Biotechnology Path

Mission: Seize the Infinity Key from Azak Ahriman (Completed)

Rewards: Large amount of Faith Points (already issued), Infinity Key (Tier 1) (Please return the item to the Chapel of Prayers and place it in front of the Shrine)

"Don't be in such a rush, you're always so impulsive!!"

"You haven't listened to any of Ollanius Pius's advice. Be patient and don't rush."

Do you know the saying "haste makes waste"?

Perhaps it heard Qin Yun's inner complaints.

The mission screen flickered, and reluctantly, the upgrade screen was replaced.

They might feel lectured and lose face.

The light screen switched several times in succession.

Only then was the upgraded light screen finally displayed stably in front of Qin Yun.

Impatient, and a little petty!

Qin Yun silently labeled someone.

Then, turn your attention back to the upgrade screen to check out the new skills you've acquired.

"Divine Omen, this thing should be similar to the phenomenon mentioned in the End and the Death when the Black King ascended to godhood," Qin Yun pondered.

The end of the Siege of Terra,

The Emperor allowed Malcador to replace him on the Golden Throne.

He freed up his hands to deal with the traitor.

To defeat Horus, who was empowered by the four gods, the Emperor continuously absorbed energy from the Warp.

Soon, it transformed into a Black Sun radiating golden light.

At that time, the name 'Dark King' was whispered everywhere in Terra.

Even people's dreams, hallucinations, and even demons keep repeating this name.

"This skill would be perfect for a charlatan."

"Hehe, an angel has descended."

Qin Yun imagined himself using this skill.

He must be very handsome.

Men and women of all ages, from young girls to old men and women, were all captivated and bowed down in worship.

When I get to Baal, I'll put this skill to use.

I can't even imagine what those bloodthirsty brats must be like.

The bag made them cry their eyes out and scream!

Just thinking about that scene is exhilarating!

"The Machine God Avatar".

Qin Yun looked at the next skill, uttered it softly, and was quite surprised.

Isn't this the signature skill of some impatient, petty, and nerdy guy?!

The opponent initially relied on a single move. "Mechanical, Self-Healing Body".

They completely fooled those Mars Tech-Priests.

However, to be fair, Tech-Priests do seem to fall for this.

When the time comes, I'll definitely be able to use him when I go to Terra to take over Guilliman's job.

Once the Machine God Avatar appeared,

Those Tech-Priests just bowed their heads in worship, not to mention...

With just a flick of their little finger, they'd eagerly hand over their entire fortune.

Fortunately, Tech-Priests don't talk about love and resist desire.

Otherwise, Qin Yun feared that if he beckoned with his finger, several female Magos the size of small mountains would be waiting for him in the room.

She insisted on offering herself to him, allowing him to sexually harass her.

Qin Yun shuddered at the thought of the female Magos, covered in oil pipes and gears, who had lived for over a thousand years and whose remaining flesh had been preserved with chemical agents.

I can't enjoy this kind of good fortune, not even a little bit.

An Indian might be able to, but he really can't.

Just thinking about it makes me feel powerless.

"Owner."

"They are all waiting for your orders."

Xi Ling's call brought Qin Yun back to his senses.

He turned to look at those people and found that they were all looking at him.

"Sorry, I just saw some fragments of the future, and I was a little disoriented."

Qin Yun made up an excuse to cover up his distraction.

"Ahriman and that demon have escaped, and the Mirror Dimension has been destroyed. There's nothing left to do here."

"You should return to the fleet first. We will hold a meeting later to discuss the next steps in military operations."

As everyone left, Qin Yun called out to Caidin.

"Living Saint." Caidin bowed to Qin Yun.

"The mirror dimension world has shattered, and demons may be escaping into the real world. Keep a close eye on the Solomon Hive World to avoid leaving any traces behind."

Qin Yun gave a few instructions, Caidin nodded repeatedly.

"I understand, Your Living Saint. I will make the arrangements."

"Also," Qin Yun added, "Carefully investigate the Seven Great Daemons of the Calixis Sector and find out their locations."

"If necessary, we can seek the wisdom and knowledge of our allies. I don't want anything else to happen in the Calixis Sector."

"Living Saint." Caidin hesitated before speaking.

"Just say what's on your mind, don't beat around the bush." Qin Yun looked at Caidin, "After everything we've been through, don't we have enough trust between us?"

"My lord," Caidin mustered his courage, "I think you trust those Aeldari too much; they are ultimately Xenos."

"There's a famous saying from Ancient Terra that's still widely known today: 'Those who are not of our kind are sure to have different hearts.'"

"Do you trust your weapons? Do you maintain them regularly and perform Machine Spirit prayer rituals?" Qin Yun asked with a half-smile.

Caidin nodded. "I trust my weapon, I take good care of it, and I pray every day."

