At first, Luojia thought it was just a game, a joke Mordred was playing on her.

When Luo Jia learned that her first opponent was a chicken, Luojia didn't take it seriously and became even more determined to pursue her idea. After all, chickens also existed in Colchis, and she had even raised them when she was a child. Unfortunately, her father and Aribas cooked and ate them.

But no matter what, Luojia would never admit that a strange creature weighing at least nearly 500 pounds and over three meters tall was a chicken.

As is widely known, ninety percent of the Empire's technology relies on archaeology, highlighting the Brute Force. And the foundation upon which this Abstract Maneuver is built...

It refers to the almost magical materials technology that humanity possesses.

Among them, the Four Heavenly Kings iron, plastic, pottery, and fine craftsmanship are the most prominent.

Iron refers to Adamantium, the main building material of the Hive City, which can support man-made wonders tens of thousands of meters high. However, this thing was torn to shreds by a single claw of the Serenity Free-Range Chicken.

"Plastic" refers to Plasteel, a core material used in Flak Armour and even in various Space Marine equipment. As for Adamantium, it goes without saying that it's the armor layer of Power Armor, capable of withstanding even a flashlight beam.

The reason why the Serenity chickens were chosen by Atlas as the first trial for new recruits is because they slowly absorb Adamantium particles from rocks, eventually growing an Adamantium beak that can cough through Adamantium, and they are also social animals.

The Primarch's power is a topic that the Imperial populace enjoys discussing most.

If you put it online, it could spark a heated debate for hundreds of posts, with even a lot of inhuman and ghostly things getting involved. But there's no doubt that the Primarchs have extremely powerful self-healing abilities and are incredibly resilient.

Luojia was pecked to death, said it was all true; if she didn't have such a strong physique, she would have died long ago.

Facing the mad chicken's deadly charge, Luojia bravely charged out of the cave, riddled with holes, and then she encountered a Catachan Demon.

"Heu!! (Imperial profanity:)"

Faced with this gigantic beast that was more than ten meters long, Luojia, who was trapped in the cave, had no choice but to brandish his dagger and charge forward.

However, the Catachan Demon is no ordinary Khala; its thick chitinous armor is comparable to the frontal armor of the Roboute Guilliman, making it a true living tank.

Luojia's small dagger wasn't even as thick as the armor layer. After realizing that this two-legged beast couldn't hurt her, the Catachan Demon swung its claws and slapped Luojia away, then started chasing her.

Venom spitting and claws piercing, Luojia was soon covered in wounds. This directly ignited Luojia's ferocity. Despite the venom covering his head, he leaped and jumped behind the Catachan Demon.

The acid-corroded hands pierced the chitinous armor like razors, forcing the Catachan Demon to intensify its venom spray. But the giant, already possessed, paid no heed, tearing through flesh with brute force and burrowing inside.

"Go to hell, you monster!"

Luojia, now inside the Catachan Demon, was truly enraged. That bastard Mordred was clearly after him; this was murder.

However, Luojia, in his frantic struggle, failed to realize that his every move was being monitored by Atlas. Mordred had even set up a betting pool, wagering on whose idea could defeat Luojia's.

Seeing that the Catachan Demon he had captured was about to be delivered, Goff, having lost 30 gold dogs, detonated the bomb inside the Catachan Demon.

"Boom!" With a violent explosion, Luojia, who had taken the brunt of the attack to her face, was blasted into the air. But at this moment, Luojia was surprisingly clear-headed and began to swing her body, crashing into the distance.

"Hehe, this is my escape route!"

Before Luojia could even rejoice, a missile blasted her back to the ground, and Mordred's mocking voice rang in her ears:

"Dear viewers, our Luojia contestant has passed the beginner level. It seems Goff will need to get a new pet."

Poor Luojia, what on earth is your god up to? Why doesn't he come to save you? Look at your pitiful state, it Second Brother my heart.

Hey you, please blur out our imperial Princess's face, don't set a bad example for the children."

