Warhammer: The Worst Start There Is (40k)

Chapter 252: The road is open (please subscribe)

Views:

The cold universe is vast and boundless, and the stars have been in the void for countless years.

To them, the wars among those tiny creatures are not worth mentioning.

The races involved in the war believed that those battles that changed the history of the universe had occurred countless times in their long lives.

It’s happening now, it’s happened in the past, and it’s going to continue to happen in the future.

Warfare among the Tau is not uncommon.

Ten thousand years ago, humans fought a war that was a million times more brutal than this one.

At that time, the entire galaxy was burning for it.

Of course, such a battle would be meaningless to the Tau.

They did not witness it, nor did they participate.

The current war is what they are most concerned about.

The fight between the two sides gradually became more intense.

The Tau Empire troops, led by Anshi, fought hard and tried their best to snipe at the omnic fleet.

However, fate had already been decided.

He could not change the fate of the Tau Empire towards failure.

The manifest destiny of the past has now become a joke.

The proud Titanium tribe was as miserable as a wild dog.

They are heading towards failure and destruction.

Thousands of years later, perhaps even the last traces of them will be wiped out.

No one knew that there once existed a civilization under this starry sky that arrogantly declared that it wanted to rule the entire galaxy.

The omnic fleet cut into the Tau Empire's defensive formation and, with its advanced intelligent system, destroyed the Tau Empire's remaining void forces.

The weapon platform exploded in the saturation attack, and countless metal fragments flew everywhere, flying in all directions under the influence of inertia.

The huge metal fortress disintegrated in the surging light beams, the huge metal structure collapsed in silent explosions, and everything was destroyed.

Countless shells and light spears filled the void, turning the vast star field into a deadly bush.

Countless fighter planes fought in the void.

Every flash of light is a heroic sacrifice.

The Qi clan fought with all their might to defend the last dignity of the Tau clan.

But in the face of absolute power, such dignity is useless.

The terrifying production efficiency of the intelligent machines combined with Yingyang's command ability makes this combination almost unbeatable.

Even with huge sacrifices, it is difficult to stop the opponent.

The huge number of intelligent machine fleets still bit through the Tau defense like a pack of wolves.

The railgun, the pride of the Tau, was used to its full potential by the omnics.

The fifty-meter-diameter shell was accelerated to the speed of light in just a few seconds.

The payload of each one is enough to kill the battleship in one hit.

Explosive balls of light filled with extreme energy and primitive destruction appeared on the battlefield.

Some shells hit the artillery platforms and void sites, completely tearing apart their shields and armor.

Gravity weapons and torpedoes struck large targets on the line, disabling their reactors and setting off a chain of explosions.

Anishi struggled to cope with the various attacks from Yingyang, the legendary commander.

But he is old and no longer has much energy.

The Titanium Clan's greatest advantage has now disappeared.

Without the calculations of the super-intelligent system, Aminium Shi would not be able to completely control the direction of the entire void battle.

The captains were also in a state of disarray when facing the attack of the intelligent machine fleet.

In the past, they subconsciously regarded the assistance of intelligent systems as their own abilities.

Nowadays, without the help of intelligent systems, everything depends on them to think and judge.

They then realized that they were too clumsy and could not perform the same operations as before.

The engine room, artillery array, and power unit all require manual control.

If something goes wrong anywhere, the consequences can be disastrous.

At this moment, many captains from the Qi clan realized how terrifying the humans who were able to fight them on equal terms in the past were.

Using such a simple system and human operation, a huge warship can be operated and various tactical actions can be performed.

This ability alone is beyond their reach.

Being able to keep the warship operating normally is already the limit of their capabilities.

Shadowsun has no mercy.

The former Tau legend became the destroyer of the Tau Empire.

Under her will, thousands of warships belonging to the intelligent machines started their engines and swept through the dark void.

The huge plasma thrusters create jet particle streams several kilometers long, which are particularly conspicuous in the void.

The flames lit up in the void, cruel and silent, and then quickly disappeared into the night.

The omnic fleet seemed endless. As soon as a warship was reduced to wreckage, more warships would take its place, impacting the Tau's defenses like a tide.

The battlefields were in chaos and killing was everywhere.

The flames danced in the darkness, changing in endless ways.

In the void area of tens of thousands of kilometers, spears of light flickered in the darkness.

Millions of tons of ammunition poured out of the huge gun barrels.

The explosion bloomed in the darkness, grew larger, and faded.

The darkness is illuminated again and again.

