Chapter 1025, Incarnation and Key
The moment King Lionheart stepped onto the battlefield, he made a stunning first impression and gave an amazing performance.
This was the situation he had designed.
He knew that the naval guns could not destroy Bassall, but they could create opportunities for a surprise attack;
A Chaos Titan was deliberately left on the assault route. Using combat instinct, it dodged Bassol's barrage of fire, but the next wave forced Bassol to avoid a direct attack—because of the Titan in the way.
With a few more sword strikes, the Titan was chopped down and destroyed, and he also took this opportunity to shorten the distance between himself and Bassol.
This is not only a tactic, but also a huge boost to one's morale.
Before this, no one had ever successfully dodged when facing Bassol, and they were almost always targeted or killed instantly.
But the Lion King's performance broke this.
The Space Marines who rushed forward with the Lion King roared and helped Leon share the pressure from other aspects.
And Leon also took on all the pressure from Bassol for his descendants and the Blood Angels who followed him.
Bassol recognized Leon's identity.
He also understood that the battles elsewhere were no longer important.
Kill Leon here, and the war will be won. The huge stone he desires will fall into his hands as he wishes.
If Leon is not killed, the situation will change dramatically. As the battle drags on, the powerful backing of the Human Empire will continue to send troops and experts.
It turned into a war of attrition... To be honest, sometimes the Void Zerg can't even outlast the Human Empire, and Bassol doesn't have that kind of confidence.
What he had longed for for countless years was right before his eyes, the success of his grand plan was right before his eyes, and he could no longer wait.
The Son of God of the god in the Warp who cannot be offended?
Kill them all!
Bassol's attack comes again with ferocity!
This time, it was not an energy weapon, but an inconspicuous diamond-shaped crystal at the end of a mechanical arm covered with sophisticated scaly armor from His body.
A strange "neural stealing ray" that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye shot out from it.
This ray was silent and ignored physical defense, piercing Leon's brain!
The ray hits accurately.
“Ugh—!”
Even someone as powerful as the Son of God couldn't help but let out a short, painful groan! It felt like millions of red-hot steel needles instantly piercing his brain, and like cold, venomous snakes biting madly through his nerves! His vision blurred instantly, and countless fragments of blasphemous knowledge and twisted, crazy mechanical whispers flooded his consciousness like a torrent!
The severe nerve pain caused his sword-holding arm to tremble uncontrollably for the first time, and his movements inevitably stiffened for a moment!
"Got you, old lion!" Bassol's incarnation let out a harsh electronic laugh, as if countless gears were rubbing against each other.
The pair of "demon wings" behind it, composed of dozens of mechanical arms, suddenly and mysteriously folded, combined, and transformed! With the teeth-grinding sound of metal friction and the hum of energy, they instantly combined into two enormous, super-giant power claws, covered in layers of armor plating, with front ends extending several meters long and gleaming with the light of a decomposition field. Like a pair of mechanical dragon claws from the abyss!
This pair of terrifying giant claws, with the power to tear the earth apart, closed and grabbed Leon, whose body was slightly stagnant due to the severe nerve pain, from the left and right. The entire space seemed to be locked by these two giant claws, and there was no escape!
Organglon and all the other angels of death who were watching this side were terrified!
At this crucial moment, Leon's golden eyes shone with a light brighter than the core of the sun! That wasn't despair, but a burning desire to fight, utterly enraged and burning to its peak!
“Get out of here!!!”
A soul-splitting roar, brimming with the Son of God's full will and power, erupted! This force fused together his millennia-old fighting spirit, his faith in the Emperor, his duty to his descendants, and his utter fury at the blasphemous existence before him! It fiercely assaulted the "neural theft" instilled in his mind by Bassol's avatar, like a raging tsunami washing over a filthy mire, instantly dispelling most of the cold, venomous snakes and twisted whispers that had infiltrated his brain!
The severe pain subsided slightly and he regained consciousness in an instant!
Facing the giant mechanical claws that had already closed in front of him, emitting an aura of destruction, Leon did not attempt to retreat—that would only cause him to be grabbed and torn apart faster. He chose the most extreme and crazy method!
Instead of retreating, advance!
He held the Lion King Sword across his body, and the spiritual energy condensed on the sword was as bright as liquid gold!
He was like an arrow shot from a bow, and in the last gap before the giant claws completely closed, he rushed decisively into the chest of Bassol's incarnation - the core area where the pale flesh and blood were most closely integrated with the precision machinery!
The huge power claws formed by the combination collided violently because the target suddenly "disappeared" from the attack range, causing a deafening sound of metal clashing and dazzling energy sparks, but it had already missed the target!
“Puff!”
The sound of the decomposition field scorching flesh and metal was terrifying! The tip of the Lion King Sword fiercely penetrated the wriggling, pale flesh inlaid with countless tiny tubes and gears on the chest of Bassol's incarnation! The violent psychic energy on the sword instantly poured into it, attempting to disintegrate this blasphemous creation from within!
"roar--!!!"
This time, it was the turn of the incarnation of Bassol to roar in pain and anger!
It obviously didn't expect that Leon would use such a nearly suicidal method to break through its carefully designed final move!
Lion succeeded! He successfully stabbed the Lion King Sword into the heart of the incarnation of the evil god! He could feel the resistance from the tip of the sword, which was the resistance of highly compressed chaotic energy and the twisted laws of the subspace.
However, just as the Lion King Sword's spiritual energy was madly poured in, trying to detonate the core of this incarnation, something strange happened!
No blood or energy flowed out of the wound pierced by the Lion King Sword. Instead, a deep, cold, blue light suddenly burst out that seemed to be able to freeze everything!
This light was so familiar—it was exactly the unique energy signature emitted by the "weapon" that Gu Hang had described, sealed deep within the heart of the Knight Star! It was also the core power that constituted that "key"!
It did not explode outward, but instead, like a greedy tentacle, it madly eroded and wrapped around Leon's arm along the blade of the Lion King Sword!
"Key... fragment..." Leon suddenly understood! Bassol had actually embedded a crucial key fragment, a key part of the Knight Star's geocentric device, directly into his own avatar's energy core, serving as both a source of power and the ultimate bait and trap!
