From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 572 Chaos Throwing
Sizzle————!!

Amid the whistling sound of the heavy sword cutting through the air, the scarlet lightsaber's plasma burst like fragile glass. The heavy sword's blade cut through the adamantium armor and corrupted the flesh without hindrance, cutting Darth Vader's body into two pieces from bottom to top.

puff----!!

A black and purple viscous "blood waterfall" gushed out from the cross-section. The blood contaminated by chaotic energy condensed into a screaming demon face in mid-air, and then quickly vaporized and dissipated in the pure spiritual energy.

As for the Dark Lord who was split into two, he seemed to fall directly towards the broken surface.

The physical universe, which was gradually collapsing, returned to its original state in just a moment.

The flesh and vegetation quickly melted away, revealing the charred raw ground below. Seemingly countless scarlet eyes in the sky closed one after another, like stains wiped away by an invisible hand.

The chaotic creations transformed from the fallen soldiers collapsed one after another, and their bones turned into ashes as they moved forward.

However, the physical damage caused by the battle between "God" and "Devil" has become a permanent scar.

And spider-web-like chasms stretched from the bottom of the pit to the horizon, the light of molten lava surged in the depths, and the debris of buildings floating in the air were still and falling like tombstones, recording this battle beyond mortal understanding.

At this moment, the goddess of war Athena, or the Emperor's will that controls her, also ended her suspended state, fell back to the ground, and slowly walked towards the remains of Darth Vader.

The heavy sword transformed back into its original Spear of Victory, its crystal-like tip dragging golden sparks on the ground.

At the moment when those sparks fell to the ground, tiny phantoms of peony flowers actually grew. This was still a real structure, a brief vision produced under the influence of pure spiritual energy.

soon.

"Her" toenails stepped on the crystallized ground, and each step left a faintly glowing golden footprint on the scorched earth, while those eyes that were completely occupied by divinity were looking down at the dying Dark Lord.

There was neither pity nor contempt in those golden eyes, only an almost mechanical cold scrutiny.

The two halves of Darth Vader's body were still twitching.

Dark purple corrupted blood gushed out from the cross-section, but the moment it touched the ground, it evaporated into a foul-smelling mist.

This should have been the perfect chess piece for the Chaos Gods—

A natural born strongman,

The executioner who destroyed the Jedi Order himself,

A vengeful spirit who has endured the greatest pain of all, given enough time, Darth Vader could drag the entire Star Wars galaxy into a depths of corruption.

The Dark Lord will replicate the tragedy of Coruscant on every human world, nourishing the hungry gods of the Warp with pain and despair.

But the human emperor of the main universe did not give Darth Vader this opportunity.

Sui Yang's will flows through Athena's body.

He knew too well how Chaos worked. The longer he delayed, the deeper the corruption would become.

If Darth Vader, who has become a puppet of the gods, is handed over to his descendants, there is a small probability that they will act recklessly to prove themselves, or delay the opportunity to fight in competition with other primarchs.

However, the small probability will be infinitely magnified by the Chaos Gods.

Only if he, as a father, personally cuts off the root of the trouble can he eliminate all variables.

After all, since their father dealt with Darth Vader, the sons naturally would not have any complaints.

now;

Darth Vader's broken body gradually began to "struggle" violently, and chaotic energy intertwined at the broken surface like a wriggling maggot, trying to repair the severed container.

Flesh twists and grows, various tissues revive, and bones are reshaped in the purple-black energy - the blessings of the Chaos Gods are still stubbornly performing their final duties.

However, the inside of the body was already "empty".

At the moment when the Han-style heavy sword filled with pure spiritual energy cut off Darth Vader's body, Sui Yang's will had already rushed to the deeper "battlefield" -

In the cracks of the Warp, the Chaos Gods are clutching the soul of Anakin Skywalker.

It was a twisted spirit soaked in pain, anger, and hatred, with scarlet chains wrapped around its limbs, its chest cavity chiseled open and a beating chaos core stuffed in.

Threads of Slaanesh mended his lips, the brand of Khorne burned his back, and the runes of Tzeentch crawled across his eyeballs.

Sui Yang's attack was so fast that even the evil gods couldn't react.

Pure psionic energy pierces into the grasp of chaos like a sharp blade, accurately severing every corrosive bond.

The heavy sword not only cut off the flesh, but also struck a "conceptual stripping" that went straight to the essence, forcibly extracting Anakin Skywalker's existence from the chaotic narrative, and then temporarily "storing" his essence into the regional realm.

