Chapter 1340 Warhammer Year Chronicle
Land creatures have an instinctive fear of the vast ocean.
Kane's roots are a land creature, and before his humanity has completely retreated, he has always had a little fear of the sea and water, even if the weight of the bottomless water abyss is not enough for him, but the imprint in the depths of his soul will still make him feel a little more uncomfortable.
In Azeroth, Enzos is said to have been imprisoned in a prison deep under the sea.
Why imprisoned in the sea?
Maybe the Titans didn't think much about it in the first place.
But as Kane was in the habit, he believed more in a reason for the past.
Even if he was worried that Enzos's fragmented thoughts would affect sentient beings, it could be regarded as a statement.
Of course, the ancient gods who were actually imprisoned in Azeroth were all able to speak, and even the Ajisha, who was the first to be 'pulled out' by the Titans and died, could influence people's minds with different kinds of evil energy like the seven deadly sins.
Cthun managed to make the Zerg willing to be his pawn, and Yugsaron persuaded the jailers represented by Lorken as a prisoner, and then Enzos.
Enzos's frontal combat ability is the weakest among the ancient gods, but his confusion control ability is the strongest, from the power of twilight to the power of nightmares, from the guardian dragon to the Naga clan, Enzos has built a huge vassal force in the cage, and has set off bloody storms in Azeroth again and again.
As for the current Kane, of course, he hopes that Enzos is still alive, a relatively familiar opponent, even if he grows up, it is better than a new and completely different strange enemy.
For him, there are already a lot of difficult opponents, and he is not interested in adding more.
Kane's time at Asgard was not a leisurely one.
People like him always find something to do.
For example, the Titans, who imitated the Pantheon, created a batch of puppets to take care of Asgard.
Sometimes he also wonders if the puppets he made will be like the puppets made by the Titans, under the premise that he has been away for a long time, they will be eroded by time and other external forces, and gradually become completely different existences.
To be honest, he was not very confident in the conclusion of this conjecture. After all, he is a newcomer to the role of the Creator, and many of these topics have not yet been tested in practice.
This is one of the reasons why the Creator created the world, which itself is a complex large-scale experiment that includes multiple sub-projects.
During his stay at Asgard, Kane also made a trip back to the Warhammer 40K universe.
The process was not as difficult as he expected, but it was not a pleasant one.
What surprised him a little was that the time rate of the two universes was not much different, the appearance of 4:5, that is, the 4 days of the Warhammer 40K universe, which is equivalent to 5 days here, of course, the time unit is earth time, which is already the standard time unit of the first order, no matter which universe you go to, it is the same.
The current situation in the Warhammer 40K universe gives Kane the feeling that a storm is brewing.
The main characters brewing the storm are naturally the four evil gods, no matter from which point of view, they will not just give up.
Kane felt that if the four evil gods made any more big moves, they should join forces.
In addition, the Gradius star system, and indeed the entire empire, has not been very peaceful for nearly a year.
And this kind of unevenness is the kind of pattern that is calm on the surface, but the undercurrent is surging.
Taking the Gradius star system as an example, with the change of the evil god's thinking, the demon army is no longer going to the endless stream, and the great battlefield has a bit of a meaning of gunpowder gradually dissipating.
But in reality, the situation is more complicated.
The evil god did not increase his troops, but it did not mean that the territory he occupied was handed over. On the contrary, since the change of strategy, the forces of chaos have significantly increased their control over the occupied areas.
On the other hand, Miranda had calculated that it would take about a year for the First Order to restore its old outlook.
This statement has been confirmed by the reality of the past year.
Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that he didn't reach out and hang up, otherwise it would have been much faster.
The First Order was busy tinkering, and the chaotic forces had changed their sudden advance to consolidating their territory, and the atmosphere on the battlefield was naturally declining, and even the cold guns and cold guns that had never stopped in the past few years had become scarce and scarce.
But in reality, the landscape in the region is much more complex.
Originally, it was the First Order against the Tzeentch Demon.
On the periphery of the Tzeentch Demon are the admiring Tzeentch Licking Dogs, as well as a large number of opportunists, Chaos believers, Chaos Space Marines, and even Star Pirates.
On the periphery of the First Order are the official and civilian teams of the Human Empire.
However, with the occurrence of a series of major events after Kane's return, the demon of sadism has now occupied a place in this great battlefield.
