The Warp is a place where answers can never be obtained because the human brain cannot understand it, which is why only individuals with psionic mutations can see it.
Even then, the Navigator's third eye doesn't really perceive it, they just filter out the parts that would drive mortals crazy.
Of course, among the creatures closing in on the Revenge, there was something like a cross between a snake and a shark.
In fact, they are neither living creatures nor ghosts, but some kind of transmutation state of human souls, which have been distorted by the power of darkness and become some kind of amorphous creation.
These creations locked onto the Revenge from all directions at the same time. They crept up from the past, glided from the future, and converged on a fragile point in time and space, relying on this point in time and space to imprison the Revenge in their desires.
They have eyes, lots and lots of eyes, and their bodies are piled with a bunch of insignificant things that can take on any shape, because they have no real shape, but they always have eyes.
In a sense, they also have wings, claws and fangs, as well as a large amount of scalding liquid to withstand the cold caused by the warp storm.
They were roasted by the flames, glistening as the flames melted, and the ice on their scales was as sharp as daggers.
All demons are born in the abyss of the spiritual realm and have never been forced by reality to transform into any form. Remaining the same from one moment to the next is as foreign to them as distortion is to the human brain.
Suddenly, one of them opened its mouth, and the Predator placed itself at the same end point as the Revenge, forcing itself into an unfamiliar world to avoid being annihilated by the energy field surrounding the ship.
The minds inside are full of crazy potential, and delicious souls can be sucked into them.
Most of the time, the predators of the Warp feed on scraps - moments of emotion or pain, or fragments of the stripped soul.
But here, the food is so plentiful that it can make any predator bloated and terrifying, like a whale drifting in the abyss, opening its mouth to swallow huge amounts of plankton.
Thousands of bright lights flicker within the ship, each a potential feast and passageway for immaterial predators.
Soon, it discovers that an unprotected mind is painfully able to free itself from the constraints of reality and force its way into Food's mind.
So it laughed and swooped down.
"careful!!!"
Screams are the first sign that something is wrong on deck.
A huge laser cannon is connected to the plasma reactor at the stern of the ship, which has remained silent since the battle broke out.
The gunners still think it can fight, because lasers are fickle, especially since they still need the power to fight against giant ships. In order to ensure that there are no problems during use, the technical priests are constantly cleaning the dirt and dirt on the laser focusing lenses.
When cleaning pipes, any tiny flaw will cause uncontrollable forces to lead in unpredictable directions.
But suddenly,
A worker fell from a height and was facing a huge mirror.
The worker fell to the ground, and the foreman knew he must be dead. It was a sound he had heard many times before.
The foreman was not eager to know what happened to the workers who fell to the ground. This kind of thing happened too often, especially during battles, but death meant trouble.
If there is one less person here, people will have to be pulled from other parts of the ship, and the Revenge has already lost many people, and they are in the abyss without help.
But the workers were nervous because the unexplained accidental death of a person was unlucky.
Some people say that if you die on a spaceship, you will never get out. Even if the crew members are baptized into the national religion, they cannot stop the superstition born in the empty shell.
However, the dead man is not dead.
When the foreman walked to the body, he saw that the body was howling like a drowned animal, and its wrists and ankles were shaking, as if it was returning to normal.
The foreman expressed dissatisfaction that the man was still alive, since he would surely die soon, and transporting him to the infirmary would be an unnecessary waste of manpower.
"Anyway, I'm going to turn into a servitor soon, so I'll relieve you."
The foreman raised the electric shock baton, preparing to give this guy a blow on the head to make him die completely.
But then, he took a step back in fear during the interview.
"Damn it! What's going on!"
The dying man's body swelled as his ribs cracked, one side of his body separated from the other, and as the pelvis split, so did his organs.
The sternum of the corpse was broken, and the ribs hit the laser shield next to it. There were countless things squirming under the skin, as if ripples were forming, and the whole person quickly turned into an arched state of twisting, pulsating flesh and bones.
Thick blood dripped onto the metal deck at the same time.
Then, the dead crewman's head tilted to one side, his chin was twisted at an angle, and his eyes were still open. (Inspired by the movie "The Thing", you can take a look if you haven't seen it)
"God Emperor!! What is that!!"
"Monster! Heretic! Heretic!"
"vomit--"
Everyone made sounds of panic, but the space in the laser deck suddenly became distorted and darkened.
The predator forced its way through the barrier, its shadow spilling across the floor like the contents of a gaping belly, and then the body's remaining skin split open and eyes squeezed out, blinking to absorb the light.
.
The screaming started.
What followed was a massacre, an absolute massacre.
Warning icons flashed in the spacecraft, and the communicator was accompanied by crazy screams and howls of demons and monsters. In order to avoid spreading fear, the bridge directly cut off the communication connection.
This kind of thing happened one after another on the Revenge, and along with the red pirates jumping gangs came all kinds of twisted and grotesque demons.
Admiral Karanswo desperately tried to mobilize all the forces at his disposal to resist the enemy.
The Revenge contains the most elite anti-repulse gang troops. They are well-equipped and well-trained, and are no less powerful than the Stormtroopers of the Astra Militarum. They are capable of fighting even against the Chaos Space Marines.
But facing the demons, they were unable to do anything. They could only rely on the psychic barriers barely erected by the navigators to protect most areas of the battleship from being directly penetrated by the demons.
But those demons that have already penetrated need more professional and powerful troops.
For this reason, Admiral Kalansworth requested the assistance of the Astral Knights.
Lothar's fourth company now only has thirty-five soldiers. These troops are the key to protecting the Soul Messenger. But in the face of Admiral Kalanswo's continuous requests, Lothar realized that the Revenge may soon be unable to support it.
Already.
If this flagship is destroyed, then the war situation will be very, very unhappy.
Therefore, Lothar could only bite the bullet and mobilized ten warriors to form a support team, led by Robin, who used two-way teleportation to directly reach the Revenge, and also brought along five castle-level combat robots.
