Chapter 708: Death Battle
[Time: -74.52.31]
"Blood sacrifice to the blood god, skull sacrifice to the skull!"
The bright red giant roared angrily and waved the chainsaw sword in his hand and slashed head-on at Duanmu Huai. And Duanmu Huai shouted, and the spiritual energy flow on his body exploded instantly, blocking the opponent's attack stiffly. Then he picked up his hammer and slammed it forward, the thunder hammer slamming into the warrior's head, shattering his head to pieces along with his helmet, and the headless corpse shook before falling to the ground.
"Go on the offensive!!"
Marius was in no mood to care about the situation around him at the moment, he raised the blaster in his hand and aimed at the enemies in front of him, countless enemies, a large number of enemies. The monsters he had never seen before, they were all red, they were holding flaming swords, and they were accompanied by something like a hound, Marius didn't know what they were, but his instincts told him that they weren't the alien aliens on other planets he had faced before, nor some variant of the orcs, but something more terrifying, evil.
However, at the moment, there is no way back.
But what shocked Marius even more were the Astartes who stood across from himβββ or rather, they used to be Astartes.
But now, they are not.
"Die!!"
At that moment, another Space Marine roared out of the crowd, raised his shotgun, and attacked Marius and the others. The latter hurriedly dodged and then raised his gun to return fire. The bomb struck the Astarte, blasting through his terracotta armor and tearing through his flesh, which was logically enough to render an Astarte incapacitated.
But the Space Marine, however, did not fall down on the contrary, and on the contrary, it seemed to infuriate him even more, and he strode forward, the heavy machine gun bullets in his hand roaring out like a storm, and Marius and the others could not lift their heads. It was originally a ground fire battery for defense, and even Astarte could not have lifted it, but now, this Astarte held it as easily as a toy, pouring destruction and death in all directions.
To be honest, in the face of such a tricky enemy, even the commander of the first company did not know how to deal with it for a while.
Luckily, though, there are others here.
Ogis floated down from the web of fire like a ghost, she raised her right hand, her fingers shaking, and then she saw the turret in the space marine's hand suddenly cut into several pieces and then exploded and cracked. The sudden burst of fire blinded the other party's vision, causing him to subconsciously take a step back. At the same time, Lorena stepped forward and punched the opponent in the chest, and then saw the tall Space Marine being knocked out like a paper man, slamming into the wall behind him, and then turning into a puddle of meat sauce like a fly hit by a fly swatter.
The battle was over, and when Marius and the others stood up, all that was left was a large pile of corpses in front of them.
"The Emperor, what the hell is this........."
Marius swallowed a mouthful of saliva, as Ultramarines, as Astarte, they had long forgotten their fears, which logically were extinct in Astarte, and they had been molded as warriors who didn't know what fear was from the day they were born. Descriptions of fear had only been seen in books before.
But now, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar corpse at his feet, he experienced for the first time fearβββ dazed, not knowing what to do, trembling, as if the solid earth under his feet had collapsed, and he was being thrown into the endless void. In this moment, Marius felt as fragile and helpless as a three-year-old child.
"As you can see, your former brothers have become lackeys who have succumbed to the Chaos Gods."
Duanmu Huai's voice was very calm, very calm, and very calm, which made Marius come back to his senses a little.
"I can't believe it."
He stared at the corpse in front of him, it was Astarte's, but it wasn't all, his body was clearly mutated, of course, the most obvious was the long horns that grew on his forehead, and the sharp teeth like beasts in their wide open mouths.
"I've seen psykers mutate, but I didn't expect Astarte to be like this."
"Now you see it."
Duanmu Huai's expression was very calm, and his voice was also very calm.
"The Chaos Gods corrupt everything, whether it's mortals, psionics, Astartes, or genetic agents, if you can't hold on to your mind, then you won't be spared."
"But they can still be killed."
Marius gradually calmed down, and he clenched the blaster in his hand, as if he had found support and courage again.
"Of course they can be killed."
Duanmu Huai sneered.
"Even if it's a Chaos Evil God, it's not impossible to kill, of course, if your strength is strong enough......... Alright, let's move on, it's not far from the bridge. β
"So, what the hell are they?"
Marius continued on his way, but this time, he felt his emotions seem to be much calmer.
"Isn't it strange that they are subspace creatures, in purely rational terms? Fish live in the sea, birds live in the sky, and it's not so strange that there are creatures in the subspace. β
"Indeed......... As you say, why do you call them evil gods? β
"It's just a title."
Duanmu Huai pouted.
"You can call it whatever you want, such as the Evil God, the Chaos Power, and the Four Hawkers......... The title is just a title, a referent, not that we call them evil gods, they are really evil gods. After all, each civilization has a different definition of a god, and I believe that when you conquered the planet of Guishun, it was not uncommon for you to see the local natives worship you as gods. β
"That's true."
