Gu, who came down from the ceiling, spoke in a serious tone.
"We definitely haven't finished our journey yet, which means we have been discovered by the ribs in the tomb."
Egg, who had stopped deciphering the reading bar, raised his hand slightly and controlled his chess pieces to prepare for battle - the Hammers had guessed about this possibility before, so their descended bodies and the chess pieces they brought with them entered the state smoothly, ready to smash the faces of anything that rushed out from inside at any time.
However, the next second, the expressions of the Hammer guys collectively became subtle.
(High Gothic)
"Welcome to this forgotten world, guests who have traveled a long way. If possible, can you please come into my sleeping place and talk to me? In this way, perhaps you can understand how stupid it is that you are trying to do."
19. The Horrifying Truth About the Minoit Galaxy
There is green light and only green light illuminates the road.
A lingering chill in the air.
Angular metal bridge.
Various mechanical creations were operating silently in the cold green light.
The guards stood quietly in what should be a sentry post, silently watching the 'guests' on the road.
There was only the clicking sound of the 'honor guard' walking on both sides of the Hammers.
A normal person who occasionally passes by would definitely not be able to see it clearly, but the Hammer guys can see it clearly as a tomb construct.
This is the Necron Tomb buried deep underground in the planet Minoit I. It is a place where no living being is allowed to enter. The remnants of the ancient existence that had long lost everything are maintaining the last breath of their civilization with their inorganic bodies. The galactic overlords before the birth of the word history are guarding this sea of stars in their own way.
Well, although, the way they guard is really hard for the new galactic overlords, humans, to accept...
"Hey, Silence, can you tell what dynasty this tomb belongs to?"
Although this place was a bit too depressing for ordinary Imperials - and even for some young Astartes, it obviously did not pose any psychological threat to the Hammer Guys. After the initial caution when entering the tomb, the Hammer Guys quickly relaxed their bodies and minds, happily looking at every brick and object in this tomb world while complaining that from a realistic point of view, GW's model did not reflect the historical oppression of the Necrons they designed. At the same time, they took screenshots of all the details they captured that might be of use and threw them in the Hammer Guys chat group. Soon, with the help of the Queen of Glory battleship, valuable information from these details was extracted and then fed back to the Hammer Guys.
"It's the tomb of the Nehrak Dynasty?"
Since the information contained in these intelligences was sufficient, Silence easily recognized the exact identity of the dynasty to which the tomb belonged from the emblems, structural details and other aspects - the Nehrak Dynasty, a dynasty that was powerful but tended to be conservative. Under normal circumstances, this dynasty would not take the initiative to initiate a war. Only when they encountered what they believed to be a definite invasion would they send out a large army to wipe out the enemy.
"Are there any famous guys in this dynasty?"
Although GW's Necrons military book and many research UP hosts have introduced the famous Necron dynasties, other Hammer players who don't play Necrons are undoubtedly not very familiar with the classification of these dynasties, so the Chosen One spoke out of curiosity.
"The King of Figures is from this store."
"What???"
"Tarrazin the Endless?"
"Wait, I remember that the mind projection technology of this guy, the Figure King, was amazing, and he especially liked to use his own lords or technicians as projection targets - do you think that a Figure King will jump out of this tomb?"
"It's hard to say. From the current story, although the Figure King can have multiple bodies, there is no sign of multiple consciousnesses. But considering the technology of the Pai Gu family, what about a little multi-threaded operation? It seems that the Figure King can do it."
"That means we may have fallen into that guy's sight... Quick! God's Chosen! Use the power of your Blood Crow Chess Piece Advent Body to give the Figure King a little Blood Crow shock!"
"Don't make a fuss. I've been analyzing it all the way, but the resolution has never exceeded 10%. The things in this tomb are not easy to touch."
".....Can you get even 10% closer? The oil guy here can only get 5% at most!"
"If the opponent is really the King of Figures, we should be careful not to be tricked by him... This guy's desire for collecting is simply limitless. It's hard to say whether our descended bodies will attract his attention. Anyway, what will be the consequences if our descended bodies are collected? Will the chess pieces be locked directly?"
"God knows, anyway, just be ready to overturn the table at any time."
Amid the Hammer Guys' muttering, this road that seemed to have no end at first finally came to an end. With another door slowly opening silently, the Lord of the Tomb, who was sitting on the high platform and holding a scepter, finally appeared in front of the Hammer Guys.
What do you think of a hammer guy?
This guy looks familiar...
—————————————Tarasim’s dividing line——————————————————————————
Trazyn the Infinite actually didn't really want to come to this tomb world.
