Battle is imminent.

Mordred was the first to strike. As the saying goes, one trick is enough to make you successful. Ever since he awakened his Blink Skill, Mordred has been particularly fond of flanking and backstabbing, which has become an instinctive instinct for him.

A green illusion flickered, and a terrifying beast teleported into the arena, carrying chitinous claws engraved with Decomposition Field, flying out and pointing directly at the opponent's axe.

Mordred was confident he could tear Randan Empress to shreds on the spot if he took that claw, but to be on the safe side, he raised his head and opened his blood-red maw to bite her in mid-air.

However, as the Emperor Rangdan, an ancient monster Perpetual had lived for an unknown amount of time, Dahl was no ordinary person. Endless Psychic Power erupted forth...

In the blink of an eye, a simple and unadorned Psionic Blast was unleashed.

It's considered simple because Psionic Blast, like Fireball Spell, are a versatile technique used by Psyker from different factions—a true all-rounder.

The result was that Mordred, who was hit, had her limbs amputated below the head, and everything within a 16-kilometer radius behind her was reduced to dust.

It was only thanks to the Emperor's arrival that the big oaf's head was taken; otherwise, Mordred would have been sacrificed to the heavens.

"Holy crap! Is this even human?"

Mordred, who was nearly slapped to death, did not hesitate. His eyes instantly became clear and bright. Before the second Psionic Blast arrived, he rolled on the spot and ran away decisively, jumping behind his good brother and protecting Zhuang Sen and the other two in front of him.

Gazing at the terrifying scene of Fantasy Great Power battling it out, where every move could split mountains and shatter rocks, and ravage the entire world, the Four knew that this was a battlefield they could not possibly join.

It's fair to say that not bringing Guilliman was the best decision. Luckily, Mordred was the first to get carried away, otherwise, with Guilliman's small frame, the Future Death Guard would have definitely lost their future son-in-law.

The boiling flesh and blood fused together again, and Mordred, now only a skull and fleshy body, returned to human form in just a few seconds. However, compared to the previous hundred-meter-tall behemoth, he was now less than 8 meters in size.

Although he was nearly slapped to death, Mordred refused to back down. Mordred pulled out his Great Cleaver, pointed it at his opponent, and shouted:

"You bastards, you can't beat the old man, but you think I can't beat the young one? Today, the four of us brothers are going to crush you!"

Soldiers against soldiers, kings against kings, each with their own opponent, and for a time they fought to a standstill. However, the Randan Warlord, who also had Mind Network, was far more skillful than the Four. The Sanguinius almost had his wings cut off by Zhuang Sen, Mordred almost stabbed Russ.

To avoid bothering others, the four brothers each had to choose an opponent. Based on the size of the cup (small, medium, large, super large), Mordred naturally faced off against the largest one.

Stereotypes are indeed true; the biggest guy is always the tank warrior. But as soon as they clashed, Mordred discovered that his enemy was slightly different from the chicken and dog he had imagined. His opponent was like a humanoid Titan, and his pure physical strength was actually comparable to his own.

Both being Tank Warrior, both sides opted for a strategy of trading blows. Mordred can freely shape his body, while the opponent also has Living Weapon made from mimicked arms, making it a battle between the Tyranid Tyrant and the Blacklight Virus.

Piercing, slashing—each attack tore chunks of flesh from both sides. Crimson Psykers energy clashed with Emerald Chaos Energy; the two undead Cockroach were locked in a frenzied brawl, neither able to kill the other, neither able to gain the upper hand. It was a battle of wits, seeing who would fall first.

With its gaping maw wide open, Emerald Lightning flashed from its throat as it unleashed a burst of Chaos Breath, instantly melting Randan Warlord's arm.

Crushed bones would regenerate in the next second, and burned flesh would immediately regenerate. As time passed, Mordred discovered that the other party was evolving rapidly. Then the other party opened its fiery red lips and spat out a Crimson Breath at him.

"Interesting! Very interesting indeed. I am Mordred Wayne, Lord of Atlas and Second Primarch. State your name, for I do not kill nameless nobodies."

Seeing the Giant Lizard in front of him also rapidly recovering and staring intently at him, Randan Warlord also distanced himself and shouted loudly:

"I am the Number One General Under the King, the Underworld God of War Oxe! You are a worthy opponent; I can hold my own against you for a whole day."

"Pfft, what? Oxe? Your sister's name is either Athena or Venus, and you're called Oxe? What idiot gave you that name? You weren't adopted, were you?"

"Shut up! You monster!" Enraged, Randan Warlord Oxe brandished his claws, grabbing Mordred's neck and shoving his jaw open before delivering a brutal blow.

However, Randan Warlord clearly did not understand Mordred's true nature. He was just a Living Meatball that spread pollution at will, and the mere decapitation wound was nothing serious.

In an instant, countless fleshy tentacles shot out from the severed neck and burrowed into Oxe's body, while the headless body spread its four arms to embrace the enemy's limbs.

Having endured until now, Mordred finally stopped hiding and began to frantically devour the flesh and blood of her enemies. Her entire body liquefied and boiled, flowing into Oxe's body.

This inhuman scene sent chills down Randan Warlord's spine. His limbs, corrupted by Mordred, were out of control and were transforming into Humanoid Xenos. Countless mad images flashed through his mind.

Who am I? Where am I? Am I Mordred? No! I am my Mother's Proudest Scion.

Her soul was twisted, her consciousness shattered, and her body deformed—all of this plunged Oxe into chaos. Yet, even so, she managed to regain a brief period of lucidity through her unwavering Fealty to her mother.

Suddenly sensing that he was about to be completely replaced, Oxe didn't hesitate. With his last bit of strength, he held Mordred's head and mocked:

"You vile Humanoid Xenos, you greedy, lustful the Beast, do you think you can kill me?"

"Nani?"

"Backup Hidden Energy, activate!"

A massive amount of Warp Demonic Energy, comparable to Greater Daemon's self-destruction, erupted forth, sending Giant Mushroom Cloud soaring into the sky, composing a Hymn of Loyalty, covering an area of 20...

Everything within a kilometer radius will be engulfed by the explosion.

Just as Mordred was being exploded by a massive Warp Demonic Energy, a small Star God Fragment melted into his body. The two forces clashed, suppressing the terrifying magic.

Mordred, who had been thoroughly filled, Collapsed on the Ground, his body covered in scarlet cracks, like a Living Bomb. It took him a while to calm down.

Normally, Mordred would be ecstatic, but the timing is wrong. There's no time to assimilate these energy reserves. Perhaps it's Telepathic Connection between brothers, but more likely it's because they don't want to be taken away by Rangdan's self-destruction. The most cunning Roboute Guilliman begins to lead the enemy closer to Mordred, his eyes flashing with a strange light.

"Second Brother, I'm here to help you!"
