Forty thousand years later, he became a god in the warp

Chapter 582 Mutual Assistance Accelerates Progress

The entire production line trembled because of Lin Heng's power; the sturdy mechanical arms creaked and groaned, as if they might break apart and fly away at any moment.

"Om Messiah has appeared! I never imagined you had grown to this level... You must have suffered a lot."

"Just a little bit of hardship."

"Well, in another 15 seconds the entire factory will collapse. So Hughes should hurry up and explain his turbulent journey."

Monsters roam freely, the dead lie everywhere, and wails echo across the land; the entire ritual is sinking into the abyss with an unstoppable momentum.

At that time, the index of disharmony energy had exceeded Shoggoth's own counter, and his mechanized body was constantly conveying clear messages to him.

Outdated... Updated... Damaged... Missing... Evolved...

Countless seductive sounds lured him to loosen the constraints on his soul, revealing to him the true mysteries of the universe.

Left with no other choice, he reduced the secretion of neurotoxins and turned off the sound receiver, relying on the low-power operation of the logic system to continue searching for Lin Heng's whereabouts.

Unfortunately, what arrived before Lin Heng was the extermination order hanging over his head.

Fortunately, it was an atmospheric incineration bomb in the Cyclone torpedo. He stabilized the collapsing system in 20 seconds and found a path to survival in 100 seconds.

Finally, before the flames burned the city above him to ashes, he jumped into the endless abyss, the very path Lin Heng had once traversed leading to the upper levels.

The rock face bombarded by the light spear was smooth and hard; fortunately, years of mining had damaged the stability of the base.

The large fractured layers gave Shoggoth a chance to slow his descent, but he fell into the junkyard at the cost of his shattered body, pursued by the flames.

Hundreds of years of corpses and garbage have created a sea of ​​humus in the deep pit, thus keeping the flames out.

In his deep sleep, death slowly slipped away from him.

It took Shoggoth a long time to wake up from his unconsciousness. When he dragged his rusty body out of the pit, he found that his former nest had been completely destroyed.

The arduous process of surviving needs no recounting, and the subsequent wanderings were nothing more than a struggle for survival.

Shoggoth, clinging to the idea that he could gradually move toward the embrace of the Martian god as long as he lived, focused single-mindedly on maintaining his life.

He used the trash in the garbage dump to repair his body and create a signal transmitter. He waited for an unknown amount of time until the arrival of the Chaos Rebels.

Because Shoggoth was a member of a religious order, he was valuable enough that, after many twists and turns and various hardships, he finally settled in this demon world.

"However, compared to you, Shoggoth feels that he is actually lucky now."

The speaker beeps, its simple words telling a complex story of the past, but... who can prove it?

"Then tell me again, if you're so lucky, have you fallen into an ocean of knowledge?"

It wasn't that Lin Heng didn't believe it, but he had been deceived so many times that it was hard for him to accept certain things. He remembered how badly that damned god of "knowledge and wisdom" had deceived him before.

The sound from the speakers was intermittent, but Shoggoth maintained a consistently calm electronic audio track.

"I do like a research environment with no restrictions, but Shoggoth himself prefers balance and stability."

The energy of the highest heaven must be mastered and used properly; acting recklessly will only harm oneself and others.

This is a safe approach.

"That's not a safe bet."

"Of course, all the Chaos Gods are bullshit; only the God of Mars is the perfect and orthodox one."

Furthermore, even the most idiotic mechanical sage wouldn't transform himself into a factory lathe that only does repairs, let alone the kind that's part of an entire assembly line.

This is even more disgusting to Shoggoth than insulting his biological mother as an open source. The reason it turned out this way is because Shoggoth offended the local mechanical sage!

!!!

Lin Heng didn't know what Hughes was saying, but judging from the speed at which the traffic lights were flashing, he guessed he was swearing quite rudely.

As his power gradually receded, Shoggoth seemed to have truly maintained his composure. On the other hand, he also didn't want other beings to become aware of his situation.

"Alas... Shoggoth's research has touched upon the teachings of the Great Sage Faraday, who wants to possess everything Shoggoth knows."

Shoggoth was inferior to his opponent in every aspect, so he had no choice but to block most of the data first.

The other side has no way to lift the blockade on Shoggoth; Shoggoth is not completely useless.

