Warhammer 40 Spring: Loyalty of the Multiverse

Chapter 109 The battle is over
As the armored figure charged towards him, the purple energy at the center of Baldr's head gathered once more. But at the intersection of the passageways, an Astartes suddenly emerged from a side passage, carrying a bomb gun. Immediately following was the sound of a bomb gun firing.

A bomb struck the very center of the purple energy and exploded. The massive explosion also detonated the purple energy, shattering Badr's brain armor into pieces and even tearing Rui's skull inside into a bloody mess.

Badr was blown backward and fell to the ground. "Severe damage detected... Self-repair in progress!"

呲——

The chainsaw blade roared as it plunged directly into Baldr's chest cavity. The monomolecular saw blade easily sliced ​​through the nanoarmor, then shredded Ray Adas's internal organs to shreds.

He then delivered a heavy kick to the side waist, sending the man flying and crashing into the armored wall on the side. The man bounced back and fell flat on his face back to the original spot.

Enraged, Karl drew his combat dagger and slammed it down. He spun it around forcefully and pried it off sharply. A shimmering mass of flesh sprang into the air, which he then caught in his hand.

This is the nanotechnology core behind the nano-vanguard!

After tearing away the bits of flesh surrounding the nanocore with his open palm, he was utterly speechless as he looked at the purplish-black cylindrical crystal.

Meanwhile, Hera, thanks to the presence of the AI ​​system, activated her nanoshield the instant the bomb attack was launched.

However, the Kraken armor-piercing bomb's terrifying armor-piercing capability still managed to penetrate the nano shield. But because of the AI's warning, Hera subconsciously turned her body, causing the bomb that had passed through the shield to hit Hera's back and shoulder.

Although it didn't hit the nanocore, Kraken's terrifying armor-piercing ability still shattered the nanoarmor at the point of impact.

At the same time, the area hit was too close to the body containing the nanocore. The force of the bomb also affected the nanocore.

This immediately reduced the controllability of most of the floating weapons by a level. Barthol, in front of him, seized the opportunity, and with a sudden burst of strength, pulled free the tattered confinement binding him.

Once free, he delivered a powerful downward punch. Hera, who had just reacted and was trying to create a shield to dodge, was slammed to the ground by the attack.

At the same time, Barthol reached out and snatched back his power sword. He plunged it into Hera's chest, remembering that the nano-cores of these nano-soldiers were one of their spoils of war.

So, like Karl, he didn't destroy the core!

However, the terrifying disintegration field instantly shattered Hera's armor. Seeing this, Barthol hurriedly shut down the disintegration field, fearing that continuing to operate it would also shatter the nano-core.

Seeing Hera without her nano-armor, Barthol stretched out his steel hand, tearing through the soft skin on Hera's back and ripping out the nano-core along with large chunks of flesh.

Previously, the nano-armor was an obstacle that required a combat dagger, but now that there is only a mortal body in front of him, it would be a waste of effort to pick up the combat dagger.

……

The battle is over! Iron Radiance lamented that the mortal support forces had suffered over 1000 casualties. The fact that Astartes survived was good news!

Furthermore, the battle against the fully-formed nanotech soldiers ended quickly. The holographic projection attack wasn't used. The holographic 3D video footage of Hea and Torres that Adrian Malcard had copied earlier was intended to awaken Baldr and Hel's memories if necessary, thereby restoring their humanity, even if it only delayed them for a second.

A second is enough for Astartes to do a lot! But it's not being used now, which is neither good nor bad.

The Seraphim battleship and a Luna-class cruiser went in pursuit of the fleeing Ark. However, the Ark was simply too fast, and catching up would take a considerable amount of time. So, that matter was put aside for now; the most important thing was to deal with the mess left by Yuanxing and Asa.

Hea Edas, who had been rescued, and a group of researchers from the Hevag Agency were all imprisoned in a cell in Asgard.

The Great Sage Yhoramir, the Sage Hildan, and the horde of Tech Priests were experiencing a fucking brain orgasm. And then the Emperor appeared—it was a double orgasm!
The great sage Yuramirs excitedly began studying the Asgardian AI system, even disregarding the emperor's displeasure, he stored it as technical backup data and installed it into his own body.

But at least this guy had some sense; he knew to go to Drenthe to have some runes engraved on him and to pray.

Meanwhile, the nanocore belonging to the Holy Ark was also placed under strict guard and stored in the laboratory of the sage Yuramirs.

He is currently conducting experiments on nanocores, while others have already located the cave where the Ark is situated.

They were considering how to move this thing into the laboratory of the Great Sage Eurymils.

……

Shangdu!

Inside the enormous conference hall, Tie Hui sat in the main seat. Seated formally on either side of him were Mayor Tuolingge of Shangdu, Luo Lie, the leader of the Golden Viper, and representatives of all the financial groups and forces on Yuanxing.

"I know what you're thinking! But that doesn't matter, you must meet all my demands!"

Tie Hui stared intently at everyone present. Some wanted to retort, but seeing the murderous intent in his eyes, they silently swallowed their words.

Some people, like Mayor Toringo beside him, were trembling with fear, not even daring to wipe the sweat dripping from their faces with a handkerchief.

"I won't do anything to you! We won't even take the resources from the Assamese. You can think of us as a passing civilization; all I need is for you to provide us with ordinary supplies!"

He stood up and walked towards the meeting room door. This meeting had gone on long enough; he really had nothing more to say to these people. They had already witnessed their power in that battle!
Even if you outwardly comply but inwardly disagree, as long as you're still on the surface of the Yuanxing landform, I'll launch a single orbital bombardment and evaporate the factory and its inhabitants together.

"As for the Assadian technology, you can take it and study it as you like! But remember to submit a copy of the research results to us!"

After making his final request at the door, Tie Hui pushed the door open and left the conference hall.

Those still sitting there breathed a sigh of relief after a few seconds. They looked at each other, and then some of those near Luo Lie leaned closer and asked, "Luo Lie! What do you think about this?"

The people in the conference hall are actually no less powerful than Luo Lie, so they don't show him much respect.

However, when faced with shared interests, they still need to give each other face.

"Just listen to the adults!" Luo Lie took a deep breath, picked up the ceramic teacup on the table with his white-gloved hand, blew on the steam rising from it, and took a small sip. "In short, this tea has a unique flavor!"
