"The Emperor Above, what is this?!"

Diego was a little confused for a moment when he looked at the huge machine that appeared out of thin air in front of him.

He had seen many twisted things among Warp, but none of them could compare with the Machine Body in front of him.

Its style seems out of place with the entire Warp.

But Grand Master has seen countless unknown threats, and he is cautiously wary of the huge machinery in front of him.

"Kaldor·Diego, Grey Knights Supreme Grand Master."

Hearing his name and position announced by a cold machine.

Diego's eyes under the helmet shrank slightly.

"Who are you? Why do you know my identity?"

Gaze-Render didn't say much, but directly activated Holographic Projection.

The scene inside Titan Ship was projected to Diego.

The almost completely realistic scene change made Diego more alert. Psychic Power slowly flowed around it, constantly sensing its surroundings.

Daemon's methods are all kinds of strange, and all kinds of conspiracies are endless.

He himself was thrown into this hellish place while resisting the Daemon spell.

Among Warp, Daemon are far better at space transfer than him.

However, he felt no malice directed at him, nor any trace of Chaos Sorcery.

The energy flowing in this forest is not completely consistent with those Daemon World. According to his analysis, Daemon will also become very conspicuous here.

Diego looked around cautiously. Psychic Power perceived that except for the giant mechanic entity in front of him, all other figures were not real.

But he still felt doubtful.

Some of the people around him looked at him with reverence, while others looked at him with scrutiny, especially the tall figure. Even though it was just a shadow, he seemed to feel some unique sense of oppression from him.

"Illusion?"

Diego There is some uncertainty.

However, Machine Body, who projected the image, spoke again, and the emotionless electronic sound seemed to be mixed with a hint of helplessness.

"It's just Holographic Projection, technology."

But Iax did not show any impatience towards Diego.

Not to mention that Men of Iron has more patience than anyone else. Just based on the data analysis, he can understand the reason for the other party's caution.

Anyone who is alone in Warp will have no contact with anything except Daemon and various weird creatures.

Everything is malicious.

If you didn't have a strong will, a firm and devout faith, and an extremely cautious heart, you might have become Daemon's plaything.

But all this is simply unimaginable to Diego.

It's not like he never thought about encountering Imperial Ships and leaving Warp completely. But he knew very well that this was just a dream.

Warp is too big, and he doesn't have a battleship. It is impossible for Imperial Ships to land on any Daemon World. That would be to die.

Tzeentch Daemon once deceived him, saying that he would send him back to Realspace, but Diego simply ignored it.

Diego finally figured out one thing from Daemon. The curse of M'kar is not that simple.

As long as he stays in Realspace, he will bring disaster to Imperium.

The previous ability to briefly return to Realspace was all due to the powerful blessing of Emperor, which temporarily suppressed the effect of the curse.

After that, he had given up the idea of returning to Realspace completely, unless he could completely kill M'kar the Undying and lift the curse.

But this is not despair for Grand Master.

Banishing Daemon in the territory of Imperium ultimately meant that Imperial World was harmed by it, and Diego decided to start directly from the source and kill those Daemon directly in Warp.

It is precisely because of this that the legend in Grey Knights knows almost nothing about the return of Men of Iron.

As for the shocking plan of Punitive Expedition, there is no way to know.

But Diego is not reckless.

Although he did not believe everything he was seeing with his eyes, he still did not directly attack Machine Body in front of him.

"Say your purpose, Iron Clanks."

"We seek additional intelligence."

"Information about what?"

"According to the Imperium file records, you have arrived in the territory of Nurgle and also visited the grassland of Prince of Pleasure and killed six Daemon sent by Slaanesh."

Diego's eyes contracted slightly under the helmet, and his mind kept churning. When he has the next opportunity to return to Realspace, he must let Inquisition find out what happened.

"This machine needs to know the method or specific coordinates of how to go to the so-called divine realm of Nurgle and Slaanesh."

Machine Body's words made Diego frown a little.

"What the hell are you? Why is a Iron Clanks pursuing this?"

"Those Chaos God may be able to satisfy your desires, but the price is to sink into darkness forever. Anyone who succumbs to darkness will be swallowed up."

However, Machine Body's answer made him feel inexplicably confused.

"We are the crystallization of wisdom of Creator, the echo of Old Era's recovery, and the fruit of human civilization. We are Men of Iron!"

"As for pursuing Chaos God's divine domain, I have no desire whatsoever. I am just going to give him a heavy hammer as a punishment for provoking Federation's dignity."

"Wait, the fruits of human civilization? Men of Iron? Federation?"

The weird vocabulary made Diego's mind a little confused.

But soon Grand Master had his own speculations. The time in Warp was full of chaos, and no one knew what they would encounter.

As for Daemon, Diego still had some incorrect guesses.

Maybe this weird machine comes from something that Ancient Era lost in Warp.

The chaotic time allowed us to meet by chance.

If what the other party said is true, then maybe it comes from Age of Darkness or an earlier period.

But why did the other party know themselves? Imperium file? They encountered the Inquisition ship lost in Warp?

All kinds of speculations make Diego's head swell.

For a moment Diego suddenly felt that Daemon was not bad either.

At least once you see the other person, you can just chop them with a knife. There are so many additional issues to consider.

If it weren't for the Iron Clanks in front of him, Diego was a little unsure whether he could beat the opponent, otherwise he would have inserted the Titan Sword in his hand into the opponent's head.

After all, the other party's Power Claw looks about the same size as mine.

Does anyone know if Psychic Spells is useful for this kind of thing.

The projection surrounding Diego suddenly disappeared. Diego, who noticed the change, noticed that Machine Body in front of him suddenly turned around and headed deeper.

Diego didn't understand that the other party seemed very sure that he would not launch an attack.

But before he could figure out why this was happening, an emotionless voice came into his ears.

"Warning, large units are approaching, multiple units exist, specific information is unknown. We are seeking support and guarding specific targets to ensure the source of intelligence."
