Warhammer 40 A New Hope

None of the Blood Moon's attacks could cause any hindrance to Zhang Yi. Its huge size lost its advantage at this moment and became a burden. Everything in this ever-changing world became its enemy.

roar--!

The powerful mental power attacked Zhang Yi again, and a powerful oppressive force appeared. Blood Moon tried to crush Zhang Yi directly with the physical phenomenon caused by his powerful mental power.

brush--!

But this still had no effect. His attack failed to cause any harm to Zhang Yi. On the other side, a huge wound burning with flames appeared above the blood moon.

"Are there any new tricks?" Zhang Yi looked at the blood moon roaring again in front of him, and said with a bit of boredom. "If not, I'll end it~"

"I feel like I'm beginning to be influenced by a hermaphrodite..."

After a brief silence, a weak mental force tried to contact Zhang Yi. This time it was no longer violent and chaotic, but more like... begging for mercy.

With the big golden guy and the four evil gods behind him, Zhang Yi was not afraid of the blood moon or the divine seal having any influence on his mind - according to Khorne, if they wanted to influence or control Zhang Yi, it would not be their turn first.

In the spiritual space, Zhang Yi saw countless black figures crawling on the ground, begging for mercy from him and hoping that he would let them (the divine seal and the blood moon) go. For this reason...

"Before you beg for mercy and want to live under someone else's roof and be their dog, I have to remind you of something." Zhang Yi said to the countless black people. "I have at least one method that can make you have the power of life and death in my hands from now on."

"!"

"I don't know if there are any corresponding novels or stories among the many civilizations you have devoured. I also don't know if you still have any of them after so long, but I can tell you..."

"Situations like that, where once someone signs their name, everything about the person who signed the contract belongs to the 'creditor', really happen to me~"

"At that time, your life or death will depend on my thoughts."

"..."

Although he couldn't see the faces of the little black men in front of him, Zhang Yi could still sense their fear and disbelief - just like a person watching a horror movie and suddenly turning around to find that his friend was extremely similar to one of the characters.

"You have souls. Give me your souls and I will accept your 'surrender'." Zhang Yi's normal, half-glowing face looked a little weird at this moment. "But I won't promise you that I will treat you well. You must pay the price."

These words stunned the little black men who were the images of the divine seal and the blood moon spirit. They had not originally thought of really surrendering. They just wanted to delay time, and then use their powerful influence on the brains and minds of carbon-based creatures to slowly try to influence and control him (Zhang Yi) - after all, to them, all carbon-based creatures were just records of reproducing white eyes.

But it is obvious that once they really choose to surrender to Zhang Yi and his men, and hand over their so-called souls as he said, they will never be able to turn things around.

"...roar!"

The sudden burst of shrill roars and obvious mental shock indicated their final choice. The expressions on the faces of countless black men became ferocious and they pounced towards Zhang Yi.

"I knew it."

As for the sudden attack of the divine seal, Zhang Yi just stood there without any reaction. A golden light appeared from behind him and bloomed.

. . . . . .

"Gently, gently, gently! These feathers are growing on the flesh!"

"Shut up! You should know that if anyone else had feathers like that, I would just dig that flesh out."

"I'll shut up, sir, you continue..."

After Zhang Yi and the Emperor dealt with the blood moon they encountered, the expeditionary force took a period of rest, which also gave researchers time to figure out the various characteristics of the Divine Seal and to research and create a device to resist the influence of the Divine Seal.

Located near the Titan Space Station, the huge Snow Moon body was still floating aimlessly. At the same time, the fragments of the black divine seal brought by Zhang Yi from the planet Taflantis were also sent to the Titan Space Station.

"I finally held back my strength. The black divine seal should still have life, unlike the red divine seals and the blood moon which were directly annihilated."

"Shut up!"

"oh..."

Zhang Yi opened the mirror space and released the power in his arms to deal with the attacks of the Divine Seals and the Blood Moon. The Emperor sensed this from the beginning.

