Chapter 630: The Emperor's Family

Gu Hang flashed across the entire kingdom of God, delivering messages and asking for some help.

These flaming skeleton warriors and golden-armored angels with wings on their backs came silently and without saying a word. They did not communicate with Gu Hang at all, but just helped in the battle silently.

Although Gu Hang did not get any additional information, no voice said anything to him.

However, the mere fact that the Kingdom of God flashed by and someone came to help, this incident itself already contains a huge amount of information.

Gu Hang was very grateful for this.

Since the other party had no intention of communicating, Gu Hang did not force it and did not say much.

He did not forget that his most important job was to solve problems.

The ones who came here were just extra help, which could make it easier for Gu Hang to solve the problem and help him to guard his retreat. The real problem still needed to be solved by himself.

And Gu Hang has also found a solution.

The Thunder Nation flickered, dispelling the shadows, even if only for a moment.

The shadow dissipated, revealing the essence that controlled everything inside.

It was a thing in the subspace that looked like a human figure.

Gu Hang was sure that it was Varuk.

Or it could be said that it was Varuk's soul, will, thoughts... whatever it was, a projection in the subspace.

When illuminated by the flash, Gu Hang could even catch a glimpse of the surprise on his face.

Gu Hang didn't really care about what kind of emotions Varuk had. What he cared about was the information he sensed from his projection at that moment. This included his specific location in the real universe, and how to descend directly from the subspace to his side by using the collected information and coordinates.

Although this looks similar to conventional psychic teleportation, the actual operating logic is completely different.

Conventional psychic transmission is not feasible when the subspace is covered by shadows. But at this moment, Gu Hang can force the Thunder Kingdom to flash again, even if it will cost him a lot of power reserves and reduce the time he can last in this endless consumption.

Anyway, he didn't expect to win this war in the subspace through a war of attrition.

In addition, Gu Hang also noticed another point, that is, surrounding the figure representing Varuk, there was a long worm entwined around his body, but he seemed to be unaware of it.

Gu Hang was very concerned about this thing.

Sure enough, things are not something that can be done by a simple great sage. Gu Hang's Storm Kingdom, after all, developed from the level of a lesser god, and with the expansion of the alliance, the huge population size trusted Gu Hang, devoured a great demon, a brainworm tyrant, and the growth rate of the entire kingdom was very high. In the entire subspace, even those powerful natives, it is not easy to find someone who can defeat Gu Hang.

If that’s the case, how could a great sage who has been working hard for dozens or hundreds of years to research and create a subspace shadow be so powerful that he could completely cover and even suppress such a powerful Storm Kingdom as Gu Hang?
From the looks of it, it's clear that this subspace shadow has another reason.

In fact, if Gu Hang thought about it more broadly, it was not just the subspace shadow created by Varuk, his series of Zerg technologies might also have something fishy.

The Empire encountered the Zerg and fought against it, and it was not only the Imperial Star Region. The Zerg was a typical threat to the entire Empire. There were many Imperial forces that had dealt with it. The major Mechanicus sects had obtained various Zerg corpses as materials, and there must have been a lot of living samples. Why didn't other Mechanicus come up with this kind of technology?

Could it be because of other religious dishes?
Obviously unreasonable.

The Alfonzo sect is considered a relatively strong Mechanicus sect, but it is definitely not the strongest one. For the Zerg, a great enemy of the Empire, there must be more than one or two sects, even Mars is studying it. If they can't figure it out, then it's either useless or the technology path is wrong. Alfonzo was able to use biotechnology transformation because of some special factors.

That could only be the Queen of Insects that Sage Moro mentioned before.

Is it really Paul Varluk and his men who control the Zerg?
Is the swarm so easy to control?

Gu Hang expressed his doubts about this.

The situation may be more complicated, but it will not affect what Gu Hang will do next.

He had already locked onto Varuk's position following the last flash of Thunder Nation, so the next thing to do was to get to his side!
The Thunder Nation flickered again, and the shadow of the subspace was dispelled once again.

