The Hrud's Terrifying Entropy Field
876. M30.
The flagship of the 5th Legion, the Relic-class battleship Starship, training deck.
After numerous experiments, Star Lord Santiago Bergkamp discovered that, as a "Scribe," he could record a total of twenty-two abilities of Royal Court Knight, lords, and Baron.
They received power from the Black Emperor once, twice, and three times respectively.
After discovering that the "Scribe" had almost identical storage capacity for recording their abilities, he began to consciously devise combinations of abilities.
Since his gifts were not suited for combat compared to other Royal Court Friar, he naturally turned his attention to that area.
The "Scribe" stared at the furious figure of the "People of Fury," his eyes simultaneously reflecting a phantom book that was slowly turning its pages.
The "Scribe" drives the activated cells in the "brain" to form wave symbols, water droplet ripples, and anger symbols.
Boom!
The Training Dummy was blasted apart by the "Fury Strike," with shattered limbs scattered all over the ground.
At the same time, the symbols, patterns, and markings in the "Scribe's " eyes rapidly disappeared.
"Record" failed.
Santiago was not discouraged; he thought, "I'll try again."
"Continue."
The "People of Fury," having pent-up anger, roared at the very moment the Training Dummy spun and descended.
The illusory book in the "Scribe's " eyes slowly turned the pages, symbols, patterns, and markings Flash Step rapidly.
Amidst the crackling sound, the "Scribe" stared at a leaping arc of furious electricity on the page and nodded in satisfaction.
Feeling his Spirituality become more vibrant, Santiago gave an order.
That's all for today.
Santiago then headed for the elevator and returned to his captain's quarters.
Compared to other lords, his cabin was more like Psionic Energy artisan's laboratory or Psionic Energy alchemy room.
The walls are covered with star charts, and the ceiling is filled with Astrological Clock...
His excessive possession of astrological items is the most obvious difference between him, a seasoned "Astrologer," and Psionic Energy craftsman.
Santiago walked up to the workbench for carving Psyker Crystal, a feat that even a "Thousand Sons" wizard would marvel at.
It was carved from a single piece of material sourced from the Crystal Illusion Realm.
The largest piece of Psyker Crystal mined from the Reflective Cavern behind City of Tizca is less than one-fifth the size of this.
Santiago entered the First Layer of Magnus Mindset, and then ascended to the third level.
The Daemonology Psyker sensed the surging tide of Aether.
The Psionic Energy artisan picked up Psyker Probe and Engraving Knife, both made of Psyker Crystal.
These tools were crafted by Daemonology Psyker, and the entire refining process took place in the Warp, untouched by the real world.
Santiago stared at the strange backpack that was beginning to take shape.
Compared to the Astartes' Power Pack, it is shorter but longer, gradually narrowing as it extends outwards.
The backpack's edge is engraved with shimmering Psyker Crystal, and an abstract rune sits in the center.
The runes consist of an incomplete Trident, an incomplete triangle, and an inverted triangle.
Aeldari Aspect Warrior, Warp Spider.
Santiago slid the Psyker Probe in his left hand slowly, carefully discerning the pulsating Aether light.
His right hand occasionally brought down the Engraving Knife to embellish the backpack.
Orion - Cygnus Arm, Sac Trada Abyss.
The edge of the Gugan System, Volpa Star Canyon.
The planet Gorgis is hidden in a dark nebula, dense asteroids, and canyons formed by a forest of massive celestial bodies—it is the only corridor of the Volpa Star Canyon.
In the canyon-like corridor, three black destroyers, arranged in an arrow formation, cautiously navigated through the dark nebula surrounding a frigate.
On one side of Star Gorge, six warships emerged from the shadows in a petal-shaped formation.
They are blurry and almost invisible in the ever-changing time field.
Just before the Entropy Beam was projected, the alarm lights on the bridge of the "Shadow of Order" warship blared urgently.
The Simulacrum Sanctum network discerned the approaching enemy from among the nebulae and dust, from the floating stones.
Time surged like a tidal wave, crashing onto a destroyer.
The ship tilted completely, as if it had been hit by a wave and crashed into the sea.
In an instant, it seemed to have aged a million years; the engine's light disappeared, and the hull showed obvious signs of Corrosion.
Within seconds, the crew member aged and turned into a pile of dust.
In the blink of an eye, it became a crumpled, rusty wreck.
The three warships quickly turned around.
On the right side of the frigate, the officers of the destroyer saw a horrific scene on their monitors and frantically ordered their guns to fire.
The destroyer frantically fired a barrage of live ammunition, which slammed into the Spacetime Wavefront of the Hrud' mysterious shield.
A bright burst of light erupted as the annihilated matter, and the shell vanished abruptly.
The commander of the escort ship's Shadow of Order calmly reminded everyone in the fleet channel.
"Aether Cannon, Shadow Blaster, Lascannon."
"Only they can damage the Hrud's warships."
The destroyer on the left of the frigate was the first to complete a 45-degree turn.
The Lascannon array unleashed a dense barrage of bullets, the dazzling light striking one of the enemy ships in the petal-shaped formation.
"Hit!"
The Chief Gunnery Officer shouted excitedly, the thrill of damaging the Xenos ships overcoming fear.
The destroyer accelerated and turned, attempting to launch an attack from an Aether Cannon mounted under its bow.
The Entropy Beam captured it, and within the time field of the ship's portion, all matter was forced into a constant baseline temperature state.
Atomic dispersion.
With neutrons scattered and radioactivity escaping, nearly half of the ship disintegrated.
Ripples of spacetime swept past the wreckage on both sides at high speed, and amidst the cacophony of alarms, the ship screamed.
Time flies by in the chaotic vortex.
Different parts of the wreckage were forcibly pulled into different frames of reference.
An officer, his skin withered and aged, collapsed to the ground.
The other officer, less than a meter away, was unharmed. Before he could even feel relieved, he saw the Cogitator explode.
Matter undergoes displacement measured in seconds, triggering a series of ear-piercing explosions.
The frigate completed a 45-degree turn, and the Shadow Blaster unleashed a series of dense light curtains.
The Shadow Blaster has already been deployed on a large scale on the frigate-class ships of the "Shadow of Order".
The seemingly real yet illusory Herud ship, amidst a series of magnetic and optical explosions, transformed into an ominous black shadow, like the shadow imprinted on a starstone by the light of a star.
The destroyer ahead of the frigate nimbly completed a graceful turn.
An Aether Cannon mounted on the lower bow of the destroyer emitted a dazzling burst of colorful light.
As if parting the clouds, the colorful beams swept away the Entropy Shield, preventing spacetime from Distortion.
A dazzling Lance followed, piercing and tearing through the Herud ship.
The four remaining Herud warships fired Entropy Energy beams that captured the hull of the escort ship.
The spacetime shockwave rolled forward, heading straight for the escort ship.
The frigate tumbled in the void like an ellipsoidal sphere, with Entropy Field continuously striking it.
The Simian Field protects the black ship amidst the impact of the spacetime vortex.
The frigate rolled over, its bow pointing directly at a Xenos vessel.
With the command of the Shadow of Order, two beams of Aether energy shot out, sweeping away the chaotic Entropy Shield.
The moment the Lance pierced through, the alarms on the bridge went off like crazy.
The Herud ships, like shadows, obscured the star-crossing chasm.
The Shadow of Shadow of Order remained calm as he watched black warships emerge from the nebula.
