Chapter 610 Soul Grinder
at the same time.
Marquez King District.
Cheslatan Agricultural World.
The planet has entered its evening hours.
The engine roars from far to near.
A Thunderhawk gunboat streaked across the dusky sky.
Inside the gunship cabin, there were several people of different shapes and sizes standing, including a tall, bald Space Marine wearing an Assault Terminator power armor, two beautiful women wearing personal robes, and an Imperial Administrative Officer. A middle-aged man in official uniform. The side hatch of the gunboat was open, and the night wind blew into the cabin with a roar, making the hair of the two women fly, and the hem of the windbreaker-style robes also fluttered in the wind.
"Sir, two ladies."
The middle-aged man pointed to the ground and said:
“As you can see, it’s been a long, long time since the agricultural world of Cheslatan has harvested a single grain of food since the sky changed color. Our crops are getting weirder and weirder, and so are the soils. . The wheat that was just sown was fully mature the next day, and before we had time to harvest it, it all withered on the third day."
The four people in the gunship's engine room were none other than Acting Chapter Commanders Joe Star, Chen Xinxue, Chen Xinlu, and the Governor and Director of Cheslatan Agricultural World, Calvin.
Calvin continued:
"Then strange things happened one after another. Soon farmers discovered that the fruits produced by some fruit trees were actually in the shape of baby skeletons, and they also made hoarse cries. Agricultural machines that spread pesticides and fertilizers often malfunctioned, and their mouths rang out from time to time. The ground utters incomprehensible murmurs. The river occasionally changes direction and flows backwards from low to high. There are endless examples.”
The administrator sighed.
Sister Chen Xinxue listened silently.
In fact, they should have discovered the clues long ago.
Logically speaking, the agricultural world in the human empire is a large-scale and mechanized cyberpunk biochemical farm. The output far exceeds that of traditional agriculture, and supplying only three planets is not a problem at all. Although the route was cut off, the battle group's wormhole bridging device was enough to ensure timely supply of food.
But on the dining table of Gladys, the planetary governor of the hive world, there are still only egg whites and ant beef steaks, which means that there is a big problem with the supply of the agricultural world, and the scene in front of you is the problem - there is no end in sight. The vast farm is already overgrown with all kinds of strange weeds.
The leaves of these weeds are twisted and hideous.
Not even herbicides or flamethrowers can eradicate it.
"Now we are all supported by food reserves."
Listen to the lamentations and complaints from the agricultural director.
Everyone in the cabin could only remain silent.
The Thunderhawk gunship soon flew over the large farm.
Enter the city limits of the colonial stronghold.
Chen Xinxue stood on the edge of the hatch, holding the handrail with her palms, looking at the huge stretch of warehouse below. Low-temperature cold storage, hydroponic storage tanks, fertilizer workshops... and planned living areas for residents. However, in the center of the neat and uniform living area, a three-story villa building seems particularly abrupt and incompatible with the surrounding environment. It is stuck there like a nail house and is extremely conspicuous from the sky.
"What is that place?"
Chen Xinxue asked curiously, pointing to the villa.
"Oh, that's the former residence of Qingshan Khan."
Calvin talked about this with pride:
"Before Qingshan Khan became a Space Marine, he was an orphan in a colonial stronghold. That was the house he lived in when he was a child. We have kept it and the furniture and furnishings have not changed at all."
"oh?"
When Chen Xinxue and her sisters heard this, they immediately became interested.
I thought I could ask to go take a look later.
Let’s take a look at what the house Qingshan used to live in looked like.
However, the two of them did not know that the single villa given to Fu Qinghai by the colonial stronghold had long been bulldozed. This small villa was the house left to Feiyi's parents during their lifetime, and it carried some of Fu Qinghai's memories, so it was is retained.
The Thunderhawk gunship continued to fly forward smoothly.
Getting closer and closer to the small villa building.
From a conceptual perspective, the attraction of the agricultural world to the Demon Army of Tzeentch may not be as strong as the Great Library, a relic building in the hive world. Normally, the Demon Army of Nurgle would be interested in the agricultural world. But from the actual situation analysis, the agricultural world is related to whether the people in the entire star region can fill their stomachs. Of course, this is also the top priority for defense against demons.
Chen Xinlu kept staring at the small villa.
As she looked at it, she suddenly frowned:
"Sir Calvin."
"What's wrong ma'am?"
The agricultural director turned around quickly.
"Is anyone living in that house?"
Chen Xinlu asked, pointing to the small villa.
"How can it be?"
Calvin quickly denied it:
"We sealed the house long ago and no one except the Khan can enter."
