Chapter 710: Fight to the Death

[Time: -74.52.31]

"Blood sacrifice to the Blood God, skull sacrifice to the skull seat!"

The giant with a bright red body roared and swung the chainsaw sword in his hand, slashing at Duanmu Huai head-on. Duanmu Huai shouted, and the psychic energy on his body burst out instantly, blocking the opponent's attack. Then he swung his hammer and smashed it forward. The thunder hammer hit the warrior's head hard, smashing his head and helmet into pieces. The headless body shook for a while and then fell to the ground.

"Continue to attack!!"

Marius was no longer in the mood to care about the surrounding situation at this moment. He raised the grenade launcher in his hand and aimed at the enemies in front of him, countless enemies, a large number of enemies. Those monsters he had never seen before, they were all red, holding flaming swords in their hands, and there were things like hounds following them. Marius didn't know what these were, but his intuition told him that this was not the alien aliens on other planets that he had faced before, nor was it a variant of orcs, but a more terrifying and evil existence.

However, they had no way out at this moment.

But what shocked Marius even more were the Astartes standing opposite him—or rather, they used to be Astartes.

But now, they are no longer.

"Go to hell!!"

At this moment, another Space Marine roared out from the crowd, raised his bolter, and attacked Marius and others. The latter hurriedly dodged, then raised his gun to fight back. The bolter hit the Astartes, blew up his ceramic steel armor, and tore his flesh and blood. In theory, this was enough to make an Astartes lose his combat effectiveness.

But the Space Marine did not fall down. On the contrary, this seemed to anger him even more. He strode forward, and the heavy machine gun bolter in his hand whistled out like a storm, hitting Marius and others unable to raise their heads. That ground firepower turret was originally used for defense. Even an Astartes could not lift it. But now, this Astartes lifted it easily like a toy, wantonly pouring destruction and death around.

To be honest, facing such a difficult enemy, even the captain of the first company did not know how to deal with it for a while.

Fortunately, there are other people here.

Ogis floated down from the firepower net like a ghost. She raised her right hand and shook her fingers. Then she saw that the turret in the hands of the Space Marine was suddenly cut into several pieces and then exploded and cracked. The sudden burst of fire blinded the opponent's vision, making him subconsciously step back. At the same time, Lorena rushed forward and punched the opponent in the chest with a cry. Then she saw that the tall Space Marine was beaten out like a paper man and hit the wall behind him. Then with a "pop" sound, it turned into a pool of meat sauce like a fly hit by a fly swatter.

The battle came to an end. When Marius and others stood up, there was only a pile of corpses in front of them.

"Emperor, what on earth is this......"

Marius swallowed his saliva. As Ultramarines and Astartes, they had long forgotten fear. Logically, this kind of fear had already disappeared among Astartes. They were shaped into warriors who did not know what fear was from the day they were born. Marius had only seen the description of fear in novels or books before.

However, now, looking at the familiar and strange corpse under his feet, he experienced fear for the first time in person - at a loss, not knowing what to do, trembling, as if the solid ground under his feet had collapsed and he was being thrown into the endless void. At this moment, Marius felt as fragile and helpless as a three-year-old child.

"As you can see, your former brothers have become running dogs who succumb to the Chaos God."

Duanmu Huai's voice was calm, steady, and calm, which made Marius regain some of his spirit.

"I can't believe it."

He stared at the corpse in front of him. It was the corpse of an Astartes, but not entirely. His body had obviously changed. Of course, the most obvious thing was the long horns growing on his forehead and the sharp teeth in his wide-open mouth, like those of a beast.

"I have seen psychics mutate, but I didn't expect an Astartes to become like this."

"Now you see it."

Duanmu Huai's expression was very calm and his voice was very calm.

"The Chaos Evil God will corrode everything, whether it is mortals, psychics, Astartes or Primarchs. If you can't stick to your own hearts, then you can't escape."

"But they can still be killed."

Marius gradually calmed down. He held the grenade launcher in his hand tightly, and seemed to have found support and courage again.

"Of course they can be killed."

Duanmu Huai sneered.

"Even Chaos Gods can be killed, of course, provided that you are strong enough... Well, let's keep going, we are not far from the bridge."

"So, what are they?"

Marius continued on his way, but this time, he felt that his emotions seemed to be much calmer.

"To describe them in a purely rational way, they are creatures of the Warp. Is that strange? Fish live in the sea, birds live in the sky, and it is not so strange that there are creatures in the Warp."

"Indeed... as you said, then why do you call them evil gods?"

"It's just a name."

Duanmu Huai curled his lips.

