He Didn't Like Watching That
Lin En was on his way to the battlefield, slumped in his chair like a salted fish.
He was holding a teacup on his stomach, crookedly, as if he might spill it all over himself at any moment.
The staff on the bridge were already used to it.
When Lord Lin En has nothing to do, he looks like this, lounging there like a salted fish drying its belly, not moving at all.
Lin En closed his eyes to rest and lay flat.
I've drawn cards a few times recently, but they've all been pretty useless.
[Fireball: Fires a fireball that deals burning damage in a small area. It's not very effective for attacking, but it's very useful for survival in the wild.]
... It feels like it's both useless and somewhat useful.
[Scent Tracking: Blue can track scents, tracing the olfactory traces of targets, increasing olfactory sensitivity by 200%.]
This one too. I don't know what it's for, but it seems like it might be somewhat useful.
One of the most useful is [Communication Link: Blue can choose one friendly target for remote communication each day for three minutes, with a 24-hour cooldown, and is not limited by distance.]
Three minutes once a day, regardless of distance. In other words, no matter where in the Milky Way the other person is, as long as they select a target, they can talk directly.
This skill is good. Although several main teammates have Webway Communicator to contact each other, this skill can contact people who don't have Webway Communicator.
Moreover, it's blue, which makes it very easy to enhance.
Since she was reluctant to sacrifice the purple card, Lin En sacrificed the previously drawn, rather useless blue card, "Survive in Space for One Minute," to the Communication Link.
[Confirmed.]
Sacrifice space survivor (blue) to enhance Communication Link (blue).
Enhancement level: 50%.
Duration: Three minutes → Four and a half minutes.
Cooldown time: 24 hours.
Target quantity: 1.
The Communication Link lasted for four and a half minutes, and the 24-hour cooldown remained unchanged, indicating that the skill has a daily hard limit.
The target number hasn't increased either; I don't know if it's because the number of people is too small to increase by 0.5, or if the number of people simply can't be increased.
Lin En wanted to try one more time, as it would allow her to determine if the target quantity could be increased, but she was reluctant to give up the other blue attributes.
There are only a few blue-coded attributes, and the other two are Physical Enhancement and Ballistic Calculation, which I'm reluctant to sacrifice. I feel that the Scent Tracking attribute I just pulled is useful, so I haven't sacrificed it either.
Okay, let's leave it at that for now.
Four and a half minutes of communication is generally sufficient.
Lin En closed his eyes, picked up the teacup, and took a sip. The tea was already cold. He smacked his lips and put the teacup down.
"Phoros."
"Yes." Phoros walked over from the side.
How long until we reach the next planet?
"My lord, it will probably take us another three hours or so to reach the Nephilim Sector."
"I'm going to take a nap. Wake me up when we get there."
"Yes."
Lin En put his teacup on the table, leaned back in his large conductor's chair, and rested his head on the armrest.
Phoros pulled the blanket next to him and draped it over him.
Lin En pulled the blanket over her head.
Phoros glanced around to make sure the adults wouldn't fall or catch a cold before turning and leaving.
Lin En was half-asleep, almost asleep.
Just then, in a daze, he suddenly heard the system casually say in his mind, "[There's a message you might be interested in.]"
Lin En opened his eyes a crack. "What?"
The system says: [A storyline you really like, the Pariah Nexus, is currently unfolding, and it's not far from our current location.]
"?!?!" Lin En realized what he had just heard, but it was too late. He sat bolt upright in shock, as if on his deathbed. "What?!?!"
He almost threw the blanket that Phoros had put on him onto the ceiling.
Pariah Nexus is one of the must-watch Warhammer animated shorts.
During the 40k era, after the return of the Silent King, the Necrons erected numerous Blackstone Obelisk on planets in the Nephilim Sector, creating a massive anti-spiritual energy field that Pariah Nexus.
Blackstone can suppress and shield the Warp, weaken all psionic energy, and diminish the emotions and souls of living beings.
Psyker inside will experience a sharp drop in power, even excruciating brain pain and mental breakdown. Ordinary people will become numb and lose their emotions, their will slowly drained, turning them into Blank. Chaos demons and Warp powers will find it difficult to enter this space, and those who do will be significantly weakened.
The Silent King's ultimate goal is to cover the entire galaxy with the Blackstone Network, isolate the Warp, and permanently annihilate Chaos.
Even if all living beings in the Milky Way lose their emotions and souls, it's alright; the Necron Dynasty will once again rule the galaxy.
... That's quite a dream.
The Nephilim Sector is located near the Ultramarines ' Ultramar and the Salamanders ' home Nocturne.
The Lord Regent discovered the anomaly in the Nephilim Sector and dispatched a combined force consisting of Ultramarines, Salamanders, Battle Sister, the Astra Militarum's Cadia, the Death Korps of Krieg, the Knights, the Adeptus Mechanicus, and the Inquisitor to reclaim the star system.
Here, humanity and the Necrons clashed for the first time in a full-scale war.
The anime "Pariah Nexus" takes place on Paradis III, the Sanctuary World in the Nephilim Sector.
Zeras, the Master Technomandrite of Zeras Necrons, is an old friend of the Silent King. It was he and the Silent King, back then, trusted the C'tan and single-handedly pushed the Necrontyr into the Forge of Life, transforming them into Necrons.
Afterwards, both Zeras and the Silent King deeply regretted their actions.
The Silent King went beyond the Milky Way to search for a way to revert to life.
Zeras remained in the galaxy, capturing life forms of various races for vivisection and neural experiments, attempting to transform the Necrons's Living Metal bodies back into flesh and blood.
Sa'kan and a squad of combat brethren from the Salamanders Chapter were en route to support the Sanctuary World in Thunderhawk when they were shot down by Necrons anti-aircraft fire.
The plane crashed, killing all the combat brothers on board. Sa'kan himself was seriously injured, crawled out of the wreckage, and then encountered a Ministorum Priest leading a few surviving children in hiding.
Even Cloudhammer has probably heard of the famous fire lizard warrior Sakan, who knelt down and spoke to a mortal child.
Another protagonist in Pariah Nexus is a Battle Sister from the Order of Our Martyred Lady named Danica.
After a series of battles, all the sisters of the Order of Our Martyred Lady had perished, and Danica was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
She had become numb, but later, as she traveled with Sa'kan and his group, she was inspired by Sa'kan and rediscovered her faith, choosing to protect civilians.
Then the Deathmark Assassin's Gauss Shattering Gun fired.
Danica collapsed at the moment she regained her faith, her soul returning to the Golden Throne.
That damned GW! Every time Lin En thinks about this scene, she grits her teeth and wants to curse.
He planned to go and save the Pariah Nexus.
While you're at it, also protect that ship full of blue and green canned goods.
Ultramarines are great blue cans, and Salamanders are great green cans.
And that incredibly skilled Ultramarines, the Red Helmet Sergeant, who exchanged several shots with the Deathmark Assassin but ultimately lost because the Deathmark could teleport—what a pity.
And then there's that Ministorum Priest who has to take care of several children in the Pariah Nexus.
Everyone says that Chaplain is weak and incompetent, but he was taking care of several children in that kind of environment; how bad could he be?
If possible, we must also save Sa'kan's arm.
We also need to save those children.
They also need to protect that Battle Sister named Danica.
Let whoever likes to see darkness go see it; he doesn't.
