Warhammer III

Chapter 8 Black Ship



The Black Ship Fleet, which belongs directly to the Astronomical Court, will repeatedly visit every imperial world almost every 100 years or so to collect "taxes" from psykers.

For more than 10,000 years, they have been like the Empire's Chaos Contamination Early Warning System, taking the psykers who have not yet lost control out of the world of their birth in a timely manner, and after filling them with psykers in different worlds, they transport them back to Holy Terra. Finally, it is classified and managed by the Psionics Academy under Xingyuting.

Most of these psykers will be drained of their psionic energy and used as fuel for the Star Torch Lighthouse to contribute to warp navigation. Some lucky psykers will be trained to become legal psykers to serve various powers in the Imperium.

The opening of the Great Rift, on the one hand, caused the number of psykers in the empire to increase exponentially. Each black ship passed through fewer worlds to be filled with psykers.

On the other hand, many planets have completely lost contact with the empire. The psykers on these planets have either been directly executed by the planetary governor, or have lost their restraints, threatening the security of the entire planet.

Inquisitor Nichols follows the black ship "Grey Brain" and visits one world after another. He wants to investigate the detailed data on the impact of the Great Rift on the psykers on each planet so that he can formulate a plan to give the psykers better benefits. Control and prevent the surge of psykers from becoming a means for daemons to invade the worlds of the Imperium.

If the anti-psychic field in the black ship made him feel a little uncomfortable, the mistress of the black ship, Sister Teresa, made him feel like he was falling into the dark abyss of the sea. But for the inquisitor with a will as strong as steel, Even when faced with the forbidden magic fields of untouchable people, he is able to think rationally and calmly deal with these silent people with weird personalities.

The Empire's use of the Untouchables can be traced back to the Great Crusade. The Sisters of Silence once participated in the Great Crusade as the "Emperor's Left Hand". They were all composed of Untouchables who were isolated from psychic powers, and the "Emperor's Right Hand" Custodes. Acting together, we can quickly overcome all psychic contamination.

After the Horus Heresy, the Emperor no longer walked the earth, and the Sisters of Silence gradually disbanded. They were scattered on the Black Ships and became a weapon to suppress psykers.

"The crowd in the square has gone out of control because of the psychics. Do you want to deal with it yourself, Ms. Teresa?"

Inquisitor Nichols asked tentatively.

What responded to him was not the words produced by the vibration of his vocal cords, but a series of complex gestures and a frosty expression that remained unchanged for thousands of years.

The Inquisitor immediately understood that Teresa would not leave the Black Ship, let alone directly kill the out-of-control psyker.

"I'll go meet this wizard!"

After saying that, he left the psyker prison on the ship. Looking at the prison filled with hunched and trembling psykers, he knew that the black ship was about to return to Terra.

A figure suddenly appeared outside the prison, and her invisibility armor appeared due to the will of the master.

"Lord Judge, can you kill the psykers outside?"

A mechanically synthesized voice came from the mask of the Inquisitor's Attendant.

"certainly!"

Nichols' concise answer seemed not to take the psyker and the more than 100,000 puppets he controlled seriously.

After the two left the black ship, they headed to the port square together.

At the same time, Tai Yue was surrounded by an increasingly dense crowd. Even if he had used the ability of psychic prediction, he could not break through these puppet walls to kill the psychic without killing them. By.

This is the first time that Tai Yue has fought a psyker, a prophetic psyker versus a psychic psyker.

"Stop being merciful to the puppets. The level of the psychic psyker should be a 12 (μmio) level psyker. If he uses all his strength, the entire hive world will be controlled!"

Phoenix reminded that Tai Yue was now like falling into a swamp. Even if the opponent couldn't hurt him, these more than 100,000 puppets would eventually consume all his energy.

Several puppets of the Ministry of Justice next to the psyker had already aimed their needle rifles at Taiyue, and lightly pulled the trigger. The dense black needles hit Taiyue like a torrential rain.

Facing the airtight attack, Tai Yue was unable to dodge and could only use his shoulder armor and power sword in front of him.

The anesthetic drugs on the acupuncture took effect quickly, and crowds of people, centered in Thailand and Vietnam, fell down and began to convulse.

Taiyue was also stabbed with needles on his hands and shoulders, and felt dizzy.

He gritted his teeth, and the delta switch and theta switch were instantly turned on. At first, the psychic energy directed at the pain stimulation of the gene stealer spread using himself as the medium.

The psychic attack that pierced the brain made him wake up instantly, and at the same time made all the puppet crowd in the square faint like dominoes.

Tai Yue sped up and arrived in front of the mutated psyker before the last puppet fell to the ground.

The blue force field of the power sword appeared again, and the mutant psyker was directly divided into two halves.

Not a drop of blood seeped out, and the flesh-mutated psyker had turned into two wriggling balls of flesh.

Tentacles stretched out from the meat ball and attacked Taiyue. The right meat ball was torn apart by the force field of the power sword again, but the left tentacle touched the back of his left hand, and a burning feeling arose.

Taiyue also smashed the meat ball on the left with his backhand, and then used death proliferation to purify the mutated cells on the back of his hand. The latter produced a cloud of steam during its expansion and proliferation.

As the steam dissipated, Taiyue discovered that the golden pupil symbol of the psyker appeared on the back of his left hand.

Before he had time to think about the meaning of the mark on the back of his hand, a grenade with a skull shell appeared in front of Taiyue spinning.

"boom!"

The grenade explosion formed a dust space with a radius of 10 meters. These dusts were tiny gray crystal particles, which were inconspicuous at first glance.

But under the impact of the explosion, Taiyue, who was half-kneeling on the ground, clearly felt that the subspace energy around him became chaotic. He immediately turned off the psychic switch and supported the defensive power sword on the ground, holding his breath to prevent inhalation of dust.

"This dust is the crystallization of subspace energy. Judging from your performance, it should be able to affect the psychic use of psychic power."

Phoenix couldn't see how this energy crystal was produced, and she was interrupted before she finished speaking.

A ghostly figure had come behind Taiyue, and the sharp blade in her hand was ready to take Taiyue's head.

"Zheng!"

After the sharp blade was blocked by Taiyue's shoulder armor, the figure disappeared again.

"Oh, the exorcism grenade has no effect, even the assassin's ultimate kill can be avoided!"

Since Taiyue killed the psychic, Inquisitor Nichols has been watching this suddenly appearing psychic. Such a powerful figure, he has only seen it on Space Marines.

"Stop!"

He gave the order to the attendant, who hesitated for a moment and quickly retreated behind the Inquisitor.
