Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 431 Master and Disciple

The Martian wind swept through Foundry No. 3, rolling up the rolling heat waves emitted by the industrial facilities. The figures of the master and apprentice were rolled and twisted in the heat waves.

Kelbohar remained motionless, looking down on everything on Quadrant: "Why do you dare to stand here with this rubbish body of yours that looks worse than a priest?"

After hearing this, even Qin Xia and Quadrant himself had to admit that what Kelbo said made sense.

There are two sets of mechanical bodies in the quadrant.

One set was given by Kelbohar. As a humiliation, he dismantled and threw away the quadrant's original organs and replaced them with prosthetics used by the Skitarii. How powerful could the mass-produced versions be?

The other one was made by Quadrant himself. After the Dawn Star Conflict, he replaced his body with a new one, but it looked a little worse than the Priest's and not very good.

Kelbo's words made sense. Qin Xia also wanted to know what Quadrant was planning. Could it be that this guy wanted to die in front of Kelbo and return to Kelbo everything that Kelbo had given him?

If he really became Warhammer Nezha, then...

But Qin Xia changed his mind and realized that it was impossible for Quadrant to come here without any preparation.

"Remember that I studied weapons?" The two appendages on the back of the quadrant suddenly lifted up the red robe, and from his abdomen that had been transformed into a container, shorter appendages extended out, each carrying a weapon.

None of those weapon models are military versions. They were obviously developed by Quadrant himself, but from the outlines, it can be seen that he referred to those weapons.

All the appendages pulled the trigger at the same moment, raining bullets and beams of light towards Kelbohar.

The Casting General remained motionless, and all attacks were deflected away after reaching one meter in front of him.

But the Quadrant continued to fire, as if to challenge the limits of the mentor's defensive equipment.

The ammunition for the explosive rounds was quickly used up, and only the energy weapons continued to fire.

Beams and plasma, there are only two types.

It is difficult to make a breakthrough in the attack form, but you can still work on cooling and firepower.

Qin Xia calculated the firing time and found that the laser guns and plasma guns in Quadrant's hands could continue firing for much longer than any similar weapons used by any Space Marine.

But these attacks still had no effect. The unknown defensive equipment used by Kelbo deflected all the attacks, and judging from its effectiveness, it seemed that this deflection would last forever.

No matter how powerful an energy weapon is, there is always a limit to its sustained firing. Weapons developed based on real cosmic science cannot have unlimited ammunition, and the quadrant's attacks gradually stopped.

By the time the last blast of plasma was ejected one meter away from Kelbo, Quadrant's appendages had already melted by the heat released by the energy weapon in his hand.

Kelber still stood with his hands behind his back, his expression saying, "That's it?"

The energy weapon in Quadrant's hand quickly dissipated heat and fired again.

Kelbo lost his patience, raised his right hand slightly, and made a head-smacking gesture towards the quadrant.

With the sound of the metal fingers of the Forged General rubbing against each other, an invisible force crushed Quadrant's body.

Those artificial bionic tissues and blood-like life-sustaining fluids splashed all over the place, mixed with a large number of metal parts.

When these splashes fell in front of Kelbo, they were deflected like the previous attacks.

The quadrant is dead.

But Qin Xia knew that Quadrant had the technology to replace the body, so he was not in a hurry, but calmly analyzed what Kelbo had just used.

That is not a psychic attack, but a gravity attack.

Use some technology to create gravity, or increase the gravity in a certain area, and use it as a means of attack to directly crush the opponent.

Qin Xia had seen this kind of attack method ten thousand years ago. This kind of gravity weapon is hard to defend against because it is invisible and therefore impossible to avoid.

Under the means of gravity attack, all beings are equal.

"He died just like that." Kelbo looked at Qin Xia with a grim smile, "It seems that he didn't make any progress under your command, did he?"

"I don't think so." Qin Xia said.

"Yes, the Quadrant can change its body. This technology is the means of immortality that others dream of, but so what? It's nothing more than changing into an iron shell so that I can kill again." Kelbo said again.

Qin Xia thought for two seconds: "That's not the case."

Seeing that Qin Xia was so tight-lipped, Kelbo stopped asking in roundabout ways and waited quietly for his apprentice to give him a surprise.

Two seconds later, Qin Xia suddenly sensed a fluctuation of spiritual energy.

A beam of white light fell from the sky, and in the flashing light, a not very handsome but very strong-looking young man appeared in the eyes of Qin Xia and Kelbo.

The moment he saw the young man, the smile on Kelbo's face immediately froze.

Many memories came to the mind of the Casting General.

A favorite student grew up from a little kid to an adult, the many achievements this favorite student created with this image, and... the night when he lay on the operating table and underwent a transformation surgery by himself.

This is the original body and appearance of the Quadrant.

Quadrant wore a red robe, the symbol of the Mechanicus. This red robe was just ordinary cloth, the kind that was sewn by the families of the White Knight's sailors and sold in the Battleship Society. The quality of the clothes made for the White Knight's lord's personal followers like Quadrant might be better, but in any case it could not protect Quadrant's body in the harsh environment of Mars.

The body under the red robe was not wearing a respirator or any protective equipment, but when exposed to the Martian environment, it was as if it was immune to all poisons. "Bionic man." Kelber's face showed a complicated expression.

The look was one of uncontrollable astonishment, coupled with the difficulty of trying hard to suppress this astonishment but failing, presenting a sense of distortion.

