When the last shuttle entered the transport ship in orbit, all ships in low Earth orbit began to move away from Masala.

All the crews on the Opalon-class battleships went into a state of high tension, and this was the first time they had imposed an extermination order, so tension was inevitable.

A large atmospheric incineration torpedo was filled into the magazine at the prayer of the mechanical priest, and after a brief jolt of the machinery, it was ready to fire.

Horus, who was on the bridge, took one last look at the desert planet in front of him, where a total of 632 interstellar auxiliaries and two interstellar marines died in the recent battle to defend the excavation base, but their sacrifices were exchanged for the survival of more than 80,000 civilians.

Now that Masala has completely fallen to the hands of the insects, the ugly fungus blanket has almost covered the surface of Masala, and billions of bugs are wreaking havoc on this planet, it is time to feel the wrath from humanity.

As Horus gently pressed the launch button, the torpedo mechanism on the battleship began to operate, and the huge pressure incinerated the atmosphere, and the torpedo was pushed directly into space, and after flying unpowered for a certain distance, the torpedo's ion engine ignited, dragging a long trail, and the atmospheric incineration torpedo flew towards Masala.

Driven by an ion engine, the atmospheric incineration torpedo soon entered the low planetary orbit of Masala, the torpedo's soul began to release catalysts after confirming the position, and the plasma apparatus inside also began to warm up.

When the torpedo reached the intended detonation position, the shining blue ball of light exploded instantly, and the high-temperature plasma cluster ignited all the oxygen nearby, and then like a chain reaction, the ion cluster produced by the incineration torpedo continued to spread, and all oxygen in the atmosphere would be incinerated in a short time.

The heat generated by igniting oxygen will burn all the insects that stay on the surface of the planet, even the tenacious fungus blanket is no exception, and the insects located in the earth's crust will face an even more cruel fate.

The surface is constantly baked by high temperatures, and the ultra-high temperature generated by plasma will vitrify the surface, and even after a few months, the planet will still burn like an amber in the starry sky.

Looking at the planet filled with flames in front of him, Renault, who had already entered the bridge, asked Horus, who was standing in the middle, "Have we lost Masala forever?" ”

Horus looked at the planet with pity, and finally nodded: "Yes, no living thing can survive on the vitrified surface, his atmosphere is no longer full of oxygen, and it is full of all kinds of poisonous gases. Unless you are skilled enough and willing to spend hundreds of years reworking it, it will always be a dead planet. ”

"Oh my God, I never thought that one day a human would be able to do something like this, just as I didn't expect you to build such a big warship." Renaud sighed, the gap between people and people was so big.

"In our universe, there are even more terrible things, in order to block the enemy enough to cover the entire star sector, we can turn hundreds of planets into dead silence, and in order to protect trillions of humanity, we can sacrifice tens of millions of soldiers without hesitation. Sacrifice is already the norm in my world. ”

Every time he thinks about this, Horus's heart is always full of pain, in order to survive the human race in the imperial world has lost too much, but what can be done? The Tyranid Swarm, the Greenskins, the Chaos Demons, the Space Necromancers, and countless other Xenomorphs do not want to destroy humanity at all times.

"Let's get out of here, Captain." Then Horus turned and said, "Commander Renault, it's time for us to go our separate ways, Captain Tzemol and his fleet will continue to help you collect artifacts, and I have more important things to do." ”

"Alright, Mr. Horus, I hope I didn't choose the wrong person to work with." Renault nodded and turned to leave.

When Renault returned to the Hyperion, Thor approached Horus and said, "What are we going to do next?" ”

"Ottarian's Rift," said Horus, opening the star map he had gleaned from Renault, "As far as I know, this is where the flesh of the Sarnagars is located, but due to Aemon's betrayal, the flesh of these void creatures has all died. Maybe we can get something out of it. ”

"But the intelligence on the star map shows that the high-intensity particle stream released by the Ortarian rift is capable of breaking everything into a molecular state, and at this level of strength, even a battleship cannot get close." Thor said, pointing to the location of the rift.

"The so-called high-intensity particles flow just an illusion created to protect the temple of Sarnagar, and we only need to go through the rift to enter the temple."

After confirming the next target, Horus's small fleet began to advance towards the Ortarian Rift, and upon reaching Mandeville Point in the Masala system, the fleet activated its subspace engines and entered the subspace.

The subspace of the Koplu sector is very calm, incredibly calm, so that the fleet is almost unimpeded, and in this case, the fleet can sail at speeds even 10,000 times the speed of light in the real universe.

As the ship sailed smoothly through the bizarre subspace, Thor opened the porthole and said, "It's amazing, I've never seen such a smooth subspace, we don't even have to open Geller's position." ”

"It's a paradise for our think tank, and I can use all kinds of spells without worrying about attracting demons." Ignis exclaimed.

"But don't underestimate here, there are also exists similar to the evil gods of subspace in this world, but they are still asleep, and the god of darkness has awakened, so it is not so easy for us to sail in subspace." Horus remained vigilant, and when he first entered the universe, he sensed that the evil god put a lot of pressure on him, even though that was what he was going to hunt for.

"We can study the faster-than-light engines used by Commander Renault's ships. The human empire is also in desperate need of this technology. Saul said.

Horus nodded, "Grand Sage Clecisis has boarded Renault's Hyperion with his skills, and I think he should have something to gain." ”

By this time, Swan, the Rangers' chief technologist, had collapsed, and not long ago, Boss Reynolds seemed to have reached a cooperation with someone, so a strange group of red-robed men boarded the Hyperion and occupied the armament room that belonged to him.

The red-robed men had been tinkering in the engine room for a long time, and asking him all sorts of strange questions, how it worked, how it worked, the spirit, and even prayed, Swan had been tortured by these people, and Renault didn't care about them, and he didn't know when such a day would end.

A few days later, Horus's fleet was approaching the Ortarian Rift, and the battleship passed safely through the "stream of energetic particles" as the Horus Tempt arrived, and the magnificent Temple of Ulna appeared in front of the expeditionary force.
