Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

Chapter 164 Light!Gemini stars and supernova explosions
Light, as far as the eye can see, Calvin's eyes are full of light.

The ultimate energy was released in an instant, and in Calvin's remaining sanity, only the dazzling light filled his vision.

The energy of the center of the planet Tavala is collected from the remnants like plant roots, and finally gathered in this device located at the north pole of the planet.

The shackles of space are shattered by the energy accumulated to the peak and released instantly, and the light representing the flow of time is torn into pieces here.

Calvin, who was in it, was dizzy. He tried his best to use his spiritual energy to prop up a shield for himself, but he could only drift with the tide in such a surge of energy, powerless.

This is obviously not a device prepared for living creatures, and Calvin is of course not its teleportation target.

The original builder of the ruins is no longer known, and the original intention of the construction is naturally unknown.

But what can be known is that it must be able to transmit a certain object to a certain place through some means, and then spread in the entire star region.

Calvin is still drifting in the space tunnel opened by the energy tunnel, but the energy barrier around him to protect the "integrity of the cargo" has become thinner and thinner.

When the barrier is broken, he doesn't know how long his own spiritual energy can last.

One second, or a few seconds, or longer.

In short, in this timeless space, Calvin finally arrived at the destination of the transmission channel with difficulty, a building he had never seen before.

The house-like building is made up of dozens of unprocessed boulders, which looks primitive and simple.

Except for the subtle energy fluctuations that diffused from the stones from time to time, in Calvin's eyes, this building was the same as the product of primitive people's totem worship, without any technical content at all.

But the reality is like this, even if Calvin, who just arrived here from the space tunnel passage, is unwilling, he still has to believe that the building he is in has alien technology that he cannot understand.

This is especially true after his eyes pass through the gaps in the boulders and see the scene outside the building.

What a terrible scene it was!
Two dazzling light spheres of unknown size occupied Calvin's entire field of vision.

Endless light and heat gathered there, squeezing and colliding with each other every moment, and then more energy burst out, generating even more dazzling rays.

The temperature there is so hot, and the energy reaction is so violent, that the overflowing radiation is full of high-energy particles.

And this ancient building containing alien technology is suspended in the two seas of energy in a majestic manner, ignoring the surrounding environment as nothing.

Compared with the comfort of this building, Calvin, its first visitor in tens of thousands of years, was not so lucky.

Even under the protection and isolation of the giant stone building, Calvin almost paid the price of burning his eyes for his careless gaze.

The psychic shield had spontaneously protected his eyes the first time he felt the impact of the high-energy particles.

However, the intense spasm of the nerve cords brought about by the instantly burned-out visual cone cells still made him stretch out his hands to cover his eyes and howl in pain.

Clarke!

Calvin instantly knew his position. He was in the most famous and iconic sight of Krakel, which is located in the middle of the twin stars in the center of the entire galaxy!
Is there really a civilization that can achieve this level of spectacle?

This is inserting into the gravitational balance of two stars with terrifying technical ability!
Then, after rebuilding and establishing a new balance, is the existence of this building maintained by the gravitational tide of the two stars?
What kind of technical background is this!Unfortunately, the pain in his eyes left Calvin with no time to think about the meaning behind this technical appearance.

It wasn't until this time that he felt the strangeness of his body after a while—his entire body was exposed to this terrifying high-energy ray field, and it was decaying and collapsing at a speed that horrified him.

The skin is the first checkpoint of the body, but after just a few breaths under the saturated radiation, it begins to wrinkle and age.

The black carapace under the skin took a little longer, but finally announced that it disintegrated and failed after a few seconds.

A total breakdown of the body's circulatory system irreversibly occurred when the cells of Calvin's muscles and internal organs were thoroughly exposed to the impact of high-energy particles.

Calvin half-kneeled on the stone floor, the power armor parts that were burnt red by the rays and melted together were the last support to maintain his posture.

The skin of the whole body has long since festered and fallen off, and the muscles of the limbs have been decomposed, leaving only the bright yellow bones reflecting the luster of metal.

After the eyeballs on the face lost the support of the eyelids, they hung empty in the middle of the eye sockets.