"But the lights are on inside it."
Chen Xinlu said calmly.
Everyone quickly turned to look at the villa below.
A light did come on from the third floor window of the villa.
"How is this going?"
The agricultural director was shocked and said immediately:
"I'm going to ask the Planetary Defense Force."
"No, it's not the light..."
Chen Xinxue narrowed her eyes and whispered.
The shape and color of the light revealed from the window remained the same, but it gave people a completely different feeling. The light gradually became colder and more intense. The halo felt like a bleeding wound and the jagged bones inside. A twisted and pulsating aura formed around the roof. The light suddenly gathered and then spread, like a silent and strange fireworks billowing in the night sky.
"boom--"
The ground suddenly undulated!
It was as if a wave spread from the center of the villa to the surroundings, and the blood-red and pale light burned into the night. A violent explosion suddenly sounded, shaking reality. Beautiful flames spurted out violently from the door of the villa, and multiple flames were entangled together, merging, twisting, and growing. The roaring flames screamed and laughed as they flew up the spiral staircase to the roof and enveloped the small building in seconds, turning it into a giant torch.
The whole villa trembled like a living thing.
Scream at the nightmare that breaks into the real world.
The boundaries of the real universe have been shattered by violence.
Chaos has invaded Cheslatan.
The Demonic Army of Tzeentch actually chose this place!
There were different expressions on everyone's faces.
Choose to invade reality in Qingshan’s former residence.
"How provocative and blasphemous!!!"
Neither Chen Xinxue nor Chen Xinlu spoke yet.
Joestar was already roaring angrily.
The sisters were surprised to find that this acting chapter leader, who was usually taciturn and serious with a smile on his face, was suddenly as furious as a lion with its hair exploded. He turned his head and shouted at the Space Marine in charge of driving the Thunderhawk gunship in the front cabin:
"Get down, fire and shoot!"
"As you command, sir!"
came the reply from the Space Marine in the forward cabin.
The Thunderhawk gunship suddenly turned its head and dived downward.
The two women staggered and almost fell.
The roar on the ground grew louder and closer, like a typhoon blowing across the surface. The Thunderhawk gunship had just descended a certain distance when a ball of fire exploded in the door of the villa, and two door leaves flew out from the hinges. The destructive power of the shock wave was so great that it shook the gunboat. The blazing flames burst out and the villa was completely reduced to ashes.
"Ho! Ho! Ho--"
Countless subspace rifts extended from the ruins, and everyone in the gunboat could only see some pulsating, sickening light in the night. Something was roaring angrily, and its roar echoed throughout the night sky. The roar was followed by mechanical clicks and hisses, then crashes, explosions, and the sound of falling masonry, and finally human screams and inhuman gibberish.
The Thunderhawk gunship's engine roared violently.
A pull up to the sky again.
From this height, demons swarmed like insects. It was like someone had woven a tattered rug of abomination out of tears. Demons rampage through the streets, pouncing on panicked mortals. In the military barracks near the outer wall, the planetary defense forces have begun to counterattack.
"They can't resist it for long."
Chen Xinlu frowned and said in a deep voice.
The planetary defense forces trained by Kirshvitto were courageous and disciplined. Facing these surreal enemies, they formed a tight formation in the central area facing the distortion. Crazy and sinister colors burst from the walls, and those pink and blue misshapen flesh suddenly spread across the streets, and Tzeentch's horrific flames instantly devoured these mortals.
After low-level demons poured out of the rift in large numbers.
The roaring monster finally appeared.
This is a red behemoth, with six piston-driven metal mechanical spider legs on the chassis. Its torso is like a pile of strong muscles. Each leg is covered with blades and the symbol of chaos. It is larger than the giant warehouse. The ceiling is even higher. One arm is a composite weapon of giant pincers and cannons, and the other hand is some kind of giant iron claw. Its slender skull cracked open in an endless roar of rage, filled with fangs.
Demonic engine!
The demonic army of Tzeentch dispatched the daemonic engine!
The Soul Grinder, also known as the "Soul Grinder", is a bit like an enlarged version of another demonic engine, the "Chaos Desecrator". If Fu Qinghai were here at this time, he would definitely feel as expected when he saw this demonic engine - there are indeed not many soldiers under the command of Yunyun Krias, and they have already begun to borrow from the soul furnace of the invisible waste abyss. Demon mercenary.
The building in front of the soul grinder collapsed in the explosion. The soul grinder squeezed a way out between the support pillars. The roof of the warehouse collapsed and the ruins covered the ground behind the demon. Six giant mechanical legs pushed it forward, and each step was like a cannon strike, hammering the ground violently. The demon engine straightened up with its shoulders even higher than the wall, and its roar turned into a bone-shaking roar.
