A huge alien almost made of psychic energy with blue bird feathers on its body, and a machine soul that has become cunning and talkative... ?
"No matter what happens later, don't be surprised, and don't take action." Li Ang, who felt that he had grasped the key to the problem, gave special instructions. He pulled out a data cable from his body and connected it directly to Wuwei, injected his own code into it, and tried to explore the situation.
As expected, the Dauntless wakeup program had become quite chaotic, with a mountain of junk code piling up and growing rapidly.
Li Ang did some rough calculations and found that if he waited for the program to finish running all the junk code and finally start up, it would take about nine thousand years.
Well, just in time for the Battle of Cadia.
Li Ang was too lazy to bother with so much junk code, so he decided to go directly to find the person who created this junk code.
He symbolically deleted some of the junk code. Sure enough, the blue data stream, noticing the junk code it had created had been deleted, rushed over. Even before the other party arrived, Leon had already received the other party's provocation in binary code:
"Heppa, you can't save your Captain! Just like your Captain can't save your Primarch! Your fate has already been determined... Hey? Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter to you who I am. After all, you don't need to remember so many things when you're about to die."
Looking at the big demon with blue bird feathers in front of him, Leon smiled amiably: "But you, did you see the fate that would destroy you today?"
PS: The last one is a mutual recommendation... I say mutual recommendation, but actually I feel like I am trying to climb above my station 2
The Bizarre Adventure of Cloud Hammer
I don't need to say much about the value of this book with 10,000 subscriptions. The writing style is light-hearted and humorous, and the idea of several good brothers joining forces to travel to Warhammer is also refreshing. As long as you are interested in Warhammer, this is a book that you must read anyway.
I have read Cloud Hammer before I started writing this book. I have thought about writing a lighter version of Cloud Hammer, but I can't control the same writing style as the big boss. I can only write a slightly harder version of Warhammer that I can write.
I originally thought that writing like this would be quite niche, but after seeing everyone's feedback, I feel it's pretty good. Now that I have been recognized by the big guys, I feel a little more confident.
Finally, I would like to thank all the readers and Mr. Yunchui for their kindness. I would also like to thank a friend in particular. I did not even dare to ask Mr. Yunchui for mutual promotion. It was that friend who took the initiative to ask for my help and seized this opportunity.
In addition to the fact that Mr. Yunchui is very kind, this friend also made great contributions. I did nothing.
As for what I can do, I can only say that the book has not been signed yet. After the signing, I will see if I can speed up the update.
Chapter 7: Technological Exorcism
"Arrogant mortal!"
The blue data stream in front of him was obviously angry, its code jumped, and then turned into the image of the traditional Tzeentch Demon composed of binary code - a humanoid monster with a lizard head and bird wings.
He flapped his wings and circled in front of Leon. "Even that technical sergeant didn't dare to communicate with me like this. How dare you, a mere mortal, be so presumptuous?"
"He's being so polite to you simply because he doesn't know who you are."
Li Ang bluntly pointed out the truth: "Why, you're trapped here and don't even think about leaving. You're pretending to be a Machine Spirit and playing house with a Tech Sergeant who doesn't know Demons. Do you think this level of conspiracy can satisfy your evil taste? That's really embarrassing for that bird-headed man above you, isn't it?"
Unlike the era of the Great Heresy when demons were rampant, during the Great Crusade before the update, not only the Space Marines, but even the Primarchs had little concrete knowledge of the Warp and demons. The Empire, which was still promoting the Imperial Truth, did not acknowledge the existence of demons.
Although demons occasionally invade the real universe, they are basically simply classified as aliens.
Leon was not surprised that Sergeant Haipa regarded this demon as a machine spirit, but he was very interested in why this demon was here.
Unsurprisingly, Li Ang's words infuriated the Great Demon. He flapped his wings and angrily shouted at Li Ang, "Mortal! What do you know about the Lord? The Lord's plan is interconnected and flawless. I am also a part of the Lord's plan here! How dare a mortal like you speculate on the deeper meaning of this?"
He surrounded Li Ang, his eyes revealing undisguised greed. "It just so happens that I've been here for a full thousand years. For all of this time, I've only been able to survive on the cold energy input from the outside world, which hasn't satisfied me at all! Today, I'll use you as a decoy and let me devour the soul of this audacious mortal!"
