If they can obtain a soul to upgrade it to magic, they will gain a powerful combat unit.
More importantly, they could sense that if they could absorb the soul of a psionic legion soldier, their power would also be enhanced.
This enhancement is not an enhancement caused by some change in the universe that greatly increases the power of a certain evil god, but a genuine and fundamental enhancement.
Even if the enhancement is only insignificant, what in the universe could make these Chaos Gods inherently stronger?
Nothing could fundamentally make them stronger, so even though absorbing the souls of these psionic legion soldiers only brought them a negligible boost, they still flocked to it.
A fundamental strengthening, once authority is strengthened, will produce absolutely excellent results.
The cause of this effect is Zelo, which Zhou Qing carried with him before he transmigrated.
This thing is not something that the Warhammer universe could have. Their appearance was a coincidence; they were originally the corpses of a dead race.
In Warhammer, creating this thing is equivalent to capturing an Old One or a Star God, burning them, and turning them into this substance.
Of course, this alone is not enough to strengthen the essence of these evil gods.
However, the Human Federation conducted in-depth research on these things after acquiring them.
They were then purified and synthesized, which altered the nature of these substances.
The Zelos brought by Zhou Qing can enhance the essence of the Warp Gods, making them even more powerful.
The psionic legion created by Zhou Qing's user, Loso, naturally inherited this characteristic.
The evil gods are now watching intently.
If the battlefield weren't right under Old Huang's buttocks, these evil gods probably wouldn't have been able to resist taking matters into their own hands to snatch it.
Chapter 98 The Empire's New Space Marines: Original Space Marines
A large number of chaotic demons are being mobilized, and the chaotic evil gods are constantly sending them into the net path like a tidal wave.
By the end of the first month of the war, the demons had finally begun to break through the blockade of fire and possess some fighting power and threat.
Although the soldiers were all superhuman, they eventually got tired. After a month of continuous combat, they naturally felt somewhat exhausted.
As the battle entered its second month, some demons began to charge up to the Imperial army.
However, it was basically useless; the Imperial Guards could easily chop them into mincemeat with a wave of their weapons.
The demons continued to be systematically eliminated under Zhou Qing's command, while the demon invasions in the real world began to decrease as more demons were transferred to the network to fight.
This action bought Guilliman time, allowing him ample opportunity to deal with domestic affairs and begin mobilizing the Imperial Army to prepare for the Unyielding Expedition.
With the Chaos army reduced in number, only the Black Legion forces remained, invading the Empire's territory.
Guilliman's approach can be considered much simpler.
He could slowly and calmly mobilize those Imperial troops to regroup on Terra.
Instead of facing the current situation where Zhou Qing is not around, he would have to deal with the withdrawal of most of the imperial army, leading to the direct fall of some imperial worlds.
He could easily withdraw some of the Star Force and naval fleets from less urgent areas.
Guilliman began to amass troops on Terra, and a steady stream of warships began to sail towards Terra.
Under the guidance of the Son of God, the human empire unleashed its potential and strength.
The human empire is truly vast. With a galaxy of millions of worlds, the human empire is immense in size, enough to make anyone who wants to destroy it or protect it feel despair.
However, this size also gave this vast empire enormous war potential, as long as someone could mobilize them.
This human empire, which appears neither great nor advanced, is enough to crush any opponent in the galaxy with its sheer size.
Even so, not every weapon in the Imperial Armory can fight independently.
They must come together and coordinate their movements under the command of the Primarch or Zhou Qing in order to achieve maximum efficiency.
Guilliman successfully mobilized various armed forces within the Imperium of Man through the re-ignited navigational starlight and the re-established interstellar communications.
At the same time, it is necessary to solve the current predicament of having an army but lacking weapons and warships.
He began sending messages to resource-rich foundry worlds, instructing them to produce more warships and various war machines.
Forged worlds like Mars and Jupiter have joined this project, and of course, it's all much simpler than when Guilliman returned to Terra alone.
With a formidable deterrent force comprised of 2,800 million Space Marines and a vast Titan army.
The forged worlds of Mars and Jupiter immediately chose to obey the Primarch's commands.
Without the Forge World and the Cult of Mechanics, it would be tantamount to suicide to fight against so many Space Marines and Titans.
They began to regain the efficiency they had during the Great Expedition.
After issuing this series of orders, Guilliman gave his most important second order: the Primal Space Marines.
Zhou Qing did indeed provide a large number of Space Marines, which truly provided a significant amount of manpower.
However, this does not mean that the technology of the original Space Marines is outdated.
The Empire of Man also needs its own Space Marine forces, instead of relying entirely on Zhou Qing.
Although Zhou Qing's troops are powerful, if we rely solely on Zhou Qing, will we be able to force this big shot to leave?
To show Zhou Qing that the Human Empire was not merely a burden, Guilliman sought out his follower, Caul, and implemented these plans.
