Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 701 The Eternals Arrive (Three in One)

"The situation is becoming increasingly clear."

"They're not using the Webway like the Old Ones to navigate the Warp, but their stealth technology is indeed very advanced."

"According to the calculations of the main control computer, the enemy only has one warship, and it will arrive in the solar system soon."

At the Mars base, Roshi held a combat meeting against the "Gods" and "Apostles" mentioned by the future Wolverine.

Hill, Corswayn, Pollux and other Space Marines with outstanding command abilities all arrived at the scene, ready to deal with the invading enemy.

As a technical consultant, Tarasim was also brought to the scene by Luo Xi to consult his opinions.

The Necrons have fought many more wars and seen far more enemies than humans.

This is an advantage accumulated by an ancient race, and it is a foundation that is extremely difficult for latecomers to make up for.

"Sir, we have the confidence and the ability to fight against any enemy of humanity.

Given enough time, the Imperial Fists could transform this solar system into an impregnable fortress like the solar systems in the Warhammer Universe.

But even if we don't have time, we can still use the environment within the star system to block the enemy in multiple dimensions."

The representative of the Imperial Fists, Pollax, expressed his opinion. As sons of Dorne, they are the strong shield of the empire and the guards that Roche trusts and relies on the most.

His opinion was also the most cautious and safe. When facing unknown enemies, he would give priority to using the planetary environment for defensive counterattack tactics.

"The enemy only has one battleship. Offense is the best defense."

However, Corswayn expressed a different opinion, saying that the Dark Angels were never defenders, but rather the most brutal exterminators.

"Although there is only one, what if the enemy's warship's technological content is comparable to that of the Necrons, or even more powerful?"

Polux pointed directly at Taraxin who was standing beside him and said that everyone present was Luo Xi's absolute confidant, and they naturally knew the true identity of the sage Taraxin.

But Trazyn scoffed at this.

"I must correct your misconception. Our race's technological level is definitely not something a race that appeared out of nowhere can rival."

Trazyn has a strong confidence in his own race, and this confidence has not diminished even after coming to other universes.

"Our race rose from obscurity, and despite the extremely harsh natural environment and racial disadvantages, we were able to challenge those cold-blooded toads."

“Although our tribe was defeated in the first Heavenly War, in the second Heavenly War, our tribe won over and utilized those Katans and successfully defeated the Ancient Saints Alliance.

And immediately after the war, the Silent King of our tribe successfully backstabbed Katan and blew them into pieces."

The Necrons have witnessed countless powerful civilizations along the way, but they all perished, while they themselves remain standing.

If we were to come to another universe and a civilization comparable to the Necrons suddenly appeared out of nowhere, wouldn't it be a huge joke?

Luo Xi also felt that what Trazyn said made sense. The Necrons might have many aspects worthy of criticism, but the only thing that could not be questioned was their strength.

Being able to smash Katan, the god of the physical universe, and enslave his fragments has proven that this race has reached the pinnacle of the universe.

The Necrons' magical technology is far superior to even humanity's most prosperous dark technological age.

"Okay, I already know what you are thinking." Luo Xi said.

"Whether the opponent is strong or weak, you can only know it by fighting face to face."

"This will be our first battle in this universe. Whether the enemy is weak or strong, we must respond with our utmost strength and attitude."

"Polax led the garrison fleet and the Sentinel Ironmen to build a defense system near Mandeville Point and was in charge of all defense matters."

"Coswayn leads the main fleet, ready for a head-on attack at any moment. I authorize you to use the relic weapons transferred from the Dark Angels' secret vault."

"This first battle must be fought beautifully. We must declare a fact to those damned gods—"

"No being can enslave humanity forever. Not even the Four Chaos Gods, not even the gods of heaven!"

……

After concluding the combat meeting, Costwain immediately returned to the command bridge of his flagship, the Infinite Expedition.

This is a newly built Thundercloud-class planetary battleship. Its length of over 15 kilometers consumes % of the production capacity of the Martian shipyard, but it also gives it a powerful combat capability that is not inferior to that of the New Caliban.

In fact, after leaving the Warhammer universe, Roche was thinking about building some space battleships that were more in line with reality.