The Thunderhawk gunship began to circle around the Demon Engine. The battle cannon on its back was firing continuously, and the twin heavy bombs on its flanks were also pouring out firepower wildly. However, the twisted metal shell of the Soul Grinder was protected by immaterial supernatural energy. The heavy explosive shell did not even make a dent on the steel plate, and the area where the shell penetrated healed instantly.
"Deploy the anti-subspace tactics team immediately!"
Qiao Shida ordered into the communication channel.
"boom!"
Another cannon shell penetrated the Soul Grinder's shoulder. The Demon Engine tilted backwards to escape the shock wave. He raised the Reaper cannon on his right arm and chased the Thunderhawk gunship and fired a series of shells. The Space Marine pilot With a flick of his arm on the control stick, the gunboat's barrel rolled to avoid the cannonballs.
"Roar--"
The soul grinder raised his head and roared in anger.
Battle Cannons can damage Soul Grinders!
Spotting this, the Thunderhawk gunship dived again.
The Soul Grinder attacked again as the Thunderhawk gunship passed overhead. The newly formed psychic material hit the starboard wing, and the terrifying light engulfed the Thunderhawk gunship's composite armor. The gunboat's wing was cut off, liquid flowed from the edge of the fracture as the real world dissolved, and the boat's body shook and trembled.
"Let's jump down together!"
Chen Xinxue said loudly and decisively.
The two women jumped out of the cabin.
Let's fly together in the wind and get close to the demon engine. Karma Taj does not have flying magic. The two sisters can fly only by their equipment - the "Vortex Cyclone" on the middle finger of their right hand from the Ten Rings, and the flying ability given by the Ibesti Staff.
After losing one wing, the Thunderhawk gunship began to spin out of control, swaying and undulating, but finally made an emergency landing at a certain angle, plowing a deep trench in the street, barely stopping between the ruined exterior walls and withered fields.
The front hatch crashed to the ground.
Joestar and Calvin walked out.
He looked deeply at the demon engine in the distance.
"Inform the hermit chief and the interrogator."
Qiao Shida turned his head and ordered in a low voice.
He had a feeling that this battle would not be that simple.
Still wreaking havoc, the Soul Grinder moved through the cluster of warehouses and smashed every wall in its path into powder, reducing the warehouses storing meat and grain to rubble. Seeing this, the agricultural supervisor knelt on the ground, held his head and cried.
"Ziwu!" "Ziwu!" "Ziwu!"
Seven or eight rose-red energy beams lit up from among the ruins and instantly connected to the demon engine. The soul grinder's body suddenly froze and trembled abnormally. The dark red muscular body that was originally like a solid body suddenly began to flicker with mosaic-like fragments of blurred reality and reality. The anti-subspace tactics team emerged from the ruins of the warehouse, holding proton guns tightly in their hands.
"Ouch..."
The soul crusher was about to open his mouth and howl.
A spiral of icy cold air fell from the sky.
It was poured into its mouth in an instant, and the snow-white magic freezing air flowed down the bulging throat. A crackling sound sounded, and the fine ice crystals spread rapidly along the demon's internal organs from the inside out, and the blood froze instantly. , the heart stopped beating... the entire demon engine was frozen into an ice sculpture.
The roaring sound of the mechanical parts in the demon engine chassis suddenly intensified, trying to break the ice shell covering the joints and surface. At this moment, a magical secret fan outlined with golden lines spun out from the middle of the demon's chest. The fan weaved and cut back and forth around the demon, and then the ice sculpture collapsed.
The mechanical six-legged chassis is still intact, but the wide demon body bound to the chassis has disintegrated and disappeared into the real universe, revealing the figure behind:
Chen Xinlu is wearing a hanging ring in one hand and twisting a small golden ibis staff in the other. She is in a black widow-like superhero landing posture, and the hem of the split robe will fall down.
Chen Xinxue was suspended in mid-air, her black silk hair flying automatically without wind. The ten rings on her fingers shone brightly, except for one capsule-shaped ring that temporarily lost its luster.
The "Ice and Snow Storm" ring enters the cooling state.
The anti-subspace tactics team was shocked.
Do you think these two illegal psykers are so powerful?
In fact, the strength of the Chen Xinxue sisters in the Warhammer 40K universe has declined slightly - because they have not mastered the ability to cast spells with psychic powers and can only rely on rule infection. To be able to deal with this demonic engine cleanly and neatly, we mainly rely on two sets of powerful magic equipment, the Ten Rings and the Ibesti Staff.
