Kingdom Come: Deliverance, but Warhammer 40k

Chapter 90 Henry is here?

"Scatter! Don't go near those spores!"

But the commander's warning came too late.

The bombardment from the Chaos Egg continued relentlessly, with more and more corrupted shells being hurled into the sky.

The entire maintenance hall was completely transformed into a rainstorm of death and disease.

Orion readjusted his power sword, and the intermittent blue light on it reappeared.

They were just about to launch another attack.

But then I suddenly remembered something important.

"Wait—Aldrick."

"Where is the child I asked you to protect?"

at the same time.

On the other side of the chaotic battlefield, Theresa clung tightly to a high-altitude scaffold originally used for maintaining starship engines.

Using the exposed crossbars, she had climbed to a height of more than 20 meters above the ground.

As the distant explosion shook the ground, the rusty platform beneath our feet swayed back and forth.

With each step she took upwards.

The old metal frame would start to sway due to uneven stress, making it even harder for her already weak grip to exert force.

Catching her breath, Theresa leaned against the railing and looked down.

The entire maintenance hall, engulfed in flames of war, is now in full view.

The chaotic egg was rampaging through the center of the battlefield, wantonly crushing all living beings that stood in its way.

It unleashes its boundless power upon mortals.

But if————

Is it possible to replicate the method used to kill that plague warrior before?

After all, she had almost used a crane to physically smash a corrupted angel.

And she is now climbing to the top of this set of scaffolding.

It is directly connected to a large maintenance and hoisting system used for loading and unloading starship reactors.

A suspended maintenance platform made of pure steel, weighing tens of tons, is hanging in mid-air by several load-bearing cables.

As long as the lock can be broken and it can fall freely—

Perhaps then, we can kill that monster.

But first, we need to attract it here.

Under the dim emergency lights.

Theresa discovered several industrial energy batteries that had not yet been recycled, scattered next to the maintenance grid in the corner.

As a repairman, she cannot guarantee that she can fix everything.

However, weaponizing something is a very simple thing; she basically fulfills all the gang orders in the living area.

Now, naturally, I can handle it with ease.

Pull out the insulated connector, break the outer protective circuit, and twist the exposed positive and negative wires together.

Then, she took out a discarded detonator that she had removed earlier from her work clothes pocket, connected it to the circuit, and a crudely made, extremely unstable temporary bomb was completed.

She leaned against the railing and took a deep breath.

He lifted the heavy battery with both hands, using all his strength.

It was thrown down towards the direction where the chaotic egg was raging.

Boom!

A blinding blue arc of electricity exploded above the monster's head.

Hundreds of thick, high-voltage currents, like writhing serpents, covered its bloated, massive body.

Even if this level of electric shock cannot cause substantial damage to the Chaos Egg.

But it also successfully angered and attracted it.

The Chaos Egg ceased its destruction of the battlefield, slowly raising the deformed mass composed of countless human and alien heads, and looked towards Theresa's location.

The hundreds of pupils squeezed into the flesh reflected the shape of the worm.

Hundreds of mouths split open on both sides at the same time.

They produced syllables in unison, using voices of different ages and genders.

"Lowly, lowly people, lowly people."

"It's someone from the knight's entourage!"

Its heavy body began to push forward, crashing towards the scaffolding like a battering ram.

boom!!

The entire vertical steel frame began to shake violently.

The fixed part under overload made a popping sound and was damaged.

Teresa lost her balance, grabbed onto the grid panel with both hands, and nearly fell directly from a height of more than 20 meters.

But the Chaos Egg clearly had no intention of letting her go.

Dozens of thick, deformed arms sprouted from the sides of the monster's bloated body, like tree branches sprouting.

The sticky hands gripped the exposed steel pipe one by one.

Dragging that huge pile of rotting flesh, it climbed upwards little by little.

Its weight far exceeds the load-bearing limit of this old scaffolding.

Due to the shift in the center of gravity, the entire high-altitude maintenance platform began to tilt in the direction it was climbing.

The welded joints kept breaking and coming apart one after another.

Theresa gritted her teeth and desperately climbed up the maintenance ladder, using both her hands and feet, trying to widen the gap.

But the monster climbed much faster than she could.

Or rather, it's pulling the scaffolding down.

The distance between predators and prey is rapidly decreasing.

ten meters.

eight meters.

five meters.

The facial contours embedded in the skin were now clearly visible to Teresa.

Countless lips opened and closed, repeating the incantation endlessly like a persistent boil.

"Untouchables————"

Tell us—!

"Where is he!"

at last.

Metal fatigue has reached a critical point.

The entire high-altitude maintenance platform, having lost its balance, began to collapse and tilt to one side with increasing speed.

As the feeling of weightlessness washed over her, Teresa closed her eyes, bracing herself for the impending fall.

Right at this critical juncture.

Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice sounded beside her.

"Jumping from here—wouldn't that be a terrible fall?"

The young repairman turned his head away.

A bizarre lump of flesh, only the size of a human head, had somehow ended up on the metal railing beside her.

It looks almost exactly like that Chaos Egg.

Several eyes, arranged in a staggered pattern on the surface of the meat, blinked simultaneously.

The soft tissues stretched to both sides, creating an ugly smile.

"Um—hello beautiful, Henry, let me..."

Theresa didn't give it a chance to finish speaking, and kicked it in the face without any hesitation.

"Aaaaaaah!!!"

The demon named Anastasius let out a scream.

Its round body drew a perfect parabola in mid-air.

It fell precisely into the gaping maw of the Chaos Egg below.

Soon, the chattering lump of meat was completely swallowed up.

Theresa remained in the kicking position, staring blankly down at the monster chewing below.

After a few seconds of blankness, she finally came to her senses.

"It just now—"

"Did you say—Henry?"
