From the mediocrity of thought, Omnisiah, save us!
From the lies of the infidels, circuit, protect us!
From the wrath of the beast, steel, protect us!
From the temptation of minced meat, silica, purify us!
From the ravages of the destroyer, may our souls shelter us!
From this creature's rotten prison, Mechanicum, set us free!
As a science and technology-focused sect, the Cult of the Machine God is ignorant because they are engaged in faith and worship.
But when everything they believe in becomes reality, when Omnesia truly appears before them, the Mechanicus will be more fanatical than any army in the Empire.
While this illustrates just how mad and confused the Mechanicus is, everyone saw that when the massive Greenskin fleet appeared before the Mechanicus's Ark-Forging Fleet, not a single Mechanic retreated.
The hymn of Omnesia is constantly being broadcast in the void of the universe. Regardless of what is in the universe, how do these sounds spread?
Asking is praising through any ripple you can perceive!
Whether you have hearing or not, this song will always resonate in your ears in unexpected ways!
The Greenskin fleet is enormous, centered around a War Moon, surrounded by various Greenskin-specific warships and spaceships, with Greenskins shouting "WAAAGH!"
"For Omnisiah!" a great sage proclaimed over the fleet's broadcast, "Let these barbaric greenskins witness true technological power!"
The massive cannon array on the sides of the Casting Ark began to unleash its power, its ancient yet immense fire roaring towards the Greenskinned Fleet.
Although its range is not as good as the Empire's new warships, every hit can create a huge hole in the green-skinned ships.
Not to be outdone, the Greenskinned War Moon suddenly opened countless launch ports on its surface, and a dense swarm of rockets rushed towards the human fleet like a bee.
"Activate the Void Shield! All ships, maintain maneuverability!" The Archsages of the Ark Fleet calmly and methodically issued the order.
The two armies engaged in a massive battle, but Zhou Qing did not intervene. He simply watched from afar as the Mechanicus fleet clashed with the Greenskins fleet from his Spirit River Heart.
It must be said that Zhou Qing, as a scientific leader, did not particularly like those who were doing well in science and technology but then went on to do religion, like the Cult of Mechanism.
However, the power they unleashed after having a correct religious faith was indeed remarkable.
"The outcome of the war is no longer in doubt. The Mechanicus's forging fleet is destined to win. Alright, let's now turn our attention back to the Zerg Swarm."
Zhou Qing continued to observe the battle. After about two hours, he turned his attention back to studying the battle against the insect swarm.
Nothing is more important than fighting the Zerg swarm, and what Zhou Qing needs to do most now is to curb the Zerg's tactic of resurrecting their own organisms and producing new warships even after they have been destroyed.
We need to develop an even more powerful splitting cannon!
The Federation's technology arsenal certainly possesses sufficiently powerful disintegration cannons, but these cannons are not enough to equip the Empire's warships.
The reasons are quite simple: one is the issue of core energy sources, and the other is the issue of materials.
Although the 108th world of the Misty Starfield can produce efficient warships, the main force of combat will inevitably still be the Imperial Fleet.
Therefore, the Qing Dynasty had to reduce the technological content of the splitting cannon while still meeting the requirements of the imperial warships, and a new scientific research project began.
On the edge of the 108 worlds of the Misty Starfield, the Greenskins and the Mechanicus are engaged in a frenzied conflict, while Zhou Qing, on the central planet of the Misty Starfield, is researching the technology of the Disintegration Cannon so that the Empire's warships can be equipped with it.
The Imperial Guard fleet at the edge of the galaxy continues to engage the Greenskins, attempting to slow their advance.
Guilliman worked hard to equip the Astronautical Army with the power armor provided by Zhou Qing, constantly trying to strengthen the Empire's military power. Everyone had a bright future ahead of them.
Aside from the Orks being beaten to a pulp by the Mechanical Boys, and the Zerg fleet being harassed by the Imperial Guard and looking rather annoyed...
Of course, among the species where everyone has a bright future, there are also space undead...
The Triune Council has discovered that Talazin, who has been operating within the Necromancer Kingdom of Space and selling souls everywhere, has clearly caught their attention.
Souls are such important things that once Tarasim begins to sell them, it will inevitably attract the attention of the Triune Council.
Chapter 222 A member of the Triune Council, the Hand of Shadows, Messofit, arrives in person.
The Triune Council has taken notice of Tara-Shin's practice of selling souls throughout the galaxy and granting souls to some members of the Space Necromancer dynasty.
Besides this guy who sells things everywhere and gives souls to some members of the dynasty, the Mountain Holy Council discovered something else that interested them during their further investigation.
In a small space necromantic dynasty, specifically the space necromantic dynasty in the core human region of the Misty Starfield.
One of their members has actually possessed a soul!
Moreover, a large number of ordinary space necromancer nobles possessed something similar to a soul, but not quite a complete soul!
Souls, this is what the undead in space yearn for.
King Silent Szalak's flawed decisions led to the loss of souls for all members of the Infinite Empire.
That's why I left the galaxy to search for souls for all the members of the Space Necromancers.
They've actually found it in the Milky Way! How incredibly awe-inspiring!
Therefore, after discussing the matter, Mesofie, the Hand of Shadows, and Hapsara, the Radiant One, immediately decided that the Triune Council should personally go and check on the soul's condition.
