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

Chapter 175 Two Hearts Are Broken

"Born in the fire, forged in the anvil..."

Lin Heng pondered the meaning of this sentence and thought that it was no wonder that Vulkan was working as a blacksmith on the Orc planet.

It turns out that the opponent's spiritual core contains this thing. Only after being baptized by war can one become a warrior, and only after being tempered into steel can one become a true strong man.

“The Dragon Guard you saw was an absolute master of swordsmanship in the regiment, even so skilled that he could be compared with the Imperial Guard.

Did you remember all the swordplay that the other party performed?" Zachli asked hurriedly.

"How is this possible? But before that, can you sew up my wound? This hole in my stomach is making me feel uncomfortable."

Zachley nodded to Morton, who then retracted his robotic arm, but he seemed to have noticed something.

He quickly motioned to Zachli to look at the place where he pointed, and then the two of them put their heads close to Lin Heng's belly and made surprised sounds again.

"How is this possible? What's wrong with you? How can an ordinary person who has not been genetically modified have such a recovery speed?"

Morton stretched out his hand and pulled apart the skin that was stuck together. Then he saw that the skin on top was slowly but surely growing together.

Surprised, he immediately connected the skin at several points like buttoning, then waited for a minute and tore it apart again.

It was found that the smooth incision had disappeared and turned into a lacerated structure.

"It's incredible, his recovery speed is almost like that of a reserve soldier who has undergone the seventh surgery.

Even in some ways it far exceeds what surgery can do, like this.”

Morton said as he opened the wound again, motioning for Zachley to observe the situation carefully.

"You, what are you doing!"

"How did you get this ability?"

"...I was born with supernatural powers! Weren't we chatting about dragon guards? How come we are interested in each other's bodies again?"

Lin Heng was too tired to complain. He just felt that after this incident, the effect of the anesthetic in his body was almost gone, and the pain in his stomach was becoming more and more obvious.

But the two didn't care about his complaints. Morton looked at Zachley without saying a word, but Zachley seemed to know what he was thinking.

"If you think the same as I do, then give it a try. I'll write it down," said Zachary.

Morton nodded immediately, then stood up and left quickly. A moment later he came back with a square box.

"Hey! What is this again! Didn't they say that you can only inoculate one gene seed? Hey!"

"Don't worry, I will answer all your questions for you one by one. We have an idea. If it succeeds, the benefits to you will be immeasurable."

Zachley said as he held down the struggling Lin Heng, and then Morton opened the box again, but this time he did not take out the gene seed.

It was a bright red, beating heart.

"Although we need to conduct a genetic co-construction experiment on your body and the second heart, I think this step can be omitted with your recovery speed."

As Morton spoke, he stuffed a heart that was about half the size of his fist into Lin Heng's chest.

Then he took various tools and performed a second heart reconstruction operation on Lin Heng.

Not only did the two of them skip the genetic co-construction experiment, they also skipped the previous ritual experiment that might not be clear.

Lin Heng wanted to yell, but the gradually fading numbness and the slowly rising pain forced him to grit his teeth.

Two huge space warriors, huddled in a tiny place, performed a tiny heart surgery on the tiny Lin Heng.

It was really a waste of their craftsmanship. Lin Heng just begged the two of them to finish quickly and did not dare to make any noise at this time.

Although it may not necessarily scare them, after all, it is a heart surgery on yourself, so you should be careful.

"*..*..Who did I offend..."

After enduring for about ten minutes, the two heads were raised up, and they were smiling. It seemed that the transformation operation was quite successful.

Lin Heng felt as if there were two hearts beating at the same time in his chest, and his breathing even quickened.

"We'll move on to the next transformation once you're stable. Now let's talk about Athanarius."

"screw you."

After Lin Heng finished speaking, he turned his head and fainted.

When he woke up, it was already three Terra days later, but the person he saw when he opened his eyes was Zachary who wanted to punch him.

"how do you feel?"

Lin Heng didn't really want to talk. He probably understood the mentality of these so-called loyal people.

The higher the position a person holds, the more abnormal his brain is. Their mental state cannot be compared with that of normal people.

The survivors at the bottom of the nest were abnormal enough, but I didn't expect that as civil servants of this empire, their brains would be even more abnormal.

But this group of abnormal people formed an extremely loyal line of defense, willing to sacrifice a huge number of lives to maintain the dignity of the empire and the emperor.

