Warhammer 40 Spring: Loyalty of the Multiverse

Chapter 273 Iron Radiance "Master Tower!"

Inside the lighthouse, Charles stood with an extremely calm expression, high up, even displaying an arrogant and condescending demeanor.

When the attendant behind him inadvertently glanced at the chaos in the mortal district below, a look of disgust and extreme arrogance would always flash across his face.

"Chief!" The door opened, and Vatican led in the large dog Sharif. After bowing, he began to report on the findings: "It has been confirmed that the other side is a new human force, and..."

Charles didn't listen to what was said after that. Just hearing the words "confirmation of a new human force" was enough to make his eyes flash with panic and murderous intent.

After all, in his current understanding, the lighthouse is the only place on Earth where humanity can survive, and also the last spark of humanity.

Especially after taking over the Light and Shadow Society, the arrogance that humans are born with as the dominant species on Earth has always made him very proud of the Lighthouse's status and his own identity, even to the point of being arrogant.

But the sudden changes and the emergence of new human forces all indicate that there is a force even more powerful than the Beacon.

The other party clearly possesses more and more of the seeds of human civilization than the Beacon, and is even more suitable for it.

This instantly turned his former arrogance into that of a clown!

"How is the city lord?" Charles took a deep breath and asked, suppressing his emotions.

Vatican paused for a moment, then said, "The city lord suffered a sudden heart attack and has been taken to the medical department for treatment. However, according to the life formula..."

She fell silent again at this point, but Charles shouted, "Continue!"

"Based on the life formula, there is no value in saving them! I suggest... I suggest they travel far away!" Upon hearing this, Vatican lowered his head, as if he had done something wrong and was waiting for punishment.

At the same time, the believers on both sides were startled when they heard this, and then began to whisper among themselves.

"Let us pray for the Lord of Light and Shadow for the Lord of the City, and even more so for the Lighthouse and the continuation of humanity!" Charles's voice rang out softly in the hall of the Light and Shadow Society, yet it resonated deeply in everyone's hearts.

As the lighthouse flickered and swayed, the light and shadow alternated on the wall depicting various figures, as if bringing those figures to life.

boom--

The giant dog Sharif lightly slammed his massive axe into the ground, and for a moment all sound vanished, as if only the flickering of a candle flame remained.

"Light gives birth to all beings, and all beings follow the shadow..."

Outside the lighthouse, Tiberos used its nanocore to condense a giant mechanical arm in the distance, then grabbed one half of the Devouring Beast and pulled it backward, trying to drag it out of the lighthouse.

Its immense pulling force caught the Devouring Beast, which had already opened its mouth to absorb the life essence, off guard and suddenly pulled half of its body out.

Fortunately, the six arms gripped some structures on the lighthouse tightly, preventing it from being pulled out immediately.

Seeing this opportunity, Mark, piloting Dawn, swung his greatsword and slashed fiercely at one of the arms.

Meanwhile, Feixue had already set up a sniper rifle in a corner, aimed at the base of the arm Mark was about to cut off, and fired a shot!
The bullet pierced through the rust on its surface, creating a dent in the flesh at its base. Although it was healing rapidly, Feixue's firing rate was even faster.

The continuous firing caused damage to this Devouring Beast that was almost comparable to the damage from the previous bomb!

The Devouring Beast had clearly noticed the intention and tried to stop it, but no matter which arm it extended, it was repelled by the two waves of different metal cans.

Especially that "heavyweight" figure standing at a distance, holding a shield in one hand and a double-barreled Gatling gun in the other, swept out two long chains of fire.

Meanwhile, the city defense troops and the other hunters took their positions and operated the heavy weapons fixed on the lighthouse, firing wildly at it.

For a moment, the scales of victory seemed to tip in favor of humanity.

Just as the Devouring Beast was about to unleash a dragon's breath, it shooed away the annoying little flies around it.

However, several explosive attacks immediately followed, hitting its open mouth and causing the attack it had just prepared to explode inside its mouth.

It stared menacingly at an Astartes on a platform ahead, where a man holding a bomb gun with smoke still rising from the muzzle.

The next moment, following its will, the men and women who had been sucked into dust by it began to undergo strange changes.

They remained in the position of sleeping in each other's arms, the man's head bursting with blossoms like blooming flowers, while the woman's spine was empty!
As a dense, goosebump-inducing dripping sound rang out, one after another, scarlet spines emerged silently from the fleshy soil.

They quickly surged in all directions, infiltrating every corner of the lighthouse.

