Warhammer: I live under the watchful eyes of the gods

Chapter 246 Skinners

=After reworking a set of jump packs and Loken's power armor=
"How about it, just say whether this thing is fierce or not."

Looking at Loken, who was in the armor test, Abbadan seemed to be trying to cover up the embarrassment of his mistake just now, and desperately wanted to drag the topic further.

After waving the modified genuine large power sword and a large spare bolt pistol in his hand, Loken gave his own evaluation.

"Well, far beyond expectations." After a pause and careful observation of the bright silver sword, he continued to add, "Except for some flaws on the standard blade that has been formed, it is almost perfect."

"To be able to get such a high evaluation, why don't you try to deflect your position again."

After finishing speaking, Karl directly picked up an old-fashioned kinetic energy rifle from the side, aiming at Loken beside him.

Fortunately, they are both people who have seen the world. Abadan and Loken are very calm in the face of this situation.

Even if there is a small problem with the deflection position, this kind of old-fashioned kinetic energy bullets alone cannot use the power armor they are wearing at the moment.

"boom"

Accompanied by the sound of gunfire, a pale yellow light curtain suddenly appeared in front of Loken out of thin air.

The bullet fired past was deflected directly to the ground by the position inside it, just like a shell hitting the slanted armor of the tank.

Seeing the two temporarily addicted to the new equipment, Karl also began to check his own equipment.

This is a scaled down power armor set.

Different from the set used by Loken and Abbadan, Karl's set omits some modules used to assist the heat dissipation of the deflection position generator.

No way, it’s a whole circle smaller in itself.

If some components that are completely unused are stuffed in, it is not a personal power armor but an external mecha.

That thing Carl actually has a plan to fix Drake (the leader of the crusader), but it may have to wait until this trip to take a look at what happened under the ass.

"Dididi-Self-test completed"

Along with the rotation of the motor, the power armor on Karl's body gradually woke up from its slumber.

He shook his hands and kicked his feet.

After simple activities, he has confirmed that everything is perfect.

After all, even the mechanical great sage, the equipment he uses for himself is more or less carefully polished.

"Let's go, it's time to go."

Greeting Abadan and Loken, who had basically adjusted their equipment, Karl walked towards a large launching facility not far from the track.

At the end of the facility, there is a huge hollow that resembles a "shaft".

It was a dark and deep pipe, and the water dripping down from time to time reminded everyone that the final drainage work had just been completed here.

Smelling the smell of rust floating in the air, Karl knew that this was the destination he was looking for.

"thorn"

He pulled off a red flare.

Throwing it away casually, he has already roughly judged the situation below by the little red light it emitted.

"724 meters, turn on the thrust reverser in about 12 seconds."

After finishing speaking, before Abbadan and Loken could react, he jumped directly as if he wanted to play a representative role.

This gave Abadan and Loken a little shock.

Although they are not afraid, but such decisiveness is something that Abadan has never seen before.

But Karl actually kept a hand here.

He was the first to jump down just to stack a buff in advance.

After these skills are upgraded to level 2, the most useful thing for Karl is not the powerful increase brought by the level 2 skills, but the ability to directly activate the skills of the previous level without side effects by spending 10 times the power of hope.

=========
Without it, there is nowhere to spend more money.

"For the pleasure of the princess!"

"Praise the Lord of Change!"

Perfect luck, the abyss of wisdom!
2000 points of power of hope were instantly returned to the emperor.

In an instant, a blueprint of fate unfolded in front of him.

With perfect luck, he is not afraid of anything wrong in the process of falling.

Feeling the gust of wind passing by his ears, he even felt a little refreshed.

So, what's the secret behind this?

"War, Blood, Death"

When the massive catacomb structure finally opened, Frank III ushered in his end.

The green decomposing particle beam swept around, decomposing all living things it touched into the most basic particles.

Necromancer, Tomb Technician, Mark of Death, Necromancer Destroyer.

These ultra-luxury package combinations covering low-end non-self-aware light armor units to high-end heavy combat units really made Karl wipe a cold sweat.

However, if this is the case, it seems to be a relatively good prediction result.

If you look carefully at the pictures in the threads of fate, it is not difficult to find the tricks in them.

The state of these undead seems to be abnormal.

Some grave beetles, grave ghosts, and grave spiders beside them are in a state of madness.

They did not maintain the tomb eternally as usual.

The originally green mechanical compound eyes were also stained with a faint blood red.

This is strange.

Because according to common sense, these undead would not have such weird mutations.

=Reverse push start=
The two engines behind him roared, sending a huge recoil force to Karl who was falling.

Carefully balancing the strength of the whole body, it landed on the corner of the passage where a lot of wet mud was still accumulated at this moment.

In the distance is a huge isolation door, and behind that door is the top ventilation system in a certain area of ​​the lower nest.

Feeling the texture of stepping on shit under his feet, Carl couldn't help complaining: "It's really lucky to step on shit."

It's a pity that this time it's not good luck.

Because when that slightly unfamiliar name was recalled in Carl's mind, he only felt a chill down his back.

"Flayer..."

A group of cursed Necrons;
A curse from the death of an ancient star god;
A group of Necrons suffering from a slow and winding mind erosion.

During that ancient war, a race known as the Necrontyrs became the Necrons after being devoured by the C'tan.

This did help them win the War of Heaven against the Old Ones, but the Necrons knew that the race once known as the Necrontyr was no more.

So they backstabbed those beings named Star Gods backhandedly.

In one of these battles, the only completely annihilated C'tan flayer, Rangle, left a curse on the Necrons.

No one knows the specific law of the spread of this curse.

Just like the erratic rule body of the Star God, this curse is unpredictable and unstoppable.

All Necrons infected with this curse gradually descend into madness.

