Emperor's Bane

Chapter 163 The Victor

Ran Dan's emperor has come.

It appeared in the scarlet and exuberant light like the throat of a wild beast, stepped on the death and silence from the horizon, and came to this battlefield.

No one can see its face clearly, even Morgan who opened his third eye can't do this, every warrior who tries to discern its face, if his pupils are not killed by the dazzling light Death, if his spirit is not distorted by that crazy will, then all he can see is a pair of the most mighty and sacred armor, bathed in the boundless light like a star.

And in that boundless light, some people saw the most distorted monster, some saw the scariest skull, and some saw the most powerful opponent who was only one step away from killing themselves: everyone, no matter who they are What exactly is his courage and wisdom? When he looks at the alien emperor, he will only see the most fearful thing in his heart.

Those fears that they didn't expect, are now breaking through their defense line with an unstoppable and conquering momentum, just like the most tenacious resistance, and they are just annoying grasshoppers in the summer night.

Ran Dan's emperor, it may be a full ten meters high, when it walks, runs, and kills the Space Wolves at the fastest speed, the wave it sets off is stronger than the most united Martian Titan Legion Terrible, the sword light it wields is more powerful than the salvo of the most magnificent battle fleet.

Block it and you will die.

To look directly at it will be frightening.

Both the Astartes and the Primarchs felt fear: to feel instincts they theoretically no longer had.

For a moment, Leman Russ even really felt that his loyalty was challenged and shaken. When the huge neighing, killing and footsteps were captured by his senses, the wolf king of Fenris only felt His fingers even felt numb, as if he had fallen into the deepest trench.

Whether it was the violent eternal winter of Fenris, or the small anger of the Lord of Men because of his two failures, or what he faced in the Great Crusade, there are countless and can be said, None of the [creatures] that could be said had brought him this feeling, the feeling that was closest to fear.

The Primarch of the Sixth Legion recognized in an instant that this fear did not come from his body, but from his soul.

But despite this, Leman Russ still did not stop his mission.

Sweat was dripping and sticking to every inch of the Primarch's skin: in a matter of seconds, the two scions of the Emperor had reached incredible heights of efficiency, almost ignoring the outside world. Everything, put all your strength into the work of destroying the device in front of you.

In the time it takes a mortal to blink his own eye, Morgan has squeezed his own soul power, pointing out hundreds of gaps and loopholes, while Leman Russ is wielding the Dionysian Spear: this even he needs The magical weapon that can only be danced with all its strength, leaves shocking holes in every pointed target.

Hundreds of thrusts, each of which required the two Primarchs to use up all their remaining strength to ensure that it would not need to be repeated.

【the last one. 】

Morgan's trembling, trembling voice, which was also trying to keep calm in the boundless fear and dread, echoed in Leman Russ' ears. At the same time, the last cluster of light appeared on Leman Russ's body. In my eyes, that is the last point of the mark.

The Wolf King didn't hesitate at all, he raised the Dionysian Spear in his palm, and stabbed down with all his strength.

Destroying the solid shell of the [Destiny Engine] is undoubtedly a very difficult task. This terrifying device that gathers all the hopes, despair, and ambitions of the entire race, mixed with the profane technology from the subspace, itself is an existence Above the blurred line between reality and fantasy, even the most powerful orbital bombardment could not hurt it: except that the Emperor himself bestowed on Leman Russ, the magic weapon that contained the power of the Lord of Men.

With the mighty power of the Primarch, coupled with the control of the Spider Queen, and the seal in the Dionysus' Spear, it comes from the will of the Lord of Humanity: the cooperation and joint efforts of these three have smashed the so-called The existence of [Destiny Engine].

This container, created and blessed by the gods of the endless furnace in the sea of ​​souls, is as majestic and majestic as a mountain. Leman Russ must use all his strength to shake it again and again: the outer shell is broken, the mechanical The screaming, twisted pipes and tight metal that were originally indestructible finally appeared like majestic glaciers scorched by the scorching sun, with shockingly huge scars appearing one after another.

Just like a hard paper bag wrapped in water, this creation, which was carefully balanced by luck and manipulation, finally burst open completely with the wolf king's roar and swing: Although it was comparable to the hive city, The wolf king's body is not something that the wolf king can provoke, but with the help of Morgan, a towering and twisted gap, wider and huge than that of a warlord-level titan, was finally forced by the unstoppable power of the Dionysus' spear. Born on the strongest shell, it was chiseled out.

The thick shell of hundreds of meters was completely destroyed by the power of the Primarch, and the fear contained in it: souls, countless souls, countless souls, even if the wisdom of Morgan and Magnus were gathered together, It is also impossible to count the complete souls, so like a tsunami inspired and drawn, they scrambled to the vast world and rushed to the two panting Primarchs.

What kind of terrifying power is that? Countless beings screaming in death, betrayal and torture, their anger and grievances are expanding day by day, and their number is even more terrifying: even Morgan All the souls that have been killed, devoured, and utilized so far, all added together, are far from the tip of the iceberg of this power.