Although Slaanesh slipped away in the Great War, he sent an elite team afterwards and built a stronghold on the Fifth Planet.
The specific method is to gather rocks in the asteroid belt similar to Saturn's rings, gather rocks with extraordinary power, make a rock base similar to the original Caustic Orc Boulder Ship, use it as a star port, and then open up and build the Elysium Palace in an area of the fifth planet that is so barren that no one wants it.
This is the standard model for building a bridgehead in today's environment.
Because the space power of the First Order is really too strong, and it has been demonstrated many times with actual operations, once it obtains the right to control orbits, the enemy on the ground will be miserable.
Therefore, unless it is a deep fortress, in order to build a bridgehead, there must be a corresponding space fortress.
The Empire has also advertised this purpose, with the headline 'We have changed the habits of demons!'
The biggest change brought to the chaotic forces of the Gradius star system by the establishment of the Slaanesh Elysium is that there is one more place to entertain and fight.
If there is no Slaanesh system, then the Sadistic Department and the Tzeentch Department are basically doing it when they meet, and it is a real fight with real knives and guns.
With the Slaanesh system, at least in the Bliss Palace, the two sides are still convergent. And whoever comes here is to have fun and gather intelligence, not with the intention of killing the other party, plus the Elysium provides a relatively fair arena for competition, and is very good at turning the fight into bloody entertainment, so it successfully plays the link between the demons.
In this way, the Fear and Abuse Department and the Tzeentchi Department can communicate with each other to a certain extent, not to mention watching and helping each other, at least it is not easy to fall into each other's traps.
Speaking of which, in the first half of the year, the First Order used some simple but effective tricks to make the terrorist and tzeentine pinched each other, just like fighting crickets, provoking each other, and the two sides began to really pinch.
And in addition to the First Order, and the chaotic forces with complex internal components, the Light God is not idle.
Shrinking for a while, probably scared by Kane, but also really needing to lick the wounds. But as the effect of the Dark Trench waned again and again, the Light God became ready to move.
The style of the light god is feminine and violent. The demagoguery is very feminine, and when it comes to violence, it is violent.
Since the second half of the year, almost every day, there have been people joining the Pure Light Sect, either explicitly or covertly. This sect was created by the Bright God.
It seems to be quite a bit of an equal treatment, and members of the First Order and members of the Chaos Forces are all targets of the sect.
Judging from the actual effect, the Chaos forces suffered more damage.
After all, even if the first order counts all the peripheral members, at most it will be evaluated as 'good and bad'. But the forces of chaos, tsk......
The internal atmosphere of the chaotic forces is not good, interests are paramount, loyalty is cheap, and there are many people who have been pitted and cannot turn back, and there is no other choice.
Moreover, betrayal is also the type of one that has one and has another.
Therefore, when the conditions given by the gods of light are good, many people fall back.
In fact, it is not very good, and it is even just a deception trick that seems good, but it still has a tendency to be popular among the forces of chaos for a while.
The reason for the details lies in the fact that the God of Light has played the promotional trick of 'taking the goods first, then giving the money'.
In fact, the moment I got the goods, it was already 'life is my person, death is my ghost', but everything is afraid of comparison, compared with the 'path of ascension' that the evil gods have always implemented, people generally reflect that the user experience of the light god is better.
When this happens, the demons of the ruling layer naturally want to stop it.
As a result, the crude and rude methods they used for many, many years had only the opposite effect, not only forcing more people to the Pure Light Sect, but also indirectly promoting the effect of propaganda.
For example, the famous Havel affair.
Javier was an unlucky man, quite an honest man, who was coerced in an evil sacrifice event.
The real problem is his wife, Shanna.
Shanna's upbringing is more indescribable, which has created Shanna's extremely vindictive extreme character, she didn't read much, she was shallow and stupid, she went to the bright lights at a young age, saw other people's drunken fans, and wanted to live like that, but she tossed her youth to the end, only to find that she was empty-handed.
Then he used the saying 'women chase men, and the yarn is interlayered' to fish for honest Javier as a long-term meal ticket.
It's a pity that within a few days, I got tired of the blandness of firewood, rice, oil, and salt, and as soon as I was provoked, I joined the cult.
Javier was completely in the dark, but no one believed it, and as soon as the people said, "Can you know that you are two people who share the same bed......?"
