Protagonist:

Lin En

Lena

In the dim hall, this suit of golden armor radiated a dazzling brilliance like the sun.

The Sister's pupils dilated slightly.

"Renikes......"

Ralph silently recited this name in his inner heart with surprise and joy.

The arrival was precisely the Emperor's Custodian Guard, Renikes.

A Custodian Guard.

Three meters in height, standing tall and straight, like an immovable mountain peak.

She and Ralph were one of the Empire's most famous duos, known as the "Emperor's Claw".

Renikes possessed the Human Empire's most top-tier martial arts and technological equipment, capable of frontally destroying all tangible enemies.

While Ralph was a Psyker Black Hole, able to suppress all psykers and demons.

They had partnered for decades, executing countless life-and-death missions together, never once failing.

Just a few years ago, they were ordered to escort Black Ships to various locations, to levy "fuel" for the Human Lord.

During a Warp voyage half a year ago, they encountered a Chaos Space Marine warband.

To protect the psykers on the Black Ship, Renikes fought a Chaos Lord to the death; although she ultimately drove the enemy off, she herself suffered severe injuries.

Afterward, she had been slumbering in the finest medical hibernation pod aboard the James Tong.

Ralph had originally thought Renikes would need several more months to awaken.

Unexpectedly, at this most critical moment, she had actually woken up.

【Are you alright?】

Renikes used the Silent Sisters' specialized gesture to ask Ralph.

That gaze was calm and steady, carrying a reassuring strength.

Unlike her usual cold gestures, this time, her gesture held a trace of hard-to-detect concern.

Ralph shook his head, also replying with a gesture: 【I'm fine, be careful, this Green Skin is very unusual.】

Renikes nodded, indicating understanding.

She turned around, looking toward Lianggenna standing not far away.

Beneath the golden helmet, her gaze was like a torch.

Lianggenna furrowed his brows, sizing up Renikes from head to toe.

"Another one wearing strange getup, a shrimp."

"This time it's a golden one."

"Makes me want to eat corn......."

He simply did not put this suddenly appeared "Golden Corn" in his eyes at all, merely suddenly craving corn a bit.

In his view, the current him was invincible.

No one could defeat him.

"Scram!"

Lianggenna roared in anger, charging toward Renikes.

He held nothing back, a fist smashing toward Renikes's head.

This punch, carrying a howling wind sound, was enough to flatten a Terminator.

Renikes's expression did not change.

She fiercely raised her left arm.

The shoulder armor on her left arm met Lianggenna's fist.

"Clang!!!"

A metal collision sound loud enough to shatter eardrums rang out.

A powerful shockwave spread out in all directions.

The hall ceiling's expensive crystal chandeliers were shaken to pieces, raining down a shower of glittering crystals.

Gravel and dust on the ground were blown into a whirling dance through the air.

Lianggenna only felt his fist, as if it had smashed into a steel mountain peak.

A tremendous recoil force transmitted from his fist, shaking his arm numb.

This was the first time since his transformation that he had encountered

"Hm?"

Lianggenna's face revealed a surprised expression.

He lowered his head to look at his own fist.

On the metal gauntlet, a shallow crack had actually appeared.

And Renikes, also struck by the tremendous force of this punch, slid backward several meters.

A clear fist imprint remained on her left arm's shoulder armor.

But the material hardness of the Aurora Armor far exceeded ceramic steel, and it was not penetrated.

Renikes's gaze became incomparably grave.

She is the Emperor's Custodian Guard.

An existence standing at the peak of individual combat power of the entire Human Empire.

Unlike Space Marines who can be mass-produced using Primarch genes, the Custodian Guard are truly unique pieces.

Their genes come directly from the great Emperor himself.

Every Custodian Guard is a one-in-ten-thousand genius, having undergone the most cruel training and the most perfect gene modification.

That is gene editing from the Emperor himself; they are perfect creations!

She once single-handedly slew a Champion of Chaos.

She also once tore apart a Tyranid giant beast with her bare hands.

But that punch just now actually gave her a feeling of "being unable to overcome by force."