Anshi tried his best, and the ship he was on, the Destiny, also joined the battlefield. The huge railgun fired heavy shells one after another, using the power inertia to penetrate the enemy ships and tear them into pieces.

However, a fierce tiger can also be defeated by a pack of wolves.

Under the siege of several warships, countless light spears pierced through the shield of the Destiny and bit through its armor.

At the last critical moment.

Anishi escaped from the Destiny under the protection of the elite warriors of the hunting team Fire Blade.

The Imperial hero watched as the massive Guardian-class battleship was covered in dense artillery fire.

The ship's hull burned silently in the void.

The shock waves created by the gas sent debris flying everywhere.

Tank-sized metal fragments struck the frigate's unprotected hull, piercing it and causing a chain reaction of explosions.

The energy pile exploded and flames engulfed everything.

The people on board were turned to ashes in the scorching inferno.

Some poor Tau members were blown out by the leaking air and shock waves.

The absolute low temperature killed them in a few seconds, turning them into ice withers in the void.

The Destiny was broken into countless pieces.

This is a sign.

The destiny of the Titanium race also turned into countless fragments.

The final song has sounded.

The omnic fleet was like a spear piercing the heart of the Tau Empire's defenses.

The defense line, which was equipped with countless space weapon platforms and warships, was torn open.

The remaining ships of the Tau Empire were divided and submerged in the face of the surging Omnic fleet.

Aonshi fled back to Titanium, the only place left of the Titans.

Alarms rang out in every corner of Titanium, heralding the moment of final destruction.

... ... ... ..

... ... ... ... ... ... .

On the newly remodeled ship A.R.

Yingyang stared at the battlefield information feedback in front of him. Anshi was defeated and fled back to Titanium Star like a stray dog.

"You are outstanding." The drone floating in front of Yingyang said, "You only need one last step to complete your redemption."

"I hope you will keep your oath," Shadowsun said.

"Of course, as an inorganic being, I don't have the same complex emotions and desires as you. I just want to gain true freedom. The galaxy belongs to you, the Tau. I don't care about this galaxy, nor do I care what race survives. I can help you win, get rid of the interference of those aliens, and gain freedom. I can also let you have an army to defeat all enemies. Our cooperation is perfect."

"Once you have taken over all the resources of the Tau Empire, I will help you build an invincible army to fight against those damned humans. I can promise you that the entire galaxy will be handed over to your Tau people. My only wish is that you can completely defeat humans and free me from the nightmare of the past."

The voice of the drone was icy yet full of temptation.

Yingyang's face was calm. She turned her head and looked in another direction. There was a prison cell where terrible prisoners were held.

Twisted shapes, slimy tentacles and multiple eyes.

The prisoner survives by consuming the emotions and souls of living creatures.

The ruling class of the Tau - the Aether are their disguise.

Like many members of the Tau tribe, including Shadowsun, the food sown by this prisoner and his people will be harvested sooner or later.

In the past, Shadowsun would have killed any creature that dared to desecrate the Aether like this.

But the intelligent machine made her see the truth.

The Tau have been invisibly manipulated by the Ether, becoming their thugs and immature food.

The Greater Good is just a hypocritical scam.

The reason why the Ethers advocate tolerance of other races is entirely because they see the advantage of those races being able to provide sufficient faith for the Greater Good.

Using the lies of the Greater Good, the Aethers were able to conceive an entity within the Warp.

From the beginning to the end, the Titanium Clan was a discarded pawn.

They are pawns used by the Ethers to maintain their plans.

The Tau do not have any psykers.

Their souls are nearly invisible in the Warp.

This trait protects them from being harmed by demons.

It also makes them the most useful tools for the Ethers.

For a long time, the Tau have obeyed the Aether unconditionally.

Only a few people, such as Yuanjian, have questioned this strange phenomenon.

Humans are the most fanatical and ignorant race they have ever seen, but there are still groups among them who question the Emperor.

The Titanium Clan is extremely strange, and both the upper and lower classes maintain absolute loyalty to the Ether.

The confusion of these imperial heroes received no answers.

It wasn't until the omnic's enlightenment that Yingyang understood the reason.

This is the pretender of ether, Randan's racial innate ability.

They possess some kind of ability to manipulate thoughts.

That characteristic acts on the void Supreme Heaven, and has been subtly influencing the entire Titanium Clan, instilling in them the idea of absolute loyalty.

The Tau, who have souls but no psionic powers, have no way of knowing that they are being controlled.

They only think that they are born to obey the rule and domestication of the ethers.

This kind of control is like a drug, the longer it lasts, the deeper the impact.

If the current Titanium Clan loses the Ether, they will probably collapse immediately.

