Warhammer 40 Spring: Loyalty of the Multiverse

Chapter 105 Beginning to Take Control

"We thought our plan would go smoothly. But we didn't expect you to arrive so quickly. It seems that ever since we made contact with the Sacred Ark, the entire Yuanxing civilization has been under your surveillance?"

The tiny Parx hovered about half a meter above the ground. This made Hart Neff, who was on guard, twitch with excitement.

Is this guy some kind of psychic? He can even levitate! But the crucial point is that Lord Iron Glory emphasized that this world doesn't have psychic subspaces; it's a purely physical universe!
Void Shield probably won't be very effective here.

Parker looked around at everyone, staring at their strange attire. A puzzled expression crept onto his face.

Why are they all dressed like religious knights? Their outfits don't match the sleek, high-tech design of the Ark of the Sacred Heart at all. And he hadn't expected that these Type II civilization beings were actually human.

However, judging from their appearance, they are clearly different from the humans of Yuanxing. After all, their height of over two meters and their heavy armor... Could it be that these alien civilizations are not the Type II civilization behind the Holy Ark?

None of Hart Neff and the others spoke, because... they couldn't understand!

Finally, the Great Sage Yuramirs waved a mechanical tentacle. Then, to Pax's astonishment and fear, a heavily modified servant walked over carrying a panel.

Parks felt like he was about to collapse. Hundreds of years of life experience and worldly wisdom, even for someone as seasoned as him, had never felt anything more terrifying or horrifying than the scene before him.

one person!

A living person!

They simply added some mechanical structures to the surface of the body, turning it into a flesh-and-blood robot with no independent consciousness?

At this moment, in his eyes, this civilization was definitely not the Type II civilization behind the sacred ark. But it was also definitely not a gentle and benevolent civilization. Just seeing this scene filled him with fear. It seemed that the civilization of Yuanxing was about to be destroyed today.

This is a civilization controlled by fanatical and extreme religious elements. Such inhumane behavior only occurs in religious states!
Now, the image of these people—who could still be considered human—could involuntarily pop into his mind. Was the idea of ​​turning the entire Yuanxing civilization into these flesh-and-blood robots standing before him?
The servant ignored his expression and thoughts, because he couldn't understand them either. Instead, he went about his own tasks.

After the panel was erected, it stood there blankly like a shelf.

The panel lit up the next moment, and after a flash, a man with a slightly gentle face but a resolute look in his eyes appeared on the panel.

"Hello! Parks Mimir..."

……

In the vast emptiness of space outside the Asgard space city, the human combined fleet unexpectedly joined forces with the Asgardian fleet for the first time.

However, they did not fully unite, as the deep-seated hatred between humans and Asar was not easily resolved. Neither side could trust the other in a short period of time.

Badr, Hodr, and Hera temporarily put aside their grudges and began to work together to deal with the Type II civilization's fleet.

Unbeknownst to them, Gas was staring at the panel displaying the probability of civilization's continuation. He fell silent. Two panels stood before him: one showing the success rate of the Yuanxing civilization's continuation; the other displaying the progress of Hera's mechanical legion's various plans and missions in their battle against the Allied Forces.

Gath narrowed his eyes as he watched the mission report confirming the successful installation of the pulse device on the Allied warship.

As time went on, the numbers on the panel began to change slowly.

"I am Gas, and my mission is... to continue the Yuanxing civilization."

……

The Yuanxing fleet received the enemy's information immediately. Both Ray Edas and Shak of the Allied Forces looked grim as they read the message delivered to them by the Asar.

In the holographic video, the strange church-like warship with strong religious overtones still employed the flank bombardment tactics of naval warfare during the era of cold weapons.

However, the power of their weapons was such that a single salvo of firepower instantly wiped out nearly half of the Assassin fleet.

However, the weapons on the Assassin warships could not cause the slightest damage to these alien warships.

"The enemy really likes to board and storm into the warships for close combat." Shak looked at the video on the screen and told the meeting attendees the limited information provided by the Asars.

"Furthermore, the enemy soldiers who carried out the boarding assault were extremely strong. According to subsequent intelligence analysis, they should belong to the enemy's elite unit. Such strength could easily defeat or even kill a nanotech soldier." Shak pulled up a document and video and showed it to everyone attending the meeting.

Upon receiving the video, the expressions of these people changed drastically. Rui, in particular, was utterly shocked: "It's Gureid!"

Watching the video, Gureed was overjoyed after successfully ambushing and leaving a wound on the seemingly clumsy armored man's armor. It seemed that as long as the nanobots cooperated well, they also had a chance to kill these strange armored men.

But his joy was short-lived. Just about half a minute later, the battle between Gured and the armored man came to an end.

The armored man's terrifying punch, accompanied by a gale-force wind, sent Greed flying. Its power was so great that it even forced the nanobot Fenrir back into Greed's body.

This scene made everyone's faces turn ugly!
The reason all the Assars looked grim upon receiving the news was the formidable strength of the armored man. The Allied Forces, however, were not only concerned about the armored man's power but also because the Assars possessed other nanotech soldiers!
Those of them with sound minds naturally made the connection; it seemed that their attack might very well have led them into a trap.

