"This is the Eagle's Nest, calling for the blood of lava. Please answer when you receive it!"
"This is the Eagle's Nest, calling for the blood of lava. Please answer when you receive it..."
The call of the Silver Dawn was the first normal sound that appeared in Calvin's hearing.
The whisper of subspace in his ears was not far away, but reality finally gave Calvin a not-so-bad anchor point.
Talos's vital signs and his voice of questioning to the captain of the Molten Blood to confirm the situation of the battleship then appeared in Calvin's perception.
Let the original body's perception finally land, and continue to extend to reality to consolidate his soul.
It wasn’t a bad journey, at least it didn’t cost anything irreparable;
This can even be regarded as a lucky gift, because in that dream, which was not known to be an hallucination or not, the primarch obtained many inferences that needed to be confirmed later.
Could this be an illusion created by the enemy?
Calvin doesn't think so, because perception can be faked, but the characteristics and qualities of the Eldar gods cannot be simulated by more powerful gods.
Is this misleading given by Tzeentch?
Calvin does not rule out this possibility, but in the face of the fog of war where there is no knowledge, even wrong perceptions are still valuable information.
"What's the situation?" Talos's voice sounded on the bridge.
The command unit deck below was still busy, and no one on the battleship's command crew had time to answer.
There was no anger in Talos' eyes, because this was definitely not their intention to neglect.
"It's not confirmed yet, sir." The battleship captain responsible for central command shook his head slightly and signaled to his master with his eyes.
Such is the case with Inquisition relationships, loyalty is cheap but strong.
From the moment he was assigned to Talos's warship, he and his crew swore an oath of service to these Emperor's Angels until the end of their lives.
As the captain, he had already left his seat at this time, and the position he was standing was between the seats of the communications director and the auspicious instrument director.
And his two subordinates and comrades-in-arms were also working hard on their respective fronts at this time.
Chaos had already occupied the entire Astropath's deck from the moment the battleship issued the warning.
The communications director was trying hard to get in touch with the astropaths. He had done everything he could except not issue the final execution order.
The same is true for the detection array on the other side. Thousands of contradictory information are also being fed back from the detection array all over the battleship, torturing the fragile brain of the auspicious instrument manager.
Although the red blood has been flowing uncontrollably from the nostrils of the Oracle Director, this guy still did not take off the Thought Pulse Helmet and stubbornly fought on his post.
But fortunately, all this will eventually come to an end, or in other words, depending on the emperor's blessing, today is not the time for everyone to sacrifice their lives for it.
"The energy turbulence is weakening! The external communication system is back to normal!"
When the Astropath was on the deck, the first Astropath to regain consciousness regained contact with the bridge.
With his dry and broken voice, the communications director excitedly raised his head and shouted a reminder to the captain.
The moment the latter heard this, he turned to look at Talos, and after receiving tacit approval, he directly ordered the communications director:
"Try communicating with the Argent Dawn again!"
"yes!"
"The perception system is online again! The surrounding energy response is decreasing!"
The director of the apocalypse also brought good news, which put Talos's heart at ease again.
In the absence of the Chief Engineer (unassigned), this will undoubtedly make the members of the entire battleship feel extremely lucky.
Under the iron-gray dome hall, the servo skull and projection equipment are transmitting the information below simultaneously.
Looking at the rapidly decreasing red panels on the battleship condition diagram in front of him, Talos calmly let go of the anti-collision guardrail he had been holding on to.
The disaster was finally over, and the atmosphere on the battleship returned to its previous calmness.
On the small bridge, news of alarm contact spread extremely quickly;
The bustling crew members were running around on the lower decks, continuing to strive for their respective missions and responsibilities.
And Calvin stood alone behind Talos, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
The gradually normal perception around me is extending, and then extending...
The vital signs belonging to humans on the Lava Blood were densely packed, reflecting into his field of vision like a huge ant colony.
