How can a retired savior be considered retired if his price drops to 40,000?

Chapter 208 The Battle of Fate ([-])

Although I don’t know why, after Debit’s protection built on the foundation of the state religion was broken once, the entire battlefield never encountered any other attacks from “unknown sources”.

Under the premise that Tzeentch has proven that he or the demons under his command are capable of taking action, the sudden cessation of similar attacks is naturally ominous.But on the current battlefield, such changes are undoubtedly beneficial to the Iron Hands side.After Debit quickly restructured the defense in another form, he was "lucky" that neither Ferus Manus nor the Iron Hands Chapter present encountered another encounter that was impossible with their current capabilities. cope with the situation.

——Unfortunately, this does not mean that everything will end smoothly without any damage.

The gap in military strength still exists objectively. Even if Enkidu's "wisdom of the people" can barely level this point by fabricating vehicles with the concept of "artificial weapons" from the earth, it can only barely delay the defeat of the Iron Hands. That's all: they had to face not only the Chaos Astartes and the Host of Slaanesh, but also a Daemon Primarch.

The role that one original body can play on such a small-scale battlefield is unimaginable to ordinary people.As long as he is given time, and it does not even need to be a long time, Fulgrim can easily annihilate all the remaining members of the Primarch Guard of the Iron Hands with his own strength.

This forces Enkidu to maintain the effect of "Wisdom of the People" while also developing the function of "Lock of the Sky" to compete with Fulgrim on the battlefield.The dispersion of functions puts the divine weapons with the "Law God" function at a temporary disadvantage when facing off against an enemy who is both the original body (demigod) and the demon prince (endowed with divinity/demon nature). , this is something Enkidu himself can hardly imagine.

If he didn't need to hold back Fulgrim and gave him some time, he could also catch and kill the enemies one by one on this small battlefield; or if he didn't need to separate functional defenses As for the Iron Hands Chapter, if you give him some time, he can use his advantage in compatibility to kill Fulgrim, or at least destroy the opponent's current body.

But unfortunately, there is often no similar "if" in reality.Although it is annoying, the current delay and stalemate is the optimal solution on the battlefield - even if Enkidu is sure to kill the demon primarch, the soldiers of the Iron Hands have voluntarily sacrificed themselves. It is impossible to give up Ferrus Manus, who is currently protected at the center.

That is the most unacceptable loss for the empire in this current battle.

Fortunately, after a period of stalemate on the front battlefield, Mr. "The Most Unacceptable Loss" seems to have finally completed this phase of the project.

The roar of the machine still sounds painful and irritating, as if there is a danger of overloading at any time, but when this sound lasts for about 10 to [-] minutes subjectively, everyone will feel numb from it - including the person involved. .

Ferus was completing the final work almost mechanically, and the pattern displayed on the light screen floating in mid-air showed that the connection between the weird "generator" and the core concept of his essence had been basically completed.The blue-white and light-red rays of light were rigorously intertwined, as if they were some kind of blood vessels, and it seemed that energy began to flow in them in an orderly manner.

After the two different colors of light were confirmed to function normally and merged with each other, they disappeared into thin air under Ferus' own will.The mechanical arm holding the "generator" released its claws at the top, and the device that looked like a children's toy did not fall to the ground like common sense. Instead, it flew to Ferus as if it was attracted by a magnet. It is close to the core of the essence, and has changed its shape in the process, losing its too bright colors and too sleek appearance, and forming a unified style with other rough structures that are mostly black iron.

This is also the symptom that will appear in mysticism after it "completely becomes a part of Ferus".

Immediately afterwards, the blue-white spiritual core, which seemed to be burning hot, was put back into the iron-black protective shield by Ferus, and then the entire mechanical structure of the core melted into the light again.The re-lit etheric light quickly shrunk in size, shrinking to the size that Ferus Manus should have been - and then, amidst the sighs of the enemy and the cheers of his own side, wearing Medusa The Primarch of the Iron Hand, with his sand shell and holding the Forgebreaker's hammer, once again stood up from the light. His face showed inevitable fatigue, but at the same time he still carried an unbreakable perseverance that contained deep anger. .

"Fulgrim!" He didn't even take a few seconds to catch his breath or adjust his body that had just undergone a "transformation surgery" before he roared and strode forward without caring. Any calls coming from the surroundings were directed towards Fulgrim.

He is the one who can truly "counterpoint" with the demonic original body on this battlefield.

This is not a purely material universe. Ferus could have directly used an essential form that was conducive to combat to attack Fulgrim as he had done during the Webway War in the subspace, but he did not do so.He himself didn't understand the reason for this, it was more out of intuition.

From a rational perspective, it was clear that that might be the better solution, but emotionally, there was still something that Ferus couldn't explain and couldn't let go of.Perhaps it was some things that he couldn't explain and couldn't let go that made him choose this strategy that was particularly close to the development of Istvaan V. But this time, at least at this moment, he did still maintain He has a certain degree of rationality and is not completely carried away by anger.

It has been 1 years since we got to know each other, and 1 years have passed since our betrayal and confrontation of swords.No matter how fierce the emotion is, it will become gentle and mellow after 1 years of precipitation and fermentation, even if it is anger and pain.

During these 1 years, Ferus had asked Fulgrim countless times why he betrayed, why he fell, and why he committed such a horrific and despicable crime.Fulgrim didn't give him an answer, the Void didn't give him an answer, the Emperor didn't give him an answer, and Fujimaru Ritsuka, who reappeared after knowing everything from the illusion, didn't give him an answer either.

However, when he once again grasped the warhammer and stepped onto the battlefield after experiencing this painful transformation, he was able to face it all more prudently with a tired rationality - or when he saw the incarnation face to face again. When he saw Fulgrim, a demon prince whose original beauty and nobility had been distorted beyond recognition, and his joyful, crazy, but extremely empty eyes, Ferus suddenly understood:

The reality is that the answer to this question is not that important.What matters is how he should face such reality.

"Come on! Ferus -" the demon primarch, who transformed into a snake, chuckled and twisted quickly in the center of the battlefield, getting rid of most of Enkidu's diversionary attacks, "-that's how it should be. ! There must be this battle between you and me! Your success or failure and my life and death depend on this! Everything we have experienced for thousands of years is just to push us to today's ending!"

The words were followed by a loud bang.The battle between the two primarchs will always make people feel that the sky and the earth are changing color and the mountains and rivers are shaking. What's more, there is a lot of ether here that is easily affected by the corresponding energy.

Enkidu took the opportunity to withdraw almost all the chains, and began to concentrate on maintaining the effect of "Wisdom of the People", retreating from the front line against Fulgrim and waiting for the opportunity.The subsequent battle between Ferus and Fulgrim was so fast that the divine weapons were dizzying for a while.

"Your end is only death!" Ferrus Manus concluded at the starting point of this real "destined battle".
