In Universe Zero-3 (Warhammer).
An irregular extragalactic galaxy named Yuanzheng-072 without obvious bar spiral, core and "disk".
If you look around the periphery of the galaxy, you can find many bright spots and colorful nebulae. It seems that this galaxy is extremely unstable. Star systems are colliding and exploding with each other, and there are many wild black holes.
However, this is a "visual" observation using physical means. If you are a star system-level psyker, you can only see darkness by using your psychic powers to peer or gaze.
Because this extremely chaotic, even irregular galaxy with a "violent" atmosphere has long been completely occupied by the Tyro Zerg.
Any planet with life was completely eaten by them, and some gaseous planets containing large amounts of methane, hydrogen, and ammonia were also devoured...
In other words, the Tyros Zerg did not even let go of the "fart". They simply carried out the title of "Great Devourer" and the title of "foodie" given by the expeditionary force.
And at this moment.
The edge star field on the "right" side of Yuanzheng-072 belongs to the outermost star system.
The "core" of the star system is a low-brightness red dwarf star 500,000 kilometers away, and has four Earth-like planets orbiting it.
However, the Earth-like planet in the fourth orbit of the galaxy was eaten by a huge "lotus" with a diameter of 70,000 kilometers.
It literally means "to eat".
Painted in dark gray, the "lotus" has a main body and an eight-petal structure on the surface. It unfolds the super giant gate under the main body and releases a restraining stance that emits cyan blue light.
Subsequently, the Earth-like planet with a diameter of about 6,000 kilometers and an extremely bare surface was forcibly dragged into the interior of the "Lotus".
Looking at the surface of "Lotus", we can see that there are oceans, forests, deserts and other environments similar to those on the Earth, as well as a thick artificial atmosphere.
As for the "predated" Earth-like planet, it is located at the core of the "Lotus", and under the pull of strong gravity, it has begun to undergo violent geological movements, volcanic eruptions, and magma spewing.
However, all the aftermath of this violent geological movement are bound to a position that also emits green light.
At the same time, there are endless, at least dozens, or even hundreds of megabytes of mechanical sentries swarming forward to help this "Lotus" dismantle the Earth-like planet and quickly create a "ring"-shaped celestial body.
All signs point to this "Lotus" being one of the most powerful battleships in the human empire, Ark 002.
Ark 002 is building a "ring"-shaped celestial body, which is one of the ultimate weapons of the human empire, a large device that can easily reshape a galaxy or even the entire universe.
As for the number?
Because the expeditionary force under which Rogge serves as Warmaster has been on an expedition for more than a year, and there are too many galaxies in Universe 03 that are swallowed up and occupied by the Tyro Zerg, so Ark 002 keeps opening pseudo-wormholes →
Arrive at the target star system→
Swallowing terrestrial planets that meet the conditions →
Make at least six large devices →
Use pseudo-wormholes to drop large devices to six points in the galaxy (Galaxy level) →
Turn on cross-phase pulse wave→
After "cleansing" the galaxy of the Tyro Zerg and all life, Ark 002 continues to the next target galaxy and repeats the above steps.
And the large devices that have been built will still be transported to different galaxies by the pseudo wormhole opened by Ark 002.
Therefore, the number of devices deployed in Universe 03 is increasing exponentially. Currently, there are more than 600 devices...
To be precise, there are 636 large-scale devices that are "cleaning" the galaxies that are under the care of the Tyro Zerg.
636.
This is an unimaginable number in front of the manager's civilization. However, after the three original bodies allowed Ark 002 to launch "auto cruise", it was completed in just one year.
Of course, the manager civilization was pressed for time and was plotted by a group of evil gods, which resulted in the scarcity of arks and large devices.
As for Ark 002, after devouring the Earth-like planet, 636 will be refreshed to 637.
After the construction of the latest large device is completed, Ark 002 will open a pseudo wormhole and be sent to a certain space in the Expedition-072 galaxy.
However, at this moment...
Huh~! Huh~!
A hundred kilometers above the surface of Ark 002, pseudo-wormholes of different sizes suddenly appeared, twisting the nearby light and space.
Immediately afterwards, a fleet of more than 3,500 warships, ranging from the Lord of Glory class and the Titan class to the Steadfast class frigate, were passing through these pseudo-wormholes one after another, spanning hundreds, thousands, or hundreds of millions in an instant Light years away, they gathered in the sky above Ark 002.
