Chapter 268: Clown: Now the Clown is Me!

Xiang Xiang Leina, the Veil Walker, sensed the psychic power rippling through the air and, seeing the exit trapped by heavy psychic chains, couldn't help but be startled.

This terrifying psychic power.

Not to mention among humans, even among the Eldar Farseers, he is the best of the best, a powerhouse of the first tier.

The moment Xiang Xiang Leina, the Veil Walker, felt this surge of psychic power, she broke out in a cold sweat.

Just speaking of the psychic power Digris displayed in that instant—well, if we use that human psychic, Xiang Xiang Leina, as the standard, it's at least eighty to one hundred Xiang Leina levels.

This might not even be his full strength; at least in Xiang Xiang Leina, the Veil Walker's judgment, this Digris still has a considerable amount of psychic power unreleased.

Screwed up!

This thought instantly flashed through Xiang Xiang Leina, the Veil Walker's mind.

But soon that thought receded.

Why was she in such a hurry? It wasn't her who got screwed over; she was just dragged in to work for free.

As for escaping, Boss Zhou Yun's artifact called the Anywhere Door doesn't travel through the Warp; this Digris can't stop it!

So Xiang Xiang Leina, the Veil Walker, instantly grinned and looked at Zhou Yun beside her.

Her eyes were full of mockery and schadenfreude, as if she were mocking Zhou Yun for getting screwed over.

However, Zhou Yun glanced at her with a twitching eye corner.

"Still not planning to come out?"

Digris's voice rolled like thunder, surging toward Xiang Xiang Leina, the Veil Walker.

Xiang Xiang Leina, the Veil Walker's figure suddenly swayed, and she nearly fell to the ground.

Confusion instantly spread across her face; why was it targeting only her?!

"Eldar Harlequin, daring to infiltrate the Hera Fortress alone; you are indeed bold for your skill."

Digris's eyes, burning with psychic flames, looked toward where Xiang Xiang Leina, the Veil Walker, stood.

Xiang Xiang Leina, the Veil Walker pointed at herself, then looked at Zhou Yun beside her, her face filled with "f*** this."

Why was only she exposed???

This... this isn't right???

Everyone used the same Blind Spot Star!

"I don't know what method you used to hide your form; that is indeed highly advanced technique."

Digris said calmly:

"But I did not see you with my eyes; I foresaw your existence."

"Although your visual presence was blocked, the ripples you created in fate could not escape my sight."

Xiang Xiang Leina, the Veil Walker's mouth opened slightly.

In a daze, she realized the clown was actually herself!

Although she was originally a clown anyway.

Seeing Xiang Xiang Leina, the Veil Walker's confused expression, Zhou Yun helplessly shrugged his shoulders.

Even Sanguinius, knowing of Zhou Yun's existence, could not precisely prophesy his fate.

Digris's prophetic ability is far inferior to Sanguinius's, and he doesn't know of Zhou Yun's existence, so naturally he could not prophesy his presence.

But Xiang Xiang Leina, the Veil Walker clearly lacks this ability; she was exposed in Digris's prophecy.

"Still not revealing yourself?"

Digris roared in anger, waving his staff; instantly, a scorching psychic lightning bolt slashed down from the void, striking at Xiang Xiang Leina, the Veil Walker.

That Harlequin hurriedly twisted her body, trying to dodge the psychic lightning with her own powerful reflexes.

For a Harlequin, this was as simple as opening an ant-nut can with one's feet!

However, Xiang Xiang Leina, the Veil Walker suddenly felt her body slow down, as if she had fallen into a swamp of time.

That Space Marine Librarian actually slowed down time?!

Xiang Xiang Leina, the Veil Walker couldn't react in time; the psychic lightning struck her chest squarely, sending her tumbling to the ground, and the Blind Spot Star on her chest fell off.

Now she was in tears but couldn't cry; in the end, it was actually she who got screwed over.

Zhou Yun didn't need to care about her; once Digris killed or captured Xiang Xiang Leina, the Veil Walker and left, he could just use the Anywhere Door to escape.

As for selling out Zhou Yun... Xiang Xiang Leina, the Veil Walker felt the Soul-Locking Holy Scarab inside her body and cursed the Necrons even louder in her heart!

"Harlequin, who sent you here?"

"Are those two Eldar mixed in the expedition team your companions?"

"What is your true purpose?"

Digris's voice was like a great bell; each word carried intense psychic power and will, pressing down on Xiang Xiang Leina, the Veil Walker.

Three questions, three voices, almost instantly crushed Xiang Xiang Leina, the Veil Walker's will, making her almost answer Digris——————

"I————" Before Xiang Xiang Leina, the Veil Walker could speak, the Soul-Locking Holy Scarab inside her emitted a burst of electric current, stimulating her nerves and forcibly interrupting her.

"Speak!!" Seeing Xiang Xiang Leina, the Veil Walker stubbornly refusing to talk, Digris quickly wrapped his will with his own psychic power and forcibly pressed it down on her.

