Forty thousand years later, he became a god in the warp

Chapter 501: Power of Faith Umbilical Cord Substitute

"The B-team raiders La Rua (Tau language - team) have arrived at the church. Xia Si Tung has completed his report."

"Enter the church with the other six teams and kill the enemy bishop."

The captain of the smallest unit, the Fire Blade, finished talking to the command center and then gestured to the soldiers to clear the way.

The Titanium warriors rushed into the church, and they themselves were somewhat confused about the situation of this group of believers.

The other party, who should have been praying, was actually ready for battle at this moment.

This meant that their surprise attack did not yield the extremely high returns they had planned, and the casualty rate was 20% higher than planned.

However, when they entered the church, they found that the casualty ratio seemed to have returned to the planned level.

Just because in the huge lobby of the church, hundreds of corpses were lying on the ground in great silence.

Their states of death were basically the same, and their cut bodies were all so smooth and flat.

The shocked Captain Fire Blade quickly sent battlefield images to the commanders outside. Although the other party was equally shocked, they still let them continue with their mission.

So, the Titanium soldiers who arrived stepped on the blood and corpses along the way and advanced into the church unhindered.

As the battle progressed step by step, Captain Fire Blade's horror became more and more obvious.

He himself had been fighting against these weird believers of the Imperial sect for four months, so he naturally knew how terrifying these fanatical religious believers were.

Under the guidance of the Greater Good, the Tau warriors were already fearless of death, but in front of the enemy, their persistence in their beliefs was as short-lived as a child's love for vegetables.

Moreover, especially with the powerful physique of those deformed creatures, once the opponent gets close to them, even the xv8 series combat suits cannot withstand the damage of their sharp claws.

Now, the entire corridor was filled with corpses, and sticky blood was sprayed all over the paintings on the walls.

This scene seemed like some kind of religious massacre, conveying a morbid yet rational sense of cycle in his eyes.

"Operation Department..Did you see it?"

"Yes, we have mobilized two XV89 fighters for support. Please be careful."

Two tall battle suits soon arrived, and the Fire Clan warriors continued to advance in coordination with their infantry tanks.

With the protection of the large combat suit, Captain Fire Blade felt at least a little comforted, and the sticky blood dripping on his body no longer worried him.

"Watch out for the side room!"

As soon as everyone arrived at the central hall, a large number of mixed-blood mutants rushed out from the side room.

Those creatures that looked more like beasts crawled out of the dungeons, trampling the corpses of their own kind and swarming in under the fire of pulse rifles.

However, under the torrent of pulse rapid-fire cannons and melta blasters from the xv89 battlesuit, every one of them was reduced to debris.

Nearly sixty Fire Clan warriors advanced in an orderly manner, and soon they discovered an unusual figure from the staff lounge behind the central hall.

In the lounge with hundreds of slate beds, a figure taller than the xv89 combat suit was stirring up a bloody storm among the aliens.

The opponent swung his sword and saber vigorously, and the terrifying alien creatures were torn into pieces in the flash of swords and sabers.

Upon seeing this, Captain Fire Blade immediately searched for the target of this trip, and saw that on the high platform, the alien bishop holding the preaching scepter was accumulating energy.

A visible aura was rippling around the other party, and as the scepter was suddenly sent out, violent thunder immediately exploded above the blood-red creature nearby.

However, dazzling arcs of electricity suddenly appeared on the Space Marine. Although the number was less than half of that released by the Bishop, it still made the opponent's armor pop.

But seeing dozens of melted electric marks on the Space Marine's armor, Captain Huo immediately ordered his men to kill the aliens.

Each team sought cover and opened fire quickly, while the xv89 combat suit transformed itself into a mobile turret and bombarded the most dangerous bishop on the platform.

Lin Heng, who was a cunning person, cursed loudly. He didn't know how to deal with the umbilical cord substitute that could return the harm.

Now this group of Tau warriors who didn't understand the situation were bombarding him, which was completely counterproductive for him.

Even if using psychic energy would accelerate it to maturity, he had to escape from this annoying situation now.

The 'explosive shock' directly shattered the floor, knocking the besieging mutants dozens of meters away, and the flying earth and rocks also affected the Titanium soldiers.

The tall figure rose from the ground, and in the blink of an eye, it broke through the eaves of the platform and rushed in front of the bishop.

Lin Heng stretched out his hands and clenched them tightly, but the released psychic power suddenly disappeared after being absorbed by the substitute.