The original Space Marines were far more powerful than the Space Marines currently existing in the original Warhammer.
Because of Zhou Qing's arrival, these Space Marines were given new technologies, and their combat power was even higher than that of the PDFs under Zhou Qing's command at that time.
Although the advantage is limited, and there is a significant gap in weaponry, it would still be impossible to win in a firefight.
The Gauss rifles equipped by the PDFs are not weapons that the current Imperials can easily match.
Even so, some original Space Marines were far superior to the older generation of Space Marines in many aspects, such as height and ability.
They are larger, stronger, and more agile.
Especially after Zhou Qing intervened in and strengthened the original Forged Space Marines' plans, these original Forged Space Marines could even take on two or three of their former Space Marines at once.
In addition to the physical differences, Kaul also developed a variety of new weapons and equipment for these Space Marines.
The power armor they wore was called the Mark Tactical Armor. Occasionally, when designing this new armor, references were drawn to all previous Space Marine power armor models, and a modular design was adopted.
This power armor is not a single model, but rather a modular system with many variations.
Original Space Marines can choose the best type of armor based on the needs of the battlefield.
It can be said that this power armor is only slightly inferior in terms of defensive capabilities.
In theory, its various values are already comparable to the power armor that Zhou Qing equipped for his planetary defense forces.
In other words, from this moment on, the Proto-Forged Space Marines became qualified planetary defense forces, and they would become a solid force protecting the Imperium of Man.
As for tanks, there's not much to say. Even the new Space Marine tanks designed by Caul in the Empire of Man would be one-shotted by Zhou Qing's Annihilators.
The difference in these things is so great that there's no comparison.
Of course, Kaul didn't just develop these things; he also developed something Zhou Qing had never even considered: the Dreadnought Mech.
Original Cast Space Marines can be equipped with the newer Redeemer Dreadnoughts, which are more effective than the Cast Iron Dreadnoughts currently equipped by the Imperial Space Marines.
The enhanced size, defense, and firepower are all thanks to Kaul's newly designed reactor and complex power fiber bundles.
Its output power has also become extremely powerful, enabling it to carry a variety of devastating weapons.
Moreover, thanks to a more robust neural connection system, the crippled Space Marines buried in the Redeemer's Dauntless were able to manipulate the device more effectively from within the iron coffin.
It could be said that the great sage Kaul directly prepared a new Space Marine force for Guilliman.
Furthermore, the weapons and equipment used by Space Marines from birth to combat, and even the coffins used after their death, have all been designed.
Its main feature is thoughtfulness.
Chapter 99 This is pure numerical domination.
In short, over the course of 10,000 years, the Great Sage Caul had, in accordance with Guilliman's orders, prepared hundreds of thousands of Space Marines based on the genetic sequences of the nine Loyal Legions.
Many of these people were originally recruits who would join various warbands, while others were people with potential whom Caul discovered through data analysis.
These people were secretly taken away from their own world by Kaul in the past and underwent Kaul's body modification during a long slumber.
They continued to provide combat instruction under hypnosis, over and over again.
This army, which had already reached the size of a legion, has now been awakened, solely to prepare troops for the upcoming great expedition, even though it seems that such a small legion of troops is completely unnecessary.
However, Guilliman's attitude was very clear: the human empire could not do nothing; it was their duty.
Even though Zhou Qing is now the Sun Lord of the Human Empire, Guilliman still thinks so.
He felt that the human empire couldn't just do nothing and watch Zhou Qing put in the effort.
Guilliman is quite kind-hearted, perhaps because he has normal parents.
In the fifth month of continuing the battle against Chaos, Zhou Qing witnessed the profound strength of the human empire.
This empire, which possesses millions of planets, has demonstrated an unprecedented depth of power.
Countless, innumerable warships of human empires gathered in the solar system and even in the surrounding star systems.
They were directly mobilized by Guilliman and assigned to combat units to advance to other regions.
As mentioned before, the Imperium of Man's fighting force includes Space Marines, who are one of the Imperium's top fighting forces.
However, it does not represent the entirety of human military combat capabilities.
Even if all of these special units, such as the Space Marines, the Silent Sisters, and the Guardians of the Order of the Silent, were wiped out by the enemy, it would only count as the loss of 1% of the Imperium's combat strength.
The true fighting force of the human empire consists of its countless navy, its innumerable Astral Army, and its even more incalculable Planetary Defense Force.
Even the Ministry of Military Affairs cannot accurately count how many warships, astral forces, and planetary defense forces the Human Empire possesses.
The human empire does build warships very slowly, but they have many places to build them, and a large number of warships are being manufactured and destroyed at all times.
No one can count this number.
Just as the military department cannot count the number of the Star Forces, it also cannot count the number of warships.
It is possible to make partial statistics on a series of major warships such as the Imperial-class battleships, the Glorious-class battleships, and the Queen Elizabeth-class battleships.
However, the number of smaller warships like destroyers and frigates is truly countless.
