Warhammer 40 A New Hope

"There are indeed things that can relieve soul/vitality trauma, and it's no problem to give them to you." Zhang Yi jumped down from the kitten's hand and said. "As for weapons, the dwarves are a bit busy recently, and I guess they don't have time. In that case..."

"While you go get the corresponding potion, I'll ask Leonidas for one for you."

"Believe me, it's definitely a good match for you."

. . . . . .

Cliffside Forest

This is the cenotaph of Ruby's mother. She was once a member of the STRQ team and was also the main force in the expedition against Salem.

As a powerful silver-eyed warrior, Seren has some memories of her, which probably caused Seren a lot of trouble.

But she still died. The immortality bestowed upon Seren by the Twin Gods made it impossible for her to be destroyed. And it was with this that she spread despair - a madman who would never die and tried to destroy the world would definitely plunge many people into fear and despair.

Qiang, Ruby and their friends are about to hit the road, heading for the safe haven. This journey will not be easy, as they will also experience the real world and its dangers.

"Ozpin, you two are really 'full of evil'." Zhang Yi hid aside and said to Ruby who came to mourn her mother. "Family conflicts have been turned into world problems..."

"It's not the first or second time that you humans have been stupid." Kaxiu said as he stood beside Zhang Yi. "Are you not going with them?"

"No need, I have helped as much as I can." Zhang Yi said. "According to the timeline I know, nothing would have happened to them during this trip..."

"Besides, the damned people are not dead. In fact, they have been 'strengthened'."

"By the way, what about your research over there?"

"It has been confirmed that there is a so-called soul and self, which is being nurtured in the body of the Silent King." Kashu said. "However, our current bodies are not suitable for accommodating new and fragile souls, and the same is true for the programs in our brains..."

"It's obvious that the Star God never thought of preserving our souls..."

"I handed over part of the body of the little mechanical girl named Penny. The Silent King is having people study and replicate the metal structure of the body at the atomic level to create a new body that is suitable for housing and nurturing the soul. At the same time, they are looking for something more suitable for housing the soul."

"It is said that he is considering the [Soul Stone] of the Eldar..."

"You should have that, right?"

"...Don't think about my collection room. He won't pay for the things he takes..."

At this point, Ruby had already left, following the members of Team JNPR, heading towards the safe haven.

Zhang Yi and Kaxiu also walked out, looked at the tombstone in front of them, and then looked at the scenery in the distance.

"Where are you going next?" asked Kaxiu.

"Well... let's go to the Beast Island, and take someone with you."

"I thought you were going to Qingtian."

"It's too early for Salem to attack Qingtian, and your research has not yet produced any results. I won't be used as a gun for you."

"If you want to catch Seren, send someone yourself."

"... I'm not interested in that... 'reluctant woman' for now." Kaxiu said. "I plan to look for the reincarnation of the immortal."

"Anyway, in your mouth, he is also a disaster, isn't he?"

339. Preparing to Go to Trapped Beast Island (Part )

Near the borders of the human empire

A huge, activated [World Engine] is quietly parked in the dark universe, surrounded by a large number of Necromancer warships.

An Eldar ship, surrounded by layers of enemies, sailed into the huge planetary battleship.

Under the gaze of a large number of Necron warriors, a team of Eldar troops with the Eldar Death God logo walked down from the ship, carrying several blank Soul Stones.

A crypt technician led the Eldar through the heavily guarded defenses and finally arrived at a huge black and green hall.

Surrounded by a large number of [Three Holy Guards], [King of Silence] Shalet is being placed in a huge, static device (to prevent his vital energy from dissipating).

"It's actually true..." The Eldar prophet who led the team sighed as he felt the souls nurtured in the huge instrument. "You have found your souls..."

[To be precise, it’s not about finding it back.] Shalett’s voice came from all directions. [It’s about getting something new again. . . ]

【Where is the thing I want? 】

As Shalet asked, the Eldar holding the box of soul stones walked forward and opened the box in his hand. Several crystal clear blank soul stones were placed in it.

【very good】

The tomb technician who led the team was about to step forward to take the soul stone away, but was stopped by the Eldar prophet. At the same time, the [Three Holy Guards] around him moved.

