Chapter 169: The Holy Cube
"Forgive me." Vic muttered and reached out and tapped rhythmically 44 times at the base of the spherical STC.
He never stopped researching this STC, and in the course of his research, he gradually discovered that this thing had a backdoor, which could not be destroyed by ordinary means, but could be destroyed with a backdoor.
After the tapping is over, the STC projects a holographic menu with two options.
Urgent destruction.
Emergency function.
One of Vic's mechanical arms stretched from his back to the top of his head, rubbing his hooded head, and he wondered.
After thinking for half a second, Vic tried to tap the emergency mode.
There's only one hint left on the holographic menu: Say.
Vic prayed with a binary prayer before asking, "I need to get rid of the incoming enemy." ”
The STC template immediately projects a blue beam of light to scan the surrounding environment.
The metal that makes up the walls is rapidly decreasing, and something is being printed in the center of the passage.
The mechanical arm and various weapons on Vic's body were also scanned by the beam and then vanished, all of which were used to print things quickly.
The result is an iron man.
When Vic saw this iron man, he suddenly remembered, isn't this the iron man he was ordered to blow up with a hot melt bomb when he was tested in Tyrone's Nest that day?
It's just that the weapon equipment is different, one hand is an energy weapon, and the other is a blade.
The color scheme is also different, and there are some differences in appearance, which looks like an enhanced and improved version.
As Vic pondered, the six Chaos Space Marines of the Oath Betrayal Gang had already arrived in front of him, and they had seen the Iron Man in the center of the tunnel, thinking it was a Castellan droid but it didn't look like it...... In the end, they didn't think much of it and immediately attacked.
The Iron Man moved slowly and awkwardly forward, his hand-integrated weapon shooting out beams.
Six Space Marines dodge the beam in various poses and approach the Iron Man, their giant axes slashing at the Iron Man's metal shell, leaving only one scratch.
The infantry model of the Iron Man is very clumsy, but the energy beam it emits can melt a walkable passage on the metal wall, and the defense is not weak, and the size is large, and no one can think of passing through it in the middle of the passage, and the Chaos Space Marines will have to fight with it.
Amid the angry roars and grumblings of the Chaos Space Marines, the Iron Man was attacked again and again, leaving more and more slash marks on its shell.
Vic thinks the battle will go on forever, but Iron Man is actually analyzing and learning the enemy's attack patterns.
After dozens of slashes, Iron Man stopped firing, and turned his body to reach for his right hand in the path of the enemy in front of him, causing one of them to slam into the chest against the blade, and then split the unlucky man in two.
The battle that followed suddenly became much faster.
Iron Man is indeed clunky and slow, at least not yet. However, with each attack, it is as if it can predict the future, and the blade or energy beam can always appear in advance of the enemy's trajectory.
After quickly taking out four more executioners, only the last Chaos Space Marine with a giant axe remains.
The Space Marine's power armor is thicker than the others, and it doesn't have the same bare arms as the Executionmasters.
Iron Man tried to kill him by analyzing his trajectory but was unsuccessful, and no matter how narrow the passage was, he was always able to dodge attacks and slash backhand with amazing skills.
After repeating this cycle a few times, Iron Man realized that he could not win by analyzing and learning, but there was another combat plan with a chance of success of more than 80%.
"Give me death!"
Vic watched as the Chaos Space Marine roared and swung his axe at the deepest slash mark on the Iron Man's shell, while the Iron Man took two steps back, the partial shell of his chest lifted to reveal the fusion reactor inside.
The reactor unleashed a torrent of energy directly in front of it, melting the great axe and the Space Marines wielding the weapon into ashes.
The battle is over. The Iron Man's chest shell closes, and it turns towards Vic.
"Praise the God of Machines, praise the Om Messiah, praise the primordial power...... Vic praised everything in surprise, and at the same time, the STC template in his hand released a beam of light, transforming the iron man into materials, and then into Vic's mechanical arm and various weapons.