All of this was within Sui Yang's calculations. He first used Athena's "lack of psychic skills" as bait to lure Darth Vader into underestimating his enemy, and then took over control of the goddess' body at the most intense moment of the battle. Finally, he did not give Chaos any time to react and took his soul with one blow.

If the Primarchs were to handle the situation, it would likely end in a tug-of-war.

Every second of delay caused Chaos to corrupt Anakin's soul more deeply, and now, this chess piece that should have been an eternal threat has been plucked from the chessboard by the Emperor himself.

If the essence of his soul is still in Chaos, then Darth Vader can still be resurrected, and with the help of the sacrifice ceremony of his fleet, he can return to the physical universe to continue his cholera.

At this moment, Darth Vader's body suddenly spasmed violently, and then collapsed like a puppet with its strings cut.

The squirming chaotic energies lost their anchor and shrank back into the warp like the receding tide.

The complete fall of Darth Vader was like a heavy hammer that shattered the will of the Chaos army.

The fleet array that had originally tightly surrounded Tatooine immediately fell into terrible chaos after losing the command of the Dark Lord.

The captains and stormtrooper commanders roared wildly, some tore off their power shirts to reveal their bodies covered with fel runes, while others knelt on the ground and prayed hysterically to the warp.

Some of the warships went completely crazy.

Their energy shields overloaded and exploded, and their guns turned to bombard the surface of Tatooine indiscriminately.

The main gun array "plowed" a kilometer-long lava gully in the desert city, and various light beams directly evaporated a tunnel of flesh and blood for the refugee teams that were not evacuated in time.

The craziest thing was a transport ship blessed by Nurgle. It crashed directly into a seemingly intact area, and before the impact, the hull broke into countless plague-carrying meteorites.

Other warships began to kill each other.

Khorne's ships used rams to tear through the armor of their comrades, and Slaanesh's followers released sonic waves that could melt human flesh.

The Tzeentch wizards activated the self-destruct sequence just to create the most spectacular explosion to please their masters.

Countless corrupted flowers suddenly bloomed in the space, and debris dyed purple-red by the energy of the subspace fell like rain.

The very few sober ones turned around and tried to escape.

Most of these captains were officers of the Galactic Empire Navy who chose to obey the command of Darth Vader under the pressure after they lost their direct commanders. Even though they were inevitably corrupted by Chaos after carrying out various killing missions, they at least retained their last bit of sanity.

They shut down all communications to avoid being eroded by the Whispers of Chaos and pushed their engines into overload, preparing to force a hyperspace flight.

But the road to escape was equally bloody.

A star destroyer that attempted to enter hyperspace was entangled by huge flesh and blood tentacles that suddenly appeared, and disappeared amid screams of dimensional tearing.

On the surface of Tatooine, billions of people who had not yet evacuated became the most tragic sacrifices.

In the ruins of Anchorhead, a squad of Khorne-believing death soldiers were cutting off civilians' heads with swords and piling the skulls into a twisted eight-pointed star.

The nomadic tribes in the depths of the desert were driven into a corrupted steel altar. The screams of the creatures made the demon relief on the surface of the altar smile.

Some even witnessed a certain out-of-control shuttle sucking an entire group of refugees into its rotating turbine belly, with a "rainbow" of broken bones and blood mist spraying out of the exhaust ports.

The Imperial Fists led by Sigismund built a temporary defense base in the Gobi Desert about 200 kilometers south of Mos Eisley.

When the commander ordered all combat units to withdraw from the fleet and land on the surface, the engineering personnel accompanying the ship also voluntarily left the ship, and let all Hextech robots and the engineering department's Terminators, Hunters, and a large amount of building materials and equipment arrive in the Gobi area first using disposable airdrop warehouses.

Thousands of airdrop capsules smashed towards the predetermined coordinates, and these specially made capsules suddenly slowed down a hundred meters from the ground. The blue flames emitted by the reverse thrust engines melted the gravel into a glass-like landing platform.

The moment the hatch exploded, the first batch of Hextech engineering robots rushed out quickly. Their multi-jointed robotic arms had switched to construction mode. The buzzing of hydraulic drills and plasma welding guns instantly broke the silence of the Gobi Desert.

The efficiency of the engineering department is astonishing. A large number of dedicated hunters use "melta cannons" to level the foundation, and the high temperature sinters the sand into a hardened layer comparable to concrete.

