Chapter 1099: He Is Not a Biological Entity

~7 min read 1,275 words

Sanguinius first turned sharply toward the east, using the towering chimneys and storage tanks of the industrial zone as cover, disappearing behind the building complex.

Kas watched the Primarch depart, then turned to face the Blood Angels Space Marines.

"Alright! Father trusts us this much, so we cannot let him down!

First and Second Squad, frontal feint! Third Squad, infiltrate from the west!

Fourth and Fifth Squads, follow me to break through from the east! Within 10 minutes, I want to see that building burning!"

"By the blood of Sanguinius! For the Emperor!"

The Blood Angels Space Marines dispersed, rushing toward their respective combat positions.

Sanguinius flew rapidly at low altitude, captured by the Fengqi surveillance network.

"Unidentified flying object! Moving at high speed! Direction... due north!"

"Energy signature matches... suspected Primarch of Xiuluosheng! He is acting alone!"

"All anti-air units! Lock onto the target! He must not be allowed to approach the Energy Center!"

The moment the order was issued, the entire anti-air system of the northern hemisphere of K-77 was activated.

Twenty kilometers away, three anti-air arrays opened fire simultaneously. Rune Bullets exploded in the air.

Sanguinius slightly adjusted the angle of his wings, his body carving an arc through the air.

Shrapnel from the shells struck the Psionic Barrier in front of Sanguinius, stirring up ripples.

Dozens of surface-to-air Missiles were launched from different directions; the missiles utilized a combination of heat-seeking and radar guidance, theoretically impossible to shake off.

Sanguinius lowered his altitude slightly, diving toward a densely built-up area.

At the moment of imminent collision with a high-rise, he folded his wings, completed a near-right-angle sharp turn in the air, and grazed the surface of the building.

The pursuing missiles could not react in time. Three struck the building directly, the explosion turning half the structure into ruins.

Several others attempted to follow the turn, but the overload caused structural failure, and they self-destructed in mid-air.

The remaining few missiles managed to keep up, less than five hundred meters from Sanguinius.

Sanguinius turned back, his left hand held flat, palm facing outward.

Two missiles suddenly went Out of Control at a distance of one hundred meters from Sanguinius, disintegrating in the air as if crushed by an invisible hand, turning into two Fireballs.

Sanguinius continued flying north, his speed not slowing in the slightest.

When Sanguinius crossed the edge of a city and entered the airspace over an open plain.

Thirty fighter jets swooped in from three directions, forming a three-dimensional Intercept net.

"Target has entered range!"

"All units, fire at will! Repeat, fire at will!"

The sky was instantly filled with beams and barrages.

Sanguinius accelerated, charging toward the fleet of aircraft ahead.

His wings turned into two streaks of white light at extreme speed, a faint golden halo shimmering on the surface before him.

The first interceptor flew head-on, the Energy Cannon at its nose firing continuously.

Sanguinius thrust the Power Spear held in his right hand forward.

The tip of the spear made contact with the fighter's Energy Shield, and then, the shield shattered.

The Power Spear pierced through the cockpit, cleaving the entire fighter in two.

Amidst the light of the explosion, Sanguinius passed through, unscathed.

The second and third fighters attacked from both sides.

Electromagnetic shells fired at several times the speed of sound.

Sanguinius tilted his body slightly.

The shells flew past his Psionic Barrier, stirring up faint ripples.

Sanguinius swept his Spear horizontally, the tip slicing off the wing of the fighter on the right.

Simultaneously, a Psionic Attack was unleashed, a golden light piercing the engine of the fighter on the left.

Both fighters crashed simultaneously.

The fourth fighter charged at full speed from behind, launching attacks continuously.

Sanguinius folded his wings forward, his body coming to a sudden stop and rolling in the air.

At the moment the fighter grazed past him, Sanguinius reached out and grabbed the tail fin.

Then, he gave a forceful tug.

The entire fighter had its direction changed by the immense force, spinning as it collided with another companion that was currently aiming.

The two aircraft collided in mid-air, turning into a massive Fireball.

Sanguinius released his grip and continued flying north.

From the encounter with the fleet until now, 8 seconds had passed.

Of the thirty interceptors, nine had already been shot down, and that golden figure had not even slowed down.

"He... he is not a biological entity..."

The surviving Fengqi pilot said, trembling over the communication channel.

"He is a god... or perhaps a Demon..."

"Shut up! Continue the attack! Use the Sonic Oscillator! Interfere with his flight!"

The remaining fighters changed formation, attempting to surround Sanguinius while activating special weapons.

Sanguinius frowned; this interference reminded him of the buzzing of some annoying insect.

It was time to end this.

Sanguinius accelerated once more, a sonic boom cloud exploding behind him.

Break through in a straight line with an absolute speed advantage.

The interceptor swarm attempted to give chase, but was quickly left far behind.

In a mere two minutes, Sanguinius flew over one hundred and fifty kilometers, leaving the entire interceptor swarm behind.

Ahead, the silhouette of the Energy Center could already be seen on the horizon.

It was a building complex as massive as a mountain range, with towering reactor towers piercing the clouds and energy conduits covering the earth.

The twenty kilometers of ground surrounding the core Energy Center belonged to the planet's highest defense level, featuring a three-layered array of Automatic Cannon batteries totaling four hundred and eighty guns of various types, with a range covering every corner from the ground to an altitude of thirty thousand meters.

Interspersed were Missile Fashijing and Energy Weapon towers.

In the air, there was a patrol network consisting of one hundred and twenty drones, each equipped with Armor-piercing Round and high-energy lasers.

When Sanguinius entered the restricted zone, all defense systems activated simultaneously.

Hundreds of high-energy beams wove into a web of death, attempting to trap Sanguinius in the center.

Sanguinius slowed slightly and began to perform dazzling evasive maneuvers.

Passing quickly through the gaps in the laser web, he rendered the net ineffective before it could even fully spread.

Fifty launch silos opened simultaneously, and one hundred specialized anti-air Missile soared into the sky.

These Missile were equipped with Plasma warheads, specifically designed to penetrate Energy Shield.

Sanguinius climbed, moving vertically upward, and instantly broke through an altitude of ten thousand meters.

The Missile swarm pursued relentlessly, but their climb rate was far inferior to that of Sanguinius.

Upon reaching an altitude of twenty thousand meters, Sanguinius suddenly stopped climbing, inverted his body, and began to dive head-first.

Gravitational acceleration caused the speed of Sanguinius to soar further.

At the moment of collision with the Missile, Sanguinius fully extended his wings, and his speed plummeted.

Simultaneously, the Power Spear rotated at high speed in front of him, forming a golden barrier.

The Missile struck the barrier one after another, and the fire of the explosions completely engulfed Sanguinius.

Inside the Command Center on the ground, the Fengqi Military officers held their breath and stared.

Did it succeed?

The firelight dissipated.

Sanguinius hovered in mid-air, completely unscathed.

The Power Spear in his hand glowed slightly red, and psychic light flickered incessantly.

The subsequent Missile had re-locked onto him and were flying over once again.

Sanguinius headed toward the Missile swarm, wielding the Power Spear.

Every swing accurately struck the warhead of a Missile, detonating it before impact.

The fire of the explosions bloomed continuously around Sanguinius, yet could not touch his body.

Five seconds.

All fifty Missile were blown up in mid-air.