"Enemy ships detected! Locked on, requesting attack!" The reconnaissance personnel's voice suddenly rang out from every corner of every warship.

Everyone participating in the meeting via holographic projection on various warships simultaneously turned their heads to look out of the ship's portholes.

Just as their vision cleared, several warships appeared ahead, and suddenly several thick beams of light burst forth in the still calm space, followed by several sparks.

Seeing the fireball from the explosion, it was clear that the alien ship's attack had hit their warship.

"How could they have arrived so quickly?"

Several more fireballs flashed by; at this point, it was no longer important to consider whether they were fast or slow. Now, they had to grit their teeth and charge forward!
The Assassin fleet charged forward first, engaging the Luna-class cruiser in fierce combat. However, due to AI analysis, they did not get too close, instead attempting a kiting tactic using the ship's weapons.

Previous video analysis showed that these cathedral warships primarily relied on weapon arrays on their sides for attacks. Furthermore, some of these attacks involved physical weapons!

Therefore, the analysis report stated that the range was insufficient but the power was enormous!

Therefore, the kite-flying tactic was incorporated into the warship's command system without any hesitation.

However, Barthol, aboard the menstrual cruiser, looked at the Assassin fleet with a complicated expression!

"Charge! Launch a barrage of fire first..." he said, turning and leaving. The Astartes behind him followed in two lines. "Then we'll board!"

"Yes! Your lord!"

……

After dealing with the Assar interception fleet, the other two combat barges also began to split up and advance into the star system!
The Seraph battle barge flew towards the planet Yuanxing. Their mission was to prepare to subdue all forces on the surface and eliminate any resisting armed groups.

And the most important and crucial thing on the entire planet Yuanxing—the Holy Ark!—is located on the surface of Yuanxing.

Meanwhile, the other combat barge, the Blood Angel, headed towards Asgard, providing support to the Luna-class cruisers along the way.

……

"Are you the Type II civilization that created the Ark?" Parks sat obediently in the floating chair like a child. After all, his first impression of this unknown civilization was truly terrifying.

“I’m sorry, we are not! And our target is the Ark you’re talking about... and the civilization behind it!” The person connecting with Parks was Iron Glow, who was sitting on the bridge of the Seraph battle barge.

"Then you..." Parks wanted to ask about the specific origins of this civilization, and at the same time, he wanted to ask about their attitude towards the Yuanxing civilization.

But Tie Hui suddenly waved his hand to interrupt him, "We are not interested in your civilization. However... we are interested in the technology of your Asar and certain other factions."

“I know you are the joint leader of the Assassins and the Allied Forces. Although it’s a misnomer… I think that in some situations, having you personally give the order might ease the tensions between us and avoid some unnecessary conflicts!” After stating his purpose, Tie Hui’s erratic thinking returned as he looked at the silent Pax.

Looking at Parks, who looked like a child, it was simply unbelievable that this guy was actually older than himself.

This technology is indeed amazing, granting immortality... though not in the actual sense. But it's still pretty good. I'll use this technology to lure out the High Lord when I get back... hehehe!

Then modify this technology. Periodically, you'll need to use it to maintain your body, otherwise you'll collapse and die. Then, you'll be able to simply smack your lips and these high lords will wag their tails and come running.

And there's also Robert Guilliman's foster mother, Tarasha Ewton... I just don't know if this old lady is still alive.

If I survive, after developing the technology to maturity in the nanocore world, I will return and have someone escort a nanocore along with the cultivation equipment to Robert Guilliman.

With this favor owed, plus his current connections and status, whether he wants to eat Cantonese food or not will be entirely up to him!
Thinking of this, a Dragon King-like smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

After thinking for a long time, Parks was about to speak when he saw Tie Hui, who was also thinking and had a... uh... "smile" on his face!

He couldn't help but glance at the servant holding the panel, then silently lowered his head again.

Meanwhile, the Emperor, floating in the air behind Tie Hui, stared blankly at Tie Hui, who was still lost in his own fantasies. He then glanced at Tiberius, who stood ramrod straight, and gave a signal with a flick of his head!
"Yes!"

Tiberos cautiously stepped forward. "My lord!" Tie Hui snapped out of his reverie and looked at Tiberos's cautious expression and the gesture he was pointing.

Then it dawned on him, "Excuse me, Mr. Parks! I wonder what your thoughts are going with this?"

Ugh--

Parks sighed deeply, regardless of his final decision. In the end, wouldn't he still have to follow these people's ideas?

So his brief moment of thought was completely pointless!

"I agree to what you said! But I also hope you can keep your promise. Don't harm the people of Yuanxing!" What else can I do if I disagree?
He had also seen the video of Asa's fleet engaging in battle with this civilization's fleet. Not to mention the strength of those fleets!
The nano-soldiers of Asa alone can be said to be the strongest fighting force in the entire Yuanxing civilization. They are the first generation of nano-soldiers cultivated from the five nano-cores that Mimir secretly took from the Holy Ark.

