Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 496 "Execution" of the Bone Eater

When the Stormbirds were more than ten kilometers away from their target, the massive figure of the Bone Eater came into view.

His green crown was even taller than the top of an abandoned mine next to him.

He unleashed dazzling beams of energy from his arms, and wherever they swept across, the furnace disintegrated in the blinding light, and the Machine God Guard was vaporized and wiped away in the rising mist.

As Ninglu stared at the Bone Eater, the voice of John the Strong-Brained Cat suddenly echoed in his mind.

“I can deliberately cause a disaster, burying him underground, which will make it difficult for him to move around for a short period of time.”

"Master, you can take this opportunity to destroy it!"

Freddy the Black Wolf looked at the Strong-Brain Cat lying next to Ninglu's left leg and saw its bright black eyes.

His pupils contracted; John was growing stronger and stronger, making him feel threatened in his own position.

Without much thought, he guessed that the Strongbrain Cat wanted to show off. He glanced at the three people opposite him and tugged at Ninglu's leg armor.

Ninglu lowered his head, reading the meaning in his gaze: "I can make him dream."

With a thought, the Primarch sent a thought pulse to them simultaneously.

"No! I want to destroy him myself!"

Ninglu glanced at the commander of the 19th Army Corps, Arkahas Far, the strategist Balsa Kuturi, and the company commander Nerat Kirin, and thought of Anacharis Scoria below.

He wanted to personally kill the Bone Eaters so they could directly experience his power, making it easier for him to "corrupt" them.

As Ning Lu pondered, he suddenly seemed to realize something, and he abruptly looked up at the window.

The Bone Eater raised an arm and spat out a blinding beam of light, shooting it towards the Stormbird.

He didn't move, calmly looking down, searching for Anacharis in the crowd. He had to make sure the person he was "corrupting" survived.

The energy beams transformed into straight lines in the pilot Nelson's mind.

The machine calculated every beam of light that was fired and every beam that followed. He pulled the control stick sharply, and the Stormbird dodged in mid-air according to his calculations.

A destructive energy beam grazed the fuselage and pierced the dark space.

At the same time, the Primarch's superhuman vision allowed him to distinguish the others in Anacharis through comparison.

Although he is different from the future one, who is covered in mechanical arms, he is still distinguishable.

He and his team stood out conspicuously among the jostling group of motorists.

Anacharis's Royal Guard, like a finely tuned cog in a machine, slaughtered the enemy in droves.

His computational abilities were clearly an order of magnitude higher than those of other commanders; he took into account the movement trajectories of enemies and colleagues, firepower, and the surrounding environment.

The Primarch separated a portion of his consciousness to focus on Anacharis, and at the same time rose.

He gave Nelson the order, "Open the hatch."

"Lord Ninglu!" the three exclaimed in unison, realizing the Primarch's actions and feeling worried.

Having witnessed the Titan burning fiercely and the Bone Eaters causing devastating destruction, they now have no doubt that the enormous aliens can destroy the Titan.

“No need to worry!” Ning Lu said, then leaped out of the cabin, his golden wings unfurling behind him.

The Bone Eater was immediately drawn to the figure in the air, and he raised his arms one by one.

As the plants overhead swayed, the beam of light instantly split into points of light.

Most of the light flew towards the figure in black armor and golden wings, while a small portion flew towards the dozen or so aircraft in the air.

On the panel in Nelson's eyes, countless red dots instantly appeared, with the tactical data showing a quantity of 1,493,285.

The "machine's" brain works at lightning speed, planning an evasive route.

His hands moved the control lever at a speed that was impossible for the average person to follow.

The stormbirds soared and swooped through the rain of light.

Electromagnetic locks on the soles of the three Astartes' boots held them in place inside the cabin, and they quickly adapted to the rapid turbulence.

Looking out through the viewing window, they saw a Stormbird struck by a golden flash, spinning and plummeting in black smoke. "I think you should put us on the ground," Alkahas said.

"We don't want to die in the air. Fighting alongside Primarchs is our true honor."

“The Lord of Shadows,” Balsa suddenly spoke, “the Bone Eaters are no longer concerned about us.”

Upon hearing this, Nerat immediately turned to look at the enormous object on the ground and, sure enough, saw that no more light was being emitted.

A bright beam of light pierced the sky, breaking through layers of dark clouds.

All the shadowy figures of order above the Stormbirds and the Mech Guardians on the ground saw the brightest light they had ever seen.

In Anacharis's oracle scanner, the energy readings surged rapidly. He looked up in surprise, trying to use his electro-optical eye to see what it was.

He saw the light clearly; it was even more dazzling than the product of an electric-driven engine repair shop.

It comes from a spear, wielded by a towering figure.

With a snap, one of Anacharis's electronic prosthetic eyes shattered. He quickly ducked to avoid the same fate to his other eye.

Anacharis was reviewing all the data packets in his mind space when suddenly a message from the First Forging Temple caught his eye.

Nimrod, the Primarch, led his legions to Shana.

The First Forging Temple has been freed.

...]

Anacharis's shattered left eye, the crystal dripping down. [That was Lord Nimrod.]
The light appeared even more dazzling to his right eye.

[The spear fell.]
Boom boom boom...

The ground trembled violently, and more than a dozen furnaces were thrown into the air, colliding repeatedly.

Anacharis quickly looked up at the sky and saw a gleaming spear strike the Bone Eater's energy shield, causing the Primarch to flap its wings and fly down.

Nimrod infused Dionysus Spear with psionic energy, shattering the Bone Eater's personal energy shield before leaping down.

A flash of light appeared in the Primarch's eyes, and a dozen furnaces and the surrounding wreckage of mechs were as if they had been scooped up by a large net.

The metal shattered into tiny metal fragments with a thought.

The spirituality of the "Corrupted Baron" spread, and metal fragments quickly coalesced into metal chains.

Threads shot towards the bone-eater's arm, wrapping around it layer by layer.

The light flickered on and off, its dim glow even darker than the sky.

After binding the Bone Eater's arms with metal chains, the "Corrupted Baron" flew to the top of the Bone Eater's head with a thought.

He poured all his remaining spiritual energy into the gauntlets and activated "Execution," a skill usable only by a Sequence 4 "Law Master."

His eyes shone with golden light, and his power boxing gloves were also enveloped in golden light at the same time.

He swung his fist downwards with a sudden burst of golden light, which struck the Bone Eater on the head.

With a deafening roar, countless tree branches shattered, and the Bone Eater's massive body swayed and collapsed.

Anacharis looked up again, glancing quickly, and just then saw the Bone Eater being killed with a single punch. His logic engine started working at high speed.

Lord Ninglu is too powerful!

Even if I had ten, no, twenty arms, could I have that kind of fighting power?
Anacharis didn't have time for a deep analysis; he saw the tilting shadow overhead.

Just as he was about to issue a retreat order to the squadron he commanded through the communication system, he suddenly saw the Primarch fly to the Bone Eater's back and raise its hands to support the Bone Eater.

The Machine God Guard calmly withdrew from the area covered by the fallen Bone Eater, and Ning Lu then placed the Bone Eater on the ground.

Alkahas muttered to himself as the stormbirds circled overhead.

"Is this the Primarch?"