Although it was indeed as he said, he was not overly affected by the Four Gods until the very end, and he was still himself, but using this power still caused some physical changes in his left arm.

"What are you doing with an angle grinder? Wait!"

"The protest is ineffective!"

Perhaps out of revenge, or perhaps out of real concern, the Emperor later personally came to deal with the various abnormalities on Zhang Yi's left arm, using both physical and psychic methods.

In addition to this aspect, the exploration of the Earth-Moon orbit of this world also produced results not long after - fierce fighting was taking place in that area.

It is speculated that the arrival of the expeditionary force disrupted the original plan of the Divine Seal, and the Divine Seal, which had a sense of crisis, caused the Unification Order, which was originally scheduled to take action a few years later, to start the action ahead of schedule.

The result of this is that the Death Space government forces, which have not yet completely declined, still have some room to resist the frenzied attacks of the Unification Church members, and a large number of people have not yet joined the Unification Church.

At the same time, observations from a distance also revealed the existence of a blood moon, which was stationed at a distance from the Earth-Moon orbit, as if it was watching or waiting.

More signals suspected to be blood moons were discovered later. They were all heading towards the solar system, and the first batch would probably arrive in a few months.

Perhaps in a few months, a war between two different civilizations will begin.

468. Confrontation (I)

Dead Space, Earth-Moon Orbit

The sudden attack by the Unification Church caught the government forces off guard.

Although they had been wary of this day before, the Unification Church seemed to be stimulated by something and suddenly launched an attack, causing them to suffer heavy losses for a while.

But compared to the original timeline, where the organization had been infiltrated into a sieve after a few years, the situation now was already good. At least they could still form an organized resistance, and the vast majority of department personnel had not yet been bewitched into joining the Unification Church.

The entire lunar colony was already in a semi-fallen state at this time. The followers of the Unification Church were frantically attacking the buildings wrapped with the Divine Seal. Unlike the government forces who needed to think a lot, the people of the Unification Church only needed to do one thing - to untie the Divine Seal and let the 'death space' carried by the Divine Seal spread out. After that, countless zombies would help them achieve their goal.

Because the plan started early, the Unification Church could not mobilize many troops and personnel, so the government forces were able to cope with it in the beginning.

But when an entire vanguard unit suddenly lost contact and was later confirmed to have become necromancers, the situation began to take a turn for the worse.

After this incident, the government forces first checked all the safety devices of the divine seals they knew about and confirmed that none of them were damaged or released, which meant that the problem was not with them.

From their limited intelligence, it can be confirmed that the Unification Church does not have the method to copy the Divine Seal, nor do they have the corresponding equipment to create the Divine Seal - so, what exactly prompted this army to turn into zombies?

This situation occurred several times afterwards. A small troop sent out lost contact, and when they were found again, they had become zombies. Although there has been no large-scale transformation so far, this alone has made the government soldiers panic, fearing that they would become the next missing troop.

This was the beginning of their defeat.

Somewhere in the lunar colony, the Death Space government forces defending a building wrapped in the divine seal are engaged in a fierce firefight with the followers of the Unification Church. A large garrison was bewitched by the Unification Church and joined their so-called evolution, launching a fierce attack on the garrison here.

The former government army garrison, which had a certain amount of heavy firepower, made the soldiers defending this place feel extremely difficult. They suffered heavy casualties, and there was no sign of support.

Finally, an anti-aircraft vehicle overheated and stopped due to continuous firing, which allowed the enemy's air units to appear in that defense zone.

However, this enemy aerial vehicle did not form a coordinated combat with the ground units. Instead, it ignored the fierce firefight on the ground, stepped on the accelerator and rushed directly towards the building.

This was something the defending forces had never expected. They had no time to intercept the enemy aerial vehicle and could only watch it crash into the interior of the building.

"For the evolution of mankind!"

boom--!

