Chapter 144: Falling into the Abyss
What's the most powerful weapon I've ever seen?
The petrified lizard artillery with a caliber of more than 150 millimeters can blow up a large crater with a diameter of more than 10 meters in the ground, and the killing range of the shock wave can reach 40 or 50 meters, and the shells of the griffin siege cannon with a diameter of more than 200 millimeters are twice as powerful. If it is a high-value special weapon such as ground-moving artillery shells, the shock wave set off by it can shock people to death at a distance of one kilometer. Ground-moving artillery shells are already almost the most terrifying weapon that can be found in our Imperial Defense Forces.
But these things, in the face of the fire of the naval guns, are completely like children's toys.
I have had the privilege of seeing the Navy's warships orbiting the ground, and I have seen the dazzling sword of light cut through the sky, declaring on the earth the greatest destructive power that humanity can create. Unlike the craters left behind by the explosion of the shells, the ground after the blast of the light spear turned red, showing ripples of liquid, which are the traces of the surface rock layer being melted by the high temperature of the laser. There were no bones of the enemy, no burning wreckage of the chariot, and a qiฤ turned into flying ashes. A single bombardment of a single battleship can wipe out an enemy within a few kilometers.
I can't help but rejoice that such a terrible force is on our side, and that the enemies of humanity do not have this power. But unfortunately, for our Imperial Defense Forces, the Navy's sense of existence is much weaker than that of Space Marine. At the height of the battle, we can often wait for the support of the Space Marines, but the support of the Navy is really out of reach. Better than nothing, the Space Marines also have orbital bombardment capabilities, but their ships seem to be a little less firepowered.
I haven't seen orbital bombardment up close, and I don't have a more intuitive impression of its power. Since the beginning of this battle, although the battleship I have ridden has suffered a lot of artillery, most of the time I have stayed in the safest bridge, far from the damaged position.
And right now, the power of the spear of light seemed to explode not far from my feet, and with just one attack, I felt like the whole world was crumbling around me!
The floor is shaking, the walls are shaking, and the loud sound is not only passing through the thinning air, but also through our bodies and directly into our brains, making us dizzy. Gravity has disappeared at some point, the magnetic device on the steel boots of the Space Marines' power armor seems to have failed, the iron-gray giants are constantly being tossed around like beans in a wok and unable to maintain their balance, and the dreadnought mechs are left with only one way of moving, and they are completely unable to control their own direction.
The seemingly impregnable steel fortress I was in was now falling apart.
If I were on the ground, in this terrifying environment, I could at least create a gravity-free environment for everyone to float forward, but now, I can only use the force field to condense into my own limbs to move forward, and pull those stumbling wolves from time to time. As for the dreadnought, which moves relatively clumsily, it's up to me to help him move.
I have some doubts that we will be able to get out of this dangerous area before the shelling is over.
The powerful thermal effect of the laser is particularly terrifying in a relatively confined environment. I've seen the inside of a tank pierced by a laser cannon, and even if the crew wasn't directly hit by the beam, the sudden expansion of air in the space would squeeze their bodies into a dilapidated mass. And the light spear of the battleship is more than 10,000 times more powerful than the individual laser cannon?
And the problem is, I don't know the way!
"Where are we going?" I shouted and gestured in tactical sign language, when the howling hurricanes, thin air, and loud noises made it incredibly difficult to talk.
Suspended in the hallway outside the hall, I felt the direction of the air and noticed that the air pressure was lower in the direction we were coming from, closer to where the hull was broken. Maybe I can't go over there.
Like his brothers, Velheim was unable to keep his balance, but at least his mind was clear, and he immediately sent a message to me, "Go up! โ
In this place where there is no gravity, it is difficult to distinguish between up and down - no, on a battleship, up and down seems to be a relative concept, or rather, it is determined by the position of the gravity generator......
Velheim shoved a simple diagram of a battleship directly into my head, "We are now here in the substructure, in the direction of the main body of the battleship. โ
So I noticed something strange, the one we are in now seems to be called the Jewel of Mackenna, which is also a luna-class cruiser, but the silhouette is slightly different from Add's ship, the Redemption of Heresy - the substructure of the Redemption of Heresy is not so big, the Red Pirates modified it privately?
Now is not the time to worry about this. I was about to discern the way I was going, but Velheim slammed his axe into one side of the wallโperhaps the top wall or the floor, but now I couldn't tell the difference between the top and the bottomโrevealing the corridor on the other side. "Go this way!"
Sharp air jets suddenly erupted from that side, and it was clear that the air pressure was higher over there.
I took out two hot melt bombs, widened the gap a bit, and stuffed the wolves into them one by one. Then, Velheim and I looked at each other, dumbfounded.
With Arslan's size, it would take at least ten bombs to make a hole for him to pass through, but I don't have much of a stock of this valuable weapon.
