At a time when the war between the Empire and the Red Pirates was in full swing, life could exist even in the darkest and iciest depths, and in the most inconspicuous corners of the consoles of the alien fortresses captured by the Empire, the sleeping thing awoke after a period of abnormal wriggling.

This was three months before the start of the war, when the Gendans had just been discovered and their last bastions were being disposed of......

Inside the Xenomorph Fortress, about the size of a palm, it looked like a puddle of rotten flesh, with languishing worms piled up like tiny brown granules, but they gradually began to reanimate, resurrecting from the hollows of the intricate, transparent-colored crystals.

The ancient xenomorphs who had lived through the Empire's greatest expedition didn't look so terrifying, but the wriggling, morphological worms had terrible desires beyond human imagination, and they were subordinated to a group psionic concept called Extermination, whose "Emperor" was to be described as inappropriate and somewhat heretical.

And now, in the midst of its ancient will, the barely existential worm has been awakened, freed from the inappropriate shackles of crystalline devices that have nothing to do with organic matter, and they are the source of the fortress's magic-like abilities.

They were voluntarily bound to it, and for the sake of their subspace projection, although they were not as good as the human emperors, green-skinned and hairy, and even slightly worse than the gods of the spirit race, they gave everything they had for their incomparably loyal slaughter.

Of course, this so-called subspace projection is no longer as powerful as it once was, and the individual will has been completely worn out, destroyed by the most vicious enemy of their race, and the last enemy, that is, the human race, that is, the real entity of the Empire.

Awakened by the waves of death of its brother crushed by Alan Bair's gravity gun, and led forward by what little slaughter was left, it naturally passed through the strange crystal that was too strong for the Empire to unravel, and then fell feebly from the console.

Snapping...... It was so evident and clear in the darkness of the cumbersome area that it drew the people of the Inquisition forward quickly, and it was now chaotic, weak, fragile, and dying, and it was also special, far superior to those who had been exterminated by man, chosen by its will to slaughter.

Just the size of a palm, it exhibits thoughts similar to those of normal humans, and in just that lump, it can also use powerful psionic abilities, which are terrifying talents that only humanoid people can exert full intelligence cannot emulate, and at the same time, its psionic energy is also powerful enough to activate a curse that spans hundreds or thousands of years.

It was only after the strange sound attracted the acolytes of the Inquisition that its faint consciousness received the last shred of the power of slaughter, and relying on its memories, it immediately turned into what its brother had memorized before his death, namely a replica rose knot often used by high-ranking Inquisitionists.

When the acolytes, who were heavily armed and dressed in strict accordance with the anti-Rang Dan suit in the ancient imperial texts, that is, the heavy clothing made of a fully enclosed composite anti-corrosive material like the early diving suit of the ancient Terra, they were confined to this high-risk area for half a minute, but it was enough for them to see the beautiful dark gold, supreme rose knot at a glance.

"It's a high-ranking acolyte, damn it, that lord left something so important here?" A young voice couldn't help but scold.

At this moment, there are three acolytes who have entered here, and they can't see clearly because of the heavy protective suits, but they all face the supremacy of this court with the attitude of looking at landmines.

The silence lasted for a few seconds, and given the constant countdown outside the room, if they didn't deal with this thing, they didn't know how many souls would be scattered if they lost a copy of the rose knot.

Those who are unlucky enough to see this thing are probably not spared, for most of the acolytes, they are lucky to be able to join the court, guessing that the above ideas are even more unlikely, so it is better to do their duty, at least the probability of surviving is greater.

They had to work in groups of three, lined up, wearing thick isolation suits, and the most experienced acolytes operated special long tongs to pick up the rose knot, which was enough to kill them thirty or forty times.

Sealed in a beautiful special metal case, they were handed over to the high-ranking acolytes according to the standards of heavy relics, and they also sweated through the most difficult service of their long career in the Inquisition.

Their fate is unknown, so they can only fill in the properties of the relic and the circumstances of its discovery on the form, and then the metal box is pulled into the nearby Anglican church with the transport ship for the sealing and initial consecration of the Mechon.

And the moment Dan entered the box, the tiny anti-psionic array on the box made this psionic creature group extremely uncomfortable, and the psionic binding crystals on the transport ship made it even more weakened.

