In a short moment, everything seemed to be at a standstill. Even Fabius, who had undergone many transformations and "upgrades" on himself, could not clearly see the black shadow and movements behind the original clone.
The "Phoenix Guards" responsible for guarding the hall had no time to react and could only "helplessly" watch as their original body was brutally beheaded.
??!!
However, the clone original "human" noticed the movement behind him, and his handsome, white face suddenly showed an expression of extreme consternation, and he used all his strength to dodge to the right, trying his best to replace his head and neck at the cost of losing his left arm.
The end of separation.
However, the slender, sharp power double-edged claws dancing with faint blue lightning deliberately slowed down.
Just before he was about to touch the neck of the original clone, he seemed to have deliberately changed his course of action. Not only did he fail to complete the beheading, he also failed to cut off the left arm of the original clone.
?
The clone original body that successfully "dodged" the attack, through the original body level reaction speed and quick thinking, naturally discovered the swing of the lightning claw and the change in the trajectory of the attack.
But it didn't have time to think too much, it just immediately moved away from the throne, and casually took out an exquisitely shaped epee that looked like a fencing match from the exhibition stand nearby to use as a defensive weapon.
at this time…
"Boom! Boom!"
The flow of time has returned to normal, and the sound of magnetic boots stepping on the floor tiles can be heard in the hall.
Without looking back, the original clone knew that its Phoenix Guards were surrounding it, ready to help it fight the enemy together.
As for Fabius?
Even though he was cloned by this guy, the clone master also understood that in the face of the current situation, Fabius would definitely choose to withdraw from the hall first.
Either wait and see what happens, or prepare to pack up and run away.
It turned out that Fabius came to the center of the hall unknowingly, just as the original clone expected.
!!
But when Fabius saw clearly the shadow standing behind the throne and attacking its masterpiece (the original cloning body), he suddenly showed a very different look and turned around to run away.
but…
"Buzz~——————!" Suddenly there was more movement of power claws being recharged in the hall.
"Bang!!" The defensive force field and psychic barrier of the special ceramic armor were directly smashed by these sudden power claws.
"Hey!" Immediately afterwards, the body was violently cut, and the sound of tearing could be heard in the hall.
"Ah!!" Finally, Fabius screamed.
I saw that when this extremely evil guy wanted to escape, many Glory Guards equipped with exclusive Terminator armor, but with more advanced appearance and models, all looked like the black shadows that had previously "sneaked" the cloned original body in the blink of an eye.
In a short time, the concealment state was released, and all the Emperor's Children present were surrounded.
Fabius also bumped into one of the Honor Guards, who was about four meters tall and had blood-colored wings on both sides of his helmet.
Its end was extremely miserable.
Being violently "dismantled" by the Honor Guard, in just one second he was transformed from an Astartes, a pharmacist whose body had been strengthened and blessed in various ways, to a twisted and struggling "human stick" lying on the ground.
”.
now.
More than sixty Honor Guards appeared almost "out of thin air". Their armors were painted in dark blue, ink blue and blood red, and were hung with paper versions of "Human Truth" and decorations related to bats and skeletons.
The most important thing is that the melee weapons of these more than 60 giants are all double-edged power claws. The long-range weapons are only equipped with parallel bolt guns. No one has any rocket launchers or plasma cannons.
All in order to be infinitely close to "absolute concealment".
Dark blue, blood red, and stealth, all the characteristics are very obvious. This Glory Guard, which suddenly appeared with the black shadow, has joined the human society of the main universe as an official organization. Its scale has not decreased but has increased. Even the name of the regiment has not changed. At present,
The elite of the Night Lords, who remain at 240,000, are also the "bodyguards" of the original body——
Blood Armor Guard.
Then, the shadow who was able to mobilize the blood-armored guards and almost behead the cloned original body was actually the midnight ghost Conrad.
!!
Realizing the situation in front of them, the Phoenix Guards quickly divided into two groups, swinging their weapons and blades towards Conrad and the blood-armored guards who scattered and surrounded them.
The two sides confront each other.
No one could fire first.
The cloned original body, which was also mixed with the most cutting-edge technology and spiritual energy from the physical universe and the alien space, and had complete memories, stared at Conrad with a frown.
You know, this is a different space, its realm of chaos, but Conrad, who has a physical body, still sneaks here quietly, which shows that his brother is better than before in terms of shielding breath and spiritual energy.
