Chapter 234 The Rise of the Primarch: The Power of Vito
The core in the plasma reactor is shining with a dazzling blue light. The light that shines like an artificial sun is rapidly brightening. The ring array surrounding the core is also rotating rapidly. Those silver energy rings have almost become Afterimage.
Countless energy lightnings filled its inside, crackling and roaring energy was injected into the void shield system along the surrounding violently trembling pipelines. As the engine power suddenly increased, the energy halo began to tremble like a support column that was about to collapse. The shining light engulfed everything around it like an exploding supernova.
The blue light gradually turned into white. The technical sergeant wearing a red-painted helmet of the Mechanicus looked at the dashboard. His robotic arm kept rapidly adjusting the surrounding data throttles. He tried his best to control the roaring The reactor energy, but as the strength of the void shield was completely maxed out, the reactor became more and more out of control.
The red warning data almost exploded, and the sirens rang loudly all around. The technical sergeant dodged sideways to avoid a throttle valve falling from his head. White gas shot out from it, pushing the hose to fly around, and the white cooling Smoke was spraying everywhere.
The technical sergeant looked at the collapsed pipes, brackets and collapsed walls one by one around him and strode to the data terminal on the other side. The sergeant looked at the horror above and looked through the holographic helmet in shock, "Omnisiah and Emperor Emperor, what caused the explosion outside?"
The technical sergeant quickly switched the communication channel and quickly contacted Chapter Commander Terrasius, "Chapter Commander! Although the impact of the explosion was blocked by the void shield, its power was too great, and the void shield could not completely block its shock wave!"
He looked at the incredible monitoring data on the screen and marveled at the sudden increase in earthquake sensing data. "The shock wave hitting Sosa Mountain now is equivalent to a magnitude 18 earthquake! The main structure of the fortress is seriously damaged! A serious landslide is likely to occur. !”
"Thank you, sergeant, we already know." Terrasius flew to avoid the collapsed marble pillar. The white stone pillar broke and collapsed during the earthquake. With great difficulty, Terrasius managed to get up and smash it on the ground. Move out of the way.
Terrasius stood in front of the gate, and all the battle brothers looked at the violently shaking gate. The entire Sosa Mountain was shaking violently, and billowing dust poured down from their heads and fell on them. Everyone was transformed by this. Got disgraced.
This earthquake of more than ten magnitudes shattered the pipe network above the head, and a thick pipe network hit the fortress hall. Terrasius turned to look at the soldiers who were avoiding him. This was not the only pipe that fell. Soon the entire fortress hall began to collapse and shatter, the marble columns shattered and fell, large cracks on the ground climbed up the walls and extended to the roof, and the exquisite murals on the entire dome began to collapse and fall.
Everyone started to dodge in all directions. The fragments hitting the ground like meteorites made all the warriors start to dodge in all directions. Terrasius also dragged Mark to avoid a falling marble pillar. The people around him immediately He ducked backwards, then started dodging more debris falling from above.
Bell pulled the gun and dodged sideways to avoid the falling stones above his head, and then retreated to avoid the falling bricks on the wall. Ragna beside him stepped forward and smashed a falling stone with a punch. , used his body to block Lilith's head, blocking her from the falling gravel.
"What a gentleman." Lilith smiled and touched Ragnar's breastplate. The Space Wolf lowered his head and looked at Lilith and laughed, "Fenris's fine tradition is to serve beauties and it is their duty to serve!"
"Fart, protecting beautiful ladies is obviously the culture of chivalry, why did it become the responsibility of you rough guys?" Lancelot leaned over from the side and got a shield from somewhere. He put the shield up to block himself and Ragna, above Lilith's head, the three of them were hiding under a large shield.
Countless gravel and collapsed fragments hit the shield, and the shattered remains slid down along the edge of the shield, as if there was a rainstorm of gravel and powder all around.
Ragnar and Lancelot held the shield together. Lilith stood under the shield and the two of them and turned to look aside. Apparently Eisenstein got this shield. The Imperial Fist held the shield high to block the attack above his head. Rubble, beneath him was a Scythe of the Emperor Space Marine pinned to the ground by a broken stone pillar, with the Captain protecting him.