So he captured Shoggoth and transformed his body into an assembly line, hoping to break Shoggoth down and force him to hand over his research findings.

But Shoggoth endured it, and he waited until his friend arrived.

"Lin Heng, could you please help your old friend? Shoggoth will do everything in his power to serve you."

Lin Heng sat down on the weapon box and opened his 'All-Seeing Eye' on his forehead to search for Shoggoth's processing center.

"of course can."

Lin Heng raised his hand, ready to pull it out for Shoggoth, but the other shouted even faster, quickly stopping him:

"Absolutely not. The system is connected to the Great Sage's database. If Shoggoth loses contact with it, the other party will know immediately."

Shoggoth is unsure of Lin Heng's purpose in coming here, but based on your questions, there is a 77% probability that Lin Heng has not become a servant of Chaos.

Therefore, it was necessary for his old friend Hughes to remind Lin Heng that they needed a more precise plan.

Lin Heng sheathed his sword and summoned all the puppets, preparing to carry the chaos through to the end.

"By the way, how much do you know about the core inner workings of the Star-Breaking Mechanic Cult?"

"The purpose of building this demon world is to create a demon heart to protect the demon principal, Logar."

This would enable it to resist attacks from another Primarch, a Primarch who had fully awakened to the nature of the warp.

Lin Heng was indeed shocked, partly by the secret that Shoggoth knew, and partly by another living Primarch.

"Who?"

"Corax".

...

"What's this about the space station?" Cole Fallon asked, his brow furrowed.

"It has been confirmed that a psionic mutant went berserk and caused the explosion."

Unfortunately, the meteor shower happened to affect the Geller force field, and the subspace storm briefly increased his energy level, leading to the disaster. "The Great Sage Faraday said matter-of-factly.

"It's that simple?"

"Hehehe, of course not."

Wings unfurled in the hall, and the Demon Lord Duoling appeared, saying:

“I traced the remnants of psionic energy back from the meteorite fragments, and then went to the space station.”

Although I hated that mangy dog, I still let it smell the remnants of psionic energy.

Judging from its angry appearance, that guy must have broken free from the meteorite and caused the mutant's psionic rampage at the space station.

"What a funny little thing! It's causing trouble here. Should I skin it alive?"

The Demon Lord spoke lightly, but Fallon felt annoyed. A warp-space psionic being infiltrating a planet and wreaking havoc was something he couldn't be happy about.

"Now that we've confirmed that someone has infiltrated, send out all the hunter squads and issue bounties to get all the scattered canned goods moving."

Regardless of its identity, find it and kill it as soon as possible, and make sure the planetary ritual construction is completed as soon as possible.

Apart from the Word Bearers Company that is being prepared to be sent to Irebas, the rest will be deployed to protect the various starlight buildings.

"Sage, there's no room for discussion."

...

"Oh!"

With a loud bang, smoke began to rise from somewhere in the city, and scorching flames licked at the dark blue buildings.

The mutants cursed and swore at the mastermind behind the sudden explosion.

"Swish...swish...swish!"

Three well-armored Astartes arrived at the scene and, after questioning several witnesses in a friendly manner, confirmed the suspect's identity.

"Pah... another canned food culprit. What the hell is going on? Did some bastard from the Empire sneak in?"

"I don't know. Weren't they supposed to be capturing psionicists? Why is it all canned food causing trouble now?"

"Damn it, not a single day of information has been accurate."

The three canneries chatted loudly and without any attempt to conceal their conversation, unaware that in a dark corner, a dusty servant was quietly watching them leave.

"What's this move called?"

"Luring the tiger away from the mountain."

In the factory, a machine gunner pushed unclaimed weapons to the window.

"I only understand 60%."

"Relocate the priest away from the lab so he can go in and destroy the database."

The flesh and blood puppets simultaneously occupy advantageous positions.

"100%."

"Phew... my reaction speed has increased. Two puppets are dead. It seems a warlock or demon has made a move."

As Lin Heng muttered to himself, he placed the damaged elven armor on the assembly line.

During the scan, Hughes repeatedly expressed his admiration and high praise for this amazing work.

"It's a pity that Shoggoth doesn't have any spirit bones or refined gold, otherwise he could have largely repaired it. However, you, Lin Heng, still need to figure out the pathway structure of the spirit bone yourself."

