The second phrase, "Curse Scar," was enough to send chills down Alvin's spine, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and causing him to break out in a cold sweat.

If he had known beforehand that there was a "Warp Gate" hidden here, he would never have...

Lure the Tyranid Swarm here!

This isn't some kind of Warp Gate; it's a super bomb that could explode at any moment!

He finally understood why this place had been designated a "Death World" by the Emperor during the 30k Great Crusade.

I guess they just don't want to attract attention.

It's even possible that this place wasn't originally the "Death World," but was transformed into it by the Emperor to keep a secret!

It's important to understand that the explosion of the world of Fortress of Cadia has torn the Realspace apart with the Cursed Scar, allowing the power of the Warp to be unleashed, with particularly severe effects on the Dark Imperium!

He couldn't even imagine what would happen if another cursed mark were torn open on top of the first one.

What will the Imperium of Man become?

It's highly probable that things will revert to the chaotic state they were in before the Great Crusade, and even the extinction of humanity is not out of the question!

Once the second rift opens, the ensuing chain reaction will have consequences far beyond what the current Imperium, or even humanity, can withstand!

Alvin's face was extremely grim. No wonder "Yellow Skin" specifically sent Winnie to find her!

But there was still one thing he didn't understand.

"Could a Warp Gate really cause such serious consequences?" Alvin still harbored a sliver of hope.

Warp Gate do exist, and while they are extremely dangerous, it's a bit of an exaggeration to say they can cause a second Curse Scar.

If it were that easy, Abaddon would have already been driving his Blackstone Fortress around ramming into Warp Gate.

Why would anyone need to specifically choose the world of Fortress of Cadia?

Winnie wasn't surprised at all by Alvin's question. She simply looked at him quietly and said calmly, "Because the creator of this gate was the former ruler of the galaxy—and also the race with the deepest understanding of the Warp."

"Ancient... Old Ones?!"

Alvin's face turned ashen, his eyes twitching uncontrollably. How did this thing get involved with the "Old Ones" again?

"Is he really that unlucky? First, there was the Necron creation and the C'tan, and now an Old Ones creation." "Back then, after the Emperor discovered this place, he immediately sealed the gate with the 'Blackstone,' and also used the Necron's Blackstone Creation as the first line of defense, blocking it outside." Winnie's tone was somewhat complicated and helpless as she glanced at him and sighed, "But I never expected you to discover this place and take the Blackstone Creation with you, which is why this thing—now—is practically defenseless, just exposed to the outside."

Well, in the end, it was his fault?

Alvin was speechless. "How could I have known that behind the Blackstone Creation of the Necron was a Warp Gate the Old Ones?"

What kind of Hell joke is this?

The Old Ones and the Necron, once the two great rulers of the galaxy, have coincidentally hidden their creations here!

Who could be more unlucky than him?!

Let alone Alvin, even a seasoned Inquisitor or Grand Sage of the Mechanicus would never have imagined that behind the Blackstone Creation of the Necron, there was a huge creature hidden!

Perhaps this was exactly what the Yellow Skin was thinking back then: to use one secret to hide another!

In this way, even if the Star God Fragment are discovered, no one will suspect that something else is hidden behind them.

An even bigger secret!

"You really have told me a shocking secret." Alvin sighed deeply. Secrets often mean that a price must be paid for them.

Because he changed the course of the Stygian Shield campaign, the storyline deviated from its intended path.

In the original storyline, after the Stygian Shield was breached by Tyran, it quickly turned its attention to the Baal System, which later became the fierce Battle of Baal!

In other words, under normal circumstances, the Tyran fleet would not pay attention to this planet, because Pertita is a barren, resource-poor, and Death World.

However, it was precisely because of Alvin's appearance that the course of the Stygian Shield campaign deviated from its original trajectory.

The Tyran fleet landed on Pertita and, in their search for him, dug deep into the earth, almost hollowing out the entire planet!

If left unchecked, Tyran will soon find this place and discover this "Warp Gate" created by the Old Ones!

Even with only a one in ten thousand chance, Alvin wouldn't dare gamble on whether Tyran would attack the gate!

He can't afford to gamble, and neither can humanity!

If the gamble is lost, the horrific consequences will be unbearable for anyone. The second Curse Scar is enough to drag the entire Imperium of Man into the abyss of darkness!

This meant that Alvin had to change his original plan and could no longer allow Tyran to dig everywhere.

We've touched upon Pertita's secret.

"Etc-"

M

Suddenly, Alvin had an idea: could he use Transformers technology to "Miniaturization" the door and throw it into another world?

In this way, he would no longer have to worry about Tyran discovering this Warp Gate.

But soon, Alvin sighed helplessly. This door was a product of the Old Ones, and the technology it used far surpassed the Micro Space Compression technology he had obtained in the Transformers world.

In layman's terms, this door cannot be "Miniaturization"!

He can transport factories to other worlds using Miniaturization technology. He first Miniaturization, then puts them in his Personal Space, and then travels back in time to restore them to normal.

The inability to Miniaturization means that such a large door cannot fit into Personal Space, and therefore cannot be moved to other worlds.

Now he had to change his plans.

The strategy shifted from guerrilla warfare to direct confrontation.

The difficulty involved is self-evident, especially considering that Tyran was thoroughly enraged by the selection a few days ago and now wishes he could skin him alive, tear him apart, and squeeze his marrow dry!

It's fair to say that Alvin has firmly attracted the hatred of the Tyranid Hive's will!

Under such extreme circumstances, defending Pertita head-on and preventing Tyran from finding the "Warp Gate" would be an impossible task!

Yellow Skin, they really know how to cause trouble!

Alvin sighed, and after some careful consideration, he looked up at Winnie: "I can only hold out for a few more days at most. To completely defend this place, we need a large number of reinforcements."

"Imperium reinforcements are on their way."

Winnie's expression was cool and composed. She brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, her brows furrowing with a mixture of seriousness and concern. "You must hold this place until reinforcements arrive."

I'll try my best.

Alvin sighed softly, his tone seemingly casual, but his eyes were extremely resolute.

This gate must be defended!