"This is not what I am most satisfied with..." Quadrant's arm stretched out from under the red robe and placed it in front of his eyes to observe, "But this body is indeed a milestone achievement for people other than me."

The Casting General looked at the quadrant and brainstormed.

As a top figure in the Martian academic circle, Kelbo could see the value of Quadrant's body at a glance, and sincerely believed that this body was close to the "artificial life" he had seen in ancient books, that is, the stone man.

However, Kelbo did not think about where the bionic technology used by Quadrant came from, because he felt from the bottom of his heart that Quadrant had the talent to research such technology.

Kelbo was wondering how many secrets Quadrant's body contained. After all, Quadrant had just been teleported here using psychic power.

Could it be that the Quadrant has developed the technology to create psychics?
But Qin Xia knew very well how the Quadrant used psychic energy. It was not to create an artificial psychic, nor to create psychic power, but through the crystal that could store one's own psychic energy, and then with the help of the development results of how to use the crystal, the crystal could be used as a consumable resource.

However, related research has only progressed to the point of using psychic crystals as ammunition for weapons, and it is the first time that they are used as keys to portals.

"Kel Bohar." Quadrant's right hand moved away from his eyes, and he opened his palm towards the Casting General. "Die."

Psychic lightning burst out from the five fingers of the quadrant.

A psychic barrier appeared around Kelbor and blocked psychic attacks.

Qin Xia saw that an ornament worn on the waist of the Casting General was taking effect. It was obviously some ancient artifact in Kelbohar's collection that was taking effect, rather than the general itself invoking spiritual energy.

The Quadrant stood in place and continued to release psychic lightning. Kelbo, who was in a safe state like last time, was not calm and quickly used gravity weapons to attack the Quadrant.

The quadrant teleported again and came to the northwest of Kelbo to continue the attack.

When the gravity weapon took effect again, the quadrants were teleported and switched positions again.

At this time, Qin Xia and Kelbo also saw through the quadrant's battle strategy, which was consumption.

Physical attack means consume Kelbo's physical defense means, and psychic attack means consume Kelbo's psychic defense means, until the defense means are ineffective and broken through by the attack means, then the scales of victory will tilt to this quadrant.

In Qin Xia's opinion, this battle between master and disciple is completely different from the confrontation between two warriors. The confrontation between warriors is often dazzling to watch, and both sides also have a variety of tricks.

The confrontation between these two is purely numerical, just like the attack model and the defense model are competing in data.

But Qin Xia felt that it was normal for these two to fight like this. After all, neither of them was a warrior. If they didn't have these high-tech equipment, the fight between the master and the apprentice would probably be just grabbing hair, poking eyes, and biting people.

Kelbohar attacked several times with gravity weapons, and the quadrant teleported several times. Then the former's psychic defense equipment suddenly dimmed. When a psychic lightning hit Kelbohar, the quadrant suddenly could not teleport and was crushed by the gravity weapon again.

General Zhuo fell to his knees, gasping for breath.

"Psychic defense methods are as unstable as psychic energy itself, right?" Qin Xia said.

Kelbo glared at Qin Xia: "How can he use psychic power? Are you secretly helping him?"

Qin Xia fell into deep thought.

There was no doubt that Quadrant had just released a psychic spell, but Quadrant had no psychic talent, and his soul projection did not shine in the warp when he used psychic spells.

Qin Xia guessed that Quadrant still used the psychic crystal, but extracted the psychic energy from the psychic crystal and converted it into an attack method similar to that of a psychic.

As for how this process quadrant is achieved, Qin Xia couldn't guess.

But it is enough for Quadrant to know the technical principles, Qin Xia pays more attention to the application of a technology.

Use psionic crystals as consumable resources, but the way to use this consumable is not like psionic weapons, but to directly release psionic spells like a psychic.

If this technology can be promoted... the regular Space Marine troops of the World Eaters Legion will also be able to release psychic attacks like the Think Librarians, or as a second best option, use psychic crystals to release attacks to resist psychic energy. Obviously, this will bring about a qualitative leap in the overall combat effectiveness of the Legion.

The only problem is that the psychic crystal is a consumable, and it will become useless without it.

Just like what happened in the quadrant just now, even the last psychic crystal was used up and he couldn't teleport, so he was crushed to death by Kelbo.

“Whether you are helping him or not…” Kelber looked at the pile of bionic parts on the ground, his eyes revealing extremely obvious regret, “This idiot wasted his most precious thing. Now he has absolutely nothing…”

Before he could finish his words, psychic fluctuations occurred again, and another bionic version of the quadrant was teleported out.

It is almost the same as the last time he was teleported out, and there are still a large number of psychic crystals in his body.

This body actually has built-in weapons, but Quadrant believes that physical attacks are unlikely to break through Kelbo's physical defenses, so they are useless.

"You only have one psychic defense device, but I have an infinite number of bionic bodies." Quadrant raised his palm again and pointed it at Kelber. "Ten bodies are being produced as I speak. They are enough to kill you."

Kelbo looked at the quadrant in astonishment.

A look of surprise appeared on Qin Xia's face, which was wrapped in the helmet.

The body that Quadrant is using is not a prototype or a unique piece, but one of the bionic bodies that has been mass-produced.

Such a high-end bionic technology creation is used by Quadrant as a consumable.