This makes its expression more solemn.
However, the original clone has no intention of considering itself invincible. As long as it can fight face to face, its brother's stealth skills seem to be useless!
"."
Conrad, on the other hand, glanced at the clone "brother" wordlessly, then ignored him, turned his attention to "Human Stick" Fabius, and said briefly:
"Bring it to the doctor."
“…”
After receiving the signal and cutting off his limbs, the blood-armored guard nodded silently, retracted the lightning claw on his left arm, freed his index finger, picked up Fabius with his thumb, opened the teleportation device and disappeared into the hall.
Just as Conrad looked away, the original clone took the opportunity to rush in with his sword, and his body was wrapped in a lavender psychic energy.
This time, it seems that the Chaos side "does not respect martial ethics".
"嘡嘡嘡!!"
As soon as the original body moved, the Phoenix Guards, whose number was three times more than that of the Blood Armored Guards, immediately took action and began to fire .75cal and 1.0cal caliber explosive arrows.
"The lackey who serves the false emperor! Die!"
"For humanity!!"
At the same time, there were many Phoenix Guards waving gorgeous war spears, shouting "for humanity", and charging towards the Blood Armored Guards.
It seems that in the eyes of these fallen Astartes, they are the real "descendants" of mankind, and the humans in the physical universe who have been injected with the vaccine seem to have long ceased to be "pure".
"Qiang!!"
As for the two original bodies, a deafening clash of metals broke out, smashing and smashing.
The original clone struck first, but was unable to injure Conrad, who was defending behind him.
After all, the original clone did not wear powered armor, and its speed, strength, and reaction were all inferior to that of Conrad, who had undergone G-gland implantation and transformation surgery and was still wearing the original armor.
Gathered in the center of the hall, at the back, the two primarchs' respective guards were competing, but they were in an evenly matched state.
It's not that the Blood Armor Guards are inferior to the Phoenix Guards, but that every Blood Armor Guard needs to deal with three or more Phoenix Guards at the same time.
"Zheng!!"
A blood-armored guard just used the power claw of his right hand to blast away a power spear that was jumping from the purple lightning position.
Then the next moment, more than a dozen 1.0 cal caliber explosive arrows containing extreme chaotic spiritual energy came one after another.
"Boom! Boom!!"
The Chaos Bolt hit the energy shield generated by the Terminator. The thick smoke produced by the explosion, mixed with purple lightning, immediately enveloped the arc-shaped shield, seriously obstructing the visual field of vision.
Immediately afterwards, another Phoenix Guard held a heavy sword with both hands and took the opportunity to stab the back of the besieged Blood Armor Guard from an angle.
"Qiang!!"
However, the power claw on the blood-armored guard's left hand thrust out of the thick fog and easily tipped the heavy sword's edge to one side.
At the same time, the huge body of the Blood Armor Guard also rushed out of the thick fog, and the power claw of his right hand slashed at the Phoenix Guard who failed to make a sneak attack.
"Zi——!!"
The blue lightning with a temperature exceeding 100 million degrees collided violently with the defensive barrier that can cause "waves" and "distortion" in the space.
Just a face-to-face encounter.
Withstanding a ton-level force of unknown magnitude, the defensive barrier and the Phoenix Guard cracked the floor tiles and caused them to sink.
In less than a second, the defensive barrier could no longer hold up, and completely collapsed and dispersed in all directions like water ripples.
Before the Phoenix Guard could adjust its angle, he raised his arms to block with his heavy sword...
"Bah!!"
The double-edged power claw struck the Phoenix Guard's left shoulder and cut extremely smoothly, splitting the fine armor and burning the "perfect" body.
"Ah——!!" Phoenix Guard yelled in pain with a metallic tone.
From the shoulders, chest, to the upper side of the lower abdomen, the power claws seemed to stop deliberately.
It wasn't the blood-armored guard's mercy and overflowing kindness. It was the blood-armored guard who was not satisfied with this. He also freed up his left hand that had completed the action, and cooperated with his right hand to pierce two pairs of sharp claws into the Phoenix Guard's abdomen, and then...
"Tsk--!!!" a sound came out.
The two pairs of sharp claws tore the Phoenix Guard into several pieces.
The blood mist exploded, and intestines, meat residue, and bone fragments also spattered in all directions.
Solve one.
There are two more…
"嘡嘡嘡!"
But this time!
