The Webway Shielding Machine Emerges
The war in the Cortosa III has come to an end.
The demons were banished back to the Warp, while the traitors were all executed.
The entire process lasted a very short time, mainly thanks to the power of Dora Workshop.
Dora Workshop, as the most powerful industrial group formed by players,
Its own armed forces are also extremely impressive.
He not only enjoys the Friendship of multiple Chapter, Knight Houses, Adeptus Titanicus, and other forces, but also has the ability to have them assist him in battle.
It also recruited a large number of players, as well as a large-scale local army.
Most importantly, their weaponry can only be described as inhumanly extravagant.
Even the most ordinary logistics soldiers wear high-tech armor, with maximum protection and firepower.
The Chaos Warband, which was practically dirt poor, was easily wiped out by a mere handful of weapons.
After the battle, Dora Workshop also sent a professional construction team to rebuild the world.
This gesture brought tears to the eyes of the already grateful generals and rulers, who all expressed their sincere gratitude to Dora.
In gratitude for Dora Workshop's assistance, they also passed a resolution allowing Dora Workshop products to enjoy tariff reductions and various industrial support policies in Cortosa III World.
In the past, such a good thing would have been something to brag about.
But now, for Dora, it's just another market where he needs to distribute the profits of the industry.
Because of the requirements of the Imperial Economic Act, if a company or Forge World wants to sell goods to a certain world, it must help that market gain ecological status.
Simply put, you need to create opportunities to make money in the market before you can enter and sell there.
Otherwise, it would be considered economic plunder, and the Imperium Adeptus Arbites would summon them for questioning.
Therefore, Dora wasn't particularly concerned about the resolution passed by the rulers of the Cortosa III Worlds.
He was more interested in the hidden missions mentioned in the chat channel.
A player who doesn't actively seek out hidden quests is unqualified.
The demons and traitors were defeated too quickly; they were all killed before they could even gather any information.
This made Dora feel like the sky was falling.
I finally managed to get out of here, but I ended up losing the hidden quest.
With no other option, Dora had to seek the wisdom of Xi Ling, hoping that Hiling could point out where the key fragment that Abaddon wanted was.
Considering that this guy had created the [Castigator Titans], Qin Yun had Xi Ling respond to him.
This led the guy to an ancient object buried deep underground in the Hive City.
"Thank you, kind Xi Ling!" Dora exclaimed excitedly, "Thank you, great operations!"
Dora had someone retrieve the ancient object and take a picture of it, then posted it in the chat channel.
Warmaster: "It's a conspiracy, absolutely a conspiracy! Why would Xi Ling guide you?"
Brother Zhong: "Those with connections deserve to die!!"
Little Alpaca: "We resolutely resist favoritism."
Damo: "I despise you, I utterly despise you."
"..."
Dora: "..."
"Envy me, be jealous, I'm just a person with connections, what can you do about it?"
"Xi Ling also said that he would award me the Golden Aquila Medal, the highest level one, which would be awarded in front of the Emperor and announced to the entire Imperium."
"..."
Qin Yun also saw Dora's smugness, and secretly revealed the guy's location, even allowing players to teleport to his side.
I am absolutely not retaliating because the other party thanked the operations team but not the Guide.
It's simply to maintain harmony in the game.
Qin Yun said silently to himself.
"Beat him up."
"We can't let Dora get away."
Seeing an opportunity, the players quickly activated their teleportation abilities.
Upon meeting him, he immediately threw punches, aiming them all at Dora's face, determined to teach this pretentious brat a lesson.
"Official, I'm speechless,"
Dora covered his head and ran away, cursing the officials.
Aside from the official authorities, how did these guys know his coordinates and teleport over instantly?
Just as Dora finished cursing, a dazzling bolt of lightning appeared out of thin air with a loud boom.
They chopped him and everyone else into a crisp, charred mess.
Warmaster: "..."
Ten-Timer: "..."
Damo: "..."
"..."
The players who participated in the gang fight were speechless; this had also affected innocent bystanders.
It was Dora who criticized the official stance, not them!
Why are they all being chopped down together? Is there no reasoning involved?!
Qin Yun burst into laughter upon seeing this.
