Chapter 329 Unsealed, a monster that spans time and space
Iverson...
Calvin's eyes had complex emotions, and he had an understanding and memory beyond ordinary people's imagination for this word that often appeared on his desk.
The relationship between the two is irrelevant in the eyes of others.
One side is the new giant of the Holy Hammer Order;
On the other side is the Assassin Court, which was once famous for a while but has now faded away. It is just a branch under its command that is firmly controlled by the "Assassin Order".
Yes, today's Assassin's Court has long existed in name only.
The seven major monasteries in the past were completely controlled from top to bottom. Due to some unspeakable concerns, the Temple of Callidus and the Temple of Iverson, both famous for their close combat, were severely damaged. technical blockade.
The situation in the former is relatively stable, because the blocked technology does not involve the core.
As long as the ability to change is the core value of the Callidus, the dignity of the Callidus can be maintained.
Iverson Temple did not have such good luck, because in a sense, the suppression by the blocking technology this time was targeted.
In the battle of faith that took place in the Terra Palace, they showed too terrifying fighting power.
In the subsequent statistics, when the Assassin team with Iverson as the main force faced the group-level Astartes warriors, they achieved a conversion ratio of one to four on the frontal battlefield.
This brilliant performance undoubtedly stimulated a powerful group, and in the previous purges and assassinations, the Assassin's Court became the enemy of all members of the Senate.
Therefore, when the Supreme Minister rebelled and the purge of the losers came, the once-prominent Assassin Court was surrounded by enemies and no one could defend it.
The core technologies related to the Iverson Assassin have been completely sealed since then, and the technology for cultivating high-level members in the two training mechanisms of its branch is completely missing. Only the technology for cultivating low-level consumables is still maintained.
"Iverson is dead because there will never be a new top assassin-Eslon Dan." (The ranking of personnel within the Assassin Court is the same as that of the normal department of the empire, using five Roman letters, but in reverse order , the highest level is Eslon. Dan means level).
This sentence comes from a certain paragraph in a routine report of the Order of Assassins, the direct unit under the Inquisition's control over the Assassin's Court.
Calvin had seen this document before, but after learning about the Assassin Court in this world and the role it had played in history, he had no interest in saving these people.
It may indeed be a pity that the peak of a tribe disappears in the long history, but from the perspective of the overall interests of the human empire, this is a necessary sacrifice and price.
What's more...it's not lost.
Memory is a very wonderful thing. Its size and flow rate actually depend not only on your familiarity with it, but also on whether you are obsessed with it.
Calvin faced the Phoenix Lord's attack with his eyes closed, but his mind turned back to his career as an assassin:
One of the most unforgettable memories among his countless memories, that "story" that does not exist in this world and belongs to the assassin Calvin.
Anger, still anger...
The Allen Iverson Assassin struggled with rage his entire life. The martial arts that they are famous for, which are so violent that even Chaos is stunned, also rely on this kind of anger.
From student to apprentice; from apprentice to master, or from apprentice to goods.
The game between the Iversons and anger in the past generations has never stopped, and since the apprenticeship, they have each moved to a completely different destiny depending on the results of the game with the nature of this power.
Those who fail are completely controlled by anger and become expensive one-time gifts from the Empire to traitors and aliens.
Unable to control their desire for self-destruction, they can only be sealed with cell inhibitors and ice cellars to maintain their lives until the day they are allowed to bloom.
Will successful people be successful once and for all? No, an even more painful fate awaited them.
Because only after they have adapted to and mastered the low-level anger produced by chemical agents can they be qualified to come into contact with the anger agents that affect their genes.
The power brought by this preparation is so powerful that it can easily transform a skinny mortal into a monster more terrifying than an Astartes;
But this genetically mutated agent is so violent that once people who are not strong enough to withstand it are injected, the only fate that awaits them is disintegration and melting.
It is extremely residual. As long as there is a record of one use, even dozens of generations of reproduction cannot erase its ever-present toxicity at the genetic level. Therefore, every high-ranking member of Iverson is destined to have no descendants of any kind.
It is more contaminating. As long as there is experience in using it, even if uncontaminated frozen cells are used for cloning afterwards, the transferred spirit and memory can spontaneously synthesize this medicine in the new body.
This secret medicine is not only the core source of power for the Iversons, but also the darkness they fear;
It is not only the unparalleled blade that master assassins rely on to become famous, but also the curse that follows every senior member of Iverson throughout his life - the madman's sword.
It is nature's best gift to the empire, because only through its transformation can the master assassins control their anger from a cold perspective and enter the supreme fifth stage.
But it is also a kiss of darkness destined to be invincible. Because even if each master assassin successfully reaches that state, there is a clear limit to the number of times he can withstand the "Ice Fury" state - the number of missions he can perform.
Calvin was naturally one of those Iversons who had mastered the power of "Ice Fury"; and because of his outstanding physical talent, he was probably the furthest along the road of Ice Fury among all the Iversons in history. of that.
But it was limited to this, because the mortal Calvin in that time and space was outstanding enough.
But first of all, he did not have the opportunity to unlock his spiritual talent in his soul, nor was he fortunate enough to undergo the transformation of "baptism of holy blood" in his body.
At the end of his martial arts and body, he was only able to kill two Astartes head-on.
So the question is, where is the Calvin of this world?
If the Calvin of this world is willing to use this kind of power that can be described as tyrannical;
What if he is willing to bring this martial skill, which is limited to the mortal hero level due to the user's potential, to the strength of the original body level?
Does that mean that among the Primarchs once owned by the Empire, in addition to the Path of Terror of the Midnight Ghost and the Path of Shadow of the Lord of Shadows, there is a brand new path of assassination composed of pure violence? ?
No one can know the consequences of this hypothesis, since no one other than a certain Phoenix Lord had the misfortune to encounter a Primarch in that state...
"Um?"
Phoenix Lord, who was falling rapidly from mid-air, instinctively sensed abnormal signals from the changes in Calvin.
The body that once belonged to the tribe warrior Sanatan, every cell in the senses in its head screamed to warn their master.
But Annasul remained unmoved and insisted on her own judgment of the enemy. It wasn't that she ignored the instinctive warning, but that in her opinion, changing her posture when engaging the enemy was actually the same as changing her generals before the battle, both of which were a taboo on the battlefield.
In comparison, she would rather use her own skills to engage in a close fight with the enemy than retreat in panic after sensing the crisis and be chased by the enemy.
This is her confidence as the tribe's bishop and her confidence as a legendary Phoenix Lord.
But unfortunately, this confidence or arrogance did not last long.
When she descended close enough, she could clearly see the madness in Calvin's eyes with her amazing dynamic vision.
Even though he was the Phoenix Lord who had experienced thousands of years of fighting, he was also horrified by what kind of monster Calvin had unleashed from his heart before him.