The fingers grow piercing claws, decorated with the flesh and blood of devoured prey.

This is the revenge from Lan Geer the flayer.

Unfortunately, though, this curse is aimed at the Necrons.

But humans just happened to be the best outlet for these bloodthirsty monsters.

Breathing became heavy, and at this moment Carl seemed to have another heavy burden on his shoulders.

Compared with the rotten fish and shrimp nobles before, these skinners may be more like a main course.

Fortunately, there is still time.

Judging from the length of the thread of fate, that scene should last at least a few more months.

"touch, touch"

Two landing sounds came as expected, and they were Loken and Abbadan following up.

The turbofans are spinning, and the three overheated thrust reversers are now undergoing the necessary cooling procedures.

Seeing Karl, who seemed to be in a strange state, Loken hurried over to ask what happened.

"What's wrong, you seem to have something wrong?"

But just as Karl was about to share the bad news in the prophecy, a series of footsteps suddenly sounded behind him.

wrong.

Karl prefers to call it the dragging of meat in the muck rather than footsteps.

(how is this possible?)
You must know that this is a semi-closed space, except for the door on the side, there is only the silted pipe behind it that leads directly to the nest.

It is impossible for any creature to suddenly appear there quietly.

And the layer of silt that is not thick under the feet can't hide this kind of "monster" that has reached the size of a human?
So Karl took out the light bolt pistol inserted on the side of the armor without hesitation, and pointed at the figure that was gradually approaching everyone under the red light from the burning signal baton.

"Who are you, don't play dumb!"

With the red light from the signal stick, Karl finally saw a part of the monster this time.

However, the strange thing is that this turned out to be a mechanical creation.

Looking at this strange-looking machine creation, Karl issued a final warning.

And at the same time, Abadan and Loken also took out their heavy axes and power swords respectively.

As if he had heard Carl's warning, the machine finally stopped his slightly crappy pace.

Fortunately, when its green compound eyes lit up, it didn't start the thermal cutting beam gun held on the back of the preheater at the same time.

Finally, Karl probably recognized the model of this thing.

A specially modified underworld mechanical body --- Grave Spike Beetle

But that's even stranger.

Why does a Necron Grave Stinger appear in the sewer pipe at the junction of the upper and lower nests?
You must know that there is usually a huge current passing through this place.

Fortunately, Carl slapped his thigh and chose to go this way, otherwise the water flow here would never stop.

So here comes the question, why did this ghost thing suddenly appear here?
If you say that the tomb of the dead on Frank No. [-] has been opened, Karl will definitely not believe it.

That thing is very dynamic, and the huge black stone array that was born thereafter will definitely have a huge impact on the psionic energy on Frank No. [-].

You must know that these tombs are hidden in the gaps in dimensions. On the purely physical level, even if Frank III is hollowed out, you can't find these ghost things mixed with an unknown amount of black technology.

And once the Necrons are ready to go out, they must instantly sweep everything on the planet with an absolutely crushing attitude.

So if it exploded directly, everyone would have finished the calf long ago.

It wasn't the turn of the tomb thorn beetle in front of him who seemed to have something to say, and came to report the news.

In this way, the two sides confronted each other for a while.

Finally, after confirming that the tomb thorn beetle did not seem to have any attacking intentions, Karl waved his hand to signal Abbadan and Loken to go up and check it out.

Originally, Abbadan wanted to stop him a little bit, but considering that only Karl can handle such mechanical matters, he didn't say anything more.

There is specialization in the arts, if you say that you are fighting a baba, you will definitely be the first to rush up screaming.

But when you said you wanted to repair the machine, he could only touch the sky braid in a daze.

In this regard, even Loken, who was a little worried and kept vigilant and kept up, was a little more professional than Abbadan.

But only a little, not much.

"This thing seems to be broken?"

After some pondering, Karl finally understood the crux.

At first, it seemed that the Tomb Stinger was indeed planning to attack Karl and his party.

But by coincidence, he broke down just before he was about to start accumulating energy, so he was reimbursed directly.

"This... is really shit luck."

However, before Carl finished speaking, he was slapped in the face.

On the scrapped grave beetle, a floating green projection was suddenly projected.

That was a Necron, too.

But it seems that this Necron is different from the normal minions that Carl saw in the prophecy.

Not even the more advanced Necrons in those tombs.

It was a sense of nobility that revealed the aura of a king in his bones.

The scepter decorated with two sections of green light-emitting modules is being solemnly held in his hand at this moment.

His dark green eyes swept across Karl, Abbadan, and Loken.

"Oh? What an interesting collection."

Facing such a provocation, how could Abadan and Loken bear it? To be called a collection is really a step on Abadan's soaring braid.

"Pretending to be a ghost, who are you?"

At this moment, Karl even felt the killing intent emanating from Abadan.

But even so, he had to admit that this time he really seemed to be lucky.

Because, as stated above, the Flayers are the necrons' sworn enemies.

If you can easily exchange some things from those "collections" in Traasin, you will turn over in an instant.

Of course, Karl also knows that this kind of transaction is not easy.

The custodian of unowned things, the redefiner of "unowned things", the figure king, and the master of Akihabara.

It is impossible to judge Traasin's character simply by relying on these simple impression words.

Even if the handling is not good this time, it would be a waste of watermelon to directly fight for the two "collections" of Loken and Abbadan.

But that being said, Carl still has some chips in his hands.

In terms of figures, who can compare with Karl who has three legions in his bag?

In terms of technology, although the routes taken by the two sides are slightly different, they are at least half the same.

As long as you can accurately hit the user's pain points of the figure king, this gold coin will not explode casually.

After waving his hand to stop Abbadan's behavior, Karl walked towards the green projection alone.

"I have a deal, I wonder if you are interested in hearing about it?"