As for the metal materials obtained from the walls, they were printed into a cube and landed in front of Vic.
Vic pounced on the cube, figuring out ways to get the thing away.
It's just a cube and it doesn't do anything else, but in Vic's opinion, it's a holy relic, and it can be named the Holy Cube, and its mere existence has a huge significance.
"End of deployment. For the Ohm Messiah, for the God of Chances. ”
Vic suddenly receives an unencrypted communication, an open message to everyone in the war zone, not a secret order to a field marshal or officer alone, which can be transmitted by even the most rudimentary communication device.
The door to the chamber opened, and Sewyn, who was holding four power swords and four ancient technology pistols, rushed out to fight to the death, but he didn't see the enemy, only Vic staring at a metal cube.
Vic quickly encrypts the video he just recorded and sends it to his friend, and Severn receives it and spends time watching it before falling into deep thought.
"We don't have time to think about it right now, you have to find a way to get the invaders out, at least the invaders inside the fortress." Vic said.
"Use your reminder." Sewyn turned back into the chamber, closed his eyes and began to make more subtle arrangements.
His consciousness travels through the bodies of each of his subordinates, helping the soldiers who are battling the remaining enemies to make the best choices in battle.
……
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
Severn and Vic didn't die in the previous raids, and they also eliminated the other enemies who arrived in the drop pod at a great cost, the only fly in the ointment was that the Dread Claw drop pod took off back to the battleship, but this is also a good thing, after all, desecrated creations like this are to be erased by waste.
The invasion has been going on for a whole month.
Severn still vividly remembers that seven hundred solar hours ago, the enemy's attack on the Foundry World turned from a small-scale assault decapitation battle to a large-scale invasion, and more and more transports arrived in the orbit of the Foundry World, and then used the blasphemous creations to transport troops to the surface to fight.
The war intensified.
On this night, Severn was still engrossed in directing the battle with his eyes closed as usual, as well as "attached" to the front-line troops to control his subordinates in battle.
Vic recites binary prayers and anointments of holy oil around metal cubes, and walks around in circles with incense.
The ceremony was not a pleasant one.
From time to time, the roar of the Titan's whistle came into the secret room, and the sound of the general cannon firing, the sound of the cannon and the light spear bombarding the ground, and the gunfire and artillery of those ground troops engaged in the battle never stopped.
"What's going on now?" After the ceremony, Vic asks his old friend.
Sewin opened his eyes and told the truth helplessly: "I controlled a data craftsman to use observation equipment to check the orbit, and saw that more and more enemy warships were converging on the orbit, and those latecomers were printed in red on their hulls, obviously the void battle in the surrounding galaxy was not going well, and the enemy could free up more warships to carry out orbital bombardment." ”
Needless to say, Vic already realized that something was wrong.
The Forge World is not without a predetermined defense plan, and it does take into account that the traitors who are wandering in the Eye of Fear may join forces to attack.
But who would have thought that the Red Pirates would intervene, they are simply like angels on the enemy's side, and they enter the war without even mentioning any benefits. Vic didn't understand what they thought, even if they took the Forge World, how much benefit would they have from the various traitor groups? Is it worth it?
In short, the fleet of the Red Pirates unexpectedly intervened in the war, directly turning the predetermined plan into a joke.
"How many moons and planets do we have in our system?"
"What did you say?"
Vic was still communicating with Sewyn without emotional fluctuations, but he was very surprised.
After Sewwin asked a question about the bull's head not being in the horse's mouth, he opened his eyes and looked at Vic, directly sharing what he saw.
Vic's one-eyed electronic eye saw beyond the Chamber of Secrets.
On a battlefield where infantry on both sides were dying, a soldier stumbled upon a glance at the sky as he charged.
Two black moons and a smaller black planet loom in the dim skies of the Foundry World.
After reading it, Vic calmly said, "Ohm Messiah is with us. ”
