Chapter 39 I think you are really hungry
On the return journey, Hogg and his team must first return to Macragge to drop off Guilliman, then replenish supplies and personnel on the spot, pass through Alicia, break into the Solar Sector, and finally enter the Solar System.
After being infused with Khorne, Hogg, who had eaten too much, was trying his best to digest the food, so his condition was a little unstable. The Emperor who was always monitoring him asked him to return to Terra for examination.
If we talk about who is Hogger's benefactor, besides the Emperor, it is Khorne. When he just returned, if it weren't for the rockets given by big brother Khorne, Hogger would not have been able to save up enough food for his childhood. This time he is even more happy.
But eating too much is never good. With Hogg's current strength, he can at most devour a weakened great demon that came to the real universe. So if Hogg hadn't found the right time to leave Khorne's territory, he might have exploded.
If it exploded, Hogg might not die, but his end would be ugly. At the least, he would lose the ability to move, and at the worst, he might become a dirty bomb, blowing a hole in the real universe, and completely turning into a monster without reason and destroying everything.
Don't think that Hogg killed the demon primarch like killing a chicken, mainly because as a big demon in the warp, it will be greatly weakened in the real universe. A demon that can be killed by mortals with hot melt in the real universe may be a ruthless character who can split the continental shelf with one knife in the warp.
This is still the future when Chaos is rampant in 40K and Veil is weakened. Now the weakening will only be greater, and most of the Chaos forces fighting away from home are still hiding.
After completing his daily routine inspections, Hogg returned to his laboratory and placed himself in the incubator, where numerous protective facilities ensured that he would not be spied on by anyone.
Hogg, who had taken off his disguise, began to roar. His twisted flesh and blood could no longer maintain his human form and turned into a pool of boiling flesh and blood, occasionally flashing with psionic lightning and blood-red flames.
Yes! Hogg had been in disguise since he left Khorne's domain. He had to ensure that his status was not discovered by others and to reassure his men, but the Emperor's recall made him sure that his status was known.
The high-power black stone device intercepted from the Necrons began to operate, and emerald green energy was infused into the incubator to stabilize Hogg's form and inert the activity of chaotic energy.
As time went by, the boiling tissue began to aggregate into the shape of Hogg. The initial hidden danger was resolved, and the culture chamber was opened, and Hogg walked out.
"It's over. I'm really unlucky this time. I have to think of a way. I can't hide in the laboratory every time."
Feeling his body about to explode, Hogg turned his eyes to his second-generation Raider armor. He thought of a solution. Since the Raider could be integrated into his flesh and blood, why couldn't the Blackstone device be integrated into his flesh and blood? The Blackstone device, which had not yet been installed, was transported from the warehouse to the laboratory.
Thanks to the existence of the pocket dimension, the Black Stone device that requires huge energy supply has been miniaturized. The huge energy reactor was placed into the pocket dimension, and the dismantled Black Stone device was implanted into Hogg's abdominal cavity. However, even with such a large size, in order to ensure that the power can stabilize itself, together with the connecting cables, Hogg became a lump of irregular dough.
Hogg, who was very dissatisfied with this appearance, had to continue to improve it. In order to ensure that his appearance was as human as possible, the outer shell that limited energy leakage was removed. Hogg's physical strength was enough to ensure that energy would not leak, so only the basic internal devices were retained.
Like a big boss in a picture bar, he stuffed the parts into his body bit by bit. In order to ensure the stable operation of the device and prevent it from being eroded by his own subconscious, he created a layer of membrane on the outside of the device for protection.
If there was too much water, he added noodles; if there was too much noodles, he added water. Finally, the transformation of Hogg was completed and he became a giant who was 8 meters tall.
There was no other way. After all, the original Black Stone device was almost as big as a six-story building. Being able to shrink it to such a size was the current limit of Hogg's technology. Without any worries, Hogg planned to walk out of the laboratory to see how Angron was doing. However, the embarrassing thing was that the passage for people to walk was too narrow for Hogg, who was 6 meters tall, so he could only curl up and crawl inside.
The patrolling Black Watch only saw a mass of flesh squeezing into the corridor and thought it was an alien invasion. Hogg, who was a loving father and a filial son, was almost shot by his descendants, although he could not die.
After informing the Black Watch that this was his new form, Hogg did not explain further and continued to crawl towards the room where Angron was, leaving behind a group of Black Watch with envious eyes.
"Captain, the Primarch has grown so big, almost catching up with the Knight Mech. I wish I could grow that big too. It's so awesome."
Although they always believe that the average height of the Black Watch is the perfect body shape, every Black Watch does not like being called dwarf. They also fantasize that one day they can become bigger and more Waaaagh, so that their cousins who laughed at them in the past would drop their jaws in surprise. Therefore, Hogg, who has become a true giant, has received envious looks from his descendants.
Angron was reading. Although electronic office work had become popular on the Blacklight, there were still a huge number of paper books. After years of searching by some book-loving Black Guards, many out-of-print and even antique books were placed on the Blacklight.
As a young man, Angron had never received a real education in Nuseria, and had never even touched a book. Simply put, he was now illiterate.
Although the database added by the Emperor when he was made did not make him a fool, Angron enjoyed the feeling of touching paper with his hands that only held weapons, which made him feel truly happy.
As Angron continued to take the books, a book on the bookshelf that was often flipped and had signs of wear and tear caught his attention. With curiosity in mind, he took the book down.
"The Marcus Identification Guide! Who is Marcus?"
Angron, who was even more curious, opened the book and saw various photos pasted on it, but without exception, they were all women wearing very little cloth, or should I say females, because there were also many sub-humans and even aliens in it.
Angron continued reading and learned that this was the travelogue of a wandering trader named Marcus. It mainly tells about the legendary merchant who met various confidantes on his journey, including humans, tiger men, elves, Ogryn, and various strange races that could not be named. In the end, this legendary warrior fell in love with a female Undead Overlord at first sight while digging a Undead tomb, and flew out of the galaxy with his confidantes to explore.
Seeing that there was no one around, Angron continued to read with peace of mind, which made him feel a little excited.
Just as Angron was flipping through the alien photos that Marcus had pasted on the books, a huge body squeezed into the library. It was Hogg himself who was looking for Angron.
Seeing the Necrons photo on that page and Angron trying to close the book, Hogg was shocked for the first time. After a long time of thinking, he could only say: "Angron! I see you are really hungry."
