Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 200: The Iron Man Beats Coz
The Iron Man that landed here was not the same model as the one that rescued Guilliman on Nuceria.

The iron man helper that Luo Xi brought over was about six meters tall, with a red and gold mirror-like texture on its surface. Its humanoid body appeared particularly sturdy and powerful, and its thick high-strength alloy armor protected its internal thinking core.

Eleven advanced antimatter furnaces are regularly distributed on its body, and the sensors on its head emit a dazzling light. Data belonging to the Midnight Haunter is being captured and recorded in all directions.

This iron man was not equipped with any long-range weapons such as melta weapons or plasma weapons, only a pair of metal power fists larger than the Night Haunter's head as a means of output.

The shoulder armor design similar to that of Space Marine power armor gives it stronger defensive capabilities. The transmission system cleverly transfers power to the pair of power fists that are activating the decomposition force field. The Iron Man is on guard.

Conrad tried to use his predictive ability to find information about the iron man in front of him, but no matter how he looked at the illusion, he could not find any relevant information.

This iron man should not exist in the future he foresaw.

"Guilliman, my brother, the helpers you called for seem to be just so-so." Curze sneered. During the Great Crusade, his legion had besieged some pocket empire civilizations, and Midnight Haunter had seen similar iron men.

Especially during the Salamas expedition, he fought against the [Extinction Machines] released by the Dark Angels on the Crucible Star. Ryan sent out seven Extinction Machines to entangle the Midnight Haunter.

Conrad was impressed by the abomination mechanical adamantium battle claws and gravity vortex cannons, especially the subatomic pulses that caused him great pain.

But what about this Iron Man in front of him? This guy actually only has a pair of fists loaded with power fields.

After losing his ability to predict the future, Conrad became even more excited. For him, every minute and every second of fighting with the Iron Man was unknown.

This gave him the illusion that he had escaped the cage of fate.

"Come on, come on, show me how you can catch me, you blasphemous mechanical creature."

As the Iron Man entered, Guilliman led the Ultramarines to retreat to a safe distance, and the injured Lion chose to wait and see for a while.

His brother hides a true Iron Man, an abominable intelligent machine.

A strong thought of destruction flashed through the Lion's mind. He did not rush to blame Guilliman, but compared the strength of the unknown model of Iron Man in front of him with the creature called Extinction Machine in his flagship relic warehouse.

No, it and the Extinction Machine are two completely different creations, and the latter is just a poor imitation of Iron Man.

The thinking core of the Extinction Relics has long been twisted, and they have endless hatred for organics. They are generally equipped with adamantium power claws and gravity vortex cannons, and are often equipped with phosphide launchers and heavy flamethrowers to kill enemies.

However, this is not where their strength lies. It is only because they are far inferior to Iron Man that they need to use these things to make up for the gap.

And based on visual observation, the strange iron man in front of him seemed to be some kind of melee iron man.

Ryan had a strong feeling that Conrad was really going to hit a wall this time.

"Let's do it." Luo Xi said softly.

The Iron Man has mature control intelligence and does not need human control at all. However, when Luo Xi lifted the restrictions of the agreement, the Iron Man named Veronica instantly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Gravity could not restrain its freedom. Driven by the anti-gravity engine, the Iron Man rose into the sky and then fell suddenly with accelerated speed.

Its pair of fists loaded with decomposition force fields smashed down like meteorites, and the scanning system on its head had already analyzed all of Midnight Haunter's dodging trajectories.

There is no way to avoid it.

Conrad raised Mercy and Forgiveness in front of him, and the Nostramo instinctively wanted to retreat to the rear, dragging the battle into the harassment mobile warfare he was good at.

However, a strong magnetic field suddenly appeared around the Iron Man, and the terrifying magnetic force firmly attracted Conrad's power armor and the adamantium weapon in his hand. The Iron Man just raised his hand slightly, and Midnight Haunter was pulled over like a child.

While it continued to correct the attack angle of its power fist, its other hand locked onto the enemy through the magnetic field. In less than half a second, Conrad's head hit the Iron Man's power fist hard.

Yes, from the outside, Conrad, who was restrained and accelerated by the magnetic field, seemed to be actively flying towards the terrifying iron fist, and then using his head to bear all the damage.

