The T'au Are Losing Their Minds

We naively believed that with the guidance of technology and the Greater Good, we could change this Milky Way.

Until recently, a group of people who called themselves the God Chosen severely damaged our Sky Expansion Fleet, forcing us to abandon all the territories we had occupied and retreat back to our home world.

The entire T'au Empire suffered a tremendous blow as a result, and even with Aether 'Ethereal constant reassurance and encouragement, many clans were unable to emerge from the shadow of defeat.

The belief in the Greater Good has been severely damaged.

That seemingly outdated and backward Imperium of Man showed us its true power for the first time.

In the past, we always thought that those noisy, outdated machines and rigid, tall buildings were the entirety of Imperium of Man.

They are synonymous with being pedantic, backward, and old-fashioned.

But when the truth about the Milky Way is revealed, we realize that their foolish beliefs and seemingly backward technology are precisely their efforts to protect the purity of their souls.

When a strange rift appeared near our home world, the T'au Empire did not hesitate to launch a war mobilization.

We desperately need a victory to prove that the Greater Good is right.

Once we entered the battlefield, we realized it was a very foolish decision.

Because on the other side of the passage, there was a chaotic war without reason.

The various factions we have encountered have erupted into a chaotic war, with warships exploding like twinkling Stellaris.

Some things that trample on science and reason cause us great pain.

For the first time, the Milky Way seemed so unfamiliar to us.

It's not the name we originally envisioned at all.

The underlying logic that constitutes the universe is chaotic and disordered.

Inside a Tau warship.

"These things do not conform to the physical laws of the Realspace."

La Coe, an Earth Caste strategic analyst, uttered a painful cry.

He sat at his engineering console, which displayed various images and data of the Void battlefield.

Monsters with hooves and wings flew through the Void.

Some even rode chariots and warhorses, wielding rudimentary swords and knives.

This phenomenon completely shattered his previous approval.

Science and reason became a joke at this moment.

His worldview completely collapsed.

"Don't look," the commander stopped La Coe. "Those things will hurt us."

However, the demons don't care whether the T'au are watching or not; they only crave flesh and souls.

The souls of the Tau are faint, but still a delicious appetizer.

The minions of the Lord of Soul Forges, operating their dark machines, stormed into the T'au Empire's warships, reaping the lives of this race, who knew nothing of the dangers of the Milky Way.

Urgent alarms sounded throughout the warship.

The rotating crimson lights made the warship look as if it had been stained with blood.

"Fight the enemy."

Fire Caste warriors in combat suits confront the demons who board the ship.

Ka Vah was one of them; he was sent to the War Academy for training from a young age.

He excelled academically and, after graduation, became an outstanding Fire Caste warrior.

Having experienced many wars, he can be considered a veteran.

However, he had never experienced such a bizarre battle.

The accompanying Observation Drone detected no signal, and the enemy suddenly appeared in front of them.

They look bizarre, made of metal, and appear outdated, yet they can easily cut through their advanced armor.

Ka Vah kept pulling the trigger of his Pulse Rifle.

This weapon can fire powerful plasma projectiles that can easily penetrate Plasteel armor.

With this weapon, they once routed the Imperium of Man's forces, leaving them crying for their mothers.

However, today, these enemies are ignoring their attacks.

Roar!!

A hairless metal hound leaped out of the Void and tore a Fire Caste warrior in combat gear to pieces.

Kava kept pulling the trigger, bullets clanging as they struck his opponent.

The opponent was very fast, leaping continuously in the confined space to attack the Fire Caste warriors.

In no time, they killed three of Kava's companions.

In the end, it was only through the self-destruction of a Fire Caste warrior that the opponent was killed.

"These monsters are tough to deal with." Ka Wa's face was grim. Just one mutated hound had caused his squad to suffer heavy losses.

Wouldn't those even more powerful and bizarre creatures be even harder to deal with?

The situation unfolded exactly as Kava had predicted.

More monsters, a fusion of flesh and machine, entered the warship.

They are more resilient to damage than humans, and it takes the sacrifice of several Fire Caste warriors to kill them.

However, to Kava's surprise, the human Auxilia were better at dealing with these strange creatures than the Fire Caste warriors.

