Chapter 205, Big Demon
The so-called "demons" are powerful entities that are neither real nor illusory. They do not need to obey the laws of physics in the material world, and their existence itself is a distortion of reality.
According to relevant research, demons exist in the chaotic abyss, which is the dark side of the universe and a world of pure energy.
Demons can only enter the real universe under certain conditions, such as being summoned in a ritual, or an abyss rift that appears somewhere. But even so, they cannot stay in the real universe for a long time.
If this must be done, a part of the chaotic abyss needs to be dragged into reality to cover a part of the real world, which is the so-called demon world; or, it must be bound to a host, which can be a machine or a living creature.
The "great devil" refers to the strongest type of demons.
The demons that can be given this title are all the most terrifying enemies that mankind has to face.
Depending on the situation, the type of demon that appears will vary.
Very few people have seen the Great Demon with their own eyes, and most of those who have seen it have died.
But Martins and Rizzo are among the lucky few.
Their regiment had participated in a battle against the plague cult during the Atonement Crusade. When the Phoenix arrived at that planet, the war had actually entered its final stage.
Humanity has failed.
The Phoenix Chapter's mission was to assist the last of the Imperial Army in retreating from the planet.
On the battlefield, Martins saw with his own eyes something similar to the monster in front of him.
That is the Plague Demon classified as a Great Unclean One.
It wields a rusty giant sword and is invincible on the battlefield. Guns, missiles, laser cannons... all kinds of weapons bombarding its body are like tickling; even if they can cause actual damage, they will recover in a very short time.
There were two regiments participating in the battle. In addition to the Phoenix, there was another regiment wearing a blue background with red cross stripes, called the Iris Knights.
He saw with his own eyes that the Chapter Master of the Iris Knights, under the fire cover of multiple tactical teams, led his Honor Guard, all of whom were dressed in Terminator power armor, and charged towards the Great Unclean One.
In the duel, the Great Unclean One swept his rusty giant sword, easily killing one glorious veteran after another; the chapter master, brave and fearless, did not waste the sacrifice of his fighting brothers, and found an opportunity to jump high, pierced one of the demon's eyes with his fine power sword, and then pulled it down hard, cutting off the other eye and half of the head.
But that was all. Although the power sword pierced half of the demon's head, and the other two battle brothers took the opportunity to cut off the demon's rusty giant sword, they were ultimately unable to defeat the Great Unclean One.
With its other strong arm, it grabbed the chapter leader and slammed him to the ground, then stomped him to death. Then, it quickly sewed up its huge, half-cut head, and lowered its head to bite a Terminator veteran. Its highly corrosive saliva made the armor brittle, and its sharp teeth broke it in two with one force.
By the way, he used his remaining hand to pick up the giant sword that had fallen to the ground, and killed another person with a sweep...
Martins just watched from afar as a chapter commander with his elite Honor Guard, all wearing Terminator power armor, and a tactical team of at least thirty fully equipped with melta, plasma, and heavy bolter weapons, were all killed by a Great Unclean One.
It cannot be said that the Iris Knights did not fight bravely. They never retreated until the last man was killed.
But they were still killed by the Great Unclean One and the various monsters that swarmed out from behind him.
The Iris Knights are a relatively new chapter, and their combat experience is relatively weak. But so what? Would the same battle situation be much better if the Phoenixes were used to fight?
Martins doesn't think so.
The then-chairman of the Phoenix didn't think so either.
At that time, some people in the regiment wanted to go up to support the Iris Knights, but their chapter leader rejected this idea.
Even if a lot of Iris Knights died in battle, they could still return to their home planet to recuperate. But they were on an expedition of atonement at the time and couldn't afford the losses.
It is enough to complete their own tasks, and their mission is to cover the evacuation of friendly forces as much as possible.
Of course, the members of the Iris Knights were very dissatisfied with the fact that they watched the phoenix die without rescuing him. They even began to hate the phoenix, and the relationship between the two sides became bad.
But that’s a story for later, so I won’t go into details.
The reason he recalled that time was because the great unclean being that appeared before him awakened his memory.
This monster was almost identical to the one he had seen at that time; behind this big demon, on the demon engine, there was actually a deep gap about two meters long and half a meter wide, and three or four demons were crowded there, scrambling to get out.
If he really is a very unclean person, then it's all over.
Everyone present must die.
Martins even felt a shudder.
His thoughts drifted far away for a moment.
The regiment has just gained new hope and has new blood being trained. What would happen if they died here today?
What if they all died here, and the abyssal rift on the demon engine became larger and larger, eventually forming a demon wave that swept the world? Can the new blood of the regiment escape?
"Pay attention and watch carefully."
Rizzo's reminder brought Martins back from his daydreaming.
Rizzo's voice continued, "This is not the same team we ran into back then. They are different."
This sentence further helped Martins regain his sanity.
He observed carefully but found nothing unusual. He felt that there was no difference in any aspect, whether it was the mental pressure, the appearance, or the suffocating stench.
As if sensing Martins's doubts, Rizzo further explained, "The surrounding environment."
Martins suddenly realized.
Indeed, as Rizzo said, the existence of demons needs the support of the surrounding environment. The crack leading to the Chaos Abyss did release some of the Chaos Abyss's aura into the real world, but the crack was too small and the time it took to open was not enough. This level of coverage of the real world should not be enough to support the appearance of the most terrifying enemy, the Great Unclean One.
Could this be just a flower stand?
But what if this judgment is wrong?
