Chapter 625, Invasion of the Kingdom of God
Warp Shadow, it's a scary thing.
There are records of this in the history of the empire.
This phenomenon always occurs when extremely large insect swarms appear.
Imperial scholars believe that this is a typical real-world phenomenon affecting the warp, and to some extent, proves the existence of an academic faction.
They believe that the Warp is a projection of the real universe. Creatures, souls, thoughts, emotions... and the like in the real universe are projected into the subspace and form twisted power.
The subspace shadow is exactly the product of this concept.
The insect swarm has no active consciousness, no thoughts or emotions.
Because of this, when they gather on a large scale and have a will of the insect swarm to consciously dominate, then these unconscious insect swarms can cover the subspace power in the corresponding area into their own appearance: no Consciousness, there is no subspace power invested. The subspace in the entire area will turn into darkness, and naturally there will be no subspace power that can be 'borrowed' from this area to the real universe.
The direct manifestation in the real universe is that the psychic power possessed by all psykers will be greatly weakened or even cut off directly. If it is used forcibly, it can be squeezed out a little, but it is very dangerous and can easily be subdued. The space shadow covers itself, which will directly lead to death.
Regardless of whether the teachings of this school are true or not, at least the phenomena they describe are true and correct.
The special thing about Gu Hang's situation is that Gu Hang is not an ordinary psyker, and it is not the shadow of the subspace that can cut off the connection between him and the subspace. He himself possesses part of the subspace essence, and the entire subspace area constitutes his Kingdom of Storm God, directly providing him with power.
'Shadow of subspace', or rather, Varuk was also surprised.
This technology of manipulating subspace shadows was developed by him, but it also required paying a very high price and asking for help from the 'Great Mother' before it could be realized.
He was originally using it to deal with Gu Hang, no doubt. Now, there is a consensus among these traitors that if Gu Hang's psychic threat cannot be solved, not to engage in a decisive interstellar naval battle with him, that is courting death.
Even if our own fleet is really one level, or even two levels stronger than the alliance fleet, and can defeat the alliance fleet despite Gu Hang's psychic advantage, then don't fight.
Even if we win like this, the price will be too huge.
Earlier, the method adopted by Du Bo's fleet was to hang a neuroprotozoa inside. Generally speaking, this is a monster with the same strength as an Alpha-level psyker, and it can be controlled. Not only can it defeat Gu Hang, it can at least protect one's own fleet in a fleet war, right?
The conclusion is no.
Varuk also studied that battle, and based on the scraps of information after the war, he pieced together the entire picture of how Gu Hang defeated Du Bo's fleet.
That’s why we came up with something like ‘subspace shadow’.
I originally thought that Gu Hang was just a very powerful psyker. Once the shadow of subspace covered him, the problem would be solved.
But when the moment came, Varuk discovered that this was not the case at all.
That area that cannot be covered by subspace, that country of storms... So is this the source of Gu Hang's power? He was able to stably display the power of Alpha-level psychic energy. Unlike other Alpha-level psychics with records in the Empire, whose power was unstable and could harm themselves, the reason was that it turned out that Gu Hang was also a 'heretic'.
But how did he ensure that while he was a 'human', he could also possess a part of the subspace essence, similar to that of an evil god?
Varuk's curiosity as a researcher was greatly aroused.
He really wanted to get his hands on this precious scientific research sample that might not have been recorded in the entire history of mankind.
Win this battle and capture Gu Hang alive! As for the specific method, Varuk no longer pays attention to the part in the real universe. His Skitarii Marshal will be responsible for specific battle command.
As for himself, he sunk all his mind into the subspace to deal with and suppress Gu Hang.
The shadow of subspace evoked by him has enveloped the entire Kingdom of Storm God.
Just getting to this step is actually not enough. As long as the Kingdom of God exists, Gu Hang can borrow power from the Kingdom of Storms in the real universe, and can even share it with his storm mages, but it will be more troublesome, laborious, and difficult to use.
In fact, Varuk could feel that Gu Hang was already making attempts in this regard.
That won't let you break through!
The huge subspace shadow is not limited to surrounding, but begins to squeeze inward, even invading the Kingdom of Storm God.
……
"Our position is about to be lost!"
"Request artillery support!"
"Where are the armored units? Come up quickly. We can't continue to retreat like this. We must fight a counterattack and take back the position!"
Countless news spread among the heroic spirits, turning the entire Kingdom of Storms into a mess.
The invasion of subspace shadows has a very concrete symbol: the insect swarm.
The large shadow that shrouded the periphery of Shengguo seemed to be countless insects swarming together. And when it squeezed in, it really turned into countless insect beasts, launching an attack from all directions in the entire Kingdom of God, in the sky and on the ground.
In the past years, the Kingdom of Storms has already changed due to the persistent construction of countless heroic spirits. The desolate scene when the original angry owl took charge has completely become a thing of the past. The current Kingdom of Storms is a huge city shrouded in purple land and bathed in thunder.
Countless buildings stand in various forms, and the heroic spirits live peacefully among them.
They are all heroes who are loyal to the alliance. After death, they can enjoy eternal peace in Gu Hang's Kingdom of God.
But this time the invading insect swarm broke everything.
However, one cannot doubt the fighting ability of these heroic spirits.
They quickly picked up weapons and started a desperate battle with these swarms of insects that crawled out of the ground, flew from the sky, and rushed in from all directions.
The battle between the two sides was extremely fierce, and the ending could not be seen at a glance.
The insect swarm is boundless and endless; the number of heroic spirits is limited, and the total number of heroic spirits currently enshrined in Gu Hang's Kingdom of God has actually not exceeded 100 million.
But these tens of millions not only have a strong will to fight, but they are also immortal. After being wiped out by the insect swarm, they would often resurrect not far away, in an area still shrouded by Gu Hang's storm power.
It's like an eternal war, with both sides consuming each other.