Although he returned the next moment, the difference was that Gu Hang was no longer in the Storm God Kingdom. At the same time, the 500 Space Marines of the Shadow Regiment on standby on the Jinguan also disappeared.

……

Varuk felt uneasy.

Those two flashes of lightning in the subspace really made him uneasy.

Before this, he always felt that he had a sure win.

In the real universe, his army had the upper hand. Although it was a pity that the main fleet of the Alliance successfully reached Aramita, here, compared to the Alliance that had just stolen this world by beheading and military oppression, this place was more like Varuk's home ground.

Even with the presence of Moro, the former Forging General, he could not erase the influence that the Alfonzo sect had established over thousands of years.

If the Alliance had completed the purge in Aramita and eliminated the Alfonzo faction, it might still be a bit troublesome. But under the current circumstances, as long as Varuk put in a little effort, the resistance of the entire planet was justified.

The alliance was forced into a dilemma. Aramita, which was thought to be a solid backing, became a time bomb. Once the planet was taken down from the ground, coupled with the blockade of the outer periphery by Varuk's fleet, the alliance's main force would be destroyed under the double attack!
At the same time, the biggest threat in the alliance, Gu Hang himself, was also firmly trapped by the shadow of the subspace and was unable to play any role.

The entire war was carried out step by step according to his previous plan.

He was full of ambition and felt that if he pushed forward step by step according to the plan, the final victory would be his.

It’s just a mere alliance, nothing more than that.

Of course, not everything was within his expectations. For example, he did not expect that Gu Hang actually owned a subspace kingdom. He also did not expect that the Space Marines' assault would cause him to lose one and severely damage two battlecruisers.

However, these were all planned changes. He had already overestimated Gu Hang's strength as much as possible, and now Gu Hang's performance was just as expected. Anyway, the subspace shadow he activated was still able to suppress Gu Hang. It was enough to achieve this step.

Including the Space Marines' assault, the loss of the battlecruiser was painful, but it was also within the acceptable range. As long as the main force of the alliance could be annihilated here, the price paid was bearable.

It wasn't until the lightning flashed that he began to feel uneasy.

After the first flash, he noticed that many things that shouldn’t appear appeared in Gu Hang’s Thunder Kingdom.

As a great sage, he had some knowledge of many strange phenomena in the history of the empire, even if he had not done in-depth research. This kind of flaming skeleton space warrior and golden armored angel belonged to this category.

According to some accounts of the state religion, these are all manifestations of the Emperor. According to legend, when the most loyal citizens of the empire are under great threat and face a life-or-death situation, these extraordinary beings who guard the Emperor after his ascension will appear under the Emperor's golden throne to save the loyal citizens of the empire from danger.

Another group of scholars and the Mechanicus believe that these things are actually similar to Chaos Demons in nature. There are differences, but the differences are not big. Chaos Demons are nothing more than those evil gods who are full of malice towards humans. They come to the real universe to spread chaos and do evil. These, on the other hand, are the followers of the Emperor and are kind to humans.

But in general, the records of their occurrence are actually quite rare. How can we take them into consideration when making normal plans?
If you have to consider it, then don't do anything. No matter how perfect the plan is, no matter how high the success rate is, if you take into account the emperor's followers who may appear at any time and in any number, and whose individual strength is very strong, then it will not succeed.

Varuk didn't think he had made a mistake.

However, whether or not you make mistakes is not important; what is important is the current situation you are facing and how to solve it.

At first, he was quite worried. What if there were too many of these emperor's followers and they came out together with the heroes?
But later I found out that there was no need to worry too much.

The number of the Emperor's followers was not too large. Their existence mainly made the confrontation in the Storm God Country slightly biased towards Gu Hang, but it was not a big deal.

While he was relieved, he remembered another feeling.

At the moment when the lightning flashed, he felt as if he was suddenly exposed, just like a person who was plotting in a dark corner and suddenly had a strong flashlight shined on his face.