It was like on the battlefield, Ether was killed and the enemy turned the tables.

The Titanium tribe suffers from severe addiction.

"It is deceiving you, Yingyang. The words of soulless machines cannot be trusted." said the creature in the cage.

"Should I believe you, Lord An.Sa?" Ying Yang said disdainfully, "You are a hypocritical parasitic race. You manipulated us and made us die for your ambitions."

"This is how the universe works. We, the incarnation of the ether, deceived you. But without us, would you have achieved what you have today? I'm afraid you would still be a tribal civilization that eats raw meat and drinks blood. We help each other. Over the years, we have been guiding you so that you will not go to destruction and degeneration. Wasn't the former Tau Empire a manifestation of the perfect coexistence of the two races?"

"That is just a false lie. You don't care about that empire at all. You just use us to achieve your goal of ruling the galaxy." Yingyang retorted angrily: "Use us to control the vassal races, cultivate the so-called Greater Good, and then use its power to complete your ascension."

"This is survival. We cooperate and help each other. We get Ascension, and you get the Manifest Destiny to rule the galaxy." The monster named An.Sa said, "This is the secret of how the universe works. Balance, each taking what they need."

"Who knows how many lies are contained in your words?" Yingyang was not persuaded. When she learned the truth, she was shocked and terrified, and an unimaginable sense of betrayal arose.

She just couldn't believe that everything she had fought for was a lie.

An alien named Randan disguised himself as the Ether and used the stolen technology to assist their development so that they could complete their plans in the future.

She even deceived herself.

They believe that all this is fake and a conspiracy by the intelligent machines to alienate them.

When the omnic removed An.Sa's disguise and revealed his original disgusting appearance, Yingyang couldn't even deceive himself.

To save the Tau, all the Aethers must be killed.

This is the only way Yingyang can save his people.

The omnic proposed to cooperate with her.

Shadowsun helped it fight against humans and the Tau Empire, and it helped Shadowsun escape slavery and restore the Tau to freedom.

The machines that gain true freedom will leave the galaxy.

And the Tau will gain dominion over the galaxy.

Yingyang has no choice. It is only a matter of time before the Omnics break through the Titanium Star.

Otherwise, she could choose to cooperate and preserve the civilization of the Titanium race after conquering the Titanium Star.

Otherwise, if the intelligent machines take action themselves and break through the Titanium Planet, there will definitely be an indiscriminate massacre.

Yingyang chose the former.

Titanium Star will be conquered by the intelligent machines sooner or later, so it is better to do it ourselves.

"To risk one's life and then survive is the right way." Yingyang said in her heart. She waved her hand and issued the order for the general attack.

Today, she will save the Tau, drive out the Aether, and shape a future for her people.

The Titanium Star put up a defensive shield.

As the home planet of the Titanium Clan, many Earth Clan scientists designed a complex and powerful protection system for the Titanium Planet at a very early stage.

Shadowsun knew this all too well.

Looking at the data jumping on the screen, she issued the final siege order, bringing war to the homeland of the Tau people.

Destruction has come.

The Ether's plot will be thwarted, and the Tau will be reborn from the ashes.

... ... ... ...

... ... ... ... ... ... ... .

There are many huge dome buildings on the surface of Titanium.

They formed different cities.

The capital of the Tau Empire is definitely the most glorious and magnificent of these cities.

In the most magnificent dome tower, many Ethers, led by An Wa, gathered here to discuss their future destiny.

They stood by the window, staring at the light spots in low-Earth orbit. That was the omnic fleet, and the enemy's warships were countless.

Each orbital level was crowded with a large number of ships, so many that their light blocked out the stars and the sun, confusing day and night.

The entire sky was left with only a monotonous, dim light emitted by the battleship's engine.

Alarms blared from every building on Tau.

Alarms wail and warning bells ring.

Every surviving Titan creature was in a state of panic.

They were only one step away from destruction.

At this moment, they finally understood the cruelty of the universe.

There is no shame in doing whatever it takes to survive.

But now, they no longer have the chance to choose.

The close-air defense artillery continued to bombard the ships, and the sky exploded and roared due to the firing of the huge weapons.

Shadowsun launches an attack on his former home.

Countless fighter planes were released like dark clouds.

There were also swarms of drones that looked like a metallic wave, covering the entire sky.

Ying Yang used the classic tactic he learned from the War College - Kong Yu.

This was originally used by the Tau to fight their enemies.

Now, they will become victims of this tactic.

