Chapter 79: The Second Game Program
Lucan closed his eyes, and the System interface once again appeared in his mind.
Lucan was torn over which game to load for his second program.
At this moment, he hated that he had so few games installed on his computer.
However, with the unlocking of the second game slot, the potential states that many games would manifest were no...
Chapter 78: The Inquisition Branch Office
Lucan's psychic senses heard their whispers.
The representatives from the other Rogue Trader Dynasties were saying Lucan had struck it lucky, discovering lost technology.
It's true that peers can't stand to see each other do well.
But at the same time, they were also saying that in the future, they should provoke him less and...
Chapter 77: New Abilities and the Ceremony
Verre departed. Pavian then approached, appearing incredibly eager; even his bionic eyes were flashing along with his excited mood.
"Pavian, calm down. If you have something to say, just say it!"
"My Lord! It's done! It's done! A total of three Yamato-class Battlecruisers on Agalos have all completed construction!"
Pavian wa...
Chapter 76: Unifying Agathos
With the hive bottom now under control, Agathos had pretty much completely returned to Lucan's hands.
Lucan, sitting at his desk, watched Kerrigan running all around the room. Kerrigan seemed to possess an inexhaustible supply of energy.
The only thing that worried Lucan was that Kerrigan ate a tremendous amount; her consumption alone was equiva...
Chapter 75: Heart of the Swarm
Lucan looked at the larva. Through the transparent membrane, he could even see something squirming inside.
"My power is called the Heart of the Swarm!" Kerrigan said.
"Can these larvae hatch?"
"Of course!"
Then, Kerrigan closed her eyes. The life within the cocoon began to squirm rapidly, and in a short while, a Drone, its size c...
Chapter 74: I! Am the Swarm!
Without a unified command and immersed in the grief of losing their connection to the Hive Mind, the Genestealers became easy prey.
The Genestealer cultists within the entire Patriarch's hall were swiftly slaughtered.
And as the Genestealer Patriarch's hive network was devoured, a new power seemed to appear within Lucan's body.
Lucan disc...
Chapter 73: Huh? Who's the Real Great Devourer?!
The most brutal battle began. The Aberrant Hypermorphs formed a wall of flesh and charged forward, their massive bodies even covered with some alloy plates as armor to resist damage.
More Genestealers launched suicidal charges.
It often took the concentrated fire of dozens of soldiers to kill a single Aberrant Hypermorph. Eve...
Chapter 71: The Sea of Widow Mines
Lucan's soldiers also checked their weapons. Then, the soldiers began planting explosives in the location designated by the High Priest.
Lucan closed his eyes and released his psychic senses. Sure enough, not far beneath the metal plates at their feet, he could sense a large number of life signs.
"Everyone, do not get bogged down in fighti...
Chapter 70: The Hunt Begins
The troops began to assemble in secret. Apart from the participants and a few genetically-screened individuals who were in the know, almost no one knew that Lucan had assembled such a force.
Lucan wasn't sure if there were still any Genestealer moles in his Dynasty; he couldn't risk any information leaking out.
The 50 most elite warriors were all...
Chapter 69: The Mark of Death
However, facing Lucan's questioning, the High Priest showed no displeasure. Several cultists came forward, carrying boxes.
And when the boxes were opened, the heads of more than a dozen Purestrain Genestealers were displayed within.
These were the trophies of the Death Cult, and proof of their strength.
"Rogue Trader, we have existed sin...
Chapter 68: Cooperation with the Death Cult
Not far from the entrance to the hive bottom, several Death Cultists appeared from nowhere, silently watching Lucan from a distance.
The surrounding soldiers noticed these individuals and immediately surrounded them.
"Drop your weapons!"
But with the Raiders' guns pointed at them, they remained completely unmoved, their han...
Chapter 67: The Suicide Squad
"Bro… we're gonna make it back alive, right?" Harper asked Barry, who was walking beside him.
Harper and Barry had voluntarily joined the squad. Both were originally refugees who had fled the underhive into the uphive.
Just as they were despairingly watching their children about to die from illness, it was the Rogue Trader's Medics who had sa...
Chapter 66: Assaulting the Hive Bottom
The two Word Bearers were thus submerged by thousands upon thousands of Genestealers.
If not for the remaining traces of battle, an unwitting observer would have no idea what had happened here.
This group of Genestealers acted as a single entity; their efficiency was shockingly high, their will to fight absolute.
"What terrifyin...
Chapter 65: The Death Cult
Five days had passed since the offensive into the underhive began.
"My Lord! As of now, the reconquest of the underhive is 65 percent complete!
With that weaponry and equipment of yours, our casualties have been very low. Many workers have already returned to the factories and restarted production!
However, the only worrying aspect is the l...
Chapter 64: Widow Mines and Siege Tanks
"By the God-Emperor, please, don't kill me! Let us go!" A mother held her child tightly behind her. The dilapidated door to her home had been smashed open.
Her husband already lay by the door, his body half-severed by a chainsword.
Several Chaos cultists, their bodies already beginning to mutate, had broken into her home.
Looki...