The Phoenix Guard in the distance chose to fire continuously, and the Phoenix Guard who had wielded the power spear also rushed forward quickly, seizing the opportunity created by the dead brother.
The spear tip was stabbed, the bolt was hit, and in less than a blink of an eye, the energy shield withstood the concentrated fire attack.
However, before the power spear could actually penetrate the shield, the blood-armored guard had already turned around and repeated the "hand-tearing" action before.
"puff!!"
Flesh and blood flew everywhere.
After taking care of the two around him, the Blood Armored Guard finally had some free time to shoot at the last fallen brother who kept shooting Chaos Bolts at him.
Actually.
It seemed like they had gone through many "rounds" with each other and had fierce battles, but everything was limited to just three or four seconds.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is simply a gust of wind blowing past, and then vaguely seeing an explosion, thick fog, and lightning.
The so-called "fighting between gods" is nothing more than this.
at the same time.
If the energy shields and psychic barriers of some "little weak" or weak blood armored guards are shattered by the incoming chaos attack...
A vague golden stance will surround the blood-armored guard, blocking any threats that may cause substantial damage to the blood-armored guard's terminator armor or body.
See this.
The Phoenix Guards naturally sensed that the "false emperor" was "making trouble".
Even though he was able to kill the enemy, he was counterattacked because of this extremely "cheating" method. No matter what, it's unfair.
But before he even had time to let out a war cry to complain, this kind of battle that could have ended in a lose-lose situation ended quickly due to unfair treatment and an overwhelming situation.
More than ten seconds later.
This splendid jade hall with all kinds of artworks is already littered with corpses. However, it would be more appropriate to use corpses to spread the floor.
What is "weird" is that if these Phoenix Guards unfortunately die in a different space after undergoing various transformations by Fabius (demons and demons, and Chaos Astartes often interact with each other, casualties are inevitable),
It should have been possible to reshape the body and resurrect it, but now there is no movement.
"False Emperor!!"
The original clone witnessed the scene before him and immediately forced Conrad back.
How could it not understand that it must be the "pseudo" human emperor "hiding" in the main universe that caused the complete death of its descendants.
Although it knows that it is a life born through special cloning technology, and even its soul is only a fragment provided by Slaanesh, it has a complete memory, and even if its heart is corrupted, it has never fallen into a state of madness.
It treats its descendants many times better than Fulgrim (who was possessed by the devil) in Universe 03 before his fall, which is why the original clone is furious.
"Brother." But Conrad, who was standing not far away and was on guard, took the initiative to speak, interrupting the original clone's anger, and said in a melancholy tone:
"At the beginning, you were the one who taught me how to control the legions and how to manage planets and sectors. You were also my most trusted brother four hundred years ago...
Without you, I might not have been able to integrate into the original empire, let alone get along with other brothers. Although the results are not good, I still want to say thank you."
??
The original cloning body was unable to react for a while.
really.
In the memory of his mind, after the so-called father (Emperor Zero Three) left Conrad to it, it carefully imparted various experiences to ensure that this somewhat crazy brother who shouted "The future is destined" every day could successfully take over.
Legion.
Moreover, the clone master also discovered through Fulgrim's memory that even though Conrad's "love" status in his heart was not even among the top three, he was still the most trustworthy and entrusted brother.
Hearing Conrad's words of thanks, the clone master was stunned on the spot and couldn't figure out what the midnight ghost in front of him was thinking.
As for Conrad…
The reason why he said this is because Fulgrim, who was reborn, did not remember the past between them at all.
And by saying what he said to the original cloning body and "releasing" it appropriately, he may have hoped that through the cloning of the original body, he could personally say thank you to his brothers from four hundred years ago, and then gain complete relief.
"So brother..." At this time, Conrad once again showed kindness and understanding (Lightning Claw)'s blue stance, "I will try to alleviate your pain as much as possible, rest in peace."
When the words fell, Conrad burst out with true speed and reaction, and released his own unique spiritual energy. A pair of bloody wings spread out behind him.
"disappear",
"flash".
Before the original clone could figure out the situation, Conrad was already standing behind him.
Immediately afterwards…
The head of the original clone was separated from the body.
Moreover, when the handsome head hit the ground, it made a "dong, dong" sound and rolled down the stairs.
Later, Conrad ordered the blood-armored guards who were watching: "Take the body back to the doctor, and tell Russ that we have eliminated a potential threat on behalf of the expeditionary force."
