Chapter 52 The Devil Also Wants to Be a Paru
As a mirror of the real universe, the subspace can be said to be a very strange place, and it is not only home to demons.
To be precise, the Warp demons are divided into factions. For example, the demons of Khorne are the Factions of Terror, the demons of Slaanesh are the Factions of Slaanesh, the demons of Tzeentch are the Factions of Sorcerer, and the demons of Nurgle are the Factions of Stink.
These factional demons are essentially the fragments of the evil god, and their subordinates have the same characteristics as their master's power.
Let's take our old friend Khorne as an example. Khorne doesn't like sorcery and thinks that those who practice sorcery are rubbish, so the Khorne demons under his command don't like sorcery. So the Khorne army plays close combat, focusing on hacking and hacking.
As the Lord of Change, Tzeentch likes to use witchcraft to play with souls, but does not like mindless melee combat. Therefore, the demons under his command are particularly good at witchcraft, but their melee combat is much weaker than that of the Terror Army.
At this time, some people may find that this characteristic of the devil is very similar to a special kind of human being - the Space Marine.
In fact, the Primarch, who is essentially a fragment of the Warp, is equivalent to the young evil god. Compared with the evil god, the only difference is strength and style. The style of the Primarch will definitely affect the Space Marines under his command.
Perhaps the Emperor referred to this model when developing the gene-seed, so that the Space Marines could be influenced by the Primarch more quickly, and more easily controlled by the Primarch and gain power.
The most typical of these is the Raven Guard. The essence of the warp of "Duck King" Clarks is shadow, so the Space Marines under his command can use supernatural stealth abilities.
Hogg slumped in the sofa like a salted fish, pondering the century-old question of what to eat for dinner.
Suddenly a subtle fluctuation broke his thoughts, as if something was speaking. Curious Hogg carefully explored the source of the sound.
It disappeared again just when he was about to reach the target. Feeling cheated, Hogg didn't take it seriously, but after a while he felt the strange fluctuation again.
"Don't try to escape this time."
The accumulated psionic energy captured the target of the fluctuations and carried a trace of Hogg's consciousness along the subtle connection. Hogg, who changed his perspective, saw a strange picture.
With the help of the reflection of the metal wall opposite, Hogg found that his consciousness had entered a skull and was embedded in the wall. At the same time, two red dots lit up in the empty eye sockets of the skull.
This strange experience aroused Hogg's curiosity, but with only a skull left, he couldn't move and could only watch, and the angle was not good. The good news was that he could hear the sound.
"This seems like a strange factory. Why do these demons look so weird?"
The huge factory is filled with all kinds of weird devices making huge noises. The assembly line operation method ensures manufacturing efficiency, and parts are assembled one by one by strange demons.
However, it seemed like an accident like a big explosion. Most of the walls of the factory were damaged. The skull possessed by Hogg was embedded in the wall in the corner, and below it was a demon worker.
The reason why Hogg thought this group of demons were industrial demons was mainly because they were too honest, and their unique temperament was very conspicuous.
The numb movements and the look of sudden death were too familiar to Hogg. He had seen the same group of workers when Alicia was selling pizza.
While spying on the surrounding situation, he was also trying to figure out why he ended up inside a skull.
The good news is that since Hogg had eaten a lot of demons, he could roughly understand the demon language, and the conversation between the two demons below caught his attention. "Kafka, how long will it take us to finish this? I'm dying."
"Shut up Mengsk and hurry up. You are a demon. It's not easy to die of exhaustion. If you fail to meet the target, you will be thrown into the furnace and made into a demon engine."
Kafka's warning frightened Mengsk and made him dare not slack off. After all, being made into a demon engine is worse than death, and one will be tortured endlessly for a lifetime and become a consumable equipment.
Moreover, he had also signed a visitor contract, so by then, not only would he not have the Demon Engine, even his soul might not belong to him.
After assembling the parts skillfully and quickly, Kafka said to his co-workers:
"I heard from other demons that it was a warp storm caused by the wrath of Lord Khorne. We are unlucky here. The flying debris directly swept our factory.
A large amount of machinery was destroyed, otherwise we would have completed the target long ago. This damaged wall was destroyed by the tide caused by the storm. Look, there is a skull of the Demon Palace behind us."
The two demons looked up at the skull on the wall behind them. The skull looked unusual, with red light flashing in its eye sockets.
Watching the performance of the two lazy demons below, Hogg knew the situation he was in. This skull was the one he stepped on when he entered the Palace of Khorne. When he escaped, it was contaminated with psionic energy and later blew into this demon factory.
Hogg figured it out and decided to do something. He couldn't just be a camera all the time! But the remaining psionic energy in this skull was too little, and part of it had been consumed during the time when his consciousness descended.
In order to ensure that he could come here again next time, Hogg set his sights on the demon below. A stream of thoughts was transmitted into the mind of the demon Mengsk along with the flashing red light of the skull:
Mengsk, who was screwing in the screws quickly, felt nauseous, but he thought it was just a side effect of screwing in too many screws. After all, there was still so much work to be done. But when he assembled the parts again, he subconsciously glanced at the skull embedded in the wall. He always thought that the skull was great, and he wanted to take it down and make it into an ornament.
"Kafka, don't you find that skull beautiful? I want to take it down."
"Take it if you like it, no one wants it anyway. But don't leave your workstation for too long, or you'll be whipped if the patrolling demons find you."
Listening to his co-workers' words, Mengsk made up his mind. He watched the patrol demon in the distance walk towards the next assembly line. He grabbed the skull on the wall and pulled it up hard. However, the skull was too tight and he couldn't get it off for a while.
"Hurry up Mengsk, the patrol is coming." Kafka reminded.
"immediately!"
Hearing that the inspection was coming, the slightly panicked Mengsk used all his strength to finally pull out his beloved skull and hurried back to his workstation.
When the patrol left again, Mengsk quickly picked up the skull from under his feet and examined it carefully.
The white and hard skull is very round, and it came from the Palace of Khorne. It must be a warrior who died in battle. The red light flashing in the eye sockets is really perfect.
Using discarded parts from the factory, Mengsk made a chain and hung his beloved skull around his neck. However, he did not notice that his originally dark eyes were tinged with a hint of dark red.
Flu has been spreading frequently recently, please take care of your health.
