Chapter 260 The Ship of the Curse
The roaring Thunder Eagle directly broke through the fragile part of the flying Tallan's hull. This kind of civilian ship does not have as many armor belts as military ships, so the Thunder Eagle is sufficient for boarding. ship work.
The moment he entered the hull, Soshyan suddenly realized that maybe what he had just seen was real - the hull had begun to breathe.
But it was still metal, and it screamed as the beam tore it apart.
When the Thunderhawk landed, Soshyan immediately ordered the team to assemble, and their goal was to go to the bridge on the upper deck.
Only Team Ustad plus Chaplains and Techmarines followed Soshyan on this boarding. As the airlock doors burst open, twelve Space Marines rushed into the corridors of the corrupted ship.
"What is this-"
The corridor was filled with purple mist, like a miasma that mixed intoxicating aroma and pheromones.
Soshiyang snorted in disgust, and the miasma exploded under the storm that froze the soul.
As he walked down the corridor, the mist clinging to various objects receded.
He noticed the ugly shadow in the turbulence of subspace, but in the face of the powerful power of gray marrow, the raging of subspace in the material world calmed down. The material world once again appeared in this subspace crack, and the continuity of the scene also changed. Cease to exist.
The icy fury temporarily burned away the corruption of the Warp, and the filth that came with the Warp shrank before him.
The corridor is wide, with enough room for two Space Marines to advance side by side.
But Soshyan took the lead, walking a few steps ahead of the team.
Because the other battle brothers all wear power armor, only Soshyan wears a stronger Terminator - after a year of hard work, he has initially mastered the driving skills of the Terminator, although there is still a lot of work to do. Improved, but no problem at all in use.
As Sevatar said, only after you truly put on this powerful armor can you truly realize that it gives you more than just defense.
At this moment, Soshyan could clearly feel that every tight metal muscle fiber contained explosive energy, waiting for him to release.
Every step he took, the ground would vibrate, and even the hum of the server itself made the air vibrate.
Compared to the warriors behind him, he, who was already very tall, truly looked like a giant at this time, just like the sons of gods who had passed away or fallen...
Along the way, Everyone is cautiously aware of their surroundings.
The corridors were decorated with tapestries that had been corrupted, the original appearance of the paintings still visible, just corrupted enough to be seen as desecrated.
The solemn ceremony turned into an obscene orgy, the scene of victory turned into a celebration of atrocities, the human hero twisted and deformed, his limbs elongated, sinuous and graceful, writhing in blood.
Even the fabrics of the tapestries were corrupted, they throbbed like worms and organs, writhing with no air movement.
Beyond these tapestries, the door to the bridge is open.
"The enemy must know we are here."
Ustad glanced both sides with his bolter.
"Where are they?"
"It looks like they ran away in fear before we got here. Where is the expected fight?"
Rogris He said it half-jokingly, but Soshyan knew that he was really looking forward to the battle, and he had prepared a lot of new things.
The team continued to move forward, but the hall was unusually empty.
"Brothers, be patient."
Priest Yazdan is always the most nervous and vigilant person, and he has a strong hatred for these warp enemies.
"Especially you, Rogris, the enemy will come."
But Soshyan also felt puzzled. The ship had been seriously corrupted. He even expected that in the corridor May be ambushed.
But why would those demons leave an intact entrance to the bridge?
The Astral Knights passed through the door. Although it was beyond recognition, the ship was still running, and some important machine spirits had not yet been affected.
The upper deck was not contaminated to the point of being unable to function at all, allowing the flying Tallarn to be guided to a destination.
But other places have been surrounded by madness.
The walls and vaulted ceilings are painted in blood and guts, and giant runes cover the original artwork - things that are snarling and twisted in an attempt to titillate the human brain and tactilely Evoking their rawest, most horrific nightmares. Ahead of the road appeared a pile of debris, on top and around it were metal crosses on which the crew and servants had been crucified and beheaded. What's even more terrifying is that their soulless, restless bodies are still twisting in endless pain.
Death has become a luxury here.
Soshyan stopped in front of the wreckage.
"They opened the door deliberately just to let us see this. The enemy hopes that someone can see their masterpiece."
He issued an angry voice from the respirator of his helmet. come out.
"Okay, we've seen that, now purify these poor people!"
Rogris randomly walked forward with his enhanced flamethrower. This weapon can compress the flame into a line and spray it far away, or it can also form a huge fan in front.
After the technical sergeant pulled the trigger, the holy flames ignited the holy oil and issued a white breath, freeing the twitching corpses.
The crucifix also turned into black coal.
Soshyan turned from the flames and stared at the traces of the warp, looking for any sign of attack.
The subspace here is even more chaotic, and unknown forces are surging.
"What do you feel, Chapter Master?"
The priest asked.
“The warp is churning.”
“Where does the chaos come from?”
“At the intersection of two places.”
They came in through the starboard door, and the port door was also open.
"They want to attack us from both front and rear."
They are now in the center of the viaduct, facing the intersection ahead. The enemy does not seem to have any intention of holding on, but is preparing to launch an attack.
"What are your orders, Chapter Master?"
"This is a pathetic trap, and our enemies are not ready to deal with us."
"What do you mean?"
The priest asked curiously. He did not know as much as Soshyan about the power of subspace, because Thor and Brother Said always only taught Soshyan these taboo knowledge.
“Now, the subspace turbulence has only reached the level where we can feel that we may be attacked.”
Soshiyan pointed to the wreckage just now.
"This blasphemous object may have to wait centuries before anyone can see it, but it does not provide much power to the creation of Chaos. In order to attack us, the enemy has to muster what little strength it has. But on the other hand the entire ship has been corrupted by a powerful force."
"What conclusion did you draw?"
"This level of corruption requires tremendous power, but it is not the demons now on the ship. They cannot do this. The real power behind the corruption has It’s not here anymore, what we will face is just the corrupt mark left by it.”
The priest nodded, finally understanding what Soshiyang meant.
"Then we have to know where it went and what it was, so we need navigation records for this ship."
Then he glanced at the corrupted workstation.
"But we can't find this information here."
"Then let's go to the captain's cabin."
