Thanos didn't want to be a villain.

Chapter 42 The Expansion of the Kyloren and the Astartes

The great battle between Hela and Odin illuminated the entire Asgard.

Having grasped the meaning of life and death, Hela became extremely powerful. She no longer had the obsession with war she once did, and she fought with even greater strength.

Odin is no longer in his prime, but he is still very strong. Hela completely overwhelms Odin in their current battle.

Hela's transformation greatly surprised Frigga, Thor, and the others.

As for Odin, who was at a disadvantage in the game...

Nobody cares about him.

after the war.

Odin said he wanted to send Thor and Loki to the Chinese gods, as they were causing him too much trouble.

Not only are they not very strong, but they also love to court death.

Thor also wanted to go to the Chinese gods, since Hela could crush him even without going, but could crush his father if she went. No matter how you look at it, Hela was stronger.

The dutiful son, Saul, nodded frantically in his heart.

As for Loki, after being baptized by the illusion last time and occasionally possessed by the God of Stories at the end of time, his physical abilities and magical talents have also been enhanced.

He wouldn't even need further education; by studying diligently in Asgard during this period, he could achieve a level comparable to Thor's current skill.

"Don't you want to stay a little longer?" Frigg was reluctant to part with Hela.

“I still have a country to manage. I’ve been away for so long, I have to go back and see it, don’t I?” Dio and Hela entered the spaceship under the guards of the Golden Guard.

"Don't worry, Mother, I'm not the same person I used to be. And when you compare, I've still achieved my goals." Hela smiled and left with Frigga, who was reluctant to see her go.

Thor was more than happy to see this, after all, the Imperial Guards were really strong in combat, and they fought him to a standstill in hand-to-hand combat, especially with the monomolecular blade explosive power halberd in his hand, he felt that Mjolnir was almost sliced ​​off a layer.

Thor, of course, had no idea that Odin was secretly repairing his hammer, which was covered in wounds. After all, it was a divine artifact, and as long as the wounds weren't too severe, it could be restored with magic.

Back in the Empire, Dio and Hela rested for a while before settling the affairs that had accumulated since their departure.

Dio even made a series of modifications to the Astartes' modification surgery, and even expanded it, adding troops called the Steel Hands and the Salamanders.

The Iron Hand was designed to enable the Astartes and Spartan forces to conduct their own technological research and development. After all, it's impossible for him to always come up with ideas on his own, and he can't always create weapons suitable for the troops. Only the troops themselves understand their own needs.

The fire salamander, on the other hand, is a warrior who saves civilians.

After all, the quickest way to get a conquered territory to accept its rule is to appease the civilians.

The pressure from Ultra Warriors and Imperial Fists is too strong, and because of their personalities, Ultra Warriors might try to reason with you, but they mostly use "reasoning" instead.

The Imperial Fist won't say a word; it's considered good if he doesn't just kill you with a single shot.

Prior to this, these duties were secondary to the Spartan forces. After all, once they put on their power armor, they were only about two meters tall, and their imposing presence was not as strong as that of the Astartes, making them easier for people to accept.

Moreover, the Spartan forces are one of the few Space Marine units that have female soldiers.

The Salamanders and the Cryers are known throughout the Warhammer universe for their love of mortals; they are even willing to risk their own lives to save them. Therefore, Dio's goal is to quickly appease the civilians after conquering a planet.

The relatively amiable fire lizard could gain the people's trust more quickly.

Then his subordinates gave him the first good news since he returned to the Empire: a race in the universe had joined the Empire with its entire planet.

The reason is that when the Ultramarines fought against the enemy, the battle lines reached the planet where this race lived, and they charged fearlessly in front of them, violently and bravely defeating the enemy.

In the eyes of this group, these Astartes were a bunch of real men.

It's the kind with extremely high purity.

Then, I don't know what these Ultramarines said to them, but they directly decided to lead the entire planet to join the Empire!

Dio glanced at their information and was completely stunned!

The Kyloren.

They are the Kylos!

If you don't know this race, you can imagine Drax the Destroyer from Guardians of the Galaxy.

Although in the comics he is an Earthling who was modified by Thanos's grandfather, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe he is an alien with his own race. His race was affected by the war due to the Kree and thus entered space.

They were almost wiped out because of the Kree.

Throughout the entire Guardians of the Galaxy movie and TV series, Drax is the only one who wanders outside. Does he not have any of his people?

That's definitely impossible.

Judging from this limited observation, the Kylo people generally have low intelligence.

Relying on their exceptional physical abilities, they roamed recklessly throughout the universe, making their eventual extermination understandable.

These are not the main points; the main points are the characteristics of this race.

They possess incredible physical resilience, strength, and endurance. Their physical attributes are comparable to those of the Astartes, and the strongest warriors in the tribe can even defeat an Astarte with overwhelming force.

It's important to know that Dio's Astartes modification surgery incorporated the original Astartes modification surgery, and it was a modification surgery that Dio had modified!

In terms of performance, he felt that his Astartes was even stronger physically than the Astartes in the Warhammer world!

His Astartes are practically mini-Hulks, wearing two or three tons of terracotta armor. If it weren't for the fact that the power armor's built-in systems needed to be activated, they could move freely without installing power backpacks.

Moreover, the Astartes' genetic seeds were found among members of the Eternals.

Ultra Warrior and Imperial Fist are genetically engineered seeds created from the genetic code of Seven, who possessed extremely high physical strength.

This comparison makes it easy to imagine how high the physical potential of the Kylo race is.

Perhaps it's in their nature, but they have an extremely high pursuit of strength, yet they are very patient and attentive to the vulnerable.

Dio thought for a moment and realized that if they were brought into the Empire, they could try recruiting them into the Salamander Army. Because of their physical attributes, they wouldn't even need much modification; they would just need to be taller so that they could wear power armor.

Dio was very happy and drank another glass of wine.

Thinking about it now, it seems like he was the only one without power armor.

Perhaps because he was too strong, Dio did not design power armor for himself, because it was unnecessary; power armor was not as sturdy as his own body.

Regardless, Dio still designed a set of dark gold armor for himself, along with a set of powered weapons.

After thinking for a moment, Dio began to redistribute the gene seeds.

The Spartan Project's gene seed was created from the genetic code obtained from Ike, who possessed super speed and a telekinetic barrier. Of course, because of the Spartan Project, these warriors only had one gene seed to modify their bodies, and none of the other surgeries were performed.

Even so, the Spartan warriors possessed extremely high physical abilities, and Dio even specially created a heavy machine gun for them called the Heavy Cannon, which is the gun from Doom.

The two additional warbands that Dio now plans to create will be made using the genes of Olay, the genetic code of the younger sister of the three siblings.

As a telepath, Olay himself possesses extremely high mental abilities, which can enhance the brain development and utilization of the Iron Hand.

As for the fire lizard, Dio thought for a moment and decided to use his own genes to create a gene seed!

As for the reason, it might be because, as a Cloud Hammer user, I quite like these warriors who have feelings for mortals in the nightmarish world of Warhammer.

Of course, it was also because Dio wanted to recreate the fire lizard's immortality, and as the strongest among the eternal gods, his ability to live was the greatest!