In the center of the hall, Olaf was using psychic lightning to shatter the falling large pieces of rubble. The boulders that fell from the dome were shattered by lightning into countless small stones. The torrential rain of rubble fell from Dingling sounds fell from the air and struck the soldiers' armor.
Lancelot stared at the shield and looked around. The entire fortress was collapsing in the earthquake. More and more debris almost drowned them. "I said, is the marshal's ultimate move too big? We all Almost buried alive."
"That's right, does that bitch want to bury us, and then steal my vodka reserves! And mead! He has ulterior motives and is very cruel!" Ragnar concluded loudly, his focus was as strange as ever, but they Indeed, he was almost buried alive.
"Well, probably not. I guess the ultimate move is almost finished." Lilith raised her hand to brush away the dust from her hair. The two space warriors looked down at him.
"When will it be finished?" Ragnar asked. Lilith smiled and raised her finger. The earthquake stopped the moment he raised his finger, "Now."
The earthquake stopped, and the buildings around and above him collapsed. Therathius stood up from the rubble. Countless dust and debris fell from him. The warband leader picked up his sickle from the ground and walked around the huge debris to the main hall.
"The officers of each company counted the casualties and dug out the brothers buried below." Therathius's order was quickly implemented, and the officers of each company and platoon began to act. They counted the casualties in the fortress hall that had become half a ruin, organized the team, and dug out the soldiers who were half buried in the ruins.
But what made Therathius feel relieved was that the casualties did not seem to be large, and no soldiers died. Considering that the peak just now was close to the vibration of a magnitude 20 earthquake, such a result was completely blessed by the Emperor.
"Okay, open the door, he is expected to come back." Lilith walked out from under the shield and said, she walked past the warband leader indifferently, as if she completely ignored the warband leader, she stood in front of the door and snapped her fingers to order everyone.
Terasius turned his head and looked at the mortal woman, feeling unhappy and strange. Mark also came up to look at her, "How dare this woman order Astartes? A mortal?"
"Don't be so strange, brothers, she dares to do more than you think." Ragnar threw away his shield and laughed. He was covered with dust, but it was obvious that the wild wolf cub didn't care at all, but barked like a happy little wolf cub.
"Open the door, the marshal is probably on the way." Lancelot patted the dust on his shoulders and added. Terasius then looked at Bell. The Ultramarines came up with a gun and nodded. Terasius then nodded to him and looked at the steel door in front of him.
"Open the door." Terasius's order was transmitted to the main control room through the communicator, and soon there was a response there. The tall gray iron fortress gate slowly opened with a series of heavy machinery transmission, and the hydraulic device pushed open the fortress gate with a low roar.
The gate carved with countless sacred patterns slowly opened and closed outwards. The process was not smooth. The colonnade and mountain structure outside the gate had almost collapsed. Countless rubble and ruins blocked the gate, so the gate had to be pushed to open them. But praising the power of the God of All Machines, the gate was still slowly opened successfully.
The ruins and rubble outside the gate were pushed to both sides. The sky completely covered by dust clouds only projected a gray light like the color of death. Terasius and the others walked to the front of the gate, and what they saw was a doomsday scene.
The sky was covered with dust, the broken earth and the collapsed mountains. The Chaos traitors and their heavy equipment that were outside the fortress not long ago were all gone. The only thing left was the incomplete territory of Leman Russ. The tracks of the steel war beast were all broken, and the thick armor on the front was completely torn into rags.
The whole land was covered with broken cracks, the most eye-catching of which was a huge rift valley that was one kilometer wide and so long that the end was invisible. The ground of the entire continent was twitched, and it was scattered on the ground like a fixed tsunami on land.
"Emperor, did they drop the extinction order weapon on Sosa?" Mark exclaimed as he looked at this doomsday scene. The whole planet had completely turned into a dead world, and everything was completely flattened in the explosion just now.
Thrasius said nothing, because he saw a figure walking from the distant horizon. The windbreaker behind him was lifted up with the dust sweeping around the ground. The boots inlaid with silver iron sheets walked on the dry land, walked through the doomsday wasteland and walked to the fortress stairs.
