Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 490 The Bone Eaters Destroy the Titans

The "hermits" move among human slaves, and the struggle for mind control through neural collars and mind-controlling powers plays out in their minds.

A small number of people followed the think tanks' orders, turning back in an orderly fashion and gathering together.

Most people stood there, looking bewildered.

A very small minority are enslaved by the neural collars and continue to move forward.

A monstrous creature covered in tentacles waved its arms at the surrounding slaves and roared angrily.

Seeing that they did not react, the alien's six arms each wrapped around a slave, lifting them high up.

With the sound of bones breaking, he threw down the human slave who had been hanged.

Ramsey quickened his pace, each step leaving him in the shadow of human slaves.

A moment later, he appeared two meters behind the alien.

The spirituality of the "hermit" spread out, touching the shadow of the alien.

The shadows, following his will, were quickly molded into a black panther.

The cheetah, shaped by shadows, suddenly leaped up, its sharp claws reaching for the alien's massive neck.

With a bang, the black panther seemed to have crashed into an invisible wall and was then thrown back.

The alien turned around abruptly, and a look of surprise flashed in its eyes when it saw the black panther.

How did a black creature suddenly appear?

[Still a dominant force.] As the "hermit" pondered this, he walked in the shadows and circled around to the alien's back.

He spreads more spirituality, touching the shadow of the overlord.

The alien extended its tentacles, wrapped them around the black panther, and immediately felt a chill run through its body.

Just as he was frozen stiff, a sharp blade slashed through the air and struck his back.

The crackling sound of colliding energy rang out, and the alien tried to turn around to find its enemy.

But the chilling aura emanating from the tentacles made his body tremble.

Despite the chill, the alien used its other two tentacles to grab the black panther's body and, with a combined effort, crushed it to pieces.

Black pus splattered, and the six tentacles were covered in viscous liquid.

The alien felt its body growing colder and colder, as if it had been thrown into a freezer.

His body trembled, and he turned around slowly.

The hermit's spiritually bound blades slashed left and right, relentlessly attacking his personal energy shield.

The alien's body had just turned sixty degrees when, accompanied by a piercing explosion, the Overlord's personal energy shield was shattered.

The alien's tentacles rapidly spread backward, attempting to stop the enemy's attack.

The next instant, his blood boiled, as if he had been injected with stimulants.

I must find out what attacked me.
The alien suddenly turned around, its body spinning rapidly like a windmill, completing more than ten rotations in an instant.

The think tank watched from the shadows as the alien, whose "blood was boiling," was infused with bio-psychic energy.

After the alien completed its twenty-fifth lap, its speed finally slowed down. It was panting heavily and felt completely powerless.

I must...find...
He lost consciousness in his resentment and collapsed to the ground.

The hermit felt as if the coffee he had drunk was dissolving in his body.

He moved swiftly through the shadows, faster than the armored vehicles that took detours, through the lines of the slave army.

Ramsey saw the aliens one by one, but his gaze did not linger on them for even a moment.

His gaze was drawn to the streaking missiles as they struck their targets with deafening explosions.

The think tank's gaze pierced through the smoke, and he discovered that the alien that had been hit was unharmed.

He stared at the alien, outlining its complete body.

He was as tall as a Warlord-class Titan, and more like a plant than an animal.

His head was high and protruding, as if countless plants were growing together.

His body tapers from top to bottom, like the wrapping of a bouquet.

His arms were made of densely packed branches, encasing bizarre weapons that spewed blinding beams of energy that struck the Titan's void shield. He had three branches-like legs, one in front and two behind.

At the end of each leg, a dozen or so branches fork out, gripping the ground tightly.

Upon seeing the enormous creature, Ramsey immediately recognized it as the Bone Eater from the documents issued by the Black Emperor.

Randan is a massive alien alliance, with Bone Eaters and Brain Eaters being the two main races.

Brain Eaters possess powerful psychic abilities and often serve as commanders. They can release neurotoxins that even Astartes cannot resist.

Bone Eaters possess formidable combat power, even surpassing that of Titans.

Ramsay never doubted the Black Emperor's words, but he couldn't imagine that a creature could possess combat abilities comparable to a Titan.

He had thought that only Primarchs could possess such combat power, but now, seeing the Bone Eaters, he truly saw creatures as large as Titans.

Ramsey stared at the only mechanical part of the Bone Eater, whose energy beams even suppressed the Titan's firepower.

It was a bizarre mechanical weapon with a mechanical eye larger than a human, covered with densely packed alien runes.

The two cannon barrels were covered with sharp horns, which made him wonder if they were a hybrid creation of machinery and biology.

Ramsey entered Magnus's first level of mind, calmed his shock, cleared his mind, and analyzed the battle situation.

Ramsey dismissed the Titans and Bone Eaters, unleashing a devastating attack.

Titan's missiles collided with the Bone Eater's energy shield, and energy beams struck the Void Shield. He couldn't simply judge who had the upper hand based on the attacks alone.

He must consider other factors before drawing a conclusion.

After eliminating distractions, Ramsey quickly identified the key factor.

He noted that the bone-eaters were making progress.

The Titan kept changing positions, trying to use the surrounding furnaces to defend against attacks and to increase the distance between itself and the Bone Eater.

Ramsey immediately came to a conclusion, he thought to himself.

[Just as my lord said, most Titans are no match for the Bone Eaters.]
He immediately turned on his communicator and sent a message to Falk.

"My lord, I have discovered that Randan's Bone Eaters have appeared, and Shana's Titans will soon be destroyed by them."

"What?" Falk exclaimed in surprise, "Are you sure?"

"Confirmed, I will send you the coordinates."

Ramsey's divination box captures the location coordinates and then transmits them to the tactical network.

As soon as the communication connection was lost, Ramsey saw the plant above the Bone Eater's head sway as if it were being blown by the wind.

The extremely bright light stung the eyes of the Shadow of Order, causing him to squint.

Rumble!
Amidst the deafening explosions, the ground trembled violently as ultra-high-temperature mechanical fragments and armor wreckage pierced through furnace after furnace.

Once the Shadow of Order's eyes had adjusted, it quickly looked at Titan.

He discovered that the Titan was no longer able to move, clearly indicating that its power system had been destroyed.

Titan did not give up the attack; missiles roared incessantly, and blazing beams roared as they attacked the Bone Eater.

boom!
Ramsey saw a missile streaking with light crash down on the Bone Eater's head.

Its massive body swayed, and dozens of dark branches fell like arrows, crashing into the Ran Dan alien.

bang bang bang...

Amidst a series of sounds of personal energy shields shattering, more than a dozen overlords were instantly pierced by the plant.

[The Titan has broken through his personal energy shield!] Ramsey thought with delight.

Just as the thought crossed his mind, he suddenly heard a deafening roar.

Ramsey looked up, and his eyes were immediately filled with light; he had lost his sight.

With a deafening explosion, his ears rang and vibrated.

A few seconds later, the Shadow of Order returned to normal. He looked at the battlefield and saw that the massive Titan had been blown to pieces, and he could only vaguely make out its legs.

Ramsey sighed inwardly, "[The Bone Eaters have destroyed the Titans!]"
His ears twitched; he heard the roar of an engine.