Everyone hasn't had time to be happy yet.
"Roar--"
A new roar came from the crack.
Everyone turned their heads and looked in shock, only to hear the clicking sound of machinery and the muffled sound of hammering sound again inside the crack where the purple-red light was changing. One, two, three... a total of eight Soul Grinders slowly... Step out of the subspace rift.
A total of nine demon engines came!
Chen Xinxue and Chen Xinlu looked at each other.
They all saw shock in each other's eyes.
The Demon Army of Tzeentch really spent a lot of money this time.
As soon as the eight demon engines entered the real universe, they couldn't wait to start killing and destroying, eager to pay off the soul debt they owed. The Soul Grinders scattered and lunged forward, claws pounding the walls, and the Anti-Warp Tactics team jumped and crawled to the sides to avoid its attacks.
The wall instantly fell into pieces. In front of the demon engine, the chalky plastic steel wall was as completely unable to form an obstacle as the air. The Soul Grinder pushed forward angrily, shattering the ground with each step of its giant mechanical legs.
Behind them, demonic power boils from flickering rifts, drenched in the blood of the mortals they slaughter. A large group of Tzeentch's low-level demons jumped in celebration behind the huge daemon engine, and then screamed in a surge of magical flames. The fire burned away the demon's body, leaving only a shapeless, eerie puddle of evaporation.
Chen Xinxue retracted her arm.
On the left index finger, the "Fire Explosion" ring goes out.
Chen Xinxue turned around and looked around at the chaotic scene.
She knew that the chaos was about to begin.
…
"Follow closely, Xiaolu!"
Chen Xinxue shouted sharply.
Then he lowered his head and rolled and flew into the ruins, avoiding the continuous fire from the demon engine's long-range weapons. She attracted the firepower of a Soul Grinder. Chen Xinlu waited for the opportunity to come out from behind, using the "Bosat's Thunder" move and the "Denak's Hand" move. The Ibesti Staff provided her with a magic boost. , the soul grinder was torn to pieces between the golden-red thunder and the giant hand.
Killed another demon engine.
The two mages were already panting.
Despite possessing vast arcane knowledge and powerful magical powers, the two women are still human beings, not physical monsters like Space Marines. On the chaotic battlefield, they kept their nerves tense and cast spells continuously and rapidly. Chen Xinxue and Chen Xinlu's energy could not keep up.
Chen Xinxue led her sister to chase the soul grinder.
This time Chen Xinxue did not waste her precious mana on low-level demons such as the Pink Fear Demon and the Blue Fear Demon, but left all of it to the Soul Grinder. Because she also realized that only she and Xiaolu could deal with these demon engines, and other low-level demons could be handed over to the anti-subspace tactics team.
A pink demon tried to sneak up on the two of them. Its claws threw a gorgeous fireball, but Chen Xinxue easily dodged it and still found time to remind her sister:
"Be careful not to touch these flames!"
Whether the fireball thrown by the fear demon or the fire pillar spouted by the fire demon, they are all the legendary "Fire of Tzeentch". This kind of flame has no temperature and will not burn matter, but it will cause the attached body and soul to undergo violent mutations, turning young people into decrepit old people or crazy and abnormal growth of flesh and blood.
"clear!"
Chen Xinlu replied in a deep voice.
Chen Xinxue aimed at a soul grinder in the distance and clenched her palm into a fist. The gravity suddenly changed. The demon engine was instantly crushed by its huge mass and turned into a mess of flesh and blood. However, it was still trying to recover. , Chen Xinxue then fired another shot of dazzling white lightning. The arc enveloped the mechanical chassis and spread along the metal, burning the flesh and blood until it was charred and smoking.
Using "White Light" on her left thumb and "Lightning Storm" on her right middle finger, Chen Xinxue banished another Soul Grinder. With her powerful strength, she once again became the focus of the entire battlefield.
Chen Xinxue hooked her right little finger, and the area she was in instantly lost all light and became pitch black like a black hole. She skillfully used the "black light" ring to get out of sight again.
Chen Xinxue led Chen Xinlu and quietly walked around to the other side of the battlefield. She rotated the golden square gem on her right ring finger, preparing to use the most powerful "cutting ray" with the longest cooling time among the Ten Commandments to kill the remaining ones in one fell swoop. Demonic engine. Chen Xinxue lowered her voice and said:
"You will cover my back later."
Another powerful ring among the Ten Commandments, the "material reorganization" of the right thumb requires palm contact to take effect. The Demonic Engine was too terrifying. Chen Xinxue didn't want to get within five meters of the Soul Grinder, so she just stayed away and threw skills.
