Warhammer, but Emperor's Chosen

They should not have been detected by the Auspex, because in the real universe, their ships were blurry smudges, nearly invisible behind their space-time field.

Noah immediately ordered:

"Turn the fleet around, stop advancing, and avoid direct contact with the Hrud fleet!"

He was well aware of the threat posed by the Hrud, and also well aware of the strangeness and power of these fleets.

Macrocannons could not harm them, as the solid ammunition would be destroyed by the outer spacetime field before it could reach their hulls.

Light spears and nova cannons can pose a threat to them, as energy weapons and the gravity generated by explosions can penetrate the Hrud's defenses.

But the weapons of the Hrud are even more powerful. The time rays emitted from their flaming weapons will fold up the enemy ship and rapidly accelerate everyone in the hull to death - ignoring shields.

The void shield can block the volleys of macro cannons and light spears, but it cannot stop the erosion of time.

Therefore, Noah's infinite shield is meaningless in front of the Hrud.

Although the human fleet is larger in number, they will win the war, but they will also suffer huge losses.

This is not what Noah wants. What he wants is to pass the level without any damage.

and so.

He wants to use his range advantage to defeat the opponent.

"Nono!" Noah shouted.

"Nova Cannon is ready."

"Free fire!"

The explosion of the Nova Cannon is shocking at any time.

And when two Nova Cannons fire at the same time, it's a double shock.

Love and Peace and Stars each have a Nova Cannon, both of which are directly controlled by Nono.

They did not directly hit the enemy's hull and explode as before, because the Nova Cannon also used solid shells.

So sometimes being too accurate may not be a good thing.

Both nova cannons exploded near the Hrud fleet, the refined plasma warheads burning as fiercely as small stars, and the destructive gravity tore the Hrud ships apart, turning them into burning space garbage.

The Hrud's fleet was small, and after several salvos of Nova Cannon fire, there were almost no survivors.

At least not on the auspicious instrument.

Noah gave the order again:

"Slow sail and stay alert."

"Yes, my lord."

The fleet advanced slowly, using auspex to survey every area around it.

Although this is often in vain.

Because the Hrud ships can achieve a certain degree of stealth.

They slowly approached the Hrud's planet and entered the airspace where the Hrud had previously been.

The Hrud did not resist, perhaps because they had no more fleets to use for defense, or perhaps because they had already given up struggling.

but no matter.

All they had to do now was get into orbit around the planet and drop vortex torpedoes into the atmosphere.

Sudden.

A piercing alarm rang out in the bridge.

There were still no hostile signals on the tactical panel, and there was no sign that they had been targeted by any enemy.

There is only one possibility -

They were ganged up on.

Without their knowledge, these space entropy rats had unknowingly sneaked onto the battleship.

Ajetta immediately said:

"I'm going to organize the Battle Sisters!"

"No!"

Noah denied, "White, order everyone to stay away from the bridge, I'll wait for them here!"

The enhanced bodies of Space Marines would age thousands of years in the Hrud's entropy field, eventually annihilating them. The performance of the Sisters of Battle would be even worse, as their unmodified bodies would only take a hundred years to accelerate their death.

Noah knew very well that the Battle Sisters could not stop the Hrud and they would die in vain.

But Noah knew that the Hruds would definitely come to the bridge, otherwise why would they board the ship?

Could it be that the child was just jumping around for fun because he didn't know any better?

The entropic field generated by the Hrud's bizarre biology makes them virtually undetectable to any scanning equipment.

Disruptions in the temporal stream act like lenses, bending the light around them.

When they appear, they are visually invisible. When they pass, they appear to pass through space without passing through it, like a black flash in the center of a cylinder in a shimmering environment.

Visual rarity is the most reliable way to identify, of course, the aging and death of those around you.

Countless people died on their way to the bridge.

But no one knew of their deaths because they had all turned to ashes.

The officers in the bridge had already been evacuated, leaving only Noah and his team members.

Noah didn't have to wait too long, as the Hrud soon appeared outside the corridor leading to the bridge.

In Noah's vision, the Hrud were dancing shadows.

Their position, revealed by Ajetta's helmet thermal imaging, was a blur of heat caused by the movement of overclocked atoms.

They crawled quickly across the deck, using their supple yet powerful limbs to propel themselves forward, their entropy fields overlapping each other and distorting the air in front of them, making them look like they were emerging from the water.

boom!

Ajetta's bolter fired first, firing dozens of bolt shells at the Hrud.