"If the weapon becomes contaminated, loses its value, and might even poison you, would you still keep it?" Qin Yun continued to ask.

Caidin shook his head. "Of course I won't leave it. I'll destroy it or break it into pieces and abandon it somewhere no one can find it."

Qin Yun smiled and said, "The Aeldari are that weapon; they can help us deal with the Warp."

"While this tool is still useful, we should take good care of it and cherish it as a partner."

"If one day this tool becomes useless or even harms us, we must discard and eliminate it without hesitation."

Qin Yun patted Caidin on the shoulder before continuing.

"These words may seem cold and heartless to you, or even make you feel that I am using you as a tool."

"I didn't," Caidin said hastily.

"It's alright, Caidin." Qin Yun's tone was gentle, but a hint of sadness lingered in his eyes.

"Because that is the right way to think: you, everyone, even myself, are just tools to save humanity."

"If one day I am forced to sacrifice you in order to achieve victory, then I can only say sorry to you."

"On the contrary, if one day you need to shoot me to save this civilization, I hope you will not hesitate."

"Thank you for your honesty." Caidin performed an Aquila Salute. "Living Saint."

"This is what you deserve. A person like you will not abandon your duty because of the harshness of reality."

Caidin could sense the sincerity in Qin Yun's words.

A strong sense of pride burned within him.

As the head of the Calixis Sector, Caidin could understand the feelings of Living Saint.

In the past, his hands were stained with the blood of his comrades in order to fight against demons and heretics.

If one person's sacrifice can save ten thousand people, then we must act without hesitation.

"If the day comes for my death, I will not hesitate."

Caidin spoke in a vow-like tone.

"I believe you," Qin Yun said.

After giving his instructions to Caidin, Qin Yun also set off back to the Imperial Glory.

He went straight to the Chapel of Prayers.

Place the Infinity Key before the Emperor's Shrine and pray.

A flash of light appeared, and the Infinity Key vanished.

A moment later, it reappeared.

When Qin Yun looked over,

Golden text appeared, detailing its information.

Name: Infinity Key (Tier 1)

This is a powerful artifact of time, but unfortunately it is still an unfinished product, yet it possesses immense power.

It can be used to reverse time within a small range.

By acquiring more laws of time or creations, one can gradually refine them into a finished product.

"You have become a traveler of time, why don't you hurry up and embark on your adventure?"

"Of all the myriad paths in the universe, time reigns supreme. Young man, this is your cheat code. Quick, grab it and go conquer the world!"

Qin Yun: "..."

Such cringeworthy lines could never have been generated by oneself.

It can only be the work of some otaku.

Goodness, after living for 40,000 years, you still haven't changed your original intentions, have you?

Just as I finished complaining, a new task screen appeared.

[Mission: Use the Infinity Key to maintain the operation of the Golden Throne]

After tens of thousands of years, the Golden Throne is on the verge of collapse, and many of its functional components are about to break down.

Please use the power of the Infinity Key to reverse the time of those components, allowing them to continue functioning and maintaining the operation of the Golden Throne.

Quest Rewards: A large amount of Faith Points, and a legendary piece of equipment.

Friendly reminder: Time reversal cannot be applied to the Golden Throne indefinitely; finding a way to repair it as soon as possible is the wise thing to do.

"Truly worthy of being Emperor, his mind is quick."

"They actually thought of using the Infinity Key as an emergency measure."

Qin Yun checked the mission details.

I'll complete this task while I'm preparing to take over the reins in Terra.

"Master, everyone is in the conference room, waiting for you."

Xi Ling appeared beside Qin Yun.

"Okay, I'm coming over now."

Qin Yun put away the Infinity Key and walked towards the conference room.

The vast and boundless Void,

The crescent-shaped Eternal Overlord floats above a planet in near-Earth orbit.

The Necron army remaining on the planet's surface is withdrawing back to its warships through Portal.

The surviving humans hid in the ruins, watching through the cracks as the metallic Xenos marched away through Portal emanating a green glow.

They were filled with confusion and bewilderment.

I don't understand why these abhorrent enemies would abandon the planets they already control.

Actually, it's not just them.

Even many Necron Warrior didn't understand such an order.

They've already crushed the armies of those inferior races and occupied the entire planet, so why are they withdrawing?

Unfortunately, they couldn't defy the management agreement.

They must obey the orders given by their commanders unconditionally.

At the bridge of the Eternal Overlord,

The supreme commander of this operation, Kobuessa, gazed at the distant Stellaris, a hint of sadness in his eerie green eyes.

After a long while, he finally spoke softly.

"I have failed, I have been defeated by a bunch of inferior beings, it is a disgrace."

"A temporary setback is nothing," Anrakyr, both his deputy and personal guard, comforted him.

