Chapter 293: No Numbers? Then Unleash Mass!

He watched the Subspace explosive bomb being launched straight into the exact center of the black stone array.

The scene shocked the tomb technician, even more than the warning the Nobility had sent earlier.

His body was destroyed, while a backup body emerged on the other side.

He stared with his glowing Prosthetic Eye, dumbfounded, at the raging Xisi in the distance.

As Divine Power explosive shells kept piercing the black stone array one after another, the tomb technician felt as if it were his first day ever knowing this world!

"Not…"

"The black stone!"

"Anti‑Subspace!"

"Or inside the array of core nodes!"

"Why are you using Divine Power as if it were free???"

The tomb technician had thought his understanding of the galaxy was already deep enough, and his insight into humanity was thorough.

Thorough on the physical level.

But now, watching Xisi, he suddenly felt like a raw recruit in front of this shitty galaxy!

And while the tomb technician was stunned, the Dead Spirits troops around the distant Obelisk completely went berserk.

Hundreds of Dead Spirits infantry's red Prosthetic Eyes simultaneously flashed with glaring red light, their Gauss rifles rose in unison, barrels aimed at the charging Xisi.

Then a barrage of dense Gauss beams struck; Xisi dodged when he could, but when he couldn't, he somehow triggered a Hundredfold Divine Power Shield and held his ground!

This scene left the tomb technician completely stunned.

He blinked, then abruptly turned his head toward the nearby Dead Spirits troops, stunned and ready to unleash massive fire.

But at the moment the fire order was about to be given, the tomb technician and the Dead Spirits Nobility almost simultaneously halted all shooting.

It's not that they don't want to shoot; they just don't dare.

The black stone Obelisk array before them was made of ancient artifacts each excavated from the Dead Spirits dynasty tombs.

Not even damaging a single Obelisk, let alone scratching the core rune, would allow them to report back to the Silent King.

The Dead Spirits know better than anyone how lethal Gauss beams are.

If a single shot truly struck the black stone, even the most compassionate core would have to recall the fear of the ancient Dreaded Ones.

"Ground troops! Close‑quarters strangling!"

The Nobility and the technician's orders, laden with overloaded electromagnetic noise, instantly rippled through the entire array.

At the same time, the Nobility, fearing the troops below were too rigid, added an extra line:

"Prohibit heavy Gauss salvo! Absolutely must not damage the Obelisk!"

Then, the moment the order was issued, the densely packed Dead Spirits troops surged forward like a tide.

The front line consisted of Dead Spirits guards wielding living metal shields; the middle formed a formation of infantry bearing Gauss rifles; the flanks were heavy warriors marching with weighty steps; even three tomb Sphinxes advanced with mechanical gait, emerging from the Obelisk's shadows, their massive metal claws scraping the glass ground, leaving deep gouges.

In their eyes, the opposing few hundred human remnants, even with a slightly uncanny leader, were merely organic trash destined to be crushed under overwhelming numbers.

But the next second, their perception was completely torn apart.

Xisi had already crashed into the front of the Dead Spirits formation; as the Red Sword swung, it tore through the living metal defense with Hundredfold Amplified Divine Power.

One slash decapitated three shield‑bearing Dead Spirits guards, body and shield alike; the green energy fluid hadn't even spurted before the Divine Light on the blade vaporized it completely.

The Black Spear in his left hand also roared in succession; its unfired bullets, wrapped in Subspace black flame, each struck the Dead Spirits' core circuits with pinpoint accuracy, erupting clusters of green fireworks.

The black stone array of the spirit‑driven death zone indeed wildly suppressed his Divine Power, yet Xisi's Hundredfold Amplification has never relied solely on Subspace!

What terrified the watching Nobility and technician even more was their gaze fixed on those remnants.

Having lost firepower superiority and forced to rely on sheer numbers, they felt…

Those humans were getting stronger and stronger???

They are mechanical lifeforms; details humans might overlook are especially conspicuous to the Dead Spirits.

They didn't even hesitate; they were outright terrified.

Because they were certain that the opposing humans' combat power was skyrocketing with a terrifyingly exaggerated efficiency amid the slaughter!

