Chapter 261 Battle of Purification
In the real universe, there are endless chaos pollution events, which are always different because of the different leading forces behind them.
But no matter whether the origins of these events are finally identified and which god they belong to, they still bring enough trouble to the human empire with their own characteristics.
The most worry-free among these cases are probably the believers of the Lord of Hosts. After all, given the character of the Lord of the Brass Throne, His followers disdain to appear in areas other than the frontal battlefield;
Therefore, apart from the death caused on the frontal battlefield, the threats posed by Him and His followers are actually the smallest part.
In comparison, the remaining three are much more troublesome.
Believers of Shalish always like to hide in the dark places, carefully cultivating all twisted souls with the control of desires.
Although His power is not as violent and shocking as that of the Lord of Hosts, those cults rooted within the Empire, with as strong vitality as fungi, will often bring huge pain to the Empire after a period of incubation.
The power of the Lord of Life is no less impressive.
Disease is His best gift to mankind, and it is also a powerful curse inherent in all living beings in the universe.
Finally, there is the protagonist of this incident, the believer of the Lord of Changes.
Based on his vocation, the Lord of Change has a fanatical taste for all conspiracies and deceptions.
He loves and appreciates all conspiracies and lies that are difficult to distinguish between true and false, and whether these conspiracies succeed or fail, He is happy to accept the final results.
There are even times when He prefers to see His followers fail.
But is this something people should be thankful for? of course not.
It should be noted that this apparent attitude of neutrality and inaction does not stem from His goodwill towards mankind;
The dual plans and accidents of all His divine powers are the root cause of this bad taste.
This weird behavior in this incident is the secret and hard-to-find traces of the devil, and the blasphemous rituals scattered all over the planet that are hard to distinguish between true and false.
Fortunately, there are still clues left in these chaotic events, and the trial court has enough experience and summarized procedures to deal with this situation.
The Angel of Punishment first launched an intervention operation:
On the strike cruiser high above the orbit, all detection arrays were turned on and activated.
After fixing its position, it only needs to wait for the planet's rotation to cover most of the planet's space in a short time.
The psionic choir on the battleship also began to work: relying on the power of the Emperor above the Star Torch, these powerful psykers amplified their own power through the matrix and carried out large-scale suppression towards the nearby subspace. and guidance.
This kind of large-scale intervention may not be efficient, but it is enough to buy a lot of time for the operators on the ground.
At this time, on the surface of the planet, the Gray Knights also spread out in formation, combing the entire planet for all abnormal locations at a distance of kilometers.
Inside the hive city, the abandoned elevator leading to the bottom floor woke up from its long dormancy.
Heavy footsteps sounded from deep in the corridor. It was Calvin who was holding the name tag of the Astra Militarum, following the guidance of the veteran's remnant soul, and came all the way here.
"The stench of subspace...is definitely here."
Holding the war hammer in his hand, Calvin followed the obvious psychic remnants in the air and walked toward the wasteland at the bottom of the hive.
Passing through the mountains made of garbage, and then crossing the underground river where sewage flowed, he finally saw the desecrated place placed here by the demon.
Countless human beings were gathered here, fixed on the inverted cross in a strange posture, arranged in a blasphemous array, surrounding the evil object in the center of the ceremony.
Their chests were cut open with sharp blades, and their red and black hearts were still beating;
The tongue on the face full of pain was cut off with a sharp knife, and the eyes were brutally gouged out, leaving only thin nerve cords connected to the eyeballs, like human wind chimes, placed in the magic circle.
The pollution of the subspace has merged them with the wooden piles. Countless eyeballs have grown in the ribs that have been opened like wings, and they continue to open and close with the arrival of Calvin.
"Blasphemy!"
The spiritual energy in Calvin spread like his stance, and white-gold flames burned along the way as he walked.
The evil thing that sensed the threat awakened from its dormancy, and the scarecrow-like body opened its mouth without a tongue as a demonstration to Calvin. The transparent ripples centered on it, after passing through the human wind chimes along the way, amplified layer by layer, toward Wave after wave of terrifying "ringtones" that reach deep into the soul are emitted outside.
Clang! bass!
The crisp metal impact was followed by the teeth-searing sound of metal friction.
The scarecrow that appeared behind Calvin instantly smiled at Calvin with a wide mouth, and then, carrying the huge rusty scythe on his back, he mysteriously disappeared into the thick fog that had arisen around him.
Calvin put down the war hammer in his hand and closed his eyes slightly to sense the movement of the demon. On the blue ring above his head, the crystal clear osmanthus leaves were shining one by one, brewing a terrifying excommunication.
Clang!
Clang!
The demon reappeared and attacked from behind Calvin, but failed in vain due to Calvin's careless blocking;
The angry demon let out a silent roar, and the sound of rapid slashes like afterimages filled the city, slashing at Calvin from all directions at the same time.
boom!
A huge aura erupted from around him, and after white-gold flames rolled across the sky, Calvin's tall figure stepped out of the flying dust.
The demon was no longer as active as before. It seemed like it had lost its soul and was being held in Calvin's hand like a dead object.
"It's not the original body..."
Calvin shook his head slightly. This was not unexpected, but he was still a little disappointed.
He took out the grenade containing promethium and the saint's ashes from his waist and threw it in the center of the "Human Wind Chimes" formation.
Amidst the huge explosions and flames, he casually used his spiritual energy to tear open the space barrier and rushed towards the other Gray Knights.
At the same time, other Gray Knights on the planet also made discoveries.
Relying on the convenience of the legion mode, they completed the standard tactical process in a short period of time from individual soldiers to explore and encounter enemies, to large groups to teleport and gather into the field, and then to rely on their numerical advantage to forcibly clear the field.
During this period, other friendly forces were still fighting in the distance, while always keeping an eye on this place.
Including Calvin, the rest of the Gray Knights are ready to support the warring areas at any time.
Dozens of sites for blasphemous rituals were discovered, and the phantoms of the great demons and various demons that resided in them were all swept away by the superior strength of the Gray Knights with thunderous force.
99 Chaos-contaminated sites were quickly cleared, and the Gray Knights participating in the battle did not even lose their status.
Tens of thousands of demons were purified on a large scale in one day, and the Gray Knights in legion mode did not even have a chance to invest in reserve troops.
But neither Calvin nor the Gray Knights took the demon's weakness lightly.
Because as 99, the holy number exclusive to the evil god, was reached, the entire planet was instantly shrouded in a huge fog.
Time and space became chaotic and impossible to rely on at this moment.
After the world was spinning, the Gray Knights who regained their senses discovered that the planet they were on at this time had undergone tremendous changes.
