Chapter 931 Extreme Panic
The Warp is a place where answers can never be obtained because the human brain cannot understand it, which is why only individuals with psychic mutations can see it.
Even then, the Navigator's third eye doesn't really perceive it, they just filter out the parts that would drive mortals crazy.
Of course, among the creatures closing in on the Revenge, there is something akin to a snake and a shark combined.
In fact, they are neither creatures nor ghosts, but some kind of transmutation state of human souls, which have been distorted by the power of darkness and become some kind of amorphous creation.
These creations locked onto the Revenge from all directions at the same time. They crept up from the past, glided from the future, and gathered at a fragile point in time and space, relying on this point in time and space to imprison the Revenge in their desires.
They have eyes, lots and lots of eyes, and their bodies are piled with a bunch of insignificant things that can turn into any shape, because they have no real shape, but they always have eyes.
In a sense, they also have wings, claws and fangs, and plenty of scalding liquid to withstand the coldness of warp storms.
They were roasted by the flames, glistening as the flames melted, and the ice on their scales was as sharp as daggers.
All demons are born in the abyss of the spiritual realm and have never been forced by reality to transform into any form. Remaining the same from one moment to the next is to them what distortion is to the human brain. Just as strange.
Suddenly, one of them opened its mouth, and the Predator positioned himself at the same endpoint as the Vengeance, forcing himself into an unfamiliar world to avoid being annihilated by the energy field surrounding the ship.
The minds inside are full of crazy potential, and delicious souls can be sucked into them.
Most of the time, the predators of the Warp feed on scraps - moments of emotion or pain, or fragments of the stripped soul.
But here, food is so plentiful that it would make any predator bloated and terrifying, like a whale drifting in the abyss, opening its mouth to swallow huge amounts of plankton.
Thousands of bright lights flicker within the ship, each a potential feast and passageway for immaterial predators.
Soon it discovers an unprotected mind, painfully able to free itself from the constraints of reality and force its way into Food's mind.
Then it laughed and swooped down.
“Watch out!!!”
Screaming is the first sign that something is wrong on the deck.
The huge laser cannon is connected to the plasma reactor at the stern of the ship, which has remained silent since the battle broke out.
The gunners still think it can fight, because lasers are fickle, especially since they still need the power to fight giant ships. In order to ensure that there are no problems during use, the technical priests are constantly cleaning the dirt and dirt on the laser focusing lenses. When cleaning pipes, any tiny flaw can cause uncontrollable forces to lead in unpredictable directions.
But suddenly,
A worker fell from a height, where he had been facing a huge mirror.
The worker fell to the ground and the foreman knew he must be dead, it was a sound he had heard many times before.
The foreman is not eager to know what happened to the workers who fell to the ground. This kind of thing is too common, especially in battle, but death means trouble.
If there is one less person here, people will have to be pulled from other parts of the ship, and the Revenge has already lost many people, and they are in the abyss without help.
But the workers were nervous because the inexplicable accidental death of a person was unlucky.
Some people say that if you die on a spaceship, you will never get out. Even if the crew members are baptized into the national religion, they cannot stop the superstition born in the empty shell.
However, the dead man was not dead.
When the foreman walked to the body, he saw that the body was howling like an animal that fell into the water, and its wrists and ankles were shaking, as if it was returning to normal. The foreman expressed his dissatisfaction that the man was still alive, as he was sure to die soon and transporting him to the infirmary would be an unnecessary drain on manpower.
"Anyway, I will transform into a servitor in a while, so I will relieve you."
The foreman raised the electric shock baton, preparing to give this guy a blow on the head to make him die completely.
But then, he took a step back in fear during the interview.
“Damn it! What’s going on!”
The dying man's body swelled as his ribs cracked, one side of his body separated from the other, and as the pelvis split, so did his organs.
The sternum of the corpse was broken, and the ribs hit the laser shield next to it. There were countless things squirming under the skin, as if ripples were appearing, and the whole body quickly turned into a writhing and pulsating flesh and blood. And the bones were in a bowed state, and sticky blood dripped onto the metal deck at the same time.
Then, the dead crew member's head tilted to one side, his jaw twisted at an angle, and his eyes were still open. (Inspired by the movie "The Thing", you can watch it if you haven't seen it)
"God Emperor!! What is that!!"
"Monster! Heretic! Heretic!"
>
"Ugh——"
Everyone made a sound of panic, but the space in the laser deck suddenly became distorted and darkened.
The predator forced its way through the barrier, its shadow spreading across the floor like the contents of a gaping belly, and then the body's remaining skin split open and eyes squeezed out, blinking. Blinking in and out of light.
The screaming started.
What followed was a massacre, an absolute massacre.
Warning icons flashed in the spacecraft, and the communicator was accompanied by crazy screams and howls of demons and monsters. In order to avoid spreading fear, the bridge directly cut off the communication connection.
This kind of thing happened one after another on the Revenge, and along with the red pirates jumping gangs, came all kinds of twisted and grotesque demons.
Admiral Kalanswo desperately tried to mobilize all the forces at hand to resist the enemy.
The Revenge contains the most elite anti-repulse gang troops. They are well-equipped and well-trained, no less than the stormtroopers of the Astra Militarum. They are capable of fighting even against the Chaos Space Marines.
But facing the demons, they were unable to do anything. They could only rely on the psychic barriers barely erected by the navigators to protect most areas of the battleship from being directly penetrated by the demons.
But those demons that have already penetrated need more professional and powerful troops.
For this reason, Admiral Kalansworth requested the assistance of the Astral Knights.
Lothar's fourth company now only has thirty-five warriors. These troops are the key to protecting the Soul Messenger. But in the face of Admiral Kalanswo's continuous requests, Lothar realized that the Revenge It's very possible that I can't support it any longer.
If this flagship is destroyed, then the war situation will be very, very not optimistic.
Therefore, Lothar could only grit his teeth and mobilized ten warriors to form a support team, led by Robin, who used two-way transmission to directly reach the Revenge, and also brought along five castle-level combat robots.