Looking at the drone footage descending from the sky, Luojia cursed loudly, but Mordred ignored him and continued to mock him:

"Useless Luojia, if you have nothing to do, just chew on your Lighter. You have three minutes to rest. Next up is our Atlas's top-tier combination, the Four Knights of the King Mushroom.' Now, a quick GG announcement."

Salamanders Brand Cleansing Facial Wash, whitens every inch of your skin, made with natural volcanic mud from Nightfall Star, purely natural and pollution-free.

[Green, environmentally friendly, and pollution-free; even the Lord of Fire uses it!]

Luojia was beyond exasperated. What the hell was this Salamanders Brand face wash? Everyone there was a black man, even someone like herself who had only recently returned to the Empire knew that. What good was skin whitening?!

"Hey Mordred, you son of a bitch, bring it on! The Four Knights of the King, huh? I'm not afraid of you."

Ignoring Luojia's impotent rage, the six-dimensional giant mushroom, comparable in size to the Dreadnought, clad in Atlas- style trench coat and sporting a bizarre Jingba Mushroom cap, made a dazzling entrance, immediately drawing another barrage of curses from Luojia:

"Damn it, there aren't four people at all! You want me? This is Xenos! Father won't forgive you!"

"Hahaha, nonsense! Isn't it only natural that there are six of the Four Horsemen? If you don't understand, don't spout nonsense. Men, let this ignorant bumpkin know who you are."

As Mordred finished speaking, six Jingba Mushroom struck arrogant poses and announced their numbers in turn:

"I am the King Heavenly King Heaven, the Under Heavenly King, the Four Heavenly King, the Rider Heavenly King, the Warrior Heavenly King, and the Mushroom Heavenly King."

Heavy footsteps thundered as a golden lightning spear shot out. Connected by the Mind Network, the "Four Knights of the King Mushroom" were of one mind and began frantically rubbing the controller.

With both skill and stats, changing direction and weaving, combining close and long-range attacks, and employing a variety of feints, the veteran Atlas is far more experienced than the brute force-bound Luojia in terms of combat experience.

Even with her strong physique, the Primal Body couldn't withstand the savage attacks of the Jingba Mushroom. A barrage of fist shadows crashed down, forcing Luojia to circle around the pillar like the King of Qin, repeatedly coughing up blood from the blows.

However, as the battle continued, the space available for dodging became smaller and smaller, and the self-healing speed could not keep up with the accumulation of wounds. Every inch of his bones trembled and groaned.

Finally, with a supersonic punch, Luojia's right leg was broken. Immediately afterwards, five lightning spears descended from the sky, piercing his chest and pinning the immobilized Luojia into the rock layer, emitting plumes of black smoke.

Luojia felt like she was going to die; everything went black before her eyes. But, to make matters worse, Mordred's voice started ringing out again:

"Pfft, as expected, trash is trash. As Primarch, you actually want to give up? How can someone like you be changed? Do you want me to turn you into Living Wombs that only produces offspring?"

He even claims to be a follower of some deity. If your god saw this kind of behavior, even the god would be disgusted! It's utterly absurd; there is no omnipotent god in this world.

Upon hearing Mordred speak of deities, Luojia was enraged. She absolutely would not allow anyone to tarnish her faith; she was determined to prove it to others and let everyone know that God exists.

"Shut up!"

A golden light suddenly shone, healing Luojia's broken leg. Two hands emerged from the ruins, grasping the scorching lightning spear that was spewing flames.

"Father, a level 12 Psychic Power waveform has been detected."

"Run? (A vulgar expression used by Dog-men)"

As the piercing alarm sounded, the Thunder Spear was eroded away from Luojia's chest cavity, and the intense High Temperature it brought melted the Jingba Mushroom Hand.

"Boom!" The energy shock from the extreme Psychic Power sent all the surrounding Jingba Mushroom flying. The monitor only showed a blinding golden light, and the bald-headed Luojia floated into the air, his previously bald Baldy sprouting strands of silver hair:

"I am not a waste, I am not a waste, I am Luojia Aurelion, I am the messenger of God!"

With a Roared from Luojia, she transformed from a bald Ogryn, into a powerful, muscular figure Psyker Rotation.