Even though their weapons were inferior to those of the Fire Caste, the damage they inflicted on those strange creatures was greater.

Ka Vah asked them what they had done and how they could deal more damage than the Fire Caste Warriors.

"We did nothing. We just prayed fervently to the Greater Good before we opened fire, hoping it would help us defeat those monsters."

A human Auxilia's answer made Kava realize the Fanaticism faith of the Imperium of Man.

Faith is the best way to deal with these monsters.

When he ordered his squad members to pray to the Greater Good, the damage did increase somewhat, but it was still not enough.

"The loyalty of the Fire Caste warriors to the Greater Good is beyond doubt, but they have been instilled with scientific ideas since childhood and have long established their worldview."

"Even if they pray to the Greater Good, they cannot receive blessings like humans do."

Realizing the problem, Ka Vah quickly reported it to the other commanders.

Let them send the relevant information back to their homeworld.

However, immediately after sending it, Kava realized a problem.

If the T'au Empire were to subsequently promote faith extensively in order to combat Warp creatures,

In the end, faith will inevitably become radical Fanaticism, eventually stagnating and turning into a high-tech, Fanaticism religious society.

Isn't that just a replica of the Imperium of Man?

A wave of despair washed over Kava.

This Milky Way seems to harbor some terrible malice.

All races and civilizations are inevitably headed for destruction.

But Kava's suffering did not last long.

Because he was torn apart by a metal demon with a treadle-like lower body, his dim soul became the other party's little dessert, crunching away.

The T'au Empire gained absolutely nothing from this chaotic war.

Fortunately, their commander was smart enough to realize their weakness and decisively escaped through the temporary Webway that had not yet collapsed, thus avoiding the annihilation of the entire army.

The tragedy of the T'au Empire was merely a minor episode in the Battle of Sindu.

The various factions involved in the war were unaware of the Tau Clan's involvement.

The military strength of the Tau people is too small; it is merely a tiny ripple in the face of this Apocalypse-level war.

"Kill them."

"For Morgana."

"Let the enemy bleed for the sake of Khorne."

"..."

The players were as frenzied as ever, shouting all sorts of bizarre and blasphemous slogans.

Some Chaos Warband were confused by the players' slogans.

For a moment, he couldn't tell whether he was fighting the Corpse Emperor's minions or the followers of the gods.

While the various factions were engaged in fierce fighting, Trazyn was not idle either.

Under the guise of protecting important cultural relics, he plundered the treasures of the Necron nobles of various dynasties.

They were all collected and placed in their own museum.

"You're utterly shameless," Orikan said, expressing his disdain for Trazyn's actions.

"Put their astrology device back first before you start criticizing me," Trazyn retorted without mincing words.

The two shameless individuals continued arguing while simultaneously looting the treasuries of various dynasties.

Many Phaerakh of various dynasties suffered heavy losses and numerous defeats in this battle.

Multiple warships exploded, causing incalculable damage.

When they returned, they found that their hometown had been robbed.

Several people fainted on the spot from anger.

The emotional fluctuations were too great, and the data processing center couldn't handle them.

On the other side of the battlefield,

The Silent King ultimately failed.

Faced with the combined forces of the Void Dragon and the two Primarch,

Even if he and his personal guards were incredibly strong, they couldn't possibly defeat such a lineup.

He was merely the supreme ruler of the Necrontyr Ones, not a god.

After a fierce battle, Szarekh's personal guards were almost entirely wiped out.

He too was defeated by Jagatai, a single blade piercing his metal chest.

With its power core destroyed, it could no longer drive its heavy, Active Metal body and collapsed to its knees.

Szarekh looked at the Void Dragon hovering in the air, surging with terrifying energy.

"Why? Why help a group of Mon-keigh?"

The Void Dragon looked at the Silent King with eyes burning with light and spoke in a mocking tone,

"Humans are Mon-keigh. Do you think you're so noble in our eyes? You're nothing but a bunch of reckless slaves who betray their masters."

"Just because you received a few gifts from my clan, do you really think you're superior?"

"Don't forget the tragedy of your first battle against the Old Ones. You were defeated without even knowing where the enemy was."

The Void Dragon showed no mercy, and Szarekh's betrayal resulted in him being imprisoned for tens of millions of years.

