The Eye of Fear.
This place of "extreme distress" caused by the fall of the Eldar and the birth of Slaanesh, where the physical universe and alien space intersect, has been regarded as an absolutely forbidden area for thousands or tens of thousands of years.
When the New Human Empire became the overlord of the galaxy, the Obscure Star Realm where the Eye of Terror was located was instead occupied by the Emperor's Children, who brought the planets away from the core of the Eye of Terror into their rule and renamed them Cherinos.
However, as the New Human Empire fell apart and was replaced by the current Human Empire of the Main Universe, the Hazy Star Territory, like the Profanity Star Territory, was divided into areas that were prohibited from entry by civil organizations and individuals except for the official and military authorities.
According to the data obtained from the long-term surveillance by the Red Queen and the White Queen, it is shown that the vaccine effect is also suppressing the spread of the Eye of Terror, and it will be possible to completely eradicate it from the Zero Three Galaxy within two thousand years.
As a result, sixteen elite battalions of Spartans, Ultramarines, and Blood Angels were stationed on the outer planets of the Obscure Star Field.
If the evil gods and demons are dishonest and plan to cause trouble in the physical universe, then these sixteen battalions with the highest authority among the legions will suppress and eliminate them as soon as possible.
Moreover, these battalions also have teams of gray knights ranging from twelve to thirty-six people to help deal with demonic creatures.
For half a century, many low-level and mid-level demons have persisted in their evil intentions.
Especially those demons who have sacrificed tens of millions of starting creatures, or those demons who have devoured their own kind to complete the advancement. Their strength has become stronger and their confidence has been greatly expanded. They want to come to the physical universe through the Eye of Fear and try to corrupt even the evil gods. The incorruptible Astartes.
The result was naturally a "memory lesson" given by the 16th Battalion Headquarters.
Low-level and mid-level demons that pose a high threat to a planet and a galaxy will be completely eliminated by Sui Bian's "psionic plunder" like automatic payment when their physical bodies are destroyed by the Astartes. And became part of Sui Bian's nearly endless spiritual energy.
As for those who are not in the mainstream, they are directly "repatriated" to a different space after their physical bodies were shattered by explosives.
When a group of evil gods led by Tzeentch and Slaanesh found out that these low-level and medium-level demons were "sending" spiritual energy to Sui Bian, they spontaneously launched a "purge" in the alien space.
After all, there is no concept of time in a different space, and new demons are born almost all the time. Therefore, the new demons also respond to the saying among demons: "Don't mess with the human emperor named Sui Bian, let alone the emperor's children." !", scoffed at such rumors.
Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.
You can die, but if you die and the enemy continues to grow stronger, Tzeentch and Slaanesh can't bear it anymore, so they start to eliminate the new demons.
This is why, in the decades since the fall of the Zero Three Empire, the evil gods have all withered.
now.
The elite expeditionary force, composed of two homeworlds and a thousand large ships, passed through the large wormhole one after another and reached the edge of Cherinos' gravitational range.
If you stand at the edge of the porthole and look at the fallen planet, observing with the naked eyes of the Auxiliaries and Astartes, you can intuitively see that the surface of Cherinos is covered with a sea of blood.
Ever since the Spartan Primarch led the main force of the Legion and captured the fallen Fulgrim and the Emperor's Children, Cherinos was ordered to be burned and exterminated.
The Spartan fleet at that time used beam matrices to connect in series to complete the incineration and extermination measures on the surface of the earth.
Theoretically, Cherinos should turn into a large area of "glass", and the environment should plummet to about 40 to 50 degrees below zero.
However, the bloody sea shows that Cherinos, abandoned by humans and close to the core of the Eye of Terror, has completely become a self-aware demon planet in the past half century.
If the fleet continues to approach the surface of Cherinos, all kinds of weird sucking tentacles like the Asasthiya clan will appear in the bloody sea, trying to draw the fleet into the center of "it".
at this time.
The home world of the Space Wolves, the inner world of the Gungnir.
In the main control room.
“…”
I saw Russ, who used the wolf skin of the three wolves as a cloak, wore the armor of the Wolf King, and had the iconic beard, looking at Cherinos through the holographic screen, and there were about forty astronomical units away from them ( 6 billion), falling into deep thought.
