Warhammer 40 Spring: Loyalty of the Multiverse

Chapter 138 Beheading
At that moment, the other Astartes arrived. Lumir was the first to raise his explosive rifle and pull the trigger on the remaining three nanobots.

The terrifying firepower shattered their nano shields in seconds, forcing them to dodge left and right.

The other Astartes also rushed forward to kill them at close range. The rest went to their chapter master, and seeing Tiberius in agony, they were momentarily flustered and unsure of what to do.

The pharmacist quickly came down and, as is customary in Astartes, took out the gene extractor and set it aside.

Although this action made the faces of the other guards around him darken, they didn't say anything, since it's always good to be safe just in case.

The pharmacist began providing basic treatment to Tiberos, whose nanoarmor had been deactivated. Various sedatives and therapeutic agents were injected into his body.

He then took out a scanning device that had been modified by the Mechanical Cult and began scanning his own battle commander.

Because a nanocore will be integrated into the Astartes body in the future, in order to facilitate subsequent treatment of Astartes by pharmacists.

The Great Sage Yuramirs thoughtfully improved the apothecaries' equipment, allowing them to check the normal state of the nanocells and nanocores within their bodies when necessary.

If necessary, a vial of active nanocells can be injected to temporarily replenish the energy required by the nanocore.

The pharmacist, deep in thought after scanning the data, drew curious glances from the men around him.
"What's wrong, bro?"

"Uh..." Hearing the questions and testimonies from his fellow members, the pharmacist didn't know how to answer. After all, he was completely unaware of this situation, and had never even encountered it before!

"Speak up, stop being mute! What's wrong with the commander?" another brother asked impatiently, even gesturing for the brothers around him to remain on guard. He walked over to find out what was going on.

When the pharmacist saw him approaching, she handed him the instrument without saying a word, saying, "Take a look! I don't know what's wrong either!"

"The leader's nanocells are currently overactive and have nowhere to vent! Furthermore, the scan revealed that the leader has two nanocores within him, and they are currently fusing together, which is causing the nanocells to become overactive!" The pharmacist hesitated for a moment before slowly explaining the information displayed on the instrument.

"So, our warband leader has too many nano-biological cells because he fused with two nano-cores! And he can't release them?" Namin Astartes said speechlessly!

The other brothers around them turned to look, their eyes filled with astonishment. Two nano-cores in one body?

As the great sage Eurymils once said, this is going to burst his own body!
Looking at their leader, who was curled up on the ground in pain, everyone felt a mix of guilt and anger. Guilt for not protecting their leader immediately, and anger because of the despicable methods these aliens used.

Keep in mind that they were all veterans of the company! Some of the Astartes were already true veterans before Tiberius became the commander.

This is like Guilliman's Victory Shield Guard and his Primarchs going on a wild trip, and then returning to Alteramar completely unharmed, even having gained several pounds.

However, his own original body simply lay dead, falling into a deep sleep once again.

I wonder if Calga will be so angry that he'll tear them apart...

“Logically, this should be a good thing! It can increase the strength of the core holder! But the problem is that the genes at the bottom of our leader's body are human. We might be fine with the fusion of our self-developed nano core, since it is based on a human body! But this first-generation nano core is not necessarily the case!” The pharmacist also knew some data about nano cores, so after analyzing the data on the instrument, he directly found the problem.

In the original storyline, a total of five nanocores were retrieved from the Ark. Ray Edas alone fused five original nanocores: Hera, Jormungandr, Baldr, Fenrir, and Tyr. This alone came at a huge cost; the reason he could still use them was because he himself was created based on the nanocores and the Ark.

They belong to the same species and origin!
However, although Tiberius has undergone surgical modifications by Astartes, its underlying genetic logic remains human.

Therefore, even after incorporating the original nanocore, it still produces severe side effects.

"Eliminate those threats first! Get the Mechanicus faction to come down as reinforcements!"

"it is good!"

As they spoke, the other Astartes also sprang into action, rushing towards the fleeing nanobots.

Seeing more enemies chasing them, the nanotech soldiers realized escape was impossible. They abandoned their pursuit, turned, and swung their nanotech blades horizontally at one of the charging Astartes!
The Nano Astartes simply raised the prism on its arm and forcefully blocked the attack, even slicing the Nano Astartes in two with such force!
At that moment, another Astartes quietly leaped to its side and delivered a spinning kick, the monomolecular prism on its ankle plunging deep into the head of the nano-nano soldier.

Astartes' immense strength, combined with the momentum from the spinning kick, ripped the nanobot's head off.

Even so, the head and body of this nano-soldier remained connected to the purple mist and tried to heal, but how could this be allowed to happen!
The Astartes that had originally blocked his horizontal slash extended the monomolecular prism at its wrist forward, and with a black tiger's heart-grabbing motion, it tightly squeezed the original nanocore in the chest cavity and pulled it out.

The nanotech soldier who witnessed this scene from afar, though unaware of fear, wisely chose to flee due to the AI ​​within him.

However, several explosive bombs blocked his path, and the AI's precise calculations directly condensed a nano shield behind him.

Sure enough, the moment the nano shield appeared, a chainsaw sword slashed down fiercely! It didn't even block for half a second, cutting straight down like a knife through tofu!

The Naminan vanguard tried to dodge, but couldn't avoid the increased power of the engines behind him, which were trying to propel him forward to avoid the attack.

But he couldn't dodge it at all; the chainsaw sword, leaving afterimages, slashed down and severed his legs at the knees, sending them to the ground.

This attack severely injured him. Although he could still heal, the rest of the Astartes would never give him that chance.

He punched the nanobot soldier squarely in the temple, slamming him into the ground. Meanwhile, an Astartes who had been waiting stomped on his skull, crushing it to pieces.

Then, a heart-piercing technique was used to extract the nano-core.

The last nanobot was even more ruthless; one of the Astartes, with its hidden secrets, charged at the bot like a shark.

The single-molecule prisms that stood upright on the arms cut several wounds all over the body of the nano-nano soldiers!

Meanwhile, the other Astartes followed suit and charged forward, beginning to execute their new tactics!
In an instant, all of the soldier's escape routes were blocked!