The Iron Man didn't play any tactical tricks with him. He used a magnetic lock to grab the enemy and then used a power fist to physically subdue him. The teeth-grinding sound of bones cracking was particularly clear in the chaotic memorial hall. Even Lion and Guilliman instinctively felt phantom pain when they heard it.

Midnight Haunter had lost his helmet in the previous boarding battle, and he had been creating chaos with his hair loose.

The punch hit his skull solidly. Even the Primitive's powerful body could not withstand such a strong blow. His skin and flesh immediately tore apart, and the ruptured blood vessels in his skull spurted out a large amount of scarlet blood.

After the magnetic lock pulled Conrad closer, the Iron Man's other hand quickly twisted and deformed, turning into an indestructible lock that strangled his neck. The iron claws that were as strong as adamantine made the Primarch gasp for air with great effort.

Conrad tried to use his kindness and forgiveness to tear a hole in Iron Man's body, but the smooth, mirror-like body completely ignored his struggle. Iron Man pressed the ghost to the ground and hit him repeatedly with the power fist of his other hand.

The mechanical fist was spinning so fast that even the Space Marines could hardly catch it with their naked eyes. They only saw a whistling afterimage, and then the fist, which was more terrifying than an industrial hydraulic press, smashed into Conrad's head.

The ground made of plastic steel mixed with high-strength cement was shattered into pieces by the repeated bombardment, and Midnight Haunter's body was blasted into the ground like a pile. His pale face was now completely bloody and even Guilliman could not tell from his face that this was his brother.

"As expected of the Primarch, you can still breathe after taking a beating from Veronica. You really have monstrous physiques."

After seeing Iron Man use physical persuasion on Midnight Haunter, making this extremely dangerous guy completely unable to resist, Luo Xi also stood up.

He understood the value of a Primarch, even a traitorous one.

If he could be captured alive, it would definitely be better than killing him on the spot, and the decision to kill him must be made by Guilliman and Lion themselves. If Roche interfered, it would likely cause hidden dissatisfaction in the hearts of these two.

Iron Man Veronica picked up the rotten flesh in her hand. Koz's whole body was limp as if his bones had been pulled out. He had already fallen into a coma of suspended animation.

Several adamantium restraint devices popped out from the Iron Man, handcuffed the Night Haunter's hands and feet, and then threw him into a small stasis field to seal and imprison him.

"Mission accomplished: Recover Konrad Curze."

The Iron Man came to Luo Xi, handed in the task, and then soared into the sky again, disappearing from everyone's sight along with flames.

Guilliman put away the Sincere Dagger, his tense muscles began to relax, and a rare smile appeared on his face.

"Quick, get the medical team to treat Auguston and the other wounded."

"The bodies of the dead warriors are temporarily placed here. They are heroes who died gloriously in the battle against the Night Haunter."

The Primarch's order was given, and the mortal servants who arrived began to clean up the mess in Hera Castle.

But Konrad was captured, and the dark cloud hanging over Macragge finally dissipated.

The injured lion king also received treatment from the medical department, but with the original body's self-healing ability, this minor injury would be able to heal itself in no time.

"I'll talk to you about the Iron Man later, let's forget about it today." Ryan's neck was wrapped in a medical bandage, and he could smell the fragrance of some healing potion.

"You are touching dangerous territory, even more dangerous than Conrad." The Lion King said cryptically. The look he gave Luo Xi was no longer one of contempt, but real fear.

The remnants of the Golden Age were nothing. The tiny pocket civilizations he wiped out were, in a sense, the remnants of humanity's dark technological age. They survived by relying on some powerful technology or geographical isolation.

In the later stages of the Great Crusade, the 40th Expeditionary Fleet and the Space Wolves encountered a tiny pocket civilization called the Oramic Confederation, who claimed that they were the true successors of humanity and that the Empire was just a group of blasphemous aliens in disguise.

"I have my own plans. You can interfere with those forbidden things, but I can't?" Guilliman didn't care about Lion's threat. This concerned his allies.

The Lion King looked deeply at Guilliman, then left Hera Fortress with the injured Houguin and the surviving Dark Angels.
