Author's Note on Publication: Asking for Your First Subscriptions!
This chapter is supposed to be free on Qidian, but due to some bizarre glitch, it has somehow become paid on QQ Reading. The author is utterly speechless and got unjustly flamed over it!
It goes on shelves tonight after midnight. Please support the debut subscription!
This is my first time writing a Warhammer fanfic, but overall, it's turning out pretty decent. The cheat system in this book follows the style of a monster-themed different-world novel I wrote previously.
I've always felt that the concept of summoning Ultraman-series monsters is exceptionally fun and immensely powerful, ranking among the top-tier cheat abilities.
In the Warhammer universe, the potential output and combat capability of Ultraman monsters are remarkably high, and this book differs distinctively from other Warhammer-style novels.
Let me address a few questions raised by fellow bookworms. First, this book is not dark.
The Warhammer universe is undoubtedly dark, profoundly hopeless, and filled with an overwhelming sense of oppression.
However, the protagonist's cheat is strong enough. Since I've already stopped eating beef, what else is there to worry about?
The primary selling point of this book is the terrifying combat power displayed by various monsters in the Warhammer universe—summoning all kinds of mighty beasts to crush the enemy.
Some readers are hung up on why the protagonist would side with the Imperium of Man instead of independently establishing his own faction.
First of all, practically all popular Warhammer fanfics currently on the market involve siding with the Human Imperium!
Secondly, the biggest fatal flaw of monsters is their lack of intelligence; they are fundamentally brainless entities. Otherwise, Ultraman wouldn't even need to fight.
If monsters had brains and united, Ultraman could just surrender right away. Why do you think Alien Rayblood was able to rule the universe?
It's because he could control monsters! Those ultimate lifeform titles aren't the main point; many monsters possess ferocious combat strength yet complete absence of intellect.
As for those alien races, they can work as hired laborers, but they are entirely unsuited to be the primary citizenry. Humanity is undoubtedly the best fit.
After all, the sheer population base speaks for itself!
Besides, the protagonist is a human being himself! Talking about overthrowing the Imperium and establishing a new order is completely unnecessary.
Standing with humanity, coupled with having faster-than-light engines, the Golden Emperor will definitely go all out to help you.
Because whether the human race can avoid the fate of extinction and achieve complete prosperity in the universe practically rests entirely upon the protagonist!
The protagonist is closer to the Golden Emperor than his own biological sons; if the protagonist even mentions wanting to become the second Emperor of the Imperium, the Emperor wouldn't have a single objection.
Humanity has so many enemies, with every single alien race being formidable. Naturally, the right move is to use monsters to crush them all.
Some people also ask why the protagonist doesn't acquire the Alien Rayblood bloodline—being a Reionics is so cool!
This is even easier to explain. Future Reionics, and even Alien Rayblood himself, are destined to work as laborers for the protagonist. Why would the protagonist want the bloodline of a mere laborer?
A Reionics can control at most three monsters, whereas the protagonist's current number of monsters already exceeds that of any Reionics.
The protagonist himself possesses the ability to enhance various monster capabilities, making it arguably the most versatile skill of all.
Now, let's talk about the author's comprehension level of Warhammer!
Due to living in a small city, local Warhammer tabletop players are extremely rare—practically non-existent. I have to travel to the provincial capital just to play a tabletop wargame, and even then, fewer than twice a year.
Therefore, the author hasn't bought many Warhammer miniatures. My biggest hobby is researching various Warhammer lore materials, reading official novels, fanfics, and playing related video games.
Consequently, I have a fairly good grasp of Warhammer's worldview, background, and various stories. Actually, some armchair-theorist readers raise certain questions that are, how should I put it?
To give the simplest example, have you guys ever read the official novel where Ork Boyz actually allied with humans and even handed out candy to human children?
Take the warp nature of the Primarchs, for instance. Their warp nature inherently means they originate from the warp; it does not refer to the awakening of some specific power, and it has nothing whatsoever to do with a Primarch's combat strength.
Yet in some fanfic novels, they treat it like a Super Saiyan transformation, claiming that without awakening their warp nature, their combat prowess falls apart. That is absolute, utter bullshit.
If you put it that way, are the combat abilities of the Wolf King subpar?
Are the Lion's combat abilities subpar? Is Sanguinius's combat abilities subpar?
Roboute Guilliman, who had just awakened from stasis, was able to go on a rampage, obliterating Chaos Space Marines and tearing Greater Daemons apart with his bare hands.
Thus, many people have deeply misunderstood. The warp nature is by no means a Super Saiyan transformation; there is simply no such concept as awakening a warp nature to enhance a Primarch's combat power.
There is zero validity to the claim that a Primarch who awakened their warp nature is stronger in combat than one who hasn't.
I have discussed this issue with many Bilibili Warhammer uploaders. I can only say that certain armchair authors are misleading people.
What can now be confirmed as solid canon is that the Primarchs are lesser deities born within the warp. One prevailing theory is that these lesser deities are gods born from the human race.
Since factions like the T'au can give birth to their own T'au'va Goddess, there is no reason humanity cannot. The proportion of psykers among humans is quite substantial, arguably second only to the Aeldari.
Before the rise of the Golden Emperor, humanity definitely birthed its own warp deities. It is highly probable that all Primarchs are essentially these human warp gods who were similarly bullied by the Chaos Gods.
Then, the Golden Emperor brought these human lesser deities out into the reality, having them inhabit the cloned physical bodies He prepared. That is the true identity of the Primarchs.
If you relied solely on cloning technology, you could never create true gene-primarchs.
For instance, Fabius Bile has produced a massive number of cloned Primarchs, far more than just a few.
Fulgus alone has slaughtered quite a few clone Primarchs!
Finally, thank you all for your support. After the book goes on shelves, there will be massive updates. For every increase of 500 subscriptions, I will unleash a burst update. I'll drop a few chapters tonight, and there will be more updates during the day tomorrow.
For the foreseeable future, the daily output will be ten thousand words.