The Soul Grinders are wreaking havoc in the distance, and the Space Marines are hiding in the ruins trying to survive. Several demon engines suddenly bent over and opened their mouths, spewing out a stream of tumbling mutant mucus. The mucus quickly turned into a torrent of burning psychic flames and instantly swept away all the surrounding ruins. This is the soul grinder's most powerful weapon - the soul incineration cannon.
This kind of "phlegm bombing" is so powerful that all matter in the real universe melts in this impact. Even the special breastplate of the anti-subspace tactical team cannot stop it. The subspace barrier is filled with immaterial energy and then explodes. As they drove forward, several Space Marines ran out of the ruins bunker covered in psychic flames and in pain... They were quickly incinerated, leaving only a few charred corpses.
The two sisters opened a dimensional door.
Appeared near the Demon Engine in the blink of an eye.
The two mages faced the demon army back to back.
Without saying a word, Chen Xinxue raised her hand and swept across it. A thin golden ray shot out from the center of the ring. The cutting ray easily cut through the demon's body and the mechanical chassis. The demon's essence was torn apart, and the essence of spiritual energy flew into the air drop by drop, but the demon actions were not affected.
Chen Xinxue tried her best to move her arms, trying to kill all the soul grinders in one go, but suddenly she felt a huge resistance. One of the soul grinders actually raised an unusually huge sword of twisted energy that was constantly changing, and blocked it blatantly. Cut the ray without letting the thin golden line continue across the cut.
"Oops!"
Chen Xinxue spread her fingers and shouted:
"Shield of Seraphim!"
The shield composed of complex golden and red arcane runes blocked the demon engine and turned around to strike. The shield suddenly shattered and dissipated. Chen Xinxue took advantage of this gap to spin her fingers and opened the door to the dimension and prepared to escape. Suddenly she felt something was wrong in her heart——
Why didn't my sister make any move?
"Xiaolu...uhhh!"
Chen Xinxue looked dull and widened her eyes.
The body suddenly froze and made no movement.
A staff stabbed out of her chest.
Chen Xinxue lowered her head and stared blankly at her chest. The blood spread and dyed her robe red. The sister who was back to back with her had turned around, with a ferocious smile on her beautiful face. Chen Xinlu gently pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose, and her whole body suddenly changed, turning into a high-level humanoid demon wearing a blue sleeveless hooded robe. The demon's face was hidden under the hood like a ball. The fog makes it difficult to see clearly.
Changeling!
"Chen Xinlu" turned out to be a changeling spirit.
This blue humanoid demon is thin and holds a paranormal staff in one arm. The end of the staff is inserted into Chen Xinxue's back and penetrates her body. Three arms grow out of the other shoulder, and blue magic flames are waved in the palms of the hands. .
Suddenly, the changeling tilted his head.
The woman pierced by it on the staff shattered and disappeared.
The changeling suddenly raised his head and looked upward.
Chen Xinxue floated in the air again, looking down at the change spirit with a calm face. She gently raised a finger to show the ring on the back of her hand. A blue prismatic gemstone on the ring finger of her left hand shone slightly - "Psychic Amplification" , a ring that creates illusions by influencing other people's minds.
Changeling, deceived.
The devil's whole body suddenly erupted with blue magic flames.
This made it even more angry than killing it.
However, the two sisters were already prepared.
"Crimson Chain of Cytorak!"
A circle of sparks spun and lit up behind the demon. It had just opened a small circle, and a crimson energy rope instantly shot out from it, tightly entangling the Tzeentch demon, making it struggle desperately but unable to move. In the night sky, Chen Xinxue held up the sword of Emperor Weishan and descended from the sky.
"Uh-huh!"
The change spirit had no time to cast its magic.
He was split in half by Chen Xinxue's sword.
"Roar--"
The Soul Grinders began to shoot wildly into the sky.
However, the battle has dragged on until now.
Reinforcements from the Iron Buddha Chapter also arrived.
A warm white light lit up in the distance. The paladin Tristan strode over with his war hammer held high. The chief priest raised his hand and a platinum beam of light rose from the charred corpse in the ruins. The charred shell of the corpse cracked and faded and gradually melted into the warmth. In the light, several new space warriors stood up again.
A yellow flaming meteor streaked across the dark sky in the distance. When the meteor approached, it turned out to be a space warrior covered in blazing flames. He raised a flaming chainsword like a Hot Wheels in his hand. , riding a jet motorcycle also wrapped in raging flames.
Tzeentch's demonic army is defeated.