This Green Skin before her is far more powerful than she imagined.

"A bit interesting."

Renikes's voice remained calm.

She flicked her right hand, drawing the Guard Long Spear from her back.

This long spear is the standard weapon of the Custodian Guard.

The spear tip is forged from Pure Gold, flashing with cold frosty light.

The spear shaft has a built-in twin-barrel Bomb Gun, firing standard ammunition, but the warheads are made of Orichalcum, with power far exceeding conventional Bomb Guns.

"Now, it's my turn."

Renikes pushed off with her feet, charging toward Lianggenna.

Her speed is even faster than Ralph's.

Leaving only a golden afterimage in place.

"Take my spear!"

Renikes shouted loudly, the Guard Long Spear in her hand like a bolt of golden lightning, stabbing toward Lianggenna's heart.

Simultaneously, the twin-barrel Bomb Gun built into the spear shaft opened fire at the same time.

Two Orichalcum explosive rounds followed closely, shooting toward Lianggenna's head.

Lianggenna dared not be careless.

He hurriedly sidestepped, dodging the spear's thrust.

At the same time, he raised his arm, blocking before his face.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two Armor-Piercing Shells struck Lianggenna's arm.

The bullets embedded deep into his muscle, but failed to fully penetrate.

Lianggenna cried out in pain, roaring as he threw a punch at Renikes's head.

Renikes was prepared long ago.

She fiercely crouched low, dodging Lianggenna's fist.

Simultaneously, the long spear in her hand swept horizontally, sweeping toward Lianggenna's legs.

Lianggenna leapt up, dodging the horizontal sweep.

He did a mid-air turn, stomping a foot down toward the top of Renikes's head.

Renikes leapt backward, opening distance.

The two exchanged blows, engaging in battle together.

The golden long spear and green fists constantly collided.

Mars scattered in all directions, roaring sounds incessant.

The entire Hall trembled in their battle.

But whether speed or strength, Renikes was still a notch inferior to Lianggenna throughout.

She could only rely on combat experience accumulated over many years to barely hold her own.

Just at this moment.

Ralph also recovered some strength.

She struggled to her feet, drew the Power Great Sword, and joined the battle once more.

"Emperor's Claw", fighting side by side once again.

They have been partners for decades.

The tacit understanding between them has already seeped into their bones.

No words needed; a glance, a movement, and they know what the other intends to do.

Renikes is responsible for frontal confrontation, using her powerful strength and exquisite martial skill to tie down Lianggenna.

While Ralph maneuvers on the flank, constantly seeking Lianggenna's openings, launching fatal sneak attacks.

Their individual strength, though both are a far cry from Lianggenna.

Their cooperation is seamless.

One attacks, one defends; one orthodox, one unorthodox.

They actually gradually stabilized the situation, fighting Lianggenna back and forth.

Lianggenna grew increasingly irritable the more he fought.

He clearly possesses overwhelming strength and speed.

Yet he simply cannot quickly finish off these two women.

They were like two slippery mud loaches, always able to dodge his attacks at just the right moment.

Moreover, their attacks were extremely tricky, always able to land a hit on him when he was most uncomfortable.

Although they could not inflict fatal injuries on him, they still left him exhausted from coping.

"Damn it, are you two annoying or what!"

Lianggenna roared in anger, fiercely erupting with his whole body's power.

A green heat wave burst forth from his body.

Renikes and Ralph were simultaneously knocked back by the heat wave.

Lianggenna seized this opportunity, no longer entangling with them.

He fiercely turned around, charging toward the Bridge Gate at the end of the Hall.

His target had never been these two women.

But Dominic.

As long as he killed Dominic, this war would end.

"Stop him! Don't let him reach the Bridge!"

Ralph's face changed drastically, and he shouted loudly.

Renikes also immediately gave chase.

But Lianggenna's speed was too fast.

In a few steps he reached the front of the Bridge Gate.

He raised his fist, preparing to smash open the Bridge's gate.

As long as he opened this door, he would be able to see that proud shrimp Noble.
