Warhammer 40 A New Hope

"I suddenly want Old Bacon to transform me..."

Preparations have been underway for Zhang Yi's transformation into a Space Marine or a Custodes, but due to a lack of understanding of Zhang Yi's abilities and other reasons, progress has been slow.

He had seen the Imperial Guards going to the basement of the palace and rummaging through the cabinets more than once, but the various technological creations from the Golden Age that they had found were rarely suitable, and those that could be used had to undergo comprehensive research.

"...I don't know what size the Space Marine's XX is..."

Just when Zhang Yi was still daydreaming, news about the destruction of Cardia came from outside the door, and he was informed that he needed to prepare for the next evacuation operation.

"Even if I travel through time, I still have to be 996..."

"Oh, no, I might have to be 007 here..."

100. The Changed Future (VII)

The pause of Abaddon's main fleet due to a plan error and the timely support of Zhang Yi's portal allowed the ships trapped on the ground of Cadia and nearby space to leave the fallen Cadia more quickly and safely.

When Abaddon recovered from his anger and was about to continue to indiscriminately hunt down loyalist ships, the surviving psyker brought him another piece of news.

Among the retreating ships, the Iron Wraith, which originally belonged to the Archmagos Cawl, contained a vessel that could resurrect the Primarch of the Empire, Guilliman.

It is not clear whether this is a machine or a person, but it will definitely have a huge impact on the situation in the empire and will also have a huge impact on Abaddon's future plans.

Upon hearing the news, Abaddon immediately ordered the pursuing fleet to immediately lock onto the ship and make every effort to destroy it.

But he didn't know that Guilliman had actually awakened with the help of Zhang Yi, the man who could not be predicted, and because of his intervention, all the predictions about this matter became vague and deviated.

After waking up, Guilliman set a trap according to the original future course.

In that ship was the magic toad priest - Kwa Kwat. Under the premise that there was a problem with the prophecy, he used his powerful psychic power to distort the prophecy of a certain Chaos psychic, and used himself as bait to make Abaddon send troops to Macragge as originally planned.

There, Guilliman and his brother Vulkan would announce their return to the galaxy, while delivering a great gift to Abaddon, the self-proclaimed 'Successor of Horus'.

Boom——!

A roar came from outside the room, and the entire ship began to shake.

But this level of noise and shaking could not interrupt Master Kua Kuaat's meditation, and his [Temple Guards] and lizardmen still stood loyally around him to protect him.

squeak--!

The door of the room opened and Father Kadoc, who replaced the Great Sage Caul, walked in.

"Abaddon has taken the bait." Father Cadoc said to the huge creature in front of him. "Chaos ships have begun to attack us."

"...Just as planned..." said Master Kwa-Kwat.

"Other ships are covering us, heading to that frozen planet and leaving here through the Eldar webway." Father Kadoc continued. "You are about to meet another creation of your creator. What do you think?"

"...She/they forgot the teachings of the Ancient Saints and even allowed another evil god to descend into the world..."

"...She/they are failures in the hands of the Ancient Saint..."

. . . . . .

The living saint, Celestine, landed on the ground from the Iron Ghost, and quickly gathered the troops that landed together, surrounding the huge transport vehicle.

The advance planning and preparation allowed as many people as possible to safely reach the planet with the Eldar Webway. At the same time, the more comprehensive alliance with the Eldar presided over by Zhang Yi and Guilliman (mainly Guilliman) also allowed them to move directly to their destination.

When the Iron Wraith and many other ships exploded into a ball of fire above the icy sky, numerous Chaos Space Marine drop pods descended from the sky. A large number of Space Marines from various different rebel parties walked out of them and began to chase after Kadoc and his men.

Evelyne and her [Death Army], who had been notified in advance, and other Eldar troops who were persuaded by him, had already set up a defense line near the location of the Webway, and he personally followed a troop to support Kadoc and others.

Soon, the two sides came into contact with each other, and after an unpleasant exchange, Celestine and his troops put aside their hatred and anger for the sake of Kadoc and the Emperor, and cooperated with the Eldar in front of them.

At this time, the pursuing Chaos troops had approached and started a firefight with the intercepting troops.

The Eldar troops who responded immediately ordered Kadoc and his men to follow them to the Webway, while leaving a small number of troops behind to intercept and delay the approaching Chaos enemies.

At the same time, Evelyne, who was accompanying her, was also trying to get close to the huge transport vehicle and find out what was inside.

In the original timeline, Evelyne would not have done this, because the Eldar who were proficient in psychic power already knew what was in it.

But now, as an unknown person, Zhang Yi cannot be predicted, but the magic toad priest who has powerful psychic power and is a creation of the [Ancient God] can interfere with the prophecy to a certain extent.