The face covered with pale yellow tissue fluid had long lost its original appearance, only two shriveled spheres were hanging from the withered optic nerve cord and refused to let go.

Pain was no longer a feeling at this time, but a normal state after the peak, which instead made Calvin numb.

The exposed reddish muscles in the neck and the yellow trachea are still convulsing. The slower and slower heartbeat and the lung lobes that are gradually stopping to expand prove that while he is still alive, it also shows that his death is approaching.

Are you going to die?In this unknown corner?
Such thoughts flashed through Calvin's mind already filled with pain, and then disappeared in more desire to survive.

Do not!I still have to live!I must live!

He is not struggling for himself, or that his life has long been more than his own.

As long as he thinks that there are so many people pinning their hopes on him, Calvin is not willing to give up so easily!
How easy it is to die, but to live is the skill!

Calvin's heart was beating again, it seemed that his will had worked, or that some conditions had reached the limit, and a turning point had begun.

From a micro perspective, his heart began to change.

The place where the first batch of high-energy cells were simulated when accepting the "Holy Blood Trial", and after countless generations of evolution, was finally stuck at 39% of the simulation progress, and finally absorbed enough high-energy particles Subtle changes occurred after impact.

Parts of the RNA chain are broken, and the information hidden in it diffuses toward the entire cell under the impact of high-energy particles, and a chain reaction on the helix of DNA begins to appear, ultimately pointing to the state change of the entire cell!
His cells began to absorb these energetic particles!More advanced runes appeared on his cell wall!At this moment, his cells finally completed another evolution, and began to leap to a higher level of life energy!

With the support of energy, the cells began to divide and reproduce, and the speed of proliferation far exceeded any medical common sense.

In just a dozen or so breaths, Calvin's heart completed another round of complete replacement, and began to use his arterial system as the starting point to spread the hematopoietic function to the whole body!
First, the circulatory system begins to repair, and then the internal tissues other than the organs begin to recover;
When the black carapace was replaced by a new white chitin structure and psionic guide wires, Calvin's life signals finally began to stabilize.

The power armor servo that re-established the connection with the main body was beeping. After rediscovering Calvin's vital signs, he couldn't wait to mobilize the stored nutrients to inject from his waist.

After a dozen more breaths, Calvin, who received nutritional supplements, accelerated his recovery:

The muscles of the torso and limbs were rebuilt from scratch, like a web, and were rebuilt and fixed between his bones. The nerve cords and connective tissue began to regenerate, and then were hidden in the new muscles.

In the end, even new skin grows back with the support of these substances.

call!Calvin took a deep breath, experiencing the baptism of life from birth to death, and then to death in a few minutes, it really made him feel great pressure.

Calvin, who got up again from a half-kneeling posture, tore the armor on his body and threw it under his feet.

The Power Armor that has fulfilled its last mission has been completely declared useless, and has no value in continuing to wear it.

He stood naked in the middle of the building that he hadn't had time to observe carefully, while looking at the mysterious rune veins on the surrounding stone walls, while experiencing the baptism and replenishment of his new body by the particle storm like the solar wind.

"Fear... fear, death... prisoner?"

He instinctively deciphered the affixes at the end of some programs from these obscure runes.

But before he could do more interpretation, the surrounding environment changed again!
On the outside of this stone building, the originally stable, almost transparent and unobservable energy isolation position is beginning to disintegrate in an orderly manner!
At the same time that the whole building began to shake violently, Calvin could clearly see that irreversible cracks began to appear on those boulders!
In an instant, a huge flow of thoughts flashed through his mind. Among the countless possibilities, he finally locked on the figures of those Nurgle believers who came here before.

The original purpose of those death guards was not as simple as sending him here.Their original idea was to spread the disease to the entire star region by some means after it was delivered here.

Then there is a reasonable explanation for the situation at hand!
When the ruins sent him through the space channel to get here, he must also send the self-destruct command at the same time!

"Damn Mortarion! Your son wasn't so good at playing when he didn't rebel!"