A large amount of high-energy explosives on the flying vehicle were detonated at this time. The whole building was shaking, and a big hole was directly blown in the thick metal plate used to isolate the divine seal. The independent power supply line inside was also affected.

The short-term voltage instability caused the protective shield used to isolate the influence of the divine seal to temporarily lose its effect. It was this brief failure that affected countless corpses around, causing them to stand up after twisting and agitating.

Now, no one can stop them.

～～～～～～ Twelve Hours After the Divine Seal Lost Control～～～～～～

Because the control device of a certain divine seal temporarily failed, the originally relatively even situation was instantly broken and began to lean towards the Unification Church.

Although the people of the Unification Church are within the attack range of most of the zombies, the Divine Seal knows that at this stage they cannot give up these foolish creatures that believe in it, so it is still guiding the zombies to bypass the large group of Unification Church members, while also preventing the people of the Unification Church from rushing into the group of zombies.

The loss of control of a divine seal was like lighting the fuse of gunpowder. A large number of zombies began to attack all living creatures around them and turned them into zombies as well.

Under the attack of the zombies, the already shaky government forces were directly dispersed, and the followers of the Unification Church took this opportunity to completely liberate the divine seal, and then repeated the action in other places.

During these twelve hours, half of the lunar colony base has fallen, and it is only a matter of time before the remaining areas fall.

The government's reinforcements and fleet were also blocked on the way by the Unification Church. Now the government forces of this world can only maintain stability on Earth, and they have no time to take care of areas outside.

The space station on the moon also fell into chaos after the divine seal was released. Compared with the people on the ground, the people in the space station didn't even have a place to hide. The entire space station had become a closed coffin in the lunar orbit.

Not only that, the Unification Church also activated the space station's indiscriminate attack mode, which required anyone who tried to leave the moon on a spacecraft to pray that they would not be shot down by the space station - most people were not so lucky.

Suddenly, an unknown ship, much larger than most ships currently built by humans in Dead Space, appeared near the lunar orbit and headed towards the lunar space station that had basically lost its function.

As the enemy approached, all weapons of the lunar space station immediately launched an attack on it, but the strength of the energy shield possessed by the enemy exceeded the understanding of humans in the death space, and all attacks were blocked, while the blue shield remained bright.

After approaching the space station, the small close-in defense gun destroyed the defense weapons on one side, and then several landing capsules flew towards the space station.

Bang bang bang－－!

The heavy landing capsule smashed through the outer area of ​​the space station, and three Space Marines with the insignia of the Emperor's Children chapter walked out of it, holding Gauss weapons.

"No enemy found!"

"Stay alert! Let's go meet up with the engineering team first!"

Fulgrim, the Primarch of the Emperor's Children Chapter, also stepped out of his landing capsule, looked around, and confirmed the location of other teams.

After some communication, Fugen discovered that it seemed that he and the other two teams were the only ones in different positions, and it would take some time to meet up with them.

"Change the plan. You are responsible for protecting the engineering team as they head to the main control room and taking control of the space station to facilitate the subsequent landing and evacuation operations." Fugen ordered. "I will go back to deal with the high-threat targets in this space station and ensure control of the power room of the space station."

"Finally, everyone will meet in the main control room!"

. . . . . .

At the same time that Fulgrim and his descendants began their attempt to take control of the lunar space station, dozens of landing capsules streaked across the sky above the lunar colony and eventually landed on the ground.

The coalition forces composed of Pathfinders, Ultramarines, Blood Angels and a small number of Necrons and Mechanical forces will land on the ground first and clear a safe landing area for subsequent troops.

This was originally supposed to be the job of the Astra Militarum or the native planetary defense force, to ensure a safe landing area for the powerful demigod warriors so that they could turn the tide of the battle (it's no problem if they can't do it, the Space Marines' landing capsules are difficult to intercept). However, based on the characteristics of the enemies in this world, ordinary troops who are weak and have insufficient willpower will most likely not only fail to complete the mission, but will also be influenced and controlled by the divine seal and become the source of soldiers for the enemy.