"Sir!" At this time, a civilian employee of the Wild Wolf Auxiliary Army turned to report to him: "The doctor hopes to let him land on the blood sea of Cherinos for research."
"No." Russ shook his head, "We can't park here for a long time, not to mention the situation of Cherinos is unknown. Let Magnus directly pull it into the stasis space he created, and wait until the expedition is over. Let your doctor study it carefully.
The primary goal now is to get the expedition fleet in order, turn on the warp engine and sail to the interior of the Eye of Terror, go to the coordinates given by his father, and establish a base first.
Also, don’t forget to inform the battalion commanders stationed outside the Hazy Star Territory so that they must be more vigilant.
In the event of an emergency and loss of contact with our expeditionary force, please immediately summon Rogge, Sanguinius and Sui Meng, who are also on the expedition in Universe 03, and rush to the edge of the Eye of Terror to implement a blockade.
After all, this is the first large-scale expedition to another space that will be recorded in history since humans in our main universe entered the interstellar age and established an empire. We must not be careless or lax. "
Ruth's rhetoric sounded quite as rigorous as Robert's.
In fact, as mentioned at the end, this is the first time that the human empire has entered a different space on a large scale, and they have to be extremely vigilant to prevent their expeditionary force from ending up like the annihilation of the Olympus gods.
"Yes, sir."
It didn't take long for the civilian members to finish their words.
Cherinos disappeared from the holographic screen, apparently being "dragged away" by Magnus.
Then, more than a thousand warships, including the Gangnir, quickly deployed energy shields and "space bubbles" needed for warp speed navigation. In the blink of an eye, they crossed a distance of 6 billion kilometers and arrived at the "Maelstrom." "edge.
at this time.
The various data displayed on the holographic screen are soaring and plummeting, with no stable value at all.
It can be seen that here is where the rules of physics begin to dissipate and the collapse of the intersection of psychic energy, thought, and emotion reigns.
If a flagship like the Zeus class, which is five to ten kilometers long and is an "outdated" model for the empire, removes its energy shield, then even if all the crew members have been injected with the latest type of vaccine, whispers and sporadic incidents will inevitably occur. phantom.
Of course, if those who like to add "Human Truth" paper accessories to their power armor, work clothes and clothing, they can provide good protection.
What's more, the imperial national emblem printed on the inside and outside of the ship can also provide a certain degree of protection (the battleship itself has no thought, and there is no so-called concept of absolute loyalty, and the low-intelligence artificial intelligence on board is not the soul of the battleship, so it cannot exert the imperial power. The national emblem has the greatest effect).
"The situation in all ministries is stable. Do you want to continue moving forward?" another civilian member asked.
"Of course!" Russ crossed his hands in front of the breastplate, opened the full-frequency communication of the Wolf King's armor in a rhetorical tone, and raised his voice: "Keep moving forward, don't deliberately avoid it, let the bastards in the different space know , our human expeditionary force just wants to kick the gym, and we also want to blow up their broken gym!"
"Ouch!!"
Upon hearing these words, the wolf guards staying in the central control room of the Gungnir, as well as the wolf battalion commanders on other ships, all let out the unique wolf howls of their space wolves.
The battalion commanders of the remaining legions also responded to Russ by sending out the war cries of their respective legions on the channel.
As for the eight other originals who accompanied him, they had to obey Russ's orders. Seven of them could only nod in agreement.
Davarich, who was rather Russian-style, said loudly on the communication line: "Hahaha! Well said, brother! Kick the heads of those bastards!!"
"All forward!"
"Speed seventy!"
Moreover, the civilian members present in the central control room all became very "excited" due to the spiritual morale boost of their original body, and immediately took control of the Gungnir and took the lead in sailing into the maelstrom.
soon.
The vast starry sky and endless darkness of the physical universe gradually moved away, replaced by spiritual "fog" and "nebula" of pink and purple light filling the void.
Moreover, there are countless planets floating randomly here, each with a different shape.
Some are similar to Cherinos, the surface is filled with a sea of blood, the sky is filled with a sea of fire, or the entire planet is a huge ice ball.
And some planets…
It cannot be said to be a planet at all. It is either a regular rectangle, or a mess of "circles" and "squares" spliced together, or...