Memory and reality intersect in the brain, and neurons and electrolytes are in close contact with supernatural forces.
Calvin squinted his eyes and looked forward, the gradually weakening pain and pleasure in his mind reminding him and warning him.
At the same time, the experience just now also warned him that the war here was far beyond the scope of physical laws, and was by no means as simple and straightforward as the iron and blood in the previous life.
"This is the Argent Dawn... Damn it, I mean Emperor's blessing, we finally got in touch with you!"
Tabos's voice was transmitted by the Astropath, and sounded from the loudspeaker on the bridge with a rather distorted tone.
But this is finally a good thing. The communication signal with the Silver Dawn is becoming more and more stable, which also proves that the environment outside the battleship is becoming safer.
"How are you doing?
Our detection array just received a signal, and a high-quality object appeared in front of your ship.
Is the battleship intact now? Do you need to come out of submersible mode?
What's going on with the Titans? I need to talk to him directly..."
Tebos's voice continued, but Talos didn't know how to answer in the captain's eyes.
He had no doubts about his condition, but he had no memory of that period just now.
But after subconsciously retrieving the records on the power armor, he unexpectedly discovered that he was not the only one with the problem.
Even the entire crew and servos of the Lava Blood had a blank time without any record of the thrilling test they had just experienced!
"Level 1 alert! Subspace pollution warning!"
An exclamation almost came out of his mouth, but the original body behind him stepped forward and raised his hand.
Feeling the extra weight on his shoulders, Talos turned back stiffly.
Calvin just looked at him calmly with his eyes, and then shook his head slightly at him from an angle that could not be seen from below the bridge.
"I am a Titan."
Hyperion's blessing was activated spontaneously, and with the intervention of the high-level authority of the Tribunal stored in his personal terminal, Calvin roughly took over the communication channel with the Silver Dawn.
Although the Astropath Deck was surprised, the authority on the identification code was sufficient.
"Thank God!" Tabers' voice sounded relieved across the channel.
Calvin's decision to leave the Legion and go to other battleships alone happened with his tacit approval. In the current situation, neither the Gray Knights Legion nor the Inquisition could bear the consequences of the disappearance of the original body.
"I have no problem here, the subspace turbulence has passed."
Calvin's voice continued, but he no longer wanted to endure such poor communication quality.
In hindsight, he thought of the astropaths aboard the Molten Blood. These unfortunate psykers had been silent and must have been suffering from the previous warp shock.
He wanted to help them, but the reality was worse than he imagined.
A subtle trace of psychic energy spread along his perception. The moment he found the Astropath deck of the Lava Blood, he quietly poured into the psychic energy amplification matrix on the deck with a gentle but unquestionable gesture. .
+Who's here? +
The Primarch's voice rang in the ears of the only conscious psyker, who shuddered instinctively as he felt the power.
+me! +
He called loudly in his soul. Although he didn't know the origin of this voice, in the disordered subspace, this voice, which also came from the battleship, was one of the few choices he had.
The turmoil in the subspace is a disaster for any astropath. And this kind of disaster is an even more devastating blow to the astropaths working on the battleship.
The battleship is not stationary in the subspace, but moves in real time. In order to achieve subspace communication, he and his colleagues need to separate their souls from their bodies and project them into the subspace.
Among the dynamic battleships, they are like kites flying in the storm, and the only link that maintains them with reality is their own will and the positioning of their bodies.
The current situation is that the connection between his colleagues and reality has been torn and severed by the turbulence of subspace.
If this situation is allowed to develop, these souls will be completely lost in the subspace, or become lonely souls in an endless time corridor, or become food for some unspeakable monster...
+I'm here! I'm here! No matter who you are! For the Emperor's sake! Please save them! +
+Even if you die? +
The tone of the voice was slightly weird, but what he said was already within the astropath's expectations.
There is no favor that can be obtained out of thin air. Even the Emperor's blessing requires faith to obtain.