So after discussion, Zhang Yi and others decided to let the Space Marines land on the ground first, eliminate some of the enemies, clear out a suitable landing area, and build and install a device jointly developed and manufactured by the Mechanicus and the Necromancer technicians. It can isolate the influence of the Divine Seal on the biological brain to a certain extent, so as to ensure the safe landing and deployment of the Astra Militarum forces and their artillery units.

The bright light emitted in the air when the drop capsule appeared, and the loud noise made when it landed, attracted the attention of various beings including the zombies, and they began to rush towards the crash site of the landing capsule for various reasons.

When they arrive, they will see giants about two or three meters tall, and they are holding weapons in their hands that most people in this world cannot manufacture or understand at this stage, and they can destroy all threatening existences.

Perhaps before, the people of Divine Seal and the Unification Church had already completed the first stage of their goals and were making great progress, but their plans later on would not be so easy - they would see the vanguard of the army from the 40K Human Empire, and...

A power more powerful than the divine seal.

469. Confrontation (II)

Bang bang bang－－!

Bear--!

First use large-caliber firearms, such as grenade launchers, to smash the attacking zombies into small pieces, and then use a promethium flamethrower to completely burn them to death. The main purpose is to not give the opponent any chance of resurrection.

The Space Marines' actions on this planet are all carried out in teams. The powerful demigod warriors use exaggerated firearms and skillful coordination to eliminate every zombie that attempts to attack them, and quickly clear a safe landing area according to the plan.

However, in the lunar orbit of this world, the operations of the Emperor's Children were not going smoothly.

Although Fulgrim had spent a great deal of time recruiting former Emperor's Children Space Marines from other Chapters, or Space Marines transformed using the Emperor's Children's gene-seed, other Primarchs also provided some help in this process.

But Fulgrim still didn't find many people - too much time had passed, and most of the loyal [Emperor's Children] Space Marines had been liquidated or killed in the previous great rebellion. Most of them followed the demon Fulgrim into Chaos and partyed every day, so Fulgrim didn't have many people he could use, and not everyone could forgive Fulgrim for what he had done like Zhang Yi and the others.

The small space and complex environment of the space station brought great inconvenience to their actions, not to mention that they also needed to devote their energy to protecting a group of engineering soldiers led by Isaac to ensure that they could gain control of the space station later.

The vast majority of zombies are unable to cause damage to Space Marines wearing power armor, but for ordinary engineers who do not have such heavy defenses, the lethality of these twisted monsters is still considerable.

Therefore, this team's movement speed was not very fast, not to mention the possible road congestion problem caused by the previous attack and chaos in the space station.

On the other side, Fugen was walking alone in the dark passage, looking for a way.

Bang—crack!

Through the amplification of the power armor and the enormous strength possessed by the Primarch himself, Fulgrim forcibly pried open a stuck metal door, and a zombie then rushed out.

boom!

In response to the zombie's sudden attack, it was hit by a heavy hammer, and its entire head was directly shattered, and then its two sharp claws were broken like chopsticks.

brush--!

The power scimitar with the decomposition field cut it into two, then Fulgrim took out a piece of fire dust crystal, crushed it, and threw it on the corpse.

Although its temperature is not as high as the flame emitted by a promethium flamethrower, this relatively easy-to-carry mineral from another world that can create flames and explosions at any time is still circulated in the Empire.

And for Fulgrim, there's another reason to use this mineral - it looks good.

The flames ignited by the dust crystal quickly engulfed the zombie. Fulgrim stepped over the burning zombie and continued to move forward.

There were some unmutated human corpses on the ground nearby. They died in the attacks of the Unification Church and the zombies.

Fulgrim took the hard drive of a portable computer from a corpse and installed it on his power armor to make sure that there was no problem with his route.
