Warhammer: I live under the watchful eyes of the gods

Chapter 227 The Dog of the Apex - The Beginning of the War

"Lieyan is my servant, because I am the master of hellfire, and I will teach you to burn all living beings."

It was a prayer engraved on the inner core of the apex dog.

With the utterance of a specific spell, Karl felt a small part of his consciousness being pulled out of his body and merged into a shell made of steel and crystal.

This process is not easy, and it is not easy to use one mind and two tasks even with the blessing of the field.

Fortunately, Karl, who has had many experiences of "soul extraction from the body", has already understood the pain that may be endured during this process.

Muscles and tendons were replaced by giant pistons and hydraulic fiber bundles. In the convergence and resonance of spiritual energy, the giant red eyes wrapped around the flame of spiritual energy gradually opened.

At this moment, the weapons in his hands were no longer ordinary bolt guns and small fists on power armor.

Instead, there is a huge cannon on the back and a huge iron hand that can easily crush everything around it.

The pistons and mechanical devices that had been dormant for hundreds of years were activated again, and the sharp sound from them was like the screams from hell, and they were using their powerful strength to warn all those who dared to be enemies.

At this moment, even if they seemed to be one body, the movements of the Kenny Tai secret sword order members who came up at the same time were suddenly stagnant because of the giant's sudden awakening.

This is unreasonable, how could this Titan known as the Apex Dog fall into Karl's hands?
But now is not the time to dwell on this issue.

"Stop him, immediately!"

Everyone present knew what would happen if that Titan went berserk here.

No matter how much it costs, the sphinx-like instruments under those pyramids must not be damaged.

So all the members of Kenny Tai's Secret Sword Order reached an agreement in an instant, and immediately continued to rush towards Karl with their swords raised.

They knew very well that no matter what kind of dirty method this Carl Price used to control the Apex Dog, as long as they could solve the root cause of the problem, they would probably be able to solve this runaway Warmaster Titan.

But the moment the apex dog woke up, the huge iron claw on its left side started a sweeping attack.

Facing the iron claws that swept towards them like a thick wall, half of the members of the Kennytai Secret Sword Order who were on the attacking surface had no choice but to retreat temporarily.

They have already completed the ether fusion with everyone around them, and they know very well that this punch can only sweep half of the surrounding area.

Although the huge size of the apex dog brings a devastating attack power, these warmaster-level titans also have a common problem that must exist-too bulky.

Unlike those more compact and flexible War Dog Titans, these big guys in the absolute sense

Being able to sweep the huge iron claws half a circle is already the limit of the apex dog.

If you want to turn it up a bit, it is very likely that the price will be the collapse and destruction of the entire mechanical structure.

Temporary retreat is not cowardly, and the blade masters of the way of offense and defense know this very well.

Therefore, the members of the Kennytai Secret Sword Order who were facing the dog of the apex chose to turn and retreat without hesitation.

And at the same time, those members of the Kennytai Secret Sword Order who were behind the apex dog accelerated their pace.

They are a whole.

Every member in this ether network is an integral part.

That is the result of their training so far.

To be able to wear such a heavy pair of power armor while stepping on a pair of "light dance steps" requires effort, and the details of the effort contained in it are simply terrifying.

And after a howling gust of wind, the heavy fist of the apex dog finally swept around fiercely and then hit the surface of the Fire Phoenix Pyramid heavily.

At this moment, it seemed that the whole world was shaking.

Even the blade master couldn't maintain his "light" and confident steps under such a tremor.

But even so, they will not stop their steps.

They also have their own creeds and responsibilities that they must fulfill.

And there happened to be a "fortunately" burnt version of Blade Master among them.

Looking at the huge iron claw figure of the dog that was about to climb to the top, every muscle in his body trembled.

After all the restrictions were lifted, he could feel his body disintegrating every time he took a step.

He had already been seriously injured in the previous explosion and collapse.

Even though the power armor on his body had already blocked most of the fragments for him, quite a few fragments still broke into his body.

Therefore, with every step he takes, he can rely on his clear "inner vision" function to feel the continuous pain caused by the fragments remaining in his body.

