Warhammer 40 A New Hope

"I actually know..." (Fanatical believer)

"I won't write this in the report." Reynard picked up the head of [Harvest Evil Child] and said, "After we find useful information, burn everything here."

"You... I understand..."

. . . . . .

Research on the planet where most ordinary people live in the world of Darkest Dungeon is still ongoing.

The Mechanicus priests, led by Zero, who are good at biological research, have confirmed the various unusual features of this huge creature under their feet, and are conducting further research.

[Hamlet] The construction and expansion of the town is also underway, although the construction speed is not fast due to manpower issues.

The cleanup of several cults in the surrounding area is also proceeding in an orderly manner, but as mentioned above, there are not enough people, so we can only proceed slowly.

For Leonard and others, their mission is not only to deal with the cultists or monsters around the town, they also have another mission - to capture or hunt all malicious divine creatures.

This was a plan that Zhang Yi had proposed a long time ago, but because of the 40K issue, it had only been implemented now.

To put it simply, the plan is to go to different worlds to capture or hunt those malicious divine creatures for research, and use them as a reference for dealing with the four vendors.

Although some powerful gods may not be easily dealt with by the current empire, some weak gods may not be. Moreover, even if these gods cannot provide useful information to deal with the four vendors for various reasons, they can still get a lot of things by dividing them, right?

In the world of Dark Dungeon, the capture and hunting of various divine creatures is underway. After learning about the progress of some tasks, Zhang Yi took his offspring to another world and began his plan to capture gods.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

According to legend, there was an evil god in ancient times named Heluo Shen. The Snake family relied on the power of this evil god to unify the world, and as a price, they needed to offer some people as sacrifices to this greedy god every once in a while, and the people were therefore living in misery.

Finally, five hundred years ago, five major families joined forces to defeat the Snake Family that ruled the world, and used a special method to seal the Heluo God and established a new regime. From then on, mankind completed the transformation from god to man.

But the good times did not last long. Five hundred years was enough to erase many things, including the friendship between former comrades and the oaths they had made.

Among the five major families, the Long family sat on the throne and is still doing its best to govern the country and strengthen the seal on the Heluo God, but the other four major families have different ideas.

And because of this, the reinforcement of the seal of Heluoshen failed. Countless roots and vines penetrated deep into the underground of the hall, and at the same time a huge white lotus grew on the roof of the hall.

This huge flower cannot be damaged by swords or burned by fire. It periodically sprays warm snow into the sky, which is later called "warm snow".

After further comparative investigation, these forms of snow...

"Stop, stop, stop. I know you're staying up late playing games. Stop talking." Zhang Yi stopped the Pathfinder Space Marine's worldview explanation. "How is the air filtration device running?"

"Normal operation. These living pollens with a little spiritual energy or magic power quickly lost their activity after losing the blessing of this power..."

"And all of us, including you, the boss, according to what you said, have high magic resistance..."

"Father Kadoc who came with us was even more skinny... I can already imagine the expression of He Luoshen cursing..."

"What about the protagonist of this world? What's his name...Bi'an?"

"According to the results of the drone reconnaissance, the four major families are still there, so he should not have arrived yet... Is he still on his way on horseback?"

"Are there still horses to ride in this world..." Zhang Yi said.

"Boss, should we follow the plot now or... just release He Luoshen and beat him up?"

"Do we have to follow the plot?" Zhang Yi said. "Although theoretically, the regional god Heluo Shen is unlikely to be our opponent, but... well..."

"Let's go and dismantle the lotus first, and take a look at the composition of this god."

320. Bi’an: Where are the flowers? Where are those big flowers? Where are they going?

Zhang Yi and others, wearing power armor, moved towards the extremely conspicuous huge flower in the city and encountered a large number of mutated creatures along the way.

As mentioned before, those pollen-like entities in the form of white snow are living creatures with special powers. Creatures that inhale or come into contact with these things will either die or be parasitized and turned into twisted monsters.

In this era, the powerful and wealthy naturally have the ability to avoid being parasitized, but ordinary people do not have that ability.

The plasma sphere flew towards those people or animals that had lost their minds and mutated, completely turning them into corpses on the ground.

Father Cadoch and others who were accompanying them conducted on-site autopsies on some relatively intact bodies and obtained preliminary results.

"The biological mutation is still within the explainable range, and the influence of psychic energy is not high." Father Kadoc said. "In short, it is very weak."

