Warhammer 40 A New Hope

However, his behavior gave his current agent Locke a headache - he couldn't call the THAAD commander for this matter, as he would definitely be furious if he did.

On the other hand, the reason why the knocking beasts followed Zhang Yi to the [Star Knights] base was because although they were almost the top normal creatures on the entire planet, the harsh weather of the planet itself still meant that these beautiful and dangerous animals had to worry about food at times - so they planned to find a long-term meal ticket.

This group of percussion beasts are willing to be raised by humans in a semi-grazing manner. They will settle down in an area, accept feeding from humans, and let humans shave their hair, milk them, and pick up their horns - they are well aware that they are valuable in the eyes of humans.

Finally, Sophia, the knocking beast girl who led Zhang Yi, was a girl who was very suitable for Zhang Yi's XP, but... In other words, she was similar to Ceob, very strong but very naive.

Because of this, the entire group of knocking beasts took good care of her. Although her powerful psychic powers allowed her to effectively identify malicious intent in most situations, her personality made her fellow tribesmen very worried.

Because Zhang Yi picked fruits for her and he had no ill intentions, Sophia was willing to interact with him. Plus, as a knocking beast girl, she didn't care about human things, so from time to time you could see her entire furry huge body lying directly on Zhang Yi. As for the problem that Locke was worried about...

"Don't shiver." (Sophia)

"Then don't hold me and dance..." (Zhang Yi)

"I'm looking for fruit." (Sophia)

There is no need to worry for the time being. After all, Sophia is naive but not stupid, and Zhang Yi also has his own bottom line...

After being held by Sophia, fed and settled the herd of knocking beasts, Zhang Yi opened the portal to the XCOM world.

Shortly after he walked out of the portal, he received the message.

A small group of Grays launched a rebellion.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

"What exactly is going on?"

"This news was reported by the vassal army that was traveling with us and did not rebel, but the specific reason for the rebellion is unknown."

On the Unknown Hope, this special battlecruiser is performing a warp jump, heading towards the site of the rebellion.

This is a mixed alien force sent out for a pioneering mission. After the problems in the 40K universe came to a temporary end, the exploration and development of the XCOM world was once again put on the daily routine.

Construction has basically begun on several planets in the solar system that are easy to colonize, and the exploration and development of planets outside are also proceeding in full swing.

Shortly before the exploration was resumed, news of betrayal came from a pioneering force. They temporarily defeated the empire's accompanying troops and tried to establish their own regime on the planet where the environment was still acceptable.

The initial speculation is that it may be because they knew about the drastic changes within the empire, which made them think that they could take this opportunity to get rid of their status as imperial servants, but the specific situation is not known yet.

When Zhang Yi's warship left the curvature state, a somewhat desolate planet appeared in front of them, and a message was also received.

[This is the pioneering team, we have quelled the rebellion]

. . . . . .

A fresh gray man's head was placed in front of Zhang Yi and others, and a large group of gray men knelt in front of them.

Before the imperial troops arrived, the pioneering troops who were still loyal to the empire ended this sudden rebellion, presented the heads of the initiators of the rebellion to Zhang Yi and his men, and voluntarily laid down their weapons.

But even so, the accompanying judges did not have a good face towards these betrayers again - if Zhang Yi had not stopped them, they would all have been executed on the spot.

"Tell me what's going on."

Just as Zhang Yi and others guessed, due to the internal turmoil in the empire, these people began to have ulterior motives and eventually chose to rebel after arriving on this planet.

But another part of the Grays who had participated in the battle against the Human Empire refused to join the rebels. They were well aware of the Empire's strength and believed that the rebels had no chance of winning and would most likely bring disaster to the entire Gray race. After all, they themselves were sinners in the eyes of the Empire.

In order to extinguish the wrath of the Empire, the loyal Grays protected the lives of the accompanying humans to the greatest extent possible, and ended the rebellion of their own people as quickly as possible without regard to casualties, in order to beg for forgiveness from the Empire.

"This is another betrayal, sir." The accompanying inquisitor said. "I know your attitude and ideas towards alien races, but..."

"We've already given them a chance, but they still do the same thing!"

"I implore the extermination of this race. Such a race does not deserve sympathy!"

