Chapter 204, Great Demon
The so-called 'demon' is a powerful entity that is neither real nor illusory, does not need to obey the laws of physics in the material world, and its very existence is a distortion of reality.
According to relevant research, demons exist in the abyss of chaos, where the dark side of the universe and the world of pure energy exist.
Demons can only enter the real universe under certain conditions, such as being summoned during a ritual or an abyssal rift that appears somewhere. But even then, they can't stay in the real universe for long.
If you have to do this, you need to drag a part of the Chaos Abyss into reality and cover a part of the real world, which is the so-called demon world; Or, it's either tied to a host, either a machine or a living being.
And the 'Great Demon' refers to the strongest type of demon.
The demons that can be called this are all the most terrible enemies that humanity has to face.
Depending on the situation to which it belongs, there are also different types of demons that manifest themselves.
Very few people have seen the Great Demon with their own eyes, and the vast majority of those who have seen it have died.
But Martins and Rizzo were among the lucky few.
Their warband, during the Atonement Crusade, fought against the plague cult. By the time the undead reached that planet, the war had actually entered its final stage.
Humanity has failed.
The mission of the Immortal Birds is to assist the last Imperial army in its retreat from the planet.
On the battlefield, Martins saw something similar to the monster he was looking at.
It was the plague demon who was classified as the Great Impure.
Wielding a rusty greatsword, it is invincible on the battlefield, with guns, missiles, laser cannons, ...... All kinds of weapons bombarded its body, as if it were tickling; Even if it can cause real damage, it will recover in a very short time.
There are two warbands involved in the battle, in addition to their immortal birds, there is also a warband wearing a red cross-striped livery on a blue background, called the Iris Knight Warband.
He saw with his own eyes that the Iris Knight's warband, under the cover of fire from multiple tactical teams, led his Glory Guard, fully dressed in Terminator Power Armor, charged in front of the Great Impurity.
In the duel, the rusty giant sword swept by the great impurity easily slashed one glorious veteran after another; The battle leader, brave and fearless, did not waste the sacrifice of his fighting brothers, found an opportunity to leap high, and the Seiko Power Sword pierced one of the Great Demon's eyes, and then pulled down hard, with another eye, and half of the head was cut open.
But that's about it. Although the Power Sword stabbed half of his head, and the Great Demon's rusty greatsword was slashed by the other two Battle Brothers, they were unable to defeat the Great Impure in the end.
The other thick arm that still existed grabbed the war commander and slammed it to the ground, and then trampled him to death with one foot; Then, his large, half-cut skull snapped shut up, and with his head down, he bit down on a Terminator veteran, the corrosive saliva that brittled the armor and cut it in two with a single exertion of his sharp teeth.
By the way, the remaining hand he still had picked up the giant sword that had fallen to the ground, and killed another person with a sweep......
Martins watched from afar, and a warband leader with an elite Glory Guard, all Terminator Power Armor, and at least thirty tactical teams full of hot-melted, plasma, and heavy explosive weapons were killed by a great impurity.
It cannot be said that those iris knights did not fight bravely, and they did not flinch when they fought to the last man.
But they were still slaughtered by the great impure one, by the various monsters that kept swarming out behind him.
The Iris Knights are a relatively new warband, and their combat experience is still relatively weak. But so what? In the same battle situation, wouldn't it be much better if the immortal bird went up to fight?
Martins doesn't think so.
The Immortal Bird's warband leader at the time didn't think so either.
At the time, there were still people in the warband who wanted to go up to support the Iris Knights, but their warband leader rejected the idea.
The Iris Knights killed a bunch of people, and they can go back to their home planet to recuperate, but they were on the Atonement Expedition at the time, and they can't afford to lose.
It is enough to complete their mission, and it is their task to cover the withdrawal of friendly troops as much as possible from one aspect.
Of course, seeing death and not saving it also made the people of the Iris Knight Wargroup very dissatisfied with this, and they hated the immortal bird a little, and the relationship between the two sides became bad.
But that's a later story, so I won't mention it too much.
The reason why he recalled that time was because the appearance of the Great Impure One in front of him had awakened his memory.
This monster was almost exactly what he had seen at the time; Behind this big demon, above the demon engine, an abyssal gap about two meters long and half a meter wide really opened, and there were three or four demons, crowded there, scrambling to get out.
If it's really the Great Impure, then it's over.
Everyone present must die.
Martins even shuddered.
His thoughts drifted far away for a moment.
The warband has just been given the hope of a new life, and new blood is being cultivated, what will happen if they die here today?
What if they all died here, and the abyssal rift that appeared on that demon engine grew bigger and bigger, and finally formed a wave of demons that swept the world? Can the new blood of the warband escape?
"Attention, pay attention."
Rizzo's prompt dragged Martins back from his delusion.
Rizzo's voice continued: "This is not the one we ran into back then, they are different. ”
This sentence further helped Martins regain his senses.
He took a closer look, but found nothing unusual, and felt that there was no difference in all aspects, whether it was the coercion brought by the spirit, the appearance, and the suffocating stench.
As if sensing Martins' doubts, Rizzo explained further: "The surrounding environment. ”
It dawned on Martins.
Indeed, as Rizzo said, the existence of demons needs to be supported by the surrounding environment. The crack that led to the chaotic abyss did dissipate part of the aura of the chaotic abyss to the real world, but the rift was too small, and the time to open it was not enough. This level of coverage of the real world should not be sufficient to support the appearance of the most terrible enemy of the Great Impurity.