And this is an elite expeditionary force composed of more than sixty battalions.
When the expedition was launched more than a year ago, the size of the fleet was actually more than 4,000 ships. However, after more than a year of searching and continuous confrontation and fighting with the Tyro Zerg, the expeditionary force still lost nearly 15% of the number of warships.
Even though the Tyro Zerg use their physical bodies and biological skeletons to travel across galaxies and engage in ground, air, and naval battles (in the universe), their threat level is extremely high.
The first is their infinite evolutionary ability, and the second is their anti-psionic properties. If Thutmose participates in the expedition, he will definitely be the most disadvantaged.
As for the personnel loss of the expeditionary force, it was controlled at about 9%. Fortunately, the human emperor continued to provide blessings. If it were not for the anti-psionic characteristics of the Tyro Zerg, the personnel loss rate might be even lower.
Before and after the establishment of the empire, the Tyro Zerg could be said to be one of the most serious enemies faced by mankind. At least at its current level, it was on par with the evil gods from different spaces...
Maybe even higher.
After all, counter-psychic energy is really a tricky thing. Only nanotechnology, large devices, and the Ark enable humans to maintain a steady victory and crushing attitude.
And now.
The expeditionary force ended its scattered search operations in Universe 03, and quickly withdrew from various galaxies and nebulae using the "abnormal" transmission ability of pseudo-wormholes.
Among them, there is also the home world of Honor Iron Fist, the Neverfall.
The fleet regrouped and formed a formation, with the Never Falling as the center, temporarily anchored above the surface of the Ark.
It seems that the elite expeditionary force encountered some kind of change, which forced them to end their previous policy.
———————
…
Shortly after.
The inner world of the Neverfall.
The building area where the main control room is located.
There are neatly laid large stone bricks and a central square surrounded by giant stone pillars.
Rogge, who had silver hair and beard, wore a bright gold and black original body armor, and a red cloak hanging behind him, was standing in the center of the square with his hands behind his back, looking up at the artificial star.
The reason why Rogge, the poorest-spoken and serious-tempered man, looked solemn was because the original body who served as the war commander of this expedition canceled his previous action due to some discovery not long ago.
Behind Rogge, stood ten Iron Fist Glory Guards equipped with super-heavy Terminator armor, which could be said to be fully equipped with defense points, and were called "Professional Guards".
The artificial breeze caressed Rogge and the ten personal guards, making their red cloaks tremble and making the atmosphere seem more serious.
Huh~! Huh~!
Suddenly, a burst of blue light flashed in front of Rogge.
After the light group dissipated, another group of giants completed the short-distance teleportation.
Behind him are Sanguinius with folded white wings, and behind ten Terminator armors are the Blood Angels Glory Guard and Blood Guard who also have metal wings.
There is also Sui Meng and ten trappers equipped with ghost faces, the Glory Guard, Po Jun.
Seeing his brother arriving, Rogge looked away from the artificial star, then stepped forward, showed a reluctant smile, and greeted:
"Sanguinius, little brother Sui Meng, since the beginning of the expedition, the number of times we have met has become less and less, haha."
"..." Sui Meng nodded wordlessly.
"Okay Rogge." Sanguinius waved his hand, "If you have anything to say, just tell me. Do we still need to keep up appearances between us brothers?"
"Okay." Rogge shrugged no longer reluctantly, turned around, left the square, and called to the brothers: "Follow me first."
"good."
"."
After that, the three original bodies and their respective glory guards strolled towards the main control room.
The entire journey was speechless.
Soon, the group entered the main control building with the appearance of a temple.
The interior space is spacious, and there are many civilians, Honor Iron Fist, and Iron Fist's auxiliary troops, sitting in front of their respective control desks, obtaining real-time information through countless holographic screens, and dispatching the entire expeditionary force.
Rogge, Sanguinius, and Sui Meng came to the core area, next to the center console the size of a basketball court, while their Honor Guards stood slightly further away.
Then, Rogge crossed his hands in front of his breastplate and said, "Julia, tell me the details of Expedition-072 to these two brothers."
As Rogge finished speaking, a female low-intelligence artificial intelligence wearing an imperial military uniform with long brown-blond hair "stands" in the center of the center console.
