Warhammer 40 A New Hope

However, as both of them were battle fanatics, they couldn't help but get excited.

Akaza had said before that the reason why Kokushibo voluntarily became a demon was similar to the former one - to become stronger than anyone else.

As the brother of the genius swordsman Yoshiichi Tsugakuni, he is under tremendous pressure. When people mention him, the first thing they think of is not that he is also a powerful swordsman, but that he is the younger brother of the genius swordsman Yoshiichi Tsugakuni.

As a human, Tsugikoku Yoriichi was able to single-handedly beat the Demon King Muzansa so that he dared not come out of the world for hundreds of years. Kokushibo also wanted to become like that, but his younger brother was too strong - so strong that even when he was very old and only had one breath left, he could still behead Kokushibo, who had turned into a demon, with two swords.

Since then, Kokushibo has never met a strong man who can make him feel despair or blood boiling, but now a being stronger than anyone he has ever seen is standing in front of him!

"To be honest, I don't want to kill you two for now." Zhang Yi said calmly, as if he was chatting with his neighbors. "On the one hand, one of you can still be saved, but on the other hand, if I kill you and Muzan goes into hiding again, it will be hard to find him~"

"Although, if we want to find it, it shouldn't take much time, but we don't have enough manpower right now."

"so..."

"Akaza, do you remember why you want to become stronger?"

"Why do you want to become stronger? Is this reasonable..."

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but Akaza suddenly couldn't continue because he seemed to feel something - he seemed to have forgotten something.

"As for Kokushibo, you want to become stronger than your brother, Yoriichi Tsugikoku, but... have you forgotten this original goal since some time? In other words, have you gone astray?"

"Well, that's enough chit-chat~"

Snapped!

Zhang Yi clapped his hands together fiercely, making a crisp sound of applause, which made the two people, who were distracted, focus their attention on himself again.

"I will make sure you two return alive and look as miserable as possible."

Bear--!

The scorching flames began to leap on the mottled giant sword in Zhang Yi's hand, and the temperature around it began to rise.

Whoosh—boom—!

As Zhang Yi fiercely swung the giant sword in his hand towards the two of them, a wave of scorching fire came towards them, and all the materials along the way began to burn.

Destruction, killing and chaos!

Type 5: Moon Soul Disaster Vortex!

The two upper-rank demons attacked at the same time, dispersing the rolling heat waves that were coming towards them, but the next second they were surprised to find that Zhang Yi, who had been quite a distance away from them just now, had appeared in front of them - there were two of them!

"In the words of a certain purple-haired girl: Hit with the back of your shield!"

Bang--!

Kokushibo and Akaza were hit by the side of the heavy giant sword almost at the same time. The scorching flames instantly enveloped them and then flew away.

【Kill them! Don't let them get away! 】

【Change, constant change is what’s important! 】

"I feel like I'm going crazy..." The giant sword in his hand began to disintegrate and turned into a pile of sand. The burning ground around it also gradually went out. "But, no matter what, I'm a lot more used to it than when I first started."

"Ruby~Do you want me to carry you back for treatment~"

"... MD Slaanesh, you just came out at this time, right?!"

When Zhang Yi went to rescue Ruby and others, a team of golden imperial guards also came to the location of Qiang and others. While providing them with a certain degree of treatment, they led them to the target location and prepared to evacuate.

"and many more!"

At this moment, Tanjiro, who had been watching and slacking off in the previous battle, called out to one of the imperial guards who was like a giant to him.

The imperial guard who was stopped looked at Tanjiro. Just by looking at each other, Tanjiro could feel a pressure from him that was stronger than any person or demon he had ever seen before.

The imperial guard stared at Tanjiro in front of him for a while, then looked at Nezuko behind him, which made her shrink behind her brother.

"you..."

"The ghost will be destroyed." The imperial guard spoke first. "You have the ability to destroy this man-eating monster."

"but not now."

"Keep trying, mortal."

"The source of tragedy will end."

408. Military Training in Progress (VIII)

After the imperial guard finished speaking like a riddler, they took Qiang and others away, leaving behind Kyojuro and others who were not seriously injured.

Just as he said, the ghosts will be completely wiped out, but not now. The Human Empire does not have the extra experience and manpower to deal with the various problems of this world, and this world is not worth the Human Empire spending a lot of energy, manpower and time to occupy it.