"You can't compete with Nurgle, and if he wasn't weaker, I wouldn't come here." Zhang Yi said. "It's really hard to mess with a powerful divine being..."

Now, the huge white lotus is not far away, and the "warm snow" falling from the sky is becoming more and more dense.

"Shall we go through the main gate?" said a Pathfinder Space Marine holding a giant energy sword eagerly.

"If you want to fight, just say so." Zhang Yi said. "Let's go in another direction. There's no need to fight the BOSS."

"Oh (visible loss)."

"...If you want to fight so badly, you'll be the first to fight when He Luoshen comes out!"

"?!"

Zhang Yi led the team around Qin Wu, the head of the Hu family, who was guarding in front of the main hall and only had instinct left. Without disturbing Emperor Longwu who was guarding the seal with his life, they came to the huge strange lotus - it was full of eyeballs.

brush--!

A small section of the branch was cut off by the power sword and then turned into ashes in the flames of promethium.

"Isn't it said that swords can't hurt and fire can't burn?"

"I guess the resistance is not enough, just like being immune to 'magic below level 5' but not able to withstand 'magic below level 8'."

"You two stayed up late watching anime again, didn't you?"

"!"

The source of disaster that has left everyone helpless in this world is no different from an ordinary plant in front of a weapon that is at least ten thousand years ahead of this world.

It can't be said that there is no resistance at all, but it can be chopped down with a little force.

After a while of squirming, new branches grew from the cut part.

"Turn up the flame of the flamethrower and see how resistant this thing is to fire."

Three promethium flamethrowers simultaneously spewed out scorching flames towards the huge lotus, and soon the flames engulfed the entire lotus.

Visibly, the huge lotus began to shake, as if trying to extinguish the flames on its body, and more pollen spewed out.

"I failed to control the fire and set the house on fire..."

The scorching flames burned through the roof, and at the same time, Emperor Longwu in the original plot was awakened.

Countless swords pierced through the roof and floated in the air. At the same time, Emperor Longwu, who had a certain human form, appeared, and in the next moment, he controlled countless swords to attack Zhang Yi and the others.

"Come on! Dragon Emperor from another world, let's have a fight..."

"Trazyn! I have a present for you!"

The charging Dragon Emperor crashed headfirst into a suddenly opened portal, and the Pathfinder Space Marine who was eager to jump towards the enemy was stunned for a moment when he saw the disappearing Dragon Emperor, and then fell off the roof.

"Boss, you... Damn it!"

"...How about I open the door now and let you go to Qin Wu to fight?"

At this moment, the earth suddenly began to tremble violently. Emperor Longwu, who was the main pillar for sealing He Luoshen, disappeared from this world, which meant that the seal was broken.

The four major families alone could not have sealed the Heluo God. Five hundred years ago, the evil god who had ruled mankind for a thousand years and devoured countless people broke the seal!

A huge dragon-like creature broke out of the ground and howled towards the sky.

"Hiss~ My first sense is really weak~" Zhang Yi said, looking at the huge creature not far away.

"I feel like any great demon can kill it." Chapter Master Kerr echoed. "There are many 40K worlds with this kind of regional god, right?"

"A stronger psychic can be counted, right?" Zhang Yi said, opening the portal and shouting. "Wu Mo, you go up now."

"Don't! Fight! with! me!"

The Space Marine holding the energy [Pathfinder] jumped directly into the portal in front of it and fell from above the head of the giant snake. The blue blade of light pierced the secret scales.

roar--!

He Luoshen roared in pain, and Wu Mo, who was above its head, took out two sword handles at this time, and then blue blades of light popped out.

brush--!

The red scales were directly opened to reveal an X-shaped wound. The evil god who had ruled the human world for thousands of years and left the five major families with no choice but to seal him was now injured by one person.

He Luoshen has been sealed for so long, it is certain that his strength has declined, and the indigenous forces of this world have not made any progress in all these years - this is why he wants to trigger the "warm snow", so that his enemies can kill each other, then there is no need for him to take the risk of failure, right? Just do it himself

However, Zhang Yi and his group of outsiders completely interrupted He Luoshen's original plan. This kind of "mechanical deification"-style development was completely unexpected for the big snake.

The scales that could not be hurt by swords or invaded by water or fire have now been torn to pieces by the attacks of various epoch-making weapons, and bright red blood is splattered everywhere.

He Luoshen, who had never experienced such a thing, began to feel fear. Even when he was sealed by the five major families, he had never been afraid, but now he was afraid.