Chapter 63: Secret Arrests
Inside the barracks of the Agathos Planetary Defence Force's 1st Regiment, 3rd Battalion, several PDF soldiers were gathered together.
"Lieutenant Albert, if this weaponry and equipment could be smuggled back to the church, it would surely be a great help for the coming of the Day of Ascension!"
Hearing this, Albert also caressed the CMC combat su...
Chapter 62: The Infiltrated Uphive
Lucan was changing into his combat suit. He intended to head to the underhive along with his troops; right now, his combat prowess against single targets was the strongest among all his men.
If mortal armies on a conventional battlefield could still rely on massive heavy firepower and numerical superiority to fight Astartes, then the complex terr...
Chapter 61: Consolidating Resources
Hearing Lucan's words, the one hundred refugees below the stage couldn't believe their eyes.
To be able to live in the uphive… something they had never even dared to dream of was actually happening to them.
And Bishop Holter, at the side, slowly descended from the stage.
He walked towards a refugee who was kneeling on the ground....
Chapter 60: Favorable Policies
Lucan, accompanied by Bishop Holter, arrived at Pilgrim's Square.
The toppled holy icon of the Emperor had been re-erected.
However, the icon still appeared damaged, and the bloodstains upon it had not yet been completely cleaned.
In such a short time, it was impossible to fully repair the Emperor's statue.
However, the large num...
Chapter 59: You Want to Rob Me? But I'm a Living Saint!
The industrial zone was almost entirely completed.
Four hundred-plus combat suits meant nothing to the current Lucan.
Of course, the combat suits sold to Caligos were, at most, made of plasteel.
Leading Caligos to the warehouse where that batch of combat suits was stored, he saw the new suits neatly arrayed.
...
Chapter 58: The Grain is in Position
The shattered remains of the Sanctus's corpse still lay on the ground. At this moment, every corner of the entire palace was filled with soldiers to prevent any further incidents.
In the wrecked reception room, almost all of Lucan's key personnel had gathered.
"My Lord, please give me my due punishment and strip me of my position as Gove...
Chapter 57: I Won't Sit on the Golden Toilet, but I'll Be a Living Saint
"So does that mean I don't have to sit on the Golden Toilet?"
"You do not."
Hearing the definitive answer, Lucan also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Emperor, if you could give me more resources, I could develop even faster! I'm currently lacking people, money, food – I'm lacking everything. Could...
Chapter 56: The Cold Sun
After arranging matters, Lucan returned to his room in the palace.
Two days of non-stop administrative work had left his head spinning. Truly sitting in the position of a ruler in Warhammer, Lucan keenly felt the hardship involved.
"No wonder those High Lords all die of exhaustion. A single planet has this many problems, to say nothing of the innume...
Chapter 55: The Genestealer Patriarch
Valentin stared blankly at the monster before him.
He could hear Vienna murmuring to herself; the Genestealer Patriarch was communicating with Vienna through the Tyranid psychic network.
"Are you hungry, my Lord? I will bring the people up at once."
At the Patriarch's command, one Genestealer cultist after another walked forward....
Chapter 54: The Harmonious Hive Bottom
Without even seeing it for himself, Lucan had already determined that his planet was definitely infested with a Genestealer Cult.
The faith of the God-Emperor could not change the dregs of the hive bottom, but a Genestealer Cult could turn those violent thugs into a loving, close-knit family.
These Genestealer Cults of the Tyranid race...
Chapter 53: Battle Sister, Genestealer Cult
Boarding the hovercar arranged by Rebecca, Lucan headed towards the cathedral in the Spire District.
Looking out from within the vehicle, although the victory had lifted some of the gloom from people's faces, many had also lost family members in the battle.
Those who survived temporarily suppressed the pain in their hearts; they h...
Chapter 52: Maxed Out Management Skill
After ordering Eunice to maintain absolute secrecy and having Damon secure the star chart, Lucan exited his personal quarters.
As Lucan emerged, Rebecca, who had been waiting from a distance, immediately came forward.
"My Lord, do you perhaps need to rest first? The Spire District should be relatively safe for the time being. Your warr...
Chapter 51: The Star Chart
Walking to the stasis field, Lucan saw a palm-sized mechanical device. Judging by its overall manufacturing style, it was definitely not something made by the current Imperium of Man.
When Lucan deactivated the stasis field and took out the object inside, it immediately reacted.
A massive holographic projection instantly enveloped the entire treas...
Chapter 50: Lucan the Living Saint
But having already dealt with one, how could Lucan just watch these two huge threats run off?
If they truly escaped back into the underhive, finding them again would be incredibly troublesome.
"Stop them! Don't let them escape!"
However, when several Astartes decided to disengage and retreat, stopping them was easier said than done....
Chapter 49: Rogue Trader Pummels Space Marine!
"Draw chainswords! Inject stimms! For the Dynasty, for the God-Emperor! Charge!"
Seeing that these Astartes were not invincible after all, everyone found their courage once more.
Stimms placed a great strain on the psyche; Damon had cautioned everyone to use them sparingly, only when absolutely necessary. Now was clearly such a...
