Molten Heat, a ferocious weapon that perturbates subatoms to produce directional extreme heat, an armored nightmare, a melee overlord.

The advantage of this weapon is the extremely high damage and terrifying armor-piercing efficiency, the disadvantage is the range.

A hot-melt weapon with high-pressure gas as the medium and ammunition will not have too long a range and killing radius when its own size is small, and it basically needs to be close to the face if it wants to fully exert its tactical value.

And for mortal soldiers, being close to the space necromancer undoubtedly means death.

Although at the end of the 39th millennium, the Empire of Man did not yet know what space necrons were.

The number of bloodthirsty metal skeletons invading the Ark of Elysium was between 500 and 1000, a figure that was not very accurate due to the alarms in many of the cabins, and the well-armed defense team quickly assembled and engaged in a bloody hand-to-hand fight with the invaders in the cabin.

In the darkness, the soldiers who followed behind Bernartita felt an uplift in their hearts, and some supreme being laid his gaze on their shoulders, from the Golden Throne, from Falla, from the icon of the guide who held aloft the L-Star Gate......

Most of the mortal soldiers who can be hired by the Order of Truth are fanatical believers who have been fooled by a certain branch of the state religion and believe that the bullet star is the incarnation of the emperor, and their ignorant beliefs are certainly spurned by the monks of truth who believe in dialectical materialism, but at such times, the soldiers with devout worship are convinced that they are fighting for their gods.

The Emperor's gaze gave the soldiers endless courage, and the guards with multiple tubes of hot melt rushed forward with flesh and blood pigs under the cover of the dense plasma shot by their comrades, and pressed the thick barrels of their guns against the heads of the mechanical skeletons covered in flesh and skin, followed by a large burst of fire that ended in the same death.

Their undaunted will to fight shone with the plasma, and their bodies protected by plastic steel armor burned with the heat, killing the bloodied metal skeletons.

Generally speaking, even the most elite Imperial Guard is not always fully equipped with such sophisticated weapons, but this ship is owned by the Order of Truth, an academic organization or arms dealer who follows the Bullet Star.

The soldiers who served on their ships were always equipped with the most advanced and improved multi-barreled hot-melt and plasma pistols, with the basic plastic steel full-body armor and the highly technical fully enclosed helmet being the most basic standard.

It can be said that the level of equipment of the mortal troops employed by the Order of Truth has even surpassed that of some Astarte warbands whose finances are not very good.

While the invasion in the cabin was slowly quelled, the battlecruiser Oracle, under the control of Listia, with the cover of allies and the calculation assistance of the Ark of Elysium, finally bit the second Death Scythe battleship at the cost of its outermost shield being penetrated.

For a battlecruiser that the Brothers of Truth have been working tirelessly on to improve their weapons systems for years, biting is meant destroying.

The second Death Scythe was also shot down under the guns of the Oracle of Truth.

Bernastita's call for support from Falla was still in the starport, and the battle was over.

After destroying all the two Dead Scythe warships, they did not immediately clean up the battlefield, but cautiously sent reconnaissance ships to scan and reconnoiter back and forth inside and outside the galaxy several times before they initially relaxed their vigilance and began to salvage the wreckage caused by the First World War.

The Ark of Elysium repaired itself with the help of a nano-repair system and intelligent control servants, while the Oracle of Truth was the first to sail towards the black pyramid group that appeared in the orbit of the carbonized planet.

Intuition and vision tell Bernartita that these buildings are very similar to the two Death Scythes, and that they are essentially the same style.

It should be said that since the appearance of the two Death Scythe battleships, this group of black pyramids floating in space has stopped jumping sideways in the difficult flickering of existence and non-existence, and has stabilized in the real universe as a real building.

Without rushing into the pyramid to explore, after a rough scan of it from afar2, Listia came to a preliminary conclusion:

These pyramids are empty.

At least the places that the sensor can scan are empty.

Listia opens the faster-than-light communication array and returns more information to Falla:

"According to the preliminary scans, the black pyramid-shaped complex itself should have existed for a long time in 10,000 years, but there are many new traces of these ancient buildings that are no more than a hundred years old, some caused by the operation of some kind of mechanical device, and some of the traces of explosions and battles - these traces are the freshest."