"..."

Zhang Yi remained silent about the words of the accompanying Inquisitor. The attitude of the human empire towards alien races has always been very bad. The fact that this Inquisitor did not kill these gray men directly but instead expressed his views to him already showed that his attitude towards alien races had been restrained and changed - at least he did not kill them all with one stick.

Moreover, as he said, the Empire had already given them one chance, and rebellion was unacceptable to the human empire, no matter how small, no matter what the consequences.

"...Do you have anything else to say?" Zhang Yi said to the gray man kneeling in front of him.

"...This rebellion was not only caused by my people." said the gray man who was kneeling on the ground and wearing a psychic suppressor.

"Quibbling! You..."

Zhang Yi waved his hand to stop the obviously angry Inquisitor, and signaled the gray man to continue speaking.

"After we broke through the enemy's direction and killed their leader, we seized some things..."

After inspection by the accompanying imperial guards, the seized items were presented to Zhang Yi and others.

"This is...!"

The drawing presented in front of Zhang Yi was actually a structural diagram of a portal, a portal that could open the subspace of this world!

"It's the demon we exiled..."

Seeing this, the Inquisitor immediately loaded his weapon and aimed it at the gray man closest to him.

Bang--!

when--!

The fired bomb was blocked by the [Magic Screen] constructed by Zhang Yi, and the explosion was very close.

"My Lord, they are most likely contaminated by demons! We can't..."

"You should know that the subspace of this universe is far less dangerous than yours, and the demons are much weaker." Zhang Yi said. "Also, we need more information..."

Afterwards, the Gray Sword Leader told Zhang Yi and the others all the relevant information he knew. Although they didn't have much information, it was confirmed that the people who triggered the rebellion this time were most likely connected to the demons.

Then the question comes back to what to do with these Grays.

"I say, why not just let them go on a 'redeem expedition'?" Zhang Yi said. "But the goal of their expedition is..."

"The subspace of this world..."

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Type-Moon World

The arrival of Horus and others was undoubtedly like a dimensionality reduction attack to the magicians who thought they were superior to others, and it also severely pulled those geniuses down from the altar one by one.

Although the Empire has no intention of taking over the world (at least to give the two little ones some face), there is no room for negotiation in the purge of the inhumane [Magic Association].

The original monarchs were evaluated one by one and then cleared or stripped of their [magic circuits]. The magicians of Weber's department were elected as the new managers of the [Magic Association], and together with the Empire, they carried out reforms and transformation of the [Magic Association]. Calm cooperation and sharing are also underway.

Weber, who had once written a paper to his teacher Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald to prove that bloodline was not certain, now realized his original idea in another way - those magicians who relied on bloodline to act recklessly and without regard for human nature, had almost no survivors in the hands of Horus.

But, Weber is not happy, because... Overtime... Endless overtime. You know, Horus basically tore down the entire [Magic Association], so the workload required to respond is not small. (Weber: Thank you!)

Almost all the magus families, after experiencing this, basically accepted this outcome - what else could they do if they didn't accept it? Go and get bombed in the face? There was no need to risk their lives, right?

But... not all...

"Damn it! Damn heroic spirit!"

"How dare you, a mere familiar! How dare you!"

"hateful!"

"Rejoice now, wretched Fallen! Warmaster Horus!"

"I have found a way to fight you! You have no right to dictate to us noble magicians!"

In a secret magic position, a magician holding a pile of papers with words on them said.

"I will replace that rubbish monarch and bring the Magic Association back on the right track!"

"Since we are no match for you, let us use the enemies of your world to fight you!"

"That's all I need!"

The magician held up the information in his hand and said something crazy.

On the cover of the pile of information, there were a few large black words written.

Warhammer 40K: The Warp and the Gods

319. God Hunter Plan

The subspace of the XCOM world is quite peaceful and safe because it has not experienced the War in Heaven that occurred in the 40K universe.

Although there are demons, their numbers are small and they are very weak. At this stage, no god-level beings that are malicious towards living things have been found in the subspace.

The empire cannot tolerate betrayal, but the drastic changes in the empire now mean that Zhang Yi and his men are in great need of manpower, so it is not a good idea to exterminate an entire race.

