The Bizarre Adventures of the Oil Man, but Starting with Warhammer 32K

But when it comes to dragons on Mars, there can only be one.

The ancient star god who controls technology - the Void Dragon Magladros.

But the Void Dragon should be buried under the midnight maze of Mars, which is tens of thousands of miles away from the lava city where he is. How can they be connected?

It was a difficult question to ask Dalia directly. Leon composed his words and asked indirectly, "Why did you attack Inquisitor Fratilena?"

"To prevent her from being exposed to secrets she shouldn't be exposed to. He accidentally walked in here while searching for Vashtor's secrets. It's for his own good to knock him out."

"Then I will be knocked unconscious by you like this?"

"No, it's you that someone wants to see."

Li Ang clicked his tongue. He was quite skeptical about whether the person who wanted to see him was actually a human being. "Are you taking me to see him?"

"No, I won't let Him see you."

Where did the Riddler come from?

Dalia did not continue to answer Leon's questions. She pushed open a door, and Leon discovered that there was a laboratory behind her.

At the other party's signal, Li Ang entered the laboratory with him.

He looked around and immediately realized where he was.

"Korilzes's laboratory."

He no longer needed Miria's guidance. Following the vision, Leon walked around several corridors and found a broken device standing in the center of the hall. The location was exactly the same as shown in the vision.

"That's... an Akashic reader?"

A divine artifact said to be able to obtain all knowledge in the universe.

If used properly, such a thing could be as valuable as the Black Library, which houses all the knowledge of the Eldar.

Leon wanted to touch her, but Dalia, who came up from behind, held his hand down.

"It's only been started successfully once, and it's broken."

This was something he had learned from the illusion before, and Leon smacked his lips regretfully.

He wanted to ask the other party if they were willing to give up the wreckage. Maybe he could unlock some new technology by dismantling it.

But Dalia's next words made Leon suddenly shut up.

"But I can fix him."

Oh my god, so awesome?

Li Ang made a gesture of invitation, sincerely inviting Dalia to start the performance.

Dalia took a step forward and raised her palm. A faint green energy surged through her hand and poured into the damaged Akashic reader. Driven by this force, the device began to self-adhere and repair itself.

The energy of the same color as the Void Dragon made Leon understand that the Dragon Guardian could probably borrow some of the Void Dragon's power.

But it was only partial power after all. The Akashic Reader was damaged too badly, and some parts of it were simply beyond its ability to repair itself.

Fortunately, Dalia was very familiar with this device. She increased her output and finally constructed the irreparable parts with pure energy.

How could you even do something like this?

Li Ang couldn't help but sigh at the power of the Star God.

Compared to Vashtor who can only play some pirated viruses and assemble defense models outside, the power of the Void Dragon is indeed worthy of the name of the God of All Machines.

However, even this kind of work was very strenuous for Dalia. Her face began to turn pale, and the power gathered in her hands began to dissipate.

These overflowing forces were insignificant at first, but they gradually gathered together and finally rushed towards Leon with a clear goal.

"Holy shit, what's going on?"

Leon, who was admiring the miracle, had never expected this to happen. He had no time to dodge and was suddenly hit in the face by the energy.

The cold, dark green energy covered him, and in a trance, Leon felt that he was being pulled into a space constructed by this force.

Leon raised his head and saw the Void Dragon imprisoned deep in Mars.

Did he really see it?

Leon was unsure. The dark green energy field and the pixel-like mottled cracks on the other party's body made it difficult for him to see clearly. He didn't know whether the huge prisoner was Magradroth.

But the other party obviously saw Li Ang clearly, and he roared, as if speaking some language that ordinary people could not understand.

Of course, Leon could not understand the language of the Star God. Fortunately, the humiliation of being imprisoned for hundreds of thousands of years and the joy of seeing a savior had flooded into his mind, allowing him to understand Magradros's language emotionally.

“New rules,” He said.

“Creation,” He said.

"My savior"

"hope"

"fail"

"disappointment"

"Killer"

Reinventor

Destroyer

"Leon"

He heard all of this in an instant. Hundreds of voices mixed together, making Leon dizzy and unable to distinguish clearly.

Li Ang didn't want to communicate with the Void Dragon anymore. He just wanted to clear his mind. But he had no idea how to get rid of the other party's entanglement.

He took a few steps back in this chaotic space as an experiment, but unexpectedly he really retreated from this dark green space.

This step back bumped into Dalia, who held Leon back from falling to the ground.

What are you doing? Is this still Mars?

I haven't even reached the golden toilet yet, so how come I'm enjoying the same treatment as Guilliman?

Bewildered, Leon looked at Dalia, trying to figure out if the Dragon Guardian knew anything. But the moment his eyes met Dalia's, he realized the Dragon Guardian was watching him with a wary gaze.

"Did you see Him?"

"If you mean the one underground on Mars."

"Have you been affected in any way? Like having your thoughts confused?"

"He did want to say something to me, but I just stepped back and got rid of him."

"But you don't look like that."

Following Dalia's scrutinizing gaze, Leon discovered that his body was actually flashing with the same faint green light as the Void Dragon.