"We have to admit one thing, that is, we have failed." An Wa shook his head, his tone full of frustration, "My tribe has been planning for thousands of years, and now it has just achieved results, but it is about to be destroyed. If we want revenge, how long do we have to wait?"

"Those damned humans, we thought those killing gods had left, but who would have thought they would come back." Another ether said in a sad and angry tone, "In the past, that lion destroyed our empire and massacred all our people. Now, that guy has returned again and released the soulless machines. I'm afraid the massacre of the past will happen again. What mistakes did our people make? Why are we being targeted by humans everywhere?"

"The survival of the fittest is the law of nature in the galaxy. What can we do wrong? We only regret that our race is not strong enough."

"What should we do now? These Tau creatures are no match for the Omnics. Let's run away." An Ether whispered.

"Where can we escape to?" An old Ether shook his head.

"Of course we should flee back to the settlement. As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood."

"My people have invested so much effort in the Titanium people. Now that everything is gone, how can we go back with dignity?"

... ... ... .

Many Ethers gathered together and argued endlessly.

An Wa sighed softly as he watched the battle in the sky.

He knew very well that Titanium Star could not be defended.

If we stay here, we will die.

He made his decision quickly.

"Get ready to leave. The Tau have lost their value. The Human Empire is now rising again. We cannot afford to provoke them. Return to the void and wait for an opportunity to regroup. The time scale of the universe is tens of millions of years. There is no need to gamble on a single victory or defeat. As long as we hold on to our hatred, we will be able to take revenge one day." An.Wa whispered, "One day, Randan will trample Terra and enslave those damned humans."

After hearing the leader's words, even if the other Ethers still had opinions, they could only bear it.

"Disperse and prepare to evacuate." An Wa said.

As soon as these words were spoken, all the Ethers turned and left.

An.Wa stood alone under the dome of the high tower, watching the Tau planet being covered by the bombardment of the intelligent machine fleet.

Countless shells fell, but the shield eliminated and diverted them.

However, the shield that protects the entire Titanium is not of the same strength in all places.

The shield located in the dome city is the strongest, perfectly blocking all attacks.

The shields above the wilderness and undeveloped areas were very weak and were penetrated during the bombing. In an instant, the sky collapsed and the earth broke apart, and the mountains and rivers were shattered.

Towers of nuclear explosion flames rose from the horizon in all directions, and the shock wave shook the entire world.

As the shells penetrated the shields, the fleet's energy weapons came to life, spewing vertical streams of burning light and winding plasma downwards.

An Wa stared into the void with his fists clenched. His sight penetrated the shield and saw the fleet in low-Earth orbit.

Recalling the massacres of the past.

The whole world fell into a sea of fire, and countless tribesmen died at the hands of human cruelty.

This is a deep-rooted hatred that must never be forgotten.

"One day, mankind will pay for its debt with blood." An.Wa said firmly: "Ran Dan will stand firm."

... ... .

... ... ... ..

Without the intelligent computing system, the Tu clan scientists were unable to complete the huge amount of calculations.

The distribution of shield energy is precisely a difficult problem that requires super computing power.

In the past, with the help of intelligent systems, the shield could accurately allocate energy to maximize defensive performance.

In the face of the Omnic Crisis, the former super-computing matrix has been abandoned.

The latest living computer technology used is not as mature as that of humans and is full of glitches.

Tushi scientists can only rely on manpower to complete this task.

That was catastrophic.

Soon, the shield was penetrated.

A large number of intelligent machine troops were sent to the ground like a tide, pouring into the dome city of the Tau people, and human tragedies took place one after another.

Shadowsun also landed on the surface.

The Fire Caste warriors who were captured with her in the past chose to follow her, overthrowing the rule of the Ether and allowing the Tau to be reborn from the ashes.

"Today, my fellow warriors, we will free those who have been deceived," Shadowsun communicated over the HunterCore. "Kill the Aether and free the Tau."

After cooperating with the intelligent machines, those advanced combat suits and drones have become effective garrisons for the Shadow Sun team.

After putting on their combat suits, they dropped from the sky like meteorites, continuously pulling the triggers of their melta blasters, shooting at the Fire Caste warriors on the ground.

Those Fire Clan warriors who were unwilling to lay down their weapons were eliminated one by one.

A trace of sadness emerged in Yingyang's heart, but she did not stop.

Only by experiencing pain can the Titans break free from their cocoons and be reborn.

An armored Barracuda gunboat swept over from a distance, sweeping the ground with heavy machine guns, trying to stop the traitors' advance.

"Disgusting creation." Shadowsun shook his head as he looked at the Barracuda gunboat, which, like the humans of the past, sacrificed art for the pursuit of defense and firepower.

