Chapter 686 'Dead Money' Belfgang
Standard Terra Calendar, 942.M41
Planet Armageddon, Main Continent, Hades Hive
"The political commissar wants to see you now, Mr. Belfgang."
With the sound of leather shoes hitting the ground, an officer called him softly.
"Thank you."
The cloaked man stood up from the wooden bench at the end of the corridor, walked across the hall to the door of the briefing room, and smoothed the folds of his cloak and cape from his shoulders.
It is almost noon, and it is still very cold in this steeple. Originally, this tall tower had an independent power generation system that could heat up the ancient walls, like an oven.
But now, that system has been moved to where it is needed more, so the people here are wearing thick coats.
It’s just that he hasn’t had any physiological reactions to cold or heat for a long time, so he only needs a cloak.
Then he knocked on the door.
“Come in!”
He walked in. This large room has a row of columns on each side to support the roof. The top of the pillar was shaped into the image of a flying little angel. An iron table was placed in the center of the room, with Alex standing at one end.
"Political Commissar, nice to see you."
Then, the man slowly took off his cloak, revealing a patterned chrome mask that matched the man's face. They fit tightly together and outline the shape of the eyebrows, lips and teeth, with a strange sense of mystery.
And the back of his head is connected to a string of constantly flashing ganglia. This is a kind of psychic suppressor. It is a very high-end device in the empire and is difficult for mortals to access.
When Yarrick looked into the man's eyes, he also noticed that there was a shallow arc of spiritual light in the other person's eyes, making him look more like some kind of alien than a human.
But this man is indeed a human being, a psyker.
“I hope I wasn’t too rude.”
“It’s okay, Belfgang.”
Alex smiled slightly, a rare soft expression appearing on his haggard face.
Actually, he did not expect to find this person at first, because the existence of the other person was only spread among gang legends. In fact, it is difficult to determine whether it is true or false.
Legend has it that in the hive of Armageddon, there exists a very powerful psychic, nicknamed "Dead Money". It is said that he can destroy a gang with just a few moves, so many gangs want to win over him. , and offered a high price, but it was rumored that he only wanted things related to psychic energy and witchcraft, but this kind of thing was not easy to obtain, so very few people had actually seen him.
Of course, such an existence has naturally attracted imperial officials, the assassination chamber, the Inquisition and the Black Ship have arrived at Armageddon more than once. Each force wants to capture the illegal psyker for their own use. , but failed every time.
Even the almost omnipotent judges were unable to uncover this person. Some people once suspected that this was just a false legend.
But someone told Yaric that this was not a legend. In fact, that person did exist, and he was in the Hades Hive!
At that time, the greenskins were already approaching the city, and Yarrick could only ask that person to find this powerful psyker for him, and hoped that the other party could join the defense.
Actually, he didn’t have much hope. He was just treating a dead horse as a living doctor, but he didn’t expect a response a few days ago. The other party agreed to take action.
The only condition is that he hopes to get a shuttle after the war to allow him to leave the planet.
Yaric readily agreed. You know, according to insiders, this is an Epsilon-level psyker!
The empire has a clear division of psyker levels, which are divided into 24 levels in total, of which positive psionic power is level 17 and negative psionic power is level 7 - positive psionic power represents the strength of the psyker, and negative psionic power is Represents untouchable strength.
Popularity:
The first-order soft level, the second-order faction level - represents ordinary people.
The third level Omicron level, the fourth level Kesi level, the fifth level Niu level, the sixth level Mao level, the seventh level Lambda level, the eighth level Kappa level - these six levels of spirits Talents belong to the lowest category of talents, only possessing unconscious and slight mental activities in the brain. This low-level talent is only displayed in high-pressure situations and is beyond personal control. It is not practical until the Kappa level. ability.
The ninth-level Yota level, the tenth-level Theta level, and the eleventh-level Ita level—these three levels of psychics already have medium-level psychic talents. Individuals can control their abilities through hard work and training, which is a true sense of the word. Psykers, who serve in large numbers within the institutions of the Empire, are primarily governed by the Inquisition and the Astronomical Chambers.
The twelfth-order Zeta and the thirteenth-order Epsilon represent psykers with extremely high talents. After special training, their power is even comparable to that of the Astartes. The think tanks are comparable, and even the Epsilon class will surpass these imperial supermen. Another major feature of these two stages is that their psychic power will continue to grow and may break through to the next level.
Fourteenth Delta level, fifteenth Gamma level - a psyker of this level may not be born in a billion-level hive, and unless they are discovered soon, otherwise The untrained mind cannot handle this level of psychic energy, usually ending in death or possession, a level usually achieved by the Chapter's Librarian.
The next two levels are almost legendary.
Sixteenth-level Beta, seventeenth-level Alpha - this type of psyker is extremely rare and dangerous, because after discussion, the Imperial Medical Bureau agreed that the current level of human evolution is not enough to control those above the Beta level. Regarding psychic powers, only the Black Ship in the Star Torch Hall has records of the capture of Beta and Alpha-level psykers, and several heretical riots that have occurred in history are also related to Alpha-level psykers.
But on top of this, there is a legend within a legend, a being that even the twenty-four-point system cannot describe, a completely exceptional being in every aspect, the Super Alpha Psyker!
Theoretically, a super alpha psyker can accomplish anything through the force of his will, from splitting a titan in half to summoning an entire legion of demons, or brainwashing an entire galaxy, due to its dangerous nature , the empire’s official attitude towards such psychics has only one word -
Kill!
On the other hand, the levels of negative psykers from weakest to strongest are Sigma level, Tao level, Apsilon level, Fei level, Kai level, Puxi level, Omega level, from Puxi Only at the beginning of the level can one be truly resistant to psychic energy. The Omega level is the untouchable. In a sense, Soshiyan should be called the Super Omega Untouchable.
Although an Epsilon-level psyker cannot withstand thousands of troops, it is at least more useful than a regiment in key positions, not to mention that they have eaten enough green skins these days. Psykers suffer.
"Sit down, there is freshly brewed black tea here, although this is the only thing."
"Thank you, I haven't had tea for a long time."
Belfgang sat down to Ya When facing Rick, he used his psychic powers to sense his surroundings.
In an instant, he noticed the weak and young insight of the guard outside the door, his chattering thoughts, and his desperate and decadent soul.
There is no doubt that this siege exhausted everyone's energy.
But Political Commissar Yaric was different. Belfgang looked at Yaric across the table.
First of all, this political commissar is already a middle-aged man, not very strong, but very tough. Although his hair has been briefly combed, it still looks messy. Under his thick eyebrows are distinctive gray eyes, and his face is There were many tiny scars on it, like an abandoned failed statue.
He could feel Yarick's pain and sadness, but there was something even more intense on top of it, hatred, fighting spirit, responsibility, unyielding——