The mutant's X-gene bank can radiate to more than just the Primaris Astartes and Sentinels.

For example, the energy absorption ability of the Black King Sebastian Shaw can completely upgrade the original energy shield system, allowing the warship to absorb a large amount of enemy energy attacks and use them for its own benefit.

However, to fully analyze the mutant genes and apply them to space battleships is another even more arduous task.

Luo Xi has only been taking root in this world for too short a time, and his foundation is too shallow. If he is given enough time to develop slowly, even a conservative estimate shows that the war power in his hands can be multiplied several times.

Time flies and it’s a week later.

The subspace monitoring station on Mars collected a series of abnormal peak data, indicating that abnormal subspace fluctuations appeared within the solar system.

"Investigate the suspicious area and report to me immediately."

After waiting for a long time, Coswayn immediately became alert and gave orders.

"There were no unusual reactions at Mandeville Point."

Pollax's voice rang out over the communication channel. His Imperial Fists fleet was currently hiding in the space near Mandeville Point, remaining silent.

All weapon arrays are on standby, ready to launch a shocking counterattack at any time.

If the enemy jumps out from the Mandeville Point, the Imperial Fists will immediately launch a devastating attack, severely damaging the enemy in the first place.

"Our enemies are suspected of having the ability to ignore the Mandeville Point subspace jump, so they may appear from anywhere."

"Prepare to defend, Pollax."

Costwain's voice rang out in the cabin of the Infinity Expedition, and the other warships also received synchronized intelligence.

"Target detected, enemy warships appear in the Saturn space."

"They are traveling very fast in the real universe, and they are not using the physics engine we are familiar with."

"The engine technology they use is superior to ours!"

Janus, director of the think tank, reported that this psychic master who had fused with Magnus' soul fragments possessed powerful psychic powers.

In this universe where the veil is unusually loose, he is able to mobilize far greater power than before in the Warp.

Janus embraced the warp, drawing on its endless power while extending his own psychic power infinitely.

Just like a spider weaving a web, Janus could feel the subtlest traces of psychic energy through those psychic threads.

With Janus' help, Costwain immediately ordered the fleet to begin to retreat in an orderly manner while maintaining a silent and invisible posture.

"Their destination is Earth. We will slowly follow behind them and block their escape route."

Dozens of battle barges began to disperse, while the huge Infinite Expedition served as the core of the formation, weaving together a huge pocket that was approaching the earth.

The Imperial Fists fleet far away at Mandeville Point changed direction, and fleets scattered elsewhere also accelerated to arrive.

Under the command of Coswayn, these warships became a complete whole, operating in almost perfect coordination with each other.

If necessary, he didn't mind sacrificing a few warships to test the enemy's strength.

"It seems that the enemy ships have not found any trace of us yet," said Coswayn.

Janus had been reporting the coordinates of the enemy ship on the communication channel. Its speed began to drop sharply after passing Mars.

Luo Xi, who was waiting in the Mars base at this moment, used his psychic eyes to see the appearance of the enemy ship.

This was a battleship with a cubic shape, and Roche did not see any traces of engines on its surface.

But it is able to decelerate in a short period of time, which means that its power system is very special.

"Interesting, the subspace engine used by this battleship seems to be different from what we imagined." Luo Xi showed an interested look as he watched it pass Mars and head towards the Earth.

Coswayn's worries were finally put to rest.

Compared to them who were on high alert, this enemy warship seemed to show no vigilance at all.

The enemy ships’ stealth capabilities were indeed impressive, but it was very intriguing that they didn’t even check whether the surrounding environment was safe or whether there were any hidden enemies.

Either they don't have the ability, or they simply don't care whether there is a threat or not.

After just one encounter, Coswayn had already formed a detailed psychological portrait of the enemy and concluded that the enemy's commander was definitely not a patient and meticulous person.

The Infinity Crusade and other battle barges began to approach the Earth, biting the enemy ships from a distance.

After entering the gravitational range of the Earth and the Moon, the speed of the enemy ship slowed down completely, and it was almost moving forward slowly relying on its own inertia.

It plunged into the Earth's atmosphere and maintained an efficient stealth state even in a complex atmospheric environment.

The warship carrying the apostles circled the equator and seemed to have collected specific data on the planet's surface. Then it headed straight for North America.

