From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 573: Blood God's Army War Incarnation Descends from the Sky
Athena's body suddenly glowed with dazzling golden light, and the psychic storm that erupted from her body blew away all the sand and gravel within a hundred meters radius.

She pulled her right arm back, and the Spear of Victory spun in her palm, gathering power. The energy gathered at the tip of the spear ionized the surrounding air into blue-white arcs.

call out----! !

The moment the spear slipped out of his hand, the entire desert trembled.

Golden light tore through the sky, plowing out a vacuum corridor between the clouds.

The pure spiritual energy wrapped around the spear rubbed against the atmosphere, dragging a plasma trail across the sky, which looked like thunder thrown by the Olympian gods from a distance.

In low Earth orbit, the Chaos-corrupted Star Destroyer had just finished charging its main guns, and the heretic crew members in the bridge didn't even have time to scream before the golden "meteor" had already penetrated the energy shield and psychic barrier.

Boom. Boom! !
The silent explosion bloomed with a strange beauty in the vacuum.

The first thing to explode was the main energy compartment. Subatomic sparks gushed out from the cracks like fireworks, followed by a chain reaction of explosions in the reactor. The hull was twisted like tinfoil being kneaded by an invisible giant hand.

Eventually the entire battleship broke into three pieces, and the burning wreckage slowly rotated and fell into the atmosphere under the influence of gravity.

People on the ground saw that the night sky suddenly became as bright as day, and countless burning metal fragments streaked across the sky, leaving scorched scars on the clouds.

Athena calmly raised her right hand with her five fingers stretched out, as if welcoming a falcon returning home.

Outside the atmosphere, the Spear of Victory that pierced the battleship suddenly changed direction.

After absorbing the residual energy of the explosion, the spear became brighter and brighter, turning into a second "meteor" that swooped down. When it broke through the clouds, the supersonic shock wave created a sonic boom cloud over the desert, and finally fell accurately into the goddess' palm.

This seemingly incredible attack was nothing more than a piece of cake for Athena now.

As the oldest incarnation of war, she possesses the power to penetrate the "stars". The faith of trillions of people in the Empire makes this power grow exponentially. Finally, the runes imprinted on the spear by the Emperor can ignore interference from the warp.

When these factors are combined, the "mere" Chaos Star Destroyer naturally cannot withstand Athena's full-strength attack.

However, at this moment, Athena's chest rose and fell slightly, and the psychic afterglow of the Spear of Victory slowly dissipated between her fingers.

This kind of long-range attack that crosses the atmosphere is a huge drain even for "Gods".

She could clearly feel the divine power in her body flowing away, just like the gold sand falling in an hourglass, each grain representing considerable energy.

But she must.

Those Chaos warships cruising in low-Earth orbit were like swords hanging over the refugees' heads; a single salvo of fire would reduce the southward-migrating troops to ashes.

And now, the burning wreckage of the Star Destroyer is becoming the most eye-catching warning, making the Chaos side no longer dare to occupy the low-Earth orbit nearby with impunity.

Then, when the goddess leaped to the top of the sand dune, the smell of blood that hit her face almost solidified.

The scene before them was enough to make ordinary people tremble with fear—

Heretic stormtroopers' helmets sprouted bloody horns, blaster barrels were tangled with pulsating nerve strands, and bloodletters belonging to the Daemon of Khorne wielded flaming greatswords whose blades seemed to be forged from a mass of tortured souls.

The bloodhounds dug deep pits in the sand, and the eyeballs strung on the horns of the skulls were still moving.

What was even more terrifying were the huge monsters at the rear, which looked like minotaur-like behemoths, with rotten entrails hanging from their axe blades, and burning hoof prints left on the ground with every step they took.

The Gur beast looks like a Minotaur that is ten times larger. Its four arms hold sharp claws, iron hooks, human-skin whips, and a screaming living cannon.

On the back of a particularly huge beast, there was even a mobile altar made of skulls.

They did not charge in a disorderly manner, but formed battle formations under the command of some evil wisdom.

The bloodletters were the vanguard, the bloodhounds flanked on both wings, and the behemoth units supported in the center. As the entire army advanced, even the sand was dyed rusty red.

Seeing this, Athena raised the corners of her lips slightly, and a hint of sneer flashed in her eyes.

She walked forward slowly, her toenails stepping on the sand, each step was steady and deliberate, as if she was not heading towards a battlefield, but strolling in the gardens of Olympus.

The Spear of Victory hovered at her side, its tip slightly drooping, yet ready to strike, like dormant thunder.

“Hoo~————!!”