If it weren't for Zhang Yi, the current leader of the Human Empire, most Space Marines and Custodes would never set foot in this world - it neither has valuable support nor strong enough opponents to deal with.

And as Zhang Yi said before, there are many worlds like this where humanity suffers tragedy and oppression, and the Human Empire does not have the ability to take care of them all - if the Human Empire does not become strong enough before the Four Gods escape, then even they themselves will face another huge disaster.

This is the cruel reality.

Moon World

"According to the report from the Fourth Army, their operations have encountered great obstacles recently." A low-level Mechanicus priest handed a report to Archsage Cawl. "They requested support."

"What's the specific situation?"

"According to the information we have, they seem to have encountered some kind of huge mechanical abnormality, and our target, the Golden Bough, is inside that huge abnormality."

"According to the data we found about the abnormality in that branch of [L Company], the abnormality is called: [Crying Garbage Monster]..."

"It seems to have similar properties to another Abnormality we know of - [Laughing Corpse Mountain], except that it absorbs various non-living entities..."

"Before, due to the difference in day and night, the abnormality of the L Company branch escaped, and for a long time afterwards, it kept turning various things into parts of its body."

"If that's all, it shouldn't be enough to cause those clones of the [Fourth Army] to suffer heavy losses and request backup."

"Yes, but... it is said that the Abnormality may have devoured a lost [Singularity Technology] creation."

. . . . . .

[Wings of the World] is the entity that manages the [City]. During the long period of time since the [City] was established, [Wings of the World] has also undergone exchanges.

For those [Wings of the World] that were "broken" for various reasons, some of the [Singularity Technology] they possessed were swallowed up by other companies or successors, and some simply disappeared. Only in the records of [Company A] was there a record of such a magical technology.

The [Fourth Army], which was sold to the Mechanicus at a low price, carried standard equipment and a small amount of supplies and conducted an exploratory operation against a larger distribution area of ​​[L Company].

Having been abandoned by [R Company], their lives have entered the countdown stage. As clones, they are subject to many restrictions under the regulations of [A Company].

Some soldiers from the army group have already shown symptoms of body dissolution. If they were still under the control of [R Company], they would have received corresponding treatment or cloned a new one to replace them.

However, they, who have been abandoned, obviously cannot enjoy the previous treatment again. Now they have to rely on their new leaders to have the corresponding skills or be willing to give them money.

However, the Mechanicus did give them a surprise, and several soldiers with problems were taken away, and returned after a few days after completing treatment - except that parts of their bodies were replaced with mechanical devices, or there were a few more things in their bodies, there was not much difference from before.

Then, a strong man (Zhang Yi), who seems to be their 'new boss', promises them that as long as they can bring back two golden branches or other things of sufficient value, the survivors will have the opportunity to continue living after receiving treatment or transformation.

Even though the soldiers of the [Fourth Army] were all clones, 'consumables' selected after fighting thousands of themselves, it didn't mean they didn't want to live.

This mission was not an easy one. After exploring several L Company branches and ruins and losing a lot of people, they did not gain much. The group of people in red robes seemed disappointed with this result and reduced their already limited support.

When a person is in complete despair, he may give up and lie down, but when he sees a glimmer of hope within reach, he may try to grasp that glimmer of hope at all costs.

At this point, Nikolai, the commander-in-chief of the [Fourth Army], was unwilling to give up this hard-won opportunity. After a brief discussion with several team captains, they decided to head to a larger [L Company] branch whose internal situation was not yet fully known, hoping to get a breakthrough there.

The larger scale also means that there are greater possibilities for threats and unexpected accidents, but fortunately, in the beginning things were still within their control.

But when they encountered an abnormality called "Crying Garbage Monster", the situation changed.

At first, the suppression of this abnormality that could strengthen itself by absorbing all non-living things was smooth. Under the bombardment of the [Rhino Squad] and the [Reindeer Squad], the size of this abnormality began to shrink rapidly.

At this moment, a light that was extremely familiar to the [Fourth Army] appeared on the body of the Abnormality - it completed charging? !

Then, a spiritual scepter like the one held by each member of the [Reindeer Squad] appeared in various parts of the body of this abnormality, and dozens of spiritual force rays bombarded in all directions.

This situation was obviously completely beyond Nicolai's expectations. The members of the Rhino Squad, who served as vanguards and shield guards, immediately suffered heavy losses.

