Chapter 55 - Tyrant

After leaving the prayer room, Marcus did not go to the bridge to meet up with Titus and the others, but instead went to Magos Galio's location.

"Magos Galio, still well, I see."

As soon as Marcus stepped into Magos Galio's cabin, he saw Leuze standing to the side. Clearly, he had already met with Captain Acheran and learned about his upcoming mission.

Leuze was currently in front of a complex instrument, examining a string of intricate detection data. Marcus clearly saw that it was the various body data he had previously had tested on the ship.

"Oh, Lieutenant Marcus Aurelius, you're here."

Before Magos Galio could speak, Leuze, who was standing nearby, spoke first. "I'm currently reviewing your previous body test results. To be honest, I'm very interested in your body..."

Marcus immediately interrupted Leuze's clearly ambiguous words. "Magos Leuze, I object to such an invasion of privacy."

At this moment, Magos Galio, who was beside them, spoke: "No need to worry, Magos Leuze only briefly checked your body data. More private information has been sealed under Captain Acheran's orders."

Hearing this, Marcus nodded, indicating his understanding.

"I am about to depart for Demerium. There, I will close all paths to destruction." Leuze suddenly said.

Although his words sounded somewhat enigmatic, Marcus naturally knew what he was referring to. It was nothing more than using the Aurora Facility to destroy the Tyranid in the galaxy, and even close the Warp Rift in the galaxy. The Aurora Facility has many functions, and destroying aliens other than humans is just one of them. The main reason Gene-Seed Primarch Roboute Guilliman personally ordered it was that the Aurora Facility could close Warp Rifts.

Thinking of this, Marcus couldn't help but exclaim. "Necron technology, truly astonishing."

Marcus looked at Leuze in front of him, and thinking that this guy would later be killed by Imurah, he reminded him: "Be careful of those Chaos traitors. Their cunning can sometimes even deceive followers of the Omnissiah."

"Don't worry, under the guidance of the Omnissiah, those Chaos traitors will be forever expelled from the real universe." Leuze didn't seem to care about Marcus's reminder.

Seeing this, Marcus shrugged. He had long expected this; people from the Adeptus Mechanicus were not so easily convinced. However, Marcus was indifferent to this; after all, their lives or deaths would ultimately not affect his retrieval of the psychic disaster energy source.

At the same time, an Ultramarines soldier walked in, and after exchanging a few words with Leuze, took him out of the cabin.

"It seems this guy is going to Demerium." Marcus thought to himself. "This also meant that the time for him to retrieve the psychic disaster energy source fragments and leave this messed-up Warhammer Universe was getting closer and closer."

Turning to Magos Galio, Marcus immediately said: "Magos Galio, how is the weapon I gave you earlier coming along?"

What Marcus was referring to, of course, was the Plasma Cutter from the Death Space Universe.

As soon as he mentioned this, Magos Galio immediately opened the screen beside him. It showed the Plasma Cutter, already disassembled into parts.

"Interesting design, and the technical content isn't high, quite similar to the Lasgun used by the Astra Militarum, except it can't be recharged by charging or sun exposure like a Lasgun." Galio said casually. "Overall, it's a good secondary weapon, and many worlds in the Imperium have the ability to produce it independently."

Speaking of this, even Galio, whose body had undergone many mechanical modifications, was somewhat excited. If the mass production of Plasma Cutters could truly be achieved and armed to Astra Militarum troops, it would definitely be a great achievement. This would be of great help to his future promotion to Great Sage of the Adeptus Mechanicus.

However, the Adeptus Mechanicus itself has complex internal factions. Even though Roboute Guilliman has returned and implemented reforms across the Imperium, promoting a new weapon is still fraught with difficulties.

"That's good. I hope this weapon, in the future, can be in the hands of soldiers, unleashing wrath upon aliens and heretics in the name of the Emperor." Marcus then said.

"Alright, tell me, what weapon or equipment do you want from me now?" Magos Galio was not a fool; he naturally knew the purpose of Marcus's visit this time.

Although before this, Marcus and Galio had agreed to exchange the Plasma Cutter for three pieces of weapon equipment. Marcus had chosen the Kasrkin carapace armor, a hellgun, and a chainsword from Galio. But both knew that the transaction between them was actually not equal. The value of the Plasma Cutter far outweighed those few pieces of weapon equipment.

Moreover, Galio was also willing to foster a good relationship with Marcus, who was gradually demonstrating powerful strength. Therefore, Galio didn't mind Marcus getting some new weapons and equipment from him.

"Hehe."

Marcus chuckled, stating his purpose. "I hope you can appease the machine spirit of these weapons and equipment, and also provide some melta bombs." Saying that, Marcus took out the weapons and equipment he had on him: a hellgun, a plasma pistol, and a meltagun, as well as a chainsword.

The machine spirit is an objectively existing thing in the Warhammer Universe, and on the battlefield, the machine spirit's happiness or displeasure can even, to some extent, influence the outcome of the battle. If the machine spirit is greatly pleased, even if there is no ammunition in the weapon, the firearm can still continue to fire. And if the machine spirit is displeased, who knows when the weapon in hand might jam or even self-destruct.

After listening to Marcus's request, Galio nodded, then used his mechanical tentacles to pick up the weapons in front of him. "Alright, the appeasement ritual will take some time. Follow the servo-skull to the previous room to get some melta bombs."

Marcus smiled: "Then I'll trouble you, Magos Galio."

With that, Marcus followed the servo-skull beside him and left the cabin.

On the way, Marcus began to consider how to face the powerful Tyranid Hive Tyrant later. Although he had the divine ability of Energy Feedback, Marcus could greatly weaken the Tyranid Hive Tyrant's formidable psychic power.

However, as the pinnacle creation of the Hive Mind, the Tyranid Hive Tyrant's physical strength and vitality were still terrifyingly immense. From the game, the fact that he could survive the collapse of a hundred-meter statue showed this point.

Moreover, in this decapitation mission, Marcus would definitely be accompanied by the Talasa Combat Squad, so he couldn't use the bestiary to summon Tyranid warbeasts to assist in the battle.

However, Marcus looked at the shoulder cannon from the Predator Universe quietly lying in his system warehouse, and he wasn't too worried. If worst came to worst, Marcus could still use this extremely powerful weapon. According to its performance in the Predator movies, the shoulder cannon, when its power is adjusted, can collapse a building. According to the background setting, the shoulder cannon can even cause some damage to a Predator's spaceship.

Dealing with a heavily wounded Tyranid Hive Tyrant would naturally be more than enough.

The only problem was how to explain the origin of the shoulder cannon afterward.
