Chapter 583 First Clash: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
"Let the Chaos Egg go up and draw fire."
The tanks aimed at the firing positions and fired fiercely.
"Damn it, we still have to come and fight this hard. I wonder if those hunters have even gotten inside yet."
The mutant commander was somewhat confused, although the factory's firepower was temporarily suppressed by the deployment of large-caliber weapons.
However, this is the first time we have seen a joint rebellion between the Mechanicus and Astartes.
"It seems the world is about to change..."
"report!"
"speak."
"The Hunter team has successfully entered the factory and dealt with the errands on the way to the power distribution room. Now the troops need to maintain pressure and wait for the power to be cut off."
The commander nodded; his subordinate's words at least gave him a sliver of comfort.
He instructed the command team to continue according to plan, and then he opened the door of the command vehicle and got out to smoke.
The stimulants in the pork skin cigarettes relaxed his twitching brain, and looking at the factory billowing black smoke in the distance, he felt a pang of regret.
"When will this ever end..."
"Oh!"
Just as the commander was lamenting the pain of life, he instantly turned into a blood mist, which was then carried towards the command vehicle.
With a loud crash, the tank, which wasn't even a speed bump, was torn apart in mid-air, spinning as it went, signaling the soldiers to the impending danger.
"what happened?"
"I didn't see anything!"
"Drive the vehicle away! Get out of here!"
With a series of clanging sounds, the vehicles in the camp were quickly dismantled, and the soldiers could only watch helplessly as the front of the troop carriers was smashed into flattened pieces by an unseen force.
The rotating turret was spinning for a second, then suddenly stopped, and the machine spirit inside roared angrily.
Plasma shells appear out of thin air, unable to lock onto enemy tanks, and are instantly melted and destroyed.
The soldiers were stunned and terrified. They abandoned their armor and fled, but the unknown entity was not going to let them go.
"Buzz!"
The high-temperature steam enveloped an area of thirty to forty meters, outlining the enormous beast's figure in an exceptionally ferocious manner.
Its armor plates rustled, and then an immeasurable amount of decay radiation particles burst forth, their white trails covering the entire factory area.
The intensity of the particle beams is unknown, but being hit by even one means you're wailing and waiting for death.
"Beep beep beep... Identity verification successful."
"A pitiful life..."
The broken door opened with difficulty, and a huge figure squeezed into the hall while connecting to the signal receiver, jokingly lamenting the pain of life.
"Shoggoth, the electronic warfare result was already 1:0 578 Martian days ago. What, did your brain processing center get short-circuited by a cannonball?"
As the behemoth lost its cloaking force field, a lizard-like mechanical creature with a chain-like giant hammer at its tail began to emerge.
"Shoggoth's brain remains intact."
"Ding ding..."
A crisp metallic clang echoed between the claws and the processor, the cold sound beginning to reverberate through the drafty factory.
The giant beast stood upright, like a cat trying to steal some cured meat, yearning for knowledge that didn't belong to it.
"That's great... Let's make a new agreement, and I'll help you get rid of that nasty demon."
In return, it's an equal exchange: you tell me the secrets of Blackrock, and you become my assistant; in return, all my resources will be provided to you.
The claws slashed down with a screeching sound that made your teeth ache, carrying a sincere threat that was anything but benevolent.
“Shugos is grateful, but he doesn’t agree. He has friends and he can break free from Faraday’s control.”
The appearance of a series of real names made Faraday realize that Shoggoth had changed.
He couldn't get Shoggoth to hand over the knowledge system by any means, so he dismantled his body in an attempt to directly crack the processing center.
Unfortunately, the other party had already applied the Black Stone to his brain, and with his current technology, he was unable to dismantle it without damage.
But today seems to have given him hope.
When Shoggoth first arrived at the Church of Fuxing, he was already amazed by the new technology.
When he learned that the other person had once fallen into a broken tomb world, where they studied the secrets of the Black Stone undisturbed, he understood its mysteries.
His heart was filled with jealousy, and no one could stop him from acquiring true knowledge, not even Astartes or the Chaos Demons.
“Friend, Shoggoth actually has a demon friend. Well then, I’d like to see if your friend can rescue you.”
“Okay, he’s in the power distribution room. Go now, you should be able to run into him. Good luck, Hughes.”
Shoggoth's sense of certainty of victory infuriated Faraday, causing its sentiment indicators to fluctuate rapidly, resulting in a significant increase in the temperature of its pathways.