It’s a pity that a planet is so big, let alone a galaxy, a star region, a star field, or a Milky Way.

The scattered galaxy forced them to fight on their own. Although they were all humans in the same camp, they always had different ideas.

The sparks generated by the collision of ideas are the reason that ignites other planets.

“I know that all this is beyond your imagination. After all, people who have never been in contact with it have no idea how the regiment operates.

Even Space Marines would be puzzled by the lifestyles of other Chapters, let alone ordinary people."

Lin Heng listened to Zakli's words and thought to himself that he was not an ordinary person either. The evil god and the emperor were both watching him.

What's more, the situation on the orc side is hard to explain. If it were an ordinary person, he would have died in some corner of the hive long ago.

"Alas... no matter if you are a Space Marine or an Inquisitor, it seems that you have been away from the masses for too long.

It’s as if, although you are all working hard to fight against the enemies in the galaxy for the reproduction of humanity, your hearts are cold and indifferent to humans.

It's the so-called killing one man and saving ten thousand. It's the same as his train problem."

Although Lin Heng had seen very few Space Marines, he could still tell about 70% of them by looking at the big picture.

Although it is said that our mission is to protect the human race, when it comes down to it, the extinction of one or two planets is not unacceptable.

Zachli nodded and said:

"That's right, there's no need to tell us this, because it's the same in every department across the empire.

But the Salamanders and Vulkans are different. They have the emotions that civilians like most, conscience, humanity, willingness to sacrifice, and the desire to lead by example.

While most Space Marines are good at killing their enemies, they do not care about civilian casualties."

Lin Heng recalled Vulcan's calm face, and then Athanarius' smile emerged in his mind again.

Unlike any other Space Marine or Astra Militarum expression, Lin Heng could feel the harmony behind the other person's expression.

"Tell me the story of Athanarius. I know too little about the history of the empire."

Zachli let out a long breath, as if recalling some heavy memory.

"Athanarius... It is said that he followed Vulcan to fight on the battlefield ten thousand years ago and made great achievements.

His swordsmanship is so advanced that the enemy cannot last even a minute in front of him. Even creatures taller than him will be chopped down to be shorter than him in the end.

In the flash of swords and sabers, the enemy's power armor was chopped into pieces before they could even see who was coming. In the blink of an eye, their heads fell to the ground.

Strong, loyal, kind, tough, any noble word you can imagine, you can use it to describe him. "

Lin Heng looked at Zach Li and his expression gradually became one of respect as he spoke, as if the other party was his idol.

"But in a galaxy like this, I guess the other party's ending is not very good."

Zachary nodded immediately, and his expression returned to its previous slightly thoughtful look.

"Yes, he died protecting Vulkan in that massacre - the Isstvan V massacre!

Ten thousand years ago, during the darkest hour of the Imperium, the Primarch's betrayal!"

Lin Heng felt Zachli's grief-stricken mood. Although this happened ten thousand years ago, he felt as if he had experienced it himself.

"Then how did Vulkan disappear? I clearly saw him fighting with an absurdly large orc, smashing some equipment with a hammer."

"That's another story. After the Beast Wars and the massacre, the great Vulkan disappeared for a while, but was saved by several other loyal primarchs.

His regiment returned to their home planet after many hardships and successfully awakened Vulkan through a passage built by aliens.

He successfully returned to Terra and guarded Terra for a thousand years. Until the Beast War broke out, the Primarch disappeared in the final showdown.

Zachli looked a little lonely after he finished speaking, but Lin Heng always felt something was wrong.

"You know a lot, but isn't it too detailed? What the Inquisitor said are just some frameworks. Is this all the history preserved by the Chapter?"

After going through all kinds of things, Lin Heng became really sensitive to details. No matter who it was, once they talked about certain departments or battle groups.

Everyone only knows the name of each thing, but not the details of its content, and Zachley can talk about it all by himself, unless he interrupts others.

This person wanted to tell Lin Heng exactly how Vulcan swung the hammer, and the details were a bit too detailed.

After hearing Lin Heng's words, Zachli seemed to realize something and immediately stood up and said very seriously:

"We have our own ways. We are a Chapter loyal to the Primarch!"

Lin Heng nodded, thinking to himself, oh no, maybe these people of his used some method that was forbidden by the empire.
