Ralph gripped the hilt of the Flower of Heavenly Tribulation tightly, pressing it deeper into Lianggenna's nape.

Blue electric arcs likewise crawled across her Warden Armor; circuits inside the armor continuously sparked, the high temperature from short circuits scorching her skin.

Intense pain made her vision repeatedly black out, but her hand did not loosen in the slightest.

She raised her head, looking at Renikes.

Her lips had already been bitten bloody by herself, yet her gaze remained Ice Cold Determination.

She made several gestures toward Renikes with difficulty.

【Open Fire.】

【Storm Blade.】

【Fire at Me.】

Renikes's body fiercely trembled.

Her hand gripping the Guard Long Spear unconsciously tightened.

Beneath the golden helmet, unknown what she was thinking.

She looked at Ralph, at this sister she had fought side by side with for decades.

Together they had hunted Gene Thieves on Hive Worlds, together fought against Chaos Demons in Warp Storms, together crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

How could she give the order to have plasma cannons bombard her own sister?

But......

She looked toward the Bridge's tottering Door.

Behind the Door was Dominic, was the James Tong's Command Center, was the hope of millions of Imperial soldiers.

If Lianggenna were allowed to rush in, everything would be over.

Renikes closed her eyes, drew a deep breath.

When she opened her eyes again, all emotion had disappeared.

Only Ice Cold Determination remained.

"All Storm Blades, attention!"

Her voice transmitted through the Communication Device, her voice regaining its former confidence and Dignity.

"Target, Green-skinned Leader dead ahead."

"Maximum power."

"Fire!"

"Yes, Adult!"

The Seven Storm Blades' Gunners did not hesitate in the slightest.

They were Imperial soldiers; obedience to orders was a duty engraved in their bones.

Seven Plasma Burst Cannons of enormous caliber began charging simultaneously.

The cannon mouths gathered increasingly dazzling blue Radiance; terrifying energy made the surrounding space begin to Distort.

The temperature in the Hall sharply rose; the Marble Floor began to smoke and melt.

Lianggenna sensed the Breath of death.

He frantically struggled, every muscle in his body bulging.

"Let go of me! Damn woman, let go of me!"

He used all his strength to thrash his body, trying to shake Ralph off his back.

But Ralph was like she had grown onto him, clinging to him dead tight.

The Flower of Heavenly Tribulation remained deeply embedded in his nape, continuously releasing electric current.

"Don't even think about it......"

The High Voltage Current still had not made this battle-hardened Sister lose Consciousness; she roared in her Inner Heart, holding fast to her will.

"I absolutely will not, let you succeed!"

Plasma charging complete.

Renikes raised her Right Hand.

Just as she was about to swing her arm down.

"Boom—!"

The Bridge's Alloy Door violently slid open to both Sides.

A black figure darted out like a cheetah.

A massive hydraulically driven Mechanical Hook Claw was installed on his left arm.

"Whoosh!"

The Mechanical Hook Claw flew out with a whistling wind, precisely wrapping around Ralph's Waist.

Fiercely yanked backward!

"Pfft!"

The Purification Thorn was forcibly yanked out of Lianggenna's nape, bringing a spurt of dark green blood.

Ralph's body was hurled backward by a tremendous force.

At the very instant she left Lianggenna's body.

"Boom!!!"

Seven blue plasma streams fired simultaneously, converging into a scorching blue orb of light that instantly swallowed Lianggenna's figure.

Temperatures of millions of degrees set the air itself ablaze, emitting crackling explosive sounds.

The marble floor in the center of the hall was directly vaporized, forming a massive pit.

The blinding blue light forced everyone to shut their eyes.

The mechanical hook claw pulled Ralph to the Bridge doorway.

A pair of large hands clad in black power armor caught her steadily.

Ralph looked up, and what met her gaze was a suit of majestic, heavy white power armor.

This armor was shorter and sturdier than an Astartes' Terminator Armor, its shoulders and chest carved with lifelike lion reliefs, and faint blue energy light flashed at its joints.

Its surface was coated with a layer of sacred blessing coating, capable of effectively resisting psyker and demon erosion.

This was the "Celestial Lion" Heavy Power Armor custom-built by the Machine Cult for Dominic Wenturia.

Its entire body was forged from a composite of orichalcum and rare alloys, and its internal structure was similar to that of Warden Armor.

It possessed fiber bundles that enhanced the wearer's strength; this was also its foundation as "power armor."

At the same time it incorporated "vitrified grid stone crystal" technology; this special crystal lattice structure had almost no weight, greatly reducing the armor main body's burden.

Its defense could rival ordinary Terminator Armor, but its demands on the user's physical quality were also extremely exacting.

On the entire James Tong, only Dominic, who had undergone inhuman training since childhood, could fully master it without external force.

"You've worked hard, Ralph."

Dominic's voice came from within the helmet, calm and steady, carrying the power to soothe hearts.

He handed Ralph to the medic behind him, then turned around, looking toward the center of the plasma explosion.

The blue radiance gradually faded.

Scorching smoke and dust permeated the entire hall.

Everyone held their breath, staring fixedly at that patch of smoke and dust.

"Finally... is it over..."

A bodyguard murmured to himself, his voice filled with fatigue and relief.

This green-skinned monster that had made them feel endless pressure had finally been eliminated.

Renikes also lowered his raised hand, his tense body finally relaxing.

No matter how strange he was, taking eight plasma burst cannon hits head-on, it was absolutely impossible to survive.

However.

As the smoke and dust slowly dispersed.

A charred figure stood silently in the center of that massive pit.

Lianggenna, still alive.

His whole body was burned to charcoal, skin peeling like cracked earth.

His left arm and right leg were reduced to bare white bone, his eyes burned away leaving only hollow sockets.

The whole person looked like a charred lump of flesh dragged out of a crematorium.

But he was indeed still alive.

His chest still rose and fell faintly.

He was still breathing.

"......."

The entire hall fell into a deathly silence.

A pin drop could be heard.

Everyone stared blankly at that charred figure, the relief on their faces instantly replaced by disbelief.

Eight plasma burst cannons!

Even a knight mecha couldn't withstand that, right?

They couldn't even kill a single green skin?

Just what kind of monster is this?

Cold despair, like ice water, drenched every heart.

Even the Empire's strongest conventional weapons couldn't kill him; what could they use to fight against him?

Just as everyone was stunned motionless by this terrifying scene.

"Crack, crunch~"

A tooth-grinding tearing sound shattered the silence.

Only to see Lianggenna's only relatively intact abdomen suddenly split open from the middle into a gigantic mouth.
