Chapter 607 Shi Lan's Enlightenment on the Battlefield (3k+)

When the Well of Eternity exploded, all desires were shattered. The two groups of dogmen who were originally fighting to the death stopped what they were doing and pounced on the dilapidated bunker that could only provide psychological comfort.

At the moment of life and death, there is no more ideological struggle. The underlying logic deep in the genes begins to take effect. No matter whether it is a synthetic human or a natural human, now there is only a big dog who wants to survive desperately.

When the first round of impact came, the entire ground battlefield was directly washed into a white ground. The high-intensity energy impact directly evaporated all the surrounding matter. The warships engaged in a dogfight on the sky were able to escape with their lives because of the longer distance and the heavy armor.

However, their lives were saved, but the last rays of the Dog Empire were completely consumed. At least half of the Dogs in the empire's eight most elite legions died in the civil strife, and of the remaining half, one third died in the final explosion.

Hogg, the dog-man warlord, died. Under the repeated impact of his self-explosion and the energy of the Well of Eternity, his body was reduced to ashes, completely becoming a memory and worthless!
The death of the Primarch also brought the Black Watch, the First Legion, to the brink of collapse. They went directly into madness and launched indiscriminate attacks on any living creature around them, including the other three legions that were their allies.

When the explosion subsided, the subspace energy that erupted condensed and did not dissipate. Countless crystal forests shining with faint blue light grew on this final battlefield. The overlapping layers covered the entire sea of ​​souls.

Lifting off the rubble on his body, Magnus poked his head out from the soil at the edge of the battlefield, and then pulled out the three lucky people behind him who had also managed to escape with their lives.

Shaking off the dust on their bodies, Magnus and Goldar looked at each other, revealing the same miserable expressions, and laughed and scolded:

"Damn fate, we created all this, we created Tzeentch, the troublemaker. Damn it, we have become eternal sinners!

No, I am definitely not wrong, then it must be Hogg's fault. I finally understand that this bastard is the real troublemaker. But if he is the troublemaker, then what am I?"

"You are shit!" Seeing that Magnus began to show his amazing wisdom again, Gotha hurriedly defined him. In his two lifetimes, no one had ever said that he was shit. He was really blind at the beginning and actually believed that every word said by the dog prime minister was the truth.

Ka'gath and Slan, who were saved by Magnus at the last moment, also saw the endless crystal forest. Faced with this strange sight, Ka'gath, who had a cultural level of burning books and burying scholars, could not see anything, but Slan, who was disguised as a dog, could see it differently.

From Shilan's perspective, the entire subspace became extremely unstable because of the explosion, and the dimensional barrier that separated the Sea of ​​Souls from the physical world began to show imperceptible cracks.

The laws of the physical world are gradually eroding the Sea of ​​Souls that is their home, and the subspace energy is also flowing through these cracks into the real world on the opposite side.

As the youngest research team leader in the ancient saint clan, compared with the long lifespans of his peers who can be described as living fossils, Shi Lan is extremely young, only less than 20,000 years old.

Slan, who grew up in the warp as peaceful as a fairy tale world, had never seen such a brutal war. He didn't understand why these dog-men with the same fur would kill their compatriots at all costs. Shouldn't they be of the same race?
These technologies are equivalent even to the ancient saints. If they are used in the right way, Shi Lan believes that the dog people will definitely become true creators of the physical world like them, spreading life to the universe and creating order for the galaxy, instead of being like now!

The cruel reality taught Shi Lan a hard lesson, making the young research team leader realize the cruelty of war. A feeling of uneasiness arose in Shi Lan's mind.

If we also have internal strife like the dog people, where will the ancient saints go?

Once the seeds of anxiety are planted, a sense of crisis will arise that can never be made up for. No one knows what will happen in the future, but looking at the tragic battlefield in front of him, Shi Lan clenched his fists and murmured:

"Power. We must have the power to make the final decision. Only in this way can we calm everything down when faced with chaos."

Just as Shilan was gaining self-awareness, he saw the new recruit blocking the entrance to the cave. Kagath, who was behind him, slapped him on the head and pushed him out of the cave:
"Don't block the door, call for reinforcements immediately, and then come with me to search for the Primarch."

"Oh, okay, boss!" Shi Lan, who was awakened, reacted quickly. Thanks to the fact that he usually liked to travel around the galaxy, the power armor on his body was a real product of the Eighth Legion, and he was quite familiar with the culture of various races, so he did not reveal the truth.

But soon they found that there was no need to look for it. The area that was originally the core of the battlefield had completely disappeared and turned into a huge deep pit. Not to mention living people, even the two giant Titans that had fought each other there before, now had no larger wreckage left.

As for the Well of Eternity that was originally fought over, it has now turned into a small hole that sprays water out, and the amount of water discharged is probably not as good as peeing.

With the help of the connection between gene seed and the Primarch, Kargath knew that his Primarch was dead, but as a Space Marine, he had to gather the remnants according to the Codex and find all the surviving brothers.

In the silent crystal forest, four figures began to wander. With the help of psychic exploration, they soon found some lucky people buried deep underground. No matter which camp they belonged to, they would dig them out first.

