Warhammer 40 Spring: Loyalty of the Multiverse

Chapter 265 Battle
"Damn it, there are still living people here!" Tie Hui looked at the surrounding gravity objects, his face turning ashen.

Judging from their color and the serial numbers, the hundreds of gravity bodies are clearly old-world military gravity bodies. And now, in space, their tactical maneuvers clearly indicate they are military-grade aerospace gravity bodies!

"I can't sense any living beings inside," the Emperor said, interrupting Tie Hui's preconceived notions.

"Ecological...Soil?"

A single scan revealed that the driver inside the gravity body had no vital signs.

Only a liquid-like plant-like organism moves inside it, controlling its limbs!

"Where are they? I'm the only one here now!" Tie Hui looked at the gravity beings around him who had slowly drawn their weapons, and hurriedly opened the communication to ask the ground base.

"My lord, Tiberius and his men are still two minutes away from you! After all, it's quite difficult to break through the atmosphere with just nano-silicon armor!"

"Alright!" Tie Hui twirled his sword and shut down the communication.

"With so many gravitational bodies, there must be a well-equipped space station nearby, and there might even be some operational human space stations in such a large orbit!"

"Understood, I'll check it out later!" Tie Hui replied.

Just as he finished speaking, a golden whip lashed out at him. Tie Hui didn't dodge; instead, he took the hits head-on from the machine guns firing at him and used his speed to cleave the two gravity bodies in two from above.

Immediately afterwards, a bomb shattered a gravity vehicle that was trying to get close, perhaps because it saw that he was not easy to deal with.

Several gravity-based objects performed a mechanical dance not far from him. Then, one after another, black liquid creatures mixed with scarlet light burst out from the gaps, defying the vacuum of space and heading straight for Tie Hui.

Without exception, they were all firmly blocked by the nano shields and could not get an inch in.

Seeing that it could not break through the shield, Tie Hui no longer held back and directly engaged in a fierce battle among these gravity objects.

Suddenly, several fireballs exploded around him, and the source was pinpointed. At this moment, Tiberius and the others had already arrived in space!
Those attacks were launched by them, and this single wave wiped out half of the remaining gravity bodies.

"Don't destroy them all. See if you can capture some intact ones. Take them back and study them to equip the mortal auxiliary army!" Tie Hui looked at Tiberos. The others still wanted to use high-powered weapons to deal with the remaining gravity bodies in one go.

He quickly interrupted them. Gravitational bodies already had readily available technological blueprints, and their cheap, robust, durable, and modular design made them very easy to manufacture in this world, allowing for large-scale mass production.

Although it's not as good as the Blazing Armor, it's still sturdy and durable!
After receiving the order, Tiberius and the others abandoned their large-scale attack and drew their melee weapons.

Tie Hui successfully escaped to the side of the battlefield. Watching the shark canisters being slaughtered at high speed, he opened the communicator and said, "Check the nearby relatively intact space stations. I suspect there might even be living people inside."

After all, judging from the condition of these gravity objects, they have obviously been maintained. To maintain them, you need a place with sufficient resources and skilled technicians.

This world isn't like Warhammer, with its advanced basic science and abundant theoretical knowledge. Some technologies result in highly sophisticated products that require meticulous maintenance!
Take, for example, this aerospace-grade gravity body!

Its internal miniature nuclear power device alone can be considered a sophisticated component.

呲——

The hatch opened automatically, and gas gushed out from all sides. Even though they were in space, Tie Hui and the others could hear the faint sound of the airflow for a moment.

He turned his head to look at the enormous space station, pointed and said, "Mark this. Maybe we can assemble it after the lighthouse is remodeled!"

"Recorded in the task log!"

As the hatch opened fully, several servo skulls rushed inside.

Tie Hui himself followed closely behind, and as the air pressure leveled out, the last isolation hatch opened.

What comes into view is a dense network of vines, firmly anchored to the walls of the space station. And on the walls are various shapes and forms of fleshy soil!

Furthermore, these fleshy soil items were all covered by a layer of spacesuits that were completely old and even somewhat damaged!
The strangest thing was the posture of these fleshy creatures; without exception, they all resembled the posture of religious fanatics. Looking at the direction they were facing, it was clearly the interior center of the entire space station. A close examination of their faces revealed a fanatical expression that seemed genuine, clearly hallucinations caused by infection with scarlet hormones.

Moreover, the reddish patches on the passageways in some places clearly indicate that the soil has not yet been fully activated.

