Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 545 Shadowmoon Wolf and the Steel Hand

Just as the hammer was about to touch the edge of the wolfskin cloak—

Hathor's figure suddenly blurred! Only a faint afterimage remained in place!

"BOOM—!!!!!!!!!"

A deafening roar!
The giant hammer missed its target by a hair's breadth! The special alloy ground at the point of impact shattered and collapsed, forming a huge crater several meters in diameter!

A scorching shockwave, carrying molten metal fragments, exploded violently, crashing into the black stone force field and creating ripples!
When his attack missed, Feralus didn't hesitate at all!
The right arm, covered in living metal, swept back at an unparalleled speed. The hammer handle, wrapped in a force field, transformed into a terrifying giant pillar, tearing through the air with a shrill whistling sound, and slammed down behind it!
"clang--!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

An even more deafening explosion erupted!

Hathor's ghostly figure appeared precisely on the trajectory of the hammer handle, and the "Worldbreaker's" azure disintegration field fiercely blocked it!

Two energy fields driven by the immense power of the Primarch of Genes—decomposition and oscillation—collide violently at the point of contact!
Blinding sparks of energy instantly illuminated the entire dome! A shockwave, a mixture of pale and eerie blue, spread violently!
The ground beneath their feet collapsed and sank again!
The terrifying recoil caused the two colossal figures to vanish once again in the blinding light!
For the spectators, the ensuing battle exceeded the limits of visual perception.

Through the advanced goggles of Regiment Commander Shi Dongzhan, only two blurry afterimages could be captured—a raging silver-gray storm and a cold ivory-white lightning bolt—flickering, colliding, and separating at a desperate speed within the test area!
The continuous, terrifying sounds of impact, energy explosions, and metal tearing echoed wildly throughout the test area like rolling thunder!

Every collision caused the ground to tremble violently, and every clash of weapons sent out sparks and debris that melted through the ceramic steel!
The air was repeatedly compressed and torn apart.

Two overwhelming forces clashed and struggled against each other, the aftershocks of the battle causing the entire testing area to groan, the massive steel beams supporting the dome creaking, and dust falling in clumps.

Hathor moved at high speed, sometimes transforming into a siege hammer, carrying a ghostly blue light that could disintegrate everything, and smashing it into Feralus's power joints or energy backpack; at other times, it was like a deadly meteor, bombarding Feralus's relatively weak side ribs.

Each tear from Horus's Claws was precisely aimed at the joint gaps of Feralus's silver arm and the connection point of the helmet visor.

At the same time, the Storm Bolt Guns built into her shoulder armor fired precise shots, disrupting Feralas's balance.

Feralus has been completely transformed into a roaring war fortress!

Her power backpack emitted a piercing shriek that tore through the air!
The shoulder-mounted missile pods suddenly popped out—in less than half a second—a series of miniature rockets, trailing blinding contrails, roared and crashed into Hathor's feet and any possible gaps to dodge!

boom! boom! boom!
The exploding fireball and the deadly storm of metal fragments instantly engulfed several paths of attack, tearing the space in front of Hathor to shreds!
Almost simultaneously, the rapid-fire laser cannon on the side of the backpack emitted a high-frequency deathly hum, and a crimson beam of light sprayed out at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye!

Each time Hathor's claws tore through the air, they were violently repelled amidst ear-piercing energy shrieks and dazzling sparks. The dense network of beams resembled a constantly burning shield wall made of pure destructive energy!

Ferrus's firepower never faltered!

Hathor's figure blurred into a blurry afterimage in the confined space. Every dodge was a close call. The scorching bullets grazed her armor and exploded into terrifying craters on the hard alloy ground and supporting pillars behind her, spraying out molten metal droplets!

The servo arm beneath the power backpack, lurking in the shadows, darted out with the speed of a venomous snake—a cutting beam hissed as it narrowly parried the cunning claw attack, leaving charred marks; while the gravity hammer slammed down with a dull thud!

