Chapter 989, The Evil God's Grace
Gu Jing glanced at the rapidly advancing enemy.
That was indeed an elite team, and it seemed that the enemy still took it very seriously.
Not only are they the most elite group of Marines, but they are also led by dozens of Chaos Space Marines.
But unfortunately, it was too late.
Even if the troops sent to stop and destroy him arrived, it would be meaningless.
Before arriving, Gu Jing had already learned of the existence of Space Marines among the enemy. These individuals now appeared to be Chaos Space Marines, whereas previously, they had been training Terra's Orbital Defense Force as 'instructors' under the guise of a loyalist chapter.
Of course, by now, everyone should know that they are helpers invited by these Chaos traitors, and they should all be Chaos Space Marines.
A group of dozens of people was not considered small. Moreover, Gu Jing believed that there must be experts among them.
But, what can it do?
It’s too late, and it’s too late.
After Gu Jing finished his internal review of the Solar Fleet, he realized that in order to allow Song Min's fleet to escape, there was another key issue that needed to be addressed - the orbital defense system of Holy Terra.
During the previous interrogations, it was not clear who the superiors of these high-ranking officers and generals in the Tzeentch sect were - this was normal, as the Tzeentch sect always attached great importance to confidentiality in this regard.
However, it was discovered through interrogation that a considerable number of high-level orders came from an orbital fortress called the "Base Holy Grail".
This orbital fortress is also one of the most important fortresses in the defense system of Holy Terra.
Quietly, Gu Jing used his psychic power to sneak in without triggering the anti-psychic transmission alarm in the fortress.
Then he lay in wait, waiting for his opportunity.
At this moment of battle, Gu Jing also saw that Robert was going to turn his support into a strong attack, intending to make a decisive move and directly seize the orbital control of Holy Terra.
Then he doesn't need to hide anymore, just take action.
The way he took action was to summon more troops and enter the battlefield directly.
It would not be impossible for him to completely control this orbital fortress and eliminate the corrupt leaders of Tzeentch who are likely to exist there by himself, but it would be a little difficult.
After all, one person can't do the work of many. Although he is still considered a "son of God", he is only one person after all. It is easy for him to be pinned down by some enemy strategies and be faced with difficult choices.
By then, we might not return empty-handed, but we might lose several important targets.
Then he might as well just summon enough helpers.
Even if there is a possibility of being exposed, it doesn’t matter, the teleportation array has already taken shape.
With his ability, it would not be a problem to get in a hundred or so Space Marines.
On the other side, the elites from the Grey Knights and Black Crosses were ready to go.
The Grey Knights' Grand Master Changting and the Black Crusaders' Grand Marshal Rossmond are two top-level God-chosen champions.
The Grey Knights that Changting brought with him were top experts in dealing with demonic corruption; and the Marshal's personal guards of Rosemond were all champion swordsmen.
This team had endured the explosion of the Cartier Fortress World, the wanderings of the Warp and the Eldar Webway, and the Terran Expedition organized by Robert, and had fought on till this day. Many of them had died along the way, and those who had survived to this day were, without exception, the strongest.
Before Gu Jing came, he explained to them the goal of this operation and the possible risks, and they agreed without hesitation.
Saving Holy Terra is our duty.
And those traitors from the Legion of Sages sent by Gallardo had to face such an invincible force both psychologically and in combat power.
The result, of course, is self-evident.
Without any hesitation, the "Sword Saint" Rossmond rushed to the front line.
Those traitors of the Sages Chapter also tried to use chaos sorcery to obstruct the Sword Master.
They have always been the best at this kind of thing. Most of the 'Sages' are not only Space Marines, but also outstanding Chaos Sorcerers.
Even their bodies beneath their sturdy power armor had long since mutated into a form most suitable for being carriers of psychic energy, and no longer had any human appearance.
However, they were facing the Grey Knights.
Grand Master Changting simply struck his scepter downwards, and the exorcism scriptures engraved on his armor and those of dozens of Grey Knights all lit up.
While they weren't like the Sisters of Silence or the Unleaked, who could completely eliminate psychic reactions in an entire area, the Grey Knights had their own abilities. They were experts in countering psychic and demonic attacks, not only because they could suppress their enemies' abilities in this area, but also because they had ways to exploit them.
More than half of the sage's traitors found their Chaos spells suddenly ineffective. Of the remaining half who succeeded, another half discovered their spells had affected themselves. They weren't completely wiped out, but at least they were too flustered to have any significant impact on Rosemond.
But in the end, about a quarter of the people successfully cast their spells.
Blue demonic fire, pink shock waves, disturbing mind invasion...all kinds of spells came one after another.
However, Rosemond just slashed with his sword.
He knew nothing of magic, sorcery, or the Warp; he only knew his sword. All he possessed was the swordsmanship honed over millennia, and beneath that, a core of unwavering will that could not be shaken by psychic powers or the evil magic of the Warp.
These evil spells and sorceries had absolutely no effect on him. In fact, with the sword he swung, all the spells were cut off and dissipated.
Also chopped off was the head of the Chaos Wizard Lord.
Then, Rosemond broke into the crowd and directly used the Wushuang.
No matter whether they were traitor warriors from the Sage Legion or elite soldiers strengthened by Tzeentch's evil magic, no one could be his match.
He alone tore the entire formation to pieces.
Then, the charge always failed to catch up with his guards before they arrived at the battlefield.
They were helpless, but they also began to skillfully take advantage of the flaws created by their own Grand Marshal to expand their victory and speed up the slaughter.