The roar of the Blood God's army shook the desert, and the sound waves stirred up a bloody wind like a sandstorm.

The bloodletter in the front row bared his jagged fangs, and with his flaming giant sword dragging a sulfur trail, he took the lead in charging.

Their steps were heavy and frantic, and with every step they took, bloody fire marks ignited on the ground, as if the earth itself was afraid of their trampling.

"Blood sacrifice to the blood god! Skull sacrifice to the skull throne!"

The war cry spread like a plague, and the entire army was instantly boiling.

The bloodhounds split up like a tide and surrounded from both wings. Scarlet saliva dripped from between their sharp teeth, corroding hissing holes in the sand.

The stormtroopers' blasters spewed out beams of corruption, their trajectories intertwined into a web of death, each shot enough to melt the solid armor of this universe.

The bone spur turrets of the hover tank hummed as they charged, then fired a dense barrage of psychic energy, dyeing the sky a sickly purple.

Whoosh~——whoosh——!!

Ri~——Boom——!!

Corrupted blaster beams poured down like a rainstorm, instantly submerging the area where Athena was.

The high-energy impact created a sandstorm more than ten meters high. Molten glass-like crystals splashed in the high temperature, and the ground collapsed into a huge charred pit under continuous bombardment.

The first group of vampires have rushed into the smoke, roaring excitedly, with their giant swords raised high, ready to chop the "arrogant" goddess into meat paste, and then enjoy the "feast" of the goddess.

however--

Sizzle! Puff!

However, when the smoke and dust cleared a little, the charging demons suddenly froze.

Athena was still standing there, unharmed.

Her body was enveloped by a layer of light golden force field, and all blasting energy beams were annihilated the moment they touched the barrier, without even a ripple being created.

The spear of victory in her hand was slowly raised at this moment, with the tip of the spear pointing directly at the bloodletter in the front.

"Is this all you can do?"

Her voice was not loud, but it clearly penetrated the noise of the battlefield, as if it sounded directly in the mind of every demon.

The next second, she moved.

The Spear of Victory swept out, and a dazzling golden arc of light slashed across like a crescent moon.

The dozens of blood-letting vampires rushing in the front didn't even have time to scream before they turned into ashes in the light.

The aftermath had not yet subsided, and the arc light continued to spread, engulfing the bloodhounds, stormtrooper heretics, and even several hover tanks in the rear.

When the dust settled, a fan-shaped strip of scorched earth several hundred meters long appeared on the battlefield. All the demons that entered this area were reduced to ashes.

When the last batch of vampires were reduced to ashes under the golden light of the Spear of Victory, the real main force of the Blood God's army finally approached.

Those huge Minotaur and Ghur beasts, with steps that shook the earth, gathered around Athena.

"Moo-!!"

The leading minotaur let out a deafening roar, raised its giant axe high, and the axe blade was wrapped with scarlet chaos runes. One chops was enough to split the fortress wall in two.

Athena dodged sideways, and the axe wind grazed her shoulder armor, plowing a ten-meter-long crack in the sand.

She stabbed out with her spear, and the tip of the spear pierced through the Minotaur's throat. Pure spiritual energy instantly poured in, burning the giant beast from the inside.

However, more giant beasts have already surrounded them. "Roar--!!"

The four-armed Gul beast's iron hooks and claws attacked from different angles, the living cannons spewed out corrosive flesh and blood projectiles, and the human leather whips coiled around her limbs like poisonous snakes.

Athena's body was as fast as lightning, the Spear of Victory flew in her hand, and dazzling sparks burst out with every block.

But there were too many enemies. Even though she could kill a beast with every blow, more were still coming from all directions.

"trouble."

She whispered, and her body suddenly glowed with golden light.

Suddenly, Athena's body began to swell.

Her skin glowed with a metallic luster, her armor expanded as her body grew, and her Spear of Victory also grew rapidly, transforming into a giant blade powerful enough to split mountains.

In just a few breaths, her body had grown to a hundred meters tall, like a walking statue, standing in front of the Blood God's army.

Those minotaurs, which were originally huge in size, now looked as small as wild dogs in her eyes.

"Now, it's fair."

She spoke coldly, her voice rolling across the sky like thunder.

The spear of victory swept out.

There was nothing fancy about this attack; it was purely a crushing force of strength.

Wherever the spear blade passed, the air was torn into a vacuum zone, and dust, behemoths, heretics, and even the wreckage of hover tanks were all swept into the torrent of destruction.

The Minotaur's giant axe shattered the moment it touched the spear tip, followed by their bodies, which were cut in half like rotten wood.