It is for this reason that Zhang Yi proposed that the Grays go to the subspace of the XCOM world to carry out an expedition of atonement. They need to kill at least three demons, including Philadelph, to complete their atonement.

Of course, those Greys who go on a Penitent Crusade will receive basic training and knowledge of demons, and the Grey Knights will teach them if necessary.

But even so, the warp is still dangerous for real creatures. It is foreseeable that the Greys' atonement expedition will sacrifice many people, but if not, the Inquisitors will not let them off easily - they have done things like genocide before.

The betrayal of the Grays has put them in another layer of shackles, and their example will also spread to other alien races, making them behave themselves.

After dealing with this matter, taking a brief look at the development of the XCOM world, and discussing future plans, Zhang Yi left this world and went to the world of [Dark Dungeon].

In that world, a long-proposed plan is being tried out.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Darkest Dungeon World

Areas of influence of the Cult of Plenty

Countless things like ham or other meats grew out from the ground like plants. All the fields were full of these things, and they emitted a strange smell all around.

An off-road vehicle was moving along the road, with several deformed heads hanging on the vehicle, and some places had some dried blood.

Bang--!

The debris blocking the road was directly knocked away by this powerful vehicle, leaving the robbers who originally planned to rob people on the road staring in dismay - the creations of the Mechanicus have always been outrageous.

The off-road vehicle finally stopped near a huge farm, and a fanatic with various prayers hanging on his body and holding a promethium flamethrower came down first.

"Are we really going to carry out a mission with this lunatic?" Audrey, the tomb robber, said as she got off the SUV. "Not long ago, we were on his list of people to be burned at the stake~"

"But it is undeniable that he is indeed an extraordinary fighter." Crusader Reynard responded. "As long as nothing unexpected happens."

"I don't think so..." [Plague Doctor] Paracelsus shook his head and said.

"What are you waiting for?! I have already found out about the cultists and heretics! They all need to be purified!" said the fanatic. "This filthy land also needs to be purified by fire!"

"I am the commander-in-chief of this mission, you know that, right?" Reynard said to the impatient fanatic. "You'd better obey my command."

Hearing this, the fanatic walked directly in front of Leonard and looked down at the so-called "commander-in-chief" in front of him.

"I don't know why you were appointed as the commander-in-chief, but you better deserve this title!" said the fanatic. "Only the most loyal and powerful warriors are qualified to work under the God of Mankind!"

After saying this, the fanatic turned around and walked towards the farm. At this moment, Reynard turned his head slightly and whispered to the others, "Doesn't he know that the Emperor hates fanatics like him who worship him as a god the most?"

The others shrugged helplessly.

. . . . . .

"Ha ha ha ha--!"

In the scorching flames of the promethium flamethrower and the laughter of the fanatics, those monsters with long mouths or those that looked like dishes were reduced to ashes, and the smell of burnt protein filled the air.

Under the dimensionality reduction attack of high-tech weapons, these twisted and mutated enemies were no match for Leonard and his men, and fell one after another.

Soon, they found their target - the "Harvest Evil Boy" who looked like a turkey dinner.

"Wow~"

"Turn to ashes, you abominable monster!"

The fanatic pulled the trigger of the flamethrower without hesitation at the twisted creature in front of him, and the scorching flames rushed towards the enemy.

"Ugh!!!"

A baby-like cry sounded, and the flames instantly engulfed him, but then a strange fragrance wafted out from his body.

Realizing that something was wrong, Leonard and the others retreated immediately and put on gas masks, but the crazy fanatic did not have time to retreat. He was bewitched by the strange fragrance and walked towards [Harvest Evil Boy] involuntarily.

"It seems that even crazy faith can't stop primitive appetite!" Audrey said. "Parachelsus, where is your stinking potion?"

"Throw it out now, be careful not to spit it out."

A round glass bottle filled with a sticky dark green potion was thrown in the direction of [Harvest Evil Boy]. The fragile glass container shattered, and a foul smell emanated.

The sudden stench woke the fanatic up, and Leonard, wearing a gas mask, ran past him, and cut off the head of [Harvest Evil Boy] with the power sword in his hand, or rather, the head-like organ.