Although the exposure was only for a moment and did not seem to have any consequences, he still felt as if he had been stripped naked.

This made him quite uneasy.

He subconsciously gave orders to strengthen the guards in the real universe and around him.

Although he kept comforting himself that this was just a precaution, under the shadow of the subspace, no matter how powerful Gu Hang was, he could not use his psychic powers to do anything to himself in the real universe.

However, that strong feeling of uneasiness was rapidly turning into a foreboding direction of danger.

Until, the thunder flashed again, and the shadow of the subspace was briefly dispelled again.

This time, he not only felt that he was exposed once again, but the uneasiness and foreboding of danger in his heart were extremely magnified, to the point that they materialized into continuous, sharp buzzing sounds of insects!
A Space Marine dressed in gray without any markings appeared in front of him!

He moved subconsciously, and several biological weapons emerged from his black and red robes, and the firepower instantly enveloped the Space Marine.

Before he could do anything, his power armor was corroded and riddled with holes. The next moment, Varuk's guards rushed forward and tore the severely injured Space Marine to pieces.

But despite this, Varrick's face still looked very ugly.

He only saw a Space Marine, but it was obvious that it had suddenly arrived in front of him through some means of teleportation.

So the question is: will there only be one Space Marine teleporting over?

Obviously impossible.

Varuk heard the sound of fierce gunfire coming from various places near and far around him.

A moment later, the report finally arrived.

Reports stated that they were attacked by unknown Space Marines.

The number of Space Marines is unknown, and the attack area is scattered around Varuk himself. They are gathering quickly.

Varuk figured out what was going on: perhaps these Space Marines were too anxious when teleporting, and they failed to accurately teleport to Varuk's location as the target location. All the Space Marines were scattered around him.

And now, they are gathering.

The Crusaders on their own ships were also caught off guard. After all, no one could have imagined that a large guy in power armor or a group of them would suddenly appear out of nowhere next to them.

They simply could not stop the scattered Space Marines from regrouping, and once they regrouped, the destructive power they could cause would increase further.

Varrick had calmed down from his panic, and the situation was not yet so bad that it could not be contained. One by one, commands were sent out from the electron beam that connected his body to the ship's command system, contacting the various religious forces on the ship.

Their next goal is to prevent the Space Marines from gathering as much as possible.

Even if we cannot stop them, we must try our best to destroy their manpower in the process.

In addition to the troops responsible for the encirclement and suppression, the Crusaders also set up one line of defense after another under Varrick's command as much as possible, mainly near his location and key locations on the ship. The goal was to protect his safety and the safety of the ship.

At the same time, he also tried his best to make use of his own military strength.

There was no need to mobilize troops from other ships. Just on the Alfonzo I, where he was, there were nearly 100 million people.

After all, these were not ordinary warships, but mechanical arks. Just from the ship specifications, they were several times larger than ordinary battleships. Putting aside the combat power, at least the number of people that could be carried was dozens or even hundreds of times more than that of ordinary battleships.

As long as those Space Marines fail to complete the strategic mission of beheading or destroying the Ark in the first place, then as time goes on, the Space Marines will be increasingly submerged in the surging tide of the Crusaders.

In other words, the longer it takes, the safer Varuk will be.

It can even be said that the most dangerous moment has passed.

Varuk felt that he could start researching how Gu Hang had managed to teleport under the shadow of the subspace, and how much did it have to do with the previous flash of the Thunder Kingdom?
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a loud noise.

The magnificent, tightly-closed door of the mechanical cathedral at the core of the ship where he was was blasted open by some even more majestic force.

The flying fragments of the door caused chaos inside.

Varuk stared at the gate and saw a figure floating in the air and slowly flew in.

I'm not really playing Starfighter 2...

I suddenly received the notice last night, and before I could react, I was already in Shenyang, without even bringing my computer.

I will probably be in Shenyang for three days, and I will try my best to find opportunities to write and update my articles!
I really want to go home early and play Starfighter 2...