【Do you want to break the agreement? 】

"Not really." The leading Eldar prophet replied. "I just want to confirm the deal between us."

[Give us the Soul Stone. Once it is confirmed to be effective, we will send at least one army led by the Overlord to provide assistance for possible future operations to bring back your gods from the Garden of Nurgle.] Sharat said, [I have never forgotten.]

[But you must understand that it is impossible for an army led by a Overlord alone to pass through the territory of that Subspace creature. To find and bring back your god, you need the help of humans, or more precisely, his help...]

【As far as we know, some fools among your race are trying to take advantage of the human empire's misfortune at this time...】

"...Yes." said the Eldar prophet. "Not all of our compatriots are willing to let her (Ephrenee) rule and manage, and not everyone is willing to give up those things they once had..."

[I don't care about your business. You'd better consider the consequences of being an enemy of humans. But now...]

[Give me the Soul Stone and leave here before I regret it! The creation of the Ancient Saints! ]

Bridge of an Eldar fleet command ship

"Enemy attack!!!"

Bang bang bang－－!

Biubiubiu－－!

There was a continuous sound of bolter and dart gun firing, and suddenly an entire army of Space Marines from the Imperial Fists appeared. As soon as they passed through the portal, they launched a fierce attack on all enemies present.

The sudden attack caught the Eldar soldiers on the bridge off guard, while on the other side, almost every Imperial Fist Space Marine was equipped with a heavy shield with an additional energy shield to counter the ordinary dart weapons that had insufficient armor-piercing capabilities.

The number of Eldar soldiers in the bridge began to decrease rapidly, and at this moment a beam of hot light shot towards the lined-up Imperial Fists Space Marines.

Zizi--BOOM!

The energy shield on the shield that was hit quickly overloaded and exploded, and the thick ceramic steel shield surface was also melted.

Upon seeing this, the Space Marines in charge of the assault immediately dispersed their formation and attacked their target, who was also a powerful Eldar psyker, from multiple directions, but the rising wall of fire melted all the incoming metal bullets.

"You may be able to successfully hunt down those weak Eldar leaders, but you will never be able to defeat me!"

Psychic energy surged throughout the body of the Eldar leader, and the wall of fire that protected her began to rotate at high speed the next moment, forming a fire tornado that rushed towards her enemy.

"Melt in my flames, you vile monkey!"

The scorching flames almost engulfed half of the bridge, turning the general space into a sea of ​​fire, and the air also became scorching hot.

At this moment, a huge transparent figure passed through the burning flames and punched the Eldar leader in the astonishment of her expression.

The wall of fire that rose again failed to melt the huge fist. She was knocked to the ground by the punch and then grabbed and dragged along.

The Last Wall

When the bloody corpse of the Eldar that was dragged on the ground lay in front of the [Imperial Fists] Space Marines, Dorn appeared behind his descendants. Behind him, the stand-in, which existed like a mobile fortress, gradually disappeared.

"I have to say, this ability called Stand is really useful." Dorn said. "Now, I can guard a gap by myself..."

"As long as it can solve the headache problem after using it for a long time."

Then, Dorn looked at his offspring and ordered: "Take over this ship and spread the news of their leader's death before the portal back is opened..."

"At the same time, expose our location so that the nearby Imperial Navy can receive it."

"If these Eldar still want to be enemies of the Empire, let them pay the price in blood!"

. . . . . .

The operation to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys against the faction of the Eldar who tried to take advantage of the Empire's misfortune is proceeding in an orderly manner.

The plan proposed by Zhang Yi was indeed effective. After the elf leaders who tried to take advantage of the situation were killed, it did make others cautious and fearful.

Although many Eldar still chose to continue their action stubbornly, Zhang Yi's close-range teleportation, which was hard to guard against, and the deaths of their own people, made these people begin to consider withdrawing - they came to plunder, not to die, and judging from the deaths of one Eldar leader after another, the human empire was not as weak as they had heard.

Except for some capable and particularly stubborn Eldar, those Eldar fleets that intended to plunder the Human Empire withdrew from this group for various reasons, and a crisis was weakened.