At the same time, the center console also releases dense cyan blue light spots with a physical touch, which condense within a few seconds to form an irregular galaxy, which is the holographic star map of Yuanzheng-072.
Immediately afterwards, the artificial intelligence named Julia raised her head slightly to look at the star map, and began to talk:
"We, Glory Iron Fist, discovered and noticed Yuanzheng-072 two Earth days ago. After conducting several comprehensive scans with the Everfall, we learned that the galaxy was born in ancient times, about 13 billion years ago, and Zero Three Galaxy was born at a similar time.
Yuanzheng-072 was also completely devoured by the Tyro Zerg, but the difference from other devoured galaxies is that Yuanzheng-072 has extremely strong psychic shielding. On average, it is 162.5 times that of other devoured galaxies. "
162.5 times?
Sanguinius and Sui Meng were both stunned.
"This means..." Sanguinius reacted immediately, looked at Rogge and said, "Expedition-072 is most likely the birthplace of the Tyro Zerg, their source?"
"..." Sui Meng also looked at his bearded brother.
"Don't deny it." Rogge nodded lightly, and then said to Julia: "Continue to tell."
"Yes, sir."
At this time, Julia raised her hands.
Then, Yuanzheng-072 also shrank rapidly with her movements, but soon Sanguinius and Sui Meng discovered that the star map that replaced it was in the shape of a "bubble" with a diameter of about 160 billion rays. Year 03 universe.
And this diameter only allows people to easily understand how big the universe is, because three-dimensional creatures living in the physical universe can never touch the edge.
Subsequently.
Julia stretched out the index finger of her left hand again and lightly clicked on the "left" bottom of the star map, and a giant black network expanded rapidly.
In just the blink of an eye, this giant network covered 10% of the star map.
And this also means that the Tyro Zerg have "eaten" 10% of Universe Zero-3.
Even though they have more than 600 large devices and continue to clean them, they can't shrink this giant net immediately.
Moreover, without the involvement of humans from the main universe, Horus Luperkar's new human empire alone would not be able to compete with the "Great Devourer".
The holographic star map maintained the status quo for a few seconds, and the next moment, the area where the black network was located was enlarged by Julia.
At the same time, there are "veins" that emit red light, connecting various galaxies shrouded in the black network, and the intersection point, or starting point, of the "veins" happens to be at Expedition-072.
After presenting such an image to the primarchs, Julia continued: "Thanks to our expedition this year and the support of the Neverfall, I have deduced that 187 Tyro Zerg Devouring Zeros The path of the three universes.
Moreover, after we encountered Expedition-072, I compared it with one of the paths and found that the starting point basically matched.
So yes, Expedition-072 has a high probability of being the birthplace of the Tyro Zerg. "
Searching for the source of the Tyros.
This is the ultimate goal of their elite expeditionary force. The previous dispersion of forces was to serve this goal.
But now that Julia told them that their target was close at hand, Sui Meng and Sanguinius fell silent.
Because based on their understanding of Rogge, if everything went well, their war marshal brother would have long ago...
"Hahaha! We have solved the most difficult race this time!", "Catch the Tyro female insect or the insect king, and show Leon!" They said such words.
But not Roger.
When Rogge saw that the two brothers were silent, he took a breath and said in a deep voice: "Yes, we are close to the target, but Julia has detected that once we go deep into Expedition-072, all communications will fail. "
"Any?" Sanguinius frowned slightly, "Can even quantum communication be blocked?"
"Yes." Julia, who was standing by, took over from Rogge to explain: "In addition to the psychic shielding effect of the Tyro Zerg, Yuanzheng-072 is also shrouded in a certain position. Even quantum communication will suffer from position interference. , followed by severe delays.
The most important thing is that conventional jumps, jumps and warp navigation in this position are invalid. Although the current test results show that this position cannot block pseudo-wormhole navigation, it does not mean that it is absolute. "
"Brothers." Rogge said in a serious tone to the two brothers: "We can't be sure what's inside, and once we enter, we will lose our father's blessing. Do you know what this means?"
"There is a chance that it will be gone forever." Sui Meng didn't care, "Just let me kill the alien bastards."
"And we can't always rely on our father's blessing." Sanguinius also agreed with Sui Meng's point of view.
"Very good!" Seeing the brothers expressing their opinions one after another, Rogge finally changed his previous appearance and immediately raised his voice and said: "Then let us overthrow Tyro's hometown!"
