As long as you die, you are invincible, but in 40K

The blade of his sword flashed past the demons whose movements were blocked, and cut off their heads one by one. The injured parts of the demons showed no signs of healing. Instead, white cold flames spontaneously ignited at the edge of the blade, intertwining with the pink flames.

Although they lost four people in the brief encounter and only three survivors remained, Zhang Ge and the veterans still managed to hold the line against the demons pressing in front of them, preventing these demons from having free hands to attack the backs of the three people in front.

Soon, the remaining enemy troops were wiped out.

On the ground, the corpses of dozens of demons were burning. Due to the heavy infection of the subspace here, they would have to burn for a long time before being completely exiled.

For a mortal army, even if the lust demons are only the lowest among the types of demons that can be named, even with the scale and level of the assault force organized by Zhang Ge, with only nearly two hundred people, they will undoubtedly suffer heavy losses when facing dozens of lust demons in this kind of terrain inside the ship.

But because of the intervention of Amelia and others, the level of casualties suddenly dropped to single digits... This is why Zhang Ge didn't want them to go with him. When heavy weapons cannot be deployed, a single high-end combat force will have a huge impact on the battle situation.

To be honest, Zhang Ge had no good solution in this situation. From the moment he got Ascalon, he had set a high tone, which made it difficult for him to come down from that position.

We are currently heading towards the worst-case scenario: surviving this entire round of Chaos invasion.

We can only wait until someone from the Inquisition comes to take the sword away. If that happens, Amelia will have no reason to stay with him any longer. Someone can just behead him and he will be free from his suffering.

While Zhang Ge made the Inquisition jump back and forth between heavenly soldiers and small fry in his mind, he also completed injections and emergency bandages for two seriously injured veterans.

This time, because Amelia was right next to them, there would not be a subspace infection like before in the tower. The two of them were only seriously injured, and after the injection they could hold on until the follow-up troops arrived.

After carrying them to the shelter with the others and confirming that they had no directly exposed wounds, Zhang Ge did not say anything to comfort or encourage them, but instead gave an order:

"Your mission has been changed to defending this area. Ensure that these demon corpses don't stand up again and attack us from behind. Also, indicate our direction of advance to the follow-up troops."

After bumping fists with both of them, Zhang Ge returned to the center of the team. At this time, everyone was basically ready again.

Judging from the environment and equipment readings, although these warp demons are being expelled, the concentration of warp infection in the surroundings shows no sign of decreasing. Obviously, they are not the culprits causing the current situation.

However, there is also good news. When these dozens of "interference sources" gradually dissipate, the high-concentration points farther away will be exposed to the detection of the equipment.

It was indeed at the bow. They placed the thing under the protection of the platinum ram. There were two suspicious points in total, and both seemed to be quite large, but they did not move. It was probably not a living creature... at least not a living creature in the sense of the real universe.

After reallocating positions, the group continued to move forward.

As the concentration of the subspace gradually increases, the things around it that are eroded become more and more.

Until Zhang Ge felt a burning sensation on his chest, and something began to emit golden light.

Oops.

Zhang Ge thought to himself as he saw that everyone around him, except Amelia, was looking at him with curiosity.

Seeing that Zhang Ge did not move, the golden light seemed to start expanding on its own, as if it wanted to envelop Zhang Ge completely and turn him into a source of light.

This caused the latter to quickly take off the pendant from his chest in order to prevent further misunderstanding.

The golden light burned the chaotic space around it, and the sense of confusion that made others feel a little nauseous was quickly dissipated, and the sense of stability based on the real universe returned to their feet.

Dominica was the first to change her expression to one of surprise, and then to a "smile of relief" expression.

Heloise looked at the cross, then at Zhang Ge, and finally at Amelia, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

On the contrary, the veterans and Isis acted as if it was natural.

The direction Zhang Ge was initially exposed to was about being a canonized person, and they had no specific concept of miracles or anything like that. They just thought that such things would happen again sooner or later, and there was nothing to be surprised about it happening now, so they just had to pray and that was it.

With the cross floating between the teams, most of the harassment from weak demons and erosion derivatives disappeared, the advancement speed was greatly accelerated, and the cultists that appeared from all directions from time to time basically did not cause any trouble.

The group first checked the nearby blood pool. This was where the lustful demons sought pleasure, so the fluctuations in the subspace were extremely obvious.

After stepping through the door, Zhang Ge frowned at the mess in front of him. He had no intention of going any further. He was a little worried that seeing these scenes too much would affect his humanity.

In this regard, it is better to maintain stability as much as possible, both for his own sake and for the future of mankind.

