If the empire does not handle Memphis well now, the empire's territory will be exposed. At that time, the war will inevitably spread to the empire's homeland, which is unacceptable to Zheng Gan.
Now the Empire can attack at any time while the enemy cannot launch an effective counterattack against the Empire, which makes it inherently invincible. However, if this layer of protection of the Empire is lost in advance because of Memphis, it really feels like a loss.
What's more, it's not just the Zerg that's chasing Memphis. That unknown hunter civilization will definitely be more powerful than all the enemies the empire has encountered now.
But the empire must not give up the secret of Memphis, as this involves the possibility of the empire making further progress.
Therefore, the empire temporarily adopted a stopgap measure.
When the Thorin zoanthids were about to reach the Milky Way, the Empire teleported Memphis to the nano-field through the L-star gate, and then from the nano-field to the metric field, like kicking the ball, to teleport this little thing between the two galaxies to take the swarm for a walk first.
This method can confuse the Zerg for a while, but after a few attempts, the Empire will let the Zerg discover the trick.
However, the time gained in this way can allow the Empire to do many things. If the outcome of this expedition can be determined in the warp, the Empire can take the initiative to intercept the Zerg.
They acted immediately. Memphis was handed over to Ding Yi to take care of him. Zheng Gan immediately ordered Liu Qi, Cyberlux, and the Grey Goo Fleet to prepare to break into the warp. The main target this time was Nurgle. If that didn't work, they could just settle for another one. Anyway, the Empire was determined to slaughter this god!
After spending three years gathering troops and opening up the subspace tunnel, the combined fleet, led by Grey Wind and Zheng Gan, began their surprise attack.
The movement of the mighty fleet entering the subspace naturally could not be hidden from the masters of this space.
They were quite shocked to find that the Empire still had the military strength to launch a sneak attack, and judging from the fleet configuration, this was a force that had never been seen before.
This time it was called a surprise attack, but it was more like an open siege.
As soon as these evil gods discovered the Empire's second fleet, the Emperor and the main forces on the front battlefield suddenly launched a general attack on the evil gods and their believers.
The Emperor, who always had some strength left, fought against five people alone and became more and more fierce. A powerful ether energy shot out from reality, penetrated the boundary between reality and illusion and directly injected into the Emperor's body.
The strengthened Emperor became even more unscrupulous, and his tactics of exchanging injuries for injuries made the evil gods dare only defend themselves and not fight back.
And these evil gods also witnessed the power of ether energy for the first time.
In their perception, this is a new power that vaguely surpasses the form of psychic power.
But before they could continue sensing, the Emperor's flaming sword slashed down.
The nano fleet and the mechanical fleet completely ignored the various strange things in the subspace and directly rushed into the evil god's army in a sharp knife formation.
The evil god's army, which was already in chaos, was squeezed from both sides and was in a state of disarray.
After successfully suppressing the evil god's forces, part of the empire's fleet began to turn its attention to the gods fighting at a higher level.
These fleets are lined up in an array and are accumulating energy. This is a method that the Empire has been researching for a long time to use real matter to harm the evil god.
After brewing for a long time, an arrow formed of pure energy was launched from the arranged fleet array.
This arrow penetrated directly into the subspace, tearing a crack with invisible edges in the subspace.
Beneath the cracks, the stars in the real universe appear so sparkling.
The arrow flying at the speed of light directly broke through the layers of distorted space around the god, broke through the god's divine shield, penetrated the boundary between virtual and reality, and directly hit the god's body.
Nurgle's body, which was like a sea of stars, had no time to dodge the arrow.
An angry wail echoed in the warp, and a violent space storm was set off in the entire warp.
The distorted space made it difficult for the space crack that was just created by the arrow to heal.
A long arrow of holy light pierced Nurgle's left eye. His fat body was in excruciating pain due to the burning of powerful energy and kept shaking.
The gods such as Tzeentch standing by were obviously also shocked by the empire's methods.
The Emperor took this opportunity to ignore Tzeentch and Khorne's attacks on him, and chopped down from top to bottom with his sword.
The Emperor's powerful blow directly split Nurgle's huge body into two halves, and he himself was hit by the evil god's attack and half of his body exploded in the void.
Nurgle's body, which was split in two, could not be repaired for a long time because of the psychic energy attached to the Emperor's sword.
The exploded Emperor quickly fell backwards, and a stream of light suddenly flew out from his huge body and stabbed fiercely at the big mouth in Nurgle's abdomen.
At this time, Zheng Gan also mobilized all his spiritual power to extend a branch of the Tree of Life and tightly wrap it around Nurgle's body.
Bang!
A burst of violent white light exploded after the stream of light transformed by the Eldar goddess of life pierced Nurgle.
Then a special black hole was formed in the center of the explosion, which was madly absorbing the energy of Nurgle. Behind the black hole was the completed ether phase engine.
The engine is bound to suck out all the Nurgle at full power!
All this happened in a flash, and even the other gods in the subspace who had been watching the battle in the dark were shocked by the Empire's actions.
"All ships retreat!"
The goal has been achieved. Even if Nurgle doesn't die this time, he has completely withdrawn from the sequence of hegemony. The Emperor is seriously injured and the Empire will not be able to escape if it doesn't run away now.
As expected, the fighting power displayed by the Empire was already qualified to kill gods, and those psychic evil gods who were watching the battle secretly immediately launched an interception against the Empire's fleet.
On the other hand, the evil gods including Tzeentch began to intensify their efforts to compete with the Aether Phase Engine for Nurgle energy, which had been used as an energy source.
As the oldest god in the Warp, Nurgle's energy is extremely precious to them!
Seeing that everyone was rushing to grab Nurgle's energy, a group of evil gods who were intercepting the empire also joined the fight.
This powerful but divisive force is nothing but dead bones in a grave to Zheng Gan.
Zheng Gan glanced at Jianqi meaningfully and smiled gently.
"You're next."
After transferring personnel, the Empire directly blew up nearly half of its fleet and successfully withdrew from the warp.
