Wilshire's eyes, which had been deep and dark, suddenly turned golden, as if two miniature Sun were reflected in them.

He looked around, immediately turned on his Communicator, and sent a message to Anton.

"The enemy has deployed a Psionic Energy array, with its energy convergence point underground."

"A reckless attack could have unforeseen consequences; leave the rest to me."

"I will lead my team underground to resolve this."

Wilshire immediately switched communication channels and ordered the guards, "Get out of the vehicle!"

He, the "Solar High Priest," stepped out of the car first, his golden eyes scanning the surroundings before marking a hundred-meter-tall gray Spire in the Divination Box.

This gray building appeared most sinister in the eyes of the "Solar High Priest".

The guards, clad in black armor, assembled behind him, raised their Bedrock-pattern Bolter, and advanced towards the target building while firing.

"Door Opening!"

Upon hearing the lord's order, the two guards quickened their pace, their hands pressing against the gray building.

After the illusory gate opened, Wilshire went in first.

The "Solar High Priest" successfully found the passage leading underground within the gray Spire.

As the group spiraled down, everyone felt the temperature dropping lower and lower.

A member of the guard felt an supernatural chill and said in the team channel.

"This godforsaken place is so cold!"

The Chapter's Librarian looked around and saw runes engraved on the stairs and the surrounding gray walls.

"Psionic Energy array! The Psyker of Gardinal have set up a combined Psionic Energy array here."

"I can't be sure of the full effect of the array, but it has sealed this place into a closed space."

"There should be other arrays, other arrays..."

Before the Librarian could finish speaking, a group of monsters emerged from the sound of faltering footsteps.

The monsters in the front row raised their Lasgun and fired dense beams of light.

Their hunched bodies, with an arm extending from behind, shot out at lightning speed.

The "Solar High Priest" saw that the humanoid monster was covered in rotten flesh, with maggots wriggling inside.

The "Solar High Priest" seemed lost in thought, when suddenly the golden Sun in his eyes burst forth, and a sacred, Pure Light descended from the sky.

The humanoid monster roared in Affliction amidst the light, melting rapidly as if it were burning.

The guards were bathed in brilliant light, yet felt a sense of pure warmth.

After using "Summon Holy Light" to kill the monster, the "Solar High Priest" felt as if something inside his body was melting, and at the same time confirmed that his previous guess was correct.

[Selhi uses biochemical technology to modify the human body.]

They then set up a Psionic Energy array to bind the "expired" souls within the body.

He's creating Necrons creatures! No wonder he's entrenched in the Biochemical Recycling Center; it provides him with an endless supply of raw materials.

As Wilshire pondered, he saw a series of shriveled monsters flying down from below.

They had three heads, Distortion as they looked around.

Upon seeing the black giant, they all turned their heads to look at Wilshire.

They spat out strands of black, sticky liquid that dripped onto the ground.

Two guards beside him raised their Bedrock-pattern Bolter.

Equipped with a Squats Hunter Module, it automatically and instantly locks onto incoming monsters and fires with a roar.

The Adamantine Warhead shot out at high speed, striking the monsters and shattering their pieced-together bodies.

Countless humanoid monsters flew in, their three heads opening and emitting howls simultaneously.

The humanoid monsters screamed in Affliction, wanting to inflict the same torture they had suffered on the black-armored Warrior.

The cries of Affliction coalesced into a terrifying howl, causing the two guards to freeze in their tracks, their firing motions halting involuntarily.

The monsters' six arms were connected by bat-like wing membranes that vibrated, and their speed suddenly increased as they pounced on the black-armored Warrior like lightning.

The "Solar High Priest's " golden eyes shone brightly, and a golden, translucent liquid fell from nowhere.

The Sun Holy Water struck the flying monsters, piercing their bodies like Spear.

Thump thump...

The "Solar High Priest" strode forward, golden light gleaming from his Thunder Hammer as he attacked the rapidly falling monster.

He swung his hammer, and in the golden light, the monster's body was torn to pieces and vanished in a flash.

The "Solar High Priest" descended, using the "Create Holy Water" skill to summon Sun Holy Water that dripped down onto the monsters, killing the surging Necrons monsters.

Suddenly, Wilshire's view opened up.

The Librarian followed in the lord's footsteps and saw beams of Psionic Energy light shimmering on a huge circular platform.

Blood Red rivers churn, green mist rises...

"This is the center of the Psionic Energy array..."

A deafening roar interrupted the Librarian's words.

"Damn it!" A figure as tall as Warhound Titan roared and charged out.

He had many arms hanging from his body, each covered with countless faces.

"You've interrupted my grand plan, you're all going to die!"

Selhi roared in fury, his roar sounding as if the cries of countless dead souls were echoing.

Using his mastery of biochemical modification technology and Psionic Energy arrays, he sought to transform himself into a perfect body, possessing the same combat power as Stelacon metal body.

Selhi, with the help of her minions and Psyker Caste, spent a millennium constructing the Biomass Reclamation Center.

After another 430 years, he gathered the essence of each recovered body onto his own.

In just over a hundred years, he will be able to complete the transformation and become a powerful being like Stelacon.

But these damned Shadow of Order disrupted his plans.

The Cyclone Missile Launcher atop the Cataphractii Terminator Armour warriors of the guards vibrated in unison, sending missiles hurtling toward Selhi.

Boom boom boom!

A violent tremor shook the ground beneath my feet, and severed limbs flew everywhere.

A severed arm slammed into a member of the guard, and the black biochemical slime rapidly Corrosion the Cataphractii Terminator Armour.

Selhi lost hundreds of arms, but he still has thousands of arms, which together form three long arms.

Two grayish-white arms swept horizontally, while another arm slammed down.

The guards, whose armor was Corrosion the biochemical slime, were swept by an arm and instantly crushed into a pulp.

His other arm slammed into the guards, sending them flying one by one.

The severed arm swung straight at Wilshire.

The "Solar High Priest's " eyes shone brightly, and golden flames instantly ignited out of thin air.

These flames exuded the vast, pervasive aura of the Sun, densely packed together like an ocean, enveloping Selhi's enormous body.

The sacred flames ignited by the "Fire of Light" burned the souls bound to Selhi into drops of liquid like candles, which vanished in silent screams.

The "Solar High Priest" silently recited Dunnish, and his speed suddenly increased dramatically. The "Sacred Oath" made him, dressed in the Cataphractii Terminator, faster than the Shadow of Order dressed in the Mark II Power Armor.

Flames erupted from the Thunder Hammer, illuminating it with a dazzling golden light.

The "Solar High Priest" leaped high into the air, swung his Thunder Hammer, and smashed it down on Selhi's body.

Amidst the explosion, Sersui's body shattered, and at the same time, Wilshire also felt the stars within his body shatter, and he thought to himself.

I have become a true "Solar High Priest".