Turning to Amelia, he asked:

"Is there anything left from the fire that started the bottom nest?"

Although we didn't see the scene where Amelia threw the phosphide grenade, it was impossible that the alien itself set the huge fire afterwards. We could guess that Amelia used some special equipment.

She nodded and replied:

"Yes, but it's not necessary. There are a lot of combustible materials here. Ordinary incendiary bombs will be enough."

There were indeed a lot of them, with corpses piled all over the ground, leaving no place to stand.

But Zhang Ge still shook his head and said:

"Use that. There are still 'living' creatures in here. There's no need to add to their suffering. This will only empower those demons."

Amelia said nothing more, nodded, and threw a phosphide grenade. Wherever the green mist touched, a sea of ​​fire ensued.

When everyone turned around and left, the high temperature had made the air boiling hot.

After eliminating the blood pool, there was only one place left. As they continued to approach there, a feeling of hair standing on end as if they were about to face something terrifying began to be transmitted to everyone in the team through intuition and instinct.

ps: It’s 10 am today, so the update is late, TvT.

Chapter 108: Winning a Little Too Quickly

At such a deep place, all the abnormal changes in the surrounding environment disappeared, and for a long time, there was no sight of the little devil who came out and ran around in the heat.

On the surrounding walls, there are more and more pictures of giants fighting poisonous snakes, but compared with the initial grandeur from a distance, these sculptures now look a little crazy.

The extended patterns finally converged together in front of a huge, magnificent double door.

With the size of a human, I felt like a tiny insect standing by the door.

"There's something incredibly powerful here... I can't describe what it is."

Sister Heloise, who had been standing beside Zhang Ge and responsible for protecting his safety, said seriously.

Extremely powerful? Indescribable?

That would be best.

Zhang Ge nodded with a solemn expression on his face and replied:

"We're already here, we can't go back. Let's find out how to open the door."

The crowd dispersed to both sides and soon found the pull rods on the bases of the two statues, which were decorated in the shape of the Imperial Sky Eagle.

The two nuns pressed it down respectively, and the heavy door slowly opened to both sides with the sound of wind caused by the air being blown. The golden glow deliberately created inside the door shone through the gradually opening gap of the door and even reflected the orange-yellow color of the metal floor.

They gathered on either side of the door, but as they rushed out, everyone paused.

In the center of the hall, which is carved with countless exquisite reliefs and inlaid with countless luxurious diamonds, there really is a giant.

A knight mecha was half-kneeling on the ground.

It was a common and ancient Templar-type patrol knight.

The paint on its upper body was still shiny, and an emblem on its chest indicated which family it came from. Its huge body trembled from time to time, and the black pipes and mechanical structures were hidden under the heavy armor plates, while the weapons on its arms were exposed.

Amid the intricate decorations on its shoulder armor, a row of tiny numbers along the edge marked its birth in the 36th millennium.

When it saw everyone entering the hall, the electronic eye with a red glow from the gap in its head protective shell slowly moved over. After a quick glance, it spoke very slowly and with a hint of pain:

"You...are, coming to rescue?...Now, what year have you arrived?"

No one present answered it.

Its lower body was a mass of pink flesh that wrapped around the entire base, clinging to its legs and winding upwards. The tiny tentacles stacked one upon another, like countless intertwined venomous snakes, wriggling all the time.

These things have almost grown together with its entire lower body, wriggling in the armor plates, entwining in the wailing structures, and finally gathering together at the waist and sinking into the structure of its waist.

Every contraction and compression of these blasphemous objects made the huge creation tremble. It was hard to imagine how long it had been fighting against this thing.

Seeing that it had no intention of attacking, Zhang Ge was about to step forward, but was stopped by Heloise again.

She said:

“It has fallen.”

Zhang Ge stopped. Since he could not feel the influence of the subspace fluctuations, he ignored some details. But when he stopped and carefully felt the abnormality in the air, he realized what Heloise meant.

This Knight didn't betray, but he did fall.

The unimaginable evil energy of the Warp continued to overflow. It was not that this place had not been eroded. On the contrary, it had been eroded too severely for a long time, so that it had completely become the scene envisioned by this knight.

In its imagination, it is a glorious being who has upheld faith and loyalty and fought against evil gods for countless years, but in fact the surrounding environment has already reflected its true inner thoughts.

It has maintained its loyalty for thousands of years not because of its loyalty to the Emperor, but because it gains an extreme sense of self-satisfaction. The more painful the evil god tortures it, the more it thinks that its ability to remain loyal is extremely glorious and valuable.