"Eye monsters" and "tentacle monsters" like Asastiere.
But all of them are huge, and the smallest one is more than a hundred times the size of Asastiya.
After discovering the Gangnir and the elite expedition fleet, these living planets immediately turned their nearly countless eyes of different specifications.
Eyes locked.
No matter where the fleet goes, the eyes of the living planet will always follow.
Fortunately, they didn't have any thoughts of moving or attacking. They just stared at them, watching the fleet go deep into the alien space.
“…”
Seeing such a strange scene through the holographic screen, Ruth's brows furrowed even more tightly, and the center of his brows formed the shape of the word "Chuan".
It's okay to stay in the inner earth world. After all, the home world has a shielding function, but his keen intuition and sixth sense tell Russ that this is just the edge of the alien space. If it continues to go deeper, it will definitely attract powerful evil gods and demons.
This is the home of Chop Suey.
The strength of Zasui is dozens or even a hundred times that of the physical universe.
Although he did not understand why his father let them go deep alone, and he had not yet given a detailed explanation, as the war commander of this expeditionary force, Russ chose to believe in and obey the orders issued by his father as usual.
"Buzz~! Buzz~!!"
At this moment, a loud but beautiful "whale song" came from the holographic screen, and continued to resound throughout the entire central control room.
Upon hearing this, Russ no longer speculated on his father's intentions, but focused his attention on the holographic screen again.
It turned out to be a pod of void whales, traveling along with the expedition fleet.
but…
Among these looming void whales with colorful light flowing, the smallest one has a visual length of at least 40,000 kilometers...
It is 40,000 kilometers, not 40,000 meters. It is nearly four times longer than the diameter of the earth.
The elite fleet with two home worlds would be at a crushing level in any universe, but in front of this group of void whales, they were really insignificant.
It seems that among all the ships of the Human Empire, only Ark 001, 002 and 003 can crush the void whale group in front of them in terms of size.
However, their temperament seems to be similar to that of whales in Earth's oceans, and they are simply curious about humans and ships with physical bodies.
If they wanted to launch an attack, opening their mouths as early as the moment they appeared would be enough to swallow up the entire expeditionary force.
Whether it can cause substantial damage is not mentioned for the time being, but this directly shows that the void whales have no malicious intentions.
Moreover, it seems that because the Void Whale is at the "top of the food chain" in this area, when the expeditionary force sailed towards the coordinates given by the emperor, no demon Xiaoxiao came to stop it.
This also made the people who were nervous and always preparing for the outbreak of war relax a little, and still have enough energy to observe the different scenery in the different space.
If everything in the universe is inseparable from various physical rules, and everything runs according to established orbits and follows the flow of nature, seamlessly, then the alien space is like the "chaos" when the universe was just born.
Everything is "messy", a vast ocean may not need a bed at all, but it can float there, everything seems to be "at will", with no restrictions at all.
About three hours later.
Escorted by a swarm of void whales, the elite expedition fleet arrived at a "paradise" in the literal sense.
I saw an island of unknown size and seemingly endless, floating in front of the fleet within visual range.
The reason why it is called a paradise is that the island has rain forests, grasslands, mountains and other common terrains on the earth. The most important thing is that there are many beaches and harbors on the edge of the island.
Combined with the small sun hanging above the island and the icy moon below the island, the entire expedition force could not help but think of the resort they went to during their holidays and rest.
And the scenery of this island is even more beautiful!
"Buzz~——! Buzz!!"
As the whale song sounded again, the void whales seemed to have fulfilled some kind of instructions and turned their huge bodies away from the expedition fleet and the island.
In the central control room of the Gangnir.
"Sir." A civilian member looked a little strange and turned to look at Lu Sihui behind him to report: "We have arrived at the coordinates given by His Majesty, which is the island in front of us.
besides…
We detected a large number of pure psychic reactions on the edge of the island. "
"Pure spiritual energy?" Russ was confused.
"Yes, after scanning and testing, this is the real-time image returned. Sir, please take a look."
While civilian members report, real-time images are also projected on the holographic screen.
I saw that the so-called pure psychic reaction was actually hundreds of thousands of "Astartes" equipped with ceramite armor?