And the empire's attitude towards this aspect of affairs has always been strict, and it is really better to be wronged than to miss it.
In this way, Javier was coerced into embarking on the path of the Chaos Cultists.
was not in a beautiful mood, and found that the top of his head was green, and the most unbearable thing was that his son was sacrificed by Shanna.
It was born to him and Shanna, and Javier felt that Shanna could do it to this extent, no matter what, it couldn't be considered a person.
But in fact, even if he was forced to become a Chaos believer, except for the beginning of the flight, some upheaval and exile, the future is unknown, and the bitterness in his heart is bottomless, in fact, he has a good life later.
After all, he has the skills and works hard, such a person is needed by any organizational force, and the most important thing for the chaotic forces is bastards, and coolies who work with corporal punishment and death coercion, and what they lack is a laborer who can do a job and love a line, and do their duty to do their job well.
Javier is such a person, so he still comes out quickly. Although he was inevitably exploited, the people who exploited him knew his value and naturally would not be embarrassed by him.
But if a person is not in a beautiful mood, no matter how good everything else is, since the death of his son, Javier has become a powder keg of pent-up bad emotions, either lost in silence or exploded.
The Pure Light Sect of the Gods of Light gave Javier a chance.
It's a pity that as an honest person, he really doesn't lie, and he misses it when he says it, and Shanna sells her husband to seek glory, but it is a normal true play.
It wasn't until a high-ranking demon came to the door to persuade Javier to change his mind that Shanna realized that the reason why she was not sent to be a military concubine like some women and was played to death in a few days was not because of her own ability, but simply because she was Javier's wife.
However, stupidity is incurable. In other words, Shanna never really bothered to understand Javier, so when Javier was indecisive, Shanna actually sacrificed the usual set of scolding, and for a while, she mentioned their son.
As a result, Havel blew up.
Literally, the pure light exploded, and the high-level demon who tried to play with the bones of a horse didn't even have time to put up a decent resistance, and turned into flying ashes in the extremely bright light.
For a man like Javier, piety is relatively easy to achieve, and his habits of character can help to be religious.
But the Pure Light Sect of the Gods of Light is not enough to be pious, it has to be extreme, similar to fanatics, but it is somewhat different.
In short, it is very difficult to do, and it is rare to be able to really achieve that state.
Javier, however, made a mistake and met the conditions in a state of anger from an honest man.
At this time, the power of the soul is fused with the power of pure light, and it also has the unique toxin characteristics of light and sin, which is naturally very sharp.
Javier, who was in a state of rage, was also like a different person, killing a god, and soon caused a bloody massacre that affected thousands of people.
This should be left to a normal civilized society, and no matter how good the reason is, it will be washed away from this anti-social and anti-life behavior.
But in the forces of chaos, except for the bitter master, most people's attention is all focused on concepts such as 'gaining great power at first glance and reassuring one'.
Javier, a coerced Chaos believer, has no power of chaos, no transcendent gifts, works hard every day, is bullied by greedy bosses and treacherous colleagues, and his wife is still a well-known bus, and suddenly people block and kill people, Buddha blocks and kills Buddha, which is too dramatic, and at the same time, it also illustrates the power of pure light, as well as the advantage of 'take the goods first, pay later'.
After that, although no one could make a move like Javier, the 'pure light bombs' really exploded a few pieces.
Comparatively speaking, pure light bombs are much easier to achieve, as long as the mental state is extreme, and you happen to have the power of pure light, you can turn into a bomb.
In the words of the demons: this kind of thing is dangerous and disgusting!
Because of several examples, those who played this kind of movement were the low-level cannon fodder that the demons looked down on in the past.
The existence of the Chaos Believer with a very strong *** nature, and the status of the Chaos Force in the chaos forces is really the ants at the bottom that cannot be at the bottom.
Now the ants actually have the possibility of biting the elephant to death, which makes the rulers of the high above shocked, angry, frightened and helpless.
Naturally, Miranda took advantage of Kane's return and reported the situation.
Kane laughed it off and said, "The forces of chaos have our eyeliner, right? reduce your activities, prepare more, and when you find out that the 'Light Seeker' has appeared among the Chaos Space Marines, and then try to gather relevant information." ”
The Light Seeker is a term for those who have fallen to the Pure Light Sect. The First Order was the first to shout, and then the Chaos Forces followed suit.
