Chapter 286 Vashtor: I will eventually ascend to godhood!
One month later.
Mars.
Acid falls on the hive.
On the streets, the tech-priests were in a jubilant mood.
The damned oppressor, Forge-General Uldia, has been driven from power.
At the same time, the Machinery Forum also issued a new announcement to thank the technical priests for their righteous contributions.
Announced that the forum will restart in five days.
"Praise to the God of Machinery..."
among the celebrating crowd.
Buna held a brand new data tablet with the Xiaoling crest embedded in it, feeling unparalleled happiness.
That is knowledge and hope.
After the "Battle of Mars Judgment", the conservative forces headed by Foundry General Uldia disappeared.
The great Primarch, the Prince Regent and the combined forces of the Adeptus Mechanicus jointly declare:
Forge-General Uldia and his core members are heretics and rebels of the Mechanicus, who will be judged by the Mechanicus in the name of the Omnissiah.
After the trial.
A large number of conservative members were either punished or expelled from the core of power.
These technical priests who were persecuted by Udiya and other rebels were also rescued and received good treatment.
Happier still, Buna was free.
After the conservatives lost power, all their properties were confiscated and turned into the collective assets of the Mechanicus.
The weapons foundry where he has been working is also among them.
The Mechanicus will upgrade and transform those weapon foundries to a certain extent.
Rejuvenate it.
The proceeds will be used as public funds to support the research of some technical priests within the church.
Or invest in technical education.
This suggestion was put forward by the genius Kaul and was recognized by everyone.
Same old, harsh, rotten protocols.
All were also abolished.
"My God, Master Kaul is such a good person, and he is also one of the founders of the Mechanical Goddess Group!"
Buna, like the other Tech-Priests, admired Master Caul.
He had been notified that the technical confidentiality agreement that had bound his family for hundreds of years had completely expired.
This means that he can now work anywhere, or research freely.
If he wants, he can also sign a new agreement and continue to work in the previous weapons foundry.
Buhner has seen what the new agreement says.
Because the Mechanicus has realized that overly strict, rigid, decadent religious constraints and technological blockades will only bring about imprisonment.
Moreover, excessive suppression and restriction are more likely to allow chaos to creep in.
Otherwise, there would not be so many Tech-Priests who would not hesitate to betray humanity and fall into the arms of the Black Mechanicus and Chaos.
Therefore, although the new regulations have relevant restrictions, they are already very loose in the eyes of the technical priests.
It will hardly affect their exploration of knowledge.
Buna liked the new agreement so much that he chose to stay at the weapons foundry and give full play to his talents.
Build better machines for factories.
He was already eager to try.
Buna thought about the future, then stretched out his head and looked at the street in anticipation. He was waiting for something.
Time passes gradually.
The jubilant atmosphere became tense and depressing.
In the distance, there was an angry noise, and the crowd was yelling something.
Soon, a heavy-duty tractor pulled a dark, mechanical thing toward the street here.
That was Uldia, the rebellious leader of the Mechanicus.
The foundry director of Underworld No. 8, the genius Kaul and other oil guys disarmed him and gave him a hearty and inhumane beating.
After that, the oil guys put Udiya on trial in the name of Omnisiah.
Deprived of all his power and honor.
Now, Uldia has been stripped of his symbol as a Forged General, leaving only a collection of broken mechanical implants.
Once tall, he was dragged by a heavy crane and forced to parade through the streets of Mars as a heretic and rebel.
Meet the wrath of the Tech-Priests.
This was a public humiliation and a punishment for his perverse and heretical behavior.
more importantly.
The oil guys have come all the way from all over the galaxy, and they would not be able to go back without Udia who is kicking the dog*.
It will look very bad.
Therefore, the genius Kaur came up with the idea of marching through the streets to release the accumulated anger.
Friends in the forum can also make this trip worthwhile.
His suggestions were praised and recognized by engine oil experts.
Then, medical devices were installed on Udiya's body and he was tortured one after another.
This is also a warning.
Let those in power know what will happen if they act in a perverse way and provoke people's anger.
on the street.
The heavy-duty tractor pulled Udiya slowly, and Kaul's voice was playing on the vehicle:
"In the name of the God of Machinery, please proceed with the torture in an orderly manner. There are many people behind you. Do not use lethal weapons..."
Seeing Udiya, the crowd's anger was instantly ignited.
"asshole!"
"Udiya you **!"
"101111010101010!"
The oil guys either rushed forward and beat them wildly, or used flaming weapons to roast them, or some used powerful electromagnetic shocks.
All kinds of weapons gave that bastard unspeakable pain.
