Chapter 279: Gap, Premeditated "Stealing"

Clang! Clang!

The two standard halberds collided with each other, making a dull sound, and then collided again under the swing of the two men.

The superhuman physical fitness and reaction speed made the offensive and defensive transitions between the two giants like a storm, which could only be detected by beings of the same level.

In the hands of the shield guard captain Nicholas, the model halberd fully demonstrated the intention of its designer;

In hundreds of times of hair-raising blocking and thunderous attacks, the martial arts of the imperial guards were fully demonstrated.

This is the accumulation of the imperial guards in thousands of years of fighting, and it is also the experience they faced when they fought under the Emperor and the entire galaxy.

On the other hand, Calvin on the other side is more special. He deliberately suppressed his strength and reaction, but he was calm at this time, and he seemed to be at ease under the continuous offensive of the imperial guard captain.

The skills learned from his various incarnations in countless timelines made Calvin have no fixed routines.

The center of gravity that moves forward and backward without any stagnation and the offensive like an antelope hanging its horns often thwart the long-planned purpose of the captain of the imperial guards invisibly.

The martial arts of the two supermen have exceeded the limits of mortal imagination. With a frequency of more than ten slashes per second and a violent fight lasting several minutes, the moves imagined by ordinary people have lost their inherent meaning in front of them.

Seconds are no longer the time unit of their confrontation. The millisecond-level confrontation and the tactical strike purpose at the level of neural links are the real level of struggle between the two war machines.

The complete personalized genetic modification of the imperial guards makes the cost of each Achilles-type power armor extremely expensive;

But as a return on this expensive investment, the neural interfaces on their bodies are all based on their personal characteristics and connected to the power armor at the optimal position.

This kind of adjustment, which often has only a few centimeters of deviation on the specific shell, represents a few milliseconds of neural reaction speed when confronting units of the same level.

The power armor made entirely with reference to personal body parameters also implements this fighting spirit at all costs.

The size of each of their armor plates has been precisely calculated. On the basis of ensuring the user's protection requirements, it is also necessary to ensure that the user's joints are completely unobstructed.

Even their servos are customized products. The data in these tiny chips are implanted into the brain nerves of the imperial guards since they were selected in childhood to collect data.

They accompany these imperial guards to grow up, recording their physical data from the most intuitive angle, while also collecting the host's martial arts habits and the muscle force curve.

With the collection of these data, the electromagnetic muscle bundles and power backpacks have been fine-tuned by the craftsmen in the palace area for decades. While ensuring the output intensity, the best response time with the host is given priority.

And all of this is finally reflected in front of Calvin, when Nicholas, the war beast, showed his ferocious claws in front of him.

"This is really the pinnacle product of human technological civilization on killing!"

Calvin exclaimed as he looked at Nicholas, who was sweating profusely in front of him.

Outside the empty training ground, all the Grey Knights who were connected by the psychic communication channel and were able to experience this skill in person also agreed.

Nicholas, covered by a golden helmet, was panting heavily. The oxygen that his powerful lungs fought for him was quickly restored by the distribution of adrenaline and electrolytes automatically injected by the servo.

When he heard Calvin's admiration, his eyes hidden behind the visor turned up fiercely.

"I am the peak, what are you?"

This kind of complaint flashed through his mind. He was also summarizing his gains from the battle just now, but his personal summary was far less efficient than the discussion of the Grey Knights in groups.

The Grey Knights who were watching the battle gradually quieted down in the psychic link. They also benefited a lot from the details shown in the confrontation between the two just now;

The picture that Calvin saw in the battle was completely transmitted to their brains from the link, and his collection and judgment of various details of the battle were also clearly annotated on the punctuation marks that kept wandering on Nicholas in the servo eyepiece.

In Nicholas' eyes, this battle was just a battle between Calvin and him on a whim.

But in the eyes of all the Grey Knights watching the battle, through this battle, they can be said to have completely understood the physical details of the creatures like the Imperial Guard.

Their martial arts, weapons, and even physical fitness were all marked one by one by Calvin with his brain that was far superior to that of ordinary people;

Even their martial arts and the hidden offensive logic in them were also described clearly in the temporary inference text in the next-level annotations.

The two people's destruction of each other's bodies has reached the neural level, and under this level of confrontation, the Grey Knights also know what kind of killing weapons the Imperial Guards have prepared for their relatives during the ten thousand years of repair in the palace.

"This point!" Marvin, the arbitrator of the third company of the Silver Blade, pointed to a certain moment in the battle record and made a special inference.

"This attack on the axillary nerve was after the direct confrontation concentrated on the right arm ten times, targeting the neural interface on our shoulder armor."

"It is likely correct."

Arbitrator Boris, who is also the squad commander of the third company, agreed.

"The Astartes' standard black carapace, the instability caused by the release of high-intensity signals on the shoulders, has obviously been discovered by our brothers."

"Same here!" Another non-commissioned officer from the first company also participated in the discussion.

He pointed to a moment when Calvin turned back and Nicholas' instinctive reaction was to attack Calvin's right foot.

"The Holy Shield type power armor is no different from the Mark series in terms of servo. In addition to the anti-pollution prayer coating, our leg electromagnetic muscle bundles also have the problem of performance attenuation."

"Why are they all coming for us?"

An arbiter who, judging from his coat of arms, served in the Second Company, questioned.

The entire channel went silent for an instant, and then started discussing the next detail as if nothing had happened...

Calvin's face remained motionless, as if he hadn't heard the conversation within the war group.

He reached out to help Nicholas in front of him and pulled him towards the edge of the training ground.

This successful "teaching-level" stealing made him very satisfied. Many details of the battle have benefited the new sons of Calvin a lot after Nicholas performed them;

Even some of the special handling methods in the battle were not clear to Nicholas himself. However, through the deduction of Calvin's brain with terrifying computing power, he also found the original prototype by comparing it with the battle history of the Forbidden Forces.

"Your skills are amazing. From every detail of your body, I can feel the golden ambition that represents the human spirit!"

"Ashamed..."

Nicholas answered a little perfunctorily, obviously not yet out of the previous battle.

Calvin's martial arts skills were very different from his expectations, and he could still retain power throughout the whole process without using psychic powers.

This was the result of him deliberately suppressing his physical fitness and fighting with all his strength.

Of course the original body was extremely powerful, this was something he had expected.

But this kind of abnormal and purely martial suppression made Nicholas doubt the results of his training over the years while recalling the resume record left by Calvin in the throne room.

There are nearly complete records of the existence of each Primarch in the Throne Court.

In these records, each of the sacred Primarchs has more or less obtained a part of the Emperor's power that is different from mortals.

Each of them has several powerful powers, but there must be a core strength that cannot be achieved by other original bodies.

So the question is, what are Calvin’s core qualities?

Is it possible that psychic abilities are not his core specialty?

This is very different from the inference of the Tower of Hegemony!

Nicholas sorted out the messy information in his brain, and for a moment he lost interest in being polite to Calvin...
