Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 129 Demonic Host
On the forging world of Gria, Mai Mai and Dusk were huddled in their battleship, studying the demon host they had just made.

Previously, during their voyage in the subspace, a succubus appeared on their ship. After being caught by the two men, the succubus tried to seduce them, but because the old man did not give them the coin-minting function, the succubus's temptation was of no use to Mao Yue.

Instead, Maimai and Mu Se had a sudden idea. After binding the lustful succubus, they tried to extract its chaotic energy and injected it into a demon host container exchanged from Old Man Huang.

Generally speaking, making a demon host requires stuffing an entire demon into a container and applying multiple seals to imprison it.

In this way, the demon is bound in the container instead of occupying the body, which makes it very convenient to torture for information or use the demon's power.

And demons that cannot appear in the real world will not be sent back because they stay in the material universe for a long time.

This is not a good thing for the devil either. After all, being bound in a container is equivalent to being imprisoned and sealed, and being enslaved by humans.

Perhaps the demons of Tzeentch's faction don't mind, but the other three families still dislike it to some extent.

Generally speaking, demon hosts are often the result of mutual exploitation among the four demon families. For example, the demons of Tzeentch often exploit the demons of other families to be made into demon hosts.

The Inquisition also likes to make this kind of thing very much. Whether it is used to torture for information related to the subspace, or to deal with other demons at critical moments, this thing is as useful as a reserved trump card.

Just making this thing is a highly heretical act, enough to get an Inquisitor excommunicated.

"Speaking of which, will this really work? There is no demon in this container, only chaotic energy. It can't be called a demon host, right?" Mai Mai looked at the container in front of him that had been made into a mechanical servant, and asked Mu Se uncertainly.

Dusk wasn't entirely sure, but continued, "Isn't that what's written in the ritual book we got? If it's about sealing the demon, it's too dangerous, but if it's just about extracting the demon's power, there's no risk of it losing control."

Although I can't torture information out of the demon, an obedient and useful demon host is also a trump card, isn't it? "

When Maimai and Dusk were in the capital of the Mariupol star zone, they had gotten some good things because of their identities as wandering traders, including a ritual book that was said to explain how to create a demon host.

If you are a local of 40k, you will not only keep this thing a secret and regard it as a taboo, but you will also treat it with secretiveness and caution.

After all, creating a demon host will really summon the Inquisitor, who will then exterminate your entire family.

For Maimai and Mu Se, this thing is not that taboo.

Whether it is the identity of a traveling merchant or the acting Inquisitor, it is enough to ensure that even if Mai Mai does some unorthodox things, he will not violate the imperial law.

As for issues like the Inquisition's investigation, as long as they are not made public, who doesn't have some heresy?
So after the two of them carefully studied the ritual book and understood its contents, they prepared to make a demon host in case of emergency.

Both of them used the adventure mode, relying mainly on their own combat power. Unlike Chen Xi, they could not take out a large army from their pockets, so it was a necessity for them to increase their trump cards appropriately.

"Forget about that, let's try what this demon host can do first!" Dusk seemed to be a little more radical than Mai Mai, and couldn't wait to try this demon host. Mai Mai didn't object to this, but after a slight hesitation, he said to the prepared demon host: "Kill that demon."

Although the imprisoned Slaanesh Succubus had been drained of most of its Chaos energy, it was not killed and was still trapped in the seal that bound it.

It is perfect for testing the newly made demon host.

As soon as Mai Mai finished speaking, the demon host moved. White frost quickly condensed around him, and a spear made entirely of lightning condensed in his hand.

"Psychic power?" Mai Mai was a little surprised, but didn't find it that strange. After all, he was a demon host, so it was normal for him to use psychic power.

Then he saw the demon host use the lightning spear in his hand to pierce through the imprisoned Slaanesh demon, killing it completely.

"The effect is good!" There was excitement in Dusk's eyes. It was obvious that the strength of this demon host was indeed very good.

Although it was a trapped Slaanesh succubus, it was still a high-level demon. It might not be difficult to kill it for Space Marines, but it was strong enough for ordinary people.

Being able to kill it so easily, even if it was a Slaanesh succubus whose energy had been drained, was enough to show that this demon host was indeed quite powerful.

Just when the two were considering whether to make a few more demon hosts in case of emergency, the sage of the Griya Forge World came to them again.

Mai Mai met him in the reception room on the upper deck.

The sage stated directly, "Sir Mailin, the order for the orbital ring has been accepted by the Gria Forge World. The terms are based on the price we agreed upon previously. The Director of Foundry had already approved the order before I arrived."

We will later send a professional team to Rostov II to provide you with services."

This business deal has been delayed for some time, otherwise Mai Mai and Mu Se wouldn't have to bother with the demon host to kill time.

Fortunately, the final result was satisfactory, and the price offered by Gria was acceptable to Rostov.

"This is really good news. I think Lord Chen Xi will also be very happy to hear this news." Mai Mai and the sage were polite, feeling relieved that the matter was finally settled.

"Yes, this is indeed good news worth celebrating." The sage nodded, but then he continued, "Regarding the matter you mentioned earlier about building a giant ring around a star, we have carefully reviewed the information in the database and found that such a thing does exist.

In the distant dark technological age, humans once demolished several planets in a star region, poured the obtained resources onto a certain star, and trimmed this miraculous giant structure around it.

But it has been so long that even the Mechanicus would find it difficult to replicate this feat. It is truly a pity!"

Mai Mai was confused. If it couldn't be built, then why not build it? What was the point of this oil guy coming here and babbling so much?