In Kane's eyes, the establishment of the Pure Light Sect did not affect the development of the Holy Light Sect, and was even beneficial.
The Pure Light Sect is like a filter, selecting those with extreme temperaments and leaving those with relatively neutral and peaceful personalities who are more suitable for following the path of the Holy Light.
Therefore, as long as the method is done properly, many light seekers will eventually become Holy Light Ones, and because they have seen the path of pure light, the path of Holy Light will be more stable.
And the reason why he asked Miranda to keep an eye on the Chaos Space Marines to become a light seeker is because once it appears, it basically means that the God of Light has made great progress in the belief system.
After all, Space Marine can be said to be a sci-fi transcendent version of the cyborg warrior with Warhammer 40K features.
Needless to say, the body shell, the extreme selection + nineteen transformation surgeries, if it weren't for the emperor's hand, it would be no problem to make it an immortal. Like the emperor's sons, they have been transformed by eternal life, and unless they die, they can always live, and whether they can really live with heaven and earth will need time to prove.
The mind, the mind of the Space Marine, is also the culmination of a series of brainwashing, the extreme law of the jungle of hell has forged a strong will far beyond mortals, psychology + religion and other specialized technologies, further making its mind tough.
It can be said that a qualified space marine, going to the world of the Old Dominator, will inevitably become an excellent investigator, and his resistance to all kinds of anomalies that drop the San value is very high, and it is inhuman.
Such a mind, unless it is a special case, is very difficult to erod.
Therefore, if the Light God can get rid of the Space Marines, even if it is the Chaos Star Marine, it will also mean that the means of confusion control will be greatly improved, and at that time, Kane will have to prevent the Light God from dyeing the Empire's colonial stars and even star sectors, and causing the outer combat forces of the First Order to defect and rebel.
In the nearly past year of the Warhammer 40K universe, there are two more things that have caught Kane's attention.
One is a series of events that can be collectively referred to as the 'undercurrent surging on the side of the Empire', including some strange plagues of unknown origin in the colonial stars, as well as the 'True Demon Arrival' in which even the Holy Light Sect suffered heavy casualties, and there are incidents where Imperial officials defected and harmed the people and endangered national security at a level far higher than the same period in previous years.
Although there is no evidence, Kane realizes that it is the Four Evil Gods who have broken away from his game rhythm and started trying to make things happen in their areas of expertise.
Human civilization is farmland to evil gods.
However, if this farmland ultimately benefits the enemies of the evil god, then the evil god destroys the farmland, which is a normal operation.
After all, this is a method that even ordinary two armies will use in the case of confrontation, and the evil god is so good at the word 'evil', how can he not do it?
Moreover, Kane felt that the four evil gods were also warning him through this operation that if the Holy Light Sect continued to expand wildly, making the farmland of the Human Empire more important to the First Order than it was to the evil gods, then the evil gods would completely destroy the fields.
The Human Empire is at most the overlord of the galaxy, and the four evil gods are not short of this piece of grain.
And even if all the fields in this universe are destroyed, the four evil gods will at least be able to fight with the First Order.
So I have to say that from a certain point of view, once the evil gods get serious, the shortcomings of the shallow foundation of the first order will immediately be highlighted.
Kane also met with the Imperial bigwigs to discuss countermeasures.
Although the countermeasure is bitter, it is a solution after all.
That is, the development of the Holy Light Sect slowed down, and the imperial official strengthened internal affairs.
This is actually good for the Imperial Official, after all, the Holy Light Sect, and even the First Order, are fundamentally positioned as a crutch, and they can walk on their own well, so why should they use crutches?
It's just that to say that, after concretization, it is inevitable that it will suffer, and the whole empire will suffer together, and among them, ordinary people who are on the front line and have poor ability to resist disasters can feel the pain the most.
To go into further detail, it is an innumerable number of broken families.
The bigwigs of the empire also asked Kane about this question: "What if the evil god gets an inch?"
This possibility is indeed very large, the evil god is like capital, and more despicable than capital without a bottom line, you retreat it close, and even if you dare to take a step back, it dares to kick its nose in the face, isn't it a normal operation?
Kane told Zhou Xingxing's version of {Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi'er}, and the conversation between Su Qi'er and the emperor at the end.
How many beggars, if you are not with me, if the country is peaceful and the people are safe, how many are willing to be beggars?