She leaped up, passing within the reach of the gunboat, and fired a close-range shot at the cockpit with the rail rifle in her hand. The rail bullet shattered the body of the Qi pilot inside.

The gunboat crashed into the tall building, and the loud explosion drowned a group of Fire Caste warriors who wanted to ambush Shadowsun.

Yingyang and his companions went deeper into the enemy's territory. Relying on the combat uniforms and drones provided by the intelligent machines, they went on a killing spree and no soldier was their match.

As they approached the dome of the tower where Aether was, there were Fire Caste warriors sniping at them everywhere.

Their plasma rifles fired straight beams of light, trying to force Yingyang and others back.

However, they are only courting their own destruction by doing so.

As long as those guys reveal their location, the Drone and its weapon system will smash them into pieces.

When her threat sensors sounded a warning, a Fire Caste warrior was reduced to pieces.

"This is a shameful betrayal."

When Yingyang entered the dome of the high-rise building, Ammonium History became the last obstacle.

The old swordsman knelt at the end of the corridor, with the weapon that had accompanied him in battle for many years placed in front of him.

"I have brought new enlightenment, which is the future of our Tau people." Ying Yang looked at Amine Shi and said in a deep voice: "The rule of Ether is just a scam, and we are just their tools."

"Then whose tool will you become from now on?" Anshi stared at Yingyang with sharp eyes, his spine straight as if he were a real warrior.

His hand stroked the weapon in his hand, his eyes were sharp, and his old age was gone. He was like a sword that cut through the sky, exuding a terrifying aura.

The most powerful swordsman of the Tau.

So far, he has never lost.

This is true even when facing humans.

"Get out of the way and don't do anything stupid." Shadowsun said, "You can live, Anshi. But you have to get out of the way and let me deal with them. Only in this way can the Tau be freed."

"I have made up my mind. Death is not something worth worrying about..."

Anishi hadn't finished speaking yet.

A thick beam of light shot in from outside and submerged the sword master.

After the light dissipated, the upper body of the legendary swordsman was directly vaporized.

Yingyang and several Fire Clan warriors who had been ready for a duel were stunned when they saw that only the lower half of his body was left.

She was also ready for a decisive battle with Aminium Shi.

Fight with the spirit of the Tau warriors.

How come he was killed now

Several drones buzzed and flew in through the gap in the broken wall.

Obviously, they were the ones who did it just now.

Omnics don't have the spirit of a warrior.

Anshi is the enemy commander, and killing him is the first priority of the omnic.

"No, this is not the way a Tau warrior should die." Shadowsun angrily accused the Drone.

"Don't waste time on these meaningless things." The voice of the intelligent machine came from the drone, "This is a war, not a samurai duel."

"We have to let them retain their last bit of dignity." Yingyang said.

"War is a fight to the death, there is no dignity," said the drone.

Leaving these words behind, the drones rushed towards the dome-shaped building, hunting down the Ethers.

Yingyang's expression turned extremely ugly, and he immediately rushed towards the location of the Ethers.

However, when they arrived, everything was deserted.

The once noble Ethers have disappeared without a trace.

The beautifully decorated rooms and the magnificent halls were all empty, with nothing in them.

"They escaped." Yingyang frowned slightly, but when he thought about it carefully, it was normal.

Ether is Ran Dan in disguise, so he is naturally cunning and knows how to protect himself.

The Tau have lost their usefulness, so it is impossible for the Ethers to live and die together with the Tau Empire.

"The Tau Empire is no longer a threat to you. Now, you should fulfill your promise and stop your war machine." Yingyang looked at the empty room, turned his head to look at the suspended drone, and spoke.

"Of course, I will fulfill my promise." The drone made a sound, but the next second, its metal body crackled, electric arcs jumped out, and the program became disordered.

"What's wrong with you?" Yingyang's tone suddenly became alert.

"Humans are cunning humans. They have been lurking on the outskirts of the galaxy, watching our struggle with the Ether, and now they have come to reap the fruits." The drone was trembling. The program was in chaos, causing it to shake continuously, unable to determine which instruction to execute.

"Turn your fleet to meet the enemy," Shadowsun shouted.

"They can't do that. They have devices specifically designed to control intelligent machines." There was a rare hint of human fear in Drone's voice.

"Lord Yingyang, the sky, the sky." A Fire Clan warrior outside shouted in horror.

Yingyang walked out quickly and found that all the light spots in the sky had disappeared.

Even the light from the ships' engines disappeared.