Anrakyr did not participate in the Solomon Battle.

He was responsible for staying behind to hold the line and procure resources.

It was thought that, with its time-manipulation technology, the Sautekh Dynasty could easily take over this sector controlled by a lower race.

It went quite smoothly at first, utilizing time rewind.

They routed humanity, plunging them into despair.

Even so, those humans repeatedly mustered their courage and launched counterattacks.

The final result was that they were mercilessly crushed by the dynasty's fleet, reduced to the burning remains and corpses of the Void.

Just as the fleet was sweeping through the land and about to crush humanity, it suffered a crushing defeat at the Solomon Battle, its morale collapsing.

They even tremble with fear at the mere mention of human invasion.

Only after questioning did Anrakyr learn that during the Solomon Battle,

Kobuessa and other Necron commanders unexpectedly encountered a complete C'tan.

The other side has established friendly relations with humans and assisted them in defeating the Necron fleet led by Kobuessa.

The fleet was forced to withdraw all its forces and prepare to leave the Calixis Sector.

Let alone retrieving the artifact Infinity Key,

If they run slower, they risk being wiped out.

Many technologies of the Necron race are intricately linked to the C'tan.

With the help of the C'tan, humanity's technology and information are essentially transparent to the Necron.

Even the defense protocols of their computing cores and databases are practically useless to humans.

If they don't evacuate now, they will be completely wiped out if humans launch a counterattack.

Kobuessa didn't speak, but just looked outside, her green eyes revealing a human sadness.

Anrakyr sighed softly, steam leaking from the tightly closed metal spout.

He also turned to look at the observation window.

Besides the vast array of Stellaris, his current appearance can also be vaguely seen through the reflection in the glass.

Their eyes shone with a green light.

The skeleton that makes up the body is cast from Living Metal with exquisite craftsmanship, as smooth as ripples on water.

There is no trace left of what was once a living being of flesh and blood.

The C'tan deceived them, taking away their flesh and soul.

All that remained was a metallic body that still held memories of the past.

Anrakyr turned his head away and looked elsewhere.

The zigzagging lines and intersecting wires shimmered with a green light on the dim wall.

Those were once symbols of devotion shown to the C'tan.

The symbols representing the names of various C'tan quietly recount the prayers of the past.

And those titles and religious objects that were betrayed and shattered by the Necron.

Anrakyr's gaze was fixed on the symbol that identified the Void Dragon.

He once bowed and scraped before this deity, offering humbly sacrifices to him.

Since the day of his betrayal, he thought he would never have to live in the shadow of those terrifying things again.

Who could have imagined that one day that race would make a comeback?

Once that young C'tan grows up, the Necron race will suffer incredibly cruel retribution.

They must return to the Phaerakh's side.

Then set aside past grudges and go to warn other dynasties.

The undead must unite once again.

We must eliminate that C'tan at all costs, exterminate humanity, and prevent future troubles.

The Necron forces withdrew to the fleet above orbit.

Then he left without any hesitation.

They are so fast,

It took the surviving humans a very long time to believe that the Necron had truly left.

They ran out of their hiding place, shouting "Long live the God-Emperor!"

When the news reached the Imperial Fleet that was planning to pursue them, many high-ranking human officials were stunned.

I checked several times before I dared to be sure that the Necrons had all left.

"I thought there would be a few more fierce battles!"

Xia said with some regret, "If they had run a little slower, I could have accumulated even more merits."

"It seems the battle in the Solomon System has terrified them," Aing said.

"..."

As for the players, it goes without saying.

As soon as the news spread, the chat channel exploded.

"I haven't even stepped onto the field yet!! And they've already given up??"

"Necron Father, you can't leave! If you leave, where am I supposed to earn merit? What about my loan?"

"We are ready to fight to the death, why are you fleeing first?"

"Where is your pride as a superior race? Where is your dignity? You are even afraid of us humans, these ants, yet you dare to dream of becoming the overlords of the Milky Way?"

"..."

The lower-ranking soldiers also began to wail, each one overcome with grief.

As I mentioned before, the war against the Necron would be a brutal battlefield.

Soldiers died in droves.

The battlefield was littered with corpses.

Anyone who survives three hours is considered a veteran; surviving a day earns a promotion to platoon leader.

Play the entire match, and you're guaranteed at least a promotion to lieutenant colonel.

They were so frightened that they wrote their wills, broke up with their girlfriends, asked their wives to divorce them, and sent their sons to be raised by Old Wang next door.

So that they could follow the Living Saint without any worries.

Defeat the Necron race at all costs, and you'll get a promotion and a raise.

And that's it?

They won without even seeing a single Necron creature!

The ones who are most hurt now are their hearts!

"I thought I could at least be promoted to sergeant."

Harry, who had been promoted to corporal, was also somewhat unhappy.