The authorities are the Emperor, while I am at most a tool.
As a result, he dug a pit, the Emperor got scolded, and these guys even got punished.
"Master, I feel like you're a bad guy." Xi Ling rolled her eyes at Qin Yun when she saw this.
"Haha, Master isn't a bad guy," Qin Yun said. "I'm just adding to the fun of the game."
"Excuses," Xi Ling said. "They're all excuses."
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore." Qin Yun waved his hand, changing the subject. "Have you prepared the slots for the fourteenth batch of players?"
"It's ready, Master." Xi Ling nodded. "Would you like to check?"
"No need this time, I trust you." After saying that, Qin Yun added a few more words, "Remember to screen them, don't let those who are not loyal to the Emperor in."
"Yes, Master." Xi Ling nodded.
"By the way, a few expansion packs have been released recently," Qin Yun asked about them.
He's been busy lately; Xi Ling has been handling all the expansion pack stuff.
"A total of 26 were released, 18 of which have ended, and all rewards have been distributed."
"Very good, release another one to stop Abaddon from collecting the debris of the Webway Shielding Machine."
Qin Yun knew why Abaddon collected those so-called key fragments.
It was all for Vashtorr's plan.
And that wicked Vashtorr is definitely trying to synthesize the Unholy Engine in order to find the treasure trove left behind by the Old Ones.
We must not let them succeed.
"Yes, Master, I'll take care of it right away." Xi Ling nodded.
She worked quickly and finished the new expansion pack, "Stop Abaddon," in no time.
After Qin Yun reviewed it and confirmed that there were no problems, he asked Xi Ling to upload it to the Warhammer Online official website and set it to be released promptly at 6 PM.
"Yes, Master." Xi Ling immediately did as he instructed.
The release of the new expansion pack sparked heated discussions, just like before.
Comments surged, quickly reaching 999+.
The comments from the young netizens were the same as before.
Half of them were happy about the release of the new information, while the other half were lamenting why they hadn't been able to get a spot yet.
The players also started discussing it actively.
They then organized themselves and launched continuous attacks on Abaddon's Pale Fleet to prevent them from continuing to collect the fragments.
The [Castigator Titans] created by Dora Workshop possesses immense power, surpassing the Ark of Omen in every aspect.
However, production is too low, and it takes a very long time to build one.
The Ark of Omen, on the other hand, can be built much faster.
The raw materials were all salvaged from the Warp, and with the addition of Chaos evil energy, a ship could be built in just a few days, making the production efficiency terrifying.
Despite the players' best efforts, they were unable to stop the forces of Chaos from collecting enough key fragments.
To this end, different player groups united and went to the ruins of Caliban to try to stop Abaddon's true Synthetic Unholy Engine.
While players were busy preparing for the upcoming battle,
On the bridge of the Vengeful Spirit, Abaddon stood before Phall Kiber, issuing a new round of combat missions.
Phall Kiber, a Chaos Warrior, was a former officer of the First Company of the Sons of Horus and still serves under Abaddon.
His shrewdness and competence convinced Abaddon to entrust him with many important tasks.
He was in charge of most of the tasks involving collecting key fragments.
Vashtorr, made of steel and molten iron, stood beside Abaddon.
He only spoke after Abaddon finished issuing the mission.
"We have now collected two-thirds of the fragments, but the most crucial Tuchulcha Engine is still missing."
"It was supposed to be placed in the Rock, but now there's nothing there."
"We will find it," Abaddon said calmly. "As long as it exists in this universe, it's impossible not to find it."
Vashtorr and Abaddon had just started discussing the Tuchulcha Engine when a subordinate came to report...
A member of the Alpha Legion Group requested an audience, claiming they had unexpectedly seized Tuchulcha Engine.
"This war gang deserves a reward. What are their names?" This delighted Abaddon. He had thought it would take a lot of effort, but who would have thought it would come to him so easily?
"They say they practice the Zuowangdao," the soldier who reported said.
Abaddon frowned.
He felt there was something wrong with the name of this "war gang".
So he sent someone to inquire of the Prescience wizard standing nearby.
However, after the Prescience, the other party said that this battle group was normal and there was no problem at all.