So, Evelyne decided to try and see for herself what was going on.

Father Kadoc noticed her little action but did not stop her. He also wanted to see what kind of sparks would be created between two beings that were both created by the Ancient Saints.

As she got close enough, she used her psychic power, which was used for exploration and was not easy to be discovered, to invade the transport vehicle.

[A group of scaly... lizardmen? Wait, what is this powerful psychic energy...] (Evelene)

[Have you forgotten how to knock on the door due to your decadent life? 】 (Master Kwa Kwat)

As a fourth-generation magic toad priest, Master Kua Kuat's psychic power is not as strong as that of Evelyne, the Eldar God of Death, but his control and use of psychic power are comparable to hers.

More importantly, she felt the aura of their creator, the Ancient One, from this amphibian.

[Ancient Saint...?] (Evelene)

[You still remember, your Creator~ But what have you done? ] (Master Kwa Kwat)

[Your endless, unrestrained enjoyment of depravity has allowed the fourth evil god to appear in this universe] (Master Kwa Kwat)

[I don't know why the Ancients chose to keep you here and give you the Milky Way at that time] (Master Kwa Kwat)

[Given to a group of children who knew nothing at the time...] (Master Kwa Kwat)

Immediately, Evelyne's investigation was interrupted and he was directly driven out by Master Kua Kuat.

And at this moment, she saw Father Cadoch looking at her.

"you..."

"Now is not the time." Master Kadoc interrupted her question. "At least, not now..."

"For more relevant information, you have to ask the Primarchs..."

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Advance planning and communication allowed more people to successfully evacuate the destroyed Cadia at a faster speed.

Facing the Eldar's prepared blockade, the belated Chaos troops, including Abaddon himself, were unable to capture Kadoc as bait and Master Kua Kuat in the vehicle, and could only watch them walk into the Eldar Webway and disappear before their eyes.

At the same time, Abaddon's troops were successfully attracted and were about to head to Macragge as planned.

As long as this plan succeeds, it will be another opportunity to inflict heavy losses on Abaddon.

But before that, there are some issues that need to be resolved, one of which has been discussed for a long time and experienced many times...

"Ah~ my head hurts..." Zhang Yi covered his face and said, "Can't you just be quiet..."

Celestine, as a living saint, was okay. As a powerful being who injured Abaddon, she accepted Zhang Yi's existence and the cooperation and alliance with alien races relatively gently. But the others...

Just like the Inquisitor of the Heretic Order, Greyfax, who was released by Tarasim the Endless during the Cadian War and implanted with the Heart-Locking Beetle of the Necrons. This loyal to the point of insanity Inquisitor not only doubted the purity of Celestine, who had appeared in public, but also suspected that Zhang Yi was a creation of some evil god to deceive someone on the Golden Throne.

Zhang Yi, who learned of her thoughts, was a little amused and helpless - how could he possibly deceive Lao Larou? This kind of thing would only be possible if Jianqi was present in person, right?

Fortunately, due to the existence of the [Necromancer] creature in her body, she was immediately isolated and detained after joining the main force, and was personally guarded by the Imperial Guards.

But even so, with Guilliman personally appearing to appease them, there were still many people who had objections to cooperation with the Eldar, the existence of the Lizardmen, and forming an alliance with them.

Guilliman and Vulkan were informed in advance of their original future, as well as the existence of the Ancients and the Toad Priests, and they were able to accept it. Their offspring were also emotionally stable under the comfort of their Primarchs.

Although, they were still somewhat dissatisfied with Zhang Yi's actions and the emperor's "indulgence" towards their potential "new brother".

In any case, with the support of the two primarchs, the plan can proceed relatively smoothly, and the attitude towards alien races is also relatively good.

"This matter is not going to work, right?" Zhang Yi said. "It's a long and arduous journey..."

"Forget it. Anyway, my mission is accomplished. I'll leave the rest to Guilliman and the others..."

"Sleep, sleep... I'm so tired these days..."

101. The Changed Future (End)

Macragge, the homeworld of the Ultramarines

At this moment, this place is being besieged by a large number of Chaos fleets.

Because two Blackstone Fortresses were built to destroy Cadia, and the expansion of the Eye of Terror also failed, and the troops chasing after Kadoc and others had no results, Abaddon was extremely angry and furious, so he sent Chaos troops far beyond the original timeline to attack Macragge.

Even with advance preparations, the large number of local fleets caused the defenders above the orbit of the [Ultramarines] to suffer relatively heavy losses the first moment of landing.

This is true not only for combat on track, but also for combat on the ground.

