Forty thousand years later, he became a god in the warp

So many lives were lost in just one passage through the warp, and Terra is still thousands of light years away. Who knows if the same thing will happen again on the journey later.

A "buzzing" sound was heard, and the baffles inside and outside the observation window rose up. The ship had left the subspace and returned to reality, but the surrounding space looked no different.

The crew members also returned to their respective posts. Their mental qualities were much stronger than those of Lin Heng and his companions.

After the mental evaluation, Lin Heng was found to be fine except for being a little dazed. Caroline and Graves were people with negative energy, so the pressure they received was basically negligible compared to that of Lin Heng.

The cabin was busy, so Lin Heng didn't plan to ask for details. He went back to the room and fell asleep. He didn't know how much time had passed, but he didn't have any dreams.

"How long have I slept?" Lin Heng asked.

"Well...it's only about ten minutes. Is it uncomfortable?" Caroline asked.

"No, it feels like I'm trapped in a void. This warp is really terrifying. I wonder what the Empire is fighting against."

Lin Heng was frightened when he thought of it, and Caroline clenched her fists. What kind of situation would they encounter next? Would they encounter any dangerous phenomena?

...

In the cockpit, Captain Yulena wiped the metal sword in her hand, which was nearly as tall as a person. There were still traces of blood on her armor from the battle. Looking at the raised deck, she wondered what kind of creatures were waiting for them in the endless universe.

'Captain, more than 100 crew members died this time, and about 150 were injured. And more than half of the psykers that provided energy for the Geller Field were drained.

The number of casualties is far beyond the average... Could it be the new psychic? 'The senior Sister of Silence said in sign language.

'The Astronomican experts on board have already started investigating, but we don't know if there will be any results, so it would be best to have the Imperial Navy send out a fleet to protect us before we fall into the Warp channel again.

The astropath's tone was very certain, so I also found a crew member to establish a spiritual connection with him.

The conclusion is that it was a direct order from Terra! Although I don't know what use this kid has, we just need to ensure that he arrives safely on Terra. 'The captain signed.

Those silent nuns looked solemn, worried about what would happen next.

But what you fear will come true. Just as they had finished putting on their armor, they heard the crew member in charge of observation shout:

"Captain! Space pirate ships have been spotted in three directions ahead, heading towards us!"

Several silent sisters looked at each other and saw the weirdness in each other's eyes. Logically, the space pirates were not interested in them.

One reason is that their warships are generally weaker than the Empire's navy. The black ships were built specifically to detain psychics, and although they were not warships, they were much more powerful than those merchant ships.

Secondly, they usually care about merchant ships and civilian ships carrying goods. The most valuable goods on the black ships are basically psychics looted from all over the place, which they don't need, so why do they want to take action?

The most crucial thing is why the other side has such a large number of ships. Although most of their warships are small ships less than one thousand meters long, they can still be defeated by a large number of ants.

Without time to think, Captain Yulena immediately ordered the void shield to be activated, and opened fire without warning! Then the huge macro cannon on the ship's deck slowly turned and aimed at the space pirates who tried to approach.

"Energy recharged, two volleys!"

In the silent space, two blazing red beams seemed to penetrate the galaxy and rushed into the space between the pirates' warships. The next second, a rolling fireball erupted in the distance.

Those warships understood the power of the cannon and immediately scattered. They used the flexibility and numbers of their own warships to rush over quickly.

No matter how powerful the macro cannon is, those that require time to reload, and the next shot can hit the target, is just one of them.

"Speed ​​up the ship, they can't catch up with us. Let's get out of here first, the situation is not right, who is the nearest planetary governor, call him for support immediately!" the captain signed.

Lin Heng and the other person also noticed that something was wrong. They looked out through the viewing window and saw the red light of the laser beam constantly lighting up. Lin Heng knew something was wrong. Just when Caroline wanted to ask, the alarm sounded again.

"Attention everyone, we have encountered a large group of space pirates. Please prepare your weapons and stay at your posts to prevent the enemy from boarding you!"

"Space pirates?"

Lin Heng suddenly realized that Caroline's parents were brutally murdered by pirates. How could such a thing be encountered in such a vast space?

Lin Heng looked at Caroline. As expected, as soon as she heard the words "space pirates", she immediately gnashed her teeth and stood up to run out.

"Hey! Wait!"

"Don't stop me!"

"Why should I stop you? They are all setting off firecrackers outside. How can you help?" Lin Heng stopped Caroline and said.

