Listening to his overlord kicking the coffin door incessantly, he had never felt so good. This was the first happy thing that had happened to him since he woke up.

"5096, 5097, 5098, 5099, 6000!"

Oberon silently counted in his mind how many kicks he would have to give his overlord before he could be defeated.

He had counted to 6000 before he heard a loud thud as the coffin door was opened.

It was obvious that he had kicked the door open, and this guy had kicked it more than 6000 times, which was more than he had expected.

This proves that their chief technician needs to get some serious repairs done.

Soon, the figure of the overlord "Silent Architect" Nemontet appeared at the entrance of the hall.

His once slender and elegant metal body now looked somewhat disheveled, with one mechanical leg moving noticeably less smoothly and new scratches on the joint.

The eerie light in Nemontet's eyes flickered violently, indicating that its internal processor was under extremely high load.

He strode up to Oberon, knelt on one knee, and as he bowed his head, one could even hear the faint hum of his internal cooling system working hard.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty!" Nemontet's synthesized voice was filled with obvious noise and a clear sense of grievance.

"Your faithful servant Nemontet answers your call. Thank you... for making me realize... the potential for improvement in the user experience of coffin structures."

Emperor Auberon looked down at him, remained silent for a few seconds, and refused to let his good subordinate stand up, making him kneel for a while longer until the man was already unsteady on his knees before finally speaking.

"Get up, Nemontet. It seems that firsthand experience is indeed more intuitive than any data report. Hopefully, this 'deep understanding' will inspire your future work on 'silent architecture'."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Nemontet's somewhat disheveled body.

"As for now, we have more pressing issues to deal with than discussing the quality of the coffin door. What about Serafis?"

I hope his recovery process...isn't as 'educational' as yours.

The words had barely left his lips when heavy, orderly, and powerful footsteps came from another direction.

Then came Serafis, the "Iron Monument Commander," who was clad in heavy armor and much more imposing than Nemontet. He was leading a squad of the French royal guard.

He could have come over much earlier, since his coffin door could still be opened; it's just that his own family was teasing his colleagues.

Serafis wisely refrained from teleporting directly, which demonstrates his social skills and tact.

Chapter 188 Demon armies were dispatched to join the battle.

"Good, you two are both here. I can rest assured now." Oberen was pleased that his military overlord hadn't come in to disturb them immediately, but instead entered after they had finished talking.

“Nemontet now goes to activate our Tomb Fleet. You should have already sensed that the galaxy seems to be changing. The changes in the real universe must be stopped.”

"Nemontet, go activate our tomb fleet, just in case."

"Seraphis, you too, hurry up and repair your body, then activate our Black Stone Obelisk structure to suppress the arrival of the warp."

The real universe is the territory of our infinite empire, and we will not tolerate any invasion from the warp.

What just happened was just a minor incident. Now they need to deal with the most troublesome issue first: curbing the changes in space.

As beings who have reached the pinnacle of technology in the real universe, they regard the entire galaxy as their territory, and it is naturally unacceptable for their territory to be invaded.

The intelligence Zhou Qing received indicated that the world of Istram 6 had already been invaded by the undead before the warp demons launched their attack.

"War Master, on the world of Istram 6, we have discovered a large number of space necromancer obelisk structures. They suddenly appeared and destroyed several of our city facilities."

"The local planetary defense forces have not yet launched an attack on these space undead, and their black stone structures have effectively deterred a portion of the warp's arrival. Is that your opinion?"

A member of the Imperial Guard who came to report respectfully asked Zhou Qing for his opinion, and Zhou Qing then conducted a round of deductions.

"Ignore them. Don't worry about the space necromancers' actions. Dealing with the space demons is more important. The space necromancers won't interfere with us."

With the advantage of his super brain, Zhou Qing quickly deduced various possibilities and soon determined the situation of the space necromantic dynasty.

Fighting the Necromancer Dynasty at this time is pointless; it's better to unite with them and deal with the biggest problem at hand first.

Under Zhou Qing's instructions, humanity did not attack the Necromancers, which allowed the Necromancers' tomb fleet to successfully rise. Their army appeared on the planet's surface, protecting the Black Stone Obelisk structure.

"Your Majesty, we have discovered a large number of bipedal humanoid beings on the surface of the planet. They possess brilliant technology and civilization and are transforming the entire planet, making it more habitable."

"At the same time, they have a huge army. My current advice is not to engage in conflict with them, but to deal with the main enemy first."

Humanity's military strength on Istram 6 was formidable enough, with a massive planetary defense force, plus a large number of Space Marines and the Custodian Army stationed there. But even the Necromancers had to think twice before acting.

After hearing this, Oberon pondered for a moment before speaking.

“Seraphis, do as you say, my general. Our situation is not looking good right now.”

Humans waging war, especially war between humans with immense military power, offers no benefit whatsoever to this newly awakened little undead dynasty.

As the patriarch of this small necromancer dynasty, Oberon made his wisest choice.

The space necromancers and humans tacitly refrained from attacking each other, instead focusing their gazes on the cosmic void, on the ever-expanding subspace of the universe.

As time went on, the warp covered the entire sector, and demons began to appear!

The Void Shield energy shields on each planet quickly activated, beginning to envelop the planet's surface and resist the erosion of warp energy, in order to maintain sufficient combat power for the planetary garrison.

However, within minutes of its activation, the original Void Shields in 107 out of the 108 worlds became ineffective...

The planet generator's super shield became the only thing that could withstand the warp energy erosion, but against such a terrifying warp energy attack, the super shield's protection clearly wouldn't last long.

Even the most brilliant scientist in human history, who had never frowned before, was starting to feel a headache coming on at the sight before him.

But it doesn't matter. The first wave of attacks when the warp arrives is the most terrifying. As long as we can survive the first wave, we can still fight the rest of the war.

