Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

"Forgive me." Vic murmured, reaching out his hand and tapping the bottom of the spherical STC rhythmically 44 times.

He has never stopped researching this STC. During his research, he gradually discovered that this thing has a backdoor. It cannot be destroyed by ordinary means, but it can be destroyed by using the backdoor.

After the tapping is completed, the STC projects a holographic menu with two options displayed on it.

Emergency destruction.

Emergency function.

One of Vic's mechanical arms extended from his back to the top of his head and rubbed his hooded head. He felt puzzled.

After thinking for half a second, Vic tried to click on the emergency mode.

There is only one reminder left on the holographic menu: Speak.

Vic first prayed a binary prayer before saying the request, "I need to deal with the incoming enemy."

The STC template immediately projects a blue beam to scan the surrounding environment.

The metal that makes up the walls is decreasing rapidly, and something is being printed in the center of the channel.

The mechanical arms and various weapons on Vic's body were also scanned by the beam and then disappeared. These things were all used to print things quickly.

Finally, an Iron Man was built.

When Vic saw this iron man, he suddenly remembered, wasn't this the same iron man he was ordered to blow up with a melta bomb when he was being tested in Tyrone's Nest that day?

It's just that the weapons are different. One hand is an energy weapon and the other is a blade.

The color scheme is also different, and the appearance is slightly different. It looks like an enhanced and improved version.

While Vic was thinking, the six Chaos Space Marines from the Oathbreakers warband had already arrived in front of him. They also saw the Iron Man in the center of the passage, thinking it was a Castellan robot, but it didn't look like it based on its appearance... In the end They didn't think much and immediately launched an attack.

Iron Man moved forward slowly and awkwardly, and the weapons integrated in his hands fired beams.

The six Space Marines used various postures to avoid the beam and approached Iron Man. The giant ax in their hands struck Iron Man's metal shell, but only left a scratch.

The infantry type Iron Man is very clumsy, but the energy beam it emits can melt a passage through the metal wall, and its defense is not weak, and its size is large. If it blocks the center of the passage, no one can get through. The Chaos Space Marines had to fight with it.

Amid the angry roars and complaints of the Chaos Space Marines, the Iron Man was attacked again and again, leaving more and more slash marks on its shell.

Vic thinks this battle will last forever, but in fact Iron Man is analyzing and learning the enemy's attack patterns.

After dozens of slashes, Iron Man stopped firing. It turned its body and stretched its right hand towards the path of the enemy in front of it, causing an enemy's chest to hit the blade, and then split the unlucky guy in two.

The ensuing battle suddenly became much faster.

The Iron Man is indeed cumbersome and slow, at least that's the case for the Iron Man that hasn't been iterated yet. But every time it attacks, it seems as if it can predict the future. The blade or energy beam can always appear in advance on the enemy's trajectory.

After quickly killing four more execution masters, only the last Chaos Space Marine with a great ax was left.

This Space Marine's power armor is thicker than the others, unlike the Execution Masters who have bare thick arms.

Iron Man tried to kill him by analyzing his movement trajectory but failed. No matter how narrow the passage was, this guy could always use amazing skills to dodge attacks and chop with his backhand.

After going through this cycle several times, Iron Man realized that he could not win through analysis and learning, but there was another battle plan with a success rate of more than 80%.

"Go to hell!"

Vic saw the Chaos Space Marine roaring and swinging his giant ax at the deepest slash mark on Iron Man's shell, while Iron Man took two steps back, and the chest part of the shell lifted up to reveal the fusion reactor inside.

The reactor released a torrent of energy straight ahead, melting the great ax and the Space Marine holding the weapon into ashes.

The battle is over. Iron Man's chest shell closed and he turned toward Vic.

"Praise the God of All Machines, praise Ohm Messiah, praise the original power..." Vic praised everything in surprise. At the same time, the STC template in his hand released a beam of light, transforming the iron man into material, and then into Vic. of robotic arms and various weapons.

