Chapter 786: Destroying the Giant Weapon Factory (2)

Hum!

Valantis pointed the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd forward with a sudden thrust!

On the silver-white Power Armor of the five Grey Knights, ancient runes instantly lit up with a blinding blue-white radiance.

Violent psychic energy surged and gathered around their bodies!

Even the scarlet alarm lights were suppressed by this pure psychic brilliance!

"Purge!"

Valantis's voice rang out, bolstered by psychic energy.

Crack—Boom!!!

Five immensely thick, twisted, and violent bolts of Psionic Lightning shot forth.

The lightning crossed the battlefield, striking the densest assault front of the Cyberk soldiers!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Cyberk soldiers directly struck by the Psionic Lightning—whether they were elite Cyberk soldiers, heavy "Smasher" mechs, or hovering "Swarm" turrets—were instantly melted under the extreme heat and psychic shock.

The precise internal circuits and processors burst with blinding electrical sparks amidst the overloaded psychic energy; the affected units' armor twisted and deformed, their electronic components instantly burned out, and they collapsed to the ground, emitting thick smoke.

A single attack.

A massive chunk of the surging Steel torrent of the Cyberk was wiped away.

Leaving behind a ground full of molten metal wreckage, twisted scrap, and sizzling scorch marks.

"Troopers! Advance! For the Emperor!!"

Accompanied by the steady command, squads of well-equipped soldiers in ornate uniforms, wielding Laser Guns and Melta Weapons, launched an assault toward the gap torn open by the Grey Knights.

They were the Emperor's Sharp Knife, the iron Barrier of the humans.

They stepped over the still-smoking molten metal slag and charred Cyberk remains, quickly forming a firing line.

Precise firepower swept away the remaining enemies that had not been completely destroyed by the lightning and were now in chaos and paralyzed.

The gap was quickly expanded and consolidated!

"The time has come!"

Sanguinius's golden figure soared into the sky, wings spread, hovering above the massive structure of the factory's main body.

His gaze pierced through the Steel Barrier, locking onto an energy node and the main assembly line of the factory.

"Corax! Titans! Target—factory energy node! Destroy it!"

"Understood!"

Corax's figure merged into the shadows once more, stealthily moving toward the depths of the factory with the goal of destroying the control system and Command Node.

Two Warhound-class Titans turned their massive bodies, their heavy footsteps crushing the wreckage on the ground.

Their enormous plasma blast cannon muzzles began to frantically gather destructive blue-white light again, aiming directly at the exposed, massive energy reactor shell of the factory's main body and the support structures of the main assembly line.

The Vulcan Mega-bolter arrays shifted direction, aiming at the defensive turrets still firing on the factory perimeter and the sporadic "Smashers" attempting to approach and interfere; the terrifying boom of *thud-thud-thud-thud-thud* rang out again, clearing obstacles for the plasma blast cannons' charging with a storm of metal.

Sanguinius hovered above the main body of the Giant Weapon Factory, his golden wings spread, the psychic radiance emanating from his body dispersing the smoke and red alarm lights permeating below.

Sanguinius's gaze pierced through the Steel framework and the crisscrossing conveyor pipes, locking onto the energy node closest to him.

It was a massive spherical reactor embedded in the core of the giant assembly line, protected by heavy armor.

He was just preparing to dive down and destroy the heart of this factory with the force of thunder, when his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a special area beneath the reactor, beside the assembly line.

It was... living beings!

Sanguinius's pale blue pupils constricted!

He lowered his altitude, hovering above that area.

Through the thick, transparent reinforced glass, the scene inside made his brow furrow.

The pipes were filled with a pale green, viscous nutrient solution.

Soaking within them were pale, withered Human bodies!

Their skulls had been opened, revealing gray matter brains.

These brains were not intact, but had specific tissue regions precisely cut and removed.

Dense, blue-flashing neural interfaces and data cables were stabbed into the remaining brain tissue!

These forcibly extracted and processed brain tissues were being soaked in a special culture medium, connected to complex mechanical devices.

They were not thinking, but were in a state of extreme agony, being forcibly drained.

Sanguinius's powerful psychic perception instantly pierced through the glass and nutrient solution; he clearly "heard" countless souls wailing, collapsing in extreme agony, and gradually annihilating in despair.

It was the mournful cries of souls being forcibly bound, desecrated, and burned as fuel.

"Alien! You dare to desecrate life like this! To torture Humans so!"

Sanguinius's voice trembled with extreme rage.

He no longer looked at the energy node.

At this moment, destroying this place of desecration and rescuing those compatriots who still held a breath of life was the only goal!

"In the name of Sanguinius! In the name of the Emperor and Humanity! Your sins end here!"

The wings behind Sanguinius suddenly erupted with dazzling light.

Boom—!!!!

The wings, wrapped in highly compressed psychic energy, instantly tore through the thick reinforced glass.

Viscous nutrient solution mixed with glass shards splashed everywhere.

Those precise mechanical devices connected to the "Shengwu CPU" twisted, exploded, and turned to dust under the violent psychic shock!

Sanguinius precisely controlled his power, avoiding those fragile bodies soaking in the nutrient solution.

Amidst the explosions and flying debris, his movements transformed his psychic energy into invisible, gentle palms, carefully lifting those survivors who still had faint vital signs and had not yet been completely drained.

Sanguinius identified them, pulling his kin whose soul-fires had not yet fully extinguished—one, two, three... —rapidly from the shattered conduits and melted machinery, using his own gentle psychic power to temporarily protect their fragile lives.

"Alert! Maximum threat! Profaner invading Core Processing Area! All units! Intercept immediately! Destroy target!"

The synthesized electronic voice echoed inside the factory.

Hum! Hum! Hum!

From the maintenance platforms on the higher levels of the factory and hidden launch silos, dozens of flying-model Cyberk soldiers equipped with jetpacks and light weapons took flight!

Dense energy beams shot toward Sanguinius, who was in the middle of saving people!

"Get out of my way! Filthy insects!"

Sanguinius did not even turn his head! With one hand he shielded the few survivors he had rescued, while his other hand gripped his Power Spear and swung it violently backward!

Whoosh—!!!

A massive, solid golden Psychic Shock wave swept outward instantly!

The incoming energy beams collided with the shock wave and were instantly annihilated.

Bang bang bang bang—!!!

Dense sounds of explosions rang out.

The Cyberk flying soldiers struck by the Psychic Shock wave had their bodies instantly twisted and disintegrated, exploding in the air into clusters of burning fireworks.

The wreckage fell, smashing onto the assembly lines below and the heads of the Cyberk Infantry.

With just a single strike, dozens of Cyberk flying units were reduced to ashes.