Boom!

The ground cracked and collapsed, the supporting pillars groaned under the strain, and metal fragments rained down—Ferus ruthlessly reshaped the battlefield, each strike weaving a death trap that compressed space, aiming to completely crush Hathor's ghostly speed into this steel tomb!
"Traitor! Your soul! Is still that damned Horus!" Feralus roared, his giant hammer, with a desperate determination to take someone down with him, smashed into Hathor's exposed ribs with pure power and speed!
Hathor's molten gold eyes narrowed, her body twisting at an impossible angle to narrowly avoid the hammer's blow. The violent force of the hammer grazed her Terminator armor, leaving scorched marks and dents. Her voice, cold and clear amidst the high-speed movement, said: "The wounds of ten thousand years ago still bleed, Feralas! Drowsing over them will only blind you! Look at this Empire! It is riddled with holes! What it needs is the gathering of strength, not fratricide!"

"Internal strife?! Who is the source of the abyss?!" Feralus's furious laughter was deafening, his power hammer whipping up a bloody wind, and his ferocious combo temporarily forced Hathor back. "It's you! Horus!"
You tore the empire apart with your own hands! You nailed our father to the golden throne and burned him for ten thousand years! You caused loyal brothers to turn against each other!
Your 'compensation'? What a joke! Your very existence is blasphemy!

Her attacks, fueled by rage, became even more ferocious, temporarily overwhelming Hathor.

"The mistake has been made! It cannot be undone!" Hathor's voice suddenly rose! Just as the giant hammer was about to smash down again with earth-shattering force, she slammed the end of the "Worldbreaker" hammer handle into the ground!

"Boom——!!!"

The immense recoil force caused her trajectory to change abruptly, and her body narrowly missed the edge of the whistling hammer head!
Using the momentum, she instantly broke through the hammer wind's blockade and approached Felus's chest, which was wide open due to his full-force swing, like lightning!
With a fierce roar, Hathor's right claw, accompanied by a piercing shriek that seemed to tear through the void, sent five deadly streaks of adamantine light piercing straight for the weak energy transmission node where Ferus's breastplate and abdominal armor met!
Feralus's silver-gray pupils contracted sharply! His counter-attack was too late!

With a roar, the living metal left arm instantly blocked in front of its chest, while its massive body forcefully twisted to the right, attempting to withstand the attack with the thickest part of its shoulder armor!
"Sizzle—Pfft!"

A chilling tearing sound rang out!

The indestructible "Claws of Horus" ripped through the tough living metal!

Crimson, viscous blood mixed with silver-gray metal fragments splattered violently!

Almost at the same instant, Hathor's bolter roared once more!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Three high-explosive armor-piercing rounds precisely penetrated the gap in Felus's exposed left shoulder armor and exploded violently!
"Ugh—!"

Felus let out a painful roar as his massive body staggered backward from the impact!

His left arm hung limply, the living metal wound was gruesome, silver-gray blood gushed out, and his left shoulder armor was a mess. The explosion tore through the armor, revealing the mechanical structure inside that was flashing with electric sparks and the broken energy pipelines!

The swing trajectory of the power hammer exhibited a fatal lag!

Hathor's eyes blazed with a molten gold-like light! He frantically channeled his power into the "Worldbreaker"!
The hammerhead's dark blue disintegration force field was compressed to its limit, emitting a high-frequency, piercing shriek!

"End it, Feralus! Let the past rest in peace!"

With a terrifying will to shatter stars, the warhammer tore through the air, transforming into a destructive, dark blue comet that slammed into Felus's severely injured and unbalanced chest, leaving it wide open!
The destructive light was reflected in Felus's silver-grey eyes!

Her intact right arm tried in vain to lift the hammer, but it was too slow! Her broken left arm was even more powerless!
There's no way to avoid it! There's no way to stop it!
"Clang—Boom!!! ...