This terrible wave: it can completely destroy a Primarch mentally.

The wolf king gritted his teeth, and he ordered his body to recover from the exhausted weakness as quickly as possible, but this still couldn't stop the wave from rushing in front of him.

And at this moment, Morgan's palm touched Ruth's shoulder armor

The Spider Queen of the Second Legion is gnashing her teeth, her face has become extremely ferocious and terrifying.

In the face of this endless wave of howling souls, Morgan issued an inviolable death order to her own will: blood was left on the corner of her mouth, her mind was screaming at all costs,

Finally, she temporarily restrained this wave of destruction, and she seized the shortest opportunity, which was not even a breath, and recited the simplest mantra.

In the next second, the figures of Morgan and Leman Russ fell in the distance, watching the destructive wave begin to destroy everything around them recklessly, just like a tsunami ravaging a fragile fishing village.

Leman Russ watched this scene, he took two heavy breaths, and stood up impatiently.

"ended?"

[To be on the safe side, we'd better expand the gap. 】

"Then you do it."

【…? 】

Panting heavily, Morgan looked at her blood relatives, wanting to ask for clarification, but she soon realized that this was a pointless move, because Leman Russ' actions couldn't be more obvious.

Without stopping for a moment, when Leman Russ recovered a little bit of strength, he eagerly entered the state of fighting and running wildly. Holding his ax and the spear of Dionysus, he was rushing to the distance. go.

There, the cries and battle cries of thousands of space wolves are earth-shattering, but they are shrinking at a frightening speed. Every time the shortest moment passes, there are hundreds of roaring voices completely disappear.

In contrast, the scarlet star is only one step away from the [Engine of Destiny].

The moment Morgan was astonished, the wolf king of Fenris had disappeared from her vision. Morgan gritted her teeth, and she commanded her voice to penetrate distance and space and echo in Leman Russ' mind. .

【return!Leman Russ!There are more important things here! 】

The wolf king didn't stop. In a few breaths, he had crossed countless hills and burning ruins. His eyes were wide open, the corners of his mouth were closed, and his face was unusually solemn.

And in the sea of ​​souls, this berserk Primarch was almost grabbing the collar of his blood relative, roaring angrily, she could even feel the hot and dry air from Fenris hitting her face and pupils.

------

"important things?!"

"I'm telling you, Morgan!"

"Did you see that there! Those are my sons! They are fighting! Bleeding! Died in hordes!"

"I have to get there! I have to fight with them! For me! That's the most important thing!"

Morgan gritted her teeth, she called her psychic power, flew to the crumbling soul cage, and continued her mission, her vicious voice echoed in Leman Russ' mind for a long time.

【It's stronger than you think! 】

[Leman Russ!you will die! 】

What answered her was a loud laugh and a response without hesitation, which happened in the shortest moment.

"yes."

"Then remember to collect the body for me."

No more answers.

And when Morgan looked at the sea of ​​souls of her blood relatives again, she only heard endless courage, faith, and battle cries.

There were more things that she couldn't comprehend right away.

------

massacre.

This is carnage.

In the eyes of ordinary people, in a completely negligible fragment of time, Ran Dan's emperor had already reached the edge of the [Engine of Destiny]. He walked from one side of the battlefield to the other, and no one could stop it.

Even the space wolves, the endless space wolves, they rushed from the battlefield that had already been breached, maybe thousands of people, maybe tens of thousands.

But it makes no sense.

The Emperor strode forward, unstoppable, and with a single blow he split an unbridgeable and offensive chasm in the iron-grey tide of the Astartes, where thousands of Astartes warriors fought. They were shot down to death, and more sons of Russ were thrown into the sky by the slightest aftermath, falling heavily, even the strongest will could not support them to stand up quickly.

The Legion was routed.

The Emperor, it took less than a second to complete the blow, and another less than a second, across the crumbling Legion, it was already at the side of its beloved creation, and just then, it heard a The last voice I want to hear.

That was the sound of breaking, the sound of countless souls being released, which meant that this cage was no longer perfect, but had a fatal gap.

Even the greatest will, the most majestic monarch, stagnated at this moment, and a feeling about fate and the future attacked it, making it not make any movements at this moment, just sighing and sighing .

And when it quickly recovered its mind and was about to rush to the gap and try to make up for it, it saw that figure.

Everyone saw that figure.

He leaps high, stronger and more dashing than any great hero.

That was Leman Russ.

What flashed before him was the sharp edge of Dionysus' spear.

one strike.

Amidst the cheers and howls of all the Space Wolves, there was a confrontation between the two most powerful beings.

The huge claws of the Alien Emperor pierced the Primarch's arm, and the strongest and thickest armor split like a dry leaf, and the blood that belonged to the Primarch was stained red.

And Ruth's Dionysian spear pierced the air and gravity, leaving a gap, a fleeting light, in Emperor Randan's most magnificent armor.

Both fighters were roaring, exhausting their strength, and then involuntarily being forced back by the backlash of the battle.