"Strange, how did the earth become like this?"

Serhi, who is friendly to humans, looked at the collected intelligence in surprise and doubt. The data showed that a unified coalition government had been formed on Earth.

She had been to Earth in other parallel universes and rarely saw the human species unite so quickly.

"The explorers have sowed the seeds of mutants here. Perhaps the mutants who possess extraordinary powers have unified the Earth ahead of time." Ikaros said calmly, his hands folded across his chest.

"The timeline has been rewritten. Magneto and Professor X did not break up. They worked together in the X-School. The Brotherhood of Mutants did not appear."

"This has never happened before."

The Celestial Detector has spread mutants to more than one parallel universe. Sersi has even met Professor X and Magneto from another universe, so she naturally has a deep understanding of the personalities and experiences of these mutants.

She quickly flipped through the information analyzed from the electromagnetic signals released by humans, and gained a general understanding of the major events that had occurred on this earth.

She wanted to find out who had rewritten all of this, whether there was something abnormal in the development of the world itself, or whether there was an outsider who had interfered with the development of the world.

"I found it. When the Cuban Missile Crisis broke out on this Earth a year ago, the Dark King Sebastian Shaw was defeated. However, he was not killed by Magneto. Instead, he was captured by a human captive."

The image of Roxi appeared on the curtain in front of Serxi. She compared it with the battleship's database and confirmed that there was no such person in the entire parallel universe created by the gods.

This is a very rare thing. After all, when parallel universes appear, one individual will have countless parallel bodies.

For example, in some parallel universes, Professor X is a woman. Although she is of a different gender from Professor X in the 1661 universe, they are both carriers of the concept of Professor X.

Even some ordinary people like passers-by have their own parallel bodies in parallel universes, but there are very few people who are truly unique.

This deduction means that this person named "Roche" is very likely from outside the universe.

He broke into the laboratories and farms of the gods, thus affecting the normal operation of the universe.

Serxi's mind became clear. Since he was an outsider, all she had to do was eliminate him and restore everything to its original state.

Similar things have happened before, but that was a person from a parallel universe who ran to another parallel universe by chance.

It is like running from the 1661 universe to the 1662 universe. The interference caused by this is much smaller than that caused by a real outsider.

Those people were amazed at the existence of parallel universes and were about to explore them when they were eliminated by apostles sent by the gods to correct the normal development of the timeline.

"In fact, ignorance is better. When you realize that you and countless of your selves are merely livestock in a parallel universe, such a cruel reality is not something everyone can accept," Sersi thought. Ikaris didn't have Sersi's delicate emotions. He demanded information about the person who caused the anomaly and then left his warship.

"Instead of lamenting so much, it's better to take action directly, kill that abnormal person, and complete the mission assigned by the gods as soon as possible."

"We can't afford to waste time on this tiny planet."

Ikaris was wearing a tight combat suit that penetrated directly through the battleship's armor.

The wind whistled past from high above, freezing cold, but it couldn't move Ikaris's psychic-shaped hairstyle.

The Eternals took a deep breath to make themselves more awake.

At his feet is the landmark building called the Empire State Building. Countless skyscrapers stand together, forming the whole of New York.

Block after block is arranged neatly like a chessboard. Flashing neon lights and flowing cars make this most prosperous city in the world show vigorous vitality and energy.

"Humanity."

"A race so insignificant as to be insignificant, yet possessing incredible potential."

Ikaris stood on one foot on the spire atop the Empire State Building, enjoying the feeling of having the world at his feet.

He is a noble Eternal, an apostle created by the gods to serve them. He despises these humans who are like ants, but he does not deny that some humans are indeed very powerful.

In countless parallel universes, there are some humans who are so powerful that they are not from the same dimension as their own kind.

Even a powerful Eternal like Ikaris would be inferior to those people.

"I wonder if there is anyone in this universe who is strong enough to make my blood boil."

Ikaris has a warlike blood flowing in his body, but most of the time, he doesn't have the chance to fight.

Ikaris would feel extremely satisfied if he could fight against some strong people in this mission to correct the anomaly.

"If I want to find that damn abnormal person, the best way is to use the intelligence network of humans on this planet. I don't want to slowly search for him and then find that damn bug."