To be precise, it was no longer a staircase, because all the staircase pavement had been completely powdered, and only a section of earth slope remained, but he still walked up the earth slope step by step.
"Fuck, is our Thunderhawk gone?" he asked, climbing up as he spoke. Ragnar walked out of the gate with his arms folded and looked at the man in front of him with a snort of laughter.
"Yes, if you blew it to ashes, and if you noticed, the entire fortress was almost blown to ashes by you." Ragnar said, and Bell behind him also walked out of the gate. He held the grenade launcher and frowned slightly at the person who came.
"The void shield was almost overloaded, sir, as you said, we shrunk the void shield to the minimum range, and the maximum power output defense almost didn't hold up. Your estimate was seriously wrong."
The man smiled awkwardly and scratched his head, then raised his eyes and saw the beautiful silver-haired lady. He folded his arms and looked at him from inside with a mocking expression.
"Did he say that the explosion you caused caused a planetary earthquake? No? Then I tell you, you almost buried us all and ruined my hair!" Lilith grabbed her dusty hair and said resentfully. Terasius and Mark looked at Lilith with confusion. Is the focus on hair?
The man walked to the door and looked at the ruins around him, nodding thoughtfully, "It seems... a little beyond my expectations."
"How much?" Lilith asked with one hand on her waist. The man smiled and raised his finger to indicate, "A little bit bigger."
He looked at the people in front of him clapping awkwardly and decided to change the subject immediately, "The good news is that half of the enemies on the Sosa continent are dead. I think I killed most of the landing forces of the Midnight Lords and the Word Bearers, along with a large number of demons and heavy weapons. I am really awesome."
Vito raised his neck in a boastful manner and put his hands on his hips to show everyone the "results" behind him. The effect was very good, because it was not only Thracius and Mark, but also Eisenstein, Olaf and Ragnar, Lancelot. Especially, Bell was shocked looking at this doomsday scene.
Only Loken looked much calmer. Eisenstein turned to look at Loken, his expression still shocked, "Brother, have you ever seen a marshal do something similar?"
Loken inserted his gun into the holster and nodded. He tried hard to clean the dust off his body, but obviously it would take a lot of tools to clean up those stains, but Loken still tried very hard to make himself look decent.
"Yes, I have seen it once, and I was in disbelief like you at that time, but... I think you will get used to it. You haven't seen the effect of the marshal's anger, and I don't want to see it again." Loken was calm. He said, but several people around him, including the leader of the Scythe of the Emperor, looked shocked. They all turned to look at Vito in front of them.
The latter smiled and relaxed his fingers, and a small bolt of lightning jumped between him, seeming to show everyone how he did it, but this was not Vito's main task now. He looked towards Terrasius, holding the scythe, smiled.
"If I remember correctly, you are Terrasius, right? The new Chapter Master of the Emperor's Scythe." Vito said with a smile. Terrasius looked at Vito and his shock did not fade away. He nodded silently. He nodded, even forgetting what he should say.
Vito smiled jokingly and glanced at Mark on the side, then looked back at the Chapter Leader, "I am Vito Constantine. I think Chapter Commander Calgar mentioned me, right?"
"Yes, Chapter Master Calgar mentioned you. He said that you were an outstanding inquisitor who helped the Ultramarines in the First Tyranid War and had countless achievements worthy of respect, but..."
"But what?" Vito crossed his arms and said with a smile. Terrasius watched Vito raise his eyes after a moment of silence. He looked at the ruined wasteland in front of him, "I don't think this is what the inquisitor can do, sir. ”
Lilith burst out laughing. She suppressed her laughter and finally suppressed it. Terrasius and Mark looked at Lilith very confused. Vito also looked at the two of them with an amused smile. He shrugged. shrug.
"Tell me, Chapter Commander, who is also called Vito Constantine?"
Vito's question made Mark and Terrasius look at each other. Captain Mark pondered hesitantly, "There are many important people named Vito Constantine, including many saints. I think" "Captain , look at the scene behind and guess upward, "
Mark followed Vito's suggestion. He looked at the ruined wasteland full of broken blocks. His expression gradually became incredible, but it seemed to be the only real answer. He looked at Vito in shock and didn't dare to He exclaimed in belief, "Are you Supreme Marshal Vito Constantine?!"