The alien emperor took a step back, and the Primarch fell to the ground and rolled a few times before barely regaining his footing.

But even so, the unscathed Emperor Randan's face was indeed cold, while the blood-soaked Leman Russ showed a smile amidst the cheers and exclamations of his children.

"Kill me, or stay here."

Looking at his opponent, the Primarch spat out these words, and raised his Dionysian spear once more.

charge!

charge!

It's as if the gods have gambled on all great heroes, and they are carrying out their charges and tragedies.

The Primarch was roaring, fighting, squeezing all his strength and skills again and again, and stood firm under the attack of this unstoppable enemy.

Leman Russ swung his spear round and struck a blow, while at the same time, his opponent had already swung at least ten blows, each of which hit his body and arms, and every second, such The duel has to be played multiple times.

When the nearest Space Wolves rushed here, their genetic father had completely become a blood man, retreating steadily under the alien attack.

But even so, Leman Russ was still smiling.

In the duel that no one could see clearly, in the midst of trying to keep up with this powerful opponent, the wolf king of Fenris stared at the unscathed alien emperor in front of him, and uttered the only sentence.

"I don't need to win."

"Is not it?"

He smiled.

Accompanied by his laughter, when the battle and massacre lasted only a few tens of seconds, another explosion came.

This time, it was completely earth-shattering.

[Engine of Destiny] is shaking, roaring, and disintegrating.

Under the offensive of a Primarch who does not hesitate to do anything, he died completely.

The gap, the huge gap, is enough to tear apart a hive city, and now, it has appeared on the side of the cage, and billions of souls are escaping batch after batch in the pumping of every heartbeat , shattered, ceased to exist.

Finally, the face of the Alien King had turned into complete ice, and he tried desperately to drive away, but was stopped again and again: by this laughing, savage, and scarred victor.

Silence was lit.

【enough! 】

Finally, the roar of the alien and the emperor echoed in the sea of ​​souls.

Ran Dan's emperor took a step forward, it didn't stop Leman Russ' attack, it let the Dionysus' spear slam into its chest, piercing through the armor, leaving blood.

And at this moment, it clenched its fist, and before the Primarch could react at all, it hit Leman Russ's blond head hard.

one strike.

The Primarch fell, and his breath became extremely weak, and he could not even make the sound of roaring and laughing.

His battle ax was completely torn apart by this blow, and the Dionysus' spear broke away from his fingers and rolled to the ground.

The Emperor moved forward again, trying to get there, or kill the cubs in sight, but it was all for naught: all the Space Wolves pounced on them.

The endless iron gray without even the slightest hesitation, thousands of Ruth's descendants rushed to their genetic father amid endless roars and shouts to protect him.

Slaughtered, slaughtered, robbed of their souls and lives, squeezed into flesh and blood that exploded without hesitation... Nothing could stop them. In the shortest time, hundreds of the best Space Wolves Died by the side of his genetic father, stopped the alien emperor with his own life and footsteps, until the anger came to it again.

"die."

It spoke, and began to emit enough power to destroy everyone.

And at this moment, it heard a cold scolding.

------

[Go away! 】

【You damn alien! 】

------

The alien emperor raised his head, and he only saw a pair of blue pupils burning with genuine anger.

In the next second, she spat out blood, large streams of blood.

Accompanied by the blood, the most turbulent wave came. It was the released prisoners in the [Engine of Destiny]. Under the guidance and command of this all-out effort, they formed a wave capable of destroying everything and rushed towards Ran Dan the Emperor.

They can't kill it.

But enough to stall for time.

Delay the most precious seconds.

Morgan was breathing, and she felt a sense of weakness, attacking her mind unscrupulously, forcibly commanding such a huge and resentful force, making the corners of her mouth, her heart, and her soul bleed.

She simply won't do that.

But she did.

This is something that even Morgan himself cannot explain and understand in a short time.

But she didn't have time to think, and in this shortest opportunity, she once again used her remaining strength, even not hesitating to let more blood and chaos run rampant in her mind.

Finally, she called for a door, a door that could lead to the surface of Taxus V, a door that led to existence.

Without any hesitation, she tossed in a dying Leman Russ and any Space Wolves she could see who were still fighting.

She didn't have time to think about anything else, she just remembered that before the Space Wolves, she threw her offspring into it as well, wrapping them with the most basic layer of protection.

Normally, or even just now, it would be a blink of an eye to accomplish all this, but now, Morgan was so weak that he had to order himself to do these things.

It was only a few seconds until all this was done, and Ran Dan's emperor had already let out its roar. In front of its roar, the wave of the soul was temporarily shattered, and Morgan had also come to the door.

At the last moment, her gaze flicked to the wounded and fallen Space Wolves and Dionysus spears in the distance.

She didn't hesitate.

The last chance was used to grab the weapon bestowed by the Emperor himself, and Morgan disappeared through the door.

Only Ran Dan's emperor was left, it was silent, looking at the dead [Engine of Destiny].

Make up some kind of resolution.