Ikaris thought, and then he jumped from the top of the Empire State Building, embracing the gravity of the earth in an almost suicidal manner.

But just before he fell to the ground, a powerful spiritual power roared out from his body, holding back his powerful body and avoiding this collision.

Under the influence of the psychic field, he is able to fly in the air and travel at supersonic speed.

The commotion Ikaris made in downtown New York quickly attracted the attention of passers-by.

"What the hell! Flying at high speed in the city airspace, where did these mutants come from?!"

Professor X repeatedly advised mutants to use their abilities with caution and not to disrupt or threaten public order.

I didn't expect there was still a fish that slipped through the net and was recklessly using its mutant ability."

Ikaris's super hearing suddenly picked up a burst of curses, which surprised him.

No, it shouldn't be like this. These weak humans should admire his heroic demeanor. Isn't this the respect that the weak should have for the strong?
Ikaris's figure quickly shuttled through the skyscrapers of New York.

However, his powerful control prevented him from touching the surface of any building, otherwise the steel and concrete would easily turn into dust in his collision.

He was looking for the office location of the so-called Earth United Government in this city. With the help of these mortal intelligence networks, he could save some effort.

A few dozen seconds later, this powerful Eternal landed at the door of the United Government's office building like a missile.

The enormous kinetic energy crushed the concrete floor below, and radioactive cracks spread in all directions.

The strong vibration immediately disturbed the public vehicles, causing them to emit shrill and sharp sounds.

The guards at the door immediately noticed the uninvited guest. They cautiously released the safety of their guns and aimed at Ikaris who was airborne.

"Mutants! Stand still!"

"You violated the law by using your mutant abilities in public, causing public unrest and adverse effects. You will be held legally responsible, boy!"

"We've already notified the people from X Academy, they'll come and take care of you."

"It seems the mutants in this world don't live a very free life," Ikaris thought. "These mortals were surprised to see me, but they weren't afraid. They mistook me for one of those mutants."

“But I haven’t seen many worlds where mortals and mutants live in harmony.

In most worlds, mortals are fighting and killing mutants, or mutants are taking revenge and enslaving mortals."

"Interesting, really interesting."

Ikaris seemed to have heard nothing and strode towards the government hall with his head held high.

His cobalt blue tight combat uniform, dotted with gold patterns, shone with a dazzling luster that stung the guards' eyes.

"Damn, mutants who don't understand human language!"

Only a few sharp gunshots were heard, and the air was filled with the stench of gunpowder smoke. A guard fired a warning shot directly at the mutant who had trespassed into the administrative building.

He did not choose to hit some vital parts, but just fired several shots at the opponent's legs to stop his advance.

But Ikaris's body was as hard as alloy and did not move at all. Even his tight combat suit was not scratched at all.

The deformed bullet fell weakly to the ground. Ikaris smiled helplessly. These humans were always superstitious about the low-level chemical weapons in their hands.

"I don't want to hurt you. Bullying the weak makes no sense to me."

"Tell your government officials to come see me and let us resolve the conflict in a more peaceful way."

Ikaris is an exceptionally proud Eternal, and even among his brothers and sisters, he considers himself the most powerful.

He despises the weak, but he will not bully the weak at will, because God will not be angry with the ants under his feet.

The guard who opened fire had already emptied his magazine of bullets. Looking at Ikaris who was unharmed, he cursed in his heart that he was a mutant with enhanced physical strength.

Although the other mutants have different abilities, their thermal weapons are still effective. However, when they encounter mutants with enhanced bodies, the weapons in their hands become fire sticks.

He immediately signaled his colleagues to notify the government officials in the building to evacuate quickly and call for support from the X-Men.

"Don't be impulsive, young man. Your youth has just begun. Don't make decisions that you will regret for the rest of your life."

"Times have changed. Mutants are no longer discriminated against like they were before. Humans and mutants are now closely connected.

Professor X even published the Mutant Manifesto, calling on mutants around the world to unite and integrate into human society."

"Humanity is also actively accepting you. Your talents and abilities are precious treasures, but you need knowledge to realize them."

"Professor X and his X-Men will be here soon. You are no match for them. I don't know what motivates you to attack a government building, but this is not a wise move."