He stood up and tested it, but found that there was nothing wrong with the equipment on his body.

There was no strengthening or weakening, and no interference. Even the faint green light finally did not enter his body and disappeared into thin air.

At least on the surface, nothing has really changed.

This test won Dalia's trust. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. 'He's not a friendly individual to humans.' He was defeated long ago and imprisoned deep underground on Mars. No matter what he says, don't believe him."

"You seem to know everything clearly. Is it because you are His guard?"

"Strictly speaking, a caretaker. Through the knowledge provided by this device, I learned of the existence of the Void Dragon and was chosen to become the new Dragon Guardian."

Her fingers brushed over the Akashic Reader, a look of reminiscence crossing her face.

"The uniqueness of this identity allows me to share some of His memories. But His thoughts are fragmented and confused, and even I can't distinguish between truth and falsehood."

"So you're battling memory every day? Just like I was just pulled into the illusion?"

"Not really. He was dormant most of the time until you and the Imperial Fists arrived on Mars, when he suddenly became unusually active."

Leon nodded thoughtfully.

To be honest, he originally thought that what Dalia said at the beginning about someone wanting to see him but she wouldn't let him go was referring to the yellow-skinned guy, but he didn't expect it to be the Void Dragon.

Of course, he finally met the real boss.

Although he still didn't understand why the real person wanted to meet him.

It can't be that this is just to make myself empathize with the Thirteenth Prince, right?

He decided not to dwell on the problem for the time being, as Dalia had already fixed the Akashic Reader.

The situation has returned to the main topic for the time being.

The dark green energy covering the Akashic Reader was unstable, and it seemed that the energy that forcibly drove the reader might collapse at any time.

Dalia checked the machine one last time and then emphasized to Leon:

"You only have one chance to use it."

"Is this enough? We don't need to kidnap a psychic to use as fuel?"

The Akashic Reader is a tool for salvaging knowledge from the warp. Leon learned from the illusion that its usage follows the fine tradition of "this psychic must be burned" within the empire.

He expressed doubt about Dalia's claim that it could already be used. Dalia simply explained: "There's no need. Its final reserve of knowledge is already inside. This is your only chance to understand it. Seize it."

Leon shrugged and took the position of the recipient of knowledge. Dalia activated the reader, and immediately, a huge amount of information flooded into Leon's mind.

Leon understood what its final store of knowledge was.

This is how the Akashic Reader is made.

This is indeed more important than any other knowledge. Leon concentrated on understanding this knowledge, but his unmodified brain really had a hard time understanding it.

Li Ang always felt like he was back to the time when he was still in school before he traveled through time. No matter what the teacher explained, the knowledge would slip away from his smooth brain.

His golden finger is indeed unrivaled, but when it comes to the talent for understanding the Warhammer world, Leon is actually far inferior to true geniuses like Cawl.

Could it be that the knowledge of how to create an Akashic Reader would just slip away like that?

Li Ang reluctantly tried again, but it was futile for him to do it alone.

Just when failure seemed inevitable, the dark green energy that had been absorbed into Leon's body suddenly surged out.

They grasped the manufacturing knowledge of the Akashic Reader like tentacles, and forced this knowledge into Leon's mind.

The Akashic Reader crashed and was completely scrapped, and Leon was freed from the reader.

The aftereffects of the forced infusion hadn't yet faded, and Leon felt a little unsteady on his feet. He tried to recall, and found that the knowledge had indeed been deeply imprinted in his mind.

“That power…”

There is no doubt that it is the power of the Void Dragon.

Li Ang hadn't noticed anything unusual about himself before, but he didn't expect that the Void Dragon's influence on him would be reflected here.

They are like a converter, helping Leon convert things he cannot understand into a form he can understand.

The price he paid was that Leon discovered that the Void Dragon power stored in him had obviously decreased, apparently consumed by this process.

So the Void Dragon is actually helping himself?

Li Ang frowned, unable to understand why this Star God did this.

If he wanted to know, he might have to ask the Void Dragon himself, but Dalia would not let him communicate with the Void Dragon again, and he himself had no intention of seeing the Void Dragon again in the short term.

A fragmented Void Dragon doesn't seem to be able to form effective and fluent expressions, and that kind of communication method is not something that everyone can bear.

Could it be that the yellow-skinned man ten thousand years later learned the same tricks as the Void Dragon?

After obtaining the knowledge of manufacturing the Akashic Reader, the desire that originally urged Leon in his heart disappeared.

Leon, understanding that this desire was the work of the Void Dragon, had no intention of lingering any longer. Concerned about the situation outside, he carried the still unconscious Frati Reina and said, "I have to go out."

Dalia nodded: "I'll go with you."

"What about Neos and Evil Sun?"

"You'll see that greenskin and that...human on your way out."

-

Vashtor, with a bleeding heart, had noticed Leon's unusual movements.

He saw it clearly on Titan: the Astartes who were packing up suddenly put aside their production line and their evacuation plan, and instead set up a defense line next to a crack in the ground.

Vashtol had no idea what they were doing, but he understood this was an opportunity.
