This is our Warhammer journey

Chapter 19: The Emperor? When did he come?
"Serving you is the divine mission given to me by Om Messiah."

Because there are a considerable number of people within the Mechanicus who believe that the Emperor is the representative of the Om Messiah on earth, the Astartes, one of the Emperor's creations, is sacred and inviolable in the eyes of the Mechanicus members, especially the Gene-Priests.

This is the Emperor's creation, the pinnacle of genetic engineering combined with the power of the Om Messiah.

Of course, this attitude does not prevent them from secretly exercising their imagination occasionally in the process of cultivating gene seeds.

Although this mechanical priest was not one of them, he also maintained the necessary respect.

Especially when facing an Astartes who is of extraordinary height and can kill Chaos Terminators in one-on-one combat.

Since the Extreme Warrior has promised to pay for the materials for his surgery, if he doesn't give him face, he must be thinking of dying.

Does he want to die?

That definitely means he doesn't want to die.

So he took the step given to him by Romulus with an extraordinary reaction, respectfully performed the gear salute to the two angels, and then obediently brought his technical monk to the operating table blessed by the nuns.

The Mechanical Priest then ordered the soldiers guarding the prosthetic warehouse to open the compartments where the prosthetics were stored, intending to witness the exquisite craftsmanship from other forging worlds.

Then he looked at the replacement prosthetic material and fell into deep thought.

This model, this quality, and this precision
Looking at the nuns who were still marking the purity mark on the surface of the prosthetic limbs, the mechanical priest resisted the urge to stop these foolish fanatics from destroying their perfect structure.

There are too many.

He could even use these prosthetics to transform a group of serfs into a force of Skitarii rivaling an entire regiment of Astra Militarum infantry.

Are there so many prosthetics for Ryza-3 leaked?

Picking up a set of respiratory system prostheses with steel stamps on them, the Mechanical Priest began to cut them in the horrified eyes of the Astra Militarum. His electronic eyes, filled with countless doubts, stared straight at the prostheses in the warehouse, and his limbs waved smoothly, as if they had been rehearsed countless times.

In less than thirty seconds, the Astra Militarum soldier was taken off the operating table by the nuns with a puzzled look on his face.

Don't be confused, the robotic arms of these oil men are fully capable of performing precise operations at the atomic level. For them, reconstruction surgery is a simple removal and connection.

"It seems he is very skilled."

Arthur breathed a sigh of relief.

"Because they were all swept out from him, oh, and his little treasury."

Romulus replied seriously.

In order to ensure that all the prosthetic materials for each part were available, Karna also checked the inventory of these gear boys.

If they hadn't deliberately edited the production code, the mechanical priest would probably have doubted his life.

"Feel sorry."

Arthur said to Romulus, "I acted on my own initiative."

"That's ridiculous. You have to understand that we're short of men but not equipment right now. These Astra Militarum troops are a valuable source of combat power. Whether they're assisting in future conflicts or leveraging their military might to gain leverage with allies,... Uh, why are you talking about saving people in such a utilitarian way?"

Romulus slapped his forehead in frustration.

"What's wrong with saving people anyway?"

Arthur took the lead because he had an idea. After all, no one else could think of any excuse at the moment.

After all, for an army like the Empire, which is both religiously fanatical and death-worshiping, you can't just say, "It would be too tragic for you to die like this. We don't want you to die, so keep living."

If these words were to be spread out, these Star Army soldiers would probably commit suicide on the spot.

On the contrary, Arthur's plan not only provided a stepping stone, but also boosted morale and provided a very appropriate way to absorb these interstellar troops.

After all, no loyal warrior of the Imperium would refuse the honor of marching into battle and dying alongside an Astartes.

"But to be honest, I'm not optimistic about their future." Arthur looked at the soldiers who were reborn with the help of prostheses.

All the nice words have been said, but the problem must be solved.

"If the influence of the Warp on their minds cannot be eradicated, their fall from the influence of Chaos is inevitable."

Aside from the instances where the Four Gods couldn't afford to play and ended up dead, Chaos' corruption isn't actually that violent, more like an omnipresent hint.

Maybe people with strong wills will not be easily corrupted, but they will have constant whispers in their ears, or various psychological hints that affect their senses, and over time they will not be able to withstand the natural corruption.

Even elite troops like the Voskani Heavy Armored Corps were corrupted and rebelled during the long-term battle against Chaos, and killed the then Lord of Cadia during a joint military parade with Cadia.

"As I said before, dying on the battlefield will be their best outcome."

"indeed."

Romulus also nodded with a heavy expression.

"The ways this world can resist the influence of the Warp are too harsh."

Death, especially death on the battlefield, is indeed a sad ending for time travelers.

It is hard to imagine that among the thousands of people still alive on this ship, the probability that they will survive to the end of their lives is no more than the number on one hand.

And death is only the beginning.

Unlike the Space Marines who can ascend to the Golden Throne as long as they remain loyal and pure and fight for the Emperor until death.

Except for a few living saints or those terrifyingly devout nuns of the State Religion, the souls of mortals like the Astra Militarum will directly enter the Warp after death.

If you are lucky, the Emperor will sense you and give you a hand. If you are averagely lucky, your ignorance will naturally dissipate after a period of time. If you are unlucky, then just wait to become food for the devil.

Given the current subspace environment, it would be very unlucky for a soul to enter it nakedly.

After all, there is only one Emperor, but there are four evil gods of the Warp.

The four gods have been rummaging through your pockets, and it's considered a great achievement if you can keep some of your money from being taken out.

Arthur pondered for a moment, recalling theoretical methods of resisting the influence of the warp.

The Star Gods, the embodiment of these physical laws, will themselves create extremely stable reality barriers around them to isolate them from the influence of the subspace.

However, the Star God is of similar weight to the Four Gods. Unless someone like Old Man Huang shows up and asks, "Do you think I look like a human or a god?", you can basically ignore him.

Next are the three methods of the Eldar.

The Dark Eldar ensure their own survival by absorbing the spiritual power of other races, and at the same time rely on metaphysical technology to ensure that they are not so easily killed.

The Ark Eldar rely on soul stones to protect their souls, and after death they will enter the eternal circuits constructed by soul bones in the Ark worlds.

The Savage Eldar live on planets with world souls, and after death they directly merge with the world soul of that planet.

Of course, the easiest way is to let the Emperor notice you before the Four Gods catch you, and then you will be worth making him expend his energy to get you.

In short, there are still many methods, but they are somewhat harsh.

"Your Majesty the Emperor!"

A cry of surprise interrupted Arthur's thoughts.

It is light!

Arthur turned around and saw a sacred golden light emanating from the bodies of the Astra Militarum soldiers.

The Emperor? When did he come?