"Space pirates will never destroy any ship easily. Their ultimate goal is always to board the ship!

The void shield is simply unable to withstand something that is moving slowly, so instead of engaging in a head-on attack, they will definitely board the ship and come over.

By then, every pipe on the ship will be hiding a killer! People will be dying in every corner!"

"Then let's go to the command room first and check the situation of the ship!" After Lin Heng said that, he took the lead, and Caroline bit her lip and followed him.

...

"The broadside rapid-fire guns fire freely! Do your best to stop the approaching ships!" Grave translated the captain's orders, and was very worried about the pirate ships that were firing in the distance.

"Report: Void Shield still has 60% energy."

"Keep it up! Have you contacted the nearest planetary governor?"

"Report, we have contacted the planetary governor of Morlock. He said he would arrive in three hours."

Yulena frowned. If the battle line could be sustained for three hours, the Jose might be able to hold out until reinforcements arrived. The firepower on the ship was enough to support and destroy many enemies.

But the most crucial thing is the boarding battle of those pirates who are prepared to avoid the void shield.

"Report! The void shield energy is still 50%!" said the crew member.

"Why is it falling so fast?!"

The crew did not need to answer this question because everyone had already seen where the problem lay. In the direction the Jose was escaping, there was a ship of similar size docked.

The red rays grew from small to large and instantly bombarded their void shield. The entire Jose was shaking violently.

Yulena came to the telescope and saw the attacker through the telescope. Suddenly, veins on her forehead stood out like slender green snakes.

The Chaos rebels in the telescope began to show their prowess. Transformed by the Chaos power of the Warp, the enemy's ships were no longer Gothic ships like the Jose.

Instead, it adds more spikes and exposed armor on the original basis, making it look very dangerous.

Pictures from Battlefleet Gothic 1

The most distinctive feature is probably the symbol engraved on the deck, an octagonal star composed of two circles and eight arrows. It is like a wheel made of thorns, with an indomitable spirit and the thought of eternal pain.

"They are bastards from the Warp, rebels who defected to Chaos! Have all crew members prepare their weapons, increase the strength of the biological positions, and prepare for a boarding battle! Sister Silent, go guard Lin Heng!" Yulena said in sign language.

So Grave immediately took her colleagues to surround Lin Heng. When the hatch opened, they happened to meet Lin Heng and Caroline who came.

"Lin Heng, it's great. Please follow us to the center of the ship. Now there is another Chaos Rebel warship.

The reinforcements won't arrive for a while, and the situation will soon become chaotic!" Grave said.

"Are you sure they are here to find me? If you are finished, I will definitely not survive. Instead of waiting for death to come, I might as well fight to the death and kill a few of those scums!"

When Lin Heng heard that he was asked to hide, he immediately refused.

"Everyone move! You must be the most powerful fighters on the ship. It would be a waste of your abilities to use them to protect me alone. Give me weapons. I am not afraid of fighting!"

Captain Yulena came over and signed.

"The captain said, then you can choose for yourself. If anything happens, you must follow my arrangements."

Greve translated. Then Yulena discussed it with him again, but the rest of the situation was not translated.

"I understand Captain, let's grab our weapons and head downstairs. It will be safer with the Shoggoth priests."

After saying that, Grave took the two away from the scene and went to the armory to select equipment.

"Reporting, the void shield only has 20% energy left. Our path is basically locked, Captain, what should we do?" said the crew member.

Then Yulena stepped forward, pressed the button to shut down the void shield, and turned on the power switch, causing the ship to float in a straight line at a constant speed relying on inertia.

Then he picked up the executioner's sword next to the throne and stabbed it into the deck with a bang.

The crew members immediately understood his intention and started to prepare.

"Attention everyone, void shields have been shut down and engines have been shut down. The nearest reinforcements will arrive in three hours.

These three hours will be a matter of life and death for you, and the only things you can trust are your weapons and your companions.

Guard every passage, withstand every wave of attack, you are the pride of the empire, the sacred emperor is watching us!"

"Your Majesty the Emperor!"

All the crew members who heard the broadcast from the loudspeaker shouted their slogans in unison.

They gathered from all directions, moved equipment from various armories, guarded the corridors in all directions, closed the gates and blocked the observation windows, quietly waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

Lin Heng and the other two put on their armor, carried their weapons, and pulled the bolts of their guns.

Everyone was prepared to face the danger.

"boom!"

"Free fire!"
