Chapter 64 The Enemy is Inside the Tyrant

(0/100)

After his demonic possession level reached zero, with a series of cracking sounds from his body, Sun Qian successfully reverted to his human form—or more accurately, to the form of an Astartes.

He touched the wound on his shoulder and found that it was now just a scar, and that the scar must have been left when Loken fought Samus.

That's understandable.

After all, like the blessed child, switching between human and demon is not just a simple matter of wearing a different skin.

This process is equivalent to converting real objects into subspace energy, or conversely, using subspace energy to create real matter, much like re-3D printing. This process must be reshaped according to a certain template.

The question is, what is the benchmark for this template?

The demon form undoubtedly reflects its warp-like nature, so could the human form be...?

soul?

Of course, now is not the time to study this issue.

Sun Qian dragged his exhausted body toward the deck hatch, and less than a step away from the hatch, Anglong's still burly and strong body lay face down on the ground, motionless.

It can be seen that the "Blood Father" chainsaw axe thrown by Sun Qian is deeply embedded in the back of the Primarch's head, and blood mixed with some white liquid is flowing out of the wound. This is undoubtedly a fatal injury for an ordinary person.

Even so, Sun Qian could still observe that Angron's body was undulating very slightly. More importantly, he could clearly see from his right eye that the Primarch's body was still covered with a faint white light.

It can only be said that he truly deserves to be the son of an emperor; his physical vitality alone is beyond the realm of reason.

Recalling the battle just now, Sun Qian still felt lingering fear.

Although Sun Qian won in terms of the outcome, what if the enemy was not the nails controlling Angron's body, but the real Angron?

Then the outcome becomes unpredictable... This statement is somewhat self-deceptive.

While Angron, controlled by the nails, retains a monstrous physical constitution, he also retains a clear mind and thought process, but this significantly weakens Angron's combat power.

In the original history, after the Horus Rebellion, an old Chinese medicine doctor created a clone of Horus that perfectly replicated the Primarch's physical attributes, but this imposter was eventually executed by Abaddon himself.

Without a doubt, the true Primarch himself and merely possessing the Primarch's physical attributes are two completely different concepts.

Sun Qian had no intention of pulling out the axe stuck in Anglong's forehead. After all, if he were allowed to recover naturally, whether it was Anglong or Nail who woke up, they would both be tough opponents.

Regardless of the twists and turns, the strategic objective of capturing Angron was at least achieved.

Next, they'll return to the Great Tyrant to threaten the World Eaters into helping them escape!

Just then, accompanied by the roar of the Tyrant's engine, Sun Qian almost fell over due to the sudden shift in his center of gravity.

The ground—no, it should be said that the Great Tyrant is tilted?

Sun Qian grabbed the Butcher's Spike on Anglong's head to prevent him from slipping away, and then used his last bit of strength to rush toward the hatch.

"Open the hatch! Quickly!"

However, the adamantite blast-proof door leading to the inner deck did not slide open as usual.

The control panel on the door flashed a glaring deep red light—it was the "total lockdown" status light.

Sun Qian's heart sank, but he seemed to have expected this, and immediately pressed the emergency communication button next to him.

"Bridge, do you hear me! Lift the blockade and immediately open airlock number 7! This is my order as captain!"

However, Sun Qian was met with a few seconds of silence.

Seeing that the angle of inclination beneath his feet was getting steeper and steeper, Sun Qian decisively smashed open the protective shell of the control panel with his fist.

"Entering manual operation mode! Ranked privileges code: BX6HT—MDJKW—H2J4X—BX67W—TVVFG"

'

[Beep beep beep—Code error.]

Sun Qian's pupils suddenly contracted; he was no stranger to this situation.

Does this mean that fortunes change like a wheel?

My house was robbed?

The Great Tyrant, upper deck.

"What on earth is going on, Loken?!"

Grell Noktua roared angrily, raising his slug gun with murderous intent and pointing it at Loken.

"Who issued the order for a complete lockdown?!"

"If you want an answer, then this order was given by me, but I will explain it to you later."

Although Loken remained relatively calm, his eyes were already bloodshot.

He also raised his slingshot and pointed it at Noktua.

"Now, get out of the way if you don't want to die!"

Bang bang!!!

Both men pulled the triggers simultaneously, and the two explosive bombs clashed through the air—

Then, grazing their ears, they accurately struck the attackers behind both sides.

Loken breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look with a complicated expression at the corpse on the floor behind him that had just been shot in the head. He could see that the corpse was wearing the power armor of the World Eater.

The next second, a dark figure pounced out of the shadows and roughly shoved Loken against the wall.

Rat-a-tat-tat!!

A barrage of explosives swept past the spot where Loken had just been standing.

Noktua's expression changed, and he hurriedly tried to retaliate, only to find that it was an entire squad of World Eaters Astartes warriors, under the cover of fire from another squad of World Eaters—

No, they charged at them like wild beasts, wielding chainsaw axes, braving a hail of bullets that they couldn't distinguish between friend and foe.

But just then, a figure descended from the sky with the roar of heavy chainsaws in both hands.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Torgardon's face was devoid of its usual cynicism; now, with a stern expression, he wielded his heavy chainsword, mercilessly cleaving the World Eater warrior, armor and all, in two.

Meanwhile, the World Eater squad, providing long-range firepower, also fell to the ground, their lives taken by Thor Taviz's Chanabal saber.

However, the swordsman's face showed no joy at killing the enemy, only an indescribable sorrow.

The crisis was temporarily averted, but Cruz, who had pushed Loken against the wall to save his life, had no intention of letting go.

"I need an explanation, Loken! You personally promised us that those World Eaters were loyal warriors, so why did they suddenly attack us?!"

Everyone else quickly gathered around, and Loken looked around to see the ground already covered in blood.

And this isn't even all the enemies; most of them have already left.

"We all miscalculated."

"In which aspect?"

Noktua practically spat out the words through clenched teeth, as if he would kill Loken if he answered incorrectly.

"Should we bring these threats into the Great Tyrant? Or should we disregard Captain Sun Qian, who is still outside, and order a complete blockade of the Great Tyrant?"

"Neither."

Loken sighed and said in a serious tone.

"It was Sun Qian who suggested letting everyone in, and he also authorized me to issue the lockdown order... in order to activate the Geller force field."

A Geller force field? The group exchanged bewildered glances; they certainly knew what it was.

For safety reasons, activating the Geller force field does indeed come with a command to lock down the entire ship.

However, this is a device that should only be activated during subspace travel.

"But what we didn't expect was... Sun Qian was just declared dead by the Tyrant," to the point that his command privileges were reset, or rather, locked by something.

Loken looked at the red status light on the airlock, his expression somewhat bitter.

"Secondly, we all thought that the enemy's central control was located in Angron, so that the influence could be isolated by the Geller force field... but it seems that we were all very wrong."

"The real enemy has infiltrated our ship!"