Buna also seized the opportunity, rushed forward with the angry crowd, and kicked him hard.
Venting out the anger that had been suppressed for a long time.
"Humble lower class people, you shouldn't treat a casting general like this!"
"Stop, do you know who you are facing?!"
"I am Udia, the great casting general, you humble guys, you are not qualified to treat me like this..."
Udia screamed incoherently.
The pain on the mechanical body was secondary, and what made him unbearable was the act of parading in the streets.
He, the great Udia, had admitted his mistakes and was willing to step down and hand over power.
Retire from now on.
Why didn't those damn rebels let him go?
Now, his image has been completely destroyed, turning into a huge joke, a clown in history.
Udia, the once powerful Martian casting general, has become dust on Mars.
Even the humblest people can kick him and spit on him.
This made him feel unprecedented humiliation and pain!
I don't know how long it took.
Udia was finally on the verge of collapse.
"Mechanical God, I was wrong, completely wrong, I beg for your forgiveness..."
"Kill me, Mechanical God, please end my life!"
Udiya's electronic voice trembled, tears oozed from his tear glands, this was the first time he showed his vulnerable side in public.
The former Mars Casting General was willing to bow his head, beg for people's forgiveness, and give himself a quick death.
He just hoped that this damn thing would end quickly.
Let those humble guys stop humiliating themselves.
"Fuck?"
On the heavy tractor, Kaul's excited voice came from the lift: "Which brother is so awesome that he made this damned Udiya cry?
Quick, brothers, increase the intensity, don't forget to take a photo!"
For a while, the oil guys cheered and increased the intensity of torturing Udiya.
Then they took pictures of themselves beating Udiya in the most handsome pose.
"Kaul, you devil, I curse you, I curse you!"
Udiya was angry and cursed Kaul, the devilish bastard.
"Alas...
Sir Udia, I still like your unruly look now."
Kaul didn't care at all and continued:
"By the way, I have recorded the historic moment when Udia cried like a clown just now.
I will upload the video and emoticons to the mechanical forum later, and brothers who want it can download it by themselves!"
"Long live the genius Kaul!"
The oil men cheered and worshipped this genius and flexible oil man.
In fact.
Many of Kaul's thoughts and actions were learned from the savior.
"No!!!"
Udia screamed miserably, and the double ravage of the body and mind made him completely collapse.
The casting general paid a painful price for his actions.
After rounds of torture, Udia was dying, and his spirit and body were completely damaged.
After the parade, he was hung high on the tower of atonement that he ordered to be built.
Enduring endless scorching sun exposure.
This punishment will accompany him for a long time, until he ends his sinful life...
...
The Temple of the God of All Machines.
The new members of the Mechanicus Elders Council are holding their first meeting.
The previous Mechanicus Elders Council was almost all controlled by Udia and the conservatives.
Therefore, after Udia stepped down, the Mechanicus Elders Council was basically cleared out.
The Mars Casting General and a large number of seats were vacant.
The Mechanicus United Army summoned high-ranking members and re-elected.
In the end, everyone nominated Mina, the leader of the neutral faction who had been severely persecuted, as the new Mars Casting General.
Everyone was tacitly aware of this appointment.
After all, this Lord Mina is the Mechanicus senior staff member who is closest to the Primarch.
Behind this "Mars Judgment War", there must be the strong support of the Primarch.
But everyone tacitly did not mention this matter.
What's more, Mina has enough qualifications and is indeed the most suitable candidate for the Mars Casting General at present.
Her philosophy is relatively moderate. She does not fight for power and profit. She focuses more on the development of the Mechanicus and the survival of the lower-level technical priests. Moreover, she also agrees with the Mechanical Forum. If Mina is not chosen. Should radical people be chosen as the Forge General, or those who study alien technology? This is more risky. In short, there is almost no controversy about Mina being the Forge General of Mars. After Mina took over the position of Forge General, she reorganized the Mechanical Elder Council. The leaders of the United Army, such as the Forge Director of Huangquan No. 8, all got a seat on the Mechanical Elder Council. What is even more surprising is that the mysterious genius Caul also entered the Mechanical Elder Council. As a non-resident member. This time, the Forge General Mina summoned a group of elders to discuss matters related to the Mechanical Forum. In any case, the Mechanicus must give that mysterious platform a clear attitude. It cannot continue to be ambiguous. Of course, the result of the meeting is beyond doubt. According to the decision of the Elders' Meeting, the Mechanical Forum is a sacred and loyal platform, and members of the Mechanicus can enter freely. Conduct academic exchanges.
In fact, Mina and others also thought about communicating with the people behind the Mechanical Forum to gain some authority.