"That's right, I'm the one below." Vito smiled and bowed to several people, "Supreme Marshal and Judge, Vito Constantine is at your service."
Terrasius looked at Vito and obviously still couldn't believe this possibility, Supreme Marshal? How is this possible, Emperor! But when he saw with his own eyes the scene of destruction caused by Vito, he knew that this was the only explanation, the only reasonable and credible explanation.
Terrasius took off his helmet. He looked at Vito in front of him. Constantine immediately knelt down on one knee. Mark also immediately knelt down with the chapter leader. The two supermen knelt in front of Vito and bowed their heads with pride. head.
"Terasius, the leader of the Scythe of the Emperor, is reporting to you. Lord High Marshal, I believe you were sent by the Emperor. I will lead the entire regiment to obey all your orders, even to the death."
Vito smiled and stepped forward and patted Terrasius's shoulder armor, "It's not exactly the Emperor who sent me here, but get up, Chapter Commander. I still need your help for something, stand up and say it."
Terrasius nodded and stood up. He looked at Vito in front of him with respect, his tired face instantly brightened, "Then why are you here? Marshal."
"For this." Vito said and motioned for Bell to take out the things. The latter immediately bypassed Mark and walked forward to turn the backpack over. He took out the rotating Necronomicon artifact from the tactical backpack. The mini-pyramid was handed to Vito, suspended in the Marshal's palm.
Terrasius and Mark looked at the thing and looked at each other in confusion. Vito looked at the confused two and smiled. He looked down at the artifact in front of him, "This is a key that can be used to restart the guardian behind you. The 10,000-year-old Sosa Lighthouse.”
"Restarting the lighthouse? This is impossible, sir. I remember clearly that the lighthouse was overloaded to destroy the Night Lords fleet during the Battle of Sousa ten thousand years ago. It has been completely damaged since then." Mark immediately added, obviously he has no knowledge of history. Not bad.
"Yes, Captain, but overloading does not mean damage. In fact, the lighthouse is just down, and the Empire lacks the means to restart it so it thinks it is broken, but now we have it." Vito said, holding up his hands. The artifact held up the rotating pyramid and appeared in front of the two people.
"This is the key to restarting the lighthouse. Take us to the lighthouse. I will restart the lighthouse and break the subspace storm, just like it did during the Shadow Crusade during the Great Rebellion. At that time, the empire's reinforcements can be guided to jump into Macragge." Vito said and looked at the Chapter Master, who looked at the artifact and thought about it, but quickly nodded, and although he didn't quite understand, he decided to obey the High Marshal's order.
"Yes, sir. Please follow me. I will personally escort you to the lighthouse control room." Terasius said, looking at Mark and nodding, "Captain, reorganize the brothers to immediately deploy defenses around the fortress and rebuild the defense line during this window period."
Mark nodded and prepared to go in to organize the manpower, but just as he started, Vito raised his hand to signal him to stop. Vito smiled and pointed to the track above his head, "The Chaos ground forces have just been wiped out. I estimate that it will take some time to redeploy. Let the soldiers rest first. I guess they are exhausted."
"Ha! That's right, unless the Midnight Lords go all-in, I guess we can take a break. Does anyone have wine?" Ragnar said with a smile, but found that no one seemed to respond to him. The confused wolf poked Lancelot on the side with his elbow.
"Don't hide it! I know you must have wine! Although your wine tastes like water, it's barely drinkable, take it out." Ragnar said, but Lancelot still ignored him, and looked up at something in the sky, which made Ragnar very puzzled and confused.
"Are you stupid?" "Shut up, idiot, look at the sky."
Lancelot grabbed Ragnar's head and straightened his head and lifted it up. Now Ragnar could see the shocking thing above his head, it was a battleship!
Under the gaze of everyone, a heavy destroyer and a battleship painted with the Midnight Lord logo broke out of the gray clouds. The huge ship rushed into the atmosphere from the cosmic orbit and broke into the planet with blazing flames. The bright flames of the giant thrusters lit up the entire cloud, pushing the battleship to rush over rapidly.