He didn't let the cooling system react; he wanted to maintain this rage until he caught that bastard and tortured him a thousand times over until Shoggoth's mind completely collapsed.
The hunter team, who had arrived at the power distribution room, successfully opened the gate, but what awaited them was not a succession of machine servants.
Instead, he was a solitary figure, clad in cobbled-together armor, twirling a white blade.
"Huff...huff...huff..."
He grabbed it in one go.
"Huff...huff...huff..."
He grabbed it in one go.
"As...Tate?"
The captain lowered his gun, then suddenly raised it again, looking at this unusual guy with some suspicion.
"puppet?"
"It doesn't seem like it."
"Damn it, it's all pieced together...too much of it."
"Damn it, I don't like it!"
Even the Chaos Cans were quite displeased with Lin Heng's attire. Seeing him alone with only one sword, they all drew their own melee weapons to teach him a lesson in manners.
One Astartes charged forward, followed by three or five cans of food. The sight of an Astartes charging at full speed was enough to send shivers down one's spine, let alone these ferocious figures.
Lin Heng, however, continued to sway his brow, waiting for them to approach.
"Whoosh...whoosh...whoosh...clang!"
With a clang, he drew his sword and slashed horizontally. The one who had bravely rushed forward was split in two in a flash of white light, slashing upwards, chopping downwards, and then turning to thrust.
The men who came up in no time were all killed, and the few who were holding the line only managed to catch a glimpse of the pause between growing beards.
"Damn it, have the higher-ups received the message... outside troops... damn it."
Looking at the mangled limbs and pieces of flesh scattered on the ground, the squad leader realized that they had been defeated by this mysterious canned food.
"The last person in line, return immediately and report the situation. The rest of you... awaken the power of the demon."
"Puff! Puff!"
At the captain's command, a drumbeat resembling a heartbeat suddenly echoed from the crackling electrical room.
The living beings began to emanate a thick, chaotic psychic energy, and obvious demonic shadows appeared behind them.
The dead rose from the ground, their wounds healed, their limbs regenerated, except for the one that had been split in two at the beginning.
"go!"
Ten afterimages stirred up trouble, ensuring only one could escape safely, while Lin Heng, who was waiting for their performance, clearly didn't take it seriously.
Sheathing the sword at his waist, he turned and twisted his hips, drawing the sword again to strike, the waves crashing against him.
Thump...th ...
The nine cans that had gained demonic power collapsed one after another, and the demonic shadows were silently banished back to their homeland.
Apart from that captain, and apart from that demon who suddenly revealed wings and crossed them in front of him.
"Hehehe... Little guy, your performance has impressed this demon lord quite a bit."
The crackling of the electric arc seemed to fade into the distance, and the free-floating charges gradually froze under the great demon's dramatic entrance.
"A demon like you doesn't seem like a new species. The weapon in your hand even has a bit of a Spirit race feel to it."
"Even the disguise of armor is so blasphemous, my friend, do you also hate the Empire?"
The Demon Lord of the Spirit spread its wings, and its armor immediately transformed into feathers. Soon, its signature bird beak chuckled.
"Of course," Lin Heng replied without hesitation.
"Gah gah, do you and I have the same enemy? Why kill each other?" Duoling spread out his bird claws and let the ebony staff rest on his shoulder.
Lin Heng raised his head and assumed a fighting stance, saying, "I hate the Empire, but what matters most is the essence you represent!"
Just as the two men, each with their own agendas, were about to make their move, the gate, which had been severed by the waves, was smashed open by the giant hammer.
"Damn demons! You...two of you?"
Faraday rushed into the power distribution room and was stunned to see that the two Demon Lords of the Spirit Realm were facing off inside.
The real and fake Dolls stared at each other, and the next moment one of them spread its wings and soared into the sky, shooting out thousands of dark blue 'Iron Feather Pear Blossoms'.
"Coward!"
The other spirit was furious and enraged. With a twirl of his scepter, flames formed three towering dragons that crashed into the imitator.
Both attacks erupted suddenly, unleashing a torrent of psionic energy—all deadly moves that shook the earth, caused houses to collapse, and elicited wails and howls, leaving everything in ruins.
Seeing the two birds start to fight, Faraday, who couldn't tell the difference, stopped caring about who was the fake.
He doesn't like anyone anyway, so he might as well just do whatever he wants!