But they were firmly rejected.
The relevant parties of the Mechanical Forum said that this would make the forum unable to remain neutral and easily become a tool for profit.
At the same time, the Mechanical Forum promised to remain neutral forever and would not do anything that violated the spirit of knowledge dissemination.
In this regard, Mina and others could only accept it.
Because the Mechanical Forum is no longer restricted by anyone, and the tragedy of Udia is right in front of us.
Even if the Mechanical Forum announces the establishment of a new Mechanicus tomorrow, I believe that most of the Mechanic priests will follow them.
Make the Mechanicus become an empty shell.
At that time, Mina and other senior officials will of course choose to join.
Otherwise, what else can they do? Can they still give up the Mechanical Forum?
The technical priests can no longer do without the Mechanical Forum.
It is the only platform in the galaxy that allows them to communicate and research safely.
For the technical priests, losing the Mechanical Forum is like a modern person being cut off from electricity and the Internet at the same time.
How can they live?
In this case, the Mechanicum Forum was willing to remain neutral forever, and they could only shout for the blessing of Omnissiah.
Therefore, the Mechanicum had no choice but to join.
After the meeting, the Mars Casting General officially issued an edict to establish the legal status of the Mechanicum Forum.
This made the Mechanicum fall into jubilation, and almost all technical priests moved into the Mechanicum Forum.
However, this phenomenon frightened the top leaders of the Empire.
Unknowingly, the Mechanicum Forum almost controlled the Mechanicum, which was a huge threat to the Empire.
Fortunately, the great Primarch and Regent Guilliman appeared in person and recognized the Mechanicum Forum.
He declared to the Empire that the Mechanicum Forum was a safe and controllable platform.
Under the protection of the Emperor.
There is no need to worry.
Such remarks completely calmed the Empire's panic about the Mechanicum Forum.
At the same time, the various forces in the Empire were shocked.
They had reason to suspect that the Primarch was one of the people behind the Mechanicum Forum.
The Regent took control of the Mechanicum in such a short time without bloodshed.
Gain half of the Empire.
For a time, the power of the Primarch increased greatly.
Especially those unruly Forge Worlds, they no longer took a perfunctory attitude towards the Empire's orders.
Instead, they took out the best production lines and completed the orders with the highest standards.
Fully provide productivity for the Indomitable Expedition.
Those Forge Worlds were afraid of being reprimanded for not completing the Primarch's orders.
Of course, what they feared most was that the Primarch would cut off their network, what was the difference between that and the end of the world?
…
Mars Dock.
The warship of the Urs Mechanicus slowly sailed out.
In the cabin.
Ron and Cawl were looking at the latest intelligence received.
Looking at each other.
Good guy, this news is that Regent Guilliman is the man behind the Mechanical Forum?
"Savior..."
Cawl frowned and slowly said, "Do you think we should refute the rumor?"
Savior and him are the real people behind the Mechanical Forum.
In order to keep it secret, he tried so hard on Mars that he almost got exposed.
However, now the limelight has been taken by the Lord Regent.
He felt so uncomfortable.
"Refuting rumors, why do we need to refute rumors?"
Ron shook his head:
"Isn't it good this way? Our Mechanical Forum has obtained the supreme legal status and can operate smoothly.
And the old... Lord Regent has gained power and can better unite the Empire and resist Chaos.
The Mechanicus itself has obtained a safe research platform, greatly increased its technical strength, and the oil guys can also surf happily.
This is a win-win situation, everyone wins.
Well, except Udia..."
"You do make sense."
Caul didn't even raise his head, and his attention returned to the data board.
Suddenly, he jumped up excitedly: "Yeah, I'm back on the top of the list, I have to go and mock that old man!"
Ron glanced at it, curled his lips, and didn't care too much.
According to his prediction and Xiao Ling's data analysis
The old man that Cawl wanted to mock was most likely the great sage, Belisarius Cawl.
Ron wondered whether he should remind Cawl.
After all, Cawl was good at scolding people on the Mechanical Forum, and his power was comparable to that of the foul-mouthed guy on the forum.
What if he angered the great sage.
When the two of them met in the future, the genius Cawl might be pressed to the ground by the great sage Cawl.
"Tsk, forget it..."
After taking a look at Cawl's weird look, Ron retracted the idea.
I really want to see him get beaten up.
Ron continued to think.
His half-brother Guilliman should have confirmed the ownership of the Mechanical Forum in some way.
The network line of Xiaoling was almost all the energy of Xiaosun, and Guilliman had close contact with Xiaosun.
Even if his psychic power was dull, he could still distinguish it.