As soon as most bullets come into contact with their entropic fields, they accelerate rapidly on the scale of time, either exploding before the ammunition decays or disintegrating into a rain of metallic atoms as time erodes them.

But some of the bombs will survive, as the Hrud's entropy field is not always effective.

The Hrud are immune to the effects of their entropic field, but they seem unable to fully control it, perhaps because the field's effects are limited.

However, there are always a few bombs that are not affected by the entropy field.

It turns out that their bodies are not very strong.

Their bodies were shattered by the bombs, their flexible limbs were blown apart, broken bones were scattered on the deck, and the entropic force field surrounding them disappeared.

They let out an agonized scream before dying, a sound reminiscent of the last seconds of a world’s life, or the final exhaustion of a last star, seemingly the death scream of time itself.

But more Hruds survived and fired at Noah with clear aim.

The Hrud have few weapons, seemingly because few things can resist the corrosion of their own entropic field.

But it turns out that this weapon, called the Hrud Flintlock, is incredibly powerful!

From their muzzles shot out pillars of fire that were hotter than stars. These plasma bombs would repeatedly adjust their phases between the physical universe and the subspace. Their trajectories were as erratic as their existence, appearing and disappearing from time to time, thus bypassing all defenses and shooting directly into the enemy's body.

In other words.

It will almost certainly hit its target.

unless--

Zero.

Noah instantly reduced the thickness of the veil to 0, and the bullets fired never appeared in the real universe again.

Almost at the moment when Noah reduced the thickness of the veil to zero, the entropy field emitted by the Hrud was instantly eliminated.

Cassia's psychic power killed them all in an instant. The bodies of the Hrud fell on the deck and quickly decomposed in a very short time, leaving only sour steam and a pool of thick water on the ground.

Without the Warp, they are nothing.

Chapter 159: What does destroying you have to do with you?

When the entropy field is eliminated.

Noah was able to see the true faces of these aliens.

Two huge black eyes grew on its broad face, and thick mucus flowed from the black pores of its flesh. The corners of its mouth were drooping at its jaw, and its skin was damp. A stinking robe covered its entire body from head to toe, and underneath was articulated armor that fit closely with its flexible limbs.

Most of the aliens died, with only one surviving. He waved his long claws in a strange way, staring at Noah with a terrifying face, and the roar in his mouth seemed to carry infinite anger and sorrow.

He seemed to be questioning Noah:

They simply live on this planet, and if no one bothers them, they won't migrate or hurt anyone.

But why? Why must they be destroyed? Why can't they just be treated as if they don't exist?

Noah took the trouble to pull the thickness of the veil to zero.

The Hrud obviously did not have the ability to quickly increase their numerical values ​​like the Four Gods, and the thickness of the zeroed veil increased at an extremely slow rate, which was not enough to allow their entropy field to expand outward.

"Nono, do you want to do research?" Noah turned around and asked.

Once a Hrud dies, they decompose quickly, which is why this alien is still alive.

Nuonuo wrinkled her nose in disgust:

"No, they're too ugly."

After getting a negative answer, Noah pulled out his plasma gun and blasted the alien's head to pieces.

There is speculation in the Empire that the Hrud are actually some kind of subhuman, as they have a skull similar to that of a human, but made of a semi-silicate resin-like substance. In addition, their limbs also have a bone structure similar to that of a human spine.

Therefore, they may also be one of the experimental products of some crazy scientists in the dark technology era.

If this conjecture is true.

That's a shame, their 'evolution' is clearly wrong.

Although the entropy field gave them powerful strength, they were too stupid to go through the trouble of running over to try to assassinate Noah, and after failing, they even tried to question him.

You know, in ancient Terra, even children understand this:

What does destroying you have to do with you?

And more importantly, they were too ugly and did not meet Noah's aesthetic standards.

Let’s just look at the horse girl in the distance, my family!

Noah said:

"White, get everyone else back to their posts and the mission continues."

This is just a small incident.

Except for the crew of the Stars, the others, including the Weepers, didn't even know that they were boarded by the Hrud. Because the Stars had not shown any abnormality from beginning to end, and had been moving unwaveringly towards the Hrud planet.

finally.

The fleet slowly entered the planet's orbit and dropped several whirlwind torpedoes.

Flames and shock waves spread in a circular shape across the surface of the planet. The entire planet burned and died amidst a background of total silence.

It's simple, but also very efficient.

"Sir, we have received an astropathic signal."

A voice came from Huron's sound array channel, "Lord Noah has successfully destroyed the Hrud colony planet, and they are continuing to advance deeper into the vortex."