This ability, which was originally used for "inner vision", gave them a strong ability to control themselves.

It is precisely because of this that they can be connected to each other and become part of the Ethernet network, and through this network, they can achieve a perfect state of "interconnection and unity of all".

Bad news, he is in pain all over his body now because of the "inside vision" turned on.

Good news, because of the etheric secret method of Kennytai Secret Sword Order, this pain is shared equally by everyone.

Therefore, on the surface, only half of the members of Kenny Tai's Secret Sword Order, including the scorched version of the blade master, pushed towards Karl.

But in fact, what Karl needs to face has always been the entire 30 members of the Kenny Tai Secret Sword Order.

It's just that this scorched version of the blade master is most suitable for the current heat wave gushing out from the whole body of the apex dog.

Under Karl's control, it was almost the second after the apex dog's iron claw landed.

Its roaring engine immediately began to exert force, retracting the iron hand that was slightly trapped inside the outer wall of the Fire Phoenix Pyramid.

And when the blade master rushed to the claw, Karl had already climbed halfway to the iron claw.

It all seemed too late.

The scorching psychic flames gushing out from the gaps in the Apex Dog's armor almost blocked the footsteps of all members of the Kennytai Secret Sword Order.

Just like when Abbadan played against Carlofis.

It's just that this time the objects that have been tested by the flames have been changed.

And this flame is also the characteristic of this dog named Apex Titan.

As a "building" that remembers the Titan Legion of the Standing Stander, in addition to some conventional weapons, a large number of crystal cores that can cooperate with psychic combat are also installed on it.

These crystal nuclei are essentially psychic relay amplifiers.

In fact, these things are not much different from the sources of corruption that Karl saw in the underground of Frank No. [-] or on Istfan No. [-].

Those rotten crystal nuclei magnify the rotten aura, which is a representative of erosion.

At this moment, the crystal nucleus on the apex dog is mainly used for the special psionic flame amplification of the fire phoenix school.

But even so, the figure of the burnt version of the blade master is still advancing.

At this moment, Karl can no longer see the original color of his body.

In the raging flames, he still did what Abadan did before, recklessly holding up the spiritual energy sword that had been baked until the surface was slightly melted, and vainly tried to attack the dog Iron Claw who had just climbed to the top Karl on board.

"Well, a respectable opponent, but that's about it."

The spiritual energy surged, and the two heat-melting spells appeared in the void again out of thin air.

This takes advantage of the different densities of the flame psionic energy, simulating an inwardly recessed metal cover to produce the "Monroe effect", so that each time you can use the psionic energy of a normal spell, you can shoot two more powerful melt rays. special skills.

This principle is not difficult to understand for Karl who is proficient in the Canon of Mechanics, but he has never seen such a tricky way of using psionic power.

The idea of ​​combining the properties of subspace and the physical universe at the same time, I really didn't know it before he came.

It belongs to a little knowledge.

"No!"

In the unwilling roar of the scorched version of the blade master, two terrifying hot melt rays pierced his chest.

Accurate, deadly, efficient.

And as his lungs were punctured, he also lost the sound of exhaling.

But Carl still read a trace of unwillingness from his mouth.

"Hey, just wait for the lottery draw."

There was only so much he could do for this blade master of the Kennytai Secret Sword Order, whom he had never met before and whose name he didn't even know.

He could understand Magnus' choice to save the Legion;

He can understand Amon's sacrifice of himself to pave the way for the Thousand Sons Legion;

He could also understand why the blade master standing in front of him would try his best to stop his plan.

But just like those wars on ancient planets, it is often difficult to draw a clear line between right and wrong.

Fleeing to Chaos may indeed bring tangible benefits to a few people, but Karl, who knows the essence of the Four Gods, does not think that this kind of compromise can be exchanged for the future of mankind.

What they need is not a "singing and dancing" galaxy, after all, they were born in a violent emotional vortex.

And Karl, who has been "tied to the chariot" by the emperor, will naturally stand on the side of the human empire.

Therefore, the only thing he can do is to give them a decent exit.