But Xiang Xiang Leina, the Veil Walker, controlled by the Soul-Locking Holy Scarab, couldn't speak at all.

Digris frowned; this Eldar's mouth was actually so hard? This was no ordinary Eldar! He needed to strengthen the psychic power!

For a moment, Xiang Xiang Leina, the Veil Walker was caught between the Soul-Locking Holy Scarab and Digris's psychic power.

Every time Digris's psychic power overwhelmed her will, the Soul-Locking Holy Scarab would physically interrupt her; then Digris's psychic power would force her to speak again, repeating this cycle.

Xiang Xiang Leina, the Veil Walker was in tears but couldn't cry.

A hand suddenly reached out toward Digris, who was releasing his own psychic power.

"Mechanization Device: Stasis Field!"

Zhou Yun's voice suddenly rang out; the mechanical ability copied from the Stasis Field in the Temple took effect rapidly, and a Stasis Field instantly enveloped Digris, freezing his movements in place.

"Sorry, this clown is my private property."

Zhou Yun said softly,

"Hilandry Veilwalker must be kept to bait Xigole. According to the cycle between Digris and the Soul-Lock Scarab, if this goes on, she'll likely be played to death."

Zhou Yun didn't believe Xigole would abandon Hilandry Veilwalker. He even fished out his own horn after it was swallowed by Slaanesh; did Zhou Yun think he was more dangerous than Slaanesh?

Even if he really did abandon her, he was still considering selling Hilandry Veilwalker to the Future Department Store.

After considering it, Zhou Yun decided to pull Hilandry Veilwalker out.

Meanwhile, Hilandry Veilwalker on the ground broke free from Digris's psychic energy, gasping in a huge breath.

"Boss!!" Hilandry Veilwalker wept with joy; she never expected Zhou Yun would actually pull her out!

After all, Xigole had been reading her messages but never replying; logically, she should have lost all her value by now.

"There's another one?"

Digris's voice suddenly pierced through the stasis field,

his figure surged with movement, raising the staff belonging to Hero Makardo in his hand; scorching psychic lightning circled around him, splashing down onto the ground,

he exerted force violently, tearing the stasis field open by sheer strength,

scorching psychic sparks flickered constantly in Digris's eyes, making him appear as an entity half-material, half-Warp.

Zhou Yun was slightly startled,

No wonder it was Digris, the strongest think tank currently in the Human Empire, a monster even a notch stronger than Morpheston today; the stasis field could only disturb him, unable to truly stop him.

Digris was equally surprised; there was actually another existence his prophecy had failed to detect?!

Moreover, even now, though Digris already knew of that person's existence, he could only vaguely sense him within this temple, unable to pinpoint an exact location,

what manner of dangerous existence was this!

Digris quickly released a burst of psychic current to wrap around his body, preventing a sneak attack.

Zhou Yun's heart settled at once,

with the items currently on his person, forcing Digris to retreat was not impossible,

his mechanical device still held a single shot of the Angel's Bastion anti-air laser specially made by the Plankton Boss; one shot and even Digris might not withstand it,

but the problem was Zhou Yun did not intend to kill Digris,

and the Guilliman Temple was right at the center of the Hera Fortress; if the commotion became too great, the Ultramarines could arrive within minutes,

could Zhou Yun wipe out all the Ultramarines just to resurrect Guilliman?

Wait until Guilliman resurrected, saw a ground full of Ultramarine corpses, and then told Guilliman these were all necessary sacrifices?

Wasn't that purely insane?!

Just as Zhou Yun was thinking, Digris suddenly moved,

the psychic flames in his eyes instantly flared up a notch, and vast psychic power surged in all directions,

since he didn't know the opponent's exact location, he would simply level everything around him!

Zhou Yun was not surprised Digris would make such a decision,

he withstood the first wave of psychic impact with his Phantom Thief DX Suit, then swiftly dodged aside,

but Digris immediately detected Zhou Yun's position; he raised his arm, intense psychic power gathering at his fingertips,

however, Digris's movement was a split-second slow,

because Zhou Yun's figure, braving the psychic impact, flashed forward and stood directly in front of Luo Bote Guilliman,

if Digris released his psychic power, he might accidentally injure Luo Bote Guilliman,

the probability was low; after all, there was still a considerable distance between Zhou Yun and Luo Bote Guilliman, and Luo Bote Guilliman was not without protective equipment,

but even the slightest possibility made Digris hesitate,

Zhou Yun seized this split-second hesitation from Digris and reached his hand into his fourth-dimensional pocket,

it had to be an item capable of forcing Digris to retreat within a few short minutes without causing too much commotion.

Zhou Yun's mind raced, quickly determining what he needed.

"It's decided to be you."

Digris, after a brief hesitation, retracted his force; he reversed his grip, using the staff as a hammer, psychic power coiling around it as he smashed toward Zhou Yun.

Then, Digris saw a linen-colored robe fluttering in the wind,

a terrifying sensation struck his heart directly, making his whole body tremble,

before he could react, his own body was violently thrown backward.