The surrounding stone walls were cracking rapidly, and Calvin only had time to prop up his spiritual energy shield before he was once again drawn into this tide of energy.

But this time, he doesn't have the protection of the relic on his body...

"Have you not found it yet?"

Captain Tibbers' voice echoed from the bridge of the Supreme Decree, echoed by silent silence and the silent remorse of Custodian Captain Nicholas and many Gray Knights.

It has been No. 16 hours since Calvin lost contact with the Supreme Decree. After exhaustive searches by the intelligence forces of the entire galaxy, they still failed to find the unique beacon on Calvin's power armor.

"We might have to get out of here."

Unable to get a response, Tabers clenched his palm into a fist and slammed it hard on the corner of the podium.

"No! The Primarch has not been found yet! We can't just leave like this! How can a mere Orpheus compare with the safety of the Primarch!"

Nicholas raised his head first, and said to the highest person in charge of the Supreme Decree.

He must not accept that the person he was ordered to protect disappeared completely under his own negligence.

This is a total denial of his centuries of service seniority!It was a huge blow to his personal emotions!

The same is true for the gray knights behind them, they also cannot accept the future master of the legion disappearing in front of them like this.

As long as they think of the eyes of the newborn legionnaires looking at them in the future, they will never accept this kind of shame happening!

"Let's look for it again! This time I will lead the team, let's look for it again."

Gavins looked at Tabers expectantly. As the leader of the honor guard, he was undoubtedly the first person in charge of this incident.

In order not to let the rest of his life fall into regret, he still wanted to drive the Thunder Eagle to explore every inch of Tavala himself, even though he knew that the hope was slim.

"I'll go too! The imperial army can also contribute their strength to this operation."

Nicholas turned his head and looked at Jin and the others. Years of tacit understanding let him know that the compatriots in front of him, like him, carry unshirkable self-blame in their anxiety.

"You guys only have 6 hours. The battle ahead doesn't allow us to stay any longer. We have to go to the border of the Leyak sector."

The veteran captain looked deeply at Gavins and Nicholas, and then gave him the conditions that he could finally be allowed.

Not that he didn't care about his Primarch.

But speaking from the overall situation, whether it is the Astartes or the guards of the imperial army, they must obey the interests of the entire empire.

Even if Calvin himself was present, he would have made the same choice in front of hundreds of billions of people's lives in Orpheus.

This is their obligation, and of course, it is their awareness.

This kind of awareness is a tacit understanding between them that does not need to be stated.

So after Tabers gave the final time limit, everyone didn't make any more defenses to buy more time, but turned and left in silence, trying not to waste this last search opportunity as much as possible.

But this is destined to be a futile operation.

Six hours later, on the ships of the Gray Knights Fleet hovering in the orbit of Tavala, hundreds of search ships that originally scattered out finally returned from the surface with unwillingness.

The battle ahead is scorching, and tens of thousands of soldiers are killed by the aliens and chaos every moment.

Compared with these outsiders, the human empire, as the guardian of the house, is naturally passive.

Their fleets were already few in number after decades of fierce battles, and under the deployment of enough troops, every mobile force that can travel between the stars is very precious, not to mention the gray ships that belong to the battleship level. What about knight battleships and strike cruisers?
Calvin's identity is far from being revealed, and the appeal documents from the Star Tribunal have arrived several times.

From the perspective of them and the government authorities of the star area, allowing this precious combat formation to stay in Tavala for such a long time ineffectively is already their utmost restraint while maintaining respect for the Order of the Holy Hammer. up.

The fleet finally left unwillingly.

The responsibilities they bear are too heavy, and there are too many people waiting for their redemption.

When the fleet headed by Supreme Decree started to leave, and the light of the last engine also disappeared in the Manzeville point of the galaxy, from the macroscopic perspective of the entire galaxy, the Krakel twin stars in the center of the galaxy have just burst out The shining light that only belongs to the explosion of a supernova...

　Second watch, please vote.

　　Since noon, I have revised and modified it until now, but I still feel that there are too many places to be discussed.

　　But unfortunately, the eyes are really tired, and I can't change it anymore.If there is a wrong way, I hope Haihan.
