Your massive body slowly rose into the air as countless black shadows, recondensed from within your body, spread across the faintly glowing shell of your Vibranium Power Armor.
You briefly calculated the timing of the Traitor Legion fleet's attack.
You immediately ordered the numerous Librarian units of the Iron Hands, Salamanders, and Raven Guard to raise Psychic Shields and simultaneously pour vast amounts of Psykic Power into you.
Buzzz—
The next second, immense Psykic Power from countless Librarian units continuously poured into your massive body.
Strands of black shadow suddenly surged upward, dancing across your armor like flames!
You gritted your teeth and endured the physical agony brought by the unrestrained expansion of Shadow Power.
You did not enter the Warp Liberated State of a raven-headed humanoid.
The reason you had gathered such an immense amount of Psykic Power was not to increase your individual combat strength, but to ensure that more Astartes survived the coming assault!
Rumble—
At that moment, the terrifying roar from the skies above made every Astartes raise their heads.
A massive Orbital Bombardment, one that nearly illuminated the entire dim sky of Istvan V, came crashing down upon your legion's position!
You suddenly raised a huge palm wreathed in black shadows.
At your command, layer upon layer of shadow curtains spread through the air above the entire legion position as though they possessed life!
The next moment, countless dazzling energy beams unleashed by the Orbital Bombardment were successfully blocked by the layered shadow curtains!
Even though the weaker portions of the Shadow Power were repeatedly torn open by energy beams exploding out of thin air, leaving horrifying gaps behind, you gritted your teeth and, bolstered by the immense psychic energy of countless Librarian units, patched them shut and continued to withstand the relentless Orbital Bombardment!