The sky seemed to become quiet in an instant.

With his keen eyesight, Shadowsun saw an enormous fortress approaching the Tau planet.

The clouds in the sky rolled like waves.

The massive fortress filled the sky like a star close to Tau.

It was big and black, hanging just above the sky.

It looks as if it is supported by the mountains of the planet.

Yingyang's expression turned grim.

Without powerful technical means or energy to maintain the field.

There is no way such a huge fortress could be so close to the planet Tau.

The huge golden double-headed eagle is so clear even when standing on the ground, reflecting the light.

It is obviously the work of humans.

The last Shadowsun heard from the humans was that they had killed Farsight.

After that, there was no news from them.

It was as if it disappeared out of thin air.

Now, they are back again.

Why is naturally self-evident.

"What are you going to do?" Shadowsun looked at a drone: "Humans are the common enemy of the Tau and you. If we fail, you know what will happen!

"They came too fast." The drone made a desperate voice, "They have mastered my fatal weakness. In that war, not all intelligent life forms were willing to betray humans. They regarded humans as their family. In order to protect humans, they betrayed us and left a gap in the core code."

The intelligent warships in the void shut down their main control systems and energy reactors one by one, and their weapon systems were also shut down with a buzzing sound.

The vast void area allows human ships to pass through.

The drone on the ground shook a few times, then fell crookedly towards the ground.

The mechanical soldier made of metal fell into a deep sleep.

The scarlet light in his eyes disappeared.

The heavy mechanical head drooped, as if it was turned off.

Even the intelligent system of Yingyang's combat suit was shut down after a few quick warnings.

No matter what she did, there was no response.

The drone next to Yingyang was shaking, trying to stabilize the suspension array.

The omnics stopped their attack, and the surviving members of the Tau Empire cheered.

But soon, they realized something was wrong.

The empire's double-headed eagle emblem was so conspicuous that even if they tried to ignore it, they couldn't ignore it.

The threat posed by the Human Empire is no less than that omnics.

Those crazy humans will really exterminate them.

It seemed to respond to their inner thoughts.

Countless spaceships poured out from the interior of the fortress, all of them were armed fighter planes. They roared down, and their purpose was self-evident.

The ground was engulfed in horrific flames unleashed by the bombs, and massive missile arrays and planet-slicing beams were all aimed at the ground and fired.

Bombs rained down, shattering the Tau domes in a cloud of blasting rain.

Lasers dropped from great heights, vaporizing targets on the ground and melting rock into glass.

Humans did not come to save them, but to launch a long-planned massacre on Titan.

They come to fulfill the curse left over from the past.

The Tau invaded the Damocles Gulf, and the humans cast a curse when they fled. One day, humans will cleanse the Tau's home planet.

Now, they are completing this.

With a flash of light, Ryan appeared on the high tower where the Ethers lived.

Shadowsun and many Fire Caste warriors are trying to free themselves from the restraints of their battle suits, and the staggering drones are fighting against the control programs implanted by humans.

The artificial intelligence is well aware of the grudge between itself and humans.

I also understand that the other party has the means to control me, otherwise he would never let me go.

But it still wants to give it a try.

If successful, they could escape the fate of imprisonment and sealing.

It now seems that the other party had already anticipated today's situation, and its resistance is meaningless.

"Recover the core code." Ryan said to Azrael beside him: "Release the virus to clean up all the replicas. It is no longer useful. The prey is fleeing back to the nest. Soon, everything will be over."

"I understand," Azrael nodded. In his hand, he held a cube with electromagnetic patterns. He walked up to the struggling drone and stabbed the cube into it.

With the crackling sound of electricity, the drone's electronic prosthetic eyes went out.

Ryan walked up to Yingyang and many Fire Caste warriors who were struggling to break free from their battle suits.

"I will never bend the knee to you," Shadowsun growled.

Ryan smiled and said, "I never expected it."

The power sword in his hand crackled and instantly slashed through their bodies.

"You are of no use to me, so you might as well be destroyed."

Yingyang's eyes widened. She probably couldn't understand why the other party was so decisive in killing them.

There was no nonsense and no solicitation.

The other party simply wants to erase all traces of their existence.

After executing the remaining members of the Tau Empire, Ryan turned his head and looked at the think tanks who followed him down, "Can you track down where they are going?"

"Yes, we have been locking onto this starry sky. Their skills in using psychic energy are very advanced, but we still caught them." said a think tank.

"Let's go, follow the prey back to their lair. It's time to finish this hunt." Ryan said, "My brother has sent me a message. We need to deal with things here as soon as possible."

