Chapter 148 Warhammer Returns - Assembling Forces

"Your Majesty, could you tell us what kind of world we've arrived in?" asked Ike, the one with the super speed among the three siblings.

Dio glanced at Ike; Ike's abilities had undergone a long evolution and now reached a speed no less than the speed of light!

Dio felt that Ike's nerve reaction speed was faster than his own!

"Have you heard of any science fiction games from Planet Transylvania?" Dio asked.

The group exchanged glances, and apart from Thorton scratching his head in confusion, everyone else nodded.

"We're going to the Warhammer world, you all know where that is, right?"

The men's expressions froze, then turned ugly.

"The Warhammer world? The world that the studio turned into a cesspool just to make money?" The youngest of the three siblings, Olay, looked even more displeased.

Dio fell silent.

To be honest, every time he went to the Warhammer world, he tried his best to ignore the fact that it was a cesspool.

"Please stop, sister. I don't like this design at all. Your words make me feel even worse," said Cole, the eldest of the three siblings, looking troubled.

"Alright, alright, pass on the intelligence. It's time to go." Dio pushed the idea out of his mind and instructed them.

Then he left the room and went into space, looking for a place with a portal to teleport his army away.

After about fifteen minutes, Dio, having confirmed that everyone had received the basic information, opened the portal at the designated location.

Warhammer World.

"It's here!" The Emperor's eyes lit up when he saw the enormous spatial gate that suddenly appeared in the universe.

The mechanical sages around him were even happier.

The specific reason can be attributed to Transformers.

While the Astartes viewed this as abhorrent intelligence, the Mechanicus saw it as a new form of machine soul and machine.

They even wanted to transform the things around them into something like Transformers.

However, due to technical problems, several legions' aircraft and tanks were scrapped before the operation was ordered to stop.

The Emperor also wished he had such a Transformers army, but reality gave him a slap in the face.

Now, seeing Dio bring his army to support him, it would be a lie to say he wasn't happy. But the emperor still hoped that Dio would bring fewer people, because if there were too many, he might not even be able to prepare enough supplies.

I might really have to sell my hooks to pay off my debts!

It's important to understand that the Empire doesn't currently occupy many territories. After all, they haven't even finished searching all the Primarch planets and still need Ryan's assistance to complete them. The actual territory they control is not very large.

As he watched the constantly appearing spaceships and a massive dead star, the Emperor calmly wiped the sweat from his brow.

The countless spaceships filling the sky still made the Emperor very happy.

A few hours later.

"Dio, are these all your warriors?" The Emperor looked at the Astartes standing neatly below.

The military appearance is excellent, but an army's combat effectiveness has nothing to do with its military appearance.

The emperor thought to himself.

With a quick glance, the Emperor spotted a group of grotesque humanoid monsters and asked Dio, "What are those?"

Dio looked over and explained, "Those are Parademons, Darkseid's minions in the DC universe."

The emperor's eyes flickered, and he found out what a Parademon was from the depths of his memory.

"Holy crap, that's one of the most powerful biological weapons in the DC universe!" the Emperor cursed.

The emperor looked around and spotted the Spartan soldiers with halos.

Dio took the initiative to introduce himself.

Most of them possessed extremely high physical combat power, which made the Emperor straighten up and turn his head.

"It seems you don't have any psionicists under your command." The Emperor was somewhat pleased.

Psionicists are not unique to the Warhammer universe, but psionicists in other universes are not as powerful as those in the Warhammer universe.

After all, in the Warhammer world, a psyker is just an energy emitter; all you need to do is learn to control it to become a powerful psyker!

Wizards and sorcerers in other worlds need to constantly hone their skills to become powerful, and their strength may not even be as great as that of psionicists in the Warhammer world!

After gaining a new understanding of the magicians in the Marvel universe, the Emperor became happy, which in some ways was better than Dio's side.

As for those warriors, the Emperor was certain that none of the men Dio brought were mediocre; they were all top-notch warriors!

"Alright, it's time to go to the battlefield," Dio reminded the proud emperor.

The Emperor snapped out of his daze and quickly led Dio to the center of the bridge.

The Emperor turned on the 3D projection and began to explain the battlefield situation to Dio.

Robert Guilliman and Chancellor Macardo were among them; they too had just been momentarily intimidated by Dio's army.

"The current battlefield situation is very bad. Space undead are emerging from the graveyard in large numbers, as if they have been awakened in unison."

Robert Guilliman pointed to the screen on the projector and said, "Our warriors are fighting desperately, but the Necromancers' weapons are no match for them. We can only rely on our agility to fight in close combat. At the moment, only the Eldar reinforcements and the Space Wolves have a relative advantage."

Dio nodded. The Necromancers' weapons could even ignore defenses. The Eldar had almost abandoned heavy armor with high defense, and their pursuit of agility gave them an advantage over the Necromancers.

Even though the veterans of Space Wolves can dodge bullets with their agility while wearing the heavy armor of the Iron Cavalry Terminator, they can only rely on their light armor to fight against the Space Necromancers.

Or perhaps they are a space wolf force that has undergone a werewolf-like mutation.

Furthermore, the space necromancers also possess a rebirth protocol.

Once the body is destroyed, the rebirth protocol of the space necromancer will be activated, and the body will be teleported away.

The special characteristic of space necromancers is that they only have memories left, so it doesn't matter if their bodies are destroyed. They just need to transfer the memories into a new body.

It's just like another kind of fourth catastrophe.

Moreover, because the Necromancers' bodies consist only of regenerated metal with no biomass left, even the Tyranids would not choose them as enemies.

"Don't you have any countermeasures?" Dio asked.

Guilliman shook his head: "Even during the 40k era, we could only fill the gaps with human lives. Now, I don't have many better options."

Dio thought for a moment, and it seemed that he had a way to control this group of space undead.

The precursor to the Space Necromancer was the Fearful One.

They were a highly technologically advanced race before the Eldar, but due to their living environment, their genes made them inherently short-lived, a fact that even their advanced technology could not change.

Later, after being bewitched by the Star God and transferring their thoughts and memories to the memory metal, the soul of the Fearful One was completely absorbed by the Star God.

Thus, the space necromancer was born.

Later, realizing they had been tricked, they rallied their forces and allies to shatter the Void Dragon into pieces. They even seized a fragment to power the Necromancers' technological creations.

A powerful fragment of the Void Dragon arrived on Earth and encountered the Emperor, who then sealed it to Mars.

And so the legend of St. George slaying the dragon came into being on Earth.

The undead in space now desire a physical body, but because their souls have been drained, it is difficult for them to regain one.

But things are different now; Dio seems to have a way to help them have a physical body.

The possibility is slim, but it's not impossible.
