Chapter 629: C'tan Burner vs. Four AA Batteries

At the deepest structural level of the world, that robot did not exist; it was as if it simply had no place in this reality.

Or rather, the materials it used, the principles upon which it operated, and the knowledge required to construct it had absolutely nothing to do with this world.

But if that were the case, how was this thing built? And how could it function and exist?!

The Silent King felt his vast knowledge being ruthlessly humiliated at this moment.

But the colossal robot gave him no time to ponder.

The robot arranged its arms into a triangle with mechanical precision, and a sharp, blinding beam of light erupted from between its brows—a piercing, dazzling blade of light shot toward the Silent King.

The defense system of the Command Wang Zuo activated automatically, casting a time field around the Silent King. This layer of field could slow the flow of time, turning every dangerous attack into a turtle-like crawl.

Yet, even slowed, the speed of the light blade remained bizarrely fast. Seizing the brief moment bought by the time field, the Silent King quickly manipulated the Triarch Stelae standing on both sides of the Command Wang Zuo to intercept it.

One of the Triarch Stelae, flickering with emerald light, blocked the path of the light blade. This Necron construct, designed to protect the Triarch, was capable of constraining and absorbing the energy of stars, but the moment it collided with the light blade, a deep, profound gash was carved through the entire length of the stele.

Almost simultaneously, the Silent King moved the other Triarch Stele in front of him. The C'tan Shard of the Burning One, restrained behind the Command Wang Zuo, let out a shrill, miserable scream.

This shard was the largest fragment of the Burning One, reaching the level of a Supreme C'tan, yet it was now being squeezed by the Silent King like a battery.

An annihilation beam shot out from the Triarch Stele, transforming into an emerald pillar of light that surged toward the robot standing in the sky.

The robot crossed its arms to form a shield. The annihilation beam, drawing upon the power of the Burning One, struck its arms, yet it left behind nothing more than a layer of pitch-black scorch marks.

But this sight brought the Silent King a sliver of relief.

Its attacks could be blocked, and it could be harmed by the Silent King's own attacks.

Then the Silent King would inevitably secure victory.

In about seven minutes, the long spear in his hand would be able to operate at full power again. At that time, he could bypass the robot's defenses and tear Zhou Yun's existence apart completely.

Time, time was on the Silent King's side.

The Silent King also had the confidence to hold out for these seven minutes. Although his Command Wang Zuo lagged behind Zhou Yun's robot in both defensive and offensive dimensions,

there was one point where the Silent King believed he held an absolute advantage:

energy.

Powerful constructs like Zhou Yun's robot and the Silent King's Command Wang Zuo consumed astronomical amounts of energy.

The Silent King's energy came from the largest fragment of the Burning One, and the energy within it was nearly infinite.

Zhou Yun's robot must have used some powerful, unknown energy source fused with a vast crystallization of technology, but in the material universe, what kind of energy could be mentioned in the same breath as a C'tan Shard?

Looking at the energy gauge, where the Titanic robot's energy had been depleted by a full quarter due to that last Titanic Flash,

Zhou Yun quickly pulled four AA batteries from his pocket, opened the battery compartment inside the Titanic robot's cockpit, and replaced the four AA batteries that had partially depleted their charge, ensuring the Titanic had sufficient energy for the battles to come.

【Item Name: Titanic Robot Assembly Kit (3rd Anniversary Deluxe Enhanced Edition)】

【Origin: 22nd Century Earth — Future Department Store】

【Production Date: 231. M3】

【Function: A colossal robot kit best suited for boys to assemble and play with. It has been the top-selling item in its category for three consecutive years in the 22nd century, and this Deluxe Enhanced Edition has now been released. The exterior is a paper box containing a large number of parts; after opening, it requires two to three days to assemble. It stands approximately sixty meters tall, weighs one hundred thousand tons, and outputs thirty million horsepower. Once assembled, it requires four AA batteries for power. Without replacing the batteries, it can fly continuously for over ten hours, swing its fists continuously for five hours, and using the Titanic Flash from between its brows consumes one-quarter of its battery charge.】

"Note: This product has upgraded horsepower output and added the Titanic Flash function, but due to excessive energy consumption, there is a heating phenomenon. Furthermore, due to defects in the cooling system, heat accumulates in the cockpit, causing several children to suffer heatstroke. It is now on sale at a 30% discount, limited to adult customers only."

The Titanic robot, along with those clay robots molded into the likeness of Sanguinius and the Mechamaru hidden within the clay robots, were all items Zhou Yun had prepared to deal with the Silent King.

It was truly fortunate that this Titanic robot (3rd Anniversary Deluxe Commemorative Edition) had design flaws, making it cheaper than the original version that lacked the thirty-million-horsepower output and the Titanic Flash; otherwise, the money required for this robot alone would have been enough to make Guilliman, who was responsible for fundraising, vomit a thirteen-meter-high pillar of blood.

The figure of the Titanic robot flashed. This massive robot displayed a speed that did not belong to its size at all, instantly leaping in front of the Silent King.

A pair of iron fists tore through the air, smashing toward the Silent King's face. The thirty million horsepower instantly ignited the planet's thin atmosphere into a dazzling orange-red. The violent wind from the fists caused the surrounding ground to crack and disintegrate before even making contact, and the bodies of the two Triarchs beside the Silent King also swayed.

The Triarch Stelae rose from the ground, blocking the path of the Titanic robot. Heavy fists collided with them. Under Zhou Yun's control, the Titanic robot swung its fists against the Triarch Stelae with extreme speed.

The Triarch Stelae, which had already been carved with a deep wound by the Titanic Flash and had not yet had time to recover, were immediately shaken, developing several more cracks.

At this moment, the Silent King also manipulated the other Triarch Stele, aiming at the crystal on the Titanic robot's forehead that released the Titanic Flash.

The sound of flapping wings suddenly rang out in the thin air.

The figure of Sanguinius appeared from the sky. He closed his eyes gently, feeling that his body had never been so light.

The wound Horus had left on him had still not truly healed; that wound was like a rope, forever connecting him to the Gods, and the Gods were never willing to let go.

But now, he could barely feel the pain from that wound. Slaanesh and Nurgle had withdrawn most of their power, and Tzeentch and Khorne had also secretly weakened their influence.

And so, Sanguinius opened his golden eyes. ===== CHAPTER 630 =====
