Chapter 271: Cawl: Stop Asking! Stop Asking!

The effect of the Mechanization Device activated instantly, copying the mechanical functions of that Warlord-class Titan onto Zhou Yun without any reduction.

In an instant, Zhou Yun felt unimaginable power surge through his flesh and blood body, as if his entire person had transformed into a giant god dozens of meters tall.

He even felt powerful weapons that once belonged to the Titans growing within his body.

Of course, due to the limitations of the Mechanization Device itself, the more complex the machine, the shorter the time Zhou Yun could acquire its abilities.

He only copied the abilities of a Warlord Titan for a brief instant.

But that was enough.

Acheron-class Titan Power Claw—

Zhou Yun threw a punch at the Punishment-class Warbringer Titan, which was restrained in place by his ability.

His flesh arm felt as heavy as a Warlord-class Titan's Power Claw at that moment.

The head of the Punishment-class Warbringer Titan was struck heavily, tilting toward the ground, followed by a cracking sound erupting from its body.

Then came...

Sunwrath Ion Annihilation Cannon!!!

In Zhou Yun's other hand, scorching light flickered like a solar flare.

In an instant, the entire upper body of the Punishment-class Warbringer was swallowed by a plasma beam, and high-energy plasma dissolved the Titan's massive body layer by layer.

At the same time, a fierce explosion engulfed Zhou Yun's body, stripping flesh inch by inch from him.

The Titan's fall triggered an earthquake; the seven mountain ranges supporting Hera Fortress shook along with it.

The shockwave it raised instantly tore those nearby Black Legionnaires into fragments, shredding the war machines belonging to the Iron Warriors.

The surviving Black Legionnaires looked up in confusion amidst the ruins, seeing only a figure slowly rising from the Titan's wreckage.

Almost in an instant, Zhou Yun's body, damaged by the explosion, restored itself to its original state.

The battle on Macragge was so fierce that countless lives died every moment.

This made it nearly impossible for Zhou Yun to be killed—

The surrounding Black Legionnaires raised their bolters at Zhou Yun, but Zhou Yun merely glanced at them.

Those bolters instantly suffered from jamming, self-detonation, reduced accuracy, and other problems.

Seizing this instant opportunity, Zhou Yun pressed the Mechanization Device again onto the Warlord-class Titan he had forcibly held in place.

Mechanization Device... Warlord Titan!

Zhou Yun suddenly lifted one foot and kicked the ground fiercely.

A shockwave like a mountain collapse and earth splitting radiated outward from him in all directions; those Black Legionnaires were instantly shattered by the impact of the Titan's iron foot.

Zhou Yun grabbed the wreckage of this Punishment-class Warbringer Titan and stuffed it into his four-dimensional pocket.

In an instant, the four-dimensional pocket expanded to a huge size, swallowing the Titan's wreckage within it in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, three Warhound Titans rapidly lunged at Zhou Yun from the side.

Cawl watched the battle erupting outside Hera Fortress with confusion and bewilderment.

He only saw a figure jump down from the Stormraven, knock down a Punishment-class Warbringer Titan with a single punch, unleash firepower no less than the Sunwrath Ion Annihilation Cannon in the blink of an eye, and completely destroy it.

Afterwards, he not only easily dealt with the surrounding Black Legionnaires but also fought the Warhounds in hand-to-hand combat and won, even knocking down two Predator-class Titans in the blink of an eye.

Now he was engaged in close-quarters combat with the only Warlord-class Titan on the battlefield.

By the Gene-Father's chart, could this truly be the Machine God manifesting?!

Cawl felt numb for a moment.

He had just thought about asking the Machine God to quickly punish the rebellious Titan; how did it actually come?!

The Warlord Titan's firepower poured onto Zhou Yun's body; in the blink of an eye, Zhou Yun's body was shot through like a sieve.

But death continued on the battlefield, and Zhou Yun could still reverse life and death.

His body instantly repaired itself, then copied the Warlord-class Titan's mechanical functions again, enhancing himself with the Mechanization Device.

Zhou Yun's flesh fist collided with the Warlord-class Titan's giant claw; the two were evenly matched.

But Zhou Yun quickly extended his will into the interior of the Warlord-class Titan.

Dark, blasphemous, twisted, and rotting emotions came from within the Warlord-class Titan; the machine spirit of this Warlord Titan had almost been corrupted into a frenzied consciousness filled with the desire to destroy.

The crew members within were also flesh-and-blood connected to the Titan itself, becoming wetware consumed generation after generation on the Titan; their broken consciousnesses also accumulated on this Titan.

And there were demons; countless demons attached to every part of the Titan, their wills also blocking Zhou Yun's control.

This was the first time Zhou Yun faced a machine spirit in such a chaotic state; the components inside were far too complex, and he could not fully control it in a short time.

But since it wouldn't obey, beat it until it obeyed.

His consciousness forcibly pierced into the Titan's machine spirit, stirring it up; the entire Warlord Titan became stiff.

Seizing this instant of Zha Yan De Gong, relying on the legs copied from the Titan, Zhou Yun leaped to the front of the Warlord Titan's head, aiming his hand at the crew compartment.