In an instant, whether they were commoners or upper-class citizens, anyone who did not put on a mask immediately was infected by the scarlet pigment and began to hallucinate.

Gunfire erupted all over the lighthouse, accompanied by screams and wails.

"Squads one and two, suppress those infected immediately!" Victor, having witnessed this, issued the order to the city defense army captains behind him. After all, only the city defense army and the hunters currently possessed weapons; the rest were mostly guards with limited weaponry.

The entire lighthouse has a population of tens of thousands. Once these spine groups spread and climb to a certain gathering point, the scarlet pigment will spread with terrifying infectious power.

Thinking of this, a bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead. Looking at the forces in the sky that seemed to be both confronting and cooperating with their Lighthouse Gravity Body to surround the Devouring Beast, the unfamiliar human forces were at a loss for what to do.

In particular, for some reason, he felt that the gravity bodies worn by these new human forces were very familiar.

Looking at this newly emerged human force, I couldn't help but recall what happened decades ago!

He glanced subconsciously at his arm, which was fitted with a mechanical part, and his eyes revealed hatred, fear, and confusion!

The sight of that terrifying chainsaw weapon slashing down at him, for some reason, remains as vivid as yesterday, even after all these years.

“General Victor, areas B3 and B4 have been cleared!” Hilla’s voice was like a lifeline, instantly bringing him back to his senses from that terrifying hell.

His heavy breathing made the people around him exchange bewildered glances, wondering what was wrong with the general today.
"Immediately disconnect the steel cable and, according to Captain Mark's plan, trap this Devouring Beast in this area!"

"Yes!"

Just as he was about to say something, his pupils contracted as if he saw something shocking.

The crowd waiting for orders behind him, who had expected their general to say something more, could only proceed with issuing the order themselves when they heard no further word.

What Victor saw, however, was an Astartes flying through the air not far in front of the command room where Victor was located.

This seemingly ordinary action shouldn't have prompted him to react in such a way. But the reason for everything lay in the extremely familiar chainsaw weapon held in that iron hand.

Sharp teeth, worn-out sheath, and the golden skull and winged emblem.

That deep-seated fear erupted instantly at that moment.

However, the Astartes did not notice this phenomenon and came closer to strike with his sword.

Tie Hui watched the beast from a distance, and for a moment he fell into deep thought and became wary.

Just now, the Devouring Beast clearly wanted to use a laser to slice through the main body of the lighthouse. Although it was interrupted, it doesn't mean it can't be used again.

However, after being interrupted, the Devouring Beast tightly closed its mouth and eyes, revealing a hint of shock and panic in its expression.

Anyone who pays close attention can spot this scene. After all, those big eyes, with their highly anthropomorphic quality, convey emotions that are hard to miss!
After that fleeting emotion, the guy refused to unleash the laser attack no matter what.

After much thought, the only thing that could be causing this is the brain of the Mana Primal inside the lighthouse.

With this in mind, I dialed Tarachin's number.

At this moment, in the base of Dragonbone Village, a Mark clone with his eyes wide open and a fanatical expression sat there naked, looking down at his hands.

However, looking upwards, the eyebrows and hair have completely disappeared. Even at the skull, the scalp and skull have been removed, revealing a brain wrapped in a nanofilm that is slowly wriggling.

And at the top of this brain, one cable after another connects, extending backward to Tarasin, who is sitting in a chair, making the same movements.

Seeing that Tarachin was experiencing an orgasm like his mother, he arched his neck back and said in a trembling voice, "Ah, that's the feeling, so intense!"

Hearing this misunderstood voice, Xia Tianlai couldn't help but turn around and tease, "Hey, I'm telling you... take it easy, don't actually faint! This equipment was painstakingly made from materials collected by the village!"

Hearing this, Po Kong nodded and said, "Hiss! Take it easy, old man! This body is enough for you to move around for five minutes after the connection is broken!"

As he spoke, he walked to the side, looked at the bubbling copper basin, waved his hand in his direction, and took a satisfied breath. "You should try our clear broth hot pot first! That slow, gentle soaking, slowly savoring feeling is just wonderful—"

"Jingle Bell……"

Just as everyone was looking forward to the hot pot they would be able to enjoy soon, a sudden, loud ringing bell rang next to Tarasin, startling everyone.

Even Tarahin himself was thrown into chaos. In an instant, the cave space erupted into a frenzy, with tiny explosions and angry shouts from the crowd.

And the mechanical priest stood there, chanting binary swear words in a rhythmic 1212, like a monk.

Bai Yuekui, who was observing from the side, helplessly rubbed his forehead.
