired by the fear deep in his heart in front of that giant thing.

As the "city wall" slowly moved, it wasn't until they saw the giant cannon the size of a satellite that people believed that this magnificent creation like a star was actually an artificial warship.