This phenomenon utterly upended the Dead Spirits' understanding!

Conscripts who once required three or four people to share a single rifle now held their rifles with hands steady as rock.

If rifle bayonets couldn't move the Dead Spirits, they switched to super engineer shovels; a single swing flung half a Dead Spirits infantry's brain away!

The Black Watch soldiers were even more exaggerated.

They wielded heat‑ray guns and thermite grenades, already the crème de la crème selected from millions, and also carried the battle‑hardened survivors that Xisi had brought upon his arrival.

Now, brandishing these weapons that could truly damage the Dead Spirits, each of them seemed to be playing a god‑mode battle!

Even Danika, leading the First Saint Order's nuns, shouted "First Saint" while the Divine Light on their bodies grew ever brighter.

Each roar of the Explosive Gun in their hands could shatter several approaching Dead Spirits.

But the Dead Spirits were most horrified by Sakan!

This warrior, previously silent and only shielding refugees behind him, had now ripped off his damaged helmet, revealing the fire‑lizard brigade's signature dark skin.

The red pupils burned with a fury that seemed ready to scorch through the spirit‑driven death zone.

The women and children locked in iron cages, curled into balls!

The compatriots dragged away as experimental material!

The citizens who perished during the five‑year siege of Alert Star!

Each scene forged into the most ferocious force within his Gene Seed.

The fire lizard in Warhammer 40K's universe is the "Mercy of Women", so is it a Mother?

That's because you haven't seen how ruthless the fire lizards are when facing Alien Forms!

You can't possibly think that your misshapen Alien Form deserves the fire lizards' gentle kindness???

Sorry, all I can give you is a bomb!

And now, as one of the 40K "protagonists" with exclusive storyline.

Sakan, already powerful and blessed with a protagonist aura, after following Xisi also enjoyed Hundredfold Amplification.

He is no ordinary mortal; he is an Astartes superhuman.

The fire lizard's genetic Original Body is Wokan, already famed for extreme power and endurance; now, with Xisi's Hundredfold Blessing, Sakan's combat power surged to a level incomprehensible to Dead Spirits.

Especially when watching Sakan single‑handedly charge and overturn an entire hundred‑person Dead Spirits squad, the Dead Spirits Nobility trembled, pointed, and after a long pause managed to utter a tearless cry:

"Violation!"

Then, seeing Xisi and others unexpectedly turn the tables, the Nobility stared blankly, glanced at the black stone Obelisk, and finally gritted their teeth to issue a new decree:

"Send some small floating Obelisks up."

"Ah?!"

The attendant beside them looked shocked, while the Nobility hurriedly spoke:

"If we can kill these things, we'll report it to the Silent King."

"He will also approve my accidental harming of the black stone."

The Nobility could only infer from the scene before them, and if they truly could kill Xisi and report the news.

Upon learning this, the Silent King wouldn't even blame him for accidentally damaging a few black stone Obelisks; even if he blew up the entire Alert Star, the Silent King would still praise him for a splendid explosion!

Only the front leg of the floating Obelisk moved, and the rear leg's scene again left the Dead Spirits Nobility with huge confusion.

No one knows what Xisi said while pointing at the floating Obelisk, but a black‑green figure suddenly charged straight at the Obelisk.

"What does that mean?"

"An Astartes daring to strike the floating Obelisk?"

The Dead Spirits Nobility controlling the tomb watched the scene, their red Prosthetic Eye flashing wildly, full of disbelief.

But the next second, all Dead Spirits froze in place.

Sakan, alone, rushed into the Obelisk, doing who knows what, and a deafening blast caused the black stone runes to shatter instantly.

Green energy turbulence erupted like a tsunami, and the entire floating Obelisk's body instantly filled with spider‑web cracks.

Billowing thick smoke, it slammed into the Dead Spirits formation below, annihilating dozens of nearby Dead Spirits infantry as well.

And then......

The whole battlefield fell silent for half a second.

The Dead Spirits Nobility just stared blankly, then after a long pause spoke bewilderedly:

"What is this?"

"Humanoid anti‑vehicle weapon?!"