The sudden destruction woke everything up. Regardless of whether they were hostile or not, the rescued dog-men joined the search and rescue work without saying a word. Only the dogs that originally belonged to the Black Watch fell into madness after waking up, but they were soon knocked unconscious by the other dog-men.

The space battlefield far above the orbit also came to an end. The frenzied Black Watch became the target of public criticism and was fired upon by all the dogmen. Those who should be killed were killed, and those who should be captured were captured.

After the situation stabilized, Lionrus, the Primarch of the Seventh Legion's Purifier Warhounds, was the first to request surrender. With a sentence of "Let's make peace", he made the other two friendly forces who had just finished dealing with Blackwatch incompetent. "Are you kidding me?"

"No, we are brothers from the same father and mother! How could I joke? If we continue to fight, the empire will be finished. Do you expect father not to settle accounts with us afterwards?"

In the joint communication of several Primarchs, Lionrus's huge dog head with golden hair bared his teeth and slapped the table:

"Our lives have been ruined by the old man. When we were in school, he beat us like dogs. When we were in the army, he pulled us into the Great Expedition. He created us, but he only had Hogg in his heart, and my eldest brother was just a substitute.

Don’t you understand why we are called this name?
Now that the eldest is dead and the eighth is gone, you can kill me or chop me up as you please, I won’t fight anymore.”

Now that things have come to this, it is meaningless to dwell on the rebellion. After suffering heavy casualties, the Legion has declared that the dream of the Dog People to establish an eternal empire and conquer the galaxy has been shattered. It is all over.

Soon, a military order was sent to every dog-man soldier, and the civil strife in the empire that had lasted for nearly 1000 years came to an end. What they had to do next was to conduct search and rescue, to rescue the surviving dog-men who had not yet died.

What trial awaited these rebels was now unimportant.

Magnus, who was searching on the ground, was lost in thought as he looked at the cans of braised pork elbow scattered all over the ground. His heart was particularly troubled when he saw the containers of Nuka-Cola scattered all over the ground.
"Hogg, where are you? The gold coins have all burst out. Are you really dead?"

No one responded to Magnus's roar, but it attracted the attention of Slann who had mixed in nearby. Since Magnus spoke High Gothic, he did not understand the meaning of the word and could only search through the database on the power armor.

From the database, Shi Lan learned that the creature that was shouting loudly was a strange race called Ogryn, and that the strange star god who had fought a life-and-death battle with the dog-men below was also an Ogryn in disguise.

"Arthas Menethil." This was the name of the star god of flesh and blood. Shilan suspected that the Ogrin in front of him, named One-Eyed Sunburned Rainbow Horse, was also a star god in disguise. As for why he could use psychic power and had this strange name that sounded stupid, Shilan had no idea.

The items scattered on the ground were obviously the things in Hogg's dimension pocket. Magnus and Goldar had never seen Hogg in such a miserable state. He couldn't even keep his favorite braised pork knuckle and Nuka-Cola.

Magnus opened a bottle of Coke with his fingernail, sat on the container, looked at the land covered by black smoke, took a sip, and then he immediately spit it out:

"Bah! This is fucking nuclear waste, damn Hogg, where the hell are you?"

Magnus dropped the Coke in his hand and was at a loss. Seeing a piece of red cloth that smelled good next to him, he picked it up and wiped his mouth. After wiping, he found that this thing seemed to be a women's clothing, and he spat twice in anger.

The search and rescue work continued. After more dog-men were dug out, the survivors began to clean up the battlefield and pick up weapons and equipment that could still be repaired.

From dust to dust, from ashes to ashes, the war is over, but life must go on. It is obvious that the dog-man empire established by Hogg, whether they are natural humans or synthetic humans, have inherited his good habit of picking up garbage.

Shi Lan, who was disguised as a dog-man, was also forced to pick up some small things to avoid being discovered by others. But while picking up, Shi Lan was suddenly tripped by something. Turning his head, he saw a big purple mushroom with staring eyes that looked stupid.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, Shi Lan secretly hid the strange mushroom. Then he found half of the power glove stuck under the mushroom, and the five gems that were flickering on it dimmed.

Perhaps because they are used to picking up trash, after seeing these special items with strange shapes, the dogs took away all the good things that Hogg dropped. In particular, after seeing a leather sofa that was not damaged at all even after the impact of the explosion, the dogs all surrounded it.

Pulling out the ferocious big sword that was stuck on the sofa, Ka'gath shook it and sat down directly on the sofa. This action directly caused strange phenomena in heaven and earth.

The sky that was originally covered by black smoke began to clear up. The smoke gradually sank and eventually formed a giant vortex. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, it gradually condensed and formed a piece of strange flesh that squirmed repeatedly.

After several twists and turns, this amorphous piece of flesh and blood tissue finally turned into a humanoid creature with white hair on his head, wearing a red cloak, and only 1.2 meters tall.

"Hogg! You're not dead?"

Magnus finally felt relieved and ran over, but just as he got close, he was tripped to the ground by a sweeping kick:
"Put it down for me, this is mine!"

　There is still a big one, I'll make some spicy crisps first