"I understand. Does Faraday have either of these items in stock?"

"Yes, there are many."

"Okay, now there's another reason to greet Faraday."

...

"Not good at all, Your Excellency. The casting of the ceremonial buildings and core structure is at a critical stage, and I need to be involved in every step."

My free time has been reduced to one hour, 27 minutes, and 15 seconds, and my disconnection rate is over 77%... Please don't call me unnecessarily.

The projection was activated. Faraday was very unhappy with the efficiency of the Shadow Council. Despite being involved in Chaos for many years, the inherent flaws of the Faron Empire were still frequently seen.

“I understand, Great Sage. Your task is to ensure the perfect completion of the Demon Heart and the smooth execution of the Starlight Ritual.”

Fallon outwardly showed respect, but inwardly he harbored resentment towards Faraday, who looked down on everything just because he knew a little about Blackstone technology. He really wanted to personally shut Faraday up forever.

"However, one thing needs to be confirmed: based on information from many eyewitnesses, it has been determined that the intruder is a newly born demon."

The Demon Lord located the enemy by destroying their puppet Astartes; they were in a junk repair shop in a chaotic stronghold in the city.

So, I'd like to ask the Great Sage, that place was built by your people, is there anything inside that could attract a demon?

Faraday didn't speak, but silently pulled up the factory's internal data, only stating that it was a production line factory for repairing scrap.

"Alright, here's the information. You can make your own arrangements now. My free time is up, I need to go and test the machine."

Faraday didn't give Fallon a chance to interrupt, immediately turning off the projector and revoking his communication permissions.

He pondered silently for a while, then turned and walked towards a set of equipment. As the light from his electronic eyepiece dimmed, a sound came from behind the machine as if a door had opened.

...

"Reporting to superiors, the team has reached the designated location, the on-site photos have been uploaded, and it has been confirmed that it was the work of psionicists."

The squad leader crouched behind the low wall, awaiting news. Another soldier took his place, adjusted his goggles, and said sternly:

"The area is so big, damn it, this guy is not easy to deal with."

"Damn demons, there's one more thing I don't understand: why would a repair shop have so many platform weapons?"

"Not a single piece of intelligence, you damned Mechanicus!" the thorny canned food said, brandishing its double-edged axe.

The three hunters discussed in hushed tones, and once they saw the other hunter teams signaling their arrival, they began their infiltration plan under orders from their superiors.

A group of twelve people advanced in a fan shape from the east, using the wreckage of vehicles as cover as they quickly approached the factory gate.

The ghosts, drawn by the smell of blood, howled in the sky, disturbing the minds of the canned goods.

Just as a can of food was being moved, a deadly burst of flame erupted from a gap in the factory wall.

"There's an ambush!"

"Ah!"

Almost all the canned food soldiers rushed towards the cover at the same time, but some still had their shoulder armor blown off.

"The shoulder armor is destroyed; it's a large-caliber sniper rifle with explosive rounds."

During the communication, gunfire erupted one after another, and the squad instantly went from hunters to hunted.

Several smoke grenades were thrown from behind cover, one of which was even detonated in mid-air, causing a massive cloud of smoke to billow out, and both sides temporarily ceased fire.

"Weren't all those parasitized canned goods slaughtered? What's going on here?"

"Could it be a mech servant? Or an automated mech?"

"Maybe that's why it came to the repair factory? It might even be a mechanical demon!"

After a quick discussion, the group of canned goods changed their strategy and immediately mobilized the mutant forces from various factions.

As he watched the plumes of smoke rise into the air, Lin Heng immediately began to perform divination with his hands.

"Shoggoth has completed the calculations; they have a greater than 78% chance of mobilizing troops, but you don't need to worry about that."

Now that the thief Faraday knows that the unknown demon has invaded the factory, which is you.

Then he will 100% come to protect his assets, which is to say, himself.

Lin Heng completed the divination and obtained a very accurate answer, as if the guy had no defenses at all.

"What's the plan this time... By the way, Faraday is paying so much attention to you, what exactly have you invented?"

Hughes fell into a brief silence, and then Lin Heng detected a certain reverence in his voice for the first time.

"It wasn't an invention...it was a discovery..."