As for the other nano-soldiers, their overall strength is not as great as the nano-soldiers cultivated by the nano-core that comes with the Holy Ark.

However, these first-generation nanotech soldiers were no match for the civilization's bio-engineered humans in a one-on-one situation. If there were only a few of these bio-engineered humans, they could be overwhelmed by sheer numbers.

But right now, he could see more than 20 of them, and there were also several bio-engineered humans wearing even taller and heavier armor.

What else is there to fight?
"Alright! Mr. Parks...it seems we've reached an agreement. Finally, I need Mr. Parks to do us a small favor!"

"What is it?" Parks sensed something, but he didn't say it aloud.

"Naturally, it concerns the Ark... The Asgardians are life forms developed based on the Ark. Therefore, it is naturally the best choice for the Asgardians to activate it... And among the Asgardians, your understanding of the Ark is arguably the greatest in the entire Yuanxing civilization... So, having you personally activate the Ark is the best choice for both of our civilizations!"

"I agree!"

"Alright! Now give the order. Have your fleet cease its attack!"

"I'm sorry! Apart from a few people and systems, I don't have clear command authority over the other forces!" Pax shrugged indifferently, indicating his powerlessness. For example, Asgard's AI, Gas, was created by Pax with the highest priority of continuing the Yuanxing civilization. But unexpectedly, when Gas's ideals clashed with his own, the AI ​​imprisoned its master without his consent.

Tiehui knew these plot points, but he wasn't sure if they were exactly as Pax described. After all, the Asgardians' consciousness could be forcibly taken over by AI Gas. This meant Pax possessed the same rights... provided its level was high enough!
Judging from his unwavering composure in the face of adversity in later episodes, it's likely that his imprisonment by AI Gas was intentional.

Based on this deduction, it's clear that this old man isn't exactly honest either. Tie Hui turned off the communication screen and looked at the Emperor who was floating towards him.

“I can use the psionic energy I transfer to the system to invade his consciousness. But I don’t have much power right now. And according to your intelligence analysis, the consciousness of these so-called Aesir can be controlled and taken over by AI. So I can’t rashly invade his consciousness! If I cause their consciousness to collapse, I won’t gain anything and will just waste my limited energy. That would be troublesome!” The Emperor knew what he was thinking and explained the moment he turned to look at him.

“Okay!” Tie Hui nodded. In any case, their goal in coming to the Nano Core World was to obtain nanobiotechnology and plunder the Type II civilization behind the Holy Ark.

As for other things... well, they'll all be gone by then. They won't be of any use to them anymore, so let's not worry about them!

"Tell Basharol! Destroy that fleet!" Tie Hui turned and gave the final order.

Meanwhile, the combat barge he was on began to slow down, gradually approaching the planetary orbit of Yuanxing.

Large numbers of fully armed mortal auxiliary troops, led by Astartes, landed on Kunpeng and under the cover of Thunder Eagle gunboats around various cities and near the gathering towers on the surface of Yuanxing.

The anti-aircraft guns that opened fire when the mortal auxiliary forces attempted to land, as well as the airfields controlled by some private armed groups, were all destroyed by orbital bombardment the moment the Seraphim battle barge docked in planetary orbit.

The number of dead and injured was countless in a short time!

The city's auxiliary forces and the ground troops of the Allied Forces engaged in fierce fighting with the landed civilian auxiliary forces in cities and wilderness areas.

The weapons they carried were unlikely to damage the armor worn by the mortal auxiliary soldiers. These were hard currency that Ironbright had spent a fortune to acquire from the Great Sage Yuramirs.

It can be said to be top-notch equipment for individual soldier defense in a mortal army. Keep in mind that even the members of the Krieg Death Legion only wore bulletproof fabric.

These bulletproof plates can be penetrated by any gunpowder weapon with even a moderate amount of power. Even an AKA-47 from the 2K era could cause internal injuries to the wearer if it hits them.

So Tie Hui simply abandoned this thing. Now I'm rich, really rich!
If I'm broke, I'll sell my skills...

Unless it's the mechanical legion from Midgard, a surface city directly controlled by the Assars, used to suppress human resistance.

After all, the energy attacks wielded by these robots were truly unreasonable. In the original storyline, they wouldn't even leave a wound on the coalition soldiers, but in space, they could blast apart escape pods with a single shot and even cause some damage to the surface of warships.

But even if they were to intervene, the outcome would already be predetermined!
Without the cover of air firepower, the forces on the surface of Yuanxing were being quickly wiped out by the mortal auxiliary army.

The battle in space had reached its final stage. The mortal auxiliary forces, along with Astartes, boarded these warships.

The mortal auxiliary forces are tasked with controlling these warships, while Astartes provides heavy firepower support and defends against potential attacks from nanotech soldiers.

For example, at this moment, Bartholomew, wearing Terminator armor, is facing an attack from Badr, Luo Zu, Sugar Heart, and others.

At this moment, he was using his tablet to search for images of these people one by one, and the deflection field around him allowed him to ignore the attacks from Badr and the others.