As the curator of Solomnas, which is arguably the largest comprehensive museum in the Milky Way, the Infinite One Trazyn does not like to visit planets that are too remote - because such planets often do not have anything worth collecting, and staying on these planets is a waste of time for him, the Undead Overlord who hopes to collect the history of the Milky Way -
However, after confirming the situation of a certain tomb world that was being invaded, Trazyn realized that something was wrong and had to project his consciousness into this world. He kicked away the Necron Overlord who was responsible for guarding this galaxy. As a result, probably due to long-term sleep, there were a lot of problems with the thinking circuits and personality circuits in his brain. After arranging it for repair and recuperation, he personally took charge of this world and began to arrange various plans desperately. Admittedly, Trazyn has always been optimistic about humans and believes that the human race is indeed qualified to be the galactic overlord after the Necrontyr has become what it is now. However, Trazyn also knows...
When it comes to seeking death, the human race is even worse than the Necrontyr who bravely made a deal with the Star God without knowing anything!
Fortunately, Trazyn was satisfied to find that the Lord of the Human Empire, the old witch who played with witchcraft, might have discovered the bad situation of this galaxy, and therefore sent a team that was obviously formed by his power to this planet. Although Trazyn didn't like to deal head-on with this guy who would get into trouble sooner or later, now, after comparing the existence of all human empires in this galaxy, Trazyn found that he had no choice.
At least... they chose to... pry the door open instead of blasting it open? Right?
———————————————The dividing line between the Hammer guys——————————————————————
“Really…”
"God's Chosen, if anything goes wrong later, you can steal the scepter from Trazyn and give him a little Blood Raven shock - let the King of Figures know that in this universe, the Empire is also amazing in this regard."
"Get lost! The situation is that we are doomed if we don't get picked up by Trazyn. We don't want this kind of failure!"
"Hey, do you think we have fallen into Trazyn's four-dimensional maze? Should we just stay where we are and give Trazyn a little extra surprise?"
"...I don't think Trazyn's ability is enough to affect the thoughts of beings like us. For the world of 40K, our existence is completely beyond the dimension - that is, why would Trazyn run to such a world that has no collection value to him? Could it be that this guy predicted that a shocking event that might affect the galaxy would happen in this world, so he jumped here in advance to make plans?"
"It's unrealistic no matter how you think about it. This galaxy is a super remote place in both the real universe and the subspace. Unless a main force of the Zerg Hive Fleet jumps in here or a Warboss of the Bone Crusher level jumps out in the blink of an eye or a super cool subspace rift is torn open, otherwise it's all Pai Gu himself."
"...Don't tell me, our synchronization rate has dropped to 1%. God knows how many anti-psychic settings there are in this place. There may really be a chaos portal in this planet. Hey, Trazyn has stood up. Let's see what he has to say."
With the additional rise of several black stone devices that possessed the power of the subspace and stabilized reality, the Hammer guys were shocked to find that the synchronization rate of their descended bodies was approaching the value of 98%, and the movements of their hands and feet also began to feel uncomfortable and sluggish. As these black devices took effect one after another, the Hammer guys' synchronization rate and command rate all dropped to 98%, and the worst was even hovering around 95%.
"With this intensity, could Trazyn really have activated the Exorcist Death Zone?"
"Probably not yet, but this pile of black stones is incredible. I guess any famous demon that falls into this area will instantly become a weakling that can't even beat a chicken - well, it's possible that even an ant can exile it?"
"So what kind of outrageous subspace thing is this world suppressing?"
Of course, the Infinite One Tarasim, who had already stood up from his chair, had no idea what the Hammerers were complaining about in the Hammerer chat channel. He raised his scepter and pointed it slightly forward. Instantly, a holographic projection of the Minoit Galaxy was generated in the void - it was generated without missing any details, and it was even slowly changing with the current operation of the Minoit Galaxy.
"Since you are all emissaries sent by that guy, I don't need to find a way to describe it in less dangerous terms. You know, the thing you call the subspace symbolizes decay, stagnation, and despair. Under very special circumstances, the real world does not necessarily need to meet the number seven to connect with it?"
Although the voice of the Infinite Trazyn is the standard flat voice of the Necrons, the Hammer guys feel that listening to this guy who can be said to be an outlier among the Necrons in some senses is a bit "tiring".
"So, Alien, you were the reason why the Empire gave up this galaxy?"
