Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 29 Samus is coming

Kxir's broken spine was growing wildly, twisting and spreading. His plate-like ribs were cracking and spreading proudly like an eagle's wings. His internal organs turned into indescribable objects attached to the bones.

His mass was increasing rapidly, and this mass came from the High Heavens, where the laws of physics were distorted and the power of the Warp came into the real world through souls and death.

Ventanus and his men retreated quickly, realizing their mistake. The surrender of the Word Bearer was a trap.

He was simply here to die, and his death would awaken something even more terrifying. Their impulsiveness allowed the other party's plan to succeed.

Ksir's death constituted the final link of the ritual, and his own flesh and blood became the sacrifice, ushering a being from the highest heaven into the real world.

That thing took root in his corpse and continued to shape its own form.

A monster crawled out from the corpse of the Word Bearer. The remaining flesh and blood were proliferating and mutating. Fine scales and thick mane covered the monster's body. A brand new huge head stretched out, with several meters long horns nailed on the forehead, just like the bull-horned demons in ancient myths and legends.

Accompanied by a laugh like the roar of artillery, a large group of buzzing flies and insects swarmed in the distant sky. They circled around like a green sandstorm and sang out a name together - Samus.

"Samus, Samus is here!"

Those who witnessed the Word Bearers' transformation had no time to stop it. The evil power from the High Heaven distorted the concept of time. It could be several minutes or just a moment.

Luo Xi's heart was pounding, he could hear the blood rushing in his body, and his ears seemed to be covered by something so he could only hear an evil scream.

Only one name left: Samus

It was a demon, more terrifying than the ones he had encountered before.

The moment he saw it, Luo Xi realized the essence of this thing. It was the projection of an abominable creature in the subspace in the real world. Perhaps this thing can be called a big demon.

Faced with this monster that only appears in nightmares, even a veteran like Ventanus who has experienced many battles could not help but feel his hands and feet stiff. Some kind of mental repression disturbed their will, making people feel fearful.

The demon's slippery claws of flesh and blood swung around at will, knocking away the four extreme warriors who were guarding Ksir. A warrior who bore most of the impact was torn apart along with his armor, and his flesh and blood splattered, which also awakened everyone.

All weapons: bolters, laser guns, plasma and even micro missiles bombarded the demon named Samus like a rainstorm, but at the moment of contact, the strange psychic power greatly weakened these attacks, as if Samus was not hurt at all, and rushed up with a roar.

Its purpose is clear.

"It wants to take this mortal away, take him away!"

Ventanus instantly understood the other party's intention. The demon rushed straight towards Roche. Its walking posture was like a bat falling to the ground. Although it was funny, its speed was amazing.

Even the Space Marines' dynamic vision could only barely capture its movement trajectory.

"Samus means the end and death. Samus surrounds you. Samus will crush your bones. Be careful! Samus is coming!"

An extremely terrifying malice impacted Luo Xi's consciousness. He almost went dark before his eyes, and was held in the arms of an extreme warrior and rushed towards the back.

Ventanus and Surus charged towards the demon. They began to run wildly, with the power swords in their hands flashing the cold light of decomposing force fields. The next second, the sword light reached the demon and completely penetrated into the opponent's body.

The demon finally became aware of the cobalt-blue cans attacking it. Their figures were so tiny, like frail children before Samus. It tore down the walls of the World Expo, its sheer physical strength enough to destroy the sturdy structure. Its massive wings sent Thrus flying backward, and he slammed deep into the grass, his armor crumbling and disintegrating.

The mortal auxiliary troops brought bigger guys. A Shadow Blade Tank crushed the collapsed wall, and its huge body weighing hundreds of tons then knocked down the gate. Its huge caliber volcano cannon began to accumulate energy.

The humming sound of accumulated energy grew more intense, and in the next instant, the thick fog was pierced, and the blazing volcanic cannon beam struck Samus's head but failed to penetrate it.

Samus finally let out the first roar since the start. Some black air floated from its head, and the flesh and blood tissues were charred and hot, and the organs deeper inside seemed to be damaged.

This is a poison blade-type attack that can destroy a super-heavy tank!
The demon roared and shifted its target. It was like a mountain, destroying everything in its way and heading straight for the Shadow Blade Tank.

The super-heavy tank was trying to recharge, but its notoriously slow rate of fire was now its Achilles' heel. Samus came, its massive claws grabbing the side armor of the tank, the sharp blades tearing through chunks of metal like butter.

Samus was roaring. Theoretically, it was impossible for a creature to overturn a 300-ton Shadow Blade tank with bare hands, but at this moment, this incredible thing happened.

The demon lifted the tank off the ground, and the grass on the ground was completely destroyed by the huge footprints and the tank's tracks. The Shadow Blade's engine was fighting back hard, the roaring reactor outputted all its energy, and the muzzle turned to fire at zero range.

However, the opponent's wisdom was more amazing than expected. Samus slammed the barrel of the Shadow Blade with a claw. The huge brute force broke the internal transmission shaft and mechanical system. The Shadow Blade tank collapsed as if its spine was broken.

Ventanus was running. He jumped onto the toppled buildings, constantly raising his altitude until he reached a height similar to that of the demon's head and then leaped forward.

The demon's hairy and scaly neck lay before him. Ventanus only had the previously seized ritual dagger of K'sir left on his body. He stabbed the dagger without hesitation, grasping the handle of the dagger with both hands and thrusting it into Samus' body with all his strength.

It was so small, but Samus's roar turned into a wail as the ritual dagger caused it unbearable damage.

Its flesh was dissolving. The obsidian dagger shouldn't have been this sharp, but it was.

Ventanus held the dagger and allowed his body to be pulled by gravity, which allowed the dagger to slide from Samus's head all the way to his abdomen, and it finally collapsed to the ground.

Samus stared deeply at Roche and Ventanus, and then its mountain-like body quickly melted away, like an iceberg under the scorching sun, leaving only some indescribable tiny fragments.

It was raining heavily, and Ventanus was like a brave warrior who defeated a monster in mythology, letting the rain wash away the dirty liquid on his armor.

"I think we need these witchcraft weapons, they are very effective against demons." Roshi stood beside Ventanus.

"This is just a stopgap measure. They contain dangerous power." Ventanus looked at the dagger emitting evil power in his hand, his tone very calm.

"We need to rendezvous with Macragge's Glory now. The orbital platform's weapons array must be recaptured."

Ventanus led the remaining Ultramarines back to the interior of the Apollo Museum. The Word Bearers in this area were no longer able to launch a large-scale attack, so it was time to reunite with the Legion.

"Leave the rest to me." Luo Xi said.

Hundreds of Extreme Warriors were lined up neatly on the flat ground in front of the Universal Museum, waiting. The mortal auxiliary troops were left on the surface as they were not suitable to join the battle in space.

Roche summoned the Red Alert in low-Earth orbit, and the starship released a teleportation beam. When the light disappeared, the Extreme Marines and Roche had disappeared from the spot.
