STC Completed

"According to intel, there might be unknown viruses down below. Turn on the enclosed life support system!"

Damon ordered the group of machine gunners.

Compared to the gear the Imperium provided to guardsmen, the CMC Combat Suit was also common gear in the Koprulu sector, but its built-in life support system allowed soldiers to keep fighting in harsh environments and even sustained them while building and surviving in a vacuum.

Damon glanced over at Veil. The humans of this world gave him a completely different feeling...

The dimensions of the ships here were shockingly large, radiating a thick religious atmosphere everywhere.

Despite having a similarly high technological level, their attitude toward ordinary people was absurdly harsh.

Even the tyrant Arcturus Mengsk of his own world would provide enough equipment for the soldiers under his command.

"Change ammunition. The enemy's protection level is very low, no need to consider armor-piercing. Switch to implosion rounds and maximize the killing range as much as possible!"

"Yes, sir!"

As the elevator reached the Lower Deck, Veil immediately led Damon and the others toward the ongoing engagement.

Traitors carrying the plague were assaulting the defensive line formed by the Enforcer Squad. Where traitors gathered in large numbers, a layer of pale green toxic fog also formed. Compared to the imprecise shooting and suicidal charges of those traitors, the poisons created by these Chaos Sorceries were the deadliest.

"Free fire! Free fire!!"

Damon decisively gave the order to attack! The dense formation of this group of enemies did not even require aiming.

The C-14s switched to implosion rounds, and an effect similar to a boltgun instantly inflicted massive casualties. Whenever an implosion round hit an enemy with pinpoint accuracy, the resulting fire and explosion cleared away both the enemy's flesh and the surrounding toxic fog at the same time.

Fire had a remarkable effect against Nurgle's Plague! Under the aggressive intervention of the eight machine gunners, the momentum this batch of traitors had just gathered was instantly shattered.

That deadly toxic fog also began to be purified under the burning flames. Let the blaze purify everything!

In a mere dozen seconds, Damon's group emptied the magazines in their hands, and a smell of roasted meat permeated this enclosed space.

"Sir! The ammo we're carrying won't last much longer!" a machine gunner said to Damon.

"I know, the commander will solve this problem soon."

Meanwhile, the holding enforcers cheered. They knew a new captain had come to this ship, and the disappearance of the previous Rogue Trader had cast a shadow over their hearts.

Yet, when they learned that these powerful warriors came from Gao Yi, the new captain, it rekindled hope in everyone's hearts.

The slain cultists were converted into psionic crystals that went straight into Gao Yi's pocket.

Seeing the sudden entry of five hundred psionic crystals into his pocket, Gao Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

If not for fear that the crew would all die... I'd really love to camp out at this mob-spawning spot...

At that moment, Pavian also arrived at the Bridge.

"My lord, the compartment has been cleared out for you, and the servitors have placed the metals you required inside. Why on earth do you need these things?"

"So fast? Let's go, come with me! Perhaps the Omnissiah is about to manifest!"

Guided by Pavian, Gao Yi arrived at the cleared compartment, where two SCVs were also present.

In that brief time, Pavian had studied the structures of these two machines thoroughly, yet still found no reason why an SCV could repair Warp engines so effortlessly.

To him, the construction of an SCV was not complicated, after all, this was merely the most ordinary engineering equipment in the star sector.

Yet these two creations, whose Machine Spirits couldn't even be sensed, were capable of performing miraculous feats.

Arriving before the SCV, Gao Yi opened the building menu.

Seeing that the required resources were met, Gao Yi directly initiated the construction of the Barracks.

The psionic crystals transformed into an invisible force that merged into the two SCVs, and the SCVs, receiving the command, drove toward the pile of prepared metals.

"SCV ready!"

Then, a scene akin to a divine miracle unfolded...

"Clang..."

Pavian's Axe of Omnissiah dropped to the floor. At that moment, he felt the heart that had already been replaced with a cybernetic limb begin to beat violently once more.

That huge pile of metal actually began to melt and deform in the hands of the SCVs, and a massive metal building began to take shape at an extremely fast speed.

"This... this is impossible... This is a miracle... This is definitely not something mortals can accomplish! Could it be that the avatar of the Omnissiah he spoke of is the captain himself?"

Everything before his eyes had completely escaped his understanding... Everything he had learned before was like a joke, but if Gao Yi was substituted as the Omnissiah, all of this suddenly seemed to make sense!

"Ten minutes? Much longer than in the game, but completely acceptable!"

Gao Yi quietly watched the Barracks gradually take shape in the hands of the SCVs.

Ten minutes passed quickly. Before long, the SCVs stopped, and a brand-new Terran Barracks appeared before Gao Yi.

As the barracks were completed, Gao Yi checked the items that could be manufactured inside.

Space Marines, full equipment including ammunition, 1 set / 10 minutes

Firebats, full equipment and ammunition, 1 set / 15 minutes

Marauders, full equipment and ammunition, 1 set / 15 minutes

Medic, full equipment, 1 set / 15 minutes

Ghost Operatives, full equipment and ammunition

(The armor strength of the equipment can be increased based on the strength of the input metal)

The first three only required consuming metal for mass production, while the final Ghost Operative required consuming a Psyker on top of consuming metal. Seeing the manufacturing conditions, Gao Yi temporarily abandoned the Ghost Operatives. Psykers were no common goods, and the Psykers on this ship currently had a much greater purpose—relying on them to maintain the Gellar Field and sail out of the Warp.

Gao Yi commanded the servitors to dump all the excess metal into the Barracks.

Soon, pieces of CMC Combat Suits and C-14 rifles were rapidly and regularly produced like an assembly line, alongside crates of ammunition.

"This... Is this a sacred STC?! Are you truly the avatar of the Omnissiah!!"

Being able to build finished products with simple resources—wasn't this precisely the effect that only STCs could achieve?!!!

One must know that any useful STC could influence the entire Imperium, and the Adeptus Mechanicus was willing to pay a terrifying price for every single STC piece.

Two Imperial Guard soldiers had once discovered an STC for a combat dagger, and the reward they received was an entire planet.

STCs also varied in tiers; some STCs could produce powerful vehicles or equipment, but the required costs and time dictated that mass production on a large scale was impossible.

Yet Gao Yi's Barracks could produce a set of CMC gear and weapons every 10 minutes, and that was with only a single barracks. If the number of barracks went up, the daily output could arm an entire military force with no upper limit!

Pavian dared not imagine what kind of reward he would get if he handed such an STC over to the Imperium. Perhaps if given the chance to hand it over, he could go straight to Mars to take office!

Yet the Gao Yi before him even possessed the ability to mass-produce this kind of STC. Unheard of, effortlessly manufacturing such a holy relic—what else could he be if not the avatar of the Omnissiah?

"Great Omnissiah, your loyal servant Pavian offers you binary hymns, hoping you may hear them. Flesh is weak, Machine Ascension, please give me a chance to follow by your side!"

Looking at Pavian kneeling before him, Gao Yi did not explain anything. Since he was being regarded as the Omnissiah, why bother refusing? Pavian's loyalty at this moment was probably on par with directly summoned units like Damon and Connie.

A world with gods had this one advantage: inexplicable things could be attributed to divine miracles, and displaying miracles could rapidly win the loyalty of others.