As he spoke, the Great Demon of Tzeentch could not wait to manipulate his data stream, engulfing Leon. He intended to follow Leon's code and try to enter Leon's body along the data line in the opposite direction. However, Leon was too lazy to resist. He allowed the Great Demon of Tzeentch to perform his tricks, and even took the initiative to open up access to it.
The great demon Tzeentch couldn't wait to get in, but he went in quickly and came out even faster. In just the next second, he ran out of Leon's body screaming.
The Great Demon Tzeentch was covered in smoke, and his eyes were full of anger and fear as he looked at Leon.
"Are you a soulless person?!" Tzeentch shouted angrily, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"
"I thought you were asking too."
This time, it was Leon who pressed on, and the Great Tzeentch retreated nervously. "What? Where's that arrogance you had just now? Aren't you the Great Tzeentch who knows fate? Don't you still have no idea of your own fate?"
The Great Demon Tzeentch steeled his resolve. He closed his eyes and stretched out his neck, ready to be slaughtered. "Go ahead and kill me! We demons are unkillable! Remember me, mortal! I'll come back for you one day!"
Leon raised his eyebrows in surprise. He didn't expect that a great demon like Tzeentch could have such integrity.
However, considering that this great demon Tzeentch was probably forced to enter Dauntless to play the role of an electronic demon because his real-world body was killed by the veteran in Dauntless, this Dauntless is more like a cage for him.
The previous Hepa technical sergeant probably didn't have the ability to take over someone else's body, and now Leon is a soulless person who can recognize his identity. Leon thinks he probably wanted to go back to the subspace to read the resurrection bar a long time ago.
Under other circumstances, Leon would definitely not let the demon go so easily. Unfortunately, Leon had neither the Mechanicus's exorcist incense nor the special servitor that played the Om Messiah prayer over and over again with a loud speaker.
Since it was impossible to torture this demon with a technological exorcism ritual, Leon simply wrote an antivirus program, intending to hurry up and send this demon, Tzeentch, to his death.
But the moment the antivirus program written by Leon encountered the Great Demon Tzeentch, the Great Demon Tzeentch jumped up like a frightened cat.
"No, no!" He screamed and moved away from Leon. Leon looked at him strangely, not understanding what he was doing.
"Didn't you ask for death? Why are you running away?" Li Ang asked.
"Right, right?" Tzeentch was still a little hesitant. He cautiously approached and touched the antivirus program, then screamed and ran away: "No, no!"
Leon looked at the strange behavior of the Great Demon Tzeentch, thought about it, and replaced the antivirus program he wrote with the universal version widely circulated in the forge world.
The Tzeentch demon suddenly became excited again: "Right, right!" The excited demon rushed towards the universal antivirus program with the momentum of a rainbow piercing the sun, as if he wanted to ram himself into it and die.
Seeing him like this, Li Ang, who had a rough idea in his mind, immediately replaced the universal version with the program he wrote.
Such a sudden change made the Great Demon Tzeentch scream. He struggled desperately, trying his best to stop his previous momentum of wanting to crash into the antivirus program and stop abruptly in front of the changed antivirus program.
He looked at Li Ang in confusion and wonder: "Are you a follower of the Corpse, or a lackey of the Star God? What sin have I committed to deserve running into someone like you?"
Leon keenly grasped the key words. He looked at the Great Demon with interest: "Why? The cost of returning to the subspace is too much for you to bear?"
"It's worse than that!" screamed the Great Demon of Tzeentch, but he immediately lowered his voice and put on a negotiating attitude: "How about this, let me go, and before I go, I can answer nine questions for you. As long as I know everything, I will tell you everything!"
“Why nine questions?”
"This is the Lord of Change's rule." The Great Demon of Tzeentch said with a bitter face: "If I violate this rule, unless the Lord of Change himself grants me special mercy, even if I return to the Warp, I will not be resurrected by the Lord of Change."
"Okay, then tell me why you don't want to be killed by me."
"This is the only thing that won't work!" The Great Demon Tzeentch screamed again.
"Then tell me the true name of the Lord of Change?"
"You..." The demon began to get angry and embarrassed, "You don't even think about letting me go!"
"Didn't I raise the issue?" Li Ang spread his hands. "You're not good at this or that, and it's really difficult for me."
