If you want to waaagh with the greenskins, you'd better be as green as them.
Or wrap yourself up in powerful scrap metal.
Hades didn't want to be smeared with green paint, so he chose the latter.
Rough lines, bold stacking, and violent painting, abandoning the Empire's usual mechanical aesthetics and turning to simple and rough superposition -
Perhaps the armor of the Lord of Mankind was also made under the guidance of such ideas. Gold is good and big is beautiful.
By the way, he also put on a bunch of cool-looking gold pendants so that his sons could each get one when they split up the family business.
… Ahem, that’s getting off topic. Hades silently retracted his blasphemous thoughts.
In short, he built himself a green leather armor with a matte black paint job; accessories that were unclear but full of power,
For example, there are iron chains and metal pipes with a bunch of green skulls strung together; the lightning claw is a must, but there is no arc generator installed. Hades can use the lightning of the star god to simulate the arc of the lightning claw on the power claw, so there is no need to install another accessory.
The helmet boots have also been processed to be thicker and taller, but it is not just for increasing the height. The added parts are nails that can protrude on their own. After being kicked, the boot spikes can cause secondary damage.
Although Hades doesn't feel it exists, you may need to heal your wounds after being kicked by him with all his strength.
At the same time, in order not to expose the fact that he is a human being - in order to more easily fool the greenskins, Hades chose a hood. After putting it on, the black domain automatically covered him, and only a scarlet eye could be seen.
The only painting on the armor is the insignia of the Death Guard, a skull with six spikes.
In order to weaken the human aura in himself, Hades wore this outfit and ate among the greenskins for a few days.
Now Hades is armed.
Pluto looked at the remaining two with sharp eyes.
Blake was very cooperative and became a smaller version of Hades, but with a helmet on.
Magnus loudly denounced this behavior, but the Primarch was very conservative in his actions and vowed not to show up on his own initiative.
Under Magnus' strong desire to survive, Hades gave up the green-skinned Magnus.
Although he always felt that Magnus with a new paint job might be closer to the greenskin in terms of soul.
After changing into a new skin, Hades asked Blake to take care of Magnus, as he was afraid that he might lose control.
The preparations allowed them to stay on this planet cleaned by Tutu for two more weeks.
During this period, Hades had been trying to contact Terra. He used the greenskins' equipment to build a signal tower. As long as the ships entered this star field, they would receive the signal.
In order to prevent the newly grown greenskins from destroying his signal tower, Hades also made a simple greenskin cleaning system to automatically pull out mushrooms.
Blake and Magnus stayed away from Hades and tried to contact Mortarion again.
According to the two psychically-positive beings, Mortarion had apparently noticed them after their first foray into the gardens, and the Pale Lord was actively contacting them—telling them not to stop.
[It seems that Mortarion has made some progress in the path of psychic power, and is only busy playing with his own numerology. ]
This was what Magnus said after receiving the second message from the Pale Lord.
This may be the manifestation of the great achievement of the Pale Lord's numerology.
Hades thought silently, but he didn't say it out loud because he also felt that numerology was outrageous.
Outrageous, but it works.
Hades sincerely hopes that Mortarion can use numerology to give Nurgle a scythe, and then he will be the most loyal supporter of numerology.
The good news is that according to Magnus, Mortarion has most likely begun contacting the Death Guard, which means that more reliable reinforcements than them are on the way.
It’s just that Hades hoped that the reinforcements would rescue him first, and then let him go to the garden with the reinforcements.
Even if the King of Figures' instructions were not to leave this star region within a year, Hades could work with the Death Guards to come up with a more reliable method.
In this barren star field, Hades, who cannot contact the Empire, is of little use except to wah aagh with the greenskins or kill the Tyranids.
No, Hades thought, he could still chop down the Tyranids, and make the greenskins wait for Mortarion.
The Octares Sector was an isolation zone that was deliberately cleared out by the Empire using an extermination order. The purpose was to allow the Tyranids to be held back by the Greenskins, resulting in mutual losses and thus buying time for the Human Empire.