The leading guard obviously had more social experience. He dropped the fire stick in his hand and kicked it to the open space on the side.

This thing has no use other than angering the powerful mutant in front of him.

"You are a courageous person. You dare to stand in front of me and say these words to me. You are very good."

Ikaris praised sincerely. He could feel that the guard in front of him was using courage to overcome his instinctive fear.

"Someone has interfered with the trajectory of your destiny. It shouldn't have been this way, but change did happen, and I'm here to reverse it and get everything back on track."

The guard was a little surprised. He found that he seemed to have misunderstood the thoughts of the mutant in front of him.

He is not one of those middle school students with a second-year syndrome whose mind is full of superheroes or super criminals described in comic books, and who fantasizes that his appearance can punish evil and promote good.

The guard asked tentatively, "So, according to what you said, our fate has been reversed. What will become of us? What will become of our world?"

The guards' doubts were not without reason. Even ordinary citizens like them felt that the world seemed to be changing too fast.

"So that's what it would be like?" Ikaris laughed.

"In your world, mutants continue to be viewed with hostility, and Professor X and Magneto go their separate ways.

In the distant future, humans and mutants are hostile to each other, humans are hostile to each other, and mutants are hostile to each other."

"Even in the new millennium, everything will get worse, until only humans or mutants are left on this planet."

"Or perhaps the planet will perish in your civil war, and everything will return to eternal silence."

"But your struggle will generate enough emotional power to stir the warp. The pain, anger, seeking, desire and indulgence will all become the prey of the great gods."

"This is your destiny and your value. This is true for millions and millions of you."

Ikaris was also in a good mood, so he spoke a few more words to the mortal in front of him.

But when the guard heard him describe the future like this, his face suddenly changed.

"If you hadn't mentioned it before, I wouldn't have thought there was anything wrong with it, but now, I prefer the future we're in now."

"The future you're talking about is such a pile of shit, even Grandma Daisy's dog next door wouldn't even sniff it, and you want to impose such a terrible future on us?"

"I take back my politeness. You'd better get out of here, you bastard who gave birth to a son without an asshole!"

Ikaris's expression darkened. His face, which was as deep as the ancient Greek statue of David, now revealed a sense of terrifying oppression mixed with coldness.

The atmospheric pressure seemed to begin to rise sharply at this moment. The human guards present felt that they could not breathe, and even their legs began to tremble and become weak.

He disdains to pay attention to the weak, but that doesn't mean he will allow these ant-like humans to insult him.

The pupils of this powerful Eternal warrior began to turn into a brilliant golden color, huge heat rose from them, and the thermal radiation turned into violent heat rays in an instant.

Everything happened so quickly. As soon as the guard finished speaking, Ikaris, who had been quite friendly, suddenly jumped up.

The devastating heat ray hurtled towards the guards, attempting to melt them into slag.

Just as the guards of these government buildings were about to be reduced to ashes, a powerful blue lightning flashed out of nowhere.

All the metal objects around seemed to be held in the palm of an invisible giant hand, flying towards one direction.

The surging lightning and the instantly magnetized metal together blocked Ikaris's high-temperature heat rays.

The powerful magnetic field was quickly cut, and the converted electric current bound Ikaris's limbs like a silver snake.

Countless metals melted into liquid, and magnetic fluid followed closely, trying to solidify on the Eternals' skin.

More and more magnetic fluids were rushing in from all directions, some coming from melted cars and some from underground pipes.

Under the control of one will, they transformed into disciplined soldiers, covering and wrapping around Ikaris' body, binding him into a huge metal ball.

“Who is being presumptuous?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Magneto, wearing a cloak, descended upon the dilapidated government building under the protection of the magnetic field.

The next second, the Red Devil's figure flashed quickly and took away the government guards who had collapsed on the ground.

Professor X arrived soon after. He stroked his temple with his right hand, and activated his telepathic ability to the fullest, trying to control the enemy in front of him who was tightly bound by Magneto.

"Mr. Luo Xi has warned us that there are some enemies with bad intentions who will come to destroy our lives. Now it seems that he is right again."

"My future self warned my present self to be careful of you bastards."

"Let me see who you are!"