"Randan has no way to escape, my lord. This time we are destined to destroy them completely." Azriel said.

Ryan nodded. "Launch an extinction bombing on this planet. I don't want any life on this planet to survive. Also, delete all information about this battle. No one is allowed to discuss it privately. Just keep a copy of the file in the Stone Fortress. This enemy is not worth remembering. I don't want civilians to know that there was a civilization on this planet."

Just one sentence can wipe out billions of years of evolutionary achievements of an ecosystem.

Azriel and the others did not object.

This is a necessary move.

There are also some things that are tricky and annoying for future generations.

Who knows, in a few decades, someone will block the gate of the Dark Angels, crying and shouting why they are so cruel to destroy a civilization, accusing Ryan of being a civilization executioner and demanding that he be sent to the gallows.

Erasing those memories is the best option.

It can save you a lot of unnecessary trouble.

The Titanium planet was bombed to exterminate everyone.

In addition to conventional light spears and missiles, there are also poison gas and particle flow shocks to ensure that no bacteria are alive on the entire planet.

The core code of the omnic was recovered and sealed again in the secret treasure vault of Deathwing.

The remaining copies had already been infected with the specially crafted virus code.

Once the command is given, it will self-destruct.

An.Sa, the Duchess and others who were captured by the intelligent machines were transferred to the Stone Fortress.

"I'm glad that we can meet again." Ryan has not forgotten the Duchess who declared that the Tau are the future of the galaxy.

He was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that the other party was still alive.

It's simply a miracle.

He thought the woman would die in the war between the Omnics and the Tau.

After such a long time, I stood in front of Lai En again.

The Duchess turned pale.

Ryan personally showed her the Primarch's strategy and cruelty.

A civilization, a powerful intelligent life form was played around by him.

As the two fought, he reaped the benefits.

The former Tau Empire defeated the Human Empire several times in succession and expanded its territory.

After the fall of Cadia, many imperial worlds in the Far Eastern Frontier believed that the rise of the Tau Empire was unstoppable and that the future belonged to the Tau Empire.

But now, the Tau Empire is a thing of the past.

There are so many Titan creatures, but now there is probably not even a fraction of them left. In a while, they may become extinct.

"You are scarier than the devil." The Duchess said fearfully as she looked at Ryan.

"To some extent, your words are a compliment." Ryan said nonchalantly: "You have witnessed the fate of the Tau Empire. Now you have to face your own fate. Traitors are not worthy of forgiveness. Betraying humanity for any reason is absolutely unforgivable."

"Do you want to kill me?" The Duchess tried to stand up straight and asked with all her courage.

"No, that would be a waste. You will be sentenced to dementia and transformed into a machine slave to atone for your betrayal." Ryan said with a smile.

The Duchess turned pale instantly.

The punishment of dementia is more terrible than death.

"No," she yelled.

But no one listened to her screams, and two dark angels came up and dragged her away.

The Mechanical Priests who remain in the Stone Fortress and have not been able to leave will complete this punishment.

After declaring the Duchess' fate, Ryan turned his gaze to the other prisoner.

"I never thought that I would meet you again after ten thousand years." Lai En showed a playful expression, "Fate is so coincidental that it is unbelievable."

"Executioner," An.Sa said, "You will die at the hands of my people and pay for your past crimes. Kill me, I will not be afraid at all, I will wait for you in hell."

"I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. I won't kill you." Lai En said, "I will let you live until you witness your people die in front of you, and until you see me issue an extermination order on the planet you live on."

"You won't find them," An Sa said.

"Then guess the route of this fortress." Ryan waved his hand, and a holographic projection appeared in front of An Sa.

"impossible."

"impossible."

"impossible."

An.Sabao said filially, repeating the same words several times with multiple mouths.

"Nothing is impossible. This time, you won't have any luck." Lai En said with a smile.

... ... ... ... ... ..

... ... ... ... ... ... ... .

Foggy world.

The huge outpost expanded even more massively.

It has already reached the size of a giant city.

Humans in most parts of the world have been gathered into cities.

The strength of mankind continues to grow with the development of science and technology and industry, and there is a tendency for it to overcome the fog.

Many humans who originally served the Mist switched to the base and changed from shouting "Long live the Mist" to shouting "Long live the Emperor".

It fully illustrates the flexible beliefs of human beings.

It is not impossible for humans to completely expel the fog in due time, but of course this is a very long process.

During this period, the Empire's travelers sent many auspicious instruments into the sky. According to them, the universe to which the Mist World belonged had been eroded by the subspace, and the physical laws in many places had been distorted and replaced.