"We have to go no matter what." Rizzo said, "We have no room to retreat. The Abyss Rift is best solved now. Delaying will only make the problem bigger and bigger."
"I understand." Martins took a deep breath and quickly began to arrange combat tasks.
…
Gowaga...
Or in other words, the Great Unclean One, who temporarily used the name of Gawaja, had already noticed the humans who had entered the same space.
But he didn't care.
To him, those insects were not worth mentioning. The important thing to do was to take advantage of this period of time to expand the abyss rift as much as possible.
It's just a bit slow.
He shook a huge bell - or bronze bell - which made a series of sounds. The evil magic inside him was trying to connect with the main body in the abyss. With his efforts, the crack in the abyss was finally slightly expanded. At least, it was easier for those demons who were scrambling to get out.
But Gawaja was still not satisfied.
The spiritualized gas field that supports this place is a bit small in scale; the previous despair ritual was not completed to perfection, so the plan was forced to be brought forward, so that the energy extracted from the spiritualized gas field is still a bit slow to be transformed into the chaotic power of despair.
But given the conditions, there is nothing we can do.
As for whether it will be destroyed by those guys outside...
Humph, the great Gawaga has come here with the help of that mortal's body. Although the origin of the body is not strong enough, and there is not enough time for him to drag his abyss essence out of the crack, he still doesn't think that there is anything on this planet that can threaten him and drive him out of the real world.
However, when those guys really rushed out, he was stunned.
Especially the one rushing in the front, the huge red Terminator power armor, made him recall some not-so-nice things.
Once, when he was conquering and devouring a planet, he was blinded in both eyes, had half of his head chopped off, and had one hand chopped off by a group of similar guys with different paint jobs.
Although he won in the end, it took him some time to repair his injuries.
The injuries caused by a fierce attack full of human courage are much more serious than those caused by guns and cannons, and are more difficult to recover from.
It took him decades to recover to his peak form.
After regaining his full strength, he immediately began to serve his father and took over the invasion of a small world. There happened to be a mortal who had accepted the grace of his father, which was a good bridge.
At this point, he thought that everything was almost done, and the whole world was about to fall into his hands. But he didn't expect that at the critical moment, among the human insects that came here, there were even some annoying space warriors.
And he's wearing Terminator power armor.
He is not very happy.
On the one hand, it reminded him of some not-so-good memories, and on the other hand, it made him a little nervous.
Under normal circumstances, he would have killed these four Space Marines and the human soldiers who followed them as a piece of cake.
But now, the essential strength he brought here is not enough, and he is really a little nervous.
He did not act arrogantly and stopped expanding the abyss rift. Instead, he raised the bronze bell in his hand and shook it violently towards the humans rushing forward.
Suddenly, a large number of monsters emerged from the many abscesses and broken wounds in his body.
Plague flies!
Many plague flies as big as puppies flew out, and together with many plague bearers and plague spirits that had just escaped from the rifts in the abyss, they charged towards humans.
Suddenly, a red laser beam burst out!
The human soldiers following closely behind the Space Marines directed their firepower at these monsters with extremely sophisticated shooting skills.
The Great Unclean One Govaga had to admit that, apart from those Space Marines, the other human soldiers were not weak either.
Many of his little darlings were shot dead in this round.
He felt angry. He roared and swung the rusty giant sword in his hand to chop down the Space Marine who was rushing in the front!
The Great Unclean One's sword seemed to have no skill, just a strong chop, but Martins, who was the first to bear the brunt, felt that he had nowhere to hide. He could only roar, raise the power sword in his hand, and strike upwards.
According to his previous memories, anyone who tried to withstand the Great Unclean One's giant sword would be killed with one blow, no matter who they were.
He could no longer think about what would happen to him and could only try his best.
The rusty giant sword fell.
But amidst the clanging sounds, Martins actually held on!
Even though he felt like he was enduring the heaviest blow he had ever encountered in his life, he still managed to withstand the blow with his firm will and the strong support provided by the 'Justice' Terminator Power Armor.
Gowaga was filled with hatred!
Before, he was praising the owner of this body for making the right choice, combining with him, being devoured by him, and allowing him to come to this world; now, he was cursing the weakness of this body, so that the flesh that allowed him to come and be transformed had a strength of only one percent of his peak period!
But what other solution is there?
While he increased his strength, he shook the bronze bell violently with his other hand.
The dark green spiritual energy visible to the naked eye gathered with the swing of the pendulum, as if gathering some terrifying power.
But at this moment, Gowaga felt that his strength suddenly weakened by three points, and he couldn't even suppress Martins.
The Chapter Master took advantage of the sudden reduction in pressure to push the greatsword away, then raised his other hand and fiercely fired a heavy bomb at the fat intestines exposed on the belly of the Great Unclean One.
Thick liquid and smelly blood flew everywhere, and the demon, who had been hit, took a few steps back with his huge body - he sadly discovered that even his resistance to damage had been reduced a lot.
You can't fight like this.
He turned his gaze back to the priest next to Martins.
The man held the false emperor's holy emblem in front of his chest and recited disgusting scriptures.
This was the main reason why his strength was weakened.
It dispels the influence of the abyss, making the power support that Gowaga gets from the abyss rifts less.
But this priest was obviously not as difficult to deal with as the guy wearing Terminator power armor.
Gewajia pointed the bronze bell at him viciously, and directly blasted at him with the power that had not yet been fully accumulated but was already terrifying enough!
