This is our Warhammer journey

Chapter 261 The God of War Sleeps
"?"

When their names were called, the four people who had gathered around were somewhat stunned, and an eerie silence filled the air.

Ramses, seemingly realizing that his relaxed demeanor had been a waste of his effort, even turned around to check if Tarasin was still standing next to him.

After confirming that the two weakest members were standing together, Ramses, still incredulous, maintained the defensive stance spell, then pointed incredulously at the Burner and asked Talasi:
"Has it gone mad from being locked up?"

Ramses' voice was filled with obvious confusion, although he really wanted to complain about why the Burner had changed his identity so readily.

However, considering the various stereotypes in this universe, they are not all considered human in the judgment of other beings. Constantly emphasizing this might make others think he is just being stubborn, so he kept quiet about it.

But now he really wants to ask the Burner: Bro, are you blind?
So you're good at picking things, starting with the highest difficulty level, huh?
"Ah? Ah——"

Still somewhat dazed by the words of the Burner, Tarasin seemed to be caught in some strange thought loop, only snapping out of it after hearing Ramses's question.

"The fragments all have some intellectual limitations, which is understandable."

He explained it this way, his voice carrying a hint of doubt.

What exactly are these four things?
"I am human."

Karna's voice was as cold as ice. He was very displeased with the fact that the Burner was expelled from the race so readily. Dangerous flames flickered in his blue eyes, which were coated with a layer of flame.

and.

The air around him began to distort, and the power of faith from countless believers transformed into tangible flames that enveloped his entire body, scorching the surrounding metal ground.

Burning, furious.
He had no idea where the Burner got his confidence from.

Do I look weak?

'I'll go first.'

Just like the last time we fought against the World Forger, we relied on rituals to continuously endure damage to figure out the opponent's power limit, and then, depending on the situation, we would either concentrate our bombardment with naval cannons or suppress them with our individual strength.

After reaching a consensus with Arthur in the communication, Karna took the first step.

"Oh? You actually dare to approach me, to approach something far more noble than yourself?"

The Burner's voice was accompanied by raging flames, and scorching waves of fire surged around it, while its senses sharply scanned its surroundings, searching for weaknesses in the encirclement, and it was satisfied with the effect of its provocation.

It knew that these subspace entities, composed of emotions, were most vulnerable to provocation.

Especially those related to fire.

They are violent and easily angered, and they have no concept of caution. A few contemptuous words can make them lose their temper and expose their fatal flaws.

'Come on, you arrogant thing.'

A cold smile flashed through the Burner's mind.

The first step of the escape plan has been achieved: the weakest has run into the strongest.

Now is the time to tear open the enemy's encirclement at its weakest point!
It extracted the power from the fragments, channeling it into the lava earth like a trickle. Under its precise control, scorching solar prominences erupted from the ground, engulfing everything around them.

Immediately, all the high-temperature energy was concentrated into one place, transforming into a destructive torrent that rushed straight towards Karna.

The Burner could sense the immense power of the other party, but this was the real universe!
With your mere physical form in the Sea of ​​Souls, not even having ascended to the throne of a god, who gave you the confidence to challenge the Star God in reality?
Watch me peel off that arrogant facade of yours.

bump! ! !
Fragments of living metal flew like a torrential rain.

The Burner felt as if he had been slammed by an invisible giant hand, his entire body flying backward uncontrollably. The infinite maze seal behind him rapidly receded from his sight, and the air was distorted and blurred by the extreme impact.

Before it could even think, the living metal arm suddenly plunged into the ground, and the viscous lava surged under the high temperature, forcefully stopping its retreat.

Its body left a trail of scorching fire on the ground. After it stopped, the surrounding area for several kilometers turned into a molten liquid, forming a lava lake.

what's the situation? !

The Burner crouched in the center of the lava, its metallic shell glowing a dark red due to the high temperature. It stared intently at its surroundings, its mind racing.

When flames come into contact, the other party is put into a state of being unselectable.

It knew these tricks of the Sea of ​​Souls; they were merely ways to maintain its ability to avoid certain types of harm by consuming souls, and were not enough to contend with the power of the Star God.

Not appropriate.

The emotions that sustain these warp entities in the real universe are rapidly depleted during collisions with the Star Gods. The Burners, who have devoured countless souls, are well aware of the strength of this warp entity.

In the classification of subspace entities, it is considered a secondary god who has mastered the concept, with many followers, but its existence has not exceeded 15 years.

Although the physical body in the physical universe is genetically decent, it is not enough to support it in fighting against a true material universe powerhouse.

The burner's mind flashed through his precise assessment of it.

Even though it was already weakened, its precisely calculated energy output was enough to destroy the spells protecting it from harm and to destroy its physical body.

In this way, it can weaken the opponent to the maximum extent, and then take the opportunity to use the remaining energy to break through the encirclement and head to outer space.

But it was hit back.

The spear tip pierced its body, but the opponent was unharmed.

"I knew I wasn't wrong. You are very strong, a remnant of the Sea of ​​Souls."

The Burner stood up, his voice tinged with a hint of solemnity.