But everyone was puzzled when they saw this. Xi Rang clearly needed fresh hemoglobin to activate, but Tie Hui had no chance to expose any flesh or even blood in space.

So either those Western beings who control the gravity bodies are being controlled by a higher level of intelligent life, or there are still some new humans living on this space station.

A new type of human has already begun to integrate with the Mana ecosystem.

"Find out a switch for the gravity field nearby. After all, things are always a bit inconvenient in a weightless environment!" Tiberos gave the order.

Tie Hui glanced at the four holographic maps of the space station transmitted back by the skulls on his wrist, then looked at the direction the surrounding flesh-elemental beings were pilgrimageing towards. He then grabbed his power sword and led the way, flying deeper into the space!

Meanwhile, the map transmitted back from the front-line server skull gate became increasingly clear, and even some available resources and facilities along the way were marked.

Clearly, there's no major danger ahead! As for the Breath of Earth, although it's been marked, it'll be harmless as long as there's no blood involved!

Just then, Tiberos suddenly caught up with Tie Hui and said, "After we left, all the hatches at the back closed automatically!"

"Looks like they've noticed us!" Tie Hui stopped and suddenly squatted down, his magnetic boots firmly attaching him to the ground.

Seeing this, the other Astartes also landed on the ground and formed a battle formation to meet the enemy's attack!
"Did you bring the burner?" Tie Hui asked, his eyes fixed on the dense red spiderweb-like structure on the front hatch.

"Hmm!" Tiberos nodded and waved his hand. A simple cargo robot quickly floated over from behind and handed over a high-temperature compression flamethrower!

The machine was quickly set up and started, and a huge flame, like a fire dragon, slammed into the hatch.

Even the impact caused this compartment to shake!
The spiderweb-like creatures on the hatch vanished the moment the fire dragon made contact.

Tie Hui led the way, with the others following behind, as crimson pigment began to emanate from the surroundings. Within seconds, the area within two meters ahead was no longer visible to the naked eye.

The sounds of slimy flesh writhing could be heard sparsely around them, growing louder and louder, sending chills down the spines of ordinary people.

However, Tie Hui and the others didn't care and continued to advance steadily. The next moment, countless strands of Breath of Earth, like claws tearing through the black mist, directly grabbed towards the direction where Tie Hui and the others were.

But the next second, these Breath of Earth slammed into the nano shield and couldn't get any further. This scene caused the eyes of a huge figure in the central cabin to open directly.

"Hot melt!"

Upon reaching the hatch, the group stepped aside, and a shark-like figure maneuvered a molten bomb to attach to the hatch.

boom--

The molten blue light flashed past the gate and vanished into thin air, leaving only wisps of white smoke that spread or condensed in a very regular pattern with the airflow.

Boom boom boom boom boom——

Upon seeing this, everyone simultaneously picked up their explosive guns and unleashed a barrage of fire inside.

"Roar—"

A roar that was neither human nor non-human, yet possessed human qualities, suddenly erupted from the intensely scarlet pigment.

Even upon closer inspection, one can see that the high-frequency sound waves are causing visible fluctuations in the surrounding space.

Lyman's Ear activated instantly, blocking out the dizzying sound from everyone. The dizziness vanished within half a second.

Although they were still pulling the trigger during that half-second, they had already given the behemoth inside an opportunity.

boom--

A massive red laser beam shot out from the gate, piercing through airlock after airlock and disappearing into space.

A few seconds later, the energy dissipated, and the Xirang quickly picked up the surrounding space station debris and covered its surface, forming a layer of physical armor, and then firmly sealed the damage in various parts of the space station.

This terrifying energy disturbance also alerted the higher-ups at the Lighthouse to something unusual!
The destructive energy contained in this laser beam was so great that even the nano-shields on Tie Hui and the others around him were melted and devoured like snowflakes after only a second or two.

Even the power armor sounded an alarm.

"Scatter—" Tiberos roared, turning around and slamming his explosive gun into the wall. It created a large gash, but judging from the writhing blackish-red marks around its edges, it was clearly about to heal.

Seeing this, the people around quickly scrambled out and left the space station. The others followed suit and left the space station as well.

Tie Hui was positioned at the very back to prevent the giant beast from launching a sudden sneak attack!

After seeing the others leave, he blasted a large hole and crawled out. The instant he left, the attack vanished, and a gigantic hand, comparable to a zombie's, burst forth from the crimson mist and slammed into the hole!