It began to flip its body violently, trying to throw the Pathfinder Space Marine off its body, and at this moment, a small square object attacked it from the air.

Bang--!

The inconspicuous little thing contained enormous power, which directly knocked it to the ground, causing the ground to crack and gravel and dust to fly.

Then, a golden-blue pot-lid-shaped magic circle appeared in the air, covering He Luoshen who had fallen to the ground.

"Father... Boss, are the spells you cast from this freshly translated magic book reliable?" Kerr said, holding the spell book from Katamachi. "If you learn from the Ancient One, you will definitely make the Supreme Sorcerer very angry..."

"Shut up! Didn't I use it?"

"... It flickers like a light bulb with bad contact..."

"..."

As Black Stone's weapons pierced into He Luoshen's body one by one (no matter whether they were useful or not, they would just be inserted first), the giant snake-like creature was temporarily controlled, but how to take it away became a big problem.

"How about we transport them in stages?" Kerr suggested. "Gods and the like should be hard to kill, right?"

"Hmm...let's try?" (Zhang Yi)

"Leave it to me! (Large Chainsaw Sword Activated)" (Wu Mo)

(He Luoshen: Don’t come over here!!!)

． ． ． Dozens of days later...

When Bi'an, the protagonist and the last prince of the Long family, finally arrived at the imperial city, all he saw was a ruin after a fire.

The noise of the battle in the imperial city was naturally known to the four surviving families. Soon after, the "warm snow" that seemed like a natural disaster also disappeared.

When they decided to check what was going on, they only saw fire all over the city and white lotuses gradually withering in the flames - this also meant that Bi'an, who had originally planned to kill the patriarchs of the four major families according to the will of the 'Holy Mother', came to nothing in the territories of various families.

The Pig and Turtle families have already met and clashed in the imperial city, and there is not a single person left in the Crane family. No one knows where they have gone. The Tiger family, which is half of Bi'an's maternal family, has only the half-crazy family patriarch left.

Now, the 'Holy Mother' has lost her response, the White Lotus that he needed to destroy has also disappeared, the four major families have started to fight among themselves, and the 'Nuanxue' that brought pain to the world has also disappeared...

All of a sudden, it seemed as if the world no longer needed the protagonist Bi'an, and this made him doubt his life for the first time in his life...

But this has nothing to do with Zhang Yi~

(Hey, hey, ※)

321.DIO: I suddenly felt a chill on my back

An alien god, fragmented and taken from his own world, was turned into research material by a group of Adeptus Mechanicus who were unable to be affected by its powers.

He Luoshen, a powerful evil god who can stir up blood and rain in his own world, can't cause any big waves in the vast world.

And when this god has lost all research value, its soul and body will be transformed into material for manufacturing weapons and equipment, and not a single bit will be wasted (Mechanicus follower with glowing eyes).

Terra, which was blocked by the light curtain and became the cage of the evil gods, has now replaced the [Star Torch] as the beacon of mankind in the subspace. Even though the cage that imprisoned the four evil gods is far away, the golden light it emits can be clearly seen.

On the other hand, due to the fall of Terra and the Milky Way, coupled with Tzeentch's previous conspiracy, the entire human empire was divided into three, and all fell into varying degrees of chaos.

In the area centered on Macragge, where many Space Marine chapters have their home planets, the rebellion has been basically suppressed and recovery and development have begun.

Centered on Terra, which was once the most fertile territory of the human empire, it is now the main target of suppression. With the Four Gods sealed and the Emperor gone, all kinds of monsters and demons have emerged from this area.

Some were bewitched by the creatures of the Warp into rebelling; others were attracted to the Cage, such as the attacks of alien races like the Orks or the Tyranids; even worse were those who believed that now that the Emperor was gone, they could establish themselves as kings, just as they did before the Great Crusade began - even without the bewitching influence of the evil gods, humans were not a very noble race.

Finally, there is the area centered on the four [Artificial Maelstrom Devices] called [Whirlpool Fortresses]. Although the four gods have been locked up, causing the demons of different factions to fall into a certain degree of chaos, the impact on the demons of the two factions of Khorne and Slaanesh is not that great - they continue to fight and do what they should do.

This means that the pressure on this star region has not been reduced much today. The Khorne demons and Orks are still fighting fiercely, and countless Khorne believers are still eager to fight DOM.

The future of the human empire still has a long way to go...