As the left sharp paw of the apex dog gradually lifted up, the heat flow from its feet instantly improved several levels because it no longer needed to consider Karl's feelings.

A large number of flames spewed out, and the terrifying high temperature even caused the surrounding air to distort.

These psychic flames gushing out from the feet of this Warmaster Titan completely wiped out the idea of ​​the members of the Kennytai Secret Sword Order chasing after them.

So after seeing that there was nothing to be done, the remaining 29 members of the Kennytai Secret Sword Order began to disperse and retreat.

But if this allows this group of blade masters who have just chased me all the way back intact, then where will I put my Kashen's face.

Psychic energy and electrical energy gathered in the right arm of the apex dog, and condensed a plasma ball containing terrifying power in the originally dark and huge muzzle of the right arm.

And after everything was ready, the traitors exclaimed.

An unusually violent explosion erupted at the top of the Fire Phoenix Pyramid.

The thick red ion fusion melted everything in its path in an unstoppable manner.

All corruption and distortion are wiped out in the roar from the God of Myriad Opportunities at this moment.

When the scorching ion beam finally dissipated, it left a huge corrosion mark on the surface of the entire Huofeng Pyramid.

And under Karl's precise control, these attacks just paralyzed the various defense systems that come with the entire Fire Phoenix Pyramid.

Those concealed giant fixed turrets that had already noticed something was wrong with the apex dog and were desperately turning to attack in vain had not even had time to deploy, because they were stuck in the middle due to lack of energy supply.

The scope of this attack is so huge that if you look at it in the city of Tizka, the scorched area on the entire Huofeng Pyramid is about 2 blocks in size.

Even this is the result of Karl's incomplete access to the Thousand Sons Central Ethernet network.

According to his estimates, if it can fully access the nearby psionic network, this deliberate ion cannon charge attack can even destroy 6 blocks at a time.

But even due to insufficient energy supply, there are some limitations in performance.

At this moment the Apex Dog is still the Aether, a beast of war that can terrify any enemy.

And this, Karl lying on top of the top dog can testify.

The body of Astartes, which was tall enough in his eyes, was no different from an ant before this giant of war.

Standing on the slope of the outer wall of the Huofeng Pyramid.

Every step the Apex Dog takes down is embedded deep into the pyramid's walls.

Even if these walls deliberately use special alloys to protect the knowledge that was once contained inside, they cannot withstand the huge force from the dog's feet at the apex.

Every time he took a step, the entire Fire Phoenix Pyramid would tremble for a while.

Looking east, you can see the Critics Gallery, Skemis Hill, and the airport.

Each of these landmark buildings located between the old town of Tizca and the core pyramid complex is covered with densely packed defensive fortresses.

The entire old city of Tizca was plunged into chaos and darkness.

It was a by-product of the corruption that Magnus detonated the entire Prospero and all the Astartes in the Thousand Sons Fleet before.

Those civilians simply cannot withstand the erosion of such a measured power of the warp.

Therefore, distortion into all kinds of monsters is their only destination.

=Void shield activated successfully=
=The cooling of the flame sub-cannon is complete=
At the same time as the green light curtain was lit, the secondary guns located on the left and right sides of the Warmaster-class Titan named Apex Dog also completed their preparations for firing.

Of course, in terms of function and structure, compared to a pure-blood Warmaster Titan, the Apex Dog is actually more like a "Nightmare Titan" in essence.

Because of its special psychic control method, it allows it to replace all the carrying space originally reserved for members with weapons.

This gave the two secondary guns on its arms a terrifying ammunition load and a caliber beyond common sense.

Each scorching shell has the size of a "normal tank" (the original text is written like this, so the default is a 3k tank).

And when these shells whizzed one after another and destroyed the barrier instruments on Prospero that had the function of isolating psionic energy and detection.

It's time for the wolves.

…………

(Note: The dog of the apex is also translated as the king of the wolf clan, but if the translation of the king of the wolf clan is used, it is likely to cause some unnecessary confusion such as "the wolf king and the king of the wolf clan", but there are fewer words that are not used. A hint of irony is hereby stated.)