"Conspiracy! I can tell you what conspiracy my superior has against their Primarch! I can also tell you my real name, so that I can never betray you! Or you can make me into a weapon, and I can serve you in it!"
The Great Demon of Tzeentch pleaded, "If you only let me go, I will... ah, ah - I curse you, soulless one, I will curse you forever with my life!"
"Don't worry, it's just a pain. Count the stains on the ceiling and it will be over soon."
Leon, who had activated his own antivirus program, consoled him, "Look at it on the bright side. Your death might have been part of the plan."

Chapter 8: Awakening Fearlessness
The antivirus program written by Leon himself devoured the blue data stream belonging to the Great Demon Tzeentch without mercy. The Great Demon Tzeentch wailed and turned into a ball of broken and meaningless garbage code.
This bizarre sight even pierced through the program itself, projecting onto the Dreadnought's body the illusion of the Great Demon's agonizing struggle. Armidale and his companions stared at the scene in disbelief, while Vigan even raised his chainsaw sword.
"It's normal for technology to exorcise demons. Don't be too surprised."
After leaving behind a program to automatically clean up the junk code, Leon retrieved his consciousness code from the Dreadnought and explained calmly, "This Dreadnought is possessed by an electronic demon, which is why it can't be started."
"Demon? Where in the world does such a thing exist?"
Lieutenant Vigan snorted coldly. As a traditionalist, he clearly didn't believe in these twists and turns. "You guys, a bunch of mystical geeks, can even make the electronic virus injected by the enemy sound so outrageous. You clearly have the technology, but you lack the spirit of scientific rationality. This is why I don't trust you, the Mechanicus."
"Demons are real. If you still maintain an objective and rational attitude, then you shouldn't be so arbitrary about the current situation outside after being trapped on this planet for over a thousand years." Leon turned around and decided to update these old fogies: "After the Great Crusade..."
"Devil!" Just as Leon was about to explain, a thunderous roar suddenly came from behind him: "Let me tear apart all your deceptions and lies!"
Li Ang felt his scalp tingling, and he subconsciously lowered his head, just in time to avoid the fearless power fist that swept towards him like lightning.
The fist passed over Li Ang's head, creating a dent in the cave wall that was over a meter deep. Li Ang turned around in surprise and saw that the sleeping Wu Wei had stood up from the ground.
Shouldn't the energy be just enough for basic life support? How on earth did he do it? Even able to launch an attack?!
Seeing that his first attack failed, Fearless prepared to pursue, but perhaps the phase of his brain being cranky and irritable had passed, and he was a little hesitant when he found that there was only a mechanical priest in front of him, not knowing whether to continue the attack.
Amidel, who had been showing joy on his face because Fearless was awakened, was also startled. He hurried forward and blocked Fearless's way.
"Captain! It's me, Armidale!" He shouted loudly, so that the sleepy Dauntless could recognize his identity. "There are no enemies here! It was this Mechanical Priest who just woke you up!"
"Ah, Brother Armidale, what happened to me? Am I...buried in the Dreadnought?"
Armidale nodded in confirmation, and upon receiving the affirmative, Fearless lost his former bravery. His divine power, which had come from nowhere, began to fade, and his voice grew weaker. "Perhaps I haven't fulfilled my duty..."
"It's over, Captain. You successfully slew that terrifying alien aboard the space hulk, a feat no other brother could accomplish," Armidale consoled him. "We had no intention of disturbing your sleep, but we brothers still needed your experience and wisdom to escape this dire situation, so we were forced to wake you."
"It's not over, Armidale, it's not over yet."
Advanced design on the oldest Contemptor Dreadnoughts allows the veteran in his sarcophagus to shake his head in a humanized manner: "I will not condemn you for burying me in a Dreadnought and waking me up. In fact, I hope you will do so."
"It's just that I'm not sure I'm still qualified to lead you... When I led my company into a space hulk and nearly wiped it out, I don't think I was qualified to lead you anymore."
Sergeant Arlo, who usually spoke little, spoke up at this moment: "Captain, each of us followed you voluntarily. We all knew clearly what the end result would be, but we still made the choice."
"I transferred from my position as an instructor in the recruit company to join yours precisely because I felt it would be better to face a glorious death as a legionnaire than to train a group of equally lost recruits in a legion that had lost its future."