Zhou Qing witnessed this scene in the void of space—

Even the most brilliant scientist in human history, who had never frowned before, was starting to feel a headache coming on at the sight before him.

The 108 worlds of the Misty Starfield did take precautions against the emergence of subspace, such as using numerous reality stabilizers and structural stabilizers, but it is clear that these measures were ineffective this time.

This means that there is a problem with the planet's surface defenses. Those clowns are indeed masters of infiltration, and they have successfully destroyed these critical facilities.

Once this incident is over, the defense efforts on each planet must be doubled again.

Zhou Qing murmured as he watched the changes in the void of the universe, while the five evil gods of the subspace, who were engaged in a chaotic battle, stopped their fighting.

Tzeentch was the first to discover that a region in the void of space had become a warp territory.

Moreover, that region happened to be the most fertile and vibrant part of the human race, and Tzeentch, witnessing this scene in the 108th world, did the same thing he did during the Siege of Terra.

The demon army that was originally fighting in the warp did not continue to fight in the warp. Instead, it was sent into the real universe by Tzeentch like a tide.

Tzeentch's unusual behavior naturally attracted the attention of the other three evil gods, who also noticed the change in the cosmic entity in the next second.

The 08th World of the Hazy Starfield, the latest top-level world cluster of the human empire, was exposed to their view at this moment. It contained a large number of psionicists, as well as a large number of human towns and populations.

For them, it is not only the best food, but also the best means to attack humanity!

Without any hesitation, the demon armies of the other three evil gods, upon witnessing this scene, also urgently dispatched a large number of their demons to enter.

A war, much like the Siege of Terra, began with mutual consensus reached, as the armies of the four great demons of the warp simultaneously appeared in the real universe.

The Emperor was naturally aware of the actions of the four evil gods in the warp, and so after seeing this, he did not hesitate to send out his Great E Demon Army.

He even sent out a Primarch who had been blocking the entrance in the Warp.

The Raven King, currently the most powerful being in the Primarch, was dispatched by the Emperor to command the Cursed Legion.

Chapter 189 They were fighting so well, why did you have to stand up?

As time went on, war broke out and the power of chaos descended upon the real universe, allowing chaos to appear directly on planets without relying on fleets.

The powerful Chaos Demon Legion launched a frenzied charge towards the super-powered shield, creating an effect as strong as an electric swatter.

However, the Chaos Demons showed no sign of retreating; guided by their own god, they launched wave after wave of attacks.

The patrol fleet began to eliminate the large-scale demon hordes that appeared in the middle of the 108 worlds of the Misty Starfield, using their weapons to destroy the demons to the last man.

However, there were too many demons and the battlefield was too vast. Even though the patrol fleet had done its best to attack, the massive demon army could still easily overwhelm the patrol fleet's firepower.

If the patrol fleet hadn't been able to operate at speeds faster than light, making it impossible for the Chaos Demons to engage it, the demons would probably have already surrounded the patrol fleet by now.

Even so, as the war continued, the fleet's super shields began to become increasingly vulnerable.

They were just ordinary warships; their energy reserves were nowhere near those of those planets. Even the planets' shields began to flicker after such an attack, let alone their patrol fleets.

Moreover, warp gods can now intervene in battles in the real universe, as Khorne launched a blood-red energy attack on a planet.

The energy shield above was instantly shattered by Khorne, and then massive Chaos Crystals began to pour into the planet. Although the Emperor reacted quickly and slashed fiercely at Khorne with his sword.

However, Khorne's actions undoubtedly set an example for the other Chaos Gods, and the other three Chaos Gods also began to take action themselves, breaking the shield of the 108 worlds of the Misty Starfield.

One shield after another was broken, and Zhou Qing, who was directing the battle from the center, saw this and his eyes burned with rage!

Such powerful units appearing directly in the real universe to launch attacks is practically unheard of in the Federation of Humanity. Even if they were to appear as void entities, they would never be a match for the fleet.

After all, the strongest ones had never made a move until the Human Federation used the Disaster Flight technique to forcefully eliminate them.

The situation was different on the Warhammer side. These warp gods actually launched an attack on the real universe, which Zhou Qing had not anticipated.

His eyes were blazing with fury, but he was no match for the Chaos God.

Previously, the real universe acted as a barrier, preventing these chaotic evil gods from harming him. But now, as long as he makes a move, someone will definitely attack him.

But doing nothing was not Zhou Qing's choice.

Under Zhou Qing's orders, two of the six patrol fleets aimed their main guns at the four evil gods in the subspace.

Four beams of light shone brightly in the universe, directly attacking the evil god. This scene was witnessed by the space necromancers who were activating their own tomb fleet on the planet.

Oberon: "My general, come and see! These humans are truly valiant; they have actually launched a direct attack on these void entities!"

Although the Necromancers had become mechanical life forms, they still showed their respect for the warriors.

Serafis bowed slightly and replied, "These humans are indeed brave, but I do not recommend that we intervene in this battle. The warp contamination in this area is far too severe."

“If we rely solely on the strength of our small dynasty, we will not be able to defend this universe. My suggestion is to seek help from a more powerful dynasty.”

The Emperor could casually praise the strength of the opposing human fleet, but Serafis, as the commander of the dynasty, felt he could not.

“You’re right, my general. I’ve already requested aid from our superior dynasty, and someone will come to resolve this issue soon.”

"Now order our fleet to join the battle! This region is ultimately the territory of our Infinite Empire. These warp bastards are running rampant on my land, and this will not be tolerated!"

Oberon affirmed the words of his general, but the next second he chose to initiate a war against the warp god.

As the former overlords of the galaxy and the most technologically advanced beings in this universe, the Necromancers of space are not afraid of the wars in these war zones.