This time, the Mechanicus incident was a collaboration between the two brothers.
Everyone benefited.
I hope that good brother will like it.
Nowadays, the Mechanical Forum is officially on the right track, which can bring great improvement to the territory's technology.
Almost all the research results of those oilers have a share in the territory.
Even if they don't upload it, they will use Xiaoling's computing power support, and the territory can still obtain relevant technical data.
Moreover, with the data blessing of the entire Mechanicum, Xiaoling's database and intelligence strength.
There will be unimaginable improvements.
In this way, Xiaoling's psychic network can cover more places, and he can start his next plan.
Anyway, go home first!
Whoosh——
The battleship jumped into the subspace channel and disappeared from the Martian airspace...
——
Karapus sector.
The Great Primarch led the Indomitus Crusade to retake this territory that originally belonged to humanity from Chaos.
On the surface of the planet Capras, the remnants of the battlefield were removed, and the corpses of the traitors were completely burned.
The expeditionary force is preparing for the upcoming expedition ceremony.
Buzz——
A landing ship slowly descended from the atmosphere.
Inside the ship's cabin.
Guilliman's huge body sat at his desk as always, dealing with work that would never be finished.
For the survival of mankind, he works day and night,
But the original body did not frown as usual, but smiled.
His good brother sent a big gift.
Uldia, the disgusting and treacherous Forge-General, was defeated.
The Adeptus Mechanicus became more actively involved in the Indomitus Crusade and contributed more production capacity.
causing the pressure everywhere to plummet.
Guilliman would have liked to see a Mechanicus like this, not a bunch of decaying moving humanoid machines.
Why are the more ancient weapons in the empire, the more powerful they are?
That's because the Mechanicus doesn't research new technologies at all, and the inherited technologies are being lost layer by layer.
The things created under such circumstances will certainly not be as good as those made before.
Many troops in the empire are still using equipment from the Great Crusade, and they euphemistically call it holy relics.
Guilliman was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Fortunately, with the help of good brothers, the Mechanicus has regained its vitality.
I believe that better equipment will be produced soon.
"Father, I seem to have found the feeling I had during the Great Expedition..."
Guilliman murmured.
Just like during the Great Crusade, brothers fought together for humanity.
Now, he is no longer alone...
The landing ship stopped.
Guilliman disembarked and set foot on the land of Karapus.
Bright sunlight casts down.
Groups of automatic chanters flew across the sky, and priests rode on floats to bless the exposed earth...
In the distance, the engineering team is working on a brand new building.
Everything is so vibrant.
Looking at all this, Guilliman felt relaxed.
I am confident that I can win this war that concerns the fate of mankind...
He and his brothers will fight side by side and let the war burn against the Dark Gods!
…
The Eye of Fear.
The territory of the Black Mechanicus.
Recently, black engine oil guys have been in a bad mood.
Because of jealousy.
The emergence of mechanical forums has made black engine oil guys feel a little envious of the engine oil guys on the imperial side.
At the same time, there is more unwillingness and jealousy.
Why?
Why do those damn guys get such a wonderful platform?
The black machine oil guys don't hesitate to betray humanity, moisten the eyes of fear, and turn themselves into this ghostly appearance.
It is for the so-called freedom of research.
For these, they did not hesitate to sacrifice their souls and work illegally in the soul factory of Chaos.
Create various weapons for the Chaos side as well as Chaos Engines.
It was exhausting.
However, now, the oil guys on the empire side are freer and have access to more knowledge than them!
In this way, their betrayal and sacrifice become a bit ridiculous.
The black engine oil guys will never accept this!
Zila~
In the void of the dark machinery factory, there is a huge chaotic ring machine full of mechanical tumors floating in the void.
These days, the black engine oil guys have been working overtime to catch up on the work, and even sacrificed many people.
Just created this chaos machine.
They made a contract with a demigod.
He will help the Black Mechanic Cult seize the Mechanical Forum, seize the huge database and unparalleled computing power!
Amidst the roar of machinery, evil power descended, and a huge figure intertwined with flesh and machinery appeared in mid-air.
Vashtor comes.
He looked at the chaos machine with a cruel smile.
Now, all the ingredients for success have been gathered to capture that ultimate delicious taste.
Vashtor was deeply aware.
Just swallow the data life form that has divinity and get that platform.
Then there will be no obstacles to His path to becoming a god.
Boom——
Accompanied by the screams of dozens of members of the Black Mechanicus, the Chaos Machine spun and more dark green light emerged.
Vashtor spread his arms and slowly floated over, showing indescribable fanaticism:
"I...will eventually ascend to the level of God!"
