Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

boom!

The huge sound sounded again, but this time it was the sound of Calvin smashing into the ground with his armor on.

The weight of close to [-] tons was concentrated on an area the size of the original body's feet. Whether it was the stone floor with low metal content or the original body's own bones, they were all subjected to unprecedented tests.

But the situation of the latter is much better. After all, the overall structure of the power armor determines that the bones only share a small amount of support.

But what the former encountered was absolutely unbearable, so after jumping up from the lava, the Primarch only drew a short curve in the air, and then re-inserted himself into the ground.

... This is a bit embarrassing, Calvin jumped out of the ground again with a dusty face, and realized the crux of the problem in mid-air, and began to infuse his spiritual energy into the "primary heart".

The icy air centered on him, freezing everything around him in a short time, and it was still spreading outward at a rapid speed.

boom!It was the sound of a giant falling to the ground again.

But the portion of liquid metal that relies on psionic energy to be transformed into weightlessness is increasing, and the strength of the ground is also freezing up sharply.After this leap, the depth of Calvin's impact on the ground has improved significantly...

The mechanical priests on the track kept observing the ground the whole time, and they also felt strange after Calvin's second jump.

"The data is abnormal?" Solan was the first to discover the problem, but Mayne misunderstood his meaning.

"Is the gravity parameter abnormal?"

"No, it's abnormal quality!" Solan looked at the rather embarrassed Primarch on the screen, and stretched out his hand to make the holographic projection display Calvin's real-time data. At the same time that the dazzling red quality parameter at the bottom of all numbers appeared, slowly gives his conclusion:

"I don't know the reason, but he is... like carrying a titan on his back."

The mechanical priests looked at each other, and no one could give a reasonable explanation for Calvin's abnormality.

Before they could react, Calvin on the ground had already completed self-adjustment within a few breaths:
After the jumping and falling process went back and forth 10 times, leaving a series of deep pits on the ground of Selinde Crater, Calvin finally managed to control the weight on his body to an acceptable range on the ground.

Of course, this is not to say that Calvin completed the spiritual transformation of all liquid metal in such a short period of time, but that he finally reacted after several attempts and used spiritual energy to expand the contact area between his legs and the ground .

A thin, transparent membrane stretched from Calvin's soles to the surrounding area, and it shattered instantly after the next impact, and was then rebuilt the next second, reinforced by a more subtle circuit of psionic energy, endowed with greater physical strength. strength.

This can be said to be a certain deformation of the energy shield, and it will also be Calvin's way of walking for quite some time in the future.

Because even if all the liquid metal with psionic energy is converted, once he enters the combat state, the first thing Calvin has to face is to solve the problem of the ability to withstand the battlefield...

"Let's do this first..." Mayne took the lead to turn his attention away from the holographic projection, and the high-ranking priests no longer entangled in the abnormality of the original body.

The foundry director sat silently on the throne, and all the priests on the quiet bridge waited eagerly until the primarch in the holographic projection completely left the range of the crater. The mechanical legion approached Sailinde.

"Throne, what's next..."

Fading, who was in charge of the Order of Returning Origins, and Crasso, who was in charge of the Titan Society, looked at each other, and then took a step forward to ask questions under the eyes of the Director of Casting.

"Follow the agreement." Mayne nodded for confirmation.

"Yes!" The two priests who mastered the core forces of the Forge World bowed and retreated, and the signal transmission device behind them had sent the mobilization order to the ground.

In the roaring forge and noisy factory, countless mechanical legions on patrol and on standby received orders;

Buried deep underground but as huge as the dwelling place of the gods, dozens of giants made of steel opened their eyes...

"Strike the bell once! Push the lever, start the piston and pump!"

Countless priests wearing the emblem of Hepo stood in front of the mechanical phalanx, praying frantically to the chariots and cannons.

"Toll the bell twice! Press the button, start the engine, fire the turbo, and breathe life into it!"

Hundreds of high-ranking priests personally handed over the core key to the pilot, and then stood at the feet of the Titan to guide the sacred ceremony of awakening the machine soul and restarting the plasma engine.

"Toll the bell three times! Sing in unison, and praise the God of all chances!"

Amidst countless praises, the transport fleet and the Titan Ark descended from the sky, and most of the armed forces of the Forge World began to gather towards the orbit under Mayne's order.

"I have to go."

A few hours later, in the capital of the Forge World of Hepper, Calvin, who was late because he refused to take any air vehicle in the atmosphere, spoke to the high-level officials of the Forge World of Heper next to the transport boat temporarily dispatched by the Indefatigable Crusade.

At this time, in the direction of Sailinde, the receiving work of the God of the North Wind has been completed.

Although they are extremely curious about the Primarch's harvest underground, after achieving their ideal goal, the top leaders of the foundry world still show sufficient respect and restraint to the Primarch based on the friendship (force) between the two parties.

"The God of Myriad Opportunities bless you, the support we promised is ready, just waiting for your order." Mayne said to Calvin, looking at the battleships gathered in the orbit.

"The empire will remember your loyalty," Calvin replied meaningfully, and then bid farewell to him, and boarded the deck of the transport ship with the honor guard.

The huge transport ship trembled slightly the moment the original body boarded the ship, and then flew out of the atmosphere under the roar of the plasma engine.

"Do you want to wait for them to be together?" Tabers' voice sounded in the cabin, apparently doubting the speed of the Mechanicus' fleet.

"Let's go first, let them arrive at the battlefield as planned." Calvin replied, and then cut off the communication.

The deck of the Indefatigable Crusade was already visible, and a reminder of boarding preparations came from the wheelhouse of the transport boat. After a brief conversation with the members of the honor guard, they confirmed their encounter in Hepper.Calvin led the honor guard down through the locks opened by the transport boat, and went straight back to the residence on the top floor of the battleship.

The engine of the battleship started, and the huge body slowly left the berth of the star port and headed for the gravitational blank area in the galaxy - Manzeville point.

Calvin inside the battleship rejected the visits of the imperial guards and others, and walked to the transmission array room of the battleship alone.

He needs a quiet space to check the changes in his power armor, and this space should be strong enough to provide energy for psionic amplification.

One more.