At the moment, this may be a showcase?
But what if this judgment is wrong?
"We're going to go no matter what." Rizzo said, "We have no room to back down, the Abyssal Rift is best resolved at this time, and procrastination will only make the problem bigger." ”
"I understand." Martins took a deep breath and quickly began to set up combat missions.
……
Gwagga......
Or rather, the Great Impure, who temporarily uses the name of Gwagaga, has long been aware of the humans who have entered the same dimension.
But he didn't care.
For him, those insects are not worth mentioning, and it is only right to take advantage of this time to expand the abyss rift as much as possible.
It's just a bit slow.
He shook a huge bell—or rather, a brass bell—and made a loud noise, and the evil spell fought for contact with the inner body of the abyss. Thanks to his efforts, this abyssal rift was finally expanded a little. At the very least, the demons who were scrambling to get out of it were now easier to get out.
But Gwagaga was still not satisfied.
The Linghua gas field that supports it here is a bit small in scale; The previous Despair Ritual was not completed to perfection, so it was forced to advance the plan, so that the energy extracted from the spiritual qi field was still a bit slow to transform into the chaotic power of despair.
But that's it, there's no way.
As for whether it will be destroyed by those guys outside......
Hmph, the great Godwagah has come here through the flesh of that mortal. Although the origin of the physical body was not strong enough, and there was not enough time for him to drag his abyssal essence out of the rift, he still did not feel that there was anything on this planet that could threaten him and drive him out of the real world.
However, when those guys did rush out, he was stunned.
Especially the one that rushed to the front, the red and huge Terminator Power Armor, reminded him of some not-so-beautiful things.
Once, when conquering and devouring a planet, he was blinded by a group of similar, differently painted guys, with two eyes, half of his head cut off, and one of his hands cut off.
Although, in the end, he still won, but it also took him some time to repair those injuries.
Onslaught, full of human courage, is much more serious and difficult to recover from than the wounds inflicted by guns.
It took him decades to get back to his peak in the most recent days.
After regaining his full strength, he began to continue to serve his loving father non-stop, taking over the invasion of a small world. There is also a mortal who has received the grace of a loving father, and it is a good bridge.
At this point, he thought that everything was almost done, and the whole world was about to fall into his hands. Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, among the human insects who came here, there were also nasty space marines.
It's still a Terminator power armor.
He wasn't very happy.
On the one hand, it reminds him of some not-so-good memories, and on the other hand, he gets a little nervous.
If it were a normal time, he would have killed the four Space Marines, as well as the human soldiers who followed them, just casually.
But now, the essential strength of his coming here is not enough, and he will really be a little nervous.
Instead of holding it up, he withdrew his expansion of the abyssal rift, but raised the bronze bell in his hand and shook it violently towards the humans who rushed forward.
In his body, among the many abscesses and broken wounds, a large number of monsters suddenly appeared.
Plague flies!
Plague flies the size of puppies flew out in large numbers, and along with the many plague bearers and plague spirits that had just escaped from the abyssal rift, they launched a charge towards the humans.
All of a sudden, the red laser beam was a masterpiece!
The human soldiers who followed closely behind the Space Marines aimed their firepower at these monsters with very superb marksmanship.
Gwaggar the Great Impure had to admit that apart from the Space Marines, none of the other human soldiers were weak.
His little babies were shot many times in this round.
He felt angry, he roared, and the rusty greatsword in his hand slashed at the space marines who rushed to the front!
The sword of the Great Impure seemed to have no skill, just a hard slash, but Martins, who bore the brunt of it, felt that he had nowhere to hide. He could only roar angrily, raise the power sword in his hand, and attack upward.
According to his old memory, whoever tried to resist the greatsword of the Great Impurity was killed with a single sword.
He couldn't figure out what would happen to him first, so he had to do his best.
The rusty greatsword fell.
But in the midst of the 'sonorous' sound, Martins actually carried it!
Although he felt that he was suffering the heaviest slash he had ever encountered in his life, he still relied on his firm will and the strong support provided by the 'Righteous Type' Terminator Power Armor to carry the sword.
Gvargah hated!
Before, he was still praising the owner of his body for making the right choice, combining with him, being devoured by him, and allowing him to descend into this world; Now, he is scolding this body for its weakness, so much so that the strength of the body that he descended and transformed is at most only one percent of what he was in his heyday!
But what else can be done?
He increased his strength as he shook the bell violently with the other.
The dark green psionic energy visible to the naked eye, converging with the swing of the pendulum, seemed to condense some kind of terrifying power.
But at this moment, Gwagaga felt his strength suddenly weaken by three points, and he couldn't even suppress Martins.
Taking advantage of the sudden decrease in pressure, the warband leader pushed the giant sword away, then raised his other hand, and the heavy explosive bomb fiercely blasted towards the fat intestines exposed from the stomach of the Great Impurity.
Thick pulp, stinky blood, and the huge body of the demon who had been hit took a few steps back—he sadly found that he even had a much lower damage resistance.
You can't fight like that.
He looked back at the priest next to Martins.
He held the emblem of the puppet emperor on his chest and recited the disgusting scriptures.
This is the culprit who has weakened his strength.
It dispelled the influence of the Abyss, causing Gwaggar to receive less support from the Abyssal Rift.
But this priest is obviously not as difficult to deal with as the guy in the Terminator Power Armor.
Gwagwaga viciously aimed the bell at him, blasting the unfinished accumulation, but already terrifying enough, into it!