As for the metal materials obtained from the wall, they were printed into a cube and fell in front of Vic.

Vic threw himself on the cube, thinking of ways to take the thing away.

This is just a cube and has no other function, but in Vic's view it is a holy relic, and can later be named the Holy Cube. Its mere existence has great significance.

"Deployment over. For the Ohm Messiah, for the God of All Machines."

Vic suddenly received an unencrypted communication. This was an open message sent to everyone in the war zone rather than a secret order given to a marshal or officer alone. Even the most rudimentary communication device could broadcast this sound.

The door to the secret room opened immediately, and Sewyn, holding four power swords and four ancient technology pistols, rushed out and prepared for a fight to the death, but he did not see the enemy, only Vic who was in a daze facing a metal cube.

Vic quickly encrypted the video he had just recorded and sent it to his friend. Sevin received it and watched it quickly before falling into deep thought.

"We don't have time to think now. You have to find a way to drive the invaders out, at least drive the invaders out of the fortress." Vic said.

"I need you to remind me." Sevin turned around and returned to the secret room, closed his eyes and began to make more detailed arrangements.

His consciousness shuttles through the bodies of each of his subordinates, helping those soldiers who are fighting the remaining enemies to make the best choices in battle.

…

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

Severn and Vic did not die in the previous raid, and they also paid a lot of money to eliminate other enemies who arrived in the airdrop pods. The only drawback was that the Dreadclaw airdrop pods took off back to the battleship, but this is also a good thing. , after all, such blasphemous creations must be eradicated with all your strength.

The invasion had been underway for a full month.

Sewyn still clearly remembers that seven hundred solar hours ago, the enemy's attack on the Forge World changed from a small-scale assault and beheading battle to a large-scale invasion. More and more transport ships arrived in the orbit of the Forge World, and then transported them with blasphemous creations. Troops go to the surface to fight.

The war intensified.

On this night, Sevin was still concentrating on commanding operations with his eyes closed as usual, and "possessing" the frontline troops to control the operations of his men.

Vic was reciting binary prayers and anointing holy oil around the metal cube, and then walked in circles with incense.

The ceremony was not pleasant.

From time to time, the roar of the Titan's whistle reached the secret room, as well as the sound of general cannon firing, the sound of macro cannons and light spears bombing the ground, and the sound of gunfire and artillery when the ground troops were fighting never stopped.

"What's going on now?" Vic asked his old friend after the ceremony.

Sevin opened his eyes and told the truth helplessly: "I controlled a data craftsman to use observation equipment to check the orbit, and saw more and more enemy warships converging towards the orbit. The hulls of those latecomers had red markings on their hulls, which clearly indicated the surrounding galaxies. The void battle was not going smoothly, and the enemy was able to free up more warships for orbital bombardment."

Vic didn't need Sewing to say another word to realize that something was wrong.

It is not that the Forge World does not have a predetermined defense plan. In the defense plan, it is indeed considered that the traitors wandering in the Eye of Terror may join forces to attack.

But who would have thought that the Red Pirates would intervene. They are like angels on the enemy's side, joining the war without even talking about their interests. Vic didn't understand what they were thinking. Even if they took over the Forge World, how much profit could they get from the various traitor groups? does it worth?

In short, the red pirate fleet unexpectedly intervened in the war, turning the planned plan into a joke.

"How many satellites and planets are there in our galaxy?"

"What did you say."

Vic was still communicating with Sewyn without any emotion, but he was very surprised.

After Sewing asked a misleading question, he opened his eyes, looked at Vic, and shared what he saw directly.

Vic's electronic one-eye saw the scene outside the secret room.

On a battlefield where infantrymen on both sides were dying in droves, a soldier happened to glance at the sky as he charged.

Two black moons and a smaller black planet loomed in the forge world's dim sky.

After reading it, Vic said calmly: "Ohm Messiah is with us."