+Yes, that's fair! Even if it costs me, please save them! +
+ As you wish! +
The astropath's answer from the soul gave Calvin a basic basis for his power.
And that faint trace of spiritual energy completely locked the Astropath after making a contract with it.
The cold and hot power rushes out and descends like a river in the void;
As for the rare astropath who can feel the pain of his body being washed away by huge energy in the state of spiritual vision, he can even feel the pain in his soul while his body in the real universe seems to be spontaneously combusting, emitting frightening white light from his five senses. Unprecedentedly fulfilling and powerful!
+Come back! +
The astropath's soul roared out the word in agony and rage.
The power derived from reality makes him like a luminous giant at this moment. While being burned by the power within his body, his body is also expanding and burning every minute!
+Come back! +
The huge light and shadow screamed in the void, ignoring the covetousness and greed around them, and even ignoring their own impending fate!
He used all his strength and pain to call out every name he was familiar with;
He is like a star torch, lighting their way home in the dark sea of darkness!
Scott, Pavim, Kao, and his most beloved daughter...Lillian.
Every time a name was spoken from his mouth, a location in the depths of the Warp lit up.
Those greedy and ugly monsters fled in confusion at his shouts;
And those souls who had fallen into confusion also woke up at his call!
Links to reality were established from scratch in his eyes, and when everyone rediscovered the coordinates of reality, he also ushered in his final moment.
"Lillian..."
The Astropath peered through reality, looking at the very end of the psionic amplification matrix.
On an inconspicuous seat there, his daughter was curled up, sleeping in a semi-open life-support capsule.
He was not familiar with this child because she was born a hundred years after he completely entered the life-sustaining capsule.
He has almost never given her decent fatherly love, because no matter who is a psyker, he cannot have unbridled emotions due to his natural curse;
Or the Astropath's increasingly irritable soul as he interacts with the subspace, which makes it rare for him to be completely calm, let alone care for a blood descendant bred from a test-tube embryo.
+Is that your daughter? + Calvin asked curiously.
+Yes. +The Astropath replied.
+You are a good father. +
+No, I'm not. +
…
+But thank you anyway. +
The Astropath spoke to Calvin sincerely.
His soul, which had been burned to the last moment, let him know that Calvin had no interest in this deal.
The transaction process has been completed, but his selfishness was exposed at this moment.
+ No, that's fine, you deserve the deal. +
Calvin watched the Astropath's soul dissipate, but similar memories arose in his mind.
He used his strength to hold up the last bit of the opponent's remains, then retracted the perspective extending from the astropath's body, and quietly returned to reality.
"He is a good father." Calvin said to Talos, which was what he asked him to tell the girl.
At the same time, on the deck of the Astropath, there was a scene bursting with life.
"Uh..." The guttural voice on the verge of drowning echoed in the seat of the psychic matrix. Many unlucky people who were unable to recover their physical bodies due to the shock of the subspace finally returned to reality at the sacrifice of the Chief Astropath.
Calvin has walked to the Astropath's deck, and he has temporarily taken over the psychic amplification array here.
The voice of the original body became clearer and clearer in Tabos's ears, and what he said next made the latter feel even more puzzled.
"Confirm our position." Calvin said to Tybus, while motioning to Talos with his eyes.
The latter and Tabos summoned the star map on the battleship at the same time, and the time record after the battleship entered the subspace was also displayed and compared on the two battleships at the same time.
"Oh! Damn it!" Tybos exclaimed, while Talos stared at the timer in silence.
Subspace navigation is inherently full of randomness, and the true speed after entering deep navigation has no fixed standard;
The battleship's control of its own voyage in the subspace is usually based on the internal timing of the ship entering the subspace.
But during the timing comparison between the two battleships, he and Talos were shocked to find that there was a time difference of up to five days in the timing equipment on the two battleships, and there was no valid information record in between!