According to Evelyne's information, the Human Empire has already found the location of the remaining, stubborn Eldar fleet and is ready to annihilate it.

On the other hand, the rich star region centered on Terra, which has turned into a cage, has been basically controlled. Although it still requires more time and manpower to stabilize, large-scale chaos has been avoided for the time being.

The chaos on the northern front also began to subside. After DOM killed group after group of demons, mainly those of Khorne, the number of demons finally began to decrease.

Although some information shows that the reason for this situation is that some high-level demons, including the Great Daemon of Khorne, began to organize their demons to withdraw to the warp - after all the brainless ones died, the remaining ones more or less had some brains.

The restoration of the star sector planets near Macragge has been basically completed, construction work has begun, and a large number of potential labor forces have been found from various places to start building a new human empire.

However, for Guilliman, the things he needed to worry about did not decrease at all.

"Dividing into functional areas, experimental transformation of traditional hive cities, experimental reform of the military..."

"Build and station garrisons fortresses and armies, clean up the lower levels of the hives, bring out more potential labor, and distribute them evenly to each planet..."

"...Where is my father?" Guilliman said tiredly to his son who was helping him process documents.

"O'Neill, His Majesty the Emperor... is out having fun..."

"... (blood pressure rises)..."

"Father, how about you try to awaken the [Stand] as well?"

"...In the current situation, even if I have two more hands, it will not be enough."

"Fortunately, the problem with the Eldar has been solved for the time being. Evelyne did not lie to us." Guilliman rubbed his brow and said, "The rest is completely within our control... What are you looking at me for?"

"...fine..."

"Those are just rumors from my new brother's world. I've said that many times!"

"...yes...(tilts head)"

"... (blood pressure rises again)..."

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

The construction plan of the new empire is proceeding in an orderly manner. Large-scale wars are not without benefits. Some messes and bad debts that could not be dealt with before due to various reasons can be directly overthrown and rebuilt - at the cost of Guilliman's crazy hair loss.

The rights of the Mechanicus were redefined, and new weapons and equipment began to be researched, tested and equipped on a large scale without the influence of Tzeentch. At the same time, the revision of the definition of sub-humans was put on the agenda, and unprecedented exchanges with alien races were also carried out.

The new human empire must not only restore its former glory, but also become even more powerful so that it will be able to deal with the four gods who may break the seal in a hundred years - at that time, there will no longer be an emperor who can protect mankind.

All the credit for this achievement should go to Zhang Yi. He brought hope to the entire universe, and not just to humans - although Guilliman was not very happy.

But now Zhang Yi is being watched by a father.

"I told you before, I am an uncle in the eyes of your two daughters..."

"And they don't control uncles..."

340. Preparing to Go to Trapped Beast Island (Part )

Before leaving again, Ruby asked Zhang Yi to check on his sister Yang, as she had not been feeling well recently because her arm was cut off by Adam.

She was not depressed because of losing an arm, but because of fear - Adam's blow brought her a huge mental shock.

The robotic hand has been taken back by her father, but Yang, who is traumatized physically and mentally, doesn't want to wear it - she can't face the battle like before.

Therefore, although Taiyang Xiao Long was very reluctant, for the sake of his daughter who stayed at home, he agreed to let Zhang Yi see the current Yang.

"Ruby asked me to come and see you." Zhang Yi said, looking at Yang who was now a little depressed. "If possible, she asked me to help you too."

"Thank Ruby for me." Yang said. "Thank you too, Uncle Zhang, but..."

"Don't rush to refuse, let me ask you something first." Zhang Yi interrupted Yang and said, "Do you feel any psychological pressure from beating up your father?"

"Ah?" Yang didn't react for a moment. "Why would I hit my father..."

The next moment, the familiar father turned into 'Adam' who cut off her arm in front of her. Then, before both parties could react, she couldn't help but punch him in the face, and 'Adam' turned back into her Taiyang Xiao Long in front of her.

"Dad!"

Seeing his father knocked to the ground by him, Yang immediately stepped forward and helped him up.