The four arms of the Gulmon tried to block, but they were shattered into ashes the moment they made contact, and its huge body was torn apart like a piece of paper.

The pack of bloodhounds didn't even have time to wail before the shock wave turned them into a bloody mist.

The entire battlefield was cleared by this blow, the sand rolled up, and lava gushed out from the cracks, as if the earth itself was wailing.

!!!

"Roar"

The remaining heretics roared in unwillingness, but did not dare to take another step forward.

They witnessed the destruction of their companions.

Those giant beasts that once terrified mortals were crushed like ants in front of the "true body" of the goddess of war.

The vampire's flaming giant sword had long been extinguished, the bloodhounds retreated whimpering with their tails between their legs, and even the most fanatical heretic death soldiers began to retreat tremblingly.

They were supposed to chase refugees southward and build altars with the skulls of mortals.

But at this moment, the instinct for survival outweighed loyalty to the Blood God.

The corrupted armor made friction sounds under the heavy load as they retreated. Some heretics even tore off the Chaos emblem on their chest, as if this would help them escape the gaze of the "Golden Goddess".

Athena's colossal body began to flicker.

The hundred-meter-tall body of the god fluctuated like a reflection in the water, and the runes on the armor seemed to flicker.

She took a deep breath, and this simple action created a whirlwind in the desert.

As the divine power gathered, her body quickly shrank, eventually returning to its normal state of more than two meters in height.

The spear of victory pierced into the ground with a clang. Fine beads of sweat slid down her forehead, and were vaporized by the steaming divine power before they could drip onto her chin.

This was far from her first consumption today.

As early as when the Emperor took over her body and fought Darth Vader, although it was only a brief moment, her psychic energy reserves had been depleted by nearly half, and the colossus just now consumed even more.

The power flowing through her body now was like a stream that was about to dry up after a storm; every drop was precious.

At this moment, a bloodhound that had escaped the disaster by chance suddenly turned back and pounced with its fangs bared.

Athena didn't even raise her eyes, she just threw the Spear of Victory and nailed the beast to death on the sand dune a hundred meters away.

Then, she looked towards the south.

Hera's psychic barrier was looming in the distance, and the refugee team had long since turned into black dots on the horizon.

Looking to the north, the clouds polluted by Chaos were still rolling, and there were several heretic armies there.

Athena pulled out her spear and shook off the nonexistent blood.

Fatigue is never a reason to stop, especially for the embodiment of war.

She stepped forward, leaving a trail of golden footprints in the sand.

With every step, tiny crystals of divine power emerged from the footprints, but were quickly blown away by the hot desert wind.

It seems that the "hunt" is far from over.

Swish-!
Suddenly, Athena discovered that in the northern sky, a bright "meteor" broke through the clouds polluted by chaos and fell towards a small town more than ten kilometers away from her.

?

Athena paused and narrowed her eyes slightly.

The falling "meteor" in the sky, dragging an unusually pure golden tail flame, tore a striking crack in the chaotic and polluted clouds.

What concerned her even more was that there was a familiar aura faintly flowing in that light - the same psychic fluctuations as the one on the golden throne.

Then, Athena quickly realized that it was most likely the Primarch that fell from the sky.

This made her speed up her pace instantly, and the spear of victory buzzed in her palm.

The sand dunes retreated rapidly under her feet. Every step she took was like teleporting over a distance of a hundred meters. The town shrouded in black smoke seemed to be right in front of her, and the meteor fell straight towards the center of the town.

This side of the town at the moment;
All that meets the eye is blood and madness.

The streets were littered with mutilated corpses, and blood flowed in thin streams between the stone slabs.

The remaining civilians were chained in the center of the square, and Chaos Sorcerers were peeling off their skin with bone knives, piecing together blasphemous totems amid their screams of pain.

The vampires amused themselves by kicking heads, and every skull that fell to the ground caused a burst of crazy laughter.

The strangeness of the falling meteor instantly made all the demons and heretics raise their heads at the same time.

The golden meteor tore through the clouds and pierced the center of the town like a sword of judgment.

Ri~Boom.Boom——!!

Accompanied by a deafening roar, the shock wave overturned all demons and heretics within a radius of 100 meters.

This scene made them lose interest in the defenseless civilians, and after calming down for a moment, they began to move towards the crater created by the "meteor".

The first few vampires who approached looked into the pit and saw a "child" with wheat-colored skin curled up at the bottom of the pit.

! !
Upon seeing this, the bloodletters' eyes suddenly lit up.

Because they also realized that the child in front of them was different from others, if they successfully sacrificed it to the Blood God, they would receive unimaginable blessings and favors, so they rushed into the pit with great excitement.