His Psychic Power transformed into golden runes imprinted on his body, and his Overlord's Will and power surged even more dramatically. The sky was even torn apart by a violent storm, making him appear like a living god, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

With his health and mana fully restored, Luojia swung his arm, his golden Psychic Power transforming into a 20-meter-long blade that sliced apart a Jingba Mushroom that couldn't dodge in time, causing its owner the Khan, to let out a painful cry:

"No, Cockroach, I can't lose you! What will I do without you! Father, can we get the expenses reimbursed to the legion's account?"

"My father is amazing!"

Unexpectedly, Luojia realized how powerful he was. He felt it was time to settle accounts with Mordred: "Mordred, today, I will enlighten you, you fool!"

Ignoring the Khan's loss of his vehicle, the remaining five Jingba Mushroom, realizing what had happened, retreated. Even though their opponent had suddenly unleashed a burst of power, they were no Kiya. However, as they clashed again, the Four Heavenly Kings discovered that Luojia's skills were rapidly improving. He had evolved from a mindless brute into a despicable outsider, trying to deceive and ambush them, the old comrades.

The techniques they used were clearly their own.

In the clash, the super-evolved Luojia was able to fight the Five Mushrooms to a standstill, but it was clear to everyone that the Jingba Mushroom's body was already overheating and was no match for the original Jinba Mushroom's body. Defeat was only a matter of time.

Objectively speaking, the fact that six Jingba Mushroom, built with less than the cost of a single Crusader Knight, have managed to hold out this long is already an extraordinary achievement.

As expected, Luojia seized the opportunity and used her size advantage to quickly appear in front of Mushroom Heavenly King, who was hiding behind and throwing lightning spears while being controlled by Kialan.

"God-Emperor Blast Fist"

A violent explosion, like Deathstrike Missile, struck, melting the scrap armor on Mushroom Heavenly King's body in a single blow. Half of his body was reduced to ashes, emitting a strong aroma of roasted mushrooms that aroused Luojia's thirst.

Without the support of the Mushroom Heavenly King, the other Four Heavenly Kings were quickly killed, smashed into a pile of mushroom fragments.

"Weak, weak, weak! Bring on whatever tricks you have up your sleeve!"

Even with the mosaic obscuring the view, Mordred could clearly see Luojia's arrogant attitude through the drone, which greatly annoyed him. She was actually squatting on the ground eating mushrooms!

You damned bastard, what do you take my biological weapon for? Don't eat it!

Mordred, who considers himself refined and easygoing, would never admit that he couldn't accept defeat; he wasn't that pathetic loser.

A chaotic, Emerald Lightning flickered from the void, connecting with the mushroom skeletons scattered on the ground, interrupting Luojia's feeding. Mordred's voice also came through the drone once more:

"Luojia, congratulations on passing the first trial, but don't be too happy yet. Next, I will show you what Atlas's true strength is."

You really think you're Invincible Under Heaven just because you defeated six Jingba Mushroom? How ridiculous! You can guess what we Atlas do; we're just mushrooms, we have plenty more.

O battle mushrooms of the endless abyss, in the name of the Mushroom Demon King, I grant you the right to burn once more! Giant Mountain Super Power Overlord —Combined!

Accompanied by a catchy chorus of "GOGO, I'm afraid I'll get tired, "the Jingba Mushroom, which had been smashed into pieces, rapidly turned green and, under the influence of the Chaos Primordial, quickly merged, eventually transforming into a colossal mushroom weapon the size of Reaper-class Titan.

Moreover, as the first rays of sunlight touched the earth, Luojia saw a mountain range emerging from the horizon, and the mountain range was growing larger and larger.

Upon closer inspection, Luojia immediately wore an expression as if his father had died, because it was not a mountain range at all, but a swarm of Jingba Mushroom stretching for several kilometers, led by an Emperor Titan and guarded by six War Hounds.

And who else could be standing atop that Machine God, striking a pose with his back to the sun, but Mordred?

"Luojia, run! If I catch you, you'll be utterly Kiya!"