The reason Szarekh wasn't killed on the spot was because Qin Yun gave the order.

Moreover, I didn't intend for him to die so quickly.

The Void Dragon intends to imprison Szarekh indefinitely, to let him experience the taste of being deprived of freedom.

Let the other party count the days, suffering for tens of millions of years.

The Void Dragon's words really provoked Szarekh quite a bit.

But he was powerless to refute it.

The Necrons were indeed slaves of the C'tan, and they were able to win the War in Heaven only with the C'tan's help.

"They're no better than us. If we'll betray you, won't they?" Szarekh tried to sow discord.

"Whether it's true or not doesn't matter, all I want is for you to pay the price." The Void Dragon said this with hatred in his eyes.

Sixty million years! Do you know how he spent those sixty million years?

He was counting down every single second; it was pure agony.

If it were an ordinary living being, it would probably have gone mad long ago.

The Void Dragon that had compassion for the Necrons is dead. You chose him, Szarekh.

This time, it's all about revenge; even Living Saint couldn't stop it.

"Let me show you what imprisonment is like. You will spend the rest of your life in jail, you traitor."

The Void Dragon spread its arms and conjured a Dimensional Cube out of thin air, banishing the Silent King Szarekh into it.

"As long as I'm alive, you'll never be free."

After the Void Dragon finished speaking, it closed the dimensional portal.

Szarekh will not die, nor will he fall asleep; he will remain awake in an empty Dimensional Space, waiting for the day the universe is destroyed.

This is undoubtedly an extremely vicious punishment.

The Void Dragon felt an extraordinary sense of satisfaction; this was the price of betraying the C'tan.

Silent King Szarekh was captured, and the Necron Dynasty loyal to him attempted to save him.

However, they were no match for a C'tan who had recovered to 50% health, and were easily defeated by the Void Dragon.

Instead, the Void Dragon seized the opportunity to steal the fragments they were guarding, successfully restoring itself to 70% strength and making it even more powerful.

Left with no other choice, the Necron Dynasties had to abandon the rescue attempt and opt for evacuation.

After the relevant news was released,

Imotekh, the Stormlord of the Sautekh Dynasty, was the first to step forward.

"The era of the Silent King has ended. For the sake of our people's destiny, we must unite."

His rallying cry attracted many Necron forces to join him.

However, Trazyn and Orikan also stepped forward, calling on many dynasties to abandon their useless arrogance and become vassals of the Imperium of Man.

"The Living Saint has gained the support of two C'tan, and at the same time, he has also received help from the Aeldari. He has promised to help the Necron Race regain their bodies."

"As long as we join the Imperium of Man, we will have the opportunity to return to our flesh and blood bodies, healthy flesh and blood bodies."

The two presented multiple pieces of evidence and also rallied a group of Necron forces.

Because many Necrons have fallen into a state of personality degeneration and loss of rationality.

Stormlord Imotekh only wanted to seize power and gain dominance; he never considered how to deal with the gradual extinction of the Necrons, whose metal bodies were degenerating and turning them into mindless metal the Beast.

The Necrons split into two factions.

One faction is the hardliners, who want to rule the Milky Way and use all the living beings in the Milky Way as sacrifices to restore their bodies.

The other faction is the surrender faction. They are willing to serve the Imperium of Man as long as Qin Yun is willing to provide the technology to transform them back into living beings.

Tensions were running high between the two sides, each believing the other to be a traitor who disregarded the future of their race.

The struggle quickly escalated to the point of irreconcilable conflict.

The Battle of Sindu has ended, and Vashtorr has gained control of the Sindu System.

The Imperium has completed its plan to destroy the Haunted Necropolis.

The Orks got a great WAAAGH.

Players enjoyed a wave of fun with the expansion and generous rewards, especially the Zuowangdao.

Tyranid neither gained nor lost; although many of their Bio-ship were destroyed, they also managed to consume Orks and humans.

Under the repeated cleansing of the Haunted Necropolis and the energy of the Warp, the biological genes mutated, greatly benefiting Tyranid.

Only the T'au Empire suffered a devastating loss, not only losing a powerful fleet but also having its morale shattered.

The end of the battle did not attract much attention from Qin Yun, because he was thinking about how to revive Old Man Emperor.