A rapid-fire cannon ejected from the abdomen, a plasma ball exploded at one target, and a dorsal missile was launched to explode at the other.
The two demon lords either hid or defended themselves, which made them so angry that they cursed.
"Damn Faraday, you've got the wrong number, that guy is the imitator!"
Is your mom an open-source person?
"Go to hell, all of you!"
Faraday had never suppressed his emotions and senses, and now he was even more enraged. His whole body radiated energy as he swung his giant hammer and smashed it into the battlefield.
One of the birds, seeing the danger, quickly flapped its wings and flew away, but the other had no intention of letting it go. It used its 'illusionary chains' to hook the bird's legs and pull it back down from the sky.
Faraday noticed the change in Lin Heng's posture, and Dorling also realized that Faraday understood who the real bastard was.
The escape instantly becomes a matter of using leverage; the real killing move is a mid-air strike delivered by leveraging the momentum of the return.
"Ha! I, the demon, am still one step ahead."
A dark blue light burst forth from the scepter, and the concept of time receded from the lower-ranking demon lord.
The giant hammer crashed down, and the outcome seemed certain.
'Resurrected from a dead body'.
In an instant, the first canned food on the ground was launched into the air, its half-body holding a black sword that appeared out of thin air, and it attacked the jubilant Demon Lord from behind.
The giant hammer fell, the black sword pierced through, Lin Heng's clone dissipated, and the Demon Lord was also pierced through.
"We've fallen into their trap."
'Ascension to immortality'.
'Entropy Increasing Force Field'.
The Demon Lord shook his wings, wanting to detonate his clones in a mutual destruction, but Lin Heng's long-hidden ultimate technique was meant to take three thousand lives.
The force field was activated and the magic dissipated. With a single hand, the waves surged into his brain, and the surging spiritual energy shattered immediately.
Thousands of miles away, a deafening explosion occurred in the Demon Castle, and psychic flames, like a raging torrent, burned countless demons to ashes.
A furious roar extinguished the flames, and indistinctly, one could hear the words, "No one will be buried..."
With a thud, Lin Heng, who had been resurrected in another's body, fell to the ground, followed immediately by sharp claws.
The giant beast lifted Lin Heng up, surprised that this guy had tricked Duo Ling.
However, what shocked him even more was the weapon this guy was using; he could tell at a glance that the End on the ground was made of black stone.
"Hahaha, Ohm Messiah! You and Shoggoth are indeed connected in some way!"
"Yes, you caught me."
Faraday picked up the End and the Waves, excitedly dancing and laughing. The gloom in his heart was swept away, and his emotions and senses erupted with a torrent of numerical fluctuations.
"Thanks to the blessings of the Martian god, even Faraday Future has reached the pinnacle of technological achievement!"
Strike while the iron is hot, without stopping, Faraday returned to the front of the assembly line with half a corpse and weapons.
He held Lin Heng high so that Hughes could see him clearly, and then said casually:
"2:0. The agreement between you and Sage Hugh Ben still stands. You don't want your friend to get hurt because of you again, do you?"
The claws pinned Lin Heng to the machine's casing, once again demonstrating a juxtaposition of sincerity and threat.
"Alright, alright, Shoggoth promised Faraday, please don't hurt him!"
“Excellent, excellent.”
"Please lift the blockade. Shoggoth will also lift the Blackrock blockade at the same time."
"it is good."
Faraday agreed, but his first action was to dislocate Lin Heng's two arms.
"For safety's sake."
"Shoggoth understands..."
After completing the safety measures, Faraday reconnected to the signal receiver, and millions of data points were quickly decoded.
With a click, Shoggoth knew he was only one step away from freedom.
"Is it ready?" Lin Heng asked from the device.
“You have no right to speak!” Faraday said, tearing Lin Heng’s mouth apart with his claws.
“That’s fine,” Shoggoth replied.
"What? What are you talking about!"
Faraday sensed something was wrong; they weren't taking him seriously, and he seemed to realize what the problem was.
I haven't suppressed my emotions and senses for too long, and I haven't carefully assessed the controllability of the environment. This guy is someone who could really screw over a great demon.
Those two weapons are gone...
Also, he hasn't paid attention to his own subject for too long!
"Personality regression!"
The behemoth's body came to a standstill, and Faraday's consciousness quickly returned to the "Great Sage," as he was the first to read the data in front of him.
Then he saw a phantom on the ceiling descending towards him, its left hand undulating, its right hand ending.
"1!"
"Clang!"