Abaddon still had doubts, so he ordered the wizards to perform divination several more times.
Only when the results were the same did he finally give up his doubts.
"It's a strange name, but it doesn't matter. They must be richly rewarded, whether it's Gene-Seed, slaves, or weapons and equipment."
The soldier in charge of relaying the message passed it on to the Zuowangdao Abaddon gang.
The other party replied quickly.
"No, we don't need these. We want to see what kind of creation these key fragments will become when they are combined. Please allow us to witness this grand event up close."
"Alpha Legion is always so cunning and unpredictable." Abaddon paced back and forth after hearing the reply from the Zuowangdao War Gang.
Based on his experience dealing with the Alpha Legion,
These guys are probably up to no good.
But then I thought about my own abilities and the great undertaking I was about to complete.
Abaddon believed that whatever schemes the Alpha Legion might have, they couldn't cause any trouble.
I can wipe them all out with just a little effort.
"Promise them that when the keys are combined, they will be entitled to a close look."
Abaddon agreed to the request.
"We agree," the representative of the Zuowangdao War Gang said. "Thank you for the Despoiler's kindness and generosity."
Soon, the Tuchulcha Engine was delivered to the Vengeful Spirit.
After multiple rounds of checks and confirmation that there were no problems,
Abaddon and Vashtorr looked satisfied.
In this way, their plan came to an end.
Only one step remains: to combine the key fragments.
"What exactly is this thing?"
Before carrying out the final plan, Abaddon decided to find out the background of the plan.
He didn't want to be fooled by Vashtorr as a fool.
He must firmly grasp the initiative.
We must never be led astray by these Warp creatures as Horus did.
"If you don't tell the whole truth, I won't carry out the final step of the plan for you."
Upon hearing Abaddon's question, Vashtorr let out an unpleasant laugh.
He stared at the Despoiler, remained silent for a moment, and organized his thoughts, wondering where he should begin.
"I know what you want, Abaddon. You crave to set the Milky Way ablaze and to bring down the Corpse Emperor from his shattered throne."
"And the plan we execute will grant you an ancient artifact that guarantees victory."
"Once you possess it, you can easily win and fulfill your millennia-old wish."
"So what is it?" Abaddon asked. "I don't want a broken Milky Way. I want to end the reign of the Corpse Emperor and usher in my own era."
"Unholy Engine," Vashtorr replied.
Abaddon frowned; he had never heard of such a thing.
Perhaps seeing that the plan was about to succeed, Vashtorr patiently recounted the history of the Unholy Engine.
"Before your race had civilization, many ancient races had already emerged, and some of them were powerful enough to rival the gods."
"One side is called the Old Ones, and the other side is called the C'tan. The two sides broke out into war for some reason, unleashing terrifying power."
"Stars fell, all things were destroyed. That great war was terrifying and the price was extremely high. One after another, these gods fell. Their kin, fearing the creations left behind by these gods, sealed them in a realm that was neither the Immaterium nor a material one."
"After sealing these creations, they disassembled the keys and placed them in different places in the Milky Way to prevent anyone from opening the seal."
"Do you know where this treasure vault is? Do you know how to open it?" Abaddon was intrigued.
If we could obtain those powerful creations, we could not only deal with the Emperor, but also with the gods.
Both the Warp and the Realspace should be ruled by Abaddon.
Those so-called gods should either become his servants or be destroyed by him.
"We've collected these fragments to find the sealed place and break the seal," Vashtorr said. "Now that we've gathered all the fragments, it's time to fuse them together and create the Unholy Engine."
"The Unholy Engine possesses unimaginable power, capable of easily penetrating the Warp and the mortal realm."
"Webway!!" Abaddon looked surprised.
Vashtorr nodded. "The Old Ones' Webway was built upon it."
Abaddon's face lit up with ecstasy.
The Imperium has already lost the Nachmund Gauntlet. If they destroy the Webway as well, won't they be completely finished?
Without the Webway, the Imperium will be completely divided in two, forever losing half of its territory.
"Let's get started as soon as possible. I can't wait to see the despair on the faces of those Primarch and the Corpse Emperor Living Saint."