According to the timeline of the original novel, the most direct consequence of this action of the empire was the creation of two big daddies by raising Gu.
The greenskins will evolve, and the Tyranids will evolve as well. During the war, both sides evolved inwardly, and in the end, the scene that the Empire expected did not appear - one side was defeated and the other side was seriously injured.
After gaining enough experience, both sides received epic enhancements and seemed ready to clear the Human Empire dungeon.
Humans, sweating profusely.
But this time, Hades decided to lead the greenskins to fight against the Tyranids.
Previous experiments have proven that his Black Domain is the kind that kills greenskins as soon as it touches them, while the Tyranids fall apart after being briefly charged.
In other words, the extragalactic creature Tyranids rely on psychic power to command, but do not rely entirely on the soul to survive.
And even after the collapse, Hades, who was observing the starry sky afterwards, also observed small reorganizations of the Tyranids afterwards.
Because Hades and his party took the initiative to avoid the Tyranids afterwards, Hades was not sure whether the Tyranids had regained psychic command or learned physical command.
The former might give Hades a little breathing space, but if it is the latter, it means that the next time Hades uses the Black Domain against Tyranid, he must ensure that all individuals covered by the Black Domain die.
There is no room for them to evolve.
The Tyranids are evolving too fast. Although they generally behave like the Greenskins, becoming stronger when facing stronger opponents and constantly evolving, there are still essential differences between the two.
Hades knew that the essence of the greenskins was created by the psychic ancients, and their racial evolution and life also showed obvious signs of dependence on psychic energy.
The Tyranids, on the other hand, are more like combat tools controlled by a super AI - the swarm consciousness.
The greenskins only think about fighting. As the intensity of the war decreases and there is no war for a long time, the population gradually becomes weaker.
The Tyranids, on the other hand, are more like those that survive, develop, and expand themselves at any means necessary, devouring biomass endlessly and preserving the genomes of all the organisms they have encountered - using the right genome in the right environment.
As far as Hades knows, in the original book, branches similar to soulless insects even evolved within the Tyranids.
Perhaps the Empire should try studying the Tyranid genome.
Hades thought about it, but unfortunately he was not proficient in biology. He might be able to make a mechanical insect that mimics the physical structure of insects, but the remaining more subtle regulation would involve more profane areas.
After thinking through the two overlords of the current Octareus star field, Hades has already thought of his own way of fighting.
He first spread the cult of death among the greenskins, and then led the greenskins to fight the Tyranids. In the original book, Octares was actually better than the Tyranids in the war. So this time, Hades took the initiative to help the greenskins evolve and defeat the Tyranids first.
Then, depending on the situation, if Mortarion still needs faith, Hades will launch a holy war among the greenskins, fight a war to eliminate heretics, and tear the greenskins apart internally; if Mortarion no longer needs faith, Hades will directly use the Black Domain to sneak attack the greenskins.
The main character has no moral principles.
Moreover, the characteristics of the greenskins also facilitate Hades' sneak attack - for a greenskin force to become powerful, a warboss must appear to lead them. If this leading greenskin cannot be defeated, then this greenskin force will remain at a lower stage until the greenskin that falls from the sky appears.
So in theory, Hades only needs to use the Black Domain to clear out the leadership and main scientific research level of a greenskin force to immediately reduce the threat of the greenskin force.
It is a fighting race that is a gift from heaven and can be controlled by humans.
As expected of an ancient saint, Hades thought silently, although he always felt a little uncomfortable when he thought of the ancient saints.
After telling Black and Magnus his ideas, Black supported Hades as usual, while Magnus shouted blasphemy. Hades then had a friendly exchange with the Primarch, and Magnus wisely and decisively put aside his prejudices.
And is willing to provide psychic special effects support for Hades's greenskin cause.
Hades silently gave Magnus a thumbs up and once again refrained from commenting, "Brother, you smell so good."
Perhaps for Hades, the only difficulty in waaaagh with the greenskins is that he needs to restrain himself.
Don't harvest the greenskin too early, even if he is a little hungry.