And from under the robes of the alien bishop, a short, chicken-thief subspecies poked its head out.

In the perception of the subspace, the opponent is like a small black hole, which cannot be detected by psychic energy and can further eliminate the impact.

"Negative psychic energy..."

"Hahaha, damn tin can, don't even think about disturbing the deep sleep of the God-Emperor's faithful followers. Kneel down and surrender, and I will spare your life."

The bishop smiled and hugged the slightly humanoid umbilical cord substitute, and stabbed the dagger in his hand into the neck to make the blood flow.

“I didn’t expect that the holy relic would be connected to you. This is the first time I’ve seen such a manifestation.

The chances of causing damage are probably less than half, but cutting off the head will definitely cause you serious trauma.

Surrender, and I will grant you a great miracle, allowing you to feel the God-Emperor's gift and hear the God-Emperor's gospel."

"SAAAAKAAA!"

The short subspecies stood on the bishop's shoulder and screamed hoarsely, pointing its sharp claws forward as if threatening the other party.

But Lin Heng didn't take the threat. Besides, he was a guy who was meeting the Emperor. What good news did he need? What's more, it was clearly the hissing of the Hive Shadow.

"Oh!"

Lin Heng stepped on the ground and stabbed forward. Without even giving the other party a chance to make a move, he beheaded them all with one sword.

The death of the negative psychic subspecies allowed Lin Heng to use his psychic energy to repair his split neck. Half of his neck had been completely separated from his body.

The bishop's fall loosened the umbilical cord substitute, but the head, which should have fallen to the ground, still remained connected due to the flow of blood in the neck.

That thing was still closely connected to Lin Heng's body, and with the release of spiritual energy several times, that guy's face became more and more similar to his own.

[Energy: +4000]

"Tsk..."

There was no time to study the opponent, the 'space pocket' directly wrapped and swallowed him. The battle below basically disappeared, it was time to stay away from this area.

"Don't move! I am the first..."

Before Captain Huo Ren finished speaking, Lin Heng walked into the "Star Gate" without looking back and disappeared without a trace.

The other party could only report to the headquarters again and then began to drive away the alien believers on the periphery.

Back to Lin Heng's side, the door opened and the sound of bullets flying around continued.

The nuns on the tower were still firing tenaciously, but their numbers were too small to withstand the Tau force.

Moreover, the enemy also had self-propelled artillery like the Hammerhead Shark, and with one "bang", half of the spire of the tower was blown to pieces.

The gunfire inside stopped immediately, not surprisingly, as the nuns had shown commendable loyalty to the empire.

The whispers in his ears became more and more obvious. Lin Heng prepared to leave here to avoid the limelight and see what was going on with the umbilical cord substitute.

However, just as he was about to open the door, psychic light once again burst out from the ruins of the tower.

He felt very clearly the feeling of life resurrecting, which was the power of faith released by the saint's rosary earlier.

And I also had a distinct feeling in my body, that sense of reincarnation of being on the verge of death and resurrection, that sense of the cycle of life and death.

Gunfire rang out again, and Erza, with her upper body exposed, stepped out of the ruins.

However, although the broken armor was covered with blood, there was no scar on the wheat-colored skin.

And, the holy relic hanging around the neck was now emitting a glow that was invisible to the naked eye, constantly warming the other person's body.

The emergence of faith has activated the holy relics, which are objects believed in by tens of thousands of believers and are continuously producing miracles.

In a place where the Gospel of the Emperor and the blessings of other saints can lead to an ongoing shift in salvation and damnation, people yearn for spiritual protection for themselves.

Over a long period of time and a vast space, the power of faith rose in the hearts of millions of planets and countless generations of imperial citizens.

Many ants can kill an elephant, and even the most scarce spiritual energy can burst into an astonishing soul wave with everyone working together.

A miracle has been born quietly. The emergence of the Great Rift has made the infection of the subspace more extensive, and people's communication with the subspace has become more frequent.

The invisible hand of the Emperor of Gods can reach further, and the so-called holy relics, holy places, or some kind of miracles may become more and more.

Thinking of this, Lin Heng suddenly wondered whether the Titanium Clan could also give birth to their own gods.

Although they don't know much about the subspace, as long as they try to go deeper into it and want to understand it, they will be able to connect with it.

Perhaps, a certain shadow is quietly brewing at this moment, just waiting for this group of rapidly evolving creatures to give birth to it.

"Old man Huang, do you want to stand or sit all the time?"

Lin Heng made a move, and the refined golden drill shot out. The xv15 combat suits didn't even have time to react before their cover was pierced through.

