Warhammer 40 A New Hope

After the second company's Terminator team entered the scene, they obviously absorbed the experience of the first company's failure, and moved forward steadily and quickly approached the location of the artifact.

But in the end, they fell to the attack of multiple Chaos Terminators that suddenly appeared.

"Since this maze allows people from different timelines to appear in the same time and space, then it is possible for several groups of the same enemy from different timelines to appear at the same time, right?"

Zhang Yi looked at the captain of the Terminator team, Fal, and listened to his serious nonsense.

Although this situation is indeed possible, the Necrons never seem to have played it this way before, which means that doing so is either not feasible in practice or has great hidden dangers.

However, this does confirm a very important point of this mission, that is, the process from starting the mission to entering the [Super Dimension Maze], and then obtaining the artifact and escaping, should be as fast as possible.

Not to mention that [Tarasim the Infinite] may appear at any time and wipe out everyone, the Dark Eldar pirates who are stuck in a cycle and unable to escape and the Chaos Terminator team are a big problem.

In that space, all the enemies you have destroyed may appear in front of you again.

Looking at the two teams that had begun to trip each other up, Zhang Yi estimated that this situation would continue until the mission began.

"... This is a sign of their good relationship..."

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Terra, forest in the XCOM universe

The few forests that had not been developed and cut down by the elders now became the residence of Master Kua Kuaat and a group of lizardmen.

A large amount of stone and gold were sent here, and a simple Lizardman-style temple was built.

Zhang Yi had previously asked Master Kua Kuat to research and try to make something that would allow the warriors who entered the [Super Dimensional Maze] to not be affected by that space.

Kwa-Kwat agreed to give it a try. Although they were creations of the Ancients and did know something about the enemy of their Creator, it was quite limited.

It is obvious that the ancient saints who created them did not want their creations to bear the consequences of their mistakes and face more powerful enemies on a more brutal battlefield.

Moreover, the Necrons, who have received all kinds of black technologies from the Star Gods, can create various creations that can only be compared with the humans in the Golden Age. Even the humans in the Golden Age may not be able to understand some things (such as the Brilliant Star Map).

After all, it is an existence that can suppress all the monsters in the subspace by relying solely on science and technology, without relying on any metaphysics...

"Any results?" Zhang Yi asked, looking at the huge Master Kua Kuat in front of him.

"... a very, very advanced and powerful creation..." Master Kwa Kwat opened his eyes and came out of his meditation. "The great enemy of our Creator, their creation is so powerful that it is beyond imagination..."

"But not unbeatable..."

"I have an idea, but it requires a lot of materials and time, and..."

"It is impossible to create a complete targeted item in such a short time. Its function is extremely limited and has certain restrictions."

"Just do the best you can," Zhang Yi said. "This is a difficult task in itself."

"All we can do is to be fully prepared..."

70. Training in progress (Part )

Da da da da da!

The assault cannon fired through, knocking out a row of Necron warriors, then dodged sideways to avoid the incoming green lightning.

boom!

A Terminator carrying a storm shield and a thunder hammer rushed to the huge Necron Destroyer and hammered it hard, interrupting its attack.

After cleaning up the other Necron Terminators, they all pointed their guns at the only remaining enemy.

boom!

Under the concentrated fire of various weapons, the huge Necron Destroyer was destroyed, but the Terminators did not dare to stay for too long and continued to move forward.

After entering a spacious circular room, they finally saw their target - the Eldar artifact.

But they also saw another presence.

The master here [Tarasim the Endless]

[Simulation failed]

The Terminator Squad of the 1st Company of [Ultramarines], which was judged to have failed its mission, was kicked out of the simulation program, and they all looked very unconvinced.

"You really want to fight the 'Handy King'..." Looking at the angry Space Marines, Zhang Yi was a little doubtful. "It's not that you can't beat him, but in that situation..."

"It's basically impossible for you to win, and there's a high probability that you will leak our information."

Originally serving as the recorder/caretaker of the Necrontyr, Trazyn the Infinite is not a combatant and his combat capability is not very good.

However, as one of the earliest awakened [Necrons], he has continued his collection work for tens of thousands of years.

In his treasure trove, in addition to various black technologies that were said to have been manufactured during the heyday of the Necrons, there was even a pair of imprisoned ancient orcs, a captured imperial guard, a Tyranid tyrant and other living creatures.

Just because he can collect these things, Taraxin is definitely not an opponent that can be easily defeated, let alone in the [Super Dimension Maze] trap set by the opponent.

The training has been going on for about three months. During this period, the two teams of Terminator warriors have put forward one improvement suggestion after another to the simulation program and have continuously increased the difficulty of the simulated battles.

From the Dark Eldar pirates at the beginning, to the Chaos Terminator squad and their minions (Chaos Followers) trapped in it, and finally the various Necron troops that may exist as guards and processing troops.

[Ultimate Warriors] are constantly trying out various different weapon and personnel configurations and trying to find the mission target as quickly as possible.

But there are two problems that cannot be avoided.

If you want to find the artifact as quickly as possible, you need to be able to find the general direction of the artifact, otherwise you can only cross the river blindly - groping your way along.

In addition, as long as [The Endless Taraxin] finds out and comes looking for us, this mission will definitely not succeed.

The extent of the Necrons' black technology is always beyond your expectations...

In order to ensure the success of the operation, Zhang Yi requested the Grand Sage Caul of the Mechanicus and the Magic Toad Priest Master Qua Quat to work together to find a way to minimize the impact of that space on team members when our troops enter the [Super Dimensional Maze].

Thanks to Master Kwa Kwat, this request at least got a start, but the subsequent close combat was very slow.