After two rounds of discussions, they made the final decision that the Shadow Hand Messofitt would personally go to the little necromancer kingdom to inquire how they obtained souls.
The two World Engines, serving as the vehicles of the Shadow Hand Messofitt, along with a fleet of Space Necromancers, marched in a grand procession directly to the outer perimeter of the 108th World of the Misty Starfield.
The Solantic Necromancer Dynasty, a small necromancer dynasty, would not have been worthy of being remembered by the Triune Council in the past.
But now they have that right, as a message from the Triune Council has arrived in their kingdom first.
Oberon stared blankly at the notification from the Triune Council that he had received.
Will Mesophite, the Shadow Hand of the Triune Council, personally visit the Necromancer Dynasty of Solantik?
Emperor Oberon never imagined that his small necromantic dynasty would attract the attention of the Triune Council.
In desperation, he had no choice but to summon his two hegemonic architects, "Nemontet" and "Seraphis".
He prepared to discuss with his two trusted subordinates how to deal with Mesophite, the Shadow Hand, one of the Trinity Council.
"Gentlemen, to tell you the truth, I have received a notice from the Tri-Holy Council that the great Shadow Hand Messofitt will personally visit our dynasty in the future."
"You all tell me, where should our dynasty go from here? I guarantee that the great Shadow Hand Mesophite will come to us because of the matter of the soul."
Oberon himself was well aware of the situation. After all, the fact that their dynasty was favored by one of the Three Holy Councils must be because of their souls.
The two overlords exchanged a glance, and then they reached their conclusions.
"Your Majesty, we can just report the facts. We're just buying goods anyway. Let the Tri-Holy Council negotiate with that human. Besides, we don't have any interest in this matter."
What to do? Nothing!
What does this have to do with them?
They're just purchasing staff, why can't they spread this news?
If this news gets out, Zhou Qing will gain even more customers. Isn't that good news?
However, Tarahim was rather pitiful.
But these are people from the Three Holy Council coming to ask him questions, and they didn't just send a representative, they came in person. They should be able to understand if they tell the truth, right?
“Great minds think alike. I think so too. Anyway, this matter isn’t bad for us. We’ll just report it truthfully.”
Oberon's thoughts were almost identical to those of his two subordinates.
However, even though they have made their own decision, there is still one thing they need to do.
"Although we have decided to report truthfully to the Council of the Three Saints, I feel it is necessary to give that great human commander some advance notice."
"It doesn't matter to us if Tarasin's interests are harmed, but it is necessary for us to ask the human commander for his opinion."
If he's pleased with our statement, then we've done him a favor by bringing so many customers from the Necromancer's Kingdom.
"Perhaps we can get an unexpected reward, even if we are not particularly meritorious."
Reporting this to that great human commander in advance will also prevent him from harboring any ill will towards us.
Oberon spoke his mind with a smug look on his face, and after he finished speaking, the other two overlords bowed to him.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty the Emperor!"
"As expected of His Majesty the Dharma King, you can easily think of things that neither of us could. We admire you!"
Upon hearing this, Oberon's face lit up with a smug expression, and he gestured to the people in front of him.
"You flatter me, you flatter me. This is all thanks to everyone. I will not keep this glory to myself!"
It was clear that Oberyn was very pleased with the flattery he received from his two overlords.
After gaining a soul, Oberyn's emotions became noticeably richer, as did his two undead overlords, with the three of them showering each other with compliments.
After the praise ended, Oberon restarted the communicator to request communication with Zhou Qing, who was conducting experiments in the laboratory. Zhou Qing also received the communication request from the space necromancer.
Upon receiving such a call, Zhou Qing casually tossed aside the materials he was studying and then answered the call.
"Oberen, what brings you to call me? Something must be wrong. I'm doing an experiment right now. Get to the point, don't bother with your aristocratic formalities."
Out of respect for his benefactor, Zhou Qing was willing to listen to what the other party had to say, but he hoped the other party would keep it brief and not waste his time.
"Your Excellency, there is an important matter to report," Oberon said respectfully. "Mesophile, the Shadow Hand of the Triune Council, is about to visit us to learn about the soul reshaping technology."
"But Tarasin is too flamboyant outside, which has attracted the attention of the Triune Council."
"We have no ill intentions in telling you this, Commander. We just wanted to give you a heads-up. After all, we are just a small dynasty, and we still need to answer the questions from the Three Saints Council."
Chapter 223 It's all because of Zhou Qing that they're about to take off.
After receiving the information from Oberon, Zhou Qing pondered for a moment and then summarized it.
"You mean it's because this guy Tarasim is selling souls outside that he has attracted the attention of your Triune Council?"
"One of your Triune members wants to come here personally to ask you where your souls are?"
"Yes, that's right, Commander."
"After all, you should know how important souls are to us space necromancers. Now that a soul has appeared here, it will naturally attract the attention of our highest authority, the Holy Council of the Three Saints."
Oberon once again respectfully echoed what Zhou Qing had said.
"So, according to your prediction, if your Triune Council's so-called Shadow Hand Mesophite were to come here, would he intend to seize the soul by force or conduct a peaceful transaction?"
Zhou Qing was not a space necromancer after all, and his contact with space necromancers was limited, so he was not qualified to conduct proper data analysis. Therefore, he asked the other party for advice.