The Grey Knights who followed at the same time also increased their speed.
However, during this entire process, Gu Jing never showed up.
The Grey Knights and Black Crusaders didn't find it strange either.
After they resolved the current battle, they immediately split into two groups.
One of the groups, led by Grand Master Changting of the Grey Knights, was tasked with seizing the entire fortress and clearing it of corruption.
Changting was the perfect fit for this kind of mission. How to identify the corrupted, how to quickly eliminate them, how to temporarily appease others and make them assist...
This was the job of the Grey Knights back then.
He just didn't expect that one day he would do this kind of work and come to Holy Terra.
Oh, and there’s also the task of silencing someone.
However, silencing someone is clearly not the top priority right now, and it even seems that it is no longer necessary under the current circumstances.
As for Rosemond, he took two personal guards and went to support Gu Jing according to the route given by him.
When the previous battle just broke out, Gu Jing disappeared while no one was paying attention.
The outcome of this battle was undisputed in Gu Jing's eyes. He had more important things to do - intercept the leader.
Gu Jing had already noticed that the guy was about to run away.
We can't let the other party get away so easily.
Paralyzing the cultists' ability to command is of utmost importance.
And just as the other party can sense him, he can also sense the other party through the connection.
That guy is obviously very sharp.
He didn't place all his hopes on the strongest team he had sent out, hoping they could stop Gu Jing. This cult leader was prepared for the worst.
At first, he was moving towards the helipad, trying to take a fast space fighter and leave the Holy Grail base.
But when he was about to reach the fighter plane's position, he stopped.
He seemed to realize that the troops he had sent out were incapable of stopping the enemy. Gu Jing, who posed the greatest threat to him, didn't care about the battle at all and instead rushed straight towards him.
If he continues to choose to take the fighter plane, he will not be able to escape.
Even if he boarded the fighter plane, Gu Jing might be able to pull him down with his powerful psychic power.
He had to use some faster methods.
For example, when teleporting, the target location is the ground.
This is possible for most high-level psychics; but the difficulty lies in the psychic confrontation between the two sides.
Just like Gu Jing, who quietly entered the fortress and teleported a hundred Space Marines in, many S-level psychics could do it; however, they could not break through the fortress's anti-psychic teleportation equipment. In the case of interference, let alone teleporting a hundred Space Marines, even the S-level psychics themselves could not come in this way.
Not to mention, people can't detect it in advance.
Gu Jing was able to do it because his level was much stronger than that of an S-level psychic.
And for the leader of the Tzeentch sect, the difficulty in teleporting to the ground is not the teleportation itself, but how to complete the teleportation under Gu Jing's interference?
Of course, Gu Jing couldn't just sit there and watch him succeed, so he had already taken the necessary measures to interfere with him.
But what he relied on was the blessing from Tzeentch.
The teleportation array was built quickly and is ready.
Gu Jing could already sense that the other party was standing in the middle of the teleportation array.
But it didn't start.
It appears to be chanting a prayer, communicating with the Warp, calling for blessings.
And Jianqi gave his blessings without hesitation!
If everything happening on Holy Terra right now is a grand performance, then as the four most important audience members, they are not stingy in rewarding the 'actors' who can bring more exciting changes to the performance; they are also not stingy in giving greater support to the actors they support, so that the results will be more in line with their own preferences.
Gu Jing felt a huge terror!
His long-time dependant, the Lord of Change, suddenly lost his temper. Even though he had been cleansed and the very nature of the Warp had long since changed, under the sheer pressure, he had transformed from a massively winged demon lord into a trembling quail.
But he still didn't want to give up.
Is it true that the only thing Gu Jing relied on along the way was the Myriad Changes Demon Lord given by his biological father?
Not really.
He also has a fragment of the core of the godhood from the Eldar god given by his biological father.
He squeezed the power out of it without hesitation, and then, with the strength of an Alpha-level psychic that he himself possessed, he controlled it with all his might and continued to teleport while resisting the interference target.
At the same time, his body exploded without any hesitation, flying at high speed and approaching the target.
Blood gradually flowed from the corners of his mouth. His interference could not last long. He had to arrive in person before he could no longer hold on, and then physically engage the enemy at close range.
We must hold on until Rossmond arrives, so that we can stop the enemy.
Now is the most dangerous time.
But he still thinks too highly of himself.
It was as if he felt provoked, or perhaps he thought the game here was very interesting, so he paid a little more attention... In short, Gu Jing felt the pressure suddenly increase.
He was already under so much pressure that he could hardly breathe, and this moment almost crushed him.
But at this moment, a force rising from his body straightened his spine.
At the same time, a terrifying bolt of lightning struck through the subspace.
The faintly audible evil laughter turned into a surprised scream, but was immediately drowned out by even more violent thunder.
Gu Jing could guess what happened, so he couldn't let him down.
Gu Jing, who flew faster, finally arrived at the target location.
He saw the rebel leader.
"It's you..."
To be honest, Gu Jing was a little surprised.
Anyone who has been in the Alliance's high-level power system for a long time knows that the Alliance has a biggest ally in the center of the empire, namely, Prime Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs Gallardo.
But I never thought that this guy would stand on the opposite side.
Since the teleportation failed, Gallardo's effort was not in vain.
His body was filled with the evil magic of the Warp, and continued to grow, until his clothes were torn apart.
Eyes began to appear on his twisted body and opened one after another.
There was a smile on his twitching face.
"Ah, it's you, Gu Jing... You look about 60% like your father."
"That's fine, then. Let me keep the six percent interest I received from you for all the years he's deceived and played with me."