The sleeping place of the Ultramarines' Primarch - Hera Fortress, this tightly guarded fortress, which is also their monastery fortress and chapter headquarters, is now being besieged by a large number of Chaos Space Marines.

The Black Legion, the Iron Warriors, the Night Lords, and some other rebel forces, under the instruction of Abaddon the Despoiler, launched a fierce attack on Macragge.

A large number of airdrop pods crashed around and even inside the Hera Fortress, and countless frenzied Chaos Space Marines engaged in fierce firefights with the Ultramarines guarding the fortress.

They had only one goal: to kill the still dormant Primarch of the Ultramarines and thwart the loyalists' plan to awaken a Primarch.

A Chaos Raptor Squad broke through the Ultramarines' defenses and rushed straight into Guilliman's sleeping place.

In an extremely grand and historic room, a tall giant covered in heavy armor was sitting still.

The [Birds of Prey] that rushed into the sanctuary were immediately attacked by the Chapter Master, Marneus Calga, and his troops. Powerful firepower immediately erupted here.

Under heavy attack, the [Birds of Prey] did not try to find cover or retreat. Instead, they ignored the incoming fire and rushed in the direction of their stationary position.

The result was that they were quickly killed by the Ultramarines' bolters and other weapons, but the last Chaos Space Marine inserted a blasphemous beacon with demonic blood into the ground before being killed.

"Warmaster! My mission is accomplished!"

The energy of the Warp began to surge around, and reality disintegration began to occur here. Then dozens of possessed warriors and Chaos elites wearing Terminator armor appeared in this most sacred place of the [Ultramarines].

"For the Lord of Change!"

"Skull for the Skull Throne! Blood for the Blood God!"

As soon as these enemies appeared, they launched a fierce attack on Calgar and others. The Chaos Space Marines who were possessed by demons and had already suffered horrific things roared and rushed towards the enemies in front of them.

"For Macragge!"

Despite such a sudden change, the Ultramarines led by Calgar fearlessly faced these Chaos enemies.

Many possessed warriors fell during the charge, but many also rushed to the front of the Extreme Warriors and used their claws or other parts that had been mutated by the demon's possession to frantically attack everyone in their sight.

An enchanted warrior with ferocious beast claws withstood the firepower of the heavy bolter in the hand of the Extreme Marine in front of him, knocked the weapon out of his hand with one claw, and then easily tore open the power armor of the Space Marine with the other hand, piercing it.

Just as he let out an excited roar, Chapter Master Calgar came in front of him and hammered his chest with his power gloves called "Extreme Double Fists", knocking him to the ground, and then punched him on the head.

The possessed warrior's head was smashed directly by Bekalja, and along with the death of the Chaos Space Marine, the demon possessed in his body was also expelled back to the Warp.

However, the current situation is not optimistic. The Chaos side, with its powerful armor and firepower, has the upper hand at this time. Even if Calgar and others fight hard, it is ultimately difficult to reverse the disadvantage.

At this moment, a small group of Chaos Space Marines have begun to slowly move towards the static position, while maintaining fire suppression on the Ultramarines guarding nearby.

Soon, the two sides came into close combat and a melee ensued. The entire room was filled with roars and slashing.

Calgar, who was wearing the [Extreme Double Fists] power gloves, knocked the Chaos Terminator in front of him off balance with one punch, and then used a torrential attack to knock the enemy to the ground.

"Death! Traitor!"

Calgar violently tore off the armor of the traitor in front of him and fired continuously at the gap, the enemy's blood splattered on his armor.

"Don't let them get near the static stand!"

Although Calgar and his troops fought hard with the traitors in front of them, there were still a few enemies who bypassed them and approached the static position.

"Guilliman, one of the Primarchs, the hope of the human empire." A highly mutated enchanted warrior said with his mouth with a strange tongue. "How perfect~"

"But your life ends here!"

"Let me help you free yourself!"

Several grenades and bolter bullets flew towards the stationary position and the human figure inside, followed by a huge explosion.

"Hahahaha!" Seeing the static position and the giant inside surrounded by the flames of the explosion, the enchanted warrior laughed wildly. "I killed the Primarch! I killed Guilliman! I..."

brush!

Along with a flash of sword light, the enchanted warrior who was still laughing wildly seemed to freeze, and then his upper body slowly separated.

thump.

The Chaos Warriors who had gone forward to destroy and place the unconscious Guilliman in a static position were split apart by the sword light and fell to the ground, while those who were fighting also stopped.

"Impossible! It's already..."

The one who appeared before everyone was the Primarch of the Ultramarines, Robert Guilliman, wearing the Armor of Destiny brought by the Great Sage Cawl and holding the Sword of the Emperor.