This may be the motivation that supports it to persevere at the beginning, but after a period of time, what it pursues is no longer glory or loyalty itself, but the self-satisfaction that these things can bring it, and this self-satisfaction comes from its heart.

The more resolute it is, the more it can withstand intense stimulation, and the higher the upper limit of this feeling will be, far exceeding the threshold of physical stimulation.

It became a work of art crafted by Slaanesh, and even this ironic act itself became a source of the evil god's power.

Even if it is rescued now, the stimulation brought by battle or ordinary loyalty is far from enough to satisfy its needs, not to mention that such deep subspace erosion has made it a mobile source of infection.

The refined golden ram had clearly been damaged and severely twisted from the impact with the ground, with numerous cracks appearing that allowed faint visibility of the outside, but the night and moonlight could not penetrate an inch.

In the golden light that filled the entire hall even though there was no source of light, a few pink traces floated.

However, even though we know this... the problem is, even if the opponent does not resist until death, how can a group of people without heavy weapons destroy a knight mecha?

Just as Zhang Ge was thinking about this question, the floating cross suddenly began to shine brighter.

A whistling sound seemed to be coming from somewhere outside, from above.

As the sound got closer, a loud bang exploded at the top of the hall, as if it was the sound of two objects colliding.

A crack at the top lasted less than a moment before it was completely torn open, tearing apart large areas of the surrounding plates.

Amidst flying sparks and countless metal fragments being torn to pieces, a leg that had penetrated the next moment and was already larger than the entire knight mecha fell in front of everyone's eyes.

The giant walking legs were connected to and fell with the giant metal body of the Titan, which was reflected in the golden light and had lost all details. The movement and power of this giant were displayed so clearly and unreservedly at this moment.

If time were to stop at this moment, then looking upward through the gap, one would be able to see a gap in the hive's outer shell.

That's right, since the elevator is broken, why not take the stairs?

After discovering that the elevator needed a long time of repair, Olivia went directly to the outer shell of the hive, and climbed step by step to the top of the tower, and finally fell at this moment.

There was no sign of the knight mecha in her row of electronic eyes, but she didn't care.

Its legs, packed with huge kinetic energy, directly crushed the "broad" back of the knight mecha.

The mecha's knee joint, which had been emitting a continuous slight whimper, was crushed with a sharp sound. It maintained a half-kneeling position for perhaps less than half a second before its entire body fell to the ground at the feet of the general.

Immediately afterwards, after its body fell to the ground and became a direct obstacle for Olivia's feet to touch the ground, a crisp sound of armor plates breaking was heard, and the armor plates on the knight's body collapsed, and the various mechanical parts that lost their protection were further stepped down.

The sticky sound of flesh and mechanical parts being crushed echoed, and the other unobstructed leg of the War General Titan landed first. A tremor swept with flying dust and shock waves spread outward, forcing everyone to lean forward slightly to prevent falling.

The other foot that had crushed the knight's mecha had now turned the thing under its feet into a pile of discus barely stuck together by pipes, with countless broken gears or powdered meat scattered around.

ps: Titan Road, make a grand appearance.

Chapter 109: A decision that goes against our ancestors

The fall of the Titan seemed long, but it actually happened very quickly.

In the eyes of ordinary people, they only saw a huge shadow falling at an extremely fast speed like a meteor, and while crushing the knight's mecha, it also smashed the entire floor and created a metal depression.

The mixed sound of metal exploding was like one hundred thousand shells exploding at the same time. Fortunately, he was protected by a helmet, otherwise it would not be just a matter of losing his hearing, but would likely cause brain damage.

When Olivia stood firm, the pink fleshy tentacles seemed to want to climb onto her feet, but they were discovered and kicked again, and they completely stopped moving.

The hall, which was originally very spacious compared to the knight mecha, was suddenly filled with the body of the War General Titan. Her head almost touched the ceiling, and the door that was extremely tall for a human was not even up to her feet.

The others, who had suffered more shocks than in their entire lives along the way, didn't know how to react for a moment and could only subconsciously turn their gazes to Zhang Ge.

At this moment, Zhang Ge was reaching out to catch the pendant that flew back into his palm, establishing a connection with Olivia.

"Olivia? Why are you here?"

Amid the clear sound of mechanical operation, she turned her head downward, and the gaze of her electronic eyes was directed at Zhang Ge. A low whale cry came from her body.

The sound had a slight electronic feel, but if you listened carefully it sounded like the resonance between countless gears, echoing for a long time in the golden hall.

As for Zhang Ge, what he heard was Olivia's inner voice:

"I asked those little red-robed guys to add some stuff for me."