"Somewhere in a corner near the traces of the battle, there is a tall humanoid machine with a chest piercing...... No, that's power armor. ”

"Correction, it's not a humanoid machine, we've found the missing Flame of Repentance, it's the corpse of a Space Marine."

"I applied to start a preliminary survey of the pyramid group immediately, and requested that more professionals be sent to this place, and there were faint energy fluctuations coming from inside the largest pyramids, and the situation here was more complicated than we thought......"

When the news came back to Falla, Russell was not in Falla.

Now he is worrying about resources in the critical base.

"According to the original plan, I will first find a black hole galaxy that no one cares about, set up the Zelo storm projector there, and then use the resources we have accumulated over time, with all the resources that Uspernes can muster, to build a 'matter decompressor' on the black hole horizon."

"Once the mass decompressor is capable of flipping black holes and extracting resources from singularities, I will have an endless supply of minerals and resources once this megastructure is built, and all future projects will be based on this."

Russell sat in the central control room of the critical base outpost, looking at the measuring bullet bow at the core of the galaxy, a little melancholy.

In order to destroy the entire Fudora Ark Spirit Clan who were trying to occupy the miniature galaxy without fail, he used the resource reserves that should have been used to build the Matter Decompressor to build the Measuring Bullet Bow.

Although this facility did allow it to quickly deliver swarms to flood the Ark World ship, and after counting the loot, the large number of spirit bone creations and spirit tomes in the Ark World, as well as the powerful Time Weapon Ring Principle and Inverse Entropy, were indeed worthy of this huge consumption.

The problem is that there are only so many resources that the Espernes sector has to offer, and the amount of construction of the Bullet Bow has squandered years of reserves in several mineral systems.

Had it not been for the powerful transportation provided by the L-Gate network, which allowed the various systems to communicate and trade efficiently with each other, such a desperate claim would have collapsed Esperneth's finances.

Not to mention that the technical sage Spangler is still scavenging resources everywhere to build warships for Russell, and now even the progress of the Star District government's plan to lay L-Star Gates in various key systems has been greatly affected.

For at least a hundred years, neither Espernes nor Fallas would be able to come up with enough resources to build a second megastructure.

Without the original accumulation of building a matter decompressor, Russell's follow-up plan to rely on the infinite supply of resources to exploit the black hole could not be implemented

"So that's why you're asking me to modify the Colossus?"

In the central control room, the indifferent synthesized voice of the indifferent synthesizer who couldn't hear men and women asked calmly: "Replace the 'Wisdom Reduction Beam', which can forcibly degenerate large clusters of intelligent creatures, with the 'Earthburst Sky Star' that directly shatters the star core and detonates the planet, just for mining ......?" ”

Even in the darkest age of science and technology in the most terrifying period of mankind, it is rare to do this, and there are almost no mistakes.

"Exactly."

Russell smiled, looked away from the measuring bullet bow, and turned to the ring colossus shown on the holographic projector on the other side, which was being modified in the orbit of the nanoplanet:

"I don't have the patience to wait for the miners of the Human Empire to dig the minerals out of the ground with chisels and hammers, and we need more efficient ways to obtain resources - such as using the Colossus to directly shatter the celestial bodies and let the mechanical nanoclouds eat them away."

It's just a mine, but as for it......

"In the process of shattering star mining, you must also do a good job of concealment, and the big action of smashing celestial bodies is easier to be observed by others." Inverse Entropy did not dispute Russell's decision, but only made some suggestions, and continued to control the nanobots and carry out the modification of the Colossus.

After exchanging some questions with Inverse Entropy about the reserves of core components of the Sailfish and Swordfish battleships that were about to begin assembly, Russell left the outpost's central control room and returned to the Grey Gu Mothership.

This time, it wasn't just the Grey Wind humanoid constructs in naval uniforms waiting for him back on the Gray Gu Mothership.

Beside Gray Wind, there was also a tall woman with a net height of 2.1 meters, wearing only a purple-black wide burqa, and her long pink and white hair dragged down to her ankles.