Nikolai immediately ordered the troops to regroup, but then he saw several guns equipped by the Rabbit Squad extending from the Abnormality and opening fire at them the next moment.

In this situation, it was impossible to continue exploring, so Nicolai ordered everyone to retreat and escape from the attack range of the abnormality.

After completing the evacuation, they learned from the information they had collected that there was an incomplete, suspected [Singularity Technology] in this branch.

According to the situations and data from previous battles, this [Singularity Technology] creation can achieve almost perfect replication and production by disassembling and analyzing some mechanical items. The more complex the creation, the longer the analysis will take and the more samples will be required.

Originally, this [Singularity Technology] creation was very small, and its ability to analyze, copy, and produce items was very limited. In addition, the employees of this branch did not know the principles of this item and were unable to copy it, so it was not taken seriously.

But now, the situation is different. In the previous battle, soldiers wearing army equipment were killed and drowned by this abnormality, and not long after that, the equipment of those soldiers appeared all over the body of this abnormality.

Obviously, this creature that devours various non-living things to strengthen itself, after devouring the [Singularity Technology] creation that was originally useless, accidentally enhanced the ability of the construction.

This was undoubtedly a huge change for everyone in the Fourth Army, but it was also a huge opportunity.

. . . . . .

"The way to use this [Singularity Technology] creation... is just an upgraded STC template..." Zhang Yi said as he looked at the information in his hand. "It also has an automatic analysis function and more powerful raw material compatibility technology. Even a stone thrown in can be used as a raw material..."

"That's true." Ling sat down next to Zhang Yi and said, "But on the other hand, the nature of the abnormality itself has suppressed the effect of this [Singularity Technology] creation to a certain extent..."

"It is being turned into 'garbage' by all the originally orderly machines or other types of existence. At the same time, it does not know how to use this precious [Singularity Technology] creation."

"I can already imagine how crazy and anxious those oil guys are."

At this moment, Zhang Yi suddenly discovered that Ling was sitting very close to him.

"...Don't you have to be busy?"

"I'm not in a hurry to continue researching EGO equipment." Seeing Zhang Yi's somewhat embarrassed expression, Ling hugged Zhang Yi and stuck to him. "After all, I don't always have time to be alone with you."

"... (heartbeat/heartbeat)..."

Zhang Yi was sure that if this world was some pornographic world, he should be able to see love in Zero's eyes - Slaanesh, stop messing around!

As an ordinary person who has been single since the womb in the previous world, you can't expect him to face this situation calmly - this is not written in the textbooks!

At this time, Ling hugged Zhang Yi tighter, and put his red lips close to Zhang Yi's ear.

"Want to touch it? You've always wanted to touch it~"

Bang--!

The door of the room suddenly fell down, and several pathfinders fell to the ground like a pile of people.

"I told you not to push!"

"I'm not squeezed! The people behind me are pushing me!"

"Which step have we reached? Please make way for me and let me see!"

"..."

The eavesdropping Space Marines of the Pathfinder Chapter suddenly fell silent as they saw the kind smile of their Primarch.

"I TM..."

Just as he was about to speak, Zhang Yi suddenly stopped, because Ling, who was holding him, suddenly held his face and kissed him on the mouth.

"...(silence)..."

"oh--!"

"Daddy was kissed forcibly!"

"Where's the camera? Where's the camera?! What are you doing standing there taking pictures?"

"We want to broadcast a message of hope to the entire galaxy."

Those Space Marines from the Pathfinders were making a scene again, and Zhang Yi, the target of the noise...

[The window is not responding, do you want to restart? ]

409. Military Training in Progress (Part )

The existence of the Golden Branch was enough to drive the members of the Mechanicus into a frenzy, but now the existence of [Singularity Technology], which is comparable to an upgraded version of the STC template, makes them even crazier.

But even so, the [Fourth Army], as the discoverer of this target, still hopes to give them a chance. They hope to give them some necessary equipment and let them deal with the abnormality.

As the commander-in-chief, Nikolai hopes to gain full recognition from the Mechanicus through this mission, or be completely wiped out by the enemy.

There have been more and more clone soldiers with various problems. It is obvious that when [R Company] sold them, they did not keep them in the best condition as before, so that they can maintain their best condition for a shorter time.