Normally, being tortured like this after 10,000 years of dormancy and suffering is over, no matter what race it is, it is powerless, but thanks to the simple body structure of those worm aliens, they have endurance far beyond most intelligent races in this universe.

It survived, just as it had been completely destroyed by the Emperor's heirs, only to be revived again after 10,000 years, and this vicious xenomorph that should not belong to this universe was successfully tilted in a slightly less strict link in the layers of screening and transportation.

When the box passed through the hands of a young acolyte, the young man didn't grasp it, but only tilted it for a moment, allowing Dan to seize the opportunity to break away from most of his body, leaving a trace of the worm limb outside, and although the thing looked like an inconspicuous red rope, it was indeed alive.

The young man was instantly discovered by the high-ranking acolyte who was in charge of the matter, and the lord decided that, as punishment for his dereliction of duty, he could only serve the Inquisition mechanically as a computer servant for the rest of his life, and the linguistics that the young man knew, the superficial heretical knowledge, and the countless credits he had made for the Inquisition, were all wiped out by this seemingly inconspicuous tilt.

At the same time, the weak body made Dan's powerful spiritual power was pulling an inconspicuous rodent, and the rat came from the outside of the vent inside the Inquisition building, that is, those areas that were still civilian, and subconsciously ate the bright red "rope", and then was activated by the water in the living organism extremely quickly.

It saw the world again, the dark sky, the metal floor, the chaotic air, the clutter of robed humans, countless heavy machines, and its rat body was a frantic warning for the next second, it was a severely modified human, and the individual called the machine servant kept driving it away with planks and smashing it.

And read. "The expulsion agreement, rodents, is being enforced, is being enforced."

The rodent's instinct told it that it should squeak and run towards the hole, but it smashed down the planks at random, and instantly turned into a mass of flesh.

At this moment, Jean Dan also showed more mobility than normal worms, instantly sticking to the wooden plank, and at the same time crawling into the untransformed human arm of the servant, and following the flesh into the miner's severed lobe and the brain controlled by the imperial unit.

The servant immediately froze, not uncommon among the Empire's countless consumable servants who lacked maintenance, and it was in a daze for a moment, and was quickly called out by the acolytes of the Inquisition. "No. 3 sundries! Go get that box to the Chief Physician! ”

Then the acolyte said to his companion. "Commander-in-Chief Alan Bair actually entrusted such a job as caring for civilians to the Inquisition!"

The other acolyte replied, dragging his robe. "No way, let the Dan incident make us no longer have rights, I just hope we can save more useful citizens of the empire, if there is a war, the aftermath of the fleet battle alone will leave hundreds of people injured in the residential area, Emperor......"

His words were somewhat merciful, but nothing more, he knew how much of the medical supplies would be allocated to the locals, and most of them would be sold and put into the hands of local black market or unlicensed doctors, or even given to the chief physician, but the adult probably wouldn't look at the garbage.

This universe is cruel and unforgiving, and he is well aware of it, and now he is only using his dedication to this matter to offset the lingering guilt in his heart.

But he didn't know that this incident had given Jean Dan a chance, this greedy monster had now eaten away the brains and mutilated soul of the servant, and its powerful psionic energy could even maintain the operation of the poor creature's body with mimicry and mind control while eating, so that the servant could not feel that his body was falling apart.

By the time he arrived at its destination, the carrier had lost its so-called value, after letting Dan leave quickly, inside the transport vehicle.

The third servant, one of the Emperor's possessions, disappeared under an inconspicuous circumstance, to be precise, his core system was torn apart and eaten, that is, the brain, the place that absorbed most of the nutrients in the whole body was replaced, and during this time he was providing calories to Jean Dan and was also being controlled by Rang Dan.

Now it slumped abruptly on the ground, and others complained that it had a short expiration date, dragging the worthless item to the recycle bin.

But in the car, although Jean Dan, who was hiding inside the medical supplies, was powerful, he was just a red worm when he left the body of the servant at this moment.

Although it can reproduce vegetatively asexually, it is very slow, and it takes more than a week to complete a cycle, and although it can grow exponentially when it is in large numbers, few humans it can currently come into contact with can afford so much nutrition.