Sister Elsa's eyes were as bright as torches, and she felt the even stronger power of faith. The gospel of the Emperor of God was not only ringing in her ears.

After the tall Astartes appeared, she felt that the heaven and earth were echoing with mighty holy sounds.

"The Divine Emperor..."

Elsa knelt on one knee, not because she was weak, but out of heartfelt respect.

"We have to retreat. More fighters are coming from the sides." Lin Heng said and grabbed Elsa.

As the spiritual energy flowed, the corpses around him broke apart and decomposed into a mass of pulp. The energy of life moved like a dragon and snake, constructing layers of teleportation arrays.

The light flashed and disappeared, and the only traces of the battle were the bullet holes left on the wall and the still warm shell casings.

The Titanium team that arrived later was at a loss as to what to do and had no idea what strange events had taken place here.

There was no battle nun mentioned in the intercom, and none of their own soldiers were seen either.

This kind of supernatural phenomenon is not uncommon. When the Tau people landed on the Cardinal World, they frequently saw the hot light curtain that swallowed everything.

Those items called holy relics are of all kinds, and the various unpredictable abilities they release are also different.

The news was reported to the command center layer by layer. Three hours later, the commander of the detachment that dealt with the Cologne Cathedral also stated that no trace of human relics was found.

However, the other party mentioned the situation of the Space Marines, and it is possible that they took him away.

It is rare to see an Astartes in the book world, and he is a powerful psychic. This situation is bound to attract the attention of the top leaders.

At this moment, Lin Heng, who caused the riot, has retreated to the chapel more than ten kilometers away, which is where he got the first rosary relic.

Sister Elsa did not thank the other party for their help when she landed, because she saw the ceremony. When the formation was completed, the bodies of the other nuns also turned into dust, replenishing energy for her own transfer.

At this moment, she was deeply conflicted and couldn't express her gratitude or doubt.

Lin Heng saw the hesitation on her face. After all, her emotions were causing waves in the subspace.

"Give me the information about the holy relic, and you return to the control zone to adjust the status."

Elsa wanted to refute, but when she looked at her own power armor, it was in a mess. Not to mention the combat uniforms on the team, even ordinary Fire Caste warriors would find it difficult to resist.

"Sometimes, retreating when faced with difficulties is also for the purpose of making a comeback. Rushing in blindly is definitely a sign of being a loyal believer, but it is definitely not what the Emperor wants."

Lin Heng's words helped Elsa to get over her inner twists and turns. She took off the saint's rosary from her chest and wanted to hand it to the other party.

However, feeling that the power of faith in the rosary was depleted and needed to be accumulated again, Lin Hengke had no time to pray to Old Man Huang.

"You can wear it. This is the relic you recovered. It at least proves that you have completed one of the tasks."

Elsa nodded silently, then handed the Thinker datapad to the other party.

Lin Heng took the data tablet with the cracked screen and immediately turned around and left. Elsa looked back at the statue, knelt down, and began to pray with the rosary tightly in her hand.

After going out, Taraxin, who had been hiding for a long time, appeared again and began to marvel at the wonders of the holy relics.

"What is that thing? Is it some kind of clone of you?"

What Tara was asking about was the Shroud of Turin relic that was connected to him in the Cologne Cathedral.

Lin Heng himself didn't know much about that thing, so he looked for the answer he wanted on the data board.

However, apart from the graphic and text introductions of dozens of holy relics, there is no description of their special abilities.

Lin Heng had no choice but to summon the thing from his "space pocket", and after performing divination, he gained some understanding.

This thing was indeed connected to him, and he thought it was the Bishop's doing, but it was actually a new form automatically triggered by the relic.

After several tests, it was found that not only the opponent's injury could cause the damage to be transferred, but also part of the damage suffered by one's own body could be transferred.

I can only say that the time and place when I activated the holy relic were not appropriate, and the cunning bishop took advantage of it.

Looking at the other self that was born from the gradual release of spiritual energy, Lin Heng suddenly had an epiphany. He decomposed a ball of soul and transferred it to the substitute through the umbilical cord.

Then, a gleam of light flashed in the other Lin Heng's empty eyes. The two smiled at each other, patted each other on the shoulder and said:

"Thanks a lot."

Trazyn stood aside with a sharp gaze, looking at the slightly thin stand-in with some surprise.

This thing is not like a psychic stand or an illusion, it is a real flesh and blood body.

"First of all, you have to find me a holy relic."