Sunwrath Ion Annihilation Cannon!!

The Titan-exclusive plasma weapon exploded instantly.

The close-range attack simultaneously burned and melted the Warlord Titan's head and Zhou Yun's body.

But Zhou Yun instantly recovered by drawing power from death.

Although the Warlord-class Titan's crew compartment was burned out in the flames of the Sunwrath Ion Annihilation Cannon, Zhou Yun could still feel that those frenzied souls and demons still occupied it, even controlling the broken Warlord to counterattack Zhou Yun.

The Acheron-class Titan Power Claw instantly extended, pressing heavily on Zhou Yun's body and smashing him into the nearby Shanfeng.

Zhou Yun's body was instantly crushed, but in the next moment, it restored itself as before.

Death continued.

And Zhou Yun seized this Pian Ke De Gong to press the Mechanization Device again.

The plasma fire of the Sunwrath Ion Annihilation Cannon poured out from Zhou Yun's hand, and the scorching plasma directly melted the Warlord Titan's arm.

The frenzied souls and demons within let out sharp, sub-space level wails, and Zhou Yun seized this instant opportunity to completely crush them, taking control of this Warlord's machine spirit.

Karja looked at the scene before him with a disheveled expression.

Just moments ago, that Warlord Titan had been brawling with that figure, yet in the blink of an eye, the Warlord Titan began operating without a crew and turned to launch an attack against the other rebel Titans and the Black Legion.

At the same time, that figure flashed and vanished, seemingly disappearing from the spot to return to the Storm Raven.

Afterward, that Storm Raven slowly steered toward the direction of the Hera Fortress.

Karja pondered for a moment; with the fall of the Titans, the pressure on the Hera Fortress's main battlefield had diminished greatly.

He could temporarily free his hands; Karja resolved to personally meet the passengers aboard that Storm Raven.

He looked at First Company Commander Agman beside him, whose expression was still dazed, and signaled him to follow.

Agman quickly snapped out of his stupor, brought twelve warriors from First Company, and rapidly followed behind Karja.

The group ascended the stairs constructed of steel, marble, and barbed wire, walking briskly toward where the Storm Raven had landed.

Karja then saw that group.

The legendary Living Saint Saint Celestine hung her wings and knelt on the ground, praying to something unknown.

Karja did not worship the Imperial Cult, yet the holiness radiating from the Living Saint still touched his spirit.

However, what made Karja feel strange was that an Inquisitor he had never seen before was praying alongside Saint Celestine.

Karja felt wary of the Inquisitor; his predecessor, the Second Company Commander, was still in the Inquisition and had not returned.

Agman, standing beside him, also felt slightly uncomfortable at the Inquisitor's appearance.

Before becoming First Company Commander, Agman was actually the Second Company Commander; the subsequent Second Company Commanders, Trajan and Titus, had both once been his close subordinates.

Besides them, there was a woman dressed in Cadian attire; according to the intelligence Karja received, this woman was the leader of the Cadian 184th Regiment.

Karja also clearly sensed the psychic fluctuations on her—a powerful psyker, but not as strong as Digris; Karja made this judgment quickly.

Upon seeing Karja, these figures all bowed their heads slightly to greet him.

Only three ignored Karja's appearance, as if Karja were unimportant in their eyes.

That Eldar woman named Yvraine, her face as dark as water, gazed at the Storm Raven, lost in thought.

Beside her, an Eldar warrior clad in crimson armor stood guard.

These two Eldar were dangerous.

Karja made this judgment quickly.

Moreover, the woman being protected was actually more dangerous than the red-armored warrior.

Agman beside Karja had silently placed his hand on his power sword.

But Karja reached out and stopped him.

Afterwards, Karja's gaze fell upon the last person of the expeditionary force.

A Machine Cult Archmagos, whose body was far larger than Karja's, dragged a humming Auto-Sacramentum and stood beside the Storm Raven.

This Machine Cult Archmagos had flesh and blood on only half of his face.

And on that half of his face, sweat was constantly welling up, as if he had encountered something that made him very nervous.

Karja stepped forward slightly with confusion; before he could speak, that Archmagos Belisarius Cawl looked directly at him.

"I did it," said the half-face of Archmagos Belisarius Cawl, twitching.

"Ah?" Karja showed a slightly confused expression.

"The Titan, what just happened, I did it all!" Archmagos Belisarius Cawl seemed to have made a great resolve before saying this sentence.

"But..." Karja's expression was slightly strange.

"No buts, do you understand Titans or do I understand Titans?"

Archmagos Belisarius Cawl did not give Karja time to show doubt and cut him off directly, saying:

"I am an Archmagos of the Adeptus Mechanicus who has served the Omnissiah for ten thousand years; if I say I did it, then I did it!"

Karja's expression was slightly strange.

Indeed, among these people, only Archmagos Belisarius Cawl had some possibility of possessing such ability, but, but Karja felt something was a bit strange...

"But..." he spoke slightly.

"Don't ask, don't ask!" Archmagos Belisarius Cawl said, his voice trembling.