Although he roughly knew what the thing that the Figure King mentioned was, the information revealed by the Figure King was very limited. Therefore, after thinking for a second, Abathur began to communicate with the Figure King in a very imperial way.
"If your large forces had not left this galaxy at that time, then in order to minimize the probability of this world becoming a real scar that swallows up the power of the warp, we would have chosen to annihilate your bodies as much as possible - judging from the results, it would be the same."
"…Are you threatening us, Alien?"
This time it was the Political Commissar who spoke. To match her words, she even put her hand on the gun at her waist. Seeing this move, the Infinite One Tarasim's eyes flickered slightly, and two more people floated out of the Blackrock Facility.
The Hammer guys' synchronization rate once again dropped by .
"Relax, I am at least stating the facts - the problem with this galaxy, as the messengers of that unrealistic and non-subdimensional existence, you really can't see it? Well... it seems that you really can't see what the problem with this galaxy is..."
Since the political commissar sister did not follow up with her hand on the gun, Taraxin nodded with satisfaction, thinking that he had successfully suppressed these beings. He raised his hand again and gently pointed at the stars in the sky. Suddenly, the planets began to migrate. Within three seconds, in this projection, the three planets of the Minoit galaxy fell on three points where the lines connecting the two were approximately sixty degrees...?
"This equilateral triangle-like celestial phenomenon will appear once every 333 of your Terra years according to the orbital speed of the planets in the Minoit system. Each relative position will last for about seven Terra months. Unfortunately, this galaxy is now just at the time when this celestial phenomenon appears. Do I need to say more?"
Trazyn put down his finger and looked at the Hammer guys with a scrutinizing look, as if he didn't want to say more. The Hammer guys, who had probably already pinpointed the problem of this world as a certain cheerful fat man, also started discussing it frantically.
"The celestial phenomenon lasted for seven months. This phenomenon must be related to Nurgle. But what is the relationship between this celestial phenomenon and Nurgle? How come this number does not satisfy seven?"
"It doesn't have to be seven. Trazyn just mentioned that linking reality with the Nurgle realm doesn't necessarily need to be related to seven. Let me think about it - hiss, fuck! No wonder Pai Gu is so nervous!!! This galaxy is really in big trouble!"
The Chosen One suddenly took a breath of cold air, and his voice unconsciously rose an octave.
"What, Chosen One, what did you think of?"
Hearing the excitement in the God's Chosen One's tone, Egg hurriedly asked.
"Nurgle's holy number is seven, but the problem is that his simplest concept cycle - life, decay, death - this cycle number is three! In other words, three is the hidden number that can attract Nurgle! Moreover, the structure of this guy's holy emblem is composed of three balls located at the three corners of an equilateral triangle, and three arrows extending from the gaps between the balls!"
20. The solution given by Trazyn
math.
This is an extremely sophisticated subject. In theory, everything in the real world can be expressed in one or more mathematical ways. It can be said that on Earth, mathematics is inherently rational and objective - as long as you don't make any mistakes in any numbers, then the only thing wrong is your sensibility, not reality.
However, in the Warhammer 40K world, mathematics, a rational subject, links itself with the turbulent and endless changes in the warp in an extremely ironic way - the Holy Numbers. The most objective thing has become a bridge between chaos and reality. Under the guidance of specific numbers and geometric figures, the various weirdnesses of the warp correspond to reality, and under the conditions, it can even drag reality into the abyss of disorder - in the world of 40K, even mathematics, the most objective thing, betrays order itself. What else can you expect to be truly "ordered"?
"This galaxy is a galaxy-level N-father ritual site? A huge event every 333 years?"
In the Hammer Brothers chat group, Liang Feifan's tone showed a hint of dullness.
"...If the King of Figures hadn't misled us with some strange hints, then this matter would have been set in stone - the problem in this galaxy is not just with the planet under our feet, but with the entire galaxy..."
Abathur's voice also became somewhat erratic.
"There is no need for the Figure King to mislead us on this matter. Although its goal in the battle of Cadia was to collect Abaddon, closing the Eye of Terror was also one of its goals. At the same time, in order to help the Empire, the Figure King released a large number of its collections."
The Hammer who knew Pai Gu best spoke in a quiet tone, and the other Hammers nodded in agreement. Indeed, although the King of Figures was a Necromancer, and honestly could not be considered a "living" being, and he would run to the Empire to make a big deal for his collection,
When it comes to the stuff in the subspace, the character of the figure king is definitely better than that of Douya, and even some of the imperial people themselves are reliable...
"So, how do we solve this galaxy's problems?"
Dandan brought the conversation back to the topic.