It was Colonia's newly pinched humanoid body.

"Master, the bio warp engine you requested earlier has been molded and ready for mass production supply, but there are some precautions during installation and use......"

"Marshal, Listia, who was surveying the Flare Galaxy with the Inquisition, recently sent back a message that they had discovered an alien relic there......"

As soon as they boarded the ship, Colonia and Grey Wind scrambled to start their work briefing.

Russell doesn't quite understand where their competitiveness comes from, obviously they haven't pushed the progress much, why they have to be so involuted, this is not a good atmosphere.

Could it be that everyone here is a workaholic except for himself?

That's horrible.

Russell managed to calm them down, intending to listen to Greywind talk about Lystia's discovery in the Flare Galaxy, and then learn about the Creature Warp Engine from Colonia.

But when the first words of Grey Wind fell, he immediately lifted his spirits.

"What do you say? A pyramid of virtual and real flickering? A scythe-shaped battleship that ignores inertia? Fancy metal skeletons cloaked in flesh and blood? ”

For the first time in this universe, Russell was a little reluctant to believe what came out of the mouth of the gray wind.

Grey Wind retrieved the video footage from Falla, showing Russell all of the surveys and battles recorded from the perspective of the Oracle of Truth, including the traces of the battle and the corpses of the Space Marines later found in the pyramid complex.

After watching it, Russell realized the importance of the matter.

"It can be determined that this is a tomb world of the Necronomisis Dynasty of Space."

Russell said, "The traces of mechanical movement in the pyramid complex are no more than a hundred years old, which is just right in time for you to detonate the Double Star Annihilation Swarm. ”

Coroniai pursed her lips slightly, but did not speak.

"This tomb world was originally hidden into another dimension by the phase technology of space necromancy, perhaps due to some kind of chain reaction caused by the explosion of stars, and their phase shifting devices were short-circuited, causing the tomb world to constantly flicker between the virtual and the real......"

Gray Wind nodded thoughtfully, not expecting that one of the most inconspicuous and remote galaxies he had specially selected at the beginning would actually happen to be the sleeping place of a space necromantic dynasty.

It's also too coincidental.

"The body of the Space Marines found was killed by explosive bombs, and the necrons don't use explosive weapons very much, ruling out the possibility of internecine killing within the Flame of Repentance, then this warrior should have been killed by a fallen angel."

"The traces of battle in the pyramids are also largely aligned with the timing of Milak's disappearance, and Milak's forces are supposed to have engaged in a firefight in the crypt of the space necrons with the target they were pursuing, most likely the fallen angels......"

Combing the context of the matter here, Russell has a doubt:

"Why is it here, the fallen angels are chased into the Flare Galaxy by Milak, and it happens that there is a space necromancer dynasty sleeping here, and they happen to escape into the tomb world that disappears from time to time...... It's such a coincidence. ”

Colonia said softly, "Maybe it's not a coincidence, master?" ”

It came to Russell and stood next to him, bent down and said, "Didn't you say that before?" The Fallen Angels' fleet was much larger than Milak's forces, and there was no reason for them to be pursued and fled by an enemy far weaker than their own. ”

Thus, a possibility came to the surface with its words:

"Perhaps the Fallen Angels have known for a long time that the space necromancers in this galaxy have awakened, but due to their sensitive status, they cannot directly alert the Empire. So they can only deliberately reveal their whereabouts to attract the attention of the extreme unforgivable, and fight and flee to lead Milak and them into the flare, in this way to convey the message. ”

As soon as Colonia's thoughts were finished, Grey Wind immediately questioned, "But the Fallen Angels are traitors to the First Legion, and as traitors, is it necessary for them to inform the Empire of the threat of the awakening of the necromancy at the cost of their own exposure?" ”

Russell smiled: "This...... I can't tell. ”

"Huh?" Gray Wind was a little confused: "Is there anything inside this?" ”

Russell nodded: "Yes, and not a lot." ”

"Although the Fallen Angel is considered a traitor by the Dark Angel's heir, in fact, there are many factions among the Fallen Angels, some of which are even more loyal than Mirak."