"You can call them whatever you want, such as evil gods, chaos powers, four vendors... The name is just a title, a reference. It doesn't mean that if we call them evil gods, they are really evil gods. After all, each civilization has a different definition of gods. I believe that when you conquered and surrendered planets, you have also seen that local natives worship you as gods."

"Indeed."

Marius nodded. There were some examples of locals on some planets who regarded them as gods after seeing them.

"People will surrender to the powerful forces they cannot understand and regard them as gods. The same reason."

"Then aren't you afraid, Judge?"

Marius looked at Duanmu Huai, who laughed.

"Do you know, Captain, there is a saying in the Inquisition - all fear comes from insufficient firepower."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai raised his war hammer and swung it forward.

"That is to say, as long as you have enough firepower to destroy everything, then you have nothing to fear."

"After returning, I will suggest that my Primarch add this sentence to his notes."

"Don't set a flag, we have come this far, what do you think?"

"There is indeed a problem with the Clock Tower, and the malicious premise has been established. We can report what happened here to the Primarch."

Marius looked around again.

"I don't know what to say. It turns out that the Word Bearers carried out a massacre on this battleship. They killed almost all the crew members on this battleship and used their flesh and blood to transform some terrible monsters..."

"Bloodleters, low-level ground units of Tyrannical Fury, not worth mentioning."

"... and mutated Word Bearers and World Eaters Legion soldiers."

"This is the power given to them by the evil god. To be honest, it's nothing big."

Duanmu Huai snorted, but Marius knew that things were not as easy as he said. He had fought with a mutated World Eater before. The opponent's power was even stronger. It was not trained, but some powerful power that Marius had never encountered before. Even he was almost knocked to the ground. Not only that, these Astartes are not afraid of death, and their bodies are extremely tough. Their grenade guns can break their arms and tear open their chests, but they still move forward as if they were not injured at all.

Such enemies are difficult to deal with even for experienced Astartes, but they are so fragile in front of Duanmu Huai, who swings his warhammer and hits them one by one.

Of course, it is understandable that Duanmu Huai does this, after all, he gives people a very fierce feeling, but………………

Thinking of this, Marius looked at Lorena who was walking beside Duanmu Huai with a complicated expression.

"Excuse me, I would like to ask... how did this lady do it?"

Yes, what Marius couldn't understand the most was the battle between Ogis and Lorena. Ogis was okay, and Marius had seen the strange methods of psychics. Even if he couldn't understand it, at least he could accept it. But Lorena, he didn't understand. How could such a petite girl beat a mutant Astartes directly with bare hands?

"Of course it's training, Captain!"

However, Lorena's answer surprised Marius.

"Exercise?"

"That's right! You have to persevere every day, squat, punch a hundred times, pray a hundred times, and punch a hundred times again! Only in this way can you have a healthy body and enough power to purify the evil spirits!"

Persevere in exercise? ? ?

Marius was completely confused. They, the Astartes, are also persevering in training, and they have been training for hundreds of years. As a result, you told me that you have persisted in training for more than ten years, and you can beat the Astartes?

What is the value of our existence? ? ?

He looked at Duanmu Huai for help, hoping that he could give an answer.

"Don't look at me, Lorena is like this, I don't have this ability."

Duanmu Huai spread his hands and made a helpless expression.

Well, maybe this lady is a special case.

The bridge door opened.

The stench that hit them in the face was uncomfortable, and the bloody and fleshy pieces scattered on the deck were even more disgusting, but what was even more unacceptable was the huge monster in the center of the bridge. It looked like a giant brain, with countless nerves extending from its bottom and entwined on the Thinker terminal. It had taken over the battleship and was manipulating it forward.

In front of it, stood a tall Chaos Space Marine.

"I didn't expect you to be able to come here."

He said with his back to the crowd, and then slowly turned his head—they saw the World Eater symbol on him, and at the same time, he also saw Duanmu Huai's armor.

"Damn bastard!"

He grabbed a flaming blade, and the rotten wings behind him suddenly opened.

"It's you! You killed our Primarch! Murderer!!"

"I will miss Angron's screams."

Duanmu Huai laughed and walked forward holding the war hammer.

"And now you can only become such a waste, World Eater."

"I will avenge the Primarch."

The other party clenched the greatsword and stared at Duanmu Huai fiercely. Beside him, several World Eaters and demons from the warp were also full of murderous intent and anger.

"Even Tyrannical Fury himself might not dare to speak to me like this here, and you, a guy who has obtained some residual power of the evil god, dare to speak so shamelessly here?"

Duanmu Huai grabbed the warhammer and raised it high.

"In the name of the Inquisition, I will send you to reunite with your Primarch, and your souls will burn and wail together in the flames of the Inquisition until they are completely reduced to ashes."

Both sides were silent for a second.

Then the next moment, the battle started again.
