Chapter 220 Surviving today is victory!
The deadly blue-band radiation of the Sternelos blue supergiant hangs high above the gloomy and thick lead-like clouds of pollution and steam, with only a little faint brightness used to illuminate the planet Medusa. Rough, sandy and rocky ground.
The black hawk gave a long cry in the white clouds above the Hollow Mountains.
Fulgrim Ishtar came to his senses in his amniotic fluid chamber.
His remaining lips from the body gifted by the Sons of Dorne moved, and more stimulation allowed his spirit to recover from the mechanical and callousness that hinted at him. He once again felt the emotions around him. Freezing temperatures.
"The temperature control system still needs to be adjusted slightly to be comfortable, otherwise it will affect the speed of my sword by about one hundredth of a millisecond." He thought this way, and then quickly obtained two new ones in his outer logic circuit. think.
"——Negative. The probability that a battle may occur or require high-speed movement within one hundred and twenty standard Terra hours after this second is estimated to be as high as 66.11%, as a backup In the heat dissipation procedure, the temperature circulation tube of the amniotic fluid chamber should not increase its temperature in advance. "
" - Negative, your main weapon is now set to the Medusa-type high-energy plasma cannon, your close combat. The weapon is currently configured as a powered claw with a built-in incinerator. "
" - Warning that radiation levels on Sterneros are becoming unstable, predicting that stratigraphic folding activity is about to begin again, with more to come. Tools, soldiers and tribes are approaching the Kalash Mountains."
"Yes, you are right," he murmured to a certain being in his own small environment.
"Thank you, I always forget to make more advance estimates like them, even though my system can do it. Thank you, Garuda."
The sharp curved claws of the golden mechanical bird are tightly Clutched to the shoulder of the Contemptor's Holy Dreadnaught, it appears to be motionless, like a decorative craft bird.
But Fulgrim Ishtar could hear a chirp coming to him from the link between both parties with an electric sound: expressing affirmation, a little joy, and reminding him not to forget it next time. meaning.
He nodded silently in the amniotic fluid chamber to his partner who could not see the movement.
Then the iron feet, now painted black and bearing the mark of the Iron Hands, led Fulgrim to move from the unique diorite rock here - this special and super hard The ground kept him from having to reveal the actual weight of his Contemptor machine.
The observation position they found for him today was very good. On this ground, he could safely fill up his metal shell with various attack and defense means - forget about escaping, unless he could figure out a way to let him go. He and Garuda flew out of the entire Sterneros galaxy together.
——In addition to the Medusa homeworld and the Iron Hands fleet dock above it, there are also a Mechanicus research world, a Mechanicus research station, and finally a Mechanicum research world running on several levels of planetary orbits in this galaxy. There is also an Iron Hands' own detection and surveillance station maintaining a high level of vigilance in the outer reaches of the galaxy.
The reason why he did not dare to install more modules when the ground strength was not enough was because Fulgrim knew very well that absolutely everyone among the senior officers of the Iron Hands here was a real six-way observer. Listening to all directions - their little secrets that violate the orders of the Primarch, their close connection with Mars and the ultra-high degree of mechanization of the clan company itself are enough to support their 360-degree sensor analysis function. As a disguise, he The weight cannot exceed what it should be, because in theory any modifications to him must have been made by the Iron Fathers.
Although I only have one little secret... well.
But one is enough. Fulgrim Ishtar has no intention of explaining where he comes from to the Iron Fathers on Medusa, the home planet of the loyal Iron Hands. Phoenix and politely asked them if they could send themselves back to find the Iron Blood of the Iron Warriors.
The sounds of many slight collisions of machinery and rocks, the buzzing of super-giant anti-gravity vehicles, the sound of sand and rocks on the ground being blown away and hitting everywhere, and the noise of the ultra-high-intensity communication electromagnetic pulse unique to the Iron Hands all surged together. got into his ears.
Although his current hearing cannot exceed that of his original extraordinary body, the Lyman Ears of the Space Marines and the Dreadnought sensor collection system modified by the Primarch himself still allow him to hear from the sound. Analyze more than others. It's a "Hall of Conquest" that's coming here. He thought, which clan?
Then he skillfully but not subconsciously wrote his question in an encrypted binary code, and asked the guards of the Karagu clan who were guarding him (or rather he The de facto jailers) issued their own inquiries.
Soon a reply came respectfully but coldly: the person who came was none other than Malkan Feros, the most maverick among the Iron Hands but also widely (especially after the Battle of the Highland Years) received Revered by warriors and clans alike, one of the Iron Fathers.
Oh, Phoenix Fire, why is it him?
Fulgrim felt a headache.
In fact, after he woke up in the dark, cold and terrifying rest warehouse in the Gorgon Forge, which was nominally a huge number of Iron Hands Dreadnoughts - but actually contained many other "things" .
Fulgrim spent about 3 standard seconds in shock to determine what was in front of him, and spent more seconds to force his reason to control his anger and killing. Desire - his and Garuda's angry and shocked emotions impacted each other, but instead made them calm down quickly and start to analyze their situation.
In the end, the ability and knowledge of a Primarch, coupled with his own power (although the accuracy will be slightly discounted in the hands of Dreadnought, but I am still very grateful to Pertura here for He installed a pair of relic-level high-precision powered bionic hands) with hands-on ability and some powerful assistance from Garuda who landed here with him.
——For example, as a crew member of the Sisyphus who actually acted and watched the entire journey from beginning to end, the Garuda Bird provided Fulgrim with an almost perfect set of identity codes: Sobek Wieland, The Iron Hands, the Broken Legion, were members of the Iron Hands who fought with Nikon Sarrokin on the Sisyphus and remained until the end. They were also the Iron Fathers from 10,000 years ago.
This identity is almost perfect, because their other comrades including Captain Brendan and Captain Taylor of the Sisyphus had already fallen on their way out, in order to let Nikona Sharo Jin took the Stack of Original Blood to escape Luna from the betrayed Sons of Horus——
The whole process recorded by Garuda allowed Fulgrim to know the original Wilander's final path. , he sincerely performed a small memorial ceremony for this hero and other heroes in his amniotic fluid chamber.
"They deserve to be remembered."
The only question was how to explain his presence here, in Medusa's crypt.
Fulgrim and Garuda reluctantly proved themselves to be Wieland, who had been salvaged from a world destroyed by orcs and then unconsciously buried in the Dreadnought, using a "just damaged" transport document.
Although he knew that many people still doubted his identity, after all, although there was no doubt, in the hands of Steel, where logic and calculation came first, his incident that seemed to be closely related to supernatural power was the biggest doubts.
But thanks to the fact that Garuda did clearly witness the entire journey of the Sisyphus, and the ancient divine fearlessness indeed witnessed the heroic appearance of Captain Brendan carrying Garuda——
Therefore, he, Fulgrim Ishtar, the Lord of the Third Legion, the returned phoenix from the fire, is currently on the Iron Hands' home planet of Medusa, as the latest active member of the Hamonk clan. The Divine Fearless and Iron Father Sobek Wieland event has successfully survived its ninth day.
During these nine days, he successfully used various tricks (plus more electronic fog, false and sophisticated logic codes, trap languages, etc.) to get past the attempts on his part by the members of the Hammonk clan. Overhaul, conversations with other Iron Fathers, and the embarrassment of the Mechanic Priest who wants to know the secret.
Malkan Feros was the last hurdle he had to overcome.
