Warhammer: Empire Reboot

Subsequently, following the miniature subspace channel opened by Vespera, it was transmitted at a speed exceeding the speed of light and directly merged into the domain of the Changer.

Vespera stared expressionlessly at the twenty mummies on the ground.

The deputy governor's mummified body still retains a terrified posture, with his hands raised as if trying to block something.

"Deal." She whispered to the magic circle.

The light from the magic circle went out.

The blue gem on Vespera's chest flashed.

The high-density subspace energy has been fully injected, and the jump beacon charging is complete.

She reached out and adjusted the collar of her dark blue velvet robe.

One last look at the soul dashboard, now shattered into dust, in the corner of the secret room.

It's pointless now, just pay off the debt.

She raised her right hand, her fingers pinching the gem on her chest.

Prepare to apply pressure to crush it and initiate the transfer process.

Just 0.5 seconds before her fingers were about to exert force.

boom!!

The east wall of the secret room.

The entire outer main load-bearing wall is 1.5 meters thick and is made of high-grade reinforced concrete and a load-bearing steel frame!

It was forcibly blasted down from the outside by an extremely terrifying physical kinetic energy!

The massive explosion shattered all the crystal goblets inside the sealed room.

Vespera was thrown backward by the powerful shockwave.

The high heels scraped against the gold floor with a harsh, screeching sound.

She crashed into the shell of the Thinker Array behind her, barely managing to regain her balance.

Dust filled the air like a thick fog.

Amidst the swirling pebbles and dust.

A massive silhouette, over two and a half meters tall and nearly a meter wide, trudged slowly through the collapsed walls and ruins into the secret chamber.

The dust settled.

On the ceramic steel shell, silver, living metallic patterns flowed like mercury, automatically cleaning the lime from the armor surface.

The white tiger stripes were faintly visible under the dim light.

Lawson was not wearing a helmet.

He stood on the pile of rubble, his eyes fixed on Vespera.

He was carrying the Katachon's Tooth, which was over fifty centimeters long.

There wasn't a single drop of blood on it.

He hasn't started killing yet.

Behind Lawson's massive body.

Four elite assassins clad in white tiger power armor, each carrying a heavy bomb gun, spread out in a fan shape, blocking all blind spots.

Sister Captain Katrina followed closely behind.

The brand-new power chainsaw sword in his hand was already running, with the high-frequency gears emitting an extremely piercing buzzing sound.

Her eyes burned with an intense, deep-seated hatred and murderous intent toward heresy.

This wall is the entry point that Lawson calculated using architectural blueprints based on swarm intelligence, showing the shortest distance to the secret room and completely deviating from the target's defense logic.

He chose to destroy the point where the shortest distance between the two points is a straight line.

Faced with this group of killers who suddenly broke through the wall and were capable of instantly vaporizing her.

Vespera did not panic.

Her exceptional mental fortitude was on full display at that moment.

She even forced a smile onto her lips, maintaining an air of aristocratic composure.

"You arrived even faster than my mathematical model predicted."

"22 minutes was enough to completely suppress the crisis that paralyzed the five major systems of Zhongchao. Now, from receiving the signal to breaking through this wall, how long will it take? Forty minutes?"

Lawson's eyes did not linger on Vespera's face.

His gaze swept across the center of the secret room.

Twenty mummies that have lost all moisture.

Traces of high-frequency subspace radiation remain on the ground, along with remnants of a gradually cooling silver-line magic array.

"The Tzeentch High Sacrifice Ritual has forcibly extracted his soul and completed dimensional transfer."

Lawson turned his gaze back to Vespera's face.

"You killed your own people to settle accounts."

Lawson stated a fact.

"They are not my people."

Vespera's smile widened, and he said mockingly, "They are merely my commodities, disposable bargaining chips on the warp's balance sheet."

She looked at the expressionless White Tiger assassins behind Lawson.

"Just like your soldiers who have had their fear and personality erased. We are no different in essence."

Lawson did not accept Vespera's sophistry, which involved a fallacy of equivocation.

Because in Lawson's retinal feedback, the swarm mind's micro-energy detector had already locked onto the deep blue gemstone brooch on Vespera's chest.

[Warning: High-density, highly unstable miniature subspace energy vortices have been detected inside the target's chest crystal.]

[Judgment: Spatial jump beacon activation threshold has been reached.]

That was some kind of teleportation medium used for escape.

"You want to escape."

Vespera's smile froze for a moment.

She hadn't expected that the other party could see through the attributes of her trump cards in the blink of an eye.

But then, her smile widened even more.

"Do you know this unknown Mr. Astartes?"

As Vespera spoke, he raised two fingers of his right hand very slowly, but without the slightest hesitation, toward the gem on his chest.

"In my 160 years of doing highly leveraged business, I have learned the most important underlying logic."

"Whether you win the entire galaxy or lose everything on the table, as long as you can leave this negotiating table alive at the last moment."

"Then you will never be considered a loser."

She gripped the fully charged warp gem tightly and exerted her strength.

Lawson moved.

The third-order leap in his genetic base granted him four times the muscle strength of the Catachan elite, all of which was concentrated in his right arm within 0.01 seconds.

Lawson used the Katachon's Fang directly as a throwing weapon.

The upper arm drives the forearm, and the wrist explodes.

"boom!"

The Katachon's Fang broke the sound barrier.

A sonic boom erupted in the confined space of the room, and the blade transformed into an invisible black lightning bolt, piercing straight for Vespera's chest!

The initial velocity of the throw exceeded that of a heavy sniper rifle bullet.

But Vespera's mechanical action of crushing the gem with his fingers was 0.01 seconds faster than the blade arrived.

"Snapped."

A crisp sound of crystals shattering.

The high-density subspace energy sealed inside the gemstone erupted instantly.

Blue light exploded around Vespera like a supernova, forming a rapidly spinning miniature subspace vortex.

The laws of the real universe were forcibly torn apart.

Vespera's body began to undergo a phase transformation in an instant.

The edges of her body became translucent and shimmering.

She is being sucked into a rift in the subspace, preparing to complete the pull-in phase of the jump procedure.

At the very moment her body became semi-transparent.

The Fang of Katachon, having broken the sound barrier, has arrived at the coordinates.

The sharp blade, with terrifying kinetic energy, pierced directly through Vespera's translucent abdomen.

However, during the transition period of phase transformation, the destructive power of purely physical attacks from the material universe is forcibly weakened by 90% by the dimensional barrier of the subspace.

Katachon's Fang did not cut her in half.

Only a shallow wound, only two centimeters deep, remained on her semi-solid abdomen.

The battle blade pierced through her body and embedded itself deep into the Thinker's hull behind her, sparks flying.

The sharp pain in his abdomen made Vespera frown.

But when she saw the knife stuck in the machine, and her own body becoming increasingly blurred.

She finally managed a triumphant smile.

“Goodbye, monster. I await your final destruction in the Chaos Realm.” Her voice now carried a distinct dimensional reverberation.