The heavy units are responsible for excavating the rock walls and allowing Hextech robots to use the building materials that were also airdropped to the surface for construction. The micro units cover the prefabricated components like a swarm and weld them, making the joints stronger than the original ones.

It didn't take long before the outline of a base emerged.

With these machines, the Imperial Fists stranded on Tatooine no longer have to free up their already tight manpower for construction work.

As for the combat forces stranded on Tatooine, including more than a thousand Imperial Fists, there are still about 400,000, more than half of which are biological and mechanical weapons such as clones and Terminators.

At this moment, Sigismund was standing in the makeshift command center, watching the constantly updated troop statistics through the holographic screen displayed on the central console.

The numbers displayed on the holographic screen meant that they had lost more than 60% of their troops in the bloody battle after the fall of orbital control.

In order to cover the evacuation of civilians, a reorganized clone trooper unit was killed in a burning alley, and even Sigismund's personal guards lost more than half of their members.

There was no way. After all, Chaos had the advantage of orbital control. Coupled with the influence of Chaos psychic energy, Sigismund was in an absolutely disadvantageous position.

But now, the situation has turned around.

Images sent back by high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft show that there is a huge gap in the originally tight orbital blockade network, and at least one-third of the Chaos warships are killing each other.

The Chaos army on the surface lost unified command. Some were frantically slaughtering civilians, while others were kneeling on the ground praying and waiting for "oracle".

The most exciting thing is that those twisted warp rifts are shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

With the chaos on the side, this gave them space and time to breathe.

Moreover, with the help of 40,000 battle knights, battle nuns, the Iron Wing Knight Company, Nirenhog and the two goddesses, they are confident that they can deal with Chaos until the support sent by the Imperial Fists arrives.

As for Mos Eisley, a "migration" is underway.

Forty thousand combat knights and nuns formed a steel torrent, escorting hundreds of thousands of civilians towards the southern base.

These devout warriors advanced in neat phalanxes, their .50cal bolters pointed at the shadows where heretics might emerge.

The white-haired old men were carried on their backs in turn by the middle-aged men, and the children huddled in the bulletproof cloaks provided by the nuns. The entire team left a trail of life stretching for twenty kilometers on the sand dunes.

The Griffin Cavalry of the Iron Wing Knight Company circled at low altitude, and every dive would cause a bloody storm.

A griffin used its sharp claws to tear apart a heretic squad that attempted a sneak attack, and the riders' .75cal bolters accurately detonated the Chaos artillery array lurking behind the sand dunes.

Ri~——roar————! !

Nironhog spewed dragon breath from high in the sky, burning any gathered enemy groups to charcoal.

Hera walked at the front of the team, and with a wave of her slender hand, she built a translucent psychic barrier.

Stray bullets and energy weapons turned into ripples when they hit the barrier, and even the scorching explosions were filtered into soft warmth.

Occasionally, a heretic would escape her net and rush over, but would be immediately burned to ashes by the golden light bursting from her eyes.

In the devastated central city area, the goddess of war Athena is performing her final "purification ceremony".

She knelt on one knee in the center of the huge crystallized pit, with the Spear of Victory stuck upside down in the ground. With the infusion of divine power, the spear body glowed with a dazzling white light, and pure spiritual energy washed over every inch of polluted land like a tide.

The empty shell of Darth Vader twisted and struggled in the flames, and finally turned into a wisp of black smoke and completely dissipated, leaving no trace.

When she stood up, her eyes had returned to their deep blue color, but the golden flames were still flickering deep in her pupils.

But the goddess did not head south, but turned and walked alone into the depths of the desert.

The Spear of Victory left a straight trail on the sand, which was soon blown away by the hot wind.

Her figure gradually blurred in the heat wave and finally merged into the desert sandstorm outside the city.

In the direction she was heading, unmanned reconnaissance aircraft showed that a large number of Chaos remnants were gathering. Obviously, the Goddess of War's hunt was not over yet.

Without Chaos puppets like Darth Vader, even if the Emperor is no longer possessed, Athena is still the most powerful individual on Tatooine, no doubt about it.

Suddenly, the goddess of war looked up, as if looking directly at a Chaos Star Destroyer in low-Earth orbit. Then, she stopped, raised her hand, made a throwing motion, and then -

Whoosh~——————!!!
Then, the Spear of Victory emitted a sharp sonic boom and headed straight for the Chaos Star Destroyer hundreds of kilometers above from the surface.