And the conditions it needs are very harsh, first of all, that person must be in a high position, which can allow other humans to provide a lot of food and nutrition, including the lives of other humans, so that Dan needs the soul of intelligent creatures to reproduce, which is why the one who lodged the Inquisitor did not split his body until he was killed by Alan Baier.

Secondly, under the current situation, its host cannot instantly control the will of the host, so the environment of the human being is not good enough to be surrounded by a large number of instruments and equipment if there is a physical problem, and secondly, he himself must be as superstitious and stupid as possible about this world.

In any case, it was not a complete body like its dead brother, and although it had psionic powers and intelligence, the weakness of the individual was far more than what it could do as a complete body for the Dan group......

And in its current wisdom, a gloomy whisper is singing the praises of a lot of complex knowledge, although it is a very one-sided flash, but it also sees that there are the true secrets of the entire universe in it.

That is, the current lord of the Imperial Guard, that special human being, and its wisdom is not what it has in its body, but the last resentment and spirit that made Dan change after being killed by humans, and it is the embodiment of the wisdom of Dan's race, in this way, in fact, the subspace spiritual energy is its essence.

And with the help of the memory of its poor brother, it touched a flash in Alan Bair's thoughts, it was a rather inferior civilization, and a world with a good environment, and the most important thing was not this world, but the world under that civilization.

It's familiar with those primate-like creatures, their technology isn't that bad, and if this isn't one of the Empire's lost worlds, then there's only one possibility...

Ancient Terra era.

As the transporter swayed, its chaotic thoughts became clear, and it realized that it had encountered a miracle, and that the will to slaughter had left it with the opportunity to make the Dan race rise again, an Eternal, one of the most powerful individuals of the human race.

With the enormity of its inner ambition, it already has a goal, which is to restore the huge body of the humanoid, and to find the lord who has lived from Guterra to the present.

Suddenly, the car stopped, and it immediately frighteningly melted the plastic skin of the medical items under its body, and then turned into a part of it, pasted it in a bag of saline, and became so transparent that it was invisible with its mimic ability, and it looked like the outer layer of ordinary saline.

A hurried voice shouted outside the car. "Hurry up, your vehicle has been impounded by us, and all the medical supplies will be handed over to the doctors in Chaodu, this matter is related to the life and death of our gang!"

After a few rapid shell shots, Dan was lifted up in a daze, it had become accustomed to the feeling of being treated like cargo, and given that it had been inorganic for nearly 10,000 years, it did not feel uncomfortable, but was more comfortable than when ingesting bodily fluids and muscle tissue in the body of a servant.

After another few hours of driving, and when it saw the light again, it was already a gray, gloomy basement-like room, a man with his chest shaved open, dying, lying on a white bed, not even a good sterile environment, an unlicensed doctor who had been a field doctor used a scalpel and disinfectant alcohol and strong anesthetics to solve the simple and ridiculous operation, removing the yellow projectiles one by one.

The black doctor raised his hand and asked his assistant to wipe his forehead, and the gang member next to him with Moshigan's head standing up said through the curtain. "How's the boss? It was only after we and the enemy that we had completed a decisive battle before we had to swallow the enemy's territory! ”

"Death to the bitter Commander, damn it, those black guys!"

The doctor spoke immediately. "Shut up, assistant, bring saline, he's starting to lose fluids, inject ...... first" his tone was weak and tired, and the assistant happened to pick up the bag of saline that had been possessed by Jean Dan.

Next, there was a sudden shouting. "Damn, this bag of brine is leaking! Call people, call people! Quick change. ”

Interestingly, in the following operation, the leader was getting better and better, until the end of the operation, he was breathing steadily, his complexion was much better, the gang members chanted the emperor's apparition, and the doctor was inclined to live another day......

Jean Dan's race is not original, GW officially wrote that he is one of the bones of the ancient saints, and I am more inclined to a Resident Evil parasite-like alien race here.

But the same thing is that they are all equally deadly and terrifying, but the official setting of GW is more "positive and powerful" and mine is more "insidious and vicious" because they are currently in the state of being exterminated by the emperor.