Ordinary members of the Mechanicus, including Kadoc, can hardly help in this regard, and most engineers in the XCOM world are completely unable to understand or even imagine this kind of black technology that can create a space and make the time in it flow independently from the outside world - even the elders' technology is not so outrageous.

but...

"Speaking of time-related things, does the Chosen One's Stasis Chamber count?"

Just when Zhang Yi and others were at a loss, Shen Lili's suggestion made everyone's eyes light up.

The alien Chosen One's medical [Static Chamber] can bring back a Chosen One who is only breathing his last breath, while the more high-tech [Static Chamber] used to store the Elders' gradually withering bodies can greatly slow down the rate of withering.

The last surviving Chosen One was captured alive after the death of the elder, and his fortress was preserved as intact as possible.

Many of the coffin-like resting chambers that held the elders’ original bodies were also salvaged during the subsequent salvage operations.

After the two masters disassembled and studied them, they confirmed that these two things did have the effect of slowing down individual time energy by inputting spiritual energy, although the effect was not good.

However, this also means that research has a new direction.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

After a long period of continuous simulation training, even the Space Marines, who are known as demigods, showed signs of fatigue.

In this regard, Zhang Yi happened to find a good thing that could entertain them.

But...

"...Isn't this too much of a bully?"

. . . . . .

An abandoned alien base

[Perfect Human], [Beast Tamer], [Fanatical Cult]

A group of lunatics who tried to use alien technology to achieve the evolution of all mankind; a group of anarchist bastards who tamed a large number of beast-like aliens by unknown means; and a cult of idiots who began inexplicable worship rituals after acquiring psychic powers.

These people are now the few terrorists who are still resisting the rule of the Empire and the Resistance, and their power is quite strong.

Although a large number of third-party forces, including these three organizations, have suffered huge blows under the huge military force of the Astra Militarum and the indigenous resistance army, there are not many such disruptive forces on the entire planet now.

However, with the vast amount of wealth and equipment accumulated by [Perfect Humanity] during the reign of the Elders, combined with the ferocious alien beasts of the [Beast Tamers] and the fearless lunatics of the [Fanatical Cult], it would be difficult to resolve the situation once these three formed an alliance.

A small number of troops will be quickly defeated and annexed by them, and it will be difficult to win with the same number of troops. When you want to gather a large number of troops to wipe them out, they rely on their mobility to escape quickly.

Although the cleanup work has been ongoing and the living space of these three forces has been reduced, the time and energy consumed is really too much.

Today, these three have occupied this previously conquered alien base and are renovating and restoring it.

A member who was carrying supplies wiped the sweat off his face and looked up at the sky.

"Damn the weather, damn the aliens, and damn the Star Army." The man cursed. "Elder too, he lost so quickly, obviously..."

As he spoke, he suddenly stopped, because he saw a fiery red object falling vertically in the air.

boom!

A two-story alien building was smashed through, and a gust of air spread out in all directions.

"Enemy attack! It's those super soldiers! Hurry..."

Boom!

The explosive bombs shot out from the smashed wall and turned the man who issued the warning into a pool of minced meat. Several huge blue shadows slowly walked out of the smoke.

"Destroy the rebels!"

. . . . . .

"Let's leave immediately! Those super soldiers called Astartes are no joke!" A man who seemed to be the leader shouted to the other two. "Escape separately, we should still have..."

"No, no, no, dear, we shouldn't run~" said another woman wearing a helmet made from a Berserker's skull. "I know they are strong, but there are only five of them this time..."

"We have already discovered in previous battles that you are not invincible. When facing multiple Berserkers, they still seem a little overwhelmed..."

"It just so happens that we have a lot of Berserkers~" The woman showed a somewhat scary smile. "If we can figure out why such powerful warriors are so powerful, and then make our soldiers the same as them, even if they are only half as strong as them..."

“Our situation will also be greatly improved.”

"Hehehehe~" Another short old man with purple spiritual energy in his eyes laughed creepily. "Sacrifice them, and we will gain even more powerful power!"

"..."

Faced with the persuasion of the two allies in front of him, the leader of [Perfect Humanity] was somewhat hesitant.

Just like what these two crazy people said, no matter how strong the other side is, there are only five of them. If they attack them at all costs, they may be able to keep them. They have also been coveting these powerful super soldiers for a long time...

but...

"I know your concerns, but we all have our trump cards, don't we?" the leader of the Tamers continued. "Omega Berserker, a type of Berserker that even the elders dare not say they can completely tame and control..."

"More powerful, faster, thicker armor..."

"These big guys, whose skin is black and green due to potions and transformation, can kill dozens of original Berserkers with one." She continued. "And we successfully tamed them, even though there were only a few of them."

"Our believers are fearless and powerful." The leader of the [Fanatical Cult] said. "Even if they have powerful weapons, they will be overwhelmed by the continuous charge of our warriors."

"And then, we will get their power!"

"Don't you have something hidden in your chest? That modified UFO with powerful firepower against the enemy and those modified soldiers, we may be able to fight them."

"What are you still hesitating about?"

Faced with further persuasion from his allies, the leader of [Perfect Humanity] began to waver.

"I..."

boom!

A huge figure smashed through the wall and flew in, then smashed through another wall.

"!"

The three leaders were all terrified at the same time and looked towards the voice.

[Omega Berserker]

The creature that was boasted to be able to fight against Space Marines had its entire head armor shattered and dented, lying in the ruins like a dead dog.

On the other side, a blue figure taller than the Berserker walked in with a fanatic with a bomb tied to his body, accompanied by the shaking of the ground.

"For...for..."

boom!

The flames of the explosion appeared in the room at close range and engulfed the figure, while blowing up a large amount of dust on the ground.

The three of them raised their hands at the same time to block the dust that was blowing in their faces.

When the dust settled again, they saw that the blue figure was still there.