"Are they crazy?! Once the warship enters the atmosphere, it can't climb up and can only crash!" Bell shouted, but Olaf on the side shook his head and looked at the warship in shock and admiration.
"No, Bell, they are going to crash, and they are going to crash into the fortress." Olaf said that the warship had already crashed, and the heavy destroyer directly crashed into the Sosa Mountain. The shock wave caused by the collision instantly poured down and washed over everyone. Vito raised his hand to block his face to block the shock wave.
His eyes looked up from the corner of his palm, and he saw the heavy destroyer hit the void shield. The warship accelerated and hit the void shield at a speed close to that of an interstellar star. Almost instantly, all the gun barrels on the head of the warship were broken, and the armor layer was shattered and exploded one by one at the same time.
But its almost suicidal attack instantly broke through the weak void shield. The heavy destroyer smashed the void shield and crashed directly into the interior of the Sosa Mountain. The huge ship opened fire at the end, completely penetrating the front half of the entire warship and smashing it into the fortress monastery.
The broken rocks caused by the collision tilted down, and huge stones hit Vito and others. Before everyone dodged, Vito raised his hand and summoned a shield to block all the falling debris.
Terasius looked at the ruins of the fortress falling above his head, and looked at the destroyer above his head through the fragments. Almost immediately, the alarm sounded throughout the fortress, and an emergency communication came from the communicator.
Terasius turned on the communication, and dense gunshots and shouts of killing came from the communicator. The dense exchange of fire and fighting sounds of various weapons almost overwhelmed the voice of the communication sergeant, but he still raised his voice to send an alarm in the chaos.
"Captain! The warship of the Night Lords crashed into the core layer! A large number of Night Lords traitors poured out of the warships and attacked us!" The sergeant shouted and raised his gun to fire fiercely. He cursed the traitors with vicious words, and his fingers kept pulling the trigger of the explosive bombs to shoot one explosive bomb after another at the traitors around him.
"They are rushing to the lighthouse control room. We are doing our best to stop them, but we continue to support!" The sergeant shouted and there was a sound of slashing. The sergeant roared and threw away the bolt gun that sounded broken, and drew out the roaring chainsaw sword with his backhand, "Farewell brothers, for the Emperor! For the war group! Die, stinky bat!"
With a fierce collision between the chainsaw sword and the power claw, everything was over. The sound of the communicator stopped abruptly. Terasius put down his helmet and looked into the fortress. He knew that the situation was now extremely critical.
"Mark! Organize all the capable brothers to rush to the control room. We must defend the lighthouse!" Terasius said as he raised his sickle, but Mark looked at the exhausted warriors receiving treatment in the hall. He turned his head and looked at the warband leader anxiously.
"Brothers need to rest. Many of them are exhausted in the battle outside the fortress, and almost all of them are injured." "This is not an excuse, Mark. The Emperor is calling us! We can't abandon our mission. We must cover the Marshal to go to the control room, let the brothers organize, and follow me to kill!"
Thrasius said, holding the sickle and preparing to move forward, but he was stopped by Vito as soon as he took a step. The Supreme Marshal drew his sword and blocked the commander. The latter lowered his head and looked at Vito in confusion, "My lord, you said you must go to the control room. We will cover you to kill. Even if the whole army is wiped out, we will not disgrace the glory and mission of the Primarch."
"Believe me, Chapter Captain, your Primarch would rather you live, so let me say a few words to the soldiers." Vito said as he walked into the fortress gate with a sword. The six Space Marines and Lilith who came with him followed him into the fortress, leaving only the Chapter Captain Theseus and Captain Mark outside.
Young Therathus looked at Vito whose back was blocked by the Space Marines and shouted, "My Lord, what are you going to do? We are in a hurry and don't have time to do unnecessary things."
"Awaken their power, Chapter Master, let the Emperor's light give them power, I think this is very important." Vito raised the burning Phoenix Sword and said.
Therathus looked at the sword, the burning blade, as if he had witnessed the legendary flaming holy sword of the Emperor himself, and witnessed the sacred fire of the Emperor himself.
