Chapter 2032 The Incredible Hulk
Although there are many rumors, the mysterious soul furnace is limited to rumors. Huron is also dubious about it because he thinks it is unlikely to have such a powerful arsenal. Will be out of Khorne's control. After all, Khorne's army is famous for its huge war machinery.
When he blinked his dry eyeballs, the mirror had disappeared, and the robe once again enveloped the mysterious mechanical heretic.
Huron took two steps back and looked at the other person carefully. After making sure that this was not a demon in disguise, he hissed:
"Who is your master?"
"A generous person who is willing to help you."
"Generosity? Hahaha! I, Huron, have never seen anything related to these two in subspace in my life. It doesn't even want to reveal its name. So what? What kind of cooperation are you talking about? "
"It's not cooperation, but transaction. Cooperation requires trust, and transaction only depends on whether it is worth it or not."
Huron narrowed his eyes.
“So what is it trading for?”
"Blackstone Fortress."
For a moment, the sharp claws on Huron's hand moved slightly, as if he was about to tear the guy in front of him into pieces in the next second.
But he held it back, and he knew that he would not be able to hide this matter forever.
“It wants Blackstone Fortress?”
“Exactly.”
"This is not cheap."
"Of course, this is an ancient treasure. Our Lord pays attention to the equality of contracts."
"So, what can it provide?"
< br>"The war weapons you urgently need, as well as the battleships that can fight against the Indomitable Truth, and more powerful help you can't imagine."
Despite being mentally prepared, Huron was still moved. It is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is rare to provide help in times of need.
But he did not forget the principles of dealing with demons.
Never expect a true "fair deal" from the devil.
“Everyone will say it, but how can you prove that you have this kind of strength?”
“If you are willing, you can move to the abyss of darkness. My Lord has set the balance of trading. "
The Dark Abyss is an uninterrupted space deep in the maelstrom. Sometimes Huron will use it as a passage for fleets to move quickly. However, due to its instability, large forces generally cannot Don't usually go there.
After much thought, Huron decided to go take a look.
After that, he led a small fleet straight to the Dark Abyss, but when he got there, there was nothing.
Just as Huron was about to question the messenger, a huge beast emerged from the abyss of darkness.
It looks like an irregular tumor, and its surface is covered with the remains of various ships and space facilities. There are the sharp bows of imperial warships and the twisted hulls of alien warships. They seem to be invisible. Their big hands pinched it together casually, forming a floating mass of aggregated garbage, but its size was almost the same as an asteroid.
And this thing is naturally familiar to Huron.
"That's it??"
He pointed to the slowly floating space hulk outside the huge observation window.
"I can have as many hulks as I want. If your master likes it, I can trade the hulks for something else, but I'm not too interested in hulks." But Huron's wizard lord After staring at the hulk for a while, Garon Sulet suddenly said softly:
“It’s different.”
Huron turned his head.
“What did you find?”
“There is a powerful consciousness in it, no, or some kind of powerful overall consciousness is spread throughout the ship. I have never I’ve seen such a ruined ship before.”
Huron withdrew his gaze and looked at the guy who called himself a puppet.
"If you're not busy, explain it."
"This space hulk is called the Savage Crucible. It first appeared in the Drus sector of the Calixis sector in 591.M39. At that time, it was controlled by a group of warbands from the World Eaters who plundered Calixis. Several edge galaxies in the Si star area"
"What now?"
"It has been modified by my master, and weapon turrets and shields have been installed at all locations where attachments can be added. Shield generators, teleportation arrays, and even hangars and additional engine rooms. Most of the equipment operates independently. They are able to generate their own air and power and are never in direct contact with spaces that are often unknown or full of dangers. Connected, it is a powerful battleship that can rival the Queen of Glory."
"Ha, who can't brag? There is no shortage of braggarts in the subspace."
"You can see for yourself. ”
Huron then looked at Armenius Vartex, his technical advisor and dimensional blacksmith, and the only person he could possibly call a "friend" now. The other person had been remotely scanning the data of this hulk, and finally He came to a conclusion.
“This thing is so complex yet complete. It is even equipped with omnidirectional engines and shields. It is incredible. How does it connect and integrate many subsystems? Or are these just illusions? It's just like other hulks, just a dead fish that can't move in the void?"
Both advisers and confidants gave the opinion that this thing is a bit weird, and Huron had to believe that this was probably not the case. An ordinary hulk.
"Okay, let me see what doorway there is inside."
Huron then boarded the landing craft and met with his cronies, including Armenius Vartex, Gallon... Sulet, Turazan, Champion Guard Kata, and his Terminator Guards.
When the landing craft came to a stop on the dark tarmac of the hulk, Huron could feel the weak subspace power flowing through the hatch, and his pet also made a strange cry, which was very rare. , which means it creates "confusion".
Being able to confuse the little thing in this subspace means that there is something beyond its understanding.
As the hatch opened and the ramp descended, Huron smelled rust, corroded flesh, and the rancid stench of some dark sacrifice.
Stepping out of the landing craft, he looked up and saw that the huge apron was empty, but all the equipment was operating, even the warning lights everywhere were flashing normally, and some rituals could be seen on the walls and floors. The formation also has huge runes, which are engraved directly on the metal using high temperatures.
Garen squatted down to study those magic circles, and then came to a conclusion.
"They are protective magic circles. Their function is usually to keep the demonic power out. However, these magic circles have some slight modifications and become the function of restraining the demons in a certain area. But on such a scale, it is such a big hand. , I am afraid it may not be possible to complete it with human power in hundreds or even thousands of years."
Huron nodded and led the team towards the hangar exit, but when he noticed something, he stopped.
He saw something, or an instrument, which was composed of steel and gears, boilers and pistons, and seemed to have something similar to biomass mixed in. All of this was integrated in some twisted way. , surrounded by trembling limbs, bulging eyeballs and fluttering cilia.
"What is that."
Huron pointed with his huge claws at the thing that made a mechanical clicking sound.
"Ferryman."
"Explain clearly."
"Yes, His Majesty the Black Heart King, you should be able to understand that in the real world, no existing bridge design can command For a ship as huge and weird as the Space Hulk, no cogitator array or mortal mind can reliably operate the ship's internal systems that have been exposed to subspace for a long time, so this combination of demons and machines must be used. instruments to undertake most of the crew’s functions”
