Chapter 632: The Fall of the Hou (2)

"Use the energy cannon to hold the breach!"

A Hou officer shouted loudly, six energy tentacles suddenly unfurling from behind to pin a Modian soldier attempting a sneak attack against a stone pillar of the Temple.

"Humans! This is the price of resistance!"

Thirty meters outside the Temple, a brawny Catachan pulled the pin of a hand grenade with his teeth.

This veteran with three claw marks on his face suddenly leaped out of cover, the muscles of his right arm, covered in scale-like scars, bulging as the fragmentation grenade traced a perfect parabola.

"Boom!"

The six Hou gunners at the energy cannon emplacement were swallowed by the explosion.

At this moment on the Hou front line, a Modian Sergeant hacked through a roadblock with a chainsword, the roaring teeth grinding against the alien alloy to spark blinding red embers.

"For the Emperor!"

Following the Modian Sergeant's roar, several soldiers following behind quickly gunned down an alien approaching them with the laser guns in their hands.

"They clearly look like show-offs, why are they so strong!"

A Hou warrior was tackled by a Modian soldier, its head hammered twice with a "thud-thud" by the butt of a laser gun, followed by a shot from the laser gun.

The combat power erupted by these human soldiers shouting "For the Emperor" made these Hou warriors feel extremely strained.

"Three o'clock direction!"

The Catachan Sergeant wearing a hat growled on the communication channel.

Three figures ghosted up the ruined colonnade, their Catachan combat knives precisely hacking into the necks of Hou warriors, blood spurting out as the Catachan combat knives were pulled free.

A dozen Hou warriors, 4 meters tall and deformed in appearance, saw these brawny Catachans, and two Hou warriors directly used energy chains to restrain two of the brawny Catachans.

Green energy arcs triggered a chain explosion along the energy chains, blowing the two brawny Catachans, who were struggling to break free, into a sky full of fire.

"Humans! You don't understand what evolution is at all!"

A four-armed Hou warrior leaped down from the top of the Temple, piercing a Modian soldier's body with an energy blade.

Just as this four-armed Hou warrior flung the Modian soldier away, two poisoned throwing knives nailed into the gaps of its joints.

The four-armed Hou warrior instantly felt its puppet vision blur, and it soon collapsed onto the ground.

"Evolution my ass!"

A female Catachan warrior emerged from the shadows, her blood-stained military boot stepping on the twitching head of the four-armed Hou warrior, while she backhanded a blade to hack open the transforming alien arm.

"A mongrel who hasn't even fully degenerated its pain nerves."

At this time, Valantis approached the Temple gate with several War Dog Space Marines.

Valantis's Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd hacked into a Hou warrior blocking the way; just as he arrived at the Temple gate, Valantis suddenly felt an energy source surging from within.

"Careful! Watch out and take cover!"

Valantis signaled the War Dog Space Marines behind him to take cover, then saw more than twenty Hou berserkers shrouded in black fog rush out from inside the Temple gate.

The bone blades growing from the joints of these mutants collided with the War Dog Space Marines' chainaxes, emitting a shrill buzzing sound.

But these Hou berserkers were quickly dealt with by the War Dog Space Marines.

"Purge the aliens!"

Balthazar shook the blood off his chainaxe and said to Valantis, who was standing in front of him.

"There's no need to be careful with this level of alien, is there?"

"The energy source is inside; eliminate it, and this alien structure will collapse."

Valantis hacked a Hou berserker in two and was the first to walk into the Temple gate.

Seeing that the defeat was set and contemplating how to get the Bishop to support him, Heertui saw the rune stone representing the Bishop Sanctuary above his own Temple collapsing.

Heertui was shocked, immediately releasing energy to sense the situation at the Bishop Sanctuary behind, only to see the most terrifying scene.

The Bishop Sanctuary behind was collapsing in a sea of flames, and that Yingzhou was wielding a greatsword burning with fire, annihilating the remaining Hou warriors.

Every scene here was exactly the same as the prophecy described to him by the Bishop.

"Fire... it's him! That Yingzhou is the human from the prophecy! Damn it! Since when did he have that greatsword?"

Sensing someone entering the Temple, Heertui hurriedly withdrew his energy; soon, a tall human wearing silver-white armor led 7 tall humans wearing blue and white armor through the Temple Hall.

"Aliens! Accept the Emperor's judgment!"

Valantis activated the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd in his hand and charged rapidly toward Heertui; seeing this, the other 7 War Dog Space Marines also attacked the other alien energy bodies one after another.

But their attacks did not cause significant damage when facing the Hou energy bodies.

Heertui's energy bone blade collided with the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd, setting off a wave of energy; Heertui was forced back repeatedly by Valantis, and he looked at the tall human before him, his heart filled with confusion.

That Yingzhou! What kind of existence is he!

"You damned..."

"Too much chatter!"

Blue light flashed across the lenses of Valantis's helmet, and steam hissed from the joints of his Holy Shield Power Armor.

Valantis directly unleashed most of his psionic power, preparing to end the battle quickly.

The Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd suddenly burst with electric arcs, and the halberd blade cut into Heertui's left shoulder along the gap of the bone spurs.

Purple blood mist splashed onto Valantis's psionic barrier, sizzling into white smoke as it was evaporated by the energy field.

Heertui stumbled backward, crashing into the Altar, with only three of the energy bone blades held in his four hands remaining.

He looked in astonishment at the wriggling severed limb on the ground—the cut was corroded by some kind of energy, and the regenerating tissue turned to charcoal as soon as it emerged.

Watching the tall human approaching step by step, Heertui suddenly flung the remaining three bone blades.

The spinning blades split into hundreds of energy crystal spikes in mid-air, flying toward Valantis.

Valantis's combat boots stomped heavily on the ground, and the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd swung out a deep blue arc of light.

The crystal spikes on the charge trajectory were ground into powder by the halberd wind, and when the halberd tip pierced through Heertui's chest armor, the entire Temple was shaken to the point of crumbling inch by inch.

"The prophecy was not wrong! We are indeed destined to perish,"

Heertui coughed up blood foam and suddenly gave a ferocious grin; six Energy Tentacles suddenly extended from his pierced chest to entangle the war halberd.

"But this isn't over yet!"

Before he could finish speaking, Heertui was met with a knee strike to the face from Walantis.

Heertui staggered from the blow, and before he could recover, he was hoisted up by Walantis by his head.

"Did your Bishop not prophesy this?"

As he spoke, he slammed the twitching body against the wall, smashing a large crater into the entire wall.

Heertui struggled to crawl up from the pile of rubble, his Third Eye suddenly erupting with purple light, and an Energy Shield appeared before him.

But Walantis had already leaped into the air, the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd descending while wreathed in Psionic Lightning.

"For the Emperor!"

The moment the halberd blade cleaved through the shield, Heertui saw his own distorted reflection on the surface of the halberd—just like the Temple being consumed by flames in the Bishop's prophecy.

"No, I will not die at your hands! No!"

Heertui urged the energy within his body to its limit, wanting to maintain the Energy Shield before him.

Walantis exerted a sudden force with his arm, and the Psionic Lightning became even more violent in response.

The Energy Shield before Heertui finally could not hold, shattering in an instant; the shield fragments splattered like a rainstorm, and the moment the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd pierced through Heertui's four compound eyes, Heertui's energy body was also enveloped by the Psionic Lightning.