Marius nodded, there were once some natives of the planet who saw them and regarded them as gods, and this kind of example is not uncommon.
"People will surrender to a powerful force that they cannot comprehend and treat it as a god, the same thing."
"Aren't you afraid, then? Inquisitor? β
Marius looked at Duanmu Huai, who smiled.
"You know what? Company commander, there is a saying in the courtroomβββ all fear comes from lack of firepower. β
As he spoke, Duanmu Huai raised his war hammer and swung it forward.
"That is, as long as you have enough firepower to destroy everything, then you have nothing to fear."
"When I get back, I'll suggest that my primordial add this sentence to his notes."
"Don't set up a flag, we're all here, what do you think?"
"The Clock Tower has indeed gone wrong, the malicious premise has been established, and we can report what happened here to the original body."
Marius looked around again.
"I don't know what to say, but it turns out that the Whisperers carried out a massacre on this ship, they killed almost all of the crew on this ship, and used their flesh and blood to transform into some kind of terrible monster........."
"Vamplets, the inferior ground units of the Tyrannical Fury, are not worth mentioning."
ββ¦β¦β¦ and the mutated Whisperers and Legionnaires. β
"That's the power that the evil gods have given them, and to be honest, it's not a big deal."
Duanmu Huai snorted lightly, but Marius knew that things were not as easy as he said, he had also fought with a mutated world-eater before, and the other party's strength was even stronger, it was not exercised, but some kind of powerful power that Marius had never encountered before, and even he was almost knocked to the ground. Not only that, but these Astartes were not afraid of death, and their bodies were extremely tough, their blasters could break their arms and tear their chests apart, but they kept moving forward as if they were completely unharmed.
Such an enemy is just as difficult to deal with even the experienced Astartes, but they are so vulnerable in front of Duanmu Huai, and the other party wields the war hammer in his hand, almost one by one.
Of course, it is understandable that Duanmu Huai did this, after all, he feels very fierce, but ...............
Thinking of this, Marius looked at Lorena who was walking beside Duanmu Huai with a complicated expression.
"Excuse me, I'd like to ask......... How did this young lady do it? β
That's right, the most incomprehensible thing for Marius is the battle between Ogis and Lorena, Ogis is good to say, Marius has not seen the strange methods of psionics, even if he can't understand it, at least he can accept it. But Lorena didn't understand, how did such a petite girl manage to send a mutated Astarte directly away with her bare hands?
"Exercise, of course, company commander!"
However, Lorena's answer surprised Marius.
"Workout?"
"That's right! Be persistent every day, squatting on the horse, swinging your fist a hundred times, praying a hundred times, and throwing your fist a hundred times! Only in this way will you be able to have a healthy body and enough power to cleanse the demons! β
Consistent workout???
Marius was confused, they Astarte are also training persistently, and they have been training for hundreds of years, but you told me that you have been training for more than ten years, and you can fly Astarte?
So what is the value of our existence???
He looked at Duanmu Huai as if asking for help, hoping that he could give an answer.
"Don't look at me, Lorena is like this, I don't have the ability to do this."
Duanmu Huai spread out his hands and made a helpless expression.
Well, maybe this young lady is a special case.
The bridge gate opens.
The stench was uncomfortable, and the splinters of flesh that littered the deck were disgusting, but even more unacceptable was the massive monster in the middle of the bridge, which looked like a giant brain, and countless nerves that extended from beneath it and coiled around the Contemplative Terminal, which had taken over the battleship and was maneuvering it forward.
And in front of it, stood a tall Chaos Space Marine.
"I didn't expect you to be here."
He turned his back to the crowd and spoke, then slowly turned his headβββ they saw the Emblem of the World-Destroyer on his body, and at the same time, he also saw the armor of Duanmu Huai.
"Damn bastard!"
He grabbed a flaming blade, and the rotting wings behind him suddenly opened.
"It's you! You killed our primordial! Murderer!! β
"I'll miss Angelon's screams."
Duanmu Huai smiled and stepped forward with a war hammer.
"And you're all you can do now, O World."
"I'll avenge the original."
The other party clenched his big sword and glared at Duanmu Huai viciously, and beside him, several world-shatterers and demons from the subspace were also full of killing intent and anger.
"Tyrannical Fury himself may not dare to speak to me like this here, but you guys who have gained a little bit of the dregs of the power of the evil god dare to speak out here?"
Duanmu Huai grabbed the war hammer and held it high.
"In the name of the Inquisition, I will send you to be reunited with your original body, and your souls will burn together in the flames of the Inquisition, wailing until they are completely reduced to ashes."
Both sides were silent for a second.
Then the next moment, the battle began again.