"The same goes for those brothers who died on the space hulk. They simply embraced the glory and value of sacrifice earlier. I don't think anyone would deprive you of your status as company commander just because you helped them realize their own value, not even you."
"No, it's just a conspiracy, Brother Arlo."
Fearless fell into painful memories: "They did indeed embrace glory, but their deaths were worthless. And the one who deprived them of their value was me, the one who ordered you to step into this trap!"
After these words were spoken, the people present looked at each other in confusion, obviously not knowing what the trap Wuwei was talking about was.
They still thought that the battle on the Space Hulk that nearly wiped him out was just a fight with a group of bizarre and psychic blue aliens, and that they had finally won a bitter victory with heavy casualties. However, having just seen and destroyed the Great Daemon of Tzeentch, Leon was not surprised by the Dauntless's performance.
Driven by a strong desire for knowledge, Leon, who was almost beaten to death by Wuwei who had just woken up, took the initiative to step forward and extend the topic: "Now it's time to be honest with each other. Do you mind sharing your secret with everyone?"
"Ah, Mechanicus. I am grateful for waking me, and I must apologize for my imprudent behavior."
Fearless said, "But I have no intention of dragging you, my only remaining brother, into a darker secret. Let me face it alone. This is my atonement."
Seeing Wuwei being so nagging, Li Ang felt a little unhappy.
He was not familiar with these warriors yet, but their actions of fighting monsters on a primitive planet with a bunch of broken equipment and struggling for a thousand years had won his respect.
Seeing that Wu Wei was wasting their persistence and no one dared to raise any objections to the noble Wu Wei, Li Ang told Wu Wei the truth without hesitation:
"Respected Fearless Brother, you may not be aware of the current time. No matter what you learned in the battle with that demon, it is already a thousand years later! Some of the secrets you are determined to bear have long since become worthless with the passage of time!"
"A thousand years later?!" Fearless was shocked, but still stubbornly insisted: "This will at least give them a new beginning!"
"You've kept silent about some of the past, thinking that this will allow your brothers to escape their past responsibilities and missions. But you don't know that your brothers are now trapped on a primitive planet. They have no means of escape, no new recruits, not even weapons and equipment! They've never had a future, and it's the beliefs of the past that have kept them going until now. And now you wishfully want them to let go of the past and have a new beginning?"
Leon gave a sarcastic smile: "Doing this will only leave them confused and waiting to die on this planet!"
Fearless looked at Leon, then at Amidel. Amidel nodded gratefully at Leon, then said to Fearless:
"He is Father Leon, our current ally."
"As he said, the past is everything to us. No matter how dark the secrets of the past are, we hope to bear them together as battle brothers. This is the only meaning for us to persist here and plan to escape this planet."
Hearing Armidale's words, Fearless sighed. He was silent for a moment, as if he was negotiating a compromise.
In the end, he chose to speak.
"That's a long story," Fearless said, "about deception and betrayal..."
PS: The deadline for the order of making the Horror Hot Melt Man for someone else is approaching. I will be busy with this after work today. I will definitely update more tomorrow.jpg13
Chapter 9: A Story from 1,000 Years Ago (I)
The Dreadnought still remembered the very beginning of the story. It was a grand expedition led by the Emperor himself, and twenty legions were formed on Terra, the birthplace of mankind.
As one of the first Space Marines of the Second Legion to be transformed on the Moon, he, who still had his own name at that time, once had some conversations with the members of the Lunar Gene Cult - these dissatisfied members of the Gene Cult who were defeated by the Emperor worked day and night for the Emperor's great cause of transforming Space Marines.
They treated other Space Marines very coldly, regarding them as the Emperor's lackeys, but they treated him with special attitude.
"You are the finest creations of our genetic engineering! Other Space Marines are but pathetic genetic monstrosities, tools of the Emperor's war, but you are different!"
The researcher's eyes were filled with an intoxication and enthusiasm that I couldn't understand at the time. "You, with your infinite evolutionary possibilities, are the future of mankind!"
Fearless didn't know what future he was talking about. He only knew that he and his brothers possessed exceptionally advanced gene-detecting nerves and corresponding glands compared to their cousins. They could devour their opponents in battle, absorbing their genetic strengths and completing targeted evolution in a short period of time.