He was eager to learn and diligently studied tactics and other knowledge.

They just want to perform well in this battle and strive to go one step further.

As a result, those Necrons were nothing, and they slunk away, not even daring to fight.

At this rate, when will he ever get a promotion?

Upon learning that the Necron had withdrawn from the Calixis Sector, Qin Yun did not order a pursuit.

Instead, they convened a meeting of high-ranking military officials to discuss who their next target would be.

After several hours of discussion and analysis,

The final decision was to make expelling the Swarm fleet from the Hazeroth Sub-sector the next strategic objective.

Van Wiegens, Inquisitor from the Ordo Xenos, brought intelligence about the Swarm.

Van Wiegens was a student of the legendary Inquisitor Kryptman.

Kryptman was the first Inquisitor to discover and name the Tyranids.

It was through his efforts that the Imperium realized the threat posed by Tyranid.

Kryptman participated in all the battles concerning Tyranid, achieving remarkable feats and issuing warnings to multiple worlds to minimize casualties.

After the outbreak of the Third Tyrannic War, the Leviathan Fleet headed straight for Terra.

In order to protect Terra and buy time for the Solar Fleet and the Tempestus Fleet.

He ordered the creation of a blockade, implementing scorched earth tactics on all planets within its range.

This made him the person who committed the most serious crime of genocide since the Horus Heresy.

Ultimately, he was stripped of all his positions and rights.

Even after losing his position Inquisitor, Kryptman did not abandon his duties.

He devised another plan to delay the Leviathan Fleet's advance.

That was the Ork Empire that led the Leviathan Fleet towards the Octarius System.

Of course, this approach is merely Slake.

The battle between the Ork and the Zerg caused both sides to evolve.

Regardless of who wins, the Imperium of Man will face an even more powerful enemy.

But this approach also bought the Imperium more time.

Inquisitor Van Wiegens shared his findings with the audience at the meeting.

Another Swarm fleet, even larger than the Behemoth, Kraken, and Leviathan Swarm, is approaching the Milky Way.

He named this brand-new Swarm fleet Cetus.

The Swarm fleet that invaded the Hazeroth Sub-sector was merely one of Cetus's tentacles, used to test the strength of local resistance.

"The entire Milky Way will be put to the test. If we fail, the Imperium will cease to exist, humanity will cease to exist, and even the Milky Way itself will cease to exist."

After introducing the Cetus Swarm fleet, Van Wiegens addressed everyone present at the meeting.

The solemn words completely extinguished the joy of Knockback the Necron.

Many Imperial Army wore solemn expressions.

They could all foresee the cruelty of the future: endless war.

After determining the action objectives and plans,

A massive Imperial Fleet set sail from the Solomon System.

They headed straight for the main force of the Tyranid Swarm that had invaded the Calixis Sector.

"The Zerg, this is a new opportunity."

Inside a workshop on the Imperial Glory

MC Mythology, who was on the expedition with the fleet, was researching Zerg data.

In the projection in front of him, the figure and data of Zerg unit with a large head floated.

This type of Zerg unit is called Brain Bug.

It has a highly developed brain, but its limbs are weak and it cannot walk.

Using psychic abilities to levitate and move.

On the battlefield, the Brain Bug are responsible for unleashing psionic attacks on the enemy or relaying orders from the Swarm's Hive Mind Brain.

"The Swarm's biotechnology is so advanced, it would be a real shame not to try and learn from them."

Looking at the projection of the Brain Bug, MC Mythology had a crazy idea.

At the recent auction,

The wreckage of the Necron warship was auctioned off at a high price by its former owner, Dora Workshop.

This means that the MC Dynasty will fall further behind its opponent in terms of technological research and development.

This forced MC Mythology to consider an important issue: the need to adjust its business strategy.

Dora Workshop has a first-mover advantage.

It has already established an advantage in fields such as mechs and warships.

After the MC Dynasty was established, it always chased after its opponent and found it difficult to surpass it.

Continuing like this is pointless.

The key is to open up a completely new blue ocean market.

Due to the crisis of omnic rebellion, the Imperium of Man is filled with distrust towards silicon-based omnics.

Therefore, most of the computers in the Imperium of Man used Wetware.

However, the human brain has a limited capacity.

This resulted in the Imperium having extremely limited computing power, making it completely unlike an interstellar civilization.

If the human brain were to evolve to a level comparable to that of a computer, and then be made into Wetware, it might solve the problem of insufficient computing power.

The more MC Mythology, the more feasible it seemed.

Since they can't compete with Dora Workshop in the field of physics and technology,

Then I'll take the biotechnology route and try to overtake them by taking a shortcut.

P. S.: Sorry for writing this so late, sorry.

Let's get an angel's knife, charge, brothers!
