Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 456 "The Sun Priest"

Wilshire's eyes, which had been deep and dark, suddenly turned golden, as if there were two miniature suns in them.

He looked around, immediately turned on his communicator, and sent a message to Anton.

"The enemy has deployed a psionic array, with its energy convergence point underground."

“Blindly attacking could lead to unforeseen consequences; leave the rest to me.”

"I will lead my team underground to resolve this."

Wilshire immediately switched communication channels and gave the order to the guards: "Get out of the vehicle!"

He, the "Sun Priest," got out of the car first, his golden eyes scanning the surroundings before marking a 100-meter-tall gray spire in the divination box.

This gray building appeared most sinister in the eyes of the "Sun Priest".

The guards, clad in black armor, gathered behind him, raised their bedrock-type explosive guns, and advanced towards the target building while firing.

"Open the door!"

Upon hearing the lord's order, the two guards quickened their pace, their hands pressing against the gray building.

After the illusory gate opened, Wilshire went in first.

The "Sun Priest" successfully found the passage leading underground within the gray spire.

As the group spiraled down, everyone felt the temperature getting lower and lower.

One of the guards felt an supernatural chill and said in the team channel.

"This godforsaken place is so cold!"

The warband's think tank looked around and saw runes engraved on the stairs and the surrounding gray walls.

“A psionic array! The psionicists of Gadinar have set up a combined psionic array here.”

"I can't be sure of the full effect of the array, but it has sealed this place into a closed space."

"There should be other arrays, other arrays..."

Before the think tank could finish speaking, a group of monsters emerged from the sound of faltering footsteps.

The monsters in the front row raised their laser guns and fired dense beams.

Their hunched bodies had an arm extending from their backs, shooting out at lightning speed.

The "Sun Priest" saw that the humanoid monster was covered in rotten flesh, with maggots wriggling inside.

The "Sun Priest" seemed lost in thought, when suddenly the golden sun in his eyes burst forth, and a sacred, clear light descended from the sky.

The humanoid monster roared in agony amidst the light, melting rapidly as if it were burning.

The guards were bathed in brilliant light, yet felt a sense of pure warmth.

After using "Summon Holy Light" to kill the monster, the "Sun Priest" felt as if something inside his body was melting, and at the same time confirmed that his previous guess was correct.

[Serch uses biochemical technology to modify the human body.]

They then set up a psionic array to bind the "expired" souls within the body.

He's creating undead creatures! No wonder he's entrenched in the biochemical recycling center; it provides him with an endless supply of raw materials.
As Wilshire pondered, he saw a series of shriveled monsters flying down from below.

They had three heads, which were twisted as they looked around.

Upon seeing the black giant, they all turned their heads to look at Wilshire.

They spat out strands of black viscous liquid, which dripped onto the ground.

Two guards beside him raised their bedrock-type explosive guns.

Equipped with a Space Dwarf Hunter module, it automatically and instantly locks onto incoming monsters and fires with a roar.

The diamond projectiles shot out at high speed, hitting the monsters and shattering their pieced-together bodies.

Countless humanoid monsters flew in, their three heads opening and emitting howls at the same time.

The humanoid monster's cries were filled with agony, as it intended to inflict the same torture upon the black-armored warriors. The agonizing screams coalesced into a terrifying howl, causing two guards to freeze in their tracks, their firing motions halting involuntarily.

The monsters' six arms were connected by bat-like wing membranes that vibrated, and their speed suddenly increased as they pounced on the black-armored warriors like lightning.

The "Sun Priest's" golden eyes shone brightly, and a golden, translucent liquid fell from nowhere.

The holy water of the sun slammed into the flying monsters, piercing their bodies like spears.

Thump thump thump…

The "Sun Priest" strode forward, golden light gleaming from his thunder hammer as he attacked the rapidly falling monster.

He swung his hammer, and in the golden light, the monster's body was torn to pieces and vanished in a flash.

The "Sun Priest" descended, using the "Holy Water Creation" skill to summon holy water that dripped onto the monsters, killing the surging undead monsters.

Suddenly, Wilshire's view opened up.

The think tank followed in the lord's footsteps and saw beams of psionic light shining on a huge circular platform.

Crimson rivers churn, green mist rises...

"This is the center of the psionic array..."

A deafening roar interrupted the think tank's words.

"Damn it!" A figure as tall as a warhound Titan roared as it charged out.

He had many arms hanging from his body, each with countless faces on it.

"You have interrupted my grand plan, you will all die."

Sersi roared in fury, his roar sounding as if the cries of countless dead souls were echoing.

Using his mastery of biochemical modification technology and psionic arrays, he wanted to transform himself into a perfect body, possessing the same combat power as the Stalagon metal body.

Selsi, with the help of her minions and psionic castes, spent a millennium constructing the Bio-Recycling Center.

After another 430 years, he gathered the essence of each recovered body onto his own body.

In just over a hundred years, he will be able to complete the transformation and become a powerful being like Stark.

But these damned shadows of order disrupted his plans.

The whirlwind missile launchers on the tops of the Iron Cavalry-type Terminator armor of the guards vibrated in unison, and the missiles roared as they crashed toward Selsi.

Boom boom boom!
A violent tremor shook the ground beneath my feet, and severed limbs flew everywhere.

A severed arm slammed into a member of the guard, and the black biochemical slime rapidly corroded the Iron Cavalry-type Terminator armor.

Serhi lost hundreds of arms, but he still has thousands of arms, which together form three long arms.

Two grayish-white arms swept horizontally, while one arm slammed down.

The guards, whose armor was corroded by the biochemical slime, were swept by an arm and instantly crushed into a pulp.

His other arm slammed into the guards, knocking them flying one by one.

The severed arm swung straight at Wilshire.

The "Sun Priest's" eyes shone brightly, and golden flames instantly ignited out of thin air.

These flames, radiating the sun's vast and pervasive aura, densely clustered together like an ocean, enveloping Serci's enormous body.

The sacred flames ignited by the "Flame of Light" burned the souls bound to Selsi into drops of liquid like candles, which then vanished in silent screams.

The "Sun Priest" silently recited Dunn's words, and his speed suddenly increased dramatically. The "Divine Oath" made him, dressed in the Iron Cavalry Terminator, faster than the Order Shadow dressed in the Mark II power armor.

Flames erupted from the Thunder Hammer, illuminating it with a dazzling golden light.

The "Sun Priest" leaped high into the air, swung his thunder hammer, and smashed it down on Selcy's body.

Amidst the explosion, Sersui's body shattered, and at the same time, Wilshire also felt the stars within his body shatter, he thought to himself.

[I have become a true "Sun Priest".]
