Warhammer 40: Gods Of Mortals

Chapter 879 Blackstone Military Industry
Only the craziest and stupidest people would use black stones as consumable materials for fleets and armies, because such precious things are rare in the real universe.

There are many gadgets that can amplify psychic energy, but there are too few that can directly suppress psychic energy.
The Void Dragon thinks so.

But even the Void Dragon has to admit that when some decisive moments require the use of psychic special effects weapons, then there is nothing wrong with using black stones as weapons.

Blackstone warhead came into being.

When the order to use the black stone warhead was given to the fleet by Adam, the black stone ship, which was responsible for generating a realistic position to protect the fleet and weakening various supernatural phenomena, slowly moved forward, moving from the center of the fleet to the front of the fleet.

This pure black ship, a space vehicle similar to a small black stone fortress, immediately started operating.

The Soulless crew issued a series of orders, while the Engineer Iron Man carried out the orders from the crew.

The original warhead of a weapon called a breakthrough torpedo in the arsenal was disassembled and replaced with a pure black warhead that could not be processed by normal means at first glance.

Several breakthrough torpedoes were transmitted into the torpedo tubes at the same time. In the first wave of strikes, their targets were the ground-based anti-ship weapons that were pouring terrifying defensive artillery fire on the fleet.

A large number of breakthrough torpedoes penetrated from the hull, targeting the planet with the largest number of anti-ship weapons deployed.

Those psychic defense devices that can even drag a ship to the surface, or even wipe out a large area of ​​missiles or light spears out of thin air, are completely ineffective in the face of black stone warheads.

From the ground, it looks like more than 100,000 meteors sliding towards the surface.

However, the polarity characteristics of black stone are not only used by the Eldar or Necrons. The black stone weapons manufactured by the scientific research department of the star sector also have the characteristics of flexible use.

In the face of the overwhelming material barrage, the black stone warhead increases spiritual energy, turning the material weapon into a firecracker within a small range of influence, just like the human empire fleet bombing the world of Nurgle in the Abyss Expedition, and Nurgle on the ground The scene was exactly the same when Ling was enjoying the fireworks.

The overwhelming defensive artillery fire flew out from the surface of the planet, forming a dense defensive barrage. Most of the torpedoes were intercepted by this physical means.

The Iron Warriors apparently deployed a huge number of interception weapons of any type on the planet regardless of cost.

When facing an interception weapon with psychic properties, the black stone warhead will automatically adjust to a state of containing psychic energy.

A sub-group of Dark Angels Space Marines called the "Nameless Ones" launched an assault on a void shield. They believed that their ships or drop pods could pass through the barrier of satellite spheres and iron rings while slowing down.

In the end, only those Blackstone torpedoes that were launched passed through the fire net of interception weapons and gradually approached the special barrier formed by the concept in the emperor's mouth.

With the warhead as the center point, a radius of ten kilometers is a reality.

The conventional warhead torpedoes released by other warships were one step ahead of them, flying at the front.

It's really not a void shield in the strict sense.

But when they got closer, they disappeared together with the light spear hitting the shield at high speed.

Because the real function of the barrier that looks similar to a void shield is to use the hatred of suffering and the desire to avoid the soul in the torment circuit to directly tear apart everything that comes.

But whether it is a vicious creation directly given the concept of protection and avoidance, or a common void shield used by the Empire, creations based on psionic principles are not invulnerable. The torpedo equipped with a black stone warhead easily penetrated the barrier without any hindrance.

The Blackstone warhead is inserted straight into the range of the target on the ground, next to an anti-orbit missile launcher or an anti-orbit light spear, suppressing psychic energy within a ten-kilometer range.

The projectile structure unfolds, revealing the generator contained within.

The final explosion, which looked like a tiny point of light in orbit, carved out a perfectly circular crater where the anti-ship weapon was located.

Many weapons equipped with torpedo warheads worked in this way. The first wave of strikes destroyed 60% of the weapon erection points on the planet with the most anti-ship weapons.

The second round of strikes followed immediately, and the ships in the fleet could no longer see the beams or cannonballs flying from the planet.

The function of Blackstone torpedoes is not just to strike. Within the scope of their influence, the scanning array integrated in the missile detects everything that exists around the forced reality, trying to find the barrier generator on the planet and the evil one. Where the torment circuit is.

Maybe it was good luck, maybe someone else was helping me out of nowhere, or maybe the besieged one among the dark gods once again caused trouble for the brothers and sisters.

A Blackstone torpedo scanned the barrier.

The scanning results are directly presented on the bridge in the form of three-dimensional projection.

"Is this the torture circuit?" Ryan looked at the scan results and his breathing gradually became heavier. "This thing looks like an inefficient torture machine."

What Ryan said was exactly what Qin Mo wanted to say, but Qin Mo didn't have the last half of the emotion.

The torment circuit forged by Vashtor in the Emperor's mouth is structured like a facility like an open-air sports ground. The facility is surrounded by walls covered with Chaos Marks. People inside will see walls as huge as the sky.

Then in the center of the "sports field" was a demon that looked like a fusion of flesh and steel. The demon held a giant scythe in one hand and a weird-shaped container in the other. It screamed in agony and spun involuntarily while enduring the torment of eternal life. He used his scythe to kill the creatures that were constantly being stuffed into the "sports field".

Mutants, aliens, humans... all intelligent species that can be found will not be rejected. They scream and run wildly in the "sports field", but they still cannot escape being harvested by the screaming demon, and their souls are sent into the demon container. destiny.

The strange container in the hands of the devil is where the soul is, and it is also the core of the entire torment circuit. It is unpredictable what kind of torture it contains.

Even the demon responsible for the harvest feels pain in eternal torment, which is the most chilling thing for others.

"What's the point of such a design? If they want the soul to escape the body, why do they design such an inefficient slaughtering machine? What's the point of putting a demon spinning around in there? Does it increase the efficiency of this creation or something? " Ryan said angrily.

"No, maybe for them, this is the most efficient." Qin Mo said in a deep voice.

Ryan glanced at Qin Mo, then at the image, and finally nodded.

"Use the flagship to destroy it." Qin Mo said to Adam, "and free the soul inside."