"Ask the King of Figures first and see what suggestions it has."
———————————————The dividing line of Trazyn the Endless————————————————————
"Interesting. As the apostles of that person, you have behaved much friendlier than I thought. At the beginning, I thought that not shooting at me was the limit of your friendliness."
The discussion among the Hammers was brief, lasting only about half a minute. Then, Commissar Sister's Cardia Political Commissar walked out of the Hammer Advent Array and asked the Infinite One Tarasim directly how to solve the problem of this galaxy. This unexpected event caused the Infinite One Tarasim's logical circuit to pause for a moment, and then the light in its eyes began to flicker.
"I don't want to hear nonsense, alien, I want some valuable answers."
The political commissar continued to speak in the imperial style with all her might.
"Okay, okay, then I'll give you an answer, and I believe this answer is in line with your style - blow up this world with your anti-planetary weapons, and at the same time, kill all the living people in this galaxy, grind their bones to dust, and make sure that as few living things as possible are left - in this way, this planetary-level ritual will be silent. As long as no one comes to explore this galaxy and take any dangerous actions in the future, then it will inevitably be silent forever."
"If we do this, it means that your facility will be completely ineffective, right? Does this mean that if we choose this, if someone unfortunately gets lost and enters the Mandeville point of this galaxy, steps into this planetary system, and triggers the ritual again, there will be no way to stop it?"
After hearing the answer from the King of Figures, the Hammer guys' brains were collectively stuck for a moment. However, Liang Feifan, who was quicker in reaction, immediately found the problem in this answer.
"Well...anyway, after the descendants of the person who evacuated this galaxy returned and triggered the overly outdated security facilities of this tomb world, the remaining operating time of this sealed tomb world facility has been shortened to less than a thousand of your Terra years. It's no big deal if it's destroyed. And the dangerous action I'm talking about is not just drawing a few circles. At least one 'counterpart' celestial body must be placed at the location of the destroyed planet before the ceremony can be restarted."
Seemingly satisfied that the Hammers were actually thinking seriously about what it said, Infinite One Trazyn began to explain seriously.
"If we destroy three worlds?"
The political commissar began to think about the empire.
“When things go to extremes, they must be reversed.”
The Figure King answered calmly.
"....the two?"
"Too much is as bad as too little - destroying one is the safest and most stable method. This is my conclusion after careful calculation."
"If we use this method to block the ceremony, everyone must die?"
"They must. Otherwise, they or their descendants will be like the human who awakened the existence of this tomb world. Sooner or later, at the right time, they will return to this galaxy due to the waves in the subspace and become the 'key'. With the 'key', the difficulty coefficient of starting the ceremony will be greatly reduced."
The light in Trazyn's eyes became happier. It had been a long time since it met such an obedient and advice-seeking human being - well, although these guys in front of it were not actually human in essence?
"In other words, the ancestor of Inquisitor Orogen was one of the people who evacuated from this galaxy back then? Then why didn't the Empire just kill everyone in this world?"
The political commissar frowned. According to the Empire's style, with so many problems, exterminating the entire galaxy was not a big deal at all. Why was the Empire weak on this matter?
"You have to find the answer to this question yourself. I looked through the records of the tomb. The warning we gave back then suggested that no living creatures should be left alive. If they had done so at the time, this tomb world could have sealed off this galaxy for at least a million years, and I wouldn't have to put down my work and come to clean up the mess."
The green light in Trazyn's eyes flashed wildly, and the Hammers even heard a hint of 'gritting of teeth' in its tone.
"Is there a better way? A way that can completely prevent the ritual from being performed in this galaxy, even if the three stars are back in place?"
Wanting to see if Toy King had any other way to solve the problem, Liang Feifan adjusted his voice, making it heavy and obscure - as a disguise for his emotions.
"No, this ritual is essentially a combination of the soul fluctuations of the organisms existing in this galaxy and the special positions of the stars in this galaxy. The only way to silence this ritual is to destroy both trigger points together. Otherwise, the organisms that have been branded with traces by the galaxy-level ritual will sooner or later return like the guy who awakened this tomb - No! If you are the beings sent by that person, then there is! As long as that person has a sufficient number and quality of beings like you to go to the subspace, then there will be another solution to the problems of this world, a better solution, a solution that can solve it once and for all!"
"explain."
The Figure King suddenly thought of something and clenched his scepter. His voice became slightly higher. Sensing the Figure King's excitement, the Political Commissar Sister spoke immediately.
"First, is he willing to send more beings like you into that corrupt territory?"
