Chapter 394 Journey and Accidents

"Item No. 3900*0423 initiated notification and has completed the scheduled progress."

The servo skull equipped with the suspension system floated between the two people, interrupting their conversation.

Calvin did not say any more, but looked at the location of the furnace star through the porthole covered by the protective deck for a few seconds, and then walked toward the gray ceramic door.

Nicholas followed closely and followed the original body to the corridor outside the door.

The Honor Guard on duty nodded slightly in salute after seeing the two men, then raised their halberds and followed them silently.

The group of people walked towards the special elevator from the bridge to the lower level. The tapping sound of steel boots on the deck was spontaneously consistent with the original body. If you don't listen carefully, you can't tell the difference.

"Inform Judge Parthenon that the scheduled meeting has been postponed to four hours later."

Estimating the time he might spend in the test area, Calvin explained to the Forbidden Army Captain beside him.

The intelligence analysis meeting on the current situation of the Gian Moro sector was supposed to start after the fleet set off, but it was finally postponed to today due to various previous matters.

Calvin hoped to sort out the situation there before arriving at Gian Moro, but what he didn't know was that the situation there had long been out of the control of the empire.

The larger-scale pollution and internal confrontation within the empire that was brewing there had already gone beyond his worst expectations.

After transmitting the original body's order through the data pad in his hand, Nicholas nodded to Calvin.

Calvin, on the other hand, kept moving and discussed the Eye of the Empire with the former.

"I have watched the recent tactical drills of the Imperial Army, and I think you have heard enough of the praise. I will just say one thing. Regarding the anti-subspace combat effect, which is not ideal, what do you want to say?"

This was a question that Nicholas had expected, but when the original asked him the question, he still inevitably fell into a moment of embarrassment.

"...There is no intention to explain, and we do fall short in that regard."

Nicholas's expression remained unchanged, only his eyes flickered slightly. His recovery was slightly delayed for a moment, and then returned to normal.

But that in itself says a lot. It is an extremely rare thing for the proud Emperor's Eagle Guard to admit defeat.

"...You..." Calvin was also hesitating whether to take care of the pride of the Imperial Guards. But since the Imperial Army is returning to the battlefield of the Empire, this is a problem they cannot escape.

The Primarch ultimately chose to resolve the issue, lest unnecessary pride cause unnecessary damage.

"Go and find the Sisters of Silence, even if you have... betrayed them."

"...I will report to Lord Trajan truthfully and seriously consider your suggestions."

Nicholas said this, which ended the short conversation with this attitude.

"That's it..." Standing at the elevator door, Calvin was about to say goodbye to Nicholas when a sudden shock interrupted his conversation.

Scarlet warning lights instantly replaced the blue and white conventional lighting. Inside the battleship, which suddenly turned dark red, an alarm sound from the direction of the bridge was broadcasting emotionlessly:

"Warning! Warning! Emergency 0963, high collision warning! Repeat! High collision warning! Please follow the "Regulations" to avoid in advance!"

"What's going on?" Calvin called the bridge, and Fleet Admiral Tabers informed him of the current situation:

"Energy turbulence caused by unknown reasons, and there may be space-time interference in the core. The fleet is turning to avoid it, there is no big problem."

"How many times has this happened to us in three days?" Calvin was not convinced by Tabos' explanation, but instead frowned and confirmed to the former.

Tabers could do nothing about it and could only inform Calvin of the speculations of Bishop Klein, the chief craftsman:

"It is indeed dense and abnormal. Bishop Klein means that there may be some kind of interference source in our fleet, which is continuously releasing signals that can attract this part of energy.

It is recommended to avoid all highly psychic activities as much as possible during this period to avoid unexpected effects. "

"Received, check! I'm waiting for your results!"

Calvin hung up the communication and said goodbye to the imperial guards, and then stepped onto the elevator leading to the testing room in the middle area.

There are not many people in the test area at this time. Mechanical Priest Stovan, who has completely defected to Mars and joined the Order of Omen, is here to take charge of the work in place of Constantine.

When Calvin and members of the Honor Guard appeared at the door of the laboratory, this technical expert who was born on Mars but wore the robe of the Order of Omen, rarely showed his less pious faith by praying to the Emperor.

"The Emperor's blessing! You are finally here! The transformation of the psychic components of the Bell of Erebus has been completed and is waiting for you to activate it!"

"Activate?" Calvin just wanted to agree to Stovan's request, but in the blink of an eye he remembered Tabos' warning.

"Let's change the time." Calvin looked at the brand-new Erebus Bell in the experimental hall and said to Stovan beside him.

The Bell of Erebus, which is composed entirely of psychic metal parts, has discarded many redundant parts to make up for its performance. Its shape is also hugely different from Calvin's previous impression.

What concerned Calvin the most was its overall shape. The entire huge device became closer to a sphere after losing its edges and corners.

And underneath this device, there is an extra chain with an unknown purpose.

"I'm afraid not..." Stowan unexpectedly rejected Calvin's "proposal", even though he knew what the person in front of him meant to the Order of Bad Omen.

The original body turned his head after hearing Stowan's rejection. After recalling the details of the signal source mentioned by Tabers before, his eyes towards Stowan quickly changed from surprise to Condescending suspicion and scrutiny.

"I'll give you a chance to explain, monk. You should cherish it."

The tone of the original body was not high-pitched, but whether it was Stovan himself who faced the original body or the honor guard behind Calvin, they all knew the obvious suspicion and murderous intention.

Navigating subspace itself is a dangerous thing, and at this juncture Calvin is even more responsible for the safety of the entire fleet.

In fact, they had already taken action without the original order. In the silence of Stovan's delay in responding, the psychic sword at Golden's waist had been slowly pulled out amidst the sound of metal friction. .

"We may not have another chance." Stovan raised his head in the suffocating silence and explained to Calvin.

"The psychic metal extracted from the scrap ship is only enough for this reorganization, and according to our observations, the activity of these metals is irreversible like decay. If I miss this activation, then I don't know if I can find other similar ones. substance."

"Why do you say it now?" Calvin asked.

"Because the final parts have just been formed, and the proportion of metal consumed by these parts is far more than we expected."

"Which part?" Calvin asked.

"Here, that's the chain."

Update, there is another chapter, but it may be later.