Now the same is true, if there is great tribulation in the world, religion will flourish, and if the evil gods play too much, a large number of devout followers of the Holy Light will be born.
Kane even prophesied that according to the urine nature of the evil gods, there would inevitably be a 'pilot area', and he believed that when the time came, the evil gods would even miss the Holy Light Sect, because the Pure Light Sect would take advantage of loopholes, and the path of the Pure Light Sect was the real needle against the demons.
In addition to the general situation of the undercurrent, another thing that caught Kane's heart was the war that took place in a star area not far from Gradiaus.
The two sides of the battle, one is the space undead who set out from Gradius to find his brother, and the other is the Tyranid Zerg.
Although late, the bugs finally came.
The problem is that the space undead can be regarded as one of the top few civilizations in this universe, so it is a fierce battle.
In the end, the space undead hurriedly woke up some of their compatriots because of their serious numerical inferiority, and ran away.
The Tyranids, on the other hand, seemed to have been taken aback by this encounter, and instead of showing their favorite blitzkrieg, they rested on the spot.
Kane felt that whether they were gestational or waiting, it would not be a good thing.
The Tyrannical worm is definitely the best population in the universe where the 'Occam's razor' theory is executed, and it has always been concise and crisp, and it does not look ahead and procrastinate.
And now that they have done so, there must be an absolute reason for the past.
In Kane's view, under the premise that he does not interfere, the current Tyranid is the biggest crisis.
However, after comprehensive consideration, he decided not to take precautions.
On the one hand, the burden carried by the First Order is already heavy enough, unless he makes a move, or draws a large amount of power for the insect egg plan, there is really no energy left to open a new front with quality and quantity.
On the other hand, since it has been decided that the Holy Light Sect will slow down its development, it is bound to let the evil god line taste the sweetness and poison the creatures more vigorously for a period of time, then, Kane would rather hold the butcher knife high than the evil god line.
In the Warhammer 40K universe, if the chaotic forces led by the evil gods are the forces that have added the label of 'despair' to this universe from the spiritual level, then the Tyranid are the forces that have added the label of 'despair' to this universe from the material level.
However, in the original history, this statement was only realized by sentient beings, including evil gods, through the invasion of the Tyranid into the galaxy.
Because, at the current time, the Milky Way is red, and even if other galaxies have intelligent life and interstellar civilizations, they are not as numerous, large, prosperous, and complex as the Milky Way.
As a result, the Tyranid is wreaking havoc in other galaxies, and even the evil gods are not deeply touched.
The original history was that the chaos forces also joined the anti-insect coalition army, and they were still abused and screamed, and then they realized the horror of the insect swarm.
And then the more I studied, the more terrifying I felt.
At the strategic level, it can be said that the swarm has no flaws, and it must be because the hard power is superior, and there will be no other reason for defeating them.
So even Kane was panicked when he mentioned the Tyranid Swarm, because once the war really started, the first order of the few and fine would die ugly without suspense, even if he ended up, it would still not be enough to fill the hole, but it would expose the fact that his family was thin.
Some people may say that the Creator's compulsion is not so good that he has no friends?
Yes, but the Tyranids are extraordinary, which means they have the potential to shake the Creator.
Even if the probability is extremely low, there are many people, so many that they can achieve more ants to bite and kill elephants.
And the Tyranid is not as literary as the Zeg Worm in the SC universe. The lack of flaws at the strategic level meant that it would be difficult for Kane to eliminate the Tyranid's numerical advantage through technology or strategy.
Of course, Kane won't really be killed, as the creator, he is indeed invincible, he can't beat, and he can still run.
But he ran away, just to solve his own safety problem, what about the rest?
Kane pondered that he knew this because he had prophetic memories, and the others didn't, not even the evil gods.
Therefore, while this is just the beginning, let all beings taste the horror of the insects. Also, the First Order has a lot of issues about the Tyranids, which need to be proven by sacrificing human lives, such as what the Tyranids call for reinforcements and what the mechanism for the reinforcements to respond is.
If you understand this, you may be able to use fishing tactics.
However, even if the fishing tactic was successful, it only delayed the full-scale invasion of the Tyranids.
Just like a special existence said when evaluating the Warhammer 40K universe: The human empire, and even the galaxy, the Warhammer 40K universe was either destroyed by the evil god or destroyed by the swarm in the end, which is almost doomed, so it is desperate!