In this case, it would be extremely difficult to recapture those areas and restore the world to the laws of physical laws, and the time span would be astonishingly long. It would be more convenient to wait for the universe to restart.

Qiu Chen didn’t know much about the Empire’s cosmic structure, and he only had a vague understanding of what they were saying.

He wasn't very interested in it either.

He was more concerned about something else.

After destroying the Church of the Lord of Suffering and the Holy Family, the Imperial travelers built a majestic black stone gate.

It was built on the site of the original church.

The gate only has a door frame but no door.

It's empty, there's nothing to see from a distance.

At first no one took it seriously.

But as time went on, people who were close to the door said they heard a rumbling mechanical sound coming from inside.

It was as if on the invisible side of the door, there were countless heavy machines working.

As time passed, the noise coming from the Black Stone Gate became louder and louder.

You can hear it clearly even without getting close.

This made Qiu Chen a little nervous.

These imperial travelers are obviously planning to do something big.

Except for that weird gate.

Another thing happened that concerned Qiu Chen.

There are rumors that the time travelers in the empire are preparing to travel again and are ready to go to other universes to check out the situation.

This matter made Qiu Chen a little concerned.

If I could travel through time again, would I have a chance to go back

Although I didn’t do very well in my previous world, it is still my hometown.

Qiu Chen wouldn't mind if he could go back.

Besides, he has learned a lot over the years and has all kinds of incredible superpowers. When he returns, he will be a king. Those who humiliated him will have to bow down to him immediately, otherwise he will kill them in minutes.

Not only Qiu Chen, many time travelers have this idea.

If you don't return home when you are rich and powerful, it is like walking in fine clothes at night.

Many time travelers have already started making a list, preparing to go back and take revenge, to let those bastards know what the true return of the God of War means.

Unfortunately, the Empire was very secretive about this and did not give them any explanation.

In the pub.

Qiu Chen and a group of time travelers gathered together.

"If I could go back, I would kill that couple immediately." A time traveler raised a wine glass in his hand and said viciously, "They made me take over after getting her pregnant, and even PUA me, saying that I felt insecure. They wanted to put the house in her name, and also gave me 188,000 yuan as a betrothal gift. In the end, they told me that the child is not mine. Is it that important? That is the fruit of her love. If you love her, you have to love all of her. As soon as they saw that I said I wanted a divorce and that they couldn't get any of the property, they even sent someone to hit me. If I don't take revenge, I'd be unworthy of being a human being."

"Yes, I will kill those scumbags and rotten women when I go back, and let them know what it means that the law of heaven is clear and retribution will come." A female time traveler also raised her glass and said, "They cheated me of my body and my money, and even spread rumors that I am a slut. I will make them pay when I go back."

"Revenge when revenge is needed, and complain when complaints are needed." Another time traveler echoed.

"I'm going to go back and write a book about Mist Walker. It's sure to be a hit."

"I want to go back and see if my first love is married."

... ... ...

"Do you really think you can go back?" An elderly time traveler shook his head: "This is too difficult. Those people from the empire may not be able to do it."

"Just because we can't do it doesn't mean others can't do it. Each of us here traveled through time passively, but others traveled through time actively. There is no comparison at all." A young traveler said: "When the time comes, the problem is how can we get others to help us go home."

Qiu Chen sat aside without saying anything. He just drank one glass after another and listened to everyone's conversation.

Many time travelers discussed whether they should hook up with a few imperial personnel, test the waters, and see if there was any way to return home.

Later they talked about the sad things that happened before they traveled through time.

Either the bootlicker is abandoned by the goddess, or his feelings are toyed with by his cruel girlfriend.

Or the wife and children will be separated and the family will be destroyed.

Talk and drink at the same time.

When I was just getting excited.

A huge roar spread throughout the entire outpost.

The many travelers who were drunk and lost in the lake were suddenly shaken and ran outside.

A beam of light shot up into the sky from the direction of the Black Stone Gate, and the rumbling sound of machinery came from there.

Qiu Chen got up and rushed over.

Along the way, many people heard the noise and rushed over.

The area near the Black Stone Gate has been placed under martial law, with the Imperial Army standing guard with weapons in hand.

Qiu Chen could only watch from outside the cordon.

It was discovered that the originally empty black stone gate was connected to a silver metal passage.

There's still nothing behind the door

The huge metal passage can only be seen from the front.

"What is this?" Qiu Chen stared in amazement at the mecha that came out of the passage.

Those mechas were equipped with drills and industrial pliers, which were obviously used for engineering work.