In the collision just now, it had used all its strength. Its plan to defeat the opponent in one move and then use the remaining energy to tear through the earth and go directly to outer space did not succeed.

The plan was completely destroyed in the early stages of the operation.

There is some soul energy that has not entered the warp replenishing the opponent.

His gaze immediately fell on the slave.

A familiar taste; consciousness is reconnecting with the soul.

"I see. Indeed, a slave is a slave, and will always need a master."

The Burner's voice was laced with malicious mockery. While sacrifices in the real universe could indeed sustain the other's actions for longer, in its memory, the Ancients would never allow themselves or their creations to employ such cruel methods.

Those wretched creatures would rather be devoured by their enslavers than destroy their creations to save themselves.

It is truly pathetic that the Creator cannot even squander his own wealth.

—One can only say, they truly are people who fear death.

"?"

Tarahim, who was caught in the crossfire for no reason, was completely bewildered.

Ignoring the slave, the Burner continued to focus on sensing the battlefield.

The collision that just happened lasted only a moment. The ancient saint hadn't even cast a spell, and the world forger seemed to be observing from the sidelines.

The Star God's thinking far surpasses that of any mortal being; even the most outstanding AI would find it difficult to match.

The initial energy comparison results are in; the output ceiling is approximately one-twentieth of the World Founder's Fragments.

Arthur's calm voice rang out on the communication channel, and the data stream spun rapidly in Romulus's calculation matrix, arriving at a precise conclusion in an instant.

Karna's damage output completely overwhelms the target, allowing him to end the battle quickly.

'Remember to activate all my pre-constructed rituals, otherwise it will be very difficult to break through the defenses.'

Ramses reminded him.

The power of the warp lies in its ability to inflict high damage with low output through specific rituals, and transmigrators can directly extract the souls in their hands without traversing the warp, ignoring the sacrifice phase.

'That's settled then.'

Karna lowered his azure eyes, and after confirming his companions' analysis, countless scarlet patterns suddenly lit up around his body.

All the rituals pre-engraved on the armor were activated, and the soul reserves began to be consumed at an alarming rate.

Quick victory!

The warp entities are indeed very strong. Even the Burners are unsure how long the opponent's ritual can last, given the sacrifice involved.

But that doesn't mean it's helpless!
It admits that it lost the first round, but it has other options.

The shattered shell had been repaired, and it stood upright, watching as the burning angel charged forward, its power poised to be unleashed, its spear emitting a dazzling red light.

Needless to say, a fierce attack is about to follow. After the first wave of attacks failed, the enemy has already figured things out and will not be fooled by its provocations.

"Then let's see how much energy you have left!"

The body surface erupted with terrifying flames, evaporating huge bubbles from the surrounding lava lake. The Burner refused to believe that the opponent could maintain high output while ignoring its damage.

It was used to these warp tricks, and if it had time to determine the conditions for the other party's damage immunity to take effect, it would have been confident that it could have killed this warp entity right there.

However, it now has a premonition that it cannot escape unscathed, but sacrificing some parts to escape is also an option.

Living metal grants it unprecedented defensive capabilities, allowing it to withstand damage from its opponent—

Then just run away!

"Horus!"

Every joint seemed to stiffen, and my whole body felt as heavy as a lump of iron.

Listening to the sound of flames exploding in its ears, the Burner felt the world slow down as it watched the crimson spear thrust towards it.

The first shot was swift and decisive, piercing directly through the Burner's hastily raised metal arms. It had originally planned to use the opportunity to split its body and escape, but Karna's burning form forcefully blocked its retreat.

The entire mass of living metal was enveloped by the violent force on the gun barrel and slammed heavily to the ground.

you--

Before the Burner could even register the sound of surprise, a second shot followed.

bump!
With a single step, waves surged across the lava lake, the earth trembled slightly, and the crimson spear, which had been thrust down, spewed forth tongues of fire, as if it had struck a living metal body, instantly creating a radial cavity, like a punctured balloon.

boom!
The flames spewed out by the burner shot out, and the embers flew everywhere, creating a dazzling spectacle that was beyond description.

The impact that landed on the angel's body only caused him to sway in his illusion.

this.
The Burner looked up at Karna, speechless.

The emotionally nuanced burner only sees talent and hard work, while all the sweat is on its head.

“You have won, warp entities. I will continue to be an eternal torch, fueling your ambitions, and then watching over your destruction.”

It stubbornly insisted that it did not want to admit its defeat.

Haha, it's such a waste that you only work as fuel.

We strive to sever the shackles of consciousness that bind this physical universe. We will ensure that subjective consciousness leaves no room for maneuver within these rules and uses them wisely.

Karna ignored the other party, turned the tip of his spear, and flung the mangled living metal body directly at Arthur.

Clang!
The knight drew his sword and precisely cleaved the Burner, who had come to him, from head to toe.

The battle is over.
-
"."

Tarachin found it difficult to describe this battle in words.

All he saw was the Burner charge forward, then fly up and crash back to the ground, and then be whipped around like a top by Karna in a very stylish manner.

The appearance of dying
Tarasin then looked at the living metal that had entered a free state.

Yes, very peaceful.