"You don't have to worry about me, I'm not going to die so easily." Thanks to the dreadnought's voice, it is clear enough to ask questions in this extremely harsh environment.
He was right, as long as the steel body of the dreadnought mecha was not directly hit by the light spear, it would not be too dangerous to be thrown into a vacuum, and it would be necessary to go out and find it back after the battle was over. But we obviously can't just leave him alone, and I can see from the eyes of the Rune Priest that even a man of his high status can't afford to give up a fearless elder casually.
I gathered my strength into the crevice, trying to tear it apart. Luckily, the steel used to isolate the space inside the battleship was not made of hardened steel like tank armor, but was just a very ordinary homogeneous steel plate, and I was able to tear them apart even if it was close to half a meter thick. It seems, just give me a minute......
There was a loud bang, and a wave of heat came from behind me and completely engulfed me, and I could feel the burning heat through the psionic shield, as if my hair and clothes were going to burn. Without looking back, I understood that it was another light spear that hit and pierced through the hull. If I hadn't kept my shield at all times, my thin flesh would have been squeezed into a blur in an instant.
When the heat wave passed, the direction of the wind suddenly changed, and the cold air currents blew in my face, pushing me backwards. The vacuum outside the battleship was rapidly pulling the air away, and the difference in air pressure was rapidly destroying the steel structure inside the battleship, and I could already hear the sound of the walls twisting and deforming under the weight of the battleship.
A little more! I further strengthened the condensation of psionic energy, and the over-concentrated power caused my head to start to ache. Under my will, the steel was torn apart like rotten leather, and this powerful destructive effect pleased me, and even the pain in my mind turned into pleasure.
"Hurry up and get out!" I sent a teleportation to Velheim in near-psychic shock, as I lifted Arslan's massive steel coffin and shoved it into the breach. The rift was still not wide enough, and rubbing against the dreadnought made a tooth-aching sound, but the dreadnought's armor was much harder than a homogeneous steel plate, and I don't think Arslan would mind.
Eventually, I was left with myself here, and a near-collapse sensation hit me, and I could barely hold myself in the wind. Suddenly, Velheim leaned half out of the crack, and blazing lightning flashed in his hand.
The devil is catching up! I felt the terrifying power behind me.
Didn't that guy get a direct hit?!
I didn't have time to look back to confirm, so I immediately dodged to the side to get out of the way. Lightning flashed past me, and a demonic roar of pain was heard behind me.
Velheim held the long handle of the tomahawk to me, and as I held it, I felt a tentacle wrap around my calf.
Cold and slippery, with sharp barbs, the wriggling cut a trail of blood on my body, and the tighter and tighter it became, almost breaking my bones.
"Let it go!" I regrouped my will, and the power of the psychic shock directly stunned the old rune priest for a moment, so he let go of his hand as I wished.
I snatched this sophisticated energy weapon, and the surging psionic power was poured into it, and the runes shone one after another, and the two blades emitted an exciting cold light. I turned to face the giant demon, letting go of my steady grip on my body, and letting the wind and the demon's tentacles lead me forward.
The demon was crawling on the wall with a few stubby tentacles, when it split into two and opened its round mouth to bite me. I just swung my axe and severed the one on my leg, then sped forward, dodging the two that came at me, and sprinting straight for the demon's massive body.
The outline of a human face appeared on a body like a piece of rotten flesh, as if mocking my weak struggle, as if with endless anger and rage. But now I'm even more furious than this demon!
"I swear to defend the Empire!
I swear to fight against the enemies of the Empire!
In the name of the Emperor!
Purify heretics! Slaughter the Xenomorphs! Cleanse the filth!
Kill! Kill! Kill! โ
With a force of more than a hundred tons, I threw this battle axe that shone with the power of thunder, and the nearly two-meter-long giant axe slashed deep into the demon's body, not even the entire long handle. The blade engraved with runes not only cut through flesh and blood, but also tore apart the essence of the demon at the level of the soul.
I heard the demon's hoarse roar, and the twin anguish of body and soul completely aroused its violent nature. It was no longer anchored to the trembling wall, reaching out with all its tentacles coming at me. But I was also in complete euphoria at this time, and my strength in this state was enough to tear apart the Thunderhawk gunboat, which was dozens of times larger than it!
The psionic energy condensed into a huge warhammer, smashing blood-spattered flowers on the demon's body, and smashing it backwards at the same time. The tentacles that were approaching me were torn off by me. I have unleashed my power on this filthy incarnation in the most savage and unskillful way, and I have an infinite amount of power to squander at this time!
The air thinned even further, but the wind was still strong, propelling me and the demon toward the ship's wounds.
Suddenly, my eyes became extremely open, the narrow steel alleyway was gone, and the stars filled my vision.
While the psionic shield kept me from being killed by this near-absolute zero environment, the deep, dark void chilled me and woke me up a little. It's not a battlefield I'm familiar with......
